Overview
What Celestica does:
We provide a range of electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the computing, communications, consumer, industrial, and aerospace and defense end markets. We operate a global manufacturing and supply chain network.
Overview of business environment:
The EMS industry is comprised of companies that provide a broad range of electronics manufacturing services to OEMs. During the past decade, OEMs have shifted more of their manufacturing and supply chain activities to EMS providers in order to drive greater manufacturing flexibility and improve their financial returns. As a result, the EMS industry experienced rapid change and growth during this past decade. Today, the leading EMS companies have global manufacturing networks with worldwide supply chain management that provide end-to-end services for the entire product lifecycle, including design and engineering, manufacturing and systems integration, fulfillment and after-market services.
The majority of our revenue (73% for the first nine months of 2007; 73% for 2006) is derived from customers in the following end markets: enterprise communications, telecommunications, servers and storage. The EMS industry was negatively impacted by significant demand weakness, particularly in these end markets during the period from 2001 to 2003. Although the industry has seen overall growth in these markets during the past several years, the OEMs serving these markets have seen technology shifts and varying growth rates for the products sold into these markets. This shift has negatively impacted a large portion of our revenue as many of the products we manufacture have continued to experience weaker demand versus other products sold by our customers that have experienced improved demand but are manufactured by other EMS providers.
Our concentration with customers in these end markets, combined with our significant manufacturing capacity in higher-cost geographies, has had a significant adverse impact on our revenue, margins and utilization rates during the past several years. The end market weakness also created excess capacity in the EMS industry, generally resulting in pricing pressures and major
2
restructuring initiatives in higher-cost geographies for most North American based EMS companies.
In order to diversify our revenue base, we have been broadening our exposure to new end markets. Revenue from the consumer end market was 20% for the first nine months of 2007 compared to 18% for 2006. Revenue from the industrial, aerospace and defense end markets ranged from 6% to 11% during the past several years. We will continue to pursue opportunities in these markets as they have been among the most stable and growing technology markets during the past several years.
End market visibility is generally limited in our industry, making growth trends difficult to predict. We anticipate that our revenue in the telecommunications market (14% of revenue for the first nine months of 2007; 18% of revenue for 2006) and enterprise communications market (29% of revenue for the first nine months of 2007; 28% of revenue for 2006) will be volatile for the remainder of 2007 and into 2008 as a result of difficult end markets for some of our customers as well as program transitions and customer disengagements.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2007 was $5.9 billion. This compares to revenue of $6.5 billion for the first nine months of 2006 and $8.8 billion for the full year 2006. In 2006, we experienced operational and execution issues, particularly in Mexico, which had a negative impact on our relationship with certain customers. Some customers reacted by disengaging business from us and we chose to disengage from certain other customers. All of these factors will continue to impact revenue for 2007 and into 2008.
In the EMS industry, OEMs award new programs or shift programs to other EMS providers for a variety of reasons including changes in demand for the OEMs products, pricing benefits offered by other providers, execution issues, preference for consolidation or a change in their supplier base, as well as a decision to outsource additional business. Our operating results for each quarter have reflected the impact of programs being transferred to and from our competitors. We expect that over time, customer or program wins from competitors should offset customer or program losses. Because customer or program transfers between EMS competitors is part of the competitive dynamic in our industry, there can be significant quarterly variation in terms of the timing of when new programs reach full production versus the timing of when existing programs are fully transferred to a competitor.
3
Key strategic initiatives:
Operating margins in 2006 were significantly impacted by the operational challenges in our facilities in Mexico and Europe. We established five priorities for 2007 to improve our financial results as follows:
1. restore customer confidence;
2. improve operating and financial performance in Mexico;
3. restore profitability in Europe by generating more business with European OEMs;
4. improve asset utilization, focusing primarily on inventory turnover; and
5. drive efficiency through simplicity and the elimination of waste by reducing overhead structures, streamlining processes and fostering a lean culture.
During 2007, we have been aggressively executing on our recovery plans and have seen continuous improvements.
Recent acquisitions and divestitures:
In March 2006, we acquired certain assets located in the Philippines from Powerwave Technologies, Inc. and signed a multi-year supply agreement. This acquisition strengthened our relationship with an existing customer in the telecommunications market. Powerwave announced that Celestica would become its global preferred outsourcing partner. In June 2006, we sold our plastics injection molding business (which we acquired as part of an EMS acquisition). Our plastics business, which operated primarily in Asia, represented less than 1% of our total revenue. In September 2006, we sold one of our European facilities to a third party as part of our restructuring program and the purchaser agreed to retain all employees.
Summary of 3Q 2007
Financing and capital structure:
We continued to maintain a strong balance sheet throughout the third quarter of 2007 and finished the quarter with a cash balance of $953.1 million and an undrawn credit facility. Cash had increased by more than $200 million from the second quarter due to higher earnings and improved working capital performance.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2007 of $2.1 billion decreased 13% from $2.4 billion for the same period in 2006, primarily due to lower volume from customers in the communications market. Revenue was also negatively impacted by program losses and by customer disengagements primarily in the industrial market. Approximately one-quarter of our revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was derived from customers in our consumer market, as this market is seasonally stronger in the second half of the year. Revenue from our server segment increased compared to the prior year primarily due to new program wins.
We have been focused on simplifying the operations and improving the financial results in Mexico. We have transferred certain customers or programs from Mexico to our Asian manufacturing facilities and disengaged from certain other customers that were adding to the complexity of our Mexican operations. We have completed all but one of the planned program transfers, which has been delayed at the request of the customer. In addition, several customers chose to disengage business from us. As a result of the transfers out of Mexico, we have reduced our inventory parts complexity, consolidated the number of warehouses and reduced our headcount. We have integrated our ERP platforms and implemented new software tools to drive best practices at this site for supply chain and materials management. Operationally, we have made progress in quality, delivery and productivity in Mexico. Customer satisfaction levels have continued to improve each quarter of 2007. Mexicos operating losses, calculated as gross profit less SG&A, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $10 million and $48 million, respectively, compared to operating losses of $7 million and $26 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. Operating losses have been reduced sequentially by $11 million from the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to the progress in consolidating our warehouses and implementing process improvements. The second quarter of 2007 was burdened with higher than expected costs of disengaging with certain customers, most of which have now been settled and the transfers completed. Operating losses have worsened compared to the prior year primarily from the impact of lower volumes, offset partially by improved efficiencies due to changes in Mexicos infrastructure and processes. Though we expect Mexico to continue to incur operating losses for the next several quarters, Mexico remains a strategic part of our operations.
We have a low-cost manufacturing network in Eastern Europe, which is comprised of facilities in the Czech Republic and Romania. We are focused on attracting new European OEMs and have won some new business expected to launch within the next 12 months. Our facilities continue to be
6
underutilized and generated operating losses of $10 million and $32 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to operating losses of $6 million and $18 million for the same periods in 2006, respectively. Operating losses for Europe have worsened compared to the prior year primarily due to the impact of lower volumes. Europe remains a strategic market for us and we expect improvements in financial performance as volumes improve.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2007 decreased 10% from the prior year primarily due to the impact of lower volumes, continued losses in Mexico and continued underutilization of facilities in Europe, which more than offset the benefits from our restructuring actions. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 5.8% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 5.6% for the same period in 2006. During the third quarter of 2006, we recorded an inventory charge at one of our facilities which negatively impacted our gross margin by 0.3% for that quarter.
SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2007 as a percentage of revenue were 3.6% compared to 3.0% of revenue for the same period in 2006. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects the lower revenue in the third quarter of 2007. On an absolute basis, SG&A expenses increased 4% year-over-year reflecting higher costs due to the weakened U.S. dollar, offset partially by the benefits from our restructuring actions.
We recorded restructuring charges of $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2007. We now expect to complete the remainder of our announced restructuring actions by the end of the first half of 2008. We anticipate that we will incur restructuring charges of approximately $25 million to complete these actions.
During the third quarter of 2007, we resolved in our favour the remaining deficiencies relating to tax audits in the United States. We recorded a current income tax recovery for the quarter.

Days in accounts receivable (A/R) is calculated as the average A/R for the quarter divided by the average daily revenue. Days in inventory is calculated as the average inventory for the quarter

divided by the average daily cost of sales. Days in accounts payable (A/P) is calculated as the average A/P (including accruals) for the quarter divided by average daily cost of sales. Cash cycle days is calculated as the sum of days in A/R and inventory, less the days in A/P.
Average cash cycle days for the third quarter of 2007 improved sequentially due to lower inventory levels. We continue to focus on reducing our inventory and improved inventory turns to 8.3 times in the third quarter of 2007, up from 7.1 times a year ago.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP with a reconciliation to United States GAAP, as disclosed in note 20 to the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements.
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. Significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in note 2 to the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis, based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. The following critical accounting policies are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue recognition:
We derive most of our revenue from the sale of electronic equipment that we have built to customer specifications. We recognize revenue from product sales when all of the following criteria have been met: shipment has occurred; title has passed; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; performance has occurred; receivables are reasonably assured of collection; customer specified test criteria have been met; and the earnings process is complete. We have contractual arrangements with the majority of our customers that require the customer to purchase unused inventory that we have purchased to fulfill that customers forecasted manufacturing demand. We account for raw material returns as reductions in inventory and do not recognize revenue on these transactions.
We provide warehousing services in connection with manufacturing services to certain customers. We assess these contracts to determine whether the manufacturing and warehousing services can be accounted for as separate units of accounting. If the services do not constitute separate units of accounting, or the manufacturing services do not meet all of the revenue recognition requirements, we defer recognizing revenue until the products have been shipped to the customer.
8
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
We record an allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable that are considered to be impaired. The allowance is based on our knowledge of the financial condition of our customers, the aging of the receivables, the current business environment, customer and industry concentrations, and historical experience. If any of our customers have insufficient liquidity, we may encounter significant delays or defaults in payments owed to us by our customers. This may result in our restructuring the debt or extending payment terms which may have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. A change to these factors could impact the estimated allowance and the provision for bad debts recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Inventory valuation:
We value our inventory on a first-in, first-out basis at the lower of cost and replacement cost for raw materials, and at the lower of cost and net realizable value for work in progress and finished goods. We regularly adjust our inventory valuation based on shrinkage and managements estimates of net realizable value, taking into consideration factors such as inventory aging, future demand for the inventory, and the nature of the contractual agreements with customers and suppliers, including the ability to return inventory to them. A change to these assumptions could impact the valuation of inventory and have a resulting impact on gross margins.
Warranty costs:
We have recorded a liability for warranty costs. As part of the normal sale of a product or service, we provide our customers with product or service warranties that extend for periods generally ranging from one to three years from the date of sale. The liability for the expected cost of warranty-related claims is established when products are sold and services are rendered. In estimating the warranty liability, historical material replacement costs and the associated labor to correct the defect are considered. Revisions to these estimates are made when actual experience differs materially from historical experience. Known product or service defects are specifically accrued as we become aware of such defects. Changes to the estimates could impact the liability and have a resulting impact on gross margins.
Income taxes:
We have recorded an income tax expense or recovery based on the income earned or loss incurred in each tax jurisdiction and the tax rate applicable to that income or loss. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. The final tax outcome of these matters may be different than the estimates originally made by management in
9
determining our income tax provisions. A change to these estimates could impact the income tax provision.
We record a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets when management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Management considers factors such as the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, the character of the income tax asset, tax planning strategies, changes in tax laws and other factors. A change to these factors could impact the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense.
Goodwill:
We perform our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year (to correspond with our planning cycle), and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Impairment is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting units carrying amount to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a combination of a market approach and discounted cash flows. The process of determining fair values is subjective and requires management to exercise judgment in making assumptions about future results, including revenue and cash flow projections at the reporting unit level, and discount rates. We recorded an impairment loss in 2002 and in 2004. Future goodwill impairment tests may result in further impairment charges.
Long-lived assets:
We perform our annual impairment tests on long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of each year (to correspond with our planning cycle), and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. We estimate the useful lives of capital and intangible assets based on the nature of the asset, historical experience and the terms of any related supply contracts. The valuation of long-lived assets is based on the amount of future net cash flows that these assets are estimated to generate. Revenue and expense projections are based on managements estimates, including estimates of current and future industry conditions. A significant change to these assumptions could impact the estimated useful lives or valuation of long-lived assets resulting in a change to depreciation or amortization expense and impairment charges. We have recorded long-lived asset impairment losses in every year since 2001. Future impairment tests may result in further impairment charges.
Restructuring charges:
We have recorded restructuring charges relating to workforce reductions, facility consolidations and costs associated with exiting businesses. The restructuring charges include employee severance and benefit costs, costs related to leased facilities that have been abandoned or
10
subleased, owned facilities which are no longer used and are available-for-sale, costs of leased equipment that have been abandoned, impairment of owned equipment available-for-sale, and impairment of related intangible assets. The recognition of these charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amounts associated with these plans. For owned facilities and equipment, the impairment loss recognized is based on the fair value less costs to sell, with fair value estimated based on existing market prices for similar assets. For leased facilities that have been abandoned or subleased, the liability for lease obligations is calculated on a discounted basis based on future lease payments subsequent to abandonment less estimated sublease income. To estimate future sublease income, we worked with independent brokers to determine the estimated tenant rents we could expect to realize. The estimated liability may change subsequent to its initial recognition, requiring adjustments to the liability recorded. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the appropriateness of the remaining accrued balances.
Pension and non-pension post-employment benefits:
We have pension and non-pension post-employment benefit costs and liabilities, which are determined from actuarial valuations. Actuarial valuations require management to make certain judgments and estimates relating to expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, compensation levels at the time of retirement, retirement ages, and expected healthcare costs. We evaluate these assumptions on a regular basis, taking into consideration current market conditions and historical data. A change in these factors could impact future pension expense.
A. Operating Results
We are required to disclose certain information in our financial statements regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas 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. In 2006, we had three reportable operating segments: Asia, Americas and Europe. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, we realigned our organizational structure to more effectively manage our operations. We evaluate financial information for purposes of making decisions and assessing financial performance based on the types of services we offer. Our operating segments include electronics manufacturing and global services, which we combined for reporting purposes because our global services segment does not meet the qualitative thresholds for separate segment disclosure.
Our annual and quarterly operating results vary from period to period as a result of the level and timing of customer orders, fluctuations in materials and other costs, and the relative mix of value-add products and services. The level and timing of customers orders will vary due to their attempts to balance their inventory, changes in their supply chain strategies or suppliers, variation in
11
demand for their products and general economic conditions. Our annual and quarterly operating results are also affected by the mix and seasonality of business in each of the end markets, price competition, mix of manufacturing value-add, the degree of automation used in the assembly process, capacity utilization, manufacturing effectiveness and efficiency, shortages of components or labor, the costs of ramping up programs, customer product delivery requirements, the costs and inefficiencies of transferring programs between facilities, the loss of programs and customer disengagements, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the performance of third-party providers for certain IT systems and production support, the ability to manage labor, inventory and capital assets effectively, the timing of expenditures in anticipation of forecasted sales levels, and the timing of acquisitions and related integration costs, and other factors.

Revenue:
Revenue for the third quarter of 2007 of $2.1 billion decreased 13% from $2.4 billion for the same period in 2006. Revenue decreased 11% to $5.9 billion in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. For both periods, revenue decreased primarily due to lower volume from customers in the communications market. Revenue was also negatively impacted by program losses and by customer disengagements primarily in the industrial market. For both periods, revenue from our server segment increased from the prior year primarily due to new program wins.

Historically, our primary end markets were the computing (comprised of servers and storage) and communications markets. To reduce our reliance on these end markets, we have been targeting customers in the consumer and industrial, aerospace and defense markets. Revenue from these markets represented 30% of revenue in the third quarter of 2007. Although these markets were flat year-over-year, we have won new business in the consumer market, which more than offsets the declines in the industrial, aerospace and defense market, resulting from our decision to disengage with certain non-strategic industrial customers. Revenue in the consumer market for the third quarter of 2007 increased sequentially, as this market is seasonally stronger in the second half of the year.
Our revenue and operating results will vary from period to period depending on the level of business and seasonality in each of our end markets, as well as the mix and complexity of the products manufactured, among other factors.
Although we have diversified into new markets, we are still dependent on a limited number of customers in the computing and communications markets for a substantial portion of our revenue. The weakness that we experienced, particularly in the telecommunications market, negatively impacted our first nine months of 2007. We expect our telecommunications market to remain weak for the fourth quarter of 2007 and into 2008.
We have one customer, Sun Microsystems, which represented more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007. No customers represented more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Whether any of our customers account for more than 10% of revenue in any period depends on various factors affecting our business with that customer and other customers, including seasonality of business, new programs wins, program consolidations or losses, the phasing in or out of programs, changes in end-market demand, price competition and changes in our customers supplier base or supply chain strategies.

We are dependent upon continued revenue from our top customers. There can be no assurance that revenue from these or any other customers will not decrease in absolute terms or as a percentage of total revenue, either individually or as a group. Any material decrease in revenue from these or other customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We believe our growth depends on increasing sales to existing customers for their current and future product generations, expanding and adding on related manufacturing and support services, successfully attracting new customers, and expanding our market penetration in more stable and growing markets, such as consumer and industrial, aerospace and defense. Customers may cancel contracts and volume levels can be changed or delayed. The timely replacement of delayed, cancelled or reduced orders with new business cannot be assured. In addition, we have no assurance that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

The decrease in gross profit in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 reflects the impact of lower volumes, continued losses in Mexico and continued underutilization of facilities in Europe, which more than offset the benefits from our restructuring actions. During the third quarter of 2006, we recorded an inventory charge at one of our facilities which negatively impacted gross margin by 0.3% for that quarter. Gross margin for
14
the first nine months of 2007 was also negatively impacted by the higher than expected costs of disengaging with certain customers from our Mexican facility.
The nature of our business causes gross margin to fluctuate based on product volume and mix, production efficiencies, utilization of manufacturing capacity, manufacturing costs, start-up and ramp-up activities, new product introductions, cost structures at individual sites, and other factors, including pricing due to the overall highly competitive nature of the EMS industry. In addition, the availability of components, which is subject to lead time and other constraints, could affect our revenue and margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses:
SG&A expenses increased 4% to $74.1 million (3.6% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $71.0 million (3.0% of revenue) in the same period of 2006. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2007 decreased 1% to $219.5 million (3.7% of revenue) compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects the lower revenue levels for 2007. On an absolute basis, SG&A expenses for the quarter increased year-to-year reflecting higher costs due to the weakened U.S. dollar, offset partially by restructuring benefits. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2007 decreased from the prior year reflecting lower variable compensation expenses and benefits from restructuring actions, offset partially by higher costs due to the weakened U.S. dollar.

To date, we have recorded charges in connection with our restructuring plans in response to the challenging economic climate and our strategy to move production from higher-cost to lower-cost geographies. These actions, which included reducing our workforce and consolidating and repositioning the number and location of production facilities, were largely intended to align our capacity and infrastructure to anticipated customer requirements for more capacity in lower-cost regions, as well as to rationalize our manufacturing network to lower demand levels.
15
These restructuring plans were focused primarily in the Americas and Europe, as those regions had high cost structures and were most impacted by the downturn in business volumes. Approximately 31,000 employees have been released from the business in connection with these restructuring activities. Approximately 70% of the employee terminations were in the Americas, 25% in Europe and 5% in Asia. As a result of all our restructuring actions to date, we have closed or downsized over 50 facilities, primarily in the Americas and Europe. All cash outlays have been, and currently foreseeable outlays are expected to be, funded from cash on hand.
We have completed the major components of the 2001 to 2004 restructuring plans, except for certain long-term lease and other contractual obligations which we expect to pay out over the remaining lease terms through 2015.
In January 2005, we announced plans to further improve capacity utilization and accelerate margin improvements through additional restructuring. These restructuring actions have included facility closures and a reduction in workforce, primarily targeting our higher-cost geographies where end-market demand had not recovered to the levels required to achieve sustainable profitability. We expected to complete these restructuring actions by the end of 2006 and to incur charges up to approximately $275 million. In light of our operating results for 2006 and in the course of preparing our 2007 plan in the fourth quarter of 2006, we identified additional restructuring actions necessary to improve our profitability. These restructuring actions include additional downsizing of workforces to reflect the volume reductions at certain facilities and reducing our overhead costs. We recorded restructuring charges of $160.1 million in 2005 and $178.1 million in 2006. During the first nine months of 2007, we recorded restructuring charges of $13.2 million. We expect to incur restructuring charges of approximately $25 million to complete these actions, which will be recorded during the fourth quarter of 2007 and in the first half of 2008.
We will continue to evaluate our operations and may propose future restructuring actions as a result of changes in the marketplace and/or our exit from less profitable operations or services no longer demanded by our customers.
Interest expense on long-term debt and other interest income/expense:
Interest expense on long-term debt in the third quarter of 2007 was $14.6 million compared to $17.2 million in the same period in 2006. Interest expense on long-term debt for the first nine months of 2007 was $49.8 million compared to $49.7 million in the same period of 2006. Our interest expense primarily includes the interest costs on the 2011 and 2013 Notes. The average interest rate on the 2011 Notes, after reflecting the variable interest swap, was 8.4% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 (8.5% and 8.1% for the same periods in 2006, respectively). The interest rate on the 2013 Notes was fixed at 7.625%.
16
As a result of adopting the new accounting standards for financial instruments in 2007, we are required to mark-to-market our debt instruments, including embedded derivatives, each quarter. The change in the fair value each quarter is recorded in interest expense on long-term debt. For the third quarter of 2007, we reduced interest expense by $2.1 million as a result of the mark-to-market net gain on the embedded derivatives in our debt instruments. For the first nine months of 2007, the mark-to-market reduction to interest expense was $0.7 million. The mark-to-market adjustment fluctuates each quarter as it is dependent on market conditions.
Interest income, net of interest expense, in the third quarter of 2007 was $4.6 million compared to net interest expense of $0.1 million in the same period in 2006. Interest income, net of interest expense, for the first nine months of 2007 was $8.1 million compared to $3.3 million in the same period of 2006. The increase in interest income primarily reflects the higher interest earned on higher cash balances throughout the third quarter of 2007.
Income taxes:
Income tax recovery in the third quarter of 2007 was $21.7 million on earnings before tax of $29.8 million compared to an income tax recovery of $0.5 million in the same period in 2006 on a loss before tax of $42.6 million. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2007 was $6.5 million on earnings before tax of $4.5 million compared to an income tax expense of $13.4 million in the same period in 2006 on a loss before tax of $76.4 million. The effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 was impacted by several factors. Current income taxes is comprised primarily of the tax expense in jurisdictions with current taxes payable, offset by the current tax recovery resulting from the United States tax audit resolution. Deferred income taxes is comprised primarily of the deferred tax expense on unrealized foreign exchange gains in Canada, offset partially by a deferred tax recovery related to a tax benefit of a write-down of restructured European operations.
We conduct business operations in a number of countries, including countries where tax incentives have been extended to encourage foreign investment or where income tax rates are low. Our effective tax rate is also impacted by the mix and volume of business in lower tax jurisdictions within Europe and Asia, tax holidays and tax incentives that have been negotiated with the respective tax authorities (which expire between 2009 and 2014), restructuring charges, operating losses, certain tax exposures, the time period in which losses may be used under tax laws and the valuation allowances recorded on deferred income tax assets. The tax holidays are subject to conditions with which we expect to continue to comply.
In certain jurisdictions, we currently have significant net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences, which will reduce taxable income in these jurisdictions in future periods. We have determined that a valuation allowance of $564.8 million is required in respect of our deferred income tax assets as at September 30, 2007 (December 31, 2006 $565.5 million).
17
As at September 30, 2007, the net deferred income tax liability balance was $64.6 million (December 31, 2006 net deferred income tax liability of $43.0 million).
We develop our tax filing positions based upon the anticipated nature and structure of our business and the tax laws, administrative practices and judicial decisions currently in effect in the jurisdictions in which we have assets or conduct business, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. 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. Any such increase in our income tax expense and related interest and penalties could have a significant impact on our future earnings and future cash flows.
Certain of our subsidiaries provide financing, products and services to, and may from time-to-time undertake certain significant transactions with other subsidiaries in different jurisdictions. In general, inter-company transactions, in particular inter-company financing transactions, are subjected to close review by tax authorities. Moreover, several jurisdictions in which we operate have tax laws with detailed transfer pricing rules which require that all transactions with non-resident related parties be priced using arms length pricing principles, and that contemporaneous documentation must exist to support such pricing.
We are subject to tax audits by local taxing authorities. International taxation authorities could challenge the validity of our inter-company financing and transfer pricing policies which generally involve subjective areas of taxation and a significant degree of judgment. If any of these taxation authorities is successful in challenging our financing or transfer pricing policies, our income tax expense may be adversely affected and we could also be subjected to interest and penalty charges. In connection with tax audits in the United States, taxing authorities asserted that our United States subsidiaries owed significant amounts of tax, interest and penalties arising from inter-company transactions. A significant portion of these asserted deficiencies were resolved in our favour in the fourth quarter of 2006. As a result, we recorded a reduction to our current income tax liabilities in 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, we resolved the remaining deficiencies in our favour which resulted in a reduction to current income tax liabilities for the quarter. The tax audit resolution also resulted in a small reduction in the amount of our U.S. tax loss carryforwards.

Cash provided by (used in) operations:
In the third quarter of 2007, we generated $217.8 million in cash primarily from earnings after adding back non-cash charges and lower working capital requirements. Lower working capital was driven primarily by higher accounts payable levels. The increase in accounts payable reflects primarily the timing of inventory purchases during the quarter. For the third quarter of 2006, we generated cash from earnings after adding back non-cash charges and lower working capital, primarily from the timing of inventory payments and the collection of an income tax refund.
For the first nine months of 2007, we generated cash primarily from earnings after adding back non-cash charges and a reduction in inventory.
Cash used in investing activities:
Our capital expenditures in 2006 and 2007 have been primarily to expand manufacturing capabilities and capacities in lower-cost geographies such as China, Czech Republic, Mexico, Romania and Thailand.
Cash requirements:
At September 30, 2007, we had committed approximately $20 million in capital expenditures, principally for machinery and equipment and facilities in our lower-cost geographies. We anticipate capital spending for 2007 to be approximately 1% of revenue, and expect to fund this spending from cash on hand. In addition, we regularly review acquisition opportunities and, as a result, may require additional debt or equity financing to fund these transactions.
We have provided routine indemnifications whose terms 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 reasonably be estimated. In some cases, we have recourse
19
against other parties to mitigate our risk of loss from these indemnifications. Historically, we have not made significant payments relating to these indemnifications.
In 2007, securities class action litigations were commenced against us, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer, in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York by individuals who claim they were purchasers of our stock, on behalf of themselves and other 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 adverse information with respect to demand and inventory in our Mexican operations and our information technology and communications divisions. A parallel class proceeding has recently been issued against us, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, although the claim has not yet been served against us and neither leave nor certification of the action has been granted by the 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 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 the expense of defending these cases, as well as potential judgments or settlement costs.
Capital Resources
In April 2007, we renegotiated the terms of our revolving credit facility and reduced the amount available from $600.0 million to $300.0 million. We also extended the maturity from June 2007 to April 2009. Under the terms of the extension, we have pledged certain assets, including the shares of certain North American subsidiaries, as security. The extension includes improved financial covenants. At September 30, 2007, we had approximately $220 million of available debt incurrence ($280 million June 30, 2007). A sequential increase in the fair value of our long-term debt and lower rolling 4-quarter earnings resulted in lower available debt incurrence this quarter.
The facility includes a $25.0 million swing-line facility that provides for short-term borrowings up to a maximum of seven days. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin except that borrowings under the swing-line facility bear interest at a base rate plus a margin. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2007. Commitment fees for the first nine months of 2007 were $1.9 million. The facility has restrictive covenants relating to debt incurrence and sale of assets and also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2007.
20
We have additional uncommitted bank overdraft facilities available for operating requirements which total $49.5 million at September 30, 2007. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.
We believe that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand and borrowings available under our credit facility (which are undrawn), will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital, planned restructuring and capital spending, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. Historically, we have funded our operations from the proceeds of public offerings of equity and debt securities, cash generated from operations, bank debt, sales of accounts receivable and equipment lease financings. We expect to continue to enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund anticipated growth and acquisitions. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities could dilute current shareholders positions. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to equity holders, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on our operations. Such financings and other transactions may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Our short term investment objectives are to preserve principal and to maximize yields without significantly increasing risk, while at the same time not materially restricting our short term access to cash. To achieve these objectives, we maintain a portfolio consisting of a variety of securities, including government and corporate obligations, certificates of deposit and money market funds.
Both Standard and Poors and Moodys Investors Service provide ratings on our senior subordinated notes and a corporate rating on Celestica. These credit ratings reflect the agencies current opinion of the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial obligations, or a specific financial program. The agencies take many factors into consideration when providing a rating including, but not limited to, the creditworthiness of guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation and the currency in which the obligation is denominated. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. A rating does not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor.
Our current Standard and Poors corporate rating is B+ and our senior subordinated note rating is B-, with a negative outlook. The notes rating, which is fourteenth out of 20 on the rating scale, means that the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation but adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligors capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Our current Moodys Investor Service corporate rating is B1 and our senior subordinated note rating is B3, with a negative outlook. The subordinated notes rating is sixteenth out of 21 on the rating scale. Obligations rated B3 are considered to be in the lower-range of obligations that are judged to be
21
speculative and subject to high credit risk. A reduction in our credit ratings could impact our future cost of borrowing.
In November 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell certain accounts receivable to a third-party bank (which has a Standard and Poors rating of AA-), and other qualified purchasers. The program provides for the sale of up to $250.0 million in accounts receivable on a committed basis. The program also provides for the sale of certain accounts receivable in excess of the committed amount at the discretion of the purchasers. This program expires in November 2008. As of September 30, 2007, we have sold approximately $225 million (June 30, 2007 - $250 million; December 31, 2006 - $320 million) in accounts receivable to the third-party bank under this program.
Other financial instruments:
The majority of our cash balances are held in U.S. dollars. We price the majority of our products in U.S. dollars and the majority of our material costs are also denominated in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of our non-material costs (including payroll, facilities costs, and costs of locally sourced supplies and inventory) are denominated in various other currencies. As a result, we may experience transaction and translation gains or losses because of currency fluctuations. We have a foreign exchange risk management policy in place to control our hedging activities and we do not enter into speculative trades. At September 30, 2007, we had forward foreign exchange contracts covering various currencies in an aggregate notional amount of $434.9 million. Our contracts generally extend for periods of up to 14 months. The majority of contracts expire by November 2008. The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2007 was an unrealized gain of $21.1 million. Our current hedging activity is designed to reduce the variability of our foreign currency costs where we have manufacturing operations and generally involves entering into contracts to trade U.S. dollars for various currencies at future dates. We may, from time to time, enter into additional hedging transactions to minimize our exposure to foreign currency. We cannot be assured that our hedging transactions will be successful. Our largest foreign currency exposures are in the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Thai baht, Singapore dollar, Czech koruna and the Euro. With the depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus these currencies, we expect to incur higher operating costs in these markets which may negatively impact operating margins in 2008.
In connection with the 2011 Notes offering, we entered into agreements to swap the fixed rate of interest for a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a margin. The notional amount of the agreements, which mature July 2011, is $500.0 million. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 2007 was an unrealized loss of $2.3 million. The average interest rate on the 2011 Notes for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 was 8.4% (8.5% and 8.1%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006), after reflecting the interest rate swaps. We are exposed to interest rate risks due to fluctuations in the LIBOR rate. A one-percentage point increase in the LIBOR rate would increase interest expense on the 2011 Notes by $5.0 million annually.

Outstanding Share Data
As at October 18, 2007, we had 199.2 million outstanding subordinate voting shares and 29.6 million outstanding multiple voting shares.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation) as of the end of the quarter, and have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our corporate filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met. Due to inherent limitations in all such systems, no evaluations of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Comparability quarter-to-quarter:
The quarterly data reflects the following:
the second quarter of 2006 reflects the sale of our plastics business in June 2006;
all quarters of 2006 and 2007 include the results of operations of Powerwave Technologies in the Philippines which was acquired in March 2006;
the fourth quarter of 2005 and all quarters of 2006 and 2007 include the results of operations of Displaytronix which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2005;
the fourth quarter of 2005 and all quarters of 2006 and 2007 include the results of operations of CoreSim and Ramnish which were acquired in the third quarter of 2005;
24
the fourth quarters of 2005 and 2006 include the results of the annual testing of impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets; and
all quarters of 2005, 2006 and 2007 are impacted by our announced restructuring plans. The amounts vary from quarter-to-quarter.
Third quarter 2007 compared to second quarter 2007:
Sequentially, revenue for the third quarter of 2007 increased 7% from the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to higher revenue from our consumer segment as this market is seasonally stronger in the second half of the year. Revenue from our telecommunications market increased compared to the second quarter of 2007, however, we expect that the telecommunications market will remain weak for us. Revenue from our enterprise communications and industrial end markets decreased sequentially reflecting program losses and customer disengagements. The sequential change in gross margin for the third quarter of 2007 reflects the impact of higher revenue, improvements in our Mexican operating results and benefits from our restructuring actions. In addition, gross margin for the second quarter was negatively impacted by the higher than expected costs of disengaging with certain customers in Mexico. The sequential improvement in net earnings is attributed primarily to improved operating results and a net income tax recovery, related primarily to the U.S. tax audit resolution.
Recent Accounting Developments
Financial instruments:
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the new standards issued by the CICA on financial instruments, hedges and comprehensive income. Section 1530, Comprehensive income, Section 3855, Financial instruments recognition and measurement, Section 3861, Financial instruments disclosure and presentation, and Section 3865, Hedges, were effective for our first quarter of 2007. We were not required to restate prior results.
On January 1, 2007, we made the following transitional adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet to adopt the new standards:

|

|

|

|
The new standards require all financial assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and non-trading financial liabilities, which are carried at their amortized cost. Currently we do not have any financial assets designated as available-for-sale.
All derivatives, including embedded derivatives that must be separately accounted for, are measured at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. The types of hedging relationships that qualify for hedge accounting have not changed under the new standards. We will continue to designate our hedges as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. In a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, to the extent effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income/loss (OCI) until the asset or liability being hedged is recognized in operations. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in operations immediately. For hedges that are discontinued before the end of the original hedge term, the unrealized hedge gain/loss in OCI is amortized to operations over the remaining term of the original hedge. If the hedged item ceases to exist before the end of the original hedge term, the unrealized hedge gain/loss in OCI is recognized in operations immediately. In a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative are offset in operations by the changes in the fair value relating to the hedged risk of the asset, liability or cash flows being hedged.
Derivatives may be embedded in financial instruments (the host instrument). Under the new standards, embedded derivatives are treated as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host instrument, the terms of the embedded derivative are similar to those of a stand-alone derivative, and the combined contract is not held for trading or designated at fair value. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in operations. We have elected January 1, 2003 as our transition date for identifying contracts with embedded derivatives. Currently we have prepayment options that are embedded in our Senior Subordinated Notes which meet the criteria for bifurcation. The impact of the prepayment options on our consolidated financial statements is described in note 4(d) of the September 30, 2007 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
The new standards require that we present a new consolidated statement of comprehensive income/loss as part of our consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income/loss is comprised of net income/loss, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and the net unrealized foreign currency translation gain/loss arising from self-
26
sustaining foreign operations, which was previously classified as a separate component of shareholders equity. Subsequent releases from OCI to operations is dependent on when the hedged items designated under cash flow hedges are recognized in operations, or upon de-recognition of the net investment in a self-sustaining foreign operation.
In determining the fair value of our financial instruments, we used a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing on each reporting date. Broker quotes and standard market conventions and techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, are used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments, including derivatives and hedged debt obligations. All methods of fair value measurement result in a general approximation of value and such value may never actually be realized.
Accounting changes:
In January 2007, we adopted CICA Handbook Section 1506, Accounting changes, which requires that voluntary changes in accounting policy are made only if the changes result in financial statements that provide more reliable and more relevant information. It also requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
Inventories:
In June 2007, the CICA issued Section 3031, Inventories, which requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard provides guidance on the types of costs that can be capitalized and requires the reversal of previous inventory write-downs if economic circumstances have changed to support higher inventory values. The standard is effective for 2008. Commencing in the first quarter of 2008, we are required to disclose the amount of inventory recognized in cost of sales each quarter, as well as any inventory write-down or reversals each quarter. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Financial instruments and capital disclosure:
In December 2006, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments, Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments, Presentation. These standards provide additional guidance on disclosing risks related to recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed. The CICA also issued Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, which provides guidance for disclosing information about an entitys capital and how it manages its capital. These standards are effective for 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these standards on our consolidated financial statements.

TORONTO, Canada - Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global provider of innovative electronics manufacturing services (EMS), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue was $2,081 million, down 13% from $2,392 million in the third quarter of 2006. Net earnings on a GAAP basis for the third quarter were $51.5 million or $0.22 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of ($42.1) million or ($0.19) per share for the same period last year. Included in the third quarter 2007 earnings are restructuring charges of $2.7 million compared to restructuring charges of $82.4 million in the third quarter last year.
Adjusted net earnings for the quarter were $29.3 million or $0.13 per share compared to adjusted net earnings of $40.5 million or $0.18 per share for the same period last year. The term adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares and debt, integration costs related to acquisitions, option expense, option exchange costs and other charges, net of tax and significant deferred tax write-offs or recovery (detailed GAAP financial statements and supplementary information related to adjusted net earnings appear at the end of this press release). These results compare with the companys guidance for the third quarter, announced on July 26, 2007, of revenue in the range of $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion and adjusted net earnings per share in the range of $0.04 to $0.12.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, revenue was $5,860 million compared to $6,550 million for the same period in 2006. Net loss on a GAAP basis was ($2.0) million or ($0.01) per share compared to net loss of ($89.8) million or ($0.40) per share last year. Adjusted net earnings for the first nine months of 2007 were $25.1 million or $0.11 per share compared to adjusted net earnings of $87.0 million or $0.38 per share for the same period in 2006.
Our third quarter results reflect the significant progress we are making with respect to the turnaround plans we put in place at the beginning of this year, said Craig Muhlhauser, President and Chief Executive Officer, Celestica.
On a sequential basis, revenue grew 7%, operating margins almost doubled, inventory turns improved to 8.3x and we generated more than $200 million in free cash flow. We are encouraged by our progress to date and believe that significant opportunity remains throughout the business. Although we continue to manage through nearer-term volatility as we complete our turnaround plans, our entire team remains confident in our ability to drive further improvements as we strive to build a solid foundation for Celesticas future growth and profitability.
Outlook
For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2007, the company expects revenue to be in the range of $2.0 billion to $2.15 billion, and adjusted net earnings per share to range from $0.10 to $0.16.
Third Quarter Results Webcasts
Management will host its quarterly results conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time which 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 also provides supplementary non-GAAP measures as a method to evaluate the companys operating performance.
Management uses adjusted net earnings as a measure of enterprise-wide performance. As a result of acquisitions made by the company, restructuring activities, securities repurchases and the adoption of fair value accounting for stock options, management believes adjusted net earnings is a useful measure for the company as well as its investors to facilitate period-to-period operating comparisons and allow the comparison of operating results with its competitors in the U.S. and Asia. Adjusted net earnings excludes the effects of acquisition-related charges (most significantly, amortization of intangible assets and integration costs related to acquisitions), other charges (most significantly, restructuring costs and the write-down of goodwill and long-lived assets), gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or debt, option expense and option exchange costs, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments and any significant deferred tax write-offs or recovery. 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 (loss) prepared in accordance with Canadian or U.S. GAAP. The company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings (loss) to Canadian GAAP net earnings (loss) below.
Celestica is dedicated to providing innovative electronics manufacturing services that accelerate our customers success. Through our efficient global manufacturing and supply chain network, we deliver competitive advantage to companies in the computing, communications, consumer, industrial, and aerospace and defense end markets.

(unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation:
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada with a reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, disclosed in note 20 to the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements.
2. Significant accounting policies:
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 2006 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 September 30, 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the following:
Change in accounting policies:
(a) Financial instruments:
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the new standards issued by the CICA on financial instruments, hedges and comprehensive income. Section 1530, Comprehensive income, Section 3855, Financial instruments recognition and measurement, Section 3861, Financial instruments disclosure and presentation, and Section 3865, Hedges, were effective for our first quarter of 2007. We were not required to restate prior results.
On January 1, 2007, we made the following transitional adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet to adopt the new standards:

The new standards require all financial assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and non-trading financial liabilities, which are carried at their amortized cost. We do not currently have any financial assets designated as available-for-sale.
All derivatives, including embedded derivatives that must be separately accounted for, are measured at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. The types of hedging relationships that qualify for hedge accounting have not
9
CELESTICA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
changed under the new standards. We will continue to designate our hedges as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. In a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, to the extent effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income/loss (OCI) until the asset or liability being hedged is recognized in operations. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in operations immediately. For hedges that are discontinued before the end of the original hedge term, the unrealized hedge gain/loss in OCI is amortized to operations over the remaining term of the original hedge. If the hedged item ceases to exist before the end of the original hedge term, the unrealized hedge gain/loss in OCI is recognized in operations immediately. In a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative are offset in operations by the changes in the fair value relating to the hedged risk of the asset, liability or cash flows being hedged.
Derivatives may be embedded in financial instruments (the host instrument). Under the new standards, embedded derivatives are treated as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host instrument, the terms of the embedded derivative are similar to those of a stand-alone derivative, and the combined contract is not held for trading or designated at fair value. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in operations. We have elected January 1, 2003 as our transition date for identifying contracts with embedded derivatives. Currently we have prepayment options that are embedded in our Senior Subordinated Notes which meet the criteria for bifurcation. The impact of the prepayment options on our consolidated financial statements is described under the transitional adjustments below and in note 4(d).
The new standards require that we present a new consolidated statement of comprehensive income/loss as part of our consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income/loss is comprised of net income/loss, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and the net unrealized foreign currency translation gain/loss arising from self-sustaining foreign operations, which was previously classified as a separate component of shareholders equity. Subsequent releases from OCI to operations is dependent on when the hedged items designated under cash flow hedges are recognized in operations, or upon de-recognition of the net investment in a self-sustaining foreign operation.
In determining the fair value of our financial instruments, we used a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing on each reporting date. Broker quotes and standard market conventions and techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, are used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments, including derivatives and hedged debt obligations. All methods of fair value measurement result in a general approximation of value and such value may never actually be realized.
The transitional impact of recording our derivatives as at January 1, 2007 at fair value on our consolidated financial statements is as follows:
(i) Cash flow hedges:
As at January 1, 2007, we recorded derivative assets of $5.8 and derivative liabilities of $6.0 at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet in relation to our cash flow hedges, with a corresponding balance of $0.2 recorded in the opening accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, we reclassified $0.3 of net deferred foreign exchange losses to opening accumulated other comprehensive loss. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2006 was insignificant and, therefore, did not impact the opening deficit.
(ii) Fair value hedges:
In connection with the issuance of our $500.0 Senior Subordinated Notes (2011 Notes) in June 2004, we entered into agreements to swap the fixed interest rate for a variable interest rate. We have designated the swap agreements as fair value hedges. As at January 1, 2007, we recorded a derivative liability of $7.9 (net of an interest accrual of $2.0) for the swap agreements in other long-term liabilities. A corresponding fair value adjustment was not recorded against the 2011 Notes since the prior hedge relationship was not considered a qualified type under Section 3865 after bifurcation of the embedded prepayment option in accordance with
10
CELESTICA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Section 3855. We decreased the deferred income tax liability by $2.6 and recorded a loss of $5.3 to opening deficit. A new hedge relationship was redesignated on January 1, 2007 which qualified for fair value hedge accounting in accordance with Section 3865.
(iii) Embedded derivatives:
The prepayment options embedded in our Senior Subordinated Notes qualify as embedded derivatives which must be bifurcated for reporting in accordance with the new standards. As at January 1, 2007, we bifurcated the fair value of the embedded derivative asset of $9.3 from the Notes. As a result of recording this asset, the amortized cost of long-term debt increased. We also recorded a cumulative adjustment of $1.9 against the opening deficit. Any subsequent change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives will be recorded in operations.
(iv) Effective interest method:
We incurred underwriting commissions and expenses relating to our Senior Subordinated Notes offerings. Previously, these costs were deferred in other assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the debt. The new standards require us to reclassify these costs as a reduction of the cost of the debt and to use the effective interest rate method to amortize the costs to operations. As at January 1, 2007, we reclassified $10.3 of unamortized costs from other assets to long-term debt and recorded an adjustment to reflect the balance had we used the effective interest rate method since inception. This resulted in a $1.2 increase in the unamortized costs, a decrease of $0.8 in opening deficit and an increase of $0.4 in deferred income tax liability.
(b) Accounting changes:
In January 2007, we adopted CICA Handbook Section 1506, Accounting changes, which requires that voluntary changes in accounting policy are made only if the changes result in financial statements that provide more reliable and more relevant information. It also requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
(i) Inventories:
In June 2007, the CICA issued Section 3031, Inventories, which requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard provides guidance on the types of costs that can be capitalized and requires the reversal of previous inventory write-downs if economic circumstances have changed to support higher inventory values. The standard is effective for 2008. Commencing in the first quarter of 2008, we are required to disclose the amount of inventory recognized in cost of sales each quarter, as well as any inventory write-down or reversals each quarter. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
(ii) Financial instruments and capital disclosure:
In December 2006, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments, Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments, Presentation. These standards provide additional guidance on disclosing risks related to recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed. The CICA also issued Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, which provides guidance for disclosing information about an entitys capital and how it manages its capital. These standards are effective for 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these standards on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions and divestitures:
As part of the acquisition of Manufacturers Services Limited (MSL) in 2004, we recorded liabilities for consolidating some of the acquired MSL sites. We have completed the major components of these restructuring plans except for certain long-term lease and contractual obligations which will be paid out over the remaining lease terms through 2010. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand. We record the restructuring liability in accrued liabilities.

2006 acquisition activity:
In March 2006, we acquired certain assets located in the Philippines from Powerwave Technologies, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $19.1. Amortizable intangible assets arising from this acquisition were $7.6, primarily for customer relationships and contract intangibles.
2006 divestiture:
In June 2006, we sold our plastics business for net cash proceeds of $18.5. Our plastics business was located primarily in Asia. During the second quarter of 2006, we reported a loss on sale of $33.2 which we recorded as other charges. This loss included $20.0 in goodwill allocated to the plastics business. As part of the sale agreement, we provided routine indemnities to the purchaser which management believes will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

(a) In April 2007, we renegotiated the terms of our revolving credit facility and reduced the amount available from $600.0 to $300.0. We also extended the maturity from June 2007 to April 2009. Under the terms of the
12
CELESTICA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
extension, we have pledged certain assets, including the shares of certain North American subsidiaries, as security.
The facility includes a $25.0 swing-line facility that provides for short-term borrowings up to a maximum of seven days. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, except that borrowings under the swing-line facility bear interest at a base rate plus a margin. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility. Commitment fees for the third quarter of 2007 were $0.4 ($1.9 first nine months of 2007).
The facility has restrictive covenants relating to debt incurrence and sale of assets and also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2007. Based on the required financial ratios at September 30, 2007, we have approximately $220 of available debt incurrence.
We also have uncommitted bank overdraft facilities available for operating requirements which total $49.5 at September 30, 2007. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.
(b) In June 2004, we issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 with an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 and a fixed interest rate of 7.875%. We incurred $12.0 in underwriting commissions and expenses which we deferred and are amortizing over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. The 2011 Notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all our senior debt. We may redeem the 2011 Notes on July 1, 2008 or later at various premiums above face value.
In connection with the 2011 Notes offering, we entered into agreements to swap the fixed interest rate with a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a margin. The average interest rate on the 2011 Notes was 8.4% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 (8.5% third quarter of 2006; 8.1% first nine months of 2006).
(c) In June 2005, we issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 with an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 and a fixed interest rate of 7.625%. We incurred $4.2 in underwriting commissions and expenses which we deferred and are amortizing over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. The 2013 Notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all our senior debt. We may redeem the 2013 Notes on July 1, 2009 or later at various premiums above face value.
(d) The prepayment options in the Notes qualify as embedded derivatives which must be bifurcated for reporting under the new standards. As of September 30, 2007, the fair value of the embedded derivative asset is $5.4 and is recorded with long-term debt. The decrease in the fair value of $0.2 for the first nine months of 2007 is recorded in interest expense on long-term debt. As a result of bifurcating the prepayment option from the Notes, a basis adjustment is added to the amortized cost of the long-term debt. This basis adjustment is amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. This, combined with the change in the fair value of the debt obligation attributable to movement in the benchmark interest rates, resulted in a loss of $4.7 for the first nine months of 2007, which increases interest expense on long-term debt.

(a) 2001 to 2004 restructuring:
In 2001, we announced a restructuring plan in response to the weak end-markets in the computing and telecommunications industries. In response to the prolonged difficult end-market conditions, we announced a second restructuring plan in July 2002. The weak demand for our manufacturing services resulted in an accelerated move to lower-cost geographies and additional restructuring in the Americas and Europe. In January 2003, we announced further reductions to our manufacturing capacity in Europe. In 2004, we announced plans to further restructure our operations to better align capacity with customers requirements.
These restructuring actions were focused on consolidating facilities, reducing the workforce, and transferring programs to lower-cost geographies. The majority of the employees terminated were manufacturing and plant employees. For leased facilities that were no longer used, the lease costs included in the restructuring costs represent future lease payments less estimated sublease recoveries. Adjustments were made to lease and other contractual obligations to reflect incremental cancellation fees paid for terminating certain facility leases and to reflect higher accruals for other leases due to delays in the timing of sublease recoveries and changes in estimated sublease rates, relating principally to facilities in the Americas.
We have completed the major components of these restructuring plans, except for certain long-term lease and other contractual obligations, which will be paid out over the remaining lease terms through 2015. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand. The restructuring liability is recorded in accrued liabilities.

(b) 2005 to 2007 restructuring:
In January 2005, we announced plans to further improve capacity utilization and accelerate margin improvements. These restructuring actions included facility closures and a reduction in workforce, primarily targeting our higher-cost geographies where end-market demand had not recovered to the levels required to achieve sustainable profitability. We expected to complete these restructuring actions by the end of 2006. However, in light of our operating results in 2006 and in the course of preparing our 2007 plan in the fourth quarter of 2006, we identified additional restructuring actions to improve our profitability. These restructuring actions include additional downsizing of workforces to reflect the volume reductions at certain facilities and reducing overhead costs. We now expect to complete most of these restructuring actions by the end of the first half of 2008.
As of September 30, 2007, we have recorded termination costs related to approximately 7,200 employees, primarily operations and plant employees. Approximately 7,000 of these employees have been terminated as of September 30, 2007 with the balance of the terminations to occur by the end of the first half of 2008. Approximately 65% of employee terminations are in the Americas and 35% in Europe.

Cash outlays are and will be funded from cash on hand. The restructuring liability is recorded in accrued liabilities.
In September 2006, we sold one of our production facilities in Europe to a third party as part of our restructuring program. In connection with the sale, we provided indemnities to the purchaser which management believes will not have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial position or liquidity. The final post-closing cash was received in the first quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2007, we also repaid $4.0 to the purchaser which we were previously holding in escrow.
Restructuring summary:
We recorded restructuring charges of $13.2 in the first nine months of 2007. We expect to incur restructuring charges of approximately $25 to complete our previously announced restructuring actions. These charges will be recorded during the fourth quarter of 2007 and in the first half of 2008.
As of September 30, 2007, we have approximately $20 in assets that are available-for-sale, primarily land and buildings as a result of the restructuring actions we implemented. We have programs underway to sell these assets.
(c) In 2004, we recorded a write-down in other charges to reduce the net realizable value of certain assets for one customer which ceased operations in 2005. The 2007 amounts are primarily due to additional recoveries realized.

We have applied the fair-value method of accounting for stock option awards granted after January 1, 2003 and, accordingly, have recorded compensation expense. For awards granted in 2002, we have disclosed the pro forma earnings and per share information as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair-value method. We are not required to apply the pro forma impact of awards granted prior to January 1, 2002.

All of the 2002 option grants were fully vested by the end of 2006 and, therefore, do not impact our 2007 pro forma disclosure.
Our stock plans are described in note 9 to the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements.
8. Segment and geographic 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, geographic areas 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.
In 2006, we had three reportable operating segments: Asia, Americas and Europe. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, we realigned our organizational structure to more effectively manage our operations. We evaluate financial information for purposes of making decisions and assessing financial performance based on the types of services we offer. Our operating segments include electronics manufacturing and global services, which we combined for reporting purposes because our global services segment does not meet the qualitative threshold for separate segment disclosure. 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.

(a) This includes interest paid on the 2011 and 2013 Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Notes is payable in January and July of each year until maturity. See notes 4 (b) and (c). The interest paid on the 2011 Notes reflect the amounts received or paid relating to the interest rate swap agreements.
10. Derivative financial instruments:
We enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks relating to cash flow. At September 30, 2007, we had forward exchange contracts covering various currencies in an aggregate notional amount of $434.9. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2007 was a net unrealized gain of $21.1. As of September 30, 2007, $21.5 of derivative assets are recorded in prepaid and other assets, $0.4 of derivative assets are recorded in other assets and $0.8 of derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities relating to our hedges against foreign currency risks.
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 is $500.0. The agreements mature July 2011. See note 4(b). Payments or receipts under the swap agreements are recorded in interest expense on long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 2007 was an unrealized loss of $2.3 which is recorded in other long-term liabilities (December 31, 2006 unrealized loss of $7.9). The change in the fair value of the swap agreements of $5.6 for the first nine months of 2007 is recorded in interest expense on long-term debt.

12. Guarantees and contingencies:
We have contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety and performance bonds which we provided to various third parties. These guarantees cover various payments, including customs and excise taxes, utility commitments and certain bank guarantees. At September 30, 2007, these contingent liabilities amounted to $74.0 (December 31, 2006 $84.9).
In addition to the above guarantees, we have also provided routine indemnifications, whose terms 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 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 litigations were commenced against us, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer, in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York by individuals who claim they were purchasers of our stock, on behalf of themselves and other 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 adverse information with respect to demand and inventory in our Mexican operations and our information technology and communications divisions. A parallel class proceeding has recently been issued against us, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, although the claim has not yet been served against us and neither leave nor certification of the action has been granted by the 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 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 the expense of defending these cases, as well as potential judgments or settlement costs.
Income taxes:
We are subject to tax audits by local taxing authorities. International taxation authorities could challenge the validity of our inter-company financing and transfer pricing policies which generally involve subjective areas of taxation and a significant degree of judgment. If any of these taxation authorities is successful in challenging our financing or transfer pricing policies, our income tax expense may be adversely affected and we could also be subjected to interest and penalty charges. In connection with tax audits in the United States, taxing authorities asserted that our United States subsidiaries owed significant amounts of tax, interest and penalties arising from inter-company transactions. A significant portion of these asserted deficiencies were resolved in our favour in the fourth quarter of 2006. As a result, we recorded a reduction to our current income tax liabilities in 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, we resolved the remaining deficiencies in our favour which resulted in a reduction to current income tax liabilities for the quarter. The tax audit resolution also resulted in a small reduction in the amount of our U.S. tax loss carryforwards.
