TE Connectivity Posts Strong Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Earnings
Sales Up 4 Percent and Up 6 Percent Organically;
Adjusted EPS Up 6 Percent; GAAP EPS Down 6 Percent;
Company Maintains Full Year Adjusted EPS Guidance of $3.60 to $3.74;
Strong Business Performance More Than Offsets Foreign Exchange Headwinds SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — April 22, 2015 — TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 27, 2015. On January 28, 2015, TE announced the sale of its Broadband Network Solutions (BNS) business. The financial results of the BNS business have been classified as discontinued operations. TE’s ongoing business, results and guidance are included below and classified as continuing operations. Second Quarter Highlights
• Net sales increased to $3.1 billion, up 4 percent versus the prior year and up 6 percent organically • Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) from continuing operations were $0.91, up 6 percent versus the prior year • Diluted Earnings Per Share from continuing operations (GAAP EPS) were $0.77 • Free cash flow of $217 million; returned $261 million to shareholders • Acquisition of AdvancedCath completed, expanding TE’s position in the medical device market • On track to complete the sale of the Broadband Network Solutions (BNS) business by December 2015
Tom Lynch, TE Connectivity Chairman and CEO stated, “I am very pleased with our performance for the quarter. We delivered revenue growth of 4 percent, adjusted EPS growth of 6 percent and adjusted operating margins of 16.4 percent, overcoming significant foreign exchange headwinds. Our growth in the quarter was led by strong performance in automotive, commercial aerospace, industrial equipment, appliances and SubCom. Our TEOA (TE Operating Advantage) business system continued to drive higher profitability, with adjusted operating margins up 50 basis points year over year.

“We also made good progress on our strategy to expand our leadership position in connectivity and sensor solutions,” said Lynch. “Our plan to divest BNS is on track and the integration of our recent acquisitions — Measurement Specialties, American Sensor Technologies, and AdvancedCath — is going well. These transactions support our strategy to focus on the growing $165 billion connectivity and sensor markets, and strengthen our portfolio in harsh environment applications. “The increasing demand for connectivity continues to drive the need for more electronics and TE products,” said Lynch. “For the full year, we expect to deliver 6 percent organic growth and double-digit adjusted EPS growth, consistent with prior guidance. New product introductions and continued strong performance in our harsh environment and SubCom businesses more than offset $1 billion of revenue foreign exchange headwinds.” NEW SEGMENT STRUCTURE Following the announced divestiture of BNS, effective for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we are reporting our results under three segments. The following represents the new segment structure. The Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments remain unchanged:
• Transportation Solutions—the Automotive, Commercial Transportation, and Sensors businesses are included in this segment. • Industrial Solutions—this segment contains the Industrial Equipment; Aerospace, Defense, Oil, and Gas; and Energy businesses. • Communications Solutions—the Data and Devices, Appliances, and Subsea Communications businesses are included in this segment.
FISCAL SECOND QUARTER RESULTS The company reported net sales of $3.1 billion, compared to prior year sales of $3.0 billion. Adjusted EPS were $0.91, compared to $0.86 in the prior year. GAAP EPS were $0.77, compared to $0.82 in the prior year. Free cash flow was $217 million for the quarter. GAAP EPS included $60 million of acquisition related, restructuring and other charges. Total company orders were $3.0 billion, flat year over year, and up 1 percent excluding SubCom. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.03, excluding SubCom.
2
OUTLOOK For the fiscal third quarter 2015, the company expects net sales of $3.13 billion to $3.23 billion, reflecting 3 percent year over year growth at the mid-point, and adjusted EPS of $0.85 to $0.89. GAAP EPS are expected to be $0.80 to $0.84, including acquisition related charges of $0.04, and restructuring and other charges of $0.01. This outlook includes foreign exchange headwinds, reducing expected sales by $330 million and adjusted EPS by $0.13. For the full year, the company expects net sales of $12.35 to $12.65 billion, reflecting 4 percent growth versus prior year at the mid-point; and adjusted EPS of $3.60 to $3.74 reflecting double-digit growth versus the prior year. GAAP EPS are expected to be $3.51 to $3.65, including acquisition related charges of $0.22, restructuring and other charges of $0.18, and income from tax related items of $0.31. The outlook includes foreign exchange headwinds, reducing expected sales by $1.01 billion and adjusted EPS by $0.38.

NON-GAAP MEASURES “Organic Sales Growth,” “Adjusted Operating Income,” “Adjusted Operating Margin,” “Adjusted Other Income, Net,” “Adjusted Income Tax Expense,” “Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” and “Free Cash Flow” (FCF) are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered replacements for GAAP results.

“Organic Sales Growth” is a useful measure of our underlying results and trends in the business. It is also a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. The difference between reported net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP measure) and Organic Sales Growth (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact from foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures, if any. Organic Sales Growth is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that: i) are not completely under management’s control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; or ii) do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on our sales. This limitation is best addressed by using Organic Sales Growth in combination with net sales growth. We present operating income before special items including charges or income related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, impairment charges, and other income or charges, if any (“Adjusted Operating Income”). We utilize Adjusted Operating Income to assess segment level core operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and underlying market conditions. It also is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. Adjusted Operating Income is a useful measure for investors because it provides insight into our underlying operating results, trends, and the comparability of these results between periods. The difference between Adjusted Operating Income and operating income (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of the impact of special items that may mask the underlying operating results and/or business trends. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported operating income. This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Operating Income in combination with operating income in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease on reported results. We present operating margin before special items including charges or income related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, impairment charges, and other income or charges, if any (“Adjusted Operating Margin”). We present Adjusted Operating Margin before special items to give investors a perspective on the underlying business results. This measure should be considered in conjunction with operating margin calculated using our GAAP results in order to understand the amounts, character and impact of adjustments to operating margin. We present other income, net before special items including tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, if any (“Adjusted Other Income, Net”). We present Adjusted Other Income, Net as we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. The difference between Adjusted Other Income, Net and other income, net (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, if any. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease other income, net. This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Other Income, Net in combination with other income, net in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. We present income tax expense after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including charges related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, impairment charges, other income or charges, and certain significant special tax items, if any (“Adjusted Income Tax Expense”). We present Adjusted Income Tax Expense to provide investors further information regarding the tax effects of adjustments used in determining the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations (as defined below). The difference between Adjusted Income Tax Expense and income tax expense (the most comparable GAAP measure) is the tax effect of adjusting items and certain significant special tax items, if any. The limitation of this measure is that
4
it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease income tax expense. This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Income Tax Expense in combination with income tax expense in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. We present income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. before special items including charges or income related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, impairment charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, certain significant special tax items, other income or charges, if any, and, if applicable, related tax effects (“Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations”). We present Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations as we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations provides additional information regarding our underlying operating results, trends and the comparability of these results between periods. The difference between Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of the impact of special items and, if applicable, related tax effects. The 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 Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations in combination with income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. We present diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. before special items, including charges or income related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, impairment charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, certain significant special tax items, other income or charges, if any, and, if applicable, related tax effects (“Adjusted Earnings Per Share”). We present Adjusted Earnings Per Share because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of special items, which may recur, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby making comparisons between periods more difficult. It also is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. The 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 Adjusted Earnings Per Share in combination with diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease on reported results. “Free Cash Flow” (FCF) is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by continuing operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) and Free Cash Flow (the non-GAAP measure) consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. We believe free cash flow provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by continuing operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures consist of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. These items are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather
5
than operating activity. Certain special items, including net payments related to pre-separation tax matters, also are considered by management in evaluating free cash flow. We believe investors should also consider these items in evaluating our free cash flow. Free Cash Flow as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The primary limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on our GAAP cash flow. Also, it subtracts certain cash items that are ultimately within management’s and the Board of Directors’ discretion to direct and may imply that there is less or more cash available for our programs than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. This limitation is best addressed by using Free Cash Flow in combination with the GAAP cash flow results. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for future discretionary expenditures, as our definition of free cash flow does not consider certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions that are not considered in the calculation of free cash flow. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this release include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results and our planned sale of the Broadband Network Solutions business. Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products, particularly in the automotive industry and the telecommunications networks and consumer devices industries; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation; the risk that the operations of Measurement Specialties will not be successfully integrated into ours; the risk that revenue opportunities, cost savings and other anticipated synergies from the Measurement Specialties acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and the risk that the sale of the Broadband Network Solutions business may not be consummated, or if consummated, we do not realize the anticipated benefits from such transaction. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in TE Connectivity Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept. 26, 2014 as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures “Organic Sa les G rowth,” “Adjusted Gross Margin,” “Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage ,” “Adjusted Operat ing Income,” “Adjusted Operating Margin,” “Adjusted Other Income, Net,” “Adjusted Income Tax Expense,” “Adj usted Effective Tax Ra te,” ”Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” and “Free Cash Flow” (FCF) a re non-GAAP measures and should not be considered replacements for GAAP* results. “Organic Sales Growth” is a use ful measure of our underlying results and trends in the business. I t is a lso a signif icant component in our incenti ve compensa tion plans. The diffe rence be tween reported net sa les grow th ( the most comparable GAAP measure) and Organic Sales Grow th ( the non-GAAP measure ) consists of t he impact from foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures, if any. Organic Sales G rowth is a useful measure of our pe rformance because it excludes items tha t: i) are not complete ly under management’s control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; or ii) do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. The limita tion of this measure is that it excludes i tems tha t have an impac t on our sales. This limitation is best addressed by using Organic Sales G rowth in combina tion with net sa les grow th. We present gross margin and gross margin percentage be fore spec ial items including charges or income related to restructuring and othe r charges and acquisition rela ted charges, if any ("Adjusted Gross Margin“ and “Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage”). We present Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage before spec ial items to give investors a perspective on the underlying business results. These measures should be considered in conjunction with gross margin ca lculated using our GAAP results in orde r to understand t he amounts, character and impact of adjustments to gross margin. We present operating income before spec ial items including charges or income related to restructuring and othe r charges, acquisition rela ted charges, impairment charges, and other i ncome or charges, if any (“Adjusted Operat ing Income”). We utilize Adjusted Operat ing Income t o assess segment leve l core operating performance and to provide insight to management in evalua ting segment operating plan execution and underlying market conditions. It also is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. Adjusted Operating Income is a useful measure for investors because it provides insight into our underlying opera ting results, trends, and the comparabili ty of these results between pe riods. The di ffe rence between Adjusted Operating Income and operating income (the most comparable GAAP measure) consist s of the impact of special items tha t may mask the underlying opera ting results and/or business trends. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items tha t would otherwise either inc rease or dec rease our reported operating income. This limita tion is best addressed by using Adjusted Operating Income in combination with opera ting income in orde r to bette r understand the amounts, character and impact of any inc rease or dec rease on reported results. We present operating margin be fore special items inc luding charges or income re lated to restruc tur ing and other charges, acquisition rela ted charges, impairment charges, and other i ncome or charges, if any (“Adjusted Operat ing Margin” ). We present Adjusted Operat ing Margin before spec ial items to give investors a perspective on the underlying business results. This measure should be considered in conjunction with operating margin calculated using our GAAP results in order to understand the amounts, charac ter and impac t of adjustments to operating margin. We present othe r income, ne t before spec ial items including tax sharing income rela ted to certain proposed adjustments to pr ior pe riod tax returns and othe r tax items, if any (“Adjusted Other Income, Ne t”). We present Adjusted Other Income, Ne t as we be lieve tha t it is appropria te for investors to conside r results excluding these items in addition to results in accordance w ith GAAP. The di ffe rence between Adjusted Other Income, Net and other income, net (the most comparable GAAP measure ) consists of t ax shari ng income rela ted to certain proposed adjustments to pr ior pe riod tax returns and othe r tax items, if any. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items tha t would otherwise either inc rease or dec rease other income, ne t. This limita tion is best addressed by using Adjusted Other Income, Net in combina tion with other i ncome, ne t in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any inc rease or decrease in reported amounts. We present income tax expense after adjusting for the tax effect of special items inc luding charges related to restructuring and othe r charges, acquisition rela ted charges, impairment charges, other i ncome or charges, and ce rtain significant spec ial tax items, if any (“Adjusted Income Tax Expense”). We present Adjusted Income Tax Expense to provide investors further information regarding the tax e ffects of adjustments used in dete rmining the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted Income from Cont inuing Operat ions (as defined be low). The diffe rence be tween Adjusted Income Tax Expense and income tax expense (the most comparable GAAP measure) is the tax e ffect of adjusting items and certain significant special tax items, if any. The limita tion of this measure is that it excludes t he financial impact of items tha t would otherwise either increase or decrease income tax expense. This limita tion is best addressed by using Adjusted Income Tax Expense in combination with income tax expense in order to better understand the amounts, charac ter and impac t of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. * U.S. Genera lly Accepted Accounting Principles 20
We present effective income tax rate after adjusting for the tax effect of special items inc luding charges related to restructuring and othe r charges, acquisition rela ted charges, impairment charges, other i ncome or charges, and ce rtain significant spec ial tax items, if any (“Adjusted Effective Tax Ra te”). We present Adjusted Effec tive Tax Ra te to provide investors further information regarding the tax rate effects of adjustments used in dete rmining the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted Income from Cont inuing Operat ions (as defined be low). The diffe rence be tween Adjusted Effective Tax Ra te and effective income tax rate (the most comparable GAAP measure ) is the tax rate effec t of t he adjusting items and certain significant special tax items, if any. The limita tion of this measure is that it excludes t he financial impact of items tha t would otherwise either increase or decrease the e ffective income tax rate . This limita tion is best addressed by using Adjusted Effec tive Tax Ra te in combina tion with effective income tax rate in order to better understand the amounts, charac ter and impac t of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. We present income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. before spec ial items including charges or income related to restructuring and othe r charges, acquisition rela ted charges, impairment charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior pe riod tax re turns and other t ax items, certain significant specia l tax items, othe r income or charges, if any, and, if applicable , related tax effects (“Adjusted Income from Cont inuing Operat ions”). We present Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations as we believe that it is appropria te for investors to conside r results excluding these items in addition to results in accordance w ith GAAP. Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations provides additional information regarding our underlying opera ting results, trends and the comparabili ty of these results between pe riods. The di ffe rence between Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. ( the most comparable GAAP measure) consist s of the impact of special items and, if applicable, re lated tax e ffects. The limita tion of t his measure is tha t it excludes the financial impact of items tha t would otherwise either inc rease or dec rease our reported results. This limita tion is best addressed by using Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations in combina tion with income from continuing operations attr ibutable to TE Connectivity Ltd. in orde r to bette r understand the amounts, character and impact of any inc rease or dec rease in reported amounts. We present diluted earnings pe r sha re from continuing operations attr ibutable to TE Connectivity Ltd. be fore special items, inc luding charges or income re lated to restruc tur ing and other charges, acquisition rela ted charges, impairment charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior pe riod tax re turns and other t ax items, certain significant specia l tax items, othe r income or charges, if any, and, if applicable , related tax effects (“Adjusted Earnings P er Share”). We present Adjusted Earnings P er Share because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results exc luding these items in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such a measure provides a pic ture of our results tha t is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impac t of spec ial items, which may recur, but tend to be irregular as to timing, the reby making compari sons between pe riods more di fficult. It also is a signif icant component in our incenti ve compensa tion plans. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items tha t would otherwise either inc rease or dec rease our reported results. This limita tion is best addressed by using Adjusted Earnings Per Share in combination with diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attr ibutable to TE Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to be tter understand the amounts, character and impact of any inc rease or decrease on reported results. “Free Cash Flow” (FCF) is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The dif ference between net cash provided by continuing operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) and Free Cash Flow (the non-GAAP measure) consist s mainly of significant cash outflows and inf lows that we believe are use ful to identify. We believe free cash f low provides use ful information to investors as it provides insight into the pri mary cash f low metr ic used by management to monitor and evaluate cash f lows generated from our operations. Free Cash Flow is defi ned as net cash provided by continuing operating activities excluding volunta ry pension contr ibutions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Ne t capital expenditures consist of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. These it ems are subtrac ted because they represent long-te rm commitments. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP measure because thi s activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating ac tivity. Certain special items, inc luding net payments rela ted to pre-separati on tax matte rs, also are considered by management in evalua ting free cash flow. We bel ieve investors should also consider these it ems in evalua ting our free cash f low . Free Cash Flow as presented he rein may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The pr imary limita tion of this measure is that it excludes items tha t have an impact on our GAAP cash f low. A lso, it subtrac ts certa in cash items that are ult imate ly within management ’s and the Board of Directors’ discretion to direc t and may imply that the re is less or more cash available for our programs than t he most comparable GAAP measure indica tes. This limita tion is best addressed by using Free Cash Flow in combina tion with the GAAP cash f low results. It should not be infe rred tha t the entire free cash flow amount is available for future discre tionary expenditures, as our de finition of free cash flow does not conside r certain non-disc retionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretiona ry expenditures, such as discretiona ry dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions, tha t a re not considered in the calculation of f ree cash f low.
