                    CELESTICA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS


                                     SUMMARY

- Revenue of $1,959 million, adjusted net earnings of $0.20 per share
- Efficiency gains drive cash cycle improvements and strong cash flow
- Debt to capitalization reduced to 18%, cash position increases to record
  $1.8 billion
- Company repurchases 1 million subordinate voting shares; also fully redeems
  10 1/2% notes
- Company repurchases $48 million of convertible debt

TORONTO, Canada - Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a world leader in electronics
manufacturing services (EMS), today announced financial results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2002.

For the third quarter, revenue was $1,959 million, down 11 per cent from $2,203
million in the third quarter of 2001. Adjusted net earnings* were $51 million or
$0.20 per share, compared to $65 million or $0.27 for the same period last year.
The company's guidance for the third quarter, which was revised in September,
was for revenue of $1.9 - $2.0 billion and $0.18 to $0.22 adjusted net earnings
per share.

Net loss on a GAAP basis for the third quarter was $91 million or $0.40 per
share. The results reflect the after-tax impact of a $136 million charge
primarily associated with the company's $300 - $375 million restructuring
program announced in July 2002. In the third quarter last year, the company
reported a net loss of $39 million or $0.20 per share that reflected the
after-tax impact of a $79.6 million restructuring charge.

Despite late quarter revenue reductions, Celestica continued to improve
operating efficiency and deliver solid results in cash flow and balance sheet
metrics. Highlights in the third quarter included:

     o    Cash flow from operations of $371 million
     o    Sequential decrease in inventory of $171 million
     o    Cash cycle improvement to 15 days from 21 days quarter-to-quarter
     o    Cash balances increased to $1,848 million or $8.06 per share, up $164
          million from the second quarter despite spending $203 million to
          repurchase shares, senior subordinated notes and convertible debt
     o    Sequential reduction in SG&A by 9% to $73 million

                                                                         more...

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, revenue was $6,360 million,
compared to $7,556 million for the same period last year. Adjusted net earnings
were $184 million or $0.72 per share compared to $245 million or $1.08 last
year. GAAP net loss was $11 million or $0.09 per share compared to net earnings
of $32 million or $0.10 per share last year.

"The quarter was very challenging as we experienced unexpected revenue declines
during September," said Eugene Polistuk, chairman and CEO, Celestica.
"Specifically, higher complexity products built in Europe and North America were
impacted by weaker end-market demand."

"Within this difficult environment, however, we continued to deliver on our
goals of driving efficiency and enhancing our very strong balance sheet," said
Polistuk. "Our cash balances increased to just over $8.00 per share, and our
debt to capital was a conservative 18%. We also made solid sequential progress
on our cash cycle, further reducing it to 15 days, achieving our best
performance ever and a significant improvement from 67 days one year ago."

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE REDEMPTION AND NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

During the quarter, Celestica redeemed all of its $130.0 million of Senior
Subordinated Notes which were due in 2006.

During the quarter, Celestica also repurchased 1.0 million Subordinate Voting
Shares at the weighted average price of $17.08 per share. The share repurchase
program is part of the company's Normal Course Issuer Bid which allows the
company to repurchase up to 9.6 million subordinate voting shares, for
cancellation, over a period from August 1, 2002 to July 30, 2003.

REPURCHASE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT

During the quarter, the company paid $48.3 million to repurchase $110.4 million
in principal amount, of its outstanding Liquid Yield OptionTM Notes (LYONs) in
the open market. The company may, from time-to-time, purchase additional LYONs
and has been authorized by the board of directors to purchase up to an
additional $100 million subject to market conditions. The amount and timing of
any such purchases will be at Celestica's discretion.

Looking forward, the company provided guidance for the fourth quarter ending
December 31, 2002 for revenue in the range of $1.7 - $1.9 billion, and adjusted
earnings per share between $0.13-$0.21. This guidance reflects continued weak
end-market conditions, particularly in communications and information technology
infrastructure spending.

Management will host a conference call today discussing the company's third
quarter results. The conference call will start at 4:30 EST and can be accessed
at www.celestica.com.

                                                                         more...

DISCLOSURE ON FINANCIAL RESULTS
As part of its quarterly financial press releases, Celestica provides extensive
disclosure including income statement, balance sheet, cash flow from operations
and detailed accompanying footnotes. All information is prepared in accordance
with Canadian GAAP which conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except
as noted in the company's annual report. These same documents are also filed
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions and Canadian
Securities Commissions.

To supplement this information, Celestica also provides information on adjusted
net earnings. As a result of the significant number of acquisitions made by
Celestica over the past few years, management of Celestica believes adjusted net
earnings is a useful measure of operating performance on an enterprise-wide
basis that also facilitates reliable period-to-period comparisons. Adjusted net
earnings exclude the effects of acquisition-related charges, (most
significantly, amortization of intangible assets and integration costs related
to acquisitions) other non-recurring charges (most significantly, restructuring
costs and the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets) and the related
income tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted net earnings do not have any
standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to
similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted net earnings are not a
measure of performance under Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings prepared in
accordance with Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP.

For comparative purposes, historical detail on adjusted net earnings are shown
in the company's securities filings including annual reports, press releases and
prospectuses, as well as in supplementary historical information found on the
company's web site.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (IN MILLIONS OF U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS:

      The primary operations of the Company consist of providing a full range of
electronics manufacturing services including design, prototyping, assembly,
testing, product assurance, supply chain management, worldwide distribution and
after-sales service to its customers primarily in the information technology and
communications industries. The Company has operations in the Americas, Europe
and Asia.

      Celestica prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles which are generally accepted in Canada with a reconciliation to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as disclosed in
note 22 to the 2001 Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements do not include all requirements of generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) for annual financial statements. The unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 2002 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002.

      The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon
accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the annual
consolidated financial statements, except the following:

(A)  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
     In September 2001, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA)
issued Handbook Sections 1581, "Business combinations" and 3062, "Goodwill and
other intangible assets." The new standards mandate the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations and require that goodwill no longer be
amortized but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The standards
also specify criteria that intangible assets must meet to be recognized and
reported apart from goodwill. The standards require that the value of the shares
issued in a business combination be measured using the average share price for a
reasonable period before and after the date the terms of the acquisition are
agreed to and announced. Previously, the consummation date was used to value the
shares issued in a business combination. The new standards are substantially
consistent with U.S. GAAP.

      Effective July 1, 2001, goodwill acquired in business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001 was not amortized. In addition, the criteria for
recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill and the valuation of the
shares issued in a business combination have been applied to business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001.

      The Company has fully adopted these new standards as of January 1, 2002,
and has discontinued amortization of all existing goodwill. The Company has also
evaluated existing intangible assets, including estimates of remaining useful
lives, and has reclassed $9.1 from intellectual property to goodwill as of
January 1, 2002 to conform with the new criteria.

      Section 3062 requires the completion of a transitional goodwill impairment
evaluation within six months of adoption. Impairment is identified by comparing
the carrying amounts of the Company's reporting units with their fair values. To
the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the
impairment is measured in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and
must be recorded by December 31, 2002. Any transitional impairment would be
recognized as an effect of a change in accounting principle and would be charged
to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2002. The Company completed the
transitional

                                                                         more...

goodwill impairment assessment during the second quarter of 2002, and determined
that no impairment existed as of the date of adoption.

      Effective January 1, 2002, the Company had unamortized goodwill of
$1,137.9 which is no longer being amortized. This change in accounting policy is
not applied retroactively and the amounts presented for prior periods have not
been restated for this change. The impact of this change is as follows:

</Table>

      Intellectual property primarily represents the cost of certain
intellectual property and process technology. Other intangible assets consist
primarily of customer relationship and contracts representing the excess of cost
over the fair value of tangible assets and intellectual property acquired in
asset acquisitions.

      Other intangible assets have increased $51.5 due to acquisitions. This
increase has been offset by reclassifications to goodwill (see note 8(b)) and
write-offs due to restructuring.

     The aggregate amortization expense for other intangible assets was $29.0
and $72.7 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively.

     (b) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER STOCK-BASED PAYMENTS:
     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new CICA Handbook
Section 3870, which requires that a fair value based method of accounting be
applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to direct awards of
stock to employees. However, the new standard permits the Company to continue
its existing policy of recording no compensation cost on the grant of stock
options to employees with the addition of pro forma information. The Company
has applied the pro forma disclosure provisions of the new standard to awards
granted on or after January 1, 2002. The pro forma effect of awards granted
prior to January 1, 2002, has not been included.

                                                                         more...

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (IN MILLIONS OF U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

      The standard requires the disclosure of pro forma net earnings and
earnings per share information as if the Company had accounted for employee
stock options under the fair value method. The fair value of the options issued
in the quarter and nine-month period were determined using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in the quarter:
risk-free rate of 4.88%; dividend yield of 0%; a volatility factor of the
expected market price of the Company's shares of 70%; and a weighted-average
expected option life of 7.5 years. The weighted-average grant date fair values
of options issued during the quarter was $13.32 per share. For purposes of pro
forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to
income over the vesting period. For the three months ended September 30, 2002,
the Company's pro forma net loss is $91.1, basic loss per share is $0.40 and
diluted loss per share is $0.40. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
the Company's pro forma net loss is $11.5, basic loss per share is $0.09 and
diluted loss per share is $0.09. The Company's stock option plans are described
in note 11 to the 2001 consolidated financial statements.

3.   ACQUISITIONS:

      ASSET ACQUISITIONS:
      On March 31, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets located in Miyagi
and Yamanashi, Japan from NEC Corporation. In August 2002, the Company acquired
certain assets from Corvis Corporation in the United States. The purchase price
for these acquisitions was financed with cash and allocated to the net assets
acquired, including other intangible assets of $51.5, based on their relative
fair values at the date of acquisition.

4.    LONG-TERM DEBT

     In August 2002, the Company redeemed the entire $130.0 of outstanding
Senior Subordinated Notes at a premium of 5.25%. See note 7(b).

5.    CONVERTIBLE DEBT

      During the quarter the Company repurchased Liquid Yield OptionTM Notes
(LYONs) with a principal amount at maturity of $110.4. The Company paid a total
of $48.3. Pursuant to Canadian GAAP, the LYONs are recorded as an equity
instrument and bifurcated into a principal equity component and an option
component. See note 10 to the 2001 Consolidated Financial Statements. The gain
on the repurchase of LYONs is recorded to retained earnings and apportioned
between the principal equity and option components, based on their relative fair
values compared to their carrying values. Consistent with the treatment of the
periodic accretion charges, the gain on the principal equity component has been
included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. See
note 9.

6.    CAPITAL STOCK

      In July 2002, the Company filed a Normal Course Issuer Bid to repurchase,
at its discretion, up to 5% of the total outstanding shares, or 9.6 million
Subordinate Voting Shares for cancellation, over the next 12 months. During the
quarter, the Company repurchased 1.0 million Subordinate Voting Shares at a
weighted average price of $17.08 per share.

      During the quarter, employee termination announcements were made primarily
in the Americas with the majority pertaining to manufacturing and plant
employees. To date, 2,368 employees have been identified to be terminated, of
which 458 employees were terminated in the quarter. The remaining termination
costs are expected to be paid out within one year.

      The non-cash charges for asset impairment reflects the write-down of
certain long-lived assets primarily in the Americas that have become impaired as
a result of the rationalization of facilities. The asset impairments relate to
intangible assets, machinery and equipment, buildings and improvements. The
assets were written down to their recoverable amounts using estimated cash
flows.

      The Company will record additional charges in the fourth quarter and
expects to complete the major components of the restructuring plan by the end of
2003, except for certain long-term lease contractual obligations.

(D)  OTHER:
     During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of
$36.1. This is comprised of a write-down of certain assets, primarily goodwill
and intangible assets.

 8.   SEGMENTED INFORMATION:

      The Company's operations fall into one dominant industry segment, the
electronics manufacturing services industry. The Company manages its operations,
and accordingly determines its operating segments, on a geographic basis. The
performance of geographic operating segments is monitored based on EBIAT
(earnings before interest, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets,
other charges and integration costs related to acquisitions). Inter-segment
transactions are reflected at market value. The following is a breakdown by
operating segment.

(a) The Company has reclassed $9.1 from intellectual property to goodwill as of
January 1, 2002 to conform with the new goodwill standards.

(b) The Company has completed the valuations of certain assets relating to the
2001 business combinations. This resulted in changes to the fair value
allocation of the purchase price, and thus goodwill.

9.    WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:

      For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for purposes of the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation,
excludes the effect of convertible securities as they are anti-dilutive.

      For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the gain on the
principal equity component of the convertible debt repurchase of $4.0 is
included in the calculation of basic and diluted GAAP earnings (loss) per share.
