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 ("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, 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. 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 26, 2014.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to our fiscal years ending September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014, respectively.

Segment Structure

During fiscal 2015, we reorganized our management structure and segments to better align the organization around our strategy. Our businesses in the former Consumer Solutions segment and our continuing businesses in the former Network Solutions segment have been moved into the newly created Communications Solutions segment. (See Note 3 for information regarding discontinued operations.) In addition, the former Data Communications and Consumer Devices businesses have been combined to form the Data and Devices business. The following represents the current segment structure:


	•	Transportation Solutions—The Automotive, Commercial Transportation, and Sensors businesses are included in this segment.
	•	Industrial Solutions—This segment contains the Industrial Equipment; Aerospace, Defense, Oil, and Gas; and Energy businesses.
	•	Communications Solutions—The Data and Devices, Appliances, and Subsea Communications businesses are included in this segment.
