First Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results of Operations
Net sales for the first quarter ended July 01, 2016 were approximately $5.9 billion, which was at the high end of the guidance range of $5.5 to $5.9 billion.
GAAP income before income taxes was $117 million for the quarter and adjusted operating income was $190 million, at the mid-point of the guidance range of $175 million to $205 million.
GAAP gross margin increased approximately 60 basis points and adjusted gross margin increased over 50 basis points on a year-over-year basis.
Net income on a GAAP basis was $106 million and adjusted net income for the quarter was $149 million. GAAP EPS was $0.19 for the quarter which is flat compared to the prior year. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.27 for the quarter, increasing $0.04 from same quarter last year.
We continue to successfully execute our Sketch-to-Scale strategy said Mike McNamara, chief executive officer of Flex. Our first quarter results reflect our continued portfolio evolution with a 20% growth in adjusted operating profit, an increase of 17% in adjusted earnings, strong cash flow from operations and over seven million shares repurchased.
Guidance
For the second quarter ending September 30, 2016, revenue is expected to be in the range of $5.8 to $6.2 billion, GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.18 to $0.22 and includes estimated intangible amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.26 to $0.30 per diluted share.

SCHEDULE V
FLEX AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SCHEDULES I, II, III, & IV
(1) To supplement Flexs unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, intangible amortization, other discrete events as applicable and the related tax effects. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Flexs results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Flexs results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Companys performance.
In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of the Companys operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to the Companys ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, for calculating return on investment, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, managements incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude certain of the items described below from consideration of the targets performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results through the eyes of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Companys GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
· the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Companys on-going operating results;
· the ability to better identify trends in the Companys underlying business and perform related trend analyses;
· a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Companys underlying business; and
· an easier way to compare the Companys operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of stock options and unvested restricted share unit awards granted to employees and assumed in business acquisitions. The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of its operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on its operating results.
Intangible amortization consists primarily of non-cash charges that can be impacted by, among other things, the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and
therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.
Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effects of the various adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income and certain adjustments related to non-recurring settlements of tax contingencies when applicable.
For the three-month period ended July 1, 2016, Free Cash Flow was $121 million consisting of GAAP net cash flows from operating activities of $264 million less purchases of property and equipment net of proceeds from dispositions of $143 million. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions and for certain other activities. Since Free Cash Flow includes investments in operating assets, we believe this non-GAAP liquidity measure is useful in addition to the most directly comparable GAAP measure net cash flows provided by operating activities.
