Materials Procurement and Inventory Management.
Our manufacturing and assembly operations capitalize on our materials inventory management expertise and volume procurement capabilities. As a result, we believe that we are able to achieve highly competitive cost reductions and reduce total manufacturing cycle time for our OEM customers. Materials procurement and management consist of the planning, purchasing, expediting, and warehousing of components and materials used in the manufacturing process. In addition, our strategy includes having third-party suppliers of custom components located in our industrial parks to reduce material and transportation costs, simplify logistics and facilitate inventory management. We also use a sophisticated automated manufacturing resource planning system and enhanced electronic data interchange capabilities to ensure inventory control and optimization. Through our manufacturing resources planning system, we have real-time visibility of material availability and are able to track work in process. We utilize electronic data interchange with our customers and suppliers to implement a variety of supply chain management programs. Electronic data interchange allows customers to share demand and product forecasts, deliver purchase orders and assists suppliers with satisfying just-in-time delivery and supplier-managed inventory requirements. This also enables us to implement vendor-managed inventory solutions to increase flexibility and reduce overall capital allocation in the supply chain. We procure a wide assortment of materials, including electronic components, plastics and metals. There are a number of sources for these materials, including customers for whom we are providing systems assembly and manufacturing services. On some occasions, there have been shortages in certain electronic components, most recently with regard to connectors, capacitors, LCD panels and memory (both DRAM and Flash). However, such shortages have not had a material impact on our operating results for any periods presented. See "Risk Factors—We may be adversely affected by shortages of required electronic components."

Rigid and Flexible Printed Circuit Board ("PCB") Fabrication.
Printed circuit boards are composed of laminated materials that provide the interconnection for integrated circuits, passive and other electronic components and thus are at the heart of almost every electrical system. They are formed out of multi-layered epoxy resin and glass cloth systems with very fine traces, spaces, and plated holes (called vias) which interconnect the different layers into an extremely dense circuit network that carries the electrical signals between components. As semiconductor designs become more complex and signal speeds increase, there is an increasing demand for higher density integration on printed circuit boards, requiring higher layer counts, finer lines and spacings, smaller vias (microvias) and base materials with very low electrical loss characteristics. The manufacturing of these complex multilayer interconnect products often requires the use of sophisticated circuit interconnections between layers, and adherence to strict electrical characteristics to maintain consistent transmission speeds and impedances. The global demand for wireless

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we initiated a restructuring plan to accelerate its ability to support more
Sketch-to-Scale
tm
efforts across the Company and reposition away from historical legacy programs and structures through rationalizing its current footprint at existing sites and at corporate SG&A functions. This charge is primarily for employee terminations costs, as described in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, as well as other asset impairments, and is split between cost of sales and selling, general and administration expenses on our consolidated statement of operations. This charge is excluded from the measurement of our operating segment's performance.

The goodwill generated from the Company's business combinations completed during the fiscal years 2017 and 2016 are primarily related to value placed on the employee workforce, service offerings and capabilities and expected synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Refer to the discussion of the Company's business acquisitions in note 17.
|
(2)
|
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the Company disposed of
two
non-strategic businesses within the IEI and HRS segments, and recorded an aggregate reduction of goodwill of
$4.4 million
accordingly, which is included in the loss on sale recorded in other charges, net on the consolidated statement of operations.
|
(3)
|
Includes adjustments based on management's estimates resulting from their review and finalization of the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition. These adjustments were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company.
|
(4)
|
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded
$17.4 million
and
$5.5 million
, respectively, of foreign currency translation adjustments primarily related to the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Mirror Controls International ("MCi") in fiscal year 2016, as the U.S. Dollar fluctuated against the Euro.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to accelerate its ability to support more
Sketch-to-Scale
tm
efforts across the Company and reposition away from historical legacy programs and structures through rationalizing its current footprint at existing sites and at corporate SG&A functions. This charge is primarily for employee terminations costs, as described in note 14, as well as other asset impairments, and is split between cost of sales and selling, general and administration expenses on the Company's consolidated statement of operations. This charge is excluded from the measurement of the Company's operating segment's performance.
