PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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 June 30, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, redeemable noncontrolling interest and shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, 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 Flex Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023 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 19, 2023, 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, 2023 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

The 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 the 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.

The Company also provides intelligent, integrated solar tracker and software solutions used in utility-scale and ground-mounted distributed generation solar projects around the world.

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, 2023 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-month period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as in the Notes thereto, have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The first quarters for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 ended on June 30, 2023, which is comprised of 91 days in the period, and July 1, 2022, which is comprised of 92 days, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. A controlling financial interest may also exist in variable interest entities (“VIEs”), through governance provisions and arrangements to provide services to VIEs.

9

The Company is required to consolidate a VIE of which it is the primary beneficiary. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates whether it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of VIEs that are consolidated. For the consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling interest for the ownership of the noncontrolling owners. As of June 30, 2023, we presented noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets, reflecting the equity held by other parties. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to Flex Ltd. and the noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 stock options and restricted share unit awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), 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. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations", which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the buyer should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The amendments in this update do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance program. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information which is effective in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance retrospectively during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, including a rollforward of changes in those obligations, with immaterial impacts on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 date. 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

3.  REVENUE 

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides a comprehensive suite of services for its customers that range from advanced product design to manufacturing and logistics to after-sales services. The first step in its process for revenue recognition is to identify a contract with a customer. A contract is defined as an agreement between two parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and can be written, verbal, or implied. The Company generally enters into master supply agreements (“MSAs”) with its customers that provide the framework under which business will be conducted. This includes matters such as warranty, indemnification, transfer of title and risk of loss, liability for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing formulas, payment terms, etc., and the level of business under those agreements may not be guaranteed. In those instances, the Company bids on a program-by-program basis and typically receives customer purchase orders for specific quantities and timing of products. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the MSA and the purchase order, or any other similar documents such as a statement of work, product addendum, emails or other communications that embody the commitment by the customer.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following steps: (i) identifies the contracts with the customers; (ii) identifies performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Further, the Company assesses whether control of the products or services promised under the contract are transferred to the customer at a point in time (PIT) or over time (OT). The Company is first required to evaluate whether its contracts meet the criteria for OT recognition. The Company has determined that for a portion of its contracts the Company is manufacturing products for which there is no alternative use (due to the unique nature of the customer-specific product and intellectual property restrictions) and the Company has an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit for work-in-progress inventory with respect to these contracts. For certain other contracts, the Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs under the contract. As a result, revenue is recognized under these contracts OT based on the cost-to-cost method as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For all other contracts that do not meet these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred control of the related manufactured products which generally occurs upon delivery and passage of title to the customer.

12

Customer Contracts and Related Obligations

Certain of the Company’s customer agreements include potential price adjustments which may result in variable consideration. These price adjustments include, but are not limited to, sharing of cost savings, committed price reductions, material margins earned over the period that are contractually required to be paid to the customers, rebates, refunds tied to performance metrics such as on-time delivery, and other periodic pricing resets that may be refundable to customers. The Company estimates the variable consideration related to these price adjustments as part of the total transaction price and recognizes revenue in accordance with the pattern applicable to the performance obligation, subject to a constraint. The Company constrains the amount of revenues recognized for these contractual provisions based on its best estimate of the amount which will not result in a significant reversal of revenue in a future period. The Company determines the amounts to be recognized based on the amount of potential refunds required by the contract, historical experience and other surrounding facts and circumstances. Often these obligations are settled with the customer in a period after shipment through various methods which include reduction of prices for future purchases, issuance of a payment to the customer, or issuance of a credit note applied against the customer’s accounts receivable balance. In many instances, the agreement is silent on the settlement mechanism. Any difference between the amount accrued for potential refunds and the actual amount agreed to with the customer is recorded as an increase or decrease in revenue. These potential price adjustments are included as part of other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and disclosed as part of customer-related accruals in note 2.

Performance Obligations

The Company derives its revenues primarily from manufacturing services, and to a lesser extent, from innovative design, engineering, and supply chain services and solutions.

A performance obligation is an implicitly or explicitly promised good or service that is material in the context of the contract and is both capable of being distinct (customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources) and distinct within the context of the contract (separately identifiable from other promises). The Company considers all activities typically included in its contracts, and identifies those activities representing a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer. These include, but are not limited to, design and engineering services, prototype products, tooling, etc. Each promised good or service with regards to these identified activities is accounted for as a separate performance obligation only if it is distinct - i.e., the customer can benefit from it on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Certain activities on the other hand are determined not to constitute a promise to transfer goods or service, and therefore do not represent separate performance obligations for revenue recognition (e.g., procurement of materials and standard workmanship warranty).

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual good or service is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and is, therefore, not distinct. Promised goods or services that are immaterial in the context of the contract are not separately assessed as performance obligations. In the event that more than one performance obligation is identified in a contract, the Company is required to allocate the transaction price between the performance obligations. The allocation would generally be performed on the basis of a relative standalone price for each distinct good or service. This standalone price most often represents the price that the Company would sell similar goods or services separately.

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.

A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives payments in advance of the satisfaction of performance. Contract liabilities, identified as deferred revenue, were $897 million and $885 million as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, of which $802 million and $795 million, respectively, is included in deferred revenue and customer working capital advances under current liabilities.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated based on timing of transfer, point in time or over time, for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively.

4.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plans

Flex historically maintains stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. The Company's primary plan used for granting equity compensation awards is the Company's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"). During the fiscal year 2023, Nextracker granted equity compensation awards to Nextracker employees under the 2022 Nextracker Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Nextracker Plan"), which is administered by Nextracker, a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans:

	Three-Month Periods Ended
	June 30, 2023		July 1, 2022
	(In millions)
Cost of sales	$	9	$	7
Selling, general and administrative expenses	32		19
Total share-based compensation expense	$	41	$	26

Total number of options outstanding and exercisable were immaterial as of June 30, 2023. All options have been fully expensed as of June 30, 2023.

The 2017 Plan

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 4.8 million restricted share unit ("RSU") awards. Of this amount, approximately 3.0 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 $26.81 per award. In addition, approximately 0.4 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 $26.72 per award. The number of shares contingent on performance conditions that ultimately will vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 0.8 million based

14

on a measurement of the Company's adjusted earnings per share growth over certain specified periods, and will cliff vest after a period of three years, to the extent such performance conditions have been met. Further, approximately 0.4 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 $35.64 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 0.8 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 1.2 million represents the number of shares issued upon vesting of RSU awards above target levels based on the achievement of certain market conditions for awards granted in the fiscal year 2021. These awards were issued and immediately vested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying awards.

As of June 30, 2023, approximately 12.6 million unvested RSU awards under the 2017 plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 1.3 million shares is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, and vesting for a targeted amount of 1.3 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 2.6 million based on the achievement levels. The number of shares tied to performance conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to 2.6 million based on the achievement levels. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, 2.3 million shares vested in connection with the awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2021.

As of June 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan, was approximately $237 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.4 years.

The 2022 Nextracker Plan

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, Nextracker awarded 1.1 million equity-based compensation awards to its employees under the 2022 Nextracker Plan, which included approximately 0.5 million option awards, 0.5 million RSU ("NRSU") awards and 0.1 million performance-based restricted share unit ("NPSU") awards. Vesting for the awards granted under the 2022 Nextracker Plan is contingent upon continued employee service and certain performance conditions.

As of June 30, 2023, approximately 5.8 million unvested options awards, NRSU awards, and NPSU awards under the 2022 Nextracker Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 3.8 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance conditions. 

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards under the 2022 Nextracker Plan was approximately $61 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years. Approximately $8 million of expense was recognized for equity-based compensation awards granted under the 2022 Nextracker Plan for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

8.  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.

17

As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $11.3 billion as summarized below: 

	Notional Contract  Value in USD
Currency	Buy		Sell
Cash Flow Hedges
HUF	$	446	$	—
MXN	566		—
Other	649		37
	1,661		37

Other	655		575
	5,082		4,521
Total Notional Contract Value in USD	$	6,743	$	4,558

As of June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, 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 gain was $27 million as of June 30, 2023, 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, and the fair value of the cross currency swaps was included in current and long-term other liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. The changes in fair value of the USD HUF cross currency swaps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, corresponding amounts are 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.

18

The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes:

	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
	Asset Derivatives					Liability Derivatives
		Fair Value					Fair Value
	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023
	(In millions)
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	Other current assets	$	60	$	46	Other current liabilities	$	15	$	22
Foreign currency contracts	Other assets	$	—	$	—	Other liabilities	$	17	$	88
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	Other current assets	$	39	$	26	Other current liabilities	$	47	$	19

The Company has financial instruments subject to master netting arrangements, which provide for the net settlement of all contracts with certain counterparties. The Company does not offset fair value amounts for assets and liabilities recognized for derivative instruments under these arrangements, 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. 

9.  ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS 

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, are as follows: 

	Three-Month Periods Ended
	June 30, 2023						July 1, 2022
	Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other		Foreign currency translation adjustments		Total		Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other		Foreign currency translation adjustments		Total
	(In millions)
Beginning balance	$	(14)	$	(180)	$	(194)	$	(66)	$	(116)	$	(182)
Other comprehensive gains (loss) before reclassifications	101		(9)		92		(79)		(68)		(147)
Net (gains) loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss	(67)		—		(67)		78		(3)		75

Ending balance	$	20	$	(189)	$	(169)	$	(67)	$	(187)	$	(254)

Substantially all unrealized gains and losses relating to derivative instruments and other, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 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 June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 were $2 million and $4 million tax benefits, respectively.

10.  TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION

The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and an accounts receivable factoring program. 

19

Asset-Backed Securitization Programs 

The Company historically has engaged in asset-backed securitization programs (the “ABS Programs”), selling trade receivables to affiliated special purpose entities and then to unaffiliated financial institutions. Upon the sale of the receivables from the special purpose entities to the unaffiliated financial institutions, the receivables are derecognized from our consolidated balance sheet as effective control of the transferred receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which have the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Accounts receivable sold under the ABS Programs are included as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flow. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, no accounts receivable were sold under the ABS Programs.

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

The Company also sells accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected on accounts where the Company has continuing involvement was approximately $0.8 billion and $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, total accounts receivable sold to certain third-party banking institutions was approximately $0.8 billion and $0.8 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. 

11.  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 June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. 

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. 

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 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. 

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022.

The Notes due June 2025, February 2026, January 2028, June 2029 and May 2030 are valued based on broker trading prices in active markets. HUF Bonds and Nextracker Term Loan due February 2028 are valued based on the broker trading prices in an inactive market.

The Delayed Draw Term Loan due November 2023 bears interest at floating interest rates, and therefore, as of June 30, 2023, the carrying amounts approximate fair values.

12.  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 material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period or on the Company’s financial condition.

One of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries has received assessments for certain sales and import taxes. There were originally six tax assessments totaling the updated amount inclusive of interest and penalties of 419 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $86 million based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2023). The Company successfully defeated one of the six assessments in September 2019 (totaling approximately 61 million Brazilian reals or USD $13 million). The Company successfully defeated another three of the assessments in September 2022 (totaling the updated amount inclusive of interest and penalties of approximately 261 million Brazilian reals or USD $54 million), each of which remains subject to appeal. The Company was unsuccessful at the administrative level for one of the assessments and filed an annulment action in federal court in Brasilia, Brazil on March 23, 2020; the updated value of that assessment inclusive of interest and penalties is 41 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $8 million). One of the assessments remains in the review process at the administrative level. The Company believes there is no legal basis for any of these assessments and that it has meritorious defenses. The Company will continue to vigorously oppose all of these assessments, as well as any future assessments. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on any of these claims in the near future.

On February 14, 2019, the Company submitted an initial notification of voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") regarding possible noncompliance with U.S. economic sanctions requirements among certain non-U.S. Flex-affiliated operations. On September 28, 2020, the Company made a submission to OFAC that completed the Company’s voluntary disclosure based on the results of an internal investigation regarding the matter. On June 11, 2021, the Company notified OFAC that it had identified possible additional relevant transactions at one non-U.S. Flex-affiliated operation. The Company submitted an update to OFAC on November 16, 2021 reporting on the results of its review of those transactions. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with OFAC in this matter going forward. Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be subject to penalties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A foreign Tax Authority (“Tax Authority”) has assessed a cumulative total of approximately $221 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. The Company disagrees with the Tax Authority’s 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 adverse 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.

13.  SHARE REPURCHASES 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 8.7 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $197 million, 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 $1.0 billion in accordance with the share repurchase mandate approved by the Company’s

22

shareholders at the date of the most recent Annual General Meeting held on August 25, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, shares in the aggregate amount of $697 million were available to be repurchased under the current plan.

14.  SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company reports its financial performance based on three operating and reportable segments, Flex Agility Solutions, Flex Reliability Solutions and Nextracker, 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, legal and other, and interest, net 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.

Selected financial information by segment is in the table below.

	Three-Month Periods Ended

(1)Legal and other consists of costs not directly related to core business results and may include 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 customer related asset recoveries. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company accrued for certain loss contingencies where losses are considered probable and estimable.

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.

15.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

The Company continued to identify certain structural changes to restructure its business throughout the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $23 million of restructuring charges, most of which related to employee severance.

The following table summarizes the provisions, respective payments, and remaining accrued balance as of June 30, 2023 for charges incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023:

16. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company controls Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker") through its holding of Class B common stock that does not participate in the earnings of Nextracker. As such, the shareholders of the equity at risk in Nextracker (the Class A common stock shareholders) do not have the power to direct the key activities of Nextracker and consequently Nextracker is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company has the ability to control Nextracker's activities through its control of 61.2% and 61.4% of the voting rights of Nextracker as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company also has the ability to receive significant benefits from the VIE (through its ability to convert its investments in Nextracker and Nextracker LLC into Class A common stock of Nextracker or cash) and as such the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, the Company continues to consolidate Nextracker and the interests in Nextracker held by third parties are presented as a noncontrolling interest. Evaluation of the VIE model and identification of the primary beneficiary requires significant judgements to be made regarding which entities can control the activities of a VIE, who can receive benefits or absorb losses from the VIE and the significance of those benefits and losses to the VIE.

As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, noncontrolling interest was $380 million and $355 million, respectively. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $25 million and zero for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. As a result of the Nextracker's February 13, 2023 initial public offering ("IPO"), the noncontrolling interest previously determined to be redeemable prior to the IPO did not exist as of June 30, 2023. Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was zero and $6 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively.

24

The carrying amounts and classification of the VIE's external assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 3, 2023, the Company's subsidiary Nextracker completed a follow-on offering to its IPO, which was completed on February 13, 2023, and issued 15,631,562 shares of Class A common stock and received net proceeds of $551 million. The entire net proceeds were used by Nextracker to acquire 14,025,000 Nextracker LLC common units from Yuma, Inc., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and 1,606,562 Nextracker LLC common units from TPG Rise Flash, L.P., an affiliate of the global alternative asset management firm TPG. As a result of the repurchase of Nextracker LLC common units by Nextracker, 15,631,562 shares of Nextracker Class B common stock were cancelled. Subsequent to the follow-on offering, Flex owned 74,432,619 shares of Class B common stock, representing 51.5% of the total outstanding shares of Nextracker common stock and, accordingly, still controls Nextracker. The Company received approximately $495 million from the follow-on offering, after distribution of net proceeds to TPG and expenses.

OVERVIEW

We are the diversified manufacturing partner of choice that helps market-leading brands design, build and deliver innovative products that improve the world. Through the collective strength of a global workforce across approximately 30 countries with responsible, sustainable operations, we support the entire product lifecycle with advanced manufacturing solutions and operate one of the most trusted global supply chains. We also provide additional value to customers through a broad array of services, including design engineering, component services, rapid prototyping, fulfillment, and circular economy solutions. We support a diverse set of industries including cloud, communications, enterprise, automotive, industrial, consumer devices, lifestyle, healthcare, and energy. As of June 30, 2023, our three 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, and renewables and grid edge.

•Nextracker, the leading provider of intelligent, integrated solar tracker and software solutions used in utility-scale and ground-mounted distributed generation solar projects around the world. Nextracker's products enable solar panels to follow the sun’s movement across the sky and optimize plant performance.

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.

26

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 continued business transformation is strategically 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.

Update on Component Shortages and Logistical Constraints on our Business

Component shortages and logistical constraints improved as the year progressed, however, we continue to see constraints in large-node semiconductors. We continue to monitor potential supply chain disruptions. 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. We have been and continue to be adversely affected by supply chain issues, including shortages of required electronic components.” as disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

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.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

We continue to monitor and respond to the escalating conflict in Ukraine and the associated sanctions and other restrictions. As of the date of this report, there is no material impact to our business operations and financial performance in Ukraine. The full impact of the conflict on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflict and its impact on regional and global economic conditions. We will continue to monitor the conflict and assess the related restrictions and other effects and pursue prudent decisions for our team members, customers, and business.

Other Developments

On July 3, 2023, our subsidiary Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker") completed a follow-on offering to its initial public offering, which was completed on February 13, 2023, and issued 15,631,562 shares of Class A common stock and received net proceeds of $551 million. The entire net proceeds were used by Nextracker to acquire 14,025,000 Nextracker LLC common units from Yuma, Inc., our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and 1,606,562 Nextracker LLC common units from TPG Rise Flash, L.P., an affiliate of the global alternative asset management firm TPG. As a result of the repurchase of Nextracker LLC common units by Nextracker, 15,631,562 shares of Nextracker Class B common stock were cancelled. Subsequent to the follow-on offering, we owned 74,432,619 shares of Class B common stock, representing 51.5% of the total outstanding shares of Nextracker common stock and, accordingly, still controls Nextracker. We received approximately $495 million from the follow-on offering, after distribution of net proceeds to TPG and expenses.

Business Overview

We are one of the world's largest providers of global supply chain solutions, with revenues of $7.3 billion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 and $30.3 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. We have established an extensive network of manufacturing facilities in the world's major consumer and enterprise markets (Asia, the Americas, and Europe) to serve the growing outsourcing needs of both multinational and regional customers. We design, build, ship, and service consumer and enterprise products for our customers through a network of over 100 facilities in approximately 30 countries across four continents. We also provide intelligent, integrated solar tracker and software solutions used in utility-scale and ground-mounted distributed generation solar projects around the world. The following tables set forth the relative percentages and dollar amounts of net sales by region and by country, and net property and equipment by country, based on the location of our manufacturing sites:

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 the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine);

28

•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;

•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 that current credit and market conditions (including as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine) could have on the liquidity and financial condition of our customers and suppliers, including any impact on their ability to meet their contractual obligations;

•the impacts on our business due to component shortages, disruptions in transportation or other supply chain related constraints;

•exposure to infectious disease, epidemics and pandemics on our business operations in geographic locations impacted by the outbreak and on the business operations of our customers and suppliers;

•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;

•our customers' decisions to choose internal manufacturing instead of outsourcing for their product requirements;

•integration of acquired businesses and facilities;

•increased labor costs due to adverse labor conditions in the markets we operate;

•changes in tax legislation; and

•changes in trade regulations and treaties.

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, 2023.

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 the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, 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. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. 

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, 2023, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

	$	7,336			$	7,347

Net sales during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 totaled $7.3 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $11 million, or less than 1% from $7.3 billion during the three-month period ended July 1, 2022. Net sales for our FAS segment decreased approximately $0.4 billion, or 10% from the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily driven by a significant decrease in our Consumer Devices business and a mid-teens decrease in our Lifestyle business due to weakness in consumer end markets. Sales in our Communications, Enterprise and Cloud ("CEC") business were flat due to the effect of easing supply constraints and softer demand in certain markets. Net sales for our FRS segment increased approximately $0.3 billion, or 11% from the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily driven by a mid-teens increase in our Automotive business, a low-teens increase in our Health Solutions business and a high single-digit increase in our Industrial business due to strong customer demand and ramps across various end markets. Net sales for our Nextracker segment increased approximately $0.1 billion, or 21% from the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily driven by an increase in gigawatts delivered. Net sales decreased $0.2 billion to $2.3 billion in Asia, offset by a $0.2 billion increase to $3.5 billion in the Americas, and a $23 million increase to $1.5 billion in Europe.

30

Our ten largest customers during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 accounted for approximately 34% and 35% of net sales, respectively. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 or July 1, 2022.

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 June 30, 2023 totaled $6.7 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $0.1 billion, or 1% from $6.8 billion during the three-month period ended July 1, 2022. Lower cost of sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a reduction in FAS segment sales, improvement in freight and logistics costs at Nextracker and favorable product mix within our FRS segment partially offset by an increase in FRS segment sales. Cost of sales in FAS for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 decreased approximately $0.4 billion, or 10% from the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, which is in line with the overall 10% decrease in FAS revenue during the same period. Cost of sales in FRS for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 increased approximately $0.3 billion, or 11% from the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, which is primarily attributed to the overall 11% increase in FRS revenue during the same period. Cost of sales in our Nextracker segment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 increased approximately $17 million, or 5% from the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily due to the 21% increase in Nextracker revenue during the same period, offset by improved profitability resulting from a decline in freight and logistics cost increases and overall better execution on our contracts.

Gross profit

Gross profit is affected by a fluctuation 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 segments. 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 June 30, 2023 increased $0.1 billion to $0.6 billion, or 8% of net sales, from $0.5 billion, or 7.3% of net sales, during the three-month period ended July 1, 2022. Gross margin improved 70 basis points during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to favorable mix with growth in our higher-margin FRS and Nextracker segments, partially offset by unfavorable mix in our CEC business.

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, legal and other, and interest, net 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
	June 30, 2023				July 1, 2022
	(In millions)
Segment income:
Flex Agility Solutions	$	146	4.1	%	$	171	4.3	%
Flex Reliability Solutions	165		5.0	%	147		5.0	%
Nextracker	82		17.2	%	30		7.6	%

FAS segment margin decreased approximately 20 basis points, to 4.1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, from 4.3% for the three-month period ended July 1, 2022. The margin decrease was attributable to unfavorable mix and ramp costs in CEC.

31

FRS segment margin remained relatively flat at 5.0% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022. Improving margins in our Health Solutions business due to increased productivity offset by continued project ramps and costs related to lingering semiconductor supply chain disruptions in our Industrial and Automotive businesses.

Nextracker segment margin increased approximately 960 basis points, to 17.2% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, from 7.6% for the three-month period ended July 1, 2022. The margin increase was driven by improved pricing, freight savings, and favorable cost absorption with increased revenues.

Restructuring charges

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $23 million of restructuring charges, primarily related to employee severance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was approximately $0.3 billion, or 3.7% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, increasing $29 million from approximately $0.2 billion, or 3.3% of net sales, during the three-month period ended July 1, 2022. The increase was primarily due to elevated SG&A costs to support higher revenue growth in our Nextracker segment and higher labor costs.

Intangible amortization 

Amortization of intangible assets decreased to $20 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, from $22 million for the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily due to certain intangibles now being fully amortized.

Interest, net 

Interest, net was an expense of $41 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to an expense of $49 million during the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily due to higher interest income, offset by higher variable interest expense compared to the prior year period.

Other charges (income), net

Other charges (income), net was an expense of $11 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to income of $9 million during the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, primarily due to a higher foreign exchange transaction loss recognized compared to the prior year 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, 2023 for further discussion. 

The consolidated effective tax rate was 12% and 16% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. The effective tax 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 effect 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 June 30, 2023 is lower than the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended July 1, 2022, due to the changing jurisdictional mix of income and the beneficial foreign exchange impacts on material tax balances for the period ended June 30, 2023.

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

In response to the challenging economic environment following the COVID-19 pandemic, we continuously evaluate our ability to meet our obligations over the next 12 months and have proactively reset our capital structure during these times to improve maturities and liquidity. As a result, we expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund current and future commitments. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7

32

billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $3.6 billion. As of June 30, 2023, we had a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility that is due to mature in July 2027 (the "2027 Credit Facility"), and a $0.5 billion revolving credit facility that is due to mature in February 2028 (the "Nextracker Revolver"), under which we had no borrowings outstanding. As of June 30, 2023, 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.

In fiscal year 2024, we implemented a 10b5-1 bond buyback program, aiming to repurchase certain outstanding bonds issued by us. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately $2 million of the 4.750% Notes due 2025, resulting in an immaterial gain on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Cash provided by operating activities was $6 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by $0.2 billion of net income for the period plus $0.2 billion of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, non-cash lease expense, and stock-based compensation, offset by certain changes in net working capital as discussed below.

We believe net working capital ("NWC") is a key metric that measures our liquidity. Net working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Net working capital decreased $0.3 billion to $4.9 billion as of June 30, 2023, from $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily driven by a $0.6 billion decrease in cash due to debt repayments, capital expenditures, and share repurchases, offset by a $0.1 billion increase in other current assets, and a $0.1 billion decrease in deferred revenue and working capital advances.

Cash used in investing activities was $0.2 billion during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by $0.2 billion of net capital expenditures for property and equipment to continue expanding capabilities and capacity in support of our CEC, Automotive, 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 three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 was an outflow of $0.2 billion and an outflow of $0.1 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: 

	Three-Month Periods Ended
	June 30, 2023		July 1, 2022
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	6	$	38
Purchases of property and equipment	(167)		(107)
Proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment	11		16
Adjusted free cash flow	$	(150)	$	(53)

Cash used by financing activities was $0.5 billion during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily driven by $0.2 billion of cash paid for the repurchase of our ordinary shares and $0.3 billion of net cash for repayments of bank borrowings and long-term debt and an associated cross-currency swap.

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 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. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, approximately 37% and 27%, 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 $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2023). 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

33

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 various uncommitted short-term financing facilities including but not limited to a commercial paper program, and a revolving sale and repurchase of subordinated notes established under the asset-backed securitization ("ABS") programs, under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023.

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 also have the ability to sell a designated pool of trade receivables under ABS programs and sell certain trade receivables, which are in addition to the trade receivables sold in connection with these securitization agreements. 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 $1.0 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 25, 2022. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we paid $197 million to repurchase shares under the current repurchase plan at an average price of $22.71 per share. As of June 30, 2023, shares in the aggregate amount of $697 million were available to be repurchased under the current plan.

DESCRIPTION OF ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024

Annual Incentive Bonus Plan for Fiscal 2024

On June 14, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Flex Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s Annual Incentive Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2024. The plan provides the Company’s executive officers with the opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses based upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals. Performance measures under the plan will be: operating profit, free cash flow and revenue targets at the Company level; and, additionally for certain executives, operating profit and revenue targets at the segment level. The plan allows awards to provide for different metrics, target levels and weightings for different executives. The Board, or the Board’s Compensation and People Committee, if so delegated by the Board, maintains the authority to adjust award payouts upon evaluation of each bonus award in the context of the Company’s overall performance.

Under the Annual Incentive Bonus Plan, target award opportunities are set at various percentages of base salary, which will be: 165% of base salary in the case of the Chief Executive Officer; 110% of base salary in the case of the Chief Financial Officer; and between 100% and 110% of base salary in the cases of other named executive officers. Actual payout opportunities for each bonus component will range from a threshold of 30% of target for operating profit, 30% of target for revenue, and 50% of target for free cash flow, to a maximum of 200% of target (for all metrics, inclusive of the modifiers described below), in each case based on achievement of the performance measures. If the Company or segment fails to achieve the threshold level for any performance measure, no payout is awarded for that measure. If the Company or segment fails to achieve the threshold level for all performance measures, the bonus payout will be capped at the target level. In addition, Company operating profit will be a funding metric for all Company bonus plans, including the executive plan, such that actual bonus payouts for executives may increase or decrease based on the level of Company operating profit (within +/- 20 percentage points) versus the enterprise-wide bonus payout level. If the Company or segment fails to achieve the threshold level for the operating profit performance measure, no payout is awarded for any measure. The Annual Incentive Bonus Plan includes environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics, which could modify the actual bonus payouts by up to +/- 10 percentage points depending on performance against the ESG metrics. Additionally, actual bonus payouts based on achievement of performance goals will be subject to modification by up to +/- 10 percentage points depending on each executive officer’s individual performance as determined by the Compensation and People Committee. For purposes of calculating performance under the Annual Incentive Bonus Plan, the Compensation and People Committee has discretion to exclude extraordinary items or events that have an unanticipated impact, corporate transactions (including acquisitions or dispositions), and other unusual or nonrecurring items. For purposes of determining achievement of award opportunities, the plan uses adjusted, non-GAAP measures.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, VESTING AND RELEASE
rTSR Payout Table:	Payouts can range from 0 – 200% of the Target rTSR Shares based on the achievement levels set forth in the chart below:
	Performance Level	Percentile Rank of Flex TSR Relative to rTSR Peer Companies	Awards Earned as a % of the Target
	Maximum	>75th Percentile	200%
	Below Maximum / Above Target	> 50th – ≤ 75th Percentile	Interpolate
	Target	50th Percentile	100%
	Below Target / Above Threshold	> 30th – < 50th Percentile	Interpolate
	Threshold	30th Percentile	25%
	Below Threshold	< 30th Percentile	0%
EPS Payout Table:	Payouts can range from 0 – 200% of the Target EPS Shares based on the achievement levels set forth in the chart below:
	Performance Level	Year on Year EPS Growth	Awards Earned as a % of the Target
	Maximum	> 12%	200%
	Below Maximum / Above Target	> 9% – < 12%	Interpolate
	Target	9%	100%
	Below Target / Above Threshold	> 6% – < 9%	Interpolate
	Threshold	6%	50%
	Below Threshold	< 6%	0%
Payout Matters:	If threshold performance is not attained with respect to Target EPS Shares or Target rTSR Shares, then the RSU Award pursuant to the EPS or rTSR program, respectively,will be forfeited in its entirety. If threshold performance is attained, the applicable number of Shares will vest (as Vested Shares). If applicable, such number of Vested Shares will be determined on an interpolated basis for performance between (i) threshold and target or (ii) target and maximum, as the case may be, per the above Payout Tables. Fractional percentage points will be rounded to the nearest percentage point with respect to the rTSR Payout Table and the nearest tenth of a percentage point with respect to EPS Payout Table]. The foregoing describes payout matters in general terms and is subject to Sections 1.1(b) and (c) of this Agreement.
Vesting / Release:	If the applicable rTSR Performance Criteria and/or EPS Performance Criteria (collectively, the “Performance Criteria”) is attained, the applicable number of Shares will vest (as Vested Shares) on the next business day following the third anniversary of [DATE]. The Vested Shares will be released as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (such date of release being the “Release Date”), and in any event following the end of the Performance Period and certification of results by the Committee, but prior to [DATE]. Applicable tax withholding and reporting will be contingent on the twenty (20)-day closing price average on the Release Date. The foregoing describes vesting and release matters in general terms and is subject to Sections 1.1(b) and (c) of this Agreement.

TSR-RELATED DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Total Shareholder Return:	TSR represents the cumulative return of an investment and includes the change in the stock price and dividend value from a specified start and ending period. The formula for the calculation is as follows:
	TSR = ((Price End - Price Begin) + Dividend Value) ÷ Price Begin
TSR Payout Calculation:	In General:The payout is determined by calculating the TSR of each rTSR Peer Company and determining the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR as compared to the TSRs for all of the rTSR Peer Companies (that is, the number of members of the rTSR Peer Group with TSRs at or below the TSR of the Company); provided that a company will be removed from the group of rTSR Peer Companies if, during the applicable rTSR Measurement Period, it ceases to have a class of equity securities that is both registered under the Exchange Act and actively traded on a U.S. public securities market (unless such cessation is due to any of the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the following sentence). The TSR for an rTSR Peer Company will be negative one hundred percent (-100%) for the applicable rTSR Measurement Period, if such company: (i) files for bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ii) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding [under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code] that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) is the subject of a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution; or (iv) ceases to conduct substantial business operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the acquisition of a company within the group of rTSR Peer Companies during the applicable rTSR Measurement Period by another person or group of related persons by itself does not result in the company being treated as ceasing to conduct substantial business operations.
	20-Day Closing Price Average: To avoid the effects of short-term price fluctuations, a “20-day closing price average” will be used for determining TSR values, and will be calculated using a basic average of the applicable company’s closing prices on the previous twenty (20) trading days prior to the beginning and end of each rTSR Measurement Period. Only the daily closing price will be used to determine TSR values as reported by the Wall Street Journal or any other reputable financial services information provider. The formula for the calculation is as follows:
	20-Day Closing Price Average = (Sum of Prior 20-Day Closing Prices) ÷ 20
	Dividends Generally: Dividends (including any special dividends or distributions) will be assumed to be reinvested in shares (including fractional shares) of the applicable dividend-paying company, based on its per-share closing price on the date on which such dividends are paid.
	Equity Distributions: In the case of an equity distribution, the value of distributed equity will be treated as a stock dividend, and captured using the 20-day closing price average for measuring performance, as described above.
	Spin-Offs: In the event of a stock distribution from an rTSR Peer Company consisting of the shares of a new publicly traded company (a “spin-off”), such rTSR Peer Company shall remain as an rTSR Peer Company and such stock distribution shall be treated as a dividend from such rTSR Peer Company based on the closing price of the shares of the spun-off company on its first day of trading. The performance of the shares of the spun-off company shall not thereafter be tracked for TSR calculation purposes.
	Other Equitable Adjustments: Equitable adjustments shall be made to account for stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the common equity securities in question.
	The formula for this TSR payout calculation is as follows:
	((B + .5E) ÷ N) × 100
	B = Number of rTSR Peer Companies with TSRs below the Company’s TSR E = Number of rTSR Peer Companies with TSRs equal to the Company’s TSR N = The number of rTSR Peer Companies

EPS-RELATED DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Earnings Per Share:	EPS represents the Company’s net income divided by the weighted average of the number of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis during a specified start and ending period.
Earnings Per Share Growth:	In General: EPS growth is determined based on the annual growth rate of the Company’s EPS during the applicable EPS Measurement Period. For purposes of this calculation, (i) the starting point to calculate EPS growth shall be the Company’s EPS for the twelve (12)-month period preceding the applicable EPS Measurement Period, (ii) the ending point to calculate EPS growth shall be the Company’s EPS with respect to, and as of the close of, such EPS Measurement Period. EPS shall be determined on a non-GAAP basis. In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, the Committee shall exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of the Company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in the Committee’s view, related to the Company’s ongoing operational performance. All adjustments shall be subject to approval by the Committee to ensure that payout levels are consistent with performance.
	Extraordinary Items or Events: In addition to the non-GAAP measures and adjustments historically used by the Company in determining EPS, the following items shall be disregarded in determining achievement of the EPS growth performance goal: extraordinary items or events that have unanticipated impact (e.g., the Ukraine Conflict), corporate transactions (including acquisitions or dispositions) and other unusual or nonrecurring items. For purposes of such EPS growth determinations, the impact of unplanned share repurchases attributable to corporate transactions (including acquisitions or dispositions) shall be disregarded.
EXAMPLE
The example below assumes:
•90,000 Total Target Shares are awarded, resulting in an RSU Award of:
◦45,000 Target rTSR Shares,
◦45,000 Target EPS Shares, and
◦180,000 Maximum Shares
Outcome: Maximum rTSR Performance
rTSR Percentile Rank:	85th percentile
rTSR Award Earned:	85th percentile is above the 75th percentile (Maximum Performance Level) so maximum earnings of 200% of the Target rTSR Shares, or 90,000 Vested Shares is achieved
Outcome: Below Maximum / Above Target EPS Growth Performance
EPS Growth Percentage:	11%
EPS Growth Percentage:	11% is between 12% (Maximum Performance Level) and 10% (Target Performance Level), so, interpolated earnings of 150% (i.e., 1½ expressed as a percentage) of the Target EPS Shares, or 67,500 Vested Shares is achieved
Total Vested Shares:	157,500 Vested Shares (i.e., 90,000 rTSR Shares Earned + 67,500 EPS Shares Earned)

1.Grant of RSU Award.

1.1    Grant of RSU Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including any country-specific terms set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an RSU Award for the number of Ordinary Shares set forth above in the “PRIMARY INFORMATION” section of this Agreement (the “Shares”).

(a)    Vesting. The RSU Award shall vest, and the applicable number of Shares shall be issuable to the Participant, according to the Performance Criteria set forth above. If application of the Performance Criteria results in the vesting of a fractional Share, such Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share (it being understood that fractional Shares resulting from application of separate Performance Criteria hereunder shall first be added together, and then rounded down, if applicable, to the nearest whole Share). Shares that vest and are issuable pursuant to the Performance Criteria are “Vested Shares.”

(b)    Termination of Service. The RSU Award, all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, shall terminate on the earlier of the Participant’s Termination Date or the date when all applicable Shares that are subject to the RSU Award have been allotted and issued, or forfeited in the case of any portion of the RSU Award that fails to vest; provided, however, that if the Participant has a Termination of Service due to Retirement, then (i) the RSU Award and all rights and obligations hereunder will not terminate and (ii) a number of Vested Shares shall be issued to the Participant following the end of the Performance Period and on the Release Date upon the vesting of the RSU Award pursuant to the Performance Criteria and pro-rated for the portion of the Performance Period during which the Participant was employed prior to Retirement; provided, further, that if within the Performance Period, the Participant violates the terms of Sections 10 through 13 of this Agreement, a non-disclosure agreement with, or other confidentiality obligation owed to, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, then the RSU Award and all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary Termination of Service after the Participant has attained age fifty-five (55) and completed at least five (5) years of service as an Employee of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; provided that the Participant’s age plus years of service equals at least sixty-five (65); provided, further, that the Participant provides, as may be required by the Company in its discretion, up to six (6) months of written notice of such Retirement which is irrevocable by the Participant.

(c)    Termination of Service due to Death or Disability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant has a Termination of Service due to death or Disability, then (i) the RSU Award and all rights and obligations hereunder will not terminate and (ii) a number of Vested Shares shall be issued to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable following his or her Termination of Service due to death or Disability, but in no event later than [DATE] (such date being deemed as the Release Date for purposes of this Section 1.1(c)), pursuant to the Performance Criteria based upon (x) actual TSR and EPS growth performance for any completed rTSR Measurement Period and EPS Measurement Period during the Performance Period, (y) target TSR and target EPS growth performance for any unfinished rTSR Measurement Period and EPS Measurement Period during the Performance Period and (z) pro-rated for the fraction of the Performance Period during which the Participant was employed prior to death or Disability.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the inability of the Participant to perform in all material respects his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, by reason of a physical or mental disability or infirmity which inability is reasonably expected to be permanent and has continued (i) for a period of at least six (6) consecutive months or (ii) such shorter period as the CEO (or the Committee in the case of the CEO) or the CEO’s direct reports, may reasonably determine in good faith. The Disability determination shall be in the sole discretion of the CEO, the Committee or the CEO’s direct reports, as applicable.

(d)    Allotment and Issuance of Vested Shares. The Company shall allot and issue the Vested Shares as soon as administratively practicable after such number of Shares are determined to have vested (as Vested Shares) pursuant to the Performance Criteria, and as further set forth above in the “PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, VESTING AND RELEASE – Vesting / Release” section of this Agreement or as provided above in Sections 1.1(b) and (c), as applicable. The Company shall have no obligation to allot and issue, and the Participant will have no right or title to, any Shares, and no Shares will be allotted and issued to the Participant, until satisfaction of the Performance Criteria.

(e)    No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause.

(f)    Nontransferability of RSU Award. None of the Participant’s rights under this Agreement or under the RSU Award may be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participants in the U.S. may transfer or assign the RSU Award to Family Members through a gift or a domestic relations order (and not in a transfer for value), or as otherwise allowed by the Plan. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Participant.

(g)    Privileges of Share Ownership. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder until the Vested Shares are allotted and issued after the applicable vest date.

(h)    Interpretation.

The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and on the Participant.

1.2    Title to Shares. Title will be provided in the Participant’s individual name on the Company’s records unless the Participant otherwise notifies Stock Administration of an alternative designation in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws.

2.Delivery.

2.1    Deliveries by the Participant. The Participant hereby delivers to the Company this Agreement.

2.2    Deliveries by the Company. The Company will issue a duly executed share certificate or other documentation evidencing the Vested Shares in the name specified in Section 1.2 after such number of Shares are determined to have vested (as Vested Shares) pursuant to the Performance Criteria, and as further set forth above in the “PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, VESTING AND RELEASE – Vesting / Release” section of this Agreement or as provided above in Sections 1.1(b) and (c), as applicable; provided the Participant has delivered and executed this Agreement prior to the applicable vesting date and has remained continuously employed by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate through the relevant date on which such Shares become Vested Shares.

3.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of the Shares to the Participant shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of any share exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state, local or foreign securities commission or any share exchange to effect such compliance.

4.Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Participant will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Vested Shares which have been allotted and issued to the Participant until such time as the Participant disposes of such Vested Shares.

5.Stop-Transfer Orders.

5.1    Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Participant agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company administers transfers of its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

5.2    Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to register in its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any Participant or other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred.

6.Taxes and Disposition of Shares.

6.1    Tax Obligations.

(a)    Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising out of the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU Award, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or issuance of Vested Shares underlying the RSU Award, the subsequent sale of Vested Shares acquired upon vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)    Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company, the Employer, or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company; or (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Vested Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued at vesting of the RSU Award.

(c)    To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for the Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Vested Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(d)    The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in this section. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Vested Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

6.2    Disposition of Shares. The Participant hereby agrees that he or she shall make no disposition of the Shares (other than as permitted by this Agreement) unless and until the Participant shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Shares.

7.Nature of Grant. In accepting the RSU Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(b)the grant of the RSU Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future RSU Awards, or benefits in lieu of RSU Awards, even if RSU Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future RSU Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e)the future value of the Shares underlying the RSU Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(f)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the RSU Award resulting from a Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the RSU Award to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company and/or the Employer, waives the Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and/or the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and

(g)if the Participant resides outside of the U.S.A.:

(A)the RSU Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(B)the RSU Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, dismissal, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to past services for the Employer, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; and

(C)in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and subject to Sections 1.1(b) and (c), as applicable, the Participant’s right to vest in the RSU Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of Termination of Service, it being understood that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of this RSU Award.

8.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSU Award. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

9.Data Privacy.

(a)The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(b)The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSU Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

(c)The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections from the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, the Company stock plan service provider and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The Participant understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

(a)    The Participant acknowledges that the Company’s business and services are highly specialized, the identity and particular needs of the Company’s customers, suppliers, and independent contractors are not generally known, and the documents, records, and information regarding the Company’s customers, suppliers, independent contractors, services, methods of operation, policies, procedures, sales, pricing, and costs are highly confidential information and constitute trade secrets. The Participant further acknowledges that the services rendered to the Company by the Participant have been or will be of a special and unusual character which have a unique value to the Company and that the Participant has had or will have access to trade secrets and confidential information belonging to the Company, the loss of which cannot be adequately compensated by damages in an action at law.

(b)    The Participant agrees to not use for any purpose or disclose to any person or entity any Confidential Information, except as required in the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company. “Confidential Information” means information that the Company has obtained in connection with its present or planned business, including information the Participant developed in the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company, the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Company. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, all information of Company to which the Participant has had or will have access, whether in oral, written, graphic or machine-readable form, including without limitation, records, lists, specifications, operations or systems manuals, decision processes, policies, procedures, profiles, system and management architectures, diagrams, graphs, models, sketches, technical data, research, business or financial information, plans, strategies, forecasts, forecast assumptions, business practices, marketing information and material, customer names, vendor lists, independent contractor lists, identities, or information, proprietary ideas, concepts, know-how, methodologies and all other information related to Company’s business and/or the business of any of its affiliates, knowledge of the Company’s customers, suppliers, employees, independent contractors, methods of operation, trade secrets, software, software code, methods of determining prices. Confidential Information shall also include all information of a third party to which Company and/or any of its affiliates have access and to which the Participant has had or will have access. The Participant will not, directly or indirectly, copy, take, disclose, or remove from the Company’s premises, any of the Company’s books, records, customer lists, or any Confidential Information.

Securities Law Information. The Participant should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if the Participant has inside information about the Company.

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “insider information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any Employee in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain Employees working at a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the Participant has such inside information.

If the Participant is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to him or her, he or she should consult his or her personal legal advisor.

Tax Obligations. The following provisions supplement Section 6.1 of the Agreement:

The Participant agrees that, if Participant does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from the Participant the full amount of Tax-Related Items that the Participant owes at vesting/settlement of the RSU Award, or the release or assignment of the RSU Award for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSU Award (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to the Participant by the Employer, by withholding from the cash proceeds from the sale of Vested Shares or by demanding cash or a check from the Participant. The Participant also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Vested Shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Participant is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Participant within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6.1 Agreement, although the Participant acknowledges that he/she ultimately will be responsible for reporting any income tax or National Insurance Contributions due on this additional benefit directly to the HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

National Insurance Contributions Acknowledgment. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the vesting of the RSU Award, the Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the RSU Award and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”). To accomplish the foregoing, the Participant agrees to execute a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or election. The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from the Participant by any of the means set forth in Section 6.1 of the Agreement.

If the Participant does not enter into a Joint Election prior to vesting of the RSU Award or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the RSU Award shall become null and void without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer and the Company may choose not to issue or deliver Shares upon vesting of the RSU Award.

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, 2023 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-month period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as in the Notes thereto, have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The first quarters for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 ended on June 30, 2023, which is comprised of 91 days in the period, and July 1, 2022, which is comprised of 92 days, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. A controlling financial interest may also exist in variable interest entities (“VIEs”), through governance provisions and arrangements to provide services to VIEs.

The Company is required to consolidate a VIE of which it is the primary beneficiary. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates whether it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of VIEs that are consolidated. For the consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling interest for the ownership of the noncontrolling owners. As of June 30, 2023, we presented noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets, reflecting the equity held by other parties. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to Flex Ltd. and the noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 stock options and restricted share unit awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), 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. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations", which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the buyer should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The amendments in this update do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance program. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information which is effective in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance retrospectively during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, including a rollforward of changes in those obligations, with immaterial impacts on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 date. 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

rollforward of the Company's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under its supplier finance programs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 is as follows.

REVENUE

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

REVENUE

REVENUE 

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides a comprehensive suite of services for its customers that range from advanced product design to manufacturing and logistics to after-sales services. The first step in its process for revenue recognition is to identify a contract with a customer. A contract is defined as an agreement between two parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and can be written, verbal, or implied. The Company generally enters into master supply agreements (“MSAs”) with its customers that provide the framework under which business will be conducted. This includes matters such as warranty, indemnification, transfer of title and risk of loss, liability for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing formulas, payment terms, etc., and the level of business under those agreements may not be guaranteed. In those instances, the Company bids on a program-by-program basis and typically receives customer purchase orders for specific quantities and timing of products. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the MSA and the purchase order, or any other similar documents such as a statement of work, product addendum, emails or other communications that embody the commitment by the customer.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following steps: (i) identifies the contracts with the customers; (ii) identifies performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Further, the Company assesses whether control of the products or services promised under the contract are transferred to the customer at a point in time (PIT) or over time (OT). The Company is first required to evaluate whether its contracts meet the criteria for OT recognition. The Company has determined that for a portion of its contracts the Company is manufacturing products for which there is no alternative use (due to the unique nature of the customer-specific product and intellectual property restrictions) and the Company has an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit for work-in-progress inventory with respect to these contracts. For certain other contracts, the Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs under the contract. As a result, revenue is recognized under these contracts OT based on the cost-to-cost method as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For all other contracts that do not meet these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred control of the related manufactured products which generally occurs upon delivery and passage of title to the customer.

Customer Contracts and Related Obligations

Certain of the Company’s customer agreements include potential price adjustments which may result in variable consideration. These price adjustments include, but are not limited to, sharing of cost savings, committed price reductions, material margins earned over the period that are contractually required to be paid to the customers, rebates, refunds tied to performance metrics such as on-time delivery, and other periodic pricing resets that may be refundable to customers. The Company estimates the variable consideration related to these price adjustments as part of the total transaction price and recognizes revenue in accordance with the pattern applicable to the performance obligation, subject to a constraint. The Company constrains the amount of revenues recognized for these contractual provisions based on its best estimate of the amount which will not result in a significant reversal of revenue in a future period. The Company determines the amounts to be recognized based on the amount of potential refunds required by the contract, historical experience and other surrounding facts and circumstances. Often these obligations are settled with the customer in a period after shipment through various methods which include reduction of prices for future purchases, issuance of a payment to the customer, or issuance of a credit note applied against the customer’s accounts receivable balance. In many instances, the agreement is silent on the settlement mechanism. Any difference between the amount accrued for potential refunds and the actual amount agreed to with the customer is recorded as an increase or decrease in revenue. These potential price adjustments are included as part of other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and disclosed as part of customer-related accruals in note 2.

Performance Obligations

The Company derives its revenues primarily from manufacturing services, and to a lesser extent, from innovative design, engineering, and supply chain services and solutions.

A performance obligation is an implicitly or explicitly promised good or service that is material in the context of the contract and is both capable of being distinct (customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources) and distinct within the context of the contract (separately identifiable from other promises). The Company considers all activities typically included in its contracts, and identifies those activities representing a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer. These include, but are not limited to, design and engineering services, prototype products, tooling, etc. Each promised good or service with regards to these identified activities is accounted for as a separate performance obligation only if it is distinct - i.e., the customer can benefit from it on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Certain activities on the other hand are determined not to constitute a promise to transfer goods or service, and therefore do not represent separate performance obligations for revenue recognition (e.g., procurement of materials and standard workmanship warranty).

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual good or service is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and is, therefore, not distinct. Promised goods or services that are immaterial in the context of the contract are not separately assessed as performance obligations. In the event that more than one performance obligation is identified in a contract, the Company is required to allocate the transaction price between the performance obligations. The allocation would generally be performed on the basis of a relative standalone price for each distinct good or service. This standalone price most often represents the price that the Company would sell similar goods or services separately.

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.

A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives payments in advance of the satisfaction of performance. Contract liabilities, identified as deferred revenue, were $897 million and $885 million as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, of which $802 million and $795 million, respectively, is included in deferred revenue and customer working capital advances under current liabilities.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plans

Flex historically maintains stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. The Company's primary plan used for granting equity compensation awards is the Company's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"). During the fiscal year 2023, Nextracker granted equity compensation awards to Nextracker employees under the 2022 Nextracker Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Nextracker Plan"), which is administered by Nextracker, a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans:

	Three-Month Periods Ended
	June 30, 2023		July 1, 2022
	(In millions)
Cost of sales	$	9	$	7
Selling, general and administrative expenses	32		19
Total share-based compensation expense	$	41	$	26

Total number of options outstanding and exercisable were immaterial as of June 30, 2023. All options have been fully expensed as of June 30, 2023.

The 2017 Plan

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 4.8 million restricted share unit ("RSU") awards. Of this amount, approximately 3.0 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 $26.81 per award. In addition, approximately 0.4 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 $26.72 per award. The number of shares contingent on performance conditions that ultimately will vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 0.8 million based

on a measurement of the Company's adjusted earnings per share growth over certain specified periods, and will cliff vest after a period of three years, to the extent such performance conditions have been met. Further, approximately 0.4 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 $35.64 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 0.8 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 1.2 million represents the number of shares issued upon vesting of RSU awards above target levels based on the achievement of certain market conditions for awards granted in the fiscal year 2021. These awards were issued and immediately vested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying awards.

As of June 30, 2023, approximately 12.6 million unvested RSU awards under the 2017 plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 1.3 million shares is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, and vesting for a targeted amount of 1.3 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 2.6 million based on the achievement levels. The number of shares tied to performance conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to 2.6 million based on the achievement levels. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, 2.3 million shares vested in connection with the awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2021.

As of June 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan, was approximately $237 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.4 years.

The 2022 Nextracker Plan

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, Nextracker awarded 1.1 million equity-based compensation awards to its employees under the 2022 Nextracker Plan, which included approximately 0.5 million option awards, 0.5 million RSU ("NRSU") awards and 0.1 million performance-based restricted share unit ("NPSU") awards. Vesting for the awards granted under the 2022 Nextracker Plan is contingent upon continued employee service and certain performance conditions.

As of June 30, 2023, approximately 5.8 million unvested options awards, NRSU awards, and NPSU awards under the 2022 Nextracker Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 3.8 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance conditions. 

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards under the 2022 Nextracker Plan was approximately $61 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years. Approximately $8 million of expense was recognized for equity-based compensation awards granted under the 2022 Nextracker Plan for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]

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 June 30, 2023, the aggregate notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $11.3 billion as summarized below: 

	Notional Contract  Value in USD
Currency	Buy		Sell

Total Notional Contract Value in USD	$	6,743	$	4,558

As of June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, 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 gain was $27 million as of June 30, 2023, 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, and the fair value of the cross currency swaps was included in current and long-term other liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. The changes in fair value of the USD HUF cross currency swaps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, corresponding amounts are 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 following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes:

	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
	Asset Derivatives					Liability Derivatives
		Fair Value					Fair Value

Foreign currency contracts	Other current assets	$	39	$	26	Other current liabilities	$	47	$	19

The Company has financial instruments subject to master netting arrangements, which provide for the net settlement of all contracts with certain counterparties. The Company does not offset fair value amounts for assets and liabilities recognized for derivative instruments under these arrangements, 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.

Accounts, Notes, Loans and Financing Receivable, Gross, Allowance, and Net [Abstract]

TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION

TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATIONThe Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and an accounts receivable factoring program. 

Asset-Backed Securitization Programs 

The Company historically has engaged in asset-backed securitization programs (the “ABS Programs”), selling trade receivables to affiliated special purpose entities and then to unaffiliated financial institutions. Upon the sale of the receivables from the special purpose entities to the unaffiliated financial institutions, the receivables are derecognized from our consolidated balance sheet as effective control of the transferred receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which have the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Accounts receivable sold under the ABS Programs are included as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flow. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, no accounts receivable were sold under the ABS Programs.

Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

The Company also sells accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected on accounts where the Company has continuing involvement was approximately $0.8 billion and $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, total accounts receivable sold to certain third-party banking institutions was approximately $0.8 billion and $0.8 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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

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 June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. 

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. 

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 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. 

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022. 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis 

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023:

The Notes due June 2025, February 2026, January 2028, June 2029 and May 2030 are valued based on broker trading prices in active markets. HUF Bonds and Nextracker Term Loan due February 2028 are valued based on the broker trading prices in an inactive market.

The Delayed Draw Term Loan due November 2023 bears interest at floating interest rates, and therefore, as of June 30, 2023, the carrying amounts approximate fair values.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period or on the Company’s financial condition.

One of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries has received assessments for certain sales and import taxes. There were originally six tax assessments totaling the updated amount inclusive of interest and penalties of 419 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $86 million based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2023). The Company successfully defeated one of the six assessments in September 2019 (totaling approximately 61 million Brazilian reals or USD $13 million). The Company successfully defeated another three of the assessments in September 2022 (totaling the updated amount inclusive of interest and penalties of approximately 261 million Brazilian reals or USD $54 million), each of which remains subject to appeal. The Company was unsuccessful at the administrative level for one of the assessments and filed an annulment action in federal court in Brasilia, Brazil on March 23, 2020; the updated value of that assessment inclusive of interest and penalties is 41 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $8 million). One of the assessments remains in the review process at the administrative level. The Company believes there is no legal basis for any of these assessments and that it has meritorious defenses. The Company will continue to vigorously oppose all of these assessments, as well as any future assessments. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on any of these claims in the near future.

On February 14, 2019, the Company submitted an initial notification of voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") regarding possible noncompliance with U.S. economic sanctions requirements among certain non-U.S. Flex-affiliated operations. On September 28, 2020, the Company made a submission to OFAC that completed the Company’s voluntary disclosure based on the results of an internal investigation regarding the matter. On June 11, 2021, the Company notified OFAC that it had identified possible additional relevant transactions at one non-U.S. Flex-affiliated operation. The Company submitted an update to OFAC on November 16, 2021 reporting on the results of its review of those transactions. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with OFAC in this matter going forward. Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be subject to penalties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A foreign Tax Authority (“Tax Authority”) has assessed a cumulative total of approximately $221 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. The Company disagrees with the Tax Authority’s 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 adverse 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.

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company reports its financial performance based on three operating and reportable segments, Flex Agility Solutions, Flex Reliability Solutions and Nextracker, 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, legal and other, and interest, net 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.

Selected financial information by segment is in the table below.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company accrued for certain loss contingencies where losses are considered probable and estimable.

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.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company controls Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker") through its holding of Class B common stock that does not participate in the earnings of Nextracker. As such, the shareholders of the equity at risk in Nextracker (the Class A common stock shareholders) do not have the power to direct the key activities of Nextracker and consequently Nextracker is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company has the ability to control Nextracker's activities through its control of 61.2% and 61.4% of the voting rights of Nextracker as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company also has the ability to receive significant benefits from the VIE (through its ability to convert its investments in Nextracker and Nextracker LLC into Class A common stock of Nextracker or cash) and as such the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, the Company continues to consolidate Nextracker and the interests in Nextracker held by third parties are presented as a noncontrolling interest. Evaluation of the VIE model and identification of the primary beneficiary requires significant judgements to be made regarding which entities can control the activities of a VIE, who can receive benefits or absorb losses from the VIE and the significance of those benefits and losses to the VIE.

As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, noncontrolling interest was $380 million and $355 million, respectively. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $25 million and zero for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. As a result of the Nextracker's February 13, 2023 initial public offering ("IPO"), the noncontrolling interest previously determined to be redeemable prior to the IPO did not exist as of June 30, 2023. Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was zero and $6 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively.

The carrying amounts and classification of the VIE's external assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The entire net proceeds were used by Nextracker to acquire 14,025,000 Nextracker LLC common units from Yuma, Inc., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and 1,606,562 Nextracker LLC common units from TPG Rise Flash, L.P., an affiliate of the global alternative asset management firm TPG. As a result of the repurchase of Nextracker LLC common units by Nextracker, 15,631,562 shares of Nextracker Class B common stock were cancelled. Subsequent to the follow-on offering, Flex owned 74,432,619 shares of Class B common stock, representing 51.5% of the total outstanding shares of Nextracker common stock and, accordingly, still controls Nextracker. The Company received approximately $495 million from the follow-on offering, after distribution of net proceeds to TPG and expenses.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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, 2023 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-month period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.The first quarters for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 ended on June 30, 2023, which is comprised of 91 days in the period, and July 1, 2022, which is comprised of 92 days, respectively.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as in the Notes thereto, have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. A controlling financial interest may also exist in variable interest entities (“VIEs”), through governance provisions and arrangements to provide services to VIEs. The Company is required to consolidate a VIE of which it is the primary beneficiary. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates whether it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of VIEs that are consolidated. For the consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling interest for the ownership of the noncontrolling owners. As of June 30, 2023, we presented noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets, reflecting the equity held by other parties. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to Flex Ltd. and the noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

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 stock options and restricted share unit awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), 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. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations", which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the buyer should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The amendments in this update do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance program. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information which is effective in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance retrospectively during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, including a rollforward of changes in those obligations, with immaterial impacts on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 date. 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

rollforward of the Company's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under its supplier finance programs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 is as follows.

	Three-Month Period Ended

Fair Value Measurement

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 June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. 

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. 

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 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.
