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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for our fiscal 2025 Annual Report and subsequent interim periods; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through improvements to disclosures related primarily to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for us in fiscal 2026; however, early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)—Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, to enhance transparency and introduce new disclosures related to an entity’s use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The ASU requires us, as a buyer in a supplier finance program, to disclose the key terms of the program, the amount of obligations outstanding, the balance sheet presentation of such amounts, and a rollforward of the obligation activity during the annual period. We adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our supply chain finance program.
