ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Flex Ltd., Singapore
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flex Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, noncontrolling interest and shareholders’ equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, redeemable noncontrolling interest and shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 17, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. 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 and healthcare. As of December 31, 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 ("CEC"), 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, 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 nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
The third quarters for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 ended on December 31 of each year and are comprised of 95 and 93 days, respectively. The Company's first three quarters for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 are both comprised of 275 days.
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

Table of Contents
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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028 and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented on its consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures.
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 has assessed the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and intends to adopt the guidance retrospectively with the updated segment disclosures in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Other Current Liabilities
Other current liabilities include customer-related accruals of $226 million and $277 million as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
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 December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 were $127 million and $123 million, respectively.
3. REVENUE
Contract Balances
A contract asset is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue, but not issued an invoice for payment. Contract assets are classified separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and transferred to receivables when rights to payment become unconditional and invoiced.
A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives payments in advance of the satisfaction of performance. Contract liabilities, identified as deferred revenue, were $355 million and $490 million as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, of which $314 million and $449 million, respectively, is included in deferred revenue and customer working capital advances under current liabilities.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense for the 2017 Plan:

| Three-Month Periods Ended |  | Nine-Month Periods Ended

Total share-based compensation expense | $ | 33 |  |  | $ | 26 |  |  | $ | 93 |  |  | $ | 86 |

The 2017 Plan
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted approximately 4.6 million restricted share unit ("RSU") awards. Of this amount, approximately 2.9 million are plain-vanilla unvested RSU awards that vest over a period of three years, with no performance or market conditions, and with an average grant date price of $31.88 per award. In addition, approximately 0.7 million unvested shares represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain performance conditions, and with an average grant date price of $31.04 per award. These performance-based RSUs include awards tied to the Company's adjusted earnings per share growth and awards tied to operating profit goals. The number of shares that will ultimately vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 1.2 million based on the level of achievement of these performance conditions. The awards will cliff vest after a period of one to three years, depending on the specific performance metrics, to the extent such performance conditions have been met. Further, approximately 0.3 million unvested shares represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions. The average grant date fair value of these awards contingent on certain market conditions was estimated to be $42.36 per award and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The number of shares contingent on market conditions that ultimately will vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 0.6 million based on a measurement of the percentile rank of the Company’s total shareholder return over certain specified periods against the Company's peer companies, and will cliff vest after a period of three years, to the extent such market conditions have been met. Finally, the remaining balance of approximately 0.7 million represents the number of shares issued upon the vesting of RSU awards above target levels based on the achievement of certain market and performance conditions for awards granted in fiscal year 2022. These awards were issued and immediately vested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying awards.
As of December 31, 2024, approximately 12.3 million unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.2 million shares is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, and vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.6 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance

conditions. The number of shares tied to market conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 2.4 million based on the achievement levels. The number of shares tied to performance conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 3.0 million based on the achievement levels. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, approximately 1.6 million shares vested in connection with the awards with market and performance conditions granted in fiscal year 2022.
As of December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan was approximately $189 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.0 years.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company enters into short-term and long-term foreign currency derivative contracts, including forward, swap, and options contracts, to hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company's derivative contracts are designed to offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these derivative contracts is minimized since the contracts are with large financial institutions and, accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counterparty financial institutions were not material.
As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $8.1 billion as summarized below:

|  | Notional Contract Value in USD
Currency |  | Buy |  | Sell
|  | (In millions)

Total Notional Contract Value in USD |  | $ | 4,870 |  |  | $ | 3,233 |

As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was included in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as hedges under the accounting standards. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings during the period of change as a component of other charges (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company also has included net deferred gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, relating to changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The deferred loss was $21 million as of December 31, 2024, and is expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve-month period, except for the USD HUF cross currency swaps.
The Company entered into USD HUF cross currency swaps in December 2021 to hedge the foreign currency risk on the HUF bonds due December 2031. The fair value of the cross currency swaps was included in other current assets and other non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024. The changes in fair value of the USD HUF cross currency swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Corresponding amounts are subsequently reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to other charges (income), net to offset the remeasurement of the underlying HUF bond principal, which also impacts the same line.

The Company does not offset fair value amounts for assets and liabilities recognized for derivative instruments under these arrangements, and as such, the asset and liability balances presented in the table above reflect the gross amounts of derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The impact of netting derivative assets and liabilities is not material to the Company’s financial position for any of the periods presented.

Substantially all unrealized gains and losses relating to derivative instruments and other, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to other charges (income), net and cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which primarily relate to the Company’s foreign currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges. The tax impacts on the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $5 million and $7 million, respectively. The tax impacts on the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $16 million and $2 million, respectively.
11. TRADE RECEIVABLES SALES PROGRAMS
The Company sells accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions under factoring programs. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected on accounts where the Company has continuing involvement was approximately $0.7 billion and $0.8 billion as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total accounts receivable sold to certain third-party banking institutions was approximately $3.0 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the cash received was included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. There were no balances classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
The Company’s cash equivalents include bank time deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.
20

Table of Contents
The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees. Amounts deferred under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant's investment manager. The Company's deferred compensation plan assets are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources. These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices. As a result, the Company has classified these investments as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company has accrued for contingent consideration related to its acquisition of JetCool, classified as a level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy due to significant unobservable inputs. Fair value is determined using internal cash flow models that incorporate unobservable inputs, including the probability of achieving performance milestones. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the balances of contingent consideration were $5 million and zero, respectively.
The significant inputs include the Company's probability assessments of expected future revenue during the earn-out periods, associated volatility, and a discount rate reflecting uncertainties in the obligation consistent with the terms of the purchase agreement. Significant decreases in expected revenue, or increases in the discount rate or volatility, would reduce fair value estimates. The interrelationship between these inputs is not considered significant.
During the three-month periods ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were no other additions to the accrual, payments, fair value adjustments, or unrealized gains or losses included in earnings.
There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

13. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE
The Company completed two acquisitions in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, accounted for as business combinations. The results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill. Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results for all periods presented. The Company is in the process of evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to these acquisitions. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisitions. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the respective measurement periods.
Acquisition of Crown
On November 19, 2024, the Company completed the business acquisition of 100% ownership of Crown, a U.S. leader in critical power solutions for a total estimated purchase consideration of $317 million, including cash of $313 million and a $4 million estimate of customary closing adjustments. The acquisition adds complementary capabilities to our existing portfolio in the United States, primarily strengthening our industrial power solutions. Crown is included in the Industrial reporting unit

Customer related assets will be amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of 12.6 years while licensed and other intangibles will be amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of 10.0 years.
Acquisition of JetCool
On November 14, 2024, the Company acquired 100% ownership of JetCool, a provider of liquid cooling solutions tailored for the data center market, for approximately $42 million in cash, a deemed settled pre-existing loan from Flex of approximately $5 million, and $5 million of contingent consideration for a total estimated purchase price of $52 million. Assets acquired totaled $59 million (including approximately $21 million in intangibles and $30 million in goodwill), with $7 million in liabilities assumed in addition to an approximately $5 million estimated liability for contingent consideration. The intangible asset relates to developed technology and will be amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of 6.5 years. JetCool is included in the Communications, Enterprise and Cloud reporting unit within the FAS segment.
Divestiture
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities of one of its European sites as held for sale, following the execution of an agreement to sell the site during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The held for sale balances are reported in other current assets, other non-current assets, other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. A loss of $5 million was recorded in other charges (income), net upon classification as held for sale, in order to reflect the carrying value of the disposed group at the level of expected proceeds. The held for sale balances and expected proceeds are not material to Flex. The transaction is anticipated to close within twelve months.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and other legal matters
In connection with the matters described below, the Company has accrued for loss contingencies where it believes that losses are probable and estimable. Although it is reasonably possible that actual losses could be in excess of the Company’s accrual, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of its accrual, due to various reasons, including, among others, that: (i) the proceedings are in early stages or no claims have been asserted, (ii) specific damages have not been sought in all of these matters, (iii) damages, if asserted, are considered unsupported and/or exaggerated, (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions, or settlements, (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories presented. Any such excess loss could have a
23

Table of Contents
material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period or on the Company’s financial condition.
The Company is currently involved in a commercial dispute related to a construction matter with related production objectives. Management assessed the potential outcomes of this dispute, considered available information, and consulted with legal counsel and as a result of this assessment recognized $50 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 as an accrual. The ultimate resolution of this dispute is uncertain, and the actual outcome may differ from the estimates made by management. Changes in circumstances or additional information may impact the Company’s assessment of its loss and could result in adjustments to the $50 million accrual, however, management currently believes that the resolution of this dispute will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to this matter and will adjust its accrual and disclosures accordingly in future reporting periods as additional information becomes available.
One of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries received six assessments for certain sales and import taxes. Four of the assessments have been successfully definitively defeated. Two remain, where the Company was unsuccessful at the administrative level and filed annulment actions in federal court in Brasilia, Brazil. The first annulment action was filed on March 23, 2020; the updated value of that assessment inclusive of interest and penalties is 37 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $6 million). The second annulment action was filed on September 19, 2023; the updated value of that assessment inclusive of interest and penalties is 60 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $10 million). The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these assessments and will continue to vigorously oppose them, as well as any future assessments. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on any of these claims in the near future.
A foreign Tax Authority (“Tax Authority”) had assessed a cumulative total of approximately $285 million in taxes owed for multiple Flex legal entities within its jurisdiction for various fiscal years ranging from fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2020. The assessed amounts related to the denial of certain deductible intercompany payments and taxability of income earned outside such jurisdiction. In the quarter ended December 31, 2024, approximately $118 million of the approximate $285 million assessment was abated by the Tax Authority, leaving approximately $167 million remaining. The Company disagrees with the Tax Authority’s remaining assessments and is actively contesting the assessments through the administrative and judicial processes.
As the final resolution of the above outstanding tax item remains uncertain, the Company continues to provide for the uncertain tax positions based on the more likely than not standard. While the resolution of the issues may result in tax liabilities, interest and penalties, which may be significantly higher than the amounts accrued for these matters, management currently believes that the resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
15. SHARE REPURCHASES
During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 5.5 million and 30.5 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $201 million and $958 million, respectively, and retired all of these shares.
Under the Company’s current share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of its outstanding ordinary shares for up to $1.7 billion in accordance with the share repurchase mandate approved by the Company’s shareholders at the date of the most recent Annual General Meeting held on August 8, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, shares in the aggregate amount of $1.3 billion were available to be repurchased under the current plan.
16. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company reports its financial performance based on two operating and reportable segments, Flex Agility Solutions and Flex Reliability Solutions, and analyzes operating income as the measure of segment profitability. The determination of these segments is based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics.
An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, customer related asset impairment (recoveries), legal

(1)Legal and other consists of costs not directly related to core business results and including matters relating to commercial disputes, government regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, antitrust, tax, employment or shareholder issues, product liability claims and other issues on a global basis as well as acquisition related costs and asset impairment. During the first three quarters of fiscal year 2025 and 2024, the Company accrued for a $5 million asset impairment and $3 million in loss contingencies where losses were considered probable and estimable, respectively.
(2)Customer related asset impairments (recoveries) may consist of non-cash impairments of property and equipment to estimated fair value for customers from whom we have disengaged or are in the process of disengaging as well as additional provisions for doubtful accounts receivable for customers that are experiencing financial difficulties and inventory that is considered non-recoverable that is written down to net realizable value. In subsequent periods, the Company may recover a portion of the costs previously incurred related to assets impaired or reduced to net realizable value. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $2 million of customer related asset recoveries.
Corporate and other primarily includes corporate service costs that are not included in the chief operating decision maker's ("CODM") assessment of the performance of each of the identified reportable segments.
The Company provides an overall platform of assets and services, which the segments utilize for the benefit of their various customers. The shared assets and services are contained within the Company's global manufacturing and design operations and include manufacturing and design facilities. Most of the underlying manufacturing and design assets are co-mingled in the operating campuses and are compatible to operate across segments and highly interchangeable throughout the platform. Given the highly interchangeable nature of the assets, they are not separately identified by segment nor reported by segment to the Company's CODM.
17. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $12 million and $55 million of restructuring charges, respectively, most of which related to employee severance.

We partner with customers across a diverse set of industries including cloud, communications, enterprise, automotive, industrial, consumer devices, lifestyle and healthcare. As of December 31, 2024, our two operating and reportable segments were as follows:
•Flex Agility Solutions ("FAS"), which is comprised of the following end markets:
◦Communications, Enterprise and Cloud ("CEC"), 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.
Our strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically-integrated global supply chain solutions through which we can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for our customers. This enables our customers to leverage our supply chain solutions to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Over the past few years, we have seen an increased level of diversification by many companies, primarily in the technology sector. Some companies that have historically identified themselves as software providers, Internet service providers or e-commerce retailers have entered the highly competitive and rapidly evolving technology hardware markets, such as mobile devices, home entertainment and wearable devices. This trend has resulted in a significant change in the manufacturing and supply chain solution requirements of such companies. While the products have become more complex, the supply chain solutions required by such companies have become more customized and demanding, and it has changed the manufacturing and supply chain landscape significantly.
We use a portfolio approach to manage our extensive service offerings. As our customers change the way they go to market, we have the capability to reorganize and rebalance our business portfolio in order to align with our customers' needs and requirements in an effort to optimize operating results. The objective of our business model is to allow us to be flexible and redeploy and reposition our assets and resources as necessary to meet specific customers' supply chain solution needs across all the markets we serve and earn a return on our invested capital above the weighted average cost of that capital.

We believe that our strategy is positioning us to take advantage of the long-term, future growth prospects for outsourcing of advanced manufacturing capabilities, design and engineering services and after-market services.
We are continuously evaluating our capital structure in response to the current environment and expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund future commitments. See additional discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.
Update on Component Shortages and Logistical Constraints on our Business
Component shortages experienced in the recent past have largely subsided, however, logistical constraints exist which have increased freight costs. We continue to monitor potential supply chain disruptions, including as a result of emerging and evolving geopolitical conflicts and tensions. Refer to “Risk Factors - Supply chain disruptions, manufacturing interruptions or delays, or the failure to accurately forecast customer demand, have in the past affected, and may in the future affect, our ability to meet customer demand, lead to higher costs, or result in excess or obsolete inventory.” and “- Global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, currency volatility, slower growth or recession, higher interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty (including arising from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war) and instability in financial markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and access to capital markets.” as disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Russian Invasion of Ukraine and Israel-Hamas War
We continue to monitor and respond to the conflict in Ukraine and the associated sanctions and other restrictions. We also are monitoring and responding to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas war. As of the date of this report, there is no material impact to our business operations and financial performance in Ukraine and Israel. The full impact of the conflicts on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflicts and their impact on regional and global economic conditions. We will continue to monitor the conflicts and assess the related restrictions and other effects and pursue prudent decisions for our team members, customers, and business.

We believe that the combination of our extensive open innovation platform solutions, design and engineering services, advanced supply chain management solutions and services, significant scale and global presence, and manufacturing campuses in low-cost geographic areas provide us with a competitive advantage and strong differentiation in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing consumer and enterprise products for leading multinational and regional customers. Specifically, we offer our customers the ability to simplify their global product development, manufacturing process, and after-sales services, and enable them to meaningfully accelerate their time to market and cost savings.
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
•global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, currency volatility, slower growth or recession, higher interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty (including arising from ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war);
29

Table of Contents
•the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number, size, and complexity of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, and other factors;
•changes in trade regulations and treaties, trade policies and tariffs, the potential impacts of which, including increased cost of goods sold, decreased margins, increased pricing for customers, and reduced demand, we may be unable to mitigate depending on their scope and duration;
•the impacts on our business due to supply chain issues, including transportation disruptions, increased freight costs, and other constraints;
•the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance;
•our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our customers;
•the effects on our business due to certain customers' products having short product lifecycles, our customers' ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities or locations, the short-term nature of our customers' commitments and rapid changes in demand;
•the effects that current credit and market conditions (including as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war) could have on the liquidity and financial condition of our customers and suppliers, including any impact on their ability to meet their contractual obligations;
•integration of acquired businesses and facilities;
•increased labor costs due to adverse labor conditions in the markets we operate;
•changes in tax legislation; and
•exposure to infectious disease, epidemics and pandemics on our business operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak and on the business operations of our customers and suppliers.
We are also subject to other risks as outlined in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war), there has been and we expect there will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We have made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and other geopolitical conflicts. 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.
Refer to the accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net sales
The following table sets forth our net sales by segment, and their relative percentages (the sum of the individual percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding):

| Three-Month Periods Ended |  | Nine-Month Periods Ended
| December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
| (In millions)
Net sales: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Flex Agility Solutions | $ | 3,599 |  |  | 55 | % |  | $ | 3,465 |  |  | 54 | % |  | $ | 10,570 |  |  | 54 | % |  | $ | 10,684 |  |  | 53 | %
Flex Reliability Solutions | 2,957 |  |  | 45 | % |  | 2,956 |  |  | 46 | % |  | 8,845 |  |  | 46 | % |  | 9,562 |  |  | 47 | %

Net sales during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 totaled $6.6 billion, representing an increase of approximately $0.1 billion, or 2% from $6.4 billion during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. Net sales for our FAS segment increased approximately $0.1 billion or 4% from the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by a mid single-digit percentage increase in our CEC business as a result of higher demand in cloud and a high teen percentage increase in our Consumer Devices business, partially offset by a low single-digit decrease in our Lifestyle business due to softer demand. Net sales for our FRS segment remained relatively flat from the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily driven by a mid single-digit percentage decrease in our Automotive business due to lower customer demand, which was offset by low single-digit percentage increases in both our Health Solutions and Industrial businesses, driven by continued strength in medical devices and data center power. Net sales decreased $8 million to $2.0 billion in Asia, increased $28 million to $1.4 billion in Europe, and increased $0.1 billion to $3.2 billion in the Americas.
31

Net sales during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 totaled $19.4 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $0.8 billion, or 4% from $20.2 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023. Net sales for our FAS segment decreased approximately $0.1 billion, or 1% from the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by a low single-digit percentage decrease in our CEC business from softer demand in our non-cloud businesses and a mid single-digit percentage decrease in our Lifestyle business due to softer demand, partially offset by an increase in our Consumer Devices business due to higher demand. Net sales for our FRS segment decreased approximately $0.7 billion, or 7% from the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by a low double digit percentage decrease in our Industrial business, along with low single-digit percentage decreases in both our Automotive and Health Solutions businesses, due to lower customer demand. The factors described above that decreased FAS and FRS revenues were partially offset by the impact of certain customer arrangements transitioning from point in time to over time revenue recognition. This transition also contributed to an increase in contract assets as of December 31, 2024. The impact of certain customers arrangements transitioning to over time revenue increased net sales by less than 2% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024. Net sales decreased $0.8 billion to $5.9 billion in Asia, decreased $0.1 billion to $4.1 billion in Europe, and increased $0.1 billion to $9.4 billion in the Americas.
Our ten largest customers during the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 accounted for approximately 45% and 44% of net sales, respectively. Our ten largest customers during the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 accounted for approximately 39% and 37% of net sales, respectively. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three or nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, labor cost fluctuations by region, component costs and availability and capacity utilization.
Cost of sales during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 totaled $6.0 billion, representing an increase of approximately $25 million, or 0.4% from $5.9 billion during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. The higher cost of sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by a $0.1 billion or 2% increase in consolidated sales, partially offset by cost efficiencies and favorable mix. Cost of sales in our FAS segment for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 increased approximately $70 million, or 2% from the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, due to higher revenues in our CEC and Consumer Devices businesses net of favorable mix and FAS cost efficiencies. Cost of sales in our FRS segment for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $44 million, or 2% from the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, on relatively flat revenue due to favorable mix and cost efficiencies.
Cost of sales during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 totaled $17.8 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $1.0 billion, or 5% from $18.7 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023. The lower cost of sales for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by decreased consolidated sales of $0.8 billion or 4% and favorable mix and cost efficiencies. Cost of sales in our FAS segment for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $0.3 billion, or 3% from the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, which is consistent with a 1% decrease in FAS revenue during the same period combined with favorable mix and cost efficiencies. Cost of sales in our FRS segment for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $0.7 billion, or 8% from the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, which is consistent with a 7% decrease in FRS revenue during the same period.
Gross profit
Gross profit is affected by fluctuations in cost of sales elements as outlined above and further by a number of factors, including product lifecycles, unit volumes, product mix, pricing, competition, new product introductions, and the expansion or consolidation of manufacturing facilities, as well as specific restructuring activities initiated from time to time. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to manufacture a broad range of products in our facilities and better utilize our manufacturing capacity across our diverse geographic footprint and service customers from all markets. In the case of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin for these programs often improves over time as manufacturing volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improve, and as we increase the level of manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.
Gross profit during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 increased $0.2 billion to $0.6 billion, or 9.1% of net sales, from $0.4 billion, or 6.7% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin improved 240 basis points during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to favorable mix and continued operational execution.
32

Gross profit during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 increased $0.2 billion to $1.6 billion, or 8.2% of net sales, from $1.4 billion, or 7.1% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin improved 110 basis points during the same period due to the same factors noted above in the three-month period discussion.
Segment income
An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, customer related asset impairment (recoveries), legal and other, interest expense, and other charges (income), net. A portion of depreciation is allocated to the respective segments, together with other general corporate research and development and administrative expenses.
The following table sets forth segment income and margins. Segment margins in the table below may not recalculate exactly due to rounding.

| Three-Month Periods Ended |  | Nine-Month Periods Ended
| December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
| (In millions)
Segment income: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Flex Agility Solutions | $ | 227 |  |  | 6.3 | % |  | $ | 175 |  |  | 5.1 | % |  | $ | 624 |  |  | 5.9 | % |  | $ | 488 |  |  | 4.6 | %
Flex Reliability Solutions | 198 |  |  | 6.7 | % |  | 159 |  |  | 5.4 | % |  | 504 |  |  | 5.7 | % |  | 495 |  |  | 5.2 | %

FAS segment margin increased approximately 120 basis points to 6.3% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, and 130 basis points to 5.9% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to 5.1% and 4.6%, respectively, in the prior-year periods, primarily driven by continued mix improvement and strong cost execution.
FRS segment margin increased approximately 130 basis points to 6.7% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, and 50 basis points to 5.7% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to 5.4% and 5.2%, respectively, in the prior-year periods, primarily driven by favorable mix and strong cost execution.
Restructuring charges
We committed to targeted restructuring activities to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce capacity. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, we recognized approximately $12 million and $55 million of restructuring charges, respectively, primarily related to employee severance.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was approximately $0.2 billion, or 3.7% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, increasing $36 million from approximately $0.2 billion or 3.2% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. SG&A was $0.7 billion, or 3.5% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, increasing $9 million from $0.7 billion or 3.3% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023. The increase in SG&A is largely attributed to variable costs associated with improved financial performance.
Intangible amortization
Amortization of intangible assets remained relatively flat at $17 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, amortization decreased to $49 million from $54 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to certain intangibles now being fully amortized.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased to $57 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, from $50 million in the prior year, driven by a new debt issuance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, interest expense increased to $166 million from $155 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher short-term borrowings and the new debt issuance, partially offset by savings from debt repurchases and repayments.
Interest income
Interest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, increased to $16 million compared to $13 million for the same period in 2023. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, interest income increased to $48 million compared to $44 million in the prior year. These results remain consistent with the equivalent prior year periods, reflecting higher average cash balances.
33

Other charges (income), net
Other charges (income), net was $5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 compared to an expense of $9 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange partially offset by losses on classification of a business held for sale.
Other charges (income), net was $2 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 compared to an expense of $34 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by lower foreign exchange transaction losses and a gain from a Nextracker tax receivable agreement payment, partially offset by losses upon the classification of a business held for sale and on certain non-core equity method investments in the current period.
Income taxes
Certain of our subsidiaries, at various times, have been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. Refer to note 15, “Income Taxes” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 for further discussion.
The consolidated effective tax rate was 9% and 17% for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, and 15% and 13% for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The effective rate varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17% as a result of recognition of earnings in different jurisdictions (we generate most of our revenues and profits from operations outside of Singapore), operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, release of previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, liabilities for uncertain tax positions, as well as the effects of certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Israel. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 was significantly lower than the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the recognition of approximately $26 million of interest recoverable on prior periods taxes paid by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries. The right to receive the interest became unconditional during the period. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 was higher than the effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to the tax accrual required for our U.S. tax group after the U.S. tax group valuation allowance release in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and the recognition of a withholding tax accrual on the undistributed earnings of our Chinese subsidiaries due to the decision in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 to not indefinitely reinvest our China earnings in China.
The OECD Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) model rules, issued under the OECD Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, introduce a global minimum tax of 15% applicable to multinational enterprise groups with consolidated financial statement revenue in excess of €750 million. Numerous foreign jurisdictions have already enacted tax legislation based on the GloBE rules, with some effective as early as January 1, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we recognized a nominal income tax expense for Pillar Two GloBE minimum tax. The Company is continuously monitoring the evolving application of this legislation and assessing its potential impact on our future tax liability.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted into law, which includes a new corporate minimum tax, a stock repurchase excise tax, numerous green energy credits, other tax provisions, and significantly increased enforcement resources. While detailed regulations on some aspects of the act are still outstanding, we do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements from these provisions.
Net income from continuing operations
Net income from continuing operations was $263 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to $129 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023; net income from continuing operations was $616 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 compared to $477 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, driven by the factors discussed above.
Net income from discontinued operations
Net income from discontinued operations was zero during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to $104 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023; net income from discontinued operations was zero during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 compared to $373 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, as Nextracker was spun off during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was zero during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to $36 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023; net income attribute to noncontrolling
34

interest was zero during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 compared to $239 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, as Nextracker was spun off during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We continuously evaluate our ability to meet our obligations over the next 12 months and beyond and proactively reset our capital structure to improve maturities and liquidity. We expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund current and future commitments. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.3 billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $3.7 billion. We have a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility that is due to mature in July 2027, under which we had no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2024. We also issued $500 million of 5.250% Notes due January 2032 (the "2032 Senior Notes") in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under all of our credit facilities and indentures; we also expect to remain in compliance with the covenants in the upcoming 12 months for our credit facilities and indentures.
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased approximately $53 million of our 4.750% Notes due June 2025 under our 10b5-1 bond buyback program, resulting in an immaterial gain on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by $0.6 billion of net income for the period plus $0.5 billion of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation.
We believe net working capital is a key metric that measures our liquidity. Net working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Net working capital decreased approximately $0.8 billion to $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2024, from $4.5 billion as of March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of the effect of a $0.5 billion increase in current liabilities as a result of growth in short-term debt of $0.5 billion and accounts payable of $0.6 billion offset in part by reductions in working capital advances. In addition, current assets decreased by $0.2 billion as a result of decreases in inventory offset in part by growth in contract assets and accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024. This was primarily driven by $0.3 billion of cash paid for the acquisitions of Crown Technical Systems and JETCOOL Technologies Inc. in November 2024, net of cash acquired, and $0.3 billion of net capital expenditures for property and equipment to continue expanding capabilities and capacity in support of primarily our Automotive, CEC, and Industrial businesses.
We believe adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. Our adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operations, less net purchases of property and equipment allowing us to present adjusted cash flows on a consistent basis for investors. Our adjusted free cash flow for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was an inflow of $0.8 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively. Adjusted free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

| Nine-Month Periods Ended
| December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
| (In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 1,072 |  |  | $ | 647 |
Purchases of property and equipment | (326) |  |  | (449) |
Proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment | 11 |  |  | 21 |
Adjusted free cash flow | $ | 757 |  |  | $ | 219 |

Cash used by financing activities was $0.5 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily driven by $1.0 billion of cash paid for the repurchase of our ordinary shares offset by $0.5 billion of proceeds from the issuance of the 2032 Senior Notes.
Our cash balances are generated and held in numerous locations throughout the world. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances; however, any current restrictions are not material. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization. We believe that our
35

existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months and beyond. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, approximately 78% and 55%, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries outside of Singapore. Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income tax withholdings. We provide for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately $0.7 billion as of March 31, 2024). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment; however, for the majority of our foreign entities, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of Singapore and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations in jurisdictions outside of where they are held. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.
Future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, and the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders.
We maintain a commercial paper program which provides short-term financing under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
Historically, we have funded operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings. We may enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and anticipated growth as needed.
The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations and could increase debt service obligations. This increased indebtedness could limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit ratings, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy. Any downgrades in credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to borrow as a result of more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares.
Under our current share repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorized repurchases of our outstanding ordinary shares for up to $1.7 billion in accordance with the share purchase mandate approved by our shareholders at the date of the most recent Annual General Meeting which was held on August 8, 2024. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, we paid $958 million to repurchase shares under the current and prior repurchase plans at an average price of $31.36 per share. As of December 31, 2024, shares in the aggregate amount of $1.3 billion were available to be repurchased under the current plan.
