  • (6) Net sales by geographic area are based on the customer location to which the product is shipped. ​ The increase in foreign net sales in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by robust sales growth in Asia.
  • The comparatively weaker U.S. dollar in 2025 had the effect of increasing sales by approximately $84.6, compared to 2024. ​ The following table sets forth the components of net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation as a percentage of net sales for the years indicated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ ​ ​ 2024 ​ ​ ​ 2023 Net sales 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Operating expenses (1) 74.1 ​ 78.4 ​ 79.3 ​ Acquisition-related expenses ​ 0.4 ​ 0.8 ​ 0.3 ​ Operating income 25.4 ​ 20.7 ​ 20.4 ​ Interest expense (1.6) ​ (1.4) ​ (1.1) ​ Gain on bargain purchase acquisition — ​ — ​ — ​ Other income (expense), net 0.4 ​ 0.5 ​ 0.2 ​ Income before income taxes ​ 24.3 ​ 19.8 ​ 19.6 ​ Provision for income taxes (5.6) ​ (3.7) ​ (4.1) ​ Net income 18.6 ​ 16.0 ​ 15.5 ​ Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (0.2) ​ (0.1) ​ (0.1) ​ Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation 18.5 % 15.9 % 15.4 % (1) The aggregated amount is comprised of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.
  • Note: Percentages in this table were calculated using actual, unrounded results; therefore, the sum of the components may not add due to rounding. ​ Operating expenses were $17,122.7, or 74.1% of net sales, for 2025, compared to $11,938.4, or 78.4% of net sales, for 2024.
  • Operating income was $5,868.6, or 25.4% of net sales, in 2025, compared to $3,156.9, or 20.7% of net sales, in 2024.
  • The decrease in Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales and increase in Operating income as a percentage of net sales in 2025 were primarily driven by strong performance and disciplined cost control, which generated strong operating leverage on the significant growth experienced during the period, partially offset by the effect of acquisitions, which currently have higher Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales compared to the Company average.
  • Operating income in 2025 included acquisition-related expenses of $181.2, comprised primarily of (i) the non-cash amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from the Andrew and Trexon acquisitions and external transaction costs associated with acquisitions (such acquisition-related expenses aggregating $103.4 are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Income) and (ii) the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up costs of $77.8 associated with the Andrew acquisition (such costs are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income).
  • Operating income in 2024 included acquisition-related expenses of $145.6, comprised primarily of (i) external transaction costs associated with acquisitions and the non-cash amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from the CIT acquisition (such acquisition-related expenses aggregating $127.4 are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Income) and (ii) the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up costs of $18.2 associated with the CIT acquisition (such costs are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income).
  • The acquisition-related expenses in 2025 and 2024 had the effect of decreasing net income by $148.8, or $0.12 per share, and $119.3, or $0.09 per share, respectively.
  • Excluding the effect of these acquisition-related expenses, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin, each as defined below in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section within this Item 7, were $6,049.8 and 26.2% of net sales, respectively, in 2025, and $3,302.5 and 21.7% of net sales, respectively, in 2024.
  • The increase in Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin in 2025 relative to 2024 was primarily driven by strong operating performance on the higher sales volumes, partially offset by the negative impact on operating margin related to acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months that are currently operating below the average operating margin of the Company. ​ Operating income for the Communications Solutions segment in 2025 was $3,746.6, or 31.1% of net sales, compared to $1,569.6, or 24.8% of net sales in 2024.
  • The increase in operating margin for the Communications Solutions segment for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by strong operating performance on the significantly higher sales volumes, slightly offset by the negative impact on operating margin related to acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months that are currently operating below the average operating margin of the Company. ​ Operating income for the Harsh Environment Solutions segment in 2025 was $1,541.4, or 26.2% of net sales, compared to $1,093.2, or 24.7% of net sales in 2024.
  • The increase in operating margin for the Harsh Environment Solutions segment for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by strong operating performance on the higher organic sales volumes, slightly offset by the negative impact on operating margin related to acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months that are currently operating below the average operating margin of the Company. ​ Operating income for the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment in 2025 was $1,005.1, or 19.5% of net sales, compared to $825.9, or 18.4% of net sales in 2024.
  • The increase in operating margin for the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by strong operating performance on the higher sales volumes. ​ Interest expense was $367.8 in 2025 compared to $217.0 in 2024.
  • The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by higher average borrowing levels, resulting from the issuances of new senior notes during 2025 to fund all or part of acquisitions, including the CommScope acquisition (as defined and discussed below within this Item 7 and in Note 15 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements herein), which closed on January 9, 2026.
  • Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s debt. ​ Other income (expense), net was $99.9 in 2025 compared to $72.0 in 2024.
  • The increase was primarily driven by interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents on hand, resulting from increased levels of cash on hand, partially driven by the issuance of the November Senior Notes (defined below) in the fourth quarter of 2025 in anticipation of the CommScope acquisition, along with increased interest rates. ​ Provision for income taxes was at an effective rate of 23.1% in 2025 and 18.9% in 2024.
  • Provision for income taxes in 2025 included (i) excess tax benefits of $246.6 from stock option exercises, (ii) a discrete tax item of $100.0 related to a charge recorded for notices received by certain subsidiaries in China from relevant tax authorities challenging certain of the Company’s tax positions taken over up to an eight-year period, and (iii) the tax effects of the aforementioned acquisition-related expenses during the year.
  • These items incurred in 2025 and 2024 had the aggregate effect of decreasing the effective tax rate and increasing earnings per share by the amounts noted in the table below.

  • Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below and reconciled within this Part II, Item 7. ​ Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ​ The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), a tax and spending package that introduced 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, was enacted into law in 2022.
  • The IRA provisions, which became effective for Amphenol beginning on January 1, 2023, did not have a material impact on the Company during the years ended December 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. ​ Pillar Two Framework ​ The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 Inclusive Framework, known as Pillar Two, provides guidance for a global minimum tax.
  • Certain countries in which we operate have already enacted legislation to adopt the Pillar Two framework, while several other countries are expected to also implement similar legislation with varying effective dates in the future.
