Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flex Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, redeemable noncontrolling interest and shareholders’ equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 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 the Company 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
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization of the Company

Through the collective strength of a global workforce across approximately 30 countries with responsible, sustainable operations, Flex supports the entire product lifecycle with advanced manufacturing solutions and operates one of the most trusted global supply chains.

Flex supports a diverse set of industries including cloud, communications, enterprise, automotive, industrial, consumer devices, lifestyle, healthcare, and energy.

•Nextracker, the leading provider of intelligent, integrated solar tracker and software solutions that are 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.
The Company's service offerings include a comprehensive range of value-added design and engineering services that are tailored to the various markets and needs of its customers.

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.
Nextracker Spin-off
On January 2, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced spin-off of its remaining interests in Nextracker (the "Spin-off") to Flex shareholders on a pro-rata basis based on the number ordinary shares of Flex held by each shareholder of Flex (the “Distribution”) as of December 29, 2023, which was the record date of the Distribution, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 7, 2023. Refer to note 17, “Subsequent Events” to the condensed consolidated financial statement for further details.
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 and nine-month periods ended December 31, 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 third quarters for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 ended on December 31 of each year and are comprised of 93 and 92 days, respectively. The Company's first three quarters for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 both are comprised of 275 days.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. A controlling financial interest may 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 subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling interest for the ownership of the noncontrolling owners. As of December 31, 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, the Israel-Hamas war, and other geopolitical conflicts), there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 "Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative", which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (the "Codification"). This ASU will become effective on the date the SEC removes the applicable disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not be become effective for any entity. The Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements, and intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements, and intends to adopt the guidance retrospectively when it becomes effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The
Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements, and intends to adopt the guidance prospectively when it becomes effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
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 nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 is as follows.

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 prior to the Spin-off.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three-Month Periods Ended | | Nine-Month Periods Ended |
| December 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 | | December 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |

Total share-based compensation expense | $ | 39 | | | $ | 27 | | | $ | 125 | | | $ | 80 | |
Total number of options outstanding and exercisable were immaterial as of December 31, 2023. All options have been fully expensed as of December 31, 2023.
The 2017 Plan
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted approximately 4.9 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 $26.82 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 December 31, 2023, approximately 12 million unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.2 million shares is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, and vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.2 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance conditions. The number of shares tied to market conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 2.4 million based on the achievement levels. The number of shares tied to performance conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 2.4 million based on the achievement levels. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, approximately 2.3 million shares vested in connection with the awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2021.
As of December 31, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan, was approximately $170 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.0 years.
The 2022 Nextracker Plan
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, Nextracker awarded approximately 2.1 million equity-based compensation awards to its employees under the 2022 Nextracker Plan, which included approximately 0.5 million option awards, approximately 1.2 million RSU ("NRSU") awards and approximately 0.4 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 also may be subject to certain performance conditions.
As of December 31, 2023, approximately 6.6 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 3.6 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance conditions.
Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards under the 2022 Nextracker Plan was approximately $93 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years. After the Spin-off, the Company will not include stock-based compensation expense for the awards granted under the 2022 Nextracker Plan in its consolidated financial statements. Approximately $38 million of expense was recognized for equity-based compensation awards granted under the 2022 Nextracker Plan for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023.
Modifications of Share-Based Awards
In January 2024, in connection with the Nextracker Spin-off, the Company was required to make certain adjustments to the number of share-based compensation awards under the 2017 Plan using a conversion ratio designed to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards to the holders immediately prior to the Spin-off. Adjustments to the outstanding share-based compensation awards are not expected to result in additional material compensation expense. All outstanding restricted share unit awards for employees transferred to Nextracker were canceled in connection with the Spin-off.

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.
As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $9.8 billion as summarized below:

As of December 31, 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 December 31, 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. Deferred gain was $32 million as of December 31, 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 other assets and long-term other liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. 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:

Substantially all unrealized gains and losses relating to derivative instruments and other, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $7 million and $9 million, respectively. The tax impacts on the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $2 million and immaterial, respectively.
10. TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
The 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 nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 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 $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total accounts receivable sold to certain third-party banking institutions was approximately $2.6 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the cash received was included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
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 December 31, 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 nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
