[10-Q] TE Connectivity plc Quarterly Earnings Report
- None.
- None.
Insights
Solid Q3 rebound and strategic $2.3 bn acquisition offset by YTD profit compression and higher leverage; overall balanced implications.
Quarterly performance. Net sales rose 14% year-over-year to $4.53 bn, outpacing cost growth and lifting gross margin 70 bp to 35.3%. Operating income expanded 14% to $857 m, while diluted EPS climbed to $2.14 from $1.86. The quarter shows healthy demand across both new segments after the realignment announced for fiscal 2025.
Year-to-date view. Nine-month EPS fell 58% to $3.93, largely because last year contained a $0.78 bn tax benefit that swung to a $1.13 bn expense this year. Ex-tax, operating profit is roughly flat, suggesting underlying profitability has been maintained.
Cash flow and balance sheet. Operating cash flow improved 12% to $2.72 bn, but free cash flow turned negative after $3.30 bn of investing outflows, chiefly the Richards Manufacturing purchase. To fund the deal TE Connectivity issued $2.23 bn of new notes (2.5% 2028, 4.5% 2031, 5.0% 2035) and a 鈧�750 m 3.25% 2033 offering earlier in the year, pushing long-term debt to $4.85 bn (+$1.5 bn) and net cash to a $4.17 bn net debt position. EBITDA leverage remains moderate at ~1.5脳 on trailing numbers but is moving higher.
Strategic actions. Richards Manufacturing adds energy-grid exposure and $1.1 bn of identifiable intangibles; management guides for $15 m additional restructuring tied to footprint consolidation through 2032. The change in domicile to Ireland closed in September 2024 with immaterial P&L impact but may increase strategic flexibility for capital allocation.
Risk considerations. Acquisition integration risk, rising goodwill (now $7.25 bn) and intangible amortization could weigh on future margins. Debt matures progressively, yet 2026 roll-overs ($850 m) come sooner than synergy realization. New SEC climate-rule compliance (effective 2026) is acknowledged but not yet quantified.
Bottom line. The filing depicts a company investing for growth while absorbing tax normalization and higher leverage. Momentum in the current quarter is positive, but the full-year earnings dilution tempers the near-term outlook, leading to a neutral net impact.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Pronouncement
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity plc (“TE Connectivity” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.
The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 are to our fiscal years ending September 26, 2025 and ended September 27, 2024, respectively.
Change in Place of Incorporation
The merger between TE Connectivity Ltd., our former parent entity, and TE Connectivity plc, its wholly-owned subsidiary, was completed on September 30, 2024. TE Connectivity plc, a public limited company incorporated under Irish law, was the surviving entity and, as a result, our jurisdiction of incorporation changed from Switzerland to Ireland. Shareholders received
New Segment Structure
Effective for fiscal 2025, we reorganized our management and segments to align the organization around our current strategy. Our businesses in the former Communications Solutions segment have been moved into the Industrial Solutions segment. Also, the appliances and industrial equipment businesses have been combined to form the automation and connected living business. In addition, we realigned certain product lines and businesses from the Industrial Solutions and former Communications Solutions segments to the Transportation Solutions segment. The following represents the new segment structure:
| ● | Transportation Solutions—This segment contains our automotive, commercial transportation, and sensors businesses. |
| ● | Industrial Solutions—This segment contains our aerospace, defense, and marine; medical; energy; digital data networks (historically referred to as data and devices); and automation and connected living businesses. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
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 pending the completion of judicial review thereof by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Also, the SEC has informed the Eighth Circuit that although the SEC has ended its defense of the climate disclosure rules, it would like the Court to rule on the merits of the pending challenges to the adopted climate disclosure rules. We continue to monitor developments pertaining to the rules and any potential impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Richards Manufacturing Co.
On April 1, 2025, we acquired
The Richards Manufacturing acquisition was accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. We have preliminarily allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We are in the process of completing the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, fixed assets, and pre-acquisition contingencies and, therefore, the fair values set forth below are subject to adjustment upon finalizing the valuations. The amount of these potential adjustments could be significant. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

The fair values assigned to intangible assets were preliminarily determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi period excess earnings methods. Both valuation methods rely on management judgment, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. The valuation of tangible assets was derived using a combination of the income, market, and cost approaches. Significant judgments used in valuing tangible assets include estimated selling prices, costs to complete, and reasonable profit. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
Intangible assets acquired consisted of the following:

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. 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
We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 27, 2025, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $
Guarantees
In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Our obligation to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement and we are not required to post collateral with the financial institution.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the heading “Forward-Looking Information” and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
The following discussion includes organic net sales growth (decline) which is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” for additional information regarding this measure.
Overview
TE Connectivity plc (“TE Connectivity” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global industrial technology leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. 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, medical technology, and more.
Change in Place of Incorporation
At the beginning of fiscal 2025, our jurisdiction of incorporation changed from Switzerland to Ireland. We do not anticipate any material changes in our operations or financial results as a result of the change in place of incorporation. See additional information in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Summary of Performance
| ● | Our net sales increased 13.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 due to sales growth in the Industrial Solutions segment and, to a lesser degree, the Transportation Solutions segment. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, our net sales increased 6.2% due to sales growth in the Industrial Solutions segment, partially offset by sales declines in the Transportation Solutions segment. Richards Manufacturing Co. (“Richards Manufacturing”), which was acquired in April 2025, contributed net sales of $73 million. On an organic basis, our net sales increased 9.1% and 4.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. |
| ● | Our net sales by segment were as follows: |
| ● | Transportation Solutions—Our net sales increased 2.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 due primarily to sales increases in the automotive end market and, to a lesser degree, the commercial transportation end market. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, our net sales declined 2.5% as a result of sales declines in all end markets. |
26
Table of Contents
| ● | Industrial Solutions—Our net sales increased 30.0% and 19.7% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025, respectively, as a result of sales growth in the digital data networks; energy; aerospace, defense, and marine; and automation and connected living end markets, partially offset by sales declines in the medical end market. |
| ● | In June 2025, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.71 per ordinary share, payable on September 12, 2025, to shareholders of record on August 22, 2025. |
| ● | Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,718 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025. |
| ● | We acquired Richards Manufacturing, a U.S.-based producer of overhead and underground electrical and gas distribution products, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. |
Outlook
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we expect our net sales to be approximately $4.55 billion, as compared to $4.07 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. This increase is due primarily to sales growth in the Industrial Solutions segment, which will benefit from the recently completed acquisition of Richards Manufacturing. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be approximately $2.18 per share. This outlook reflects the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately $111 million and $0.03 per share, respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024 and includes the impact of currently enacted tariffs which we expect to largely mitigate through pricing actions and sourcing changes. 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 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 the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we acquired two additional businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $321 million, net of cash acquired. The acquired businesses have been reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.
See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding acquisitions.

Net sales increased $555 million, or 13.9%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to organic net sales growth of 9.1%, the positive impact of 3.1% from acquisitions, and the positive impact of foreign currency translation of 1.7% due to the strengthening of certain foreign currencies. Richards Manufacturing, which was acquired on April 1, 2025, contributed net sales of $73 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Net pricing actions positively affected organic net sales by $28 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, net sales increased $736 million, or 6.2%, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024 due primarily to organic net sales growth of 4.8% and the net positive impact of 1.7% from acquisitions and a divestiture. Richards Manufacturing contributed net sales of $73 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025. Net pricing actions positively affected organic net sales by $8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
See further discussion of net sales below under “Segment Results.”
Net Sales by Geographic Region. Our business operates in three geographic regions—Europe/Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”), Asia–Pacific, and the Americas—and our results of operations are influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar, compared to other currencies, will directly affect our reported results as we translate those currencies into U.S. dollars at the end of each fiscal period.
Approximately 60% of our net sales were invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the first nine months of fiscal 2025.

Gross margin increased $214 million and $346 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024 due primarily to higher volume and improved manufacturing productivity.
We use a wide variety of raw materials in the manufacture of our products. Cost of sales and gross margin are subject to variability in raw material prices, which continue to fluctuate for many of the raw materials we use.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $60 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due primarily to increased selling expenses to support higher sales levels, higher incentive compensation costs, and incremental expenses attributable to recently acquired businesses, partially offset by savings attributable to restructuring actions. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $73 million as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024 due primarily to increased selling expenses to support higher sales levels, higher incentive compensation costs, and incremental expenses attributable to recently acquired businesses, partially offset by savings attributable to restructuring actions and the release of reserves associated with trade compliance matters.
Acquisition and Integration Costs. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we incurred acquisition and integration costs of $41 million, of which $25 million related to the acquisition of Richards Manufacturing. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this acquisition.
Restructuring and Other Charges, Net. We are committed to continuous productivity improvements, and we evaluate opportunities to simplify our global manufacturing footprint, migrate facilities to lower-cost regions, reduce fixed costs, and eliminate excess capacity. These initiatives are designed to help us maintain our competitiveness in the industry, improve our operating leverage, and position us for future growth.
During fiscal 2025, we initiated a restructuring program associated with footprint consolidation and cost structure improvements in both of our segments. We incurred net restructuring charges of $97 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, of which $80 million related to the fiscal 2025 restructuring program. Annualized cost savings related to the fiscal 2025 actions commenced during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 are expected to be approximately $70 million and are expected to be fully realized by the end of fiscal 2026. Cost savings will be reflected primarily in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses. For fiscal 2025, we expect total restructuring charges to be approximately $110 million and total cash spend, which will be funded with cash from operations, to be approximately $200 million.
During both the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, we incurred costs of $11 million related to our change in place of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the change.

Net sales in the Transportation Solutions segment increased $67 million, or 2.8%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 from the third quarter of fiscal 2024 due to the positive impact of foreign currency translation of 1.7% and organic net sales growth of 1.1%. Our organic net sales by industry end market were as follows:
| ● | Automotive—Our organic net sales increased 1.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of growth of 10.5% in the Asia–Pacific region, partially offset by declines of 6.6% in the Americas region and 4.8% in the EMEA region. Our organic net sales growth in the Asia–Pacific region was due to increased content per vehicle as well as vehicle production growth. In the Americas and EMEA regions, our organic net sales were impacted by declines in vehicle production. |
| ● | Commercial transportation—Our organic net sales increased 2.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 due to growth in the Asia–Pacific and EMEA regions, partially offset by declines in the Americas region. |
| ● | Sensors—Our organic net sales decreased 3.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of market weakness in both industrial and transportation applications. |

In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, net sales in the Transportation Solutions segment decreased $176 million, or 2.5%, from the first nine months of fiscal 2024 due primarily to organic net sales declines of 1.9%. Our organic net sales by industry end market were as follows:
| ● | Automotive—Our organic net sales were flat in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 as declines of 11.3% in the EMEA region and 7.6% in the Americas region were largely offset by growth of 11.7% in the Asia–Pacific region. In the EMEA and Americas regions, our organic net sales were impacted by declines in vehicle production and a shift in platform mix consistent with consumer demand. Our organic net sales growth in the Asia–Pacific region resulted from increased content per vehicle as well as vehicle production growth. |
| ● | Commercial transportation—Our organic net sales decreased 4.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 as a result of declines in the Americas and EMEA regions, partially offset by growth in the Asia–Pacific region. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our access to capital markets, money markets, or other sources of funding, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements. We believe that cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, these other sources of potential funding will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs for the foreseeable future, including the repayment of $500 million of 4.50% senior notes and $350 million of 3.70% senior notes, both due in February 2026. Also, we may use funds to acquire strategic businesses or product lines, reduce our outstanding debt, or return cash to shareholders through dividends on our ordinary shares or purchases of our ordinary shares pursuant to our authorized share repurchase program. The cost or availability of future funding may be impacted by financial market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial markets and respond as necessary to changing conditions. We believe that we have sufficient financial resources and liquidity which will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital and other cash flow needs.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, net cash provided by operating activities increased $283 million to $2,718 million from $2,435 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The increase resulted primarily from a reduction in net income tax payments and higher pre-tax income, partially offset by the impact of changes in working capital levels. The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was $184 million and $384 million, respectively.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $665 million and $467 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect fiscal 2025 capital spending levels to be approximately 5% of net sales. We believe our capital funding levels are adequate to support new programs, and we continue to invest in our manufacturing infrastructure to further enhance productivity and manufacturing capabilities.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we acquired Richards Manufacturing for $2.3 billion, net of cash acquired. Also during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we acquired two additional businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $321 million, net of cash acquired. We acquired one business for a cash purchase price of $339 million, net of cash acquired, during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding acquisitions.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, we received net cash proceeds of $59 million related to the sale of one business. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities and Capitalization
Total debt at June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was $5,697 million and $4,203 million, respectively. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (“TEGSA”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued €500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% senior notes due in May 2028, $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due in February 2031, and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior notes due in May 2035. In connection with the issuance of these senior notes, we voluntarily elected to terminate the $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement, dated as of March 14, 2025. The net proceeds from these senior notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of Richards Manufacturing. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this acquisition.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, TEGSA issued €750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% senior notes due in January 2033.

Table of Contents
The notes issued during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025 are TEGSA’s unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and any future senior indebtedness of TEGSA and senior to any subordinated indebtedness that TEGSA may incur.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, TEGSA repaid, at maturity, €550 million of 0.00% senior notes due in February 2025.
At September 27, 2024, TEGSA had $255 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.95%. TEGSA had no commercial paper outstanding at June 27, 2025.
TEGSA has a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of April 2029 and aggregate commitments of $1.5 billion. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 27, 2025 or September 27, 2024.
The Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant providing that if, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeds 3.75 to 1.0, an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) is triggered. The Credit Facility and our other debt agreements contain other customary covenants. None of our covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations. As of June 27, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and believe that we will continue to be in compliance with our existing covenants for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the Credit Facility, TEGSA is the borrower under our senior notes and commercial paper. Payment obligations under TEGSA’s senior notes, commercial paper, and Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by TEGSA’s parent, TE Connectivity Switzerland Ltd., and its parent, TE Connectivity plc.
Payments of ordinary/common share dividends to shareholders were $594 million and $564 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In June 2025, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.71 per ordinary share, payable on September 12, 2025, to shareholders of record on August 22, 2025.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, our board of directors authorized an increase of $2.5 billion in our share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately six million of our ordinary shares for $916 million and approximately nine million of our common shares for $1,235 million under the share repurchase program during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. At June 27, 2025, we had $1.8 billion of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Guarantees
In certain instances, we have guaranteed the performance of third parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from fiscal 2025 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance, and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
At June 27, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $217 million.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.
Our accounting policies for revenue recognition, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, and pension plans are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management. For additional information regarding these policies and the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in these policies, refer to “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024. There were no significant changes to this information during the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
Accounting Pronouncement
See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding a recently issued accounting pronouncement.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline)
We present organic net sales growth (decline) as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider this adjusted financial measure in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. Organic net sales growth (decline) represents net sales growth (decline) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic net sales growth (decline) is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that are not completely under management’s control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity.
Organic net sales growth (decline) provides useful information about our results and the trends of our business. Management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate performance. Also, management uses this measure together with GAAP financial measures in its decision-making processes related to the operations of our reportable segments and our overall company. It is also a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating operations. The tables presented in “Results of Operations” and “Segment Results” provide reconciliations of organic net sales growth (decline) to net sales growth (decline) calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Organic net sales growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a replacement for results in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The primary limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using organic net sales growth (decline) in combination with net sales growth (decline) to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of June 27, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 27, 2025.
Richards Manufacturing Acquisition
We acquired Richards Manufacturing on April 1, 2025. For additional information regarding the acquisition, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 intend to exclude Richards Manufacturing from our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 27, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material developments in our legal proceedings since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024. Refer to “Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024 for additional information regarding legal proceedings.
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 for the quarter ended June 27, 2025.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024 except as set forth below. The risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in addition to other information described below and in this report, could materially affect our business operations, financial condition, or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
If any of our operations are found not to comply with applicable antitrust or competition laws or applicable trade regulations, our business may suffer.
Our operations are subject to applicable antitrust and competition laws in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business, in particular the U.S. and the European Union. These laws prohibit, among other things, anticompetitive agreements and practices. If any of our commercial agreements and practices with respect to the electronic components or other markets are found to violate or infringe such laws, we may be subject to civil and other penalties. We may also be subject to third-party claims for damages. Further, agreements that infringe these antitrust and competition laws may be void and unenforceable, in whole or in part, or require modification to be lawful and enforceable. If we are unable to enforce our commercial agreements, whether at all or in material part, our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be adversely affected.
We also must comply with applicable trade regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. A small portion 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. Any failure to maintain compliance with trade regulations could limit our ability to import and export raw materials and finished goods into or from the relevant jurisdiction, which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

U.S. federal tax laws could result in adverse consequences to U.S. persons treated as owning 10% or more of our shares.
Although we are an Irish company, application of current U.S. tax law ownership attribution rules may cause non-U.S. subsidiaries to be treated as Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the current rules, a U.S. person that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as owning, directly, indirectly, or constructively, 10% or more of our shares may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of certain types of income earned by our subsidiaries that are treated as CFCs, whether or not we make any distributions to such U.S. shareholder. Under recently enacted legislation, the current attribution rules cease to apply for tax years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2025, and, as a result, based on our current ownership structure, our non-U.S. subsidiaries will not be treated as CFCs as of our tax year beginning September 28, 2026. A U.S. person that owns 10% or more of our shares should consult a tax adviser regarding the potential implications. The risk of U.S. federal income tax reporting and compliance obligations with respect to our subsidiaries that are treated as CFCs may deter our current shareholders from increasing their investment in us, and others from investing in us, which could impact the demand for, and value of, our shares.
