Quarter Details

Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) revenues (63% of total revenues) surged 33% year over year to $3 billion, driven by strength in retail, industrial, 5G and cloud end-markets.

Diversified Manufacturing Services (DMS) revenues (37% of revenues) decreased 7% year over year to $2.3 billion, primarily due to weak demand for mobility, which is part of Mechanics and Edge Devices & Accessories end-markets.
