Other focused service offerings relate to manufacturing (including enclosures, metals, plastic injection molding, precision plastics, machining, and mechanicals), system integration and assembly and test services, materials procurement, inventory management, logistics and after-sales services (including product repair, warranty services, re-manufacturing and maintenance) and supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings (including rigid and flexible printed circuit boards and power adapters and chargers). Basis of Presentation 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, 2015 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The first quarters for fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2015 ended on June 26, 2015 , and June 27, 2014 , respectively. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of total shareholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The operating results of the subsidiary attributable to the noncontrolling interests are immaterial for all of the periods presented, and are included in other charges (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncement In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which requires an entity to recognize revenue relating to contracts with customers that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. In order to meet this requirement, the entity must apply the following steps: (i) identify the contracts with the customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, disclosures required for revenue recognition will include qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by a year. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. See note 12 for additional information. (2) Includes adjustments based on management's estimates resulting from their review and finalization of the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition. These adjustments were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company. The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows: As of June 26, 2015 As of March 31, 2015 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net (In thousands) Intangible assets: Customer-related intangibles $ 146,098 $ (83,820 ) $ 62,278 $ 133,853 $ (80,506 ) $ 53,347 Licenses and other intangibles 40,217 (14,002 ) 26,215 39,985 (11,788 ) 28,197 Total $ 186,315 $ (97,822 ) $ 88,493 $ 173,838 $ (92,294 ) $ 81,544 The gross carrying amounts of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts have been fully amortized. During the three -month period ended June 26, 2015 , the value of customer-related intangible assets increased in connection with the Company’s acquisitions, and licenses and other intangibles decreased primarily as a result of additional amortization. The estimated future annual amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows: Fiscal Year Ending March 31, Amount (In thousands) 2016 (1) $ 21,587 2017 21,428 2018 15,677 2019 11,386 2020 6,807 Thereafter 11,608 Total amortization expense $ 88,493 ____________________________________________________________ (1) Represents estimated amortization for the remaining nine -month period ending March 31, 2016 . Other Current Assets Other current assets includes approximately $516.3 million and $600.7 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively for the deferred purchase price receivable from the Company's Global and North American Asset-Backed Securitization programs. See note 10 for additional information. In connection with an acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with a customer and a third party banking institution to procure certain manufacturing equipment that was financed by the third party banking institution, acting as an agent of the customer. The manufacturing equipment was used exclusively for the benefit of this customer. The Company has the ability to settle the obligation related to these financed assets by returning the equipment to the customer and cannot be required to pay cash by either the customer or the third party banking institution. During fiscal year 2015, the Company ceased manufacturing of the product related to the financed equipment. As a result, the Company as an agent on behalf of the customer is in the process of dispositioning the equipment and forwarding the proceeds to the third party banking institution reducing the outstanding obligation. Included in other current assets is the value of the certain assets purchased on behalf of a customer and financed by a third party banking institution in the amounts of $84.3 million and $169.2 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , respectively. Additionally, other current assets as of June 26, 2015 include an amount of $87.1 million relating to these assets that have been sold to third parties but not yet collected. During the three -month period ended June 26, 2015 , the Company disposed of all the assets and the remaining amount of $84.3 million reflects the shortfall between the original purchase price of these assets and the amount recovered by selling them to third parties. The Company expects this amount to be funded by the customer, which in turn would be paid back to the third party banking institution. Other Current Liabilities Other current liabilities include customer working capital advances of $172.7 million and $189.6 million , customer-related accruals of $443.1 million and $454.8 million , and deferred revenue of $301.1 million and $272.6 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , respectively. The customer working capital advances are not interest bearing, do not have fixed repayment dates and are generally reduced as the underlying working capital is consumed in production. Other current liabilities also includes the outstanding balance due to the third party banking institution related to the financed equipment discussed above, that amounted to $172.5 million and $197.7 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , respectively.

As of June 26, 2015 , the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 7.9 million and 7.8 million , respectively, at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.66 and $4.65 per share, respectively. During the three -month period ended June 26, 2015 , the Company granted 5.7 million unvested share bonus awards. Of this amount, approximately 4.8 million unvested share bonus awards have an average grant date price of $12.10 per share, under the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Further, approximately 0.7 million of these unvested shares represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions, and 0.2 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain executive officers whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain free cash flow targets. The number of shares contingent on market conditions that ultimately will vest range from zero up to a maximum of 1.4 million based on a measurement of the percentile rank of the Company’s total shareholder return over a certain specified period against the Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Composite Index and will cliff vest after a period of three years, if such market conditions have been met. The number of shares contingent on free cash flow targets that ultimately will vest range from zero up to a maximum of 0.4 million of the target payment based on a measurement of cumulative three -year increase of free cash flow from operations of the Company, and will cliff vest after a period of three years. As of June 26, 2015 , approximately 17.7 million unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of 3.8 million is contingent primarily on meeting certain market conditions. The number of shares that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to 7.6 million based on the achievement levels of the respective conditions. During the three -month period ended June 26, 2015 , 2.2 million shares vested in connection with the share bonus awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2013, and 0.5 million shares vested in connection with the share bonus awards with market conditions granted in fiscal year 2012. As of June 26, 2015 , total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $146.5 million , net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.03 years. Approximately $22.5 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $595.3 million from the issuance which will be used for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred approximately $7.9 million of costs in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes. The issuance costs were capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the Notes. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, commencing on December 15, 2015. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, rank equally with all of the Company's other existing and future senior and unsecured debt obligations, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally on an unsecured basis, by each of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under, or is a borrower under, the Company's Term Loan Agreement and Revolving Line of Credit. At any time prior to March 15, 2025, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (as defined in the Notes indenture), the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable repurchase date. The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries to create liens; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any funded debt; and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company's assets to, another person, or permit any other person to consolidate, merge, combine or amalgamate with or into the Company. These covenants are subject to a number of significant limitations and exceptions set forth in the indenture. The indenture also provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, cross defaults to certain specified other debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the agreement occurs or is continuing, the applicable trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. As of June 26, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the indenture governing the Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement under which it has agreed to consummate an offer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue new notes having terms substantially identical to the Notes (except that the new notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer) in exchange for outstanding Notes. In some circumstances, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resale of the Notes. If the Company fails to satisfy these obligations, the Company may be required to pay additional interest to holders of the Notes under certain circumstances.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Foreign Currency Contracts The Company primarily enters into forward contracts and foreign currency swap contracts to manage the foreign currency risk associated with monetary accounts and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. As of June 26, 2015 , the aggregate notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency contracts was $5.2 billion as summarized below: Foreign Currency Amount Notional Contract Value in USD Currency Buy Sell Buy Sell (In thousands) Cash Flow Hedges CNY 2,449,000 — $ 394,542 $ — HUF 14,186,000 — 51,001 — ILS 112,700 — 30,024 — MXN 1,560,700 — 101,021 — MYR 220,000 — 58,640 — Other N/A N/A 53,595 6,704 688,823 6,704 Other Foreign Currency Contracts BRL — 581,000 — 188,020 CAD 63,479 56,866 50,900 45,685 CHF 7,709 36,309 8,234 38,829 CNY 540,765 — 86,937 — DKK 196,400 155,700 29,448 23,346 EUR 1,514,440 1,353,824 1,692,028 1,513,387 GBP 29,331 56,807 46,063 89,114 HUF 13,076,000 14,330,000 47,011 51,519 ILS 84,400 53,600 22,484 14,279 JPY 3,935,864 2,966,700 31,855 24,060 MXN 1,326,660 506,980 85,872 32,816 MYR 278,081 22,750 74,121 6,064 SEK 444,196 801,591 53,694 96,277 SGD 34,644 5,774 25,754 4,292 Other N/A N/A 70,483 36,708 2,324,884 2,164,396 Total Notional Contract Value in USD $ 3,013,707 $ 2,171,100 As of June 26, 2015 , the fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was not material and is 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 interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , the Company also has included net deferred losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, relating to the effective portion of changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These deferred losses totaled $3.1 million as of June 26, 2015 , and are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily over the next twelve-month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for all fiscal periods presented and are included as a component of interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 June 26, March 31, Balance Sheet June 26, March 31, (In thousands) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts Other current assets $ 4,498 $ 2,896 Other current liabilities $ 6,160 $ 19,729 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency contracts Other current assets $ 16,369 $ 22,933 Other current liabilities $ 21,606 $ 11,328 The Company has financial instruments subject to master netting arrangements, which provides for the net settlement of all contracts with a single counterparty. The Company does not offset fair value amounts for assets and liabilities recognized for derivative instruments under these arrangements, and 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 period presented.

During the three -month period ended June 27, 2014 , the Company recognized a loss of $11.0 million in connection with the disposition of a manufacturing facility in Western Europe. This loss includes the settlement of unrealized losses of $4.2 million on an insignificant defined benefit plan associated with the disposed facility offset by the release of cumulative foreign currency translation gains of $9.3 million , both of which have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the period. The loss on sale is included in other charges (income), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Substantially all unrealized losses relating to derivative instruments and other, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three -month period ended June 27, 2014 , was recognized as a component of 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.

TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION	Jun. 26, 2015
Accounts, Notes, Loans and Financing Receivable, Gross, Allowance, and Net [Abstract]
TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION	TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and under an accounts receivable factoring program. Asset-Backed Securitization Programs The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade receivables under its Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “Global Program”) and its North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the “North American Program,” collectively, the “ABS Programs”) to affiliated special purpose entities, each of which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. These programs allow the operating subsidiaries to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. Following the transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entities, the transferred receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and upon the sale of the receivables from the special purpose entities to the unaffiliated financial institutions effective control of the transferred receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which has the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Although the special purpose entities are consolidated by the Company, they are separate corporate entities and their assets are available first to satisfy the claims of their creditors. The investment limits set by the financial institutions are $650.0 million for the Global Program and $225.0 million for the North American Program. Both programs require a minimum level of deferred purchase price receivable to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales. The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entities and receives a servicing fee of 0.1% to 0.5% of serviced receivables per annum. Servicing fees recognized during the three -month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 were not material and are included in interest and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets and liabilities are recognized. As of June 26, 2015 , approximately $1.4 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities under the ABS Programs for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of approximately $866.4 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $516.3 million . As of March 31, 2015 , approximately $1.3 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $740.7 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $600.7 million . The portion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid by the unaffiliated financial institutions in cash is a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid to the special purpose entity as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors. The deferred purchase price receivable represents a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables. The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the deferred purchase price receivables received at time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were immaterial for all periods presented. As of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , the accounts receivable balances that were sold under the ABS Programs were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net cash proceeds received by the Company were included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three -month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 , cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $1.1 billion for both periods, for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately $162.7 million and $42.5 million , respectively, represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers). The following table summarizes the activity in the deferred purchase price receivables account: Three-Month Periods Ended June 26, 2015 June 27, 2014 (In thousands) Beginning balance $ 600,672 $ 470,908 Transfers of receivables 767,048 778,860 Collections (851,433 ) (786,644 ) Ending balance $ 516,287 $ 463,124 Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $368.0 million and $485.6 million as of June 26, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , respectively. For the three -month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 , total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $0.6 billion and $1.2 billion , respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the cash received is reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES	Jun. 26, 2015
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. 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 for the most part included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and primarily include investments in equity securities that are valued using active market prices. 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 are comprised of bank 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’s deferred compensation plan assets also 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. The Company has accrued for certain contingent consideration in connection with its business acquisitions, which is measured at fair value based on internal cash flow models and other inputs. During the three -month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 , no additions to accrual, payments or fair value adjustments were incurred. As of June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 , balances of contingent consideration were $4.5 million and $11.3 million , respectively. The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor. Due to its high credit quality and short term maturity the fair value approximates carrying value. Significant increases in either of the major unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, however the impact is not meaningful. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant. Refer to note 10 for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the three -month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 . There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three -month periods ended June 26, 2015 and June 27, 2014 .

BUSINESS AND ASSETS ACQUISITIONS	BUSINESS AND ASSETS ACQUISITIONS During the three -month period ended June 26, 2015 , the Company completed three acquisitions that were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Two of the acquired businesses expanded the Company’s capabilities in the medical devices market, particularly precision plastics and molding within the HRS business group, and the other strengthened capabilities in the household industrial market within the IEI business group. The Company paid $15.3 million , net of $0.1 million of cash held by the acquirees. The Company primarily acquired $2.0 million of property and equipment, assumed liabilities of $0.6 million and recorded goodwill and intangibles of $18.9 million . The results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on the date of these acquisitions. Pro-forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial results for all periods presented. The Company is in the process of evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to business combinations completed during the recent periods. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the respective measurement periods. In the beginning of the Company's second quarter ending September 25, 2015 , the Company completed the acquisition of Mirror Controls International (MCi) from private equity firm Egeria, and paid approximately $555.0 million , net of cash acquired, of which approximately $477.0 million was paid to acquire the entire outstanding share capital of MCi and approximately $78.0 million was to retire pre-existing debt. The financial results of MCi will be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as part of the HRS business group beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Company also paid approximately $69.5 million in the beginning of the second quarter ending September 25, 2015 , to acquire an optical transport plant from Alcatel-Lucent, which will be included in the INS business group.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation and other legal matters On December 11, 2013, Xilinx, Inc. (plaintiff) filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County, California, Superior Court against Flextronics International Ltd.; Flextronics International USA, Inc.; and Flextronics Corporation (Case No. 113CV257431). The complaint asserted various claims, including fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and unfair competition, based on specific alleged incidents concerning our purchases and sales of Xilinx products. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory, statutory, punitive, and other forms of damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees and costs. The plaintiff also seeks a jury trial. Although the outcome of this matter is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of this matter, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries received an assessment for certain sales and import taxes. The tax assessment notice is for nine months of calendar year 2010. This assessment is in the second stage of the review process at the administrative level, and the Company plans to continue to vigorously oppose it as well as any future assessments. The Company is, however, unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of these assessments against our Brazilian subsidiary. While the Company believes there is no legal basis for the alleged liabilities, due to the complexities and uncertainty surrounding the administrative-review and judicial processes in Brazil and the nature of the claims, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on these claims for several years. During fiscal year 2015, one of the Company's non-operating Brazilian subsidiaries received an assessment of approximately $100 million related to income and social contribution taxes, interest and penalties. The Company believes there is no legal basis for the assessment and expects that any losses are remote. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself through the administrative and judicial processes. In addition, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
