Sanmina Revises Third Quarter Outlook SAN JOSE, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM), a leading electronics contract manufacturer, announced today that its 2001 third quarter revenues and earnings are being impacted by the continued slowdown in its end-markets. For its fiscal third quarter, ending June 30, 2001, revenues are currently expected to be in the range of $760 million to $775 million. Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis before one-time charges are expected to be approximately $0.10. "Despite the current economic environment, we believe Sanmina is well positioned to strengthen its leading market position in the electronics manufacturing sector," continued Sola. "The company has a successful track record in providing its customers with world class manufacturing on a cost efficient basis, and we are committed to continuing this tradition. We also believe that the downturn in the electronics industry will cause original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to become more focused on outsourcing as a means of reducing costs and capital commitments. Accordingly, we are aggressively pursuing outsourcing and divestiture opportunities. In particular, we are nearing agreement in principle for the acquisition of an advanced engineering and manufacturing facility from a leading communications OEM. We expect to provide further details regarding this opportunity in the next several days. In summary, we are staying focused on our growth strategy and are working to balance our costs while continuing to invest in our future," Sola concluded. Outlook information regarding the fourth quarter will be included in the company's third quarter earnings announcement on July 18, 2001. The company will be holding a conference call regarding these announcements on Wednesday, June 20, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. EDT (2:00 p.m. PDT). The dial-in number for the call is 703-871-3086.
