On page 11 of your 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, you identified Huawei as a key customer in your CEC segment. Huawei and some its affiliates appear on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List because of certain activities with Iran, which is also designated as a state sponsor of terrorism. Recent articles have discussed this ban on Huawei and its impact on you, including several articles that attributed a reduction in your workforce in China to this ban. A transcript of a June Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Technology Conference quotes an analyst as stating that the bank has been getting investor questions about Huawei and its impact on you. Please discuss the potential for reputational harm from your relationship with Huawei. In this regard, we note that recent news articles have reported that Huawei may have secretly helped the North Korean government build its commercial wireless network, which it may have used to spy on people, and that helping to build the network may have violated U.S. export controls. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Free Cash Flow, page 47 3. Please revise to label the measure "adjusted free cash flow." We refer you to Question 102.07 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations for Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Similar concerns apply to your earnings releases furnished on Form 8-K and to the presentations on your website. Form 8-K Furnished on July 25, 2019 Exhibit 99.1 4. Your presentation of the "adjusted net cash provided by operating activities" subtotal in your reconciliation to free cash flow implies that collections of deferred purchase price receivables are operating rather than investing cash flows. This results in a commingling of operating and investing cash flow results, which may not comply with Regulation G. Accordingly, please remove this subtotal from your reconciliation as well as all related references to it in your narrative. Similar concerns apply to the earnings release slide decks and summary financials schedules on your website. 5. We note your presentation of Free Cash Flow Conversion in your summary financials schedules on your website. Please revise to also present this measure on a GAAP basis in accordance with Rule 100(a) of Regulation G. Christopher Collier FLEX LTD.
