Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Net revenue decreased 16.6% year-over-year. The Connected Living and Digital Commerce segment saw a 46% drop, primarily due to the divestiture of the Mobility Business in the prior year. The Intelligent Infrastructure segment grew 5%, driven by cloud and data center demand, while Regulated Industries declined 7%.
- Profitability Pressure: Gross margin compressed to 8.7% from 9.2%, attributed to product mix shifts in the Connected Living segment. Operating income fell 35% to $197 million.
- Restructuring Charges: The Company recorded $83 million in restructuring, severance, and related charges, down from $127 million in the prior year. This includes costs associated with the new 2025 Restructuring Plan.

- Acquisitions: Completed the acquisition of Mikros Technologies LLC for $63 million to enhance liquid cooling solutions for AI infrastructure.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

- Capital Expenditures: Net capital expenditures for Fiscal 2025 are anticipated to be in the range of 1.5% to 2.0% of net revenue.
- Share Repurchases: As of January 2, 2025, $364 million remains available under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program. The Company also entered into Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) agreements totaling $310 million in December 2024.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Segment Reclassification: Verify the impact of the new three-segment reporting structure on historical comparability and future growth projections.
- Restructuring Execution: Monitor the timing and actual cost of the 2025 Restructuring Plan against the $150M-$200M guidance.
- AI Infrastructure Growth: Assess the sustainability of the 5% revenue growth in the Intelligent Infrastructure segment driven by AI and data center demand.
- Working Capital Trends: Review the increase in Days Sales Outstanding (48 days) and Days in Inventory (76 days) to ensure they do not signal collection or obsolescence issues.
- Divestiture Impact: Confirm that the revenue decline in Connected Living is fully attributable to the prior Mobility Business divestiture and not broader market weakness.
