| EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the applicable periods. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from share-based compensation awards and warrants. The potential dilution was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares for the period. The computation of earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding of the Company’s ordinary shares for the following periods is presented below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fiscal Year Ended March 31, | | 2026 | | 2025 | | 2024 | | (In millions, except per share amounts) | | Numerator: | | | | | | | Net income from continuing operations | $ | 880 | | | $ | 838 | | | $ | 872 | | | Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax (Note 7) | — | | | — | | | 373 | | | Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest (Note 7) | — | | | — | | | 239 | | | Net income from discontinued operations attributable to Flex Ltd.

(1)An immaterial amount of RSU awards during fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive impact on the weighted average ordinary shares equivalents.
