Risks, Forward-Looking Statements and non-GAAP
Disclaimers
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. securities laws, including statements related to our future financial results and our guidance for future financial performance (including expected
revenues, operating income, margins and earnings per share). These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions involving risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual
outcomes and results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These risks include: that we may not
achieve our expected future operating results, including revenue and margins; the effects that the current and future macroeconomic environment, including inflation, slower growth or recession, higher interest rates, a potential
U.S. federal government shutdown, and currency exchange rate fluctuations, could have on our business and demand for our products; the impact of component shortages, fluctuations in the pricing or availability of raw
materials, labor and energy, and logistical constraints, including their impact on our revenues and margins; the uncertainty of our ability to complete the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of February 7, 2023, by and among Flex Ltd. ("Flex"), Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker"), Yuma, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flex, and Yuma Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextracker, and the
transactions related thereto (collectively, the "Transactions"), which are subject to numerous conditions that may not be satisfied or waived, and the failure of any such Transactions to qualify as tax-free under the relevant
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; uncertainties and risks relating to our ability to achieve some or all of the intended or anticipated benefits of Nextracker being a separate, publicly-traded company, which could
negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations; risks associated with acquisitions and divestitures, including the possibility that we may not fully realize their projected benefits; geopolitical risk,
including the termination and renegotiation of international trade agreements and trade policies, including the impact of tariffs and related regulatory actions; the war in Ukraine and escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia which could lead to disruption, instability, and volatility in global markets and negatively impact our operations and financial performance;
uncertainties relating to the Israel-Hamas war including escalating geopolitical tensions as a result thereof which could negatively impact our operations and financial performance; the effects that current and future credit and
market conditions could have on the liquidity and financial condition of our customers and suppliers, including any impact on their ability to meet their contractual obligations to us and our ability to pass through costs to our
customers; the challenges of effectively managing our operations, including our ability to control costs and manage changes in our operations; hiring and retaining key personnel; litigation and regulatory investigations and
proceedings; our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; changes in laws, regulations, or policies that may impact our business, including those related to climate change; the possibility that benefits of the
Company's restructuring actions may not materialize as expected; that the expected revenue and margins from recently launched programs may not be realized; our dependence on industries that continually produce
technologically advanced products with short product life cycles; the short-term nature of our customers' commitments and rapid changes in demand may cause supply chain issues, excess and obsolete inventory, and other
issues which adversely affect our operating results; our dependence on a small number of customers; our industry is extremely competitive; we may be exposed to financially troubled customers or suppliers; the success of certain
of our activities depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be exposed to claims of infringement or breach of license agreements; a breach of our IT or physical security systems, or violation of
data privacy laws, may cause us to incur significant legal and financial exposure and disrupt our operations; physical and operational risks from natural disasters, severe weather events, or climate change; our ability to meet
environmental, social and governance expectations or standards or achieve sustainability goals; we may be exposed to product liability and product warranty liability; that recently proposed changes or future changes in tax
laws in certain jurisdictions where we operate could materially impact our tax expense; and the impact and effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition of a public health issue, including a pandemic, or
catastrophic event.
Additional information concerning these, and other risks is described under "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and in subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the registration statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed by Flex or Nextracker, as applicable,
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the Transactions. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on current expectations and Flex assumes no obligation to update
these forward-looking statements. Our share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.
Please refer to the appendix section of this presentation for reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. If this presentation references historical non-GAAP financial
measures, these measures are located on the "Investor Relations" section of our website, www.flex.com along with the required reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Certain forward-looking non-
GAAP financial measures are not reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures as the reconciling information is not available without an unreasonable effort.
