SCHEDULE V

FLEX AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO SCHEDULES I and II

To supplement Flex's unaudited selected financial data presented consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges and gains, including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude certain legal and other charges, restructuring charges, customer-related asset impairments (recoveries), stock-based compensation expense, 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 Flex's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Flex's 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 Company's performance.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of the Company's operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to the Company's 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, management's incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude certain items described below from consideration of the target's 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 Company's GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's ongoing operating results;
the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analysis;
a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and
an easier way to compare the Company's operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

We present forward‑looking non‑GAAP financial measures in our fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 guidance, including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted income tax rate, and adjusted EPS. We do not provide a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because the information necessary to do so is not available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent variability, complexity, and uncertainty in forecasting certain items required for such a reconciliation. These items may include restructuring charges and impairment charges, among others. The information that is unavailable could be material and could significantly affect our GAAP results.

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 unvested restricted share units 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.

Restructuring and impairment charges include severance charges at existing sites and corporate SG&A functions as well as asset impairment, and other charges related to the closures and consolidations of certain operating sites and targeted activities to restructure the business. These costs also include asset impairment charges related to assets significantly impacted by the geopolitical events on the basis of management's best estimate of the recoverable value of assets. These costs may vary in size based on the Company's initiatives, are not directly related to ongoing or core business results, and do not reflect expected future operating expenses. These costs are excluded by the Company's management in assessing current operating performance and forecasting its earnings trends and are therefore excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures.

During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $4 million and $37 million of restructuring charges, respectively, most of which related to employee severance. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $12 million and $54 million of restructuring charges, respectively, most of which related to employee severance.

During the three and nine-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $5 million and $46 million, respectively, in asset impairments, inventory write-downs and other charges as a result of an August 21, 2025 missile strike on the Company's Mukachevo, Ukraine operations located in Western Ukraine. The August 21, 2025 missile strike represents an unusual and infrequent event as hostilities related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have been primarily focused in Eastern Ukraine. The missile strike caused substantial destruction, disrupted Mukachevo's normal operations and Flex initiated contingency manufacturing plans at alternative manufacturing facilities. The Company expects additional immaterial near-term inefficiencies as Mukachevo's operations are restored.

Customer related asset impairments (recoveries) may consist of non-cash impairments of property and equipment to estimated fair value for customers from whom we have disengaged or are in the process of disengaging as well as additional provisions for doubtful accounts receivable for customers that are experiencing financial difficulties and inventory that is considered non-recoverable that is written down to net realizable value. In subsequent periods, the Company may recover a portion of the costs previously incurred related to assets impaired or reduced to net realizable value. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $2 million of customer related asset recoveries. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $2 million of customer related asset recoveries. These costs are excluded by the Company's management in assessing current operating performance and forecasting its earnings trends and are therefore excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures.

Legal and other consist primarily of costs not directly related to core business results and may include matters relating to commercial disputes, government regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, antitrust, tax, employment or shareholder issues, product liability claims and other costs such as acquisition and portfolio optimization related costs and asset impairment. These costs are excluded by the Company's management in assessing current operating performance and forecasting its earnings trends and are therefore excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $12 million and $27 million, respectively, related to other costs. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company accrued for a $5 million asset impairment where losses were considered probable and estimable.

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates consists of various other types of items that are not directly related to ongoing or core business results, such as significant gains or losses associated with certain non-core investments. The Company excludes these items because they are not related to the Company's ongoing operating performance or do not affect core operations. Excluding these amounts provides investors with a basis to compare Company performance against the performance of other companies without this variability. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $25 million of equity in losses from a reduced valuation of a certain non-core investment fund. No such event occurred in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024.

Interest and other, net consist of various other types of items that are not directly related to ongoing or core business results, such as the gain or losses related to certain divestitures, currency translation reserve write-offs upon liquidation of certain legal entities, debt extinguishment costs and impairment charges or gains associated with certain non-core investments. The Company excludes these items because they are not related to the Company's ongoing operating performance or do not affect core operations. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $21 million and $18 million, respectively, predominantly related to an impairment of a non-core unconsolidated cost method investment. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $6 million and $5 million, respectively. Excluding these amounts provides investors with a basis to compare Company performance against the performance of other companies without this variability.

Adjustments 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 or other non-recurring tax charges, when applicable. Effective in fiscal year 2026, the Company adopted an annual normalized tax rate for the purpose of determining the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. In estimating the normalized tax rate, the Company utilizes a full-year projection of earnings that considers the mix of earnings across tax jurisdictions, existing tax positions and other significant tax matters.

During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $5 million and $41 million net tax benefit, respectively, and during the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $30 million and $50 million net tax benefit, respectively, related to the tax effects of various adjustments. For the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred a charge to income tax expense of $19 million related to the resolution of a tax dispute with a foreign tax authority related to fiscal years 2010 through 2020. For the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $26 million of interest recoverable on prior periods taxes paid by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries.

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, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. The Company's free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities, less net purchases of property and equipment and proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment ("net capital expenditures"), allowing us to present free cash flow on a consistent basis for investors.

During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $275 million and $848 million of free cash inflow, respectively. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $306 million and $757 million of free cash inflow, respectively. Free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner.
