TORONTO, April 22 /CNW/ - Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
First Quarter Results
---------------------
Revenue for the quarter was $1,518 million, compared to $1,469 million in the first quarter of 2009, reflecting primarily new wins from existing customers and an improving economic environment, partially offset by program declines. GAAP net earnings were $25.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $19.2 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same period last year.
Adjusted net earnings for the quarter were $43.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to adjusted net earnings of $33.6 million, or $0.15 per share, for the same period last year. The term adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP measure defined as net earnings before other charges, amortization of intangible assets (excluding amortization of computer software), total stock-based compensation including option and restricted stock expense, and gains or losses related to the repurchase of shares and debt, net of tax and significant deferred tax write-offs or recoveries. Detailed GAAP financial statements and supplementary information related to adjusted net earnings and other non-GAAP measures appear at the end of this press release.
First Quarter Results Compared to Guidance
------------------------------------------
The company's revenue and adjusted net earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 were within the company's published guidance, announced on January 27, 2010, of revenue of $1.45 billion to $1.60 billion, and adjusted net earnings per share of $0.15 to $0.21.
"Celestica's first quarter results demonstrate our ability to deliver both strong and consistent returns and profitability," said Craig Muhlhauser, President & CEO.
"The year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter reflects the gradually improving economy, but also highlights the success Celestica has had in winning new business. We believe Celestica is well positioned to continue to capitalize on a number of new opportunities that are emerging globally across a broad range of markets and customers."
Second Quarter of 2010 Outlook
------------------------------
For the second quarter ending June 30, 2010, the company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion, and adjusted net earnings per share to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.23.
First Quarter Webcast and Annual Shareholders Meeting Webcast
-------------------------------------------------------------
Management will host its first quarter results conference call webcast today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern. The company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held today at 10:00 a.m. at the TMX Broadcast Centre, The Exchange Tower, 130 King St. West, Toronto, Ontario. Both webcasts can be accessed at www.celestica.com.
CEO Enters Automatic Securities Disposition Plan
------------------------------------------------
Celestica also announced today that Craig Muhlhauser, President & CEO, has entered into an automatic securities disposition plan for the sale of up to 1,496,147 Subordinate Voting Shares between May 10, 2010 and April 29, 2011. The shares represent approximately eight percent of Mr. Muhlhauser's total vested and unvested equity at target performance levels.
Sales will be conducted by an independent broker pursuant to pre-determined criteria on a monthly basis and effected in part through the exercise of stock options previously granted to Mr. Muhlhauser.
In accordance with applicable Canadian provincial and U.S. securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the plan allows for the disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares and the related exercise of options on a pre-determined, automatic basis regardless of whether trading restrictions are in place, including whether Mr. Muhlhauser subsequently receives material non-public information regarding Celestica. Mr. Muhlhauser is not permitted to revoke or rescind the plan and, subject to limited exceptions, is not permitted to modify or amend the plan. Dispositions pursuant to the plan will be reported in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Supplementary Information
-------------------------
In addition to disclosing detailed results in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Celestica provides supplementary non-GAAP measures as a method to evaluate the company's operating performance. See table below.
Management uses adjusted net earnings (and other non-GAAP measures) as a measure of enterprise-wide performance. Management believes adjusted net earnings is a useful measure for management, as well as investors, to facilitate period-to-period operating comparisons at the company and with its major North American EMS competitors. Adjusted net earnings do not include the effects of other charges, most significantly the write-down of goodwill and long-lived assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or debt and the related income tax effect of these adjustments, and any significant deferred tax write-offs or recoveries. The company also excludes the following recurring charges: restructuring costs, total stock-based compensation (including option and restricted stock expense), the amortization of intangible assets (except amortization of computer software), and the related income tax effect of these adjustments. The term adjusted net earnings does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted net earnings is not a measure of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings prepared in accordance with Canadian or U.S. GAAP. The company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings, which is a non-GAAP measure, to Canadian GAAP net earnings below.

Safe Harbor and Fair Disclosure Statement
-----------------------------------------
This news release contains forward-looking statements related to our future growth, trends in our industry, our financial and/or operational results including those relating to the redemption of our Senior Subordinated Notes and the expected benefits of such redemption, and our financial or operational performance. Such forward-looking statements are predictive in nature and may be based on current expectations, forecasts or assumptions involving risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements themselves. Such forward-looking statements may, without limitation, be preceded by, followed by, or include words such as "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", "intends", "plans", or similar expressions, or may employ such future or conditional verbs as "may", "will", "should" or "would", or may otherwise be indicated as forward-looking statements by grammatical construction, phrasing or context. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and in any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. You should understand that the following important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements: the effects of price competition and other business and competitive factors generally affecting the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry, including changes in the trend for outsourcing; our dependence on a limited number of customers and end markets; variability of operating results among periods; the challenges of effectively managing our operations, including responding to significant changes in demand from our customers; our inability to retain or expand our business due to execution problems resulting from significant headcount reductions, plant closures and product transfer activities; the delays in the delivery and/or general availability of various components and materials used in our manufacturing process; our dependence on industries affected by rapid technological change; our ability to successfully manage our international operations; the challenge of managing our financial exposures to foreign currency fluctuations; and the risk of potential non-performance by counterparties, including but not limited to financial institutions, customers and suppliers. These and other risks and uncertainties, as well as other information related to the company, are discussed in the Company's various public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F and subsequent reports on Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and our Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulators. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Except as required by applicable law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
As of its date, this press release contains any material information associated with the Company's financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and revenue and adjusted net earnings guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2010. Revenue and earnings guidance is reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors. Our revenue and earnings guidance is based on various assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the current circumstances, but may prove to be inaccurate, and many of which involve factors that are beyond the control of the Company. The material assumptions may include the following: forecasts from our customers, which range from 30 to 90 days; timing and investments associated with ramping new business; general economic and market conditions; currency exchange rates; pricing and competition; anticipated customer demand; supplier performance and pricing; commodity, labor, energy and transportation costs; operational and financial matters; technological developments; and the timing and execution of our restructuring plan. These assumptions are based on management's current views with respect to current plans and events, and are and will be subject to the risks and uncertainties referred to above. It is Celestica's policy that revenue and earnings guidance is effective on the date given, and will only be updated through a public announcement.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Canadian GAAP net earnings to adjusted net earnings and other non-GAAP measures (in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts). Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian or U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP measures are not measures of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under Canadian or U.S. GAAP.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, the company revised its definition of the following non-GAAP measures - adjusted net earnings, return on invested capital, adjusted operating margin (EBIAT), adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) - to exclude (in addition to the items excluded under the previous definition) total stock-based compensation expense (consisting of option and restricted stock expense). These non-GAAP measures, including comparables for prior periods, reflect the revised definition, unless otherwise specified.

(1) Excludes total stock-based compensation, comprised of option and
restricted stock expense.
(2) Management uses adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross profit,
adjusted gross margin and adjusted SG&A as measures to assess
operating performance. Management believes that each of these is an
appropriate measure for management, as well as investors, to compare
operating performance from period-to-period. Adjusted cost of sales
is calculated by excluding total stock-based compensation from GAAP
cost of sales. Adjusted gross profit is calculated by excluding total
stock-based compensation from GAAP gross profit. Adjusted gross
margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by revenue.
Adjusted SG&A is calculated by excluding total stock-based
compensation from GAAP SG&A. Adjusted SG&A percentage is calculated
by dividing adjusted SG&A by revenue.
(3) Management uses EBIAT (adjusted operating margin) as a measure to
assess operating performance. Excluded from EBIAT are the effects of
other charges, most significantly the write-down of goodwill and
long-lived assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or
debt, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments, and any
significant deferred tax write-offs or recoveries. We also exclude
the following recurring charges: restructuring costs, total stock-
based compensation (including option and restricted stock expense),
amortization of intangible assets (except amortization of computer
software), interest expense or income, and the related income tax
effect of these adjustments. Management believes EBIAT, which
isolates operating activities before interest and taxes, is an
appropriate measure for management, as well as investors, to compare
the company's operating performance from period-to-period. There is
no comparable measure under Canadian or U.S. GAAP. EBIAT should not
be considered as a substitute for net earnings prepared in accordance
with Canadian or U.S. GAAP.
(4) Management uses ROIC as a measure to assess the effectiveness of the
invested capital it uses to build products or provide services to its
customers. The ROIC measure used by the company includes operating
margin, working capital management and asset utilization. ROIC is
calculated by dividing EBIAT (defined in (3) above) by average net
invested capital. Net invested capital consists of total assets less
cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable.
We use a two-point average to calculate average net invested capital
for the quarter. Management believes ROIC is an appropriate measure
for management, as well as investors, to compare operating
performance from period-to-period. There is no comparable measure
under Canadian or U.S. GAAP.
(5) Management uses free cash flow as a measure to assess operational
cash flow performance. Free cash flow is calculated as cash
generated from operations less capital expenditures (net of proceeds
from the sale of surplus property and equipment). Management
believes free cash flow is an appropriate measure for management, as
well as investors, to compare cash flow performance from period-to-
period. There is no comparable measure under Canadian or U.S. GAAP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies:
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada.
The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements do not include all requirements of Canadian GAAP for
annual financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2009 annual
consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly our financial position as at
March 31, 2010 and the results of operations, comprehensive income and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010.
i) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We
applied significant estimates and assumptions to our valuations against
inventory and income taxes, to the amount and timing of restructuring
charges or recoveries, to the fair values used in testing long-lived
assets, and to valuing our pension costs. We evaluate our estimates and
assumptions on a regular basis, taking into account historical experience
and other relevant factors. Actual results could differ materially from
those estimates and assumptions.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon
accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the
2009 annual consolidated financial statements.
ii) Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
(a) International financial reporting standards (IFRS):
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board announced the
adoption of IFRS for publicly accountable enterprises. IFRS will replace
Canadian GAAP effective January 1, 2011. IFRS is effective for our first
quarter of 2011 and will require that we restate our 2010 comparative
numbers under IFRS. Our IFRS transition plan is progressing according to
our implementation schedule, which includes completing our formal staff
training in the second quarter of 2010. We disclosed our preliminary IFRS
accounting policy decisions in our 2009 annual management's discussion
and analysis. Although we have identified key accounting policy
differences, we have only begun the quantification process. We cannot at
this time determine the full impact of IFRS on our consolidated financial
statements.
(b) Business combinations:
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1582, "Business
combinations," which replaces the existing standards. This section
establishes the standards for the accounting of business combinations,
and states that all assets and liabilities of an acquired business will
be recorded at fair value. Obligations for contingent consideration and
contingencies will also be recorded at fair value at the acquisition
date. The standard also states that acquisition-related costs and
restructuring charges will be expensed as incurred. This standard is
equivalent to the IFRS on business combinations. This standard is applied
prospectively to business combinations with acquisition dates on or after
January 1, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements unless we engage
in a significant acquisition.
(c) Multiple deliverable revenue arrangements:
In December 2009, the CICA issued EIC 175, "Multiple deliverable revenue
arrangements," which replaces the existing standards. This abstract
provides additional guidance for arrangements involving multiple
deliverables including how consideration should be measured and allocated
to the separate units of an arrangement. This abstract is effective for
2011. Earlier adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of
adopting this abstract on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisition:
In January 2010, we acquired the shares of Scotland-based Invec Solutions
Limited (Invec) for a cash purchase price of $5.0. Invec provides
warranty management, repair and parts management services to companies in
the information technology and consumer electronics markets. The amount
of goodwill and intangible assets, primarily computer software assets,
arising from this acquisition was $3.0 and $3.8, respectively. We are in
the process of finalizing the valuation of certain items. Accordingly,
our fair value allocation is preliminary and is subject to refinement.

(a) We have a revolving $200.0 credit facility with a maturity of
April 2011. We are required to comply with certain restrictive
covenants relating to debt incurrence, the sale of assets, a change
of control and certain financial covenants related to indebtedness,
interest coverage and liquidity. There were no borrowings outstanding
under the facility at March 31, 2010. Commitment fees for the first
quarter of 2010 were $0.6. We were in compliance with all covenants
at March 31, 2010. Based on the required financial ratios at
March 31, 2010, we have full access to this facility.
We also have uncommitted bank overdraft facilities available for
intraday operating requirements which total $65.0 at March 31, 2010.
There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities at
March 31, 2010.
(b) In June 2005, we issued the 2013 Notes with a principal amount of
$250.0 and a fixed interest rate of 7.625%. We repurchased the
remaining 2013 Notes in the first quarter of 2010. See note 3(c).
(c) In March 2009, we paid $149.7, excluding accrued interest, to
repurchase Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (2011 Notes) with a
principal amount of $150.0. In November 2009, we paid $346.1,
excluding accrued interest, to repurchase the remaining 2011 Notes
with a principal amount of $339.4. We recognized a gain of $9.1 in
the first quarter of 2009 and a gain of $10.4 in the fourth quarter
of 2009 on these repurchases which we recorded in other charges. In
March 2010, we paid $231.6, excluding accrued interest, to repurchase
the remaining 2013 Notes and recognized a loss of $8.8 in other
charges. The gain or loss on the repurchases was measured based on
the carrying value of the repurchased portion of the Notes, which
included the related basis adjustment, the unamortized debt issue
costs and the carrying value of the embedded prepayment option, on
the dates of repurchase.
In the first quarter of 2009, we also terminated the interest rate
swap agreements related to the 2011 Notes and received $14.7 in cash,
excluding accrued interest, as settlement of these agreements. In
connection with the termination of the swap agreements, we
discontinued fair value hedge accounting on the 2011 Notes in the
first quarter of 2009 and recorded a write-down, through other
charges, of $15.6 in the carrying value of the embedded prepayment
option on the 2011 Notes to reflect the change in fair value upon
hedge de-designation. We amortized the historical fair value
adjustment on the 2011 Notes until they were repaid, using the
effective interest rate method. This amortization is recorded as a
reduction of interest expense on long-term debt.
We marked-to-market the bifurcated embedded prepayment options in our
Notes until the options were extinguished. The change in the fair
values each period were recorded in interest expense on long-term
debt, except for the write-down of the embedded prepayment option due
to hedge de-designation or debt repurchase which we recorded in other
charges. The impact on our results of operations is as follows:

(a) Restructuring:
In January 2008, we estimated that a restructuring charge of between $50
and $75 would be recorded throughout 2008 and 2009. In July 2009, we
announced additional restructuring charges of between $75 and $100.
Combined, we expect to incur total restructuring charges of between $150
and $175 associated with this program. Since the beginning of 2008, we
have recorded total restructuring charges of $126.5. Of that amount, $8.1
was recorded in the first quarter of 2010. We expect to complete these
restructuring actions by the end of 2010. We recognize the restructuring
charges as the detailed plans are finalized.
Our restructuring actions include consolidating facilities and reducing
our workforce. The majority of the employees terminated under this plan
were manufacturing and plant employees in the Americas, Europe and the
Philippines. For leased facilities that we no longer use, the lease costs
included in the restructuring costs represent future lease payments less
estimated sublease recoveries. Adjustments are made to lease and other
contractual obligations to reflect incremental cancellation fees paid for
terminating certain facility leases and to reflect changes in the
accruals for other leases due to delays in the timing of sublease
recoveries, changes in estimated sublease rates, or changes in use,
relating principally to facilities in the Americas. We expect our long-
term lease and other contractual obligations to be paid out over the
remaining lease terms through 2015. Our restructuring liability is
recorded in accrued liabilities.

As of March 31, 2010, we have approximately $22.0 in assets that are
held-for-sale, primarily land and buildings, as a result of the
restructuring actions we have implemented. We have programs underway to
sell these assets.
(b) Other:
We realized recoveries on certain assets that were previously written
down through other charges.
5. Segment and customer information:
(a) The following table indicates revenue by end market as a percentage
of total revenue. Our revenue fluctuates from period-to-period
depending on numerous factors, including but not limited to:
seasonality of business; the level of program wins or losses with
new, existing or disengaging customers; the phasing in or out of
programs; and changes in customer demand.

(i) Our current portfolio consists of certificates of deposit and
certain money market funds that are secured exclusively by U.S.
government securities. The majority of our cash and cash
equivalents are held with financial institutions each of which
had at March 31, 2010 a Standard and Poor's rating of A-2 or
above.
7. Derivative financial instruments:
We enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks
primarily relating to cash flows. At March 31, 2010, we had forward
exchange contracts covering various currencies in an aggregate notional
amount of $582.7. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at
fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of our
foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2010 was a net unrealized gain of
$16.8 (December 31, 2009 - net unrealized gain of $8.0). This is
comprised of $17.8 of derivative assets recorded in prepaid and other
assets and other long-term assets, and $1.0 of derivative liabilities
recorded in accrued liabilities. The unrealized gains and losses are a
result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the time the
currency forward contracts were entered into and the valuation date at
period end. The change in the net unrealized gains of our foreign
currency contracts during the first quarter of 2010 is due primarily to
the favourable movement in the exchange rates for the currencies that we
hedge.
At March 31, 2010, we had forward exchange contracts to trade U.S.
dollars in exchange for the following currencies:

March 31, 2010 ($0.6 income tax expense for 2009).
(c) Net of income tax expense of $0.3 as of March 31, 2010 ($0.1 income
tax expense as of December 31, 2009).
We expect that the majority of the gains on cash flow hedges reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2010 will be
reclassified to operations during the next 12 months, primarily through
cost of sales as the underlying expenses that are being hedged are
included in cost of sales.
9. Contingencies:
Litigation:
In the normal course of our operations, we are subject to litigation and
claims from time to time. We may also be subject to lawsuits,
investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product,
customer disputes and other matters. Management believes that adequate
provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required. Although it
is not always possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any,
management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies
will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
financial position or liquidity.
In 2007, securities class action lawsuits were commenced against us and
our former Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers in the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York by certain
individuals, on behalf of themselves and other unnamed purchasers of our
stock, claiming that they were purchasers of our stock during the period
January 27, 2005 through January 30, 2007. The plaintiffs allege
violations of United States federal securities laws and seek unspecified
damages. They allege that during the purported class period we made
statements concerning our actual and anticipated future financial results
that failed to disclose certain purportedly material adverse information
with respect to demand and inventory in our Mexican operations and our
information technology and communications divisions. In an amended
complaint, the plaintiffs have added one of our directors and Onex
Corporation as defendants. All defendants have filed motions to dismiss
the amended complaint. These motions are pending. A parallel class
proceeding has also been issued against us and our former Chief Executive
and Chief Financial Officers in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice,
but neither leave nor certification of the action has been granted by
that court. We believe that the allegations in these claims are without
merit and we intend to defend against them vigorously. However, there can
be no assurance that the outcome of the litigation will be favorable to
us or that it will not have a material adverse impact on our financial
position or liquidity. In addition, we may incur substantial litigation
expenses in defending these claims. We have liability insurance coverage
that may cover some of our litigation expenses, potential judgments or
settlement costs.
Income taxes:
We are subject to tax audits and reviews by local tax authorities of
historical information which could result in additional tax expense in
future periods relating to prior results. Reviews by tax authorities
generally focus on, but are not limited to, the validity of our inter-
company transactions, including financing and transfer pricing policies
which generally involve subjective areas of taxation and a significant
degree of judgment. If any of these tax authorities are successful with
their challenges, our income tax expense may be adversely affected and we
could also be subject to interest and penalty charges.
In connection with ongoing tax audits in Canada, tax authorities have
taken the position that income reported by one of our Canadian
subsidiaries in 2001 through 2003 should have been materially higher as a
result of certain inter-company transactions. The successful pursuit of
that assertion could result in that subsidiary owing significant amounts
of tax, interest and possibly penalties. We believe we have substantial
defenses to the asserted position and have adequately accrued for any
probable potential adverse tax impact. However, there can be no assurance
as to the final resolution of this claim and any resulting proceedings,
and if this claim and any ensuing proceedings are determined adversely to
us, the amounts we may be required to pay could be material.
In connection with a tax audit in Brazil, in the fourth quarter of 2009,
tax authorities took the position that income reported by our Brazilian
subsidiary in 2004 should have been materially higher as a result of
certain inter-company transactions. We believe we have substantial
defenses to the asserted position. However, there can be no assurance as
to the final resolution of this matter and, if it is determined adversely
to us, the amounts we may be required to pay for taxes, interest and
penalties could be material.
We have and will continue to recognize the future benefit of certain
Brazilian tax losses on the basis that these tax losses can and will be
fully utilized in the fiscal period ending on the date of dissolution of
our Brazilian subsidiary. We regularly review Brazilian laws and assess
the likelihood of the realization of the future benefit of the tax
losses. A change to the benefit realizable on these Brazilian losses
could result in a substantial increase to our net future tax liabilities.
10. Financial instruments - financial risks:
Currency risk: Due to the nature of our international operations, we are
exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on our cash receipts, cash payments
and balance sheet exposures denominated in various foreign currencies. We
manage our currency risk through our hedging program using forecasts of
future cash flows and our balance sheet exposures denominated in foreign
currencies. Our major currency exposures, as of March 31, 2010, are
summarized in U.S. dollar equivalents in the following table. For
purposes of this table, we have excluded items such as pension, post-
employment benefits and income taxes, in accordance with the financial
instruments standards. The local currency amounts have been converted to
U.S. dollar equivalents using the spot rates as of March 31, 2010.
