(2)    We have reclassified acquisition-related compensation arrangements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the "other" caption within restructuring and other charges, net, to correspond to current period presentation.
(3)    The six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily includes gains related to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration amounts.
On June 6, 2023, we announced that we had made the decision to exit the Marine Business, which was included in the Sensing Solutions reportable segment. Exiting the Marine Business resulted in a charge of $38.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The charge included $13.5 million of accelerated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets, presented in amortization of intangible assets, and a $10.5 million write-down of inventory, presented in cost of revenue. In addition, certain of these charges are presented in restructuring and other charges, net, including $1.2 million of severance costs, $1.7 million related to the write-down of property, plant, and equipment, $2.3 million related to the write-down of accounts receivables, and $9.1 million of other charges, including contract termination costs.
The following table presents a rollforward of our severance liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

7. Income Taxes
The following table presents the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:
 For the three months endedFor the six months ended
 June 30, 2023June 30, 2022June 30, 2023June 30, 2022
Provision for income taxes$19,873 $20,020 $43,599 $27,608 
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.
We recorded a partial valuation allowance against certain interest carryforwards in the U.S. at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We are continually evaluating both the positive and negative evidence for this partial valuation allowance. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of this deferred tax asset and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability and future utilization of this attribute that we are able to actually achieve.
8. 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, 2023 and 2022 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, 2023June 30, 2022June 30, 2023June 30, 2022
Basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding152,700 156,477 152,609 156,950 
Dilutive effect of stock options55 190 103 331 
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted securities309 327 482 531 
Diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding153,064 156,994 153,194 157,812 
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 February 6, 2023, we prepaid $250.0 million of outstanding principal on our Term Loan balance. Accordingly, that portion of the principal balance outstanding on the Term Loan as of December 31, 2022 was presented as current portion of long-term debt. On May 3, 2023, we prepaid $196.8 million of outstanding principal on the Term Loan, representing the remaining balance on the Term Loan as of that date plus $0.5 million in interest.
Our debt consists of secured credit facilities and various tranches of senior unsecured notes. Refer to Note 14: Debt of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Annual Report for additional information regarding our existing indebtedness.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $746.1 million available under our $750.0 million revolving credit facility (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, 2023, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued interest totaled $48.9 million and $50.1 million, respectively.
11. 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.
12. Shareholders' Equity
Cash Dividends
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $18.3 million and $35.1 million, respectively, compared to $17.2 million in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. On July 20, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, payable on August 23, 2023 to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2023.

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. 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.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.6 million ordinary shares (for an aggregate value of $25.1 million). We did not repurchase any ordinary shares under this program in the three months ended March 31, 2023. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 1.7 million ordinary shares (for an aggregate value of $78.9 million) and 2.8 million ordinary shares (for an aggregate value of $146.2 million), respectively. All share repurchases in these periods were made under the January 2022 Program. As of June 30, 2023, $199.4 million remained available for repurchase under the January 2022 Program.

Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
We evaluated our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of October 1, 2022 and determined that they were not impaired. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we exited the Marine Business, as discussed further in Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges, Net. We considered the exit of the Marine Business and determined that goodwill related to the Clean Energy Solutions reporting unit was not impaired as of the date of the exit. No other events or changes in circumstances occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2023 that would have triggered the need for an additional impairment review of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

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, 2023, the termination value of outstanding derivatives in a liability position, excluding any adjustment for non-performance risk, was $13.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had not 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.
15. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
Elastic M2M
On February 11, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interests of Elastic M2M Inc. ("Elastic M2M") for an aggregate cash purchase price of $51.6 million, subject to certain post-closing items. In addition to the aggregate cash purchase price, the previous shareholders of Elastic M2M are entitled to up to $30.0 million of additional acquisition-related incentive compensation, which was pending the completion of certain technical milestones in fiscal year 2022 and achievement of financial targets in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. All technical milestones were completed in fiscal year 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had recognized $24.7 million of this acquisition-related incentive compensation. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized an additional $0.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of this acquisition-related incentive compensation. This acquisition-related incentive compensation is recorded in restructuring and other charges, net.
Elastic M2M is an innovator of connected intelligence for operational assets across heavy-duty transport, warehouse, supply chain and logistics, industrial, light-duty passenger car, and a variety of other industry segments. Elastic M2M primarily serves telematics service providers and resellers, enabling them to leverage Elastic M2M’s cloud platform and analytics capabilities to deliver sensor-based operational insights to their end users. This acquisition augments our cloud capabilities critical to delivering actionable sensor-based insights, an increasingly important capability in this fast-growing industry segment. We are integrating Elastic M2M into the Performance Sensing reportable segment.
The allocation of the purchase price related to this acquisition was finalized in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Net working capital, excluding cash$35 
Goodwill28,211

Deferred income tax liabilities(5,925)
Fair value of net assets acquired, excluding cash and cash equivalents50,021 
Cash and cash equivalents1,597 
Fair value of net assets acquired$51,618 
The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition represents future economic benefits expected to arise from synergies from combining operations and the extension of existing customer relationships. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

In connection with the allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we identified certain definite-lived intangible assets. The following table presents the acquired intangible assets, their estimated fair values, and weighted-average lives:
Acquisition Date Fair ValueWeighted-Average Lives (years)
Acquired definite-lived intangible assets
Customer relationships$17,500 13
Completed technologies10,200 10
Total definite-lived intangible assets acquired$27,700 12
The definite-lived intangible assets were valued using the income approach. We primarily used the relief-from-royalty method to value completed technologies, and we used the multi-period excess earnings method to value customer relationships. These valuation methods incorporate assumptions including expected discounted future net cash flows resulting from either the future estimated after-tax royalty payments avoided as a result of owning the completed technologies or the future earnings related to existing customer relationships.
Dynapower
On July 12, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of DP Acquisition Corp ("Dynapower"), a leader in power conversion systems including inverters, converters, and rectifiers for renewable energy generation, green hydrogen production, electric vehicle charging stations, and microgrid applications, as well as industrial and defense applications, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $577.5 million, subject to certain post-closing items. Dynapower also provides aftermarket sales and service to maintain its equipment in the field.
Dynapower is a foundational addition to our Clean Energy Solutions strategy and complements our recent acquisitions of GIGAVAC, Lithium Balance, and Spear. We are integrating Dynapower into our Sensing Solutions reportable segment.
We recorded measurement period adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2023 that predominantly reflected an updated valuation of definite-lived intangible assets. Accordingly, definite-lived intangible assets increased $57.2 million (primarily customer relationships). Along with other adjustments, including the associated deferred income tax liability on acquired intangibles, goodwill decreased $41.0 million. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Net working capital, excluding cash$12,514 
Property, plant and equipment1,846 
Goodwill377,267 
Other intangible assets221,600 
Other assets1,656 
Deferred income tax liabilities(40,785)
Other long-term liabilities(1,035)
Fair value of net assets acquired, excluding cash and cash equivalents573,063 
Cash and cash equivalents4,410 
Fair value of net assets acquired$577,473 
The allocation of purchase price of Dynapower is preliminary and is based on management’s judgments after evaluating several factors, including preliminary valuation assessments of intangible assets. The final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired will be completed when the final valuations are completed. The preliminary goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition represents future economic benefits expected to arise from synergies from combining operations and the extension of existing customer relationships. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The definite-lived intangible assets were valued using the income approach. We primarily used the relief-from-royalty method to value completed technologies and tradenames, and we used the multi-period excess earnings method to value customer relationships. These valuation methods incorporate assumptions including expected discounted future net cash flows resulting from either the future estimated after-tax royalty payments avoided as a result of owning the completed technologies or the future earnings related to existing customer relationships.
Divestiture - Qinex Business
On May 27, 2022, we executed an asset purchase agreement (the "APA") whereby we agreed to sell various assets and liabilities comprising our semiconductor test and thermal business (collectively, the "Qinex Business") to LTI Holdings, Inc. ("LTI") in exchange for consideration of approximately $219.0 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Concurrent with the execution of the APA, the parties entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement ("CMA") and a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"), each for nominal consideration.
The CMA commenced at closing of the transaction ("Closing") and had a term of either six or nine months, depending on the manufacturing site. LTI also had the option of extending each contract for an additional three months. The period from Closing to the end of the CMA term (including extensions, if any) is referred to as the "Transition Period." The terms of the CMA required that we provide manufacturing and distribution services for the Transition Period. The TSA commenced at Closing and had a term that varied depending on the nature of the support services, ranging from one month to the entirety of the Transition Period. The terms of the TSA required that we provide various forms of commercial, operational, and back-office support to LTI. The Transition Period ended in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Closing occurred in July 2022, at which time assets of approximately $70 million (including allocated goodwill of $45 million) and liabilities of approximately $2 million transferred to LTI. Transferred assets and liabilities excluded inventories and accounts payable, which transferred to LTI at the end of the Transition Period. We received cash consideration of $198.8 million at Closing and recognized a pre-tax gain of $135.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. Cash consideration received at Closing excluded amounts held in escrow until various milestones were met through the Transition Period. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we received an escrow payment of $15.0 million, which includes $10.0 million (presented in cash flows from operating activities) related to the transfer of inventory. Approximately $4.0 million remains in escrow as of June 30, 2023.
The Qinex Business manufactured semiconductor burn-in test sockets and thermal control solutions and was formed through the combination of Sensata’s semiconductor interconnect business with Wells-CTI in 2012. The Qinex Business was included in our Sensing Solutions segment (and Industrial Solutions reporting unit). We allocated goodwill to the Qinex Business based on its fair value relative to the total fair value of the Industrial Solutions reporting unit.
16. Segment Reporting
We present financial information for two reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. The Performance Sensing reportable segment consists of two operating segments, Automotive and HVOR, which meet the criteria for aggregation in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The Sensing Solutions reportable segment is also an operating segment. Effective April 1, 2023, we moved our material handling products from the HVOR operating segment (in the Performance Sensing reportable segment) to the Sensing Solutions operating segment to align with new management reporting. This product move resulted in a reallocation of $57.1 million of goodwill from the HVOR reporting unit to the Industrial Solutions reporting unit based on its fair value relative to the total fair value of the HVOR reporting unit.

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 2022 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, 2023 and 2022. The amounts previously reported in the table below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 have been retrospectively recast to reflect the move of the material handling products between operating segments as described above. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have been retrospectively adjusted for this change.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the discussion in Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2022 Annual Report. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Amounts and percentages in the following discussions have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding.
Overview
Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,062.1 million, an increase of 4.1% compared to $1,020.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding a decrease of 1.4% attributed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase of 2.1% due to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, net revenue increased 3.4% on an organic basis. Organic revenue growth (or decline), discussed throughout this Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (this "MD&A"), is a financial measure not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures included elsewhere in this MD&A for additional information regarding our use of organic revenue growth (or decline).
Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,060.3 million, an increase of 3.2% compared to $1,996.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding a decrease of 1.9% attributed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase of 1.1% due to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, net revenue increased 4.0% on an organic basis.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $20.9 million, or 15.1%, to $118.0 million (11.1% of net revenue) from $138.9 million (13.6% of net revenue) in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decline was largely driven by our decision to exit the Marine Business in the second quarter of 2023 (reflecting $38.3 million of charges incurred, including those related to accelerated amortization of intangible assets, write-down of inventory, and other restructuring charges), partially offset by the net impacts of pricing recoveries from customers, inflation on material and logistics costs, and volume leverage. Refer to Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges, Net, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding the exit of the Marine Business.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $2.0 million, or 0.7%, to $266.9 million (13.0% of net revenue) compared to $264.9 million (13.3% of net revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as the charges incurred related to the Marine Business were more than offset by the net impacts of pricing recoveries from customers, inflation on material and logistics costs, and volume leverage.
Refer to Results of Operations included elsewhere in this MD&A for additional discussion of our earnings results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period.
We generated $212.6 million of operating cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2023, ending the quarter with $857.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used approximately $448.4 million to pay down the remaining balance on our variable-rate Term Loan, bringing our gross indebtedness to $3.8 billion as of June 30, 2023 (a net leverage ratio of 3.2x) compared to $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2022 (a net leverage ratio of 3.4x). In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used cash of approximately $84.4 million for capital expenditures, $35.1 million for payment of dividends, and $25.1 million for share repurchases as part of our share repurchase plan. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we increased our cash dividends to $0.12 per share, first paid to shareholders of record in May 2023. In fiscal year 2023, we will continue to return capital to shareholders through our dividend and opportunistic share repurchases. We expect improving free cash flow will naturally allow leverage to decline and returns on invested capital to improve over time.
Results of Operations
The table below presents our historical results of operations, in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased from the prior period, primarily due to (1) the $10.5 million write-down of inventory as a result of our decision to exit the Marine Business, (2) the unfavorable effect of acquisitions and divestitures on gross margin, (3) the unfavorable effect of product mix, and (4) the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the net impacts of pricing recoveries from customers, inflation on material and logistics costs, and volume leverage. Refer to Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges, Net, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details regarding the charges related to the exit of the Marine Business.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased from the prior period, primarily due to (1) the unfavorable effect of product mix, (2) the $10.5 million write-down of inventory as a result of our decision to exit the Marine Business, (3) the unfavorable effect of acquisitions and divestitures on gross margin, and (4) the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the net impacts of pricing recoveries, inflation, and volume leverage.
Research and development expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, research and development ("R&D") expense decreased from the prior period, primarily due to lower costs as a result of repositioning actions taken in fiscal year 2022, partially offset by higher spend to support increased revenue.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, R&D expense decreased from the prior period, primarily due to (1) lower costs as a result of repositioning actions taken in fiscal year 2022 and (2) the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher spend to support increased revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense decreased from the prior period, primarily as a result of (1) cost savings as a result of repositioning actions taken in fiscal year 2022, and (2) lower transaction costs as a result of reduced mergers and acquisitions activity, partially offset by (1) increased SG&A expense from our acquisitions (net of divestitures) and (2) increased share-based compensation expense. Refer to Note 15: Acquisitions and Divestitures and Note 4: Share-Based Payment Plans of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding acquired businesses and share-based compensation.

Amortization of intangible assets
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, amortization of intangible assets increased from the prior period, primarily due to (1) a charge of $13.5 million for accelerated amortization of intangible assets as a result of our exit from the Marine Business and (2) increased amortization due to newly acquired intangible assets. Refer to Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges, Net, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional details regarding the charges regarding the exit of the Marine Business.
Restructuring and other charges, net
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring and other charges, net increased from the prior period, primarily due to (1) charges incurred as a result of our exit from the Marine Business and (2) an increase in severance charges that were not the result of initiation of a larger restructuring plan, partially offset by lower acquisition-related deferred compensation. Refer to Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges, Net of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding the components of restructuring and other charges, net, including the exit of the Marine Business.

Table of Contents
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring and other charges, net increased slightly from the prior period, as negative factors such as (1) charges incurred as a result of our exit from the Marine Business, (2) the non-recurrence of a gain recognized in the first quarter of 2022 related to the reduction of the liability for contingent consideration for Spear, and (3) an increase in severance charges that were not the result of initiation of a larger restructuring plan, were largely offset by positive factors such as (1) a reduction in expense for acquisition-related compensation arrangements and (2) the gain on sale of a business in the first quarter of 2023.
Operating income
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, operating income decreased compared to the prior period, primarily due to (1) $38.3 million of charges incurred as a result of our exit from the Marine Business, (2) the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, (3) the dilutive impact of acquisitions and divestitures, and (4) unfavorable product mix, partially offset by (1) the net impacts of pricing recoveries, inflation, and volume leverage, (2) cost savings as a result of repositioning actions taken in fiscal year 2022, and (3) lower acquisition-related deferred compensation.

These drivers were partially offset by (1) $38.3 million of charges incurred as a result of our exit from the Marine Business, (2) the dilutive impact of acquisitions and divestitures, (3) the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, (4) unfavorable product mix, (5) the impact of the non-recurrence of a gain recognized in the first quarter of 2022 related to the reduction of the liability for contingent consideration for Spear, and (6) an increase in severance charges that were not the result of initiation of a larger restructuring plan.
Interest expense, net
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, interest expense, net decreased $6.7 million from the prior period, primarily due to (1) increased interest income as a result of increasing interest rates and (2) lower interest expense on the Term Loan due to the early payment on the Term Loan in the first and second quarters of 2023, partially offset by increased interest expense due to the net impact of the early redemption of the 4.875% Senior Notes and the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes in the third quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 14: Debt of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Annual Report and Note 10: Debt, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding these debt transactions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest expense, net decreased $12.1 million from the prior period, primarily due to increased interest income as a result of increasing interest rates, partially offset by increased interest expense due to the net impact of the early redemption of the 4.875% Senior Notes and the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes in the third quarter of 2022.
Other, net
Other, net primarily includes currency remeasurement gains and losses on net monetary assets, gains and losses on foreign currency and commodity forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, mark-to-market gains and losses on investments, losses related to debt refinancing, and the portion of our net periodic benefit cost excluding service cost. Refer to Note 6: Other, Net of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more details regarding the components of other, net.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other, net represented a net loss of $10.9 million, a favorable impact on earnings of $28.3 million compared to a net loss of $39.2 million in the prior period. This favorable impact was primarily due to (1) the non-recurrence of mark-to-market losses on equity investments, primarily our investment in Quanergy Systems Inc. ("Quanergy"), in the second quarter of 2022, (2) lower losses on commodity forward contracts, and (3) lower currency remeasurement loss on net monetary assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, other, net represented a net loss of $9.5 million, a favorable impact on earnings of $80.2 million compared to a net loss of $89.7 million in the prior period. This was largely due to (1) the non-recurrence of mark-to-market losses on equity investments, primarily our investment in Quanergy, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, (2) the combined impact of lower currency remeasurement loss on net monetary assets and higher gains on foreign currency forward contracts, and (3) lower losses on commodity forward contracts.

Provision for income taxes
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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for income taxes decreased $0.1 million from the prior period, predominantly due to the inability to benefit the 2022 mark-to-market loss on our investment in Quanergy.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for income taxes increased $16.0 million from the prior period, predominantly due to the increase in profit before tax and the inability to benefit the 2022 mark-to-market loss on our investment in Quanergy.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section provides additional information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures, including organic revenue growth (or decline), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), free cash flow, net leverage ratio, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), which are used by our management, Board of Directors, and investors. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance, and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. 
The use of our non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. They should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, reported net revenue growth (or decline), operating income, operating margin, net income, diluted EPS, net cash provided by operating activities, or total debt, finance lease and other financing obligations, respectively, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our measures of organic revenue growth (or decline), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow, net leverage ratio, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as, or comparable to, similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
Organic revenue growth (or decline) and market outgrowth
Organic revenue growth (or decline) is defined as the reported percentage change in net revenue, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the period-over-period impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences as well as the net impact of material acquisitions and divestitures for the 12-month period following the respective transaction date(s).
We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides investors with helpful information with respect to our operating performance, and we use organic revenue growth (or decline) to evaluate our ongoing operations as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior-year period.
Market outgrowth is calculated as organic revenue growth less our weighted market growth. Our weighted market growth is calculated using our regional and platform sales mix, as applicable, in the corresponding prior period. Market outgrowth is used to describe the impact of an increasing quantity and value of our products used in customer systems and applications above market growth. We believe this provides a more meaningful comparison of our revenue growth relative to the markets we serve.
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS
We define adjusted operating income as operating income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described under the heading Non-GAAP Adjustments below. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by net revenue determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income as follows: net income (or loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described under the heading Non-GAAP Adjustments below. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.
26

Table of Contents
We may also refer to certain of these measures, or changes in these measures, on a constant currency basis. Adjusted operating margin calculated on a constant currency basis is determined by stating revenues and expenses at prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on all hedges. Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis is determined in the same manner as adjusted operating margin, but also excludes the change in gain or loss on the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities.
Management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS (and the constant currency equivalent of each) as measures of operating performance, for planning purposes (including the preparation of our annual operating budget), to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, in communications with our Board of Directors and investors concerning our financial performance, and as factors in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe investors and securities analysts also use these non-GAAP financial measures in their evaluation of our performance and the performance of other similar companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of liquidity.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized software. We believe free cash flow is useful to management and investors as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to, among other things, fund acquisitions, repurchase ordinary shares, and (or) accelerate the repayment of debt obligations.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, net, provision for (or benefit from) income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and the following non-GAAP adjustments, if applicable: (1) restructuring related and other, (2) financing and other transaction costs, and (3) deferred loss or gain on derivative instruments. Refer to Non-GAAP Adjustments below for additional discussion of these adjustments. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
Net leverage ratio
Net leverage ratio represents net debt (total debt, finance lease and other financing obligations less cash and cash equivalents) divided by last twelve months ("LTM") adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the net leverage ratio is a useful measure to management and investors in understanding trends in our overall financial condition.
Non-GAAP adjustments
Many of our non-GAAP adjustments relate to a series of strategic initiatives developed by our management aimed at better positioning us for future revenue growth and an improved cost structure. These initiatives have been modified from time to time to reflect changes in overall market conditions and the competitive environment facing our business. These initiatives include, among other items, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings of certain business, supply chain or corporate activities, and various financing transactions. We describe these adjustments in more detail below, each of which is net of current tax impacts, as applicable.
Restructuring related and other: includes net charges related to certain restructuring and other exit activities as well as other costs (or income) that we believe are either unique or unusual to the identified reporting period, and that we believe impact comparisons to prior period operating results. Such costs include charges related to optimization of our manufacturing processes to increase productivity. This type of activity occurs periodically, however each action is unique, discrete, and driven by various facts and circumstances. Such amounts are excluded from internal financial statements and analyses that management uses in connection with financial planning and in its review and assessment of our operating and financial performance, including the performance of our segments.
Financing and other transaction costs: includes losses or gains related to debt financing transactions, losses or gains related to the divestiture of a business, costs incurred, including for legal, accounting, and other professional services, that are directly related to an acquisition, divestiture, or equity financing transaction, mark-to-market losses or gains on our equity investments, expenses related to compensation arrangements entered into concurrent with the closing of an acquisition, and gains related to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration amounts.
Deferred loss or gain on derivative instruments: includes unrealized losses or gains on derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting as well as the impact of commodity prices on our raw material costs relative to the strike price on our commodity forward contracts.
27

Table of Contents
Step-up depreciation and amortization: includes depreciation expense associated with the step-up in fair value of assets acquired in connection with a business combination (e.g., property, plant and equipment and inventories) and amortization of intangible assets.
Deferred taxes and other tax related: includes adjustments for book-to-tax basis differences due primarily to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and goodwill, the utilization of net operating losses, and adjustments to our valuation allowance in connection with certain acquisitions and tax law changes. Other tax related items include certain adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits and withholding tax on repatriation of foreign earnings.
Amortization of debt issuance costs: represents interest expense related to the amortization of deferred financing costs as well as debt discounts, net of premiums.
Where applicable, the current income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.
Our definition of adjusted net income excludes the deferred provision for (or benefit from) income taxes and other tax related items described above. As we treat deferred income taxes as an adjustment to compute adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items presented below would not change adjusted net income for any period presented.

Total$857.3 $1,225.5 
The amount of cash and cash equivalents held in these geographic regions fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors, such as our use of intercompany loans and dividends and the timing of cash receipts and disbursements in the normal course of business. Our earnings are not considered to be permanently reinvested in certain jurisdictions in which they were earned. We recognize a deferred tax liability on these unremitted earnings to the extent the remittance of such earnings cannot be recovered in a tax-free manner.
In certain jurisdictions, our cash balances are subject to withholding taxes immediately upon withdrawal of funds to a different jurisdiction. In addition, in order to take advantage of incentive programs offered by various jurisdictions, including tax incentives, we are required to maintain minimum cash balances in these jurisdictions. The transfer of cash from these jurisdictions could result in loss of incentives or higher cash tax expense, but those impacts are not expected to be material.

Cash Flows:
The table below summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. We have derived these summarized statements of cash flows from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Amounts in the table below have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding.

Net change$(368.2)$(150.4)
Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to higher net income and timing of supplier payments and customer receipts. The increase was partially offset by additional cash paid on interest of $15.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior period.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to (1) the fact that there were no acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2023 (compared to $49.0 million paid for Elastic M2M in the prior period) and (2) we paid $0.4 million to invest in debt and equity securities (compared to $6.9 million in the prior period), partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $10.4 million. In addition, we received cash proceeds of $19.0 million from the sale of businesses in the six months ended June 30, 2023. For fiscal year 2023, we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $170.0 million to $180.0 million, which we expect to fund with cash on hand.

Table of Contents
Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased primarily due to (1) the early payment of the entire Term Loan balance made in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and (2) an increase in cash paid to shareholders in the form of cash dividends of $17.9 million, partially offset by lower cash paid to repurchase ordinary shares as part of our share repurchase program.
Indebtedness and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2023, we had $3.8 billion in gross indebtedness, which includes finance lease and other financing obligations and excludes debt discounts, premiums, and deferred financing costs.
Capital Resources
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Credit Agreement provides for Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisting of the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, and incremental availability (the "Accordion") under which additional secured credit facilities could be issued under certain circumstances. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repaid the Term Loan balance in full.
Sources of liquidity
Our sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit. Availability under the Accordion varies each period based on our attainment of certain financial metrics as set forth in the terms of the Credit Agreement and the indentures under which our senior notes were issued (the "Senior Notes Indentures"). As of June 30, 2023, availability under the Accordion was approximately $1.2 billion.
We believe, based on our current level of operations and taking into consideration the restrictions and covenants included in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes Indentures, that the sources of liquidity described above will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures, dividend payments, ordinary share repurchases, and debt service for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot make assurances that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Further, our highly-leveraged nature may limit our ability to procure additional financing in the future.
Our ability to raise additional financing, and our borrowing costs, may be impacted by short- and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based, in significant part, on our performance as measured by certain credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. As of July 21, 2023, Moody’s Investors Service’s corporate credit rating for STBV was Ba2 with a stable outlook, and Standard & Poor’s corporate credit rating for STBV was BB+ with a stable outlook. Any future downgrades to STBV's credit ratings may increase our future borrowing costs but will not reduce availability under the Credit Agreement.
Restrictions and Covenants
The Credit Agreement provides that if our senior secured net leverage ratio exceeds a specified level, we are required to use a portion of our excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, generated by operating, investing, or financing activities to prepay some or all of the outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Credit Agreement also requires mandatory prepayments of the outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities upon certain asset dispositions and casualty events, in each case subject to certain reinvestment rights, and upon the incurrence of certain indebtedness (excluding any permitted indebtedness). These provisions were not triggered during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes Indentures contain restrictions and covenants that limit the ability of our wholly-owned subsidiary, STBV, and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur subsequent indebtedness, sell assets, pay dividends, and make other restricted payments. For a full discussion of these restrictions and covenants, refer to Part II, Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capital Resources included in our 2022 Annual Report. These restrictions and covenants, which are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes Indentures, were taken into consideration when we established our share repurchase programs and will be evaluated periodically with respect to future potential funding of those programs. As of June 30, 2023, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants and default provisions under our credit arrangements.

Share repurchase programs
From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized various share repurchase programs, which may be modified or terminated by our Board at any time. We currently have authorization for the January 2022 Program, under which approximately $199.4 million remained available as of June 30, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased 0.6 million and 2.8 million ordinary shares, respectively, under the January 2022 Program.
Dividends
In the second quarter of 2022, we began paying cash dividends of $0.11 per share to our shareholders. In the second quarter of 2023, we increased the dividends to $0.12 per share.

On July 20, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, payable on August 23, 2023 to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2023.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controls over financial reporting are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
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.
Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors, included in our 2022 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed therein.
