Items to be Included in this Report

 
Item 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
On October 25, 2004, Flextronics International Ltd. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

    The press release includes non-GAAP operating results. Non-GAAP operating results are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP operating results should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating results to GAAP operating results in the Schedules of the attached press release.

    Management uses non-GAAP operating results as a performance measure and furnishes the information in order to provide investors with additional information to analyze the Company's operating results and facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP operating results exclude after-tax intangibles amoritization, restructuring and other charges. Management uses non-GAAP operating results as a measure of enterprise-wide performance. The Company reports non-GAAP operating results to provide its investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on what the Company believes to be its core business operations. In addition, since the Company has historically reported non-GAAP operating results to the investment community, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting.
