_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 [removed: securities._ _These risks are not the only ones facing us.][added: securities.]
Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by economic conditions regionally or globally, including new or [removed: increased] [added: increasing] tariffs and other barriers to trade, including [removed: escalation of] [added: ongoing] trade and tariff tensions between the United States (“U.S.”), China, the EU, and other countries, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, [removed: inflation,] [added: inflation or deflation,] 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.
[removed: 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.
Approximately [removed: 60%] [added: 55%] of our net sales for fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] 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.
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 [removed: decrease.][added: decrease, which may have an adverse effect on our operating results as reported in U.S. dollars.]
Downgrades of sovereign debt credit ratings [added: in the past] have similarly affected the availability and cost of capital.
| | · | instability in economic or political conditions, including elections, sovereign debt levels, government shutdowns, Eurozone uncertainty, inflation, recession, and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts, including the continuing military conflicts in certain parts of the [removed: world;] [added: world] and [added: any resulting supply chain or other disruptions; and] |
In addition, approximately 25% of our net sales in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] were made to customers in China.
Accordingly, our operations and transactions with customers in China could be adversely affected by changes to market [removed: conditions,] [added: conditions;] changes to the regulatory [removed: environment,] [added: environment;] increased trade barriers, tariffs, or [removed: restrictions,] [added: restrictions;] or interpretation of Chinese law.
Various legislative and regulatory proposals have been directed at multinational [removed: companies with operations in lower-tax jurisdictions.][added: companies, such as:]
| | · | [added: The global minimum tax framework developed by] the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) [removed: and participating countries continue to enact the 15% global minimum tax. The global minimum tax is] [added: represents] a significant structural change to the international [removed: taxation framework] [added: tax system,] and [removed: more than 50] [added: participating] countries [removed: have thus far enacted some or all elements of the] [added: continue to enact and implement rules imposing a 15% global minimum] tax. Ireland [removed: has] implemented [removed: elements of] the OECD’s global minimum tax rules, which were effective for us beginning in fiscal 2025. We anticipate further legislative activity and administrative [removed: guidance. We continue to closely monitor] [added: guidance as] the [removed: evolving global minimum tax] framework [added: evolves] and [added: will continue to] assess the implications in the jurisdictions in which we operate. |
[removed: This increased focus] [added: Public awareness regarding climate change] has led to international treaties and agreements and legislative and regulatory efforts.
In addition to government requirements, our customers [removed: are] also [removed: increasingly imposing] [added: impose] climate-related requirements on their suppliers, including us.
Any failure, or perceived failure, to comply with these requirements may result in reduced demand for our products, reputational harm, or other adverse impacts [removed: to] [added: on] our business.
Any future regulatory changes in any of the countries in which we operate could result in transition risks to us, including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and timing of any requirement to lower GHG emissions and adopt more energy-efficient energy use, which could result in changes or disruptions to the way we operate, (ii) financial risks where the compliance with such regulations requires unforeseen capital expenditures and becomes costly or financially burdensome, [removed: (iii) legal risks associated with the failure to adapt to or comply with future climate change-related regulations, (iv) risks of climate litigation associated with our disclosures and/or operations; (v) risks associated with the implementation of any new]
[added: (iii) legal risks associated with the failure to adapt to or comply with future climate change-related regulations, (iv) risks of climate litigation associated with our disclosures and/or operations; (v) risks associated with the implementation of any new] technologies required to comply with such regulations, which could impede our ability to innovate new products, meet customer and market demand, or compete on pricing and quality in the market, and/or (vi) reputational risks associated with our customers’ and investors’ perceptions of us and their preferences for maintaining relationships with companies with lower emissions, all of which could harm our reputation in the marketplace.
[removed: Increasing] [added: Continued] scrutiny and expectations regarding environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) [added: and sustainability] matters could result in additional costs or risks or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Companies across industries [removed: are facing increasing] [added: face] scrutiny from a variety of stakeholders related to their ESG and sustainability practices.
Approximately [removed: 41%] [added: 38%] of our net sales for fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] were to customers in the automotive end market.
During fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] approximately [removed: 13%] [added: 16%] of our net sales were to customers in the digital data networks end [removed: market,] [added: market and] approximately 12% of our net sales were to customers in the automation and connected living end [removed: market, and approximately 9% of our net sales were to customers in the aerospace, defense, and marine end] market.
The overall market trends of increased data connectivity and continued movement to [removed: artificial intelligence (“AI”) and cloud] [added: AI] applications have had a favorable impact on demand.
[added: Our overall competitive position depends on various factors including the price,] quality, and performance of our products; the level of customer service; the development of new technology; our ability to participate in emerging markets; and customers’ expectations relating to socially responsible operations.
[removed: The competition we] experience across product lines from other companies ranges in size from large, diversified manufacturers to small, highly specialized manufacturers.
AI technologies are [removed: complex and rapidly evolving,] [added: complex,] and we face significant competition, including from our own clients, who may develop their own internal AI-related capabilities, which can lead to reduced demand for our products.
The development, adoption, and use of AI technologies is still in the early stages and [removed: involve] [added: involves] significant risks and uncertainties, which may expose us to legal, reputational, and financial harm.
Although pricing actions initiated in recent years have positively impacted our net sales, we have [removed: historically] [added: previously] experienced price erosion averaging from 1% to 2% each year.
[removed: We may] [added: We may] be negatively affected as our customers and vendors continue to consolidate.
Our results are sensitive to raw material availability, quality, and [removed: cost] [added: cost,] and shortages, deteriorations in quality, or price increases could lead to a materially negative impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
In addition, feedstock for resins and resins themselves, as well as certain other commodities, are increasingly subject to varied and unrelated force majeure events worldwide further [removed: impacting price and availability.]
Competition for management talent is intense, and any difficulties we may have [removed: to retain] [added: in retaining] or [removed: hire] [added: hiring] members of management to achieve our objectives may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
[added: In the normal course of business, we rely on information] technology networks and systems, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities.
[removed: If countries in which we operate or do business were to adopt data localization or data residency laws, we could be required to implement new or] expand existing data storage protocols, build new storage facilities, and/or devote additional resources to comply with the requirements of such laws, any of which could have significant implications to business operations and costs.
We cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient funds available or access to funding to repurchase tendered notes in that event, which could result in a default under the [added: notes.]
Likewise, from time to time, we experience difficulty and unanticipated expenses associated with purchasing and integrating [removed: acquisitions,] [added: acquired businesses,] and [removed: acquisitions] [added: the acquired businesses] do not always perform and deliver the financial benefits expected.
In addition, we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements, or become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, [removed: that] [added: which] could cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
[removed: A small portion] [added: Some] of our products, including defense-related products, may require governmental import and export licenses, the issuance of which may be influenced by geopolitical and other events.
[removed: These laws could make the] manufacture or sale of our products more expensive or impossible, could limit our ability to sell our products in certain jurisdictions, and could result in liability for product recalls, penalties, or other claims.
Irish law generally provides that a [added: company’s] board of directors may allot and issue shares (or rights to subscribe for or convert into shares) without being required first to offer those shares to existing shareholders on a pro-rata basis, if authorized to do so by [removed: a] [added: the] company’s [removed: constitution] [added: articles of association] or by resolution of [removed: shareholders.][added: shareholders of the company.]
Such authorization may be granted in respect of up to the entirety of a company’s authorized but unissued share capital and for a maximum period of five years, at which point [removed: it] [added: the authorization] must be renewed by another shareholder resolution.
[removed: These authorizations] [added: This authorization] will need to be renewed upon its expiration and at periodic intervals thereafter.
These risks are not the only ones facing us.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in U.S. dollars; however, many of our non-U.S. operations have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, and their results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.
The competition we
AI technologies are rapidly evolving and are expected to play an increasingly important role in enhancing productivity, accelerating innovation, improving engineering and manufacturing processes, supporting customer engagement, and enabling data-driven decision making across business.
As AI technologies continue to evolve, future adoption of more autonomous capabilities may introduce additional legal, regulatory, operational, cybersecurity, safety, and reputational risks.
If we are unable to effectively address the risks associated with the development, deployment, use, or governance of AI technologies, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation could be adversely affected.
Additionally, there can be no assurances that the use of AI technologies will enhance our products and service or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency, safety, or profitability.
We continue to experience general downward pressure on our prices.

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.
There has been heightened focus on adoption of such legislation and on other initiatives, such as:
There is increased public awareness regarding climate change.
The aerospace and defense industry has undergone significant fluctuations in demand as a result of economic and political conditions.
Our overall competitive position depends on various factors including the price,

Summary of Fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] Performance
| | ● | _Transportation Solutions_—Our net sales [removed: decreased 1.0%] [added: increased 7.3%] in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] due [removed: primarily] to sales [removed: declines] [added: increases] in the [removed: sensors] [added: automotive] and commercial transportation end markets. |
| | ● | _Industrial Solutions_—Our net sales increased [removed: 23.7%] [added: 25.8%] in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026 primarily] as a result of sales growth in the digital data networks; energy; automation and connected living; and aerospace, defense, and marine end [removed: markets, partially offset by sales declines in the medical end market.] [added: markets.] |
| | ● | We paid cash dividends to shareholders of [removed: $2.72] [added: $2.98] per ordinary share in fiscal [removed: 2025.] [added: 2026.] Also, in September [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] our [removed: board] [added: Board] of [removed: directors declared a regular quarterly] [added: Directors approved an interim] cash dividend of [removed: $0.71] [added: $0.78] per ordinary share, payable on December [removed: 12, 2025,] [added: 11, 2026,] to shareholders of record on November [removed: 21, 2025.] [added: 20, 2026.] |
| | ● | Net cash provided by operating activities was [removed: $4,139] [added: $4,525] million in fiscal [removed: 2025.] [added: 2026.] |
Also, we have [removed: taken] [added: taken,] and continue to focus [removed: on] [added: on,] actions to manage costs, including restructuring and [added: other cost reduction initiatives such as reducing discretionary spending.]
We continue to monitor military conflicts in certain parts of the world as well as escalating tensions in surrounding [removed: countries and] [added: countries,] associated [removed: sanctions.][added: sanctions, and any resulting supply chain or other disruptions.]
These did not have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations during fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] and [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
In the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2026,] [added: 2027,] we expect our net sales to be approximately [removed: $4.5] [added: $5.35] billion as compared to [removed: $3.8] [added: $4.67] billion in the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
We expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be approximately [removed: $2.33] [added: $3.04] per share in the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2026.][added: 2027.]
This outlook reflects the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately [removed: $113] [added: $17] million and [removed: $0.02] [added: $0.06] per share, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal [removed: 2026] [added: 2027] as compared to the same period of fiscal [removed: 2025 and includes the impact of currently enacted tariffs.][added: 2026.]
[removed: Also, this] [added: The above] outlook is based on foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.
[removed: As discussed above, on April 1,] [added: During fiscal] 2025, we acquired 100% of Richards [removed: Manufacturing,] [added: Manufacturing Co. (“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.
[removed: During] [added: Also during] fiscal 2025, we acquired two additional businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $321 million, net of cash acquired.
[removed: The] [added: These] acquired businesses have been reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

Net sales increased [removed: $1,417] [added: $2,623] million, or [removed: 8.9%,] [added: 15.2%,] in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
The increase in net sales resulted primarily from organic net sales growth of [removed: 6.4%] [added: 11.9%, the positive impact of foreign currency translation of 2.2%,] and the [removed: net] positive impact of [removed: 2.2%] [added: 1.6%] from [removed: acquisitions and a divestiture.][added: acquisitions.]
Richards Manufacturing, which was acquired on April 1, 2025, contributed [added: incremental] net sales of [removed: $179] [added: $227] million in [added: the first six months of] fiscal [added: 2026 over the same period of fiscal] 2025.
In fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] net pricing actions positively affected organic net sales by [removed: $51] [added: $185] million.
We sell our products into approximately 130 countries, and approximately [removed: 60%] [added: 55%] of our net sales were invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
The percentage of net sales in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] by major currencies invoiced was as follows:
| Currencies | [added: ] | Percentage | [added: ] | [added: ] |
| U.S. dollar | | [removed: 43] [added: 45] | % | |
| Euro | | [removed: 27] [added: 26] | | |
| Japanese yen | | [removed: 4] [added: 3] | | |
| | ● | Our fiscal 2026 net sales increased 15.2% from fiscal 2025 due to sales growth in both the Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments. On an organic basis, our net sales increased 11.9% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. |
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were not authorized by the statute.
Following a March 2026 order to refund IEEPA tariffs, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (“CBP”) launched a refund process in April 2026 through which eligible importers could request refunds.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we filed certain claims and received tariff refunds of $91 million which were recorded as a reduction to cost of sales.
These refunds relate to IEEPA tariffs paid since they were originally imposed in 2025 through February 2026.
We expect to return $87 million of these refunds to customers and, as such, that amount was recorded as a reduction to net sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
The
timing and amount of any further tariff refunds remain uncertain, and, accordingly, no benefit was recognized as of fiscal year end 2026 for any additional potential refunds related to IEEPA tariffs previously paid.
Our outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 does not include results related to our anticipated acquisition of Astrodyne TDI (“Astrodyne”).
For fiscal 2027, we expect double-digit sales growth driven by sales increases in the Industrial Solutions segment, which includes the benefit of our anticipated acquisition of Astrodyne, and, to a lesser degree, the Transportation Solutions segment.
Organic net sales growth in fiscal 2027 is expected to be consistent with fiscal 2026 levels.
One of the acquisitions includes certain earn-out provisions based on business performance for which we have estimated the acquisition-date fair value to be approximately $150 million.
Pending Acquisition
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Astrodyne, a leading manufacturer of power and filter solutions, for approximately $1.4 billion in cash.
The transaction, which is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2026, is subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
The business will be reported as part of the automation and connected living business within our Industrial Solutions segment.

The “Segment Results” section also discusses fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 because of the change in our segment structure discussed below.
During fiscal 2024, our board of directors and shareholders approved a change in our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland.
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.
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.
| | ● | Our fiscal 2025 net sales increased 8.9% from fiscal 2024 due to sales growth in the Industrial Solutions segment, partially offset by sales declines in the Transportation Solutions segment. Richards Manufacturing, which was acquired in April 2025, contributed net sales of $179 million. On an organic basis, our net sales increased 6.4% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. |
other cost reduction initiatives such as reducing discretionary spending and travel.
The Industrial Solutions segment will benefit from the acquisition of Richards Manufacturing.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired approximately 98.7% of the outstanding shares of Schaffner Holding AG (“Schaffner”), a leader in electromagnetic solutions based in Switzerland, for CHF 505.00 per share in cash for a purchase price of CHF 294 million (equivalent to $339 million), net of cash acquired.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we completed a squeeze-out of the remaining minority shareholders for $5 million and the Schaffner shares were delisted from the SIX Swiss Exchange.

Income Taxes. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of items impacting income tax expense and the effective tax rate.
The OECD and participating countries continue to enact the 15% global minimum tax.
The global minimum tax is a significant structural change to the international taxation framework and more than 50 countries have thus far enacted some or all elements of the tax.
Ireland has implemented elements of the OECD’s global minimum tax rules, which were effective for us beginning 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 anticipate further legislative activity and administrative guidance.
We continue to closely monitor the evolving global minimum tax framework and assess the implications in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $8,821 million and $8,285 million at fiscal year end 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During fiscal 2024, our board of directors and shareholders approved a change in our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland.
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.

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-06, _Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software_, to simplify accounting for internal-use software costs.
The update will allow for capitalization of costs when management authorizes and commits to funding a project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended.
The amendments are effective for us in fiscal 2029; however, early adoption is permitted.
We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued its final climate disclosure rules, _The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors_, which require all registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports.
The rules require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, governance and oversight of such risks, material climate targets and goals, and Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, on a phased-in basis, when those emissions are material.
In addition, the final rules require certain disclosures in the notes to the financial statements, including the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions.
The rules are effective for us on a phased-in timeline starting in fiscal 2026; however, in April 2024, the SEC issued an order to voluntarily stay its final climate rules.
We continue to monitor developments pertaining to the rules and any potential impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The amendments are effective for us in fiscal 2026.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, _Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures_, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.
We adopted this update, on a retrospective basis, for our fiscal 2025 Annual Report.
