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, 2023. 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, 2023. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2023 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, 2023, 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, 2023. (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting For our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2023, 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 Rule 13a-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, 2023. 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. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of August 31, 2023, 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 20, 2023 48 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors 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, 2023, 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, 2023, based on the COSO criteria. 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a), and our report dated October 20, 2023 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 20, 2023 49 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 20, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 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. 50 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 internal controls over the Company’s process to assess the technical merits of tax positions related to certain intercompany transactions and also tested internal 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. Lastly, we evaluated the Company’s income tax disclosures included in Note 15 in relation to the Company’s uncertain tax positions. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010.

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. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies assets and related liabilities as held for sale when: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the net assets, (ii) the net assets are available for immediate sale, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the sale and transfer of the net assets is probable within one year, (v) the net assets are being actively marketed for sale at price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the net assets. Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented separately on our consolidated balance sheets at the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization expense for long-lived assets are not recorded while these assets are classified as held for sale. For each period that assets are classified as being held for sale, they are tested for recoverability. See Note 16 – “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional information. 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 credit losses based on historical losses, the age of past due receivables, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for credit losses 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 provides consideration 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 maintains an allowance for credit losses related to contract assets based on historical losses, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. 57 Table of Contents 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 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, 2023 and 2022, capitalized costs to fulfill were $ 203 million and $ 175 million, respectively. Amortization of fulfillment costs were $ 91 million, $ 74 million and $ 58 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Immaterial impairments for fulfillment costs were recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 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 The Company primarily has leases for buildings, machinery and equipment with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 33 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 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. 58 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 Sheets. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for building and real estate leases. 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 loss recognized in the amount equal to that excess. 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 designated and qualify as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is included in change in foreign currency translation in OCI to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged until the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged foreign operation. 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 59 Table of Contents 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 The following table sets forth the changes in AOCI, net of tax, by component during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 (in millions): Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Net Investment Hedges Derivative Instruments Actuarial Gain (Loss) Prior Service (Cost) Credit Total Balance as of August 31, 2022 $ ( 88 ) $ — $ ( 3 ) $ 65 $ ( 16 ) $ ( 42 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 29 ( 4 ) ( 25 ) ( 5 ) ( 2 ) ( 7 ) Amounts reclassified from AOCI — — 42 ( 14 ) 4 32 Other comprehensive income (loss) (1) 29 ( 4 ) 17 ( 19 ) 2 25 Balance as of August 31, 2023 $ ( 59 ) $ ( 4 ) $ 14 $ 46 $ ( 14 ) $ ( 17 ) (1) Amounts are net of tax, which are immaterial.

(2) Amounts are included in the computation of net periodic benefit 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, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 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. 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. 60 Table of Contents 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. The Company is responsible for procuring certain components from suppliers for the manufacturing of finished goods at the direction of certain customers. If the Company does not obtain control of these components before they are transferred to the customer, the Company accounts for revenue associated with such components on a net basis. Revenue associated with components procured directly from customers is accounted for on a net basis if the components do not constitute a distinct good or service from the customer. Taxes collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statements 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. 61 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 (“DTAs”) and liabilities (“DTLs”) 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. DTAs and DTLs 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 DTAs and DTLs 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 DTAs 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 records the effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a period cost and applies the incremental cash tax savings approach when analyzing the impact 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. 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, 2023 2022 2021 Restricted stock units 383.1 209.4 655.0 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, 2023, 2022 and 2021 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. 62 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 (in millions): Program Maximum Amount (1) Type of Facility Expiration Date A $ 700 Uncommitted December 5, 2025 (2) B $ 120 Uncommitted (2) C 400 CNY Uncommitted August 31, 2023 (2) D $ 150 Uncommitted May 4, 2028 (2) E $ 150 Uncommitted (3) F $ 50 Uncommitted (3) G $ 100 Uncommitted (2) H $ 600 Uncommitted December 5, 2024 (2) I $ 135 Uncommitted April 11, 2025 (2) J 100 CHF Uncommitted December 5, 2025 (2) K 8,100 INR Uncommitted (2) (1) Maximum amount of trade accounts receivable that may be sold under a facility at any one time.

Asset-Backed Securitization Programs Global asset-backed securitization program - Effective August 20, 2021, the global securitization program (formerly referred to as the North American asset-backed securitization program) terms were amended to: (i) add a foreign entity to the program, (ii) increase the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available at any one time from $ 390 million to $ 600 million and (iii) extend the expiration date of the program to November 25, 2024. The facility limit was increased to $ 700 million for the month of August 2023. As of August 31, 2023, the Company had no available liquidity under its global asset-backed securitization program. Certain entities participating in the global asset-backed securitization program continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis. In addition, the foreign entity participating in the global asset-backed securitization program sells certain receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a daily basis. The special purpose entity in the global 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 up to the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the domestic, or U.S., portion of the global asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of August 31, 2023. Foreign asset-backed securitization program - The Company terminated the foreign asset-backed securitization program on June 28, 2021. In connection with the termination, the Company paid approximately $ 167 million in cash, which consisted of: (i) $ 68 million for the remittance of collections received prior to June 28, 2021, in the Company’s role as servicer of sold receivables and (ii) a repurchase of $ 99 million of all previously sold receivables, at fair value, that remained outstanding as of June 28, 2021. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had substantially collected the repurchased receivables from customers. Global and foreign asset-backed securitization programs- The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under the global asset-backed securitization programs. Servicing fees related to each of the asset-backed securitization programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 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. 68 Table of Contents 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. In connection with the asset-backed securitization programs, the Company recognized the following (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2021 (3) Trade accounts receivable sold $ 4,101 $ 3,932 $ 4,222 Cash proceeds received (1) $ 4,061 $ 3,919 $ 4,202 Proceeds due from bank $ — $ — $ 10 Pre-tax losses on sale of receivables (2) $ 40 $ 13 $ 10 (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) Includes trade accounts receivable sold and cash proceeds received under the foreign asset-backed securitization program through June 28, 2021, except for $ 99 million of previously sold receivables that were repurchased. The global asset-backed securitization program requires compliance with several covenants including compliance with the interest ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the Credit Facility. As of August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the global asset-backed securitization program. As of August 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the global and foreign asset-backed securitization programs. 9.

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. The Company also has a qualified defined benefit pension plan for employees in Switzerland (the “Switzerland plan”). The Switzerland plan provides benefits based on average employee earnings over an approximately 8 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 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.” 69 Table of Contents Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets The projected benefit obligations (“PBO”) and plan assets, changes to the PBO and plan assets and the funded status of the plans as of and for the fiscal years ended August 31 are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 Change in PBO Beginning PBO $ 432 $ 587 Service cost 18 25 Interest cost 12 4 Actuarial gain ( 23 ) ( 119 ) Settlements paid from plan assets (1) ( 27 ) ( 28 ) Total benefits paid ( 16 ) ( 13 ) Plan participants’ contributions 22 21 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars 43 ( 45 ) Ending PBO $ 461 $ 432 Change in plan assets Beginning fair value of plan assets 459 576 Actual return on plan assets ( 16 ) ( 68 ) Settlements paid from plan assets (1) ( 27 ) ( 28 ) Employer contributions 18 16 Benefits paid from plan assets ( 15 ) ( 12 ) Plan participants’ contributions 22 21 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars 45 ( 46 ) Ending fair value of plan assets $ 486 $ 459 Funded status $ 25 $ 27 Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Accrued benefit liability, current $ 1 $ 1 Accrued benefit asset, noncurrent $ 26 $ 28 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (2) Actuarial gain, before tax $ ( 71 ) $ ( 85 ) Prior service cost, before tax $ 16 $ 18 (1) The settlements recognized during fiscal years 2023 and 2022 relate primarily to the Switzerland plan. (2) The Company anticipates amortizing $ 10 million and $ 4 million, before tax, of net actuarial gain and prior service costs balances, respectively, to net periodic cost in fiscal year 2024. Accumulated Benefit Obligation The following table summarizes the total accumulated benefit obligations (“ABO”), the ABO and fair value of plan assets for defined benefit pension plans with ABO in excess of plan assets, and the PBO and fair value of plan assets for defined benefit pension plans with PBO in excess of plan assets for fiscal years 2023 and 2022 (in millions): August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 ABO $ 441 $ 417 Plans with ABO in excess of plan assets ABO $ 41 $ 41 Fair value of plan assets $ 15 $ 19 Plans with PBO in excess of plan assets PBO $ 52 $ 51 Fair value of plan assets $ 15 $ 19 Net Periodic Benefit Cost The following table provides information about the net periodic benefit cost for the plans for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in millions): 70 Table of Contents Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2021 Service cost (1) $ 18 $ 25 $ 25 Interest cost (2) 12 4 5 Expected long-term return on plan assets (2) ( 17 ) ( 17 ) ( 16 ) Recognized actuarial gain (2) ( 7 ) ( 6 ) ( 10 ) Amortization of actuarial gains (2)(3) ( 7 ) ( 8 ) ( 6 ) Net settlement loss (2) — 1 1 Amortization of prior service costs (2) 4 4 1 Net periodic benefit cost $ 3 $ 3 $ — (1) Service cost is recognized in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (2) Components are recognized in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (3) Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach. The gain/loss corridor is equal to 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Gains and losses in excess of the corridor are generally amortized over the average future working lifetime of the plan participants. Assumptions Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and PBO for the plans for the fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2021 Net periodic benefit cost: Expected long-term return on plan assets (1) 3.6 % 3.0 % 2.9 % Rate of compensation increase 2.1 % 2.2 % 2.1 % Discount rate 2.6 % 0.7 % 0.8 % PBO: Expected long-term return on plan assets 3.7 % 3.6 % 3.0 % Rate of compensation increase 1.9 % 2.1 % 2.2 % Discount rate (2) 2.8 % 2.6 % 0.7 % (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 40 % equity and 60 % debt securities in fiscal year 2024. 71 Table of Contents Fair Value The fair values of the plan assets held by the Company by asset category are as follows (in millions): August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value Asset Allocation Fair Value Asset Allocation Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents (1) Level 1 $ 17 3 % $ 13 3 % Equity Securities: Global equity securities (2)(3) Level 2 213 44 % 197 43 % Debt Securities: Corporate bonds (3) Level 2 216 45 % 203 44 % Government bonds (3) Level 2 30 6 % 34 7 % Other Investments: Insurance contracts (4) Level 3 10 2 % 12 3 % Fair value of plan assets $ 486 100 % $ 459 100 % (1) Carrying value approximates fair value. (2) Investments in equity securities by companies incorporated, listed or domiciled in developed and/or emerging market countries. (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. Cash Flows The Company expects to make cash contributions between $ 25 million and $ 30 million to its funded pension plans during fiscal year 2024. The estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Amount 2024 $ 34 2025 $ 29 2026 $ 29 2027 $ 33 2028 $ 31 2029 through 2033 $ 156 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 $ 74 million, $ 63 million and $ 56 million for defined contribution plans for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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. 72 Table of Contents 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 $ 491 million and $ 1.4 billion as of August 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and August 31, 2024. 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, 2023 and 2022, was $ 4.0 billion and $ 3.4 billion, respectively. The gains and losses on cash flow hedges recognized in earnings due to amounts 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. In addition, the Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign currency denominated operations, which are designated as net investment hedges. The maturity dates and aggregate notional amount outstanding of net investment hedges are as follows (in millions): Maturity date August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 September 2023 $ 34 $ — October 2023 96 — January 2024 96 — April 2024 68 — July 2024 102 — Total $ 396 $ — The gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in change in foreign currency translation in OCI to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged until the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged foreign operation. The amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented and are recognized in interest expense, net. Refer to Note 17 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the fair values and classification of the Company’s derivative instruments. The following table presents the net (losses) gains from forward contracts recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated (in millions): Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Under ASC 815 Location of (Loss) Gain on Derivatives Recognized in Net Income Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Net Income on Derivatives Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2021 Forward foreign exchange contracts (1) Cost of revenue $ ( 111 ) $ ( 71 ) $ 140 (1) For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 58 million and $ 87 million, respectively, of foreign currency gains in cost of revenue, which are offset by the losses from the forward foreign exchange contracts. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized $ 105 million of foreign currency losses in cost of revenue, which are offset by gains from the forward foreign contracts. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings or anticipated debt issuances. 73 Table of Contents Contemporaneously with the issuance of the 5.450 % Senior Notes in April 2023, the Company settled cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $ 150 million and $ 100 million, with effective dates of May 2021 and August 2022, respectively. The cash received for the cash flow hedges at settlement was $ 15 million. The settled cash flow hedges are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI and are amortized to interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of August 31, 2023, there are no outstanding interest rate swaps. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the 4.250 % Senior Notes in April 2022, the Company settled cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $ 250 million and $ 170 million, with effective dates of November 2020 and March 2022, respectively. The cash received for the cash flow hedges at settlement was $ 46 million. The settled cash flow hedges are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI and are amortized to interest expense, net in the Statements of Operations. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the 3.000 % Senior Notes in July 2020, the Company amended interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $ 200 million, with mandatory termination dates from August 15, 2020 through February 15, 2022 (the “2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps”). 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 fair value of the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps and Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations through the maturity date of February 15, 2022, as an adjustment to interest expense, net. 12.

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 expected credit losses on trade receivables. Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. For fiscal year 2023, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 42 % of its net revenue and 84 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 customers 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 customers, were as follows: 76 Table of Contents Percentage of Net Revenue Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Percentage of Accounts Receivable as of August 31, 2023 2022 2021 2023 2022 Apple, Inc. (1) 17 % 19 % 22 % * * * Amount was less than 10% of total. (1) Sales to this customer were reported in the DMS 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 product at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in larger quantities and includes customers primarily in the 5G, wireless and cloud, digital print and retail, industrial and semi-capital equipment, and networking and storage 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 automotive and transportation, connected devices, healthcare and packaging, and mobility 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, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, loss on debt extinguishment, (gain) loss on securities, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, other expense (excluding certain components of net periodic benefit cost), interest expense, net, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Total segment assets are defined as accounts receivable, contract assets, 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. 77 Table of Contents The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by segment (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2021 EMS DMS Total EMS DMS Total EMS DMS Total Timing of transfer Point in time $ 5,094 $ 6,453 $ 11,547 $ 6,112 $ 6,818 $ 12,930 $ 4,464 $ 7,183 $ 11,647 Over time 11,655 11,500 23,155 10,625 9,923 20,548 9,440 8,198 17,638 Total $ 16,749 $ 17,953 $ 34,702 $ 16,737 $ 16,741 $ 33,478 $ 13,904 $ 15,381 $ 29,285 The following tables set forth operating segment information (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 2021 Segment income and reconciliation of income before income tax EMS $ 837 $ 727 $ 509 DMS 896 816 732 Total segment income $ 1,733 $ 1,543 $ 1,241 Reconciling items: Amortization of intangibles ( 33 ) ( 34 ) ( 47 ) Stock-based compensation expense and related charges ( 95 ) ( 81 ) ( 102 ) Restructuring, severance and related charges ( 57 ) ( 18 ) ( 10 ) Business interruption and impairment charges, net — — 1 Acquisition and integration charges — — ( 4 ) Loss on debt extinguishment — ( 4 ) — Gain on securities — — 2 Other expense (net of periodic benefit cost) ( 80 ) ( 29 ) ( 13 ) Interest expense, net ( 206 ) ( 146 ) ( 124 ) Income before income tax $ 1,262 $ 1,231 $ 944 August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Total assets: EMS $ 4,859 $ 5,402 DMS 6,802 8,881 Assets held for sale (1) 1,929 — Other non-allocated assets 5,834 5,434 Total $ 19,424 $ 19,717 (1) Assets held for sale were reported in the DMS operating segment.

Except for asset write-off costs, all restructuring, severance and related charges are cash costs. 2024 Restructuring Plan On September 26, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to (i) realign the Company’s cost base for stranded costs associated with the Company’s sale and realignment of its mobility business and (ii) optimize the Company’s 79 Table of Contents global footprint. This action includes headcount reductions across our Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) cost base and capacity realignment (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”). The 2024 Restructuring Plan reflects the Company’s intention only and restructuring decisions, and the timing of such decisions, at certain locations are still subject to consultation with the Company’s employees and their representatives. The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $ 300 million in pre-tax restructuring and other related costs over the course of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year. This information will be subject to the finalization of timetables for the transition of functions, consultation with employees and their representatives as well as the statutory severance requirements of the jurisdictions impacted, and the amount and timing of the actual charges may vary due to a variety of factors. The Company’s estimates for the charges discussed above exclude any potential income tax effects. 15.

(2) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the valuation allowance change was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $ 26 million for the reversal of a portion of the U.S. valuation allowance and decreased deferred tax assets with corresponding valuation allowances due to the liquidation of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. (3) As a result of certain operations being classified as held for sale, the Company made a change to its indefinite reinvestment assertions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023.

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 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, 2023, 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 of the basis difference which is indefinitely reinvested. As of August 31, 2023, the indefinitely reinvested earnings in foreign subsidiaries upon which taxes had not been provided were approximately $ 0.9 billion. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these reinvested earnings was approximately $ 0.1 billion.

The Company’s accrued interest and penalties were approximately $ 31 million and $ 30 million as of August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest and penalties of approximately $ 3 million, $ 0 million and $ 7 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the August 31, 2023 unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by $ 150 million, primarily related to taxing authority agreements associated with intercompany transactions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2018. In major non-U.S. and state jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2009, respectively. 16. Business Acquisitions and Divestitures The Company announced on September 26, 2023 that, through its indirect subsidiary, Jabil Circuit (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private limited company (“Singapore Seller”), it has agreed to sell to BYD Electronic (International) Co. Ltd., a Hong Kong limited liability company (“Purchaser” or “BYDE”), its product manufacturing business in Chengdu, including its supporting component manufacturing in Wuxi (the “Business”) for cash consideration of approximately $ 2.2 billion, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The sale is being made pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Purchase 82 Table of Contents Agreement”) for the sale and purchase of certain assets of Singapore Seller and the shares of Juno Singapore Target Newco Pte. Ltd. (the “Target”). Following a pre-closing reorganization (the “Reorganization”), the Target will hold, indirectly or directly, the Business. Pursuant to the Preliminary Acquisition Agreement, dated August 26, 2023, by and between Purchaser and Singapore Seller and the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser paid an aggregate deposit in the amount of $ 440 million, of which $ 132 million was paid to an escrow agent and $ 308 million was paid to the Company. Singapore Seller is entitled to retain the deposits in all circumstances, except in the event of a termination of the Purchase Agreement by Purchaser due to Singapore Seller’s breach of any warranty or failure to comply with any covenant applicable to it that would cause any closing condition of Purchaser to not be satisfied. Purchaser is entitled to repayment of $ 390 million of the deposit if on April 1, 2024 (i) the Reorganization has not been completed in all material respects, other than as a result of the failure to obtain regulatory approvals in the People’s Republic of China, and (ii) all other mutual conditions and conditions of Singapore Seller to closing have been satisfied. The transaction is anticipated to close within the first two quarters of the Company’s current fiscal year 2024 (which is the period from September 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024). The closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement that include, among other things, receipt of regulatory approvals, accuracy of the warranties of the parties (subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Purchase Agreement), completion of the Reorganization in all material respects, and material performance of certain respective obligations. The closing of the transaction is not conditioned on the receipt of financing. As of August 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the Business were classified as held for sale and the carrying value is less than the estimated fair value less cost to sell and, thus, no adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group is necessary. The planned divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations and the Company will continue to report the operating results for the Business in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in the DMS segment until the transaction is closed. Following is a summary of the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale (in millions): August 31, 2023 Assets held for sale: Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses $ 96 Inventories, net of reserve for excess and obsolete inventory 559 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 220 Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation 724 Operating lease right-of-use asset 112 Goodwill 117 Deferred income taxes 96 Liabilities held for sale: Accounts payable $ 876 Accrued expenses 364 Non-current operating lease liabilities 83 17. Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis The following table presents the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a recurring basis as of the periods indicated (in millions): 83 Table of Contents Fair Value Hierarchy August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents: Cash equivalents Level 1 (1) $ — $ 14 Prepaid expenses and other current assets: Short-term investments Level 1 25 16 Forward foreign exchange contracts: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (2) 4 3 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (2) 20 13 Net investment hedges: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (2) 9 — Other assets: Forward interest rate swap: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (3) — 13 Liabilities: Accrued expenses: Forward foreign exchange contracts: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (2) $ 17 $ 32 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (2) 64 76 Net investment hedges: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (Note 11) Level 2 (2) 1 — (1) Consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less. (2) The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts, including cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are measured on a recurring basis at fair value, based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers. (3) Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities and under loans approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates. Notes payable and long-term debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of notes payable and long-term debt for disclosure purposes. The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's notes payable and long-term debt, by hierarchy level as of the periods indicated (in millions): August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Fair Value Hierarchy Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Notes payable and long-term debt: (Note 7 ) 4.900 % Senior Notes Level 3 (1) $ — $ — $ 300 $ 300 3.950 % Senior Notes Level 2 (2) $ 497 $ 468 $ 497 $ 471 3.600 % Senior Notes Level 2 (2) $ 496 $ 448 $ 496 $ 440 3.000 % Senior Notes Level 2 (2) $ 593 $ 502 $ 592 $ 500 1.700 % Senior Notes Level 2 (2) $ 498 $ 452 $ 497 $ 446 4.250 % Senior Notes Level 2 (2) $ 495 $ 478 $ 493 $ 483 5.450 % Senior Notes Level 2 (2) $ 296 $ 297 $ — $ — 84 Table of Contents (1) This fair value estimate is based on the Company’s indicative borrowing cost derived from discounted cash flows.
