Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of this Form 6-K filing?
The primary purpose of this Form 6-K filing is to provide the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and investors with timely information about Celestica Inc.'s financial results and operations. As a foreign private issuer, Celestica uses this form to report material information that it makes public in its home country or distributes to its security holders.
Where can I find the detailed financial performance information?
The detailed financial performance information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, is not directly in the 6-K form itself. Instead, it is incorporated by reference into Exhibits 99.1 (Management's Discussion and Analysis) and 99.2 (Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
What does the inclusion of Sarbanes-Oxley Act certifications imply?
The inclusion of voluntary CEO and CFO certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) indicates Celestica's commitment to financial transparency and compliance with U.S. corporate governance standards. These certifications attest to the accuracy of the financial reporting and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Is this filing a substitute for an earnings release?
While this filing contains financial information, it is presented in the context of a regulatory report for foreign private issuers. Investors typically refer to official earnings releases for initial announcements and commentary, and then consult the SEC filings (like the referenced documents within this 6-K) for the detailed financial statements and management's analysis.
