Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
The following provides additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures:
Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) – represents net sales growth (decline) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) is a useful measure of our performance because 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. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin – represent operating income and operating margin, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, and other income or charges, if any. We utilize these adjusted measures in combination with operating income and operating margin to assess segment level operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and market conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any.Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations – represents income from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects.Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.Free Cash Flow (FCF) – is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. 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 operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP financial measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including cash paid (collected) pursuant to collateral requirements related to cross-currency swap contracts, are also excluded by management in evaluating Free Cash Flow. 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. In the calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract 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 financial measure indicates. 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. In addition, our proposed change of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland is subject to risks, such as the risk that the change of place of incorporation might not be completed or, if completed, 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. 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, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) 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, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in TE Connectivity Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept 29, 2023, as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

DIGITIMES Asia: Qualcomm circles Intel for takeover: biting off more than it can chew?
Published
3 hours agoon
September 28, 2024By
TAIPEI, Sept. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Wall Street Journal reported that Qualcomm has approached Intel for a potential takeover, a story later verified by CNBC. While the news initially sparked a 3% rally in Intel’s share price, significant doubts remain about the feasibility of such a deal.
According to the news report from the technology-focused media DIGITIMES Asia, a takeover could offer strategic value for Qualcomm, but the complexities of acquiring a company of Intel’s size and stature raise numerous questions. Here are the key challenges Qualcomm would need to overcome to make the deal successful:
Regulatory approval
One of the most significant obstacles is likely to be regulatory scrutiny. Given Intel’s size and market position in the semiconductor industry, antitrust authorities in multiple jurisdictions would carefully evaluate any acquisition. Concerns about market monopolization could lead to regulatory pushback or even prevent the merger altogether.
The semiconductor industry is heavily regulated, and any significant changes to the structure or operations of Intel’s foundry could attract scrutiny from antitrust authorities. Qualcomm would need to ensure that any divestitures or restructuring do not violate competition laws, particularly given Intel’s prominent position in the market.
Some argue that Qualcomm’s takeover bid could survive the competition law review because Intel is facing financial difficulties, and the two companies do not compete in the same market spaces, except for PC CPUs. However, the deal would still need to go through reviews in other countries, including China, whose passive disapproval led to the failure of Intel’s acquisition of Tower Semiconductor.
Intel’s internal resistance
Intel’s management may resist a takeover, particularly if they believe the company can turn its fortunes around independently. Qualcomm’s bid could face significant challenges if Intel’s leadership does not support the acquisition or sees it as strategically disadvantageous.
Market reaction, stakeholder support, and existing industry relationships
The success of a bid often relies on the reactions of shareholders and market stakeholders. If Intel’s shareholders see more value in maintaining independence or if there is skepticism about the strategic fit of Qualcomm acquiring Intel, this could lead to difficulties in securing the necessary support for the acquisition.
Qualcomm may need to navigate Intel’s existing relationships with its customers, partners, and suppliers, especially if those entities are concerned about the implications of a takeover.
For example, Intel’s foundry business may have existing contracts with third-party clients, including the recently announced AWS deal. If Qualcomm decides to scale back or eliminate this segment, it could lead to legal disputes or loss of revenue from already established contracts, impacting Qualcomm’s cash flow.
Financial viability
Qualcomm would need to ensure that it has the financial resources to make a competitive bid for Intel while also addressing any existing debts or liabilities Intel carries. According to Qualcomm’s financial report for the third quarter of its fiscal 2024, the three months to June 23, the company had only US$7.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents at its disposal and just over US$23 billion in total assets.
With Intel’s market value around US$93 billion, a stock-for-stock transaction is most likely for the takeover. However, Qualcomm would have to convince investors and financial institutions of the potential profitability of the acquisition, considering Intel’s financial struggles with its foundry business.
Strategic and operational alignment
The takeover offers Qualcomm numerous benefits, including a vast portfolio of intellectual properties (IPs), a significant market share in the PC chip market, and an accelerated entry into edge AI computing, a promising area for future growth.
However, merging two large organizations with distinct cultures and operational methods always presents significant challenges. Qualcomm would need to develop a comprehensive integration plan to address potential disruptions and ensure a smooth transition.
While Qualcomm’s bid to acquire Intel could theoretically provide a significant advantage in the competitive semiconductor landscape, several formidable challenges stand in the way. The success of the takeover would depend on a favorable regulatory environment, the response of Intel’s management and shareholders, solid financial backing, and a well-defined strategy that highlights the expected benefits of the consolidation.
Given the complexities involved, predicting whether Qualcomm’s bid would succeed is challenging, and it could ultimately require careful negotiation, strategic planning, and a willingness to adapt to the responses of various stakeholders.
