| 2 © 2018 Benchmark Electronics, Inc. Forward - Looking Statements This document contains forward - looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict” and similar expressions, and the n egatives thereof, often identify forward - looking statements, which are not limited to historical facts. Forward - looking statements inclu de, among other things: guidance for 2018 results; projected annual revenues resulting from new program bookings; statements , express or implied, concerning future operating results or margins, the ability to generate sales and income or cash flow; and Benchmark ’s business and growth strategies and expected growth and performance. Although Benchmark believes these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they involve risks and uncertainties relating to operations, markets and the business environmen t generally. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect , actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. Readers are advised to consult further disclosures on these risks and uncertainties, part icularly in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward - looking statements included in this document are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this document, and it assumes no obligation to update them. Non - GAAP Financial Information This document includes certain financial measures that exclude items and therefore are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A detailed reconciliation between GAAP results and results excluding special items (“n on - GAAP”) is included in the Appendix of this document. Management discloses non - GAAP information to provide investors with additional information to analyze the Company’s performance and underlying trends. Management uses non - GAAP measures that exclude certain items in order to better assess operating performance and help investors compare results with our previous guidance. This document also references “free cash flow”, which the Company defines as cash flow from operations less additions to property, plant and equipment and purchased software. The Company’s non - GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to the non - GAAP information used by other companies. Non - GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Readers should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made.
| 3 © 2018 Benchmark Electronics, Inc. Implementation of ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers Effective January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASC 606 the accounting standard governing “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the full retrospective transition method. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized as or when the customer obta ins control of the goods or services promised in a contract. Given the nature of the terms and conditions in substantially all o f t he Company’s customer contracts, the Company now recognizes revenue over time (beginning at work - in - process (“WIP”)) for the majori ty of its contracts. All historical financial information represented in this presentation has been adjusted to reflect the retrospective implementation of ASC 606. As part of ASC 606, we are also required to reclassify finished goods and WIP meeting “the over time criteria” from inventory to a new line item called contract assets on the face of the balance sheet. Contract assets are defined as the Company’s right to cons ide ration for work completed but not billed.
