“We delivered sequential revenue and earnings growth in the third quarter as our business started to
recover from second quarter disruptions, enabling earnings to come in above our guidance for the
quarter,” said CEO and President Jeff Benck. “The results were driven by a 45% year-over-year
improvement in Semi-cap and an 18% sequential improvement in the Aerospace and Defense sector,
where demand for defense related products remains strong. In addition, third quarter non-GAAP gross
and operating margins improved significantly from the second quarter, reaching 8.7% and 3.0%
respectively, as our global network returned to normal operating capacity.”
“Entering the fourth quarter, we expect stronger demand and new programs in Defense, Industrials, and
Telecommunications to offset declines in Medical as we are completing some of the incremental upside
builds for COVID-19 related therapeutic equipment. We continue to make progress on improving gross
margins as we expect to achieve our 9% target in the fourth quarter, which will enable us to also
improve earnings sequentially.”

Overall, higher-value market revenues during the third quarter were up 7% quarter-over-quarter and
down 1% year-over-year. Traditional market revenues were up 9% quarter-over-quarter due to stronger
demand for high performance computing and telecommunications products and down 21% year-over-
year primarily from the Company’s exit of a legacy Computing contract in 2019, which it decided not to
renew.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Outlook
●
Revenue between $500 - $540 million
●
Diluted GAAP earnings per share between $0.20 - $0.24
●
Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share between $0.32 - $0.36 (excluding restructuring charges
and other costs and amortization of intangibles)
●
Our guidance includes known constraints due to COVID-19 and assumes no further significant
interruptions occur to our supply base, operations, or customers. Guidance also assumes no
material changes to market conditions due to COVID-19.
Restructuring charges are expected to range between $2.8 million to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter
and the amortization of intangibles is expected to be $2.4 million in the fourth quarter.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words "expect,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "could", "predict" and similar expressions, and the negatives thereof, often
identify forward-looking statements, which are not limited to historical facts. Forward -looking
statements include, among other things, the estimated financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our
outlook and guidance for fourth quarter 2020 results, the company’s anticipated plans and responses to
the COVID-19 pandemic, statements (express or implied) concerning future operating results or margins,
the ability to generate sales and income or cash flow, and expected revenue mix, and Benchmark’s
business and growth strategies. Although the company believes these statements are based on and
derived from reasonable assumptions, they involve risks and uncertainties relating to operations,
markets and the business environment generally. These statements also depend on the duration and
severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks, including government and other third-party
responses to the crisis and the consequences for the global economy, our business and the businesses
of our suppliers and customers. Events relating to or resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including
the possibility of customer demand fluctuations, supply chain constraints, or the ability to utilize our
manufacturing facilities at sufficient levels to cover our fixed operating costs, may have resulting impacts
on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and the company’s ability (or
inability) to execute on its plans to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. If one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materializes, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary
materially from those indicated. Readers are advised to consult further disclosures on these risks and
uncertainties, particularly in Part 1, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based upon information
available to the company as of the date of this document, and it assumes no obligation to update them.

analyze the Company
’
s performance and underlying trends. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP
results and results excluding special items (
“
non-GAAP
”
) is included in the following tables attached to
this document. In situations where a non-GAAP reconciliation has not been provided, the Company was
unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent

adjustments may be recognized. Management uses non‐GAAP measures that exclude certain items in
order to better assess operating performance and help investors compare results with our previous
guidance.
