____________________________________
(1) These RSUs cliff vest one year from the grant date (May and June 2024).
(2) These RSUs vest ratably over three years , one-third per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. These RSUs will fully vest on various dates between January 2026 and August 2026.
(3) These PRSUs vest on various dates between April 2026 and July 2026. The number of units that ultimately vest will be between 0 % and 200 % and is dependent on the achievement of certain performance criteria.
(4) These awards include certain PRSUs with market performance conditions that will be evaluated relative to the performance of certain peers as defined in the award agreement. The number of units that ultimately vest (in April 2026 and July 2026) will be from 0 % to 150 %, depending on achievement of these performance criteria. Total grant date value of these PRSUs is approximately $ 5.7 million and was valued using the Monte Carlo method. Related share-based compensation expense recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 0.6 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively.
5. Restructuring and Other Charges, Net
Q3 2023 Plan
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, we committed to a plan to reorganize our business (the “Q3 2023 Plan”). The Q3 2023 Plan, consisting of voluntary and involuntary reductions-in-force, site closures, and other cost-savings initiatives, was commenced to adjust our cost structure and business activities to better align with weaker market demand and continued economic uncertainty in many of our end-markets and to take active measures to accelerate our margin recovery.
The reductions-in-force, which are subject to the laws and regulations of the countries in which the actions are planned, are expected to impact 451 positions. Over the life of the Q3 2023 Plan, we expect to incur restructuring charges of between $ 20.5 million and $ 25.5 million, primarily related to reductions-in-force. The majority of the actions under the Q3 2023 Plan are expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2024. We expect to settle these charges with cash on hand.

7. Income Taxes
The following table presents the provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
For the three months ended For the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022
Provision for income taxes $ 17,868 $ 46,421 $ 61,467 $ 74,029
The provision for income taxes consists of (1) current tax expense, which relates primarily to our profitable operations in tax jurisdictions with limited or no net operating loss carryforwards and withholding taxes related to management fees, royalties, and the repatriation of foreign earnings; and (2) deferred tax expense (or benefit), which represents adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to (a) book versus tax basis in intangible assets, (b) changes in net operating loss carryforwards, and (c) changes in withholding taxes on unremitted earnings. Other items impacting deferred tax expense include changes in tax rates and changes in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
We recorded a partial valuation allowance against certain interest carryforwards in the U.S. at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We are continually evaluating both the positive and negative evidence for this partial valuation allowance. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become

Table of Contents
available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of this deferred tax asset and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability and future utilization of this attribute that we are able to actually achieve.
8. Net Income per Share
Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated by dividing net income by the number of basic and diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share were as follows:
For the three months ended For the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022
Basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding 152,046 154,474 152,421 156,124
Dilutive effect of stock options 19 107 75 256
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted securities 314 362 426 475
Diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding 152,379 154,943 152,922 156,855
Certain potential ordinary shares were excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding because either they would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share or they related to equity awards that were contingently issuable for which the contingency had not been satisfied. These potential ordinary shares were as follows:
For the three months ended For the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022
Anti-dilutive shares excluded 1,815 1,917 1,274 1,116
Contingently issuable shares excluded 1,239 1,513 1,291 1,299

On May 3, 2023, we prepaid $ 196.8 million of outstanding principal on the Term Loan, representing the remaining balance on the Term Loan as of that date plus $ 0.5 million in interest.
Our debt consists of secured credit facilities and various tranches of senior unsecured notes. Refer to Note 14: Debt of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Annual Report for additional information regarding our existing indebtedness.
On August 22, 2023, certain of our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Sensata Technologies, Inc. ("STI"), Sensata Technologies Intermediate Holding B.V., and Sensata Technologies B.V.

The Specified Foreign Guarantors were released from their guaranty obligations with respect to STBV’s 5.625 % senior notes due 2024, 5.000 % senior notes due 2025, 4.000 % senior notes due 2029 and 5.875 % senior notes due 2030 and with respect to STI’s 4.375 % senior notes due 2030 and 3.750 % senior notes due 2031, in each case in accordance with the terms of the relevant indenture pursuant to which such senior notes were issued.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $ 746.1 million available under our $ 750.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), net of $ 3.9 million of obligations in respect of outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
We are regularly involved in a number of claims and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, based upon our experience and current information known to us, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
We evaluated our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of October 1, 2022 and determined that they were not impaired. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we exited the Marine Business, as discussed further in Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges, Net . We considered the exit of the Marine Business and determined that goodwill related to the Clean Energy Solutions reporting unit was not impaired as of the date of the exit. No other events or changes in circumstances occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that would have triggered the need for an additional impairment review of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features
We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if we default on our indebtedness and repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.
As of September 30, 2023, the termination value of outstanding derivatives in a liability position, excluding any adjustment for non-performance risk, was $ 9.6 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had no t posted any cash collateral related to these agreements. If we breach any of the default provisions on any of our indebtedness as described above, we could be required to settle our obligations under the derivative agreements at their termination values.
15. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
Elastic M2M
On February 11, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interests of Elastic M2M Inc. ("Elastic M2M") for an aggregate cash purchase price of $ 51.6 million, subject to certain post-closing items. In addition to the aggregate cash purchase price, the previous shareholders of Elastic M2M are entitled to up to $ 30.0 million of additional acquisition-related incentive compensation, which was pending the completion of certain technical milestones in fiscal year 2022 and achievement of financial targets in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. All technical milestones were completed in fiscal year 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had recognized $ 24.7 million of this acquisition-related incentive compensation. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an additional $ 1.8 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively, of this acquisition-related incentive compensation, which is recorded in restructuring and other charges, net.
Elastic M2M is an innovator of connected intelligence for operational assets across heavy-duty transport, warehouse, supply chain and logistics, industrial, light-duty passenger car, and a variety of other industry segments.

In connection with the allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we identified certain definite-lived intangible assets. The following table presents the acquired intangible assets, their estimated fair values, and weighted-average lives:
Acquisition Date Fair Value Weighted-Average Lives (years)
Acquired definite-lived intangible assets
Customer relationships $ 17,500 13
Completed technologies 10,200 10
Total definite-lived intangible assets acquired $ 27,700 12
The definite-lived intangible assets were valued using the income approach. We primarily used the relief-from-royalty method to value completed technologies, and we used the multi-period excess earnings method to value customer relationships. These valuation methods incorporate assumptions including expected discounted future net cash flows resulting from either the future estimated after-tax royalty payments avoided as a result of owning the completed technologies or the future earnings related to existing customer relationships.
Dynapower
On July 12, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of DP Acquisition Corp ("Dynapower"), a leader in power conversion systems including inverters, converters, and rectifiers for renewable energy generation, green hydrogen production, electric vehicle charging stations, and microgrid applications, as well as industrial and defense applications, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $ 577.5 million. Dynapower also provides aftermarket sales and service to maintain its equipment in the field.
Dynapower is a foundational addition to our Clean Energy Solutions strategy and complements our recent acquisitions of GIGAVAC, Lithium Balance, and Spear. We are integrating Dynapower into our Sensing Solutions reportable segment.
We recorded measurement period adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2023 that predominantly reflected an updated valuation of definite-lived intangible assets. Accordingly, definite-lived intangible assets in the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $ 57.2 million (primarily customer relationships). Along with other adjustments, including the associated deferred income tax liability on acquired intangibles, goodwill decreased $ 41.0 million as a result of these adjustments.
The allocation of the purchase price related to this acquisition was finalized in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed :

Divestiture - Qinex Business
On May 27, 2022, we executed an asset purchase agreement (the "APA") whereby we agreed to sell the Qinex Business to LTI Holdi ngs, Inc. ("LTI") in exchange for consideration of approximately $ 219.0 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Concurrent with the execution of the APA, the parties entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement ("CMA") and a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"), each for nominal consideration.
The CMA commenced at closing of the transaction ("Closing") and had a term of either six or nine months , depending on the manufacturing site. LTI also had the option of extending each contract for an additional three months . The period from Closing to the end of the CMA term (including extensions, if any) is referred to as the "Transition Period." The terms of the CMA required that we provide manufacturing and distribution services for the Transition Period. The TSA commenced at Closing and had a term that varied depending on the nature of the support services, ranging from one month to the entirety of the Transition Period. The terms of the TSA required that we provide various forms of commercial, operational, and back-office support to LTI. The Transition Period ended in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Closing occurred in July 2022, at which time assets of approximately $ 70 million (including allocated goodwill of $ 45 million) and liabilities of approximately $ 2 million transferred to LTI. Transferred assets and liabilities excluded inventories and accounts payable, which transferred to LTI at the end of the Transition Peri od. We received cash consideration of $ 198.8 million at Closing and recognized a pre-tax gain of $ 135.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. Cash consideration received at Closing excluded amounts held in escrow until various milestones were met through the Transition Period. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we received an escrow payment of $ 15.0 million, which included $ 10.0 million (presented in cash flows from operating activities) related to the transfer of inventory. Approximately $ 4.0 million remains in escrow as of September 30, 2023.
The Qinex Business manufactured semiconductor burn-in test sockets and thermal control solutions and was formed through the combination of Sensata’s semiconductor interconnect business with Wells-CTI in 2012. The Qinex Business was included in our Sensing Solutions segment (and Industrial Solutions reporting unit). We allocated goodwill to the Qinex Business based on its fair value relative to the total fair value of the Industrial Solutions reporting unit.
16. Segment Reporting
We present financial information for two reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. The Performance Sensing reportable segment consists of two operating segments, Automotive and HVOR, which meet the criteria for aggregation in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting . The Sensing Solutions reportable segment is also an operating segment. Effective April 1, 2023, we moved our material handling products from the HVOR operating segment (in the Performance Sensing reportable segment) to the Sensing Solutions operating segment to align with new management reporting. This product move resulted in a reallocation of $ 57.1 million of goodwill from the HVOR reporting unit to the Industrial Solutions reporting unit based on its fair value relative to the total fair value of the HVOR reporting unit .

Our operating segments are businesses that we manage as components of an enterprise, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, net, certain costs associated with our strategic megatrend initiatives, and certain corporate costs or credits not associated with the operations of the segment, including share-based compensation expense and a portion of depreciation expense associated with assets recognized in connection with acquisitions. Corporate and other expenses excluded from an operating (and reportable) segment’s performance are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas such as finance, information technology, legal, and human resources. We believe that segment operating income, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies of each of our operating and reportable segments are materially consistent with those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report.
The following table presents net revenue and segment operating income for our reportable segments and other operating results not allocated to our reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The amounts previously reported in the table below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been retrospectively recast to reflect the move of the material handling products between operating segments as described above. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have been retrospectively adjusted for this change.
