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, 2025 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The third quarters for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 ended on December 31 of each year and are comprised of 96 and 95 days, respectively. The first three quarters for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 are comprised of 275 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. 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; valuation of warrants, and the fair values of restricted share unit awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to global economic conditions, including the impact of ongoing trade conflicts and tariffs, and geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, 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 foregoing factors. 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. Impact of Missile Strike in Ukraine During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $5 million and $46 million, respectively, in asset impairments, inventory write-downs and other charges as a result of a missile strike on its Mukachevo, Ukraine facility in Western Ukraine on August 21, 2025. The total $46 million expense includes $23 million of long-lived asset impairments, $13 million of inventory write-downs and $10 million of other charges. The missile strike represents an unusual and infrequent event as hostilities related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have been primarily focused in Eastern Ukraine. The missile strike caused substantial physical damage and disrupted normal operations at the facility. In response, the Company activated contingency manufacturing plans and transitioned production to alternative facilities. As restoration activities progress in Mukachevo, the Company expects to incur additional immaterial near-term inefficiencies. The total $46 million expense is included in restructuring and impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 income 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 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. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 on the same topic to clarify the amendments for ASU 2024-03 are effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 "Government Grants (Topic 832)", which establishes comprehensive guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. 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 first quarter of fiscal year 2030. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12 "Codification Improvements", which includes numerous refinements and enhancements, including clarifications on the accounting for the retirement of treasury stock among others. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the method of adoption and impact on the Company's disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets", which provides for the use of a new practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company, and has been adopted, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. |
