FIRST QUARTER RESULTS                                 Wednesday, April 18, 2001
(All amounts in U.S. dollars.

                    CELESTICA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

        Revenue Increases 67% to $2.7 Billion, EPS Increases 95% to $0.39


TORONTO, Canada - Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSE: CLS), a world leader in
electronics manufacturing services (EMS), today announced financial results
for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $2,693 million, up 67 per
cent from $1,612 million in the first quarter of 2000. The increase was driven
by growth in all geographies and in key end-markets such as communications,
servers and storage.

Adjusted net earnings, which exclude the after-tax impact of amortization of
intangible assets, integration costs related to acquisitions and one-time
charges, increased 121 per cent to $87.3 million compared to $39.5 million in
the first quarter of 2000. The year-over-year improvements resulted from the
higher revenue and continued expansion in operating margin.

Adjusted net earnings per share rose 95 per cent to $0.39 per share compared to
$0.20 per share for the same period in 2000.

Net earnings increased 110 per cent to $54.8 million, or $0.25 per share,
compared to $26.1 million or $0.13 per share in the first quarter of 2000.


FORWARD GUIDANCE

For the second quarter, the company's guidance for revenue is approximately
$2.6-$2.8 billion.

The company also announced that in order to better balance its cost structure in
this weaker end-market environment, it expects to record a total of $40 to $60
million in restructuring charges by the end of the second quarter. The
restructuring will focus on facility consolidations and a global workforce
reduction of less than 10 per cent.

Second quarter guidance for adjusted earnings per share is approximately
$0.40-$0.42. Adjusted net earnings exclude the after tax impact of amortization
of intangible assets, integration costs related to acquisitions and one time
charges such as restructuring costs.

For the full year, the company said that due to continuing caution being
expressed by its customers related

                                        4




to lower levels of visibility for the balance of the year, Celestica would also
exercise a similar caution and not provide any full year guidance at this time.

The company said it continues to feel comfortable with its longer term 2003
financial goals of $20 billion in revenue, operating margins higher than 5 per
cent, and an operating return on invested capital of greater than 30 per cent.

"Despite very turbulent and difficult end-markets for some of our customers, we
are pleased that we were able to deliver solid revenue and earnings growth,"
said Eugene Polistuk, chairman and CEO, Celestica. "Our focus going forward is
to ensure we are managing our operations to deal with the current end-market
volatility without impairing our longer term potential to grow with our
customers' growing outsourcing needs."

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THESE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 11 CELESTICA INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (UNAUDITED) 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS: The primary operations of the Company consist of providing a full range of electronics manufacturing services including design, prototyping, assembly, testing, product assurance, supply chain management, worldwide distribution and after-sales service to its customers primarily in the computer and communications industries. The Company has operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Brazil, Singapore, Japan and Malaysia. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, with a reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, included in the annual consolidated financial statements. The Company experiences seasonal variation in revenue, with revenue typically being highest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the first quarter. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the annual consolidated financial statements, except that in the first quarter of 2001, the Company adopted retroactively the new Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3500 "Earnings per share," which requires the use of the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share. This change results in an earnings per share calculation which is consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Previously reported diluted earnings per share have been restated to reflect this change. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. 3. ACQUISITIONS: During the first quarter of 2001, the Company completed certain acquisitions which were accounted for as purchases. The results of operations of the net assets acquired are included in these financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. In January 2001, the Company acquired Excel Electronics, Inc. through a merger with Celestica (US) Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. The Company issued subordinate voting shares with a value of $1,500 as consideration. Approximately $1,500 in additional shares may be issued upon resolution of certain contingencies. In February 2001, the Company acquired certain assets located in Dublin, Ireland and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa from Motorola Inc. In March 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of a repair facility in Japan from N.K. Techno Co., Ltd. 12 CELESTICA INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (UNAUDITED) Details of the net assets acquired in these acquisitions, at fair value, are as follows:
ACQUISITIONS ------------ Current assets........................... $ 27,565 Capital assets........................... 37,991 Goodwill and intellectual property....... 833 Other intangible assets.................. 5,646 Liabilities assumed...................... (4,815) --------- Net assets acquired...................... $ 67,220 ======== Financed by: Cash.................................... $ 65,720 Issue of shares......................... 1,500 -------- $ 67,220 ========
Other intangible assets represent the excess of purchase price over the fair value of tangible assets acquired in facility acquisitions. In February 2001, the Company entered into agreements with Avaya Inc. to purchase certain assets in Denver, Colorado and Little Rock, Arkansas. The purchase price is estimated to be approximately $200,000. At the same time, the Company entered into a strategic supply agreement. This acquisition is expected to close in phases throughout the second and third quarters of 2001. 4. OUTSTANDING SHARES: As at March 23, 2001, Celestica had outstanding 39,065,950 multiple voting shares, 164,773,434 subordinate voting shares and 17,005,224 options to acquire subordinate voting shares under Celestica's employee incentive plans. 5. SEGMENTED INFORMATION: The Company's operations fall into one dominant industry segment, the electronics manufacturing services industry. The Company manages its operations, and accordingly determines its operating segments, on a geographic basis. The performance of geographic operating segments is monitored based on EBIAT (earnings before interest, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets, other charges and integration costs related to acquisitions). The Company monitors enterprise-wide performance based on adjusted net earnings, which is calculated as net earnings before amortization of intangible assets, other charges and integration costs related to acquisitions, net of related income taxes. Inter-segment transactions are reflected at market value. The following is a breakdown of: revenue, EBIAT, adjusted net earnings (which is after income taxes) and total assets by operating segment. Certain comparative information has been restated to reflect changes in the management of operating segments.
