“We are very pleased with our record-breaking fourth quarter and fiscal year results, which reflect our intense focus on growth acceleration, vertical integration and expanding our service offering to increase our market share and profitability. I wish to thank our employees, who have worked hard to achieve these revenue and profit results that are well in excess of the industry averages. We believe this exceptional growth is a validation of our strategy and results from our ability to add significant value to our customers. We will continue to be intensely focused on growing our market share with the appropriate return on capital, while enhancing our competitive position in the marketplace,” said Mike McNamara, chief executive officer of Flextronics.

McNamara added, “We accomplished our growth objectives as revenues grew by 23% in fiscal 2007 to an all-time record high of $18.9 billion and adjusted annual operating profit grew by 21% while achieving our targeted annual adjusted operating margin of 3%. We are very pleased that we also met our adjusted earnings per share commitment of $0.80 for fiscal 2007. Despite a heavy investment cycle, the Company’s return on invested capital increased by 60 basis points to 10.4% in fiscal 2007.”

Guidance
For the first quarter ending June 29, 2007, revenue is expected to grow 18-23% on a year-over-year basis to a range of $4.8 billion to $5.0 billion and adjusted EPS is expected to grow 11-22% on a year-over-year basis to a range of $0.20-$0.22 per share.

For the 2008 fiscal year, revenue is expected to grow 10-15% on a year-over-year basis to a range of $20.7 billion to $21.7 billion and adjusted EPS is expected to grow 15-20% on a year-over-year basis to a range of $0.92-$0.96 per share.

GAAP earnings are expected to be lower than the guidance provided herein by approximately $0.03 per diluted share per quarter reflecting quarterly intangible amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(1)Non-GAAP Financial Measures — To supplement Flextronics’ unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP intangible amortization, non-GAAP interest and other expense, net, non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, intangible amortization, gains or losses on divestitures and certain other items. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Flextronics’ results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Flextronics’ results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon our GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

In calculating our non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate our review of the comparability of the Company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to the Company’s ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts and strategic plans, for calculating return on investment, and for benchmarking performance externally against our competitors. In addition, our management’s incentive compensation is determined using these non-GAAP measures. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target’s performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

• the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results;

• the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis;

• a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and

• an easier way to compare the Company’s operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in our reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expenseconsists of non-cash charges incurred as a result of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R relating to the fair value of stock options and restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact the application of SFAS 123R has on its operating results.

Restructuring chargesinclude severance, impairment, lease termination, exit costs and other charges primarily related to the closures and consolidations of various manufacturing facilities. These costs may vary in size based on the Company’s restructuring activities, are not directly related to our ongoing or core business results, and do not reflect expected future operating expenses. These costs are excluded by the Company’s management in assessing current operating performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and are therefore excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures.

Intangible amortizationconsists of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.

Gains or losses on divestiture of operationsrelate to discrete and unusual events associated with the sale of a non-core business of the Company. These gains or losses can vary significantly in size and do not reflect expected future operating impacts; therefore, it is useful to investors to highlight the specific results of these items on its operating results. The Company’s management excludes these items when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP net income.

Other charges or gainsconsist of various other types of items that are not directly related to our ongoing or core business results, such as executive separation costs or reversals of bankruptcy bad debt provisions. We exclude these items because they do not affect our core operations. Excluding these amounts provide investors with a basis to compare our company performance against the performance of other companies without this variability.

Adjustment for taxesrelates to the tax effects of the various adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income.

With the exception of net income and diluted earnings per share, the Unaudited Selected Financial Data as presented in Schedules I and II, and the reconciliations as presented in Schedule III and discussed further below represent results from continuing operations. Net income and diluted earnings per share represent results for both continuing and discontinued operations.

(2)	During the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 the Company recognized restructuring charges primarily related to the closures and consolidations of various manufacturing facilities. During the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company also recognized restructuring charges for impairment, lease termination, exit costs and other charges related primarily to the disposal and exit of certain real estate owned and leased by the Company in order to reduce its investment in property, plant and equipment.
	During the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2006 the Company recognized restructuring charges primarily related to the closures and consolidations of various manufacturing facilities.
(3)	During the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized executive separation costs related to the retirement of Michael E. Marks from his position as Chief Executive Officer.
(4)	During the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized net foreign exchange gains related to the liquidation of certain international entities.
(5)	The Company recognized $137,000 and $1.8 million (including $1.3 million attributable to discontinued operations) in tax benefits related to the amortization of our intangible assets during the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2007, and a tax benefit of $23.0 million related to its restructuring activities during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2007. The Company also recognized a $10.0 million tax provision in discontinued operations related to the divestiture of its Software Development and Solutions business during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2007.
	The Company realized $1.4 million and $13.8 million in tax benefits related to its restructuring activities during the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2006, a tax benefit of $2.5 million and $2.9 million (including $744,000 and $2.7 million attributable to discontinued operations) related to the amortization of its intangible assets during the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2006, and a tax provision of $98.9 million (including $30.3 million attributable to discontinued operations) related to the divestiture of its Semiconductor and Network Services division during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2006.
(6)	Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) divides after-tax non-GAAP operating income by an average of net invested capital. After-tax non-GAAP operating income includes after-tax operating income from divested businesses, and excludes intangible amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges. Net invested capital is defined as total assets less current liabilities and non-operating assets. Non-operating assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, notes receivable, deferred income tax assets, net hedging assets, and other non-operating assets.
	We believe ROIC is a useful measure in providing investors with information regarding our performance. ROIC is a widely accepted measure of earnings efficiency in relation to total capital employed. We believe that increasing the return on total capital employed, as measured by ROIC, is an effective method to sustain and increase shareholder value. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of performance.

The following table reconciles ROIC as calculated using after-tax non-GAAP operating income to the same performance measure calculated using the nearest GAAP measure, which is GAAP operating income from continuing operations adjusted for taxes:

	Fiscal Years Ended
	March 31,
ROIC	2007		2006
Non-GAAP		10.4%		9.8%
Restructuring and other charges		-3.4%		-4.2%
Discontinued operations		-0.4%		-0.9%
GAAP		6.6%		4.7%
