NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts of Amphenol Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Annual Report”).

Note 2—New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (3) determine the transaction price(s), (4) allocate the transaction price(s) to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires advanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of FASB’s revenue standard under ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. As a result of ASU 2015-14, the guidance under ASU 2014-09 shall apply for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarified the implementation guidance regarding performance obligations and licensing arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2014-09 and does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance of measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has evaluated ASU 2015-11 and does not believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends, among other things, the existing guidance by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets (right-to-use) and liabilities (for reasonably certain lease payments) arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. For leases

6

Table of Contents

with a term of twelve months or less, ASU 2016-02 permits an entity to make an accounting policy election to recognize such leases as lease expense, generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies certain provisions associated with the accounting for stock compensation. Among other things, ASU 2016-09 requires companies to record excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the statement of income and eliminates the requirement to reclassify cash flows related to excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09, the impact of its adoption on our consolidated financial statements will be dependent on the timing and intrinsic value of future stock-based compensation award exercises.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which amends ASC 230 to add and clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 was issued with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to certain types of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated ASU 2016-15 and does not believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Inventories

|  | September 30, |  | December 31, |

|  | $ | 926.6 |  | $ | 851.8 |

Note 4—Reportable Business Segments

The Company has two reportable business segments: (i) Interconnect Products and Assemblies and (ii) Cable Products and Solutions. The Company aggregates its operating segments into reportable segments based upon similar economic characteristics and business groupings of products, services and customers. The Interconnect Product and Assemblies segment primarily designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of connector and connector systems, value-add products and other products, including antennas and sensors, used in a broad range of applications in a diverse set of end markets. The Cable Products and Solutions segment primarily designs, manufactures and markets cable, value-add products and components for use primarily in the broadband communications and information technology markets as well as certain applications in other markets. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the Company as a whole and are described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report. The Company evaluates the performance of business units on, among other things, profit or loss from operations before interest, headquarters’ expense allocations, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, amortization related to certain intangible assets and nonrecurring gains and losses.

Note 6—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common shares outstanding, which relates to stock options. A reconciliation of the basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (dollars and shares in millions):

|  | Three months ended September 30, |  | Nine months ended September 30, |
|  | 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders |  | $ | 224.3 |  | $ | 204.5 |  | $ | 587.5 |  | $ | 563.3 |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding |  |  | 308.9 |  |  | 308.9 |  |  | 308.3 |  |  | 309.3 |
Effect of dilutive stock options |  |  | 6.8 |  |  | 7.0 |  |  | 6.8 |  |  | 7.6 |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding |  |  | 315.7 |  |  | 315.9 |  |  | 315.1 |  |  | 316.9 |
Earnings per share attributable to Amphenol Corporation shareholders: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | 0.73 |  | $ | 0.66 |  | $ | 1.91 |  | $ | 1.82 |
Diluted |  | $ | 0.71 |  | $ | 0.65 |  | $ | 1.86 |  | $ | 1.78 |

Excluded from the computations above were anti-dilutive common shares of 13.2 million and 9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 11.0 million and 5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Restricted shares outstanding at September 30, 2016 |  | 16,905 |  | $ | 57.99 |  | 0.65 |

As of September 30, 2016, the total compensation cost related to non-vested restricted shares not yet recognized was approximately $0.6 with a weighted average expected amortization period of 0.65 years.

The grant-date fair value of each option grant under the 2000 Employee Option Plan, the 2009 Employee Option Plan and the 2004 Directors Option Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant-date fair value of each restricted share grant is determined based on the closing share price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model for option grants requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected share price volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Common Stock and implied volatility derived from related exchange traded options. The average expected life is based on the contractual term of the option and expected exercise and historical post-vesting termination experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The expected annual dividend per share is based on the Company’s dividend rate.

Stock-based compensation expense includes the estimated effects of forfeitures, which are adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent actual forfeitures differ or are expected to differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized in the period of change and impact the amount of expense to be recognized in future periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 the Company’s income before income taxes and net income were reduced for stock-based compensation expense by $12.2 and $9.3, respectively, and these reductions were $35.5 and $27.0, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 the Company’s income before income taxes and net income were reduced for stock-based compensation expense by $11.8 and $8.8, respectively, and those reductions were $32.1 and $23.9, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The expense incurred for stock-based compensation is included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity

In January 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 10 million shares of Common Stock during the two-year period ending January 20, 2017 (the “2015 Stock Repurchase Program”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of Common Stock for $229.6. These treasury shares have been retired by the Company and common stock and retained earnings were reduced accordingly. Through October 31, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million additional shares of Common Stock for $63.3. At October 31, 2016, approximately 0.5 million additional shares of Common Stock may be repurchased under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program. The price and timing of any future purchases under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends, economic and market conditions and stock price.

Note 10—Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans (the “U.S. Plans”), which cover certain U.S. employees and which represent the majority of the plan assets and benefit obligations of the aggregate defined benefit plans of the Company. The U.S. Plans’ benefits are generally based on years of service and compensation and are generally noncontributory. Certain U.S. employees not covered by the U.S. Plans are covered by defined contribution plans. Certain foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit plans covering their employees (the “International Plans” and, together with the U.S. Plans, the “Plans”). The following is a summary, based on the most recent actuarial valuations of the Company’s net cost for pension benefits, of the Plans and other postretirement benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made cash contributions to the Plans of approximately $16.0, and estimates that, based on current actuarial calculations, it will make aggregate cash contributions to the Plans in 2016 of approximately $22.0, the majority of which will be to the U.S. Plans. The timing and amount of cash contributions in subsequent years will depend on a number of factors, including the investment performance of the Plan assets.

The Company offers various defined contribution plans for certain U.S. and foreign employees. Participation in these plans is based on certain eligibility requirements. The Company matches the majority of employee contributions to U.S. defined contribution plans with cash contributions up to a maximum of 5% of eligible compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the total matching contributions to these U.S. defined contribution plans were approximately $3.5 and $3.2, respectively.

Note 11—Acquisitions

On January 8, 2016, the Company acquired all of the share capital of FCI Asia Pte Ltd (“FCI”) for a purchase price of approximately $1,178.6, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded by cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments that were held outside of the United States.

Headquartered in Singapore, FCI, a global leader in interconnect solutions for the information technology and data communications, industrial, mobile networks, automotive and mobile devices markets, is reported as part of the Company’s Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment. FCI is a leading supplier of high-speed backplane and mezzanine connectors, power interconnect solutions and a wide variety of board-mounted interconnects.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include the results of FCI for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of acquisitions as well as the negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately $11.9 and $40.3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods, the Company’s net sales increased approximately 2% and 1% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods.

Allocation of Purchase Price

The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of FCI based upon their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of the assembled workforce along with anticipated cost savings and efficiencies associated with the integration of FCI and other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company has substantially completed its analysis of the fair value of the net assets acquired through the use of independent valuations and management’s estimates and does not anticipate any material adjustments. However, the final assessment of values for FCI is subject to change as additional information is obtained during the acquisition measurement period. The following table summarizes the assessment of the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired, as of the date of acquisition of January 8, 2016.

Accounts receivable |  | $ | 97.1 |
Inventories |  |  | 65.8 |
Other current assets |  |  | 13.4 |
Land and depreciable assets |  |  | 78.6 |
Goodwill |  |  | 932.5 |
Intangible assets |  |  | 252.0 |
Other long-term assets |  |  | 13.0 |
Assets acquired |  |  | 1,452.4 |
Accounts payable |  |  | 61.6 |
Other current liabilities |  |  | 55.0 |
Accrued pension benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities |  |  | 157.2 |
Liabilities assumed |  |  | 273.8 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 1,178.6 |

Of the $252.0 of acquired intangible assets, $133.8 was assigned to indefinite-lived trade names which are not subject to amortization. The remaining $118.2 of finite-lived acquired intangible assets is comprised of $53.2, $57.0 and $8.0 assigned to proprietary technology, customer relationships and backlog, respectively, all of which are subject to amortization. The finite-lived acquired intangible assets have a total weighted average useful life of approximately 10 years. The proprietary technology, customer relationships and backlog have a weighted average useful life of 9 years, 12 years and 0.25 years, respectively. These finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected by the future net cash inflows. The entire amount of goodwill was assigned to

the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment, of which approximately $91.9 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma combined financial information assuming that the FCI acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2015, and its results had been included in our financial results for the full three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The pro forma combined amounts are based upon available information and reflect a reasonable estimate of the effects of the FCI acquisition for the periods presented on the basis set forth herein. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the financial position or results of operations would have been had the FCI acquisition in fact occurred on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.

|  | Three months ended September 30, |  | Nine months ended September 30, |
Pro forma: |  | 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Net sales |  | $ | 1,635.9 |  | $ | 1,600.1 |  | $ | 4,645.0 |  | $ | 4,563.9 |
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation |  |  | 230.1 |  |  | 211.0 |  |  | 620.8 |  |  | 591.1 |
Net income per common share - Diluted |  |  | 0.73 |  |  | 0.67 |  |  | 1.97 |  |  | 1.87 |

The unaudited pro forma Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation has been calculated using actual historical information and is adjusted for certain pro forma adjustments based on the assumption that the FCI acquisition and the application of fair value adjustments to intangible assets occurred on January 1, 2015. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the pro forma financial information excluded acquisition-related expenses, net of tax, of $5.8 and $33.1, respectively, which are included in the reported results, but excluded from the pro forma amounts above due to their nonrecurring nature. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the pro forma financial information reflects the following adjustments, net of tax: (a) acquisition-related expenses of nil and $5.7, respectively, which were included in the reported results, but excluded from the pro forma amounts above due to their nonrecurring nature, (b) amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets of $2.2 and $6.6, respectively, that was not reflected in the historical results, but has been included in the pro forma amounts, (c) interest income of approximately $2.9 and $8.7, respectively, earned on the cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments used to fund the FCI acquisition that was included in the historical results, but excluded from the pro forma amounts, and (d) other income of $1.7 and $3.4, respectively, that was included in the historical results of FCI, but excluded from the pro forma amounts due to their nonrecurring nature.

Other Acquisitions

The Company is in the process of completing its analysis of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to its other 2016 acquisitions and anticipates that the final assessment of values will not differ materially from the preliminary assessment. These 2016 acquisitions, as well as the 2015 acquisitions, were not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate.

Acquisition-related Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $30.3 ($27.3 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses related to the acquisition of FCI in the first quarter of 2016, primarily related to external transaction costs, amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog and post-closing restructuring charges; and approximately $6.3 ($5.8 after-tax) of acquisition-related transaction expenses related to other 2016 acquisitions in the third quarter of 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred approximately $5.7 ($5.7 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses related to professional fees and other external expenses primarily related to the FCI acquisition which was announced in the second quarter of 2015. Such acquisition-related expenses are separately presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 12—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment were as follows:

|  | Interconnect |  | Cable |  |  |  |
|  | Products and |  | Products and |  |  |  |
|  | Assemblies |  | Solutions |  | Total |
Goodwill at December 31, 2015 |  | $ | 2,569.2 |  | $ | 123.7 |  | $ | 2,692.9 |
Acquisition-related |  |  | 971.5 |  |  | 17.9 |  |  | 989.4 |
Foreign currency translation |  |  | 25.5 |  |  | — |  |  | 25.5 |
Goodwill at September 30, 2016 |  | $ | 3,566.2 |  | $ | 141.6 |  | $ | 3,707.8 |

The increase in goodwill, net of foreign currency translation, during the first nine months of 2016 is primarily due to the acquisition of FCI on January 8, 2016, which is included in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment. The increase in goodwill in the Cable Products and Solutions segment resulted from one acquisition which closed during the third quarter of 2016.

The Company performs its annual evaluation for the impairment of goodwill for the Company’s reporting units as of each July 1. The Company has defined its reporting units as the two reportable business segments “Interconnect Products and Assemblies” and “Cable Products and Solutions”. In 2016, the Company utilized the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In accordance with applicable guidance, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment of events and circumstances, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. As of July 1, 2016, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units is greater than their carrying amounts. The Company has not recognized any goodwill impairment in 2016, 2015 or 2014 in connection with its annual impairment test.

Other than goodwill noted above, as well as indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets of approximately $186.1 and $52.3 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the Company’s intangible assets are subject to amortization. A summary of the Company’s amortizable intangible assets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

|  | September 30, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015 |
|  | Gross |  |  |  | Net |  | Gross |  |  |  | Net |
|  | Carrying |  | Accumulated |  | Carrying |  | Carrying |  | Accumulated |  | Carrying |
|  | Amount |  | Amortization |  | Amount |  | Amount |  | Amortization |  | Amount |
Customer relationships |  | $ | 385.7 |  | $ | 149.8 |  | $ | 235.9 |  | $ | 315.6 |  | $ | 122.6 |  | $ | 193.0 |
Proprietary technology |  |  | 106.7 |  |  | 38.4 |  |  | 68.3 |  |  | 53.8 |  |  | 30.9 |  |  | 22.9 |
License agreements |  |  | 6.0 |  |  | 6.0 |  |  | — |  |  | 6.0 |  |  | 6.0 |  |  | — |
Backlog and other |  |  | 28.0 |  |  | 27.5 |  |  | 0.5 |  |  | 19.7 |  |  | 19.2 |  |  | 0.5 |
Total |  | $ | 526.4 |  | $ | 221.7 |  | $ | 304.7 |  | $ | 395.1 |  | $ | 178.7 |  | $ | 216.4 |

Customer relationships, proprietary technology, license agreements, and backlog and other amortizable intangible assets have weighted average useful lives of approximately 10 years, 11 years, 8 years and 1 year, respectively, for an aggregate weighted average useful life of approximately 10 years at September 30, 2016.

Intangible assets are included in Intangibles and other long-term assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $11.6 and $8.9, respectively. The amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $42.8 and $25.6, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, amortization expense estimated for the remainder of 2016 is approximately $11.9 and for each of the next five fiscal years is approximately $47.8 in 2017, $43.7 in 2018, $39.5 in 2019, $33.4 in 2020 and $28.8 in 2021.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 1, 2016, the Company replaced its $1,500.0 unsecured credit facility with a new $2,000.0 unsecured credit facility (the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which matures March 2021, increases the aggregate commitments by $500.0 and gives the Company the ability to borrow at a spread over LIBOR. The Company intends to utilize the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2016 there were no borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility requires payment of certain annual agency and commitment fees and requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2016 the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility.

Commercial Paper Program

The Company has a commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) pursuant to which the Company issues short-term unsecured commercial paper notes (“Commercial Paper”) in one or more private placements. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program are borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The maturities of the Commercial Paper vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The Commercial Paper is sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par, or, alternatively, may be sold at par, and bears varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The Commercial Paper Program is rated A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-2 by Moody’s and is backstopped by the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Effective April 1, 2016, the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Commercial Paper outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program at any time was increased by $500.0 from $1,500.0 to $2,000.0. The Commercial Paper is classified as long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the Commercial Paper on a long-term basis using the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. The carrying value of Commercial Paper borrowings approximated their fair value given that the Commercial Paper is actively traded. As such, the Commercial Paper is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 14). The average interest rate on the Commercial Paper as of September 30, 2016 was 0.80%.

Senior Notes

All of the Company’s outstanding senior notes, which are listed in the table above, are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest on each series of the senior notes

17

Table of Contents

is payable semiannually. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of any series of senior notes at any time by paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, and if redeemed prior to the date of maturity, a make-whole premium. The fair value of the senior notes is based on recent bid prices in an active market and is therefore classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 14). The 1.55% Senior Notes are due in September 2017 and are therefore recorded, net of the related unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, within Current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. These requirements establish market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values. Assumptions based on hypothetical transactions are used in the absence of market inputs. The Company does not have any non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

The valuation techniques required are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The Company believes that the assets or liabilities subject to such standards with fair value disclosure requirements are short-term investments and derivative instruments. Substantially all of the Company’s short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities of twelve months or less and as such, are considered as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as they are traded in active markets which have identical assets. The carrying amounts of these instruments, the majority of which are in non-U.S. bank accounts, approximate their fair value. The Company’s derivative instruments represent foreign exchange rate forward contracts, which are valued using bank quotations based on market observable inputs such as forward and spot rates and are therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The impact of the credit risk related to these financial assets is immaterial. The fair values of the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities subject to such standards at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

|  | Fair Value Measurements |
|  |  |  |  | Quoted Prices in |  | Significant |  | Significant |
|  |  |  |  | Active Markets |  | Observable |  | Unobservable |
|  |  |  |  | for Identical |  | Inputs |  | Inputs |
|  | Total |  | Assets (Level 1) |  | (Level 2) |  | (Level 3) |
September 30, 2016: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Short-term investments |  | $ | 163.3 |  | $ | 163.3 |  | $ | — |  | $ | — |

The Company does not have any significant financial or non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The amount recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with foreign exchange rate forward contracts and the amount reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to foreign exchange gain (loss) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was not material. The fair values of the forward contracts are recorded within Other current assets, Intangibles and other long-term assets, Other accrued expenses or Accrued pension benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on their value and remaining contractual period.

Note 15—Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2016 was at an effective rate of 26.9% and 27.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2016 included the effect of acquisition-related expenses incurred during such periods, which had the impact of increasing the effective tax rate by 40 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015 was at an effective tax rate of 26.5% and 26.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2015 included the effect of acquisition-related expenses incurred during such period, which had the impact of increasing the effective tax rate by 20 basis points.

The Company operates in the U.S. and numerous foreign taxable jurisdictions, and at any point in time has numerous audits underway at various stages of completion. With few exceptions, the Company is subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years 2011 and after. The Company is generally not able to precisely estimate the ultimate settlement amounts or timing until the close of an audit. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by tax authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite the Company’s belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. As of September 30, 2016 the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized would impact the effective tax rate, was approximately $125.5, which is included in Accrued pension benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitation. Based on information currently available, management anticipates that over the next twelve-month period, audit activity could be completed and statutes of limitation may close relating to existing unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $6.6.

Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015

Net sales were $1,635.9 in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $1,459.6 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 12% in U.S. dollars, 13% in constant currencies and 2% organically over the prior year quarter. Net sales for the first nine months of 2016 were $4,635.3 compared to $4,138.2 in the same period in 2015, an increase of 12% in U.S. dollars, 13% in constant currencies and 1% organically over the prior year period. Net sales in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 (approximately 94% of net sales) increased 12% in U.S. dollars and 13% in constant currencies compared to the same periods in 2015. The sales growth was driven primarily by growth in the information technology and data communications, industrial, mobile networks, automotive, commercial aerospace and military markets arising from contributions from the Company’s acquisitions as well as organic strength, offset in part by a decline in sales in the mobile devices market. Net sales in the Cable Products and Solutions segment in the third quarter of 2016 (approximately 6% of net sales) increased 14% in U.S. dollars and 13% in constant currencies compared to the same period in 2015, and increased 8% in U.S. dollars and 10% in constant currencies in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in Cable Products and Solutions sales relates primarily to the sales increase in the broadband communications market.

Geographically, sales in the United States in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 increased approximately 2% and nil, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015 ($448.3 and $1,276.8, respectively, in 2016 versus $438.7 and $1,278.9, respectively, in 2015). International sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 increased approximately 16% and 17% in U.S. dollars, respectively, and 17% and 19% in constant currencies, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015 ($1,187.6 and $3,358.5, respectively, in 2016 versus $1,020.9 and $2,859.3, respectively, in 2015). The comparatively stronger U.S. dollar for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 had the effect of decreasing sales by approximately $11.9 and $40.3, respectively, when compared to foreign currency translation rates for the same periods in 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $204.7 or 12.5% of net sales and $591.3 or 12.8% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, compared to $169.2 or 11.6% of net sales and $499.7 or 12.1% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. The increase is driven primarily by the acquisition of FCI, which has higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales than the average of the Company. Administrative expenses represented approximately 4.8% and 5.0% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, and represented approximately 4.8% and 4.9% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. Research and development expenses represented approximately 2.6% of net sales for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, and represented approximately 2.0% and 2.2% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses represented approximately 5.1% and 5.2% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, and represented 4.8% and 5.0% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively.

Operating income was $326.3 or 19.9% of net sales and $866.1 or 18.7% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, compared to $294.8 or 20.2% of net sales and $815.7 or 19.7% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. Operating income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 includes $6.3 and $36.6, respectively, of acquisition-related expenses (separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income). The $6.3 ($5.8 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2016 relates to transaction costs associated with 2016 acquisitions. The acquisition-related expenses for the first nine months of 2016 also include a charge of $30.3 ($27.3 after-tax) incurred during the first quarter of 2016, for external transaction costs, amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog and post-closing

restructuring charges related to the FCI acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, these expenses had an impact on net income of $5.8 and $33.1, or $0.02 and $0.11 per share, respectively. Operating income for the first nine months of 2015 includes $5.7 of acquisition-related transaction expenses (separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income). For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, these expenses had an impact on net income of $5.7, or $0.02 per share. Excluding the effect of these acquisition-related expenses, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin, as defined in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below, were $332.6 or 20.3% of net sales and $902.7 or 19.5% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, and $294.8 or 20.2% of net sales and $821.4 or 19.8% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted Operating Margin for the first nine months of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, relates to the decrease in operating margin for the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment. Operating income for the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 was $342.0 or 22.2% of net sales and $932.2 or 21.3% of net sales, respectively, compared to $307.4 or 22.3% of net sales and $856.3 or 22.0% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. The decrease in operating margin for the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment, primarily in the nine-month period, is driven by the acquisition of FCI, which had a lower operating margin than the average of the Company. Operating income for the Cable Products and Solutions segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 was $13.8 or 14.9% of net sales and $38.6 or 14.4% of net sales, respectively, compared to $10.2 or 12.5% of net sales and $30.2 or 12.1% of net sales, respectively, in the same periods in 2015. The increase in operating margin for the Cable Products and Solutions segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily resulted from strong operating execution on additional volume, along with the favorable impact from commodities.

The table below reconciles Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

|  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
|  | Operating |  | Operating |  | Operating |  | Operating |
Three months ended September 30: |  | income |  | margin |  | income |  | margin |
Reported (GAAP) |  | $ | 326.3 |  | 19.9 | % |  | $ | 294.8 |  | 20.2 | % |
Acquisition-related expenses |  |  | 6.3 |  | 0.4 | % |  |  | — |  | — | % |
Adjusted (non-GAAP) |  | $ | 332.6 |  | 20.3 | % |  | $ | 294.8 |  | 20.2 | % |
Nine months ended September 30: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Reported (GAAP) |  | $ | 866.1 |  | 18.7 | % |  | $ | 815.7 |  | 19.7 | % |
Acquisition-related expenses |  |  | 36.6 |  | 0.8 | % |  |  | 5.7 |  | 0.1 | % |
Adjusted (non-GAAP) |  | $ | 902.7 |  | 19.5 | % |  | $ | 821.4 |  | 19.8 | % |

Interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 was $18.1 and $54.2, respectively, compared to $17.0 and $51.1 for the same periods in 2015, respectively. The increase in both periods is primarily attributable to the impact of higher average debt levels in 2016 which primarily resulted from the Company’s dividend and stock buyback programs.

Other income, net, decreased to $2.3 and $5.0 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, compared to $4.2 and $12.5 for the same periods in 2015, respectively, primarily related to lower interest income on lower cash equivalents and short-term investments, which resulted from the funding of the acquisition of FCI in January 2016 with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside of the United States.

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2016 was at an effective rate of 26.9% and 27.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2016 included the effect of acquisition-related expenses incurred during such periods, which had the impact of increasing the effective tax rate by 40 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015 was at an effective tax rate of 26.5% and 26.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2015 included the effect of acquisition-related expenses incurred during such period, which had the impact of increasing the effective tax rate by 20 basis points.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $728.7 in the first nine months of 2016 compared to $708.2 in the same 2015 period. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 is primarily related to the increase in net income for the first nine months of 2016 and the higher non-cash charges resulting from the increase in depreciation and amortization related to the FCI acquisition, which were partially offset by a higher usage of cash related to the change in working capital. Working capital as presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow increased $27.4, excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, in the first nine months of 2016 due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $99.2, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities of $48.7 and decreases in other current assets and inventories of $10.4 and $9.9, respectively. Working capital as presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow increased $7.0, excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, in the first nine months of 2015 due primarily to increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $65.1 and $31.7, respectively, which were partially offset by a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of $13.0, and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $46.7 and $30.1, respectively.

The following describes the significant changes in the amounts as presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015. Accounts receivable increased $214.8 to $1,319.4 primarily due to the impact of the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions as well as an increase in sales volume in the third quarter of 2016. Days sales outstanding at both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was approximately 71 days. Inventories increased $74.8 to $926.6, primarily due to the impact of the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions. Inventory days at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 75 and 79 days, respectively. Land and depreciable assets, net, increased $108.1 to $717.6 primarily due to the impact of the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions, as well as capital expenditures of $136.3, partially offset by depreciation of $117.5. Goodwill increased $1,014.9 to $3,707.8 primarily as a result of goodwill recognized during the period related to three acquisitions in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment, including FCI, and one acquisition in the Cable Products and Solutions segment. Intangibles and other long-term assets increased $233.2 to $539.2 primarily as a result of the identifiable intangible assets recognized related to the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions, partially offset by amortization. Accounts payable increased $62.9 to $650.7 primarily as a result of the impact of the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions. Payable days at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 53 and 54 days, respectively. Total accrued expenses increased $68.0 to $488.3 primarily as a result of the impact of the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions. Accrued pension benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities increased $145.2 to $503.6 primarily as a result of the impact of the FCI and other 2016 acquisitions specifically related to an increase in both contingent tax liabilities and pension benefit obligations.

For the first nine months of 2016, cash flow provided by operating activities of $728.7, proceeds from the exercise of stock options including tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements of $154.0, net borrowings of $145.8, and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $883.6 were used to fund acquisitions of $1,272.6, purchases of treasury stock of $229.6, net purchases of short-term investments of $140.0, capital expenditures (net of disposals) of $132.3, dividend payments of $129.4, payments to shareholders of noncontrolling interests of $5.8, and payments of costs related to the refinancing of our revolving credit facility of $3.0. The effect of translation resulting from exchange rate changes at September 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 (“Translation”) had the impact of increasing cash and cash equivalents by $0.6 in the first nine months of 2016. For the first nine months of 2015, cash flow provided by operating activities of $708.2, net sales and maturities of short-term investments of $337.6, net borrowings of $180.1 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options including tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements of $55.2 were used to fund acquisitions of $199.8, purchases of treasury stock of $195.6, capital expenditures (net of disposals) of $124.1, dividend payments of $116.1, and payments to shareholders of noncontrolling interests of $6.1, resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $606.7, net of Translation. Translation had the impact of decreasing cash and cash equivalents by $32.7 in the first nine months of 2015.

The ability to generate cash from operating activities is one of the Company’s fundamental financial strengths. As a result, the Company has significant flexibility to meet its financial commitments. The Company uses debt financing to lower the overall cost of capital and increase return on stockholders’ equity. The Company has been, and continues to be, able to borrow funds at reasonable interest rates. The Company’s debt financing includes the use of the commercial paper program, the revolving credit facility and senior notes as part of its overall cash management strategy.

On March 1, 2016, the Company replaced its $1,500.0 unsecured credit facility with a new $2,000.0 unsecured credit facility (the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which matures March 2021, increases the aggregate commitments by $500.0 and gives the Company the ability to borrow at a spread over LIBOR. The Company intends to utilize the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2016, there were no borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility requires payment of certain annual agency and commitment fees and requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the commercial paper program, the Company issues short-term unsecured commercial paper notes in one or more private placements (the “Commercial Paper Program”). Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program are borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The Commercial Paper Program is rated A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-2 by Moody’s and is backstopped by the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Effective April 1, 2016, the maximum aggregate principal amount of the commercial paper notes that may be outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program at any time was increased by $500.0 from $1,500.0 to $2,000.0. The amount of commercial paper notes outstanding as of September 30, 2016 was $982.1. The Company reviews its optimal mix of short-term and long-term debt regularly and may replace certain amounts of commercial paper, short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt with new issuances of long-term debt in the future.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has outstanding senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) as follows:

Principal |  | Interest |  |  |
Amount |  | Rate |  | Maturity |
$ | 375.0 |  | 1.55 | % | September 2017 |
| 750.0 |  | 2.55 | % | January 2019 |
| 375.0 |  | 3.125 | % | September 2021 |
| 500.0 |  | 4.00 | % | February 2022 |

The Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest on each series of the Senior Notes is payable semiannually. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of any series of Senior Notes at any time by paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, and if redeemed prior to the date of maturity, a make-whole premium. The 1.55% Senior Notes are due in September 2017 and are therefore recorded, net of the related unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, within Current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.

Refer to Note 13 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s debt.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow, the Commercial Paper Program, the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company expects that ongoing cash requirements will be funded from these sources; however, the Company’s sources of liquidity could be adversely affected by, among other things, a decrease in demand for the Company’s products or a deterioration in certain of the Company’s financial ratios. However, management believes that the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment position, ability to generate strong cash flow from operations, availability under its credit facilities, and access to capital markets provide adequate liquidity to meet its obligations for the next twelve months, including the repayment of its 1.55% Senior Notes due in September 2017.

The Company’s primary ongoing cash requirements will be for operating and capital expenditures, product development activities, repurchases of its Common Stock, funding of pension obligations, dividends and debt service. The Company may also use cash to fund all or part of the cost of acquisitions, as was done with the acquisition of FCI as discussed above. The Company generally pays a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock. In the third quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend rate from $0.125 to $0.14 per share effective with dividends declared in the third quarter of 2015, and in October 2016, approved a further increase in the

24

Table of Contents

quarterly dividend rate from $0.14 to $0.16 per share effective with dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid dividends in the amount of $43.1 and $129.4, respectively, and declared dividends in the amount of $43.2 and $129.5, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company paid dividends in the amount of $38.6 and $116.1, respectively, and declared dividends in the amount of $43.2 and $120.5, respectively. The Company’s debt service requirements consist primarily of principal and interest on the Senior Notes, the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the Commercial Paper Program.

In January 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 10 million shares of Common Stock during the two-year period ending January 20, 2017 (the “2015 Stock Repurchase Program”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of Common Stock for $229.6. These treasury shares have been retired by the Company and common stock and retained earnings were reduced accordingly. Through October 31, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million additional shares of Common Stock for $63.3. At October 31, 2016, approximately 0.5 million additional shares of Common Stock may be repurchased under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program. The price and timing of any future purchases under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends, economic and market conditions and stock price.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans (the “Plans”) of approximately $16.0, and estimates that, based on current actuarial calculations, it will make aggregate cash contributions to the Plans in 2016 of approximately $22.0, the majority of which will be to the U.S. Plans. The timing and amount of cash contributions in subsequent years will depend on a number of factors, including the investment performance of the plan assets.

Environmental Matters

Certain operations of the Company are subject to environmental laws and regulations which govern the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, as well as the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. The Company believes that its operations are currently in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that the costs of continuing compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to assessing the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, management utilizes each of the following non-GAAP financial measures as part of its internal reviews for purposes of monitoring, evaluating and forecasting the Company’s financial performance, communicating operating results to the Company's Board of Directors and assessing related employee compensation measures. Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance, trends and period-over-period comparative results, in addition to the reasons noted below. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company's operating performance during the periods presented. Items excluded from non-GAAP financial measures in any period may consist of, without limitation, acquisition-related expenses, certain discrete tax items and refinancing-related costs that may arise during such periods. The following non-GAAP financial information is included for supplemental purposes only and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to the related GAAP financial measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily the same or comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as such measures may be calculated differently or may exclude different items.

Table of Contents

The following non-GAAP financial measures are defined below and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are included in “Results of Operations”:

| · |  | Adjusted Operating Income is defined as Operating income, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, excluding income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company's operating performance during the periods presented.

| · |  | Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income (as defined above) expressed as a percentage of Net sales (as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income).

| · |  | Organic Net Sales Growth is defined as the period-over-period percentage change in net sales growth resulting from operating volume and pricing changes, and excludes the impact of 1) changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which directly impact the Company’s operating results and are outside the control of the Company, and 2) acquisitions closed during the periods presented, which were not included in the Company’s results as of the comparable prior year periods and which do not reflect the underlying growth of the Company on a comparative basis. Management evaluates the Company’s sales performance based on actual sales growth in U.S. dollars, as well as constant currency net sales growth and net sales growth on an organic basis, and believes that such information is useful to investors to assess the underlying sales trends by providing sales growth from a comparability perspective.

| · |  | Constant Currency Net Sales Growth is defined as the period-over-period percentage change in net sales growth, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Amphenol is subject to volatility related to foreign currency translation fluctuations. As such, management evaluates the Company’s sales performance based on actual sales growth in U.S. dollars, as well as organic net sales growth and net sales growth on a constant currency basis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. There has been no material change in the Company’s assessment of its sensitivity to foreign currency exchange rate risk since its presentation set forth in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in its 2015 Annual Report. The Company may borrow under its 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program, each of which bears interest at or trades at rates that fluctuate with LIBOR. Therefore, when the Company borrows under these debt instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2016, there were no LIBOR-based borrowings outstanding under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program were at an average rate of 0.80%. The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows in 2016, although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not change significantly.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal actions in which various amounts are claimed arising from normal business activities. Although the potential liability with respect to such legal actions cannot be reasonably estimated, such matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Repurchase of Equity Securities

In January 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 10 million shares of Common Stock during the two-year period ending January 20, 2017 (the “2015 Stock Repurchase Program”). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 2.0 million and 4.0 million shares of Common Stock for approximately $121.2 million and $229.6 million, respectively. These treasury shares have been retired by the Company and common stock and retained earnings were reduced accordingly. The price and timing of any future purchases under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends, economic and market conditions and stock price. Through October 31, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million additional shares of Common Stock for $63.3 million. At October 31, 2016, approximately 0.5 million additional shares of Common Stock may be repurchased under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program. The table below reflects the Company’s stock repurchases for the three months ended September 30, 2016:
