As of the quarter ended July 3, 2009, the cumulative charges of the restructuring plans were $215 million comprised of $128 million in cash and $87 million in non-cash charges. The remaining charges are expected to be incurred over the course of fiscal year 2010.

Also during the quarter ended July 3, 2009, Flextronics further strengthened its capital structure by repurchasing an aggregate principal amount of $100 million of its 6.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and an aggregate principal amount of $100 million of its 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 and secured a consent to modify certain modifications of the indentures for both notes.
"Flextronics exhibited strong execution and achieved our objectives for the quarter," said Mike McNamara, chief executive officer of Flextronics. "We have worked quickly to adapt to current market conditions and strategically position the Company for improving profitability. While stabilization of demand has improved, we expect a muted economic recovery in the near term. We will continue to focus on what we can control and influence, and believe that our vision, strategy and execution are producing results."
"Our execution around restructuring and other discretionary spend control was excellent this quarter, and our operating margins benefited from our efforts in this area," said Paul Read, chief financial officer of Flextronics. "In addition, we further reduced inventory by $325 million, achieved a cash cycle of 19 days, generated free cash flow of $68 million, and strengthened our capital structure through our senior debt reduction of $200 million. We remain focused on positively impacting all areas within our control."

For the second quarter ending October 2, 2009, revenue is expected to be in the range of $5.2 billion to $6.0 billion and adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.11 per share.
