NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        Basis of Presentation—The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated results of Tyco International Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or "Tyco"). The Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD") and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2010 (the "2010 Form 10-K").

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company realigned its Safety Products segment between its ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection Services segments to create two new segments: Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection. Tyco Security Solutions consists of the former ADT Worldwide segment as well as the portion of the former Safety Products segment that manufactures security products including intrusion, security, access control and video management systems. Tyco Fire Protection consists of the former Fire Protection Services segment as well as a number of businesses from the former Safety Products segment including the fire suppression and life safety products businesses. In addition, various businesses were realigned between Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection. See Note 15.

        As a result of this realignment, as well as the sale of a majority interest in the Electrical and Metal Products business (See Note 2), the Company has three core businesses: Tyco Security Solutions, Tyco Fire Protection and Tyco Flow Control.

        References to 2011 and 2010 are to Tyco's fiscal quarters ending March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.

        Reclassifications—The Company has reclassified certain businesses which have satisfied the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations to (loss) income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and assets and liabilities held for sale within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 2. As a result of the segment realignment prior period segment amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 15.

        Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance for the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The guidance requires arrangements under which multiple revenue generating activities to be performed be allocated at inception. The residual method under the existing accounting guidance has been eliminated. The guidance became effective for Tyco for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in the first

quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amended the existing guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIE"), to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The guidance also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the significant activities of a VIE, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that may be significant to the VIE. The guidance became effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company's population of VIE's is primarily composed of joint ventures that are not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the deconsolidation of a joint venture in the Tyco Fire Protection segment, but it did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2.    Divestitures

        The Company has continued to assess the strategic fit of its various businesses and has pursued divestiture of certain businesses which do not align with its long-term strategy.

        On November 9, 2010, the Company announced that it entered into an investment agreement (the "Agreement") to sell a majority interest in its Electrical and Metal Products business to an affiliate of the private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (the "Investor"). The Company formed a newly incorporated holding company, Atkore International Group Inc. ("Atkore"), to hold the Company's Electrical and Metal Products business. On December 22, 2010, the transaction closed and the Investor acquired shares of a newly-created class of cumulative convertible preferred stock of Atkore (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock initially represented 51% of the outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis) of Atkore. In connection with the closing, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $713 million and recorded a gain of $259 million (including a $49 million gain recognized in connection with determining the fair value of the Company's retained ownership interest discussed below) during the first quarter of 2011. During the second quarter, the Company recorded a working capital adjustment of $9 million that reduced the gain on disposal. The gain on disposal is recorded within restructuring, asset impairments and divestiture charges (gain), net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        In connection with the sale, the Company was required to determine the fair value of its retained ownership interest in Atkore. The fair value of the retained ownership interest was determined by implying a total equity value of Atkore using the price paid by the Investor for the Preferred Stock less the expected present value of dividends to be paid on the Preferred Stock (the "Implied Equity Value"). The discount rate used to determine the present value of the expected dividends was calculated by taking the average of the stated return on the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Agreement and Atkore's estimated cost of equity. The Implied Equity Value was then allocated to the Company's retained ownership interest. To arrive at the fair value of the Company's retained ownership interest the Company applied a discount factor to the Company's allocated Implied Equity Value due to the lack of marketability of the common stock of Atkore, which is now privately held. The fair value of the Company's retained ownership interest was determined to be $137 million, resulting in the Company recognizing a $49 million gain upon deconsolidation during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

retained ownership interest in Atkore is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is recorded in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 25, 2011. The Company's proportionate share of Atkore's net income (loss) is recorded within Other (expense) income, net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and was a $7 million loss for the quarter ended March 25, 2011. The Company did not record any equity income or loss for the first quarter of 2011 as the amount was not material.

        During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company approved a plan to sell its French security business, which was part of the Company's Tyco Security Solutions segment. The results of operations were presented in continuing operations as the criteria for discontinued operations had not been met. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company completed the sale and recorded a $53 million pre-tax gain within restructuring, asset impairments and divestiture charges (gain), net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company incurred $1 and $3 million of charges and utilized $2 million and $5 million of the restructuring reserve balance during the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company continues to maintain restructuring reserves related to certain programs initiated prior to 2006. The total amount of these reserves was $14 million as of both March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010. The aggregate remaining reserves related to the 2007 and pre-2006 programs primarily relate to facility exit costs for long-term non-cancelable lease obligations with expirations dates that range from 2011 to 2022 primarily within the Company's Tyco Security Solutions segment.

4.    Acquisitions (Continued)

        On March 21, 2011, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 75% equity stake in privately-held KEF Holdings Ltd., a vertically integrated valve manufacturer in the Middle East, for approximately $300 million. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of fiscal 2011. Following the close of the transaction, the Company intends to combine KEF Holdings, Ltd. with the Company's Tyco Flow Control segment.

        During the quarter and six months ended March 26, 2010, cash paid for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaled $9 million and $152 million, net of cash acquired of nil and $1 million, which primarily related to the acquisition of two Brazilian valve companies, including Hiter Industria e Comercio de Controle Termo-Hidraulico Ltda ("Hiter"), a valve manufacturer which serves a variety of industries including the oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical markets. Net cash paid for the Brazilian valve companies totaled $104 million by the Company's Tyco Flow Control segment. In addition, the Company acquired certain assets of a business within the Electrical and Metal Products segment for $39 million and the Tyco Fire Protection segment acquired a business for $9 million.

Acquisition Related Costs

        Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. In conjunction with the acquisitions of Signature Security and KEF Holdings Ltd., the Company incurred acquisition costs of $3 million, which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011.

        The Company's Tyco Security Solutions segment incurred $9 million and $14 million of integration costs in connection with its acquisition of Broadview Security for the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011. Such costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

ADT Account Acquisitions

        During the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011, the Company paid $146 million and $279 million of cash, respectively, to acquire approximately 129,000 and 250,000 customer contracts for electronic security services in its Tyco Security Solutions segment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

5.    Income Taxes (Continued)

        Many of Tyco's uncertain tax positions relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities in U.S. federal, state and local or foreign jurisdictions. Open tax years in significant jurisdictions are as follows:

Jurisdiction
  Years Open
To Audit
 

Australia

    2004-2010  

Canada

    2001-2010  

Germany

    1998-2010

Switzerland

    2000-2010  

United Kingdom

    2000-2010  

United States

    1997-2010  

        Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that between $16 million and $139 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved in the next twelve months.

        At each balance sheet date, management evaluates whether it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized and if sufficient future taxable income will be available by assessing current period and projected operating results and other pertinent data. As of March 25, 2011, the Company had recorded deferred tax assets of $1.4 billion, which is comprised of $2.9 billion gross deferred tax assets net of $1.5 billion valuation allowances.

Tax Sharing Agreement and Other Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the spin-offs of Covidien and TE Connectivity, formerly Tyco Electronics, from Tyco (the "Separation"), Tyco entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs Covidien's, TE Connectivity's and Tyco's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the Separation 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 the shares of Covidien or TE Connectivity to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company shares responsibility for certain of Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's income tax liabilities, which result in cash payments, based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. More specifically, Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. In connection with the execution of the Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco established a net receivable from Covidien and TE Connectivity representing the amount the Company expected to receive for pre-Separation uncertain tax positions. Such amounts include any amounts owed to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively, the aggregate amount of the net receivable was $115 million and $114 million, respectively, of which $89 million for both periods was included in other assets and

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

5.    Income Taxes (Continued)


$26 million and $25 million, respectively, was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also established liabilities representing the fair market value of its share of Covidien's and TE Connectivity's estimated obligations, primarily to the IRS, for their pre-Separation taxes covered by the Tax Sharing Agreement. As of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, the Company had recorded $387 million and $398 million, respectively, in other liabilities, and $167 million and $156 million, respectively, in accrued and other current liabilities. During 2011, the Company reclassified $11 million, respectively, from other liabilities to accrued and other current liabilities for a net payment due to Covidien and TE Connectivity related to the resolution of certain IRS audit and pre-Separation tax matters.

        Tyco assesses the shared tax liabilities and related guaranteed liabilities at each reporting period. The receivable and liability were initially recognized with an offset to shareholders' equity in 2007. During the quarters ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, the Company recorded income of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in accordance with the Tax Sharing Agreement. During the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, the Company recorded income of $1 million and $11 million, respectively, in accordance with Tax Sharing Agreement. Tyco will provide payment to Covidien and TE Connectivity under the Tax Sharing Agreement as the shared income tax liabilities are settled. Settlement is expected to occur as the audit process by applicable taxing authorities is completed for the impacted years and cash payments are made. Given the nature of the shared liabilities, the maximum amount of potential future payments is not determinable. Such cash payments, when they occur, will reduce the guarantor liability as such payments represent an equivalent reduction of risk. The Company also assesses the sufficiency of the Tax Sharing Agreement guarantee liability on a quarterly basis and will increase the liability when it is probable that cash payments expected to be made under the Tax Sharing Agreement exceed the recorded balance.

        Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of the Tax Sharing Agreement. Tyco is reviewing and contesting certain of the proposed tax adjustments. With respect to adjustments raised by the IRS, although the Company expects to resolve a substantial number of these adjustments with the IRS, a few significant items are expected to remain open with respect the audit of the 1997 through 2004 years. As of the date hereof, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to resolve these open items, which primarily involve the treatment of certain intercompany transactions during the period, through the IRS appeals process. As a result, the Company may be required to litigate these matters. The Company has assessed its obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement, including with respect to the proposed civil fraud penalties discussed below, to determine that its recorded liability of $554 million is sufficient to cover the indemnifications made by the Company under such agreement. See Note 18. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in a material adverse impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or the effective tax rate in future reporting periods.

        In connection with the aforementioned audits, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against a prior subsidiary that was distributed to TE Connectivity in connection with the Separation. The penalties allegedly arise from actions of former executives taken in connection with intercompany transfers of stock of Simplex Technologies in 1998 and 1999. Based on statutory guidelines, the Company estimates the proposed penalties could range between $30 million and $50 million. This is a

pre-Separation tax liability that is covered by the provisions of the Tax Sharing Agreement. Also in connection with the IRS audits described above, during the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company, as Audit Management Party under the Tax Sharing Agreement, reached a settlement agreement with the IRS on certain deductions taken by Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity on pre-separation tax returns filed for the periods 2001 to 2004. The settlement did not have a material effect to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

        In addition to dealing with pre-Separation tax liabilities of each of the three entities party thereto, the Tax Sharing Agreement contains sharing provisions to address the contingency that the Separation itself, or internal transactions related to the Separation, may be deemed taxable by U.S. or non U.S. taxing authorities. In the event the Separation is determined to be taxable and such determination was the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or TE Connectivity, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on each company as a result thereof. If such determination is not the result of actions taken by any of the three companies after the Separation, then Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity would be responsible for 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of any taxes imposed on any of the companies as a result of such determination. Such tax amounts could be significant. The Company is responsible for all of its own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition, Covidien and TE Connectivity are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula.

        If any party to the Tax Sharing Agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the Tax Sharing Agreement that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, the Company could be liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of its agreed-upon share of Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's tax liabilities. See Note 18.

        Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional material provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, since the earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or the Company has concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of the distribution of such earnings. A liability could arise if amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.

7.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets

        Annually, in the fiscal fourth quarter, and more frequently if triggering events occur, the Company tests goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. Fair value for each reporting unit is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's forecast cash flows discounted using an estimated weighted-average cost of capital of market participants. A market approach is utilized to corroborate the discounted cash flow analysis performed at each reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired. In determining fair value, management relies on and considers a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, including expectations and assumptions regarding the timing and degree of any economic recovery, anticipated future cash flow, comparable market transactions (to the extent available), other market data and the Company's overall market capitalization.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2011 the Company realigned its Safety Products segment between its ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection segments to create two new segments: Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection. Also, various businesses were realigned between Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection. As a result of the realignment of business activities, the balances as of September 25, 2009 have been recast. As part of the realignment the Company tested the related goodwill balances for recoverability and determined goodwill continues to be recoverable.

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment are as follows ($ in millions):

    Commercial paper

        As of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, Tyco International Finance, S.A. ("TIFSA"), the Company's finance subsidiary, had no commercial paper outstanding.

    Credit facilities

        On March 24, 2011, TIFSA, as the Borrower, and the Company as the Guarantor, entered into a Four-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, providing for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $750 million (the "Credit Agreement"). In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, TIFSA and the Company terminated the existing Three-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated June 24, 2008, which provided for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $500 million, and which was scheduled to expire in June 2011. The Credit Agreement also reduced the lenders' commitments under the existing Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007, from an aggregate of $1.19 billion to $750 million, and which is scheduled to expire in April 2012.

        As a result of entering into the Credit Agreement and the termination and reduction described above, the Company's committed revolving credit facilities totaled $1.5 billion as of March 25, 2011. These revolving credit facilities may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. As of March 25, 2011 there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facilities. As of September 24, 2010, no amounts were drawn under the Company's former credit facilities. Interest under the revolving credit facilities is variable and is calculated by reference to LIBOR or an alternate base rate.

    Debt Issuance/Repayment

        On January 12, 2011, TIFSA issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Notes due on January 15, 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Notes due on January 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received total net proceeds of approximately $494 million after deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $1 million for the 2018 Notes and $2 million for the 2023 Notes, as well as debt discount of approximately $1 million for the 2018 Notes and $2 million for the 2023 Notes. The net proceeds of the aforementioned debt issuances were used to fund the repayment upon maturity of all of our outstanding 6.75% Notes due February 2011, along with other available funds. The 2018 Notes and the 2023 Notes are unsecured and rank equally with TIFSA's other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

        Prior to January 15, 2018 in the case of the 2018 Notes and prior to October 15, 2022 in case of the 2023 Notes, TIFSA may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes of such series or a make-whole amount, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. On or after October 15, 2022, TIFSA may redeem the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of both the 2018 Notes and the 2023 Notes have the right to require TIFSA to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, which requires both a change of control and rating event, each as defined in the indenture governing the notes. The debt issuance costs will be amortized from the date of issuance to the

maturity date of each series of the notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15th and July 15th for both the 2018 Notes and 2023 Notes.

9.    Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, debt and derivative financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated book value as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010. The fair value of derivative financial instruments was not material to any of the periods presented. See below for the fair value of investments and Note 8 for debt.

Derivative Instruments

        In the normal course of business, Tyco is exposed to market risk arising from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The Company's objective for utilizing derivative financial instruments is to manage these risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures.

        For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the Company documented the relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items and linked derivatives designated as fair value hedges to specific debt issuances. For transactions designated as hedges, the Company also assessed and documented at the hedge's inception whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions were effective in offsetting changes in fair values associated with the hedged items. The fair value hedges did not result in any hedge ineffectiveness for the quarters and six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

        All derivative financial instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments recognized currently in the Company's Statement of Operations, with the exception of net investment hedges for which changes in fair value are reported in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent the hedges are effective. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The derivative financial instruments and impact of such changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments was not material to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010 or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows for the quarters and six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010.

Foreign Currency Exposures

        The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments comprised principally of forward contracts on foreign currency which are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The objective of the derivative instruments is to minimize the income statement impact and potential variability in cash flows associated with intercompany loans and accounts receivable, accounts payable and forecasted transactions that are denominated in certain

foreign currencies. As of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, the total gross notional amount of the Company's foreign exchange contracts was $754 million and $860 million, respectively.

        Effective March 17, 2009, Tyco changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to Switzerland. Tyco made the final dividend payment in the form of a reduction of capital in February 2011, denominated in Swiss francs (See Note 12). The Company paid dividends in U.S. dollars, based on the exchange rate in effect shortly before the payment date. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Swiss franc between the date the dividend was declared and paid increased or decreased the U.S. dollar amount required to be paid. The Company managed the potential variability in cash flows associated with the dividend payments by entering into derivative financial instruments used as economic hedges of the underlying risk. Beginning in May 2011, the Company will make dividend payments out of contributed surplus in U.S. dollars which will eliminate the need to use currency hedges for dividend payments.

        The Company hedges its net investment in certain foreign operations through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The objective is to minimize the exposure to changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated net investment. The aggregate notional amount of these hedges was $210 million and $255 million as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010 respectively. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts qualifying as net investment hedges are reported in cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent the hedges are effective. The ineffective portion of the hedge was not material to the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. These contracts did not have a material impact to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010.

Interest Rate Exposures

        The Company manages interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swap transactions with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties, which are designated as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Since the third quarter of 2009, the Company has been entering into interest rate swap transactions with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting interest rates of fixed-rate debt to variable rates. During the second quarter of 2011, the company also entered into interest rate swaps contracts to hedge $155 million notional amount of the 4.125% public notes due 2014. In these contracts, the Company agrees with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. In connection with the maturity of the 6.75% public notes during the second quarter of 2011, the Company settled the corresponding interest rate swaps. As of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, the total gross notional amount of the Company's interest rate swap contracts was $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.

Commodity Exposures

        During fiscal 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into commodity swaps for copper which are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9.    Financial Instruments (Continued)

Counterparty Credit Risk

        The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, the Company is exposed to losses if the derivative is in an asset position. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is an asset, the counterparty has to pay the Company to settle the contract. This exposes the Company to credit risk. However, when the fair value of a derivative instrument is a liability, the Company has to pay the counterparty to settle the contract and therefore there is no counterparty credit risk. Tyco has established policies and procedures to limit the potential for counterparty credit risk, including establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. As a matter of practice, the Company deals with major banks worldwide having long-term Standard & Poor's and Moody's credit ratings of A-/A3 or higher. To further reduce the risk of loss, the Company generally enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements with substantially all of its counterparties. Master netting agreements provide protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and, in some cases, enable receivables and payables with the same counterparty to be offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, providing for a more meaningful balance sheet presentation of credit exposure. The Company's derivative contracts do not contain any credit risk related contingent features and do not require collateral or other security to be furnished by the Company or the counterparties.

        The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with its derivative instruments is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by groups of counterparties that share similar attributes. As of March 25, 2011, the Company was exposed to industry concentration with financial institutions as well as risk of loss if an individual counterparty or issuer failed to perform its obligations under contractual terms. The maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur as of March 25, 2011 without giving consideration to the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements was approximately $39 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. In cases where two or more levels of inputs are used to determine fair value, a financial instrument's level is determined based on the lowest level input that is considered significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

    Level 1—inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date.

    Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations for the asset or liability that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data for which the primary inputs are observable, including forward interest rates, yield curves, credit risk and exchange rates.

    Level 3—inputs for the valuations are unobservable and are based on management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values

        Investments primarily include cash equivalents, U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities.

        When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities. Such investments are included in Level 1. When quoted market prices are not readily available, pricing determinations are made based on the results of market approach valuation models using observable market data such as recently reported trades, bid and offer information and benchmark securities. These investments are included in Level 2 and consist primarily of U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

        As described above under the caption "Derivative Instruments," derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair values for these derivative financial instruments are derived from market approach pricing models that take into account the contractual terms and features of each instrument, forward foreign currency rates for the Company's foreign exchange contracts and yield curves for the Company's interest rate swaps existing at the end of the period. Valuations are adjusted to reflect creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and the creditworthiness of the Company for liabilities. Such adjustments are based on observable market evidence and are categorized as Level 2 exposures. Derivative financial instruments are not presented in the following tables as the derivative financial instruments were not material to any of the periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

        The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the valuation.

        During the six months ended March 25, 2011, the Company did not have any significant transfers within the fair value hierarchy.

Other

        The Company had $3.0 billion of intercompany loans designated as permanent in nature as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, for both periods. For the quarters ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, the Company recorded $128 million of cumulative translation gain and $78 million of cumulative translation loss, respectively, through accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these loans. For the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, the Company recorded $133 million of cumulative translation gain and $115 million of cumulative translation loss, respectively, through accumulated comprehensive loss related to these loans.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies

        In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a liability sharing agreement regarding certain legal actions that were pending against Tyco prior to the Separation. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company, Covidien and TE Connectivity are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of any judgments resulting from the actions subject to the agreement, which generally relate to legacy matters that were not specific to the business operations of any of the companies. Substantially all of these legacy matters have been resolved. Additionally, at the time of the Separation, the Company, Covidien and TE Connectivity agreed to allocate responsibility for certain legacy tax claims pursuant to the same formula under the Tax Sharing Agreement. A number of the legacy tax claims remain outstanding. See Note 5.

Legacy Securities Matters

        Since June 2007, the Company has resolved substantially all of the legacy claims related to securities fraud and similar matters, with the exception of the claims related to former management and Mr. Frank Walsh Jr., a former director, described below. During the quarter ended December 24, 2010 certain contingencies related to the previously disclosed settlement of Stumpf v. Tyco International Ltd. class action lawsuit elapsed, and the Company adjusted its remaining reserves for this and other legacy securities matters, recognizing a net gain of $7 million during such quarter.

        Tyco is a party to several lawsuits involving disputes with former management, among which are affirmative cases brought by Tyco against Mr. Dennis L. Kozlowski, Tyco's former chief executive officer, Mr. Mark Swartz, its former chief financial officer, and Mr. Frank Walsh Jr., a former director.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)


In connection with these affirmative actions, Mr. Kozlowski, through counterclaims, and Mr. Swartz, through demand letters, are seeking an aggregate of approximately $134 million allegedly due in connection with their compensation and retention arrangements and under ERISA.

        With respect to Mr. Kozlowski, on December 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of several of the Company's affirmative claims against him before trial, while dismissing all of Kozlowski's counterclaims for pay and benefits after 1995. The Company expects Mr. Kozlowski to appeal this decision after final judgment is entered. As a result, the Company has and will continue to maintain the reserve recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheet for the amounts allegedly due under his compensation and retention arrangements and under ERISA until the appeals process is complete. Although the ultimate resolution of this matter could differ materially from these estimates, the Company does not believe such resolution would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Tyco has also brought an action against Mr. Walsh in connection with the damages suffered by Tyco arising from Walsh's breach of his fiduciary duties to Tyco. In October 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied Tyco's affirmative claims for recovery of damages against Mr. Walsh. Tyco is pursuing an appeal. This affirmative matter, and the affirmative matters against Messrs. Kozlowski and Walsh, are not subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Separately, Mr. Walsh is pursuing a New York state court claim against the Company asserting his entitlement to indemnification. This action is subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Environmental Matters

        Tyco is 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 March 25, 2011, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $25 million to $80 million. As of March 25, 2011, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $34 million, of which $11 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $23 million is included in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters, the Company believes that any potential payments of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Asbestos Matters

        The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos-containing components manufactured by third-parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma-related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result,

29

10.    Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)


have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's strategy has been, and continues to be, to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, the Company cannot predict the extent to which it will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future. As of March 25, 2011, there were approximately 4,400 lawsuits pending against the Company, its subsidiaries or entities for which the Company has assumed responsibility. Each lawsuit typically includes several claims, and the Company has determined that there were approximately 5,300 claims outstanding as of March 25, 2011, which amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against it, its affiliates or entities for which it has assumed responsibility in connection with acquisitions or divestitures. This amount includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants or are duplicative of other actions.

        Annually, the Company performs an analysis with the assistance of outside counsel and other experts to update its estimated asbestos-related assets and liabilities. Due to a high degree of uncertainty regarding the pattern and length of time over which claims will be made and then settled or litigated, the Company uses multiple estimation methodologies based on varying scenarios of potential outcomes to estimate the range of loss. The Company's estimate of the liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is predominantly based on claim experience over the past five years, and a projection which covers claims expected to be filed, including related defense costs, over the next seven years on an undiscounted basis. The Company has concluded that estimating the liability beyond the seven year period will not provide a reasonable estimate, as these uncertainties increase significantly as the projection period lengthens. The Company's estimate of asbestos-related insurance recoveries represents estimated amounts due to the Company for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated liability for pending and future claims. In determining the amount of insurance recoverable, the Company considers a number of factors, including available insurance, allocation methodologies, solvency and creditworthiness of the insurers. On a quarterly basis, the Company re-evaluates the assumptions used to perform the annual analysis and records an expense as necessary to reflect changes in its estimated liability and related insurance asset.

        As of March 25, 2011, the Company's estimated net liability of $91 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $302 million, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $211 million. Similarly, as of September 24, 2010, the Company's estimated net liability of $106 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $309 million, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $203 million.

        The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information as well as estimates and assumptions. Key variables and assumptions include the number and type of new claims that are filed each year, the average cost of resolution of claims, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, amount of insurance and the solvency risk with respect to the Company's insurance carriers. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty in the later portion of the projection period. Other factors that may affect the Company's liability and cash payments for asbestos-related matters include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms of state or federal tort legislation and the applicability of insurance policies among subsidiaries. The Company believes that its asbestos-related reserves as of March 25, 2011 are

appropriate. However, actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company's calculations vary significantly from actual results.

Compliance Matters

        As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, the Company has received and responded to various allegations and other information that certain improper payments were made by the Company's subsidiaries and agents in recent years. For example, two subsidiaries in the Company's Flow Control business in Italy have been charged, along with numerous other parties, in connection with the Milan public prosecutor's investigation into allegedly improper payments made to certain Italian entities. The Company reported to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it has taken in response to these and other allegations and its internal investigations. In 2005, the Company informed the DOJ and the SEC that it retained outside counsel to perform a Company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and that it would continue to investigate and make periodic progress reports to these agencies. The Company has and will continue to communicate with the DOJ and SEC to provide updates on the baseline review and follow-up investigations, including, as appropriate, briefings concerning additional instances of potential improper conduct identified by the Company in the course of its ongoing compliance activities. The baseline review, which has been completed, has revealed that some business practices may not comply with Tyco and FCPA requirements, and in February 2010, the Company initiated discussions with the DOJ and SEC aimed at resolving these matters. Active discussions remain ongoing, and the Company cannot predict the timing of their resolution or their outcome and cannot estimate the range of potential loss or the form of penalty that may result from an adverse resolution. It is possible that the Company may be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, consent to the imposition of a compliance monitor, or suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse impacts, including being subject to lawsuits brought by private litigants, each of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Covidien and TE Connectivity agreed, in connection with the Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its responses regarding these matters. Any judgment required to be paid or settlement or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with the FCPA investigations matters would be subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which assigned liabilities primarily related to the former Healthcare and Electronics businesses of the Company to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively, and provides that the Company will retain liabilities primarily related to its continuing operations. Any liabilities not primarily related to a particular segment will be shared equally among the Company, Covidien and TE Connectivity.

        As previously disclosed, in early 2007 certain former subsidiaries in the Company's Flow Control business were charged, prior to their divestiture, by the German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") with engaging in anti-competitive practices, in particular with regard to its hydrant, valve, street box and fittings business. The Company investigated this matter and determined that the conduct may have violated German competition law. The Company is cooperating with the FCO in its ongoing investigation of this violation. The Company cannot estimate the range of potential loss that may result from this violation. It is possible that the Company may be subject to civil or criminal proceedings and

may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ERISA Partial Withdrawal Liability Assessment and Demand

        On June 8, 2007, SimplexGrinnell received a notice alleging that it had partially withdrawn from the National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Pension Fund (the "Fund"). Under Title IV of ERISA, if the Fund can prove that an employer completely or partially withdraws from a multi-employer pension plan such as the Fund, the employer is liable for withdrawal liability equal to its proportionate share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits. The alleged withdrawal results from a 1994 labor dispute between Grinnell Fire Protection Systems, SimplexGrinnell's predecessor, and Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union No. 669.

        ERISA requires that payment of withdrawal liability be made in full or in quarterly installments commencing upon receipt of a liability assessment from the plan. A plan's assessment of withdrawal liability generally may be challenged only in arbitration, and ERISA requires that quarterly payments must continue to be made during the pendency of the arbitration. If the employer prevails in arbitration (and any subsequent appeals), its quarterly withdrawal liability payments are refunded with interest. The Fund's total withdrawal liability assessment against SimplexGrinnell is approximately $25 million. The quarterly withdrawal liability payments are $1.1 million, $16.5 million of which has been cumulatively paid through March 25, 2011. While the ultimate outcome is uncertain, SimplexGrinnell believes that it has strong arguments that no withdrawal liability is owed to the Fund, and it plans to vigorously defend against the Fund's withdrawal liability assessment. The matter is currently in arbitration. The Company has made no provision for this contingency and believes that its quarterly payments are recoverable.

Broadview Security Contingency

        On May 14, 2010, the Company acquired Broadview Security, which is a business that was formerly owned by The Brink's Company. Under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992, as amended (the "Coal Act"), The Brink's Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries at July 20, 1992 (including certain legal entities acquired in the Broadview Security acquisition) are jointly and severally liable with certain of The Brink's Company's other current and former subsidiaries for health care coverage obligations provided for by the Coal Act. A Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Associate ("VEBA") trust has been established by The Brink's Company to pay for these liabilities, although the trust may have insufficient funds to satisfy all future obligations. At the time of its spin-off from The Brink's Company, Broadview Security entered into an agreement in which The Brink's Company agreed to indemnify it for any and all liabilities and expenses related to The Brink's Company's former coal operations, including any health care coverage obligations. The Brink's Company has agreed that this indemnification survives the Company's acquisition of Broadview Security. The Company has evaluated its potential liability under the Coal Act as a contingency in light of all known facts, including the funding of the VEBA, and indemnification provided by The Brinks Company. The Company has concluded that no accrual is necessary due to the existence of the indemnification and its belief that The Brink's Company and VEBA will be able to satisfy all future obligations under the Coal Act.

ADT Dealer Litigation

        As previously reported, in 2002, the SEC's Division of Enforcement conducted an investigation related to past accounting practices for dealer connect fees that ADT had charged to its authorized dealers upon purchasing customer accounts. The investigation related to accounting practices employed by the Company's former management, which were discontinued in 2003. Although the Company settled with the SEC in 2006, a number of former dealers and related parties have filed lawsuits against the Company in the United States and in other countries, including a class action lawsuit filed in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado, alleging breach of contract and other claims related to ADT's decision to terminate certain authorized dealers in 2002 and 2003. In February 2010, the Court granted a directed verdict in ADT's favor dismissing a number of the plaintiffs' key claims. The plaintiffs have appealed this verdict. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of these lawsuits, the Company does not believe these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Matters

        In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to claims and suits, including from time to time, contractual disputes and product and general liability claims, incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. With respect to many of these claims, the Company either self-insures or maintains insurance through third-parties, with varying deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are covered by insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond amounts recorded for such matters.

        Income Tax Matters—See Note 5 for a more detailed discussion of the status of the Company's outstanding income tax audits.

11.    Retirement Plans

        The estimated net actuarial loss for U.S. pension benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the current fiscal year is expected to be $10 million.

        The estimated net actuarial loss for non-U.S. pension benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the current fiscal year is expected to be $12 million.

        The Company's funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with the laws and customs of the various countries in which it operates and to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time-to-time. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plans in fiscal year 2011 of $10 million for U.S. plans and $60 million for non-U.S. plans. The Company also anticipates making voluntary contributions of approximately $20 million to its U.S. plans during 2011. During the six months ended March 25, 2011 the Company contributed $2 million to its U.S. pension plans and $33 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, respectively.

        Postretirement Benefit Plans—Net periodic postretirement benefit cost was insignificant for both periods.

12.    Shareholders' Equity

Dividends

        Pursuant to Swiss law, dividend payments made prior to January 1, 2011 were subjected to Swiss withholding taxes unless they were made in the form of a return of capital from the Company's registered share capital. As a result, the Company paid dividends in the form of a reduction of registered share capital through February 2011. Due to a change in Swiss law effective January 1, 2011, the Company may now make dividend payments from its contributed surplus equity position in its Swiss statutory accounts free of Swiss withholding taxes. Unlike payments made in the form of a reduction to registered share capital, which are required to be denominated in Swiss francs and converted to U.S. dollars at the time of payment, payments from the contributed surplus account may effectively be denominated in U.S. dollars.

        Under Swiss law, the authority to declare dividends is vested in the general meeting of shareholders, and on March 9, 2011, the Company's shareholders approved an annual dividend on the Company's common shares of $1.00 per share, which will be paid from contributed surplus in four

installments of $0.25 per share. The first installment of $0.25 will be paid on May 25, 2011 to shareholders of record on April 29, 2011. As a result, the Company recorded an accrued dividend of $468 million as of March 9, 2011. The accrued dividend is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. On the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, this amount is recorded as a reduction of contributed surplus.

        On March 10, 2010, the Company's shareholders approved an annual dividend on the Company's common shares of CHF 0.90 per share, which was paid in the form of a return on capital in four installments of CHF 0.22, CHF 0.22, CHF 0.23 and CHF 0.23 to shareholders on record on May 14, 2010, July 30, 2010, October 29, 2010 and January 28, 2011, respectively. As a result, the Company recorded an accrued dividend of CHF 428 million as of March 10, 2010, which approximated $399 million based on the exchange rate in effect on that date. The accrued dividend is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 26, 2010. On the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, this amount is recorded as a reduction of common shares, which reduces the par value of the Company's common shares from CHF 7.60 to CHF 6.70. The installments were paid in U.S. dollars converted from Swiss Francs at the USD/CHF exchange rate in effect shortly before the payment dates.

Common Stock

        As of March 25, 2011, the Company's share capital amounted to CHF 3,446,822,712, or 514,451,151 registered common shares with a par value of CHF 6.70 per share. At the March 9, 2011 annual general meeting, shareholders approved the cancellation of 28,088,101 registered shares, which is expected to be effective once certain administrative steps are taken to register the corresponding CHF 188,190,277 capital reduction in Switzerland. Until March 9, 2013, the Board of Directors may increase the Company's share capital by a maximum amount of CHF 1,628,100,000 by issuing a maximum of 243,000,000 shares. In addition, until March 9, 2013 (i) the share capital of the Company may be increased by an amount not exceeding CHF 321,127,717 through the issue of a maximum of 47,929,510 shares through the exercise of conversion and/or option or warrant rights granted in connection with bonds, notes or similar instruments and (ii) the share capital of the Company may be increased by an amount not exceeding CHF 321,127,717 through the issue of a maximum of 47,929,510 shares to employees and other persons providing services to the Company. Although the Company states its par value in Swiss francs, it continues to use the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency for preparing its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share Repurchase Program

        The Company's Board of Directors approved the $1.0 billion 2010 share repurchase program and the $1.0 billion 2008 share repurchase program, in September 2010 and July 2008, respectively. During the six months ended March 25, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 24 million shares for approximately $1 billion under the 2008 and 2010 share repurchase programs, which reduced the amount of common shares outstanding and decreased the dividends declared on the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity as of March 25, 2011. The 2008 share repurchase program was completed and the 2010 share repurchase program was substantially completed during the six months ended March 25, 2011.

13.    Share Plans

        During the quarter ended December 24, 2010, the Company issued its annual share-based compensation grants. The total number of awards issued was approximately 6 million, of which 4 million were share options, 1 million were restricted unit awards and 1 million were performance share unit awards. The options and restricted stock units vest in equal annual installments over a period of 4 years, and the performance share unit awards vest after a period of 3 years based on the level of attainment of the applicable performance metrics, which are determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the share options, restricted unit awards and performance share unit awards was $9.13, $37.29 and $41.17, respectively. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included an expected stock price volatility of 33%, a risk free interest rate of 1.26%, an expected annual dividend per share of $0.84 and an expected option life of 5.2 years.

        During the quarter ended December 25, 2009, the Company issued its annual share-based compensation grants. The total number of awards issued was approximately 6 million, of which 4 million were share options, 1 million were restricted unit awards and 1 million were performance share unit awards. The options and restricted stock units vest in equal annual installments over a period of 4 years, and the performance share unit awards vest after a period of 3 years based on the level of attainment of the applicable performance metrics, which are determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the share options, restricted unit awards and performance share unit awards was $9.17, $33.75 and $40.19, respectively. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included an expected stock price volatility of 34%, a risk free interest rate of 2.47%, an expected annual dividend per share of $0.80 and an expected option life of 5.4 years.

15.    Consolidated Segment Data

        The Company, from time to time, may realign businesses and management responsibility within its operating segments based on considerations such as opportunity for market or operating synergies and/or to more fully leverage existing capabilities and enhance development for future products and services.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company realigned its Safety Products segment between its ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection segments to create two new segments: Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection. Tyco Security Solutions consists of the former ADT Worldwide segment as well as the portion of the former Safety Products segment that manufactures security products including intrusion, security, access control and video management systems. Tyco Fire Protection consists of the former Fire Protection Services segment as well as a number of businesses from the former Safety Products segment including the fire suppression and life safety products businesses. In addition, various businesses were realigned between Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection.

        As a result of this realignment, as well as the sale of a majority interest in the Electrical and Metal Products business (See Note 2), the Company has three core businesses: Tyco Security Solutions, Tyco Fire Protection and Tyco Flow Control.

        As a result of the realignment of these business activities and the reclassification of businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations, the revenue and operating income for the quarter and

18.    Guarantees

        Certain of the Company's business 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 the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would typically be triggered in the event of nonperformance and performance under the guarantees, if required, would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity in accordance with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreement. At the time of the Separation, Tyco recorded a liability necessary to recognize the fair value of such guarantees and indemnifications. In the absence of observable transactions for identical or similar guarantees, the Company determined the fair value of these guarantees and indemnifications utilizing expected present value measurement techniques. Significant assumptions utilized to determine fair value included determining a range of potential outcomes, assigning a probability weighting to each potential outcome and estimating the anticipated timing of resolution. The probability weighted outcomes were discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The liability necessary to reflect the fair value of guarantees and indemnifications under the Tax Sharing agreement was $554 million (of which $167 million and $156 million are included in accrued and other current liabilities and the remaining amounts in other liabilities as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively), on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010. During 2011, the Company reclassified $11 million from other liabilities to accrued and other current liabilities for a net payment due to Covidien and TE Connectivity related to the resolution of certain IRS audit and pre-Separation tax matters. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreement. See Note 5.

18.    Guarantees (Continued)

        In addition, Tyco historically provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien and TE Connectivity operating entities. In connection with the Separation, the Company worked with the guarantee counterparties to cancel or assign these guarantees to Covidien or TE Connectivity. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned prior to the Separation date, Tyco assumed primary liability on any remaining such support. The Company's obligations were $4 million, which were included in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively, with an offset to shareholders' equity on the Separation date.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 10.

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

        The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. The changes in the carrying amount of the Company's warranty accrual from September 24, 2010 to March 25, 2011 were as follows ($ in millions):

        TIFSA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has public debt securities outstanding which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. See Note 8. The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for Tyco, TIFSA and all other subsidiaries. Condensed financial information for Tyco and TIFSA on a stand-alone basis is presented using the equity method of accounting for subsidiaries.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

        The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report. The Company does not believe that its historical operating results will be indicative of future operating results. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information."

Introduction

        The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated results of Tyco International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland, and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "we", the "Company" or "Tyco"). The financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD"), in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we realigned our Safety Products segment between our ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection segments to create two new segments: Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection. Tyco Security Solutions consists of the former ADT Worldwide segment as well as the portion of the former Safety Products segment that manufactures security products including intrusion, security, access control and video management systems. Tyco Fire Protection consists of the former Fire Protection Services segment as well as a number of businesses from the former Safety Products segment including the fire suppression, fire detection and life safety products businesses. In addition, various businesses were realigned between Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection.

        As a result of this realignment, as well as the sale of a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business further described below, we have three core businesses: Tyco Security Solutions, Tyco Fire Protection and Tyco Flow Control. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        As noted below, we sold a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business on December 22, 2010. During the first fiscal quarter of 2011, we began operating in the following business segments:

    Tyco Security Solutions designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security, productivity and lifestyle enhancement systems for residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers. In addition, Tyco Security Solutions designs, manufactures and sells security products including intrusion, security, access control, electronic article surveillance and video management systems.

    Tyco Fire Protection designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services fire detection and fire suppression systems and building and life safety products for commercial, industrial and governmental customers.

    Tyco Flow Control designs, manufactures, sells and services valves, pipes, fittings, valve automation and heat tracing products for general process, energy and mining markets as well as the water and wastewater markets.

        We also provide general corporate services to our segments and these costs are reported as Corporate and Other.

        On November 9, 2010, we announced that we entered into an investment agreement (the "Agreement") to sell a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business to an affiliate of the private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (the "Investor"). We formed a newly

49


Table of Contents


incorporated holding company, Atkore International Group Inc. ("Atkore"), to hold our Electrical and Metal Products business. On December 22, 2010, the transaction closed and the Investor acquired shares of a newly-created class of cumulative convertible preferred stock of Atkore (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock initially represented 51% of the outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis) of Atkore. In connection with the closing, we received cash proceeds of approximately $713 million and recorded a gain of $259 million, (including a $49 million gain recognized in connection with determining the fair value of the Company's retained ownership interest) during the first quarter of 2011. During the second quarter, we recorded a working capital adjustment of $9 million that reduced the gain on disposal. The gain on disposal is recorded within restructuring, asset impairments and divestiture charges (gain), net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        Additionally, during the third quarter of fiscal 2010, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell our European water business, which was part of our Tyco Flow Control segment. The business met the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria and has been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The sale was completed for approximately $264 million in cash proceeds, net of $7 million of cash divested on sale, and a pre-tax gain of $168 million, which was largely exempt from tax. The gain was recorded in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        References to the segment data are to the Company's continuing operations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified certain businesses which have satisfied the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and assets and liabilities held for sale within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, as discussed above, the Company realigned certain business operations during the quarter ended December 24, 2010 and accordingly has recast prior period segment amounts. See Notes 2 and 15, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Overview

        Net revenue of $4.0 billion decreased $102 million, or 2.5%, for the quarter ended March 25, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010 and included favorable changes in foreign exchange rates of $70 million. On a six month basis, net revenue increased by $122 million, or 1.5%, to $8.4 billion, and included an $83 million favorable change in foreign currency exchange rates. Net revenue decreased in the quarter ended March 25, 2011, primarily due to the sale of a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business on December 22, 2010, which contributed $336 million in net revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Although overall net revenue decreased, net revenue increased in our Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection businesses. However, net revenue for the six months ended March 25, 2011 increased despite the sale of a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business, which contributed $633 million during the six months ended March 26, 2010. The increase in net revenue was attributable to strength in our Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection segments, offset by weakness in our Flow Control Segment. Net revenue increased in both the quarter and six months in our Tyco Security Solutions segment, reflecting growth in customer accounts primarily related to the Broadview Security acquisition, partially offset by divested revenues primarily related to the sale of our French security business. Net revenues in our Tyco Fire Protection segment were up slightly in both the quarter and six months, due to volume improvements in service and products revenue slightly offset by a decline in systems installation revenue. Net revenue in our Tyco Flow Control segment decreased in both the quarter and six months primarily due to a decline in our Water & Environmental Systems business.

        Service revenue, which is primarily recurring in nature, represented approximately 47% and 45% of our overall revenue for the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011, respectively compared to 41% for both the quarter and six months ended March 26, 2010. Service revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased primarily due to the divestiture of our Electrical and Metal Products business, which was primarily a non-service revenue business. Service revenues are principally derived from our Tyco

50


Table of Contents


Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection businesses, and represent a consistent source of revenue from monitoring and maintenance services under contractual agreements. Recurring revenue in our Tyco Security Solutions business grew to approximately 58% of Tyco Security Solutions' total revenue as of March 25, 2011, compared to approximately 55% as of March 26, 2010, which is primarily due to the Broadview Security acquisition. In the Tyco Fire Protection business, service revenue increased by approximately 1.4% and 0.9% for the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011, respectively, to approximately $427 million and $853 million, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011, non-service revenue in Tyco Security Solutions and Tyco Fire Protection improved slightly compared to the prior periods, due to strength in systems installation and product sales in Tyco Security Solutions and product sales in Tyco Fire Protection. This improvement was offset by continued revenue declines in Tyco Flow Control and the systems installation business in Tyco Fire Protection.

        Operating income for the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011 was $437 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, compared to operating income of $425 million and $830 million for the quarter and six months ended March 26, 2010. The increase in operating income for the six month period includes a net gain on divestitures of $233 million primarily related to a $250 million net gain related to the sale of a majority interest in the Electrical and Metal Products business. The increase in both periods also reflects strong growth in our Tyco Security Solutions business. Operating income included restructuring charges and acquisition and integration costs of $44 million and $17 million, respectively, during the six months ended March 25, 2011 compared to $29 million and $44 million of restructuring charges and a gain on divestitures, respectively, recorded during the six months ended March 26, 2010.

        Our cash balance was $1.8 billion as of September 24, 2010 and March 25, 2011. We generated approximately $913 million of cash from operating activities and $85 million of cash from investing activities, and utilized $937 million of cash in financing activities during the six months ended March 25, 2011. During the six months ended March 25, 2011, approximately $1.0 billion of cash was generated from divestitures, primarily related to $713 million for the sale of the majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business and $264 million for the sale of our European water business, which was presented in net cash provided by (used in) discontinued investing activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. During the six months ended March 25, 2011, uses of cash primarily included $1 billion to repurchase our common shares, $361 million of capital expenditures, $279 million to purchase customer contracts in our Tyco Security Solutions segment and $224 million to pay cash dividends. We expect to continue to use our cash to fund internal growth opportunities, improve productivity across all of our businesses, make bolt-on acquisitions that strategically fit within our businesses and return capital to shareholders.

        In 2011, we expect to take advantage of restructuring opportunities that should provide future cost savings. We expect to incur total restructuring and restructuring related charges of approximately $200 million in fiscal 2011. We incurred $12 million and $44 million of restructuring charges during the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011, respectively.

On December 22, 2010, we sold a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business. As a result, there was no net revenue or operating income generated by the Electrical and Metal Products business during the quarter ended March 25, 2011. As such, there is no quarterly or six months discussion related to the Electrical and Metal Products business. Net revenue and operating income was $347 million and $7 million, respectively, for the quarter ended December 24, 2010 and the six months ended March 25, 2011. Net revenue was $336 million and $633 million for the quarter and six months ended March 26, 2010, respectively, and operating income was $24 million and $47 million for the quarter and six months ended March 26, 2010, respectively, for the Electrical and Metal Products business. This information has been provided in order to reconcile to the above net revenue and operating income for the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010.

        Net revenue for Tyco Security Solutions of $2.1 billion increased by $227 million, or 12.3%, during the quarter ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Net revenue was favorably impacted by the estimated net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $91 million, or 4.9%, substantially all of which was related to the acquisition of Broadview Security in May 2010 and the sale of our French security business in March 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also favorably impacted revenues by $29 million, or 1.6%. Also favorably impacting net revenue was growth in our recurring revenue business as a result of incremental account growth, net of attrition, in the North America and Rest of World ("ROW") regions. In addition, our non-recurring business favorably impacted net revenue with new retail store expansion activity in ROW and increased demand within North America for construction projects and security system upgrades.

Recurring Net Revenue

        Recurring revenue is generated from contractual monitoring and maintenance agreements that are long-term in nature, and is primarily driven by the addition or loss of customer accounts and average revenue per customer.

        Recurring net revenue increased by $185 million, or 18.0%, to approximately $1.2 billion primarily as a result of a net increase of approximately 1.5 million customer accounts. The increase in customer accounts was primarily related to the acquisition of Broadview Security, which added approximately 1.4 million customer accounts as of May 14, 2010 along with incremental account growth, net of attrition, in the North America and ROW regions. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also

favorably impacted recurring net revenue by $14 million, or 1.4%. The average revenue per customer decreased by $0.21 in the quarter ended March 25, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of Broadview Security, as Broadview Security's customer base was predominantly residential, which generates lower average revenue per customer than our commercial business. On a quarter sequential basis, average revenue per customer slightly increased and attrition was stable.

Non-Recurring Net Revenue

        Non-recurring revenue is generated from product sales (including sales and installation of electronic security and products related to retailer anti-theft systems, as well as other life safety systems) and from services such as the provisioning of armored guards and one-time repair, security system upgrades or inspection jobs. Non-recurring net revenue increased by $42 million, or 5.1%, to $867 million in the quarter ended March 25, 2011 despite the divestiture of our French security business which contributed substantially all of the $28 million in divested revenue for the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted non-recurring net revenue by $15 million, or 1.8%. The remaining increase of $55 million was primarily due to strength in the commercial end markets, with new retail store expansion activity in ROW and increased demand within North America for construction projects and security system upgrades.

Revenue by Geography

        North American revenue consists of residential and small business, primarily a recurring revenue business, and commercial, primarily a non-recurring revenue business. Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and ROW revenue are primarily commercial. Net revenue by geography for Tyco Security Solutions was as follows ($ in millions):

        Net revenue in North America increased by $211 million, or 20.4%, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Broadview Security. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also favorably impacted North American revenue by $6 million, or 0.6%. Residential and small business net revenue increased by 29.5%, compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of Broadview Security. Commercial net revenue increased by 8.2%, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in construction projects and security system upgrades in the commercial end markets.

        Net revenue in EMEA decreased by $32 million, or 7.1%, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by $45 million, or 10.0%, due to divested businesses, with the sale of our French security business on March 9, 2010, and several smaller businesses in Europe contributing the majority of the reduction. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted EMEA revenue by $7 million, or 1.6%. The decreases in net revenue in EMEA were partially offset by revenue increases as a result of stronger system installations across the entire region.

        Net revenue in ROW increased by $33 million, or 11.5%, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $13 million, or 4.5%. The increase in net revenue for ROW was primarily due to the Asia Pacific and Latin America emerging markets as management continued to expand the customer account base and system installation revenue in these regions.

        Net revenue in Tyco Security Products increased by $15 million, or 17.9%, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010.

        Operating income of $323 million increased $11 million, or 3.5%, in the quarter ended March 25, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted operating income by $4 million, or 1.3%. Included in operating income for the quarter ended March 26, 2010, was a net gain on divestitures of $51 million primarily related to the sale of our French security business, as compared to a net loss on divestitures of $1 million for the quarter ended March 25, 2011. In addition, included in operating income for the quarter ended March 25, 2011 is $10 million of acquisition and integration costs primarily consisting of $9 million of integration costs related to the acquisition of Broadview Security, which was acquired on May 14, 2010, as compared to nil during the quarter ended March 26, 2010. These decreases in operating income were more than offset by higher sales volume, efficiencies gained through restructuring actions taken in the prior year and other cost containment activities. Although operating income increased, the operating margin declined by 1.3 percentage points, primarily as a result of the net gain on divestitures in the prior year and integration costs discussed above.

Table of Contents

    certain systems installation products was misclassified as service revenue. The service revenue and systems installation revenue during the quarter ended March 26, 2010 have not been changed for this misclassification, as the effect is not material. The impact of the misclassification for the quarter ended March 26, 2010 would have been to decrease service revenue by $9 million with a corresponding increase to systems installation within revenue from product sales. If the revenue from these products for the comparable prior period were classified as product sales, service revenue would have increased as compared to the comparable period in the prior year by $15 million or 3.6%. In addition, product sales would have increased as compared to the comparable period in the prior year by $12 million or 1.8%.

        Net revenue for Tyco Fire Protection of $1.1 billion increased by $27 million, or 2.5%, during the quarter ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $17 million, or 1.6%, while the deconsolidation of a joint venture in our Fire Protection Services business as a result of adopting a new accounting standard during the first quarter negatively impacted net revenue by $19 million, or 1.8%. The remaining increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased volume in product sales as a result of generally improved end-market demand, implementation of pricing actions to offset commodity inflationary pressures, and continued emerging markets expansion, partially offset by a decline in systems installation revenue as a result of project selectivity.

    Revenue from systems installation and product sales

        Revenue from product sales includes sales and installation of fire protection and other systems. Revenue from systems installation decreased by $10 million, or 2.6%, during the quarter ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted systems installation revenue by $6 million, or 1.6%, while the deconsolidation of a joint venture discussed above unfavorably impacted net revenue by $13 million, or 3.4%. The remaining decrease was due to project selectivity resulting from a focus on higher margin projects primarily in EMEA.

        Revenue from product sales increased by $31 million, or 11.3%, during the quarter ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. The increase in net revenue was driven by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $2 million, or 0.7%, and increased volume primarily due to improved end-market demand and implementation of pricing actions to offset commodity inflationary pressures.

Service revenue

        Service revenue consists of inspection, maintenance, monitoring and repair of fire detection, suppression, and other life safety systems. Service revenue increased by $6 million, or 1.4%, during the quarter ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $9 million, or 2.1%, partially offset by the deconsolidation of a joint venture discussed above which unfavorably impacted net revenue by $6 million, or 1.4%. The remaining increase in service revenue was as a result of management's continued focus on expanding our recurring service revenue.

The increase in operating income and operating margin was primarily driven by increased sales volume, implementation of pricing actions to offset commodity inflationary pressures, and project selectivity focused on higher margin products and services as well as cost-containment initiatives. During the quarter ended March 25, 2011, $4 million of restructuring and a loss on divestiture of $3 million were incurred as compared to $5 million of restructuring charges and a loss on divestiture of $3 million during the quarter ended March 26, 2010.

Revenue for the quarter ended March 26, 2010 included revenue from a large desalinization project in our Water & Environmental Systems business in Australia that was completed at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and had a negligible impact in the quarter. To a lesser extent, revenue was negatively impacted by weather related delays in our Australian water business. This decrease was partially offset by moderate increases in revenue in our Valves and Controls and Thermal Controls businesses due to generally improving economic conditions.

Volume declines in our Water & Environmental Systems business more than offset the favorable impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and decreased restructuring charges.

    Corporate and Other

        Corporate expense for the quarter ended March 25, 2011 was $100 million compared to $105 million during the quarter ended March 26, 2010. Included in Corporate expense were divestiture charges of $9 million and acquisition related costs of $2 million for the quarter ended March 25, 2011

as compared to $4 million and $3 million in divestiture charges and acquisition costs, respectively, in the same period in the prior year. The quarter ended March 25, 2011 included expense of $1 million related to legacy legal matters and a net restructuring charge of $2 million while the same period in the prior year had no such charges.

    Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income was $9 million and $8 million for the quarters ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively. The increase in interest income is primarily related to higher investment yields.

        Interest expense was $63 million in the quarter ended March 25, 2011 compared to $75 million in the quarter ended March 26, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to savings from a reduction in our interest rate due to the redemption of the 6.375% Notes due 2011 and issuance of the 3.375% Notes due 2015 during the third quarter of 2010. To a lesser extent, the reduction in interest expense was related to the maturity of the 6.75% Notes due 2011 and issuances of the 3.75% Notes due 2018 and the 4.625% Notes due 2023 during the second quarter of 2011.

    Other (Expense) Income, Net

        Other (expense) income, net was an expense of $6 million and income of $3 million during the quarters ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively. Other (expense) income, net for the quarter ended March 25, 2011 primarily related to our share in Atkore's, our former Electrical & Metal business, net income, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Other (expense) income, net for the quarter ended March 26, 2010 primarily related to an increase in amounts due from Covidien and TE Connectivity, formerly Tyco Electronics, under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

    Effective Income Tax Rate

        Our effective income tax rate was 15.1% and 14.7% during the quarters ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively. The tax rates in each quarter were favorably impacted by a number of non-recurring tax benefits. However, the rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to discrete items, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors, such as the geographic mix of income before taxes.

Net revenue was favorably impacted by the estimated net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $167 million, or 4.4%, substantially all of which was related to the acquisition of Broadview Security in May 2010 and the sale of our French security business in March 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also favorably impacted net revenue by $34 million, or 0.9%. Also favorably impacting net revenue was growth in our recurring revenue business as a result of incremental account growth, net of attrition, in the North America and ROW regions. In addition, our non-recurring business favorably impacted net revenue with new retail store expansion activity in ROW and increased demand within North America for construction projects and security system upgrades.

        Recurring net revenue increased by $353 million, or 17.1%, to approximately $2.4 billion primarily as a result of a net increase of approximately 1.5 million customer accounts. The increase in customer accounts was primarily related to the acquisition of Broadview Security, which added approximately 1.4 million customer accounts as of May 14, 2010 along with incremental account growth, net of attrition, in the North America and ROW regions. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also favorably impacted recurring net revenue by $20 million, or 1.0%. The average revenue per customer for all customer accounts decreased by $0.21 during the six months ended March 25, 2011 as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of Broadview Security, as Broadview Security's customer base was predominantly residential, which generates lower average revenue per customer than our commercial business. On a year-over-year sequential basis, average revenue per customer slightly increased and attrition was stable.

Non-Recurring Net Revenue

        Non-recurring revenue is generated from product sales (including sales and installation of electronic security and products related to retailer anti-theft systems, as well as other life safety systems) and from services such as the provisioning of armored guards and one-time repair, security system upgrades or inspection jobs. Non-recurring net revenue increased by $67 million, or 3.9%, to $1.8 billion for the six months ended March 25, 2011 despite the divestiture of our French security business which contributed substantially all of the $65 million in divested revenue for the six months ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted non-recurring net revenue by $14 million, or 0.8%. The remaining increase of $118 million was primarily due to strength in commercial end markets, with new retail store expansion activity in ROW and increased demand within North America for construction projects and security system upgrades.

Residential and small business net revenue increased 29.8% compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of Broadview Security. Commercial net revenue increased 7.7%, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010, primarily as a result of increase in construction projects and security system upgrades in the commercial end markets.

        Net revenue in EMEA decreased by $93 million, or 10.0%, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by $107 million, or 11.5%, due to divested businesses, with the sale of our French security business on March 9, 2010, and several smaller businesses in Europe contributing the majority of the reduction. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also unfavorably impacted EMEA revenue by $5 million, or 0.5%. These decreases in net revenue were partially offset by a moderate increase in revenue primarily due to stronger system installations activity.

        Net revenue in ROW increased by $59 million, or 10.2%, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $25 million, or 4.3%.

Revenue related to the sale of certain products is classified as revenue from product sales. In reporting periods prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue related to certain systems installation products was misclassified as service revenue. The service revenue and systems installation revenue during the six months ended March 26, 2010 have not been changed for this misclassification, as the effect is not material. The impact of the misclassification for the six months ended March 26, 2010 would have been to decrease service revenue by $17 million with a corresponding increase to systems installation within revenue from product sales. If the revenue from these products for the comparable prior period were classified as product sales, service revenue would have increased as compared to the comparable period in the prior year by $25 million or 3.0%. In addition, product sales would have decreased as compared to the comparable period in the prior year by $11 million or 0.8%.

        Net revenue for Tyco Fire Protection of $2.2 billion increased by $14 million, or 0.6%, during the six months ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $16 million, or 0.7%, while the deconsolidation of a joint venture in our Fire Protection services business as a result of adopting a new accounting standard during the first quarter unfavorably impacted net revenue by $37 million, or 1.7%. The remaining increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in service revenue and increased volume in product sales as a result of generally improved end-market demand implementation of pricing actions to offset commodity inflationary pressures, and continued emerging markets expansion, partially offset by a decline in systems installation revenue as a result of project selectivity primarily in EMEA.

Revenue from systems installation and product sales

        Revenue from product sales includes sales and installation of fire protection and other systems. Revenue from systems installation decreased by $43 million, or 5.4%, during the six months ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted systems installation revenue by $7 million, or 0.9%, while the deconsolidation of a joint venture discussed above unfavorably impacted systems installation by $28 million, or 3.5%. The remaining decrease was due to project selectivity resulting from a focus on higher margin projects primarily in EMEA.

        Revenue from product sales increased by $49 million, or 8.8%, during the six months ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted product revenue by $2 million, or 0.4%. More than offsetting this decline was an increase in net revenue driven by increased volumes due to improved end-market demand and implementation of pricing actions to offset commodity inflationary pressures.

Service revenue

        Service revenue consists of inspection, maintenance, monitoring and repair of fire detection suppression and other life safety systems. Service revenue increased by $8 million, or 0.9%, during the six months ended March 25, 2011, as compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $11 million, or 1.3%, partially offset by the deconsolidation of a joint venture discussed above of $9 million, or 1.1%. The remaining increase in service revenue was as a result of management's continued focus on expanding our recurring service revenue.

Operating income

        Operating income of $216 million increased $4 million, or 1.9%, in the six months ended March 25, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted operating income by $5 million, or 2.4%, partially offset by a decrease in operating income due to the deconsolidation of a joint venture of $3 million, or 1.4%. The increase in operating income and operating margin was primarily driven by increased sales volume, implementation of pricing actions to offset commodity inflationary pressures, and project selectivity focused on higher margin products and services as well as cost-containment initiatives. During the six months ended March 25, 2011, $31 million of restructuring and a loss on divestitures of $15 million were incurred as compared to $5 million of restructuring charges and a loss on divestiture of $2 million during the six months ended March 26, 2010.

Net revenue

  $ 1,630   $ 1,656     (1.6 )%
                 

        Net revenue for Tyco Flow Control of $1.6 billion decreased $26 million, or 1.6%, during the six months ended March 25, 2011 compared to the six months ended March 26, 2010 despite favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $31 million, or 1.9%. The revenue decline was primarily related to weakness in our Water & Environmental Systems business including the weather related delays in the second quarter discussed above. In addition, net revenue decreased, to a lesser extent, as a result of volume declines in our Valves and Controls business during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which more than offset increased volumes in our Valves and Controls business due to improving economic conditions during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. These decreases in net revenue were partially offset by an increase in our Thermal Controls business primarily due to continued strength in product sales and increased project activity.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Operating income

        Operating income of $186 million decreased $7 million, or 3.6%, in the six months ended March 25, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Operating income was favorably impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $3 million, or 1.6%. Restructuring charges were $5 million during the six months ended March 25, 2011 as compared to $12 million in the same period in the prior year. Volume declines in our Water & Environmental Systems business more than offset the favorable impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and decreased restructuring charges.

    Corporate and Other

        Corporate expense for the six months ended March 25, 2011 included a net gain of $250 million, related to the divestiture of our Electrical and Metal Products business. As a result, Corporate and Other had income of $64 million during the six months ended March 25, 2011 as compared to expense of $202 million during the six months ended March 26, 2010. The six months ended March 25, 2011 also included income of $6 million related to legacy legal matters offset by a restructuring charge of $7 million and acquisition costs of $2 million, while the six months ended March 26, 2010 included acquisition costs and a loss on divestiture of $3 million and $6 million, respectively.

    Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income was $18 million and $17 million for the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively. The increase in interest income is primarily related to higher investment yields.

63


Table of Contents

        Interest expense was $125 million for the six months ended March 25, 2011 compared to $150 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to savings from a reduction in our interest rate due to the redemption of the 6.375% Notes due 2011 and issuance of the 3.375% Notes due 2015 during the third quarter of 2010. To a lesser extent, the reduction in interest expense was related to the maturity of the 6.75% Notes due 2011 and issuances of the 3.75% Notes due 2018 and the 4.625% Notes due 2023 during the second quarter of 2011.

    Other (Expense) Income, Net

        Other (expense) income, net was an expense of $6 million and income of $12 million during the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively. Other (expense) income, net for the six months ended March 25, 2011 primarily related to our share in Atkore's, our former Electrical & Metal business, net income, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Other (expense) income, net for the six months ended March 26, 2010 primarily related to an increase in amounts due from Covidien and TE Connectivity, formerly Tyco Electronics, under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

    Effective Income Tax Rate

        Our effective income tax rate was 21.4% and 14.7% during the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, respectively. The increase in our effective income tax rate was primarily related to the tax charge recorded in conjunction with the sale of a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business during the first quarter of 2011. Our effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by a non-recurring item generating a tax benefit during the first quarter of 2010. However, the rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to discrete items, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors, such as the geographic mix of income before taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. We believe that our accounting policies for depreciation and amortization methods of security monitoring-related assets, revenue recognition, loss contingencies, income taxes, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and pension and postretirement benefits are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. During 2011, there have been no significant changes to these policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2010 (the "2010 Form 10-K"). See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the adoption of new accounting standards during 2011.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        A fundamental objective of the Company is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of its core businesses around the world. The primary source of funds to finance our operations and capital expenditures is cash generated by operations. In addition, we maintain a commercial paper program, have access to committed revolving credit facilities and have access to equity and debt capital from public and private sources. We continue to balance our operating, investing and financing uses of cash through investment in our core businesses, strategic acquisitions and divestitures, dividends and share repurchases. We

believe our cash position, amounts available under our credit facilities and cash provided by operating activities will be adequate to cover our operational and business needs.

        We had $1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively. Cash generated by operating activities decreased to $913 million for the six months ended March 25, 2011 compared to $1.0 billion for the six months ended March 26, 2010. Cash provided by investing activities was $85 million for the six months ended March 25, 2011 compared to cash used of $692 million for the six months ended March 26, 2010. Cash used in financing activities was $937 million for the six months ended March 25, 2011 compared to cash provided of $63 million for the six months ended March 26, 2010.

        As of March 25, 2011, our shareholder's equity was $13.9 billion and our total debt was $4.1 billion. In addition, we had lines of credit totaling approximately $1.5 billion, as discussed below, none of which were drawn. Our ratio of total debt to total capital (the sum of our short- and long-term debt and shareholders' equity) was 23% at March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively. This ratio is a measure of our long-term liquidity and is an indicator of financial flexibility.

        On January 12, 2011, Tyco International Finance, S.A. ("TIFSA"), our finance subsidiary, issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% notes due on January 15, 2018 and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% notes due on January 15, 2023, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received net cash proceeds of approximately $494 million. The net proceeds, along with other available funds, were used to fund the repayment of all of our outstanding 6.75% notes due in February 2011.

        On March 24, 2011, TIFSA, as the Borrower, and the Company as the Guarantor, entered into a Four-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, providing for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $750 million (the "Credit Agreement"). In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, TIFSA and the Company terminated the existing Three-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated June 24, 2008, which provided for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $500 million, and which was scheduled to expire in June 2011. The Credit Agreement also reduced the lenders' commitments under the existing Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007, from an aggregate of $1.19 billion to $750 million, and which is scheduled to expire in April 2012.

See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our restructuring activities.

        During the quarter and six months ended March 25, 2011 we contributed nil and $2 million, respectively, to our U.S. pension plans and $19 million and $33 million, respectively, to our non-U.S. pension plans. We anticipate contributing at least the minimum required to our pension plans in fiscal year 2011 of $10 million for our U.S. plans and $60 million for our non-U.S. plans. We also anticipate making voluntary contributions of approximately $20 million to our U.S. plans during 2011.

Cash flow from investing activities

        We made capital expenditures of $361 million for the six months ended March 25, 2011 as compared to $332 million during the comparable prior period. The level of capital expenditures in fiscal year 2011 is expected to exceed the spending levels in fiscal year 2010 and is also expected to exceed depreciation.

        During the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, we paid approximately $279 million and $266 million, respectively, to acquire approximately 250,000 and 234,000 customer contracts for electronic security services within our Tyco Security Solutions segment.

        During the six months ended March 25, 2011, we paid cash for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaling $9 million, for acquisitions primarily within our Tyco Flow Control and Tyco Fire Protection segments. During the six months ended March 26, 2010, cash paid for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaled $152 million, net of cash acquired of $1 million, primarily within our Tyco Flow Control, Electrical & Metal Products, and Tyco Fire Protection segments.

        During the six months ended March 25, 2011, we received cash proceeds, net of cash divested of approximately $1 billion for divestitures.

See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Cash flow from financing activities

        On January 12, 2011, Tyco International Finance, S.A. ("TIFSA"), our finance subsidiary, issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% notes due on January 15, 2018 and $250 million

67


Table of Contents


aggregate principal amount of 4.625% notes due on January 15, 2023, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received net cash proceeds of approximately $494 million after deducting debt issuance costs and a debt discount. The net proceeds, along with other available funds, were used to fund the repayment of all of our outstanding 6.75% notes due in February 2011.

        On October 5, 2009, TIFSA issued $500 million aggregate principle amount of 4.125% notes due 2014 (the "2014 notes"), which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received net proceeds of approximately $495 million after deducting debt issuance costs and a debt discount.

        As of December 25, 2009, TIFSA had made payments of $200 million to extinguish all of its commercial paper outstanding.

        Pursuant to our share repurchase program, we may repurchase Tyco shares from time to time in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market, or pursuant to an approved 10b5-1 trading plan in accordance with applicable regulations. During the six months ended March 25, 2011, we repurchased approximately 24 million common shares for approximately $1.0 billion under the 2008 and 2010 share repurchase programs.

        On March 9, 2011, our shareholders approved an annual dividend on our common shares of $1.00 per share, to be paid from contributed surplus in four installments of $0.25 per share. During the six months ended March 25, 2011 and March 26, 2010, we paid cash dividends of approximately $224 million and $214 million, respectively. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

        Management believes that cash generated by or available to us should be sufficient to fund our capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including quarterly dividend payments and share repurchases.


Commitments and Contingencies

        For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to tax and litigation matters and governmental investigations, see Notes 5 and 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog

        We had a backlog of unfilled orders of $9.7 billion and 9.5 billion as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively. We expect that approximately 88% of our backlog as of March 25, 2011 will be filled during the next 12 months. Backlog by segment was as follows ($ in millions):

        Backlog increased $233 million, or 2.5%, to $9.7 billion as of March 25, 2011. Changes in foreign currency rates favorably impacted backlog by $156 million, or 1.6%. The increase in backlog was primarily due to an increase in recurring revenue-in-force in our Tyco Security Solutions segment and increased bookings in our Tyco Flow Control segment. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bookings in our Tyco Fire Protection segment. Tyco Security Solutions' backlog includes recurring revenue-in-force and long-term deferred revenue for upfront fees paid by customers for Tyco

Security Solutions' owned security systems. Revenue-in-force represents 12 months' revenue associated with monitoring and maintenance services under contract in the security business. Tyco Security Solutions' backlog of $6.8 billion and $6.6 billion as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively, consists primarily of $4.9 billion and $4.7 billion of recurring revenue-in-force as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively, and $1.1 billion of deferred revenue for both March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010. Tyco Security Solutions' backlog increased $186 million primarily driven by an increase in revenue-in-force of $134 million and increased bookings of $55 million in our North American and Asia Pacific regions as several large projects were booked during the six months ended March 25, 2011. Tyco Flow Controls' backlog increased by $172 million primarily due to increased bookings of $119 million as several large projects were booked within the Thermal Controls business during the six months ended March 25, 2011. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also favorably impacted Flow Controls' backlog by $54 million. Tyco Fire Protections' backlog decreased by $37 million primarily due to a decrease of $91 million in the Asia-Pacific region as a result of the deconsolidation of a joint venture due to the adoption of a new accounting standard. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $31 million and $21 million experienced in the North America region and the global Fire Safety Products business, respectively.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Sale of Accounts Receivable

        Certain of our international businesses utilize the sale of accounts receivable as short-term financing mechanisms. The aggregate amount outstanding under our international accounts receivable programs was not material as of March 25, 2011 or September 24, 2010.

Guarantees

        Certain of our business 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 the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would typically be triggered in the event of nonperformance and performance under the guarantees, if required, would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity in accordance with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreement. At the time of the Separation, we recorded a liability necessary to recognize the fair value of such guarantees and indemnifications. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Tax Sharing Agreement. In addition, prior to the Separation we provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien and TE Connectivity operating entities. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned in connection with the Separation, we assumed primary liability on any remaining such support. These obligations were not material to us as of March 25, 2011.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We have no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.

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

        For a detailed discussion of guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Many of these risks, uncertainties and contingencies are beyond our control, and may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performances or achievements. Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things:

    overall economic and business conditions;

    risks associated with the change in our Swiss incorporation, including the possibility of reduced flexibility with respect to certain aspects of capital management, increased or different regulatory burdens, and the possibility that we may not realize anticipated tax benefits;

    changes in U.S. and non-U.S. government laws and regulations; and

    the possible effects on Tyco of future legislation in the United States that may limit or eliminate potential U.S. tax benefits resulting from Tyco International's Swiss incorporation or deny U.S. government contracts to Tyco based upon its Swiss incorporation.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The Company's exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed materially from our exposure discussed in the 2010 Form 10-K. In order to manage the volatility relating to our more significant market risks, we currently enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and commodity swaps.

        We utilize established risk management policies and procedures in executing derivative financial instrument transactions. We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments related to non-functional currency cash flows are used with the goal of mitigating a significant portion of these exposures when it is cost effective to do so. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments are limited to financial institutions with at least an A-/A3 long-term debt rating.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

        The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 25, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 25, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

Legacy Securities Matters

        Since June 2007, the Company has resolved substantially all of the legacy claims related to securities fraud and similar matters, with the exception of the claims related to former management and Mr. Frank Walsh Jr., a former director, described below. During the quarter ended December 24, 2010 certain contingencies related to the previously disclosed settlement of Stumpf v. Tyco International Ltd. class action lawsuit elapsed, and the Company adjusted its remaining reserves for this and other legacy securities matters, recognizing a net gain of $7 million during such quarter.

        Tyco is a party to several lawsuits involving disputes with former management, among which are affirmative cases brought by Tyco against Mr. Dennis L. Kozlowski, Tyco's former chief executive officer, Mr. Mark Swartz, its former chief financial officer, and Mr. Frank Walsh Jr., a former director. In connection with these affirmative actions, Mr. Kozlowski, through counterclaims, and Mr. Swartz, through demand letters, are seeking an aggregate of approximately $134 million allegedly due in connection with their compensation and retention arrangements and under ERISA.

        With respect to Mr. Kozlowski, on December 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of several of the Company's affirmative claims against him before trial, while dismissing all of Kozlowski's counterclaims for pay and benefits after 1995. The Company expects Mr. Kozlowski to appeal this decision after final judgment is entered. As a result, the Company has and will continue to maintain the reserve recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheet for the amounts allegedly due under his compensation and retention arrangements and under ERISA until the appeals process is complete. Although the ultimate resolution of this matter could differ materially from these estimates, the Company does not believe such resolution would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Tyco has also brought an action against Mr. Walsh in connection with the damages suffered by Tyco arising from Walsh's breach of his fiduciary duties to Tyco. In October 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied Tyco's affirmative claims for recovery of damages against Mr. Walsh. Tyco is pursuing an appeal. This affirmative matter, and the affirmative matters against Messrs. Kozlowski and Walsh, are not subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Separately, Mr. Walsh is pursuing a New York state court claim against the Company asserting his entitlement to indemnification. This action is subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Environmental Matters

        Tyco is 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 March 25, 2011, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $25 million to $80 million. As of March 25, 2011, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $34 million, of which $11 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $23 million is included in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters, the Company believes that any potential payments of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Asbestos Matters

        The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos-containing components manufactured by third-parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma-related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result, have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's strategy has been, and continues to be, to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, the Company cannot predict the extent to which it will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future. As of March 25, 2011, there were approximately 4,400 lawsuits pending against the Company, its subsidiaries or entities for which the Company has assumed responsibility. Each lawsuit typically includes several claims, and the Company has determined that there were approximately 5,300 claims outstanding as of March 25, 2011, which amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against it, its affiliates or entities for which it has assumed responsibility in connection with acquisitions or divestitures. This amount includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants or are duplicative of other actions.

        For a detailed discussion of asbestos-related matters, see Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the spin-offs of Covidien and TE Connectivity from Tyco, Tyco entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that governs the rights and obligations of each party with respect to certain pre-Separation income tax liabilities. More specifically, Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity' U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. Costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. Consistent with the sharing provisions of the Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco had a net receivable from Covidien and TE Connectivity of $115 million and $114 million as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, respectively. In addition, as of March 25, 2011 and September 24, 2010, the Company had recorded $387 million and $398 million, respectively, in other liabilities, and $167 million and $156 million, respectively, in accrued and other current liabilities. During 2011, we reclassified $11 million from other liabilities to accrued and other current liabilities for a net payment due to Covidien and TE Connectivity related to the resolution of certain IRS audit and pre-Separation tax matters.

        Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments. The Company is reviewing and contesting certain of the proposed tax adjustments. Amounts related to these tax adjustments and other tax contingencies and related interest have been assessed as uncertain income tax positions and recorded as appropriate.

        For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's income taxes, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Compliance Matters

        As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, the Company has received and responded to various allegations and other information that certain improper payments were made by the Company's subsidiaries and agents in recent years. For example, two subsidiaries in the Company's Flow Control business in Italy have been charged, along with numerous other parties, in connection with the Milan public prosecutor's investigation into allegedly improper payments made to certain Italian entities. The Company reported to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it has taken in response to these and other allegations and its internal investigations. In 2005, the Company informed the DOJ and the SEC that it retained outside counsel to perform a Company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and that it would continue to investigate and make periodic progress reports to these agencies. The Company has and will continue to communicate with the DOJ and SEC to provide updates on the baseline review and follow-up investigations, including, as appropriate, briefings concerning additional instances of potential improper conduct identified by the Company in the course of its ongoing compliance activities. The baseline review, which has been completed, has revealed that some business practices may not comply with Tyco and FCPA requirements, and in February 2010, the Company initiated discussions with the DOJ and SEC aimed at resolving these matters. Active discussions remain ongoing, and the Company cannot predict the timing of their resolution or their outcome and cannot estimate the range of potential loss or the form of penalty that may result from an adverse resolution. It is possible that the Company may be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, consent to the imposition of a compliance monitor, or suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse impacts, including being subject to lawsuits brought by private litigants, each of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Covidien and TE Connectivity agreed, in connection with the Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its responses regarding these matters. Any judgment required to be paid or settlement or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with the FCPA investigations matters would be subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which assigned liabilities primarily related to the former Healthcare and Electronics businesses of the Company to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively, and provides that the Company will retain liabilities primarily related to its continuing operations. Any liabilities not primarily related to a particular segment will be shared equally among the Company, Covidien and TE Connectivity.

        As previously disclosed, in early 2007 certain former subsidiaries in the Company's Flow Control business were charged, prior to their divestiture, by the German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") with engaging in anti-competitive practices, in particular with regard to its hydrant, valve, street box and fittings business. The Company investigated this matter and determined that the conduct may have violated German competition law. The Company is cooperating with the FCO in its ongoing investigation of this violation. The Company cannot estimate the range of potential loss that may result from this violation. It is possible that the Company may be subject to civil or criminal proceedings and may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ERISA Partial Withdrawal Liability Assessment and Demand

        On June 8, 2007, SimplexGrinnell received a notice alleging that it had partially withdrawn from the National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Pension Fund (the "Fund"). Under Title IV of ERISA, if the Fund can prove that an employer completely or partially withdraws from a multi-employer pension plan such as the Fund, the employer is liable for withdrawal liability equal to its proportionate share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits. The alleged withdrawal results from a 1994 labor dispute between

74


Table of Contents


Grinnell Fire Protection Systems, SimplexGrinnell's predecessor, and Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union No. 669.

        ERISA requires that payment of withdrawal liability be made in full or in quarterly installments commencing upon receipt of a liability assessment from the plan. A plan's assessment of withdrawal liability generally may be challenged only in arbitration, and ERISA requires that quarterly payments must continue to be made during the pendency of the arbitration. If the employer prevails in arbitration (and any subsequent appeals), its quarterly withdrawal liability payments are refunded with interest. The Fund's total withdrawal liability assessment against SimplexGrinnell is approximately $25 million. The quarterly withdrawal liability payments are $1.1 million, $16.5 million of which has been cumulatively paid through March 25, 2011. While the ultimate outcome is uncertain, SimplexGrinnell believes that it has strong arguments that no withdrawal liability is owed to the Fund, and it plans to vigorously defend against the Fund's withdrawal liability assessment. The matter is currently in arbitration. The Company has made no provision for this contingency and believes that its quarterly payments are recoverable.

Broadview Security Contingency

        On May 14, 2010, the Company acquired Broadview Security, which is a business that was formerly owned by The Brink's Company. Under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992, as amended (the "Coal Act"), The Brink's Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries at July 20, 1992 (including certain legal entities acquired in the Broadview Security acquisition) are jointly and severally liable with certain of The Brink's Company's other current and former subsidiaries for health care coverage obligations provided for by the Coal Act. A Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Associate ("VEBA") trust has been established by The Brink's Company to pay for these liabilities, although the trust may have insufficient funds to satisfy all future obligations. At the time of its spin-off from The Brink's Company, Broadview Security entered into an agreement in which The Brink's Company agreed to indemnify it for any and all liabilities and expenses related to The Brink's Company's former coal operations, including any health care coverage obligations. The Brink's Company has agreed that this indemnification survives the Company's acquisition of Broadview Security. The Company has evaluated its potential liability under the Coal Act as a contingency in light of all known facts, including the funding of the VEBA, and indemnification provided by The Brinks Company. The Company has concluded that no accrual is necessary due to the existence of the indemnification and its belief that The Brink's Company and VEBA will be able to satisfy all future obligations under the Coal Act.

ADT Dealer Litigation

        As previously reported, in 2002, the SEC's Division of Enforcement conducted an investigation related to past accounting practices for dealer connect fees that ADT had charged to its authorized dealers upon purchasing customer accounts. The investigation related to accounting practices employed by the Company's former management, which were discontinued in 2003. Although the Company settled with the SEC in 2006, a number of former dealers and related parties have filed lawsuits against the Company in the United States and in other countries, including a class action lawsuit filed in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado, alleging breach of contract and other claims related to ADT's decision to terminate certain authorized dealers in 2002 and 2003. In February 2010, the Court granted a directed verdict in ADT's favor dismissing a number of the plaintiffs' key claims. The plaintiffs have appealed this verdict. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of these lawsuits, the Company does not believe these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Matters

        In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to claims and suits, including from time to time, contractual disputes and product and general liability claims, incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. With respect to many of these claims, the Company either self-insures or maintains insurance through third-parties, with varying deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are covered by insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond amounts recorded for such matters.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        Tyco's significant business risks are described in Part I, Item 1A in our 2010 Form 10-K, to which reference is made herein. Management does not believe that there have been any significant changes in the Company's risk factors since the Company filed the 2010 Form 10-K.

        The transactions described in the table above represent the repurchase of common shares on the NYSE as part of the $1.0 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in September 2010 ("2010 Share Repurchase Program"). In addition, the Company also acquires shares from certain employees in order to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of restricted shares. Approximately 18,667 shares were acquired in these vesting-related transactions outside of the share repurchase program during the quarter ended March 25, 2011. The average price paid per share is calculated by dividing the total cash paid for the shares by the total number of shares repurchased. The 2010 Share Repurchase Program was substantially completed during the quarter ended March 25, 2011. Less than $1 million remained outstanding under the 2010 Share Repurchase Program as of March 25, 2011.
