Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Plan Administrator
Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan
Neenah, Wisconsin
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
1.   Description of Plan
 
    The following description of the Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
    General
The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering substantially all U.S. employees of Plexus Corp. (the “Company” or the “Employer”) and affiliated employers, as defined. Effective April 1, 2004, the Adoption Agreement was amended to allow employees to participate the first day of the month coinciding with or following their date of hire. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.
 
    Contributions
Employee pre-tax contributions are based on voluntary elections via phone or Internet by the participants, directing the Company to defer a stated amount from the participant’s compensation. Effective January 1, 2005, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of their annual compensation. On a per pay period basis, the Company will make a matching contribution on behalf of a participant equal to 100% of the first 2.5% of the participant’s compensation contributed to the Plan. Participants are eligible for the matching contribution the first day of the plan year quarter coinciding with or following the date in which Plan eligibility requirements are met. Contributions are limited by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”).
 
    Investment Alternatives
Plan participants may direct their entire account balances in 1% increments to any of the various investment options offered by the Plan. Company contributions are also invested based upon participant allocation elections. Participants may change their investment options on a daily basis.
 
    Participant Accounts and Allocations
Participant recordkeeping is performed by MFS Retirement Services, Inc. (“MFS”). For all investment programs which are mutual funds, MFS maintains participant balances on a share method. Participant investments in the Plexus Unitized Stock Fund and MFS Fixed Fund are accounted for on a unit value method. Units and unit values for these funds as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, were as follows:
                                 
    Units     Unit Value  
    December 31,     December 31,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005  
 
                               
Plexus Unitized Stock Fund
    2,427,342       3,046,470     $ 9.12     $ 8.66  
MFS Fixed Fund
    8,164,187       5,898,086       1.00       1.00

    Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of Company contributions and plan earnings (losses). Allocations of plan earnings (losses) are based on participant account balances in relation to total fund account balances, as defined by the plan document.
 
    Vesting and Distributions
Participants immediately vest in all contributions made to the Plan. Participant accounts are distributable in the form of a lump sum payment or substantially equal installments of cash or in whole shares of Company securities as elected by the participant upon retirement, termination of employment, death, disability, financial hardship, or attainment of age 59-1/2. Prior to March 28, 2005, participant account balances less than $5,000 could be automatically distributed in a lump sum. Effective March 28, 2005, participant account balances less than $1,000 may be automatically distributed in a lump sum. In addition, participant accounts can be rolled over into an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or another qualified defined contribution plan. Participant distributions may not be deferred past April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the participant attains age 70-1/2. Forfeitures of unclaimed distributions are used to reduce Company matching contributions.
 
    Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range up to five years. Loan terms can be extended for the purchase of a primary residence. Loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% at the time of loan origination. Principal and interest is paid ratably through regular payroll deductions.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Accounting Method
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
 
    Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The share value of mutual funds and the value of Plexus Corp. common stock are based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the plan year. The unit value of unitized funds and common trust funds is computed daily based on share price, dividend information, and the value of the fund’s short-term investments. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
    The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recognized when earned.

    Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in a combination of different investment securities. The Plan’s investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the values of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
 
    Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
    Administrative Expenses
Certain expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company and are not reflected within these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
During 2006, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value by $13,237,985, as follows:
         
Mutual funds
  $ 8,757,921  
Common stock
    4,480,064  
 
     
 
  $ 13,237,985  
 
     
4.   Amounts Allocated to Withdrawn Participants
 
    Approximately $27,806,000 and $25,041,000 of plan assets have been allocated to the accounts of persons who are no longer active participants of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but who have not yet received distributions as of that date.
 
5.   Tax Status
 
    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated November 8, 2004, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan’s administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
 
6.   Plan Termination
 
    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
 
7.   Related-Party Transactions
 
    Certain plan investments represent shares of funds managed by MFS Heritage Trust Company (the trustee of the Plan), employer securities, and participant loans. Transactions involving these investments are considered party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are not, however, considered prohibited transactions under 29 CFR 408(b) of the ERISA regulations.
