	Fiscal 2015 Actions
	During fiscal 2015, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions and product line closures, primarily impacting the Consumer Solutions segment. In connection with this program, during the quarter ended December 26, 2014, we recorded restructuring charges of $25 million. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 by the end of fiscal 2016 and to incur total charges of approximately $27 million.
	Fiscal 2014 Actions
	During fiscal 2014, we initiated a restructuring program primarily associated with headcount reductions and manufacturing site and product line closures in the Network Solutions and Consumer Solutions segments. In connection with this program, during the quarter ended December 27, 2013, we recorded restructuring charges of $3 million. We did not incur any charges during the quarter ended December 26, 2014. We do not expect to incur any additional expense related to restructuring actions commenced in fiscal 2014.
	Pre-Fiscal 2014 Actions
	During fiscal 2013, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions and manufacturing site closures impacting all segments. During fiscal 2012, we initiated a restructuring program to reduce headcount across all segments. Also, during fiscal 2012, we initiated a restructuring program in the Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments associated with the acquisition of Deutsch Group SAS. During the quarters ended December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, we recorded net restructuring charges of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, related to pre-fiscal 2014 actions.

Acquisition

Acquisitions
Acquisitions	3. Acquisition
	On October 9, 2014, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Measurement Specialties, Inc. ("Measurement Specialties"), a leading global designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensor-based systems, for $86.00 in cash per share. The total value paid was approximately $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired, and included $225 million for the repayment of Measurement Specialties' debt and accrued interest. Measurement Specialties offers a broad portfolio of technologies including pressure, vibration, force, temperature, humidity, ultrasonics, position, and fluid sensors, for a wide range of applications and industries. This business has been reported as part of our Transportation Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.
	The Measurement Specialties acquisition was accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. We have preliminarily allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We are in the process of completing the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, fixed assets, and pre-acquisition contingencies and, therefore, the fair values set forth below are subject to adjustment upon finalizing the valuations. The amount of these potential adjustments could be significant. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
	The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting:
		(in millions)
	Cash and cash equivalents	$
		37
	Accounts receivable	84
	Inventories	111
	Other current assets	18
	Property, plant, and equipment	82
	Goodwill	1,071
	Intangible assets	561
	Other non-current assets	9
	Total assets acquired	1,973
	Current maturities of long-term debt	20
	Accounts payable	48
	Other current liabilities	66
	Long-term debt	203
	Deferred income taxes	105
	Other non-current liabilities	10
	Total liabilities assumed	452
	Net assets acquired	1,521
	Cash and cash equivalents acquired	-37
	Net cash paid	$
		1,484
	The fair values assigned to intangible assets were preliminarily determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earnings methods. Both valuation methods rely on management judgment, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. The valuation of tangible assets was derived using a combination of the income, market, and cost approaches. Significant judgments used in valuing tangible assets include estimated reproduction or replacement cost, useful lives of assets, estimated selling prices, costs to complete, and reasonable profit. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
	Intangible assets acquired consisted of the following:
		Amount	Weighted-Average
			Amortization
			Period
		(in millions)	(in years)
	Customer relationships	$	18
		390
	Developed technology	154	9
	Trade names and trademarks	5	1
	Customer order backlog	12	<1
	Total	$	15
		561
	The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives.
	Goodwill of $1,071 million was recognized in the transaction, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This goodwill is attributable primarily to cost savings and other synergies related to operational efficiencies including the consolidation of manufacturing, marketing, and general and administrative functions. The goodwill has been allocated to the Transportation Solutions segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. However, prior to its merger with us, Measurement Specialties completed certain acquisitions that resulted in goodwill with an estimated value of $23 million that is deductible primarily for U.S. tax purposes, which we will deduct through 2030.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, Measurement Specialties contributed net sales of $125 million and an operating loss of $28 million to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The operating loss included charges of $26 million associated with the amortization of acquisition-related fair value adjustments related to acquired inventories and customer order backlog, acquisition costs of $13 million, and integration costs of $2 million.
	Pro Forma Financial Information
	The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects our consolidated results of operations had the Measurement Specialties acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2014:
		Pro Forma for
		the Quarters Ended
		December 26,	December 27,
		2014	2013
		(in millions, except per share
		data)
	Net sales	$	$

	Net income attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd.	493	341
	Diluted earnings per share attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd	$	$
		1.19	0.82
	The pro forma financial information is based on our preliminary allocation of the purchase price and therefore subject to adjustment upon finalizing the purchase price allocation. The significant pro forma adjustments, which are described below, are net of income tax expense (benefit) at the statutory rate.
	Pro forma results for the quarter ended December 26, 2014 were adjusted to exclude $16 million of acquisition costs, $15 million of share-based compensation expense incurred by Measurement Specialties as a result of the change in control of Measurement Specialties, $11 million of charges related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventories, $8 million of income tax expense based on the estimated impact of combining Measurement Specialties into our global tax position, and $5 million of charges related to acquired customer order backlog. Pro forma results for the quarter ended December 26, 2014 were also adjusted to include $1 million of interest expense based on pro forma changes in our capital structure.
	Pro forma results for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 were adjusted to include $11 million of charges related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventories, $6 million of charges related to acquired customer order backlog, $3 million of interest expense based on pro forma changes in our capital structure, and $1 million of income tax expense based on the estimated impact of combining Measurement Specialties into our global tax position. In addition, pro forma results for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 were adjusted to exclude $1 million of charges related to the amortization of the fair value of acquired intangible assets.
	Pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of the acquisition. 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 Measurement Specialties acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2014.

	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. Our indemnification created under the Tax Sharing Agreement qualifies as a guarantee of a third party entity's debt under ASC 460, Guarantees. At December 26, 2014 and September 26, 2014, we had a liability of $21 million representing the indemnifications made to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement.
	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 December 26, 2014, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds in the amount of $356 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; other warranty reserves are not significant. The estimation is based primarily on historical experience and actual warranty claims. Amounts accrued for warranty claims were $31 million at December 26, 2014 and September 26, 2014.

	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 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 in "Income Tax Matters" could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
	At December 26, 2014, 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. In November 2014, sellers filed their pre-trial statements with the court claiming no less than $135 million, representing the $80 million contingent purchase price commitment plus interest and costs. 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 or reasonably estimable at this time.
	Income Tax Matters
	The Tax Sharing Agreement generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to taxes for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.
	In October 2012, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue that remains in dispute. The disputed issue involves the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originated during the years 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 U.S. Treasury regulations.
	A U.S. Tax Court trial date of February 29, 2016 has been set and the parties are engaged in discovery. We do not expect any payments to the IRS with respect to these matters until they are fully and finally resolved. In accordance with the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien would share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of any payments made in connection with these matters.
	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 these matters.
	In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the IRS issued general agreement Forms 870, effectively settling its audits of tax matters for the years 2001 through 2007, excluding the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the years 1997 through 2000. As a result of these developments, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we recognized an income tax benefit of $189 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves for the matters that were effectively settled, and other expense of $83 million, representing a reduction of associated indemnification receivables, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we made net payments of $4 million related to pre-separation U.S. tax matters. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make net cash payments of approximately $50 million in connection with pre-separation U.S. tax matters.
	During fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2015.
	At December 26, 2014 and September 26, 2014, we have reflected $55 million and $51 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 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 December 26, 2014, we concluded that it was probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of $17 million to $40 million. As of December 26, 2014, we concluded that the best estimate within this range was $21 million. 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.

	We recorded an income tax benefit of $95 million and an income tax provision of $127 million for the quarters ended December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, respectively. The tax benefit for the quarter ended December 26, 2014 reflects a $189 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of undisputed tax matters for the years 2001 through 2007, and an income tax benefit related to the impacts of certain non-U.S. tax law changes and the associated reduction in the valuation allowance for tax loss carryforwards. The provision for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 reflects an income tax charge related to the impacts of certain non-U.S. tax law changes and the associated increase in the valuation allowance for tax loss carryforwards, and charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns.
	We record accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of December 26, 2014, we had recorded $1,058 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $1,036 million was recorded in income taxes and $22 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities. During the quarter ended December 26, 2014, we recognized a $44 million income tax benefit related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 26, 2014, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $1,136 million, of which $1,115 million was recorded in income taxes and $21 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	For tax years 1997 through 2000, Tyco International has resolved all matters, excluding one disputed issue related to the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2007 have been effectively settled but remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the years 1997 through 2000. During fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2015. See Note 9 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 $80 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months.
	We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 26, 2014.
