“Our results through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 reflect the ability of our teams to execute in what continues to be a challenging market environment. I’m pleased that we quickly responded to market weakness and demonstrated earnings resiliency despite a decline in revenue. Our Industrial segment continued to show top-line organic growth and margin expansion, led by strength in our aerospace, defense and medical businesses, while our Transportation segment outperformed auto production declines through product content gains and our strong global position,” said TE Connectivity CEO Terrence Curtin. “I want to thank our employees for their solid execution of our strategy and their commitment to our customers and our purpose, which once again helped TE achieve external recognition, including being named by Fortune as a World’s Most Admired Company for the second consecutive year.”

 

2020 Outlook

For the fiscal first quarter of 2020, the company expects net sales of $3.0 billion to $3.2 billion, reflecting a decrease of 7% on an actual basis and 6% on an organic basis year over year at the mid-point. Diluted EPS from continuing operations are expected to be $0.93 to $0.99, including net restructuring, acquisition-related and other charges of $0.17. The company expects adjusted EPS of $1.10 to $1.16.

 

For the full year, the company expects net sales of $12.7 to $13.3 billion, reflecting 3% actual and 2% organic decline at the mid-point versus the prior year. Diluted EPS from continuing operations are expected to be $4.21 to $4.61, including net restructuring, acquisition-related and other charges of $0.64. The company expects adjusted EPS of $4.85 to $5.25.

 

“We continue to see a challenging and uncertain global market environment in fiscal 2020 and remain confident in the ability of our teams to adjust to changing dynamics and deliver strong performance for our owners and customers,” said Curtin. “We will continue to execute cost reduction plans to preserve operating resiliency and generate strong cash flow, while maintaining our strategy of expanding content with our highly engineered solutions. At the same time, we will continue to invest in long-term global growth trends where our innovative technologies create a safer, sustainable, productive and connected future.”

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 – represents net sales growth (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 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, 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 Other Income (Expense), Net – represents net other income (expense) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other items, if any.
· Adjusted Income Tax Expense and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax expense 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, 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, tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, 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, tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, 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 continuing 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 continuing 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 net payments related to pre-separation tax matters and 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.

 

    4

 

 

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.

These non - GAAP financial measures provide supplem ental 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 be lie ve 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 th at 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 incr eas e 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 – represents net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of fore ign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth is a useful meas ure 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, a nd 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 co mpensation plans. • Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin – represent operating income and operating margin, respectively, (the mo st comparable GAAP financial measures) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, and other income or ch arg es, if any. We utilize these adjusted measures in combination with operating income and operating margin to assess segment level operating performance and to provi de insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and market conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant component in our incentive co mpensation plans. • Adjusted Other Income (Expense), Net – represents net other income (expense) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other items, if any. • Adjusted Income Tax Expense and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax expense 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 cha rges, 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 me asure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax r etu rns and other tax items, 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 financi al measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior pe rio d tax returns and other tax items, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This measure is a signifi can t component in our incentive compensation plans.

The difference between net cash provided by continui ng operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believ e a re 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 managemen t t o monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by continuing operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions a nd the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP financial measure because this act ivi ty is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including net payments related to pre - separation tax matters an d 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 lo ng - term commitments. In the calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract certain cash items that are ultimately within management’s and the Board of Di rectors’ 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 shou ld 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 no n - discretionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary dividends, share repurchases, and bus iness acquisitions, that are not considered in the calculation of Free Cash Flow. • Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – represents adjusted net operating profit after tax divided by average invested capi tal. We use Adjusted Return on Invested Capital as an indicator of our capital efficiency. Adjusted Return on Invested Capital is not a measure defined by GAAP. It is calculated by us, in part, using non - GAAP financial measures. We are providing our calculation of Adjusted Return on Invested Capital as this measure may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Non - GAAP Financial Measures (cont.)
