Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Net revenue decreased 0.6% quarter-over-quarter and 9.4% year-over-year (YTD). The decline is primarily driven by the Connected Living and Digital Commerce segment, which saw a 13% quarterly drop due to the divestiture of the Mobility Business in the prior year.
- Segment Performance:
- Intelligent Infrastructure: Revenue increased 18% (Q2) and 12% (YTD), driven by growth in cloud/data center infrastructure and capital equipment.
- Regulated Industries: Revenue decreased 8% (Q2) and 8% (YTD), impacted by lower demand in automotive and healthcare sectors.
- Profitability Impact: GAAP Net Income dropped significantly compared to the prior year ($117M vs. $927M) primarily because the prior year included a $944 million pre-tax gain from the divestiture of the Mobility Business. Excluding this one-time gain, Core Operating Income remained relatively stable at $334M (Q2 2025) vs. $338M (Q2 2024).
- Restructuring: The company incurred $45 million in restructuring charges in Q2 2025 (part of the 2025 Restructuring Plan), compared to $70 million in the prior year quarter.
- Acquisitions: The company completed the acquisition of Pharmaceutics International, Inc. (Pii) for $307 million in February 2025 and Mikros Technologies for $63 million in October 2024.

- Segment Mix Shift: Confirm the sustainability of growth in the Intelligent Infrastructure segment (AI/Data Center) versus the decline in Connected Living post-Mobility divestiture.
- Working Capital Trends: Review the increase in Days Sales Outstanding (50 days) and Days in Inventory (80 days) compared to the prior year, noting management's attribution to timing of payments and sales.
- Restructuring Execution: Monitor the progress of the 2025 Restructuring Plan against the $150M-$200M cost estimate and the associated cash outflows.
