MESSAGE TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS TOM LYNCH | CHAIRMAN & CEO It is an exciting time for TE Connectivity. The world’s need for  more efficient and greener energy and information anytime,  anywhere continues to grow rapidly. This demand requires more  electronics, more connections and more TE products than ever.  As the leading supplier of electronic connections, we are in a  great position to capitalize on these technology trends. In fiscal 2013, TE led the industry with $13.3 billion in revenue and  delivered adjusted earnings per share of $3.23, up 13 percent from  the prior year and a new record for the company. We generated  over $1.5 billion of free cash flow, another record for the company.  Importantly, we exceeded 15 percent adjusted operating margin  in the fourth quarter at an annualized revenue rate of less than  $14 billion.
