Summary of Fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] Performance
| | ● | Our fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] net sales [removed: decreased 1.2%] [added: increased 8.9%] from fiscal [removed: 2023 levels] [added: 2024] due to sales [removed: declines] [added: growth] in the [removed: Transportation Solutions and] Industrial Solutions [removed: segments,] [added: segment,] partially offset by sales [removed: growth] [added: declines] in the [removed: Communications] [added: Transportation] Solutions segment. [added: Richards Manufacturing, which was acquired in April 2025, contributed net sales of $179 million.] On an organic basis, our net sales [removed: were flat] [added: increased 6.4%] in fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2023.] [added: 2024.] |
| | ● | _Transportation Solutions_—Our net sales decreased [removed: 2.0%] [added: 1.0% in fiscal 2025] due primarily to sales declines in the sensors [removed: end market and, to a lesser degree, the] [added: and] commercial transportation end [removed: market.] [added: markets.] |
| | ● | Net cash provided by operating activities was [removed: $3,477] [added: $4,139] million in fiscal [removed: 2024.] [added: 2025.] |
The global economy has been impacted in recent years by supply chain [removed: disruptions and] [added: disruptions,] inflationary cost [removed: pressures.][added: pressures, and, most recently, tariff and trade policies.]
Also, we have taken and continue to focus on actions to manage costs, including restructuring and [removed: other cost reduction initiatives such as reducing discretionary spending and travel.]
These did not have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations during fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
In the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] we expect our net sales to be approximately [removed: $3.9] [added: $4.5] billion as compared to $3.8 billion in the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
We expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be approximately [removed: $1.64] [added: $2.33] per share in the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
This outlook reflects the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately [removed: $32] [added: $113] million and [removed: $0.04] [added: $0.02] per share, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] as compared to the same period of fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025 and includes the impact of currently enacted tariffs.]

Net Sales by Geographic Region. Our business operates in three geographic [removed: regions—EMEA, Asia–Pacific,] [added: regions—Asia–Pacific, EMEA,] and the Americas—and our results of operations are influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We sell our products into approximately 130 countries, and approximately 60% of our net sales were invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

The “Segment Results” section also discusses fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 because of the change in our segment structure discussed below.
The merger was completed on September 30, 2024, thereby changing our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland.
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.
| | ● | _Industrial Solutions_—Our net sales increased 23.7% in fiscal 2025 as a result of sales growth in the digital data networks; energy; automation and connected living; and aerospace, defense, and marine end markets, partially offset by sales declines in the medical end market. |
| | ● | We paid cash dividends to shareholders of $2.72 per ordinary share in fiscal 2025. Also, in September 2025, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.71 per ordinary share, payable on December 12, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 21, 2025. |
other cost reduction initiatives such as reducing discretionary spending and travel.
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.
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.
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 businesses have been reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

| Total | | $ | 1,417 | | 8.9 | % | $ | 1,018 | | 6.4 | % | $ | 51 | | $ | 348 | |
Net sales increased $1,417 million, or 8.9%, in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024.
The increase in net sales resulted primarily from organic net sales growth of 6.4% and the net positive impact of 2.2% from acquisitions and a divestiture.
Richards Manufacturing, which was acquired on April 1, 2025, contributed net sales of $179 million in fiscal 2025.

In January 2025, the OECD released new guidance for the global minimum tax rules which impacted the realizability of certain deferred tax assets associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary in fiscal 2024.
We continue to closely monitor the evolving global minimum tax framework and assess the implications in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The merger and change in jurisdiction of incorporation were completed on September 30, 2024.
Our shareholders received one ordinary share of TE Connectivity plc for each common share of TE Connectivity Ltd. held immediately prior to the merger.
| | ● | _Industrial Solutions_—Our net sales decreased 1.5% as a result of sales declines in the industrial equipment end market, partially offset by sales growth in all other end markets. |
| | ● | _Communications Solutions_—Our net sales increased 3.7% due to sales growth in the data and devices end market, partially offset by sales declines in the appliances end market. |
| | ● | During fiscal 2024, our shareholders approved a dividend payment of $2.60 per share, payable in four equal quarterly installments of $0.65 per share beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and ending in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. |
As discussed below, we will have a new segment structure effective for fiscal 2025.
Under the new structure, net sales increases in the Industrial Solutions segment are expected to be partially offset by sales declines in the Transportation Solutions segment.
Additionally, during fiscal 2023, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $68 million when the business was reclassified to held for sale.
During fiscal 2023, we sold three businesses for net cash proceeds of $48 million.
In connection with the divestitures, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges and a net pre-tax loss on sales, which totaled to a net charge of $9 million.
The businesses sold were reported in our Industrial Solutions segment.

Net sales decreased $189 million, or 1.2%, in fiscal 2024 as compared to fiscal 2023.
The decrease in net sales resulted primarily from the negative impact of foreign currency translation of 0.7% due to the weakening of certain foreign currencies and the net negative impact of 0.3% from divestitures and acquisitions.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $27 million in fiscal 2024 from fiscal 2023 due to higher interest rates as well as an increase in our average cash balances held and invested.
The global minimum tax is a significant structural change to the international taxation framework, which will affect us beginning in fiscal 2025.
We are currently monitoring these developments and evaluating the impact, which could be material to our cash taxes and worldwide corporate effective tax rate.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Richards Manufacturing Co., which was acquired on April 1, 2025, and whose financial statements constitute 8% of total assets and 1% of total net sales of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025.
Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Richards Manufacturing Co.

We operated through three reportable segments during fiscal 2024:
| | ● | _Communications Solutions_—The Communications Solutions segment is a leading supplier of electronic components for the data and devices and the appliances markets. |
Fiscal 2022 was 53 weeks in length.
The merger and change in jurisdiction of incorporation were completed on September 30, 2024.
We are currently assessing the impact of the rules on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The amendments are effective for our fiscal 2025 Annual Report and subsequent interim periods; however, early adoption is permitted.
The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, _Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations_, to enhance transparency and introduce new disclosures related to an entity’s use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services.
The ASU requires us, as a buyer in a supplier finance program, to disclose the key terms of the program, the amount of obligations outstanding, the balance sheet presentation of such amounts, and a rollforward of the obligation activity during the annual period.
We adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
