Celestica announces fourth quarter and FY2009 financial results
Jan 27, 10 at 4:10 PM EST
TORONTO, Jan 27, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Fourth Quarter Results
----------------------
Revenue for the quarter was $1,664 million, compared to $1,935 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, reflecting primarily the impacts of weaker end-market demand. GAAP net earnings were $31.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $822.2 million, or $3.58 per share, for the same period last year. GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008 was primarily a result of an $850.5 million, or $3.71 per share, write-off for impairment of goodwill.
Adjusted net earnings (using the revised definition discussed below) for the quarter were $49.5 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to adjusted net earnings of $65.2 million, or $0.28 per share, for the same period last year. The term adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP measure defined as net earnings (loss) before other charges, amortization of intangible assets (excluding amortization of computer software), total stock-based compensation including option and restricted stock expense (see "Adjusted Net Earnings Revised Definition" below), and gains or losses related to the repurchase of shares and debt, net of tax and significant deferred tax write-offs or recoveries. Detailed GAAP financial statements and supplementary information related to adjusted net earnings, other non-GAAP metrics and the revised definitions appears at the end of this press release. All non-GAAP measures disclosed in this release, including comparables for prior periods, reflect the revised definitions, unless otherwise specified.
Fourth Quarter Results Compared to Guidance
-------------------------------------------
The company's revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $1.66 billion compares to the company's published guidance, announced on October 22, 2009, of revenue of $1.55 billion to $1.70 billion.
The company's published guidance on October 22, 2009 for adjusted net earnings per share of $0.14 to $0.20 did not reflect the revised definition for this metric. The guidance for adjusted net earnings per share, using the revised definition, would have been $0.16 to $0.22. The company's adjusted net earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $0.21, and met the high end of this range.
Annual Results
--------------
For 2009, revenue was $6,092 million, compared to $7,678 million for 2008. GAAP net earnings were $55.0 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $720.5 million, or $3.14 per share, for 2008. Adjusted net earnings for 2009 were $158.5 million, or $0.69 per share, compared to $204.2 million, or $0.89 per share, in 2008.
"Celestica continued to deliver strong operational and financial performance in the fourth quarter as end-market demand strengthened," said Craig Muhlhauser, President & CEO. "In 2009, our continuously improving operational effectiveness and cost productivity resulted in some of the strongest financial results in the company's history. We believe the company is very well positioned to build on its 2009 successes and momentum in 2010."
2011 Debt Redemption
--------------------
In November 2009, the company redeemed its outstanding 7.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "2011 Notes") for $346.1 million, excluding accrued interest. The 2011 Notes had a principal amount of $339.4 million. The company recorded a gain of $10.4 million on redemption. This gain is excluded from adjusted net earnings.
2013 Debt Redemption
--------------------
The company announced that it will exercise its option to redeem all of its outstanding 7.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "2013 Notes").
The outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Notes is $223.1 million. In accordance with the terms of the Notes, the redemption will be at a price of 103.813% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The redemption will be funded out of the company's existing cash resources. Giving effect to the redemption of the 2013 Notes at December 31, 2009, the company would have had approximately $706 million in cash and no long-term debt outstanding. The company expects to complete the redemption in the first quarter of 2010. The redemption will reduce the company's annual net interest expense by approximately $17 million.
First Quarter of 2010 Outlook
-----------------------------
For the first quarter ending March 31, 2010, the company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $1.45 billion to $1.60 billion, and adjusted net earnings per share to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.21.
Fourth Quarter Webcast
----------------------
Management will host its quarterly results conference call today at 4:15 p.m. Eastern. The webcast can be accessed at www.celestica.com.
Supplementary Information
-------------------------
In addition to disclosing detailed results in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Celestica provides supplementary non-GAAP measures as a method to evaluate the company's operating performance. See table below.
Management uses adjusted net earnings (and other non-GAAP metrics) as a measure of enterprise-wide performance. Management believes adjusted net earnings is a useful measure for management, as well as investors, to facilitate period-to-period operating comparisons at the company and with its major North American EMS competitors. As discussed below under "Adjusted Net Earnings Revised Definition," beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009, the company revised its definition of adjusted net earnings. Adjusted net earnings do not include the effects of other charges, most significantly the write-down of goodwill and long-lived assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or debt and the related income tax effect of these adjustments, and any significant deferred tax write-offs or recoveries. The company also excludes the following recurring charges: restructuring costs, total stock-based compensation (including option and restricted stock expense), the amortization of intangible assets (except amortization of computer software), and the related income tax effect of these adjustments. The term adjusted net earnings does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted net earnings is not a measure of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings prepared in accordance with Canadian or U.S. GAAP. The company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings, which is a non-GAAP measure, to Canadian GAAP net earnings (loss) below.

Such forward-looking statements may, without limitation, be preceded by, followed by, or include words such as "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", "intends", "plans", or similar expressions, or may employ such future or conditional verbs as "may", "will", "should" or "would", or may otherwise be indicated as forward-looking statements by grammatical construction, phrasing or context. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and in any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. You should understand that the following important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements: the challenges of effectively managing our operations during uncertain economic conditions, including significant changes in demand from our customers as a result of an uncertain or weak economic environment; the risk of potential non-performance by counterparties, including but not limited to financial institutions, customers and suppliers; the effects of price competition and other business and competitive factors generally affecting the EMS industry, including changes in the trend for outsourcing; our dependence on a limited number of customers; variability of operating results among periods; the challenge of managing our financial exposures to foreign currency fluctuations; the challenge of responding to changes in customer demand; our inability to retain or grow our business due to execution problems resulting from significant headcount reductions, plant closures and product transfers associated with restructuring activities; our dependence on industries affected by rapid technological change; our ability to successfully manage our international operations; and the delays in the delivery and/or general availability of various components and materials used in our manufacturing process. These and other risks and uncertainties, as well as other information related to the company, are discussed in the Company's various public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F and subsequent reports on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian Securities Commissions. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Except as required by applicable law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
As of its date, this press release contains any material information associated with the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009 and revenue and adjusted net earnings guidance for the first quarter ending March 31, 2010. Revenue and earnings guidance is reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors. Our revenue and earnings guidance is based on various assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the current circumstances, but may prove to be inaccurate, and many of which involve factors that are beyond the control of the Company. The material assumptions may include the following: forecasts from our customers, which range from 30 to 90 days; timing and investments associated with ramping new business; general economic and market conditions; currency exchange rates; pricing and competition; anticipated customer demand; supplier performance and pricing; commodity, labor, energy and transportation costs; operational and financial matters; technological developments; and the timing and execution of our restructuring plan. These assumptions are based on management's current views with respect to current plans and events, and are and will be subject to the risks and uncertainties referred to above. It is Celestica's policy that revenue and earnings guidance is effective on the date given, and will only be updated through a public announcement.
Adjusted Net Earnings Revised Definition
----------------------------------------
Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009, the company revised the definition of its non-GAAP adjusted net earnings metric to exclude (in addition to the items excluded under the previous definition) all stock-based compensation expense (consisting of option and restricted stock expense) to allow for a better comparison with its major North American EMS competitors.
For consistency, Celestica has made similar changes in the definitions of the following additional non-GAAP metrics: adjusted gross margin; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A); earnings before interest, amortization and taxes (EBIAT or adjusted operating margin); adjusted net earnings per share; and return on invested capital (ROIC).
Prior to this quarter, option expense was the only stock-based compensation item excluded from the adjusted net earnings definition and other non-GAAP metrics. As a result of the changed definitions, Celestica now excludes (in addition to the items excluded under the previous definition) restricted stock expense and any other stock compensation expense that may arise, which it did not exclude under the previous definition.
All non-GAAP measures disclosed in this release, including comparables for prior periods, reflect the revised definitions, unless otherwise specified.
Set out below is a table showing these metrics, the impact on these metrics from the definition change, and a reconciliation of these metrics to the most comparable GAAP metrics. A supplemental information table showing side-by-side comparisons reflecting the impact of this definition change for each quarter of 2008 and 2009, and on an annual basis for the years 2005 to 2009, is available in the Investor Relations section at www.celestica.com.
While Celestica only provides guidance for adjusted net earnings for the upcoming quarter, please note that financial estimates with respect to Celestica for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for future periods, published by third-party research analysts, institutional investors, the media and other organizations prior to and possibly following this press release, may solely reflect Celestica's previous definition of adjusted net earnings, may not reflect Celestica's revised definition of adjusted net earnings, and may be subject to change by these persons to reflect our definition change.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Canadian GAAP net earnings (loss) to adjusted net earnings and other non-GAAP metrics (in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts):

(1) Total stock-based compensation, comprised of option and restricted
stock expense, is excluded from the calculation of adjusted net
earnings, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating
margin (EBIAT) and return on invested capital (ROIC). Prior to the
fourth quarter of 2009, option expense was the only stock-based
compensation item excluded from the calculation of these metrics.
The following table shows (in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts) how the revised definition has resulted in an increase or decrease in certain items and operating metrics as compared to the amounts previously reported using the previous definition:

(a) excluded the impact of a mark-to-market accounting adjustment related
to restricted stock awards totaling $10.9 million recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2009 (cost of sales - $5.2 million; SG&A - $5.7 million). See
note 8(a) to the December 31, 2009 interim consolidated financial
statements.
(2) Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess operating
performance. As discussed above, we revised our definition of each of
these measures commencing with the results for the fourth quarter of
2009. Management believes that each of these measures is an
appropriate metric for management, as well as investors, to compare
operating performance from period-to-period. Adjusted gross profit is
calculated by excluding total stock-based compensation from GAAP
gross profit as shown in the "Reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted net
earnings" table above. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by
dividing adjusted gross profit by revenue. Adjusted SG&A is
calculated by excluding total stock-based compensation from GAAP
SG&A, as shown in the "Reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted net
earnings" table above. Adjusted SG&A percentage is calculated by
dividing adjusted SG&A by revenue. Neither adjusted gross profit,
adjusted gross margin, nor adjusted SG&A has any standardized meaning
prescribed by Canadian or U.S. GAAP, and no such measure is therefore
likely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. Neither adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, nor
adjusted SG&A is a measure of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP
and no such measure should be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for any standardized measure.
(3) Certain 2008 GAAP numbers have been restated to reflect the change in
accounting for computer software effective January 1, 2009 as
required under Canadian GAAP. For the fourth quarter of 2008, $3.1
million in amortization of computer software has been reclassified
from SG&A expenses to amortization of intangible assets (2008 - $11.8
million). Amortization of computer software is not excluded for EBIAT
or adjusted net earnings. There is no impact to our current or
previously reported EBIAT, adjusted net earnings or net earnings
(loss) for this change in accounting.
(4) Management uses EBIAT (adjusted operating margin) as a measure to
assess operating performance. As discussed above, we revised our
definition of EBIAT commencing with the results for the fourth
quarter of 2009. Excluded from EBIAT are the effects of other
charges, most significantly the write-down of goodwill and long-lived
assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or debt, and the
related income tax effect of these adjustments, and any significant
deferred tax write-offs or recoveries. We also exclude the following
recurring charges: restructuring costs, total stock-based
compensation (including option and restricted stock expense),
amortization of intangible assets (except amortization of computer
software), interest expense or income, and the related income tax
effect of these adjustments. Management believes EBIAT, which
isolates operating activities before interest and taxes, is an
appropriate measure for management, as well as investors, to compare
the company's operating performance from period-to-period. The term
EBIAT does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian
or U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies. EBIAT is not a measure of
performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings prepared in
accordance with Canadian or U.S. GAAP.
(5) Management uses ROIC as a measure to assess the effectiveness of the
invested capital it uses to build products or provide services to its
customers. As discussed above, we revised our definition of ROIC
commencing with the results for the fourth quarter of 2009. The ROIC
metric used by the company includes operating margin, working capital
management and asset utilization. ROIC is calculated by dividing
EBIAT (defined in (4) above) by average net invested capital. Net
invested capital consists of total assets less cash, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable. We use a two-
point average to calculate average net invested capital for the
quarter and a five-point average to calculate average net invested
capital for the year. Management believes ROIC is an appropriate
metric for management, as well as investors, to compare operating
performance from period-to-period. The term ROIC does not have any
standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian or U.S. GAAP and is
therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by
other companies. ROIC is not a measure of performance under Canadian
or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for any standardized measure. There is no comparable
measure under GAAP.
(6) Management uses free cash flow as a measure to assess cash flow
performance. Free cash flow is calculated as cash generated from
operations less capital expenditures (net of proceeds from the sale
of surplus property and equipment). Management believes free cash
flow is an appropriate metric for management, as well as investors,
to compare cash flow performance from period-to-period. The term free
cash flow does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
Canadian or U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow is not
a measure of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized
measure. There is no comparable measure under GAAP.

quarter was $0.21 and met the high end of this range.
(8) Guidance for the first quarter of 2010 is provided only on an
adjusted net earnings basis. This is due to the difficulty in
forecasting the various items impacting GAAP net earnings, such as
the amount and timing of our restructuring and debt repurchase
activities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies:
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada.
The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements do not include all requirements of Canadian GAAP for
annual financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2008 annual
consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly our financial position as at
December 31, 2009 and the results of operations, comprehensive income
(loss), and cash flows for the three months and years ended December 31,
2008 and 2009.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We
applied significant estimates and assumptions to our valuations against
inventory and income taxes, to the amount and timing of restructuring
charges or recoveries, to the fair values used in testing long-lived
assets, and to valuing our pension costs. We evaluate our estimates and
assumptions on a regular basis, based on historical experience and other
relevant factors. Actual results could differ materially from those
estimates and assumptions, especially in light of the economic
environment and uncertainties.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon
accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the
2008 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the following:
Changes in accounting policies:
(i) Goodwill and intangible assets:
On January 1, 2009, we adopted CICA Handbook Section 3064, "Goodwill and
intangible assets." This revised standard establishes guidance for the
recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible
assets, including internally generated intangible assets. As required by
this standard, we have retroactively reclassified computer software
assets on our consolidated balance sheet from property, plant and
equipment to intangible assets. We have also reclassified computer
software amortization on our consolidated statement of operations from
depreciation expense, included in selling, general and administrative
expenses, to amortization of intangible assets. There is no impact on
previously reported net earnings or loss.

------- ------- ------- -------
Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
(a) International financial reporting standards (IFRS):
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board announced the
adoption of IFRS for publicly accountable enterprises. IFRS will replace
Canadian GAAP effective January 1, 2011. IFRS is effective for our first
quarter of 2011 and will require that we restate our 2010 comparative
numbers under IFRS. Our IFRS transition plan is progressing according to
our implementation schedule. We will disclose our preliminary IFRS
accounting policy decisions in our 2009 annual management's discussion
and analysis. Although we have identified key accounting policy
differences, we cannot at this time determine the impact of IFRS on our
consolidated financial statements.
(b) Business combinations:
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1582, "Business
combinations," which replaces the existing standards. This section
establishes the standards for the accounting of business combinations,
and states that all assets and liabilities of an acquired business will
be recorded at fair value. Obligations for contingent considerations and
contingencies will also be recorded at fair value at the acquisition
date. The standard states that acquisition-related costs will be expensed
as incurred and that restructuring charges will be expensed in the
periods after the acquisition date. This standard is equivalent to the
IFRS on business combinations. This standard is applied prospectively to
business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our
consolidated financial statements.
(c) Consolidated financial statements:
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1601, "Consolidated
financial statements," which replaces the existing standards. This
section establishes the standards for preparing consolidated financial
statements and is effective for 2011. We are currently evaluating the
impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial
statements.
(d) Financial instruments - disclosures:
Effective December 31, 2009, we adopted the amendment issued by the CICA
to Handbook Section 3862, "Financial instruments - disclosures," which
requires enhanced disclosures on liquidity risk of financial instruments
and new disclosures on fair value measurements of financial instruments.
These requirements correspond to the IFRS on financial instruments
disclosures and will be included in our 2009 annual consolidated
financial statements.
2. Inventories:
During 2009, we recorded a net inventory valuation reversal through cost
of sales of $1.0 to reflect changes in the value of our inventory to net
realizable value.

(a) In April 2009, we renewed our revolving credit facility on generally
similar terms and conditions, and reduced the size from $300.0 to
$200.0, with a maturity of April 2011. Under the terms of the renewed
facility, borrowings bear a higher interest rate than under the
previous terms and we are required to comply with certain restrictive
covenants relating to debt incurrence, the sale of assets, a change
of control and certain financial covenants related to indebtedness,
interest coverage and liquidity. There were no borrowings outstanding
under the facility at December 31, 2009. Commitment fees for 2009
were $2.1. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31,
2009. Based on the required financial ratios at December 31, 2009, we
have full access to this facility.
We also have uncommitted bank overdraft facilities available for
operating requirements which total $65.0 at December 31, 2009. There
were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities at December 31,
2009.
(b) In June 2004, we issued the 2011 Notes with a principal amount of
$500.0 and a fixed interest rate of 7.875%. In June 2005, we issued
the 2013 Notes with a principal amount of $250.0 and a fixed interest
rate of 7.625%. We repurchased the 2011 Notes in the first and fourth
quarters of 2009. See notes 3(d) and (e). In January 2010, we
announced our intention to redeem our 2013 Notes. See note 12.
The 2013 Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to
our secured debt. The 2013 Notes have restrictive covenants that
limit our ability to pay dividends, repurchase our own stock or repay
debt that is subordinated to the Notes. These covenants also place
limitations on the sale of assets and our ability to incur additional
debt. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2009.
(c) In connection with the 2011 Notes, we entered into agreements to swap
the fixed interest rate with a variable interest rate based on LIBOR
plus a margin. In February 2009, we terminated the interest rate swap
agreements. Interest on the 2011 Notes was fixed at 7.875% after
termination of the swap agreement through to the redemption of the
debt in the fourth quarter of 2009. The average interest rate was
7.875% and 7.0%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2009 and
year ended December 31, 2009, through to the redemption of the debt
(6.9% and 6.5%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2008 and year
ended December 31, 2008). See note 3(d).
(d) In March 2009, we paid $149.7, excluding accrued interest, to
repurchase 2011 Notes with a principal amount of $150.0. In November
2009, we redeemed the remaining 2011 Notes and paid $346.1, excluding
accrued interest, to repurchase 2011 Notes with a principal amount of
$339.4. We recognized a gain of $9.1 in the first quarter of 2009 and
a gain of $10.4 in the fourth quarter of 2009 on the repurchase of
the 2011 Notes which we recorded in other charges. See note 4. The
gains on the repurchases were measured based on the carrying value of
the repurchased portion of the 2011 Notes on the dates of repurchase.
In the first quarter of 2009, we terminated the interest rate swap
agreements related to the 2011 Notes and received $14.7 in cash,
excluding accrued interest, as settlement of these agreements. In
connection with the termination of the swap agreements, we
discontinued fair value hedge accounting on the 2011 Notes. In the
first quarter of 2009, we recorded a write-down, through other
charges, of $15.6 in the carrying value of the embedded prepayment
option on the 2011 Notes to reflect the change in fair value upon
hedge de-designation. See note 4. We amortized the historical fair
value adjustment on the 2011 Notes until the Notes were repaid, using
the effective interest rate method. This amortization is recorded as
a reduction of interest expense on long-term debt. Also see note 12.
(e) During the fourth quarter of 2008, we paid a total of $30.4,
excluding accrued interest, to repurchase 2011 Notes with a principal
amount of $10.6 and to repurchase 2013 Notes with a principal amount
of $26.9. We recognized a gain of $7.6 on the repurchase of the Notes
which we recorded in other charges. See note 4. The gain on the
repurchase was measured based on the carrying values of the
repurchased portion of the Notes on the dates of repurchase.
(f) The prepayment option in our Notes qualify as embedded derivatives
which we bifurcated for reporting. As of December 31, 2009, the fair
value of the embedded derivative asset is $1.5 for the 2013 Notes and
is recorded against long-term debt. The decrease in the fair value of
the embedded derivative asset from December 31, 2008 primarily
reflects the write-down upon hedge de-designation described in note 3
(d). We also recorded a write-down, through other charges, of $1.1 to
eliminate the carrying value of the embedded prepayment option on the
2011 Notes in the third quarter of 2009, when we announced our
intention to redeem the 2011 Notes. See note 4. As a result of
bifurcating the prepayment option, a basis adjustment is added to the
cost of long-term debt. We amortize the basis adjustment over the
term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. The
amortization of the basis adjustment is recorded as a reduction of
interest expense on long-term debt.
The unamortized fair value adjustment on the 2011 Notes attributable
to movements in the benchmark interest rates decreased from $40.9 at
December 31, 2008 to zero at December 31, 2009 primarily as a result
of the debt repurchases and hedge de-designation described in note 3
(d). After the hedge de-designation, we amortized the fair value
adjustment to interest expense on long-term debt until the 2011 Notes
were redeemed. Upon redemption of the 2011 Notes in the fourth
quarter of 2009, the related basis adjustment, the unamortized debt
issue costs and the unamortized fair value adjustment were eliminated
in determining the gain that we recorded in other charges.
We applied fair value hedge accounting to our interest rate swaps and
our hedged debt obligation (2011 Notes) until February 2009. We also
mark-to-market the bifurcated embedded prepayment options in our debt
instruments until the options are extinguished. The changes in the
fair values each period are recorded in interest expense on long-term
debt, except for the write-down of the embedded prepayment option due
to hedge de-designation or debt repurchase which is recorded in other
charges. The mark-to-market adjustment fluctuates each period as it
is dependent on market conditions, including future interest rates,
implied volatility and credit spreads. The impact on our results of
operations is as follows:

------- ------- ------- -------
(a) Restructuring:
In January 2008, we estimated that a restructuring charge of between $50
and $75 would be recorded throughout 2008 and 2009. In light of the
continued uncertain economic environment, we determined that further
restructuring actions were required to improve our overall utilization
and reduce overhead costs. In July 2009, we announced additional
restructuring charges of between $75 and $100. Combined, we expect to
incur total restructuring charges of between $150 and $175 associated
with this program. During 2008 and 2009, we recorded a total of $118.4 in
restructuring charges. Of that amount, $13.5 was recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2009. We expect to complete these restructuring actions by the
end of 2010. We recognize the restructuring charges as the detailed plans
are finalized.
Our restructuring actions include consolidating facilities and reducing
our workforce. The majority of the employees terminated are manufacturing
and plant employees in the Americas, Europe and the Philippines. For
leased facilities that we no longer use, the lease costs included in the
restructuring costs represent future lease payments less estimated
sublease recoveries. Adjustments are made to lease and other contractual
obligations to reflect incremental cancellation fees paid for terminating
certain facility leases and to reflect changes in the accruals for other
leases due to delays in the timing of sublease recoveries, changes in
estimated sublease rates, or changes in use, relating principally to
facilities in the Americas. We expect our long-term lease and other
contractual obligations to be paid out over the remaining lease terms
through 2015. Our restructuring liability is recorded in accrued
liabilities.

As of December 31, 2009, we have approximately $23.0 in assets that are
held-for-sale, primarily land and buildings, as a result of the
restructuring actions we have implemented. We have programs underway to
sell these assets.
(b) Goodwill impairment:
Our goodwill balance prior to the 2008 impairment charge was $850.5 and
was established primarily as a result of an acquisition in 2001. All
goodwill was allocated to our Asia reporting unit.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we performed our annual goodwill
impairment assessment. We completed our step one analysis using a
combination of valuation approaches including a market capitalization
approach, multiples approach and discounted cash flow. The market
capitalization approach used our publicly traded stock price to determine
fair value. The multiples approach used comparable trading multiples of
our major competitors to arrive at a fair value and the discounted cash
flow method used revenue and expense projections and risk-adjusted
discount rates. The process of determining fair value was subjective and
required management to exercise a significant amount of judgment in
determining future growth rates, discount rates and tax rates, among
other factors. At that time, the economic environment had negatively
impacted our ability to forecast future demand and in turn resulted in
our use of higher discount rates, reflecting the risk and uncertainty in
the markets. The results of our step one analysis indicated potential
impairment in our Asia reporting unit, which was corroborated by a
combination of factors including a significant and sustained decline in
our market capitalization, which was significantly below our book value,
and the then deteriorating macro environment, which resulted in a decline
in our expected future demand. We performed the second step of the
goodwill impairment assessment to quantify the amount of impairment. This
involved calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, determined in a
manner similar to a purchase price allocation, and comparing the residual
amount to the carrying amount of goodwill. Based on our analysis
incorporating the declining market capitalization in 2008, as well as the
significant end market deterioration and economic uncertainties impacting
expected future demand at that time, we concluded that the entire
goodwill balance as of December 31, 2008 of $850.5 was impaired. The
goodwill impairment charge was non-cash in nature and did not affect our
liquidity, cash flows from operating activities, or our compliance with
debt covenants. The goodwill impairment charge was not deductible for
income tax purposes and, therefore, we did not record a corresponding tax
benefit in 2008.
(c) Long-lived asset impairment:
We conduct our annual impairment assessment of long-lived assets in the
fourth quarter of each year. We recorded a non-cash charge of $12.3 in
2009 against property, plant and equipment primarily in Japan and a non-
cash charge of $8.8 in 2008 against property, plant and equipment in the
Americas and Europe.
(d) Recovery of damages:
In the fourth quarter of 2009, we received a recovery of damages related
to certain purchases we made in prior periods as a result of the
settlement of a class action lawsuit. We recorded a recovery, net of
estimated reserves, of $23.7 through other charges in the fourth quarter.
Future adjustments to our estimated reserves, if any, will be recorded
through other charges.
(e) Release of cumulative translation adjustment:
We recorded a net loss of $1.8 for the release of the cumulative currency
translation adjustment related to a liquidated foreign subsidiary.
(f) Other:
We recognized recoveries on the sale of certain assets that were
previously written down through other charges.
5. Segment information:
The accounting standards establish the criteria for the disclosure of
certain information in the interim and annual financial statements
regarding operating segments, products and services and major customers.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which
separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated
by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. Our operating segment is
comprised of our electronics manufacturing services business. Our chief
operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.
(i) The following table indicates revenue by end market as a percentage
of total revenue. Our revenue fluctuates from period to period
depending on numerous factors, including but not limited to:
seasonality of business; the level of business from new, existing and
disengaging customers; the level of program wins or losses; the
phasing in or out of programs; and changes in customer demand.

one customer, Research In Motion (RIM), represented more than 10% of
total revenue (2008 - no customer represented more than 10% of total
revenue). RIM accounted for 21% of total revenue in the fourth
quarter of 2009 and 17% of total revenue for the full year 2009.

(i) Our current portfolio consists of certificates of deposit and
certain money market funds that are secured exclusively by U.S.
government securities. The majority of our cash and cash
equivalents are held with financial institutions each of which
had at December 31, 2009 a Standard and Poor's rating of A-1 or
above.
7. Derivative financial instruments:
(i) We enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency
risks primarily relating to cash flows. At December 31, 2009, we had
forward exchange contracts covering various currencies in an
aggregate notional amount of $489.2. All derivative financial
instruments are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance
sheet. The fair value of our foreign currency contracts at December
31, 2009 was a net unrealized gain of $8.0 (December 31, 2008 - net
unrealized loss of $38.9). This is comprised of $9.4 of derivative
assets recorded in prepaid and other assets and other long-term
assets, and $1.4 of derivative liabilities recorded in accrued
liabilities. The unrealized gains and losses are a result of
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the time the currency
forward contracts were entered into and the valuation date at period
end. The change in the net unrealized gains and losses of our foreign
currency contracts during 2009 is due primarily to the favourable
movement in the exchange rates for the currencies that we hedge and
the settlement of contracts with significant losses.
At December 31, 2009, we had forward exchange contracts to trade U.S.
dollars in exchange for the following currencies:

(ii) In connection with the issuance of our 2011 Notes in June 2004, we
entered into agreements to swap the fixed rate of interest for a
variable interest rate. The notional amount of the agreements was
$500.0. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at
December 31, 2008 was an unrealized gain of $17.3, which we recorded
in other long-term assets. In connection with the debt repurchase
(see notes 3(c) and (d)), we terminated our swap agreements. We
received $14.7 in February 2009 representing the fair value of the
swap agreements, excluding accrued interest, prior to termination.
Notes 3(d) and (f) summarize the impact of our mark-to-market
adjustments and our fair value hedge accounting.
Fair value hedge ineffectiveness arose when the change in the fair
values of our swap agreements, our hedged debt obligation and its
embedded derivatives, and the amortization of the related basis
adjustments did not offset each other during a reporting period. The
fair value hedge ineffectiveness loss of $1.4 for our 2011 Notes was
recorded in interest expense on long-term debt for 2009 (loss of $0.9
for 2008). This fair value hedge ineffectiveness was driven primarily
by the difference in the credit risk used to value our hedged debt
obligation as compared to the credit risk used to value our interest
rate swaps. As a result of discontinuing the fair value hedge on our
2011 Notes in February 2009, no further fair value hedge
ineffectiveness has occurred.

(a) We have the option to settle restricted share unit awards in the form
of shares that we purchase in the open market or cash. Historically,
we have settled these awards with shares purchased in the open
market. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we decided to settle the
share unit awards vesting in the first quarter of 2010 with cash. As
a result, we reclassified $13.3, which we had accumulated in
contributed surplus, to accrued liabilities. We adjusted this
liability to the market value of our underlying subordinate voting
shares at December 31, 2009, with a corresponding charge to
compensation expense. A mark-to-market adjustment of $10.9 (cost of
sales - $5.2; SG&A - $5.7) was recorded in the fourth quarter of
2009. Management intends to settle the remaining share unit awards in
the form of shares purchased in the open market and will continue to
account for these share units as equity awards.

We expect that the majority of the gains on cash flow hedges reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2009 will be
reclassified to operations during the next 12 months, primarily through
cost of sales as the underlying expenses that are being hedged are
included in cost of sales.
9. Guarantees and contingencies:
We have contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters
of guarantee and surety bonds which we have provided to various third
parties. These guarantees cover various payments, including customs and
excise taxes, utility commitments and certain bank guarantees. At
December 31, 2009, these contingent liabilities amounted to $50.2
(December 31, 2008 - $55.4).
In addition to the above guarantees, we have also provided routine
indemnifications, the terms of which range in duration and often are not
explicitly defined. These may include indemnifications against adverse
impacts due to changes in tax laws and patent infringements by third
parties. We have also provided indemnifications in connection with the
sale of certain businesses and real property. The maximum potential
liability from these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. In
some cases, we have recourse against other parties to mitigate our risk
of loss from these indemnifications. Historically, we have not made
significant payments relating to these types of indemnifications.
Litigation:
In the normal course of our operations, we are subject to litigation and
claims from time to time. We may also be subject to lawsuits,
investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product,
customer disputes and other matters. Management believes that adequate
provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required. Although it
is not always possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any,
management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies
will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
financial position or liquidity.
In 2007, securities class action lawsuits were commenced against us and
our former Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers in the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York by certain
individuals, on behalf of themselves and other unnamed purchasers of our
stock, claiming that they were purchasers of our stock during the period
January 27, 2005 through January 30, 2007. The plaintiffs allege
violations of United States federal securities laws and seek unspecified
damages. They allege that during the purported class period we made
statements concerning our actual and anticipated future financial results
that failed to disclose certain purportedly material adverse information
with respect to demand and inventory in our Mexican operations and our
information technology and communications divisions. In an amended
complaint, the plaintiffs have added one of our directors and Onex
Corporation as defendants. All defendants have filed motions to dismiss
the amended complaint. These motions are pending. A parallel class
proceeding has also been issued against us and our former Chief Executive
and Chief Financial Officers in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice,
but neither leave nor certification of the action has been granted by
that court. We believe that the allegations in these claims are without
merit and we intend to defend against them vigorously. However, there can
be no assurance that the outcome of the litigation will be favorable to
us or that it will not have a material adverse impact on our financial
position or liquidity. In addition, we may incur substantial litigation
expenses in defending these claims. We have liability insurance coverage
that may cover some of our litigation expenses, potential judgments or
settlement costs.
Income taxes:
We are subject to tax audits by local tax authorities of historical
information which could result in additional tax expense in future
periods relating to prior results. In addition, tax authorities could
challenge the validity of our inter-company transactions, including
financing and transfer pricing policies which generally involve
subjective areas of taxation and a significant degree of judgment. If any
of these tax authorities are successful with their challenges, our income
tax expense may be adversely affected and we could also be subject to
interest and penalty charges.
In connection with ongoing tax audits in Canada, tax authorities have
taken the position that income reported by one of our Canadian
subsidiaries in 2001 through 2003 should have been materially higher as a
result of certain inter-company transactions. The successful pursuit of
that assertion could result in that subsidiary owing significant amounts
of tax, interest and possibly penalties. We believe we have substantial
defenses to the asserted position and have adequately accrued for any
probable potential adverse tax impact. However, there can be no assurance
as to the final resolution of this claim and any resulting proceedings
and if this claim and any ensuing proceedings are determined adversely to
us, the amounts we may be required to pay could be material.
In connection with a tax audit in Brazil, in the fourth quarter of 2009,
tax authorities have taken the position that income reported by our
Brazilian subsidiary in 2004 should have been materially higher as a
result of certain inter-company transactions. We believe we have
substantial defenses to the asserted position. However, there can be no
assurance as to the final resolution of this matter and, if it is
determined adversely to us, the amounts we may be required to pay for
taxes, interest and penalties could be material.
We have and will continue to recognize the future benefit of certain
Brazilian tax losses on the basis that these tax losses can and will be
fully utilized in the fiscal period ending on the date of dissolution of
our Brazilian subsidiary. We regularly review Brazilian laws and assess
the likelihood of the realization of the future benefit of the tax
losses. A change to the benefit realizable on these Brazilian losses
could result in a substantial increase to our net future tax liabilities.
10. Financial instruments - financial risks:
We have exposures to the following financial risks arising from financial
instruments: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is
the risk that results in changes to market prices, such as foreign
exchange rates and interest rates, that could affect our operations or
the value of our financial instruments.
(a) Currency risk: Due to the nature of our international operations, we
are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on our cash receipts, cash
payments and balance sheet exposures denominated in various foreign
currencies. We manage our currency risk through our hedging program using
forecasts of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and our
currency exposures. Our major currency exposures, as of December 31,
2009, are summarized in U.S. dollar equivalents in the following table.
For purposes of this table, we have excluded items such as pension, post-
employment benefits and income taxes, in accordance with the financial
instruments standards. The local currency amounts have been converted to
U.S. dollar equivalents using the spot rates as of December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2009, a one-percentage point strengthening or weakening
of the following currencies against the U.S. dollar for our financial
instruments denominated in non-functional currencies has the following
impact:

(b) Interest rate risk: We are exposed to interest rate risks as we have
significant cash balances invested at floating rates. Borrowings under
our revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin. If we
borrow under this facility, we will be exposed to interest rate risks due
to fluctuations in the LIBOR rate.
(c) Credit risk: Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may
default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to
us. To mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults under our
foreign currency forward contracts, these counterparty financial
institutions each had a Standard and Poor's rating of A or above at
December 31, 2009. In November 2009, we renewed our accounts receivable
sales program on similar terms and conditions for an additional year.
This financial institution had a Standard and Poor's rating of A+ at
December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, no accounts receivable were sold
under this program. See notes 14(c) and 18 to the 2008 annual
consolidated financial statements.
We also provide credit to our customers in the normal course of business.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial
statements, net of any allowances or reserves for losses, represents our
estimate of maximum exposure to this credit risk. As of December 31,
2009, less than 1% of our gross accounts receivable are over 90 days past
due. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$7.5 at December 31, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - $13.7).
(d) Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not have cash
available to satisfy our financial obligations as they come due. The
majority of our financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities are due within 90 days. The maturity analysis of our
derivative financial liabilities is included in note 7(i). The redemption
of our 2011 Notes in the fourth quarter of 2009 was funded from existing
cash resources. In January 2010, we announced our intention to redeem the
2013 Notes. See note 12. Management believes that cash flow from
operations, together with cash on hand, cash from the sale of accounts
receivable, and borrowings available under our credit facility and bank
overdraft facilities will be sufficient to support our financial
obligations. See note 14(d) to the 2008 annual consolidated financial
statements.
11. Comparative information:
We have reclassified certain prior period information to conform to the
current period's presentation.
12. Subsequent events:
In January 2010, we completed the acquisition of Invec Solutions Ltd.
which is based in Scotland. Invec provides warranty management, repair
and parts management services to companies in the information technology
and consumer electronics markets. The cash purchase price was $6.4.
In January 2010, we announced our intention to redeem the outstanding
2013 Notes with a principal amount of $223.1. In accordance with the
terms of the 2013 Notes, we will redeem the Notes at a price of 103.813%
of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date. Based on the carrying value at December 31, 2009 of
$222.8, we expect to incur a loss of approximately $9 on redemption,
which we will record through other charges. We expect to complete the
redemption during the first quarter of 2010 using existing cash
resources. As a result, we have reclassified the 2013 Notes from
long-term debt to current debt on our consolidated balance sheet.
