ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On November 16, 2006, Sanmina-SCI Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing Non-GAAP Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2006. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: gross margin, operating margin, and earnings (loss) per share. In computing each of these non-GAAP financial measures, including those presented in the attached financial statements, we exclude charges or gains relating to: stock-based compensation expense, 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), amortization of intangible assets, impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, costs associated with the Company’s stock option investigation, non-cash interest 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 the Company and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of operating trends.

We provide 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.

ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(d)   Exhibits.

 

The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.  In addition, the information in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
