During fiscal year 2026, 13,766 shares were repurchased under the share repurchase program at an average price per share of $379.99, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.2 million. As of June 26, 2026, the remaining authorization to repurchase was $169.0 million. The company also recognized $57.4 million of current income tax expense related to enacted Pillar Two UTPR legislation.

Revenues for fiscal year 2026 increased by $1.22 billion, or 35.7%, from $3.42 billion for fiscal year 2025 to $4.64 billion for fiscal year 2026. The percentage of revenues from data center products increased from 46.2% in fiscal year 2025 to 47.9% in fiscal year 2026, communications infrastructure products increased from 30.7% to 33.3%, and automotive, industrial and other markets decreased from 23.1% to 18.8%. Revenues from ship-to locations outside of North America accounted for 77.3% of revenues in fiscal year 2026, compared to 78.4% in fiscal year 2025.

The company expects fiscal year 2027 SG&A expenses will increase compared to fiscal year 2026 SG&A expenses, mainly due to increases in research and development expenses, investments in information technology hardware, and compensation-related expenses.

The company intends to strengthen its presence in the optical communications market, which is growing rapidly driven by demand for increased network bandwidth and penetration from core to metro networks and data center infrastructures, and continues to invest resources in advanced manufacturing process and optical packaging technologies to support the manufacture of the next generation of complex optical products.

The company intends to leverage its technological strengths in precision optical and electro-mechanical manufacturing, advanced packaging and process design engineering to continue diversification into industrial lasers, medical, sensors, and other select markets that require similar capabilities. The company also intends to continue extending vertical integration into customized optics and glass to gain greater access to key components and continue diversification into new markets, through further investment into research and development as well as potential acquisitions in what remains a highly fragmented market.

The company expects employee costs to increase as wages continue to increase in Thailand and the PRC, and seeks to mitigate these cost increases through improvements in employee productivity, employee retention and asset utilization.

The company established Fabrinet West, Inc. as an NPI center in Silicon Valley and Fabrinet Israel as an NPI center in Israel's Startup Village, equipped with state-of-the-art surface mount and advanced optical packaging technologies and infrastructure, to accelerate customer NPI and provide seamless access and future transfer to the low-cost manufacturing base in Thailand.

The company expects to continue to devote significant resources to the expansion of manufacturing capacity, and any such expansion will be expensive and will require management's time. The company may continue to evaluate opportunities to further expand manufacturing capabilities and diversify end-markets through evaluation of various acquisition and joint venture opportunities around the globe.

The company faces risks from changes in U.S. and international trade policies, including new or increased tariffs on materials used in manufacturing, which could adversely affect business, financial condition and operating results. The company is subject to risks associated with evolving global trade policies, and ongoing or future trade disputes may impact the availability and cost of materials used in manufacturing processes.

The company is subject to risks related to political unrest and changes in political, social, business or economic conditions in Thailand, where the majority of assets and manufacturing operations are located. The company also expects to continue investing in manufacturing operations in the PRC, which exposes it to risks inherent in doing business in the PRC including greater political, legal and economic risks.

Management's message emphasizes the company's belief that it provides differentiated manufacturing services through optical and electro-mechanical process technologies and strategic alignment with customers, and that there is no other manufacturing services provider with a similar breadth and depth of optical and electro-mechanical engineering and process technology capabilities that does not directly compete with its customers in their end-markets. The key elements of the growth strategy are to strengthen presence in the optical communications market, leverage technology and manufacturing capabilities to continue diversifying end-markets, continue extending customized optics and glass vertical integration, evaluate potential strategic alternatives such as acquisitions and joint ventures, broaden client base geographically, and establish new product introduction centers to generate and transfer new business to Thailand.
