1. Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. ("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, as amended. In management's opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results.

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 27, 2013.

        We have reclassified certain items on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year presentation.

We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced in fiscal 2013 by the end of fiscal 2015 and to incur total charges of approximately $346 million.

Pre-Fiscal 2013 Actions

        During fiscal 2012, we initiated a restructuring program to reduce headcount across all segments. Also, we initiated a restructuring program in the Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments associated with the acquisition of Deutsch Group SAS. We initiated a restructuring program during fiscal 2011 which was primarily associated with the acquisition of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. and related headcount reductions in the Network Solutions segment. Additionally, in fiscal 2011, we instituted reductions-in-force across all segments as a result of economic conditions. In connection with these actions, during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, we recorded net restructuring credits of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily related to employee severance and benefits previously accrued. We do not expect to incur significant additional charges related to restructuring actions commenced in fiscal 2012 and 2011. Cash spending related to pre-fiscal 2013 programs was $21 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014.

6. Debt

        During November 2013, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, redeemed all of its outstanding 5.95% senior notes due 2014, representing $300 million principal amount. We paid an immaterial premium in connection with the early redemption.

        During November 2013, TEGSA issued $325 million aggregate principal amount of 2.375% senior notes due December 17, 2018. The notes are TEGSA's unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and any future senior indebtedness of TEGSA and senior to any subordinated indebtedness that TEGSA may incur. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment on an unsecured senior basis by TE Connectivity Ltd.

        During the quarter ended March 28, 2014, we reclassified $250 million of 1.60% senior notes due 2015 from long-term debt to current maturities of long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        As of March 28, 2014, TEGSA had $375 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.26%. TEGSA had $350 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.28% at September 27, 2013.

7. Guarantees

Tax Sharing Agreement

        Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of our shares, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "separation").

        Upon separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, under which we share responsibility for certain of our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. We, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's U.S. income tax returns. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify us for 69% of certain liabilities settled in cash by us with respect to

unresolved pre-separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, we have made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled in cash by the companies relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. We are responsible for all of our own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition, Tyco International and Covidien are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. Our indemnification created under the Tax Sharing Agreement qualifies as a guarantee of a third party entity's debt under Accounting Standards Codification 460, Guarantees.

        At March 28, 2014, we had a liability representing the indemnifications made to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement of $219 million which is primarily reflected in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 27, 2013, the liability was $223 million and consisted of $185 million in accrued and other current liabilities and $38 million in other liabilities. The amount reflected in accrued and other current liabilities is our estimated cash obligation under the Tax Sharing Agreement to Tyco International and Covidien in connection with pre-separation tax matters that could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We have assessed the probable future cash payments to Tyco International and Covidien for income tax matters pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement and determined that $219 million is sufficient to satisfy these expected obligations.

Other Matters

        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 March 28, 2014, we had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $336 million.

        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        We generally record estimated product warranty costs when contract revenues are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for construction related contracts and at the time of sale for products. The estimation is primarily based on historical experience and actual warranty claims. Amounts accrued for warranty claims at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013 were $35 million and $38 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

        In the ordinary 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, 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. However, the proceedings discussed below in "Income Tax Matters" could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At March 28, 2014, we had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system was completed for and approved by the State of Florida in accordance with guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, we do not believe we have any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested our position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as we do not believe that any payment is probable at this time.

Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of our shares or the shares of Covidien to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, upon separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters of Tyco International. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        During fiscal 2007, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued Revenue Agent Reports that reflected the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the 1997 through 2000 period. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. The penalties were asserted against a prior subsidiary of Tyco International that was distributed to us in connection with the separation. Tyco International appealed certain of the proposed adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000, and Tyco International resolved all but one of the matters associated with the proposed tax adjustments, including reaching an agreement with the

IRS on the penalty adjustment in the amount of $21 million. In October 2012, the IRS issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue that remains in dispute as described below. As a result of these developments, in the first six months of fiscal 2013, we recognized an income tax benefit of $331 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves for the matters that were effectively settled, and other expense of $231 million, representing a reduction of associated indemnification receivables, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.

        The disputed issue involves the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originating during the period 1997 through 2000 did not constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and disallowed approximately $2.7 billion of related interest deductions recognized during the period on Tyco International's U.S. income tax returns. In addition, if the IRS is ultimately successful in asserting its claim, it is likely to disallow an additional $6.6 billion of interest deductions reflected on U.S. income tax returns in years subsequent to fiscal 2000. Tyco International contends that the intercompany financing qualified as debt for U.S. tax purposes and that the interest deductions reflected on the income tax returns are appropriate. The IRS and Tyco International were unable to resolve this matter through the IRS appeals process. On June 20, 2013, Tyco International advised us that it had received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS for certain former U.S. subsidiaries of Tyco International increasing taxable income by approximately $2.9 billion in connection with the audit of Tyco International's fiscal years 1997 through 2000. The Notices of Deficiency assert that Tyco International owes additional taxes totaling $778 million, associated penalties of $154 million, and withholding taxes of $105 million. In addition, Tyco International received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which Tyco International estimates an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million will be asserted. The amounts asserted by the IRS exclude any applicable deficiency interest, and do not reflect any impact to subsequent period tax liabilities in the event that the IRS were to prevail on some or all of its assertions. We understand that Tyco International strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS' proposed adjustments. Tyco International has advised us that it believes there are meritorious defenses for the tax filings in question and that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing U.S. Treasury regulations.

        Resolution of this matter in the U.S. Tax Court could take several years and no payments to the IRS with respect to these matters would be required until the matter is fully and finally resolved. In accordance with the terms of a tax sharing agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien would share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of any payments made in connection with these matters.

        If the IRS were to prevail on its assertions, our share of the assessed tax, deficiency interest, and applicable withholding taxes and penalties could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We have reviewed the Notices of Deficiency, the relevant facts surrounding the intercompany debt transactions, relevant tax regulations, and applicable case law, and we continue to believe that we are appropriately reserved for this matter.

        We received net reimbursements of $21 million and made payments of $67 million related to pre-separation tax matters during the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the

IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. For the undisputed issues for years 2001 through 2004, it is our understanding that Tyco International expects the IRS to issue general agreement Forms 870 during fiscal 2014. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007 in fiscal 2011, and it is our understanding that fieldwork for this audit period is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. Also, during fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2014. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make net cash payments of approximately $240 million in connection with pre-separation tax matters.

        At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, we have reflected $58 million and $15 million, respectively, of income tax liabilities related to the audits of Tyco International's and our income tax returns in accrued and other current liabilities as certain of these matters could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We believe that the amounts recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to the matters discussed above are appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and could result in a material impact to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

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 March 28, 2014, we concluded that it was probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of $14 million to $26 million. As of March 28, 2014, we concluded that the best estimate within this range is $15 million, of which $4 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $11 million is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We believe that any potential payment will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

        We use derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, investment, and commodity risks.

Foreign Exchange Risks

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize foreign currency forward and swap 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 associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months.

9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Interest Rate and Investment Risk Management

        We issue debt, as needed, to fund our operations and capital requirements. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure, we use interest rate swaps to convert a portion of fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. We use forward starting interest rate swaps and options to enter into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. We also utilize investment swaps to manage earnings exposure on certain non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of our 3.50% senior notes due 2022. The maturity dates of the interest rate swaps coincide with the maturity date of the notes. Under these contracts, we receive fixed amounts of interest applicable to the underlying notes and pay floating amounts based upon the three-month U.S. Dollar London interbank offered rate.

Hedges of Net Investment

        We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $2,498 million and $2,374 million at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Foreign exchange gains and losses were immaterial during the quarters and six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, and were recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, offsetting foreign exchange gains or losses attributable to the translation of the net investment.

Commodity Hedges

        As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production.

        At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, our commodity hedges had notional values of $296 million and $278 million, respectively. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the commodity hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months.

Derivative Instrument Summary

        The effects of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were immaterial for the quarters and six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013.

Fair Value Measurements

        Financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, which consist of derivative instruments and marketable securities, were immaterial at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013.

9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

        As of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, we did not have significant financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We also did not have significant non-financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value as of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013.

        Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. These instruments are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at book value. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, we believe book value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our debt based on indicative valuations was approximately $3,184 million and $3,180 million at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively.

11. Income Taxes

        We recorded tax provisions of $136 million and $60 million for the quarters ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 reflects income tax charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations, partially offset by charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns. In addition, the tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the extension of the U.S. research and development credit for fiscal 2012 enacted in January 2013 through the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

        We recorded a tax provision of $263 million and an income tax benefit of $185 million for the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax provision for the six months ended March 28, 2014 reflects income tax charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, as well as an income tax charge related to the impact of certain non-U.S. tax law changes and the associated increase in the valuation allowance for tax loss carryforwards. The tax benefit for the six months ended March 29, 2013 reflects a $331 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. In addition, the tax benefit for the six months ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations, partially offset by charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns.

        We record accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of March 28, 2014, we had recorded $1,102 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $1,078 million was recorded in income taxes and $24 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities. During the six months ended March 28, 2014, we recognized $58 million of expense related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 27, 2013, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $1,018 million, of which $1,015 million was recorded in income taxes and $3 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        For tax years 1997 through 2000, Tyco International has resolved all matters, excluding one disputed issue related to the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. For the undisputed issues for years 2001 through 2004, it is our understanding that Tyco International expects the IRS to issue general agreement Forms 870 during fiscal 2014. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007 in fiscal 2011, and it is our understanding that fieldwork for this audit period is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. Also, during fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2014. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the status of IRS examinations.

        Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that up to approximately $225 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        Other than the disputed issue discussed in Note 8, we are not aware of any other matters that could result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 28, 2014.

12. Other Income (Expense), Net

        We recorded net other income of $16 million and $9 million during the quarters ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, primarily consisting of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. See Note 7 for further information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        We recorded net other income of $48 million and net other expense of $217 million during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, primarily pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. The net other income in the six months ended March 28, 2014 included $18 million of income related to our share of a settlement agreement entered into by Tyco International with a former subsidiary, CIT Group Inc., which arose from a pre-separation claim for which we were entitled to 31% once resolved. The net other expense in the six months ended March 29, 2013 included $231 million related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. See Note 8 for additional information.

13. Earnings Per Share

        The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

	For the Quarters Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	March 28, 2014		March 29, 2013		March 28, 2014		March 29, 2013

        For the quarter and six months ended March 29, 2013, there were five million and six million share options, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the instruments' underlying exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of our common shares and inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive share options for the quarter and six months ended March 28, 2014.

        In March 2014, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 9,456,526 shares purchased under our share repurchase program during the period from December 29, 2012 to December 27, 2013. The capital reduction by cancellation of these shares is subject to a notice period and filing with the commercial register in Switzerland and is not yet reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

        We paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to shareholders out of contributed surplus in each of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014.

        In March 2014, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of CHF 1.04 (equivalent to $1.16) per share out of contributed surplus, payable in four equal quarterly installments of $0.29 per share beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 through the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

        Upon approval by the shareholders of a dividend payment or cash distribution in the form of a capital reduction, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus or common shares. At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, the unpaid portion of the dividends recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $475 million and $206 million, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

        In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our board of directors authorized an increase of $1 billion in the share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 7 million of our common shares for $390 million and approximately 11 million of our common shares for $409 million under our share repurchase authorization during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. At March 28, 2014, we had $1,088 million of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

15. Share Plans

        Total share-based compensation expense, which was primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $21 million and $19 million during the quarters ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, and $43 million and $40 million during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. As of March 28, 2014, there was $173 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we granted 1.5 million share options, 1.0 million restricted share awards, and 0.2 million performance share awards as part of our annual incentive plan grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair values for share options, restricted share awards, and performance share awards were $16.75, $51.61, and $51.61, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Assumptions

        Prior to fiscal 2014, we calculated the grant-date fair value of our share option awards utilizing the historical share volatility of a composite of our peers and implied volatility derived from exchange-traded options on that same composite of peers. Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of now having historical share price information for a period of time equal to our expected option life assumption, we began to employ our historical share volatility when calculating the grant-date fair value of our share option grants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Currently, we do not have exchange-traded options of sufficient duration to employ an implied volatility assumption in the calculation and therefore rely solely on the historical volatility calculation. The change in methodology did not have a significant impact on share-based compensation expense during the six months ended March 28, 2014.

        The weighted-average assumptions we used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for the options granted as part of our annual incentive plan grant were as follows:

Expected share price volatility		39	%
Risk free interest rate		1.8	%
Expected annual dividend per share	$	1.00
Expected life of options (in years)		6.0

16. Segment Data

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the heading "Forward-Looking Information" and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors."

        Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") Dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").

        Organic net sales growth and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures which are discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors because they reflect the financial measures that management uses in evaluating the underlying results of our operations. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including our reasons for including the measures and material limitations with respect to the usefulness of the measures.

Overview

        TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") is a world leader in connectivity. We design and manufacture products to connect power, data, and signal in a broad array of industries including automotive, energy, industrial, broadband communications, consumer devices, healthcare, and aerospace and defense. We help our customers solve the need for more energy efficiency, always-on communications, and ever-increasing productivity.

        During fiscal 2014, we realigned certain businesses, principally the Relay Products business, within our segment reporting structure to better align our product portfolio. The Relay Products business, which was previously included in the Consumer Solutions segment, has been moved to the Industrial Solutions segment. We continue to operate through four reporting segments: Transportation Solutions, Industrial Solutions, Network Solutions, and Consumer Solutions. See Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our segments. Prior period segment results have been restated to conform to the current segment reporting structure.

        Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by worldwide economic conditions. Our sales are dependent on certain industry end markets that are impacted by consumer as well as industrial and infrastructure spending, and our operating results can be affected by changes in demand in those markets.

        Overall, our net sales increased 5.1% and 5.6% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2013. Increased net sales in the Transportation Solutions segment and, to a lesser degree, the Industrial Solutions segment were partially offset by declines in the Network Solutions and Consumer Solutions segments. On an organic basis, net sales increased 6.1% and 6.6% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2013. In the Transportation Solutions segment, our sales in the automotive end market increased 13.3% and 13.6% on an organic basis in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, with sales increases in all regions. In the Industrial Solutions segment, our organic net sales increased 4.4% and 5.3% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, due primarily to growth in the industrial equipment and

30

aerospace, defense, oil, and gas end markets, driven by the Asia–Pacific region. On an organic basis, our net sales decreased 1.3% and 0.5% in the Network Solutions segment in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, as growth in the telecom networks and enterprise networks end markets was more than offset by declines in the subsea communications and data communications end markets. In the Consumer Solutions segment, our organic net sales decreased 2.9% and 1.1% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, as declines in the consumer devices end market were partially offset by increases in the appliances end market.

Outlook

        In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we expect net sales to be between $3.54 billion and $3.64 billion. This primarily reflects sales increases of approximately 8% to 10% in the Transportation Solutions segment and, to a lesser degree, sales increases in the Industrial Solutions segment, partially offset by sales decreases in the Network Solutions segment relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. In the Consumer Solutions segment, we expect our sales to be up slightly as compared to third quarter fiscal 2013 levels. In the Transportation Solutions segment, we expect our sales growth to outpace anticipated growth in global automotive production of approximately 2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. In the Industrial Solutions segment, we expect our sales to increase approximately 10% to 12% in the aerospace, defense, oil, and gas end market and to increase, to a lesser degree, in the industrial equipment end market, and expect our sales in the energy end market to be consistent with third quarter fiscal 2013 levels. In the Consumer Solutions segment, we expect an increase in our sales in the appliances end market to be partially offset by a slight decline in our sales in the consumer devices end market in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. In the Network Solutions segment, we expect our sales decrease to be primarily driven by declines in our sales in the subsea communications end market. We expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.93 to $0.97 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

        For fiscal 2014, we expect net sales to be between $13.8 billion and $14.1 billion, reflecting expected sales increases of approximately 10% to 12% in the Transportation Solutions segment and, to a lesser degree, sales increases in the Industrial Solutions segment, partially offset by sales decreases in the Network Solutions segment from fiscal 2013 levels. We expect our sales in the Consumer Solutions segment to be consistent with fiscal 2013 levels. In the Transportation Solutions segment, we expect our sales growth to outpace anticipated growth in global automotive production of approximately 5% from fiscal 2013 levels. In the Industrial Solutions segment, we expect our sales to increase in the aerospace, defense, oil, and gas and industrial equipment end markets in fiscal 2014, and expect our sales in the energy end market to be consistent with fiscal 2013 levels. In the Network Solutions segment, we expect our sales decrease in the subsea communications end market and, to a lesser degree, in the data communications end market to be partially offset by a sales increase in the telecom networks end market in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013. We expect our net sales in the subsea communications end market to be approximately $300 million in fiscal 2014. In the Consumer Solutions segment, we expect our sales decline in the consumer devices end market to be offset by an increase in our sales in the appliances end market in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013. We expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.62 to $3.74 per share in fiscal 2014.

        The above outlook is based on foreign exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.

        We are monitoring the current macroeconomic environment and its potential effects on our customers and the end markets we serve. Additionally, we continue to closely manage our costs in line with economic conditions. We also are managing our capital resources and monitoring capital availability to ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund future capital needs. (See further discussion in "Liquidity and Capital Resources.")

Acquisition

        In April 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the SEACON Group, a leading provider of underwater connector technology and systems, for $490 million in cash. The transaction, which is expected to close during fiscal 2014, is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

Restructuring

        We are committed to continuous productivity improvements and consistently evaluate opportunities to simplify our global manufacturing footprint, migrate facilities to lower-cost regions, reduce fixed costs, and eliminate excess capacity. These initiatives are designed to help us maintain our competitiveness in the industry, improve our operating leverage, and position us for growth in the years ahead. In connection with these initiatives and in response to market conditions, we incurred net restructuring charges of $28 million during the first six months of fiscal 2014 and expect to incur net restructuring charges of approximately $50 million during fiscal 2014. Cash spending related to restructuring was $87 million during the first six months of fiscal 2014, and we expect total spending, which will be funded with cash from operations, to be approximately $190 million in fiscal 2014. Total annualized cost savings related to all actions commenced in fiscal 2014 are estimated to be approximately $30 million and are expected to be realized by the end of fiscal 2016. Annualized cost savings related to actions commenced in fiscal 2013 are estimated to be approximately $115 million and are expected to be realized by the end of fiscal 2015. Cost savings will be reflected primarily in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations

        Key business factors that influenced our results of operations for the periods discussed in this report include:

•

Raw material prices.  We expect to purchase approximately 177 million pounds of copper, 131,000 troy ounces of gold, and 2.5 million troy ounces of silver in fiscal 2014. Prices continue to fluctuate. The following table sets forth the average copper, gold, and silver prices incurred, inclusive of the impact of commodity hedges.

		For the Quarters Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	Measure	March 28, 2014		March 29, 2013		March 28, 2014		March 29, 2013
Copper	Lb.	$	3.31	$	3.58	$	3.35	$	3.58

Silver	Troy oz.	$	24.14	$	30.83	$	24.72	$	31.23

•

Foreign exchange.  Approximately 56% of our net sales are invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our results of operations are influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. Dollar, compared to other currencies, will directly affect our reported results as we translate those currencies into U.S. Dollars at the end of each fiscal period.

Consolidated Operations

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased $166 million, or 5.1%, to $3,431 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $3,265 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. On an organic basis, net sales increased $196 million, or 6.1%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased net sales in the Transportation Solutions segment and, to a lesser degree, the Industrial Solutions segment, partially offset by decreased net sales in the Consumer

32

Solutions and Network Solutions segments. Price erosion adversely affected organic sales by $62 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

        In the first six months of fiscal 2014, net sales increased $358 million, or 5.6%, to $6,757 million from $6,399 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. On an organic basis, net sales increased $422 million, or 6.6%, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 as a result of net sales increases in the Transportation Solutions segment and, to a lesser degree, the Industrial Solutions segment. Price erosion adversely affected organic sales by $123 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

        Gross Margin.    In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin was $1,173 million, reflecting a $121 million increase from gross margin of $1,052 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first six months of fiscal 2014, gross margin increased $249 million to $2,290 million as compared to $2,041 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. The increases in gross margin resulted primarily from higher volume, improved manufacturing productivity and, to a lesser degree, lower materials costs, partially offset by price erosion. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 34.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from 32.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first six months of fiscal 2014, gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 33.9% from 31.9% in the same period of fiscal 2013.

        Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $33 million to $471 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $438 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $72 million to $938 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to $866 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. The increases in selling, general, and administrative expenses resulted primarily from increased selling expenses to support higher sales levels and increased incentive compensation costs, partially offset by savings attributable to restructuring actions. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from 13.4% in the same period of fiscal 2013. In the first six months of fiscal 2014, selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.9% from 13.5% in the same period of fiscal 2013.

        Restructuring and Other Charges, Net.    Net restructuring and other charges were $21 million and $81 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net restructuring and other charges were $28 million and $173 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. During fiscal 2014, we initiated a restructuring program primarily associated with headcount reductions in the Network Solutions segment. During fiscal 2013, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions and manufacturing site closures impacting all segments. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding net restructuring and other charges.

        Operating Income.    In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, operating income was $510 million as compared to $359 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 included $21 million of net restructuring and other charges and $1 million of acquisition and integration costs. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 included $81 million of net restructuring and other charges and $3 million of acquisition and integration costs.

        Operating income was $989 million and $652 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Results for the first six months of fiscal 2014 included $28 million of net restructuring and other charges and $1 million of acquisition and integration costs. Results for the first

34

six months of fiscal 2013 included $173 million of net restructuring and other charges and $8 million of acquisition and integration costs.

        See further discussion of operating income below under "Results of Operations by Segment."

Non-Operating Items

        Other Income (Expense), Net.    We recorded net other income of $16 million and $9 million during the quarters ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, primarily consisting of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International") and Covidien plc ("Covidien"). See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        We recorded net other income of $48 million and net other expense of $217 million during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, primarily pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. The net other income in the six months ended March 28, 2014 included $18 million of income related to our share of a settlement agreement entered into by Tyco International with a former subsidiary, CIT Group Inc., which arose from a pre-separation claim for which we were entitled to 31% once resolved. The net other expense in the six months ended March 29, 2013 included $231 million related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

        Income Taxes.    We recorded tax provisions of $136 million and $60 million for the quarters ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 reflects income tax charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations, partially offset by charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns. In addition, the tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the extension of the U.S. research and development credit for fiscal 2012 enacted in January 2013 through the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

        We recorded a tax provision of $263 million and an income tax benefit of $185 million for the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax provision for the six months ended March 28, 2014 reflects income tax charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, as well as an income tax charge related to the impact of certain non-U.S. tax law changes and the associated increase in the valuation allowance for tax loss carryforwards. The tax benefit for the six months ended March 29, 2013 reflects a $331 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. In addition, the tax benefit for the six months ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations, partially offset by charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns.

        Net sales in the Transportation Solutions segment increased $186 million, or 13.4%, to $1,571 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $1,385 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Organic net sales increased $184 million, or 13.3%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

        In the automotive end market, which is the Transportation Solutions segment's primary industry end market, our organic net sales increased 13.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase resulted from growth of 17.6% in the Asia–Pacific region, 11.9% in the EMEA region, and 9.7% in the Americas region. In the Asia–Pacific region, growth was driven by increased demand in China, partially offset by declines in certain southeastern Asia–Pacific areas. In the EMEA region, growth resulted primarily from increased exports to other regions and, to a lesser degree, increased local demand. Growth in the Americas region was driven by strong consumer demand in North America and share gains. In the commercial vehicle market, our organic net sales increase was due to stronger market conditions and the acceleration of purchases in advance of upcoming emission standard changes in the EMEA region and China truck markets.

        In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, operating income in the Transportation Solutions segment increased $106 million to $347 million from $241 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

        In the automotive end market, our organic net sales increased 13.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013. The increase was due to growth of 17.2% in the Asia–Pacific region, 12.2% in the Americas region, and 11.4% in the EMEA region. The Asia–Pacific region growth was driven by increased demand in China, partially offset by declines in certain southeastern Asia–Pacific areas. Growth in the Americas region was driven by strong consumer demand in North America and share gains. In the EMEA region, growth resulted primarily from increased exports to other regions and, to a lesser degree, increased local demand. In the commercial vehicle market, our organic net sales increase was due to stronger market conditions and the

Quarter Ended March 28, 2014 Compared to Quarter Ended March 29, 2013

        Net sales in the Industrial Solutions segment increased $31 million, or 4.1%, to $789 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $758 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Organic net sales

37

increased $33 million, or 4.4%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

        In the industrial equipment end market, our organic net sales increased 7.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to market recovery, particularly in the Asia–Pacific region. In the aerospace, defense, oil, and gas end market, our organic net sales increased 4.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The increase resulted from continued strength in the commercial aviation market and growth in the oil and gas market, partially offset by a slowdown in the defense market. In the energy end market, our organic net sales were flat in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as growth in the Americas and Asia–Pacific regions was offset by declines in the EMEA region.

        In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, operating income in the Industrial Solutions segment increased $27 million to $106 million from $79 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Segment results for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 included $5 million of net restructuring and other charges and $1 million of acquisition and integration costs. Segment results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 included $21 million of net restructuring and other charges and $2 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Deutsch. Excluding these items, operating income increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 over the same period of fiscal 2013 due primarily to higher volume and improved manufacturing productivity, partially offset by price erosion.

Six Months Ended March 28, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended March 29, 2013

        In the first six months of fiscal 2014, net sales in our Industrial Solutions segment increased $74 million, or 5.0%, to $1,552 million from $1,478 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. Organic net sales increased $78 million, or 5.3%, during the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013.

        In the industrial equipment end market, our organic net sales increased 8.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 as a result of market recovery, particularly in the Asia–Pacific region and, to a lesser degree, the EMEA region. In the aerospace, defense, oil, and gas end market, our organic net sales increased 4.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 from the first six months of fiscal 2013. The increase was attributable to continued strength in the commercial aviation market and growth in the oil and gas market, partially offset by a slowdown in the defense market. In the energy end market, our organic net sales increased 1.9% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 from the same period of fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of growth in the Asia–Pacific and Americas regions.

        Operating income in the Industrial Solutions segment increased $54 million to $205 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 from $151 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. Segment results for the first six months of fiscal 2014 included $6 million of net restructuring and other charges and $1 million of acquisition and integration costs. Segment results for the first six months of fiscal 2013 included $33 million of net restructuring and other charges and $4 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Deutsch. Excluding these items, operating income increased in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of higher volume, improved manufacturing productivity, and lower material costs, partially offset by price erosion.

Quarter Ended March 28, 2014 Compared to Quarter Ended March 29, 2013

        In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $14 million, or 3.5%, to $383 million from $397 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Organic net sales decreased $12 million, or 2.9%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

        In the consumer devices end market, our organic net sales decreased 7.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as a result of significant declines in the personal computer and feature phone markets, partially offset by increased demand and new product launches in the tablet computer and smartphone markets. In the appliances end market, our organic net sales increased 4.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The increase was attributable to increased demand in the Asia–Pacific region, partially due to share gains in China.

        Operating income in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $14 million to $34 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $20 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Segment results included $1 million and $16 million of net restructuring and other charges in the second quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding these items, operating income was flat in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The impact of price erosion was offset by improved manufacturing productivity and lower material costs.

Six Months Ended March 28, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended March 29, 2013

        Net sales in our Consumer Solutions segment decreased $20 million, or 2.5%, to $793 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 from $813 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. Organic net

41

sales decreased $9 million, or 1.1%, during the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013.

        In the consumer devices end market, our organic net sales decreased 5.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 due to continued declines in the personal computer and feature phone markets, partially offset by increased demand and new product launches in the smartphone and tablet computer markets. In the appliance end market, our organic net sales increased 6.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013 due to increased demand in the Asia–Pacific region and, to a lesser degree, the Americas region.

        In the first six months of fiscal 2014, operating income in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $59 million to $72 million as compared to $13 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. Segment results included net restructuring and other charges of $1 million and $62 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding these items, operating income decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of price erosion, largely offset by improved manufacturing productivity and lower material costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The following table summarizes our cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	For the Six Months Ended
	March 28, 2014			March 29, 2013
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	834		$	837
Net cash used in investing activities		(298	)		(232	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(500	)		(1,120	)
Effect of currency translation on cash		(10	)		(1	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	26		$	(516	)

        Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our ability to access the capital markets, money markets, or other sources of funding, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements. We believe that cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, these other sources of potential funding will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs for the foreseeable future. We may use excess cash to reduce our outstanding debt, including through the possible repurchase of our debt in accordance with applicable law, to purchase a portion of our common shares pursuant to our authorized share repurchase program, to pay distributions or dividends on our common shares, or to acquire strategic businesses or product lines. The cost or availability of future funding may be impacted by financial market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial markets and respond as necessary to changing conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $840 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $839 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. Higher income from continuing operations and lower cash tax payments in the first six months of fiscal 2014 were offset by higher inventories and accounts receivable levels.

        The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013 was $124 million and $173 million, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, we received net reimbursements of $21 million and made payments of $67 million, respectively,

42

related to pre-separation tax matters. We expect to make net cash payments related to pre-separation tax matters of approximately $240 million during the next twelve months. These amounts include payments in which we are the primary obligor to the taxing authorities and for which we expect a portion to be reimbursed by Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement as well as indemnification payments to Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement for tax matters where they are the primary obligor to the taxing authorities. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to pre-separation tax matters.

        In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we use free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. Free cash flow was $539 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to $657 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily driven by higher capital expenditures and changes in Tax Sharing Agreement activity with Tyco International and Covidien.

        The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net cash provided by continuing operating activities, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow.

	For the Six Months Ended
	March 28, 2014			March 29, 2013
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	840		$	839
Capital expenditures		(301	)		(253	)
Proceeds from sale of property, plant, and equipment		21			4
Payments (receipts) related to pre-separation U.S. tax matters, net		(21	)		67
Free cash flow	$	539		$	657

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        Capital spending increased $48 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 to $301 million as compared to $253 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. We expect fiscal 2014 capital spending levels to be approximately 4% to 5% of net sales. We believe our capital funding levels are adequate to support new programs, and we continue to invest in our manufacturing infrastructure to further enhance productivity and manufacturing capabilities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities and Capitalization

        Total debt at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013 was $2,995 million and $3,014 million, respectively. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.

        During November 2013, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, redeemed all of its outstanding 5.95% senior notes due 2014, representing $300 million principal amount. We paid an immaterial premium in connection with the early redemption.

        During November 2013, TEGSA issued $325 million aggregate principal amount of 2.375% senior notes due December 17, 2018. The notes are TEGSA's unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and any future senior indebtedness of TEGSA and senior to any subordinated indebtedness that TEGSA may incur. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment on an unsecured senior basis by TE Connectivity Ltd.

43

        TEGSA has a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") with total commitments of $1,500 million. This facility expires in August 2018. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013.

        The Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant providing that if, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Facility) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeds 3.75 to 1.0, an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) is triggered. The Credit Facility and our other debt agreements contain other customary covenants. None of our covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations. As of March 28, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and believe that we will continue to be in compliance with our existing covenants for the foreseeable future.

        In addition to the Credit Facility, TEGSA is the borrower under the outstanding senior notes and commercial paper. TEGSA's payment obligations under its senior notes, commercial paper, and Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, TE Connectivity Ltd. Neither TE Connectivity Ltd. nor any of its subsidiaries provides a guarantee as to payment obligations under the 3.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2015 issued by ADC Telecommunications, Inc. prior to its acquisition in December 2010.

        Payments of common share dividends and cash distributions to shareholders were $205 million and $177 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. We paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to shareholders out of contributed surplus in each of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014.

        In March 2014, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of CHF 1.04 (equivalent to $1.16) per share out of contributed surplus, payable in four equal quarterly installments of $0.29 per share beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 through the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

        In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our board of directors authorized an increase of $1 billion in the share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 7 million of our common shares for $390 million and approximately 11 million of our common shares for $409 million under our share repurchase authorization during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. At March 28, 2014, we had $1,088 million of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

        In the ordinary 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, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Management believes that these legal proceedings and claims likely will be resolved over an extended period of time. 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. However, the proceedings discussed below in "Income Tax Matters" could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At March 28, 2014, we had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system was

44

completed for and approved by the State of Florida in accordance with guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, we do not believe we have any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested our position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as we do not believe that any payment is probable at this time.

Income Tax Matters

        Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International. On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of our shares, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "separation").

        In connection with our separation from Tyco International in 2007, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of our shares or the shares of Covidien to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, upon separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters of Tyco International. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        During fiscal 2007, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued Revenue Agent Reports that reflected the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the 1997 through 2000 period. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. The penalties were asserted against a prior subsidiary of Tyco International that was distributed to us in connection with the separation. Tyco International appealed certain of the proposed adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000, and Tyco International resolved all but one of the matters associated with the proposed tax adjustments, including reaching an agreement with the IRS on the penalty adjustment in the amount of $21 million. In October 2012, the IRS issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue that remains in dispute as described below. As a result of these developments, in the first six months of fiscal 2013, we recognized an income tax benefit of $331 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves for the matters that were effectively settled, and other expense of $231 million, representing a reduction of associated indemnification receivables, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.

        The disputed issue involves the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originating during the period 1997 through 2000 did not constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and disallowed approximately $2.7 billion of related interest deductions recognized during the period on Tyco International's U.S. income tax returns. In addition, if the IRS is ultimately successful in asserting its claim, it is likely to disallow an additional $6.6 billion of interest deductions reflected on U.S. income tax returns in years subsequent to fiscal 2000. Tyco International contends that the intercompany financing qualified as debt

45

for U.S. tax purposes and that the interest deductions reflected on the income tax returns are appropriate. The IRS and Tyco International were unable to resolve this matter through the IRS appeals process. On June 20, 2013, Tyco International advised us that it had received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS for certain former U.S. subsidiaries of Tyco International increasing taxable income by approximately $2.9 billion in connection with the audit of Tyco International's fiscal years 1997 through 2000. The Notices of Deficiency assert that Tyco International owes additional taxes totaling $778 million, associated penalties of $154 million, and withholding taxes of $105 million. In addition, Tyco International received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which Tyco International estimates an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million will be asserted. The amounts asserted by the IRS exclude any applicable deficiency interest, and do not reflect any impact to subsequent period tax liabilities in the event that the IRS were to prevail on some or all of its assertions. We understand that Tyco International strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS' proposed adjustments. Tyco International has advised us that it believes there are meritorious defenses for the tax filings in question and that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing U.S. Treasury regulations.

        Resolution of this matter in the U.S. Tax Court could take several years and no payments to the IRS with respect to these matters would be required until the matter is fully and finally resolved. In accordance with the terms of a tax sharing agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien would share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of any payments made in connection with these matters.

        If the IRS were to prevail on its assertions, our share of the assessed tax, deficiency interest, and applicable withholding taxes and penalties could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We have reviewed the Notices of Deficiency, the relevant facts surrounding the intercompany debt transactions, relevant tax regulations, and applicable case law, and we continue to believe that we are appropriately reserved for this matter.

        We received net reimbursements of $21 million and made payments of $67 million related to pre-separation tax matters during the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. For the undisputed issues for years 2001 through 2004, it is our understanding that Tyco International expects the IRS to issue general agreement Forms 870 during fiscal 2014. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007 in fiscal 2011, and it is our understanding that fieldwork for this audit period is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. Also, during fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2014. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make net cash payments of approximately $240 million in connection with pre-separation tax matters.

        At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, we have reflected $58 million and $15 million, respectively, of income tax liabilities related to the audits of Tyco International's and our income tax returns in accrued and other current liabilities as certain of these matters could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We believe that the amounts recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to the matters discussed above are appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and could result in a material impact to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        In certain instances, we have guaranteed the performance of third parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with

46

end dates ranging from fiscal 2014 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance, and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        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 March 28, 2014, we had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $336 million.

        We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.

        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, upon separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters of Tyco International. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify us for 69% of certain liabilities settled in cash by us with respect to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, we have made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled in cash by the companies relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. These arrangements have been valued upon our separation from Tyco International in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 460, Guarantees, and, accordingly, liabilities amounting to $219 million were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 28, 2014. See Notes 7 and 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.

        Our accounting policies for revenue recognition, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, pension and postretirement benefits, acquisitions, and contingent liabilities are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management. During the six months ended March 28, 2014, there were no significant changes to these policies or to the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in these policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Organic Net Sales Growth

        Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure. The difference between reported net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP measure) and organic net sales growth (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact from foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions, and divestitures. Organic net sales growth is a useful measure of the underlying results and trends in our business. 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.

        We believe organic net sales growth provides useful information to investors because it reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business. Furthermore, it provides investors with a view of our operations from management's perspective. We use organic net sales growth to monitor and evaluate performance, as it is an important measure of the underlying results of our operations. Management uses organic net sales growth together with GAAP measures such as net sales growth and operating income in its decision making processes related to the operations of our reporting segments and our overall company. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating operations. The discussion and analysis of organic net sales growth in "Results of Operations" above utilizes organic net sales growth as management does internally. Because organic net sales growth calculations may vary among other companies, organic net sales growth amounts presented above may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. The primary limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on our net sales. This limitation is best addressed by evaluating organic net sales growth in combination with our GAAP net sales. The tables presented in "Results of Operations" above provide reconciliations of organic net sales growth to net sales growth calculated under GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

        Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The difference between net cash provided by continuing operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) and free cash flow (the non-GAAP measure) consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. Free cash flow is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. It also is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. 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 continuing operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, minus net capital expenditures. 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. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including net payments related to pre-separation tax matters, also are considered by management in evaluating free cash flow. We believe investors should also consider these items in evaluating our free cash flow.

        Free cash flow as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The primary limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on our GAAP cash flow. Also, it subtracts 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 measure indicates. This limitation is best addressed

48

by using free cash flow in combination with the GAAP cash flow results. 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.

        The tables presented in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above provide reconciliations of free cash flow to cash flows from continuing operating activities calculated under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Information

        Certain statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include, among others, the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, acquisitions, the effects of competition, and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "may," "should," or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

        Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We do not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements after we file this report except as required by law.

        The following and other risks, which are described in greater detail in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013, could also cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements:

•

conditions in the global or regional economies and global capital markets, and cyclical industry conditions;

•

conditions affecting demand for products in the industries we serve, particularly the automotive industry;

•

competition and pricing pressure;

•

market acceptance of new product introductions and product innovations and product life cycles;

•

raw material availability, quality, and cost;

•

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

•

financial condition and consolidation of customers and vendors;

•

reliance on third-party suppliers;

•

risks associated with current and future acquisitions and divestitures;

•

global risks of business interruptions such as natural disasters and political, economic, and military instability;

•

risks related to compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations;

•

our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;

49

•

risks of litigation;

•

our ability to operate within the limitations imposed by our debt instruments;

•

risks relating to our separation on June 29, 2007 from Tyco International Ltd.;

•

the possible effects on us of various U.S. and non-U.S. legislative proposals and other initiatives that, if adopted, could materially increase our worldwide corporate effective tax rate and negatively impact our U.S. government contracts business;

•

various risks associated with being a Swiss corporation;

•

the impact of fluctuations in the market price of our shares; and

•

the impact of certain provisions of our articles of association on unsolicited takeover proposals.

        There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk during the first six months of fiscal 2014. For further discussion of our exposures to market risk, refer to "Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of March 28, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 28, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        During the quarter ended March 28, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

• Pre-Fiscal 2013 Actions

        During fiscal 2012, we initiated a restructuring program to reduce headcount across all segments. Also, we initiated a restructuring program in the Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments associated with the acquisition of Deutsch Group SAS. We initiated a restructuring program during fiscal 2011 which was primarily associated with the acquisition of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. and related headcount reductions in the Network Solutions segment. Additionally, in fiscal 2011, we instituted reductions-in-force across all segments as a result of economic conditions. In connection with these actions, during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, we recorded net restructuring credits of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily related to employee severance and benefits previously accrued. We do not expect to incur significant additional charges related to restructuring actions commenced in fiscal 2012 and 2011. Cash spending related to pre-fiscal 2013 programs was $21 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014.

1. Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. ("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, as amended. 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 27, 2013.

        We have reclassified certain items on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year presentation.

        Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 are to our fiscal years ending September 26, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively.

11. Income Taxes

        We recorded tax provisions of $136 million and $60 million for the quarters ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 reflects income tax charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, partially offset by tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations, partially offset by charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns. In addition, the tax provision for the quarter ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the extension of the U.S. research and development credit for fiscal 2012 enacted in January 2013 through the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

        We recorded a tax provision of $263 million and an income tax benefit of $185 million for the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax provision for the six months ended March 28, 2014 reflects income tax charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns, as well as an income tax charge related to the impact of certain non-U.S. tax law changes and the associated increase in the valuation allowance for tax loss carryforwards. The tax benefit for the six months ended March 29, 2013 reflects a $331 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000. In addition, the tax benefit for the six months ended March 29, 2013 reflects tax benefits recognized in connection with the lapse of statutes of limitations for examinations of prior year income tax returns in certain non-U.S. locations, partially offset by charges related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns.

        We record accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of March 28, 2014, we had recorded $1,102 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $1,078 million was recorded in income taxes and $24 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities. During the six months ended March 28, 2014, we recognized $58 million of expense related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 27, 2013, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $1,018 million, of which $1,015 million was recorded in income taxes and $3 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        For tax years 1997 through 2000, Tyco International has resolved all matters, excluding one disputed issue related to the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. For the undisputed issues for years 2001 through 2004, it is our understanding that Tyco International expects the IRS to issue general agreement Forms 870 during fiscal 2014. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007 in fiscal 2011, and it is our understanding that fieldwork for this audit period is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. Also, during fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2014. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the status of IRS examinations.

        Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that up to approximately $225 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        Other than the disputed issue discussed in Note 8, we are not aware of any other matters that could result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 28, 2014.

        During November 2013, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, redeemed all of its outstanding 5.95% senior notes due 2014, representing $300 million principal amount. We paid an immaterial premium in connection with the early redemption.

        During November 2013, TEGSA issued $325 million aggregate principal amount of 2.375% senior notes due December 17, 2018. The notes are TEGSA's unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and any future senior indebtedness of TEGSA and senior to any subordinated indebtedness that TEGSA may incur. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment on an unsecured senior basis by TE Connectivity Ltd.

        During the quarter ended March 28, 2014, we reclassified $250 million of 1.60% senior notes due 2015 from long-term debt to current maturities of long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        As of March 28, 2014, TEGSA had $375 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.26%. TEGSA had $350 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.28% at September 27, 2013.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

        We use derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, investment, and commodity risks.

• Foreign Exchange Risks

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize foreign currency forward and swap 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 associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months.

• Interest Rate and Investment Risk Management

        We issue debt, as needed, to fund our operations and capital requirements. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure, we use interest rate swaps to convert a portion of fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. We use forward starting interest rate swaps and options to enter into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. We also utilize investment swaps to manage earnings exposure on certain non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of our 3.50% senior notes due 2022. The maturity dates of the interest rate swaps coincide with the maturity date of the notes. Under these contracts, we receive fixed amounts of interest applicable to the underlying notes and pay floating amounts based upon the three-month U.S. Dollar London interbank offered rate.

• Hedges of Net Investment

        We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $2,498 million and $2,374 million at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Foreign exchange gains and losses were immaterial during the quarters and six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, and were recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, offsetting foreign exchange gains or losses attributable to the translation of the net investment.

• Commodity Hedges

        As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production.

        At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, our commodity hedges had notional values of $296 million and $278 million, respectively. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the commodity hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months.

• Derivative Instrument Summary

        The effects of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were immaterial for the quarters and six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013.

• Fair Value Measurements

        Financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, which consist of derivative instruments and marketable securities, were immaterial at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013.

        As of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, we did not have significant financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We also did not have significant non-financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value as of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013.

        Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. These instruments are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at book value. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, we believe book value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our debt based on indicative valuations was approximately $3,184 million and $3,180 million at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively.

• Tax Sharing Agreement

        Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of our shares, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "separation").

        Upon separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, under which we share responsibility for certain of our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. We, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's U.S. income tax returns. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify us for 69% of certain liabilities settled in cash by us with respect to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, we have made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled in cash by the companies relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. We are responsible for all of our own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition, Tyco International and Covidien are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. Our indemnification created under the Tax Sharing Agreement qualifies as a guarantee of a third party entity's debt under Accounting Standards Codification 460, Guarantees.

        At March 28, 2014, we had a liability representing the indemnifications made to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement of $219 million which is primarily reflected in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 27, 2013, the liability was $223 million and consisted of $185 million in accrued and other current liabilities and $38 million in other liabilities. The amount reflected in accrued and other current liabilities is our estimated cash obligation under the Tax Sharing Agreement to Tyco International and Covidien in connection with pre-separation tax matters that could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We have assessed the probable future cash payments to Tyco International and Covidien for income tax matters pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement and determined that $219 million is sufficient to satisfy these expected obligations.

• Other Matters

        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 March 28, 2014, we had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $336 million.

        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        We generally record estimated product warranty costs when contract revenues are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for construction related contracts and at the time of sale for products. The estimation is primarily based on historical experience and actual warranty claims. Amounts accrued for warranty claims at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013 were $35 million and $38 million, respectively.

• Legal Proceedings

        In the ordinary 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, 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. However, the proceedings discussed below in "Income Tax Matters" could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At March 28, 2014, we had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system was completed for and approved by the State of Florida in accordance with guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, we do not believe we have any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested our position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as we do not believe that any payment is probable at this time.

• Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of our shares or the shares of Covidien to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, upon separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-separation tax matters of Tyco International. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        During fiscal 2007, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued Revenue Agent Reports that reflected the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the 1997 through 2000 period. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. The penalties were asserted against a prior subsidiary of Tyco International that was distributed to us in connection with the separation. Tyco International appealed certain of the proposed adjustments for the years 1997 through 2000, and Tyco International resolved all but one of the matters associated with the proposed tax adjustments, including reaching an agreement with the IRS on the penalty adjustment in the amount of $21 million. In October 2012, the IRS issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the period 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue that remains in dispute as described below. As a result of these developments, in the first six months of fiscal 2013, we recognized an income tax benefit of $331 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves for the matters that were effectively settled, and other expense of $231 million, representing a reduction of associated indemnification receivables, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien.

        The disputed issue involves the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originating during the period 1997 through 2000 did not constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and disallowed approximately $2.7 billion of related interest deductions recognized during the period on Tyco International's U.S. income tax returns. In addition, if the IRS is ultimately successful in asserting its claim, it is likely to disallow an additional $6.6 billion of interest deductions reflected on U.S. income tax returns in years subsequent to fiscal 2000. Tyco International contends that the intercompany financing qualified as debt for U.S. tax purposes and that the interest deductions reflected on the income tax returns are appropriate. The IRS and Tyco International were unable to resolve this matter through the IRS appeals process. On June 20, 2013, Tyco International advised us that it had received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS for certain former U.S. subsidiaries of Tyco International increasing taxable income by approximately $2.9 billion in connection with the audit of Tyco International's fiscal years 1997 through 2000. The Notices of Deficiency assert that Tyco International owes additional taxes totaling $778 million, associated penalties of $154 million, and withholding taxes of $105 million. In addition, Tyco International received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which Tyco International estimates an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million will be asserted. The amounts asserted by the IRS exclude any applicable deficiency interest, and do not reflect any impact to subsequent period tax liabilities in the event that the IRS were to prevail on some or all of its assertions. We understand that Tyco International strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS' proposed adjustments. Tyco International has advised us that it believes there are meritorious defenses for the tax filings in question and that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing U.S. Treasury regulations.

        Resolution of this matter in the U.S. Tax Court could take several years and no payments to the IRS with respect to these matters would be required until the matter is fully and finally resolved. In accordance with the terms of a tax sharing agreement, we, Tyco International, and Covidien would share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of any payments made in connection with these matters.

        If the IRS were to prevail on its assertions, our share of the assessed tax, deficiency interest, and applicable withholding taxes and penalties could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We have reviewed the Notices of Deficiency, the relevant facts surrounding the intercompany debt transactions, relevant tax regulations, and applicable case law, and we continue to believe that we are appropriately reserved for this matter.

        We received net reimbursements of $21 million and made payments of $67 million related to pre-separation tax matters during the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Tyco International's income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004 remain subject to adjustment by the IRS upon ultimate resolution of the disputed issue involving certain intercompany loans originated during the period 1997 through 2000. For the undisputed issues for years 2001 through 2004, it is our understanding that Tyco International expects the IRS to issue general agreement Forms 870 during fiscal 2014. The IRS commenced its audit of certain Tyco International income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007 in fiscal 2011, and it is our understanding that fieldwork for this audit period is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. Also, during fiscal 2012, the IRS commenced its audit of our income tax returns for the years 2008 through 2010. We expect fieldwork for the 2008 through 2010 audit to conclude in fiscal 2014. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make net cash payments of approximately $240 million in connection with pre-separation tax matters.

        At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, we have reflected $58 million and $15 million, respectively, of income tax liabilities related to the audits of Tyco International's and our income tax returns in accrued and other current liabilities as certain of these matters could be resolved within the next twelve months.

        We believe that the amounts recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to the matters discussed above are appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and could result in a material impact to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

• 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 March 28, 2014, we concluded that it was probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of $14 million to $26 million. As of March 28, 2014, we concluded that the best estimate within this range is $15 million, of which $4 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $11 million is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We believe that any potential payment will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        As of March 28, 2014, we had 22 million shares available for issuance under our stock and incentive plans, of which the TE Connectivity Ltd. 2007 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, is the primary plan.

• Share-Based Compensation Assumptions

        Prior to fiscal 2014, we calculated the grant-date fair value of our share option awards utilizing the historical share volatility of a composite of our peers and implied volatility derived from exchange-traded options on that same composite of peers. Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of now having historical share price information for a period of time equal to our expected option life assumption, we began to employ our historical share volatility when calculating the grant-date fair value of our share option grants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Currently, we do not have exchange-traded options of sufficient duration to employ an implied volatility assumption in the calculation and therefore rely solely on the historical volatility calculation. The change in methodology did not have a significant impact on share-based compensation expense during the six months ended March 28, 2014.

        The weighted-average assumptions we used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for the options granted as part of our annual incentive plan grant were as follows:

Expected share price volatility		39	%
Risk free interest rate		1.8	%
Expected annual dividend per share	$	1.00
Expected life of options (in years)		6.0

        In March 2014, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 9,456,526 shares purchased under our share repurchase program during the period from December 29, 2012 to December 27, 2013. The capital reduction by cancellation of these shares is subject to a notice period and filing with the commercial register in Switzerland and is not yet reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

• Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

        We paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to shareholders out of contributed surplus in each of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014.

        In March 2014, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of CHF 1.04 (equivalent to $1.16) per share out of contributed surplus, payable in four equal quarterly installments of $0.29 per share beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 through the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

        Upon approval by the shareholders of a dividend payment or cash distribution in the form of a capital reduction, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus or common shares. At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, the unpaid portion of the dividends recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $475 million and $206 million, respectively.

• Share Repurchase Program

        In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our board of directors authorized an increase of $1 billion in the share repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 7 million of our common shares for $390 million and approximately 11 million of our common shares for $409 million under our share repurchase authorization during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. At March 28, 2014, we had $1,088 million of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.
