NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. (“TE Connectivity” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2021.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 are to our fiscal years ending September 30, 2022 and ended September 24, 2021, respectively.

Fiscal 2022 Actions

During fiscal 2022, we initiated a restructuring program associated with footprint consolidation and cost structure improvements across all segments. During the quarter ended December 24, 2021, we recorded restructuring and related charges of $33 million in connection with this program. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during the quarter ended December 24, 2021 by the end of fiscal 2024 and anticipate that any additional charges will be insignificant.

Fiscal 2021 Actions

During fiscal 2021, we initiated a restructuring program across all segments to optimize our manufacturing footprint and improve the cost structure of the organization. In connection with this program, during the quarters ended December 24, 2021 and December 25, 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $4 million and $142 million, respectively. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2021 by the end of fiscal 2023 and to incur additional charges of approximately $12 million related to employee severance and facility exit costs.

The following table summarizes expected, incurred, and remaining charges for the fiscal 2021 program by segment:

7. Debt

During the quarter ended December 24, 2021, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (“TEGSA”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, called for the early redemption of all of its outstanding 3.50% senior notes due in February 2022, representing $500 million aggregate principal amount. The notes were redeemed in November 2021.

As of December 24, 2021, TEGSA had $479 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.25%. TEGSA had no commercial paper outstanding at September 24, 2021.

The fair value of our debt, based on indicative valuations, was approximately $4,343 million and $4,465 million at December 24, 2021 and September 24, 2021, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Table of Contents

TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Continued)

Trade Compliance Matters

We are investigating our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and have made voluntary disclosures of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) and the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”). We are cooperating with the BIS and DDTC on these matters, and both our internal assessment and the resulting investigations by the agencies remain ongoing. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of the agencies’ investigations. An unfavorable outcome may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our disclosures, but we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the extent of any such fines or penalties. While we have reserved for potential fines and penalties relating to these matters based on our current understanding of the facts, the investigations into these matters have yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigations and related fines and penalties may differ from amounts currently reserved.

Environmental Matters

We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of December 24, 2021, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $18 million to $46 million, and we accrued $21 million as the probable loss, which was the best estimate within this range. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Guarantees

In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

At December 24, 2021, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $132 million, excluding those related to our Subsea Communications (“SubCom”) business which are discussed below.

During fiscal 2019, we sold our SubCom business. In connection with the sale, we contractually agreed to continue to honor performance guarantees and letters of credit related to the SubCom business’ projects that existed as of the date of sale. These performance guarantees and letters of credit had a combined value of approximately $118 million as of December 24, 2021 and are expected to expire at various dates through fiscal 2025. We have contractual recourse against the SubCom business if we are required to perform on any SubCom guarantees; however, based on historical experience, we do not anticipate having to perform.

10. Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We utilize cross-currency swap contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain intercompany loans. The aggregate notional value of these contracts was €500 million and €700 million at December 24, 2021 and September 24, 2021, respectively. Certain contracts were terminated in the quarter ended December 24, 2021; the remaining contracts mature in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Under the terms of these contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, we make interest payments in euros at 3.50% per annum and receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 5.32% per annum. Upon maturity, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in

Hedge of Net Investment

We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany loans and external borrowings denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $3,055 million and $3,798 million at December 24, 2021 and September 24, 2021, respectively.

We also use a cross-currency swap program to hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations. The aggregate notional value of the contracts under this program was $1,576 million and $1,430 million at December 24, 2021 and September 24, 2021, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 1.67% per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal 2025, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in the designated foreign currency and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. We are not required to provide collateral for these contracts.
