Net revenue increased 2.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period.

Net revenue increased 4.7% on an organic basis, which excludes a decrease of 2.3% attributed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease of 0.1% due to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures.

This reflects organic revenue growth of 7.0% in Performance Sensing and organic revenue decline of 1.5% in Sensing Solutions.

Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,062.1 million, an increase of 4.1% compared to $1,020.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Excluding a decrease of 1.4% attributed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase of 2.1% due to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, net revenue increased 3.4% on an organic basis.

Organic revenue growth (or decline), discussed throughout this Item 2:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (this "MD&A"), is a financial measure not presented in accordance with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures included elsewhere in this MD&A for additional information related to our use of organic revenue growth (or decline).

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $22.9 million, or 18.2%, to $148.8 million (14.9% of net revenue) compared to $125.9 million (12.9% of net revenue) in the prior year period.

This increase was primarily due to (1) lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense, primarily related to reduced compensation in the first quarter of 2023 as a result of restructuring actions taken in fiscal year 2022, (2) margin improvements driven by organic revenue growth partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and (3) lower restructuring and other charges, net.

These increases were partially offset by an increase in amortization expense as a result of intangibles recently acquired.

Refer to Results of Operations included elsewhere in this MD&A for additional discussion of our earnings results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period.

We have sufficient cash to operate the business effectively.

We generated $96.9 million of operating cash flow in the three months ended March 31, 2023, ending the quarter with $1.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we used approximately $16.8 million for payment of cash dividends and we have announced an increase in cash dividends for the second quarter to $0.12 per share.

In the first quarter of 2023, we prepaid $250.0 million of principal on the balance outstanding of the Term Loan and we intend to pay down the remaining principal balance on the Term Loan in the second quarter of 2023.

In fiscal year 2023, we will continue to return capital to shareholders through our dividend and

opportunistic share repurchases.

Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures included elsewhere in this MD&A for additional information regarding our use of organic revenue growth (or decline).

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,060.3 million, an increase of 3.2% compared to $1,996.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Excluding a decrease of 1.9% attributed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase of 1.1% due to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, net revenue increased 4.0% on an organic basis.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $20.9 million, or 15.1%, to $118.0 million (11.1% of net revenue) from $138.9 million (13.6% of net revenue) in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

This decline was largely driven by our decision to exit the Marine Business in the second quarter of 2023 (reflecting $38.3 million of charges incurred, including those related to accelerated amortization of intangible assets, write-down of inventory, and other restructuring charges), partially offset by the net impacts of pricing recoveries from customers, inflation on material and logistics costs, and volume leverage.

Refer to Note 5:

Restructuring and Other Charges, Net , of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding the exit of the Marine Business.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $2.0 million, or 0.7%, to $266.9 million (13.0% of net revenue) compared to $264.9 million (13.3% of net revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as the charges incurred related to the Marine Business were more than offset by the net impacts of pricing recoveries from customers, inflation on material and logistics costs, and volume leverage.

Refer to Results of Operations included elsewhere in this MD&A for additional discussion of our earnings results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period.

We generated $212.6 million of operating cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2023, ending the quarter with $857.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used approximately $448.4 million to pay down the remaining balance on our variable-rate Term Loan, bringing our gross indebtedness to $3.8 billion as of June 30, 2023 (a net leverage ratio of 3.2x) compared to $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2022 (a net leverage ratio of 3.4x).

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used cash of approximately $84.4 million for capital expenditures, $35.1 million for payment of dividends, and $25.1 million for share repurchases as part of our share repurchase plan.

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we increased our cash dividends to $0.12 per share, first paid to shareholders of record in May 2023.

In fiscal year 2023, we will continue to return capital to shareholders through our dividend and opportunistic share repurchases.

We expect improving free cash flow will naturally allow leverage to decline and returns on invested capital to improve over time.

In addition, our measures of organic revenue growth (or decline), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow, net leverage ratio, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as, or comparable to, similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Organic revenue growth (or decline)

Organic revenue growth (or decline) and market outgrowth

Organic revenue growth (or decline) is defined as the reported percentage change in net revenue, calculated in accordance with U.S.

1 unchanged sentence

We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides investors with helpful information with respect to our operating performance, and we use organic revenue growth (or decline) to evaluate our ongoing operations as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides useful information in

evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior-year period.

We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior-year period.

Market outgrowth is calculated as organic revenue growth less our weighted market growth.

Our weighted market growth is calculated using our regional and platform sales mix, as applicable, in the corresponding prior period.

Market outgrowth is used to describe the impact of an increasing quantity and value of our products used in customer systems and applications above market growth.

We believe this provides a more meaningful comparison of our revenue growth relative to the markets we serve.

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS

6 unchanged sentences

Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.

Management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS as measures of operating performance, for planning purposes (including the preparation of our annual operating budget), to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, in communications with our Board of Directors and investors concerning our financial performance, and as factors in determining compensation for certain employees.

We may also refer to certain of these measures, or changes in these measures, on a constant currency basis.

Adjusted operating margin calculated on a constant currency basis is determined by stating revenues and expenses at prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on all hedges.

Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis is determined in the same manner as adjusted operating margin, but also excludes the change in gain or loss on the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities.

Management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS (and the constant currency equivalent of each) as measures of operating performance, for planning purposes (including the preparation of our annual operating budget), to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, in communications with our Board of Directors and investors concerning our financial performance, and as factors in determining compensation for certain employees.

We believe investors and securities analysts also use these non-GAAP financial measures in their evaluation of our performance and the performance of other similar companies.

Operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to higher net income and timing of supplier payments and customer receipts.

We also paid approximately $17.0 million in additional interest in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to higher net income and timing of supplier payments and customer receipts.

The increase was partially offset by additional cash paid on interest of $15.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior period.

Investing activities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to no cash paid for acquisitions (compared to $48.4 million paid for Elastic M2M in the three months ended March 31, 2022) and no cash paid for investments in debt and equity securities (compared to $6.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022), partially offset by cash proceeds of $14.0 million from the divestiture of a business in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to (1) the fact that there were no acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2023 (compared to $49.0 million paid for Elastic M2M in the prior period) and (2) we paid $0.4 million to invest in debt and equity securities (compared to $6.9 million in the prior period), partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $10.4 million.

In addition, we received cash proceeds of $19.0 million from the sale of businesses in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

For fiscal year 2023, we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $170.0 million to $180.0 million, which we expect to fund with cash on hand.

Financing activities .

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased primarily due to the $250.0 million payment on the Term Loan made in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $16.8 million paid to shareholders in the form of cash dividends paid, partially offset by lower cash paid to repurchase ordinary shares as part of our share repurchase program.

On April 25, 2023, we announced that we intended to pay down $196.8 million (the remaining outstanding balance) on the Term Loan in the second quarter of 2023, which will be presented as a cash outflow within financing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased primarily due to (1) the early payment of the entire Term Loan balance made in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and (2) an increase in cash paid to shareholders in the form of cash dividends of $17.9 million, partially offset by lower cash paid to repurchase ordinary shares as part of our share repurchase program.

The Credit Agreement provides for Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisting of the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, and incremental availability (the "Accordion") under which additional secured credit facilities could be issued under certain circumstances.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $746.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $3.9 million of obligations in respect of outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder.

As of March 31, 2023, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.

As of June 30, 2023, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.

Availability under the Accordion varies each period based on our attainment of certain financial metrics as set forth in the terms of the Credit Agreement and the indentures under which our senior notes were issued (the "Senior Notes Indentures").

As of March 31, 2023, availability under the Accordion was approximately $1.0 billion.

As of June 30, 2023, availability under the Accordion was approximately $1.2 billion.

We believe, based on our current level of operations and taking into consideration the restrictions and covenants included in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes Indentures, that the sources of liquidity described above will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures, dividend payments, ordinary share repurchases, and debt service for at least the next twelve months.
