Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in shareholders' equity of Sensata Technologies Holding plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Company," "Sensata," "we," "our," or "us."

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 29, 2024 (the "2023 Annual Report").

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realigned our business as a result of organizational changes that better allocate our resources to support changes to our business strategy. The most significant changes include combining our Automotive and HVOR businesses (with the combined business remaining in Performance Sensing) and moving the Insights business out of Performance Sensing to a new operating segment, which is not aggregated within either of our reportable segments. We combined the Automotive and HVOR businesses to better leverage our core capabilities and prioritize product focus. We also moved certain shorter-cycle businesses from Performance Sensing to Sensing Solutions, which will benefit from organizing these businesses together, by allowing us to scale core capabilities and better serve our customers. Prior year amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been recast to reflect this realignment. Refer to Note 15: Segment Reporting for additional information

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we presented interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations separate from interest expense. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, interest income had been included in interest expense, net. Accordingly, we reclassified prior period interest income to a separate caption in the condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to current period presentation.

All U.S. dollar ("USD") and share amounts presented, except per share amounts, are stated in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.

  1. New Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments. This guidance requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and an amount for "other segment items" included in the determination of segment operating income. The guidance also requires that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, in interim periods, and that a public entity provide the title and position of the chief operating decision maker. There is no change to the guidance for identification or aggregation of operating or reportable segments. FASB ASU No. 2023-07 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We adopted the guidance in FASB ASU No. 2023-07 on January 1, 2024 and will include the required new annual and quarterly disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For public business entities, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not expect the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2023-09 to have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition, but it is expected to increase the amount of disclosures required in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

(1) In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realigned our segments, as discussed further in Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Note 15: Segment Reporting. As a result, certain revenue in the Automotive and HVOR end markets have been moved from Performance Sensing to Sensing Solutions. In addition, Insights revenue was moved from the HVOR end market (in Performance Sensing) to the other end market in a separate operating segment that is not aggregated within either of our reportable segments. The three and six months ended June 30, 2023 have been retrospectively recast to reflect this change.

(2) Heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

  1. Restructuring and Other Charges, Net

Q3 2023 Plan

In the three months ended September 30, 2023, we committed to a plan to reorganize our business (the “Q3 2023 Plan”). The Q3 2023 Plan, consisting of voluntary and involuntary reductions-in-force, site closures, and other cost-savings initiatives, was commenced to adjust our cost structure and business activities to better align with weaker market demand and continued economic uncertainty in many of our end-markets and to take active measures to accelerate our margin recovery.

The reductions-in-force, which are subject to the laws and regulations of the countries in which the actions are planned, are expected to impact 510 positions. Over the life of the Q3 2023 Plan, we incurred restructuring charges of approximately $25.5 million, primarily related to reductions-in-force. The majority of the actions under the Q3 2023 Plan are expected to be completed on or before September 30, 2024.

These restructuring charges impacted our business segments and corporate functions as follows:

Spear Marine Business

On June 6, 2023, we announced that we had made the decision to exit the marine energy storage business (the "Marine Business") of Spear Power Systems (“Spear”). The exit of the Spear Marine Business was the result of a change in strategy with respect to the business and involved ceasing sales, marketing, and business operations. It resulted in the elimination of certain positions, primarily in the U.S. and the closure of operations in Belgium. The Spear Marine Business had been included in the Sensing Solutions reportable segment. Exiting the Spear Marine Business resulted in charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as presented in the table below:

Provision for income taxes$27,280$19,873$49,850$43,599

The provision for income taxes consists of (1) current tax expense, which relates primarily to our profitable operations in tax jurisdictions with limited or no net operating loss carryforwards and withholding taxes related to management fees, royalties, and the repatriation of foreign earnings; and (2) deferred tax expense (or benefit), which represents adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to (a) book versus tax basis in intangible assets, (b) changes in net operating loss carryforwards, and (c) changes in withholding taxes on unremitted earnings. Other items impacting deferred tax expense include changes in tax rates and changes in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

  1. Net Income per Share

Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated by dividing net income by the number of basic and diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share were as follows:

For the three months endedFor the six months ended
June 30, 2024June 30, 2023June 30, 2024June 30, 2023

Diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding151,129153,064151,025153,194

Certain potential ordinary shares were excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding because either they would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share or they related to equity awards that were contingently issuable for which the contingency had not been satisfied. These potential ordinary shares were as follows:

(1)On June 6, 2024, our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Sensata Technologies, Inc. ("STI"), completed the issuance and sale of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2032 (the "6.625% Senior Notes"). On July 15, 2024, we used the proceeds from this issuance, together with cash on hand, for the redemption in full of the $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior notes due 2025 (the "5.0% Senior Notes"), which were issued by our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Sensata Technologies B.V. ("STBV"). Accordingly, we have presented the 5.0% Senior Notes within the current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

Our indebtedness as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consists of various tranches of senior unsecured notes, including the 5.0% Senior Notes, $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes due 2030 (the "4.375% Senior Notes), $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due 2031 (the "3.75% Senior Notes), $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.0% senior notes due 2029 (the "4.0% Senior Notes"), $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2030 (the "5.875% Senior Notes"), and the 6.625% Senior Notes. We also have secured credit facilities which provide for our $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and incremental availability under which additional debt can be issued. Refer to Note 14: Debt of our 2023 Annual Report for additional information related to our indebtedness prior to the issuance of the 6.625% Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2024, we had $746.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $3.9 million of obligations in respect of outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder. Outstanding letters of credit are issued primarily for the benefit of certain operating activities. As of June 30, 2024, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.

Debt Financing Transactions

Issuance of 6.625% Senior Notes

The 6.625% Senior Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of June 6, 2024 (the "6.625% Senior Notes Indenture") among STI, as issuer, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and our guarantor subsidiaries named therein (the "Guarantors").

The 6.625% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum and mature on July 15, 2032. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2025. STI's obligations under the 6.625% Senior Notes are guaranteed by STBV and each of STBV's wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than STI) that is a Guarantor under STI's senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") and an issuer or a guarantor under our existing senior notes as follows (collectively, the "Existing Notes"): STI's 4.375% Senior Notes due 2030 and 3.75% Senior Notes due 2031 and STBV's 4.0% Senior Notes due 2029 and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2030.

The 6.625% Senior Notes are STI’s, and the guarantees are the Guarantors’, senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of STI or the Guarantors, respectively, including indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Existing Notes and the 5.0% Senior Notes.

The 6.625% Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of Sensata Technologies B.V. ("STBV") and its subsidiaries (including STI and the other Guarantors) to, among other things: incur liens; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; with respect to any subsidiary of STBV (other than STI), incur indebtedness without such subsidiary’s guaranteeing the 6.625% Senior Notes; or consolidate, merge with, or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all or substantially all of their properties or assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 6.625% Senior Notes Indenture.

The guarantees of the 6.625% Senior Notes and certain of these covenants will be suspended if the 6.625% Senior Notes are assigned an investment-grade rating by either S&P Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and no default has occurred and is continuing. The guarantees of the 6.625% Senior Notes and the suspended covenants will be reinstated in the event that the 6.625% Senior Notes are rated below investment grade by both rating agencies or an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time.

The 6.625% Senior Notes Indenture provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the 6.625% Senior Notes Indenture, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, failure to pay certain judgments, and failure of the guarantees of significant subsidiaries to remain in full force and effect. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the 6.625% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. All provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to the 6.625% Senior Notes Indenture.

At any time, and from time to time, prior to July 15, 2027, STI may redeem the 6.625% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes being redeemed, plus a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after July 15, 2027, STI may redeem the 6.625% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the following prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date:

In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2027, STI may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes (including additional 6.625% Senior Notes, if any) with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.625%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes (including additional 6.625% Senior Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption.

Upon the occurrence of certain changes in control, each holder of the 6.625% Senior Notes will have the right to require STI to repurchase the 6.625% Senior Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

Upon changes in certain tax laws or treaties, or any change in the official application, administration, or interpretation thereof, STI may, at its option, redeem the 6.625% Senior Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, premium, if any, and all Additional Amounts (as defined in the 6.625% Senior Notes Indenture), if any, then due and which will become due on the date of redemption.

Redemption of 5.0% Senior Notes

On June 6, 2024, we announced that we intended to redeem in full the $700.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on our 5.0% senior notes due 2025 (the "5.0% Senior Notes"). Accordingly, we reflected the 5.0% Senior Notes as a current liability on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

We redeemed the 5.0% Senior Notes on July 15, 2024 in accordance with the terms of the indenture under which the 5.0% Senior Notes were issued and the terms of the notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.0% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the redemption date. In addition to the $700.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding, at redemption we paid the $7.0 million premium and $10.1 million accrued interest.

Accounting for Debt Financing Transactions

We account for our debt financing transactions as disclosed in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Annual Report.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.625% Senior Notes, we recognized $6.3 million of deferred financing costs, which are presented as a reduction of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other Indebtedness

Refer to Note 14: Debt of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2023 Annual Report for additional information regarding our other indebtedness.

Accrued Interest

Accrued interest associated with our outstanding debt is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued interest totaled $47.3 million and $45.2 million, respectively.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

We are regularly involved in a number of claims and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, based upon our experience and current information known to us, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

  1. Shareholders' Equity

Purchase of noncontrolling interest in joint venture

In February 2024, Sensata purchased the remaining 50% interest in the Company’s joint venture with Dongguan Churod Electronics Co., Ltd. for approximately $79.4 million. Prior to the transaction, the Company had been consolidating the joint venture. The purchase of the 50% non-controlling interest was accounted for as an equity transaction. No gain or loss was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the amount by which the non-controlling interest was adjusted was recognized as a reduction of additional paid in capital recorded in equity.

Cash Dividends

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $18.1 million and $36.1 million, respectively, compared to $18.3 million and $35.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. On July 18, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, payable on August 28, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2024.

Foreign Currency Translation

Prior to October 1, 2023, the functional currency of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries in China was USD. Effective October 1, 2023, as a result of significant changes in economic facts and circumstances in the operations of our China foreign entities, the functional currency of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries in China changed to the CNY. The changes in economic facts and circumstances caused a permanent change to our strategy in China toward a more self-contained model, making China the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate. This change was accounted for prospectively and does not impact prior period financial statements.

As a result of this change, in the fourth quarter of 2023, we started recording an adjustment to translate these subsidiaries' financial statements from CNY to USD (our reporting currency). These adjustments are included in other comprehensive income and are presented under the heading Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) below.

Treasury Shares

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized various share repurchase programs, which may be modified or terminated by the Board at any time. Under these programs, we may repurchase ordinary shares at such times and in amounts to be determined by our management, based on market conditions, legal requirements, and other corporate considerations, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, provided that such transactions were completed pursuant to an agreement and with a third party approved by our shareholders at the annual general meeting. Ordinary shares repurchased by us are recognized, measured at cost, and presented as treasury shares on our consolidated balance sheets, resulting in a reduction of shareholders' equity.

On January 20, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a $500.0 million ordinary share repurchase program (the “January 2022 Program”), which replaced the previous $500.0 million program approved in July 2019. On September 26, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a new $500.0 million ordinary share repurchase program (the “September 2023 Program”), which replaced the January 2022 Program and became effective on October 1, 2023.

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, we didnot repurchase any shares under our share repurchase program. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.6 million ordinary shares for $25.1 million, under our share repurchase programs. In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 0.3 million and 0.6 million ordinary shares, respectively, for $10.1 million and $25.1 million, respectively, under our share repurchase programs. As of June 30, 2024, $461.8 million remained available for repurchase under the September 2023 Program.

Refer to Note 14: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information regarding our forward contracts. Cash equivalents consist of U.S. Government Treasury money market funds and are classified as Level 1 as they are exchange traded in an active market.

Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

We evaluated our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of October 1, 2023 and determined that our Insights reporting unit was impaired. Refer to additional information in our 2023 Annual Report. No events or changes in circumstances occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2024 that would have triggered the need for an additional impairment review of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we made the decision to reorganize our segments, as discussed in more detail in Note 1: Basis of Presentation. This reorganization resulted in the creation of a new reporting unit for a business that was previously part of the Automotive reporting unit, which was moved to the Sensing Solutions segment. We reassigned assets and liabilities, including goodwill, from the Automotive reporting unit to the new reporting unit as required by FASB ASC Topic 350. We evaluated our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment before and after the reorganization and formation of these reporting units and determined that they were not impaired. As a result of this reorganization, we allocated $143.4 million of goodwill to the new reporting unit in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(1) Excluding any related debt discounts, premiums, and deferred financing costs.

In addition to the above, we hold certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values for which we use the measurement alternative prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 321. Such investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held equity investments under the measurement alternative of $6.3 million and $18.3 million, respectively, which are presented in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we adjusted the carrying value of one of these equity investments as a result of an observable price change in the first quarter of 2024, resulting in a loss of $14.8 million.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if we default on our indebtedness and repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2024, the termination value of outstanding derivatives in a liability position, excluding any adjustment for non-performance risk, was $7.4 million. As of June 30, 2024, we hadnot posted any cash collateral related to these agreements. If we breach any of the default provisions on any of our indebtedness as described above, we could be required to settle our obligations under the derivative agreements at their termination values.

  1. Segment Reporting

We present financial information fortwo reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realigned our segments as a result of organizational changes that better allocate our resources to support changes to our business strategy. Refer to Note 1: Basis of Presentation for additional information. This realignment added an "other" segment that represents the aggregation of immaterial operating segments. As a result of this reorganization, we moved $143.4 million of goodwill from Performance Sensing to Sensing Solutions. Refer to Note 13: Fair Value Measures for additional information.

Prior to the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Performance Sensing reportable segment represented the aggregation oftwo operating segments, Automotive and HVOR. As a result of the segment realignment, Performance Sensing now represents one operating segment, as does Sensing Solutions. Other immaterial operating segments are aggregated in other, which was created as part of the segment realignment.

Our operating segments are businesses that we manage as components of an enterprise, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, net, certain costs associated with our strategic megatrend initiatives, and certain corporate costs or credits not associated with the operations of the segment, including share-based compensation expense and a portion of depreciation expense associated with assets recognized in connection with acquisitions. Corporate and other expenses excluded from an operating (and reportable) segment’s performance are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas such as finance, information technology, legal, and human resources. We believe that segment operating income, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies of each of our operating and reportable segments are materially consistent with those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Annual Report.

The following table presents net revenue and segment operating income for our reportable segments and other operating results not allocated to our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (prior periods have been recast).
