Insights

TE Connectivity delivered a robust first quarter performance that underscores its operational excellence and strategic positioning in high-growth markets. The standout metrics include a record quarterly adjusted operating margin of 19.4% and free cash flow of $674 million, up 18% year-over-year, demonstrating strong execution despite macro challenges.

The order book trends are particularly encouraging, with $4.0 billion in new orders representing 6% year-over-year growth. This momentum is largely driven by the Industrial segment's expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure, suggesting TE is successfully positioning itself in the AI supply chain through its connectivity solutions. The company's strategic focus on AI applications could provide a sustainable growth vector as datacenter and computing infrastructure continues to expand.

The Transportation segment's performance reflects the company's ability to navigate through uneven global vehicle production while maintaining profitability. The segment's focus on electric vehicle components and next-generation vehicle connectivity positions it well for long-term growth in automotive electrification.

Capital allocation appears balanced and strategic, with $500 million returned to shareholders and $325 million deployed for bolt-on acquisitions in the Industrial segment. These acquisitions, coupled with the recent reorganization into two segments (Transportation and Industrial Solutions), suggest a more focused approach to market opportunities.

Looking ahead, the Q2 guidance indicates continued momentum with sequential growth expected. However, investors should note the $0.06 currency exchange and tax headwinds, as well as a one-time non-cash tax charge that will impact GAAP EPS. The company's ability to maintain margin expansion while dealing with these headwinds will be important for sustained performance.

EPS above guidance with record first quarter cash generation

GALWAY, Ireland, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity plc (NYSE: TEL) today reported results for the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 27, 2024.

First Quarter Highlights

Net sales were $3.84 billion, flat year over year and as expected on an organic basis.
- Compared to guidance, sales were unfavorably impacted by increased currency exchange headwinds.
Earnings per share (EPS) above guidance, with GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations at $1.75. Adjusted EPS was $1.95, up approximately 6% year over year.
Orders of $4.0 billion, up 6% year over year and 4% sequentially, driven by the Industrial segment, with increased momentum in artificial intelligence programs.
Operating margin was 18% and adjusted operating margin was a quarterly record at 19.4%, driven by strong operational execution.
Record first quarter cash generation, including:
- Cash from operating activities of $878 million, up 22% year over year.
- Free cash flow of $674 million, up 18% year over year.
Returned approximately $500 million to shareholders and deployed $325 million for bolt-on acquisitions in the Industrial segment.
Named to Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the 13^th consecutive year.

"I'm pleased that our team began the fiscal year with a strong operational performance, highlighted by adjusted EPS above guidance and records in both adjusted operating margin and first quarter free cash flow," said TE Connectivity CEO Terrence Curtin. "In our Transportation segment, we continued to navigate an uneven global vehicle production environment to deliver a strong result while continuing to innovate with our global customers in growth trends such as electrification and next-generation vehicle data connectivity. We delivered double digit sales growth in our Industrial segment and expanded margins, driven by momentum in AI programs across multiple customers, as well as capitalizing on ongoing strength in our AD&M and Energy businesses.

"As we continue our operational excellence and innovate with our valued customers, we expect second quarter sales to be up sequentially and adjusted EPS to be up year over year and compared to the first quarter. We remain excited about capitalizing on long-term growth opportunities, including our bolt-on acquisition strategy and margin expansion plans, to keep delivering on our value creation model."

Second Quarter FY25 Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the company expects net sales of approximately $3.95 billion. GAAP EPS from continuing operations is expected to be approximately ($0.05), which includes a one-time non-cash tax charge due to changes in tax law in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EPS is expected to be approximately $1.96, up 5% year over year. Second quarter guidance includes $0.06 of currency exchange and tax headwinds compared to the prior year.

Beginning this fiscal year, the company has two reportable segments – Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions – resulting from a reorganization announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The company provided recast financial information in an 8-K filing on Dec. 17, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP performance and liquidity measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision-making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

The following provides additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures:

Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) – represents net sales growth (decline) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that are not completely under management's control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin – represent operating income and operating margin, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, and other income or charges, if any. We utilize these adjusted measures in combination with operating income and operating margin to assess segment level operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and market conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations – represents income from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
Free Cash Flow (FCF) – is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP financial measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including cash paid (collected) pursuant to collateral requirements related to cross-currency swap contracts, are also excluded by management in evaluating Free Cash Flow. Net capital expenditures consist of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. These items are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments. In the calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract certain cash items that are ultimately within management's and the Board of Directors' discretion to direct and may imply that there is less or more cash available for our programs than the most comparable GAAP financial measure indicates. It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for future discretionary expenditures, as our definition of Free Cash Flow does not consider certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions, that are not considered in the calculation of Free Cash Flow.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this release include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results. Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the extent, severity and duration of business interruptions negatively affecting our business operations; business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products in the automotive and other industries we serve; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate, including continuing military conflict in certain parts of the world; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation. In addition, our change of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland is subject to risks, such as the risk that the anticipated advantages might not materialize, as well as the risks that the price of our stock could decline and our position on stock exchanges and indices could change, and Irish corporate governance and regulatory schemes could prove different or more challenging than currently expected. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in TE Connectivity plc's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept 27, 2024, as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
