otherwise, except to the extent required by law. In addition to our future financial condition and operating results, the 
forward-looking statements in this presentation include statements addressing our ability to execute an acquisition 
agreement to acquire Deutsch (the “Deutsch Acquisition”), our ability to fund and consummate the Deutsch Acquisition,

regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products, particularly the automotive industry and the 
telecommunications, computer and consumer electronics industries; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in 
foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in

Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2011 as well as in our Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed

Non-GAAP Measures

The forecasted earnings per share amount, as adjusted, that is set forth in this presentation is a non-GAAP (U.S. 
generally accepted accounting principles) measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. The 
company uses diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. before special 
items, including charges or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, acquisition 
related charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax 
items, certain significant special tax items and, if applicable, related tax effects ("Adjusted Earnings Per Share" or 
"Adjusted EPS"). We use Adjusted EPS because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results 
excluding these items in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such a measure provides a picture of 
our results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of special items, which may recur, but 
tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby making comparisons between periods more difficult. It also is a significant 
component in our incentive compensation plans. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of 
items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using 
Adjusted Earnings Per Share in combination with diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TE 
Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and 
impact of any increase or decrease on reported results.

The forecasted EBITDA margin amount for Deutsch that is set forth in this presentation is a non-GAAP measure and 
should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results.  EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, 
interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not intended to represent Deutsch’s results of 
operations in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income or any other operating 
measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Because we do not predict the amount and timing of special items that might occur in the future, and our forecasts are 
developed at a level of detail different than that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures, we do not provide 
reconciliations to GAAP of our forward-looking financial measures.
