JABIL INC 10-K

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act as of August 31, 2020 . Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 . Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 is incorporated herein at Item 15. Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 , which is incorporated herein at Item 15. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on the effectiveness of controls, we have reached the conclusions set forth in Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 . The SEC’s general guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrant’s controls and procedures as they relate to its internal control over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition if, among other circumstances and factors, there is not an adequate amount of time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment. On September 30, 2019, we completed the third closing of our acquisition of certain assets of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”). In accordance with the SEC guidance, the scope of our evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 did not include the internal control over financial reporting of these acquired operations. Assets acquired from JJMD during the third closing represent 2.1% of our total consolidated assets at August 31, 2020 . Net revenue generated by these assets subsequent to the date of acquisition represents 1.9% of our consolidated net revenue for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 . We continue to evaluate internal controls over financial reporting for these acquired operations. From the acquisition date to August 31, 2020 , the processes and systems of the acquired operations did not significantly impact our internal control over financial reporting. (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting For our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2020 , we did not identify any modifications to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 . Management based this assessment on the framework as established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. The SEC’s general guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrant’s controls and procedures as they relate to its internal control over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition if, among other circumstances and factors, there is not an adequate amount of time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment. On September 30, 2019, we completed the third closing of our acquisition of certain assets of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”). In accordance with the SEC guidance, the scope of our evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 did not include the internal control over financial reporting of these acquired operations. Assets acquired from JJMD during the third closing represent 2.1% of our total consolidated assets at August 31, 2020. Net revenue generated by these assets subsequent to the date of acquisition represents 1.9% of our consolidated net revenue for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. We continue to evaluate internal controls over financial reporting for these acquired operations. From the acquisition date to August 31, 2020, the processes and systems of the acquired operations did not significantly impact our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of August 31, 2020 , the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which follows this report. October 22, 2020 53 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Jabil Inc. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited Jabil Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Jabil Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 , based on the COSO criteria. As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the operations acquired in the third closing of the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (JJMD), which are included in the 2020 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 2.1% of consolidated total assets as of August 31, 2020 and 1.9% of consolidated net revenue for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the operations acquired in the third closing of the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2020 , and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a), and our report dated October 22, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Tampa, Florida October 22, 2020 54 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Jabil Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jabil Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2020 , and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at August 31, 2020 and 2019 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2020 , in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 , based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated October 22, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Adoption of New Accounting Standard As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and certain fulfillment costs in 2019 due to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. 55 Table of Contents Uncertain Tax Positions Description of the Matter As disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company operates in a complex multinational tax environment and is subject to laws and regulations in various jurisdictions regarding intercompany transactions. Uncertain tax positions may arise from interpretations and judgments made by the Company in the application of the relevant laws, regulations and tax rulings. The Company uses significant judgment in (1) determining whether the technical merits of tax positions for certain intercompany transactions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained and (2) measuring the related amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. Auditing the tax positions related to certain intercompany transactions was challenging because the recognition and measurement of the tax positions is highly judgmental and is based on interpretations of laws, regulations and tax rulings. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We tested controls over the Company’s process to assess the technical merits of tax positions related to certain intercompany transactions and also tested controls over the Company’s process to determine the application of the relevant laws, regulations and tax rulings, including management’s process to recognize and measure the related tax positions. In testing the recognition and measurement criteria, we involved tax professionals to assist in assessing the technical merits of the Company’s tax positions. In addition, we used our knowledge of and experience with the application of domestic and international income tax laws by the relevant tax authorities to evaluate the Company’s accounting for those tax positions. We also assessed the Company’s assumptions and data used to measure the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition, and tested the clerical accuracy of the calculations.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1 . Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Jabil Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as the “Company”) is one of the leading providers of manufacturing services and solutions. The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. The Company’s services combine a highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing approach with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability technologies. The Company is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida and has manufacturing operations principally in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows: Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation. Use of Accounting Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. Allowances of $ 25.8 million and $ 17.2 million were recorded as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made as necessary. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing a customer (“contract assets”) while a liability is recognized when a customer pays an invoice prior to the Company transferring control of the goods or services (“contract liabilities”). Amounts recognized as contract assets are generally transferred to receivables in the succeeding quarter due to the short-term nature of the manufacturing cycle. Contract assets are classified separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and transferred to receivables when right to payment becomes unconditional. The Company reviews contract assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable after considering factors such as the age of the balances and the financial stability of the customer. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis) and net realizable value. Inventory is valued based on current and forecasted usage, customer inventory-related contractual obligations and other lower of cost and net realizable value considerations. If actual market conditions or customer product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional valuation adjustments may be necessary. Fulfillment Costs 62 Table of Contents The Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that i) relate directly to the contract or anticipated contracts, ii) are expected to generate or enhance the Company’s resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligation under the contract, and iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated from the contract. Capitalized fulfillment costs are amortized to cost of revenue as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations under the contract with approximate lives ranging from 1 year to 3 years . These costs, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, generally represent upfront costs incurred to prepare for manufacturing activities. The Company assesses the capitalized fulfillment costs for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company will recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount of the capitalized costs exceeds the recoverable amount. Recoverability is assessed by considering the capitalized fulfillment costs in relation to the forecasted profitability of the related manufacturing performance obligations. As of August 31, 2020 and 2019, capitalized costs to fulfill were $ 85.3 million and $ 67.1 million , respectively. Amortization of fulfillment cost were $ 56.6 million and $ 48.6 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Immaterial or no impairments for fulfillments costs were recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: Asset Class Estimated Useful Life Buildings Up to 35 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvement Machinery and equipment 2 to 10 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years Transportation equipment 3 years Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income. Leases Effective September 1, 2019, the Company’s lease accounting policies changed in conjunction with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842). For further discussion, refer to Note 5 —“Leases” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows entities to maintain the historical lease classification for existing leases. The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for building and real estate leases. The Company primarily has leases for buildings and real estate with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 36 years . Leases for other classes of assets are not significant. For any leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception by evaluating if the contract conveys the right to use and control the specific property or equipment. Certain lease agreements contain purchase or renewal options. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Generally, the Company's lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. When determining the present value of future payment, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Any payment deemed probable under residual value guarantees is included in lease payments. Any variable payments, other than those that depend on an index or rate, are excluded from right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. 63 Table of Contents Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain equipment and buildings held under finance leases are classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under finance leases is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for goodwill in a business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired and is assigned to the reporting unit in which the acquired business will operate. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an average weighting of both projected discounted future results and the use of comparative market multiples. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of loss, if any. The recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible exceeds the carrying value, the Company determines the fair value principally based on a variation of the income approach, known as the relief from royalty method. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired. Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated useful life and include contractual agreements and customer relationships, tradenames and intellectual property. No significant residual values are estimated for the amortizable intangible assets. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value, which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value. Derivative Instruments All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized immediately in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses from changes in fair values are recognized in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income 64 Table of Contents The following table sets forth the changes in AOCI, net of tax, by component during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (in thousands): Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Derivative Instruments Actuarial (Loss) Gain Prior Service Cost Available for Sale Securities Total Balance as of August 31, 2019 $ ( 14,298 ) $ ( 39,398 ) $ ( 28,033 ) $ ( 608 ) $ ( 457 ) $ ( 82,794 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications ( 22,297 ) ( 6,004 ) 66,285 ( 17 ) ( 35,963 ) 2,004 Amounts reclassified from AOCI — 14,406 ( 4,159 ) ( 45 ) 36,420 46,622 Other comprehensive (loss) income (1) ( 22,297 ) 8,402 62,126 ( 62 ) 457 48,626 Balance as of August 31, 2020 $ ( 36,595 ) $ ( 30,996 ) $ 34,093 $ ( 670 ) $ — $ ( 34,168 ) (1) Actuarial (loss) gain is net of tax of $( 12.0 ) million .

(2) Amounts are included in the computation of net periodic benefit pension cost. Refer to Note 10 – “Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits” for additional information. (3) Amounts are net of tax, which are immaterial for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 . The amount for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 includes a reduction to income tax expense related to derivative instruments of $ 14.8 million . Foreign Currency Transactions For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in operating income. Revenue Recognition The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), which encompasses the act of producing tangible products that are built to customer specifications, which are then provided to the customer. 65 Table of Contents The Company generally enters into manufacturing service contracts with its customers that provide the framework under which business will be conducted and customer purchase orders will be received for specific quantities and with predominantly fixed pricing. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the manufacturing service contract and the purchase order, or any agreements or other similar documents. The majority of the Company's manufacturing service contracts relate to manufactured products which have no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the work completed to date. As a result, revenue is recognized over time when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services (known as performance obligations) to its customers. For certain other contracts with customers that do not meet the over time revenue recognition criteria, transfer of control occurs at a point in time which generally occurs upon delivery and transfer of risk and title to the customer. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual manufactured product or service is capable of being distinct and is distinct within the context of the contract. For the majority of customers, performance obligations are satisfied over time based on the continuous transfer of control as manufacturing services are performed and are generally completed in less than one year. The Company also derives revenue to a lesser extent from electronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized over time as the services are performed. For the Company’s over time customers, it believes the measure of progress which best depicts the transfer of control is based on costs incurred to date, relative to total estimated cost at completion (i.e., an input method). This method is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services because it results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of the Company's to-date efforts in the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected efforts in the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company believes that the use of an input method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. The transaction price of each performance obligation is generally based upon the contractual stand-alone selling price of the product or service. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as periodic cost of materials adjustments, rebates, discounts, or returns. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration that are not expected to result in a significant revenue reversal in the future, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. Taxes collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis and are excluded from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. Accordingly, the Company records customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net revenue, and classifies such costs as a component of cost of revenue. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards. The stock-based compensation expense for time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”) is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. For restricted stock units with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is originally based on the number of shares that would vest if the Company achieved 100% of the performance goal, which is the intended outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, management monitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition. If it becomes probable, based on the Company’s performance, that more or less than the current estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period that such probability changes. The stock-based compensation expense for market-based restricted stock units is measured at fair value on the date of grant. The market conditions are considered in the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to determine the probability of the Company achieving the specified market conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition will be recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed. 66 Table of Contents The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued. See Note 12 – “Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion of stock-based compensation expense. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. The Company applies the incremental cash tax savings approach when analyzing the impact Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) could have on its U.S. valuation allowance. The incremental cash tax savings approach considers the realizable benefit of a net operating loss and deferred tax assets by comparing the incremental cash taxes in the calculation of GILTI with and without the net operating loss and other DTAs. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to Jabil Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock units and dilutive stock appreciation rights. Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered dilutive when the related performance criterion have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. All potential shares of common stock are antidilutive in periods of net loss. Potential shares of common stock not included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive or because the performance criterion was not met were as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Restricted stock units 728 796 2,426 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is categorized in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used. Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 2 . Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs The Company regularly sells designated pools of high credit quality trade accounts receivable under uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs to unaffiliated financial institutions without recourse. As these accounts receivable are sold without recourse, the Company does not retain the associated risks following the transfer of such accounts receivable to the respective financial institutions. The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs. Servicing fees related to each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities. Transfers of the receivables under the trade accounts receivable sale programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the trade accounts receivable sale programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 67 Table of Contents The following is a summary of the trade accounts receivable sale programs with unaffiliated financial institutions where the Company may elect to sell receivables and the unaffiliated financial institution may elect to purchase, at a discount, on an ongoing basis: Program Maximum Amount (in millions) (1) Type of Facility Expiration Date A $ 600.0 Uncommitted December 5, 2020 (2) B $ 150.0 Uncommitted November 30, 2020 (3) C 400.0 CNY Uncommitted August 31, 2023 D $ 150.0 Uncommitted May 4, 2023 (4) E $ 150.0 Uncommitted January 25, 2021 (5) F $ 50.0 Uncommitted February 23, 2023 (6) G $ 100.0 Uncommitted August 10, 2021 (7) H $ 100.0 Uncommitted July 21, 2021 (8) I $ 650.0 Uncommitted December 4, 2020 (9) J $ 135.0 Uncommitted April 11, 2021 (10) K $ 100.0 CHF Uncommitted December 5, 2020 (2) (1) Maximum amount of trade accounts receivable that may be sold under a facility at any one time.

Leases Effective September 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach and also elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows entities to maintain the historical lease classification for existing leases. The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for building and real estate leases. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded $ 414.6 million and $ 437.5 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, respectively, related to its existing operating lease portfolio. The accounting for the Company's finance leases remained substantially unchanged and balances were not significant on the adoption date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(2) The Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. (3) On January 15, 2020, the Company issued $ 500.0 million of publicly registered 3.600 % Senior Notes due 2030 (the “ 3.600 % Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were used for the repayment of term loan indebtedness. (4) On July 13, 2020, the Company issued $ 600.0 million of publicly registered 3.000 % Senior Notes due 2031 (the “ 3.000 % Senior Notes”).

(5) On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a senior unsecured credit agreement which provides for: (i) a Revolving Credit Facility in the initial amount of $ 2.7 billion , of which $ 700.0 million expires on January 22, 2023 and $ 2.0 billion expires on January 22, 2025 and (ii) a $ 300.0 million Term Loan Facility which expires on January 22, 2025, (collectively the “Credit Facility”). Interest and fees on the Credit Facility advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Credit Facility, the Company terminated the Company’s amended and restated five-year credit agreement dated November 8, 2017 and the credit agreement dated August 24, 2018. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 , the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility ranged from 1.2 % to 4.3 % and the Term Loan Facility ranged from 1.6 % to 2.9 % . Interest is charged at a rate equal to (a) for the Revolving Credit Facility, either 0.000 % to 0.450 % above the base rate or 0.975 % to 1.450 % above the Eurocurrency rate and (b) for the Term Loan Facility, either 0.125 % to 0.750 % above the base rate or 1.125 % to 1.750 % above the Eurocurrency rate. The base rate represents the greatest of: (i) Citibank, N.A.’s prime rate, (ii) 0.50 % above the federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0 % above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero. The Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR or adjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit. Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had various additional credit facilities that finance their future growth and any corresponding working capital needs. (6) On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured 364 -day revolving credit agreement up to an initial aggregate amount of $ 375.0 million , which was increased to $ 425.0 million on May 29, 2020 (the “ 364 -Day Revolving Credit Agreement”). The 364 -Day Revolving Credit Agreement expires on April 23, 2021. Interest and fees on the 364 -Day Revolving Credit Agreement advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings. 73 Table of Contents As of August 31, 2020 , no draws were made on the 364 -Day Revolving Credit Agreement. Interest is charged at a rate equal to either (i) 0.450 % , 0.525 % or 0.800 % above the base rate or (ii) 1.450 % , 1.525 % or 1.800 % above the Eurodollar rate. The base rate represents the greatest of: (i) Mizuho’s base rate, (ii) 0.50 % above the federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0 % above one-month LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.75 % . The Eurodollar rate represents adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period, subject to a floor of 0.75 % . Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders. (7) As of August 31, 2020 , the Company has $ 3.7 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Facility acts as the back-up facility for commercial paper outstanding, if any. The Company has a borrowing capacity of up to $ 1.8 billion under its commercial paper program. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has letters of credit and surety bonds with banks and insurance companies outstanding of $ 120.3 million as of August 31, 2020 . Unused letters of credit were $ 94.0 million as of August 31, 2020 . Letters of credit and surety bonds are generally available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. Debt Maturities Debt maturities as of August 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2021 $ 50,194 2022 7,672 2023 820,589 2024 30,130 2025 239,537 Thereafter 1,580,360 Total $ 2,728,482 Debt Covenants Borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements are subject to various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, effect mergers and certain transactions, and effect certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the revolving credit facilities and the 4.900 % Senior Notes contain debt leverage and interest coverage covenants. The Company is also subject to certain covenants requiring the Company to offer to repurchase the 4.700 % , 4.900 % , 3.950 % , 3.600 % or 3.000 % Senior Notes upon a change of control. As of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. Fair Value Refer to Note 17 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the estimated fair values of the Company’s notes payable and long-term debt. 8 . Asset-Backed Securitization Programs The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable, at a discount, under its foreign asset-backed securitization program and its North American asset-backed securitization program to special purpose entities, which in turn sell certain of the receivables under the foreign program to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution and certain of the receivables under the North American program to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis. The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the asset-backed securitization programs. Servicing fees related to each of the asset-backed securitization programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities. Transfers of the receivables under the asset-backed securitization programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the asset-backed securitization programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 74 Table of Contents The special purpose entity in the foreign asset-backed securitization program is a separate bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of this special purpose entity as the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, the special purpose entity associated with the foreign asset-backed securitization program is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of August 31, 2020 , the special purpose entity has liabilities for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company (primary beneficiary). The liabilities cannot exceed the maximum amount of net cash proceeds under the foreign asset-backed securitization program. The foreign asset-backed securitization program contains a guarantee of payment by the special purpose entity, in an amount approximately equal to the net cash proceeds under the program. No liability has been recorded for obligations under the guarantee as of August 31, 2020 . The special purpose entity in the North American asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the North American asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of August 31, 2020 . Following is a summary of the asset-backed securitization programs and key terms: Maximum Amount of Net Cash Proceeds (in millions) (1)(2) Expiration Date North American $ 390.0 November 22, 2021 Foreign $ 400.0 September 30, 2021 (1) Maximum amount available at any one time. (2) As of August 31, 2020 , the Company had up to $ 49.0 million in available liquidity under its asset-backed securitization programs. In connection with the asset-backed securitization programs, the Company recognized the following (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 (3) 2018 Trade accounts receivable sold $ 4,333 $ 4,057 $ 8,386 Cash proceeds received (1) $ 4,314 $ 4,031 $ 7,838 Pre-tax losses on sale of receivables (2) $ 19 $ 26 $ 15 Deferred purchase price receivables as of August 31 $ — $ — $ 533 (1) The amounts primarily represent proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers. (2) Recorded to other expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (3) Excludes $ 650.3 million of trade accounts receivable sold, $ 488.1 million of cash and $ 13.9 million of net cash received prior to the amendment of the foreign asset-backed securitization program and under the previous North American asset-backed securitization program which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The asset-backed securitization programs require compliance with several covenants. The North American asset-backed securitization program covenants include compliance with the interest ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the five-year unsecured credit facility entered into on January 22, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”). The foreign asset-backed securitization program covenants include limitations on certain corporate actions such as mergers and consolidations. As of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the asset-backed securitization programs. 9 . Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands): 75 Table of Contents August 31, 2020 August 31, 2019 Contract liabilities (1) $ 496,219 $ 511,329 Accrued compensation and employee benefits 703,250 600,907 Obligation associated with securitization programs 494,042 475,251 Other accrued expenses 1,518,017 1,402,657 Accrued expenses $ 3,211,528 $ 2,990,144 (1) Revenue recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance as of August 31, 2019 and September 1, 2018 was $ 308.1 million and $ 404.0 million , respectively. 10 . Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits Postretirement Benefits The Company has a qualified defined benefit pension plan for employees of Jabil Circuit UK Limited (the “UK plan”). The UK plan, which is closed to new participants, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over a three -year service period preceding retirement and length of employee service. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in UK employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company. As a result of the third closing of the JJMD acquisition, the Company assumed a pension obligation for employees in Switzerland (the “Switzerland plan”). The Switzerland plan, which is a qualified defined benefit pension plan, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over an approximately 8 years service period preceding retirement and length of employee service. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in Switzerland employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company. Additionally, as a result of acquiring various other operations in Europe, Asia and Mexico the Company assumed both qualified and unfunded nonqualified retirement benefits covering eligible employees who meet age and service requirements (the “other plans”). The UK plan, Switzerland plan and other plans are collectively referred to herein as the “plans.” Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets The benefit obligations and plan assets, changes to the benefit obligation and plan assets and the funded status of the plans as of and for the fiscal years ended August 31 are as follows (in thousands): 76 Table of Contents Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 Change in projected benefit obligation Beginning projected benefit obligation $ 174,690 $ 161,104 Service cost 24,606 1,437 Interest cost 3,041 3,715 Actuarial (gain) loss ( 81,409 ) 19,060 Settlements paid from plan assets (1) ( 25,749 ) — Total benefits paid ( 6,431 ) ( 6,568 ) Plan participants’ contributions 14,171 35 Acquisitions 404,297 6,040 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars 51,887 ( 10,133 ) Ending projected benefit obligation $ 559,103 $ 174,690 Change in plan assets Beginning fair value of plan assets 158,101 151,715 Actual return on plan assets 6,952 19,784 Acquisitions 330,793 — Settlements paid from plan assets (1) ( 25,749 ) — Employer contributions 10,084 1,717 Benefits paid from plan assets ( 5,765 ) ( 5,435 ) Plan participants’ contributions 14,171 35 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars 49,686 ( 9,715 ) Ending fair value of plan assets $ 538,273 $ 158,101 Unfunded status $ ( 20,830 ) $ ( 16,589 ) Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Accrued benefit liability, current $ 646 $ 368 Accrued benefit liability, noncurrent $ 20,184 $ 16,221 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (2) Actuarial (gain) loss, before tax $ ( 49,054 ) $ 24,343 Prior service cost, before tax $ 786 $ 690 (1) The settlements recognized during fiscal year 2020 relate primarily to the Switzerland plan. (2) The Company anticipates amortizing $ 5.1 million and $ 0.0 million , before tax, of net actuarial gain and prior service costs balances, respectively, to net periodic cost in fiscal year 2021 . Net Periodic Benefit Cost The following table provides information about the net periodic benefit cost for the plans for fiscal years 2020 , 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Service cost $ 24,606 $ 1,437 $ 1,063 Interest cost 3,041 3,715 3,807 Expected long-term return on plan assets ( 14,115 ) ( 5,291 ) ( 5,954 ) Recognized actuarial (gain) loss ( 4,159 ) 741 1,127 Amortization of prior service credit ( 45 ) ( 44 ) ( 88 ) Net settlement loss 230 634 116 Net periodic benefit cost $ 9,558 $ 1,192 $ 71 Assumptions Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligation for the plans for the fiscal years 2020 , 2019 and 2018 were as follows: 77 Table of Contents Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Net periodic benefit cost: Expected long-term return on plan assets (1) 3.0 % 3.6 % 3.8 % Rate of compensation increase 2.0 % 4.4 % 3.3 % Discount rate 0.5 % 2.2 % 2.1 % Projected benefit obligation: Expected long-term return on plan assets 2.9 % 2.0 % 3.6 % Rate of compensation increase 2.1 % 4.3 % 4.4 % Discount rate (2) 0.8 % 1.7 % 2.2 % (1) The expected return on plan assets assumption used in calculating net periodic benefit cost is based on historical return experience and estimates of future long-term performance with consideration to the expected investment mix of the plan. (2) The discount rate is used to state expected cash flows relating to future benefits at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments whose timing would match the cash outflow of retirement benefits. Other assumptions include demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover. Plan Assets The Company has adopted an investment policy for a majority of plan assets, which was set by plan trustees who have the responsibility for making investment decisions related to the plan assets. The plan trustees oversee the investment allocation, including selecting professional investment managers and setting strategic targets. The investment objectives for the assets are (1) to acquire suitable assets that hold the appropriate liquidity in order to generate income and capital growth that, along with new contributions, will meet the cost of current and future benefits under the plan, (2) to limit the risk of the plan assets from failing to meet the plan liabilities over the long-term and (3) to minimize the long-term costs under the plan by maximizing the return on the plan assets. Investment policies and strategies governing the assets of the plans are designed to achieve investment objectives with prudent risk parameters. Risk management practices include the use of external investment managers; the maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach and security holdings; and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due. Within the equity securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly traded securities including both domestic and international stocks. Within the debt securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in corporate bonds as well as fixed and variable interest debt instruments. The Company currently expects to achieve a target mix of 35 % equity and 65 % debt securities in fiscal year 2021 . Fair Value The fair values of the plan assets held by the Company by asset category are as follows (in thousands): August 31, 2020 August 31, 2019 Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value Asset Allocation Fair Value Asset Allocation Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents (1) Level 1 $ 14,900 3 % $ 7,705 5 % Equity Securities: Global equity securities (2)(3) Level 2 208,384 38 % 20,215 13 % Debt Securities: Corporate bonds (3) Level 2 237,812 44 % 42,522 27 % Government bonds (3) Level 2 58,095 11 % 69,880 44 % Other Investments: Insurance contracts (4) Level 3 19,082 4 % 17,779 11 % Fair value of plan assets $ 538,273 100 % $ 158,101 100 % (1) Carrying value approximates fair value. (2) Investments in equity securities by companies incorporated, listed or domiciled in developed and/or emerging market countries. 78 Table of Contents (3) Investments in global equity securities, corporate bonds, government securities and government bonds are valued using the quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. (4) Consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to the Company. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value and is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract. Accumulated Benefit Obligation The following table provides information for the plans with an accumulated benefit obligation for fiscal years 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): August 31, 2020 August 31, 2019 Projected benefit obligation $ 559,103 $ 174,690 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 535,513 $ 161,729 Fair value of plan assets $ 538,273 $ 158,101 Cash Flows The Company expects to make cash contributions between $ 21.7 million and $ 26.6 million to its funded pension plans during fiscal year 2021 . The estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Amount 2021 $ 36,361 2022 28,541 2023 27,958 2024 27,531 2025 28,942 2026 through 2030 137,521 Profit Sharing, 401(k) Plan and Defined Contribution Plans The Company provides retirement benefits to its domestic employees who have completed a 30-day period of service through a 401(k) plan that provides a matching contribution by the Company. The Company also has defined contribution benefit plans for certain of its international employees. The Company contributed approximately $ 56.1 million , $ 49.0 million and $ 40.5 million for defined contribution plans for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018 , respectively. 11 . Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Foreign Currency Risk Management Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $ 355.2 million and $ 334.1 million as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between September 1, 2020 and August 31, 2021 . 79 Table of Contents In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding contracts as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , was $ 2.9 billion and $ 2.5 billion , respectively. Refer to Note 17 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the fair values and classification of the Company’s derivative instruments. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented and are included as components of net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expense, which are the same line items in which the hedged items are recorded. The following table presents the net gains (losses) from forward contracts recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated (in thousands): Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Under ASC 815 Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Net Income Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Net Income on Derivatives Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Forward foreign exchange contracts (1) Cost of revenue $ 42,077 $ ( 29,557 ) $ ( 27,774 ) (1) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 , the Company recognized $ 47.4 million of foreign currency losses in cost of revenue, which are offset by the gains from the forward foreign exchange contracts. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recognized $ 14.9 million and $ 36.7 million , respectively, of foreign currency gains in cost of revenue, which are offset by the losses from the forward foreign exchange contracts. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings. Cash Flow Hedges Contemporaneously with the issuance of our 3.000 % Notes in July 2020, the Company amended interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $ 200.0 million , with mandatory termination dates from August 15, 2020 to February 15, 2022 and de-designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges (the “2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps”). No ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings upon the termination of the cash flow hedges. In addition, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to offset future exposures of fluctuations in the fair value of the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps (the “Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps”). The change in the fair value of the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps and the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income through the maturity date as an adjustment to interest expense. 12 . Stockholders’ Equity The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative expense as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Restricted stock units (1) $ 73,775 $ 53,766 $ 84,082 Employee stock purchase plan 9,309 7,580 6,891 Other (2) — — 7,538 Total $ 83,084 $ 61,346 $ 98,511 (1) As a result of a modification, 0.8 million awards vested during fiscal year 2018, which resulted in approximately $ 24.9 million of stock-based compensation expense recognized during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. 80 Table of Contents (2) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, represents a one-time cash-settled stock award that vested on November 30, 2017.

The time-based restricted stock units granted generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years . The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 150 % , depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200 % , depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company. The following table summarizes restricted stock units activity from August 31, 2019 through August 31, 2020 : Shares Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding as of August 31, 2019 7,165,473 $ 26.27 Changes during the period Shares granted (1) 2,280,625 $ 42.21 Shares vested ( 2,259,623 ) $ 24.69 Shares forfeited ( 848,951 ) $ 25.77 Outstanding as of August 31, 2020 6,337,524 $ 32.64 81 Table of Contents (1) For those shares granted that are based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, the amount represents the maximum number of shares that can vest.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan The maximum aggregate number of shares that are available for issuance under the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is 12,000,000 . Employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP after 90 days of employment with the Company. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 10 % of an employee’s compensation, as defined in the ESPP, at a price equal to 85 % of the fair value of the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of August 31, 2020 , 2,290,167 shares remained available for issue under the 2011 ESPP. The fair value of shares issued under the ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the model for each respective period: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Expected dividend yield 0.4 % 0.6 % 0.6 % Risk-free interest rate 1.9 % 2.3 % 1.4 % Expected volatility (1) 30.7 % 28.6 % 23.0 % Expected life 0.5 years 0.5 years 0.5 years (1) The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatility derived from the Company’s common stock. 82 Table of Contents Dividends The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s cash dividends declared to common stockholders during fiscal years 2020 and 2019 : Dividend Declaration Date Dividend per Share Total of Cash Dividends Declared Date of Record for Dividend Payment Dividend Cash Payment Date (in thousands, except for per share data) Fiscal Year 2020: October 17, 2019 $ 0.08 $ 12,647 November 15, 2019 December 2, 2019 January 23, 2020 $ 0.08 $ 12,517 February 14, 2020 March 4, 2020 April 15, 2020 $ 0.08 $ 12,452 May 15, 2020 June 3, 2020 July 16, 2020 $ 0.08 $ 12,433 August 14, 2020 September 2, 2020 Fiscal Year 2019: October 18, 2018 $ 0.08 $ 13,226 November 15, 2018 December 3, 2018 January 24, 2019 $ 0.08 $ 12,706 February 15, 2019 March 1, 2019 April 18, 2019 $ 0.08 $ 12,681 May 15, 2019 June 3, 2019 July 18, 2019 $ 0.08 $ 12,724 August 15, 2019 September 3, 2019 Common Stock Outstanding The following represents the common stock outstanding for the fiscal year ended: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Common stock outstanding: Beginning balances 153,520,380 164,588,172 177,727,653 Shares issued upon exercise of stock options 56,999 11,348 30,832 Shares issued under employee stock purchase plan 1,106,852 1,282,042 1,105,400 Vesting of restricted stock 2,259,623 1,983,261 2,727,229 Purchases of treasury stock under employee stock plans ( 621,250 ) ( 489,836 ) ( 793,052 ) Treasury shares purchased (1)(2) ( 5,992,246 ) ( 13,854,607 ) ( 16,209,890 ) Ending balances 150,330,358 153,520,380 164,588,172 (1) During fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) authorized the repurchase of $ 350.0 million and $ 450.0 million , respectively, of the Company’s common stock under share repurchase programs, which were repurchased during fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. (2) In September 2019, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $ 600.0 million of the Company’s common stock as part of a two -year capital allocation framework (“the 2020 Share Repurchase Program”). As of August 31, 2020 , 6.0 million shares had been repurchased for $ 213.9 million and $ 386.1 million remains available under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program. 13 . Concentration of Risk and Segment Data Concentration of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various domestic and foreign financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but may generally be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions and attempts to limit exposure with any one institution. For trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on trade receivables. Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. For fiscal year 2020 , the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 47 % of its net revenue and 73 customers accounted for approximately 90 % of its net revenue. As the Company is a provider of manufacturing services and solutions and products are built based on customer specifications, it is impracticable to provide revenues from external customers for each product and service. Sales to the following customer that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues, expressed as a percentage of consolidated net revenue, and the percentage of accounts receivable for the customer, were as follows: 83 Table of Contents Percentage of Net Revenue Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Percentage of Accounts Receivable as of August 31, 2020 2019 2018 2020 2019 Apple, Inc. (1) 20 % 22 % 28 % * * Amazon.com (2) 11 % * * * * * Amount was less than 10% of total. (1) Sales to this customer were reported in the DMS operating segment. (2) Sales to this customer were reported primarily in the EMS operating segment. The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Some of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source. Segment Data Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses; for which separate financial information is available; and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess the performance of the individual segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. The Company derives its revenue from providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources on a segment basis. The Company’s operating segments consist of two segments – EMS and DMS, which are also the Company’s reportable segments. The segments are organized based on the economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing capabilities, market strategy, margins, return on capital and risk profiles. The EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, utilizing the Company’s large scale manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to serve a broad range of end markets. The EMS segment is a high volume business that produces products at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in larger quantities and includes customers primarily in the automotive and transportation, capital equipment, cloud, computing and storage, defense and aerospace, industrial and energy, networking and telecommunications, print and retail, and smart home and appliances industries. The DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions, with an emphasis on material sciences, technologies and healthcare. The DMS segment includes customers primarily in the edge devices and accessories, healthcare, mobility and packaging industries. Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment income does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition and integration charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, loss on securities, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, other expense (excluding certain components of net periodic benefit cost), interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Total segment assets are defined as accounts receivable, inventories, net, customer-related property, plant and equipment, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization and goodwill. All other non-segment assets are reviewed on a global basis by management. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties. As of September 1, 2020, certain customers have been realigned within the Company’s operating segments. As there have been no changes to how the Company’s CODM assesses operating performance and allocates resources, the Company’s operating segments which are the reporting segments continue to consist of the DMS and EMS segments. Beginning in fiscal year 2021, customers within the automotive and transportation and smart home and appliances industries will be presented within the DMS segment. Prior period disclosures will be restated to reflect the realignment. 84 Table of Contents The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by segment (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 EMS DMS Total EMS DMS Total Timing of transfer (1) Point in time $ 4,385,128 $ 6,045,986 $ 10,431,114 $ 2,877,082 $ 6,055,716 $ 8,932,798 Over time 12,226,894 4,608,430 16,835,324 12,553,447 3,796,075 16,349,522 Total $ 16,612,022 $ 10,654,416 $ 27,266,438 $ 15,430,529 $ 9,851,791 $ 25,282,320 (1) Effective September 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method by applying the guidance to all open contracts upon adoption and recording a cumulative effect adjustment as of September 1, 2018, net of tax, of $ 42.6 million .

These tax incentives resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $ 42.6 million ( $ 0.28 per basic share), $ 67.3 million ( $ 0.43 per basic share) and $ 52.1 million ( $ 0.30 per basic share) during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018 , respectively. (2) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 , the decrease in the impact of foreign tax rates was primarily related to decreased income in low tax rate jurisdictions. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 , the decrease in the impact of foreign tax rates was primarily due to a decrease in the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due to the Tax Act. (3) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 , the increase in the changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities was primarily due to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets related to an extension of a non-U.S. tax incentive of $ 21.2 million . For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 , the changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities included changes related to the Tax Act, excluding the impact of the enacted rate change on the U.S. valuation allowance. (4) The one-time transition tax impact for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 was due to the comprehensive tax legislation enacted on December 22, 2017, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”). The enacted changes included a mandatory income inclusion of the historically untaxed foreign earnings of a U.S. company’s foreign subsidiaries and effectively taxed such income at reduced tax rates (“transition tax”). The calculation of the one-time transition tax is based upon post-1986 earnings and profits, applicable foreign tax credits 88 Table of Contents and relevant limitations, utilization of U.S. federal net operating losses and tax credits and the amount of foreign earnings held in cash and non-cash assets. (5) As a result of the Tax Act, the Company made a change to the indefinite reinvestment assertion for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 resulting in foreign withholding taxes that would be incurred upon such future remittances of cash. (6) The valuation allowance change for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 was primarily due to the increase in deferred tax assets for sites with existing valuation allowances. The valuation allowance change for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 was primarily due to utilization of domestic federal net operating losses and tax credits against the one-time transition tax and the change in enacted tax rate applied to U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 . The increase for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 was partially offset by an income tax benefit of $ 17.5 million for the reversal of a U.S. valuation allowance due to an intangible asset reclassification from indefinite-life to finite-life. (7) GILTI, a newly defined category of foreign subsidiary income which is taxable to U.S. shareholders each year, applied beginning in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 and primarily results in the utilization of current year U.S. federal operating losses. The Company records the effects of GILTI as a period cost. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized below (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 197,516 $ 183,297 Receivables 7,749 6,165 Inventories 10,917 9,590 Compensated absences 12,292 10,401 Accrued expenses 85,363 81,731 Property, plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation and amortization 42,484 66,268 Domestic tax credits 29,426 42,464 Foreign jurisdiction tax credits 15,282 15,345 Equity compensation 11,369 9,796 Domestic interest carryforwards 4,846 5,853 Cash flow hedges 9,064 9,878 Capital loss carryforwards 20,087 7,799 Revenue recognition 43,376 19,195 Operating lease liabilities 89,424 — Other 18,120 21,907 Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowances 597,315 489,689 Less valuation allowances ( 341,200 ) ( 287,604 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 256,115 $ 202,085 Deferred tax liabilities: Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries 76,711 75,387 Intangible assets 32,262 39,242 Operating lease assets 83,311 — Other 13,081 4,447 Total deferred tax liabilities $ 205,365 $ 119,076 Net deferred tax assets $ 50,750 $ 83,009 Based on the Company’s historical operating income, projection of future taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded. As of August 31, 2020 , the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from its foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not already been recorded. The accumulated earnings are the most significant component 89 Table of Contents of the basis difference which is indefinitely reinvested. As of August 31, 2020 , the indefinitely reinvested earnings in foreign subsidiaries upon which taxes had not been provided were approximately $ 2.4 billion . The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these reinvested earnings was approximately $ 0.2 billion . Tax Carryforwards The amount and expiration dates of income tax net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and tax capital loss carryforwards, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any, as of August 31, 2020 are as follows: (dollars in thousands) Last Fiscal Year of Expiration Amount Income tax net operating loss carryforwards: (1) Domestic - state 2040 or indefinite $ 57,131 Foreign 2030 or indefinite $ 667,388 Tax credit carryforwards: (1) Domestic - federal 2030 $ 26,315 Domestic - state 2027 or indefinite $ 3,858 Foreign (2) 2027 or indefinite $ 15,282 Tax capital loss carryforwards: (3) Domestic - federal 2025 $ 78,700 (1) Net of unrecognized tax benefits. (2) Calculated based on the deferral method and includes foreign investment tax credits. (3) The tax capital loss carryforwards were primarily from an impairment of an investment that was deemed worthless for tax purposes. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits is summarized below (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2020 2019 2018 Beginning balance $ 164,383 $ 256,705 $ 201,355 Additions for tax positions of prior years 9,841 20,158 14,465 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (1) ( 9,346 ) ( 106,252 ) ( 21,045 ) Additions for tax positions related to current year (2) 26,360 35,769 81,866 Cash settlements ( 510 ) — ( 1,659 ) Reductions from lapses in statutes of limitations ( 1,054 ) ( 2,570 ) ( 7,496 ) Reductions from non-cash settlements with taxing authorities (3) ( 2,226 ) ( 35,582 ) ( 5,928 ) Foreign exchange rate adjustment 2,345 ( 3,845 ) ( 4,853 ) Ending balance $ 189,793 $ 164,383 $ 256,705 Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate (if recognized) $ 108,551 $ 93,237 $ 117,455 (1) The reductions for tax positions of prior years for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 are primarily related to a non-U.S. taxing authority ruling related to certain non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, offset with a valuation allowance and the impacts of the Tax Act. (2) The additions for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 are primarily related to taxation of certain intercompany transactions. The additions for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 are primarily related to the impacts of the Tax Act and taxation of certain intercompany transactions. (3) The reductions from settlements with taxing authorities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 are primarily related to the settlement of a U.S. audit. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties were approximately $ 22.8 million and $ 18.9 million as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 , 90 Table of Contents respectively. The Company recognized interest and penalties of approximately $ 3.9 million , $( 1.5 ) million and $( 6.7 ) million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018 , respectively. It is reasonably possible that the August 31, 2020 unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by $ 4.9 million , primarily related to a taxing authority agreement associated with intercompany transactions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2015. In major non-U.S. and state jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively. 16 . Business Acquisitions Fiscal years 2019 and 2020 Acquisitions During fiscal year 2018, the Company and Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”) entered into a Framework Agreement to form a strategic collaboration and expand its existing relationship. The strategic collaboration expands the Company’s medical device manufacturing portfolio, diversification and capabilities. On February 25, 2019 and April 29, 2019, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company completed the initial and second closings, respectively, of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The aggregate purchase price paid for the initial and second closings was approximately $ 167.4 million in cash. For the initial and second closings, total assets acquired of $ 173.5 million and total liabilities assumed of $ 6.1 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. On September 30, 2019, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company completed the third closing of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The aggregate purchase price paid for the third closing was approximately $ 113.1 million in cash. For the third closing, total assets acquired of $ 196.2 million , including $ 80.7 million in contract assets, $ 34.0 million in inventory and $ 56.0 million in goodwill, and total liabilities assumed of $ 83.1 million , including $ 73.5 million of pension obligations, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. There were no intangible assets identified in this acquisition and the goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill is currently not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisitions of the JJMD assets have been accounted for as separate business combinations for each closing using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on February 25, 2019 for the initial closing, April 29, 2019 for the second closing and September 30, 2019 for the third closing. The Company believes it is impracticable to provide pro forma information for the acquisitions of the JJMD assets. Fiscal year 2018 Acquisitions On September 1, 2017 , the Company completed the acquisition of True-Tech Corporation (“True-Tech”) for approximately $ 95.9 million in cash. True-Tech is a manufacturer specializing in aerospace, semiconductor and medical machined components. The acquisition of True-Tech assets was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired of $ 114.7 million , including $ 25.9 million in intangible assets and $ 22.6 million in goodwill, and liabilities assumed of $ 18.8 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was recorded to goodwill and was fully allocated to the EMS segment. The majority of the goodwill is currently expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on September 1, 2017. Pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisition of True-Tech is not deemed to be significant. 17 .

New Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard revising lease accounting, which requires the Company to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. The accounting standard became effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020. Refer to Note 5 - “Leases” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. During fiscal year 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities by simplifying the application of hedge accounting and improving the related disclosures in its financial statements. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2020. The guidance was applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net 93 Table of Contents amount expected to be collected. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective or prospective transition method, depending on the area covered by this accounting standard. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. During fiscal year 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company does not expect this new standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference U.S. dollar LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this update are elective and were effective for the Company immediately upon issuance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the transition from U.S. dollar LIBOR to alternative reference rates but does not expect this new standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently issued accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable or did not have, or is not expected to have, a material impact to the Company. Item 16.
