FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS October 23, 2014
SAFE HARBOR & FAIR DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 2 Any statements made during our call today and information included in the supporting material that is not historical in nature, such as statements in the future tense and statements that include "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," and similar terms and concepts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees since there are inherent difficulties in predicting future results, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. For a list of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed, please refer to the Company’s periodic SEC filings, particularly the risk factors in our Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013, and the Safe Harbor and Fair Disclosure statement in yesterday’s press release. Plexus provides non-GAAP supplemental information such as earnings or margin excluding special items, as well as ROIC and free cash flow. We present information excluding special items because it provides a better indication of core performance for purposes of period-to- period comparisons. ROIC and free cash flow are used for internal management assessments because they provide additional insight into financial performance. In addition, we provide non- GAAP measures because we believe they offer insight into the metrics that are driving management decisions as well as management’s performance under the tests that it sets for itself. For a full reconciliation of non-GAAP supplemental information please refer to yesterday’s press release and our periodic SEC filings.
