Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies	1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies 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 (“U.S.”) dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 are to our fiscal years ending September 27, 2024 and ended September 29, 2023, respectively. Change in Place of Incorporation In March 2024, our board of directors approved a proposed change in our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. In connection with the proposed change, we entered into a merger agreement with our wholly-owned subsidiary, TE Connectivity plc, a public limited company incorporated under Irish law. Under the merger agreement, we will be merged with and into TE Connectivity plc, which will be the surviving entity. The merger was approved by shareholders at a special general meeting in June 2024 and is subject to certain closing conditions. We expect to implement the change on or about September 30, 2024. Our shareholders will receive one ordinary share of TE Connectivity plc for each common share of TE Connectivity Ltd. held immediately prior to the merger. Upon completion of the merger, we will be organized under the laws of Ireland. We do not anticipate any material change in our operations or financial results as a result of the merger and change in place of incorporation.

In connection with this program, during the nine months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we recorded net restructuring charges of $7 million and $200 million, respectively. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2023 by the end of fiscal 2025 and to incur additional charges of approximately $10 million related primarily to employee severance and facility exit costs. The following table summarizes expected, incurred, and remaining charges for the fiscal 2023 program by segment as of June 28, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total ​ Cumulative ​ Remaining ​ ​ ​ Expected ​ Charges ​ Expected ​ ​ Charges Incurred Charges ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Transportation Solutions ​ $ 147 ​ $ 141 ​ $ 6 ​ Industrial Solutions ​ 82 ​ 79 ​ 3 ​ Communications Solutions ​ 35 ​ 34 ​ 1 ​ Total ​ $ 264 ​ $ 254 ​ $ 10 ​ ​ Pre-Fiscal 2023 Actions During the nine months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we recorded net restructuring charges of $26 million and $8 million, respectively, related to pre-fiscal 2023 actions. We expect that any additional charges related to restructuring actions commenced prior to fiscal 2023 will be insignificant. Total Restructuring Reserves Restructuring reserves included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ September 29, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ $ 197 ​ $ 240 ​ Other liabilities ​ 40 ​ 80 ​ Restructuring reserves ​ $ 237 ​ $ 320 ​ ​ Divestitures During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we sold one business for net cash proceeds of $59 million. In connection with the divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $10 million in the nine months ended June 28, 2024. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $60 million when the business was reclassified to held for sale. The business sold was reported in our Transportation Solutions segment. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we sold three businesses for net cash proceeds of $48 million. In connection with the divestitures, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges and a net pre-tax loss on sales, which totaled to a net charge of $12 million. The businesses sold were both reported in our Industrial Solutions segment. Change in Place of Incorporation During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we incurred costs of $11 million related to our change in place of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. See Note 1 for additional information regarding the change.

Acquisitions	3. Acquisitions During the quarter ended December 29, 2023, we acquired approximately 98.7% of the outstanding shares of Schaffner Holding AG (“Schaffner”), a leader in electromagnetic solutions based in Switzerland, for CHF 505.00 per share in cash for a purchase price of CHF 294 million (equivalent to $339 million), net of cash acquired. As a result of the transaction, we recognized a noncontrolling interest with a fair value of $5 million as of the acquisition date. The acquisition was reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition. Our valuation of identifiable intangible assets, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed is currently in process; therefore, the current allocation is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the valuations. The amount of these potential adjustments could be significant. During the quarter ended June 28, 2024, we completed a squeeze-out of the remaining minority shareholders for $5 million and the Schaffner shares were delisted from the SIX Swiss Exchange. We acquired one business for a cash purchase price of $108 million, net of cash acquired, during the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The acquisition was reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Trade Compliance Matters We have been investigating our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and have made voluntary disclosures of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) and the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”). We are cooperating with the BIS and DDTC on these matters, and the resulting investigations are ongoing. We have also been contacted by the U.S. Department of Justice concerning aspects of these matters. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of the agencies’ investigations. An unfavorable outcome may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our disclosures, but we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the extent of any such fines or penalties. Although we have reserved for potential fines and penalties relating to these matters based on our current understanding of the facts, the investigations into these matters have yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigations and related fines and penalties may differ from amounts currently reserved. Environmental Matters We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 28, 2024, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $17 million to $43 million, and we accrued $21 million as the probable loss, which was the best estimate within this range. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Guarantees In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Supply Chain Finance Program We have an agreement with a financial institution that allows participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations. The financial institution has separate arrangements with the suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment for invoices. We do not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the financial institution and suppliers. Our obligation to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement and we are not required to post collateral with the financial institution. The outstanding payment obligations under our supply chain finance program, which are included in accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $106 million and $109 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments	10. Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize cross-currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany and other cash transactions. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months. Hedge of Net Investment We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany loans and external borrowings denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $1,556 million and $1,709 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. We also use a cross-currency swap program to hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations. The aggregate notional value of the contracts under this program was $4,316 million and $3,806 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 1.6% per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal 2028, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in the designated foreign currency and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. We are not required to provide collateral for these contracts. These cross-currency swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ September 29, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 88 ​ $ 109 ​ Other assets ​ 47 ​ 79 ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ 4 ​ Other liabilities ​ ​ 18 ​ ​ 10 ​ ​ The impacts of our hedge of net investment programs were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) on intercompany loans and external borrowings (1) ​ $ 29 ​ $ 8 ​ $ 7 ​ $ (208) ​ Gains (losses) on cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedges of net investment (1) ​ 48 ​ 46 ​ 10 ​ (110) ​ (1) Recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and offset by changes 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. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production. These contracts had an aggregate notional value of $459 million at both June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023 and were designated as cash flow hedges.

The income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 included a $19 million net income tax benefit related to a divestiture. We recorded an income tax benefit of $778 million and expense of $283 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 included an $874 million net income tax benefit associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary and a $262 million income tax benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of a corporate tax rate increase in Switzerland. In addition, the income tax benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 included a $118 million income tax benefit associated with the tax impacts of a legal entity restructuring with related costs of $4 million recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses for other non-income taxes. The income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 included a $19 million net income tax benefit related to a divestiture. Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that, as of June 28, 2024, approximately $30 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 June 28, 2024.
