PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Flextronics International Ltd.
Singapore
 
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 26, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 20, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Organization of the Company
 
Flextronics International Ltd. ("Flextronics" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company's operations have expanded over the years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The Company is a globally-recognized leading provider of innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain services and solutions that span from sketch to scale; from conceptual sketch to full-scale production. The Company designs, builds, ships and services complete packaged consumer electronics and industrial products for original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), through its activities in the following business groups: High Reliability Solutions ("HRS"), which is comprised of our medical business including medical equipment, disposables, drug delivery, and diagnostics; our automotive business, including automotive electronics, automotive lighting, and power electronics; and our defense and aerospace businesses focused on defense, civil aviation, and homeland security; Consumer Technology Group ("CTG"), which includes our mobile devices business, including smart phones; our consumer electronics business, including connected living, wearable electronics, game consoles, and connectivity devices; and our high-volume computing business, including various supply chain solutions for notebook personal computing, tablets, and printers; Industrial and Emerging Industries ("IEI"), which is comprised of semiconductor and capital equipment, office solutions, test and measurement, household industrial and lifestyle, industrial automation and kiosks, energy and metering, and lighting; and Integrated Network Solutions ("INS"), which includes radio access base stations, remote radio heads, and small cells for wireless infrastructure; optical, routing, broadcasting and switching products for the data and video network; server and storage platforms for both enterprise and cloud based deployments; next generation storage and security appliance products; and rack level solutions, converged infrastructure and software defined product solutions. The Company's strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically integrated global supply chain solutions through which the Company can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. This enables our OEM customers to leverage the Company's supply chain solutions to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

        The Company's service offerings include a comprehensive range of value-added design and engineering services that are tailored to the various markets and needs of its customers. Other focused service offerings relate to manufacturing (including enclosures, metals, plastic injection molding, precision plastics, machining, and mechanicals), system integration and assembly and test services, materials procurement, inventory management, logistics and after-sales services (including product repair, warranty services, re-manufacturing and maintenance) and supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings (including rigid and flexible printed circuit boards and power adapters and chargers).
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.
 
The first quarters for fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2015 ended on June 26, 2015, and June 27, 2014, respectively.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of total shareholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The operating results of the subsidiary attributable to the noncontrolling interests are immaterial for all of the periods presented, and are included in other charges (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement


8

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which requires an entity to recognize revenue relating to contracts with customers that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. In order to meet this requirement, the entity must apply the following steps: (i) identify the contracts with the customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, disclosures required for revenue recognition will include qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by a year. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The goodwill generated from the Company’s business combinations completed during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 is primarily related to value placed on the acquired employee workforces, service offerings and capabilities of the acquired businesses and expected synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. See note 12 for additional information.

(2)
Includes adjustments based on management's estimates resulting from their review and finalization of the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition. These adjustments were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company.

The gross carrying amounts of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts have been fully amortized.  During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, the value of customer-related intangible assets increased in connection with the Company’s acquisitions, and licenses and other intangibles decreased primarily as a result of additional amortization.  The estimated future annual amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows:

Other Current Assets

Other current assets includes approximately $516.3 million and $600.7 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively for the deferred purchase price receivable from the Company's Global and North American Asset-Backed Securitization programs. See note 10 for additional information.

In connection with an acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with a customer and a third party banking institution to procure certain manufacturing equipment that was financed by the third party banking institution, acting as an agent of the customer.  The manufacturing equipment was used exclusively for the benefit of this customer.  The Company has the ability to settle the obligation related to these financed assets by returning the equipment to the customer and cannot be required to pay cash by either the customer or the third party banking institution. 

During fiscal year 2015, the Company ceased manufacturing of the product related to the financed equipment.  As a result, the Company as an agent on behalf of the customer is in the process of dispositioning the equipment and forwarding the proceeds to the third party banking institution reducing the outstanding obligation. Included in other current assets is the value of the certain assets purchased on behalf of a customer and financed by a third party banking institution in the amounts of $84.3 million and $169.2 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Additionally, other current assets as of June 26, 2015 include an amount of $87.1 million relating to these assets that have been sold to third parties but not yet collected.

During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, the Company disposed of all the assets and the remaining amount of $84.3 million reflects the shortfall between the original purchase price of these assets and the amount recovered by selling them to third parties. The Company expects this amount to be funded by the customer, which in turn would be paid back to the third party banking institution.

Other Current Liabilities

10


Other current liabilities include customer working capital advances of $172.7 million and $189.6 million, customer-related accruals of $443.1 million and $454.8 million, and deferred revenue of $301.1 million and $272.6 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The customer working capital advances are not interest bearing, do not have fixed repayment dates and are generally reduced as the underlying working capital is consumed in production. Other current liabilities also includes the outstanding balance due to the third party banking institution related to the financed equipment discussed above, that amounted to $172.5 million and $197.7 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.


3.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense:

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options is not significant. As of June 26, 2015, the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 7.9 million and 7.8 million, respectively, at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.66 and $4.65 per share, respectively.
 
During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, the Company granted 5.7 million unvested share bonus awards. Of this amount, approximately 4.8 million unvested share bonus awards have an average grant date price of $12.10 per share, under the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Further, approximately 0.7 million of these unvested shares represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions, and 0.2 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain executive officers whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain free cash flow targets. The number of shares contingent on market conditions that ultimately will vest range from zero up to a maximum of 1.4 million based on a measurement of the percentile rank of the Company’s total shareholder return over a certain specified period against the Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Composite Index and will cliff vest after a period of three years, if such market conditions have been met. The number of shares contingent on free cash flow targets that ultimately will vest range from zero up to a maximum of 0.4 million of the target payment based on a measurement of cumulative three-year increase of free cash flow from operations of the Company, and will cliff vest after a period of three years.
 
As of June 26, 2015, approximately 17.7 million unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 3.8 million is contingent primarily on meeting certain market conditions.  The number of shares that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to 7.6 million based on the achievement levels of the respective conditions. During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, 2.2 million shares vested in connection with the share bonus awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2013, and 0.5 million shares vested in connection with the share bonus awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2012.
 
As of June 26, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $146.5 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.03 years. Approximately $22.5 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.

The weighted average interest rates for the Company’s long-term debt were 3.5% and 3.2% as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively,


12

On June 8, 2015, the Company issued $600 million of 4.750% Notes ("Notes") due June 15, 2025 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act, at a discount of 99.213%. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $595.3 million from the issuance which will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company incurred approximately $7.9 million of costs in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes. The issuance costs were capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, commencing on December 15, 2015. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, rank equally with all of the Company's other existing and future senior and unsecured debt obligations, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally on an unsecured basis, by each of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under, or is a borrower under, the Company's Term Loan Agreement and Revolving Line of Credit.

At any time prior to March 15, 2025, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (as defined in the Notes indenture), the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable repurchase date.

The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries to create liens; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any funded debt; and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company's assets to, another person, or permit any other person to consolidate, merge, combine or amalgamate with or into the Company. These covenants are subject to a number of significant limitations and exceptions set forth in the indenture. The indenture also provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, cross defaults to certain specified other debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the agreement occurs or is continuing, the applicable trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. As of June 26, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the indenture governing the Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement under which it has agreed to consummate an offer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue new notes having terms substantially identical to the Notes (except that the new notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer) in exchange for outstanding Notes. In some circumstances, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resale of the Notes. If the Company fails to satisfy these obligations, the Company may be required to pay additional interest to holders of the Notes under certain circumstances.

Repayment of the Company’s long term debt outstanding as of June 26, 2015 is as follows:

During the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, the Company recognized interest expense of $20.1 million and $18.5 million, respectively, on its debt obligations outstanding during the period. 
 
During the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, the Company recognized interest income of $3.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. 
 
7.  OTHER CHARGES (INCOME), NET
 
During the three-month period ended June 27, 2014, an amendment to a customer contract to reimburse a customer for certain performance provisions was executed which included the removal of a $55.0 million contractual obligation recognized during fiscal year 2014.

Further, during the three-month period ended June 27, 2014, the Company recognized a loss of $11.0 million in connection with the disposition of a certain manufacturing facility in Western Europe. The Company received $11.5 million in cash for the sale of $27.2 million in net assets of the facility. The loss also includes $4.6 million of estimated transaction costs, partially offset by a credit of $9.3 million for the release of cumulative foreign translation gains triggered by the disposition.

As of June 26, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was not material and is included in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as hedges under the accounting standards. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings during the period of change as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company also has included net deferred losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, relating to the effective portion of changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These deferred losses totaled $3.1 million as of June 26, 2015, and are expected to be recognized

15

primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily over the next twelve-month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for all fiscal periods presented and are included as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 relating to derivative instruments and other includes $12.9 million attributable to the Company’s cash flow hedge instruments which were recognized as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
During the three-month period ended June 27, 2014, the Company recognized a loss of $11.0 million in connection with the disposition of a manufacturing facility in Western Europe. This loss includes the settlement of unrealized losses of $4.2 million on an insignificant defined benefit plan associated with the disposed facility offset by the release of cumulative foreign currency translation gains of $9.3 million, both of which have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the period. The loss on sale is included in other charges (income), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
Substantially all unrealized losses relating to derivative instruments and other, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended June 27, 2014, was recognized as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which primarily relate to the Company’s foreign currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges.
 
10.  TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
 
The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and under an accounts receivable factoring program.
 
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
 
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade receivables under its Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “Global Program”) and its North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “North American Program,” collectively, the “ABS Programs”) to affiliated special purpose entities, each of which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. These programs allow the operating subsidiaries to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. Following the transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entities, the transferred receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and upon the sale of the receivables from the special purpose entities to the unaffiliated financial institutions effective control of the transferred receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which has the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Although the special purpose entities are consolidated by the Company, they are separate corporate entities and their assets are available first to satisfy the claims of their creditors. The investment limits set by the financial institutions are $650.0 million for the Global Program and $225.0 million for the North American Program. Both programs require a minimum level of deferred purchase price receivable to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales.
 
The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entities and receives a servicing fee of 0.1% to 0.5% of serviced receivables per annum. Servicing fees recognized during the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 were not material and are included in interest and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets and liabilities are recognized.
 
As of June 26, 2015, approximately $1.4 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities under the ABS Programs for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of approximately $866.4 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $516.3 million. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $1.3 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $740.7 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $600.7 million. The portion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid by the unaffiliated financial institutions in cash is a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid to the special purpose entity as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors. The deferred purchase price receivable represents a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables. The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the deferred purchase price receivables received at time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were immaterial for all periods presented.
 
As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the accounts receivable balances that were sold under the ABS Programs were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net cash proceeds received by the Company were included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

17

 
For the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $1.1 billion for both periods, for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately $162.7 million and $42.5 million, respectively, represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers).
 
The following table summarizes the activity in the deferred purchase price receivables account:

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
 
The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $368.0 million and $485.6 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. For the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $0.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the cash received is reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
11.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees. Amounts deferred under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant’s investment manager. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets are for the most part included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and primarily include investments in equity securities that are valued using active market prices.
 
Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
 
The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of bank deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.
 

18

The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets also include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources. These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices. As a result, the Company has classified these investments as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company has accrued for certain contingent consideration in connection with its business acquisitions, which is measured at fair value based on internal cash flow models and other inputs. During the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, no additions to accrual, payments or fair value adjustments were incurred. As of June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, balances of contingent consideration were $4.5 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor. Due to its high credit quality and short term maturity the fair value approximates carrying value. Significant increases in either of the major unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, however the impact is not meaningful. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant. Refer to note 10 for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014.
 
There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014.

12. BUSINESS AND ASSETS ACQUISITIONS
 
During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, the Company completed three acquisitions that were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.  Two of the acquired businesses expanded the Company’s capabilities in the medical devices market, particularly precision plastics and molding within the HRS business group, and the other strengthened capabilities in the household industrial market within the IEI business group. The Company paid $15.3 million, net of $0.1 million of cash held by the acquirees. The Company primarily acquired $2.0 million of property and equipment, assumed liabilities of $0.6 million and recorded goodwill and intangibles of $18.9 million. The results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on the date of these acquisitions. Pro-forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial results for all periods presented.
 
The Company is in the process of evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to business combinations completed during the recent periods. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the respective measurement periods.

In the beginning of the Company's second quarter ending September 25, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Mirror Controls International (MCi) from private equity firm Egeria, and paid approximately $555.0 million, net of cash acquired, of which approximately $477.0 million was paid to acquire the entire outstanding share capital of MCi and approximately $78.0 million was to retire pre-existing debt. The financial results of MCi will be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as part of the HRS business group beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.

The Company also paid approximately $69.5 million in the beginning of the second quarter ending September 25, 2015, to acquire an optical transport plant from Alcatel-Lucent, which will be included in the INS business group.

13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation and other legal matters

On December 11, 2013, Xilinx, Inc. (plaintiff) filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County, California, Superior Court against Flextronics International Ltd.; Flextronics International USA, Inc.; and Flextronics Corporation (Case No. 113CV257431). The complaint asserted various claims, including fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and unfair competition, based on specific alleged incidents concerning our purchases and sales of Xilinx products. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory, statutory, punitive, and other forms of damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees and costs. The

21

plaintiff also seeks a jury trial. Although the outcome of this matter is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of this matter, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries received an assessment for certain sales and import taxes. The tax assessment notice is for nine months of calendar year 2010. This assessment is in the second stage of the review process at the administrative level, and the Company plans to continue to vigorously oppose it as well as any future assessments. The Company is, however, unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of these assessments against our Brazilian subsidiary. While the Company believes there is no legal basis for the alleged liabilities, due to the complexities and uncertainty surrounding the administrative-review and judicial processes in Brazil and the nature of the claims, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on these claims for several years.

During fiscal year 2015, one of the Company's non-operating Brazilian subsidiaries received an assessment of approximately $100 million related to income and social contribution taxes, interest and penalties. The Company believes there is no legal basis for the assessment and expects that any losses are remote. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself through the administrative and judicial processes.
 
In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
 
14.  SHARE REPURCHASES
 
During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 the Company repurchased 7.7 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $94.4 million, and retired all of these shares.
 
Under the Company’s current share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of its outstanding ordinary shares for up to $500 million in accordance with the share repurchase mandate approved by the Company’s shareholders at the date of the most recent Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 28, 2014. As of June 26, 2015, shares in the aggregate amount of $144.0 million were available to be repurchased under the current plan.

15.  SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has four reportable operating segments which are aligned to its four business groups: HRS, CTG, IEI, and INS. These segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics. Refer to note 1 for a description of the various product categories manufactured under each of these segments.

An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, other charges (income), net and interest and other, net.

Selected financial information by segment is as follows:

16.  SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Flextronics International Ltd. (“Parent”) has three tranches of Notes of $500 million, $500 million, and $600 million, respectively, each outstanding, which mature on February 15, 2020, February 15, 2023 and June 15, 2025, respectively. These Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). These subsidiary guarantees will terminate upon 1) a sale or other disposition of the guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the guarantor (other than to the Parent or a subsidiary); 2) such guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor or a borrower under the Company’s Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Line of Credit; 3) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in the Notes indenture; or 4) if at any time the Notes are rated investment grade.
 
In lieu of providing separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries, the Company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements, which are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries relate to investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, including transactions with the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW
 
We are a globally-recognized leading provider of innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain services and solutions that span from sketch to scale; from conceptual sketch to full-scale production. We design, build, ship, and service complete packaged consumer electronics and industrial products for original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), through our activities in the following business groups: High Reliability Solutions (“HRS”), which is comprised of our medical business including medical equipment, disposables, drug delivery, and diagnostics; our automotive business, including automotive electronics, automotive lighting, and power electronics; and our defense and aerospace businesses focused on defense, civil aviation, and homeland security; Consumer Technology Group (“CTG”), which includes our mobile devices business, including smart phones; our consumer electronics business, including connected living, wearable electronics, game consoles, and connectivity devices; and our high-volume computing business, including various supply chain solutions for notebook personal computing, tablets and printers; Industrial and Emerging Industries (“IEI”), which is comprised of semiconductor and capital equipment, office solutions, test and measurement, household industrial and lifestyle, industrial automation and kiosks, energy and metering, and lighting; and Integrated Network Solutions (“INS”), which includes radio access base stations, remote radio heads, and small cells for wireless infrastructure; optical, routing, broadcasting, and switching products for the data and video network; server and storage platforms for both enterprise and cloud based deployments; next generation storage and security appliance products and rack level solutions, converged infrastructure and software-defined product solutions.

On July 23, 2015, we introduced our new brand and website to help us more efficiently manage our business opportunities and explain our new product and service offerings. We are shortening our name from Flextronics to “Flex” to signify that our business continues to evolve past the boundaries and confines of electronics alone. Our new tag line, “Live Smarter” highlights our belief that all devices are becoming intelligent and that value will ultimately be created in the “intelligence of things” and the convergence of technologies and digitization of products across multiple industries and market segments.

Our strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically-integrated global supply chain solutions through which we can design, build, ship, and service a complete packaged product for our OEM customers. This enables our OEM customers to leverage our supply chain solutions to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

Over the past few years, we have seen an increased level of diversification by many companies, primarily in the technology sector. Some companies that have historically identified themselves as software providers, internet service providers or e-commerce retailers have entered the highly competitive and rapidly evolving technology hardware markets, such as mobile devices, home entertainment and wearable devices. This trend has resulted in a significant change in the manufacturing and supply chain solutions requirements of such companies. While the products have become more complex, the supply chain solutions required by such companies have become more customized and demanding, and it has changed the manufacturing and supply chain landscape significantly.
 

30

We use a portfolio approach to manage our extensive service offerings. As our OEM customers change the way they go to market, we are able to reorganize and rebalance our business portfolio in order to align with our customers' needs and requirements in an effort to optimize operating results. The objective of our business model is to allow us to be flexible and redeploy and reposition our assets and resources as necessary to meet a specific customer's supply chain solutions needs across all of the markets we serve and earn a return on our invested capital above the weighted average cost of that capital.
 
During the past few years we have made significant efforts to evolve our long-term portfolio towards a higher mix of businesses which possess longer product life cycles and higher margins such as reflected in our IEI and HRS businesses. During the last two fiscal years we launched several programs broadly across our portfolio of services and in some instances we deployed certain new technologies. Some of these programs have started to yield better results, as demonstrated by our margin improvement while our sales decreased compared to the prior year. We continue to invest in innovation and we have expanded our design and engineering relationships through our product innovation centers.

We believe that our business transformation has strategically positioned us to take advantage of the long-term, future growth prospects for outsourcing of advanced manufacturing capabilities, design and engineering services and after-market services, which remain strong.

We are one of the world's largest providers of global supply chain solutions, with revenues of $5.6 billion for the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 and $26.1 billion in fiscal year 2015. The following tables set forth the relative percentages and dollar amounts of net sales and net property and equipment, by country, based on the location of our manufacturing sites:

We believe that the combination of our extensive open innovation platform solutions, design and engineering services, advanced supply chain management solutions and services, significant scale and global presence, and industrial campuses in low-cost geographic areas provide us with a competitive advantage and strong differentiation in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing consumer electronics and industrial products for leading multinational and regional OEMs. Specifically, we have launched multiple product innovation centers ("PIC") focused exclusively on offering our customers the ability to simplify their global product development, manufacturing process, and after sales services, and enable them to meaningfully accelerate their time to market and cost savings.
 

31

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
 
•
changes in the macro-economic environment and related changes in consumer demand;

•
the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;

•
the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance;

•
our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers;

•
the effects on our business due to our customers’ products having short product life cycles;

•
our customers’ ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;

•
our customers’ decision to choose internal manufacturing instead of outsourcing for their product requirements;

•
our exposure to financially troubled customers;

•
integration of acquired businesses and facilities;

•
increased labor costs due to adverse labor conditions in the markets we operate; and

•
changes in tax legislation.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
 
Refer to the accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
    
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data expressed as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this document. In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net sales during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 totaled $5.6 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $1.0 billion, or 16% from $6.6 billion during the three-month period ended June 27, 2014. The decline in net sales was primarily due to $0.7 billion and $0.5 billion decreases in our CTG and INS business groups, respectively, predominantly due to softness in our mobile devices business as well as broad declines in our telecom, server and storage businesses. These decreases were offset by small increases in our HRS business group, attributable to higher sales to our medical customers. Net sales decreased $0.7 billion to $2.7 billion in Asia, $0.2 billion to $2.0 billion in the Americas and $0.2 billion to $0.9 billion in Europe, respectively.

Our ten largest customers during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 accounted for approximately 45% and 53% of net sales, respectively. Motorola Mobility (including net sales from its parent Lenovo) accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015. Motorola Mobility (including net sales from its former parent Google at that time) accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three-month period ended June 27, 2014.
 
Gross profit
 
Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to build a broad range of products in our facilities and better utilize our manufacturing capacity. In the cases of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin for these programs often improves over time as manufacturing volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improve, and as we increase the level of manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

33

 
Gross profit during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 decreased $28.4 million to $352.3 million, or 6.3% of net sales, from $380.8 million, or 5.7% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 27, 2014. Gross margins improved 60 basis points in the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 compared to that of the three-month period ended June 27, 2014 primarily as a result of increased sales from our higher margin HRS business group coupled with improved operational efficiencies, which was offset by a decrease in the gross margin of our IEI business group due to underperformance on certain program ramps during the quarter and heavier investments in segment resources.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) amounted to $209.4 million, or 3.8% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, remaining consistent from the three-month period ended June 27, 2014, which amounted to $209.3 million, or 3.2% of net sales. The slight increase in SG&A compared to the prior year is due to an increase of share-based compensation expense of $4.0 million, offset by $3.9 million of cost reductions as we continue to drive productivity and efficiency improvements.

We expect SG&A to increase in subsequent periods as we integrate new acquisitions.
 
Intangible amortization
 
Amortization of intangible assets increased by $0.7 million during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 to $7.7 million from $7.0 million for the three-month period ended June 27, 2014. The increase is primarily due to incremental amortization expense on intangible assets relating to our acquisitions completed during the latter part of fiscal year 2015. We expect intangible amortization to increase in subsequent periods due to previously announced acquisitions that have closed at the beginning of our second quarter ending September 25, 2015.

Interest and other, net
 
Interest and other, net was $16.5 million during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 compared to $18.6 million during the three-month period ended June 27, 2014. The decrease in interest and other, net of $2.1 million was primarily due to an increase of foreign currency gain in the current period of $3.6 million, offset by an increase of interest expense of $1.6 million primarily from the new 4.750% Notes due June 15, 2025 as further discussed in note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We expect interest and other, net to increase in subsequent periods for the interest expense on the 4.750% Notes.
 
Other charges (income), net

Other charges (income), net was $44.0 million of other income during the three-month period ended June 27, 2014 principally as a result of the reversal of a contractual obligation with a certain customer recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 in the amount of $55.0 million. This was partially offset by an $11.0 million loss in connection with the disposition of a manufacturing facility in Western Europe.
 
Income taxes
 
Certain of our subsidiaries have, at various times, been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. Refer to note 13, “Income Taxes” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 for further discussion.
 
Our policy is to provide a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that in our estimation are not more likely than not to be realized.
 
The consolidated effective tax rate was 6.5% and 8.4% for the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, respectively, and varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17.0% as a result of recognition of earnings in different jurisdictions, operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, liabilities for uncertain tax positions, as well as the effect of certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Malaysia and Israel. We generate most of our revenues and profits from operations outside of Singapore. The effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended June 26, 2015 is lower than the effective tax rate for the

34

three-month periods ended June 27, 2014 primarily due to a favorable audit settlement which resulted in the release of an accrual for uncertain tax positions.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
As of June 26, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.3 billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $2.7 billion, of which approximately $595.3 million relates to proceeds received from a debt offering during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015. In the beginning of our second quarter ending September 25, 2015, we paid approximately $555.0 million, net of cash acquired, related to the acquisition of MCi, of which approximately $477.0 million was paid to acquire the outstanding share capital and approximately $78.0 million was paid to retire the pre-existing debt. We also paid approximately $69.5 million in the beginning of the second quarter ending September 25, 2015, to acquire an optical transport plant from Alcatel-Lucent. We have a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that expires in March 2019, under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of the end of the quarter. As of June 26, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our existing credit facilities and indentures.
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $362.3 million during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015. This resulted primarily from $110.9 million of net income for the period plus adjustments for $110.1 million of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, and other impairment charges, and by $141.3 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. These changes were mainly related to a decrease in accounts receivable and inventory driven by the decline in sales activity, offset by a decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments to suppliers.
 
For the quarterly periods indicated, certain key liquidity metrics were as follows:

Days in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the current and prior quarters, adding back the reduction in accounts receivable resulting from non-cash accounts receivable sales, divided by annualized sales for the current quarter by day. During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, days in trade accounts receivable increased by 1 day compared to the three-month period ended June 27, 2014 largely due to timing of invoicing customers during the current period. Non-cash accounts receivable sales or deferred purchase price receivables included for the purposes of the calculation were $516.3 million, $600.7 million, and $463.1 million for the quarters ended June 26, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 27, 2014, respectively. Deferred purchase price receivables are recorded in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further information regarding deferred purchase price receivables see note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Days in inventory was calculated as the average inventory for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day. Days in inventory increased by 8 days compared to the three-month period ended June 27, 2014 primarily as a result of increased inventory driven from several programs launched in the latter part of fiscal year 2015 coupled with lower than expected sales activity in the current quarter.
 
Days in accounts payable was calculated as the average accounts payable for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day. Days in accounts payable increased by 9 days during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, compared to the three-month period ended June 27, 2014 primarily due to timing of payments, combined with lower cost of sales.
 
Our cash conversion cycle was calculated as the sum of days of inventory and days of accounts receivables outstanding less days payable outstanding. Our cash conversion cycle remained constant at 28 days for both periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014, respectively, due to the factors for each of the components in the calculation discussed above.
 

35

Cash used in investing activities amounted to $162.0 million during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015. This resulted primarily from $136.8 million of net capital expenditures for property and equipment to support certain programs. We also paid $18.6 million for the acquisition of three businesses completed during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015. Other investing activities includes $12.2 million of proceeds from the sale of certain assets that were purchased on behalf of a customer and financed by a third party banking institution.

We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. Our free cash flow is calculated as cash from operations less net purchases of property and equipment. Our free cash flows for the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 was $225.4 million compared to a use of $154.1 million for the three-month period ended June 27, 2014. Free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

Cash provided by financing activities was $506.4 million during the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, which was primarily for net proceeds from bank borrowings and long-term debt of $595.5 million mainly resulting from our new debt issuance discussed further in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and $44.6 million from the issuance of our shares for option exercises. These cash inflows were partially offset by cash paid for the repurchase of our ordinary shares in the amount of $100.0 million.
 
Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances; however, any current restrictions are not material. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months. As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, over half of our cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries outside of Singapore. Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated, under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income tax withholdings. We provide for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately $800.0 million as of March 31, 2015). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment, however, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of Singapore and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations in jurisdictions outside of where they are held. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.
 
Future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders, and our targeted business and asset acquisitions.
 
Historically, we have funded operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings. We also sell a designated pool of trade receivables under asset-backed securitization programs and sell certain trade receivables, which are in addition to the trade receivables sold in connection with these securitization agreements.
 

36

We anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and growth. The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations and could increase debt service obligations. This increased indebtedness could limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit ratings, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy. Any downgrades in credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to borrow as a result of more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares.
 
Under our current share repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorized repurchases of our outstanding ordinary shares for up to $500 million in accordance with the share purchase mandate approved by our shareholders at the date of the most recent Extraordinary General Meeting which was held on August 28, 2014. During the three-month period ended June 26, 2015, we paid $100.0 million to repurchase shares (under the current repurchase plan) at an average price of $12.25 per share. As of June 26, 2015, shares in the aggregate amount of $144.0 million were available to be repurchased under the current plan.
 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
 
Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments, capital lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since March 31, 2015.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
We sell designated pools of trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under our ABS programs, and in addition to cash, we receive a deferred purchase price receivable for each pool of the receivables sold. Each of these deferred purchase price receivables serves as additional credit support to the financial institutions and is recorded at its estimated fair value. As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the fair values of our deferred purchase price receivable were approximately $516.3 million and $600.7 million, respectively. As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the outstanding balances on receivables sold for cash were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, under all our accounts receivable sales programs, which are not included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further information see note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks for changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates for the three-month period ended June 26, 2015 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 26, 2015, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 26, 2015 such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our first quarter of fiscal year 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
