Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP performance and liquidity measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision-making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
The following provides additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures:
Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) – represents net sales growth (decline) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that are not completely under management’s control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin – represent operating income and operating margin, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, and other income or charges, if any. We utilize these adjusted measures in combination with operating income and operating margin to assess segment level operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and market conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any.Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations – represents income from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects.Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.Free Cash Flow (FCF) – is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP financial measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including cash paid (collected) pursuant to collateral requirements related to cross-currency swap contracts, are also excluded by management in evaluating Free Cash Flow. Net capital expenditures consist of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. These items are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments. In the calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract certain cash items that are ultimately within management’s and the Board of Directors’ discretion to direct and may imply that there is less or more cash available for our programs than the most comparable GAAP financial measure indicates. It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for future discretionary expenditures, as our definition of Free Cash Flow does not consider certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions, that are not considered in the calculation of Free Cash Flow.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this release include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results. In addition, our proposed change of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland is subject to risks, such as the risk that the change of place of incorporation might not be completed or, if completed, that the anticipated advantages might not materialize, as well as the risks that the price of our stock could decline and our position on stock exchanges and indices could change, and Irish corporate governance and regulatory schemes could prove different or more challenging than currently expected. Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the extent, severity and duration of business interruptions, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) negatively affecting our business operations; business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting demand for products in the automotive and other industries we serve; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and political, economic and military instability in countries in which we operate, including continuing military conflict in certain parts of the world; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation. In addition, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in TE Connectivity Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept 29, 2023, as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Built specifically for military operations, it delivers mobility, payload, and power in a compact system, engineered to perform in demanding environments where commercial vehicles fail.
“The Hunter WOLF is a proven platform that’s ready to support operations today. It’s not a concept still in development like other options,” said Tom Van Doren, President, Robotics Sector at HDT Robotics. “Training directly with units like the 10th Mountain Division ensures the system continues to meet operational requirements and provides a dependable solution the military can confidently deploy.”
The training event will provide hands-on experience for soldiers in one of the Army’s elite light infantry units, known for rapid deployment and operations in complex, extreme environments, including mountainous and cold-weather conditions. During the event, soldiers will operate and evaluate the Hunter WOLF in real-world scenarios, gaining experience in system operation, mission integration, and sustainment across a range of mission tasks.
“Training events like this show how adaptable the Hunter WOLF’s modular design is across different mission requirements,” said John Conway, VP of Business Development, Robotics at HDT Robotics. “Soldiers are able to configure it quickly and apply it to operational tasks without adding complexity.”
During training, soldiers will operate Hunter WOLF vehicles configured for communications, sustainment, support, and employment of equipment normally too heavy for dismounted units to transport, such as loitering munitions. These configurations include:
Two Vehicle-mounted Tactical Radios (AN/VRC-158)Five Universal Battery Chargers (UBC)60-gallon Water Purification SystemsCasualty Evacuation (CASEVAC)15kW Mobile Power Export (120/240VAC inverter offload)Extended Cargo Rails for Equipment Transport

Roomba Pioneer Colin Angle Unveils New Venture, Familiar Machines & Magic, Introducing a New Platform for Consumer Physical AI
Published
59 minutes agoon
May 4, 2026By
After building iRobot into a multi-billion-dollar business and architecting the global consumer robotics industry, Angle launches a new company to build emotionally intelligent robots designed for trust, interaction, and long-term connection.
BOSTON, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — More than two decades after introducing the Roomba and helping define consumer robotics, Colin Angle is returning with a more ambitious vision: Artificial Life. On stage today at The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything conference, Angle unveiled Familiar Machines & Magic, bringing the company out of stealth and introducing Familiars – physically embodied AI systems designed to perceive, adapt, and interact with people in ways that feel natural and consistent.
“The next era of robotics is not just about dexterity or humanoid form – it’s about machines that can build and sustain human connection,” said Colin Angle, cofounder and CEO of Familiar Machines & Magic. “Today, we’re emerging from stealth to share our vision for systems that move beyond task execution and become a natural part of daily life.”
FM&M uses the term “Familiars” to describe emotionally intelligent, physically embodied AI systems that perceive their environment, develop a distinct personality, and respond in ways that learn and evolve through life with the people around them.
Physical AI’s Next Frontier: From Capability to Human Connection
The global race to build Physical AI is on. From humanoid robots promising factory labor to autonomous systems reshaping logistics, tens of billions of dollars are flowing into machines designed to move, lift, sort, and transport. But this is only half the opportunity – the back-end, industrial physical AI opportunity. The other half is consumer-facing, for all of the use cases where robots will interact with humans, and it requires a fundamentally different approach.
Consumer Physical AI demands human connection – the ability to not just perform physical tasks, but to understand, communicate, and respond in ways that feel intuitive and supportive. This opportunity extends across daily life – anywhere people and machines intersect – not just within the home.
Consumer Physical AI outperforms screens in these types of emotional work because people respond more strongly to physical presence. While chatbots are widely used for emotional support, they are often less effective and beneficial for their users.
FM&M is focused on developing Consumer Physical AI systems that deliver this kind of interaction at scale by building Familiars.
The company’s leadership team has already brought consumer robotics to global scale. As leaders behind the Roomba platform at iRobot, they deployed more than fifty million robots into homes worldwide, turning a once-experimental category into a household technology. FM&M also brings together talent from Disney Research, MIT, Amazon, Boston Dynamics, Bose, and Sonos, applying deep experience in robotics, AI, and human-machine interaction to this next frontier.
Bringing Familiars to Life: Meet the First Familiar
During a live conversation with Wall Street Journal Technology columnist Christopher Mims at Future of Everything, Angle introduced the first Familiar – the inaugural system powered by FM&M’s Consumer Physical AI platform.
“iRobot proved that robots could deliver value at scale,” Angle said. “But they were still task machines. My goal has always been to create systems that understand context, remember interactions, and behave with consistency over time. That’s what we’re doing at Familiar Machines & Magic.”
A Familiar is purpose-built for social interaction rather than industrial performance. Its hardware and AI architecture are optimized for expressive, whole-body movement that communicates attention, awareness, and intent without relying on a screen.
The first Familiar is a quadruped, specifically designed for human-robot interaction, with 23 degrees of freedom enabling both lifelike movement and expressive behaviors. The Familiar is covered with a custom touch-sensitive coat, a vision system, and a microphone array and audio system, to support rich interactions. Its onboard edge AI stack is powered by a custom small multimodal model optimized for social reasoning, combining vision, audio, language, and memory to create socially responsive behaviors in real time.
Unlike humanoid robots designed to replicate human form for industrial uses, the Familiar is intentionally designed to be approachable and expressive, with a form factor optimized for interaction in everyday environments. It integrates context, memory, and adaptive behavior to create a consistent presence over time. Familiars are optimized for interaction, for presence, and for everyday use.
Today’s reveal marks FM&M’s emergence from stealth, not a commercial product launch. Specific applications, form factors, and timelines will be shared in future updates.
The Path Forward: The First to Scale Physical AI
The Consumer Physical AI market will not be won by the most impressive demo – but by the system people choose to live with. Familiar Machines & Magic is building a Physical AI platform focused on real-world deployment, measurable value, and responsible scaling.
Unlike cloud-dependent AI systems that rely on continuous data streaming, FM&M’s architecture prioritizes on-device, edge AI to reduce latency and strengthen privacy. The company has also established clear data governance guardrails as it develops systems designed for daily life.
By focusing on systems that can scale broadly, FM&M is building a platform that improves through real-world use rather than speculative demonstrations.
Follow the Journey
Familiar Machines & Magic will share updates, research, and progress as it develops its Familiars platform; this is just the beginning. If you’re curious what life with a Familiar could look like, sign up at familiarmachines.com or follow FM&M on LinkedIn and X.
About Familiar Machines & Magic
Familiar Machines & Magic is pioneering Consumer Physical AI, beginning with Familiars – physically embodied AI systems designed to form long-term, emotionally intelligent relationships with people. The company’s mission is to create artificial life to build a more caring world.
Founded by Colin Angle, cofounder and former CEO of iRobot, FM&M builds on more than three decades of consumer robotics experience. Angle is joined by cofounders Ira Renfrew, Chief People and Product Officer (C2PO), and Dr. Chris Jones, Chief Research and Development Officer (CRDO) – veteran robotics and AI leaders with experience spanning iRobot, Amazon, and other global consumer technology platforms.
Collectively, the founding team has deployed over 50 million consumer robots worldwide and led advances in navigation, machine learning, and human-robot interaction. The broader team brings additional expertise from institutions including Disney Research, MIT, Boston Dynamics, and USC.
