Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization of the Company Flex Ltd. ("Flex" or the "Company") is the advanced, end-to-end manufacturing partner of choice that helps market-leading brands design, build, deliver and manage innovative products that improve the world. Through the collective strength of a global workforce across approximately 30 countries with responsible, sustainable operations, Flex supports our customers' entire product lifecycle with a broad array of services in every major region. The Company's full suite of specialized capabilities includes design and engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, post-production and post-sale services. Flex partners with customers across a diverse set of industries including cloud, communications, enterprise, automotive, industrial, consumer devices, lifestyle, healthcare, and energy. As of September 27, 2024, Flex's two operating and reportable segments were as follows: •Flex Agility Solutions ("FAS"), which is comprised of the following end markets: ◦Communications, Enterprise and Cloud, including data infrastructure, edge infrastructure and communications infrastructure ◦Lifestyle, including appliances, consumer packaging, floorcare, micro mobility and audio ◦Consumer Devices, including mobile and high velocity consumer devices. •Flex Reliability Solutions ("FRS"), which is comprised of the following end markets: ◦Automotive, including next generation mobility, autonomous, connectivity, electrification, and smart technologies ◦Health Solutions, including medical devices, medical equipment and drug delivery ◦Industrial, including capital equipment, industrial devices, embedded and critical power offerings and renewables and grid edge. The Company's service offerings include a comprehensive range of value-added design and engineering services that are tailored to the various markets and needs of its customers. Other focused service offerings relate to manufacturing (including enclosures, metals, plastic injection molding, precision plastics, machining, and mechanicals), system integration and assembly and test services, materials procurement, inventory management, logistics and after-sales services (including product repair, warranty services, re-manufacturing and maintenance), supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings (including flexible printed circuit boards and power adapters and chargers). Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended September 27, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The first quarters for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 ended on June 28, 2024, which is comprised of 89 days in the period, and June 30, 2023, which is comprised of 91 days, respectively. The second quarters for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 ended on September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively, which are comprised of 91 days in both periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. For the consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling interest for the ownership of the noncontrolling owners. On January 2, 2024, Flex completed its spin-off (the "Spin-off") of its remaining interest in Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker"). After the Spin-off, Flex no longer consolidates the financial results of Nextracker within its financial results of continuing operations. For all the periods prior to the Spin-off, the financial results of Nextracker are presented as net earnings from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and unless otherwise indicated Flex's disclosures are presented on a continuing operations basis. The historical statements of comprehensive income and cash flows and the balances related to shareholders' equity have not been revised to reflect the Spin-off. See note 6 "Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things: allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory write-downs; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; uncertain tax positions; valuation and useful lives of long-lived assets including property, equipment, and intangible assets; valuation of goodwill; valuation of investments in privately held companies; asset impairments; fair values of financial instruments, notes receivable and derivative instruments; restructuring charges; contingencies; warranty provisions; incremental borrowing rates in determining the present value of lease payments; accruals for potential price adjustments arising from customer contracts; fair values of assets obtained and liabilities assumed in business combinations; and the fair values of restricted share unit awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and other geopolitical conflicts), there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur. Supplier Finance Programs The Company has four supplier finance programs, all of which have substantially similar characteristics, with various financial institutions that act as the paying agent for certain payables of the Company. The Company established these programs through agreements with the financial institutions to enable more efficient payment processing to our suppliers while also providing our suppliers a potential source of liquidity to the extent they choose to sell their receivables to the financial institutions in advance of the due dates. Our suppliers’ participation in the programs is voluntary, the Company is not involved in negotiations of the suppliers’ arrangements with the financial institutions to sell their receivables, and our rights and obligations to our suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these programs. Under these supplier finance programs, the Company pays the financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its participating suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. All payment terms are short-term in nature and are not dependent on whether the suppliers participate in the supplier finance programs or if the suppliers elect to receive early payment from the financial institutions. No guarantees are provided by the Company under the supplier finance programs and the Company incurs no costs related to the programs. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the supplier finance programs. Obligations under these programs are classified within accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the associated payments reflected in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under its supplier finance programs as of September 27, 2024 and March 31, 2024 were $133 million and $123 million, respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements, and intends to adopt the guidance prospectively when it becomes effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements, and intends to adopt the guidance retrospectively when it becomes effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
