TE Connectivity reports Q1 adjusted EPS $1.53, consensus $1.51

Reports Q1 revenue $3.84B, consensus $3.76B. Order levels were $3.6B. "We delivered sales and adjusted EPS above guidance in the first quarter as our global teams continued to execute in a dynamic macro environment," said TE Connectivity CEO Terrence Curtin. "Our Transportation segment outperformed the market due to our global leading position in electric vehicles, and our Industrial segment demonstrated organic growth across all businesses. We continue to see solid demand and backlog trends in both of those segments. In our Communications segment, we saw incremental weakness in our end markets, which drove lower volumes as our customers consumed excess inventory across the supply chain. While we cannot control the demand environment, we are continuing to take actions to drive margin improvements as we move through the year. We remain confident that we are well positioned for long-term growth and profitability as our customers continue to rely on our technology to advance important trends including e-mobility, renewable energy, factory automation and cloud computing, which are creating a safer, sustainable, productive and connected future."
