TE Connectivity plc Segments Disclosure
20. Segment and Geographic Data
Effective for fiscal 2025, we reorganized our management and segments to align the organization around our current strategy. Our businesses in the former Communications Solutions segment have been moved into the Industrial Solutions segment. Also, the appliances and industrial equipment businesses have been combined to form the automation and connected living business. In addition, we realigned certain product lines and businesses from the Industrial Solutions and former Communications Solutions segments to the Transportation Solutions segment. We now operate through two reportable segments: Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions. Our segments are organized based on several factors, including differences in markets, products, and customers. See Note 1 for a description of our segments. The following segment information reflects the new segment reporting structure. Prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the new segment structure.
Segment performance is evaluated by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, based primarily on net sales and operating income. On a regular basis, the CODM considers segment results in combination with budget-to-actual variances, segment performance reviews, trends and forecasts, and the overall economic environment to assess segment performance, make decisions, and determine how to allocate capital and other resources to the segments.
Costs specific to a segment are charged to the segment, and corporate expenses, such as headquarters administrative costs, are allocated to the segments based on each segment’s share of total operating income. Intersegment sales are not material. Corporate assets are allocated to the segments based on each segment’s share of total segment assets.
No single customer accounted for a significant amount of our net sales in fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.
As we are not organized by product or service, it is not practicable to disclose net sales by product or service.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
