Raises Fiscal 2026 Outlook

Today, Jabil Inc. (NYSE:JBL), reported preliminary, unaudited financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights:

Net revenue: $8.3 billion
U.S. GAAP operating income: $374 million
U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share: $2.08
Core operating income (Non-GAAP): $436 million
Core diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP): $2.69

"Jabil delivered a very strong second quarter, with results ahead of our expectations across revenue, core operating margin, and core EPS," said CEO Mike Dastoor. "Our better-than-expected performance in the quarter was broad-based, reflecting the strength of our diversified portfolio and was led by continued momentum in Intelligent Infrastructure, where demand remains robust across cloud and data center infrastructure, networking and communications, and capital equipment. We also saw encouraging improvement in Regulated Industries, with automotive and renewables performing better than we anticipated earlier in the year."

"Given the strength of our second-quarter results and increasing confidence in the back half of the year, we are raising our fiscal 2026 outlook for revenue and core EPS. As we move ahead, we remain focused on profitable growth, disciplined execution, margin expansion, strong cash generation, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders," he added.

Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook:

• Net revenue		• $8.1 billion to $8.9 billion
• U.S. GAAP operating income		• $398 million to $458 million
• U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share		• $2.36 to $2.76 per diluted share
• Core operating income (Non-GAAP)⁽¹⁾		• $452 million to $512 million
• Core diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP)⁽¹⁾		• $2.83 to $3.23 per diluted share

⁽¹⁾

Core operating income and core diluted earnings per share exclude anticipated adjustments of $24 million for amortization of intangibles (or $0.20 per diluted share) and $24 million for stock-based compensation expense and related charges (or $0.22 per diluted share) and $6 million (or $0.05 per diluted share) for restructuring, severance and related charges.

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook:

• Net revenue	$34 billion
• Core operating margin (Non-GAAP)	5.7%
• Core diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP)	$12.25 per diluted share
• Adjusted free cash flow (Non-GAAP)	$1.3+ billion

(Definitions: "U.S. GAAP" means U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Jabil defines core operating income as U.S. GAAP operating income less amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related charges, distressed customer charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, (gain) loss from the divestiture of businesses, acquisition and divestiture related charges, plus other components of net periodic benefit cost. Jabil defines core earnings as core operating income, less loss on debt extinguishment, loss (gain) on securities, other components of net periodic benefit cost, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations and certain other expenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax valuation allowance charges. Jabil defines core diluted earnings per share as core earnings divided by the weighted average number of outstanding diluted shares as determined under U.S. GAAP. Jabil defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net capital expenditures (acquisition of property, plant and equipment less proceeds and advances from sale of property, plant and equipment). Jabil reports core operating income, core earnings, core diluted earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow to provide investors an additional method for assessing operating income, earnings, diluted earnings per share and free cash flow from what it believes are its core manufacturing operations. See the accompanying reconciliation of Jabil's core operating income to its U.S. GAAP operating income, its calculation of core earnings and core diluted earnings per share to its U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per share and additional information in the supplemental information.)

Forward Looking Statements: This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding our anticipated financial results for our second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and our guidance for future financial performance in our third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (including, net revenue, U.S. GAAP operating income, U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share, core operating income (Non-GAAP), core diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) results and the components thereof, including but not limited to amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges and restructuring, severance and related charges); and our full year 2026 (including net revenue, core operating margin (Non-GAAP), core diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP), the components thereof and adjusted free cash flow (Non-GAAP)). The statements in this release are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions involving risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from our current expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to: our determination as we finalize our financial results for our second quarter of fiscal year 2026 that our financial results and conditions differ from our current preliminary unaudited numbers set forth herein; scheduling production, managing growth and capital expenditures and maximizing the efficiency of our manufacturing capacity effectively; managing rapid declines or increases in customer demand and other related customer challenges that may occur; our dependence on a limited number of customers; our ability to purchase components efficiently and reliance on a limited number of suppliers for critical components; risks arising from relationships with emerging companies; changes in technology and competition in our industry; our ability to introduce new business models or programs requiring implementation of new competencies; competition; transportation issues; our ability to maintain our engineering, technological and manufacturing expertise; retaining key personnel; risks associated with international sales and operations, including geopolitical uncertainties; energy price increases or shortages; our ability to achieve expected profitability from acquisitions; risk arising from our restructuring activities; issues involving our information systems, including security issues; regulatory risks (including the expense of complying, or failing to comply, with applicable regulations; risk arising from design or manufacturing defects; risk arising from compliance, or failure to comply, with environmental, health and safety laws or regulations; risk arising from litigation; and intellectual property risk); financial risks (including customers or suppliers who become financially troubled; turmoil in financial markets; tax risks; credit rating risks; risks of exposure to debt; currency fluctuations; and asset impairment); changes in financial accounting standards or policies; risk of natural disaster, climate change or other global events; and risks arising from expectations relating to environmental, social and governance considerations. Additional factors that could cause such differences can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Supplemental Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Jabil provides supplemental, non-GAAP financial measures in this release to facilitate evaluation of Jabil's core operating performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain amounts that are included in the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, do not have standard meanings and may vary from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Management believes these "core" financial measures are useful measures that facilitate evaluation of the past and future performance of Jabil's ongoing operations on a comparable basis.

Jabil reports core operating income, core earnings, core diluted earnings per share and adjusted free cash flows to provide investors an additional method for assessing operating income, earnings, earnings per share and free cash flow from what it believes are its core manufacturing operations. Among other uses, management uses non-GAAP financial measures to make operating decisions, assess business performance and as a factor in determining certain employee performance when determining incentive compensation.

The Company determines an annual normalized tax rate ("normalized core tax rate") for the computation of the non-GAAP (core) income tax provision to provide better consistency across reporting periods. In estimating the normalized core tax rate annually, the Company utilizes a full-year financial projection of core earnings that considers the mix of earnings across tax jurisdictions, existing tax positions, and other significant tax matters. The Company may adjust the normalized core tax rate during the year for material impacts from new tax legislation or material changes to the Company's operations.

Detailed definitions of certain of the core financial measures are included above under "Definitions" and a reconciliation of the disclosed core financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is included under the heading "Supplemental Data" at the end of this release.
