Summary

Amphenol Corporation reported a significant increase in net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, driven primarily by the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment. This growth reflects a broad strengthening across key markets including telecommunications, data communications, industrial, automotive, and wireless communications, indicating a recovery from the weaker demand experienced in 2009 due to the global economic crisis. Profitability also improved, with higher gross profit margins and operating income, particularly in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment. The company's financial condition remains robust, supported by strong operating cash flow, a substantial cash position, and available credit facilities. Management is confident in its ability to meet its obligations for the next twelve months. The company also reported a notable increase in goodwill, primarily due to an acquisition in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment.
