NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2023 AND JULY 2, 2022
Unaudited

1.Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Plexus Corp. and its subsidiaries (together “Plexus” or the “Company”) without audit and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022, the results of operations and shareholders' equity for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, and the cash flows for the same nine month periods.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30. The Company uses a “4-4-5” weekly accounting system for the interim periods in each quarter. Each quarter, therefore, ends on a Saturday at the end of the 4-4-5 period. Periodically, an additional week must be added to the fiscal year to re-align with the Saturday closest to September 30. All fiscal quarters presented herein included 13 weeks.
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations dealing with interim financial statements. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. The Company has considered information available as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgments, or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, which requires enhanced disclosures about supplier finance programs. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impacts of the guidance and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, or apply to its operations.

Less: current portion (304,781) (273,971)
Long-term debt, finance lease and other financing obligations, net of current portion $ 187,468  $ 187,776 
As of July 1, 2023, the Company was in compliance with covenants for all debt agreements.
During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, the highest daily borrowing under the Company's 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (referred to as the "Credit Facility") was $412.0 million; the average daily balance was $341.9 million. During the nine months ended July 2, 2022, the highest daily borrowing was $327.0 million; the average daily balance was $204.9 million.
The fair value of the Company’s debt, excluding finance lease and other financing obligations, was $439.0 million and $401.6 million as of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt, excluding finance lease and other financing obligations, was $447.0 million and $413.0 million as of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, the Company's debt would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 4, "Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements," for further information regarding the Company's fair value calculations and classifications.

4.    Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements
All derivatives are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value. The Company uses derivatives to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations. The Company has cash flow hedges related to forecasted foreign currency obligations, in addition to non-designated hedges to manage foreign currency exposures associated with certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company designates some foreign currency exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency expenses. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows. In the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $1.3 million of unrealized losses, net of tax, related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings. Changes in the fair value of the non-designated derivatives related to recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are recorded in "Miscellaneous, net" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts for its operations in certain jurisdictions in the AMER and APAC segments on a rolling basis. The Company had cash flow hedges outstanding with a notional value of $215.0 million as of July 1, 2023, and a notional value of $143.2 million as of October 1, 2022. These forward currency contracts fix the exchange rates for the settlement of future foreign currency obligations that have yet to be realized. The total fair value of the forward currency exchange contracts was a $1.3 million liability as of July 1, 2023, and a $6.0 million liability as of October 1, 2022.

Table of Contents
The Company had additional forward currency exchange contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2023, with a notional value of $123.4 million; there were $60.1 million of such contracts outstanding as of October 1, 2022. The Company did not designate these derivative instruments as hedging instruments. The net settlement amount (fair value) related to these contracts is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either a current or long-term asset or liability, depending on the term, and as an element of "Miscellaneous, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The total fair value of these derivatives was a $0.3 million liability as of July 1, 2023, and a $0.3 million asset as of October 1, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements:
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (or exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses quoted market prices when available or discounted cash flows to calculate fair value. The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The input levels are:
Level 1: Quoted (observable) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following table lists the fair values of assets of the Company’s derivatives as of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022, by input level:
Fair Value Measurements Using Input Levels Liability (in thousands)
Fiscal period ended July 1, 2023

Fiscal period ended October 1, 2022
Derivatives
Foreign currency forward contracts $ —  $ 5,726  $ —  $ 5,726 
The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined using a market approach, which includes obtaining directly or indirectly observable values from third parties active in the relevant markets. Inputs in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts include prevailing forward and spot prices for currency.

5.    Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 was $1.6 million and $15.8 million, respectively, compared to $5.8 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2022, respectively.
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 were 9.1% and 13.8%, respectively, compared to the effective tax rate of 13.4% for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2022. The decrease for the three months ended July 1, 2023 compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in discrete tax benefits of $3.0 million. The increase for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022 was primarily due to a change in the geographic distribution of pre-tax book income, partially offset by an increase in discrete tax benefits of $3.2 million.
10
Table of Contents
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded for uncertain tax positions increased by $3.5 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The amount of interest and penalties recorded for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
One or more uncertain tax positions may be settled within the next 12 months. Settlement of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company is not currently under examination by taxing authorities in the U.S. The Company is under audit in a foreign jurisdiction but any settlement is not expected to have a material impact.
The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a net deferred tax asset will not be realized. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions within the EMEA segment and a partial valuation against its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions within the AMER segment, as it was more likely than not that these assets would not be fully realized based primarily on historical performance. The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each of the applicable jurisdictions going forward until it determines it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

6.    Earnings Per Share

9.    Litigation
The Company is party to lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending legal matters when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
In June 2023, the Company paid a one-time, non-recurring payment of $15.8 million related to an arbitration decision in Norway regarding a contractual matter concluded in May 2023. This payment resulted in a $14.2 million one-time, non-recurring charge, net of insurance recoveries and amounts previously accrued. The Company no longer provides services for this customer. Refer to Note 15, "Restructuring and Non-recurring Charges," for information regarding total charges. The Company does not expect further charges relating to this matter, but is pursuing further insurance recoveries.
Management does not believe that any other such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material positive or adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial fines, civil or criminal penalties, and other expenditures.

10.    Reportable Segments
Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or group, in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company uses an internal management reporting system, which provides important financial data to evaluate performance and allocate the Company’s resources on a regional basis. Net sales for the segments are attributed to the region in which the product is manufactured or the service is performed. The services provided, manufacturing processes used, class of customers serviced and order fulfillment processes used are similar and generally interchangeable across the segments. A segment’s performance is evaluated based upon its operating income. A segment’s operating income includes its net sales less cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses but excludes corporate and other expenses. Corporate and other expenses primarily represent corporate selling and administrative expenses, and restructuring costs and other charges, if any. These costs are not allocated to the segments, as management excludes such costs when assessing the performance of the segments. Inter-segment transactions are generally recorded at amounts that approximate arm’s length transactions. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as for the Company taken as a whole.

11.    Guarantees
The Company offers certain indemnifications under its customer manufacturing agreements. In the normal course of business, the Company may from time to time be obligated to indemnify its customers or its customers’ customers against damages or liabilities arising out of the Company’s negligence, misconduct, breach of contract, or infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. Certain agreements have extended broader indemnification, and while most agreements have contractual limits, some do not. However, the Company generally does not provide for such indemnities and seeks indemnification from its customers for damages or liabilities arising out of the Company’s adherence to customers’ specifications or designs or use of materials furnished, or directed to be used, by its customers. The Company does not believe its obligations under such indemnities are material.
In the normal course of business, the Company also provides its customers a limited warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the Company. Such warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects in the Company’s workmanship and meet mutually agreed-upon specifications for periods generally ranging from 12 months to 24 months. The Company’s obligation is generally limited to correcting, at its expense, any defect by repairing or replacing such defective product. The Company’s warranty generally excludes defects resulting from faulty customer-supplied components, design defects or damage caused by any party or cause other than the Company.

Table of Contents
The Company provides an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its limited warranty at the time product revenue is recognized and establishes additional reserves for specifically identified product issues. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement and are included in the Company's accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in "other accrued liabilities." The primary factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the value and the number of shipped units and historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Below is a table summarizing the activity related to the Company’s limited warranty liability for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 (in thousands):

Reserve balance, end of period $ 5,485  $ 7,044 

12.    Shareholders' Equity
On August 11, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock (the "2022 Program"). The 2022 Program commenced upon completion of the 2021 Program and was completed in fiscal 2022. During the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company repurchased 148,571 shares under this program for $11.7 million at an average price of $79.27 per share. During the nine months ended July 2, 2022, the Company repurchased 564,718 shares under this program for $46.9 million at an average price of $83.07 per share.
On August 18, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock (the "2023 Program"). The 2023 Program became effective immediately and has no expiration. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company repurchased 149,783 shares under this program for $13.5 million at an average price of $90.49 per share. During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, the Company repurchased 391,145 shares under this program for $37.4 million at an average price of $95.70 per share. As of July 1, 2023, $9.1 million of the 2023 Program remained available to repurchase shares.
All shares repurchased under the aforementioned programs were recorded as treasury stock.

13.    Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
The Company has Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements with MUFG Bank, New York Branch (formerly known as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.) (the "MUFG RPA"), HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited, Xiamen branch (the "HSBC RPA") and other unaffiliated financial institutions, under which the Company may elect to sell receivables; at a discount. All facilities are uncommitted facilities. The maximum facility amount under the MUFG RPA is $340.0 million. The maximum facility amount under the HSBC RPA is $60.0 million. The MUFG RPA will be automatically extended each year unless any party gives no less than 10 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended. The terms of the HSBC RPA are generally consistent with the terms of the MUFG RPA.
Transfers of receivables under the programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, receivables sold under the programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Proceeds from the transfer reflect the face value of the receivables less a discount. The sale discount is recorded within "Miscellaneous, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period of the sale. The Company continues servicing receivables sold and performing all accounts receivable administrative functions, and in exchange receives a servicing fee, under both the MUFG RPA and HSBC RPA. Servicing fees related to trade accounts receivable programs recognized during the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were not material.

The Company sold $205.3 million and $213.6 million of trade accounts receivable under these programs, or their predecessors, during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, in exchange for cash proceeds of $202.9 million and $212.3 million, respectively.

The Company sold $616.6 million and $563.8 million of trade accounts receivable under these programs, or their predecessors, during the nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, in exchange for cash proceeds of $609.4 million and $561.3 million, respectively.

As of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022, $216.8 million and $222.5 million, respectively, of accounts receivables sold under trade accounts receivable programs and subject to servicing by the Company remained outstanding and had not yet been collected.

14.    Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is recognized over time for arrangements with customers for which: (i) the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and (ii) the Company has an enforceable right to payment, including reasonable profit margin, for performance completed to date. Revenue recognized over time is estimated based on costs incurred to date plus a reasonable profit margin. If either of the two conditions noted above are not met to recognize revenue over time, revenue is recognized following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying arrangement.
The Company recognizes revenue when a contract exists and when, or as, it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer. Contracts are accounted for when they have approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer.
The Company generally enters into a master services arrangement that establishes the framework under which business will be conducted. These arrangements represent the master terms and conditions of the Company's services that apply to individual orders, but they do not commit the customer to work with, or to continue to work with, the Company nor do they obligate the customer to any specific volume or pricing of purchases. Moreover, these terms can be amended in appropriate situations.
Customer purchase orders are received for specific quantities with predominantly fixed pricing and delivery requirements. Thus, for the majority of our contracts, there is no guarantee of any revenue to the Company until a customer submits a purchase order. As a result, the Company generally considers its arrangement with a customer to be the combination of the master services arrangement and the purchase order. Most of the Company's arrangements with customers create a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual manufactured product or service is capable of being distinct.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time. A performance obligation is satisfied over time if the Company has an enforceable right to payment, including a reasonable profit margin. Determining if an enforceable right to payment includes a reasonable profit margin requires judgment and is assessed on a contract by contract basis.
Generally, there are no subjective customer acceptance requirements or further obligations related to goods or services provided; if such requirements or obligations exist, then a sale is recognized at the time when such requirements are completed and such obligations are fulfilled.
The Company does not allow for a general right of return. Net sales include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling and out-of-pocket expenses. The corresponding shipping and handling costs and out-of-pocket expenses are included in cost of sales. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from net sales.
Contract Costs
For contracts requiring over time revenue recognition, the selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company uses a cost-based input measurement of progress because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as costs are incurred during the manufacturing process or as services are rendered. Under the cost-based measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the costs incurred to date. There were no other costs to obtain or fulfill customer contracts.

For the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023, approximately 83% and 81% of the Company's revenue, respectively, was recognized as products and services were transferred over time. For the three and nine months ended July 2, 2022, approximately 83% and 85% of the Company's revenue, respectively, was recognized as products and services were transferred over time.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue on the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract Assets: For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, at which point the customer has been billed and the resulting asset is recorded within accounts receivable. For performance obligations satisfied over time as work progresses, the Company has an unconditional right to payment, which results in the recognition of contract assets. The following table summarizes the activity in the Company's contract assets during the nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended
July 1,
2023		 July 2,
2022
Contract assets, beginning of period $ 138,540  $ 115,283 
Revenue recognized during the period 2,589,181  2,279,559 
Amounts collected or invoiced during the period (2,594,726) (2,266,792)
Contract assets, end of period $ 132,995  $ 128,050 
Deferred Revenue: Deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of the contract, which is included in other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022 the balance of advance payments from customers was $215.7 million and $298.8 million, respectively. The advance payment is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect the company from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. Deferred revenue is recognized into revenue when all revenue recognition criteria are met. For performance obligations satisfied over time, recognition will occur as work progresses; otherwise deferred revenue will be recognized based upon shipping terms.

15.    Restructuring and Non-recurring Charges
Restructuring and non-recurring charges are recorded within restructuring and other charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Restructuring liabilities are primarily recorded within other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023, the Company incurred restructuring and other charges of $8.9 million, which consisted of severance from the reduction of the Company's workforce and a lease agreement termination. Additionally, the Company incurred a one-time, non-recurring charge of $14.2 million relating to an arbitration decision in Norway regarding a contractual matter.

For the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company did not incur any restructuring and impairment charges. For the nine months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recorded $2.0 million of restructuring and impairment charges primarily due to employee severance costs associated with a facility transition in the Company's APAC segment.

The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and "Risk Factors" included in Part II, Item 1A included herein as well as Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2022, and our "Safe Harbor" Cautionary Statement included above.

Market Pressures Update
We have experienced an inability to procure certain components on a timely basis due to global supply chain constraints. These constraints have impacted our ability to meet customer demand and may inhibit our ability to capture the demand from our customers. The extended lead-times have required us to make additional investments in inventory to satisfy customer demand, which we expect to persist.

Over the past year, the global supply chain constraints have led to inflation in some of the components we acquire, as well as labor and operating costs. We have also been, and expect to continue to be, subject to such inflationary and general labor cost increases. While we have been largely able to mitigate the impacts of inflation through our contractual rights with customers on pricing, the pricing recoveries received may be dilutive to our operating margin. The inability to offset these costs in future periods or the impacts of continued inflation on end markets and our customers may affect our operating results, cash flows and inventory levels, which could increase as a result of higher component prices or the negative effects of inflation on customer end-market demand.

The Department of Commerce’s export controls restricting the People’s Republic of China’s access to advanced semiconductors, supercomputers, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment has created demand volatility for some of our customers as they adjust their forecasts as a result of these restrictions, which can create operating inefficiencies that may place additional burden on our operating results.

Changes in tax laws or tax rates in the jurisdictions where we operate, including the potential passage of tax regulation changes such as the establishment of a global minimum tax could result in adverse tax consequences. During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, certain jurisdictions consented to implement a global minimum tax. We will continue to monitor these developments as each jurisdiction incorporates such changes into tax laws.

In June 2023, we paid a one-time, non-recurring payment of $15.8 million related to an arbitration decision in Norway regarding a contractual matter concluded upon in May 2023. Refer to Note 15, "Restructuring and Non-recurring Charges," for information regarding total charges. We no longer provide services for this customer and do not expect further charges relating to this matter, but are pursuing further insurance recoveries. We do not believe that any other such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material positive or adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial fines, civil or criminal penalties, and other expenditures.

We believe our balance sheet is positioned to support the potential future challenges presented by the macro-economic pressures we are facing. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $254 million, while debt, finance lease and other financing obligations were $492 million. Borrowings under our credit facility as of July 1, 2023 were $297 million, leaving $203 million of our revolving commitment of $500 million available for use as well as the ability to expand our revolving commitment to $750 million upon mutual agreement with our banks.

Interest expense could increase above current levels due to increased borrowing under our credit facility associated with working capital investments along with the impact of rising interest rates.

Table of Contents
During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, net sales in the Aerospace/Defense sector increased $65.0 million, or 18.3%, as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The increase was driven by overall net increased customer end-market demand, increased pricing associated with inflated component prices and a $9.6 million increase in production ramps for a new customer. The increase was partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease due to the discontinuation of a program with an existing customer.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended July 1, 2023 increased $40.3 million, or 4.5%, as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022, while cost of sales for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased $441.1 million, or 18.0%, as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. Cost of sales is comprised primarily of material and component costs, labor costs and overhead. For the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, approximately 89% to 90% of the total cost of sales was variable in nature and fluctuated with sales volumes. Of these amounts, approximately 87% to 88% of the variable costs for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, were related to material and component costs.
As compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022, the increase in cost of sales for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was primarily driven by the increase in net sales, an increase in fixed costs and increased labor costs, partially offset by a positive shift in customer mix. As compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022, the increase in cost of sales for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 was primarily driven by the increase in net sales, inflated component costs, an increase in fixed costs, increased labor costs and a negative shift in customer mix, partially offset by improvements in operational efficiencies.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 1, 2023 remained flat, as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. Gross margin of 9.2% for the three months ended July 1, 2023 decreased 30 basis points compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The primary drivers of the decrease in gross margin for the three months ended July 1, 2023 were the increase in fixed costs and increased labor costs, partially offset by a positive shift in customer mix.
Gross profit for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased $57.7 million, or 24.0%, as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. Gross margin of 9.3% for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased 40 basis points compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The primary drivers of the increase in gross profit and gross margin for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 were the increase in net sales and improvements in operational efficiencies, partially offset by inflated component costs, an increase in fixed costs, increased labor costs and a negative shift in customer mix.
Operating income. Operating income for the three months ended July 1, 2023 decreased $21.4 million, or 43.1%, as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. Operating margin of 2.8% for the three months ended July 1, 2023 decreased 230 basis points compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The primary driver of the decrease in operating income and operating margin for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was the result of a $23.1 million increase in restructuring and other charges along with the decrease in gross margin, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in selling and administrative expenses ("S&A"). The decrease in S&A was primarily due to a decrease in incentive compensation costs.
Operating income for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased $26.6 million, or 23.0%, as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. Operating margin of 4.5% for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased 20 basis points compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The primary driver of the increase in operating income and operating margin for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 was the result of the increase in gross profit and gross margin, partially offset by a $21.1 million increase in restructuring and other charges and a $10.0 million increase in S&A. The increase in S&A was primarily due to a net increase in compensation costs.

Table of Contents
During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, operating income in the AMER segment increased $32.6 million as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in net sales and improvements in operational efficiencies, partially offset by a negative shift in customer mix, increased fixed costs, increased labor costs, inflated component costs and an increase in S&A.
APAC. Operating income increased $2.6 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022, primarily as a result of a positive shift in customer mix, partially offset by a decrease in net sales, increased fixed costs and increased labor costs.
During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, operating income in the APAC segment increased $29.2 million as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in net sales and a positive shift in customer mix, partially offset by increased fixed costs, reduced operational efficiencies, increased labor costs, inflated component costs and an increase in S&A.
EMEA. Operating income decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022, primarily as a result of increased fixed costs and increased labor costs, partially offset by an increase in net sales.
During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, operating income in the EMEA segment decreased $2.0 million as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022, primarily as a result of a negative shift in customer mix, increased fixed costs and increased labor costs, partially offset by an increase in net sales.
Other expense. Other expense for the three months ended July 1, 2023 increased $4.5 million as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The increase in other expense for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was primarily due to the increase in interest expense of $4.3 million due to a higher average interest rate and the higher average daily borrowing levels.
Other expense for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased $13.4 million as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The increase in other expense was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense of $13.1 million due to a higher average interest rate and the higher average daily borrowing levels. The increase was also due to an increase in factoring fees of $4.7 million, partially offset by increases in other miscellaneous income of $3.3 million and interest income of $1.4 million.
Income taxes. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023 was $1.6 million and $15.8 million, respectively, compared to $5.8 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to July 2, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in discrete tax benefits of $3.0 million and a decrease in pre-tax book income. The increase for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to July 2, 2022 was primarily due to a change in the geographic distribution of pre-tax book income and an increase in pre-tax book income, partially offset by an increase in discrete tax benefits of $3.2 million.
Our annual effective tax rate varies from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the geographic distribution of worldwide earnings as well as a tax holiday granted to a subsidiary located in the APAC segment where we derive a significant portion of our earnings. Our effective tax rate may also be impacted by disputes with taxing authorities, tax planning activities, adjustments to uncertain tax positions and changes in valuation allowances.
The annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 is expected to be approximately 13.0% to 15.0% assuming no changes to tax laws.
Net income. Net income for the three months ended July 1, 2023 decreased $21.7 million, or 57.9%, from the three months ended July 2, 2022 to $15.8 million. Net income decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in operating income and an increase in other expense, partially offset by a decrease in tax expense, as previously discussed.
Net income for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 increased $11.0 million, or 12.5%, from the nine months ended July 2, 2022 to $98.8 million. Net income increased primarily as a result of the increase in operating income, partially offset by an increase in tax expense and other expense, as previously discussed.
Diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.56 for the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $1.33 for the three months ended July 2, 2022, primarily as a result of decreased net income due to the factors previously discussed, partially offset by a reduction in diluted shares outstanding due to repurchase activity under our share repurchase plans.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $3.51 for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 from $3.09 for the nine months ended July 2, 2022 primarily as a result of increased net income due to the factors previously discussed as well as a reduction in diluted shares outstanding due to repurchase activity under our share repurchase plans.

Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") and economic return. We use a financial model that is aligned with our business strategy and includes an ROIC goal of 15% which would exceed our weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") by more than 500 basis points and represent positive economic return. Economic return is the amount our ROIC exceeds our WACC.
Non-GAAP financial measures, including ROIC and economic return, are used for internal management goals and decision making because such measures provide management and investors additional insight into financial performance. In particular, we provide ROIC and economic return because we believe they offer insight into the metrics that are driving management decisions. We view ROIC and economic return as important measures in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of our long-term capital investments. We also use ROIC as a performance criteria in determining certain elements of compensation as well as economic return performance.
We define ROIC as tax-effected operating income before restructuring and other special items divided by average invested capital over a rolling four-quarter period for the third quarter. Invested capital is defined as equity plus debt and operating lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. Other companies may not define or calculate ROIC in the same way. ROIC and other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
We review our internal calculation of WACC annually. Our WACC is 9.0% for fiscal 2023 as compared to 9.3% for fiscal 2022. By exercising discipline to generate ROIC in excess of our WACC, our goal is to create value for our shareholders. For the nine months ended July 1, 2023, ROIC of 13.5% reflects an economic return of 4.5%, based on our weighted average cost of capital of 9.0%. For the nine months ended July 2, 2022, ROIC of 11.5% reflects an economic return of 2.2%, based on our weighted average cost of capital of 9.3% for that fiscal year.
For a reconciliation of ROIC, economic return and adjusted operating income (tax-effected) to our financial statements that were prepared using U.S. GAAP, see Exhibit 99.1 to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $253.6 million as of July 1, 2023, as compared to $275.5 million as of October 1, 2022.
As of July 1, 2023, 92% of our cash and cash equivalents balance was held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries. Currently, we believe that our cash balance, together with cash available under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and be sufficient to cover potential share repurchases, if any, for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.
Our future cash flows from operating activities will be reduced by $42.0 million due to cash payments for U.S. federal taxes on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings that are payable over an eight-year period that began in fiscal 2019 with the first payment. The table below provides the expected timing of these future cash outflows, in accordance with the following installment schedule for the remaining three years (in millions):

Cash used in investing activities (77.7) (85.1)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities (22.4) 122.1 

Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $76.0 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $25.8 million for the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The change was primarily due to cash flow improvements (reductions) of:

•$11.0 million increase in net income.
•$576.2 million in inventory cash flows driven by inventory levels increasing at a slower rate in the nine months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. In the nine months ended July 1, 2023, inventory levels have primarily increased to support the ramp of customer programs, as well as supply chain constraints have led to inflation in some of the components we acquire, increasing inventory.
•$139.8 million in accounts receivable cash flows driven by timing of shipments and mix of customer payment terms.
•$18.9 million in contract assets cash flows driven by increases in advance payments received from customers who recognize revenue over time.
•$12.3 million in other current and non-current assets driven by a lesser increase in prepayments to suppliers as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022.
•$(344.1) million in accounts payables cash outflows primarily driven by the timing of materials procurement and payments to suppliers.
•$(214.4) million in other current and non-current liabilities cash outflows driven by releases of advance payments to customers as we sold products that contained inflated component prices in the nine months ended July 1, 2023 compared to an increase in advanced payments from customers in the nine months ended July 2, 2022.
•$(91.8) million in customer deposit cash outflows driven by deposits increasing at a slower rate in the nine months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022, consistent with inventory cash flows. Deposit increases in both periods were primarily to cover certain inventory balances.

Days in inventory 161 160
Days in accounts payable (68) (87)
Days in cash deposits (57) (40)
Annualized cash cycle 111 102
We calculate days in accounts receivable and contract assets as each balance sheet item for the respective quarter divided by annualized sales for the respective quarter by day. We calculate days in inventory, accounts payable and cash deposits as each balance sheet line item for the respective quarter divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day. We calculate annualized cash cycle as the sum of days in accounts receivable, days in contract assets and days in inventory, less days in accounts payable and days in cash deposits.
As of July 1, 2023, annualized cash cycle days increased nine days compared to July 2, 2022 due to the following:
Days in accounts receivable for the three months ended July 1, 2023 increased six days compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to mix of customer payment terms and the timing of customer shipments and payments.
Days in contract assets for the three months ended July 1, 2023 remained flat compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022.
Days in inventory for the three months ended July 1, 2023 increased one day compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to increased inventory levels to support the ramp of customer programs.
Days in accounts payable for the three months ended July 1, 2023 decreased nineteen days compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to timing of materials procurement and payments to suppliers.
Days in cash deposits for the three months ended July 1, 2023 increased seventeen days compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to significant deposits received from customers to cover certain increasing inventory balances.
Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow ("FCF"), a non-GAAP financial measure, as cash flow provided by (used in) operations less capital expenditures. FCF was $(3.8) million for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 compared to $(110.8) million for the nine months ended July 2, 2022, an improvement of $107.0 million. The improvement in FCF was primarily due to lower working capital investments in inventory to support our customers in the nine months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022.
Non-GAAP financial measures, including FCF, are used for internal management assessments because such measures provide additional insight to investors into ongoing financial performance. In particular, we provide FCF because we believe it offers insight into the metrics that are driving management decisions. We view FCF as an important financial metric as it demonstrates our ability to generate cash and can allow us to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. FCF is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

A reconciliation of FCF to our financial statements that were prepared using U.S. GAAP as follows (in millions):
Nine Months Ended
July 1,
2023		 July 2,
2022
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities $ 76.0  $ (25.8)
Payments for property, plant and equipment (79.8) (85.0)
Free cash flow $ (3.8) $ (110.8)
Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing activities were $77.7 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 compared to $85.1 million for the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was due to a $5.2 million decrease in capital expenditures, as the manufacturing footprint expansion in Bangkok, Thailand has been substantially completed.
We estimate capital expenditures for fiscal 2023 will be approximately $115.0 million to $125.0 million to support new program ramps and replace older equipment.
Financing Activities. Cash flows used in financing activities were $22.4 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $122.1 million for the nine months ended July 2, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lesser increase in borrowings on the credit facility in the nine months ended July 1, 2023 of $34.0 million as compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022 of $185.0 million and a decrease of $9.5 million in cash used to repurchase our common stock.
On August 11, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock (the "2022 Program"). The 2022 Program commenced upon completion of the 2021 Program and was completed in fiscal 2022. During the three months ended July 2, 2022, we repurchased 148,571 shares under this program for $11.7 million at an average price of $79.27 per share. During the nine months ended July 2, 2022, we repurchased 564,718 shares under this program for $46.9 million at an average price of $83.07 per share.
On August 18, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock (the "2023 Program"). The 2023 Program became effective immediately and has no expiration. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we repurchased 149,783 shares under this program for $13.5 million at an average price of $90.49 per share. During the nine months ended July 1, 2023, we repurchased 391,145 shares under this program for $37.4 million at an average price of $95.70 per share. As of July 1, 2023, $9.1 million of the 2023 Program remained available to repurchase shares.
All shares repurchased under the aforementioned programs were recorded as treasury stock.
We have Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements with MUFG Bank, New York Branch (formerly known as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.) (the "MUFG RPA"), HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited, Xiamen branch (the "HSBC RPA") and other unaffiliated financial institutions, under which we may elect to sell receivables, at a discount. These facilities are uncommitted facilities. The maximum facility amount under the MUFG RPA as of July 1, 2023 was $340.0 million. The maximum facility amount under the HSBC RPA as of July 1, 2023 was $60.0 million. The MUFG RPA will be automatically extended each year unless any party gives no less than 10 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended. The terms of the HSBC RPA are generally consistent with the terms of the MUFG RPA previously discussed.
We sold $205.3 million and $213.6 million of trade accounts receivable under these programs, or their predecessors, during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, in exchange for cash proceeds of $202.9 million and $212.3 million, respectively. We sold $616.6 million and $563.8 million of trade accounts receivable under these programs, or their predecessors, during the nine months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, in exchange for cash proceeds of $609.4 million and $561.3 million, respectively. As of July 1, 2023 and October 1, 2022, $216.8 million and $222.5 million, respectively, of accounts receivables sold under trade accounts receivable programs and subject to servicing by us remained outstanding and had not yet been collected.
In all cases, the sale discount was recorded within "Miscellaneous, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period of the sale. For further information regarding the receivable sale programs, see Note 13, "Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs," in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Based on current expectations, we believe that our projected cash flows provided by operations, available cash and cash equivalents, our leasing capabilities and potential borrowings under our 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (referred to as the "Credit Facility"), including our ability to expand our revolving commitment, should be sufficient to meet our working capital and fixed capital requirements, as well as execution upon our share repurchase authorizations as management deems appropriate, for the next twelve months and for the forseeable future.

Table of Contents
We believe our balance sheet is positioned to support the potential future challenges presented by macro-economic factors including increased working capital requirements associated with our sales growth. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $253.6 million, while debt, finance lease and other financing obligations were $492.2 million. If our future financing needs increase, including to support additional capital expenditures or investments in the growth of our business, then we may need to arrange additional debt or equity financing. Accordingly, we evaluate and consider from time to time various financing alternatives to supplement our existing financial resources. However, we cannot be assured that we will be able to make any such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, there were no material changes.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation," in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding recent accounting pronouncements. 

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from changes in foreign exchange and interest rates from those disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our international operations create potential foreign exchange risk. Our policy is to selectively hedge our foreign currency denominated transactions in a manner that partially offsets the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We typically use foreign currency contracts to hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Corresponding gains and losses on the underlying transaction generally offset the gains and losses on these foreign currency hedges. We cannot predict changes in currency rates, nor the degree to which we will be able to manage the impacts of currency exchange rate changes. Such changes could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our percentages of transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for the indicated periods were as follows: 
Three Months Ended
  July 1,
2023		 July 2,
2022
Net Sales 9% 9%
Total Costs 16% 15%
We have evaluated the potential foreign currency exchange rate risk on transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for the periods presented above. Based on our overall currency exposure, as of July 1, 2023, a 10.0% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to our other transactional currencies would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Interest Rate Risk
We have financial instruments, including cash equivalents and debt, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while maximizing yields without significantly increasing market risk. To achieve this, we limit the amount of principal exposure to any one issuer.
As of July 1, 2023, our only material interest rate risk was associated with our Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at (a)(1) for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars, the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), (2) for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling, the Daily Simple Risk-Free Rate, plus, in each case of (a)(1) and (2), 10 basis points, (b) for borrowings denominated in euros, the EURIBOR Rate plus a statutory reserve rate, or (c) an Alternate Base Rate equal to the highest of (i) 100 basis points per annum, (ii) the prime rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal (or, if not quoted, as otherwise provided in the Credit Facility), (iii) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day plus, in each case, 50 basis points per annum (or, if neither are available, as otherwise provided in the Credit Facility), and (iv) Term SOFR for a one month interest period on such day plus 110 basis points, plus, in each case of (a), (b), and (c), an applicable interest rate margin based on the Company's then current consolidated total indebtedness (minus certain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in an amount not to exceed $100 million) to consolidated EBITDA. As of July 1, 2023, the borrowing rate under the Credit Facility was SOFR plus 1.10%. Borrowings under the 2018 Note Purchase Agreement are based on a fixed interest rate, thus mitigating much of our interest rate risk. Based on our overall interest rate exposure, as of July 1, 2023, a 10.0% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information the Company must disclose in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have reviewed and evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, (a) in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, and (b) in assuring that information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
