Such forward-looking statements are based on our management’s assumptions and beliefs about future events or circumstances using information currently available, and as a result, they are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements address events or developments that Amphenol Corporation expects or believes may or will occur in the future. These forward-looking statements, which address the Company’s expected business and financial performance and financial condition, among other matters, may contain words and terms such as: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “look ahead,” “may,” “ongoing,” “optimistic,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will” or “would” and other words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about expected earnings, revenues, growth, liquidity, effective tax rate, interest rates, the expected timing for the closing of certain acquisitions or other matters. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in all forward-looking statements, including those we may make regarding expected full year 2026 sales related to CCS as well as expected 2026 earnings per share accretion related to the CCS acquisition, are based upon reasonable assumptions, the expectations may not be attained or there may be material deviation.

There are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, which include, but are not limited to, unanticipated difficulties relating to the CCS acquisition, the response of business partners and competitors to the announcement of the closing of the transaction, potential disruptions to current plans and operations and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the closing of the CCS acquisition. In addition, any forward-looking statements we make should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect Amphenol’s business, particularly those identified in the risk factor discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. These or other uncertainties not identified in these documents (that we either currently do not expect to have an adverse effect on our business or that we are unable to predict or identify at this time) may cause the Company’s actual future results to be materially different from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
