(amounts included in the following Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

are presented in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise noted)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and each of the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, include the accounts of Amphenol Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Amphenol,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”).

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 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, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

Note 2—New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which amends ASC 280. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is to improve the disclosures around a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses by requiring entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis: (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and (ii) an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, which represents the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Furthermore, entities will be required to: (i) provide all annual disclosures about a segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required under ASC 280 on an interim basis as well, (ii) clarify that an entity is not precluded from reporting additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and (iii) disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The intent of ASU 2023-09 is to improve the disclosures around a company’s rate reconciliation information and certain types of income taxes companies are required to pay. Specifically, these new disclosure requirements will provide more transparency regarding income taxes companies pay in the United States and other countries, along with more disclosure around a company’s rate reconciliation, among other new disclosure requirements, such that users of financial statements can get better information about how the operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities of companies affect their effective tax rates and future cash flow prospects. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments under ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The

Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement, which amended and restated its $2,500.0 unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing the lenders’ aggregate unsecured revolving commitments under the facility by $500.0 to $3,000.0 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures in March 2029 and gives the Company and certain of its subsidiaries the ability to borrow, in various currencies, at a spread that varies, based on the Company’s debt rating, over certain currency-specific benchmark rates, which benchmark rates, in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings, are either the base rate or the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn on the date of the amendment. The Company may utilize the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there wereno outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility then in effect. The carrying value of any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would approximate their fair value, primarily due to their market interest rates, and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 5). Any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Revolving Credit Facility requires payment of certain annual agency and commitment fees and requires that the

Company satisfy certain financial covenants. On March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Term Loan Credit Facility

On April 19, 2022, the Company entered into atwo-year, $750.0 unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”), which was scheduled to mature on April 19, 2024. The Term Loan was undrawn at closing and was permitted to be drawn on up tofive occasions over the life of the facility. The Term Loan could be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, and, once repaid, could not be reborrowed. If drawn upon, the proceeds from the Term Loan were expected to be used for general corporate purposes. Interest rates under the Term Loan were based on a spread over either the base rate or the adjusted term SOFR, which spread varied based on the Company’s debt rating. The carrying value of any borrowings under the Term Loan would approximate their fair value, primarily due to its market interest rates, and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 5). As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not drawn upon the Term Loan, and, as such, there wereno outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan. The Term Loan required payment of certain commitment fees and required that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. On March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Term Loan. The Term Loan matured on April 19, 2024 without the Company drawing upon it throughout its term.

Commercial Paper Programs

The Company has a commercial paper program (the “U.S. Commercial Paper Program”) pursuant to which the Company may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes (the “USCP Notes” or “U.S. Commercial Paper”) in one or more private placements in the United States. The maturities of the USCP Notes vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The USCP Notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at par or a discount therefrom, and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. On March 21, 2024, in conjunction with the increase in the capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company increased the borrowings available under its U.S. Commercial Paper Program by$500.0. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of USCP Notes at any time is$3,000.0. The Company utilizes borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes, which, in recent years, have included fully or partially funding acquisitions, as well as repaying certain outstanding senior notes. The Company borrowed under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program throughout much of the first quarter of 2024, the proceeds of which were used for general corporate purposes. Before the end of the first quarter of 2024, the Company repaid all of its USCP Notes then outstanding. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there wereno USCP Notes outstanding.

The Company andone of its wholly owned European subsidiaries (the “Euro Issuer”) also have a commercial paper program (the “Euro Commercial Paper Program” and, together with the U.S. Commercial Paper Program, the “Commercial Paper Programs”), pursuant to which the Euro Issuer may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes (the “ECP Notes” and, together with the USCP Notes, the “Commercial Paper”), which are guaranteed by the Company and are to be issued outside of the United States. The maturities of the ECP Notes will vary but may not exceed 183 days from the date of issue. The ECP Notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at par or a discount therefrom or a premium thereto and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The ECP Notes may be issued in Euros, Sterling, U.S. dollars or other currencies. The maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of ECP Notes at any time is$2,000.0. The Company utilizes borrowings under the Euro Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes, which may include, for example, fully or partially funding acquisitions. The Company did not borrow under the Euro Commercial Paper Program during the first quarter of 2024, and, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there wereno ECP Notes outstanding.

Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Programs may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. In conjunction with the Revolving Credit Facility, as of March 31, 2024, the authorization from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) limits the maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of USCP Notes, ECP Notes, and any other commercial paper or similar programs, along with outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, at any time to$3,000.0 in the aggregate. The Commercial Paper Programs are rated A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-2 by Moody’s and, based on the Board’s authorization described above, are currently backstopped by the

Revolving Credit Facility, as amounts undrawn under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility are available to repay Commercial Paper, if necessary. Net proceeds of the issuances of Commercial Paper are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. Any outstanding 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 Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. The carrying value of Commercial Paper approximates its fair value, primarily due to its market interest rates, and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 5).

U.S. Senior Notes

On April 5, 2024, the Company issued three series of unsecured senior notes (collectively, the “New Senior Notes”): (i)$450.0 aggregate principal amount of unsecured 5.050% Senior Notes due April 5, 2027 at 99.887% of face value (the “2027 Senior Notes”), (ii) $450.0 aggregate principal amount of unsecured 5.050% Senior Notes due April 5, 2029 at 99.900% of face value (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and (iii) $600.0 aggregate principal amount of unsecured 5.250% Senior Notes due April 5, 2034 at 99.900% of face value (the “2034 Senior Notes”). The New Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, including the Company’s guarantee of the Euro Issuer’s obligations under the Euro Notes. Interest on the New Senior Notes is payable semiannually on April 5 and October 5 of each year, commencing on October 5, 2024. Prior to March 5, 2027, the Company may redeem, from time to time, some or all of the 2027 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a make-whole premium. Prior to March 5, 2029, the Company may redeem, from time to time, some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a make-whole premium. Prior to January 5, 2034, the Company may redeem, from time to time, some or all of the 2034 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a make-whole premium. On or after such dates, the Company may redeem, from time to time, some or all of the respective series of the New Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. If the Company’s pending acquisition of the Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT”) business is not consummated on or prior to an agreed upon date or if the Company notifies the trustee that the acquisition will not be pursued at all, under certain circumstances, each series of the New Senior Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption, at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of initial issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, whichever is later, to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date. Absent a special mandatory redemption, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the New Senior Notes, together with a combination of cash on hand and other debt financing (which could include borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and/or U.S. Commercial Paper Program), to fund the cash consideration for the Company’s pending CIT acquisition, as discussed in further detail in Note 11 herein, along with the fees and expenses related thereto. To the extent that the net proceeds from the New Senior Notes are not used for such purposes, such net proceeds shall be used for general corporate purposes.

On April 1, 2024, the Company used cash on hand to repay the $350.0 aggregate principal amount of unsecured 3.20% Senior Notes due April 1, 2024 upon maturity.

On March 30, 2023, the Company issued $350.0 aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.750% Senior Notes due March 30, 2026 at 99.658% of face value (the “2026 Senior Notes”). The 2026 Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, including the Company’s guarantee of the Euro Issuer’s obligations under the Euro Notes. Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on March 30 and September 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2023. The Company may redeem, from time to time at its option, some or all of the 2026 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, plus a make-whole premium. The Company used the net proceeds from the 2026 Senior Notes to repay certain outstanding borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program.

All of the Company’s outstanding senior notes in the United States (the “U.S. Senior Notes”) are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, including the Company’s guarantee of the Euro Issuer’s obligations under the Euro Notes. Interest on each series of U.S. Senior Notes is payable semiannually. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of any series of U.S. Senior Notes at any time, subject to certain terms and conditions, which include paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, and, with certain exceptions, a make-whole premium.

Euro Senior Notes

The Euro Issuer hastwo outstanding unsecured senior notes issued in Europe (collectively, the “Euro Notes” and the Euro Notes, together with the U.S. Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”), each of which was issued with an aggregate principal amount of €500.0. The 0.750% Euro Senior Notes, which were issued in May 2020 at 99.563% of face value, mature on May 4, 2026, while the 2.000%Euro Senior Notes, which were issued in October 2018 at 99.498% of face value, mature on October 8, 2028. The Euro Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Euro Issuer’s senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company. Interest on each series of Euro Notes is payable annually. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of either series of Euro Notes at any time, subject to certain terms and conditions, which include paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, and, with certain exceptions, a make-whole premium.

The fair value of each series of 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 5). The Senior Notes impose certain obligations on the Company and prohibit various actions by the Company unless it satisfies certain financial requirements. On March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all requirements under its Senior Notes.

Note 5—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 currently subject to such standards with fair value disclosure requirements are primarily (i) debt instruments, (ii) pension plan assets, (iii) short- and long-term investments, (iv) derivative instruments and (v) assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed as part of acquisition accounting. Each of these assets and liabilities is discussed below, with the exception of debt instruments, pension plan assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed as part of acquisition accounting, which are discussed in Note 4, Note 10 and Note 11, respectively, herein, in addition to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report. Substantially all of the Company’s short- and long-term investments consist of certificates of deposit, which are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Long-term investments are recorded in Other long-term assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amounts of these short- and long-term instruments, the vast majority of which are in non-U.S. bank accounts, approximate their respective fair values. The Company’s derivative instruments primarily consist of foreign exchange 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 derivative financial assets is immaterial.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis and determines the appropriate classification of such assets and liabilities subject to the fair value hierarchy standards based on, among other things, the ability to observe valuation inputs. The fair values of the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities subject to such standards as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts, hedging instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, in the management of foreign currency exposures. In addition, the Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, accounted for as net investment hedges, to hedge our exposure to variability in the U.S. dollar equivalent of the net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company hadno outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as either net investment hedges orcash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of such foreign exchange forward contracts in the table above consisted of various outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with foreign exchange forward contracts, as well as the amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to foreign exchange gain (loss), included in Cost of sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were not material. The fair values of the Company’s forward contracts are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, Other long-term assets, Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on their value and remaining contractual period.

Certain acquisitions may result in noncontrolling interest holders who, in certain cases, are entitled to a put option, giving them the ability to put some or all of their redeemable interest in the shares of the acquiree to the Company. Specifically, if exercised by the noncontrolling interest holder, Amphenol would be required to purchase some or all of the option holder’s redeemable interest, at a redemption price during specified time period(s) stipulated in the respective acquisition agreement. The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to recent acquisitions, which, based on the terms of the respective acquisition agreements, will remain in temporary equity until the applicable put option is either fully exercised or expires. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is generally calculated using Level 3 unobservable inputs based on a multiple of earnings, which, for the redeemable noncontrolling interests currently outstanding, approximate fair value. As such, the redemption value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and is recorded as Redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 7 herein for a rollforward of the Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

With the exception of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisition accounting, the Company does not have any other significant financial or non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Provision for income taxes​$(110.7)​$(117.2)​
Effective tax rate​16.7%20.9%

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, stock option exercise activity had the impact of decreasing our Provision for income taxes by $29.7 and $17.1, respectively, and decreasing our effective tax rate by approximately 450 basis points and 310 basis points, respectively, due to the recognition of excess tax benefits within Provision for income taxes in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a discrete tax benefit of$18.6, related to the settlement of tax audits and associated lapses of statutes of limitation, along with a difference in a non-U.S. tax filing position, had the effect of decreasing our effective tax rate by approximately 280 basis points. Acquisition-related expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 had an immaterial effect on our effective tax rate.

The United States federal government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) in December 2017. As a result, in 2017, the Company recorded a transition tax (“Transition Tax”) related to the deemed repatriation of the accumulated unremitted earnings and profits of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company expects to pay its seventh annual installment of the Transition Tax, net of applicable tax credits and deductions, in the second quarter of 2024, and will pay the balance of the Transition Tax, net of applicable tax credits and deductions, in 2025, as permitted under the Tax Act. The current and long-term portions of the Transition Tax are recorded in Accrued income taxes and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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 2017 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 March 31, 2024, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, which if recognized would impact the effective tax rate, was approximately$201.5. Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing

facts and circumstances, including the progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitations. Based on information currently available, management anticipates that over the next 12-month period, audit activity could be completed and statutes of limitations may close relating to existing unrecognized tax benefits of approximately$24.8.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), a tax and spending package that introduces several tax-related provisions, including a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on certain large corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain corporate stock repurchases. Companies are required to reassess their valuation allowances for certain affected deferred tax assets in the period of enactment but do not need to remeasure deferred tax balances for the related tax accounting implications of the CAMT. The IRA provisions, which became effective for Amphenol beginning on January 1, 2023, did not have a material impact on the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. While the full impact of these provisions in the future depends on several factors, including interpretive regulatory guidance, which has not yet been released, the Company does not currently believe that the provisions of the IRA, including several other non-tax related provisions, will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is classified below net income. Earnings per share is determined after the impact of the noncontrolling interests’ share in net income of the Company. In addition, the equity attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented as a separate caption within equity.

Stock Repurchase Programs

On April 27, 2021, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $2,000.0 of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) during thethree-year period ending April 27, 2024 (the “2021 Stock Repurchase Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of its Common Stock for $153.8 under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program. All of therepurchased shares during the first three months of 2024 were retired by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of its Common Stock for $166.9 under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program. All of therepurchased shares during the first three months of 2023 were retired by the Company. From April 1, 2024 to April 26, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.6 million additional shares of its Common Stock for $71.8, which were the final repurchases under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program.

On April 23, 2024, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $2,000.0 of the Company’s Common Stock during thethree-year period ending on the close of business on April 28, 2027 (the “2024 Stock Repurchase Program”). The 2024 Stock Repurchase Program becomes effective on April 29, 2024. Thetiming and amount of any future repurchases will depend on a number of factors, such as the levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock options exercised by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends paid, economic and market conditions and the price of the Common Stock.

Dividends

Contingent upon declaration by the Board, the Company pays a quarterly dividend on shares of its Common Stock. The following table summarizes the dividends declared and paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Three Months Ended March 31, · ​
​ · 2024 · ​ · 2023 · ​
Dividends declared​$132.1​$125.0​
Dividends paid (including those declared in the prior year)​131.7​124.9​

On October 24, 2023, the Board approved an increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend rate from $0.21 per share to $0.22 per share, effective with dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2023, contingent upon declaration by the Board.

Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s Income before income taxes was reduced for stock-based compensation expense of $23.8 and $21.7, respectively. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized aggregate income tax benefits (associated with stock-based compensation) of$32.2 and $19.3, respectively, in Provision for income taxes in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These aggregate income tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include excess tax benefits of$29.7 and $17.1, respectively, from option exercises.

The impact associated with recognizing excess tax benefits from option exercises in the provision for income taxes on our consolidated financial statements could result in significant fluctuations in our effective tax rate in the future, since the provision for income taxes will be impacted by the timing and intrinsic value of future stock-based compensation award exercises.

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. The expense incurred for stock-based compensation plans is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Stock Options

In May 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (the “2017 Employee Option Plan”), which provided for the issuance of 60,000,000 shares. In March 2021, the Board authorized and approved the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (the “Amended 2017 Employee Option Plan” and, together with the 2017 Employee Option Plan, the “2017 Option Plan”), which among other things, increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan by 40,000,000 shares. The Amended 2017 Employee Option Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders and became effective on May 19, 2021. As of March 31, 2024, there were 31,265,713 shares of Common Stock available for the granting of additional stock options under the 2017 Option Plan. Prior to the approval of the 2017 Employee Option Plan, the Company issued stock options under the 2009 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries, and its amendment (the “2009 Employee Option Plan”). No additional stock options will be granted under the 2009 Employee Option Plan. Options granted under the 2017 Option Plan and the 2009 Employee Option Plan generally vest ratably over a period offive years from the date of grant and are generally exercisable over a period of 10 years from the date of grant.

Non-vested options at March 31, 202422,398,761​$14.58​

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the following activity occurred under the Company’s option plans:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​Three Months Ended
​March 31,
​2024​2023
Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised$215.8​$125.7
Total fair value of stock options vested2.3​2.3

As of March 31, 2024, the total compensation cost related to non-vested options not yet recognized was approximately $228.1 with a weighted average expected amortization period of 3.19 years.

The grant-date fair value of each option grant under the 2009 Employee Option Plan and the 2017 Option Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant-date fair value of each 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 experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issuances 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.

Phantom Stock

On June 5, 2023, the Company granted 2,375 shares of phantom stock to each then-current non-employee director (19,000 shares in the aggregate), which will vest and, pursuant to written elections made by each non-employee director, convert into unrestricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the earlier of May 19, 2024 or the day immediately prior to the date of the 2024 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. As of March 31, 2024, the total compensation cost related to non-vested shares of phantom stock not yet recognized was approximately$0.2 (with a weighted average expected amortization period of 0.12 years).

Note 9—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common 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 outstanding common shares, including dilutive common shares, the dilutive effect of which relates to stock options. The following is a reconciliation of the

basic weighted average common shares outs tanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, which were used to calculate the earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

​​​​​​​
​ · ​ · Three Months Ended
​ · ​ · March 31,
(dollars and shares in millions, except per share data) · 2024 · 2023
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation stockholders​$548.7​$439.2
​​​​​​​
Weighted average common shares outstanding — Basic​600.0​595.1
Effect of dilutive stock options​27.9​24.8
Weighted average common shares outstanding — Diluted​627.9​619.9
​​​​​​​
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation per common share — Basic​$0.91​$0.74
​​​​​​​
Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation per common share — Diluted​$0.87​$0.71

Excluded from the computations above were anti-dilutive common shares (primarily related to outstanding stock options) of 0.1 million and 7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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. The Company has an unfunded Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”), a defined benefit pension plan, which provides for the payment of the portion of annual pension that cannot be paid from the retirement plan as a result of regulatory limitations on average compensation for purposes of the benefit computation. The majority of U.S. employees are not covered by the U.S. Plans and are instead covered by various defined contribution plans. Certain foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit plans covering their employees (the “Foreign Plans” and, together with the U.S. Plans and SERP, 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Three Months Ended March 31,
​ · 2024 · 2023
Service cost$1.0​$1.9
Interest cost​6.1​6.5
Expected return on plan assets​(7.2)​(7.3)
Amortization of prior service cost​0.3​0.4
Amortization of net actuarial losses​1.0​0.6
Net pension expense$1.2​$2.1

There isno current requirement for cash contributions to any of the U.S. Plans, and the Company plans to evaluate annually, based on actuarial calculations and the investment performance of the Plans’ assets, the timing and amount of cash contributions in the future, if any.

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 employee contributions to the U.S. defined contribution plans up to a maximum of 7% of eligible compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided matching contributions to the U.S. defined contribution plans of approximately$7.0 and $7.5, respectively.

Note 11—Acquisitions

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement by and between the Company and Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”), agreeing to acquire the CIT business of Carlisle for an aggregate purchase price of$2,025 in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2024 and is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to finance the CIT acquisition through a combination of the net proceeds from the New Senior Notes, as discussed in Note 4 herein, together with a combination of cash on hand and other debt financing, which could include borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and/or U.S. Commercial Paper Program. CIT, headquartered in St. Augustine, FL, is a leading global supplier of harsh environment interconnect solutions, primarily to the commercial aerospace, defense and industrial end markets. CIT’s wide range of products include wire and cable, cable assemblies, contacts, connectors and sensors, which, management believes, are highly complementary to Amphenol’s existing interconnect and sensor solutions. If and when the acquisition is consummated, the Company expects to report the CIT business within its Harsh Environment Solutions segment.

2023 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed 10 acquisitions (the “2023 Acquisitions”) for approximately $970.4, net of cash acquired. Five of the acquisitions have been included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment, three acquisitions have been included in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment, andtwo acquisitions have been included in the Communications Solutions segment. The 2023 Acquisitions were each funded using cash on hand or borrowings under our Commercial Paper Programs, or a combination thereof. One of the 2023 Acquisitions, which closed in the second quarter of 2023, represented a bargain purchase, where the estimated fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, exceeded the purchase price. The Company recognized a non-cash gain of$5.4 on the bargain purchase acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2023, which was recorded separately in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of March 31, 2024, the 2023 Acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $658.8 of goodwill and $153.2 of definite-lived intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships, proprietary technology and acquired backlog, with the remainder of the purchase price being allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed. These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected by the future net cash inflows, with the acquired customer relationships andproprietary technology having useful lives ranging from 6 to 12 years and the acquired backlog having a useful life of approximately 0.25 years. 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 other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company expects that approximately $165 of the goodwill recognized from the 2023 Acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company completed the acquisition accounting, including the analyses of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, forone of the 2023 Acquisitions, and its final assessment of values did not differ materially from its previous preliminary assessment. The Company is in the process of analyzing and completing the allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the other 2023 Acquisitions. Since the current purchase price allocations for such other acquisitions are based on preliminary assessments made by management as of March 31, 2024, the acquisition accounting is subject to final adjustments, and it is possible that the final assessments of values may differ from our preliminary assessments. The operating results of the 2023 Acquisitions were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Pro forma financial information, as well as further details regarding the purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions, were not presented, since the 2023 Acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $5.4 ($4.0 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, comprised of the amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from an

acquisition that closed in the first quarter of 2023. Such acquisition-related expenses are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The decrease in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets in the first three months of 2024 was primarily driven by measurement period adjustments related to certain intangible assets associated with acquisitions that closed late in 2023. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately$20.4 and $23.2, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included$5.4 related to the amortization of acquired backlog resulting from an acquisition that closed in the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2024, amortization expense relating to the Company’s current intangible assets estimated for the remainder of 2024 is approximately$57.6 and for each of the next five fiscal years is approximately $68.2 in 2025, $66.6 in 2026, $59.9 in 2027, $52.5 in 2028 and $41.9 in 2029.

Note 13—Reportable Business Segments

The Company organizes its reportable business segments based on the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company, combined with the nature of the individual business activities and the product-based solutions offered. The Company aligns its businesses into the following three reportable business segments:

Harsh Environment Solutions – the Harsh Environment Solutions segment designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of ruggedized interconnect products, including connectors and interconnect systems, printed circuits and printed circuit assemblies and other products for use in the industrial, defense, commercial aerospace, automotive, mobile networks and information technology and data communications end markets.

Communications Solutions – the Communications Solutions segment designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of connector and interconnect systems, including high speed, radio frequency, power, fiber optic and other products, together with antennas, for use in the information technology and data communications, mobile devices, industrial, mobile networks, broadband communications, automotive, commercial aerospace and defense end markets.

Interconnect and Sensor Systems – the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of sensors, sensor-based systems, connectors and value-add interconnect systems used in the automotive, industrial, information technology and data communications, mobile networks, defense and commercial aerospace end markets.

This segment structure reflects (i) the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, regularly assesses information for decision-making purposes, including the allocation of resources, and (ii) how the Company operates its businesses, assesses performance, and communicates results and strategy, among other items, to the Board and its stockholders. The Company hasthree segment managers to lead their respective reportable business segments, each reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the Company as a whole and are described herein and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report. The Company evaluates the performance of the segments and allocates resources to each of them based on, among other things, profit or loss from operations before certain corporate and other related items such as interest, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, amortization related to certain intangible assets and nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company also incurs general corporate expenses and costs which are not allocated to the reportable business segments but have been included in “Corporate / Other” in the following tables for reconciliation purposes. Assets are reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis and therefore are not presented by reportable business segment.

Net sales by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Note 14—Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist of product sales to either end customers and their appointed contract manufacturers (including original equipment manufacturers) or to distributors, and the vast majority of our sales are recognized at a point-in-time under the core principle of recognizing revenue when control transfers to the customer. With limited exceptions, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when we ship or deliver the product from our manufacturing facility to our customer, when our customer accepts and has legal title of the goods, and where the Company has a present right to payment for such goods. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, less than 5% of our net sales were recognized over time, where the associated contracts relate to the sale of goods with no alternative use as they are only sold to a single customer and whose underlying contract terms provide the Company with an enforceable right to payment, including a reasonable profit margin, for performance completed to date, in the event of customer termination. Since we typically invoice our customers at the same time that we satisfy our performance obligations, contract assets and contract liabilities related to our contracts with customers recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were not material as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These amounts are recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Other accrued expenses as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company receives customer orders negotiated with multiple delivery dates that may extend across more thanone reporting period until the contract is fulfilled, the end of the order period is reached, or a pre-determined maximum order value has been reached. Orders typically fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on customer demand and general business conditions. It is generally expected that a substantial portion of our remaining performance obligations will be fulfilled within three months, and nearly all of our performance obligations are fulfilled withinone year. Since our performance obligations are part of contracts that generally have original durations ofone year or less, we havenot disclosed the aggregate amount of transaction prices associated with unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2024.

While the Company typically offers standard product warranty coverage that provides assurance that our products will conform to the contractually agreed-upon specifications for a limited period from the date of shipment, the Company’s warranty liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and related warranty expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have not been and were not material in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
