SEGMENT REPORTING
No other country accounted for more than 10% of property and equipment, net for the periods presented in the table above.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") who evaluates how we allocate resources, assess performance and make strategic and operational decisions. Based on such evaluation and the information provided to the CODM, the Company determined as of and for the period ended March 31, 2026, that Flex has three operating and reportable segments. See note 1 "Organization of the Company" for further details on the segment change that took place in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.
The ITS segment is optimized for speed to market based on a highly flexible supply and manufacturing system. ITS is comprised of the following end markets that represent reporting units:
•Communications, high speed networking, enterprise, and satellite communications systems
•Lifestyle, premium products across commercial, home and personal product categories
The RMS segment is optimized for longer product lifecycles requiring complex ramps with specialized production models. RMS is comprised of the following end markets that represent reporting units:
•Industrial, mission-critical automation, energy, and industrial infrastructure
•Automotive, compute and power electronics platforms, and integrated systems
•Healthcare, regulated manufacturing for medical devices, drug delivery and equipment
The CPI segment is a global provider of power and cooling products and integrated rack-scale compute systems serving digital infrastructure and industrial applications. CPI is comprised of the following end markets that represent reporting units:
•Cloud and Cooling, integrated compute systems supporting power‑dense digital infrastructure deployments, and advanced liquid cooling solutions supporting higher-density, power-intensive rack architectures
•Power, utility and facility‑level electrical infrastructure enabling reliable, scalable power delivery and high-density rack- and board-level power systems supporting power-intensive compute workloads
The determination of the separate operating and reporting segments is based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics.
An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. The CODM compares actual segment income to budgeted financial performance in allocating resources and assessing segment performance. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, certain restructuring charges, customer-related asset impairment charges or recoveries, legal and other, interest expense, interest income, other charges (income), net, and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. A portion of depreciation is allocated to the respective segments, together with other general corporate, research and development and administrative expenses.
Selected financial information by segment is in the tables below.

(1)Certain restructuring charges of $3 million are excluded from the reconciling amount of $135 million as they are included within segment income.
(2)Customer-related asset impairments 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 fiscal year 2026, the Company recovered approximately $2 million of prior year customer-related asset impairments.
(3)Legal and other consists of costs not directly related to core business results including matters relating to commercial disputes, government regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, antitrust, tax, employment or shareholder issues, product liability claims and other issues on a global basis as well as acquisition related costs and asset impairment.

The Company provides an overall platform of assets and services, which the segments utilize for the benefit of their various customers. The shared assets and services are contained within the Company's global manufacturing and design operations and include manufacturing and design facilities. Most of the underlying manufacturing and design assets are co-mingled in the operating campuses and are compatible to operate across segments and highly interchangeable throughout the platform. Given the highly interchangeable nature of the assets, they are not separately identified by segment nor reported by segment to the Company's CODM.
Property and equipment on a segment basis is not separately identified and is not internally reported by segment to the Company's CODM as described above. During fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, total depreciation expense, including amounts allocated to the reportable segments and Corporate and Other, was as follows:

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
