ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

SANMINA-SCI UPDATES QUARTERLY GUIDANCE

SAN JOSE, Calif. — July 17, 2006 — Sanmina-SCI Corporation (Nasdaq NM: SANM, “the Company”), announced today that it expects its fiscal third quarter 2006 revenue to be $2.71 billion versus previously provided guidance of $2.7 to $2.8 billion, and said that the Company now expects non-GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $0.06 to $0.07 versus previously provided guidance of $0.08 to $0.10 and prior quarter non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.06.

The shortfall in the Company’s financial results for the third quarter are attributed to a less favorable product mix, less than expected profitability in the computing business, and slower than anticipated improvement in the  enclosure business.

“While we are disappointed that our financial results for the fiscal third quarter fell short of our expectations, we believe we have taken the steps necessary to improve on our execution. The market conditions continue to improve and we feel that our short and long-term business model remains intact,” stated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jure Sola.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

In computing non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude charges or gains relating to: stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs (including employee severance and benefits costs and charges related to excess facilities and assets), integration costs (consisting of costs associated with the integration of acquired businesses into our operations), impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets, extraordinary gains or losses, non-cash interest and amortization expense and other infrequent or unusual items, to the extent material, which we consider to be of a non-operational nature in the applicable period.

We have furnished these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors in that they eliminate certain financial items that are of a non-recurring, unusual or infrequent nature or are not related to the Company’s regular, ongoing business.  Our management also uses this information internally for forecasting, budgeting and other analytical purposes.  Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to analyze the core financial and operating performance of our Company and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of operating trends.

 

Sanmina-SCI provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent uncertainties associated with forecasting the timing and amount of restructuring, impairment and other unusual and infrequent items.

 

The non-GAAP financial information presented in this release may vary from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  In addition, non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP
