NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Pronouncements
 Basis of Presentation
        The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In management's opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.
        The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
        Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 are to our fiscal years ending September 29, 2017 and ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 which created new Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance supersedes ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , and introduces a single, comprehensive, five-step revenue recognition model. ASC 606 also enhances disclosures related to revenue recognition. ASC 606, as amended, is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach at adoption. We are continuing to assess the impact of adopting ASC 606 and intend to use a modified retrospective approach. Based on the initial evaluation of our current contracts and revenue streams, we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. We believe we are following an appropriate timeline to allow for the proper recognition, reporting, and disclosure of revenue upon adoption of ASC 606 at the beginning of fiscal 2019.
 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, an update to ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , to simplify various aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees. We elected to early adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The provisions of the update addressing the accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies were adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning accumulated earnings and a corresponding increase in deferred tax assets of $165 million. The provision of the update addressing the presentation on the statement of cash flows of employee taxes paid via the withholding of shares was applied retrospectively and did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Adoption of other provisions, which were applied prospectively, also did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

        As of June 30, 2017, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, had $168 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.40%. TEGSA had $330 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.69% at September 30, 2016.
        The fair value of our debt, based on indicative valuations, was approximately $4,242 million and $4,424 million at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

 9. Commitments and Contingencies
 Legal Proceedings
        In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 Environmental Matters
        We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 30, 2017, we concluded that it was probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of $16 million to $43 million, and that the best estimate within this range was $19 million. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 Guarantees
        In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
        At June 30, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $285 million.
        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not materially affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
        We generally record estimated product warranty costs when contract revenues are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for construction related contracts; other warranty reserves are not significant. The estimation is based primarily on historical experience and actual warranty claims. Amounts accrued for warranty claims were $52 million and $48 million at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.
 Tax Sharing Agreement
        As previously reported, under a Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Tyco International plc ("Tyco International"), and Covidien plc ("Covidien") share 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of income tax

liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to the collective income tax returns for certain of our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's income tax liabilities for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. We have substantially settled all U.S. federal income tax matters with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for periods covered under the Tax Sharing Agreement. Certain shared U.S. state and non-U.S. income tax matters remain open. We do not expect these matters will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 10. Financial Instruments
        We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $3,762 million and $3,480 million at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The impacts of our hedging program were as follows:

        During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we contributed $30 million to our non-U.S. pension plans.
 12. Income Taxes
        During the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of $71 million and $164 million, respectively. The income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2017 included a $14 million income tax benefit associated with pre-separation tax matters. The income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 also included a $52 million income tax benefit associated with the tax impacts of certain intercompany transactions and the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance for U.S. tax loss carryforwards, as well as a $24 million income tax benefit resulting from lapses of statutes of limitations in the U.S. and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.
        During the quarter and nine months ended June 24, 2016, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1,019 million and $831 million, respectively. These income tax benefits included a $1,135 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of pre-separation tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000 which resolved all aspects of a disputed debt matter with the IRS through the year 2007, partially offset by a $91 million increase to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets primarily related to certain U.S. federal and state tax loss and credit carryforwards. Based on our forecast of taxable income for certain U.S. tax reporting groups, U.S. tax loss and credit carryforwards finalized as a result of settlement of the disputed debt matter with the IRS, and certain tax planning actions and strategies, we believed it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would not be realized. Additionally, the income tax benefits recorded during the quarter and nine months ended June 24, 2016 included an $83 million net income tax benefit related to tax settlements in certain other tax jurisdictions, partially offset by an income tax charge related to certain legal entity restructurings.
        During the nine months ended June 24, 2016, we made a payment to the IRS of $443 million for tax deficiencies associated with the disputed debt matter discussed above. Concurrent with remitting this payment, we received net reimbursements of $303 million from Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to indemnifications for pre-separation U.S. tax matters.

 12. Income Taxes (Continued)
        We record accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we had $57 million and $54 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, recorded primarily in income taxes. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized income tax benefits of $7 million related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
        Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that approximately $50 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months.
        We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017.
 13. Other Expense, Net
        During the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and June 24, 2016, we recorded net other expense primarily pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. Net other expense of $651 million and $631 million, recorded during the quarter and nine months ended June 24, 2016, respectively, included $604 million related to the effective settlement of pre-separation tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000 which resolved all aspects of a disputed debt matter with the IRS through the year 2007 and $46 million related to a tax settlement in another jurisdiction. See Notes 9 and 12 for further information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement and the settlement with the IRS, respectively.

 15. Equity
 Common Shares Held in Treasury
        In March 2017, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 26 million shares purchased under our share repurchase program during the period from December 11, 2015 to September 30, 2016. The capital reduction by cancellation of these shares was subject to a notice period and filing with the commercial register in Switzerland and became effective in May 2017.
 Contributed Surplus
        During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, cumulative equity transactions, including dividend activity and treasury share cancellations, have reduced our contributed surplus balance to zero with residual activity recorded against accumulated earnings as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity. To the extent that the contributed surplus balance continues to be zero, the impact of future transactions that normally would have been recorded as a reduction of contributed surplus will be recorded in accumulated earnings.
        As previously disclosed, contributed surplus established for Swiss tax and statutory purposes, which we can distribute free from withholding tax and is updated annually, was CHF 7,878 million (equivalent to $6,992 million) at September 30, 2016 and is not impacted by our GAAP treatment.
 Dividends
        In March 2017, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of $1.60 (equivalent to CHF 1.62) per share, payable in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 through the second quarter of fiscal 2018. We paid the first installment of the dividend at a rate of $0.40 per share in the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
        Upon shareholders' approval of a dividend payment, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to shareholders' equity. At June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the unpaid portion of the dividends recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $424 million and $263 million, respectively.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the heading "Forward-Looking Information" and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors."
        Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").
        The following discussion includes organic net sales growth which is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measure" for additional information regarding this measure.

 Overview
        TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") is a global technology leader. We design and manufacture connectivity and sensor solutions to help build a safer, greener, smarter, and more connected world. Our products are built to work reliably, even in the harshest of environments. Our commitment to innovation enables advancements in transportation, industrial applications, medical technology, energy, data communications, and the home.
        Highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017 include the following:
•
Our net sales increased 7.9% and 8.4% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2016 as a result of sales growth in all segments. On an organic basis, our net sales increased 8.3% and 7.7% during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2016. Price erosion adversely affected organic net sales by $54 million and $164 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted net sales by $51 million and $124 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2016. 

•
Our net sales by segment were as follows: 

•
Transportation Solutions —Our net sales increased 6.8% and 9.0% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, as a result of sales increases in all end markets. 

•
Industrial Solutions —Our net sales increased 6.6% and 11.2% during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, due primarily to increased sales in the industrial equipment end market where we benefitted from sales contributions from recent acquisitions. 

•
Communications Solutions —Our net sales increased 12.4% and 3.6% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, due primarily to increased sales in the subsea communications and appliances end markets. Our net sales declined in the data and devices end market in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 as a result of the divestiture of our Circuit Protection Devices ("CPD") business in fiscal 2016. 

•
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $1,449 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017.

Table of Contents
 Outlook
        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we expect net sales to be between $3.2 billion and $3.3 billion as compared to $3.3 billion in the same period of fiscal 2016, due primarily to sales declines in the Transportation Solutions and Communications Solutions segments relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 included an additional week which contributed $238 million in net sales and $0.13 per share to diluted earnings per share. Additional information regarding expectations for our reportable segments for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2016 is as follows:
•
Transportation Solutions —We expect our net sales to decrease in the automotive end market due to the impact of the additional week in fiscal 2016. Our net sales in the sensors and commercial transportation end markets are expected to be consistent with prior year sales. Excluding the impact of the additional week, we expect our net sales to increase in all end markets with our net sales growth in the automotive end market outpacing anticipated global automotive production growth of 1%. The additional week in fiscal 2016 contributed $130 million in net sales. 

•
Industrial Solutions —We expect our net sales to increase in the industrial equipment end market due primarily to recent acquisitions and continued growth in the factory automation and controls and the medical markets. This increase is expected to be offset by sales declines in the energy and the aerospace, defense, oil, and gas end markets. Excluding the impact of the additional week, we expect our net sales to increase in the industrial equipment and the aerospace, defense, oil, and gas end markets. The additional week contributed $65 million in net sales in fiscal 2016. 

•
Communications Solutions —We expect our net sales in the subsea communications end market to be consistent with the prior year sales. Our net sales in the data and devices and the appliances end markets are expected to decrease relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding the impact of the additional week, we expect our net sales to increase in all end markets. The additional week in fiscal 2016 contributed $43 million in net sales.
We expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.07 to $1.09 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
        For fiscal 2017, we expect net sales to be between $12.85 billion and $12.95 billion, an increase from $12.2 billion in fiscal 2016 which included the additional week discussed above. This increase is attributable to sales growth in all segments. Additional information regarding expectations for our reportable segments for fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016 is as follows:
•
Transportation Solutions —We expect our net sales growth in the automotive end market to exceed anticipated global automotive production growth of approximately 3% with the benefits of increased content per vehicle and market share gains being partially offset by the impact of the additional week in fiscal 2016. We continue to expect our net sales to increase in the commercial transportation and sensors end markets. 

•
Industrial Solutions —We expect our net sales to increase in the industrial equipment end market due primarily to recent acquisitions and continued growth in the factory automation and controls and the medical markets. 

•
Communications Solutions —We expect our net sales growth in the subsea communications and the appliances end markets to be partially offset by sales declines in the data and devices end market due primarily to the divestiture of our CPD business.

Table of Contents
We expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $4.54 to $4.56 per share in fiscal 2017. This outlook reflects the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales and earnings per share of approximately $124 million and $0.07 per share, respectively, in fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016.
        The above outlook is based on foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that are consistent with current levels.
        We are monitoring the current macroeconomic environment and its potential effects on our customers and the end markets we serve. We continue to closely manage our costs in line with economic conditions. Additionally, we are managing our capital resources and monitoring capital availability to ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund future capital needs. See further discussion in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        See discussion of net sales below under "Segment Results."
        Net Sales by Geographic Region.     Our business operates in three geographic regions—the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa ("EMEA"), and Asia–Pacific—and our results of operations are influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar, compared to other currencies, will directly affect our reported results as we translate those currencies into U.S. dollars at the end of each fiscal period.
        Approximately 55% of our net sales were invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the first nine months of fiscal 2017.

        Gross margin increased $116 million and $382 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2016. The increases were due primarily to higher volume and lower material costs, partially offset by the negative impact of price erosion.
        Cost of sales and gross margin are subject to variability in raw material prices which continue to fluctuate for many of the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products. We expect to purchase approximately 190 million pounds of copper, 120,000 troy ounces of gold, and 2.5 million troy

        Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.     Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $45 million and $122 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017, respectively, from the same periods in fiscal 2016. The increases resulted primarily from increased selling expenses to support higher sales levels, increased incentive compensation costs, increased costs associated with long-term expense reduction initiatives, and additional expenses associated with recent acquisitions.
        Restructuring and Other Charges (Credits), Net.     We are committed to continuous productivity improvements and consistently evaluate opportunities to simplify our global manufacturing footprint, migrate facilities to lower-cost regions, reduce fixed costs, and eliminate excess capacity. These initiatives are designed to help us maintain our competitiveness in the industry, improve our operating leverage, and position us for future growth.
        During fiscal 2017, we initiated a restructuring program associated with footprint consolidation related to recent acquisitions and structural improvements impacting all segments. During fiscal 2016, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions impacting all segments and product line closures in the Communications Solutions segment.
        In connection with these initiatives, during the first nine months of fiscal 2017, we incurred net restructuring charges of $124 million. Annualized cost savings related to the fiscal 2017 actions are expected to be approximately $145 million and are generally expected to be realized by the end of fiscal 2019. Cost savings will be reflected primarily in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses. During fiscal 2017, we expect to incur net restructuring charges of approximately $150 million. We expect total spending, which will be funded with cash from operations, to be approximately $90 million in fiscal 2017.

        Excluding these items, operating income increased in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2017 due primarily to higher volume and improved manufacturing productivity, partially offset by the negative impact of price erosion.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
        Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our ability to access the capital markets, money markets, or other sources of funding, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements. We believe that cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, these other sources of potential funding will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs for the foreseeable future, including the payment of $708 million of 6.55% senior notes due in October 2017. We may use excess cash to purchase a portion of our common shares pursuant to our authorized share repurchase program; to acquire strategic businesses or product lines; to pay dividends on our common shares; or to reduce our outstanding debt, including through the possible repurchase of our debt in accordance with applicable law. The cost or availability of future funding may be impacted by financial market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial markets and respond as necessary to changing conditions.
 Cash Flows from Operating Activities
        In the first nine months of fiscal 2017, net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased $187 million to $1,449 million from $1,262 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016. The
39

Table of Contents
increase resulted primarily from higher income levels, excluding the net benefits associated with the effective settlement of pre-separation tax matters, and a decrease in tax payments, partially offset by the impact of increased sales on accounts receivable levels.
        The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the first nine months of fiscal 2017 and 2016 was $256 million and $742 million, respectively. Payments made in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 included $448 million for tax deficiencies related to pre-separation U.S. tax matters. Also, during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, we received net reimbursements of $303 million from Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to indemnifications for pre-separation U.S. tax matters.
        See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement associated with pre-separation tax matters and Notes 12 and 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the effective settlement of tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000.
 Cash Flows from Investing Activities
        Capital spending was $452 million and $420 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. We expect fiscal 2017 capital spending levels to be approximately 5% of net sales. We believe our capital funding levels are adequate to support new programs, and we continue to invest in our manufacturing infrastructure to further enhance productivity and manufacturing capabilities.
        During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we acquired MicroGroup, a manufacturer of specialized metal tubing for medical devices, for a cash purchase price of $77 million, net of cash acquired. This business will be reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment.
        During the first nine months of fiscal 2016, we acquired three businesses, including the Creganna Medical group, for a combined cash purchase price of $994 million, net of cash acquired. See additional information in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
        During the first nine months of fiscal 2016, we received net cash proceeds of $326 million related to the sale of our CPD business. See additional information in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 Cash Flows from Financing Activities and Capitalization
        Total debt at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $3,991 million and $4,070 million, respectively. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.
        Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, has a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") with total commitments of $1,500 million. The Credit Facility expires in December 2020. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.
        The Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant providing that if, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeds 3.75 to 1.0, an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) is triggered. The Credit Facility and our other debt agreements contain other customary covenants. None of our covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and believe that we will continue to be in compliance with our existing covenants for the foreseeable future.

        In addition to the Credit Facility, TEGSA is the borrower under our senior notes and commercial paper. TEGSA's payment obligations under its senior notes, commercial paper, and Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, TE Connectivity Ltd.
        Payments of common share dividends to shareholders were $405 million and $377 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.
        In March 2017, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of $1.60 (equivalent to CHF 1.62) per share, payable in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 through the second quarter of fiscal 2018. We paid the first installment of the dividend at a rate of $0.40 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
        We repurchased approximately 5 million of our common shares for $386 million and approximately 41 million of our common shares for $2,514 million under our share repurchase authorization during the first nine months of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, we had $716 million of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

 Legal Proceedings
        In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 Guarantees
        In certain instances, we have guaranteed the performance of third parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from fiscal 2017 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance, and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
        In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
        At June 30, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $285 million.
        In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not materially affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 Tax Sharing Agreement
        As previously reported, we are a party to a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to taxes for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
        The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.
        Our accounting policies for revenue recognition, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, and pension benefits are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management. For additional information regarding these policies and the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in these policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. There were no significant changes to this information during the first nine months of fiscal 2017.

 Accounting Pronouncements
        See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.

 Non-GAAP Financial Measure
 Organic Net Sales Growth
        We present organic net sales growth as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider this adjusted financial measure in addition to results in accordance with GAAP. 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.
        Organic net sales growth provides useful information about our results and the trends of our business. Management uses organic net sales growth to monitor and evaluate performance. Also, management uses organic net sales growth together with GAAP financial measures in its decision making processes related to the operations of our reportable segments and our overall company. It is also a significant component in our incentive compensation plans. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating operations. The tables presented in "Results of Operations" and "Segment Results" provide reconciliations of organic net sales growth to net sales growth calculated in accordance with GAAP.
        Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a replacement for results in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The primary 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 organic net sales growth in

combination with net sales growth in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts.

 Forward-Looking Information
        Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include, among others, the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, acquisitions, divestitures, the effects of competition, and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "may," "should," or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.
        Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We do not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements after we file this report except as required by law.
        The following and other risks, which are described in greater detail in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements:
•
conditions in the global or regional economies and global capital markets, and cyclical industry conditions (including as a result of the impact of the expected exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union); 

•
conditions affecting demand for products in the industries we serve, particularly the automotive industry; 

•
competition and pricing pressure; 

•
market acceptance of our new product introductions and product innovations and product life cycles; 

•
raw material availability, quality, and cost;

•
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;
43

Table of Contents
•
risks of litigation; 

•
our ability to operate within the limitations imposed by our debt instruments; 

•
the possible effects on us of various U.S. and non-U.S. legislative proposals and other initiatives that, if adopted, could materially increase our worldwide corporate effective tax rate and negatively impact our U.S. government contracts business; 

•
various risks associated with being a Swiss corporation; 

•
the impact of fluctuations in the market price of our shares; and 

•
the impact of certain provisions of our articles of association on unsolicited takeover proposals.
        There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
        There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk during the first nine months of fiscal 2017. For further discussion of our exposures to market risk, refer to "Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017.
 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
        During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
