GALWAY, Ireland, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity plc (NYSE: TEL) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended Mar. 28, 2025.
"Our teams delivered strong operational performance that led to record adjusted EPS and results that exceeded our guidance on both sales and earnings," said TE Connectivity CEO Terrence Curtin. "Our Transportation segment continued to execute well, capitalizing on our leading position in Asia and maintaining strong margin performance. Our Industrial segment expanded its operating margin on sales growth of 17%, driven by broad business growth and ongoing momentum in AI, aerospace and energy applications.
"Due to our long-standing business strategy and investments to locate manufacturing facilities near customers, we expect to effectively navigate the current trade environment. Our ongoing momentum and ability to pull operational levers gives us confidence in our third quarter guidance for year-over-year improvement in sales and EPS. We are well positioned for the current uncertain macroeconomic environment and remain focused on innovating in long-term industrial technology growth trends and creating value for both our customers and owners."
For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the company expects net sales of approximately $4.30 billion, up 8% year over year. GAAP EPS from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $2.02, up nearly 9% year over year, with adjusted EPS of approximately $2.06, up 8% year over year. Third quarter guidance includes the benefit from the Richards acquisition and tariff impact assumptions, as well as tax rate headwinds of $0.04 on a year over year basis and $0.06 sequentially.

We present non-GAAP performance and liquidity measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision-making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements.
All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this release include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results.
Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the extent, severity and duration of business interruptions negatively affecting our business operations; business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products in the automotive and other industries we serve; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate, including continuing military conflict in certain parts of the world; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation.
In addition, our change of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland is subject to risks, such as the risk that the anticipated advantages might not materialize, as well as the risks that the price of our stock could decline and our position on stock exchanges and indices could change, and Irish corporate governance and regulatory schemes could prove different or more challenging than currently expected.
