Jabil Posts Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Results

Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL), reported preliminary, unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

“It’s evident that Jabil has undergone a substantial transformation this fiscal year: a year during which we sold our Mobility business, saw growth in the AI datacenter sector, and faced challenges in multiple end-markets,” said CEO Mike Dastoor. “Despite these changes, we delivered core margins of 5.5% and $8.49 of core diluted EPS in FY24, while generating more than $1 billion in adjusted free cash flow. Additionally, we returned $2.5 billion to shareholders via buybacks. While short-term demand is facing challenges in certain end-markets, we are confident that in the mid-to-long term, we are well-positioned to capitalize on secular trends in areas such as datacenter power and cooling, electric and hybrid vehicles, healthcare and pharmaceutical delivery solutions, semiconductor equipment, and warehouse automation,” he concluded.
