Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this Form 6-K filing is to provide the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with updated financial and operational information for Celestica Inc. for the month of July 2008, specifically incorporating its second quarter 2008 results.

The detailed financial results and analysis for Celestica's second quarter of 2008 are provided within the 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations' and the press release dated July 24, 2008, both of which are incorporated by reference into this Form 6-K.

Being a 'foreign private issuer' means Celestica is a company incorporated outside of the United States. Filing a 'Form 6-K' is the standard method for such companies to report material information they make public in their home country to the SEC. This filing incorporates specific Q2 2008 financial information that the company has already disclosed.

The Form 6-K itself is primarily a transmittal document for information already made public. The substantive details regarding financial performance, operational results, and any strategic discussions would be found in the incorporated documents (MD&A and press release), not in the 6-K form text itself.
