TE Connectivity announces first quarter results for fiscal year 2026 Exceeds guidance with 22% sales growth and over 30% EPS growth year over year
GALWAY, Ireland – Jan. 21, 2026 – TE Connectivity plc (NYSE: TEL) today reported results for the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 26, 2025.
First Quarter Highlights
| ● | Net sales were $4.7 billion, an increase of 22% on a reported basis year over year, driven by growth in both the Industrial and Transportation segments, and 15% organically. |
|---|---|
| ● | GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations was $2.53, an increase of 45% year over year. Adjusted EPS was $2.72, an increase of 33% year over year. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | GAAP operating margin was 20.6%, an increase of 260 basis points year over year. Adjusted operating margin expanded 180 basis points year over year to 22.2%, driven by strong operational performance across both segments. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Record orders of $5.1 billion, an increase of 28% year over year and 9% sequentially. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Cash flow from operating activities was $865 million and free cash flow was $608 million, with $615 million returned to shareholders. |
| --- | --- |
“Our teams delivered strongly against our strategy, resulting in first quarter earnings growth over 30% and sales growth of more than 20%, both of which were above our guidance and driven by growth in both segments,” said CEO Terrence Curtin. “We continue to benefit from a broadening of growth from our investments in data and power connectivity in key applications such as AI, energy grid hardening and next generation vehicles that are driving our auto content growth above market. Our positioning and team execution resulted in record quarterly orders of over $5 billion, setting up TE for another year of strong growth and margin expansion.
“We expect double-digit sales and adjusted earnings growth again in our second quarter as our teams continue to innovate with our customers to ensure next generation technologies are brought to life.”
Second Quarter FY26 Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the company expects sales of approximately $4.7 billion, an increase of 13% on a reported basis and 6% organically year over year. Adjusted EPS is expected to be approximately $2.65, up 20% year over year. GAAP EPS from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $2.26.
Beginning in fiscal 2026, the company is excluding amortization expense on intangible assets and, if applicable, the related tax effects from its calculation of certain non-GAAP measures.

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, amortization expense on intangible assets, 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, amortization expense on intangible assets, 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, amortization expense on intangible assets, 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 per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization expense on intangible assets, 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. 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 26, 2025, 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.

| We present non-GAAP performance and liquidity measures as<br>we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted<br>financial measures in addition to results in accordance with<br>accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).<br>These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental<br>information and should not be considered replacements for<br>results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP<br>financial measures internally for planning and forecasting<br>purposes and in its decision-making processes related to the<br>operations of our company. We believe these measures provide<br>meaningful information to us and investors because they<br>enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability<br>to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally,<br>we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same<br>financial measures that management uses in evaluating our<br>operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they<br>exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either<br>increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best<br>addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in<br>combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial<br>measures in order to better understand the amounts, character,<br>and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts.<br>These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to<br>similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.<br>The following provides additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures:<br>▪ Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) – represents net sales<br>growth (decline) (the most comparable GAAP financial<br>measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange<br>rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the<br>preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth<br>(Decline) is a useful measure of our performance because it<br>excludes items that are not completely under management’s<br>control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency<br>exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying<br>growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture<br>activity. This measure is a significant component in our<br>incentive compensation plans.<br>▪ Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating<br>Margin – represent operating income and operating margin,<br>respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial<br>measures) before special items including restructuring and<br>other charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization<br>expense on intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and<br>other income or charges, if any. We utilize these adjusted<br>measures in combination with operating income and<br>operating margin to assess segment level operating<br>performance and to provide insight to management in<br>evaluating segment operating plan execution and market<br>conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant<br>component in our incentive compensation plans.<br>▪ Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit and Adjusted<br>Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax (expense) benefit<br>and effective tax rate, respectively, (the most comparable<br>GAAP financial measures) after adjusting for the tax effect of<br>special items including restructuring and other charges,<br>acquisition-related charges, amortization expense on<br>intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, other income or<br>charges, and certain significant tax items, if any.<br>▪ Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations –<br>represents income from continuing operations (the most<br>comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items<br>including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related<br>charges, amortization expense on intangible assets,<br>impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain<br>significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax<br>effects<br>Non-GAAP Financial Measures<br>14 |

| ▪ Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings<br>per share from continuing operations (the most comparable<br>GAAP financial measure) before special items including<br>restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges,<br>amortization expense on intangible assets, impairment of<br>goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax<br>items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This<br>measure is a significant component in our incentive<br>compensation plans.<br>▪ Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin –<br>represent net income and net income as a percentage of net<br>sales, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial<br>measures) before interest expense, interest income, income<br>taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted for net<br>other income (expense), income (loss) from discontinued<br>operations, and special items including restructuring and<br>other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of<br>goodwill, and other income or charges, if any.<br>▪ Free Cash Flow (FCF) – is a useful measure of our ability to<br>generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by<br>operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial<br>measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant<br>cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to<br>identify. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful<br>information to investors as it provides insight into the primary<br>cash flow metric used by management to monitor and<br>evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. Free<br>Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating<br>activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the<br>cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital<br>expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded<br>from the GAAP financial measure because this activity is<br>driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating<br>activity. Certain special items, including cash paid (collected)<br>pursuant to collateral requirements related to cross-currency<br>swap contracts, are also excluded by management in<br>evaluating Free Cash Flow. Net capital expenditures consist<br>of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of<br>property, plant, and equipment. These items are subtracted<br>because they represent long-term commitments. In the<br>calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract certain cash items<br>that are ultimately within management’s and the Board of<br>Directors’ discretion to direct and may imply that there is less<br>or more cash available for our programs than the most<br>comparable GAAP financial measure indicates. It should not<br>be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available<br>for future discretionary expenditures, as our definition of Free<br>Cash Flow does not consider certain non-discretionary<br>expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may<br>have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary<br>dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions, that<br>are not considered in the calculation of Free Cash Flow.<br>Non-GAAP Financial Measures (cont.)<br>15 |
