PLEXUS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND APRIL 2, 2011
Unaudited
NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Plexus Corp. and its subsidiaries (together Plexus, the Company, or we) without audit and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of the Company, 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 March 31, 2012 and October 1, 2011, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, and the cash flows for the same six month periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SECs 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 Companys 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Companys reportable segments consist of the Americas (AMER) segment, Asia-Pacific (APAC) segment and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) segment. Refer to Note 10 for further details on reportable segments.
Revision of prior period financial statements
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company revised its previously issued financial statements as a result of a correction to classification of upfront payments made for land use rights in certain foreign countries. See Note 16, Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements for further discussion of these revisions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company holds financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, derivatives, and capital lease obligations. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivatives, and capital lease obligations as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair value. Accounts receivable were reflected at net realizable value based on anticipated losses due to potentially uncollectible balances. Anticipated losses were based on managements analysis of historical losses and changes in customers credit status. The fair value of the Companys long-term debt was $267.6 million and $274.3 million as of March 31, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. The carrying value of the Companys long-term debt was $265.0 million and $272.5 million as of March 31, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. The Company uses quoted market prices when available or discounted cash flows to calculate the fair value of its debt. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as described below. Refer to Note 6 for further details on derivatives.
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 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:
6
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.
NOTE 2BUSINESS COMBINATION
In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Plexus and Kontron AG (Kontron) entered into a strategic manufacturing arrangement, and completed the related asset purchase transaction described below. Under this arrangement, Kontron will transition all manufacturing of its Kontron Design Manufacturing Services (M) Sdn. Bhd. subsidiary (KDMS) located in Penang, Malaysia to Plexus facilities in Penang. Plexus acquired the inventory and equipment of KDMS for a purchase price of $35.2 million, which has been paid with cash on-hand, and hired substantially all of KDMSs employees. No real estate was included in this transaction. This transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price was allocated primarily to inventory and equipment. An identifiable intangible asset related to a customer relationship was recorded within other non-current assets in the Companys accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the arrangement and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a two year period. The purchase price is subject to customary adjustments based on the amount of certain working capital in the acquired operations at closing. Under this arrangement, Kontron also committed to approximately $100 million of incremental revenue annually for two years. The effects of this transaction are being recorded from and after its January 18, 2012 closing date. The purchase price allocation may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuations of the fair value of assets acquired. Assuming this transaction had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.
NOTE 3INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. The stated cost is comprised of direct materials, labor, and overhead. The major classes of inventories, net of applicable lower of cost or market write-downs, were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5DEBT
On April 4, 2008, the Company entered into its Credit Facility with a group of banks which allows the Company to borrow $150 million in term loans and $100 million in revolving loans. The $150 million in term loans was immediately funded and the $100 million revolving credit facility is currently available. The Credit Facility is unsecured and may be increased by an additional $100 million to a total of $200 million (the accordion feature). This is possible if the Company has not previously terminated all or any portion of the Credit Facility, there is no event of default existing under the credit agreement and both the Company and the administrative agent consent to the increase. The Credit Facility expires on April 4, 2013.
During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012, the Company repaid $3.75 million each quarter of term loans outstanding on its Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has term loan borrowings of $90.0 million outstanding and no revolving borrowings under the Credit Facility.
During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2011, the Company repaid $3.75 million each quarter of term loans outstanding on its Credit Facility. As of April 2, 2011, the Company had term loan borrowings of $105.0 million outstanding and no revolving borrowings under the Credit Facility.
On April 21, 2011, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors related to $175 million in principal amount of 5.20% Senior Notes, due on June 15, 2018 (the Notes). The Company issued $100 million in principal amount of the Notes on April 21, 2011, and the remaining $75 million on June 15, 2011. The Company has $175 million principal of Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2012.
NOTE 6DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
All derivatives are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (a fair value hedge), a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge), or a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation. The Company currently has cash flow hedges related to variable rate debt and foreign currency obligations. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows.
The Companys Mexican operations are parties to forward exchange contracts with a total notional value of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2012. These forward contracts will fix the exchange rates on foreign currency cash used to pay a portion of local currency expenses. The total fair value of these forward contracts was a $0.1 million liability as of March 31, 2012 and a $1.0 million liability as of October 1, 2011.
8
During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts to fix the exchange rates on foreign currency cash used to pay for capital expenditures related to the construction of the Companys fourth facility in Malaysia; all contracts were settled as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The total fair value of these forward contracts was a $0.1 million liability as of October 1, 2011.
The Companys Malaysian operations have also entered into forward exchange contracts on a rolling basis with a total notional value of $49.5 million as of March 31, 2012. These forward contracts will fix the exchange rates on foreign currency cash used to pay a portion of local currency expenses. The total fair value of these forward contracts was a $0.3 million asset as of March 31, 2012 and a $1.5 million liability as of October 1, 2011.
During the fiscal second quarter of 2011, the Company entered into two separate treasury rate lock hedge contracts to hedge the variability of the fixed interest rate on the then-forecasted issuance of $175 million of fixed rate debt using a treasury lock transaction. The two contracts had a combined notional amount of $150 million and the fixed interest rates for each of these contracts are 2.77% and 2.72%, respectively. On April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a final treasury rate lock hedge transaction for the remaining $25 million of exposure at a rate of 2.88%. On April 8, 2011, when the fixed interest rate for the debt issuance was determined, all three treasury rate lock contracts were settled and the Company received proceeds of $2.3 million, which is being amortized over the seven year term of the related debt.
In June 2008, the Company entered into three interest rate swap contracts related to the $150 million in term loans under the Credit Facility that had an initial total notional value of $150 million and mature on April 4, 2013. These interest rate swap contracts pay the Company variable interest at the three month LIBOR rate, and the Company pays the counterparties a fixed interest rate. The fixed interest rates for each of these contracts are 4.415%, 4.490% and 4.435%, respectively. These interest rate swap contracts were entered into to convert $150 million of the variable rate term loan under the Credit Facility into fixed rate debt. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and the underlying debt, these interest rate contracts were determined to be effective, and thus qualify as a cash flow hedge. As such, any changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The total fair value of these interest rate swap contracts was a $3.4 million liability as of March 31, 2012 and a $5.2 million liability as of October 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the total remaining combined notional amount of the Companys three interest rate swaps was $90.0 million.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights for approximately 1.0 million and 1.2 million shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options and stock-settled SARs exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, restricted stock units (RSUs) of approximately 22,000 and 94,000 units, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended April 2, 2011, stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights for approximately 1.3 million and 1.2 million shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options and stock-settled SARs exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive. For three and six month periods ended April 2, 2011 none of the RSUs outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect.
11
NOTE 8STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognized $3.7 million and $6.4 million of compensation expense associated with stock-based awards for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and $3.1 million and $5.5 million for the three and six months ended April 2, 2011, respectively.
The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock-settled SARs. The Company uses the fair value at the date of grant to value RSUs and unrestricted stock awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the stock-based awards vesting period.
NOTE 9INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 was $2.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 were 11 and 10 percent, respectively. As demonstrated in recent quarters, the Companys tax rate can vary during the year based on the mix of forecasted earnings by tax jurisdiction. The Company currently benefits from reduced taxes in the APAC segment due to tax holidays in Penang, Malaysia and Xiamen, China.
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended April 2, 2011 was $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for both the three and six months ended April 2, 2011 were 3 percent.
As of March 31, 2012, there was no material change in the amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions as compared to the fiscal 2011 year end. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The amount of interest and penalties recorded for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011 was not material.
It is reasonably possible that a number of uncertain tax positions related to federal and state tax positions may be settled within the next 12 months. The Company is currently under examination by taxing authorities in the U.S. for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 and is not undergoing any tax examinations in any of its major foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. examination may be resolved within the next twelve months, but at this time it is not possible to estimate the amount of the effects of any changes to the previously recorded uncertain tax positions.
The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, there was no material change in the valuation allowance as compared to the fiscal year ended October 1, 2011. Despite losses in fiscal years 2009-2011 in the U.S. tax jurisdiction, the Companys U.S. operations generated income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. Based on the weight of all the evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its U.S. net deferred tax assets and no valuation allowance is warranted. However, if the Companys U.S. operations cannot sustain forecasted profitability, there may be a need to provide a valuation allowance on the Companys net U.S. deferred tax assets.
NOTE 10BUSINESS SEGMENT AND MAJOR CUSTOMER INFORMATION
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 Companys resources on a regional basis. Net sales for segments are attributed to the region in which the product is manufactured or 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 segments performance is evaluated based upon its operating income (loss). A segments operating income (loss) includes its net sales less cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses, but excludes corporate and other costs, interest expense, other income (loss), and income taxes. Corporate and other
12
costs primarily represent corporate selling and administrative expenses, and restructuring and impairment costs, 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 arms length transactions. The accounting policies for the regions are the same as for the Company taken as a whole.
Information about the Companys three reportable segments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 11GUARANTEES
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys workmanship and meet mutually agreed-upon specifications for periods generally ranging from 12 months to 24 months. If a product fails to comply with the Companys limited warranty, the Companys obligation is generally limited to correcting, at its expense, any defect by repairing or replacing such defective product. The Companys warranty generally excludes defects resulting from faulty customer-supplied components, design defects or damage caused by any party or cause other than the Company.
The Company provides for 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 Companys accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in other current accrued liabilities. The primary factors that affect the Companys 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 Companys limited warranty liability for fiscal 2011 and for the six months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

NOTE 12LITIGATION
In fiscal 2010, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million of costs relating to non-conforming inventory received from a supplier. The Company reached a settlement with the supplier during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for $0.9 million, which was received and recorded in selling and administrative expenses in fiscal 2011.
The Company is party to certain other lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 13CONTINGENCIES
We were notified in April 2009 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of its intention to conduct a customary Focused Assessment of our import activities during fiscal 2008 and of our processes and procedures to comply with U.S. Customs laws and regulations. During September 2010, the Company reported errors relating to import trade activity from July 2004 to the date of Plexus report. CBP has indicated that on-site fieldwork for the audit was completed as of June 2011, and the Company is currently awaiting final determination of CBP duties and fees. Plexus has agreed that it will implement improved processes and procedures and review these corrective measures with CBP. We recorded an accrual in other current accrued liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 when the amount became estimable and probable, which was not material to the financial statements. At this time, we do not believe that any deficiencies in processes or controls or unanticipated costs, unpaid duties or penalties associated with this matter will have a material adverse effect on Plexus or the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 14SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
During the three and six months ended April 2, 2011, the Company had repurchased 2.7 million shares for approximately $83.4 million, at an average price of $30.57 per share.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, no share repurchases were completed by the Company.
NOTE 15NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amended standard requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to comprehensive income guidance, which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income (OCI) and its components in the statement of shareholders equity. The Company can elect to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement would include the components of net income, and the second statement would include the components of OCI. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
NOTE 16REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company identified prior period errors in its consolidated financial statements related to the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows classification of upfront payments made for land use rights. Specifically, the Company had historically accounted for the upfront payments for the land use rights as capital leases within property, plant and equipment and as investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has determined that the upfront payments made for land use rights should have been reflected as an operating lease within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and as operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There was no impact of the error corrections on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In evaluating whether the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements were materially misstated, the Company considered the guidance
15
in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, Assessing Materiality, and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-2, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. The Company concluded these errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to any of the prior reporting periods. The impact of these corrections to the applicable prior periods are reflected in the financial information herein and will be reflected in future filings containing affected financial information. The impact of these revisions on the financial statements included in the Companys 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and previously filed 2012 and 2011 Form 10-Qs is described below. In addition, footnotes impacted by the above error will also be revised in future filings.
Revisions to the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a decrease in property, plant and equipment and an increase to other long-term assets in the amounts of $17.6 million, $17.7 million, and $14.8 million as of December 31, 2011, October 1, 2011, and October 2, 2010, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company made upfront payments for land use rights in the amount of $9.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively. These payments were classified as capital expenditures within investing activities in the consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal 2010 and 2011 and each quarterly period in fiscal 2011, respectively. The classification of these payments has been corrected to properly reflect these amounts as operating cash outflows rather than investing cash outflows in the financial information included herein and will be corrected in the relevant periods in future filings. There will also be inconsequential revisions to depreciation and change in prepaid expense and other within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in future filings. The revised totals for operating cash flows and investing cash flows are $158.5 million and $(68.7) million for fiscal 2011, $(7.6) million and $(64.8) million for fiscal 2010, and $(24.3) million and $(10.0) million, $48.4 million and $(24.2) million, and $64.0 million and $(42.1) million during the three, six, and nine months ended for fiscal 2011, respectively.

We provide most of our contract manufacturing services on a turnkey basis, procuring some or all of the materials required for product assembly. We also provide some services on a consignment basis. In these cases, the customers supply the necessary materials, and we provide the labor and other services required for product assembly. Turnkey services require material procurement and warehousing, in addition to manufacturing, and involve greater resource investments than consignment services. Other than certain test equipment and software used for internal operations, we do not design or manufacture our own proprietary products.
As discussed in Results of Operations below, we are substantially dependent on our largest customers. Our revenue from these customers may vary from time to time depending on the size and timing of customer program commencements, terminations, delays, modifications and transitions. We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Because customers forecasts can and do change as a result of changes in their end-market demand and other factors, including global economic conditions, they may, at any time, materially change the type and volume of manufacturing services required. In addition, as our percentage of net sales to customers in a specific sector becomes larger relative to other sectors, we will become increasingly dependent upon the economic and business conditions affecting that sector.
In response to the evolving markets and to better reflect our customers end-markets, we decided to combine our Wireline/Networking and Wireless Infrastructure market sectors and rename them as our Networking/Communications market sector, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. As a result, we have conformed all prior period market sector presentations to be consistent with our current market sectors.

Net sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our net sales increase of 1.0 percent over the prior year period was the result of higher net sales in the industrial/commercial and defense/security/aerospace market sectors. The overall sales increase is due to the ramp of The Coca-Cola Company (Coca-Cola), incremental revenue from the previously announced Kontron strategic arrangement (the Kontron arrangement), improved end-market
18
demand from existing customers, and the addition of new customers in the industrial/commercial and defense/security/aerospace market sectors. These increases in net sales were partially offset by decreased sales in the networking/communications market sector due to lower end-market demand, the prior year disengagement of a customer in that sector as a result of acquisition, and a decrease in sales in the medical sector primarily as a result of a completed program. Net sales to our largest customer, Juniper Networks, Inc. (Juniper) decreased as a result of lower end-market demand for the mix of Juniper products we produce.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, our net sales decrease of 2.7 percent as compared to the prior year was the result of lower end-market demand in the networking/communications and medical market sectors along with two prior year customer disengagements from the networking/communications market sector as a result of acquisition. These decreases were partially offset by the net sales increases described above.
Our net sales by market sector for the indicated periods were as follows (in millions):

Networking/Communications. Net sales for the networking/communications sector decreased $56.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011. The decline in the sector was a result of the impact from the prior year disengagement of a significant customer as a result of acquisition, end-market trends reflecting global economic uncertainty and a decrease in net sales to Juniper as described above.
Net sales for the networking/communications sector decreased $118.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended April 2, 2011. The decline in the sector was a result of the same factors noted above for the three-month period along with the impact of one other prior year customer disengagement as a result of acquisition.
Industrial/Commercial. Net sales for the industrial/commercial sector increased $65.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the ramp of Coca-Cola, incremental revenue related to the Kontron arrangement, and the addition of a new customer in this market sector.
Net sales for the industrial/commercial sector increased $83.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended April 2, 2011. The increase in the sector was a result of the same factors noted above for the three-month period.
Medical. Net sales for the medical sector decreased $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of a significant engineering design and services program with a customer.
Net sales for the medical sector decreased $14.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended April 2, 2011. The decrease was due to slightly lower overall end-market demand in the sector.
Defense/Security/Aerospace. Net sales for the defense/security/aerospace sector increased $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011. The increase was primarily due to new program ramps with an existing customer and a program ramp for a new customer.
Net sales for the defense/security/aerospace sector increased $19.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended April 2, 2011. The increase in the sector was a result of the same factors noted above for the three-month period.

No other customers accounted for 10 percent or more of net sales in either period.
The increase in the top ten customers is primarily driven by the ramp of Coca-Cola partially offset by the effect of decreased sales to Juniper as a portion of our business. Although we expect the majority of our top 10 customers to grow in fiscal 2012, we also anticipate that the percentage of our overall sales to these customers will be lower in full-year fiscal 2012 and more consistent with prior years, assuming our overall net sales increase. Because the majority of our net sales come from a relatively small number of customers and a limited number of market sectors, if we lose any of these customers or if there are issues in those market sectors, our net sales and operating results could decline significantly.
Gross profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit decreased $0.9 million compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011 primarily due to unfavorable changes in customer mix partly due to the ramp of new programs that are inherently less profitable in their early stages, increased fixed costs related to increased capacity investments, and transition costs for the Kontron arrangement. As a result of the decrease in gross profit and slight increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, gross margin declined to 9.5 percent compared to 9.8 percent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit decreased $4.1 million compared to the six months ended April 2, 2011 primarily due to decreased net sales, increased costs related to increased capacity investments, and transition costs for the Kontron arrangement. These decreases were partially offset by approximately $0.9 million of lower variable compensation expense and a favorable outcome of inventory disposition related to a prior year customer disengagement, which had a $1.5 million positive effect. As a result of the decrease in gross profit and net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, gross margin declined to 9.6 percent compared to 9.7 percent.
Operating income. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, operating income decreased $0.6 million compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011. The operating income decrease reflected the $0.9 million decline in gross profit described above, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in selling and administrative expenses (S&A). As a result of the factors discussed above for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, operating margin declined to 4.5 percent compared to 4.6 percent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, operating income decreased $4.8 million compared to the six months ended April 2, 2011. The operating income decrease reflected a $4.1 million decline in gross profit described above, and a $0.7 million increase in S&A. The dollar increase in S&A as compared to the prior year was due primarily to the effect of a favorable non-recurring litigation settlement during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (see Note 12 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), increased personnel expense of $0.8 million and increased stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.8 million, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in lower variable compensation expense. As a result of the factors discussed above for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, operating margin declined to 4.5 percent compared to 4.8 percent.
20
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) increased to $3.4 million and $7.5 million of expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, from $1.8 million and $3.9 million of expense, respectively, in the prior year periods. The increases in expense were primarily due to increased interest expense related to the $175 million of borrowings under the Note Purchase Agreement that the Company entered into during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Income taxes. Effective annual income tax rates for the indicated periods were as follows:
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
March 31, 2012 |

March 31, 2012 |
April 2, 2011 |
|||||||||||||
Effective annual tax rate |
11 | % | 3 | % | 10 | % | 3 | % |
Income tax expense increased to $2.4 million and $4.2 million as a result of the increase in our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three and six months ended April 2, 2011. These rates primarily vary from the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent as a result of the amount of earnings from different U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and tax holidays granted to our subsidiaries in China and Malaysia, where a significant portion of our earnings are derived from. The effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 is higher than the effective rate for the three and six months ended April 2, 2011 primarily as a result of increased profitability in the U.S. tax jurisdiction. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future depending on the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings.
We increased the estimated annual effective tax rate for all of fiscal 2012 to 10 percent primarily due to geographical shift in income as described above.
Net income. Primarily as a result of lower gross margins and increases in other and income tax expense, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $3.9 million, or 16.3 percent, to $20.0 million from the three months ended April 2, 2011, and net income for the six months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $11.1 million, or 22.7 percent, to $37.8 million from the six months ended April 2, 2011.
Diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.56 and $1.07 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, from $0.59 and $1.19, respectively, in the prior year periods. The decreases in diluted earnings per share were primarily due to the decreases in net income previously noted, partially offset by the effect of a decrease in diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31, 2012 as a result of our share repurchases completed in fiscal 2011.
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). We use a 5-10-5 financial model which is aligned with our business strategy, and includes a goal of an ROIC of 500 basis points over our weighted average cost of capital (WACC), a 10 percent gross margin target and a 5 percent operating margin target. Our primary focus is our ROIC goal, which is designed to create shareholder value and generate enough cash to self-fund our targeted organic revenue growth rate of 15 percent.
We review our internal calculation of WACC annually, and our estimated WACC is 12.5% for fiscal 2012. By exercising discipline to generate an ROIC in excess of our WACC, our goal is to create value for our shareholders. ROIC was 14.4 percent and 16.8 percent for six months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, respectively. This decrease was due to lower annualized operating income and an increase in the effective tax rate.
We define ROIC as tax-effected annualized operating income divided by average invested capital over a rolling three-quarter period for the second quarter. Invested capital is defined as equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Other companies may not define or calculate ROIC in the same way. ROIC is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
21
Non-GAAP financial measures, including ROIC, are used for internal management assessments because such measures provide additional insight into ongoing financial performance. In particular, we provide ROIC because we believe it offers insight into the metrics that are driving management decisions. We view ROIC as an important measure in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of our long-term capital requirements. We also use ROIC as a performance criteria in determining certain elements of compensation.
For a reconciliation of ROIC to our financial statements that were prepared using GAAP, see exhibit 99.1 to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

Americas (AMER): Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $0.7 million, or 0.2 percent, due to the completion of a significant engineering design and services program with a medical market sector customer and lower end-market demand from several customers primarily in the networking/communications sector, partially offset by the ramp of Coca-Cola and a new customer in the industrial/commercial market sector. Net sales to Juniper decreased compared to the prior year period due to lower end-market demand for the mix of Juniper products we produce. Operating income for the current year period increased as a result of favorable changes in customer mix.
Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $23.8 million, or 3.5 percent, due to a prior year customer disengagement as a result of an acquisition, lower end-market demand from existing customers primarily in the networking/communications and medical market sectors, partially offset by the ramp of Coca-Cola and a new customer in the industrial/commercial market sector. Net sales to Juniper increased compared to the prior year period due to new product launches in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Despite the sales reduction, operating income for the current year period increased due to favorable customer mix and the favorable outcome of an inventory disposition related to a prior year customer disengagement, which had a $1.5 million positive effect.
Asia Pacific (APAC): Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $4.2 million, or 1.6 percent, primarily due to lower end-market demand from existing customers, primarily in our networking/communications and industrial/commercial sectors, as well as the prior year disengagement of a customer in the networking/communications sector. This decrease was partially offset by incremental revenue from the Kontron arrangement and increased net sales to a defense/security/aerospace market sector customer. Net sales to Juniper decreased as a result of lower end-market demand for the mix of Juniper products we produce. Operating income in the current year period decreased due to increased fixed expenses as a result of continued capacity investments, as well as unfavorable changes in customer mix and transition costs for the Kontron arrangement.
22
Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $42.1 million, or 7.8 percent, primarily as a result of the same factors noted above for the three-month period. Operating income in the current year period decreased as a result of the net sales decline, higher fixed expenses related to continued capacity investment, and transition costs for the Kontron arrangement.
Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA): Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $3.5 million, or 14.4 percent, due primarily to three new customers in the industrial/commercial, defense/aerospace/security and medical market sectors, partially offset by decreased net sales to an industrial/commercial market sector customer. Operating income in the current year period increased $0.2 million as compared to the prior year period due to continued growth from our Romania facility, partially offset by decreased net sales from our United Kingdom facility.
Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2012 increased $2.9 million, or 6.5 percent, due primarily to the same factors noted above for the three-month period. Operating loss in the current year period increased $0.4 million as compared to the prior year period due to a net sales decrease from our UK facility, partially offset by continued growth from our Romania facility.
For our significant customers, we generally manufacture product in more than one location. For example, net sales to Juniper, our largest customer, occur in the AMER and APAC segments. See Note 10 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for certain financial information regarding our reportable segments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents were $257.8 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $242.1 million at October 1, 2011. The increase in the balance of our cash and cash equivalents compared to fiscal 2011 was due primarily to cash generated from operations, partially offset by cash used for the Kontron arrangement, capital expenditures and payments on debt.
As of March 31, 2012, approximately 60 percent of our cash balance was held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries. Certain foreign countries impose taxes and overall penalties on transfers of cash; however our intent is to permanently reinvest funds held in these countries. If this cash were remitted to the U.S., additional tax obligations may result that would reduce the amount of cash ultimately available to us in the U.S. Currently, we believe that cash held in the U.S., together with cash available under U.S. credit facilities and cash from foreign subsidiaries that could be remitted to the U.S. without tax consequences, will be sufficient to meet our U.S. liquidity needs for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

We calculate days in accounts receivable as accounts receivable 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.
Days in accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by two days compared to the period ended April 2, 2011 primarily due to the timing of revenue during the quarter, as shipments were more concentrated towards the end of the quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, and negotiated accelerated payments from certain customers received in the prior year. This increase was partially offset by favorable changes in customer terms for a significant customer.
Days in inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by two days, compared to the period ended April 2, 2011 due to our efforts to actively manage inventory levels down with the assistance of our customers, while continuing to meet our customers needs for flexibility and agility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, days in accounts payable increased by four days compared to the period ended April 2, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the timing of supplier payments and the result of purchases late in the quarter to support higher expected revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, days in cash deposits increased one day compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011. The slight increase in days is due to our continued efforts to mitigate inventory risk through the collection of cash deposits from our customers, which are classified as customer deposits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We calculate annualized cash cycle as the sum of days in accounts receivable and days in inventory, less days in accounts payable and days in cash deposits. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012 annualized cash cycle days decreased by 5 days compared to the three months ended April 2, 2011 due to the factors noted above.
Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow (FCF), which we define as cash flow provided by (used in) operations less capital expenditures, was positive for the six months ended March 31, 2012, at $49.1 million, compared to FCF of $23.4 for the six months ended April 2, 2011. Better management of working capital partially offset by higher capital expenditures in the six-month period led to this improvement.
Non-GAAP financial measures, including FCF, are used for internal management assessments because such measures provide additional insight 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 allows us to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value.

Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $65.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $24.2 million for the six months ended April 2, 2011. Cash flows used in investing activities increased primarily due to the Kontron arrangement and increased capital expenditures for continued capacity investments in Penang, Malaysia and Xiamen, China, partially offset by the sale of long term investments in the six months ended March 31, 2012.
We utilized available cash and operating cash flows as the sources for funding our operating requirements. We currently estimate capital expenditures for fiscal 2012 to be approximately $75-85 million of which $32.9 million of expenditures were made through the second quarter of fiscal 2012. A significant portion of the remaining fiscal 2012 capital expenditures is anticipated to be used for the completion of our facility in Xiamen, China, and the construction of a larger facility in Oradea, Romania to replace leased buildings. We believe the estimated capital expenditures will continue to be funded from operations, and may be supplemented by short-term borrowings, if required.
Financing Activities. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $89.5 million for the six months ended April 2, 2011. Cash flows used in financing activities decreased primarily due to the share repurchases completed in the prior year and increased stock exercises for the six months ended March 31, 2012.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement) for $175 million in principal amount of 5.20% Senior Notes, due June 15, 2018 (the Notes). We issued $100 million in principal amount of the Notes on April 21, 2011, and the remaining $75 million on June 15, 2011. As of March 31, 2012 we had notes outstanding of $175.0 million.
During fiscal 2008, we entered into our credit agreement (the Credit Facility) with a group of banks under which we borrowed $150 million in term loans and provides for a revolving credit facility in the amount of $100 million. The Credit Facility is unsecured and may be increased by an additional $100 million to a total of $200 million (the accordion feature). This is possible if we have not previously terminated all or any portion of the Credit Facility, there is no event of default existing under the credit agreement and both we and the administrative agent consent to the increase. The Credit Facility expires on April 4, 2013 with a final balloon repayment of $75.0 million. As of March 31, 2012, we had term loan borrowings of $90.0 million outstanding and no revolving borrowings under the Credit Facility.
We are currently in the process of refinancing the Credit Facility, which is expected to be completed within the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Although market conditions or our banking relationships cannot be guaranteed, we expect that we will be able to complete the refinancing on acceptable terms within this time period.
The Credit Facility and Note Purchase Agreement contain certain financial covenants, which include a maximum total leverage ratio, maximum value of fixed rentals and operating lease obligations, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum net worth test, all as defined in the agreements. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
The Credit Facility and Note Purchase Agreement allow for the future payment of cash dividends or the future repurchases of shares provided that no event of default (including any failure to comply with a financial covenant) exists at the time of, or would be caused by, the dividend payment or the share repurchases. We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not currently anticipate paying them in the future. However, we evaluate from time to time potential uses of excess cash, which in the future may include share repurchases, a special dividend or recurring dividends.
25
Based on current expectations, we believe that our projected cash flows from operations, available cash and cash equivalents, the Credit Facility, and our leasing capabilities should be sufficient to meet our working capital and fixed capital requirements for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. Further, $100 million of committed credit is currently available under the Credit Facility, with another $100 million available in an accordion facility, which is contingent upon compliance with the Credit Agreement and lender approval. If our future financing needs increase, 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 financial resources. However, particularly due to the current uncertainty of the credit and financial markets, we cannot be assured that we will be able to make any such arrangements on acceptable terms.
There have been no material changes since the filing of the Companys fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except a commitment regarding the construction of a larger facility in Oradea, Romania to replace leased buildings that served as our start-up solution in lower-cost Europe. The other long-term obligations not on the balance sheet related to this construction commitment are approximately $10.0 million and $14.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
DISCLOSURE ABOUT CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our accounting policies are disclosed in our 2011 annual report on Form 10-K. During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012, there were no material changes to these policies.
See Note 15 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding new accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange and interest rates. We selectively use financial instruments to reduce such risks.
Foreign Currency Risk
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. 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. Our international operations create potential foreign exchange risk. Our percentages of transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for the indicated periods were as follows:

Net sales |
5 | % | 6 | % | 5 | % | 5 | % | ||||||||
Total costs |
15 | % | 14 | % | 13 | % | 13 | % |
The Company has 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 the Companys overall currency exposure, as of March 31, 2012, a 10 percent change in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to our other transactional currencies would not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Interest Rate Risk
We have financial instruments, including cash equivalents, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. We consider the use of interest-rate swaps based on existing market conditions and have entered into interest rate swaps for $90.0 million in term loans, as described in Note 6 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As with any agreement of this type, our interest rate swap agreements are subject to the further risk that the counterparties to these agreements may fail to comply with their obligations thereunder.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while maximizing yields without significantly increasing market risk. To achieve this, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of highly rated securities, money market funds and certificates of deposit, and limit the amount of principal exposure to any one issuer.
Our only material interest rate risk is associated with our Credit Facility under which we borrowed $150 million. Through the use of interest rate swaps, as described above, we have fixed the basis on which we pay interest, and the borrowings under the Note Purchase Agreement are based on a fixed interest rate, thus eliminating much of our interest rate risk.
27
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 Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated, with the participation of the Companys management, the Companys 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 (the Evaluation Date). Based on such evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective (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 Companys management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, there have been no changes to the Companys 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls: Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on the effectiveness of controls, we have nonetheless reached the conclusion that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
28
ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We were notified in April 2009 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of its intention to conduct a customary Focused Assessment of our import activities during fiscal 2008 and of our processes and procedures to comply with U.S. Customs laws and regulations. During September 2010, the Company reported errors relating to import trade activity from July 2004 to the date of Plexus report. CBP has indicated that on-site fieldwork for the audit was completed as of June 2011, and the Company is currently awaiting final determination of CBP duties and fees. Plexus has agreed that it will implement improved processes and procedures and review these corrective measures with CBP. We recorded an accrual in other current accrued liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 when the amount became estimable and probable, which was not material to the financial statements. At this time, we do not believe that any deficiencies in processes or controls or unanticipated costs, unpaid duties or penalties associated with this matter will have a material adverse effect on Plexus or our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is a party to certain other lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
