FLEXTRONICS ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT IN BECKMAN COULTER LAWSUIT

Singapore, November 26, 2003 – Flextronics International Ltd. (NASDAQ: FLEX) today announced that a full settlement has been reached in the Beckman Coulter lawsuit. The settlement includes an agreement whereby Flextronics will pay $23 million to Beckman to completely resolve this matter.

“Although the settlement remains larger than we believe the law would have allowed, it relieves the company of the significant burden and distraction that the original verdict imposed,” stated Michael E. Marks, Chief Executive Officer of Flextronics.

The settlement will result in Flextronics recognizing an unusual charge of approximately 3 cents per diluted share in the December quarter for the amount of the settlement in excess of its previous accrual of approximately $8 million for this matter.
