Overview


We are one of the leading providers of worldwide manufacturing services and
solutions. We provide comprehensive electronics design, production and product
management services to companies in various industries and end markets. Our
services enable our customers to reduce manufacturing costs, improve
supply-chain management, reduce inventory obsolescence, lower transportation
costs and reduce product fulfillment time. Our manufacturing and supply chain
management services and solutions include innovation, design, planning,
fabrication and assembly, delivery and managing the flow of resources and
products. We derive substantially all of our revenue from production and product
management services (collectively referred to as "manufacturing services"),
which encompass the act of producing tangible components that are built to
customer specifications and are then provided to the customer.

We serve our customers primarily through dedicated business units that combine
highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing with advanced electronic design
and design for manufacturability. We depend, and expect to continue to depend,
upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our
net revenue, which in turn depends upon their growth, viability and financial
stability.

We conduct our operations in facilities that are located worldwide, including
but not limited to, China, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, the United States and
Vietnam. We derived a substantial majority, 83.6% of net revenue from our
international operations for the three months ended November 30, 2020. Our
global manufacturing production sites allow customers to manufacture products
simultaneously in the optimal locations for their products. Our global presence
is key to assessing and executing on our business opportunities.

We have two reporting segments: Electronics Manufacturing Services ("EMS") and
Diversified Manufacturing Services ("DMS"), which are organized based on the
economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing
capabilities, market strategy, margins, return on capital and risk profiles. Our
EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and
engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, utilizing our
large scale manufacturing infrastructure and our ability to serve a broad range
of end markets. Our EMS segment is a high volume business that produces product
at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in larger quantities and includes
customers primarily in the 5G, wireless and cloud, digital print and retail,
industrial and semi-cap, and networking and storage industries. Our DMS segment
is focused on providing engineering solutions, with an emphasis on material
sciences, technologies and healthcare. Our DMS includes customers primarily in
the automotive and transportation, connected devices, healthcare and packaging,
and mobility industries.

As of September 1, 2020, certain customers have been realigned within our
operating segments. Our operating segments, which are the reporting segments,
continue to consist of the DMS and EMS segments. Customers within the automotive
and transportation and smart home and appliances industries are now presented
within the DMS segment. Prior period disclosures are restated to reflect the
realignment.

We monitor the current economic environment and its potential impact on both the
customers we serve as well as our end-markets and closely manage our costs and
capital resources so that we can respond appropriately as circumstances change.

COVID-19



The COVID-19 pandemic, which began to impact us in January 2020, has continued
to affect our business and the businesses of our customers and suppliers. Travel
and business operation restrictions arising from virus containment efforts of
governments around the world have continued to impact our operations in Asia,
Europe and the Americas. Essential activity exceptions from these restrictions
have allowed us to continue to operate. Nevertheless, virus containment efforts
have resulted in additional direct costs and a reduction in revenue in certain
end markets.

Additionally, certain of the Company's suppliers were similarly impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, leading to supply chain constraints, including difficulty
sourcing materials necessary to fulfill customer production requirements and
challenges in transporting completed products to our end customers.

Our performance is subject to global economic conditions, as well as their impacts on levels of consumer spending and the production of goods. These current conditions are impacted by COVID-19 and will continue to have an impact on our operations over the fiscal year and likely beyond.

Key Performance Indicators
Management regularly reviews financial and non-financial performance indicators
to assess the Company's operating results. Changes in our operating assets and
liabilities are largely affected by our working capital requirements, which are
dependent on the effective management of our sales cycle as well as timing of
payments. Our sales cycle measures how quickly we can convert our manufacturing
services into cash through sales. We believe the metrics set forth below are
useful to investors in measuring our liquidity as future liquidity needs will
depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts
payable.
The following table sets forth, for the quarterly periods indicated, certain of
management's key financial performance indicators:
                                                                                         Three months ended
                                                                 November

Days in inventory(4)                                                           55 days                56 days                  57 days
Days in accounts payable(5)                                                    80 days                75 days                  77 days




(1)The sales cycle is calculated as the sum of days in accounts receivable and
days in inventory, less the days in accounts payable; accordingly, the variance
in the sales cycle quarter over quarter was a direct result of changes in these
indicators.
(2)Inventory turns (annualized) are calculated as 360 days divided by days in
inventory.
(3)Days in accounts receivable is calculated as accounts receivable, net,
divided by net revenue multiplied by 90 days. During the three months ended
November 30, 2020, the increase in days in accounts receivable from the prior
sequential quarter was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable,
primarily driven by higher sales and timing of collections.
(4)Days in inventory is calculated as inventory and contract assets divided by
cost of revenue multiplied by 90 days.
(5)Days in accounts payable is calculated as accounts payable divided by cost of
revenue multiplied by 90 days. During the three months ended November 30, 2020,
the increase in days in accounts payable from the prior sequential quarter was
primarily due to an increase for material purchases during the quarter and the
timing of payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related
disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect
our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis,
we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and
various other factors and
                                       21

circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are
reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these
estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. For further

Results of Operations
Net Revenue
Generally, we assess revenue on a global customer basis regardless of whether
the growth is associated with organic growth or as a result of an acquisition.
Accordingly, we do not differentiate or separately report revenue increases
generated by acquisitions as opposed to existing business. In addition, the
added cost structures associated with our acquisitions have historically been
relatively insignificant when compared to our overall cost structure.
The distribution of revenue across our segments has fluctuated, and will
continue to fluctuate, as a result of numerous factors, including the following:
fluctuations in customer demand; efforts to diversify certain portions of our
business; business growth from new and existing customers; specific product
performance; and any potential termination, or substantial winding down, of
significant customer relationships.

Net revenue increased during the three months ended November 30, 2020, compared
to the three months ended November 30, 2019. Specifically, the DMS segment
revenues increased 13% due to (i) a 7% increase in revenues from existing
customers within our mobility business, (ii) a 3% increase in revenues from
existing customers within our connected devices business, (iii) a 2% increase in
revenues from new and existing customers in our healthcare and packaging
businesses, and (iv) a 1% increase in revenues from other business. The EMS
segment revenues decreased 4% primarily due to a decrease in revenues from
existing customers within our cloud business, which began transitioning to a
consignment model in fiscal year 2021.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, revenue by segment
expressed as a percentage of net revenue:

Percent of net revenue                8.1  %                 7.4  %



For the three months ended November 30, 2020, gross profit as a percentage of
net revenue increased as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019.
The increase is primarily due to product mix and improved profitability across
the various businesses.
Selling, General and Administrative
                                                   Three months ended

Selling, general and administrative    $       302.8          $            

328.9 $ (26.1)




Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the three months
ended November 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019.
The decrease is predominantly due to: (i) a $24.4 million decrease in salary and
salary related expenses due to the fiscal year 2020 worldwide workforce
reduction and lower travel expenses related to a decrease in travel due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) a $14.0 million decrease in acquisition and
integration charges related to our strategic collaboration with a healthcare
company. The decrease is partially offset by (i) a $9.0 million increase in
costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including personal protection equipment
for our employees globally and (ii) a $3.3 million increase in stock-based
compensation expense.
Research and Development
                                         Three months ended

Percent of net revenue                 0.1   %                      0.1  %


Research and development expenses remained consistent as a percentage of net
revenue during the three months ended November 30, 2020, compared to the three
months ended November 30, 2019.
Amortization of Intangibles
                                          Three months ended

Amortization of intangibles   $      11.5            $             16.1      $ (4.6)


Amortization of intangibles decreased during the three months ended November 30,
2020, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, primarily due to
certain intangible assets that were fully amortized during fiscal year 2020.
Restructuring, Severance and Related Charges
Following is a summary of the Company's restructuring, severance and related
charges (in millions):
                                                                                   Three months ended

(1)Primarily relates to the 2020 Restructuring Plan, and includes $(3.0) million
and $17.4 million recorded in the EMS segment, $1.0 million and $25.2 million
recorded in the DMS segment and $0.3 million and $2.7 million of non-allocated
charges for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Except for asset write-off costs, all restructuring, severance and related
charges are cash costs.

Other (income) expense   $      (1.9)           $             11.2      $ (13.1)


Other (income) expense decreased for the three months ended November 30, 2020,
compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, primarily due to: (i) $7.6
million related to a decrease in fees associated with lower utilization of the
trade accounts receivable sales programs, (ii) $3.9 million related to lower net
periodic benefit costs and (iii) $1.6 million arising from a reduction in other
expense.
Interest Income
                                     Three months ended

              $              5.9      $ (4.0)


Interest income decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2020,
compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, primarily due to lower
interest rates on cash equivalents (investments that are readily convertible to
cash with maturity dates of 90 days or less).
Interest Expense
                                    Three months ended

Interest expense        $      32.3            $             44.9      $ (12.6)


Interest expense decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2020,
compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019 due to lower interest rates
and lower borrowings on our credit facilities and commercial paper program.
Income Tax Expense

Effective income tax rate                 29.6  %                60.3  %     (30.7) %


The effective income tax rate decreased for the three months ended November 30,
2020, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, primarily due to
increased income for the three months ended November 30, 2020, driven in part by
decreased restructuring charges in tax jurisdictions with minimal related income
tax benefit.
Non-GAAP (Core) Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations include certain non-GAAP financial measures as identified in the
reconciliations below. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein do not
have standard meaning and may vary from the non-GAAP financial measures used by
other companies or how we may calculate those measures in other instances from
time to time. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute
for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Also, our "core" financial measures should not be construed as
an indication by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items
that are excluded from our "core" financial measures.
Management believes that the non-GAAP "core" financial measures set forth below
are useful to facilitate evaluating the past and future performance of our
ongoing manufacturing operations over multiple periods on a comparable basis by
excluding the effects of the amortization of intangibles, stock-based
compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related
charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition and integration charges, loss
on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges,
impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges,
business interruption and impairment charges, net, loss on securities, income
(loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued
operations and certain other expenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax
valuation allowance charges. Among other uses, management uses non-GAAP "core"
financial measures to make operating decisions, assess business performance and
as a factor in determining certain employee performance when evaluating
incentive compensation.
                                       24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
We determine the tax effect of the items excluded from "core" earnings and
"core" diluted earnings per share based upon evaluation of the statutory tax
treatment and the applicable tax rate of the jurisdiction in which the pre-tax
items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if
any, is expected. In certain jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a
tax benefit (due to existing tax incentives or a history of operating losses or
other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax
assets), a reduced or 0% tax rate is applied.
We are reporting "core" operating income, "core" earnings and cash flow to
provide investors with an additional method for assessing operating income and
earnings, by presenting what we believe are our "core" manufacturing operations.
A significant portion (based on the respective values) of the items that are
excluded for purposes of calculating "core" operating income and "core" earnings
also impacted certain balance sheet assets, resulting in a portion of an asset
being written off without a corresponding recovery of cash we may have
previously spent with respect to the asset. In the case of restructuring,
severance and related charges, we may make associated cash payments in the
future. In addition, although, for purposes of calculating "core" operating
income and "core" earnings, we exclude stock-based compensation expense (which
we anticipate continuing to incur in the future) because it is a non-cash
expense, the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our
outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our
stockholders' ownership interest. We encourage you to consider these matters
when evaluating the utility of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities plus cash receipts on sold receivables less net capital expenditures
(acquisition of property, plant and equipment less proceeds and advances from
the sale of property, plant and equipment). We report adjusted free cash flow as
we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in measuring
our ability to generate cash internally and fund future growth and to provide a
return to shareholders.

measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures as
provided in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Acquisitions and Expansion
During fiscal year 2018, the Company and JJMD entered into a Framework Agreement
to form a strategic collaboration and expand our existing relationship. The
strategic collaboration expands our medical device manufacturing portfolio,
diversification and capabilities.
On October 26, 2020, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, we completed
the fourth closing of our acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The preliminary
aggregate purchase price paid for the fourth closing was approximately $18.4
million in cash, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments based
on conditions within the Framework Agreement. Total assets acquired of $30.6
million and total liabilities assumed of $12.2 million were recorded at their
estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
The acquisition of the JJMD assets was accounted for as a business combination
using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company is currently evaluating
the fair values of the assets and liabilities related to the fourth closing. The
preliminary estimates and measurements are, therefore, subject to change during
the measurement period for assets acquired, liabilities assumed and tax
adjustments. The results of operations were included in our consolidated
financial results beginning on October 26, 2020 for the fourth closing. We
believe it is impracticable to provide pro forma information for the acquisition
of the JJMD assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our level of liquidity sources, which includes available
borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program,
additional proceeds available under our asset-backed securitization programs and
under our uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs, cash on hand,
funds provided by operations and the access to the capital markets, will be
adequate to fund our capital expenditures, the payment of any declared quarterly
dividends, any share repurchases under the approved program, any potential
acquisitions and our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We
continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying
available cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of November 30, 2020, we had approximately $1.1 billion in cash and cash
equivalents. As our growth remains predominantly outside of the United States, a
significant portion of such cash and cash equivalents are held by our foreign
subsidiaries. Most of our cash and cash equivalents as of November 30, 2020
could be repatriated to the United States without potential tax expense.
Notes Payable and Credit Facilities
Following is a summary of principal debt payments and debt issuance for our
notes payable and credit facilities:

(1)As of November 30, 2020, we had $3.8 billion in available unused borrowing
capacity under our revolving credit facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility
under the Credit Facility acts as the back-up facility for commercial paper
outstanding, if any. We have a borrowing capacity of up to $1.8 billion under
our commercial paper program.
We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the potential
sale of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities in the future to
augment our liquidity and capital resources.
Our Senior Notes and our credit facilities contain various financial and
nonfinancial covenants. A violation of these covenants could negatively impact
our liquidity by restricting our ability to borrow under the notes payable and
credit facilities and potentially causing acceleration of amounts due under
these notes payable and credit facilities. As of November 30, 2020 and August
31, 2020, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. Refer to Note 4 -
"Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details.
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
We continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable, at a
discount, under our foreign asset-backed securitization program and our North
American asset-backed securitization program to special purpose entities, which
in turn sell certain of the receivables under the foreign program to an
unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated
financial institution and certain of the receivables under the North American
program to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a
monthly basis.
The foreign asset-backed securitization program contains a guarantee of payment
by the special purpose entity, in an amount approximately equal to the net cash
proceeds under the program. No liability has been recorded for obligations under
the guarantee as of November 30, 2020.
Certain unsold receivables covering the maximum amount of net cash proceeds
available under the North American asset-backed securitization program are
pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of November
30, 2020.
Following is a summary of our asset-backed securitization programs and key
terms:

(1)Maximum amount available at any one time.
In connection with our asset-backed securitization programs, during the three
months ended November 30, 2020, we sold accounts receivable of and received cash
proceeds of $1.2 billion. As of November 30, 2020, we had up to $6.3 million in
available liquidity under our asset-backed securitization programs.
Our asset-backed securitization programs contain various financial and
nonfinancial covenants. As of November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, we were in
compliance with all covenants under our asset-backed securitization programs.

these programs. As of November 30, 2020, we had up to $1.8 billion in available
liquidity under our trade accounts receivable sale programs.

approximately $800.0 million. In general, our capital expenditures support
ongoing maintenance in our DMS and EMS segments and investments in capabilities
and targeted end markets. The amount of actual capital expenditures may be
affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory
factors, among other things.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended November
30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses
and other liabilities, partially offset by increased accounts receivable,
inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to an
increase in material purchases and the timing of purchases and cash payments.
The increase in accounts receivable is primarily driven by higher sales and the
timing of collections. The increase in inventories is primarily to support
expected sales levels in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The increase in
prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily due to an increase in
forward contract assets driven by normal hedging activity.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended November 30,
2020 consisted primarily of capital expenditures principally to support ongoing
business in the DMS and EMS segments, partially offset by proceeds and advances
from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended November 30,
2020 was primarily due to (i) payments for debt agreements, (ii) the repurchase
of our common stock, (iii) treasury stock minimum tax withholding related to
vesting of restricted stock and (iv) dividend payments. Net cash used in
financing activities was partially offset by borrowings under debt agreements.
Contractual Obligations
During the three months ended November 30, 2020, we assumed $80.1 million in
additional contractual obligations related to new finance leases entered into
during the period that are due in fiscal year 2023. As of the date of this
report, there were no other material changes outside the ordinary course of
business since August 31, 2020 to our contractual obligations and commitments.




Dividends and Share Repurchases
We currently expect to continue to declare and pay regular quarterly dividends
of an amount similar to our past declarations. However, the declaration and
payment of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to
determination by our Board of Directors each quarter following its review of our
financial performance and global economic conditions.
In September 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
$600.0 million of our common stock as a part of a two-year capital allocation
framework (the "2020 Share Repurchase Program"). As of November 30, 2020, 7.5
million shares had been repurchased for $263.9 million and $336.1 million
remains available under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program.
