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 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 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.
