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 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 one ordinary share of TE Connectivity plc for each common share of TE Connectivity Ltd. held immediately prior to the merger and change in place of incorporation. Effective for fiscal 2025, we are organized under the laws of Ireland. We 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 fiscal 2025 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.

Fiscal 2025 Actions

During fiscal 2025, we initiated a restructuring program associated with footprint consolidation and cost structure improvements in both of our segments. During the quarter ended December 27, 2024, we recorded restructuring charges of $30 million in connection with this program. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during the quarter ended December 27, 2024 by the end of fiscal 2032 and to incur additional charges of approximately $10 million related primarily to facility exit costs in the Industrial Solutions segment.

Fiscal 2024 Actions

During fiscal 2024, we initiated a restructuring program to optimize our manufacturing footprint and improve the cost structure of the organization. In connection with this program, during the quarters ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, we recorded net restructuring charges of $4 million and $5 million, respectively. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2024 by the end of fiscal 2025 and anticipate that additional charges related to actions commenced during fiscal 2024 will be insignificant.

Pre-Fiscal 2024 Actions

During the quarters ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, we recorded net restructuring charges of $9 million and $4 million, respectively, related to pre-fiscal 2024 actions. We expect to incur additional charges of approximately $10 million in connection with the restructuring actions commenced prior to fiscal 2024.

3. Acquisitions

During the quarter ended December 27, 2024, we acquired two businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $325 million, net of cash acquired.

Our valuation of identifiable intangible assets, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed is

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.

Trade Compliance Matters

We have been investigating our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and have made voluntary disclosures of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”). We are cooperating with the DDTC in its ongoing investigation. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of the agency’s investigation. An unfavorable outcome may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our disclosures, but we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the extent of any such fines or penalties. Although we have reserved for potential fines and penalties relating to these matters based on our current understanding of the facts, the investigation into these matters has yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigation and related fines and 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

Table of Contents

TE CONNECTIVITY PLC

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

required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of December 27, 2024, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $18 million to $43 million, and we accrued $21 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 December 27, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $185 million, including letters of credit of $22 million associated with our divestiture of the Subsea Communications business. In addition, as of December 27, 2024, we had $23 million of performance guarantees associated with the divestiture. We contractually agreed to continue to honor letters of credit and performance guarantees related to the business’ projects that existed as of the date of sale; however, based on historical experience, we do not anticipate having to perform on these guarantees.

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 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 $126 million and $105 million at December 27, 2024 and September 27, 2024, 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 $2,324 million and $2,417 million at December 27, 2024 and September 27, 2024, 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 $6,138 million and $5,367 million at December 27, 2024 and September 27, 2024, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 2.0% per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal

2029, 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.

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 $481 million and $488 million at December 27, 2024 and September 27, 2024, respectively, and were designated as cash flow hedges. These commodity swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

During the quarter ended December 27, 2024, we contributed $12 million and $5 million to our non-U.S. and U.S. pension plans, respectively.

12. Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $178 million and an income tax benefit of $1,105 million for the quarters ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The income tax expense for the quarter ended December 27, 2024 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. The income tax benefit for the quarter ended December 29, 2023 included an $874 million net income tax benefit associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary and a $262 million income tax benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of a corporate tax rate increase in Switzerland. In addition, the income tax benefit for the quarter ended December 29, 2023 included a $118 million income tax benefit associated with the tax impacts of a legal entity restructuring with related costs of $4 million recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses for other non-income taxes.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and participating countries continue to work toward the enactment of a 15% global minimum corporate tax. More than 30 countries have thus far enacted global minimum tax legislation. Ireland has implemented elements of the OECD’s global minimum tax rules effective for us beginning in fiscal 2025. The global minimum tax is a significant structural change to the international taxation framework. We anticipate further legislative activity and administrative guidance throughout fiscal 2025. The legislation did not have a material impact on our cash taxes and income tax expense in the quarter ended December 27, 2024. We continue to monitor evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

See Note 17 for information regarding the impact of guidance issued by the OECD in January 2025 on the ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary in fiscal 2024.

Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that, as of December 27, 2024, approximately $20 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months.

We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 27, 2024.

14. Shareholders’ Equity

Ordinary Shares

Effective for fiscal 2025, we are organized under the laws of Ireland. The rights of holders of our shares are governed by Irish law and our Irish articles of association. The par value of our ordinary shares is stated in U.S. dollars.

As discussed in Note 1, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement between TE Connectivity Ltd. and TE Connectivity plc, shareholders received one ordinary share in the share capital of TE Connectivity plc for each common share of TE Connectivity Ltd. held immediately prior to the merger and change in place of incorporation.

Our articles of association authorize our board of directors to allot and issue shares up to the maximum of our authorized but unissued share capital for a period of five years from September 30, 2024. This authorization will need to be renewed by ordinary resolution upon its expiration and at periodic intervals thereafter. The authorized but unissued share capital may be increased or reduced by way of an ordinary resolution of shareholders. The shares comprising the authorized share capital may be divided into shares of such par value as the resolution shall prescribe.

Ordinary Shares Held in Treasury

All treasury shares were cancelled at the beginning of fiscal 2025 in connection with our change in place of incorporation. See Note 1 for additional information regarding our change in place of incorporation.

Authorized Share Capital

In connection with our merger and change in place of incorporation, we converted 25,000 ordinary shares to ordinary class A shares and issued certain preferred shares to facilitate the merger. The ordinary class A shares and preferred

Table of Contents

TE CONNECTIVITY PLC

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

shares were re-acquired and cancelled following the merger. No preferred shares and no ordinary class A shares were outstanding at December 27, 2024.

Our authorized share capital consisted of 1,500,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.01 per share, two preferred shares with a par value of $1.00 per share, and 25,000 ordinary class A shares with a par value of €1.00 per share as of December 27, 2024. The authorized share capital includes 25,000 ordinary class A shares with a par value of €1.00 per share in order to satisfy statutory requirements for the incorporation of all Irish public limited companies.

Contributed Surplus

As a result of cumulative equity transactions, including dividend activity and treasury share cancellations, our contributed surplus balance was reduced to zero with residual activity recorded against accumulated earnings as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. To the extent that the contributed surplus balance continues to be zero, the impact of future transactions that normally would have been recorded as a reduction of contributed surplus will be recorded in accumulated earnings.

Dividends

We paid cash dividends to shareholders as follows:


	For the
	Quarters Ended
	December 27,		December 29,
	2024		2023
Dividends paid per ordinary/common share	$	0.65	$	0.59

Upon approval of a dividend payment, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to equity. At December 27, 2024 and September 27, 2024, the unpaid portion of the dividends recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $194 million and $390 million, respectively.

We expect future dividends to be made from accumulated earnings as defined under accounting principles generally accepted in Ireland (“Irish GAAP”).

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter ended December 27, 2024, our board of directors authorized an increase of $2.5 billion in our share repurchase program. Ordinary/common shares repurchased under the share repurchase program were as follows:


	For the
	Quarters Ended
	December 27,		December 29,
	2024		2023

	(in millions)
Number of ordinary/common shares repurchased		2		3
Repurchase value	$	310	$	420

At December 27, 2024, we had $2.4 billion of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

As of December 27, 2024, there was $213 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

During the quarter ended December 27, 2024, we granted the following share-based awards as part of our annual incentive plan grant:


		Grant-Date
	Shares	Fair Value
	(in millions)
Share options	0.7	$	46.45
Restricted share awards	0.4		153.25
Performance share awards	0.1		153.25

As of December 27, 2024, we had 18 million shares available for issuance under the TE Connectivity plc 2024 Stock and Incentive Plan, amended and restated as of September 30, 2024.

Share-Based Compensation Assumptions

The assumptions we used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for the options granted as part of our annual incentive plan grant were as follows:


Expected share price volatility		31	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.5	%
Expected annual dividend per share	$	2.60
Expected life of options (in years)		5.3

16. Segment and Geographic Data

Effective for fiscal 2025, we reorganized our management and segments to align the organization around our fiscal 2025 strategy. See Note 1 for additional information regarding our new segment structure. The following segment information reflects the new segment reporting structure. Prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the new segment structure.

17. Subsequent Event

In January 2025, the OECD released new guidance for the 15% global minimum corporate tax. We expect this guidance to impact the realizability of certain net deferred tax assets associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary in fiscal 2024. We are reviewing the new guidance and related interpretations and, while our assessment is not complete, it is probable that we will need to reduce those net deferred tax assets by approximately $600 million during the quarter ending March 28, 2025.

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, renewable energy, automated factories, data centers, medical technology, and more.

Change in Place of Incorporation

During the first quarter 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 fiscal 2025 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 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were consistent with sales levels in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as sales growth in the Industrial Solutions segment was offset by sales declines in the Transportation Solutions segment. Also, on an organic basis, our net sales were flat in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024.

●

Our net sales by segment were as follows:

●

Transportation Solutions—Our net sales decreased 6.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of sales declines in all end markets.

●

Industrial Solutions—Our net sales increased 10.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily as a result of sales growth in the digital data networks and the aerospace, defense, and marine end markets, partially offset by sales declines in the medical end market.

●

Net cash provided by operating activities was $878 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Table of Contents

Outlook

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we expect our net sales to be approximately $3.95 billion, as compared to $3.97 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Sales declines in the Transportation Solutions segment are expected to be largely offset by sales growth in the Industrial Solutions segment. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we expect diluted loss per share from continuing operations to be approximately $0.05 per share, which includes an approximate $1.87 per share impact associated with the tax matter discussed below. This outlook reflects the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately $112 million and $0.01 per share, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. Also, this outlook is based on foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.

In January 2025, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development released new guidance for the 15% global minimum corporate tax. We are reviewing the new guidance and related interpretations and, while our assessment is not complete, it is probable that we will need to reduce certain net deferred tax assets associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary by approximately $600 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. See Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the new guidance.

Acquisitions

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we acquired two businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $325 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.

Total	$	5	0.1	%	$	(3)	—	%	$	(18)	$	26

Net sales were flat in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as the net positive impact of 0.6% from acquisitions and a divestiture was largely offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation of 0.5% due to the weakening of certain foreign currencies. Price erosion adversely affected organic net sales by $12 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

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

Table of Contents

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 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 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 $43 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Annualized cost savings related to the fiscal 2025 actions commenced during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 are expected to be approximately $35 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 $100 million and total cash spend, which will be funded with cash from operations, to be approximately $200 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we incurred costs of $10 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 decreased $150 million, or 6.3%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due primarily to organic net sales declines of 5.2%. Our organic net sales by industry end market were as follows:

●

Automotive—Our organic net sales decreased 3.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of declines of 17.2% in the EMEA region and 8.0% in the Americas region, partially offset by growth of 9.2% 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 was due to increased content per vehicle as well as vehicle production growth.

●

Commercial transportation—Our organic net sales decreased 11.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 due primarily to declines in the EMEA and Americas regions.

●

Sensors—Our organic net sales decreased 12.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of market weakness in both industrial and transportation applications.

Our organic net sales by industry end market were as follows:

●

Automation and connected living—Our organic net sales decreased 4.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 due to continued weakness in factory automation applications, partially offset by strength in the appliances market.

●

Aerospace, defense, and marine—Our organic net sales increased 15.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of growth in all markets.

●

Digital data networks—Our organic net sales increased 48.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily as a result of growth in artificial intelligence and cloud applications.

●

Energy—Our organic net sales increased 6.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of growth across all regions and strength in renewable energy applications.

●

Medical—Our organic net sales decreased 24.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 due primarily to reduced demand resulting from inventory corrections in the supply chain.

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 payment of €550 million of 0.00% euro-denominated senior notes due in February 2025. We may use excess cash to purchase a portion of our ordinary shares pursuant to our authorized share repurchase program, to acquire product lines, to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, or to reduce our outstanding debt. 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 quarter of fiscal 2025, net cash provided by operating activities increased $159 million to $878 million from $719 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase resulted primarily from the impact of changes in working capital levels. The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the first quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was $49 million and $100 million, respectively.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $205 million and $151 million in the first quarters 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 quarter of fiscal 2025, we acquired two businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $325 million, net of cash acquired. We acquired one business for a cash purchase price of $349 million, net of cash acquired,

during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding acquisitions.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we received net cash proceeds of $38 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 December 27, 2024 and September 27, 2024 was $4,205 million and $4,203 million, respectively. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.

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 December 27, 2024 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 December 27, 2024, 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 $189 million and $183 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our board of directors authorized an increase of $2.5 billion in our share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately two million of our ordinary shares for $310 million and approximately three million of our common shares for $420 million under the share repurchase program during the first quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 27, 2024, we had $2.4 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.

Trade Compliance Matters

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 quarter of fiscal 2025.

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.
