(1) Please refer to “Adjustments” below for a discussion of out-of-period adjustments which have been included in our GAAP and Non-GAAP financial statements.
(2) Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for a discussion of how the above non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and why we believe this information is useful to investors. A reconciliation from non-GAAP to GAAP results is contained in the attached financial summary and is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.sanmina-sci.com.
In the fourth quarter ended October 1, 2005, financial management ratios were as follows: cash cycle days improved 3 days to 29 days, inventory turns decreased from 11.3 to 10.3, A/P days improved 3 days to 54 days and DSO improved 3 days to 48 days.
At October 1, 2005, the Company reported $1.17 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as compared to $1.27 billion in the prior quarter. Cash provided by operations during the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year was approximately $174 million and $415 million respectively. During the quarter, the Company reduced its outstanding debt by approximately $225 million as substantially all of the remaining balance of its zero coupon high-yield debt due September 12, 2020 was paid off and retired. At quarter-end, the Company reported a current ratio of 1.83, working capital of $1.72 billion, and stockholders’ equity of $2.38 billion.
“This quarter, Sanmina-SCI demonstrated that our relentless focus on fundamentals and customer service is working, and we have become more efficient in our operations. We are well positioned to capture our share of new business and we are poised to grow at the same rate as the industry. We continue to evolve our company and accelerate new technologies, and we believe our dedication to specific end markets offer the greatest potential to serve our customers. Without question, our ability to deliver innovative technology, price-competitive cost solutions, superior customer service and complete end-to-end manufacturing solutions, while constantly updating and improving our business, are the key drivers to our success and growth,” stated Jure Sola, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sanmina-SCI.
Adjustments
As a result of the Company’s ongoing efforts to remediate the conditions that resulted in the material weakness disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, several adjustments were identified and recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and twelve months ended October 1, 2005 which relate to previous periods.
These adjustments had the following effect on the Company’s reported results of operations for the three month period ended October 1, 2005: (1) the Company’s reported GAAP gross margin of 5.5% excluding these adjustments would have been approximately 6.5%, (2) the reported GAAP operating income of $39.3 million excluding these adjustments would have been approximately $67.8 million, (3) the reported GAAP tax benefit of $3.1 million excluding these adjustments would have been approximately $2.1 million benefit and (4) the reported GAAP net income of $15.1 million excluding these adjustments would have been approximately $42.6 million. The Company concluded that these adjustments were not material to any of the periods affected pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Bulletin No. 28 “Interim Financial Reporting” and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 “Materiality”, and that recording these adjustments in the fourth quarter was therefore appropriate.
Company Outlook
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the Risk Factors reported in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities Exchange Commission for a description of some of the factors that could influence the Company’s ability to achieve the projected results.
The Company provides the following guidance with respect to its first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2005
• Revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.8 billion to $2.9 billion;
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be between $0.06 and $0.08 excluding stock compensation expenses, integration and restructuring costs, impairment charges, other infrequent or unusual items and non-cash interest and amortization expense.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In the summary table set forth above, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share. In computing each of these non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude charges or gains relating to: restructuring costs (including employee severance and benefits costs and charges related to excess facilities and assets), integration costs (consisting of costs associated with the integration of acquired businesses into our operations), impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets, extraordinary gains or losses, non-cash interest and amortization expense and other infrequent or unusual items, to the extent material, which we consider to be of a non-operational nature in the applicable period.
We have furnished these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors in that they eliminate certain financial items that are of a non-recurring, unusual or infrequent nature or are not related to the Company’s regular, ongoing business. Our management also uses this
2
information internally for forecasting, budgeting and other analytical purposes. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to analyze the core financial and operating performance of our Company and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of operating trends. A reconciliation from non-GAAP to GAAP results is contained in the attached financial summary and is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.sanmina-sci.com.
Sanmina-SCI provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent uncertainties associated with forecasting the timing and amount of restructuring, impairment and other unusual and infrequent items.
The non-GAAP financial information presented in this release may vary from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Forward looking guidance for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 is provided only on a non-GAAP basis. The comparable GAAP earnings or loss per share amount is not accessible due to inherent difficulties in predicting certain expenses and gains affecting GAAP earnings or loss, such as the amount and timing of Sanmina-SCI’s restructuring costs, as well as debt security repurchases, if any, that could result in gains or losses reported in GAAP earnings.
