Strategic Rationale and Operational Evolution

• Management is spinning off the Cloud and Power Infrastructure (CPI) segment to unlock value by separating a high-growth, specialized data center business from the diversified advanced manufacturing core.

• The decision is driven by a shift in AI data center architecture where power and thermal management must be engineered as a unified system rather than individual subsystems.

• The acquisition of EP2 strengthens the power portfolio with utility-grade solutions, positioning the company to address grid modernization and the increasing power demands of hyperscalers.

• Flex is transitioning from a fragmented multi-vendor approach to providing integrated 'grid-to-chip' solutions, encompassing power distribution, thermal cooling, and compute integration.

• Post-spin, Flex will focus on higher-margin, regulated markets including healthcare, robotics, and warehouse automation, leveraging its global manufacturing scale.

• The company is currently 'booked out' in terms of capacity and backlog for the next couple of years, necessitating elevated capital investment through fiscal 2027.

Growth Targets and Investment Framework

• SpinCo is targeting massive revenue growth of 65% to 75% in fiscal 2027, with further acceleration to over 80% in fiscal 2028.

• Management expects CPI margins to recoup 100 basis points in fiscal 2027 as they grow into recent infrastructure investments, with another 50 to 100 basis points of expansion in fiscal 2028.

• Capital expenditures are expected to peak at $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion in fiscal 2027 to support new hyperscaler contracts before normalizing in fiscal 2028.

• The 'RemainCo' Flex targets low to mid-single-digit revenue growth while prioritizing high-quality earnings and cash generation through portfolio optimization.

• The spin-off transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of calendar 2027, with stand-alone financials to be provided in upcoming quarters.

Structural Changes and Risk Factors

• The company introduced a new three-segment reporting structure: Regulated Manufacturing Solutions (RMS), Integrated Technology Solutions (ITS), and Cloud and Power Infrastructure (CPI).

• A multiyear contract with Google was highlighted as a foundational driver for the significant step-up in CPI growth and capital deployment.

• Management noted persistent softness in consumer-related 'lifestyle' markets, leading to a deliberate deemphasis and exit from low-value segments.

• The Investor Day originally planned for the spring has been postponed to the fall to provide more clarity on the spin-off details.
