1. Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") have been prepared in United States Dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In management's opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results.

2. Restructuring and Other Charges, Net (Continued)

Fiscal 2013 Actions

        During fiscal 2013, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions and manufacturing site closures impacting all segments. In connection with this program, during the nine months ended June 28, 2013, we recorded net restructuring charges of $237 million primarily related to employee severance and benefits, and fixed assets in connection with exited manufacturing sites' product lines. We expect to complete all restructuring activities commenced in fiscal 2013 by the end of fiscal 2014 and to incur total charges of approximately $267 million. Cash spending related to this program was $49 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

        The following table summarizes expected, incurred, and remaining charges for the fiscal 2013 program by type:

	Total Expected Charges		Charges Incurred For the Nine Months Ended June 28, 2013		Remaining Expected Charges

Fiscal 2012 Actions

        During fiscal 2012, we initiated a restructuring program resulting in headcount reductions across all segments. Also, we initiated a restructuring program in the Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments associated with the acquisition of Deutsch Group SAS ("Deutsch"). During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, we recorded net restructuring charges of $22 million and $86 million, respectively. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, restructuring charges primarily related to a building impairment in the Network Solutions segment. Restructuring charges primarily related to employee severance and benefits during the nine months ended June 29, 2012. We do not expect to incur any additional expense related to restructuring programs commenced in fiscal 2012. Cash spending related to these programs was $37 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

Pre-Fiscal 2012 Actions

        During fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring program which was primarily associated with the acquisition of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. ("ADC") and related headcount reductions in the Network Solutions segment. Additionally, we increased reductions-in-force across all segments as a result of economic conditions. During fiscal 2010, we initiated a restructuring program primarily related to headcount reductions in the Transportation Solutions segment. We do not expect to incur any additional expense related to restructuring programs commenced in fiscal 2011 and 2010.

        In connection with pre-fiscal 2012 programs, during the nine months ended June 28, 2013, we recorded net restructuring credits of $15 million, primarily related to changes in estimate of employee severance and benefits. Cash spending related to pre-fiscal 2012 programs was $19 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

        The following table presents net sales, pre-tax income, pre-tax gain (loss) on sale, and income tax (expense) benefit from discontinued operations:

	For the Quarters Ended					For the Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2013		June 29, 2012			June 28, 2013			June 29, 2012
	(in millions)

Income tax (expense) benefit		2		(69	)		4			(72	)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	3	$	(61	)	$	—		$	(49	)

        In June 2012, we sold our Touch Solutions business for net cash proceeds of $380 million. We recognized an insignificant pre-tax loss on the transaction in the quarter ended June 29, 2012. In connection with the divestiture, we incurred an income tax charge of $65 million, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 29, 2012, primarily as a result of being unable to fully realize a tax benefit from the write-off of goodwill at the time of the sale.

        In April 2012, we sold our TE Professional Services business for net cash proceeds of $28 million and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain on the transaction. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $28 million, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, to write the carrying value of the business down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

        In December 2011, the New York Court of Claims entered judgment in our favor in the amount of $25 million, payment of which was received in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, in connection with our former Wireless Systems business's State of New York contract. This judgment resolved all outstanding issues between the parties in this matter. This partial recovery of a previously recognized loss, net of legal fees, is reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended June 29, 2012.

        The Touch Solutions, TE Professional Services, and Wireless Systems businesses met the discontinued operations criteria and have been included as such in all periods presented on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to reclassification to discontinued operations, the Touch Solutions and TE Professional Services businesses were included in the former Communications and Industrial Solutions segment and the Network Solutions segment, respectively. The Wireless Systems business was a component of the former Wireless Systems segment.

        Pro forma results for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 were adjusted to exclude $30 million of charges related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventories, $12 million of charges related to acquired customer order backlog, $8 million of acquisition costs, and $2 million of charges related to other acquisition accounting-related adjustments. Pro forma results for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 were also adjusted to include $1 million of interest expense based on pro forma changes in our capital structure.

        Pro forma results for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 were adjusted to exclude $30 million of interest expense based on pro forma changes in our capital structure, $30 million of charges related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventories, $20 million of income tax expense based on the estimated impact of combining Deutsch into our global tax position, $13 million of acquisition costs, $12 million of charges related to acquired customer order backlog, $2 million of share-based compensation expense incurred by Deutsch as a result of the change in control of Deutsch, $2 million of charges related to depreciation expense, and $2 million of charges related to other acquisition accounting-related adjustments. In addition, pro forma results for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 were adjusted to include $11 million of charges related to the amortization of the fair value of acquired intangible assets.

        Pro forma results do not include any synergies. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the Deutsch acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2011.

        As of June 28, 2013, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, had $350 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.30%. TEGSA had $300 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.40% at September 28, 2012.

9. Guarantees

Tax Sharing Agreement

        Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of our shares, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "separation").

        Upon separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, under which we share responsibility for certain of our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. We, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's U.S. income tax returns. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify us for 69% of certain liabilities settled in cash by us with respect to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, we have made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled in cash by the companies relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses

12

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.

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

9. Guarantees (Continued)

related to any such liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. We are responsible for all of our own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition, Tyco International and Covidien are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. Our indemnification created under the Tax Sharing Agreement qualifies as a guarantee of a third party entity's debt under Accounting Standards Codification 460,Guarantees.

        At June 28, 2013, we had a liability representing the indemnifications made to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement of $230 million of which $188 million was reflected in accrued and other current liabilities and $42 million was reflected in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 28, 2012, the liability was $241 million and consisted of $14 million in accrued and other current liabilities and $227 million in other liabilities. The amount reflected in accrued and other current liabilities is our estimated cash obligation under the Tax Sharing Agreement to Tyco International and Covidien in connection with pre-separation tax matters that could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We have assessed the probable future cash payments to Tyco International and Covidien for pre-separation income tax matters pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement and determined that $230 million remains sufficient to satisfy these expected obligations.

Other Matters

        In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At June 28, 2013, we had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $364 million.

        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        We generally record estimated product warranty costs when contract revenues are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for construction related contracts and at the time of sale for products. The estimation is primarily based on historical experience and actual warranty claims. Amounts accrued for warranty claims at June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 were $40 million and $48 million, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

TE Connectivity Legal Proceedings

        In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on

13

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.

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

10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

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. However, the proceedings discussed below under "Income Tax Matters" could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At June 28, 2013, we had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system was completed for and approved by the State of Florida in accordance with guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, we do not believe we have any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested our position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which is in the discovery phase. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as we do not believe that any payment is probable at this time.

Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of our shares or the shares of Covidien to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, upon separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters of Tyco International. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        During fiscal 2007, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued Revenue Agent Reports that reflected the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the 1997 through 2000 period. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. The penalties were asserted against a prior subsidiary of Tyco International that was distributed to us in connection with the separation. Tyco International appealed certain of the proposed adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000, and Tyco International resolved all but one of the matters associated with the proposed tax adjustments, including reaching an agreement with the IRS on the penalty adjustment. In October 2012, the IRS issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue that remains in dispute as described below. As a result of these developments, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we

14

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.

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

10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

recognized an income tax benefit of $331 million and other expense of $231 million pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.

        The disputed issue involves the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originating during the period 1997 through 2000 did not constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and disallowed approximately $2.7 billion of related interest deductions recognized during the period on Tyco International's U.S. income tax returns. In addition, if the IRS is ultimately successful in asserting its claim, it is likely to disallow an additional $6.6 billion of interest deductions reflected on U.S. income tax returns in years subsequent to fiscal 2000. Tyco International contends that the intercompany financing qualified as debt for U.S. tax purposes and that the interest deductions reflected on the income tax returns are appropriate. The IRS and Tyco International were unable to resolve this matter through the IRS appeals process. On June 20, 2013, Tyco International advised us that it had received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS for certain former U.S. subsidiaries of Tyco International increasing taxable income by approximately $2.9 billion in connection with the audit of Tyco International's fiscal years 1997 through 2000. The Notices of Deficiency assert that Tyco International owes additional taxes totaling $778 million, associated penalties of $154 million, and withholding taxes of $105 million. In addition, Tyco International received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which Tyco International estimates an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million will be asserted. The amounts asserted by the IRS exclude any applicable deficiency interest, and do not reflect any impact to subsequent period tax liabilities in the event that the IRS were to prevail on some or all of its assertions. We understand that Tyco International strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS' proposed adjustments. Tyco International has advised us that it believes there are meritorious defenses for the tax filings in question and that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations.

        Resolution of this matter in the U.S. Tax Court could take several years and no payments to the IRS with respect to these matters would be required until the matter is fully and finally resolved. In accordance with the terms of a tax sharing agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien would share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of any payments made in connection with these matters.

        However, as the ultimate outcome is uncertain and if the IRS were to prevail on its assertions, our share of the assessed tax, deficiency interest, and applicable withholding taxes and penalties could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We have reviewed the Notices of Deficiency, the relevant facts surrounding the intercompany debt transactions, relevant tax regulations, and applicable case law, and we continue to believe that we are appropriately reserved for this matter.

        During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, we made payments of $67 million for tax deficiencies related to undisputed tax adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000. Concurrent with remitting these payments, we were reimbursed $39 million from Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to their indemnifications for pre-separation tax matters. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007

15

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.

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

10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

in fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make net cash payments of approximately $187 million in connection with pre-separation tax matters.

        At June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, we have reflected $12 million and $71 million, respectively, of income tax liabilities related to the audits of Tyco International's and our income tax returns in accrued and other current liabilities as certain of these matters could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We continue to believe that the amounts recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to the matters discussed above are appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and could result in a material impact to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

        We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 28, 2013, we concluded that it was probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of $12 million to $24 million. As of June 28, 2013, we concluded that the best estimate within this range is $13 million, of which $3 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $10 million is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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.

11. Financial Instruments

        We use derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, investment, and commodity risks.

Foreign Exchange Risks

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize foreign currency forward and swap 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 transactions and other cash transactions.

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

Interest Rate and Investment Risk Management

        We issue debt, as needed, to fund our operations and capital requirements. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure, we use interest rate swaps to convert a portion of fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. We use forward starting interest rate swaps and options to enter into interest rate swaps ("swaptions") to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. We also utilize investment swaps to manage earnings exposure on certain non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities.

11. Financial Instruments (Continued)

Hedges of Net Investment

        We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $2,177 million and $2,981 million at June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. We reclassified foreign exchange losses of $6 million and gains of $20 million during the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, and gains of $59 million and $80 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, to currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, offsetting foreign exchange gains or losses 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 designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production.

        At June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, our commodity hedges had notional values of $271 million and $246 million, respectively. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the commodities hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months.

Contracts are presented gross without regard to any right of offset that exists. See Note 11 for a reconciliation of amounts to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

        There have been no changes in the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during fiscal 2013.

        The majority of the derivatives that we enter into are valued using over-the-counter quoted market prices for similar instruments. We do not believe that the fair values of these derivative instruments differ materially from the amounts that would be realized upon settlement or maturity.

        As of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, we did not have significant financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; nor did we have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 28, 2012.

12. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

        During the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013, we used significant other observable inputs (level 2) to calculate impairment charges of $35 million related to certain assets held for sale. The impairment charges, which adjusted the net book value of the assets to an estimated fair value of $27 million, are primarily included in restructuring and other charges, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we used significant other observable inputs (level 2) to calculate an impairment charge related to the TE Professional Services business. See Note 3 for additional information.

Other Financial Instruments

        Financial instruments other than derivative instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. These instruments are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at book value. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, we believe book value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our debt based on indicative valuations was approximately $3,186 million and $4,034 million at June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively. There have been no changes in the valuation methodologies used for other financial instruments during fiscal 2013.

        The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for postretirement benefit plans was insignificant for the quarters and nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012.

        During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, we contributed $71 million to our non-U.S. pension plans and insignificant amounts to our U.S. pension plans and postretirement benefit plans.

14. Income Taxes

        We recorded tax provisions of $93 million and $88 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively. The provision for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 reflects charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns. The tax provision for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the finalization of prior year's tax returns, partially offset by the estimated tax impacts of certain intercompany dividends.

        We recorded an income tax benefit of $92 million and a tax provision of $267 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively. The benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflects a $331 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. In addition, the benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflects charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns. The provision for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the finalization of prior year's tax returns, partially offset by income tax expense associated with certain non-U.S. tax rate changes enacted in the quarter ended December 30, 2011.

        We record accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of June 28, 2013, we had recorded $990 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $989 million was recorded in income taxes and $1 million was recorded in accrued and other current

liabilities. As of September 28, 2012, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $1,335 million, of which $1,299 million was recorded in income taxes and $36 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The decrease in the accrued interest and penalties from fiscal year end 2012 is due mainly to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, we recognized $275 million of benefit related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        For tax years 1997 through 2004, Tyco International has resolved all matters, excluding one disputed issue related to the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. During fiscal 2011, the IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007. Also, during fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the status of IRS examinations.

        Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that up to approximately $150 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impacts 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 June 28, 2013.

15. Other Income (Expense), Net

        We recorded net other income of $18 million and $19 million in the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, primarily consisting of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. See Note 9 for further information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        We recorded net other expense of $199 million and net other income of $31 million in the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, primarily pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. The net expense in the nine months ended June 28, 2013 includes $231 million related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. See Note 10 for additional information.

16. Earnings Per Share

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

	For the Quarters Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2013		June 29, 2012		June 28, 2013		June 29, 2012
	(in millions)
Basic		415		428		419		427
Dilutive impact of share-based compensation arrangements		6		3		4		3
Diluted		421		431		423		430

        Certain 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 common shares and inclusion would be antidilutive. Share options not included in the computation totaled 1 million and 14 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, and 4 million and 12 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.

17. Equity

Common Shares

        In March 2013, our shareholders reapproved and extended through March 6, 2015 our board of directors' authorization to issue additional new shares, subject to certain conditions specified in the articles of association, in aggregate not exceeding 50% of the amount of our authorized shares.

Common Shares Held in Treasury

        In March 2013, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 10,564,817 shares repurchased under our share repurchase program during the period from December 31, 2011 to December 28, 2012. The capital reduction by cancellation of shares was subject to a notice period and filing with the commercial register and became effective in May 2013. As a result of the share cancellation, common shares, contributed surplus, and treasury shares on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet decreased by $4 million, $363 million, and $367 million, respectively.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

        We paid a $0.21 cash distribution to shareholders in the form of a capital reduction to the par value of our common shares in each of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013. These capital reductions reduced the par value of our common shares from 0.97 Swiss Francs ("CHF") (equivalent to $0.86) to CHF 0.57 (equivalent to $0.44).

        In March 2013, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of CHF 0.96 (equivalent to $1.00) per share out of contributed surplus, payable in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 through the second quarter of fiscal 2014. We paid the first installment of the dividend at a rate of $0.25 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.

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

17. Equity (Continued)

        Upon approval by the shareholders of a dividend payment or cash distribution in the form of a capital reduction, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus or common shares. At June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, the unpaid portion of the dividends and distributions recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $310 million and $178 million, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

        During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, we repurchased approximately 16 million of our common shares for $619 million under our share repurchase authorization. During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we did not repurchase any of our common shares. At June 28, 2013, we had $688 million of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

18. Share Plans

        Total share-based compensation expense was $19 million and $17 million during the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, and $59 million and $52 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively. These expenses were primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 28, 2013, there was $145 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we granted 2.8 million share options, 1.5 million restricted share awards, and 0.3 million performance share awards as part of our annual incentive plan grant. The weighted-average grant date fair values for share options, restricted share awards, and performance share awards were $8.57, $34.05, and $34.05, respectively.

        Performance share awards, which are generally in the form of performance share units, are granted with pay-out subject to vesting requirements and certain performance conditions that are determined at the time of grant. Based on our performance, the pay-out of performance share units can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units originally granted. Certain employees who receive performance share awards also are granted an opportunity to earn additional performance shares subject to the attainment of additional performance criteria which are set at the time of grant. Attainment of the performance criteria will result in an additional pay-out of performance share units equal to 100% of the performance share units paid out under the original performance share award. The grant date fair value of performance share awards is expensed over the period of performance once achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable. Recipients of performance share units have no voting rights but do receive dividend equivalents. Performance share awards generally vest after a period of three years as determined by the management development and compensation committee of the board of directors. There were no performance share awards outstanding at September 28, 2012.

        As of June 28, 2013, we had 26 million shares available for issuance under our stock and incentive plans, of which the TE Connectivity Ltd. 2007 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, is the primary plan.

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. 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 Dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

        Organic net sales growth and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures which are discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors because they reflect the financial measures that management uses in evaluating the underlying results of our operations. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including our reasons for including the measures and material limitations with respect to the usefulness of the measures.

Overview

        TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") is a world leader in connectivity. We design and manufacture products at the heart of electronic connections for a broad array of industries including automotive, energy and industrial, broadband communications, consumer devices, healthcare, and aerospace and defense. We help our customers solve the need for more energy efficiency, always-on communications, and ever-increasing productivity.

        As discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we reorganized our management and segments to align the organization around our strategy. We now operate through four reportable segments: Transportation Solutions, Network Solutions, Industrial Solutions, and Consumer Solutions. Prior period segment results have been restated to conform to the current segment reporting structure.

        Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by global economic conditions. Our sales are dependent on certain industry end markets that are impacted by consumer as well as industrial and infrastructure spending, and our operating results can be affected by changes in demand in those markets. Overall, our net sales decreased 1.4% and 0.7% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2012. On an organic basis, net sales were flat in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and decreased 2.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2012. On an organic basis, we experienced declines in our sales into industrial- and infrastructure-based markets, primarily as a result of weakness in the industrial end market in our Industrial Solutions segment and the subsea communications and data communications end markets in our Network Solutions segment. Also, on an organic basis, our sales into consumer-based markets increased with growth in the automotive end market in the Transportation Solutions segment, partially offset by declines in the consumer devices and appliance end markets in the Consumer Solutions segment. The acquisition of Deutsch Group SAS ("Deutsch") in April 2012 benefited the automotive and aerospace, defense, and marine end markets in the Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments, respectively. In the first six months of fiscal 2013, Deutsch contributed incremental net sales of $320 million.

38

Outlook

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we expect net sales to be between $3.35 billion and $3.45 billion. This reflects a net sales increase in the Transportation Solutions segment largely offset by net sales decreases in the Network Solutions and Consumer Solutions segments relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. We expect net sales in the Industrial Solutions segment to be consistent with fourth quarter fiscal 2012 levels. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we expect global automotive production to increase approximately 3% to 4% relative to the same period of fiscal 2012. Also, we expect continued weakness in the consumer devices and data communications end markets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. We expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.82 to $0.86 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

        For fiscal 2013, we expect net sales to be between $13.2 billion and $13.3 billion, reflecting a net sales increase in the Transportation Solutions segment offset by net sales decreases in all end markets in the Network Solutions and Consumer Solutions segments relative to fiscal 2012. Net sales in the Industrial Solutions segment are expected to be consistent with fiscal 2012 levels, with increased sales in the aerospace, defense, and marine end market offset by decreased sales in the industrial and energy end markets. We expect our sales in the automotive end market to benefit from an anticipated increase in global automotive production of approximately 2% from fiscal 2012 levels. We expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.92 to $2.96 per share in fiscal 2013.

        The above outlook is based on foreign exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.

        We are monitoring the current economic environment and its potential effects on our customers and on the end markets we serve. Additionally, we continue to closely manage our costs in order to respond to changing conditions. We also are managing our capital resources and monitoring capital availability to ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund our future capital needs. (See further discussion in "Liquidity and Capital Resources.")

Restructuring

        We plan to continue to simplify our global manufacturing footprint by migrating facilities from higher-cost to lower-cost countries, consolidating within countries, and transferring product lines to lower-cost countries. These initiatives are designed to help us maintain our competitiveness in the industry, improve our operating leverage, and position us for profitability growth in the years ahead. In connection with these initiatives and in response to market conditions, we incurred net restructuring charges of approximately $244 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and expect to incur net restructuring charges of approximately $275 million during fiscal 2013. Cash spending related to restructuring was $105 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013, and we expect total spending, which will be funded with cash from operations, to be approximately $180 million in fiscal 2013. Annualized cost savings related to these actions are expected to be approximately $100 million and are expected to be realized by the end of fiscal 2015. Cost savings will be reflected primarily in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations

Consolidated Operations

        Our results of operations were influenced by the following key business factors during the periods discussed in this report:

•

Raw material prices.  We expect to purchase approximately 169 million pounds of copper, 131,000 troy ounces of gold, and 2.6 million troy ounces of silver in fiscal 2013. Prices continue to fluctuate. The following table sets forth the average prices incurred related to copper, gold, and silver during the periods presented:

		For the Quarters Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	Measure	June 28, 2013		June 29, 2012		June 28, 2013		June 29, 2012
Copper	Lb.	$	3.50	$	3.86	$	3.56	$	3.91
Gold	Troy oz.	$	1,588	$	1,615	$	1,644	$	1,588
Silver	Troy oz.	$	28.05	$	34.36	$	30.17	$	34.78

•

Foreign exchange.  Approximately 47% of our net sales are invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our results of operations are influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. Dollar, as 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.

        Net Sales.    Net sales decreased $50 million, or 1.4%, to $3,449 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $3,499 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. On an organic basis, net sales were flat in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012 as increases in the Transportation Solutions segment were offset by declines in the Consumer Solutions, Industrial Solutions, and Network Solutions segments. Price erosion adversely affected sales by $61 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively affected net sales by $28 million, or 0.8%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net sales decreased $70 million, or 0.7%, to $9,848 million from $9,918 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. On an organic basis, net sales decreased $272 million, or 2.7%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012 as a result of declines in the Network Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments and, to a lesser degree, the Consumer Solutions segment, partially offset by an increase in the Transportation Solutions segment. Price erosion adversely affected sales by $139 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively affected net sales by $100 million, or 1.1%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. The acquisition of Deutsch in April 2012 resulted in incremental net sales of $320 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 over the same period of fiscal 2012.

Non-Operating Items

Interest Expense, Net

        Net interest expense was $32 million in the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared to $42 million in the quarter ended June 29, 2012. In the nine months ended June 28, 2013, net interest expense was $95 million as compared to $113 million in the nine months ended June 29, 2012. The decreases were due primarily to lower average debt levels resulting in lower interest expense.

Other Income (Expense), Net

        We recorded net other income of $18 million and $19 million in the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, primarily consisting of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International") and Covidien plc ("Covidien"). See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        We recorded net other expense of $199 million and net other income of $31 million in the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, primarily pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.

Income Taxes

        We recorded tax provisions of $93 million and $88 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively. The provision for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 reflects charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns. The tax provision for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the finalization of prior year's tax returns, partially offset by the estimated tax impacts of certain intercompany dividends.

        We recorded an income tax benefit of $92 million and a tax provision of $267 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively. The benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflects a $331 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. In addition, the benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflects charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns. The provision for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the finalization of prior year's tax returns, partially offset by income tax expense associated with certain non-U.S. tax rate changes enacted in the quarter ended December 30, 2011.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes

        Income from discontinued operations was $3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and loss from discontinued operations was $61 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, loss from discontinued operations was $49 million.

        In June 2012, we sold our Touch Solutions business for net cash proceeds of $380 million. We recognized an insignificant pre-tax loss on the transaction in the quarter ended June 29, 2012. In connection with the divestiture, we incurred an income tax charge of $65 million, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 29, 2012, primarily as a result of being unable to fully realize a tax benefit from the write-off of goodwill at the time of the sale.

        In April 2012, we sold our TE Professional Services business for net cash proceeds of $28 million and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain on the transaction. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $28 million, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, to write the carrying value of the business down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

        In December 2011, the New York Court of Claims entered judgment in our favor in the amount of $25 million, payment of which was received in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, in connection with our former Wireless Systems business's State of New York contract. This judgment resolved all outstanding issues between the parties in this matter. This partial recovery of a previously recognized loss, net of legal fees, is reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended June 29, 2012.

        See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

in the marine market resulting from increased oil and gas exploration were partially offset by a slowdown in defense spending. In the energy end market, our organic net sales decreased 4.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012 as a result of market declines in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions.

        In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, operating income in the Industrial Solutions segment decreased $3 million to $84 million from $87 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Segment results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 included $22 million of net restructuring and other charges and $2 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Deutsch. Segment results for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 included $37 million of charges related to the acquisition of Deutsch, including $26 million of charges associated with the amortization of acquisition accounting-related fair value adjustments primarily related to acquired inventories and customer order backlog, $6 million of acquisition and integration costs, and $5 million of net restructuring and other charges. Excluding these items, operating income decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. The decrease resulted from lower volume, partially offset by improved manufacturing productivity.

Nine Months Ended June 28, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 29, 2012

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net sales in our Industrial Solutions segment increased $5 million, or 0.2%, to $2,215 million from $2,210 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. The weakening of certain foreign currencies negatively affected net sales by $18 million, or 0.8%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. Deutsch contributed incremental net sales of $160 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. Organic net sales decreased $137 million, or 6.2%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

        In the industrial end market, our organic net sales decreased 11.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012 due to declines in the solar market and weakness across all regions. In the aerospace, defense, and marine end market, our organic net sales were flat in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as increased production in the commercial aviation market and growth in the marine market resulting from increased oil and gas exploration were offset by a slowdown in defense spending. In the energy end market, our organic net sales decreased 4.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012 as a result of continued market declines across all regions.

        Operating income in the Industrial Solutions segment decreased $49 million to $232 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 from $281 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. Segment results for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 included $55 million of net restructuring and other charges and $6 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Deutsch. Segment results for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 included $40 million of charges related to the acquisition of Deutsch, including $26 million of charges associated with the amortization of acquisition accounting-related fair value adjustments primarily related to acquired inventories and customer order backlog, $9 million of acquisition and integration costs, and $5 million of net restructuring and other charges. Segment results also included $9 million of additional net restructuring and other charges in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Excluding these items, operating income decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. The decrease was due to lower volume, partially offset by improved manufacturing productivity.

Quarter Ended June 28, 2013 Compared to Quarter Ended June 29, 2012

        In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, net sales in our Consumer Solutions segment decreased $57 million, or 11.7%, to $429 million from $486 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The weakening of certain foreign currencies negatively affected net sales by $7 million, or 1.5%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. Organic net sales decreased $50 million, or 10.2%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

        In the consumer devices end market, our organic net sales decreased 12.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 due primarily to continuing declines in the personal computer market. In the appliance end market, our organic net sales decreased 7.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 due primarily to declines in the EMEA and Americas regions.

        Operating income in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $17 million to $25 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $42 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Segment results included net restructuring and other charges of $18 million and $4 million in the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding these items, operating income was flat in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Improved manufacturing productivity was offset by price erosion.

Nine Months Ended June 28, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 29, 2012

        Net sales in our Consumer Solutions segment decreased $103 million, or 7.4%, to $1,284 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 from $1,387 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The weakening of certain foreign currencies negatively affected net sales by $20 million, or 1.4%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Organic net sales decreased $83 million, or 6.0%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012.

        In the consumer devices end market, our organic net sales decreased 5.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012 due to continuing weakness in the personal computer market, partially offset by increased demand in the mobile phone and tablet markets. In the appliance end market, our organic net sales decreased 6.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012 due primarily to declines in the EMEA and Americas regions.

        Operating income in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $61 million to $41 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $102 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Segment results included net restructuring and other charges of $80 million and $14 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding these items, operating income was flat in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Improved manufacturing productivity was offset by price erosion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The following table summarizes our cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2013			June 29, 2012
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,453		$	1,234
Net cash used in investing activities		(357	)		(1,370	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(1,411	)		234
Effect of currency translation on cash		(12	)		(14	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(327	)	$	84

        Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our ability to access the 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 our $300 million of 5.95% senior notes due in January 2014. We may use excess cash to reduce our outstanding debt, including through the possible repurchase of our debt in

51

accordance with applicable law, to purchase a portion of our common shares pursuant to our authorized share repurchase program, to pay distributions or dividends on our common shares, or to acquire strategic businesses or product lines. The cost or availability of future funding may be impacted by financial market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial markets, to respond as necessary to changing conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased $279 million to $1,453 million from $1,174 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The increase resulted from higher income from continuing operations and improved working capital.

        The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, was $229 million and $240 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Payments during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012 included $67 million and $70 million, respectively, for tax deficiencies related to U.S. tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000. Also during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, we received net reimbursements of $39 million and $44 million, respectively, from Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to their indemnifications for pre-separation U.S. tax matters. We expect to make net cash payments related to pre-separation tax matters of approximately $187 million over the next twelve months. These amounts include payments in which we are the primary obligor to the taxing authorities and for which we expect a portion to be reimbursed by Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement, as well as indemnification payments to Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement for tax matters where they are the primary obligor to the taxing authorities. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to pre-separation tax matters.

        In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we use free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a useful measure of our performance and ability to generate cash. Free cash flow was $1,088 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $865 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The increase was primarily driven by improved working capital. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net cash provided by continuing operating activities, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2013, capital spending increased $27 million to $412 million from $385 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. We expect fiscal 2013 capital spending levels to be approximately 4% to 5% of net sales. We believe our capital funding levels are adequate to support

52

new programs, and we continue to invest in our manufacturing infrastructure to further enhance productivity and manufacturing capabilities.

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we acquired Deutsch. The total value paid for the transaction amounted to €1.55 billion (approximately $2.05 billion using an exchange rate of $1.33 per €1.00), net of cash acquired of $152 million. The total value paid included $659 million of debt assumed, including accrued interest, and paid off in its entirety shortly after the completion of the acquisition.

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we received net cash proceeds of $370 million related to the sale of our Touch Solutions business and $24 million related to the sale of our TE Professional Services business. An additional $14 million of cash proceeds was received during the first nine months of fiscal 2013. See additional information in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities and Capitalization

        Total debt at June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 was $3,018 million and $3,711 million, respectively. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.

        Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, has a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") with total commitments of $1,500 million. This facility expires in June 2016. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012.

        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 (as defined in the Credit Facility) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeds 3.5 to 1.0, an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) is triggered. The Credit Facility and our other debt agreements contain other customary covenants. None of our covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations. As of June 28, 2013, 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 the outstanding senior notes and outstanding commercial paper. TEGSA's payment obligations under its senior notes, commercial paper, and Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, TE Connectivity Ltd. Neither TE Connectivity Ltd. nor any of its subsidiaries provides a guarantee as to payment obligations under the 3.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2015 issued by ADC Telecommunications, Inc. prior to its acquisition in December 2010.

        Payment of common share dividends and cash distributions to shareholders were $281 million and $243 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. We paid a $0.21 cash distribution to shareholders in the form of a capital reduction to the par value of our common shares in each of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013. These capital reductions reduced the par value of our common shares from 0.97 Swiss Francs ("CHF") (equivalent to $0.86) to CHF 0.57 (equivalent to $0.44).

        In March 2013, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of CHF 0.96 (equivalent to $1.00) per share out of contributed surplus, payable in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 through the second quarter of fiscal 2014. We paid the first installment of the dividend at a rate of $0.25 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

        During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, we repurchased approximately 16 million of our common shares for $619 million under our share repurchase authorization. During the first nine

53

months of fiscal 2012, we did not repurchase any of our common shares. At June 28, 2013, we had $688 million of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Backlog

        At June 28, 2013, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of $2,679 million compared to a backlog of $2,633 million at September 28, 2012. Backlog by reportable segment was as follows:

	June 28, 2013		September 28, 2012
	(in millions)
Transportation Solutions	$	964	$	874
Network Solutions		599		744
Industrial Solutions		808		743
Consumer Solutions		308		272
Total	$	2,679	$	2,633

Commitments and Contingencies

Income Tax Matters

        Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International. On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of our shares, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "separation").

        In connection with the separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of our shares or the shares of Covidien to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, upon separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters of Tyco International. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        During fiscal 2007, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued Revenue Agent Reports that reflected the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the 1997 through 2000 period. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. The penalties were asserted against a prior subsidiary of Tyco International that was distributed to us in connection with the separation. Tyco International appealed certain of the proposed adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000, and Tyco International resolved all but one of the matters associated with the proposed tax adjustments, including reaching an agreement with the IRS on the penalty adjustment. In October 2012, the IRS issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue that remains in dispute as described below. As a result of these developments, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized an income tax benefit of $331 million and other expense of $231 million pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.

54

        The disputed issue involves the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originating during the period 1997 through 2000 did not constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and disallowed approximately $2.7 billion of related interest deductions recognized during the period on Tyco International's U.S. income tax returns. In addition, if the IRS is ultimately successful in asserting its claim, it is likely to disallow an additional $6.6 billion of interest deductions reflected on U.S. income tax returns in years subsequent to fiscal 2000. Tyco International contends that the intercompany financing qualified as debt for U.S. tax purposes and that the interest deductions reflected on the income tax returns are appropriate. The IRS and Tyco International were unable to resolve this matter through the IRS appeals process. On June 20, 2013, Tyco International advised us that it had received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS for certain former U.S. subsidiaries of Tyco International increasing taxable income by approximately $2.9 billion in connection with the audit of Tyco International's fiscal years 1997 through 2000. The Notices of Deficiency assert that Tyco International owes additional taxes totaling $778 million, associated penalties of $154 million, and withholding taxes of $105 million. In addition, Tyco International received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which Tyco International estimates an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million will be asserted. The amounts asserted by the IRS exclude any applicable deficiency interest, and do not reflect any impact to subsequent period tax liabilities in the event that the IRS were to prevail on some or all of its assertions. We understand that Tyco International strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS' proposed adjustments. Tyco International has advised us that it believes there are meritorious defenses for the tax filings in question and that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations.

        Resolution of this matter in the U.S. Tax Court could take several years and no payments to the IRS with respect to these matters would be required until the matter is fully and finally resolved. In accordance with the terms of a tax sharing agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien would share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of any payments made in connection with these matters.

        However, as the ultimate outcome is uncertain and if the IRS were to prevail on its assertions, our share of the assessed tax, deficiency interest, and applicable withholding taxes and penalties could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We have reviewed the Notices of Deficiency, the relevant facts surrounding the intercompany debt transactions, relevant tax regulations, and applicable case law, and we continue to believe that we are appropriately reserved for this matter.

        During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, we made payments of $67 million for tax deficiencies related to undisputed tax adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000. Concurrent with remitting these payments, we were reimbursed $39 million from Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to their indemnifications for pre-separation tax matters. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007 in fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make net cash payments of approximately $187 million in connection with pre-separation tax matters.

        At June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012, we have reflected $12 million and $71 million, respectively, of income tax liabilities related to the audits of Tyco International's and our income tax returns in accrued and other current liabilities as certain of these matters could be resolved within the next twelve months.

55

        We continue to believe that the amounts recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to the matters discussed above are appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and could result in a material impact to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Legal Matters

        In the ordinary 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. Management believes that these legal proceedings and claims likely will be resolved over an extended period of time. 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. However, the proceedings discussed above under "Income Tax Matters" could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At June 28, 2013, we had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system was completed for and approved by the State of Florida in accordance with guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, we do not believe we have any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested our position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which is in the discovery phase. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as we do not believe that any payment is probable at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Certain of our segments 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 2013 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance, and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At June 28, 2013, we had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $364 million.

        We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.

56

        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        Upon separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, under which we share responsibility for certain of our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. We, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's U.S. income tax returns. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify us for 69% of certain liabilities settled in cash by us with respect to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, we have made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled in cash by the companies relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. These arrangements have been valued upon our separation from Tyco International in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 460,Guarantees, and, accordingly, liabilities amounting to $230 million were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 28, 2013. See Notes 9 and 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

        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, pension and postretirement benefits, acquisitions, and contingent liabilities are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, there were no significant changes to these policies or to the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in these policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Organic Net Sales Growth

        Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure. The difference between reported net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP measure) and organic net sales growth (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact from foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions, and divestitures. Organic net sales growth is a useful measure of the underlying results and trends in our business. 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.

        We believe organic net sales growth provides useful information to investors because it reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business. Furthermore, it provides investors with a view of our operations from management's perspective. We use organic net sales growth to monitor and evaluate performance, as it is an important measure of the underlying results of our operations. Management uses organic net sales growth together with GAAP measures such as net sales growth and operating income in its decision making processes related to the operations of our reporting segments

57

and our overall company. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating operations. The discussion and analysis of organic net sales growth in Results of Operations above utilizes organic net sales growth as management does internally. Because organic net sales growth calculations may vary among other companies, organic net sales growth amounts presented above may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. The primary limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on our net sales. This limitation is best addressed by evaluating organic net sales growth in combination with our GAAP net sales. The tables presented in Results of Operations above provide reconciliations of organic net sales growth to net sales growth calculated under GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

        Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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. Free cash flow is a useful measure of our performance and ability to generate cash. It also is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. 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 excludes net capital expenditures, voluntary pension contributions, and the cash impact of special items. Net capital expenditures are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments. Voluntary pension contributions are subtracted from the GAAP measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather 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.

        The tables presented in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above provide reconciliations of free cash flow to cash flows from continuing operating activities calculated under GAAP.

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 amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of June 28, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2013.

Deutsch Acquisition

        Securities and Exchange Commission 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. In accordance with this guidance, we excluded the Deutsch operations, acquired on April 3, 2012, from the scope of our annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended September 28, 2012. The Deutsch operations will be included in our annual assessment for the year ending September 27, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        During the quarter ended June 28, 2013, 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.
