CLS 10-K Annual Reports

Celestica Inc. reported a strong financial performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with revenue reaching $12.4 billion, a significant 28% increase year-over-year.

This was attributed to strong revenue growth, improved operating leverage, and a favorable business mix. Net earnings more than doubled to $832.5 million, resulting in a diluted EPS of $7.16, a substantial increase from $3.61 in 2024. The company also continued its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases.

Celestica Inc. (CLS) reported a strong financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2024, with a significant increase in revenue and net earnings. The company's revenue grew by 21% year-over-year, primarily driven by a substantial 40% increase in the Connectivity and Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment, largely attributed to growth in its Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) business and strong demand in the Communications end market from hyperscaler customers.

Celestica continues to invest in its HPS business and design capabilities, aiming for long-term growth. The company also repurchased shares under its normal course issuer bid and maintained a healthy free cash flow, demonstrating a commitment to returning capital to shareholders while investing in future growth. The transition to U.S. GAAP accounting standards was completed, with no material impact on overall financial results. Key risks remain, including dependence on a limited number of large customers and potential impacts from global economic and geopolitical uncertainties. However, the company's strategic focus on high-value markets and expanding service offerings, coupled with operational efficiencies, positions it for continued performance.

The company also highlights its commitment to operational efficiency, talent development, and sustainability initiatives, underscoring a proactive approach to navigating the dynamic industry landscape. Key risks identified include customer concentration, global economic uncertainty, and supply chain volatility, which the company actively manages. The company's financial health appears solid, with healthy cash flow from operations supporting investments and shareholder returns.

Celestica Inc.'s (CLS) 2021 10-K filing reveals a company navigating a dynamic market with a focus on strategic shifts. The company delivered a mixed financial performance, with revenue declining slightly year-over-year due to the disengagement from a major customer in the Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment. However, the Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment demonstrated strong growth, driven by its HealthTech and Capital Equipment businesses, and the acquisition of PCI. Despite revenue headwinds in CCS, segment margins improved due to a more favorable product mix, notably the growth of the Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) business. Celestica remains committed to expanding its higher-margin ATS segment and diversifying its customer base, aiming for profitable growth through organic initiatives and targeted acquisitions. The company continues to manage supply chain constraints, a significant factor impacting operations throughout 2021, and anticipates these pressures to persist into 2022.

Celestica Inc.'s 2020 Form 20-F filing highlights a challenging year marked by revenue decline, primarily impacted by COVID-19 related disruptions and ongoing strategic portfolio adjustments, including the disengagement from Cisco Systems. The company reported a 2% decrease in revenue to $5.75 billion for 2020 compared to 2019. Net earnings saw a significant drop to $60.6 million, down from $70.3 million in 2019, reflecting these pressures. Despite the revenue contraction and increased restructuring charges, Celestica focused on improving operational efficiencies and expanding its higher-margin Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) business within the Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment, which saw revenue growth. The Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment experienced a revenue decline, largely due to impacts on the commercial aerospace and industrial sectors from the pandemic. The company's balance sheet remains solid with $463.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and efforts to manage debt and capital allocation are ongoing.

Celestica Inc.'s 2019 Form 10-K filing highlights a challenging year marked by an 11% decrease in revenue to $5.9 billion, primarily driven by a significant 19% decline in the Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment due to planned program disengagements, including the notable "Cisco Disengagement." This strategic portfolio review within CCS, aimed at addressing underperforming programs and aligning with strategic objectives, is expected to result in a substantial annualized revenue decline of $1.25 billion once fully implemented. Conversely, the Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment demonstrated resilience with a 3% revenue increase, bolstered by growth in Aerospace & Defense, Industrial, and Healthtech businesses, though this was partially offset by a downturn in the capital equipment sector. The company incurred significant restructuring charges totaling $37.9 million in 2019, with an additional $30 million anticipated in 2020 primarily related to the Cisco Disengagement. Despite the revenue headwinds and restructuring costs, Celestica's gross margin remained stable at 6.5%, supported by a more favorable program mix in CCS and productivity improvements, which offset weaker performance in ATS, including operating losses in the capital equipment business. The company generated strong operating cash flow of $345.0 million in 2019, a significant improvement from the previous year, and ended the year with $479.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. Looking ahead, Celestica anticipates further revenue declines in 2020 but expects an increase in non-IFRS operating margin and adjusted earnings per share due to ongoing cost actions and resource reallocation.

This filing is an Amendment No. 1 to Celestica Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018. The amendment primarily addresses administrative corrections, including updating executive office addresses, correcting a file number in the exhibit index, and replacing specific exhibits (4.24, 4.31, 4.32) to reflect changes in rules for redacting confidential information in material contracts. Importantly, this amendment does not alter the substantive financial information or disclosures presented in the original filing from March 11, 2019, and does not reflect any events occurring after that date. Investors should note that the core financial and operational data remains as originally reported.

Celestica Inc.'s 2018 Form 10-K filing reveals a company navigating a complex operational landscape with a focus on evolving its revenue portfolio and improving profitability. While revenue grew by 8% to $6.6 billion, driven by both its Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) and Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segments, net earnings declined by 6% to $98.9 million. This decline was attributed to a rise in "other charges," which included significant restructuring costs related to a cost efficiency initiative (CEI) and transition costs for relocating its Toronto operations, along with higher finance costs. The company highlighted ongoing challenges within its CCS segment, including persistent pricing pressures and technology shifts, leading to a portfolio review intended to disengage from underperforming programs. This review is projected to reduce CCS segment revenue by approximately $500 million over the next 12-18 months. Concurrently, Celestica is focusing on expanding its ATS segment, which generally offers higher margins and longer product life cycles, through strategic acquisitions like Atrenne and Impakt. The company is also actively managing its debt, having increased borrowings under its credit facility primarily to fund these acquisitions.

Celestica Inc.'s 2017 Form 10-K details a year of mixed performance, with revenue increasing slightly to $6.11 billion, but net earnings decreasing to $105.0 million from $136.3 million in 2016. This decline was attributed to unfavorable changes in program mix, increased pricing pressures, and higher ramping costs, particularly impacting the Communications and Enterprise segments, which together represented 68% of revenue. The company is actively pursuing a strategy to diversify its revenue streams by growing its Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment, which includes aerospace and defense, industrial, and healthcare. A key step in this direction is the announced acquisition of Atrenne Integrated Solutions, Inc., expected to close in Q2 2018. Celestica is also undergoing a cost efficiency initiative, including workforce reductions and potential site consolidations, expected to incur significant restructuring charges through mid-2019 but aimed at improving future operating margins.

Celestica Inc.'s 2016 10-K filing reveals a year of revenue growth driven primarily by the Communications and Diversified segments. The company saw a 7% increase in revenue to $6.0 billion, with the Communications segment up 12% and Diversified up 11%. However, the Consumer segment declined by 16% due to program completions, and the Servers segment decreased by 11% due to customer demand softness. The company exited its solar panel manufacturing business in Q4 2016, incurring restructuring and impairment charges of $21 million to facilitate this move. Net earnings improved significantly to $136.3 million, up from $66.9 million in 2015, partly due to a $34 million income tax recovery related to the resolution of Canadian tax matters and related interest income. Despite revenue growth, the company highlighted persistent risks including customer concentration, with its top 10 customers representing 68% of revenue. The competitive EMS industry and aggressive pricing dynamics remain key challenges. Celestica is focused on diversifying its customer and product portfolios, enhancing value-added services, and improving operational performance through initiatives like GBS and OD to drive long-term shareholder value.

Celestica Inc.'s 2015 10-K filing reveals a company navigating a challenging environment. While revenue remained relatively flat year-over-year at $5.6 billion, net earnings declined significantly to $66.9 million from $108.2 million in 2014, impacted by increased restructuring charges and impairments, particularly in its semiconductor and solar businesses. The company faced higher operational costs, including those related to ramping up its solar operations in Asia, which experienced delays and inefficiencies. Customer concentration remains a key risk, with the top 10 customers accounting for 67% of revenue. Celestica is focused on evolving its customer and product portfolios, improving operational performance, and increasing investments in higher-value services to drive growth. A significant event in 2015 was the launch of a substantial issuer bid where the company repurchased approximately 26.3 million subordinate voting shares for $350 million, financed partly by new debt, impacting its liquidity and financial flexibility.

Celestica Inc. reported a revenue of $5.63 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014, a slight decrease from the previous year, primarily driven by weaker demand in the Communications and Server segments, as well as the company's strategic decision to de-emphasize lower-margin business in its Consumer portfolio. Despite the revenue decline, gross profit and gross margin saw an improvement due to cost containment efforts and a more favorable program mix. Net earnings, however, were impacted by a $40.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the semiconductor business and a $6.4 million pension plan settlement loss, which more than offset the operational improvements. The company's financial position remained strong with $565.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and a healthy non-IFRS free cash flow of $177.4 million for the year. Celestica continued its share repurchase program, demonstrating a commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Key strategic priorities included profitable growth in end markets, continuous improvement in financial results, strengthening customer relationships, and expanding service offerings into higher value-added areas. The company highlighted ongoing efforts to diversify its customer base and end markets, although it remains dependent on its traditional end markets for a significant portion of its revenue.

Celestica Inc. reported a slight decrease in revenue for 2013, reaching $5.8 billion, down from $6.5 billion in 2012. This decline was primarily attributed to the company's disengagement from BlackBerry. Excluding BlackBerry revenue, the company's overall revenue saw a 1% increase year-over-year. Net earnings remained relatively flat at $118 million compared to $117.7 million in 2012. The company's gross margin remained stable at 6.7%, benefiting from an improved program mix and cost containment efforts. Celestica continues to focus on profitable growth, cost management, and strengthening customer relationships, particularly in its Diversified and Communications end markets, which represented a significant portion of its revenue in 2013. The company ended the year with a strong balance sheet, including $544.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Celestica Inc. reported $6.51 billion in revenue for 2012, a decrease from $7.21 billion in 2011, primarily driven by the wind-down of its manufacturing services for Research In Motion (RIM), which accounted for 12% of 2012 revenue. Excluding RIM, revenue saw a 1% decrease year-over-year. The company's diversified end market showed growth, increasing 27% due to new program wins and acquisitions, contributing significantly to revenue. Net earnings for 2012 were $117.7 million, down from $195.1 million in 2011, impacted by lower volumes and increased restructuring and impairment charges. However, Celestica demonstrated strong free cash flow of $211.4 million and maintained a robust balance sheet with $550.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at year-end. The company continues to focus on expanding its higher-value services, such as design and engineering, and growing its diversified end market.

Celestica Inc. reported significant growth in its 2011 fiscal year, with revenue increasing by 11% to $7.2 billion. This growth was driven by new program wins and strategic acquisitions, particularly in the diversified end market, which saw a 40% increase in revenue. The company's net earnings also saw a substantial rise, more than doubling from $101.2 million in 2010 to $195.1 million in 2011, aided by improved operating performance and lower restructuring charges. Despite the positive financial results, investors should be aware of key risks. Celestica remains heavily reliant on a small number of major customers, with its top 10 customers accounting for 71% of revenue in 2011, and a significant portion of revenue coming from Research In Motion (RIM). The company also faces intense competition and pricing pressures within the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry, and operates within an uncertain global economic environment. Management is actively pursuing diversification into new markets and acquisitions to mitigate customer concentration risks.

Celestica Inc.'s 2010 10-K filing shows a recovery in revenue and a return to profitability after a challenging 2009. Revenue increased by 7% to $6.5 billion, driven by growth in the server, industrial, aerospace, defense, healthcare, and enterprise communications segments. Net earnings for the year reached $80.8 million, a significant improvement from the $55.0 million earned in 2009, with diluted earnings per share at $0.35. The company continues to navigate a highly competitive EMS industry, emphasizing strategic acquisitions and expansion into higher-value markets such as healthcare and green technology. However, a significant portion of revenue is still derived from a limited number of customers, with RIM representing 20% of total revenue in 2010. Management's priorities include revenue growth, margin improvement, and broadening service offerings to enhance shareholder value. Key risks highlighted include intense price competition, dependence on a few large customers and end markets, the uncertainty of the global economic environment, and operational challenges related to managing capacity and customer order fluctuations. The company also noted significant restructuring charges in prior years and potential future charges, as well as ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions.

Celestica Inc.'s 2010 10-K filing highlights a challenging year in 2009, marked by a significant 21% decrease in revenue to $6.1 billion, primarily driven by weaker end-market demand and customer-specific program shifts. Despite the revenue decline, the company improved its gross margin to 7.1% and reported a net profit of $55.0 million, a notable rebound from the substantial net loss of $720.5 million in 2008. This turnaround was supported by cost reductions, restructuring actions, and increased productivity. The company also focused on strengthening its financial position by repurchasing a significant portion of its Senior Subordinated Notes. Looking ahead, Celestica aimed to grow revenue organically and through acquisitions, improve financial results, enhance customer relationships, and broaden its service offerings to diversify its revenue base.

Celestica Inc.'s 2008 10-K filing reveals a challenging year marked by a significant revenue decline and a substantial net loss, largely driven by an $850.5 million goodwill impairment charge. While revenue fell 5% year-over-year to $7.7 billion, gross profit improved by 25% due to operational enhancements and cost-reduction initiatives, leading to a gross margin of 6.9% compared to 5.2% in the prior year. The company continues to navigate an uncertain global economic environment, impacting customer demand and increasing operational risks. Despite these headwinds, Celestica maintains a strong liquidity position with $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents at year-end 2008, underscoring its focus on managing its financial resources prudently amidst market volatility.

Celestica Inc.'s 2007 10-K filing reveals a challenging year marked by revenue decline and a net loss, primarily due to customer and program disengagements impacting key segments like telecommunications. The company's strategic focus in 2007 was on restoring customer confidence, improving operations in Mexico, and driving efficiency through restructuring. While revenue was down, gross margins showed slight improvement year-over-year, and the company ended the year with a strong cash position. Celestica continues to diversify its revenue base into consumer and industrial markets to mitigate reliance on the computing and communications sectors. Significant restructuring charges were incurred, with plans for further actions in 2008 to optimize the global manufacturing network and reduce fixed costs. The company also highlights ongoing efforts to attract new customers and business in its strategic target markets.

Celestica Inc.'s 2006 10-K filing reveals a year of mixed financial performance. While revenue saw a modest increase to $8.8 billion, driven by growth in Asia and the consumer segment, the company continued to grapple with net losses, reporting a net loss of $150.6 million. This was primarily attributed to significant restructuring charges totaling $178.1 million and ongoing operational inefficiencies, particularly in Mexico and Europe. Gross margins declined to 5.1% from 5.7% in the prior year, impacted by inventory charges and operational challenges. Despite these financial headwinds, Celestica maintained a strong balance sheet with $803.7 million in cash and short-term investments. The company continued its strategic focus on improving operational performance, restoring customer confidence, and expanding its global manufacturing network. Key risks identified include intense industry competition, dependence on a few large customers, and the complexities of managing international operations and restructuring activities.

Celestica Inc. reported significant restructuring charges and net losses across several years leading up to 2005. The company experienced revenue declines in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily due to weaker demand in its core computing and telecommunications markets, although revenue from its Asia operations saw growth. Despite revenue challenges, Celestica demonstrated an improvement in gross margins from 2004 to 2005, driven by cost reductions from restructuring and operational efficiencies. The company continues its strategic focus on improving operating margins, diversifying its customer base beyond traditional sectors, and selectively pursuing acquisitions. Significant efforts are being made to align capacity with anticipated customer demand, including a substantial shift of production to lower-cost geographies.

Celestica Inc. reported significant revenue growth in 2004, increasing by 31% to $8.8 billion, a recovery from the 2003 downturn which saw revenues drop by 19%. This growth was driven by new business wins, acquisitions, and improved end-market conditions. However, despite the revenue increase, the company continued to experience substantial net losses, with the loss for 2004 widening significantly to $854.1 million, largely due to substantial impairment charges ($912.6 million in total), including goodwill and long-lived assets, and a large charge to establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The company is actively undergoing restructuring initiatives, aiming to improve capacity utilization and operational efficiency by shifting production to lower-cost geographies. While revenue from customers outside the top ten has increased, the company remains significantly dependent on its largest customers, with its top ten customers accounting for 65% of revenue in 2004.

Celestica Inc.'s 2003 10-K filing reveals a company navigating a challenging economic environment within the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry. The company experienced a significant revenue decline in 2003, down 19% to $6.7 billion, primarily due to weakened demand in the computing and communications sectors and ongoing pricing pressures. This resulted in a net loss of $265.8 million for the year, a continuation of the losses reported in 2001 and 2002. Despite the financial headwinds, Celestica continued to focus on restructuring efforts, aiming to improve operating efficiency and rebalance its global manufacturing footprint towards lower-cost geographies. Significant restructuring charges were incurred, totaling $175.4 million in 2003, as the company worked to align its capacity with demand and reduce costs. The company also highlighted its dependence on a limited number of large customers, with its top four customers representing 44% of 2003 revenue, and noted the potential risks associated with this concentration.

Celestica Inc. filed its 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, on April 21, 2003. The report highlights a challenging year marked by a significant revenue decline of 17% to $8.3 billion, driven by a prolonged downturn in the information technology and communications sectors. The company experienced reduced demand, leading to lower volumes and margin pressures, particularly in its European operations. To address these challenges, Celestica continued its restructuring efforts, focusing on capacity reduction and shifting operations to lower-cost geographies, with substantial restructuring charges recorded. Despite the revenue drop, Celestica focused on strengthening its financial position by increasing its cash balance and reducing working capital. The company also actively managed its debt, redeeming Senior Subordinated Notes and repurchasing convertible debt. Looking ahead, Celestica anticipates continued market uncertainty but remains committed to its strategy of leveraging technology, quality, and supply chain management to secure strategic relationships with leading OEMs, while also pursuing diversification and cost optimization initiatives.

Celestica Inc.'s 2001 annual report filed on May 3, 2002, shows a year of significant revenue growth alongside a notable net loss, largely driven by aggressive acquisition activity and substantial restructuring charges. Revenue climbed to $10 billion, a slight increase from 2000, boosted by acquisitions that offset a decline in existing business volumes due to a slowdown in the technology and telecommunications markets. However, the company recorded a net loss of $39.8 million for the year, a reversal from its $206.7 million profit in 2000, primarily due to $273.1 million in "other charges," which included $237.0 million for restructuring and a $36.1 million asset write-down. Despite the reported loss, Celestica's balance sheet strengthened with a substantial increase in cash and short-term investments to $1.34 billion and a significant rise in shareholders' equity to $4.75 billion. The company's strategic focus in 2001 was on expanding its geographic reach and customer base through numerous acquisitions, notably Omni Industries Limited and assets from Avaya Inc. and Lucent Technologies Inc. Management is focused on improving operating efficiency and leveraging the benefits of these acquisitions, anticipating positive impacts in the upcoming year. Investors should note the company's continued reliance on a few major customers, which collectively represented 55% of 2001 revenue, as a key risk factor.

Celestica Inc.'s 2000 Form 20-F report highlights a period of substantial growth and strategic expansion. The company, a leading provider of electronics manufacturing services (EMS), saw its revenue nearly double from $5.3 billion in 1999 to $9.8 billion in 2000, driven by strong performance in the communications and server industries, as well as significant acquisitions, notably the integration of IBM's Minnesota and Italy operations. Despite strong revenue growth, the company experienced a slight dip in gross margin from 7.2% to 7.1% due to product mix and start-up costs. However, operating margins improved, and the company's adjusted net earnings showed a robust increase, reflecting effective cost management and operational efficiencies. Celestica's strategy emphasizes leveraging its technological capabilities, expanding its service offerings, diversifying its customer base with a focus on the communications sector, and pursuing strategic acquisitions. The company also notes its significant dependence on a few large customers, including IBM and Sun Microsystems, which collectively represented 46% of 2000 revenue.
