CELESTICA ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND
FISCAL 2004 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Fourth Quarter Summary
TORONTO, Canada Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a world leader in electronics manufacturing services (EMS), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004.
Revenue was $2,333 million, up 22% from $1,915 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 and up 7% sequentially from the September quarter. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter was ($810) million or ($3.59) per share, associated primarily with non-cash write-downs of goodwill, long-lived assets, deferred tax assets and charges related to an increased allowance for doubtful accounts associated with one of its customers (details of charges listed below). These results compare to a GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2003 of ($168) million or ($0.80) per share.
Adjusted net earnings for the quarter were $43.2 million or $0.19 per share. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is defined as net earnings (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares and debt, integration costs related to acquisitions, option expense and other charges, net of tax, significant deferred tax write-offs. In the quarter, the company has also excluded in computing adjusted net earnings, a $161 million charge to increase its allowance for doubtful accounts and related inventory provisions with respect to a specific customer.
For the same period last year, the company reported a loss of ($8.0) million or ($0.04) per share (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 company's guidance for the fourth quarter, announced on October 21, 2004, of revenue of $2.075 $2.325 billion and adjusted net earnings per share of $0.12 to $0.20.
For fiscal 2004, revenue increased 31% to $8,840 million compared to $6,735 million for the same period in 2003. Net loss on a GAAP basis was ($854) million or ($3.85) per share compared to a net loss of ($267) million or ($1.23) per share last year. Adjusted net earnings for the year were $95.8 million or $0.43 per share compared to an adjusted net loss of ($24) million or a loss of ($0.11) per share for the same period in 2003.
"Although we are very disappointed with the charges taken in the quarter, we were pleased to see that the fourth quarter delivered solid revenue growth and continued expansion of operating margins," said Steve Delaney, CEO, Celestica. "Over the past few quarters, we have been focused on executing our restructuring plans while meeting our customers' needs, and I am encouraged with the progress we have made. Our revenue has shown solid growth; operating margins have shown steady improvement; we are building a vibrant lean manufacturing culture; and we have improved our operations footprint and cost profile. All these factors have contributed to our improved operating results."
"While we have substantially strengthened our operations, further improvement is needed. We have spent the past nine months carefully reviewing the business and assessing our operating footprint and, as a result, we have made the decision to further consolidate operations, largely in the higher cost geographies. This initiative will allow us to reduce underutilized assets throughout our organization. In the future, we believe we can generate satisfactory returns while providing our customers with exceptional service."
Fourth Quarter Charges
The following highlights the charges the company recorded during the fourth quarter that were excluded in the calculation of adjusted net earnings. Additional detail is also available below in the footnotes to the unaudited interim financial statements.

Outlook
For the first quarter ending March 31, 2005, the company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $2.0 billion to $2.225 billion and adjusted earnings per share ranging from $0.10 to $0.18. Revenue guidance reflects normal seasonality for the period, while adjusted net earnings continue to realize the benefits of operational efficiencies and additional cost savings from restructuring activities.
To improve capacity utilization in a more cautious end-market growth environment, the company plans to further restructure its operations and expects to incur additional restructuring charges in the range of $225 $275 million during 2005. The restructuring will include some plant closures and a 10-15% reduction of the company's global workforce (approximately 5,500 employees) over the next 15 months.
Management will host a conference call and web cast on Thursday, January 27 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time to discuss the company's fourth quarter and full year results. The conference call and webcast can be accessed at www.celestica.com.
Supplementary Information
In addition to disclosing detailed results in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Celestica also provides supplementary non-GAAP measures as a method to evaluate the company's 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 that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons and allows the company to compare its 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, non-cash option expenses, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments and any significant deferred tax write-offs. 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 to Canadian GAAP net earnings (loss) below.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the 2003 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the following:
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the revised CICA Handbook Section 3870, "Stock Based Compensation," which requires that a fair value method of accounting be applied to all stock-based compensation payments for both employees and non-employees. In accordance with the transitional provisions of Section 3870, the Company has prospectively applied the fair value method of accounting for stock option awards granted after January 1, 2003 and, accordingly, has recorded compensation expense. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company accounted for its employee stock options using the settlement method and no compensation expense was recognized. For awards granted in 2002, the standard requires the disclosure of pro forma earnings and per share information as if the Company had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method. The pro forma effect of awards granted prior to January 1, 2002 has not been included in the pro forma earnings and per share information.
The estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, on a straight-line basis, and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company's stock plans are described in note 9 to the 2003 annual consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company retroactively adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 3110, "Asset Retirement Obligations," which establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of liabilities for asset retirement obligations and the associated retirement costs. This section applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from their acquisition, lease, construction, development or normal operation. This standard is effective on a retroactive basis with restatement of prior periods. On January 1, 2004, the Company recorded a liability of $4.0 for the estimated costs of retiring leasehold improvements at the maturity of the facility leases. The Company also capitalized asset retirement costs of $1.8 on January 1, 2004. The impact of the amortization expense and accretion charges from the date the Company incurred the obligations through to January 1, 2004, the effective date of this standard, totals $2.2. The Company recorded a charge to the January 1, 2003 deficit of $1.3 for cumulative accretion and amortization. The impact of the accretion and amortization charges to cost of sales and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $0.9 (three months ended December 31, 2003 $0.3). The facility leases expire between 2005 and 2013.
The following table details the changes in the leasehold retirement liability:
January 1, 2004 | $ | 4.0 | |
Accretion charges recorded in cost of sales | 0.1 | ||
Assumed on acquisition of MSL | 1.3 | ||
March 31, 2004 | 5.4 | ||
Accretion charges recorded in cost of sales | 0.1 | ||
June 30, 2004 | 5.5 | ||
Accretion charges recorded in cost of sales | 0.1 | ||
September 30, 2004 | 5.6 | ||
New obligations, net of adjustments | 0.2 | ||
Accretion charges recorded in cost of sales | 0.1 | ||
December 31, 2004 | $ | 5.9 | |
The adjustment to the leasehold assets in respect of asset retirement costs is amortized into income over the remaining life of the leases, on a straight-line basis. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, amortization expense of $0.1 and $0.5 was recorded in cost of sales.
10
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company early adopted the amendment to CICA Handbook Section 3860, "Financial Instruments Presentation and Disclosure." The revised standard requires obligations of a fixed amount that may be settled, at the issuer's option, by a variable number of the issuer's own equity instruments to be presented as liabilities. Any securities issued by an enterprise that give the issuer unrestricted rights to settle the principal amount in cash or the equivalent value of its own equity instruments will no longer be presented as equity. The standard is effective on a retroactive basis with restatement of prior periods. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company reclassified the principal component of its convertible debt (LYONs) as a debt instrument and recorded all accretion charges, amortization of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on repurchases relating to the principal component and related tax effects as charges to the statement of operations. The option component of the LYONs continues to be accounted for as an equity instrument.
Upon adoption of this standard, the Company:
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the CICA Accounting Guideline AcG-13, "Hedging Relationships," which establishes new criteria for hedge accounting and applies to all hedging relationships in effect on or after January 1, 2004. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company has determined that all of its hedge agreements qualified for hedge accounting under the new guidelines.
In connection with the issuance of its $500.0 principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes in June 2004, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the fair value of the Notes, by swapping the fixed rate of interest for a variable interest rate. The notional amount of the agreements is $500.0. The agreements are effective June 2004 and mature July 2011. See note 4(b).
Payments or receipts under the swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense on long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2004 was an unrealized gain of $19.8.

3. Acquisitions and divestitures:
On March 12, 2004, the Company acquired Manufacturers' Services Limited (MSL), a full-service global electronics manufacturing and supply chain services company, headquartered in the United States. This acquisition provided the Company with an expanded customer base and service offerings, and supports the Company's strategy of diversifying its end-markets. MSL's customers come from diverse industries including industrial, commercial avionics, automotive, retail systems, medical, communications and network storage, and peripherals.
The purchase price of $321.2 was financed with the issuance of 14.1 million subordinate voting shares, the issuance of options to purchase 2.1 million subordinate voting shares, the issuance of warrants to purchase 1.1 million subordinate voting shares, and $51.6 in cash. The value of the shares was determined based on the average market price of the shares for a reasonable period before and after the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The fair value of the options and warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk-free rate of 1.9%, a dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility factors of 62% to 68% and a range of expected option lives, generally three years or less.
During the quarter, the Company refined its purchase price allocation as certain information became available. Details of the net assets acquired, at estimated fair value, are as follows:
Current assets | $ | 277.1 | ||
Capital assets | 59.1 | |||
Other long-term assets | 6.6 | |||
Goodwill | 224.4 | |||
Customer intangibles | 35.0 | |||
Other liabilities assumed | (213.0 | ) | ||
Deferred taxes | (27.0 | ) | ||
Long-term debt assumed | (41.0 | ) | ||
Net assets acquired | $ | 321.2 | ||
Financed by: |
||||
Cash | $ | 51.6 | ||
Issuance of shares | 245.5 | |||
Issuance of options | 15.2 | |||
Issuance of warrants (see note 6) | 8.9 | |||
$ | 321.2 | |||
The Company has allocated goodwill to the reporting segments as follows: Americas $111.6, Europe $72.2 and Asia $40.6. The goodwill recorded for MSL is not tax deductible.
In connection with the MSL acquisition, the Company determined that it will consolidate some of the acquired MSL facilities, including a workforce reduction. The Company has recorded the liability for the restructuring costs as part of the purchase price.
The planned actions include employee termination and lease exit costs in all geographies. The Company expects to complete the major components of the restructuring within one year from the acquisition date, with the exception of 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.

In April 2004, the Company acquired certain assets located in the Philippines from NEC Corporation. The final purchase price was determined to be $8.1.
In September 2004, the Company sold certain assets relating to its power operations for a cash selling price of $52.8. The Company reported a gain on sale of $12.0 which was recorded in Other Charges (see note 7(g)). $2.0 of the proceeds is held in escrow and will be released on completion of certain closing procedures. The Company has signed a multi-year agreement to supply manufacturing services to the purchaser. The sale has not been treated as a discontinued operation due to the Company's continuing involvement as a manufacturer for the purchaser.
As part of the sales agreement, the Company has provided routine indemnities which management believes will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.

The facility has restrictive covenants relating to debt incurrence and sale of assets and also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. A change of control is an event of default. Based on the required minimum financial ratios, at December 31, 2004, the Company is limited to approximately $480 of available debt incurrence. The available debt incurrence under the facility has been reduced by outstanding letters of credit totaling $61.1. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as at December 31, 2004.
13
In connection with the Notes offering, the Company entered into agreements which swap the fixed interest rate on the Notes with a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a margin. The average interest rate on the Notes was 5.0% for the quarter. See note 2(iv).
5. Convertible debt:
Pursuant to Canadian GAAP, the LYONs are bifurcated into a principal component and an option component. The principal component is recorded as debt and the option component is recorded as equity. See note 2(iii). During the second quarter of 2004, the Company paid $299.7 to repurchase LYONs with a principal amount at maturity of $540.3. The loss on the repurchase of LYONs for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $15.2 was apportioned between the principal and option components, based on their relative fair values compared to their carrying values. The Company recognized a loss on the option component which is recorded in retained earnings and a gain on the principal component which is recorded in Other Charges. See note 7(j).
At December 31, 2004, the Company has outstanding LYONs with a principal amount at maturity of $614.4 payable August 1, 2020. Holders of the instruments have the option to require Celestica to repurchase their LYONs on August 2, 2005, at a price of $572.82 per LYON, or a total of $352.0. The Company may elect to settle its repurchase obligation in cash or shares, or any combination thereof.
6. Capital stock and warrants:
The Company completed its second Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) in July 2004. The Company repurchased a total of 22.6 million subordinate voting shares under its two NCIBs during the period from July 2002 to July 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company repurchased 20.6 million subordinate voting shares. There were no repurchases during 2004.
In connection with the MSL acquisition, the Company issued Series A and Series B warrants to replace the outstanding MSL warrants. The Series A warrants are fully vested and exercisable at any time through March 14, 2007 at an exercise price of $18.72 per share. The Series B warrants are fully vested and exercisable at any time through July 3, 2008 at an exercise price of $16.73 per share. The Company has the right to require the holders of both Series A and Series B warrants to exercise their warrants if the Company's subordinate voting shares trade at 175% of the exercise price of the warrants during a specified period.

In 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan in response to the weak end-markets. Weak end-market conditions in the computing and communications industries resulted in customers in those segments rescheduling and cancelling orders, directly impacting the Company's operations.
The Company completed the major components of its 2001 restructuring plan in 2002, 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 accrued restructuring liability is recorded in Accrued Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
In response to the prolonged difficult end-market conditions, particularly in the computing and communications industries, the Company announced a second restructuring plan in July 2002. The weak demand for the Company's manufacturing services resulted in an accelerated move to lower cost geographies and additional restructuring in the Americas and Europe.
These restructuring actions were focused on consolidating facilities, reducing the workforce, and transferring programs to lower cost geographies. Approximately 6,400 employees have been terminated, of which approximately 80% were in the Americas and 20% in Europe. The majority of the employees terminated were manufacturing and plant employees. In 2003, the Company increased its employee termination costs by $7.4 due to changes in planned headcount reductions. The facility actions included closing or consolidating 9 facilities in the Americas and Europe. For leased facilities that were no longer used, the lease costs included in the restructuring costs represent future lease payments less estimated sublease recoveries. In 2003, the Company made an adjustment to lease and other contractual obligations of $16.2 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.
The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $194.5 to write-down certain long-lived assets (85% in Americas, 10% in Europe and 5% in Asia) which became impaired as a result of the rationalization of facilities. In addition to buildings and improvements, and machinery and equipment, the asset impairments also related to intellectual property and other intangible assets. In 2003, the Company recorded a non-cash adjustment against its capital assets of $10.8. This recovery was primarily due to amendments of its 2002 restructuring plans in 2003; as a result of customer requirements, certain assets no longer qualified as available-for-sale which resulted in a $13.0 increase to the book value of the assets. Included in the December 31, 2002 impairment charges were charges of $17.1 related to these capital assets that were classified as available-for-sale.
The Company has completed the major components of its 2002 restructuring plan at the end of December 2004, except for certain long-term lease and other contractual obligations which will be paid out over the remaining lease terms through 2011. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand.

The accrued restructuring liability is recorded in Accrued Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
In January 2003, the Company announced that it will further reduce its manufacturing capacity. These restructuring actions were focused on workforce reductions and facility consolidations in Europe. Termination announcements were made in 2003 to approximately 480 employees, primarily manufacturing and plant employees. Approximately 280 employees have been terminated as of December 31, 2004, with the balance expected to be paid out by the end of the third quarter of 2005. Included in the negotiated termination costs are payments to regulatory agencies, in accordance with local labour legislation, which are expected to be paid out through 2007. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand.
The non-cash charge for asset impairment of $8.5 reflects the write-down of certain capital assets, primarily in Europe, which were disposed of, or that have become impaired and are available-for-sale, as a result of the 2003 restructuring. The capital assets were written down to their fair values.

The accrued restructuring liability is recorded in Accrued Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
In January and April 2004, the Company announced plans to further restructure its operations to better align capacity with customers' requirements. These restructuring actions were focused on workforce reductions and facility consolidations in all regions. As of December 31, 2004, termination announcements were made to approximately 4,600 employees, consisting of executive, manufacturing and plant employees. Approximately 3,700 employees have been terminated as of December 31, 2004. Approximately 55% of the employee terminations were in the Americas, 35% in Asia and 10% in Europe.
Included in the 2004 restructuring costs is $7.5 related to the disposition of certain assets of the power operations.
In 2004, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $33.9 to write-down certain long-lived assets primarily in Asia (55%) and Americas (40%) which became impaired due to facility consolidations. In addition to buildings and leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment, the asset impairments also related to an intellectual property write-down of $3.1 in the Americas.
The Company expects to complete these restructuring actions by early 2005. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand.

Restructuring summary:
As part of the plan to better align its capacity, the Company expected to incur restructuring charges of between $175.0 and $200.0 to be recorded throughout 2004 and into the first quarter of 2005. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has recorded restructuring charges of $153.7 relating to this plan.
As of December 31, 2004, assets included $35.9 representing assets available-for-sale, primarily land and buildings in all geographies, as a result of the restructuring actions implemented by the Company. The Company has programs underway to sell these assets.
The Company is required to evaluate goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Absent any triggering factors during the year, the Company conducts its goodwill assessment in the fourth quarter of the year to correspond with its planning cycle. Impairment is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's 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. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment of goodwill exists. Impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of goodwill, determined in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, to its carrying amount.
During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test for its identified reporting units (Americas, Europe, Asia) and determined there was no impairment for 2003 as the reporting unit fair values exceeded carrying values.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and identified reporting units representing the Company's operational structure (Americas, Europe and Asia). Revenue and expense projections used in determining the fair values of the reporting units were based on management's estimates, including estimates of current and future industry conditions. When the Company finalized its 2005 business plan in the fourth quarter, and made certain determinations with respect to its restructuring plans and the continued transfer of major customer programs from higher cost to lower cost geographies, a comparison of the estimated fair value to the respective reporting unit carrying value indicated a goodwill impairment in the Americas and Europe reporting units. The planned transfer of certain programs and additional restructuring actions had a significant impact on the forecasted revenue of facilities in the Americas and Europe reporting units. Despite the positive impact of the acquisition of MSL, the acquired goodwill allocated to these two reporting units was negatively impacted by their overall regional performance. In measuring the goodwill impairment for these reporting units, the Company used a discounted cash flow model assuming discount rates of 13% to 15% and long-term annual growth rates of 2% to 4%. Total goodwill impairment for 2004 was $288.0.

Absent any triggering factors during the year, the Company conducts an annual review of long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of each year to correspond with its planning cycle. In the course of finalizing its 2004 and 2005 business plans, the Company made certain decisions regarding its restructuring plans and the transfer of major customer programs from higher cost to lower cost geographies. These actions significantly impacted forecasted revenue and have reduced the forecasted net cash flows for certain sites, resulting in impairment when compared to the carrying value of the assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $82.8, relating to the Americas (41%) and Europe (59%). The Company wrote down $25.3 of intangible assets, comprised of $18.2 in intellectual property and $7.1 in other intangible assets, and recorded an impairment of $57.5 against capital assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $99.3, relating to the Americas (75%) and Europe (25%). The Company wrote down $30.7 of intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and contract intangibles, and recorded an impairment of $68.6 against capital assets.
In September 2004, the Company sold certain assets relating to its power operations. See note 3(iii).
In June 2004, the Company cancelled one of its credit facilities and expensed related deferred financing costs of $1.6. See note 4.
In the normal course of operations, the Company adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts for specific customer risks and credit factors. One of the Company's customers has experienced a significant deterioration in its financial condition. Although the customer is attempting to recapitalize, there can be no assurances that it will be successful. As a result, the Company has determined that an additional provision is required to reflect estimated recoverable amounts for accounts and notes receivable, inventory and non-cancelable purchase orders assuming the company is not successful. Charges of $116.8 and $44.6 have been recorded in Other Charges and Cost of Sales, respectively, to reflect management's best estimate of the net recoverable amount of $20.8. If the financial condition affecting that customer or management's estimates of the customer's cash flows change in future reporting periods, there could be further impairment or a recovery of amounts previously written down.
In 2003 and 2004, the Company repurchased LYONs resulting in a gain on the principal component. See note 5.
During the third quarter of 2004, the Company decided to restructure and exit certain product offerings resulting in a $16.6 write-down of the related inventory.

8. Income taxes:
The Company currently has significant deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions resulting from net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences, which will reduce taxable income in these jurisdictions in future periods. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company established a valuation allowance for most of the remaining deferred tax assets in the United States and Europe recognizing a $248.2 charge. The Company expects to record a full valuation allowance on future deferred tax assets arising in these jurisdictions until a sustained level of taxable income is reached.
In previous reporting periods, the Company provided valuation allowances for future tax benefits resulting from net operating loss carryforwards and for certain other deductible temporary differences where it believed future realizability was in doubt. The Company had believed it was more likely than not that the remaining net deferred tax assets would be realized principally based upon forecasted taxable income, generally within the net operating loss carryforward period. During the fourth quarter, in the course of finalizing its 2005 business plan, the Company identified significant developments which it considered in determining its valuation allowance, including the necessity for further restructuring actions to attain profitability and the continued transfer of major customer programs from higher cost to lower cost geographies.
9. Pension and non-pension post-employment benefit plans:
The Company has recorded the following pension expense:

10. 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/loss before interest and accretion on convertible debt, amortization of intangible assets, integration costs related to acquisitions, other charges, non-cash option expense and income taxes). Inter-segment transactions are reflected at market value. The following is a breakdown by reporting segment:

13. Guarantees and contingencies:
Contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety and performance bonds are provided to various third parties. These guarantees cover various payments, including customs and excise taxes, utility commitments and certain bank guarantees. At December 31, 2004, these liabilities, including guarantees of employee share purchase loans, amounted to $63.7 (September 30, 2004 $63.5).
In addition to the above guarantees, the Company has also provided routine indemnifications, whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. These may include indemnifications against adverse effects due to changes in tax laws and patent infringements by third parties. The maximum amounts payable with respect to these indemnifications cannot reasonably be estimated. In some cases, the Company has recourse against other parties to mitigate its risk of loss from these indemnifications. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments relating to these types of indemnifications.
In the normal course of operations the Company is subject to litigation and claims from time to time. Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required. Although it is not always possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.
14. Comparative information:
The Company has reclassified certain prior period information to conform to the current periods presentation.
15. Subsequent event:
In January 2005, the Company announced that it will incur a pre-tax restructuring charge of between $225.0 and $275.0, to be recorded over the next 15 months, of which approximately 80% will be cash costs.
