1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jabil Circuit, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as the “Company”) is an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services and solutions. The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in the aerospace, automotive, computing, defense, digital home, energy, healthcare, industrial, instrumentation, lifestyles, mobility, mold, networking, packaging, peripherals, storage, telecommunications and wearable technology industries. The Company’s services combine a highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing approach with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability technologies. The Company is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida and has manufacturing operations in the Americas, Europe and Asia. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
a. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the information have been included. The Company has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation, including adjustments related to discontinued operations. Refer to Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” and Note 12 – “Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” for further details. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
b. Use of Accounting Estimates | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements. They also affect the reported amounts of net income. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents for consolidated financial statement purposes. Cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less. At August 31, 2014 and 2013 there were $9.6 million and $6.5 million of cash equivalents, respectively. Management considers the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents to be a reasonable approximation of fair value given the short-term nature of these financial instruments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
d. Inventories | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and use a first in, first out (FIFO) method. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
e. Property, Plant and Equipment, net | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Asset Class | Estimated Useful Life | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Buildings | Up to 35 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvement | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 10 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 5 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Computer hardware and software | 3 to 7 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Transportation equipment | 3 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Certain equipment held under capital leases is classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as they are incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
f. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for goodwill in a purchase business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Amortization of intangible assets, if applicable, occurs over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently under certain circumstances, using a two-step method. The Company conducts this review during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year absent any triggering events. Furthermore, identifiable intangible assets that are determined to have indefinite useful economic lives are not amortized, but are separately tested for impairment at least annually, using a one-step fair value based approach or when certain indicators of impairment are present. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
g. Impairment of Long-lived Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
h. Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s net revenue is principally from the manufacturing services of electronic equipment built to customer specifications. The Company also derives revenue to a lesser extent from design services and excess inventory sales. Revenue from manufacturing services and excess inventory sales is generally recognized, net of estimated product return costs, when goods are shipped; title and risk of ownership have passed; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Design service related revenue is generally recognized upon completion and acceptance by the respective customer. The Company generally assumes no significant obligations after product shipment. Taxes that are collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis. The Company records shipping and handling costs reimbursed by the customer in revenue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
i. Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. Allowances of $2.0 million and $2.6 million were recorded at August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made as necessary. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
j. Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
k. Earnings Per Share | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

No potential common shares relating to outstanding stock awards have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as a result of the Company’s loss from continuing operations for fiscal year 2014. The Company accordingly excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share 3,373,275 restricted stock awards, options to purchase 1,870,150 shares of common stock and 3,864,131 stock appreciation rights for fiscal year 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For fiscal year 2013, options to purchase 3,664,364 shares of common stock and 4,485,266 stock appreciation rights were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For fiscal year 2012, options to purchase 3,748,037 shares of common stock and 4,930,935 stock appreciation rights were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
l. Foreign Currency Transactions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved and remeasurement adjustments for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency are included in operating income. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
m. Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy include: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Refer to Note 3 – “Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs”, Note 8 – “Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations”, Note 9 – “Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits” and Note 13 –“Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for disclosure surrounding the fair value of the Company’s deferred purchase price receivables, debt obligations, pension plan assets and derivative financial instruments, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Refer to Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” for discussion of the Company’s Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock is valued each reporting period using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) based on an interest rate lattice model and is classified as an available for sale security with unrealized gain (loss) recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). The unobservable inputs have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculation of the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. At August 31, 2014, the fair value was $33.5 million, and is included within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
n. Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards. The Company recorded $9.0 million, $62.6 million and $74.9 million of stock-based compensation expense gross of tax effects, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $45.8 million reversal to stock-based compensation expense due to decreased expectations for the vesting of certain restricted stock awards. The Company recorded an additional tax benefit (expense) related to the stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million, $(0.2) million and $1.3 million, which is included in income tax expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in the compensation expense recognized by the Company is $4.7 million, $4.0 million and $4.0 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company capitalizes stock-based compensation costs related to awards granted to employees whose compensation costs are directly attributable to the cost of inventory. At August 31, 2014 and 2013, $0.3 million of stock-based compensation costs were classified as inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash received from exercises under all share-based payment arrangements, including the Company’s ESPP, for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $15.8 million, $18.3 million and $26.0 million, respectively. The proceeds for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were offset by $34.3 million, $20.3 million and $31.2 million, respectively, of restricted shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the minimum amount of its income tax withholding requirements. The fair value of the restricted shares withheld was determined on the date that the restricted shares vested and resulted in the withholding of 1,569,059 shares, 1,184,162 shares and 1,590,721 shares of the Company’s common stock during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The shares have been classified as treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
See Note 11 – “Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion of stock-based compensation expense. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
o. Comprehensive Income | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The unrealized losses on derivative instruments recorded to AOCI during fiscal years 2014 and 2013 are net of tax benefits of $13.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively. The actuarial loss and prior service cost recorded to AOCI at August 31, 2014 are net of a tax benefit (expense) of $8.1 million and $(0.4) million, respectively. The actuarial loss and prior service cost recorded to AOCI at August 31, 2013 are net of a tax benefit (loss) of $6.9 million and $(0.3) million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

p. Derivative Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The Company does not intend to use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Generally, if a derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective, and recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when the hedged item affects earnings. If a derivative instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 13 – “Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for further discussion surrounding the Company’s derivative instruments. |

2. Discontinued Operations | |||||||||||||
On December 17, 2013, the Company announced that it entered into a stock purchase agreement with iQor Holdings, Inc. (“iQor”) for the sale of Jabil’s Aftermarket Services (“AMS”) business for consideration of $725.0 million, which consists of $675.0 million in cash and an aggregate liquidation preference value of $50.0 million in Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of iQor that accretes dividends at an annual rate of 8 percent and is redeemable in nine years or upon a change in control. The final purchase price was reduced by $92.3 million for cash, indebtedness, taxes, interest and certain working capital accounts of the Company’s AMS business, and this adjustment is subject to final reconciliation. Also, as part of this transaction, the Company is subject to a limited covenant not to compete. On April 1, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the AMS business except for the Malaysian operations due to certain regulatory approvals that are still pending in that jurisdiction. As a result, $20.0 million associated with the Malaysian operations was included in escrow until the closing of the Malaysian operations, which is anticipated to occur once such approvals are obtained. In connection with the AMS transaction, the Company entered into a transition services agreement effective April 1, 2014 to provide certain administrative services to facilitate the orderly transfer of the business operations to iQor. This agreement is not material and the continuing cash flows are not significant. As of August 31, 2014, the Malaysian operations meet the criteria for classification as held for sale reporting and AMS meets the criteria for discontinued operations reporting because the Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of AMS after the disposal transaction and the operations and cash flows of AMS have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction. | |||||||||||||
The Company recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of approximately $223.3 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. The Company incurred direct transaction costs in connection with the sale of approximately $16.5 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, which is included in gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax. The income tax expense recognized on the gain on sale of discontinued operations during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 was significantly reduced to $7.6 million primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss related deferred tax assets with corresponding valuation allowances. At April 1, 2014, the fair value of the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock was approximately $33.2 million, which is included in gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax. | |||||||||||||
For all periods presented, the operating results associated with this business have been reclassified into income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs | ' |
3. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs | |
The Company regularly sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable under two asset-backed securitization programs, a factoring agreement and three uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs (collectively referred to herein as the “programs”). The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the programs. Servicing fees related to each of the programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities. | |
Transfers of the receivables under the programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. | |
a. Asset-Backed Securitization Programs | |
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable under its North American asset-backed securitization program, currently scheduled to expire on October 20, 2017 (as the program was renewed on October 21, 2014), and its foreign asset-backed securitization program, currently scheduled to expire on May 15, 2015, (collectively referred to herein as the “asset-backed securitization programs”) to special purpose entities, which in turn sell 100% of the receivables to conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions (for the North American asset-backed securitization program) and an unaffiliated financial institution (for the foreign asset-backed securitization program). The special purpose entity in the North American asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The special purpose entity in the foreign asset-backed securitization program is a separate bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of this special purpose entity as the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, the special purpose entities associated with these asset-backed securitization programs are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Any portion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid in cash upon the sale taking place is recorded as a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid as payments on the receivables are collected. Net cash proceeds of up to a maximum of $200.0 million for the North American asset-backed securitization program are available at any one time. The Company decreased its North American asset-backed securitization program’s facility limit from $300.0 million to $200.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. In connection with the AMS transaction, on January 31, 2014, certain subsidiaries of the Company terminated their sale of receivables under the North American asset-backed securitization program. Net cash proceeds of up to a maximum of $75.0 million for the foreign asset-backed securitization program are available at any one time. The Company decreased its foreign asset-backed securitization program’s facility limit from $200.0 million to $75.0 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. | |
In connection with the asset-backed securitization programs, the Company sold $8.0 billion, $9.0 billion and $8.4 billion of eligible trade accounts receivable during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In exchange, the Company received cash proceeds of $7.4 billion, $8.5 billion and $8.0 billion during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, (of which approximately $4.0 million, $54.2 million and $0.0 million, respectively, represented new transfers and the remainder represented proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers) and a deferred purchase price receivable. At August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the net deferred purchase price receivables recorded in connection with the asset-backed securitization programs totaled approximately $513.0 million, $541.2 million and $477.5 million, respectively. The asset-backed securitization programs require compliance with several covenants. The North American asset-backed securitization program covenants include compliance with the interest coverage ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the five year unsecured credit facility amended as of July 25, 2014 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). The foreign asset-backed securitization program covenants include limitations on certain corporate actions such as mergers and consolidations. | |
The Company recognized pretax losses on the sales of receivables under the asset-backed securitization programs of approximately $3.6 million, $4.3 million and $5.6 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are recorded to other expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | |
The deferred purchase price receivables recorded under the asset-backed securitization programs are recorded initially at fair value as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily discounted cash flows, and due to their credit quality and short-term maturity the fair values approximated book values. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated credit losses and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculations of the deferred purchase price receivables. | |
b. Trade Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreement | |
In connection with a factoring agreement, the Company transfers ownership of eligible trade accounts receivable of a foreign subsidiary without recourse to a third party purchaser in exchange for cash. Proceeds from the transfer reflect the face value of the account less a discount. The discount is recorded as a loss to other expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the sale. In April 2014, the factoring agreement was extended through September 30, 2014, at which time it was automatically renewed for an additional six-month period. | |
The Company sold $1.1 million, $31.2 million and $76.0 million of trade accounts receivable during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and in exchange, received cash proceeds of $1.1 million, $31.2 million and $76.0 million, respectively. The resulting losses on the sales of trade accounts receivables sold under this factoring agreement for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not material, and were recorded to other expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | |
c. Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs | |
In connection with three separate trade accounts receivable sale agreements with unaffiliated financial institutions, the Company may elect to sell, at a discount, on an ongoing basis, up to a maximum of $350.0 million, $150.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of specific trade accounts receivable at any one time. The $350.0 million trade accounts receivable sale agreement is an uncommitted facility that was renewed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and is scheduled to expire on November 28, 2014 (during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company increased its uncommitted capacity from $150.0 million to $350.0 million). The $150.0 million trade accounts receivable sale agreement is an uncommitted facility that was entered into during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 and is subject to expiration on August 31, 2015 as it was extended during the fourth quarter. The $100.0 million trade accounts receivable sale agreement is an uncommitted facility that was entered into during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and is scheduled to expire on November 1, 2014, although any party may elect to terminate the agreement upon 15 days prior notice. The agreement will be automatically extended each year for additional 365 day periods until November 1, 2018, unless any party gives no less than 30 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended. A $200.0 million committed trade accounts receivable sale agreement was amended during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 to decrease the committed capacity from $200.0 million to $0.0 million. A $40.0 million uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale agreement, which the Company was previously party to, was terminated effective March 19, 2014. | |
During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company sold $1.9 billion, $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion of trade accounts receivable under these programs, respectively. In exchange, the Company received cash proceeds of $1.9 billion, $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. The resulting losses on the sales of trade accounts receivable during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not material, and were recorded to other expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the impact of foreign tax rates change was due to the decrease of income in low tax-rate jurisdictions. The changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities decreased due to the enactment of the Mexico 2014 tax reform. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, the valuation allowance decrease was from the partial release of the U.S. valuation allowance due to the Nypro acquisition. | |||||||||||||||
The Company has been granted tax incentives for its Brazilian, Malaysian, Polish, Singaporean and Vietnamese subsidiaries. The majority of the tax incentive benefits expire through 2020 and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. These subsidiaries generated income from continuing operations during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $14.6 million ($0.07 per basic share), $51.5 million ($0.25 per basic share) and $42.5 million ($0.21 per basic share), respectively. The benefits of these incentives are recorded as the impact of foreign tax rates and income tax credits. | |||||||||||||||
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded out-of-period adjustments that increased net income from continuing operations by approximately $17.1 million, which related to fiscal year 2013 income tax benefit adjustments that were recorded in fiscal year 2014. The Company assessed and concluded that these adjustments are not material to either the consolidated quarterly or annual financial statements for all impacted periods. | |||||||||||||||

As of August 31, 2014, the Company had federal, state and foreign income tax net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $241.4 million, $35.9 million, and $593.4 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any. The net operating loss carry forwards in the Company’s major tax jurisdictions expire in fiscal years 2015 through 2034 or have an indefinite carry forward period. The Company has U.S. federal and state tax credit carry forwards of $59.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any. Of the U.S. federal tax credits, $52.2 million expire through 2024, $2.3 million have an indefinite carry forward period and the years of expiration for the remaining $4.7 million cannot yet be determined. Most of the U.S. state tax credits expire through the year 2026. As of August 31, 2014, the foreign jurisdiction tax credits include foreign investment tax credits of $12.9 million that expire in 2017 and are based on the deferral method. | |||||||||||||||
Based on the Company’s historical operating income, projection of future taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded. The net decreases in the total valuation allowance for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 were $19.5 million and $166.9 million, respectively. The fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 decrease is primarily related to the gain on sale of discontinued operations that utilized net operating loss carry forwards and the partial release of the U.S. valuation allowance due to the Nypro acquisition, which were offset by additional losses in sites with existing valuation allowances. | |||||||||||||||
As of August 31, 2014, the Company intends to repatriate the Nypro pre-acquisition undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $221.2 million to the U.S. Therefore, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $77.8 million based on the anticipated U.S. income taxes of the repatriation. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. The aggregate undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded is approximately $2.3 billion as of August 31, 2014. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable. | |||||||||||||||

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties were approximately $18.0 million and $17.0 million at August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognized (derecognized) interest and penalties of approximately $1.0 million, $8.9 million and $(15.6) million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company is no longer subject to | |||||||||||||||
U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2009. In addition, the Company is also subject to audits by state, local, and non-U.S. taxing authorities. In major state and major non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2003 and August 31, 2004, respectively. |

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company performs a goodwill impairment analysis using the two-step method on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of loss, if any. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company completed its annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and determined the fair values of the reporting units were substantially in excess of the carrying values and that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test. For each annual impairment test the Company consistently determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an average weighting of both projected discounted future results and the use of comparative market multiples. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and consist primarily of contractual agreements and customer relationships, which are being amortized over periods of up to 15 years and intellectual property which is being amortized over periods of up to eight years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names. The Company completed its annual impairment test for its indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and determined that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis included assumptions regarding appropriate revenue growth rates, discount rates and royalty rates. No significant residual values are estimated for the amortizable intangible assets. The value of the Company’s intangible assets purchased through business acquisitions is principally determined based on valuations of the net assets acquired.

The 7.750% Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2016 and pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15. Also, the 7.750% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||
(b) | During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2008, the Company issued $250.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, of ten-year, unregistered 8.250% notes at 99.965% of par and 97.5% of par, respectively, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million and $148.5 million, respectively. On July 18, 2008, the Company completed an exchange whereby all of the outstanding unregistered 8.250% notes were exchanged for registered 8.250% notes (collectively the “8.250% Senior Notes”) that are substantially identical to the unregistered notes except that the 8.250% Senior Notes are registered under the Securities Act and do not have any transfer restrictions, registration rights or rights to additional special interest. | ||||||||
The 8.250% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2018 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15. The interest rate payable on the 8.250% Senior Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit ratings assigned to the 8.250% Senior Notes increase or decrease, as provided in the 8.250% Senior Notes. The 8.250% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | |||||||||
c) | During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company issued $400.0 million of ten-year publicly registered 5.625% notes (the “5.625% Senior Notes”) at par.

The net proceeds from the offering of $500.0 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The 4.700% Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2013. The 4.700% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||
(e) | As of August 31, 2014, eight of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have credit facilities that finance their future growth and any corresponding working capital needs. Five of the credit facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, one is denominated in denominated in Brazilian reais, one is denominated in Russian rubles and one is denominated in Taiwan new dollar. The credit facilities incur interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 0.8% to 19.0%. | ||||||||
On July 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility which provides for a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $1.5 billion. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may, subject to lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased up to $2.0 billion and terminates on July 25, 2019. Interest and fees on the Amended and Restated Credit Facility advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service and Moody’s Investors Service, and interest at the Company’s current rating level is subject to a permanent reduction if the Company meets a certain total debt to EBITDA ratio, all as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement. Interest is charged at a rate equal to either 0.000% to 0.650% above the base rate or 1.000% to 1.650% above the Eurocurrency rate, where the base rate represents the greatest of Citibank, N.A.’s base rate, 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero, and the Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR or adjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero, each as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit. The Company, along with its subsidiaries, are subject to the following financial covenants: (1) a maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement) and (2) a minimum ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA to (b) interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all Debt (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement) and loss on sale of accounts receivable. In addition, the Company is subject to other covenants, such as: limitation upon liens; limitation upon mergers, etc.; limitation upon accounting changes; limitation upon subsidiary debt; limitation upon sales, etc. of assets; limitation upon changes in nature of business; payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; limitation upon use of proceeds; compliance with laws, etc.; payment of taxes, etc.; maintenance of insurance; preservation of corporate existence, etc.; visitation rights; keeping of books; maintenance of properties, etc.; transactions with affiliates; and reporting requirements. | |||||||||
During fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $6.1 billion against the Amended and Restated Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $6.3 billion under multiple payments. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $1.0 billion against the Amended and Restated Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $1.0 billion under multiple payments. | |||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an uncommitted credit facility to finance its growth and any corresponding working capital needs. The credit facility provides for a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100.0 million with interest charged at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.7%. | |||||||||
(f) | During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into a master lease agreement with a variable interest entity (the “VIE”) whereby it sells to and subsequently leases back from the VIE up to $60.0 million in certain machinery and equipment for a period of up to five years. In connection with this transaction, the Company holds a variable interest in the VIE, which was designed to hold debt obligations payable to third-party creditors. The proceeds from such debt obligations are utilized to finance the purchase of the machinery and equipment that is then leased by the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE and eliminates all intercompany transactions. At August 31, 2014, the VIE had approximately $37.7 million of total assets, of which approximately $36.9 million was comprised of a note receivable due from the Company, and approximately $37.0 million of total liabilities, of which approximately $36.9 million were debt obligations to the third-party creditors (as the VIE has utilized approximately $36.9 million of the $60.0 million debt obligation capacity). The third-party creditors have recourse to the Company’s general credit only in the event that the Company defaults on its obligations under the terms of the master lease agreement. In addition, the assets held by the VIE can be used only to settle the obligations of the VIE. | ||||||||
In addition to the loans described above, at August 31, 2014, the Company has borrowings outstanding to fund working capital needs. These additional loans total approximately $1.3 million, of which $0.9 million are denominated in Russian rubles and $0.4 million are denominated in U.S. dollars. | |||||||||

9. Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits | |||||||||||||||||||||
Postretirement Benefits | |||||||||||||||||||||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company established a defined benefit pension plan for all permanent employees of Jabil Circuit UK Limited. This plan was established in accordance with the terms of the business sale agreement with Marconi Communications plc (“Marconi”). The benefit obligations and plan assets from the terminated Marconi plan were transferred to the newly established defined benefit plan (the “UK plan”). The UK plan, which is closed to new participants, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over a three-year service period preceding retirement and length of employee service. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in UK employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company. Plan assets are held in trust and consist of equity and debt securities as detailed below. | |||||||||||||||||||||
As a result of acquiring various other operations in Austria, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland and Taiwan, the Company assumed both funded and unfunded retirement benefits to be paid based upon years of service and compensation at retirement (the “other plans”). All permanent employees meeting the minimum service requirement are eligible to participate in the other plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The UK plan and other plans are collectively referred to herein as the “plans.” | |||||||||||||||||||||
There is no domestic pension or post-retirement benefit plan maintained by the Company. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheet, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. | |||||||||||||||||||||
a. Benefit Obligations | |||||||||||||||||||||
The following table provides a reconciliation of the change in the benefit obligations for the plans for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||||||

Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations for the plans for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||
Pension Benefits | |||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Expected long-term return on plan assets | 4.6 | % | 4.9 | % | |||||||||||||||||
Rate of compensation increase | 4.4 | % | 4.5 | % | |||||||||||||||||
Discount rate | 3.3 | % | 4 | % | |||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates these assumptions on a regular basis taking into consideration current market conditions and historical market data. The discount rate is used to state expected cash flows relating to future benefits at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments whose timing would match the cash out flow of retirement benefits. A lower discount rate would increase the present value of benefit obligations and vice versa. Other assumptions include demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover. | |||||||||||||||||||||
b. Plan Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has adopted an investment policy for a majority of plan assets which was set by plan trustees who have the responsibility for making investment decisions related to the plan assets. The plan trustees oversee the investment allocation, including selecting professional investment managers and setting strategic targets. The investment objectives for the assets are (1) to acquire suitable assets that hold the appropriate liquidity in order to generate income and capital growth that, along with new contributions, will meet the cost of current and future benefits under the plan, (2) to limit the risk of the plan assets from failing to meet the plan liabilities over the long-term and (3) to minimize the long-term costs under the plan by maximizing the return on the plan assets. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Investment policies and strategies governing the assets of the plans are designed to achieve investment objectives with prudent risk parameters. Risk management practices include the use of external investment managers; the maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach and security holdings; and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due. Within the equity securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly traded securities including both domestic and international stocks. The plans do not hold any of the Company’s stock. Within the debt securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in corporate bonds as well as fixed and variable interest debt instruments. The Company currently expects to achieve the target mix of 35% equity and 65% debt securities in fiscal year 2015. | |||||||||||||||||||||

(e) | The assets related to The Netherlands plan consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to the Company. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract. | ||||||||||||||||||||

The 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and approved by the stockholders during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and other stock-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be subject to awards under the 2011 Plan is 8,850,000. If any portion of an outstanding award that was granted under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), which was terminated immediately upon the effectiveness of the 2011 Plan, for any reason expires or is canceled or forfeited on or after the date of termination of the 2002 Plan, the shares allocable to the expired, canceled or forfeited portion of such 2002 Plan award shall be available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2011 ESPP”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and approved by the shareholders during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 with 6,000,000 shares authorized for issuance. The offering period beginning July 1, 2011 was the first offering period shares were issued under the 2011 ESPP. The Company also adopted a tax advantaged sub-plan under the 2011 ESPP for its Indian employees. Shares are issued under the Indian sub-plan from the authorized shares under the 2011 ESPP. The offering period ending June 30, 2011 was the final offering period shares were issued under the previous ESPP (the “2002 ESPP”). | |||||||||||||||||||||
a. Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights | |||||||||||||||||||||
There were no stock options and stock appreciation rights granted (collectively known as “Options”), excluding those granted under the ESPP, during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. The total intrinsic value of Options exercised during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million, $1.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively. As of August 31, 2014, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested Options. The total fair value of Options vested during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.0 million, $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||

b. Restricted Stock Awards | |||||||||||||||||||||
Certain key employees have been granted time-based and performance-based restricted stock awards. The time-based restricted awards granted generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted awards generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three to five years and provide a range of vesting possibilities of up to a maximum of 100% or 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the Company awarded approximately 1.9 million time-based restricted stock units and 1.6 million performance-based restricted stock units. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The stock-based compensation expense for these restricted stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock units) is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. For restricted stock awards with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is originally based on the number of shares that would vest if the Company achieved 100% of the performance goal, which was the probable outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, management monitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition. If it becomes probable, based on the Company’s performance, that more or less than the current estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period the probability changes. | |||||||||||||||||||||
During fiscal year 2014, the Company recorded $45.8 million of reversals to stock-based compensation expense due to decreased expectations for the vesting of certain restricted stock awards. | |||||||||||||||||||||
In connection with the sale of the AMS business, the vesting for certain outstanding time-based restricted stock awards previously granted to AMS employees was accelerated. As a result, 0.2 million awards were vested during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, which accelerated approximately $2.4 million of stock-based compensation expense. Such expense is included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||
At August 31, 2014, there was $34.9 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted under the 2002 Plan and 2011 Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||

c. Employee Stock Purchase Plan | |||||||||||||||||||||
Employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP after 90 days of employment with the Company. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation, as defined in the ESPP, at a price equal to 85% of the fair value of the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. There were 1,077,071, 902,691 and 754,598 shares purchased under the ESPP during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At August 31, 2014, a total of 9,350,992 shares had been issued under the ESPP. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of shares issued under the ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the model for each respective period: | |||||||||||||||||||||

a. Concentration of Risk | |||||||||||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various domestic and foreign financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but may generally be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions and attempts to limit exposure with any one institution. With respect to trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on trade receivables. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. For fiscal year 2014, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 45% of its net revenue and 71 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. As the Company is a provider of electronic manufacturing services and solutions and products are built based on customer specifications, it is impracticable to provide revenues from external customers for each product and service. Sales to the following customers who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues, expressed as a percentage of consolidated net revenue, and the percentage of accounts receivable for each customer, were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||

Sales to the above customers were reported in the DMS, E&I and HVS operating segments. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Almost all of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source. | |||||||||||||||||||||
b. Segment Data | |||||||||||||||||||||
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses; for which separate financial information is available; and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of the individual segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company derives its revenue from providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources on a segment basis. At August 31, 2014, the Company’s operating segments consisted of three segments – DMS, E&I and HVS. The DMS segment is composed of dedicated resources to manage higher complexity global products in regulated and other industries and introduce materials and process technologies including design services to global customers. The E&I and HVS segments offer integrated global manufacturing and supply chain solutions designed to provide cost effective solutions for certain customer groups. The E&I segment is focused on customers primarily in the computing, storage, networking and telecommunication sectors. The HVS segment is focused on the particular needs of the consumer products industry, including mobility, display, set-top boxes and peripheral products such as printers and point of sale terminals. | |||||||||||||||||||||
As of September 1, 2014, the Company will report its business in the following two segments: Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and DMS. The EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, sharing of the Company’s large scale manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to serve a broad range of end markets. The EMS segment includes customers primarily in the automotive, computing, digital home, energy, industrial, networking, printing, storage and telecommunications industries. The DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions, heavy participation in consumer markets, access to higher growth markets and a focus on material sciences and technologies. The DMS segment includes customers primarily in the consumer lifestyles, healthcare, mobility and packaging industries. | |||||||||||||||||||||
On April 1, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the AMS business (except for the Malaysian operations due to certain regulatory approvals that are still pending in that jurisdiction), which was included in the DMS segment. Accordingly, for all periods presented, the results of operations of this business are classified as discontinued operations. See Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” for further details. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain on sale of discontinued operations, other expense, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Total segment assets are defined as accounts receivable, inventories, net customer-related property, plant and equipment, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization and goodwill. All other non-segment assets are reviewed on a global basis by management. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate arm’s length. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||
13. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency fluctuation risk and interest rate risk. | |||||||||||||||||||||
All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of AOCI, net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized immediately in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses from changes in fair values are recognized in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. | |||||||||||||||||||||
For derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instruments as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, the Company formally performs an assessment, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, to determine whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the cash flows on the related underlying exposures. | |||||||||||||||||||||
a. Foreign Currency Risk Management | |||||||||||||||||||||
Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $626.9 million and $565.0 million at August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between September 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015. | |||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to derivatives that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding contracts at August 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1.2 billion. | |||||||||||||||||||||

As of August 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company also has included gains and losses in AOCI related to changes in fair value of its derivatives utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes and designated as hedging instruments. These gains and losses were not material and the portion that is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months will be classified as components of net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expense. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all fiscal years presented and are included as components of net revenue, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense and income from discontinued operations, net of tax. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company recognized gains and losses in earnings related to changes in fair value of derivatives utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes and not designated as hedging instruments during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. These amounts were not material and were recognized as components of cost of revenue. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Hedges | |||||||||||||||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million designated as fair value hedges of a portion of the Company’s 7.750% Senior Notes. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company received fixed rate interest payments and paid interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The effect of these swaps was to convert fixed rate interest expense on a portion of the 7.750% Senior Notes to floating rate interest expense. Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded to interest expense and offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying 7.750% Senior Notes. | |||||||||||||||||||||
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps entered into in connection with the 7.750% Senior Notes with a fair value of $12.2 million, including accrued interest of $0.6 million at August 31, 2011. The portion of the fair value that is not accrued interest is recorded as a hedge accounting adjustment to the carrying amount of the 7.750% Senior Notes and is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the 7.750% Senior Notes. The Company recorded $2.4 million in amortization as a reduction to interest expense for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. At August 31, 2014 and 2013, the unamortized hedge accounting adjustment recorded is $4.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Cash Flow Hedges | |||||||||||||||||||||
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap transactions to hedge the fixed interest rate payments for an anticipated debt issuance, which was the issuance of the 8.250% Senior Notes. The swaps were accounted for as a cash flow hedge and had a notional amount of $400.0 million. Concurrently with the pricing of the 8.250% Senior Notes, the Company settled the swaps by its payment of $43.1 million. The ineffective portion of the swaps was immediately recorded to interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The effective portion of the swaps is recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI and is being amortized to interest expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the 8.250% Senior Notes, which is through March 15, 2018. The effective portions of the swaps amortized to interest expense during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not material. Existing losses related to interest rate risk management hedging arrangements that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months are not material. |

a. 2014 Restructuring Plan | |||||||||||||||||||||
In conjunction with the restructuring plan that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 (the “2014 Restructuring Plan”), the Company charged $49.9 million of restructuring and related charges to the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. The 2014 Restructuring Plan was intended to address the termination of the Company’s business relationship with BlackBerry Limited. The restructuring and related charges during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 include cash costs of $16.2 million related to employee severance and benefit costs, $1.7 million related to lease costs and $1.7 million of other related costs, as well as non-cash costs of $30.3 million related to asset write off costs. These restructuring and related charges associated with the 2014 Restructuring Plan were assigned fully to the HVS reportable segment. The Company has substantially completed the restructuring activities under this plan and does not expect to incur any additional costs under the 2014 Restructuring Plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||

b. 2013 Restructuring Plan | |||||||||||||||||||||
In conjunction with the restructuring plan that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in fiscal year 2013 (the “2013 Restructuring Plan”), the Company charged $35.4 million and $80.5 million of restructuring and related charges to the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The 2013 Restructuring Plan is intended to better align the Company’s manufacturing capacity in certain geographies and to reduce the Company’s worldwide workforce in order to reduce operating expenses. These restructuring activities are intended to address current market conditions and customer requirements. The restructuring and related charges for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 include cash costs of $25.0 million and $74.3 million related to employee severance and benefit costs, respectively, $0.5 million and $0.2 million related to lease costs, respectively, and $1.3 million and $0.0 million of other related costs, respectively, as well as non-cash costs of $8.6 million and $6.0 million related to asset write off costs, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $179.0 million, excluding the restructuring and related charges previously incurred for the AMS discontinued operations, in pre-tax restructuring and other related costs primarily over the course of the Company’s fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015 under the 2013 Restructuring Plan. Since the inception of the 2013 Restructuring Plan, a total of $115.9 million of restructuring and related costs have been recognized. Of the $115.9 million recognized to date, $42.9 million was allocated to the DMS segment, $54.0 million was allocated to the E&I segment, $12.2 million was allocated to the HVS segment and $6.8 million was not allocated to a segment. A majority of the total restructuring costs are expected to be related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. The charges related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan, excluding asset write off costs, are currently expected to result in cash expenditures in a range of $131.0 million to $151.0 million that are payable over the course of the Company’s fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015. The exact amount and timing of these charges and cash outflows, as well as the estimated cost ranges by category type, have not been finalized. Much of the 2013 Restructuring Plan as discussed reflects the Company’s intention only and restructuring decisions and the timing of such decisions at certain plants are still subject to the finalization of timetables for the transition of functions and consultation with the Company’s employees and their representatives. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | ' |
New Accounting Guidance | ' |
17. New Accounting Guidance | |
a. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance | |
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test. An entity no longer will be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting guidance became effective for the Company for the annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional information about those amounts. This accounting guidance became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company has elected early adoption for disposals that occurred beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 and that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
b. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | |
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance intended to clarify the applicable guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity that is a business and when there is a loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or a step acquisition involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. Additionally, the new guidance emphasizes that the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income for sales or transfers of a controlling financial interest within a foreign entity is the same irrespective of whether the sale or transfer is of a subsidiary or a group of assets that is a business. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard which will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The accounting standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this standard and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact this new standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard intended to clarify the applicable guidance for the accounting treatment of share-based payments with performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance clarifies that a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting, and should not be treated as a non-vesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. The accounting standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the increases charged to costs and expenses primarily related to losses in sites with existing valuation allowances, which were reduced by the partial release of the U.S. valuation allowance due to the Nypro acquisition. The reductions charged to other accounts primarily related to the gain on sale of discontinued operations that utilized net operating loss carry forwards. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
a. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the information have been included. The Company has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation, including adjustments related to discontinued operations. Refer to Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” and Note 12 – “Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” for further details. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Accounting Estimates | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
b. Use of Accounting Estimates | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements. They also affect the reported amounts of net income. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents for consolidated financial statement purposes. Cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less. At August 31, 2014 and 2013 there were $9.6 million and $6.5 million of cash equivalents, respectively. Management considers the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents to be a reasonable approximation of fair value given the short-term nature of these financial instruments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

d. Inventories | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and use a first in, first out (FIFO) method. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment, net | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
e. Property, Plant and Equipment, net | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Asset Class | Estimated Useful Life | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Buildings | Up to 35 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvement | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 10 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 5 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Computer hardware and software | 3 to 7 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Transportation equipment | 3 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Certain equipment held under capital leases is classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as they are incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
f. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for goodwill in a purchase business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Amortization of intangible assets, if applicable, occurs over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently under certain circumstances, using a two-step method. The Company conducts this review during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year absent any triggering events. Furthermore, identifiable intangible assets that are determined to have indefinite useful economic lives are not amortized, but are separately tested for impairment at least annually, using a one-step fair value based approach or when certain indicators of impairment are present. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
g. Impairment of Long-lived Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
h. Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s net revenue is principally from the manufacturing services of electronic equipment built to customer specifications. The Company also derives revenue to a lesser extent from design services and excess inventory sales. Revenue from manufacturing services and excess inventory sales is generally recognized, net of estimated product return costs, when goods are shipped; title and risk of ownership have passed; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Design service related revenue is generally recognized upon completion and acceptance by the respective customer. The Company generally assumes no significant obligations after product shipment. Taxes that are collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis. The Company records shipping and handling costs reimbursed by the customer in revenue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
i. Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. Allowances of $2.0 million and $2.6 million were recorded at August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made as necessary. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
j. Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

No potential common shares relating to outstanding stock awards have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as a result of the Company’s loss from continuing operations for fiscal year 2014. The Company accordingly excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share 3,373,275 restricted stock awards, options to purchase 1,870,150 shares of common stock and 3,864,131 stock appreciation rights for fiscal year 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For fiscal year 2013, options to purchase 3,664,364 shares of common stock and 4,485,266 stock appreciation rights were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For fiscal year 2012, options to purchase 3,748,037 shares of common stock and 4,930,935 stock appreciation rights were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Transactions | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
l. Foreign Currency Transactions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved and remeasurement adjustments for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency are included in operating income. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
m. Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy include: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Refer to Note 3 – “Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs”, Note 8 – “Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations”, Note 9 – “Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits” and Note 13 –“Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for disclosure surrounding the fair value of the Company’s deferred purchase price receivables, debt obligations, pension plan assets and derivative financial instruments, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Refer to Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” for discussion of the Company’s Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock is valued each reporting period using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) based on an interest rate lattice model and is classified as an available for sale security with unrealized gain (loss) recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). The unobservable inputs have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculation of the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. At August 31, 2014, the fair value was $33.5 million, and is included within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
n. Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards. The Company recorded $9.0 million, $62.6 million and $74.9 million of stock-based compensation expense gross of tax effects, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $45.8 million reversal to stock-based compensation expense due to decreased expectations for the vesting of certain restricted stock awards. The Company recorded an additional tax benefit (expense) related to the stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million, $(0.2) million and $1.3 million, which is included in income tax expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in the compensation expense recognized by the Company is $4.7 million, $4.0 million and $4.0 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company capitalizes stock-based compensation costs related to awards granted to employees whose compensation costs are directly attributable to the cost of inventory. At August 31, 2014 and 2013, $0.3 million of stock-based compensation costs were classified as inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash received from exercises under all share-based payment arrangements, including the Company’s ESPP, for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $15.8 million, $18.3 million and $26.0 million, respectively. The proceeds for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were offset by $34.3 million, $20.3 million and $31.2 million, respectively, of restricted shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the minimum amount of its income tax withholding requirements. The fair value of the restricted shares withheld was determined on the date that the restricted shares vested and resulted in the withholding of 1,569,059 shares, 1,184,162 shares and 1,590,721 shares of the Company’s common stock during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The shares have been classified as treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Derivative Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
p. Derivative Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The Company does not intend to use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Generally, if a derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective, and recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when the hedged item affects earnings. If a derivative instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 13 – “Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for further discussion surrounding the Company’s derivative instruments. |

The $312.0 million of 7.750% senior unsecured notes, $400.0 million of 8.250% senior unsecured notes, $400.0 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes and $500.0 million of 4.700% senior unsecured notes outstanding are carried at the principal amount of each note, less any unamortized discount. The estimated fair value of these senior notes was approximately $349.8 million, | |||||||||
$467.0 million, $439.9 million and $516.4 million, respectively, at August 31, 2014. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data (Level 2 criteria). | |||||||||
(a) | During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company issued $312.0 million of seven-year, publicly-registered 7.750% notes (the “7.750% Senior Notes”) at 96.1% of par, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $300.0 million. The 7.750% Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2016 and pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15. Also, the 7.750% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||
(b) | During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2008, the Company issued $250.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, of ten-year, unregistered 8.250% notes at 99.965% of par and 97.5% of par, respectively, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million and $148.5 million, respectively. On July 18, 2008, the Company completed an exchange whereby all of the outstanding unregistered 8.250% notes were exchanged for registered 8.250% notes (collectively the “8.250% Senior Notes”) that are substantially identical to the unregistered notes except that the 8.250% Senior Notes are registered under the Securities Act and do not have any transfer restrictions, registration rights or rights to additional special interest. | ||||||||
The 8.250% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2018 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15. The interest rate payable on the 8.250% Senior Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit ratings assigned to the 8.250% Senior Notes increase or decrease, as provided in the 8.250% Senior Notes. The 8.250% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | |||||||||
c) | During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company issued $400.0 million of ten-year publicly registered 5.625% notes (the “5.625% Senior Notes”) at par. The net proceeds from the offering of $400.0 million were used to fully repay the term portion of the credit facility dated as of July 19, 2007 (the “Old Credit Facility”) and partially repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s foreign asset-backed securitization program. The 5.625% Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2020. Interest on the 5.625% Senior Notes is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2011. The 5.625% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||
(d) | During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company issued $500.0 million of ten-year publicly registered 4.700% notes (the “4.700% Senior Notes”) at 99.992% of par. The net proceeds from the offering of $500.0 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The 4.700% Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2013. The 4.700% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||
(e) | As of August 31, 2014, eight of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have credit facilities that finance their future growth and any corresponding working capital needs. Five of the credit facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, one is denominated in denominated in Brazilian reais, one is denominated in Russian rubles and one is denominated in Taiwan new dollar. The credit facilities incur interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 0.8% to 19.0%. | ||||||||
On July 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility which provides for a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $1.5 billion. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may, subject to lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased up to $2.0 billion and terminates on July 25, 2019. Interest and fees on the Amended and Restated Credit Facility advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service and Moody’s Investors Service, and interest at the Company’s current rating level is subject to a permanent reduction if the Company meets a certain total debt to EBITDA ratio, all as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement. Interest is charged at a rate equal to either 0.000% to 0.650% above the base rate or 1.000% to 1.650% above the Eurocurrency rate, where the base rate represents the greatest of Citibank, N.A.’s base rate, 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero, and the Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR or adjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero, each as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit. The Company, along with its subsidiaries, are subject to the following financial covenants: (1) a maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement) and (2) a minimum ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA to (b) interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all Debt (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement) and loss on sale of accounts receivable. In addition, the Company is subject to other covenants, such as: limitation upon liens; limitation upon mergers, etc.; limitation upon accounting changes; limitation upon subsidiary debt; limitation upon sales, etc. of assets; limitation upon changes in nature of business; payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; limitation upon use of proceeds; compliance with laws, etc.; payment of taxes, etc.; maintenance of insurance; preservation of corporate existence, etc.; visitation rights; keeping of books; maintenance of properties, etc.; transactions with affiliates; and reporting requirements. | |||||||||
During fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $6.1 billion against the Amended and Restated Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $6.3 billion under multiple payments. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $1.0 billion against the Amended and Restated Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $1.0 billion under multiple payments. | |||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an uncommitted credit facility to finance its growth and any corresponding working capital needs. The credit facility provides for a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100.0 million with interest charged at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.7%. | |||||||||
(f) | During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into a master lease agreement with a variable interest entity (the “VIE”) whereby it sells to and subsequently leases back from the VIE up to $60.0 million in certain machinery and equipment for a period of up to five years. In connection with this transaction, the Company holds a variable interest in the VIE, which was designed to hold debt obligations payable to third-party creditors. The proceeds from such debt obligations are utilized to finance the purchase of the machinery and equipment that is then leased by the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE and eliminates all intercompany transactions. At August 31, 2014, the VIE had approximately $37.7 million of total assets, of which approximately $36.9 million was comprised of a note receivable due from the Company, and approximately $37.0 million of total liabilities, of which approximately $36.9 million were debt obligations to the third-party creditors (as the VIE has utilized approximately $36.9 million of the $60.0 million debt obligation capacity). The third-party creditors have recourse to the Company’s general credit only in the event that the Company defaults on its obligations under the terms of the master lease agreement. In addition, the assets held by the VIE can be used only to settle the obligations of the VIE. | ||||||||
In addition to the loans described above, at August 31, 2014, the Company has borrowings outstanding to fund working capital needs. These additional loans total approximately $1.3 million, of which $0.9 million are denominated in Russian rubles and $0.4 million are denominated in U.S. dollars. | |||||||||
(g) | During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company acquired various capital lease obligations in connection with the acquisition of Nypro. | ||||||||

(e) | The assets related to The Netherlands plan consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to the Company. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract. | ||||||||||||||||||||

[1] | As of August 31, 2014, eight of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have credit facilities that finance their future growth and any corresponding working capital needs. Five of the credit facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, one is denominated in denominated in Brazilian reais, one is denominated in Russian rubles and one is denominated in Taiwan new dollar. The credit facilities incur interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 0.8% to 19.0%. On July 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility which provides for a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $1.5 billion. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may, subject to lenders' discretion, potentially be increased up to $2.0 billion and terminates on July 25, 2019. Interest and fees on the Amended and Restated Credit Facility advances are based on the Company's non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service and Moody's Investors Service, and interest at the Company's current rating level is subject to a permanent reduction if the Company meets a certain total debt to EBITDA ratio, all as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement. Interest is charged at a rate equal to either 0.000% to 0.650% above the base rate or 1.000% to 1.650% above the Eurocurrency rate, where the base rate represents the greatest of Citibank, N.A.'s base rate, 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero, and the Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR or adjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero, each as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit. The Company, along with its subsidiaries, are subject to the following financial covenants: (1) a maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement) and (2) a minimum ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA to (b) interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all Debt (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility agreement) and loss on sale of accounts receivable. In addition, the Company is subject to other covenants, such as: limitation upon liens; limitation upon mergers, etc.; limitation upon accounting changes; limitation upon subsidiary debt; limitation upon sales, etc. of assets; limitation upon changes in nature of business; payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; limitation upon use of proceeds; compliance with laws, etc.; payment of taxes, etc.; maintenance of insurance; preservation of corporate existence, etc.; visitation rights; keeping of books; maintenance of properties, etc.; transactions with affiliates; and reporting requirements. During fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $6.1 billion against the Amended and Restated Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $6.3 billion under multiple payments. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $1.0 billion against the Amended and Restated Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $1.0 billion under multiple payments. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an uncommitted credit facility to finance its growth and any corresponding working capital needs. The credit facility provides for a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100.0 million with interest charged at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.7%. | |||
[2] | During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into a master lease agreement with a variable interest entity (the "VIE") whereby it sells to and subsequently leases back from the VIE up to $60.0 million in certain machinery and equipment for a period of up to five years. In connection with this transaction, the Company holds a variable interest in the VIE, which was designed to hold debt obligations payable to third-party creditors. The proceeds from such debt obligations are utilized to finance the purchase of the machinery and equipment that is then leased by the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE and eliminates all intercompany transactions. At August 31, 2014, the VIE had approximately $37.7 million of total assets, of which approximately $36.9 million was comprised of a note receivable due from the Company, and approximately $37.0 million of total liabilities, of which approximately $36.9 million were debt obligations to the third-party creditors (as the VIE has utilized approximately $36.9 million of the $60.0 million debt obligation capacity). The third-party creditors have recourse to the Company's general credit only in the event that the Company defaults on its obligations under the terms of the master lease agreement. In addition, the assets held by the VIE can be used only to settle the obligations of the VIE. In addition to the loans described above, at August 31, 2014, the Company has borrowings outstanding to fund working capital needs. These additional loans total approximately $1.3 million, of which $0.9 million are denominated in Russian rubles and $0.4 million are denominated in U.S. dollars. | |||

[7] | During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company issued $400.0 million of ten-year publicly registered 5.625% notes (the "5.625% Senior Notes") at par.

[5] | The assets related to The Netherlands plan consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to the Company. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract. |

[1] | During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company issued $312.0 million of seven-year, publicly-registered 7.750% notes (the "7.750% Senior Notes") at 96.1% of par, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $300.0 million. The 7.750% Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2016 and pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15. Also, the 7.750% Senior Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[2] | During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2008, the Company issued $250.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, of ten-year, unregistered 8.250% notes at 99.965% of par and 97.5% of par, respectively, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million and $148.5 million, respectively. On July 18, 2008, the Company completed an exchange whereby all of the outstanding unregistered 8.250% notes were exchanged for registered 8.250% notes (collectively the "8.250% Senior Notes") that are substantially identical to the unregistered notes except that the 8.250% Senior Notes are registered under the Securities Act and do not have any transfer restrictions, registration rights or rights to additional special interest. The 8.250% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2018 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15. The interest rate payable on the 8.250% Senior Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit ratings assigned to the 8.250% Senior Notes increase or decrease, as provided in the 8.250% Senior Notes. The 8.250% Senior Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
