Adam Norwitt. “Sales increased from prior year by 55%, driven by strong organic growth in most of our end markets, including exceptional organic growth in the IT datacom market, as well as contributions from the Company’s acquisition program. We also booked record orders in the quarter, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.23:1. The Company realized strong profitability during the quarter with Adjusted Operating Margin reaching 29.8%, inclusive of $80 million in net tariff recoveries. We are extremely proud of the Company’s outstanding performance.” The Company continues to deploy its financial strength in a variety of ways to increase shareholder value. During the second quarter, the Company purchased 1.5 million shares of its common stock for $208 million and paid dividends of $307 million, resulting in total capital returned to shareholders of $515 million. Amphenol remains focused on expanding its growth opportunities through a deep commitment to developing enabling technologies for customers across our served end markets, an ongoing strategy of market and geographic diversification as well as an active and successful acquisition program. To that end, Amphenol acquired two companies during the second quarter, El.Com and Wilder Technologies. Based in Leno, Italy and with annual sales of approximately $150 million, El.Com is a leading manufacturer of complex interconnect solutions and high-voltage cable assemblies serving the industrial, defense and commercial aerospace markets. Based in Vancouver, Washington and with annual sales of approximately $15 million, Wilder Technologies is a key supplier to the Company of high-performance test and measurement solutions for high-speed digital, RF and signal integrity applications to the IT datacom market. El.Com is included in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment and Wilder Technologies is included in the Communications Solutions segment. In addition, given the better than expected performance of CommScope, Amphenol now expects this acquisition to generate full-year sales of $4.6 billion and to be $0.30 accretive to the Company’s Adjusted Diluted EPS in 2026. This is above our prior expectations for sales and accretion of $4.1 billion and $0.15, respectively. Third Quarter 2026 Outlook Assuming the continuation of current market conditions as well as constant exchange rates, for the third quarter of 2026, Amphenol expects sales to be in the range of $9.3 billion to $9.4 billion, representing a 50% to 52% increase over the prior year quarter. Adjusted Diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.40 to $1.42, representing a 51% to 53% increase from the third quarter of 2025. This guidance does not include any additional tariff recoveries. Mr. Norwitt continued, “I am very pleased with the Company’s outstanding second quarter 2026 results. The revolution in electronics continues to accelerate, with new innovations creating exciting growth opportunities for Amphenol across each of our diversified end markets. In turn, we have expanded our range of high-technology interconnect products, both through our organic innovation efforts as well as through our successful acquisition program. This expanded technology position coupled with our unique entrepreneurial culture has strengthened our competitive advantage. Our ongoing drive to leverage that competitive advantage and thereby create sustained financial strength has established an excellent base for the Company’s future performance. I am confident in the ability of our outstanding entrepreneurial management team to continue to dynamically adjust to changing market conditions, to capitalize on the wide array of growth opportunities that arise in all market cycles and to continue to generate sustainable long-term value.” Conference Call and Webcast Details The Company will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter results at 1:00 PM (EDT) on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

This press release also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including book to bill, Constant Currency Net Sales Growth, Organic Net Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Amphenol Corporation, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow (collectively, “non-GAAP financial measures”), which are intended to supplement the reported GAAP results. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as part of its internal reviews for purposes of monitoring, evaluating and forecasting the Company’s financial performance, communicating operating results to the Company’s Board of Directors and assessing related employee compensation measures. Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance, trends and period-over-period comparative results. The Company’s book-to-bill is the ratio of orders received to net sales during the period. Constant Currency Net Sales Growth excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Organic Net Sales Growth excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and acquisitions. Non-GAAP financial measures related to operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation, effective tax rate and diluted EPS exclude income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the periods presented. Items excluded in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures in any period may consist of, without limitation, acquisition-related expenses, refinancing-related costs, the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and certain other discrete tax items including, but not limited to, (i) the impact of tax audits relating to prior periods and (ii) significant changes in tax law. Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less capital expenditures net of proceeds from disposals. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. However, such non-GAAP financial measures are included for supplemental purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily the same or comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as such measures may be calculated differently or may exclude different items. The non-GAAP financial measures are defined within the “Supplemental Financial Information” table at the end of this press release and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
