General

We are a global industrial technology leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. As a trusted innovation partner, our broad range of connectivity and sensor solutions enable the distribution of power, signal, and data to advance next-generation transportation, energy networks, automated factories, data centers enabling artificial intelligence, and more. References in this report to “TE Connectivity,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to TE Connectivity Ltd. before September 30, 2024 and to TE Connectivity plc on or after September 30, 2024.

We became an independent, publicly traded company in 2007; however, through our predecessor companies, we trace our foundations in the connectivity business back to 1941.

During fiscal 2024, our board of directors and shareholders approved a change in our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. In connection with the change, TE Connectivity Ltd., our former parent entity, entered into a merger agreement with TE Connectivity plc, its then wholly-owned subsidiary and a public limited company incorporated under Irish law. Under the merger agreement, TE Connectivity Ltd. merged with and into TE Connectivity plc, which was the surviving entity, in order to effect our change in jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. The merger was completed on September 30, 2024, thereby changing our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. Effective for fiscal 2025, we are organized under the laws of Ireland. We have not had and do not anticipate any material changes in our operations or financial results as a result of the merger and change in place of incorporation.

We acquired Richard Manufacturing Co. (“Richards Manufacturing”) in fiscal 2025. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the acquisition.

We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday of September. Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023 ended on September 26, 2025, September 27, 2024, and September 29, 2023, respectively. Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023 were each 52 weeks in length. For fiscal years in which there are 53 weeks, the fourth fiscal quarter includes 14 weeks, with the next occurrence taking place in fiscal 2028.

Segments

Effective for fiscal 2025, we reorganized our management and segments to align the organization around our current strategy. Prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the new segment structure. See additional information regarding our segments in Notes 1 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We now operate through two reportable segments: Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions. We believe our two segments served a combined market of approximately $200 billion as of fiscal year end 2025.

Our net sales by segment as a percentage of our total net sales were as follows:

Below is a description of our reportable segments and the primary products, markets, and competitors of each segment.

Transportation Solutions

The Transportation Solutions segment is a leader in connectivity and sensor technologies. The primary products sold by the Transportation Solutions segment include terminals and connector systems and components, sensors, heat shrink tubing, relays, and application tooling. The Transportation Solutions segment’s products, which must withstand harsh conditions, are used in the following end markets:

The Transportation Solutions segment’s major competitors include Yazaki, Aptiv, Sumitomo, Sensata, Honeywell, Molex, and Amphenol.

Industrial Solutions

The Industrial Solutions segment is a leading supplier of products that connect and distribute power, data, and signals. The primary products sold by the Industrial Solutions segment include terminals and connector systems and components, interventional medical components, heat shrink tubing, relays, wire and cable, and filters. The Industrial Solutions segment’s products are used in the following end markets:

The Industrial Solutions segment competes primarily against Amphenol, Hubbell, Carlisle Companies, Integer Holdings, Molex, Omron, JST, and Korea Electric Terminal (KET).

Customers

As an industry leader, we have established close working relationships with many of our customers. These relationships allow us to better anticipate and respond to customer needs when designing new products and new technical solutions. By working with our customers in developing new products and technologies, we believe we can identify and act on trends and leverage knowledge about next-generation technology across our products.

Our approach to our customers is driven by our dedication to further develop our product families and ensure that we are globally positioned to best provide our customers with sales and engineering support. We believe that as electronic component technologies continue to proliferate, our broad product portfolio and engineering capability give us a potential competitive advantage when addressing the needs of our global customers.

We manufacture and sell a broad portfolio of products to customers in various industries. Our customers include many of the leaders in their respective industries, and our relationships with them typically date back many years. We believe that our diversified customer base provides us an opportunity to leverage our skills and experience across markets and reduce our exposure to individual end markets, thereby reducing the variability of our financial performance. Additionally, we believe that the diversity of our customer base reduces the level of cyclicality in our results and distinguishes us from our competitors.

No single customer accounted for a significant amount of our net sales in fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.

Sales and Distribution

We maintain a strong local presence in each of the geographic regions in which we operate. Our net sales by geographic region(1) as a percentage of our total net sales were as follows:

We sell our products into approximately 130 countries primarily through direct selling efforts to manufacturers. In fiscal 2025, our direct sales represented approximately 75% of total net sales. We also sell our products indirectly via third-party distributors.

We maintain distribution centers around the world. Products are generally delivered to the distribution centers by our manufacturing facilities and then subsequently delivered to the customer. In some instances, however, products are delivered directly from our manufacturing facility to the customer. Our global coverage positions us near our customers’ locations and allows us to assist them in consolidating their supply base and lowering their production costs. We contract with a wide range of transport providers to deliver our products globally via road, rail, sea, and air. We believe our balanced sales distribution lowers our exposure to any particular geography and improves our financial profile.

Seasonality and Backlog

Typically, we experience a slight seasonal pattern to our business. Overall, the third and fourth fiscal quarters are usually the strongest quarters of our fiscal year, whereas the first fiscal quarter is negatively affected by holidays and the second fiscal quarter may be affected by adverse winter weather conditions in some of our markets.

Certain of our end markets experience some seasonality. Our sales in the automotive market are dependent upon global automotive production, and seasonal declines in European production may negatively impact net sales in the fourth fiscal quarter. Also, our sales in the energy market typically increase in the third and fourth fiscal quarters as customer activity increases.

Customer orders and demand may fluctuate as a result of economic and market conditions. Backlog by reportable segment was as follows:

We expect that the majority of our backlog at fiscal year end 2025 will be filled during fiscal 2026. Backlog is not necessarily indicative of future net sales as unfilled orders may be cancelled prior to shipment of goods.

Competition

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive, and we compete with thousands of companies that range from large multinational corporations to local manufacturers. Competition is generally based on breadth of product offering, product innovation, price, quality, delivery, and service. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, downward pressure on prices. However, as a result of increased costs and tariffs, certain of our businesses implemented price increases in recent years.

Raw Materials

We use a wide variety of raw materials in the manufacture of our products. The principal raw materials that we use include plastic resins for molding; precious metals such as gold, silver, and palladium for plating; and other metals such as copper, aluminum, brass, and steel for manufacturing cable, contacts, and other parts that are used for cable and component bodies and inserts. Many of these raw materials are produced in a limited number of countries around the world or are only available from a limited number of suppliers. The prices of these materials are driven by global supply and demand. In recent years, raw material prices and availability have been affected by worldwide economic conditions, including supply chain disruptions, trade wars, and inflationary cost pressures.

Intellectual Property

Patents and other proprietary rights are important to our business. We also rely upon trade secrets, manufacturing know-how, continuing technological innovations, and licensing opportunities to maintain and improve our competitive position. We review third-party proprietary rights, including patents and patent applications, as available, in an effort to develop an effective intellectual property strategy, avoid infringement of third-party proprietary rights, identify licensing opportunities, and monitor the intellectual property claims of others.

We own a large portfolio of patents that relate principally to electrical, optical, and electronic products. We also own a portfolio of trademarks and are a licensee of various patents and trademarks. Patents for individual products extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. Trademark rights may potentially extend for longer periods of time and are dependent upon national laws and use of the trademarks.

While we consider our patents and trademarks to be valued assets, we do not believe that our competitive position or our operations are dependent upon or would be materially impacted by any single patent or group of related patents.

Human Capital Management

We have employees located throughout the world. As of fiscal year end 2025, we employed approximately 93,000 people worldwide, including 13,000 contract employees. Approximately 34,000 were in the Asia–Pacific region, 34,000 were in the EMEA region, and 25,000 were in the Americas region. Of our total employees, approximately 55,000 were employed in manufacturing. Our strong employee base, along with their commitment to uncompromising values, provides the foundation of our success.

We are governed by our core values of integrity, accountability, inclusion, teamwork, and innovation. They guide our decisions and our actions, both individually and as an organization. Additionally, our employees are responsible for upholding our purpose—to create a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. We track and report internally on key talent metrics including workforce demographics, critical role pipeline data, global diversity data, and engagement and inclusion indices. As part of its charter, the management development and compensation committee of our board of directors oversees our policies and practices related to the management of human capital resources including talent management, culture, global diversity, and inclusion.

Inclusion

We are committed to leveraging the skills and perspectives of a wealth of backgrounds and experiences, and building a workforce and supplier network that represents our global markets and the customers we serve. We strive to maintain a work environment where all employees are engaged, feel their differences are valued and mutually-respected, and believe that all opinions count. Our people reflect our customers and markets. Our employees work in over 50 countries and represent approximately 150 nationalities, and our total employee population is over 40% women.

Our employee resource groups (“ERGs”) are company-sponsored, employee-led groups that focus on shared identities or experiences of employees. These groups apply those perspectives to create value for our company as a whole. The ERGs provide a space where employees can foster connections and develop in a supportive environment. As of fiscal year end 2025, we had eight ERGs—African Heritage, ALIGN (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer employees (LGBTQ+) and their allies), Asian Heritage, Latin Heritage, TE Veterans, TE Young Professionals, THRIVE (employees with mental, emotional, and physical disabilities and their allies), and Women in Networking—with over 12,000 members worldwide. Our ERGs welcome any employee interested in supporting their mission and participation is optional.

Employee Engagement

Our annual employee engagement survey explores how employees feel about their experience at our company and enables us to develop tailored actions to enhance the working environment. Focused on measuring engagement, inclusion, well-being, and leadership effectiveness, this fully digital, enterprise-wide survey is available to all employees in 22 languages. In fiscal 2025, we had a participation rate of 88% and year over year improvement in all four indices of engagement, inclusion, well-being, and leadership effectiveness. Our engagement and inclusion scores were once again favorable when compared to external global manufacturing benchmarks.

Training and Development

We provide employees with a range of development programs, opportunities, skills, and resources, empowering them to unleash their potential. Also, we emphasize employee development and training to support engagement and retention. Our LEARN@TE platform supplements our talent development strategies. It is an online portal that enables employees to access instructor-led classroom or virtual courses and self-directed web-based courses. Strategy, execution, and talent (“SET”) leadership expectations, which focus on how we drive strategy, effectively execute, and build talent, are expectations of all employees and are embedded in all of our leadership programs. We integrate these behavioral expectations into the way we assess and select talent, manage performance, and develop and reward our people.

We are committed to identifying and developing our next generation of leaders. We have a robust talent and succession planning process, and we offer programs to support the development of leaders at all levels and those in critical roles, general management, engineering, and operations. We are focused on recruiting top candidates, developing employees at all levels, and providing opportunities for career advancement. On an annual basis, we conduct an organization and leadership review process with our Chief Executive Officer and all segment, business unit, and function leaders focusing on our high-performing and high-potential talent, globally diverse talent, and the succession for our most critical roles. Also, our

board of directors reviews and assesses management development plans for senior executives and the succession plans relating to those positions.

We believe our management team has the experience necessary to effectively execute our strategy and advance our product and technology leadership. Our Chief Executive Officer and segment leaders average over 25 years of industry experience. They are supported by an experienced and talented management team who is dedicated to maintaining and expanding our position as a global leader in the industry. For discussion of the risks relating to the attraction and retention of management and executive management employees, see “Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Health, Safety, and Well-being

We are committed to the health, safety, well-being, and human rights of our employees, ensuring that all of our people can thrive both at work and beyond. Our approach goes beyond compliance. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported, while providing the tools and resources needed to balance work and personal lives and take ownership of their well-being. Our environmental, health, and safety teams continuously seek ways to raise the standards of safety, health, well-being, and human rights across our organization. Our “Mission Zero” strategy engages all employees to review our safety policies, complete training, and sign a personal commitment to uphold a safe work environment. We aspire to be an injury-free workplace and, as such, we have compliance audits and internal processes in place to stay ahead of workplace hazards. In fiscal 2025, we reduced our Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) total recordable incident rate—a rate equivalent to the number of incidents per 100 employees or 200,000 work hours—to 0.06, with no employee or contractor fatalities.

We remain focused on the protection of global human rights and have instituted several policies to guide us including our global human rights policy and our human trafficking and modern slavery policy. Our Human Rights Committee of cross-functional leaders, which was established in fiscal 2024, assesses and mitigates the areas of greatest risk for our operations and value chain, and we have developed a roadmap to strengthen our human rights approach. We apply high standards of human rights and require that our suppliers do the same.

Government Regulation and Supervision

The import and export of products are subject to regulation by the various jurisdictions where we conduct business. A small portion of our products, including defense-related products, may require governmental import and export licenses, whose issuance may be influenced by geopolitical and other events. We have a trade compliance organization and other systems in place to apply for licenses and otherwise comply with such regulations. Any failure to maintain compliance with domestic and foreign trade regulation could limit our ability to import and export raw materials and finished goods into or from the relevant jurisdiction.

Environmental

Our operations are subject to numerous environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including those regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, hazardous materials in products, and chemical usage. We are committed to complying with these laws and to the protection of our employees and the environment. We maintain a global environmental, health, and safety program that includes appropriate policies and standards; staff dedicated to environmental, health, and safety issues; periodic compliance auditing; training; and other measures. We also have a program for compliance with the European Union (“EU”) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“WEEE”) Directives; the China Administrative Measures for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (“China RoHS”) regulation; the EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”) regulation; and similar laws.

Compliance with these laws has increased our costs of doing business in a variety of ways and may continue to do so in the future. For example, laws regarding product content and chemical registration require extensive and costly data collection, management, and reporting, and laws regulating GHG emissions may increase our costs for energy and certain materials and products. We also have projects underway at a number of current and former manufacturing sites to investigate and remediate environmental contamination resulting from past operations. Based upon our experience, available information, and applicable laws, as of fiscal year end 2025, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $18 million to $44 million, and we accrued $23 million as the probable loss, which was the best estimate within this range. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures during fiscal 2026 for environmental control facilities or other costs of compliance with laws or regulations relating to GHG emissions.

Sustainability

We look to build on our strong foundation of environmental sustainability in our operations. Our One Connected World strategy guides how we balance investor and customer expectations and drive improved environmental sustainability. We support a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future through the products that come out of our facilities.

Our sustainability initiatives began several years ago and have continued to evolve. From fiscal 2020 to 2025, we achieved more than a 25% reduction in energy use intensity, more than a 25% reduction in total water withdrawal, and more than an 80% reduction in absolute GHG emissions for Scopes 1 and 2.

We have challenged ourselves to find new ways to continue to drive sustainability improvements. We have also committed to near-term, company-wide GHG emissions reductions in line with climate science and Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”) objectives. These reduction goals were validated by the SBTi and we are currently listed on its “Companies Taking Action” target dashboard which shows companies and financial institutions that have set science-based targets, or have committed to developing such targets.

Our mid-term goals and long-term ambitions, many of which have already been achieved, include the following:

We continue to assess our goals and ambitions and periodically update our environmental commitments.

While sustainability is embedded in our operations, we are exploring opportunities with our direct suppliers and logistics service providers to strengthen the environmental sustainability of our supply chain. In addition to improving the sustainability of our operations and working with our suppliers to reduce their GHG emissions, we help our customers produce smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient products, reducing the environmental impact of the products throughout their lives.

Additional information regarding our sustainability initiatives and progress is available in our annual Corporate Responsibility Report located on our website at www.te.com under the heading “About TE—Corporate Responsibility.” The contents of our Corporate Responsibility Report are not incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our securities. These risks are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to general risks that affect many other companies. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations, financial condition, and liquidity_._

Risks Relating to the Macroeconomic Environment and Our Global Presence

Conditions in global or regional economies, capital and money markets, and banking systems, and cyclical industry demand may adversely affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by economic conditions regionally or globally, including new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, including escalation of trade and tariff tensions between the United States (“U.S.”), China, the EU, and other countries, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, inflation, slower growth or recession, higher interest rates, labor disruptions, the cost and availability of consumer and business credit, end demand from consumer and industrial markets, significant bank failures, government shutdowns, and concerns as to sovereign debt levels including credit rating downgrades and defaults on sovereign debt. Any of these economic factors could cause our customers to experience deterioration of their businesses, cash flow, financial condition, and ability to obtain financing. As a result, existing or potential customers may delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and may not be able to fulfill their obligations to us in a timely fashion or in full. Further, our vendors may experience similar problems, which may impact their ability to fulfill our orders or meet agreed service and quality levels. If regional or global economic conditions deteriorate, our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Also, deterioration in economic conditions, expectations for future revenue, projected future cash flows, or other factors have triggered and could trigger additional recognition of impairment charges for our goodwill or other long-lived assets. Impairment charges, if any, may be material to our results of operations and financial position.

Foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our results.

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in U.S. dollars; however, a significant portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S. Changes in the relative values of currencies may have a significant effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

We are exposed to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our costs and revenue. Approximately 60% of our net sales for fiscal 2025 were invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and we expect non-U.S. dollar revenue to continue to represent a significant portion of our future net sales. We have elected not to hedge this foreign currency exposure. Therefore, when the U.S. dollar strengthens in relation to the currencies of the countries where we sell our products, such as the euro or Asian currencies, our U.S. dollar reported revenue and income will decrease. Although the value of the U.S. dollar fluctuated in fiscal 2025, in recent years, the strength of the U.S. dollar has generally increased as compared to other currencies, which has had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our operating results as reported in U.S. dollars.

We manage certain cash, intercompany, and other balance sheet currency exposures in part by entering into financial derivative contracts. In addition to the risk of non-performance by the counterparty to these contracts, our efforts to manage these risks might not be successful.

We have suffered and could continue to suffer business interruptions, including impacts resulting from pandemics, severe weather events, and natural catastrophic events, including those caused or intensified by climate change, and other macroeconomic factors.

Our operations and those of our suppliers and customers, and the supply chains that support their operations, have been and may be in the future vulnerable to interruption by natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, tornados, or floods, which may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change; other disasters such as fires, explosions, acts of terrorism, or war, including the continuing military conflicts in certain parts of the world; disease or other adverse health developments; or failures of management information or other systems due to internal or external causes. These events could cause some of our operations to suffer from supply chain disruptions and potential delays in fulfilling customer orders or order cancellations altogether, lost business and sales, changing costs or availability of insurance, and/or property damage or harm to our people, each and all of which could have an adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, such interruptions could result in a widespread crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our end customers’ products. If a business interruption occurs and we are unsuccessful in our continuing efforts to minimize the impact of these events, our business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We could be adversely affected by a decline in the market value of our pension plans’ investment portfolios or a reduction in returns on plan assets.

Concerns about deterioration in the global economy, together with concerns about tariffs, credit, inflation, or deflation, have caused and could continue to cause significant volatility in the price of all securities, including fixed income and equity securities, which has reduced and could further reduce the value of our pension plans’ investment portfolios. In addition, the expected returns on plan assets may not be achieved. A decrease in the value of our pension plans’ investment portfolios or a reduction in returns on plan assets could require us to significantly increase funding of such obligations, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Disruption in credit markets and volatility in equity markets may affect our ability to access sufficient funding.

The global equity markets have been volatile and at times credit markets have been disrupted, which has reduced the availability of investment capital and credit. Downgrades of sovereign debt credit ratings have similarly affected the availability and cost of capital. As a result, we may be unable to access adequate funding to operate and grow our business. Our inability to access adequate funding or to generate sufficient cash from operations may require us to reconsider certain projects and capital expenditures. The extent of any impact will depend on several factors, including our operating cash flows, the duration of tight credit conditions and volatile equity markets, our credit ratings and credit capacity, the cost of financing, and other general economic and business conditions.

Global political, economic, and military instability could negatively affect sales or profitability.

Our workforce; manufacturing, research, administrative, and sales facilities; markets; customers; and suppliers are located throughout the world. As a result, we are exposed to risks that could negatively affect sales or profitability, including:

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

Our cybersecurity risk management strategy and processes are designed to identify, assess, and manage risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information technology environment, systems, and information. The cybersecurity risk management process is managed centrally and is led by our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) who reports to our Chief Information Officer. Our cybersecurity program takes a risk-based approach and is integrated with our global enterprise risk management program. Our cybersecurity risk strategy is aligned with cyber/information security frameworks and industry standards, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework.

Our cybersecurity program includes the following risk management practices:

To date, we do not believe that any risks from cybersecurity threats, nor any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, the sophistication of cybersecurity threats continues to increase, and the preventative actions we have taken and continue to take to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents and protect our systems and information may not successfully protect against future cybersecurity incidents, which could materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For additional information on certain risks associated with cybersecurity, refer to the risk factors related to cybersecurity and information technology systems in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Cybersecurity Program Governance

Our cybersecurity program is governed by the information security committee (“ISC”), composed of our leaders from information technology, enterprise risk, legal, compliance, strategy, human resources, finance, internal audit, and various business units. On a quarterly basis, the CISO reports to the ISC on topics such as risk mitigation project status, audit results, security metrics, cyber incidents investigated and impact, if any, and significant changes that contribute toward protecting the enterprise from cybersecurity threats.

Our CISO has over 20 years of experience in information security leadership roles and over 9 years as our CISO. He holds many industry certifications, including Certified Information Systems Security Professional (“CISSP”), and is an active member in professional organizations. Also, certain members of our board of directors have completed cybersecurity program trainings, or have relevant industry experience.

Cybersecurity incidents are evaluated by a cross-functional team based on defined criteria and regularly communicated to leadership pursuant to criteria set forth in our incident response plan and related processes. We have engaged cybersecurity and information technology third-party consultants to assist in cybersecurity incident response including forensics and technical analysis.

The cybersecurity committee of our board of directors has oversight responsibility for cybersecurity risks. The CISO provides updates at least twice a year to the cybersecurity committee regarding matters related to information technology and cybersecurity risks including the state of our cybersecurity programs, emerging cybersecurity developments and threats, and our strategy to mitigate cybersecurity risk. Additionally, the full board of directors receives updates on cybersecurity risks twice a year as part of the enterprise risk management meetings.

Our principal executive office is located in Galway, Ireland. As of fiscal year end 2025, we owned approximately 17 million square feet and leased approximately 11 million square feet of aggregate floor space, used primarily for manufacturing, warehousing, and office space. We believe our facilities are suitable for the conduct of our business and adequate for our current needs.

We manufacture our products in over 25 countries worldwide. Our manufacturing sites focus on various aspects of our manufacturing processes, including our primary processes of stamping, plating, molding, extrusion, beaming, and

assembly. We consider the productive capacity of our manufacturing facilities sufficient. As of fiscal year end 2025, our principal centers of manufacturing output by segment and geographic region were as follows:

​

​

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, trade compliance matters, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. In addition, we operate in an industry susceptible to significant patent legal claims. At any given time in the normal course of business, we are involved as either a plaintiff or defendant in a number of patent infringement actions. If infringement of a third party’s patent were to be determined against us, we might be required to make significant royalty or other payments or might be subject to an injunction or other limitation on our ability to manufacture or sell one or more products. If a patent owned by or licensed to us were determined to be invalid or unenforceable, we might be required to reduce the value of the patent on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and to record a corresponding charge, which could be significant in amount.

Management believes that these legal proceedings and claims likely will be resolved over an extended period of time. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

Item 103 of Regulation S-K requires the disclosure of certain environmental matters in which a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and when such proceedings involve the potential for monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed a specified threshold. In accordance with the SEC guidance on this item, we have chosen a reporting threshold for such proceedings of $1 million. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose.

Not applicable.

PART II

Market Information and Holders

Our ordinary shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TEL.” As of November 5, 2025, there were 15,032 shareholders of record of our ordinary shares.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on our ordinary shares against the cumulative return on the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones U.S. Electrical Components & Equipment Index. The graph assumes the investment of $100 in our ordinary shares and in each index at fiscal year end 2020 and assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The graph shows the cumulative total return for the last five fiscal years. The comparisons in the graph are based upon historical data and are not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, future returns.

Dividends

Following our change in place of incorporation, dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, may be declared on a quarterly basis by our board of directors, as provided by Irish law. Shareholder approval is no longer required for interim dividends. In exercising its discretion to approve such dividends, our board of directors will consider our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future business prospects, statutory requirements of applicable law, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by Irish law, and other factors that they may deem relevant.

Overview

We are a global industrial technology leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. As a trusted innovation partner, our broad range of connectivity and sensor solutions enable the distribution of power, signal, and data to advance next-generation transportation, energy networks, automated factories, data centers enabling artificial intelligence, and more.

Change in Place of Incorporation

During fiscal 2024, our board of directors and shareholders approved a change in our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. In connection with the change, TE Connectivity Ltd., our former parent entity, entered into a merger agreement with TE Connectivity plc, its then wholly-owned subsidiary and a public limited company incorporated under Irish law. Under the merger agreement, TE Connectivity Ltd. merged with and into TE Connectivity plc, which was the surviving entity, in order to effect our change in jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. The merger was completed on September 30, 2024, thereby changing our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. Effective for fiscal 2025, we are organized under the laws of Ireland. We have not had and do not anticipate any material changes in our operations or financial results as a result of the merger and change in place of incorporation.

New Segment Structure

Effective for fiscal 2025, we reorganized our management and segments to align the organization around our current strategy. We now operate through two reportable segments: Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions. Prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the new segment structure. See additional information regarding our segments in Notes 1 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Summary of Fiscal 2025 Performance

Economic Conditions

Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by worldwide economic conditions. The global economy has been impacted in recent years by supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost pressures, and, most recently, tariff and trade policies. We are monitoring the current environment and its potential effects on our customers and the end markets we serve.

In recent years, we have experienced inflationary cost pressures including increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw materials. However, we have been able to mitigate increased costs and supply chain disruptions through productivity and/or price increases. Also, we have taken and continue to focus on actions to manage costs, including restructuring and

other cost reduction initiatives such as reducing discretionary spending and travel. Additionally, we are managing our capital resources and monitoring capital availability to ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund our future capital needs. See further discussion in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

We are actively monitoring developments in tariff and trade policies and the potential impacts on our business. In addition, we are using pricing actions and sourcing changes to largely mitigate the impacts of new tariffs and changes in existing tariff rates.

We continue to monitor military conflicts in certain parts of the world as well as escalating tensions in surrounding countries and associated sanctions. These did not have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations during fiscal 2025 and 2024.

Outlook

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect our net sales to be approximately $4.5 billion as compared to $3.8 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This increase reflects sales growth in both the Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments. The Industrial Solutions segment will benefit from the acquisition of Richards Manufacturing. We expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be approximately $2.33 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. This outlook reflects the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately $113 million and $0.02 per share, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2025 and includes the impact of currently enacted tariffs. Also, this outlook is based on foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.

Acquisitions

As discussed above, on April 1, 2025, we acquired 100% of Richards Manufacturing, a U.S.-based producer of overhead and underground electrical and gas distribution products, for cash of approximately $2.3 billion, net of cash acquired. The acquired business has been reported as part of the energy business within our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

During fiscal 2025, we acquired two additional businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $321 million, net of cash ac

In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency movements on outstanding debt and non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities and commodity price movements. We utilize established risk management policies and procedures in executing derivative financial instrument transactions to manage a portion of these risks.

We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Substantially all counterparties to derivative financial instruments are limited to major financial institutions with at least an A/A2 credit rating. There is no significant concentration of exposures with any one counterparty.

Foreign Currency Exposures

As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize cross-currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany and other cash transactions. In addition, we utilize cross-currency swap contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of the underlying currency in our cross-currency swap contracts or foreign currency forward contracts from the fiscal year end 2025 market rates would have changed the unrealized value of our contracts by $594 million. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of the underlying currency in our cross-currency swap contracts or foreign currency forward contracts from the fiscal year end 2024 market rates would have changed the unrealized value of our contracts by $538 million. Such gains or losses on these contracts would generally be offset by the losses or gains on the revaluation or settlement of the underlying transactions.

Interest Rate and Investment Exposures

We issue debt, as needed, to fund our operations and capital requirements. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure, we may use interest rate swap contracts to convert a portion of fixed rate debt into variable rate debt. Also, we may utilize forward starting interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt. There were no such contracts and no floating debt outstanding at fiscal year end 2025 or 2024.

We also utilize investment swap contracts to manage earnings exposure on certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities.

Commodity Exposures

Our worldwide operations and product lines may expose us to risks from fluctuations in commodity prices. To limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid and related volatility in cash flows, we utilize commodity swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges. We continually evaluate the commodity market with respect to our forecasted usage requirements over the next eighteen months and periodically enter into commodity swap contracts to hedge a portion of usage requirements over that period. At fiscal year end 2025, our commodity hedges, which related to expected purchases of

gold, silver, copper, and palladium, were in a net gain position of $80 million and had a notional value of $569 million. At fiscal year end 2024, our commodity hedges, which related to expected purchases of gold, silver, copper, and palladium, were in a net gain position of $55 million and had a notional value of $488 million. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of commodity prices from the fiscal year end 2025 prices would have changed the unrealized value of our forward contracts by $65 million. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of commodity prices from the fiscal year end 2024 prices would have changed the unrealized value of our forward contracts by $54 million.

All other financial statements and schedules have been omitted since the information required to be submitted has been included on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes or because they are either not applicable or not required under the rules of Regulation S-X.

None.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 26, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 26, 2025.

Richards Manufacturing Acquisition

We acquired Richards Manufacturing on April 1, 2025. For additional information regarding the acquisition, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEC guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business’ internal control over financial reporting from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. We are in the process of integrating the Richards Manufacturing operations within our internal control structure. Accordingly, we have excluded Richards Manufacturing from our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2025.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 26, 2025.

As discussed above, management has excluded Richards Manufacturing from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Richards Manufacturing represented 8% of total assets and 1% of total net sales on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2025, which is included in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 26, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements

In the quarter ended September 26, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a plan for the purchase or sale of our securities intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement for the purchase or sale of our securities, within the meaning of Item 408 of Regulation S-K except the following:

The trading plans described above were entered into during an open insider trading window and were in compliance with our insider trading policies and procedures. Actual sale transactions will be disclosed publicly in filings with the SEC in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules, and regulations.

Appointment of Director

On November 10, 2025, our board of directors appointed Kenneth Washington as a director of the Company, and the number of directors constituting the full board was increased from 12 to 13. Mr. Washington’s appointment to the board is effective November 17, 2025. Mr. Washington was appointed to serve on the management, development, and compensation committee of the board and will receive compensation for services as a non-employee director consistent with the compensation generally provided to our other non-employee directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between the new director and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there are no transactions involving the Company and the new director that we would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Washington will enter into standard indemnification agreements with us and TE Connectivity Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Our form of deed of indemnification and form of indemnification agreement with TE Connectivity Corporation were filed as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of TE Connectivity plc

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TE Connectivity plc (formerly TE Connectivity Ltd.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended September 26, 2025, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 26, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 10, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the finan
