TORONTO – Celestica Inc. reported first-quarter net earnings were $19.2 million, down from $29.8 million year-over-year. 
 
Revenue for the quarter was $1.47 billion, compared to $1.84 billion last year; adjusted earnings fell from $35.4 million to $29.3 million. The company cites a drop in end-market demand, especially for its telecom and information technology products, as the cause.
