"For the full year 2016, Sensata grew its adjusted earnings per share by fourteen percent organically despite facing soft demand in many of our key markets," said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also delivered on our promise to strengthen our balance sheet, while continuing to invest for the future and expand into new markets. We expect that we will sustain double-digit organic growth for adjusted earnings per share in 2017 as we capture M&A synergies and drive further operational efficiencies in our organization."

FY 2017 Guidance
Sensata anticipates revenue to be between $3.150 billion and $3.250 billion for full year 2017, which would represent organic revenue growth of between 1 and 3 percent. Sensata is introducing new guidance for adjusted EBIT in 2017 as the Company believes it is an important indicator of its operational performance. For full year 2017, Sensata expects adjusted EBIT to be between $734 and $756 million. Additionally, the Company expects adjusted net income to be between $528 million and $550 million and adjusted earnings per share to be between $3.08 and $3.20 for full year 2017, which would represent organic growth of 8 to 12 percent. Sensata expects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will lower revenues by approximately 2 percent and will lower adjusted earnings per share by ($0.02) to ($0.03) for full year 2017.
Q1 2017 Guidance
Sensata anticipates revenue to be between $781 million and $805 million for the first quarter of 2017, which would represent organic revenue growth of between 1 and 3 percent. Additionally, Sensata expects adjusted EBIT to be between $164 and $170 million and for adjusted net income to be between $114 million and $120 million, which would represent organic growth of 6 to 11 percent. The Company expects adjusted earnings per share to be between $0.66 and $0.70 for the first quarter of 2017.

Sensata expects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will lower revenues by approximately 3 percent and will lower adjusted net income by approximately $6 million, or ($0.04) in the first quarter of 2017. The Company also anticipates integration expenses of $10 million in the first quarter of 2017. Both foreign currency exchange rates and integration expenses will have a disproportionate effect on adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2017. For the remaining three quarters of 2017, Sensata anticipates that foreign currency exchange rates will increase adjusted net income by approximately $1 to $2 million. Additionally, the company expects to spend approximately $7 million on integration expenses for the remaining three quarters of 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A definition of non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial tables accompanying this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures referenced by Sensata in this press release include organic revenue growth; adjusted net income; adjusted net income margin; adjusted net income per diluted share; organic earnings growth; and free cash flow.
Organic revenue growth is defined as the percentage change in net revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of acquisitions, net of exited businesses that occurred in the previous twelve months, and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in the accompanying reconciliation tables. Adjusted net income margin is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by net revenue. Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.
Organic earnings growth is defined as the percentage change in adjusted net income per share, excluding the impact of acquisitions, net of exited businesses that occurred within the previous 12 months, and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software.
We believe organic revenue growth and organic earnings growth provide investors with helpful information with respect to our operating performance, and we use these measures to evaluate our

3


ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe organic revenue growth and organic earnings growth provide useful information in evaluating the results of our business because they exclude items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.
Management uses adjusted net income as a measure of operating performance, for planning purposes (including the preparation of our annual operating budget), to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and in communications with our Board of Directors and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that investors and securities analysts also use adjusted net income in their evaluation of our performance and the performance of other similar companies.
We also measure our employees and compensate them, in part, based on certain non-GAAP measures. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding our quarterly and annual performance.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures as they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Sensata’s definition of adjusted net income excludes the deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes and other tax expense/(benefit). Sensata’s deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes includes adjustments for book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and goodwill, utilization of net operating losses and adjustments to our U.S. valuation allowance in connection with certain acquisitions. Other tax expense/(benefit) includes certain adjustments to unrecognized tax positions.
As Sensata treats deferred income tax and other tax expense/(benefit) as an adjustment to compute adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items, above, would not change adjusted net income for any period presented.
The current income tax (benefit)/expense associated with the reconciling items above, which is included in adjusted net income, would be as follows: Depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory: $(0.0) million and $(0.2) million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $(0.1) million and $(0.6) million for the full year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively; and Restructuring and special charges of $(0.5) million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $(1.0) million and $(2.1) million for the full year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

1 On December 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of certain subsidiaries of Customer Sensors & Technologies Ltd. as well as certain additional assets (collectively “CST”). Portions of CST are being integrated into our Performing Sensing and Sensing Solutions segments. In the reconciliations above, the term “acquisitions” refers to CST and the term “exited businesses” represents the impact of the termination of unprofitable business activities in late 2015, primarily at our Schrader Brazil facility.
