Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity plc (“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 26, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 are to our fiscal years ending September 25, 2026 and ended September 26, 2025, respectively. ​ 2.

During the quarter ended December 26, 2025, we recorded restructuring charges of $ 4 million in connection with this program. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during the quarter ended December 26, 2025 by the end of fiscal 2028 and to incur additional charges of approximately $ 6 million related primarily to facility exit costs in the Industrial Solutions segment. Fiscal 2025 Actions During fiscal 2025, we initiated a restructuring program associated with footprint consolidation and cost structure improvements in both of our segments. In connection with this program, during the quarters ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024, we recorded restructuring credits of $ 3 million and charges of $ 30 million, respectively. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2025 by the end of fiscal 2032 and to incur additional charges of approximately $ 12 million related primarily to facility exit costs in the Industrial Solutions segment. Pre-Fiscal 2025 Actions During the quarters ended December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024, we recorded net restructuring charges of $ 9 million and $ 13 million, respectively, related to pre-fiscal 2025 actions. We expect that any additional charges related to restructuring actions commenced prior to fiscal 2025 will be insignificant.

Debt Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (“TEGSA”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, had no commercial paper outstanding at December 26, 2025 or September 26, 2025. Payment obligations under TEGSA’s senior notes, commercial paper, and five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by TEGSA’s parent, TE Connectivity Switzerland Ltd., and its parent, TE Connectivity plc. The fair value of our debt, based on indicative valuations, was approximately $ 5,738 million and $ 5,725 million at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, respectively. 8. Leases The components of lease cost were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ ​ ​ December 26, ​ December 27, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ ​ ​ Operating lease cost ​ $ 39 ​ $ 34 ​ Variable lease cost ​ ​ 12 ​ ​ 15 ​ Total lease cost ​ $ 51 ​ $ 49 ​ ​ Cash flow information, including significant non-cash transactions, related to leases was as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ ​ ​ December 26, ​ December 27, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ ​ ​ Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Payments for operating leases (1) ​ $ 40 ​ $ 35 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Right-of-use assets, including modifications of existing leases, obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities ​ ​ 54 ​ ​ 30 ​ (1) These payments are included in cash flows from operating activities, primarily in changes in accrued and other current liabilities . 9 Table of Contents TE CONNECTIVITY PLC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued) 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, trade compliance matters, 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. Trade Compliance Matters As part of our ongoing internal compliance activities, we have been investigating compliance with relevant country of origin for import matters and recently made a voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency regarding potential Section 301 unpaid duties, fees, and interest for certain imported products into the U.S. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of investigation into this matter. An unfavorable outcome may include unpaid duties, fees, interest, and penalties imposed in response to our disclosures. Based on currently available information, we have reserved an aggregate of $ 27 million related to this exposure. The investigation into this matter has yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigation and related duties, fees, interest, and potential 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 26, 2025, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $ 18 million to $ 44 million, and we accrued $ 23 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 26, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $ 245 million. Supply Chain Finance Program We have an agreement with a financial institution that allows participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations. The financial institution has separate arrangements with the suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment for invoices. We do not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the financial institution and suppliers. Our obligation to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement and we are not required to post collateral with the 10 Table of Contents TE CONNECTIVITY PLC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued) financial institution. The outstanding payment obligations under our supply chain finance program, which are included in accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $ 135 million and $ 161 million at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, respectively. 10. Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize cross-currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany and other cash transactions. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months. 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 $ 4,620 million and $ 4,212 million at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, 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 $ 5,686 million and $ 5,671 million at December 26, 2025 and September 26, 2025, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 1.9 % per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal 2030, 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. These cross-currency swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 26, ​ September 26, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 19 ​ $ 11 ​ Other assets ​ 62 ​ 23 ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 106 ​ ​ 97 ​ Other liabilities ​ ​ 188 ​ ​ 193 ​ ​ The impacts of our hedge of net investment programs were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ ​ ​ December 26, ​ December 27, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) on intercompany loans and external borrowings (1) ​ $ ( 27 ) ​ $ 142 ​ Gains on cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedges of net investment (1) ​ 28 ​ 342 ​ (1) Recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and offset by changes attributable to the translation of the net investment. 11 Table of Contents TE CONNECTIVITY PLC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued) Commodity Hedges As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts.
