NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

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 26, 2025.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 are to our fiscal years ending September 25, 2026 and ended September 26, 2025, respectively.

​

Fiscal 2026 Actions

During fiscal 2026, we initiated a restructuring program to optimize our manufacturing footprint and improve the cost structure of our organization. During the six months ended March 27, 2026, we recorded restructuring charges of $6 million in connection with this program. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during the six months ended March 27, 2026 by the end of fiscal 2028 and anticipate that additional charges related to actions commenced during the six months ended March 27, 2026 will be insignificant.

Fiscal 2025 Actions

During fiscal 2025, we initiated a restructuring program associated with footprint consolidation and cost structure improvements in both of our segments. In connection with this program, during the six months ended March 27, 2026 and March 28, 2025, we recorded restructuring credits of $3 million and charges of $77 million, respectively. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2025 by the end of fiscal 2033 and to incur additional charges of approximately $11 million related primarily to facility exit costs in the Industrial Solutions segment.

Pre-Fiscal 2025 Actions

During both the six months ended March 27, 2026 and March 28, 2025, we recorded net restructuring charges of $10 million related to pre-fiscal 2025 actions. We expect that any additional charges related to restructuring actions commenced prior to fiscal 2025 will be insignificant.

​

​

7. Debt

During the quarter ended March 27, 2026, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (“TEGSA”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due in February 2031 and $550 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due in February 2036. The February 2031 senior notes represent a further issuance of TEGSA’s outstanding $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes which were issued in fiscal 2025 and bring the total aggregate principal amount of the 4.50% senior notes due in February 2031 to $650 million. The new notes 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 quarter ended March 27, 2026, TEGSA repaid, at maturity, $500 million of 4.50% senior notes and $350 million of 3.70% senior notes, both due in February 2026.

At March 27, 2026, TEGSA had $100 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.0%. TEGSA had no commercial paper outstanding at September 26, 2025.

TEGSA entered into a new five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) in February 2026 with aggregate commitments of $3.0 billion, which refinanced and replaced in full TEGSA’s existing $1.5 billion five-year

TE CONNECTIVITY PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)****(Continued)

unsecured senior revolving credit facility (the “Replaced Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures in February 2031 and contains provisions that allow for incremental commitments of up to $1.0 billion, subject to terms and conditions in the Credit Facility. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 27, 2026 or the Replaced Credit Facility at September 26, 2025.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TEGSA, (1) with respect to borrowings in U.S. dollars, (a) the term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (b) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) Bank of America, N.A.’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (iii) the Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1%, and (iv) 1%, (2) with respect to borrowings in euro, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (3) with respect to borrowings in sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, and (4) with respect to borrowings in yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of TEGSA. TEGSA is required to pay an annual facility fee. Based on the applicable credit ratings of TEGSA, this fee ranges from 5.0 to 12.5 basis points of the lenders’ commitments under the Credit Facility.

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.

The fair value of our debt, based on indicative valuations, was approximately $5,568 million and $5,725 million at March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively.

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, 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. 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.

Trade Compliance Matters

As part of our ongoing internal compliance activities, we have been investigating compliance with relevant country of origin for import matters and recently made a voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency regarding potential Section 301 unpaid duties, fees, and interest for certain imported products into the U.S. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of investigation into this matter. An unfavorable outcome may include unpaid duties, fees, interest, and penalties imposed in response to our disclosures. Based on currently available information, we have reserved an aggregate of $27 million related to this exposure. The investigation into this matter has yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigation and related duties, fees, interest, and potential penalties may differ from amounts currently reserved.

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 March 27, 2026, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $20 million to $53 million, and we accrued $27 million as the probable loss, which was the best estimate within this range. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

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.

At March 27, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $251 million to support normal business activities.

Supply Chain Finance Program

We have an agreement with a financial institution that allows participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations. The financial institution has separate arrangements with the suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment for invoices. We do not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the financial institution and suppliers. Our obligation to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted

TE CONNECTIVITY PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)****(Continued)

by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement and we are not required to post collateral with the financial institution. The outstanding payment obligations under our supply chain finance program, which are included in accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $134 million and $161 million at March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively.

10. Financial Instruments

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. 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. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months.

Hedge of Net Investment

We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany loans and external borrowings denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $3,370 million and $4,212 million at March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively.

We also use a cross-currency swap program to hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations. The aggregate notional value of the contracts under this program was $5,712 million and $5,671 million at March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 1.9% per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal 2031, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in the designated foreign currency and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. We are not required to provide collateral for these contracts.

These cross-currency swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

​

​

The impacts of our hedge of net investment programs were as follows:

​

(1) Recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and offset by changes attributable to the translation of the net investment.

Commodity Hedges

As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production. These contracts had an aggregate notional value of $644 million and $569 million at March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively, and were designated as cash flow hedges. These commodity swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

​

​

The impacts of our commodity swap contracts were as follows:

​

​

We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with commodity hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months.

The income tax expense for the quarter ended March 28, 2025 included $574 million of income tax expense related to a net increase in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary in fiscal 2024.

We recorded income tax expense of $297 million and $920 million for the six months ended March 27, 2026 and March 28, 2025, respectively. The income tax expense for the six months ended March 27, 2026 included a $114 million net income tax benefit related primarily to the settlement of prior period tax matters. The income tax expense for the six months ended March 28, 2025 included $574 million of income tax expense related to a net increase in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary in fiscal 2024. In addition, the

TE CONNECTIVITY PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)****(Continued)

income tax expense for the six months ended March 28, 2025 included $13 million of income tax expense related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of a decrease in the corporate tax rate in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

We record accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense (benefit). As of March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, we had $41 million and $89 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, recorded primarily in income taxes. During the six months ended March 27, 2026, we recognized an income tax benefit of $48 million related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Substantially all of this income tax benefit was recognized as part of the settlement of prior period tax matters discussed above.

13. Earnings Per Share

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

​

​

The following share options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the instruments’ underlying exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of our ordinary shares and inclusion would be antidilutive:

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. 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.

Summary of Performance

• Our net sales increased 14.5% and 18.0% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2025 due to sales growth in both the Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments. Richards Manufacturing Co. (“Richards Manufacturing”), which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, contributed net sales of $120 million and $227 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. On an organic basis, our net sales increased 7.2% and 11.0% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2025.
• Our net sales by segment were as follows:
• Transportation Solutions—Our net sales increased 4.7% and 7.3% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, due primarily to sales increases in the automotive and commercial transportation end markets.
• Industrial Solutions—Our net sales increased 27.0% and 32.2% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, primarily as a result of sales growth in the digital data networks, energy, and automation and connected living end markets.
• In March 2026, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.78 per ordinary share, payable on June 12, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 22, 2026.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,812 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026.

Outlook

In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect our net sales to be approximately $5.0 billion, as compared to $4.5 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. This increase is due to sales growth in both the Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments. Additionally, we expect our sales in both the Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments to increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be approximately $2.44 per share. This outlook reflects the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately $51 million and $0.02 per share, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2025. Also, this outlook is based on foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.

Acquisition

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we acquired one business for a cash purchase price of $200 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition includes certain earn-out provisions based on business performance for which we have estimated the acquisition-date fair value to be approximately $150 million. The acquired business has been reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

The following table presents our net sales and the percentage of total net sales by segment:

The following table provides an analysis of the change in our net sales by segment:

Net sales increased $601 million, or 14.5%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 due to organic net sales growth of 7.2%, the positive impact of foreign currency translation of 4.4% due to the strengthening of certain foreign currencies, and the positive impact of 2.9% from an acquisition. Richards Manufacturing, which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, contributed net sales of $120 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Net pricing actions positively affected organic net sales by $45 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

In the first six months of fiscal 2026, net sales increased $1,434 million, or 18.0%, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025 due to organic net sales growth of 11.0%, the positive impact of foreign currency translation of 3.6% due to the strengthening of certain foreign currencies, and the positive impact of 3.4% from acquisitions. Richards Manufacturing contributed net sales of $227 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026. Net pricing actions positively affected organic net sales by $51 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026.

See further discussion of net sales below under “Segment Results.”

Net Sales by Geographic Region. Our business operates in three geographic regions—Asia–Pacific, Europe/Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”), 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 six months of fiscal 2026.

The following table presents our net sales and the percentage of total net sales by geographic region(1):

(1) Net sales to external customers are attributed to individual countries based on the legal entity that records the sale.

The following table provides an analysis of the change in our net sales by geographic region:

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

The following table presents cost of sales and gross margin information:

Gross margin increased $286 million and $665 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2025 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. The following table presents the average prices incurred related to copper, gold, silver, and palladium:

We expect to purchase approximately 190 million pounds of copper, 105,000 troy ounces of gold, 1.8 million troy ounces of silver, and 14,000 troy ounces of palladium in fiscal 2026.

Operating Expenses

The following table presents operating expense information:

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $82 million and $193 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2025 due primarily to increased selling expenses to support higher sales levels, higher incentive compensation costs, the negative impact of foreign currency translation, and the release of reserves associated with trade compliance matters in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

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 2026, we initiated a restructuring program to optimize our manufacturing footprint and improve the cost structure of our organization. We incurred net restructuring charges of $13 million during the first six months of fiscal 2026, of which $6 million related to our fiscal 2026 program. Annualized cost savings related to the fiscal 2026 actions commenced during the first six months of fiscal 2026 are expected to be approximately $3 million and are expected to be fully realized by the end of fiscal 2027. Cost savings will be reflected primarily in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses. For fiscal 2026, we expect total restructuring charges to be approximately $100 million and total cash spend, which will be funded with cash from operations, to be approximately $110 million.

See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding net restructuring and other charges.

Operating Income

The following table presents operating income and operating margin information:

Operating income included the following:

See discussion of operating income below under “Segment Results.”

Non-Operating Items

The following table presents select non-operating information:

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $42 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025 due primarily to higher average debt levels and cost of debt.

Income Taxes. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of income taxes.

Segment Results

Transportation Solutions

Net Sales. The following table presents the Transportation Solutions segment’s net sales and the percentage of total net sales by industry end market:

The following table provides an analysis of the change in the Transportation Solutions segment’s net sales by industry end market:

Net sales in the Transportation Solutions segment increased $108 million, or 4.7%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from the second quarter of fiscal 2025 due primarily to the positive impact of foreign currency translation of 5.2%. Net price erosion negatively affected organic net sales by $12 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Our organic net sales by industry end market were as follows:

• *Automotive—*Our organic net sales decreased 3.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as a result of declines of 7.9% in the Americas region and 6.1% in the Asia–Pacific region, partially offset by growth of 1.5% in the EMEA 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. We may use excess cash 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. We may also use excess cash and other funding to make strategic acquisitions. 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 six months of fiscal 2026, net cash provided by operating activities increased $281 million to $1,812 million from $1,531 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The increase resulted primarily from higher pre-tax income, partially offset by the impact of changes in working capital levels and an increase in income tax payments. The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was $223 million and $164 million, respectively.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $528 million and $435 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. We expect fiscal 2026 capital spending levels to be approximately 6% 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 six months of fiscal 2026, we acquired one business for a cash purchase price of $200 million, net of cash acquired. We acquired two businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $321 million, net of cash acquired, during the first six months of fiscal 2025. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities and Capitalization

Total debt at March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025 was $5,655 million and $5,694 million, respectively. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (“TEGSA”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due in February 2031 and $550 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due in February 2036. The February 2031 senior notes represent a further issuance of TEGSA’s outstanding $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes which were issued in fiscal 2025 and bring the total aggregate principal amount of the 4.50% senior notes due in February 2031 to $650 million. The new notes 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 second quarter of fiscal 2026, TEGSA repaid, at maturity, $500 million of 4.50% senior notes and $350 million of 3.70% senior notes, both due in February 2026.

At March 27, 2026, TEGSA had $100 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.0%. TEGSA had no commercial paper outstanding at September 26, 2025.

TEGSA entered into a new five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) in February 2026 with aggregate commitments of $3.0 billion, which refinanced and replaced in full TEGSA’s existing $1.5 billion five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility (the “Replaced Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures in February 2031 and contains provisions that allow for incremental commitments of up to $1.0 billion, subject to terms and conditions in the Credit Facility. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 27, 2026 or the Replaced Credit Facility at September 26, 2025.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TEGSA, (1) with respect to borrowings in U.S. dollars, (a) the term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (b) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) Bank of America, N.A.’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (iii) the Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1%, and (iv) 1%, (2) with respect to borrowings in euro, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (3) with respect to borrowings in sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, and (4) with respect to borrowings in yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of TEGSA. TEGSA is required to pay an annual facility fee. Based on the applicable credit ratings of TEGSA, this fee ranges from 5.0 to 12.5 basis points of the lenders’ commitments under the Credit Facility.

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 (or temporarily 4.25 following a qualified acquisition) 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 March 27, 2026, 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 share dividends to shareholders were $417 million and $382 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

In March 2026, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.78 per ordinary share, payable on June 12, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 22, 2026.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an increase of $3.0 billion in our share repurchase program. Ordinary shares repurchased under the share repurchase program were as follows:

At March 27, 2026, we had $3.6 billion of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Summarized Guarantor Financial Information

As discussed above, our senior notes, commercial paper, and Credit Facility are issued by TEGSA and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by TEGSA’s parent, TE Connectivity Switzerland Ltd., and its parent, TE Connectivity plc. In addition to being the issuer of our debt securities, TEGSA owns, directly or indirectly, all of our operating subsidiaries. The following tables present summarized financial information, excluding investments in and equity in earnings of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, for TE Connectivity plc, TE Connectivity Switzerland Ltd., and TEGSA on a combined basis.

(1) Includes $4,531 million and $2,444 million as of March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively, of intercompany loans receivable from non-guarantor subsidiaries.

(2) Includes $4,401 million and $5,001 million as of March 27, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively, of intercompany loans payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries.

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 2026 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 March 27, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $251 million to support normal business activities.

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, 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. 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.

Trade Compliance Matters

As part of our ongoing internal compliance activities, we have been investigating compliance with relevant country of origin for import matters and recently made a voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency regarding potential Section 301 unpaid duties, fees, and interest for certain imported products into the U.S. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of investigation into this matter. An unfavorable outcome may include unpaid duties, fees, interest, and penalties imposed in response to our disclosures. Based on currently available information, we have reserved an aggregate of $27 million related to this exposure. The investigation into this matter has yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigation and related duties, fees, interest, and potential penalties may differ from amounts currently reserved.

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 26, 2025. There were no significant changes to this information during the first six months of fiscal 2026.

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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk during the first six months of fiscal 2026. For further discussion of our exposures to market risk, refer to “Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025.

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 March 27, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 27, 2026.

Richards Manufacturing Acquisition

We acquired Richards Manufacturing on April 1, 2025. 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. Accordingly, we excluded Richards Manufacturing from our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025. The Richards Manufacturing operations will be included in our annual assessment for the year ending September 25, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 27, 2026, 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

See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our legal proceedings since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025. For a description of our previously reported legal proceedings, refer to “Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025.

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.

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 26, 2025. The risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in addition to other information 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.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table presents information about our purchases of our ordinary shares during the quarter ended March 27, 2026:

(1) During the quarter ended March 27, 2026, all purchases were open market purchases of ordinary shares, summarized on a trade-date basis, made in conjunction with the share repurchase program originally announced in September 2007. This table does not include ordinary shares that we withheld in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements for the vesting and release of restricted stock units.
