NOTE 1 |
Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The accompanying financial data as of May 31, 2005 and for
the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 and 2004 has
been prepared by Solectron, without audit, pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations. The August 31, 2004 condensed consolidated
balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. However, Solectron
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in Solectrons Annual Report on Form 10-K/A
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair
condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of
May 31, 2005, the results of operations, comprehensive
income (loss) and cash flows for the three and nine months ended
May 31, 2005 and 2004 have been made. The consolidated
results of operations for the three and nine months ended
May 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Solectrons third quarters of fiscal 2005 and 2004 ended on
May 27, 2005 and May 28, 2004, respectively.
Solectrons fiscal year ended on August 27, 2004. For
clarity of presentation, Solectron has indicated its third
quarters as having ended on May 31 and its fiscal year as
having ended on August 31.
Selling, general and administrative expense includes
$8.6 million and $23.8 million of research and
development expenses for the three and nine months ended
May 31, 2005, respectively, and $6.2 million and
$17.8 million for the three and nine months ended
May 31, 2004, respectively.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue
No. 04-8, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt
on Diluted Earnings per Share. EITF 04-8 requires
that all issued securities that have embedded conversion
features that are contingently exercisable upon the occurrence
of a market-price condition should be in the calculation of
diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether the market
price trigger has been met. Solectron adopted EITF 04-8 on
February 25, 2005. The adoption of EITF 04-8 did not
have a material impact on Solectrons calculation of
diluted EPS.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory
Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.
SFAS 151, amends ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, to
clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be
recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS 151
requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the
cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. The provision of SFAS 151 shall be
effective for Solectron
7
SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
beginning on September 1, 2005. Solectron does not believe
this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share Based Payment: An Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 123 and 95. This statement requires that the cost
resulting from all share-based payment transactions be
recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In March
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,
Share-Based Payment, (SAB No. 107).
SAB No. 107 provides the SECs staffs
position regarding the application of SFAS No. 123R
and certain SEC rules and regulations, and also provides the
staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies. These statements are
effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting
period that begins after June 15, 2005. Solectron is
currently evaluating the impact of these statements on its
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-2
(FSP 109-2), Accounting and Disclosure
Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within
the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA).
FSP 109-2 allows Solectron until August 26, 2005 to
evaluate the effect of the AJCA on our plan for reinvestment or
repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying
SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes.
Management has evaluated the effects of the repatriation
provisions and determined that the Company will not elect to
repatriate qualified earnings under these provisions, but will
continue with its policy of indefinite reinvestments of foreign
earnings.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47 as an interpretation
of FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations (FASB No. 143). This
interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset
retirement obligation as used in FASB No. 143, refers to a
legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in
which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on
a future event that may or may not be within the control of the
entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity
is unconditional even through uncertainly exists about the
timing and/or method of settlement. Accordingly, an entity is
required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a
conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the
liability can be reasonably estimated. This interpretation also
clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to
reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement
obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of the adoption of FIN 47.
On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of
APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The
Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle. The Company will
adopt FAS 154 at September 1, 2005 and does not
anticipate any material change to its operating results.

NOTE 2 |
Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements |
As described in Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/ A (the
2004 10-K/ A) to Solectrons Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2004,
Solectron has restated its consolidated financial statements for
the years 2002 through 2004 (the Restatement). This
Note should be read in conjunction with Note 2,
Restatement of Financial Statements in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the
2004 10-K/ A, filed on April 14, 2005 and which provides
further information on the nature and impact of the Restatement.
Certain amounts in the notes to the condensed consolidated
financial statements within this Form 10-Q have been
restated to reflect the Restatement adjustments. In the
Restatement, we have corrected errors primarily related to
unreconciled differences in intercompany balances, foreign
currency translations, accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
fixed assets, other assets, deferred tax assets, deferred tax
liabilities, interest

SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
expense, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets. In addition,
there have been reclassifications of certain balance sheet
accounts.
The Restatement increased Solectrons net loss from
continuing operations before income taxes for the nine months
ended May 31, 2004 by $15.9 million. There was no
impact to the net loss from continuing operations before income
taxes for the three months ended May 2004. Additionally, the
Restatement increased Solectrons net income for the three
months ended May 31, 2004 by $0.1 million and
increased its net loss for the nine months ended May 31,
2004 by $13.6 million.

NOTE 3 |
Stock-Based Compensation |
As it is permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, amended by
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure,
Solectron accounts for its employee stock plans, which generally
consist of fixed stock option plans and an employee stock
purchase plan, using the intrinsic value method under APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations. In general, where
the exercise price of options granted under these plans is equal
to the market price of the underlying common stock on the grant
date, no stock-based employee compensation expense is
recognized. In certain situations, under these plans, options to
purchase shares of common stock may be granted at less than fair
market value, which results in compensation expense equal to the
difference between the market value on the date of grant and the
purchase price. This expense is recognized over the vesting
period of the options and included in operations. The table
below sets out the pro forma amounts of net income (loss) and
net income (loss) per share that would have resulted for all
fiscal periods presented, if Solectron accounted for its
employee stock plans under the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123.

During fiscal 2003, Solectron provided restricted stock awards
to certain eligible executives. These restricted shares are not
transferable until fully vested and are subject to the Company
Repurchase Option for all unvested shares upon certain early
termination events and also subject to accelerated vesting in
certain other circumstances. During the three and nine months
ended May 31, 2005, compensation expense related to the
restricted stock awards amounted to approximately
$0.1 million and $1.1 million for each period,
respectively. Compensation expense related to the restricted
stock awards for the corresponding periods in fiscal 2004 were
$0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
During fiscal 2004 and the first and second quarter of fiscal
2005, Solectron issued stock options to certain executives at a
price below the market value on the day of the stock option
grant. Compensation expense resulting from the difference
between the market value on the date of the discounted stock
option grant and the purchase price is being amortized over the
vesting period. The compensation expense associated with all
discounted stock options issued by Solectron is not significant.
On February 22, 2005, Solectrons Executive
Compensation and Management Resources Committee approved
accelerating the vesting of all outstanding
out-of-the-money, unvested stock options, except for
options held by independent, non-employee directors. An option
was considered out-of-the-money if the stated option
price was greater than the closing price, $4.91, of
Solectrons common stock on February 18, 2005, which
was the last trading day before the Executive Compensation and
Management Resources Committee approved the acceleration. The
accelerated vesting was effective as of February 22, 2005.
The decision to accelerate vesting of those options was made
primarily to avoid recognizing compensation cost with respect to
those options in Solectrons consolidated statement of
operations in future financial statements upon the effectiveness
of SFAS 123R. The future compensation expense that will be
avoided, based on Solectrons implementation date for
SFAS 123R of September 1, 2005, is approximately
$11 million, $10 million, and $5 million in
fiscal 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 7 |
Commitments and Contingencies |
Solectron has synthetic lease agreements relating to four
manufacturing sites in continuing operations. The synthetic
leases have expiration dates in August 2007. At the end of the
lease terms, Solectron has an option, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase or to cause a third party to purchase
the facilities subject to the synthetic leases for the
Termination Value, which approximates the
lessors original cost for each facility, or may market the
property to a third party at a different price. Solectron is
entitled to any proceeds from a sale of the properties to third
parties in excess of the Termination Value and is liable to the
lessor for any shortfall not to exceed 85% of the Termination
Value. Solectron has provided loans to the lessor equaling
approximately 85% of the Termination Value for each synthetic
lease. These loans are repayable solely from the sale of the
properties to third parties in the future, are subordinated to
the amounts payable to the lessor at the end of the synthetic
leases, and may be credited against the Termination Values
payable if Solectron purchases the properties. The approximate
aggregate Termination Values and loan amounts were
$101.3 million and $86.1 million, respectively, as of
May 31, 2005.
11
SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
In addition, cash collateral of $15.2 million is pledged
for the difference between the aggregate Termination Values and
the loan amounts. Each lease agreement contains various
affirmative covenants. A default under a lease, including
violation of these covenants, may accelerate the termination
date of the arrangement. Solectron was in compliance with all
applicable covenants as of May 31, 2005. Monthly lease
payments are generally based on the Termination Value and 30-day
LIBOR index (3.08% as of May 31, 2005) plus an
interest-rate margin, which may vary depending upon
Solectrons Moodys Investors Services and
Standard and Poors ratings and are allocated between the
lessor and Solectron based on the proportion of the loan amount
to the Termination Value for each synthetic lease.
During fiscal 2004, Solectron determined that it is probable
that the expected fair value of the properties under the
synthetic lease agreements will be less than the Termination
Value at the end of the lease terms by approximately
$14.9 million. The $14.9 million is being accreted
over the remaining lease terms. The accretion expense for the
current quarter was approximately $1.1 million.
Solectron accounts for these synthetic lease arrangements as
operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13,
Accounting for Leases, as amended. Solectrons
loans to the lessor and cash collateral were included in other
long-term assets and restricted cash and restricted cash
equivalents, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance
sheets.

Solectron is from time to time involved in various litigation
and legal matters, including those described below. By
describing the particular matter set forth below, Solectron does
not intend to imply that it or its legal advisors have concluded
or believe that the outcome of this particular matter is or is
not likely to have a material adverse impact upon
Solectrons business or consolidated financial condition
and results of operations.
Solectron has settled the previously reported shareholder
derivative lawsuit entitled Lifshitz v. Cannon
et al., Case No. CV815693, filed in the
Santa Clara County, California Superior Court, on terms not
considered to be material to Solectron. Court approval of the
settlement terms was obtained on December 16, 2004.
On March 6, 2003, a putative shareholder class action
lawsuit was filed against Solectron and certain of its officers
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California alleging claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder. The case is entitled Abrams v. Solectron
Corporation et al., Case No. C-03-0986 CRB. The
complaint alleged that the defendants issued false and
misleading statements in certain press releases and SEC filings
issued between September 17, 2001 and September 26,
2002. In particular, plaintiff alleged that the defendants
failed to disclose and to properly account for excess and
obsolete inventory in Solectrons former Technology
Solutions business unit during the relevant time period.
Additional complaints making similar allegations were
subsequently filed in the same court, and pursuant to an order
entered June 2, 2003, the Court appointed lead counsel and
plaintiffs to represent the putative class in a single
consolidated action. The Consolidated Amended Complaint, filed
September 8, 2003, alleges an
12
SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
expanded class period of June 18, 2001 through
September 26, 2002, and purports to add a claim for
violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), on behalf of a
putative class of former shareholders of C-MAC Industries, Inc.,
who acquired Solectron stock pursuant to the October 19,
2001 Registration Statement filed in connection with
Solectrons acquisition of C-MAC Industries, Inc. In
addition, while the initial complaints focused on alleged
inventory issues at the former Technology Solutions business
unit, the Consolidated Amended Complaint adds allegations of
inadequate disclosure and failure to properly account for excess
and obsolete inventory at Solectrons other business units.
The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages on behalf
of the putative class. Solectron believes it has valid defenses
to the plaintiffs claims. There can be no assurance,
however, that the outcome of the lawsuit will be favorable to
Solectron or will not have a material adverse effect on
Solectrons business, consolidated financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, Solectron may be forced to
incur substantial litigation expenses in defending this
litigation.

Segment Information and Geographic Information |
SFAS No. 131 Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information established standards
for reporting information about operating segments in annual
consolidated financial statements and requires selected
information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic
areas and major customers. Operating segments are defined as
components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Solectrons chief operating decision maker is the Chief
Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer evaluates
financial information on a company-wide basis for purposes of
making decisions and assessing financial performance.
Accordingly, Solectron has one operating segment.
Geographic information for continuing operations as of and for
the periods presented is as follows (in millions):

Solectron has concentrations of credit risk due to sales to the
customers listed above as well as to Solectrons other
significant customers. In particular, Nortel Networks accounted
for approximately 12.8% of total accounts receivable related to
continuing operations as of May 31, 2005.
On February 6, 2002, Solectron issued an aggregate
principal amount of $500 million of 9.625% senior
notes due 2009. Solectron is required to pay interest on the
notes in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year.
In May 2005, Solectron completed the redemption of all of the
$500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of
these notes at the make-whole-premium price calculated in
accordance with the terms in the indenture. Solectron redeemed
these notes at 108.94549 percent of face value or
$544.7 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Solectron
recognized a loss on the early retirement of debt of
approximately $52.3 million. The loss was recorded in other
expense net in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations. Solectron funded the redemption with existing
cash balances.
|
|
|
0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 |
On February 17, 2004, Solectron issued $450 million of
convertible senior notes, to qualified buyers in reliance on
Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The notes are unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of Solectron and will mature on
February 15, 2034.
On February 10, 2005, Solectron completed an exchange offer
with respect to its outstanding 0.5% convertible senior
notes due 2034 (the Original Notes) for an equal
amount of its newly issued 0.5% convertible senior notes,
Series B due 2034 (the New Notes) and cash.
Solectron accepted for exchange $447.3 million aggregate
principal amount of outstanding notes, representing
approximately 99.4% of the total outstanding notes. Upon
conversion of the New Notes, Solectron will deliver $1,000 in
cash for the principal amount, and at its election, either
common stock or cash, for the conversion value above the
principal amount. Holders electing to convert upon a change of
control, prior to February 15, 2011, unless the
consideration consists of at least 90% in the form of listed
shares (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash
payments made pursuant to dissenters appraisal rights),
shall be eligible for an increase in the conversion rate in
accordance to the terms of the New Notes.
On or after February 20, 2011, Solectron will have the
option to redeem all or a portion of the convertible notes that
have not been previously purchased, repurchased or converted, at
100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages
owed, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of the purchase.
Holders of the convertible notes may require Solectron to
purchase all or a portion of the convertible notes for cash on
each of February 15, 2011, 2014, 2019, 2024, and 2029 at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible
notes to be repurchased plus accrued and
14
SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
unpaid interest, up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
Holders will have the option, subject to certain conditions, to
require Solectron to repurchase any convertible notes held by
such holder in the event of a change in control, as
defined, at a price of 100% of the principal amount of the
convertible notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but
excluding, the date of repurchase. The convertible notes are
convertible into shares of common stock of Solectron at any time
prior to maturity, subject to the terms of the notes.
After the exchange offer was complete, there were approximately
$2.7 million aggregate principal amount of Original Notes
outstanding. Interest on both the Original Notes and the New
Notes (together, the convertible notes) will be paid
on February 15 and on August 15 of each year. The conversion
rate for the convertible notes is 103.4468 per $1,000
principal amount. As of May 31, 2005, the aggregate
carrying amount of the convertible notes was
$450.0 million, classified as long-term debt.
In February 1996, Solectron issued $150 million aggregate
principal amount of unsubordinated notes. These notes are in
denominations and have a maturity value of $1,000 each and are
due on March 1, 2006. Interest is payable semiannually at a
rate of 7.375% per annum. The notes may not be redeemed
prior to maturity. As of May 31, 2005, the carrying amount
of the notes of $150.0 million was classified as short-term
debt.
|
|
|
Adjustable Conversion-Rate Equity Securities (ACES) |
On August 31, 2004, there were 2.6 million ACES units
remaining. Each ACES unit has a stated amount of $25.00 and
consisted of (a) a contract requiring the holder to
purchase, for $25.00, a number of shares of Solectron common
stock (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments); and
(b) a $25 principal amount of 7.97% subordinated
debenture due 2006.
On November 15, 2004, Solectron issued 6.6 million
shares of its common stock at a settlement rate of
2.5484 shares per ACES unit as defined above. Solectron
received cash proceeds of $64.3 million which resulted in a
corresponding increase in additional paid in capital. The equity
component of the ACES has been settled. Accordingly, the
remaining obligation of the original ACES is the
7.97% debentures.
As of May 31, 2005, there was $63.4 million
outstanding of the 7.97% subordinated debentures due
November 2006 which were classified as long-term debt.

|
|
Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) |
On May 31, 2005, Solectron has $8.8 million aggregate
accreted value of LYONs outstanding with an interest rate of
2.75%. These notes are unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness
of Solectron. Solectron will pay no interest prior to maturity.
Each note has a yield of 2.75% with a maturity value of $1,000
on May 8, 2020. Each note is convertible at any time by the
holder to common shares at a conversion rate of
12.3309 shares per note. Holders will be able to require
Solectron to purchase all or a portion of their notes on
May 8, 2010, at a price of $761.00 per note.
Solectron, at its option, may redeem all or a portion of the
notes at any time on or after May 8, 2003. As of
May 31, 2005, the accreted value of the 2.75% LYONs is
classified as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated
balance sheet.

Derivative Instruments |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The fair value of Solectrons cash, cash equivalents,

of credit approximates the carrying amount due to the relatively
short maturity of these items.

Solectron enters into foreign exchange forward contracts
intended to reduce the short-term impact of foreign currency
fluctuations on foreign currency receivables, investments,
payables and indebtedness. The gains and losses on the foreign
exchange forward contracts are intended largely to offset the
transaction gains and losses on the foreign currency
receivables, investments, payables, and indebtedness recognized
in operating results. Solectron does not enter into foreign
exchange forward contracts for speculative purposes.
Solectrons foreign exchange forward contracts related to
current assets and liabilities are generally three months or
less in original maturity.
As of May 31, 2005, Solectron had outstanding foreign
exchange forward contracts with a total notional amount of
approximately $529.3 million related to continuing
operations.
During the three months ended May 31, 2005, Solectron
terminated its interest rate swap arrangement with a payment of
$8.2 million. As a result, Solectron recorded a gain of
approximately $6.6 million in other expense net
in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The
interest rate swap was no longer necessary due to the redemption
of the 9.625% senior notes during the quarter.
For all derivative transactions, Solectron is exposed to
counterparty credit risk to the extent that the counterparties
may not be able to meet their obligations towards Solectron. To
manage the counterparty risk, Solectron limits its derivative
transactions to those with major financial institutions.
Solectron does not expect to experience any material adverse
financial consequences as a result of default by
Solectrons counterparties.
Financial instruments that potentially subject Solectron to
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents
and trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk in
accounts receivable resulting from sales to major customers are
discussed in Note 8, Segment Information and
Geographic Information. Solectron generally does not
require collateral for sales on credit. However, for customers
that have limited financial resources, Solectron may require
coverage for this risk including standby letters of credit,
prepayments and consignment of inventories. Solectron also
monitors extensions of credit and the financial condition of its
major customers.

NOTE 11 |
Intangible Assets |
Solectrons intangible assets, which are classified in
other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are
categorized into three main classes: supply agreements,
intellectual property agreements and other. The intellectual
property agreements resulted from Solectrons acquisitions
of various IBM facilities. The other intangible assets consist
of miscellaneous acquisition related intangibles from
Solectrons various asset purchases.

During fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005,
Solectron completed the sale of all of its discontinued
operations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2005,
Solectron decreased the net loss on disposal of those
discontinued operations by approximately $3.6 million
($2.6 million was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal
2005) resulting from a few insignificant adjustments pursuant to
the terms of the disposal transactions. The adjustments to the
net loss on these discontinued operations are recorded in
operating (income) expenses net.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, Solectron sold a
building that was subject to a synthetic lease agreement. The
synthetic lease agreement was associated with a discontinued
operation that has been sold. As a result of the transaction,
Solectron recorded a gain of approximately $0.9 million in
operating (income) expenses net as disclosed above
in the nine month period ended May 31, 2005 results.

SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, Solectron completed the
sale of its MicroTechnology division, for cash proceeds of
$30.0 million resulting in a $10.1 million pre-tax
gain which is included in operating (income)
expenses net for the quarter ended November 30,
2004 as disclosed above. As a result of this disposition,
Solectron transferred approximately $28.3 million from
accumulated foreign currency translation gains, included in
accumulated other comprehensive losses within Stockholders
Equity and recognized that amount as part of the pre-tax gain.
The sales agreement for this divestiture provides for a possible
adjustment to the proceeds and gain based upon final settlement
of each divestitures working capital at closing.
Resolution of this possible working capital adjustment and other
reconciling items pursuant to the sales agreement, if any, are
expected to be concluded by the end of the first quarter of
fiscal 2006.
The sales agreements for all seven divestitures contain certain
indemnification provisions under which Solectron may be required
to indemnify the buyer of the divested business for liabilities,
losses, or expenses arising out of breaches of covenants and
certain breaches of representations and warranties relating to
the condition of the business prior to and at the time of sale.
In aggregate, Solectron is contingently liable for up to
$94.8 million for a period of 12 to 24 months
subsequent to the completion of the sale. As of May 31,
2005, there were no significant liabilities recorded under these
indemnification obligations. Additionally, Solectron may be
required to indemnify a buyer for environmental remediation
costs for a period up to 10 years and not to exceed
$13 million. Solectron maintains an insurance policy to
cover environmental remediation liabilities in excess of
reserves previously established upon the acquisition of these
properties. Solectron did not record any environmental charges
upon disposition of these properties.
The current and non-current assets and liabilities of
discontinued operations as of May 31, 2005 and
August 31, 2004, were as follows (in millions):

NOTE 13 |
Restructuring and Impairment |
Over the past few years, Solectron has recorded restructuring
and impairment costs as it rationalized operations in light of
customer demand declines and the economic downturn. The
measures, which included reducing the workforce, consolidating
facilities and changing the strategic focus of a number of
sites, was largely intended to align Solectrons capacity
and infrastructure to anticipated customer demand and transition
our operations to lower cost regions. The restructuring and
impairment costs include employee severance and benefit costs,
costs related to leased facilities abandoned and subleased,
impairment of owned facilities no longer used by Solectron which
will be disposed, costs related to leased equipment that has
been abandoned, and impairment of owned equipment that will be
disposed. For owned facilities and equipment, the impairment
loss recognized was based on the fair value less costs to sell,
with fair value estimated based on
18
SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
existing market prices for similar assets. Severance and benefit
costs and other costs associated with restructuring activities
initiated prior to January 1, 2003 were recorded in
compliance with EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other
Costs to Exit an Activity. Severance and benefit costs
associated with restructuring activities initiated on or after
January 1, 2003 are recorded in accordance with
SFAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits, as Solectron concluded that it
had a substantive severance plan. In accordance with
SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities, the estimated lease loss
accrued for leased facilities abandoned and subleased after
December 31, 2002 represents the fair value of the lease
liability as measured by the present value of future lease
payments subsequent to abandonment less the present value of any
estimated sublease income. For those facilities abandoned and
subleased before January 1, 2003, as part of restructuring
activities under EITF Issue No. 94-3, the estimated lease
loss represents payments subsequent to abandonment less any
estimated sublease income. In order to estimate future sublease
income, Solectron works with a real estate broker to estimate
the length of time until it can sublease a facility and the
amount of rent it can expect to receive. Estimates of expected
sublease income could change based on factors that affect
Solectrons ability to sublease those facilities such as
general economic conditions and the real estate market, among
others.
|
|
|
Three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 and
2004 |
During the three months ended May 31, 2005, Solectron
approved and announced a plan to consolidate facilities, reduce
the workforce in Europe and North America and impair certain
long-lived assets that would result in new restructuring charges
of $100-$115 million. Solectron has since revised this
estimate to $80-$95 million due to lower estimated
severance charges resulting from employee turnover and new
business opportunities. Solectron estimates it will make
approximately $70-$85 million in cash payments over the
next 12 months in connection with the restructuring plan.
Through May 31, 2005, Solectron recorded approximately
$47.4 million of restructuring expense, primarily severance
costs, related to the new plan.
In addition, during the three months ended May 31, 2005,
Solectron recorded a net credit in restructuring of
approximately $6.9 million comprised of provision
adjustments of $9.6 million less impairment charges of
$2.7 million. The provision adjustment is primarily a
result of revisions to previous estimates for severance costs
for restructuring plans that commenced in fiscal 2004. The
estimates were reduced due to employee turnover and the decision
to continue to operate a site that was previously identified to
be closed. The impairment charge of $2.7 million is related
to two facilities currently held for sale. Solectron continues
to revise impairment calculations, severance payouts and lease
costs for vacated facilities related to previous restructuring
plans. Solectron anticipates to continue to incur charges and/or
credits related to previous restructuring actions until the last
lease expires in 2012.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2005, Solectron also
incurred $39.6 million in impairment charges related to a
sale agreement of a facility in Japan. The sale closed on
May 31, 2005. As a result of the sale, Solectron
transferred approximately $12.3 million from accumulated
foreign currency translation losses included in other
comprehensive losses within Stockholders Equity and
recognized that amount as part of the impairment charge. The
remaining $27.3 million impairment charge was recorded
against property and equipment, net.
Under all restructuring activities mentioned above, facilities
and equipment subject to restructuring were primarily located in
the Americas and Europe. For leased facilities that will be
abandoned and subleased, the lease costs represent the present
value of future lease payments subsequent to abandonment less
estimated sublease income. For owned facilities and equipment,
the impairment loss recognized was based on the fair value less
costs to sell, with fair value based on estimates of existing
market prices for similar assets.
The other exit costs mainly represent program transfer activity
between global operation sites, which are recorded as the
charges are incurred.

restructuring charges recorded in the third quarter of fiscal
2005 related to approximately 2,500 full-time positions in
the Americas and Europe, of which, approximately 1,000 have been

During fiscal 2004, Solectron recorded restructuring and
impairment charges (excluding intangible asset impairment
charges) of $130.4 million related to continuing operations.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, Solectron committed to a
plan to incur approximately $20.0 million in new
restructuring charges. At the end of fiscal 2004, Solectron
recorded approximately $19.0 million of restructuring
charges related to this plan. These restructuring actions are to
further consolidate facilities, reduce the workforce in Europe
and North America and impair certain long-lived assets. These
new restructuring actions will result in future savings in
salaries and benefits and depreciation expense, and will result
in cash expenditures of approximately $14.4 million.
Solectron expects to complete this new plan by the end of fiscal
2005.
The employee severance and benefit costs included in the 2004
restructuring charges previous to the above-mentioned plan
relate to the elimination of approximately 2,100 full-time
positions worldwide and all such positions have been eliminated
under this plan. The positions eliminated were primarily in the
Americas and European regions.

SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial

Under both restructuring activities mentioned above, facilities
and equipment subject to restructuring were primarily located in
the Americas and Europe. For leased facilities that will be
abandoned and subleased, the lease costs represent the present
value of future lease payments subsequent to abandonment less
estimated sublease income. For owned facilities and equipment,
the impairment loss recognized was based on the fair value less
costs to sell, with fair value based on estimates of existing
market prices for similar assets.
The other exit costs mainly represent program transfer activity
between global operation sites, which are recorded as the
charges are incurred.
The employee severance and benefit costs included in the
restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 2003 relate to the
elimination of approximately 9,500 full-time positions
worldwide and all such positions have now been eliminated under
this plan. Approximately 57% of the positions eliminated were in
the Americas region, 31% were in Europe and 12% were in Asia/
Pacific. Facilities and equipment subject to restructuring were
primarily located in the Americas and Europe.
For leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased, the
lease costs represent future lease payments subsequent to
abandonment less estimated sublease income. For owned facilities
and equipment, the impairment loss recognized was based on the
fair value less costs to sell, with fair value based on
estimates of existing market prices for similar assets.
The other exit costs mainly represent program transfer activity

Accruals related to restructuring activities were recorded in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Solectron expects to
pay approximately $64 million in the next year related to
severance and benefits, lease commitment costs and other exit

NOTE 14 |
Loss Per Share Calculation |
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The computation of diluted earnings per share calculates the
effect of dilutive securities on weighted average shares.
Dilutive securities would include options to purchase common
stock and shares issuable upon conversion of Solectrons
LYONs and ACES. If certain conversion events occur, dilutive
securities would also include shares issuable upon conversion of
Solectrons 0.5% convertible senior notes.
Loss per share data for continuing operations were computed as
follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is
more likely than not that all or a portion of
deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all
available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered,
including the companys performance, the market environment
in which the company operates, the utilization of past tax
credits, length of carryback and carryforward periods, and
existing contracts or sales backlog that will result in future
profits, among other factors. It further states that forming a
conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult
when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in
recent years in the jurisdictions to which the deferred
22
SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
tax assets relate. Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in
the overall assessment. As a result of the review undertaken
after the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003, Solectron
concluded that it was appropriate to establish a full valuation
allowance for most of the net deferred tax assets arising from
its operations in the jurisdictions to which the deferred tax
assets relate. The total valuation allowance is approximately
$1.6 billion as of May 31, 2005. In addition,
Solectron expects to continue to provide a full valuation
allowance on future tax benefits until it can demonstrate a
sustained level of profitability that establishes its ability to
utilize the assets in the jurisdictions to which the assets
relate. Solectron incurs tax expense in certain countries which
are not subject to the aforementioned valuation allowance during
the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005.
Certain of Solectrons non-US operations are reporting
taxable profits, mostly arising in offshore operations in
low-cost locations. Accordingly, Solectron anticipates some tax
expense in future quarters related to those operations.
Solectron will not be able to offset this tax expense with
unrecognized deferred tax assets described above, because, for
the most part, those assets did not arise in the jurisdictions
where Solectron is realizing taxable profits.
In addition, Solectron has established contingency reserves for
income taxes in various jurisdictions in accordance with
SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies.
The estimate of appropriate tax reserves is based upon the
probable amount of prior tax benefit that is at risk upon audit
and upon the reasonable estimate of the amount at risk.
Solectron periodically reassess the amount of such reserves and
adjust reserve balances as necessary.
For the quarter ended May 31, 2005, Solectron had a benefit
to the tax provision of $7 million, which had been
previously established for a potential shortfall in spending
commitments related to a tax holiday of a foreign subsidiary.
During the quarter, a study was completed verifying that the
spending commitments had been met.
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act
(the AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA includes a
deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. The Company may elect to
apply this provision to qualifying earnings repatriations in
either the balance of fiscal 2005 or in fiscal 2006. Management
has evaluated the effects of the repatriation provisions and
determined that the Company will not elect to repatriate
qualified earnings under these provisions, but will continue
with its policy of indefinite reinvestments of foreign earnings.

Overview
We provide a range of worldwide manufacturing and integrated
supply chain services to companies who design and market
electronic products. Our revenue is generated from sales of our
services primarily to customers in the Computing &
Storage, Networking, Communications, Consumer, Industrial, and
Automotive markets. As a result of the services we perform for
our customers, we are impacted by our
24
customers ability to appropriately predict market demand
for their products. While we work with our customers to
understand their demand needs, we are removed from the actual
end-market served by our customers. Consequently, determining
future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult.

Restatement of Prior Periods |
As described in Amendment No. 1 on Form 10K/ A to our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
August 31, 2004 (the 2004 10-K/ A), we have
restated our consolidated financial statements for the years
2002 through 2004 (the Restatement). The 2004 10-K/
A was filed on April 14, 2005 and provides further
information on the nature and impact of the Restatement.
Certain amounts related to quarterly periods in fiscal 2004
within this Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect
Restatement adjustments. The Restatement increased our net loss
from continuing operations before income taxes for the nine
months ended May 31, 2004 by $15.9 million. There was
no impact to the net loss from continuing operations before
income taxes for the three months ended May 2004. Additionally,
the Restatement increased our net income for the three months
ended May 31, 2004 by $0.1 million and increased our
net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 by
$13.6 million.

Inventory turns are calculated as the ratio of cost of sales
compared to the average inventory for the quarter. During the
third quarter of fiscal 2005, inventory turns increased due to
decreases in inventory levels due to lower revenues and Lean
Initiatives. DSO is calculated as the ratio of average accounts
receivable for the quarter compared to daily revenue for the
quarter. DSO remained consistent with the prior quarter. DPO is
calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during the
quarter compared to daily cost of sales for the quarter. DPO has
increased from the prior quarter due to a decrease in revenues
which reduced cost of sales. The C2C cycle is determined by
taking the ratio of 360 days compared to inventory turns
plus DSO minus DPO. The C2C cycle has decreased from the prior
quarter primarily as a result of higher inventory turns, an
increase in DPO, and consistent DSO.
25
Lean Initiatives encompass identifying value added activities,
conducting these activities without interruption whenever a
customer requests them, and performing them more effectively. In
general, the Lean Initiative in our manufacturing environment
attempts to provide customers with what they require using more
efficient human effort, equipment, time and space.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management is required to make judgments, assumptions and
estimates that affect the amounts reported when we prepare
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. Note 1, Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial
statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2004 describes the significant
accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements. Estimates are used for, but
not limited to, our accounting for contingencies, allowance for
doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible
asset impairments, restructuring costs, and income taxes. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. The following
critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by
judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements.
Our inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost
or market. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological
change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in
demand, as well as any other lower of cost or market
considerations. We make provisions for estimated excess and
obsolete inventory based on our regular reviews of inventory
quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand
and production requirements from our customers. Our provisions
for excess and obsolete inventory are also impacted by our
contractual arrangements with our customers including our
ability or inability to re-sell such inventory to them. If
actual market conditions or our customers product demands
are less favorable than those projected or if our customers are
unwilling or unable to comply with any contractual arrangements
related to excess and obsolete inventory, additional provisions
may be required.
|
|
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based
on a combination of factors. Where we are aware of circumstances
that may impair a specific customers ability to meet its
financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance
against amounts due to us and thereby reduce the net receivable
to the amount we reasonably believe is likely to be collected.
For all other customers, we recognize allowances for doubtful
accounts based on the length of time the receivables are
outstanding, industry and geographic concentrations, the current
business environment and our historical experience. If the
financial condition of our customers deteriorates or if economic
conditions worsen, additional allowances may be required.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, we review the carrying amount of
goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth
quarter (as of June 1). Additionally, we perform an impairment
assessment of goodwill whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may
not be recoverable. Significant changes in circumstances can be
both internal to our strategic and financial direction, as well
as changes to the competitive and economic landscape. With the
change in operating segments as of Sept 1, 2003, we
determined that there was a single reporting unit for the
purpose of goodwill impairment tests under
SFAS No. 142. For purposes of assessing the impairment
of our goodwill, we estimate the value of the reporting unit
using our market capitalization as the best evidence of fair
value. This fair value is then compared to the carrying value of
the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is
less than its carrying value, we then allocate the fair value of
the unit to all the assets and liabilities of that unit
(including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the
reporting units fair value was the purchase price to
acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the
reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and
26
liabilities is the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the
carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill exceeds
the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The process of
evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective
and requires judgment at many points during the test including
future revenue forecasts, discount rates and various reporting
unit allocations.
Our intangible assets consist primarily of intellectual property
agreements and other intangible assets obtained from asset
acquisitions. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is
measured by comparing the intangible assets carrying amounts to
the fair values as determined using discounted cash flow models.
There is significant judgment involved in determining these cash
flows.
|
|
|
Restructuring and Related Impairment Costs |
Over the past few years, we have recorded restructuring and
impairment costs as we rationalized our operations in light of
customer demand declines and the economic downturn. These
restructuring and impairment charges include employee severance
and benefit costs, costs related to leased facilities that have
been abandoned and subleased, owned facilities no longer used by
us which will be disposed of, costs related to leased equipment
that has been abandoned or returned to the lessor, and
impairment of owned equipment that will be disposed of. For
owned facilities and equipment, the impairment loss recognized
was based on the fair value less costs to sell, with fair value
estimated based on existing market prices for similar assets.
Severance and benefit costs and other costs associated with
restructuring activities initiated prior to January 1, 2003
were recorded in compliance with EITF Issue No. 94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. Severance
and benefit costs associated with restructuring activities
initiated on or after January 1, 2003 are recorded in
accordance with SFAS No. 112, Employers
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, as we concluded
that we had a substantive severance plan. In accordance with
SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities, the estimated lease loss
accrued for leased facilities that have been abandoned and
subleased after January 1, 2003 represents the fair value
of the lease liability as measured by the present value of
future lease payments subsequent to abandonment less the present
value of any estimated sublease income. For those facilities
abandoned and subleased as part of restructuring activities
under EITF Issue No. 94-3, the estimated lease loss
represents payments subsequent to abandonment less any estimated
sublease income. In order to estimate future sublease income, we
work with a real estate broker to estimate the length of time
until we can sublease a facility and the amount of rent we can
expect to receive. Our estimates of expected sublease income
could change based on factors that affect our ability to
sublease those facilities such as general economic conditions
and the real estate market, among others.
We currently have significant deferred tax assets in certain
jurisdictions resulting from tax credit carry-forwards, net
operating losses and other deductible temporary differences,
which will reduce taxable income in such jurisdictions in future
periods. We have provided valuation allowances for future tax
benefits resulting from foreign net operating loss
carry-forwards and for certain other U.S. and foreign deductible
temporary differences where we believe future realizability is
in doubt. SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance
to be established when it is more likely than not
that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be
realized, and further provides that it is difficult to conclude
that a valuation allowance is not needed when there is negative
evidence in the form of cumulative losses in recent years.
Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall
assessment. We established a valuation allowance in the third
quarter of fiscal 2003 for most of our deferred tax assets
because prior losses and an uncertain future outlook did not
support projections of profitability sufficient to establish our
ability to use those deferred tax assets in future periods. We
have not yet established sustained profitability since that time
which would support recognition of deferred tax assets generated
in prior and current periods.
27
We have established contingency reserves for income taxes in
various jurisdictions in accordance with SFAS No. 5
Accounting for Contingencies. The estimate of
appropriate tax reserves is based upon the probable amount of
prior tax benefit that is at risk upon audit and upon the
reasonable estimate of the amount at risk. We periodically
reassess the amount of such reserves and adjust reserve balances
as necessary.
For the quarter ended May 31, 2005, we had a benefit to the
tax provision of $7 million, which had been previously
established for a potential shortfall in spending commitments
related to a tax holiday of a foreign subsidiary. During the
quarter, a study was completed verifying that the spending
commitments had been met.
We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies
arising in the ordinary course of business (for example,
environmental and legal matters). We consider the likelihood and
our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in
determining the necessity for, and amount of, any loss
contingencies. Estimated loss contingencies are accrued when it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of
loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate
information available to us to determine whether any such
accruals should be adjusted. Such revisions in the estimates of
the potential loss contingencies could have a material impact in
our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Net Sales Continuing Operations
Net sales decreased to $2.6 billion for the three months
ended May 31, 2005 from $3.0 billion in the
corresponding period of fiscal 2004. During the third quarter of
fiscal 2005, revenues decreased in almost all end-markets, with
the exception of the automotive end-market. The consumer
end-market decreased by $0.3 billion driven by a
significant drop in demand for cellular handsets and set-top
boxes between periods.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2005, net sales decreased
to $8.0 billion as compared to $8.6 billion in the
corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The computing and consumer
end-markets both decreased by $0.4 billion during the nine
months ended May 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in
fiscal 2004. Our consumer business was impacted by the reasons
noted above and our computing business declined due to
disengagement of low-margin business and decreased demand from
our customers.
The following table depicts, for the periods indicated, revenue
by market expressed as a percentage of net sales. The
distribution of revenue across our markets has fluctuated, and
will continue to fluctuate, as a result of customer demand.

International Sales Continuing Operations
In the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, our
international locations contributed approximately 72.5% and
71.0% of net sales, respectively, compared to approximately
73.6% and 73.0% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004,
respectively.
Major Customers Continuing Operations
Certain customers accounted for 10% or more of our net sales.

Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 62.2% and
61.3% of net sales for the three and nine months ended
May 31, 2005, respectively, compared to approximately 60.8%
and 59.9% in the corresponding periods of fiscal 2004,
respectively.
We believe that our ability to grow depends on increasing sales
to existing customers and on successfully attracting new
customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels
can be changed or delayed.
29
The timely replacement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders
with new business cannot be assured. In addition, we cannot
assume that any of our current customers will continue to
utilize our services. Consequently, our results of operations
may be materially adversely affected.
Gross Profit Continuing Operations
Gross profit varies from period to period and is affected by a
number of factors, including product mix, production
efficiencies, component costs and delivery linearity, product
life cycles, unit volumes, expansion and consolidation of
manufacturing facilities, utilization of manufacturing capacity,
pricing, competition, and unanticipated restructuring or
inventory charges.
Our gross profit percentage increased to 5.2% and 5.6% for the
three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively,
compared to 5.1% and 4.8% for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 2004, respectively. The gross profit improvement was the
result of effectively implementing the Lean Initiative in our
manufacturing sites around the world and increasing discipline
in our quote process for new business.
During the three month period ended May 31, 2005, we
recorded a $16.7 million charge primarily related to the
tax audit of our Brazilian operation. These tax audits primarily
relate to indirect taxes for inventory and other components of
cost of goods sold. While we cannot be certain that additional
provisions will not be required for future tax audits, we do not
expect to incur this significant and type of a charge in future
periods.
Sales of inventory previously written down or written off have
not been significant and have not had any material impact on our
gross profits for the three and nine months ended May 31,
2005.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
Expenses Continuing Operations
SG&A expenses increased $6.0 million, or 5.8%, for the
three months ended May 31, 2005 compared to the
corresponding period in fiscal 2004. SG&A expenses decreased
$21.9 million, or 6.6% for the nine months ended
May 31, 2005, compared to the corresponding period in
fiscal 2004. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses
increased to 4.2% for the three months ended May 31, 2005
as compared to 3.4% in the corresponding period in fiscal 2004
and remained consistent at 3.9% for the nine months ended
May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004. The increase in
SG&A as a percentage of sales between the three month
periods is due to an increase in bad debt expense and fees
related to the work for our recently completed restatements of
our financial reports.
Restructuring and Impairment Continuing
Operations
Total restructuring and impairment charges were
$40.5 million and $84.4 million during the three and
nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively.
During the three months ended May 31, 2005, we approved and
announced a plan to consolidate facilities, reduce the workforce
in Europe and North America and impair certain long-lived assets
that would result in new restructuring charges of
$110-$115 million. We have since revised our estimate to
$80-$95 million due to lower estimated severance charges
resulting from employee turnover and new business opportunities.
We estimate we will make approximately $70-$85 million in
cash payments over the next 12 months in connection with
the restructuring plan. Through May 31, 2005, we recorded
approximately $47.4 million of restructuring expense,
primarily severance costs, related to the new plan.
In addition, during the three months ended May 31, 2005, we
recorded a net credit in restructuring of approximately
$6.9 million. The net credit amount is primarily a result
of revisions to previous estimates for severance costs for
restructuring plans that commenced in fiscal 2004. The revision
to estimated severance costs was driven by employee turnover and
a decision to keep a site open that was previously identified to
be closed. We continue to revise impairment calculations,
severance payouts and lease costs for vacated facilities related
to previous restructuring plans. We anticipate to continue to
incur charges and/or credits related to previous restructuring
actions until the last lease expires in 2012.
30
During the nine months ended May 31, 2005, we also incurred
$39.6 million in impairment charges related to a sale
agreement of a facility in Japan. The sale closed on
May 31, 2005. As a result of the sale, we transferred
approximately $12.3 million from accumulated foreign
currency translation losses included in other comprehensive
losses within Stockholders Equity and recognized that
amount as part of the impairment charge. The remaining
$27.3 million impairment charge was recorded against
property and equipment, net.
We continue to evaluate our cost structure relative to future
financial results and customer demand. If our estimates about
future financial results and customer demand prove to be
inadequate, our condensed consolidated financial condition and
results of operations may suffer.
Interest Income Continuing Operations
Interest income increased $7.7 million to
$12.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005
from $4.9 million in the corresponding period in fiscal
2004. Interest income increased $16.4 million to
$27.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2005
from $11.1 million in the corresponding period in fiscal
2004. The increase was due to increased average cash and cash
equivalent balances and higher interest rates.
Interest Expense Continuing Operations
Interest expense decreased $25.6 million to
$17.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005
from $42.9 million in the corresponding period in fiscal
2004. Interest expense decreased $80.9 million to
$50.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2005
from $131.2 million in the corresponding period in fiscal
2004. The decrease was primarily due to the retirement of
approximately $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of
our LYONs and the settlement of approximately 94% of our ACES
debentures during fiscal 2004. We expect that the redemption of
the 9.625% senior notes on May 20, 2005, will reduce
future interest expense by approximately $9 million per
quarter.
Other Expense net Continuing
Operations
Other expense net decreased $26.4 million to
$47.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005
from $74.2 million in the corresponding period in fiscal
2004. Other expense net decreased $26.0 million
to $42.0 million for the nine months ended May 31,
2005 from $68.0 million in the corresponding period in
fiscal 2004. During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we
completed the redemption of all of the $500 million
aggregate principal amount outstanding of 9.625% senior
notes and recognized a loss on the early retirement of debt of
approximately $52.3 million recorded in other
expense net for the three and nine months ended
May 31, 2005. We also terminated the interest rate swap
agreements related to the extinguished debt during the three
months ended May 31, 2005 and recorded a gain of
$6.6 million in other expense net for the three and
nine months ended May 31, 2005. For the three and nine
months ended May 31, 2004, other expense net
primarily consisted of a loss resulting from the early
settlement of approximately 94% of our 7.25% ACES debentures of
$77.7 million.
The following tables provide the details of the redemption of
the 9.625% senior notes, early settlement of our 7.25% ACES
debentures and the retirement of our 3.25% LYONs due 2020 in
each period presented recorded in the accompanying condensed

Income Taxes Continuing Operations
Our income tax expense was a $1.4 million benefit and
$11.1 million expense, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended May 31, 2005 as compared to an income tax
expense of $0.3 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended May 31,
2004. We incurred net tax expense in certain countries in which
we had profitable operations during the periods ended
May 31, 2005.
In prior quarters, the effective income tax rate had been
largely a function of the balance between income and losses from
domestic and international operations. Our international
operations, taken as a whole, have been subject to tax at a
lower rate than operations in the United States, primarily due
to tax holidays granted to several of our overseas sites in
Malaysia, Singapore and China. The Malaysian tax holiday is
effective through January 2012, subject to certain conditions,
including maintaining certain levels of research and development
expenditures. The Singapore tax holiday is effective through
March 2011, subject to certain conditions. Several of our China
sites have separate tax holiday agreements.
Certain of our offshore operations are reporting taxable
profits, mostly arising in low-cost locations. Accordingly, we
are recognizing some tax expense related to those operations. We
will not be able to offset this tax expense with unrecognized
deferred tax assets described above, because, for the most part,
those assets did not arise in the jurisdictions where we are
realizing taxable profits.
In addition, Solectron has established contingency reserves for
income taxes in various jurisdictions. The estimate of
appropriate tax reserves is based upon the probable amount of
prior tax benefit that is at risk upon audit and upon the
reasonable estimate of the amount at risk. Solectron
periodically reassesses the amount of such reserves and adjust
reserve balances as necessary.
For the quarter ended May 31, 2005, we had a benefit to the
tax provision of $7 million, which had been previously
established for a potential shortfall in spending commitments
related to a tax holiday of a foreign subsidiary. During the
quarter, a study was completed verifying that the spending
commitments had been met.
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act
(the AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA includes a
deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. The Company may choose to
apply this provision to qualifying earnings repatriations in
either the balance of fiscal 2005 or in fiscal 2006. Management
has evaluated the effects of the repatriation provisions and
determined that the Company will not elect to repatriate
qualified earnings under these provisions, but will continue
with its policy of indefinite reinvestments of foreign earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Continuing
Operations
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to
approximately $1.6 billion at May 31, 2005 from
approximately $1.4 billion at August 31, 2004. The

(518.4 |

Net cash provided by operating activities was
$702.8 million during the nine months ended May 31,
2005. This cash was generated by a $259.8 million decrease
in accounts receivable, a $268.6 million decrease in
inventories, a $52.3 loss on retirement of debt and non-cash
depreciation and amortization charges of $144.6 million.
These were offset by a $22.3 million loss from continuing
operations. The decrease in inventory levels and accounts
receivable is due to lower levels of material purchases
resulting from lower revenue during the period and Lean
initiatives.
Net cash used in investing activities of $75.3 million
during the nine months ended May 31, 2005 primarily
consisted of $102.0 million in capital expenditures for
machinery and equipment related to ongoing operations, offset by
net proceeds of $30.0 million received from the disposition
of one of our discontinued operations.
Net cash used in financing activities of $505.1 million
during the nine months ended May 31, 2005 primarily
consisted of the proceeds from issuance of common stock of
$72.5 million offset by $544.7 million of payments
made to extinguish senior notes.
As of May 31, 2005, we had available a $500 million
revolving credit facility that expires on August 20, 2007.
Our revolving credit facility is guaranteed by certain of our
domestic subsidiaries and secured by the pledge of domestic
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, the pledge of
equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries and notes
evidencing intercompany debt. Borrowings under the credit
facility bear interest, at our option, at the London Interbank
offering rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of 2.25% based on our
current senior secured debt ratings, or the higher of the
Federal Funds Rate plus
1/2
of 1% or Bank of America N.A.s publicly announced prime
rate. As of May 31, 2005, there were no borrowings
outstanding under this facility. We are subject to compliance
with certain financial covenants set forth in this facility
including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, cash
interest coverage and leverage. We were in compliance with all
applicable covenants as of May 31, 2005.
In addition, we had $9.7 million in committed and
$176.3 million in uncommitted foreign lines of credit and
other bank facilities as of May 31, 2005 relating to
continuing operations. A committed line of credit obligates a
lender to loan us amounts under the credit facility as long as
we adhere to the terms of the credit agreement. An uncommitted
line of credit is extended to us at the sole discretion of a
lender. The interest rates range from the banks prime
lending rate to the banks prime rate plus 1.0%. As of
May 31, 2005, borrowings and guaranteed amounts were
$3.0 million under committed foreign lines of credit.
Borrowings are payable on demand. The weighted-average interest
rate was 3.08% for committed foreign lines of credit as of
May 31, 2005.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we issued
6.6 million shares of common stock for total net proceeds
of $64.3 million in connection with the settlement and
retirement of the equity component of our remaining outstanding
ACES units, as defined in the ACES agreement.
In May 2005, we completed the redemption of all of the
$500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding
9.625% senior notes due 2009 at the make-whole-premium
price that is calculated in accordance with the terms in the
indenture. We redeemed these notes at 108.94549 percent of
face value or
33
$544.7 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We
recognized a loss on the early retirement of debt of
approximately $52.3 million. The loss was recorded in other
expense net in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations. We funded the redemption with existing cash
balances.
$150.0 million aggregate principal amount of
7.375% senior notes is due on March 1, 2006 and our
$450.0 million aggregate principal amount of
0.5% convertible senior notes is putable by the holders on
February 15, 2011.
We have synthetic lease agreements relating to four
manufacturing sites for continuing operations. The synthetic
leases have expiration dates in 2007. At the end of the lease
term, we have an option, subject to certain conditions, to
purchase or to cause a first party to purchase the facilities
subject to the synthetic leases for the Termination
Value, which approximates the lessors original cost
for each facility, or we may market the property to a first
party at a different price. We are entitled to any proceeds from
a sale of the properties to first parties in excess of the
Termination Value and liable to the lessor for any shortfall. We
provided loans to the lessor equaling approximately 85% of the
Termination Value for each synthetic lease. These loans are
repayable solely from the sale of the properties to first
parties in the future, are subordinated to the amounts payable
to the lessor at the end of the synthetic leases, and may be
credited against the Termination Value payable if we purchase
the properties. The approximate aggregate Termination Values and
loan amounts are $101.3 million and $86.1 million,
respectively, as of May 31, 2005.
Cash collateral of $15.2 million is pledged for the
difference between the aggregate Termination Values and the loan
amounts. Each synthetic lease agreement contains various
affirmative covenants. A default under a lease, including
violation of these covenants, may accelerate the termination
date of the arrangement. We were in compliance with all
applicable covenants as of May 31, 2005. Monthly lease
payments are generally based on the Termination Value and 30-day
LIBOR index (3.08% as of May 31, 2005) plus an
interest-rate margin, which may vary depending upon our
Moodys Investors Services and Standard and
Poors ratings, and are allocated between the lessor and us
based on the proportion of the loan amount to the Termination
Value for each synthetic lease.
We have determined that it is probable that the expected fair
value of the properties at the end of each of the various
synthetic lease terms will be less than the applicable
Termination Value by approximately $14.9 million The
$14.9 million is being accreted over the remaining lease
terms. Accretion expense during the quarter ending May 31,
2005 was $1.1 million.
We account for these synthetic lease arrangements as operating
leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13,
Accounting for Leases, as amended. Our loans to the
lessor and cash collateral were included in other long-term
assets and cash and cash equivalents, respectively, in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, lines of
credit and cash anticipated to be generated from continuing
operations will satisfy our expected working capital, capital
expenditures, debt service and investment requirements through
at least the next 12 months.
The following is a summary of certain obligations and
commitments as of May 31, 2005 for continuing operations:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations
consist of our synthetic and operating leases, our foreign
exchange contracts (described in the We are exposed to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rate fluctuations Risk Factor), and certain
indemnification provisions related to our seven divestitures
(described in the Discontinued Operations portion
below).
A tabular presentation of our contractual obligations is
provided in the Liquidity and Capital Resources
portion of Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of
fiscal 2004, we designated the following businesses as
discontinued operations: Dy 4 Systems Inc., Kavlico Corporation,
our MicroTechnology division, SMART Modular Technologies Inc.,
Stream International Inc., our 63% interest in US Robotics
Corporation, and Force Computers, Inc. In fiscal 2004, all of
the businesses were sold except the MicroTechnology division.
The collective results from all discontinued operations for all
periods presented were as follows (in millions):

Net sales, gross profit, operating (income) expenses
net, interest income net, other income
(expense) net, and income tax expense from discontinued
operations decreased for the three months ended May 31,
2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004 primarily due
to the fact that all of the discontinued operations were sold in
previous fiscal periods. During the second quarter of fiscal
2005, Solectron sold a building that was subject to a synthetic
lease agreement. The synthetic lease agreement was associated
with a discontinued operation that has been sold. As a result of
the transaction, Solectron recorded a gain of approximately
$0.9 million in operating (income) expenses net
as disclosed above.
Net sales, gross profit, operating (income) expenses
net, interest income net, other income
(expense) net, and income tax expense from discontinued
operations decreased for the nine months ended May 31, 2005
as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004 primarily due to
the fact that the final discontinued operation was sold in the
first quarter of fiscal 2005. Furthermore, we recorded
$10.1 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the
discontinued operations recorded in operating (income)
expenses net in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As
a result of this disposition, we transferred approximately
$28.3 million from
35
accumulated foreign currency translation gains, included in
accumulated other comprehensive losses within Stockholders
Equity and recognized that amount as part of the pre-tax gain.
During fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we
completed the sale of all of our discontinued operations. During
the first nine months of fiscal 2005, we decreased the net loss
on the disposal of these discontinued operations by
approximately $3.6 million ($2.6 million was recorded
in the three months ended May 31, 2005) resulting from a
few insignificant adjustments pursuant to the terms of the
disposal transaction. For the nine months ended May 31,
2005, the adjustment to the net loss on these discontinued
operations is recorded in operating (income)
expenses net as disclosed above.
The sale agreements for all seven divestitures contain certain
indemnification provisions under which we may be required to
indemnify the buyer of the divested business for liabilities,
losses, or expenses arising out of breaches of covenants and
certain breaches of representations and warranties relating to
the condition of the business prior to and at the time of sale.
In aggregate, we are contingently liable for up to
$94.8 million for a period of 12 to 24 months
subsequent to the completion of the sale. As of May 31,
2005 there were no significant liabilities recorded under these
indemnification obligations. Additionally, we may be required to
indemnify a buyer for environmental remediation costs for a
period up to 10 years and not to exceed $13 million.
We maintain an insurance policy to cover environmental
remediation liabilities in excess of reserves previously
established upon the acquisition of these properties. We did not
record any environmental charges upon disposition of these
properties.
The sale agreements of the discontinued operations generally
include terms which may result in adjustments to the gain or
loss in fiscal quarters subsequent to the closing of the sale.
36
RISK FACTORS
|
|
|
Most of our net sales come from a small number of
customers; if we lose any of these customers, our net sales
could decline significantly. |
Most of our annual net sales come from a small number of our
customers. Our ten largest customers accounted for approximately
62.2% and 60.8% of net sales from continuing operations in the
third quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the
third quarter of fiscal 2005, two of these customers
individually accounted for more than ten percent of our net
sales. Any material delay, cancellation or reduction of orders
from these or other major customers could cause our net sales to
decline significantly, and we may not be able to reduce the
accompanying expenses at the same time. We cannot guarantee that
we will be able to retain any of our largest customers or any
other accounts, or that we will be able to realize the expected
revenues under existing or anticipated supply agreements with
these customers. Our business, market share, consolidated
financial condition and results of operations will continue to
depend significantly on our ability to obtain orders from new
customers, retain existing customers, realize expected revenues
under existing and anticipated agreements, as well as on the
consolidated financial condition and success of our customers
and their customers.
Net sales may not improve, and could decline, in future periods
if there is continued or resumed weakness in customer demand,
particularly in the telecommunications, computing, and consumer
sectors, resulting from domestic or worldwide economic
conditions.
|
|
|
Our customers may cancel their orders, change production
quantities or locations, or delay production. |
To remain competitive, EMS companies must provide increasingly
rapid product turnaround, at increasingly competitive prices,
for their customers. We generally do not have long-term
contractual commitments from our top customers. As a result, we
cannot guarantee that we will continue to receive any orders or
revenues from our customers. Customers may cancel orders at
their sole discretion, change production quantities or delay
production for a number of reasons outside of our control. Many
of our customers have experienced from time to time significant
decreases in demand for their products and services, as well as
continual material price competition and sales price erosion.
This volatility has resulted, and will continue to result, in
our customers delaying purchases on the products we manufacture
for them, and placing purchase orders for lower volumes of
products than previously anticipated. Cancellations, reductions
or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers
would seriously harm our results of operations by lowering,
eliminating or deferring revenue without substantial offsetting
reductions in our costs thereby reducing our profitability. In
addition, customers may require that manufacturing of their
products be transitioned from one of our facilities to another
of our facilities to achieve cost reductions and other
objectives. Such transfers, if unanticipated or not properly
executed, could result in various inefficiencies and increased
costs, including excess capacity and overhead at one facility
and capacity constraints and related strains on our resources at
the other, disruption and delays in product deliveries and
sales, deterioration in product quality and customer
satisfaction, and increased manufacturing and scrap costs all of
which would have the effect of reducing our profits.
|
|
|
We may not be able to sell excess or obsolete inventory to
customers or third parties, which could have a material adverse
impact on our consolidated financial condition. |
The majority of our inventory purchases and commitments are
based upon demand forecasts that our customers provide to us.
The customers forecasts, and any changes to the forecasts,
including cancellations, may lead to on-hand inventory
quantities and on-order purchase commitments that are in excess
of the customers revised needs, or on-hand inventory that
becomes obsolete.
We generally enter into agreements with our significant
customers. Under these agreements, the extent of our
customers responsibility for excess or obsolete inventory
related to raw materials that were previously purchased or
ordered to meet that customers demand forecast is defined.
If our customers do not comply with their contractual
obligations to purchase excess or obsolete inventory back from
us and we are unable to use or
37
sell such inventory, or if we are unsuccessful in obtaining our
customers agreement to purchase such inventory contractually,
our consolidated financial condition could be materially harmed.
Some of our customers are in the telecommunications industry, an
industry that in recent years has experienced declining revenue,
large losses, negative cash flows, and several bankruptcies or
defaults on borrowing arrangements. There is a risk that, in the
future, these or other customers may not purchase inventory back
from us despite contractual obligations, which could harm our
consolidated financial condition if we are unable to sell the
inventory at carrying value. In addition, enforcement of these
supply agreements may result in material expenses, delays in
payment for inventory and/or disruptions in our customer
relationships.
In addition, we are generally responsible for excess and
obsolete inventory resulting from inventory purchases in excess
of inventory needed to meet customer demand forecasts at the
time the purchase commitments were made, as well as any
inventory purchases outside that provided for in our agreements.
For inventory which is not the customers responsibility,
provisions are made when required to reduce any such excess or
obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value, based
on the quantity of such inventory on hand, our customers
latest forecasts of production requirements, and our assessment
of available disposition alternatives such as use of components
on other programs, the ability and cost to return components to
the vendor, and our estimates of resale values and
opportunities. These assessments are based upon various
assumptions and market conditions which are subject to rapid
change, and/or which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Any
material changes in our assumptions or market conditions could
have a significant effect on our estimates of net realizable
value, could necessitate material changes in our provisions for
excess and obsolete inventory, and could have a material adverse
impact on our consolidated financial condition. In addition, in
the normal course of business, bona fide disagreements may arise
over the amount and/or timing of such claims, and in order to
avoid litigation expenses, collection risks, or disruption of
customer relationships, we may elect to settle such disputes for
lesser amounts than we believe we should be entitled to recover.
In these instances, we must bear the economic loss of any such
excess or obsolete inventory, which could have a material
adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition.
|
|
|
Our non-U.S. locations represent a significant
portion of our net sales; we are exposed to risks associated
with operating internationally. |
Approximately 72.5% and 73.6% of our net sales from continuing
operations are the result of services and products manufactured
in countries outside the United States during the third quarter
of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a result of our
foreign sales and facilities, our operations are subject to a
variety of risks and costs that are unique to international
operations, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
adverse movement of foreign currencies against the
U.S. dollar in which our results are reported; |
|
|
|
import and export duties, and value added taxes; |
|
|
|
import and export regulation changes that could erode our profit
margins or restrict exports and/or imports; |
|
|
|
potential restrictions on the transfer of funds; |
|
|
|
government and license requirements governing the transfer of
technology and products abroad; |
|
|
|
disruption of local labor supply and/or transportation services; |
|
|
|
inflexible employee contracts in the event of business downturns; |
|
|
|
the burden and cost of compliance with import and export
regulations and foreign laws; |
|
|
|
economic and political risks in emerging or developing
economies; and |
|
|
|
risks of conflict and terrorism that could disrupt our or our
customers and suppliers businesses. |
We have been granted tax holidays, which are effective through
2012 subject to some conditions, for our Malaysian and Singapore
sites. We have also been granted various tax holidays in China.
These tax holidays are effective for various terms and are
subject to some conditions. It is possible that the current tax
holidays
38
will be terminated or modified or that future tax holidays that
we may seek will not be granted. If the current tax holidays are
terminated or modified, or if additional tax holidays are not
granted in the future or when our current tax holidays expire,
our future effective income tax rate could increase.
|
|
|
We are exposed to general economic conditions, which could
have a material adverse impact on our business, operating
results and consolidated financial condition. |
As a result of the recent economic conditions in the U.S. and
internationally, and reduced capital spending as well as
uncertain end-market demand, our sales have been difficult to
forecast with accuracy. If there were to be continued weakness,
or any further deterioration in the markets in which we
operation or the business or financial condition of our
customers, it would have a material adverse impact on our
business, operating results and consolidated financial
condition. In addition, if the economic conditions in the
United States and the other markets we serve worsen, we may
experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating
results and consolidated financial condition.
|
|
|
Possible fluctuation of operating results from quarter to
quarter and factors out of our control could affect the market
price of our securities. |
Our quarterly earnings and/or stock price may fluctuate in the
future due to a number of factors including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
differences in the profitability of the types of manufacturing
services we provide. For example, high velocity and low
complexity printed circuit boards and systems assembly services
have lower gross profit than low volume/complex printed circuit
boards and systems assembly services; |
|
|
|
our ability to maximize the hours of use of our equipment and
facilities is dependent on the duration of the production run
time for each job and customer; |
|
|
|
the amount of automation that we can use in the manufacturing
process for cost reduction varies, depending upon the complexity
of the product being made; |
|
|
|
our customers demand for our products and their ability to
take delivery of our products and to make timely payments for
delivered products; |
|
|
|
our ability to optimize the ordering of inventory as to timing
and amount to avoid holding inventory in excess of immediate
production needs; |
|
|
|
our ability to offer technologically advanced, cost-effective,
quick response, manufacturing services; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in the availability and pricing of components; |
|
|
|
timing of expenditures in anticipation of increased sales; |
|
|
|
cyclicality in our target markets; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in our market share; |
|
|
|
expenses and disruptions associated with acquisitions and
divestitures; |
|
|
|
announcements of operating results and business conditions by
our customers; |
|
|
|
announcements by our competitors relating to new customers or
technological innovation or new services; |
|
|
|
economic developments in the electronics industry as a whole; |
|
|
|
credit rating and stock analyst downgrades; |
|
|
|
our ability to successfully integrate changes to our ERP system; |
|
|
|
political and economic developments in countries in which we
have operations; and |
|
|
|
general market conditions. |
39
If our operating results in the future are below the
expectations of securities analysts and investors, the market
price of our outstanding securities could be harmed.
|
|
|
If we incur more restructuring-related charges than
currently anticipated, our consolidated financial condition and
results of operations may suffer. |
We incurred approximately $40.5 million of restructuring
and impairment costs relating to continuing operations in the
third quarter of fiscal 2005 and approximately $4.4 million
during the third quarter of fiscal 2004. If our estimates about
previous restructuring charges prove to be inadequate, our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations may
suffer. While we believe our capacity is appropriate for current
revenue levels, we continue to evaluate our cost structure
relative to future financial results and customer demand. If our
estimates about future financial results and customer demand
prove to be inadequate, our consolidated financial condition and
consolidated results of operations may suffer.
|
|
|
We depend on limited or sole source suppliers for critical
components. The inability to obtain sufficient components as
required, and under favorable purchase terms, would cause harm
to our business. |
We are dependent on certain suppliers, including limited and
sole source suppliers, to provide key components used in our
products. We have experienced, and may continue to experience,
delays in component deliveries, which in turn could cause delays
in product shipments and require the redesign of certain
products. In addition, if we are unable to procure necessary
components under favorable purchase terms, including at
favorable prices and with the order lead-times needed for the
efficient and profitable operation of our factories, our results
of operations could suffer. The electronics industry has
experienced in the past, and may experience in the future,
shortages in semiconductor devices, including
application-specific integrated circuits, DRAM, SRAM, flash
memory, certain passive devices such as tantalum capacitors, and
other commodities that may be caused by such conditions as
overall market demand surges or supplier production capacity
constraints. The inability to continue to obtain sufficient
components as and when required, or to develop alternative
sources as and when required, could cause delays, disruptions or
reductions in product shipments or require product redesigns
which could damage relationships with current or prospective
customers, and increase inventory levels and costs, thereby
causing harm to our business.
|
|
|
We potentially bear the risk of price increases associated
with shortages in electronics components. |
At various times, there have been shortages of components in the
electronics industry leading to increased component prices. One
of the services that we perform for many customers is purchasing
electronics components used in the manufacturing of the
customers products. As a result of this service, we
potentially bear the risk of price increases for these
components if we are unable to purchase components at the
pricing level anticipated to support the margins assumed in our
agreements with our customers.
|
|
|
Our net sales could decline if our competitors provide
comparable manufacturing services and improved products at a
lower cost. |
We compete with a number of different contract manufacturers,
depending on the type of service we provide or the geographic
locale of our operations. This industry is intensely competitive
and many of our competitors may have greater manufacturing,
financial, R&D and/or marketing resources than we have. In
addition, we may not be able to offer prices as low as some of
our competitors because those competitors may have lower cost
structures as a result of their geographic location or the
services they provide, or because such competitors are willing
to accept business at lower margins in order to utilize more of
their excess capacity. In that event, our net sales would
decline. We also expect our competitors to continue to improve
the performance of their current products or services, to reduce
their current products or service sales prices and to introduce
new products or services that may offer greater value-added
performance and improved pricing. If we are unable to improve
our capabilities substantially, any of these could cause a
decline in sales, loss of market acceptance of our products or
services and corresponding loss of market share, or profit
margin compression. We have experienced instances in which
customers have transferred certain portions of their business to
competitors in response to more attractive pricing quotations
than we have been willing to offer,
40
and there can be no assurance that we will not lose business in
the future in response to such competitive pricing or other
inducements which may be offered by our competitors.
|
|
|
We depend on the continuing trend of OEMs to
outsource. |
A substantial factor in our past revenue growth was attributable
to the transfer of manufacturing and supply-based management
activities from our OEM customers. Future growth is partially
dependent on new outsourcing opportunities. To the extent that
these opportunities are not available, our future growth would
be unfavorably impacted.
|
|
|
Our strategic relationships with major customers create
risks. |
In the past several years, we completed several strategic
transactions with OEM customers. Under these arrangements, we
generally acquired inventory, equipment and other assets from
the OEM, and leased (or in some cases acquired) their
manufacturing facilities, while simultaneously entering into
multi-year supply agreements for the production of their
products. There has been strong competition among EMS companies
for these transactions, and this competition may continue to be
a factor in customers selection of their EMS providers.
These transactions contributed to a significant portion of our
past revenue growth, as well as to a significant portion of our
more recent restructuring charges and goodwill and intangible
asset impairments. While we do not anticipate our acquisitions
of OEM plants and equipment in the near future to return to the
levels at which they occurred in the recent past, there may be
occasions on which we determine it to be advantageous to
complete acquisitions in selected geographic and/or industry
markets. As part of such arrangements, we would typically enter
into supply agreements with the divesting OEMs, but such
agreements generally do not require any minimum volumes of
purchases by the OEM and the actual volume of purchases may be
less than anticipated. Arrangements which may be entered into
with divesting OEMs typically would involve many risks,
including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
we may pay a purchase price to the divesting OEMs that exceeds
the value we are ultimately able to realize from the future
business of the OEM; |
|
|
|
the integration into our business of the acquired assets and
facilities may be time-consuming and costly; |
|
|
|
we, rather than the divesting OEM, would bear the risk of excess
capacity; |
|
|
|
we may not achieve anticipated cost reductions and efficiencies; |
|
|
|
we may be unable to meet the expectations of the OEM as to
volume, product quality, timeliness and cost reductions; and |
|
|
|
if demand for the OEMs products declines, the OEM may
reduce its volume of purchases, and we may not be able to
sufficiently reduce the expenses of operating the facility or
use the facility to provide services to other OEMs, and we might
find it appropriate to close, rather than continue to operate,
the facility, and any such actions would require us to incur
significant restructuring and/or impairment charges. |
As a result of these and other risks, we may be unable to
achieve anticipated levels of profitability under such
arrangements and they may not result in material revenues or
contribute positively to our earnings. Additionally, other OEMs
may not wish to obtain logistics or operations management
services from us.
|
|
|
If we are unable to manage future acquisitions, and
cost-effectively run our operations, our profitability could be
adversely affected. |
Our ability to manage and integrate future acquisitions will
require successful integration of such acquisitions into our
manufacturing and logistics infrastructure, and may require
enhancements or upgrades of accounting and other internal
management systems and the implementation of a variety of
procedures and controls. We cannot guarantee that significant
problems in these areas will not occur. Any failure to enhance
or expand these systems and implement such procedures and
controls in an efficient manner and at a pace
41
consistent with our business activities could harm our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, we may experience inefficiencies from the management
of geographically dispersed facilities and incur substantial
infrastructure and working capital costs.
|
|
|
Notwithstanding our recent divestiture of certain
businesses, we will remain subject to certain indemnification
obligations for a period of time after completion of the
divestitures. |
The sale agreement for each of our divested businesses contains
indemnification provisions under which we may be required to
indemnify the buyer of the divested business for liabilities,
losses, or expenses arising out of breaches of covenants and
certain breaches of representations and warranties relating to
the condition of the business prior to and at the time of sale.
While we believe, based upon the facts presently known to us,
that we have made adequate provision for any such potential
indemnification obligations, it is possible that other facts may
become known in the future which may subject us to claims for
additional liabilities or expenses beyond those presently
anticipated and provided for. Should any such unexpected
liabilities or expenses be of a material amount, our finances
could be adversely affected.
|
|
|
With regards to our internal controls over financial
reporting, our success in satisfying the requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) in a timely
manner is dependent upon our ability to remediate identified
deficiencies and implement new or improved controls. |
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(S404) requires that we evaluate and report on the
effectiveness of Solectrons internal controls over
financial reporting beginning with the annual report filed on
Form 10-K for the reporting period ending August 31,
2005. In addition, our independent auditors must report on
managements evaluation of Solectrons internal
controls. We are currently in the process of evaluating,
documenting and testing internal controls that will be used as
the basis for the S404 management report to be included in the
Form 10-K. A material weakness in our internal controls
over financial reporting was identified during the quarter ended
February 28, 2005. As mentioned in Item 4 to this
Form 10-Q, the control issues surrounding this material
weakness have been. Our ongoing evaluation and testing of
internal controls may result in the identification of additional
deficiencies, which may require further remediation efforts and
enhancements or changes to internal controls in order to satisfy
the requirements of S404. Any delay or failure to implement
required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered
in the implementation of such new or improved controls, could
have implications on our consolidated operating results and
could result in a material weakness or weaknesses, each of which
would be required to be reported in the Form 10-K.
|
|
|
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates and interest rate fluctuations. |
We have currency exposure arising from both sales and purchases
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of
our sites. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the
currency of the exposure and the functional currency of our
sites could seriously harm our business, operating results and
consolidated financial condition.
As of May 31, 2005, we had outstanding foreign exchange
forward contracts with a total notional amount of approximately
$529.3 million related to continuing operations. The change
in value of the foreign exchange forward contracts resulting
from a hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates would
be offset by the remeasurement of the related balance sheet
items, the result of which would not be significant.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to
preserve principal, while at the same time maximize yields
without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this
objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a
variety of securities, including government and corporate
obligations, certificates of deposit and money market funds. As
of May 31, 2005, substantially our entire total portfolio
was scheduled to mature in less than three months. A
hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a
material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolios.

|
|
Failure to attract and retain key personnel and skilled
associates could hurt our operations. |
Our continued success depends to a large extent upon the efforts
and abilities of key managerial and technical associates. Losing
the services of key personnel could harm us. Our business also
depends upon our ability to continue to attract key executives
and retain senior managers and skilled associates. Failure to do
so could harm our business.
|
|
|
Failure to comply with environmental regulations could
harm our business. |
As a company in the electronics manufacturing services industry,
we are subject to a variety of environmental regulations,
including those relating to the use, storage, discharge and
disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing
process as well as air quality and water quality regulations,
restrictions on water use, and storm water regulations. We are
also required to comply with laws and regulations relating to
occupational safety and health, product disposal and product
content and labeling. Although we have never sustained any
significant loss as a result of non-compliance with such
regulations, any failure by us to comply with environmental laws
and regulations could result in liabilities or the suspension of
production. In addition, these laws and regulations could
restrict our ability to expand our facilities or require us to
acquire costly equipment or incur other significant costs to
comply with regulations.
We own and lease some contaminated sites (for some of which we
have been indemnified by third parties for required
remediation), sites for which there is a risk of the presence of
contamination, and sites with some levels of contamination for
which we may be liable and which may or may not ultimately
require any remediation. We have obtained environmental
insurance to reduce potential environmental liability exposures
posed by some of our operations and facilities. We believe,
based on our current knowledge, that the cost of any groundwater
or soil clean up that may be required at our facilities would
not materially harm our business, consolidated financial
condition and results of operations. Nevertheless, the process
of remediating contamination in soil and groundwater at
facilities is costly and cannot be estimated with high levels of
confidence, and there can be no assurance that the costs of such
activities would not harm our business, consolidated financial
condition and results of operations in the future.
In general, we are not directly responsible for compliance with
laws like Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) and Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
These WEEE and RoHS laws generally apply to our OEM customers;
Solectron may, however, provide compliance-related services to
our customers upon request. Failing to have the capability of
delivering the products which comply with these present and
future environmental laws and regulations could restrict our
ability to expand facilities, or could require us to acquire
costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to
comply with environmental regulations, and could impair our
relations with our customers. Moreover, to the extent we are
found non-compliant with any environmental laws and regulations
applicable to our activities, we may incur substantial fines and
penalties.
|
|
|
We may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our
intellectual property rights and could become involved in
intellectual property disputes. |
Our ability to effectively compete may be affected by our
ability to protect our proprietary information. We hold a number
of patents, patent applications, and various other trade secrets
and license rights. These patents, trade secrets, and license
rights may not provide meaningful protection for our
manufacturing processes and equipment innovations, or we might
find it necessary to initiate litigation proceedings to protect
our intellectual property rights. Any such litigation could be
lengthy and costly and could harm our consolidated financial
condition.
In the past we have been and may from time to time continue to
be, notified of claims that we may be infringing patents,
copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other
parties. In the event of an infringement claim, we may be
required to spend a significant amount of money to develop a
non-infringing alternative, to obtain licenses, and/or to defend
against the claim. We may not be successful in developing such
an alternative or obtaining a license on reasonable terms, if at
all. Any litigation, even where an infringement claim is without
merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of
resources. Accordingly,
43
the resolution or adjudication of intellectual property disputes
could have a material adverse effect on our business,
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
|
|
|
Our rating downgrades make it more expensive for us to
borrow money. |
On October 28, 2003 Standard and Poors downgraded our
senior unsecured debt rating to B+ with a stable
outlook. On October 31, 2003 Moodys downgraded our
senior unsecured debt rating to B1 with a stable
outlook. These rating downgrades increase our cost of capital
should we borrow under our revolving lines of credit, and may
make it more expensive for us to raise additional capital in the
future. Such capital raising activities may be on terms that may
not be acceptable to us or otherwise not available. On
June 22, 2004, Standard and Poors affirmed our senior
unsecured rating and revised our outlook to positive from stable.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
|
|
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
In connection with the preparation and filing of this
Form 10-Q, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at a reasonable assurance level as of May 31,
2005.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2005, the Company
remediated the material weakness in internal controls over
financial reporting that arose from the failure to analyze
certain financial statement accounts on a timely basis that was
reported in Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/ A to
Solectrons Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended August 31, 2004 (the 2004 10-K/ A). More
specifically, the Company has:
|
|
|
|
|
Reconciled and analyzed its financial statement accounts as of
the end of the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
Instituted enhanced monitoring activities in the form of
(1) an expanded Financial Close Checklist which addresses
the various account analysis and reconciliation issues which
gave rise to the material weakness and (2) additional
levels of review by regional and corporate management regarding
these issues. |
|
|
|
Migrated tax account roll-forwards to a centralized automated
system. |
|
|
|
Undertaken a review of its legal entity structure to eliminate a
number of legal entities and, thus, reduce the related financial
and accounting complexity. |
|
|
|
Improved training, education and accounting reviews designed to
ensure that all relevant personnel involved in foreign tax
reporting understand and apply tax accounting in compliance with
SFAS 109. |
Except as discussed above, there were no changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting during
the quarter ended May 31, 2005, that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
Solectron is from time to time involved in various litigation
and legal matters, including those described below. By
describing the particular matter set forth below, Solectron does
not intend to imply that it or its legal advisors have concluded
or believe that the outcome of this particular matter is or is
not likely to have a material adverse impact upon
Solectrons business or consolidated financial condition
and results of operations.
Solectron has settled the previously reported shareholder
derivative lawsuit entitled Lifshitz v. Cannon
et al., Case No. CV815693, filed in the
Santa Clara County, California Superior Court, on terms not
considered to be material to Solectron. Court approval of the
settlement terms was obtained on December 16, 2004.
On March 6, 2003, a putative shareholder class action
lawsuit was filed against Solectron and certain of its officers
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California alleging claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder. The case is entitled Abrams v. Solectron
Corporation et al., Case No. C-03-0986 CRB. The
complaint alleged that the defendants issued false and
misleading statements in certain press releases and SEC filings
issued between September 17, 2001 and September 26,
2002. In particular, plaintiff alleged that the defendants
failed to disclose and to properly account for excess and
obsolete inventory in Solectrons former Technology
Solutions business unit during the relevant time period.
Additional complaints making similar allegations were
subsequently filed in the same court, and pursuant to an order
entered June 2, 2003, the Court appointed lead counsel and
plaintiffs to represent the putative class in a single
consolidated action. The Consolidated Amended Complaint, filed
September 8, 2003, alleges an expanded class period of
June 18, 2001 through September 26, 2002, and purports
to add a claim for violation of Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act), on behalf of a putative class of former shareholders
of C-MAC Industries, Inc., who acquired Solectron stock pursuant
to the October 19, 2001 Registration Statement filed in
connection with Solectrons acquisition of C-MAC
Industries, Inc. In addition, while the initial complaints
focused on alleged inventory issues at the former Technology
Solutions business unit, the Consolidated Amended Complaint adds
allegations of inadequate disclosure and failure to properly
account for excess and obsolete inventory at Solectrons
other business units. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount
of damages on behalf of the putative class. Solectron believes
it has valid defenses to the plaintiffs claims. There can
be no assurance, however, that the outcome of the lawsuit will
be favorable to Solectron or will not have a material adverse
effect on Solectrons business, consolidated financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, Solectron may
be forced to incur substantial litigation expenses in defending
this litigation.
