1.    Basis of Presentation

        Basis of Presentation—The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Tyco International Ltd., a company incorporated in Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter "we," the "Company" or "Tyco").

        The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2004, which present segment information previously included in Tyco International Ltd.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2003 to reflect the reclassification of information regarding the transfer of a business division from one segment to another and to present the results of the Tyco Global Network business held for sale within Corporate and Other segment data.

        The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. All references in this Form 10-Q to "$" are to U.S. dollars.

        Revenue Recognition—In providing services under certain contracts, Infrastructure Services (a business unit within the Engineered Products and Services segment) incurs sub-contract and other costs that are paid by Infrastructure Services and re-billed to their customers. These costs have historically been treated as "pass through" and were therefore not included in reported revenue nor cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services. Effective January 1, 2004, retroactive to October 1, 2003, the Company began reflecting these sub-contract costs in both net revenue and cost of revenue for Infrastructure Services, resulting in incremental revenue and cost of revenue of $180.6 million and $528.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The Company has not adjusted net revenue or cost of revenue for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2003 because such change was not material. Further, such adjustment would have no impact on previously reported operating income, net income or cash flow.

        Employee Share Option Plans—Tyco measures compensation cost in connection with employee share option plans using the intrinsic value based method and accordingly does not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price at the time of grant. Had the fair value based method been adopted by Tyco, the effect

on net income and earnings per common share for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been as follows ($ in millions):

  Diluted—pro forma     0.40     0.23     1.07     0.52  

(1)
The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a volatility of 46%, a risk free rate of 3.3% and an expected option life of 4 years for the quarter ended June 30, 2004; a volatility of 64%, a risk free rate of 2.5% and an expected option life of 5 years for the quarter ended June 30, 2003; a volatility of 47%, a risk free rate of 2.5% and an expected option life of 3.9 years for the nine months ended June 30, 2004; and a volatility of 64%, a risk free rate of 2.8% and an expected option life of 5 years for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. In addition, expected annual dividends per share of $0.05 was utilized for all periods presented.

        Accounting Pronouncements—In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," regarding the issue of disclosures for marketable equity securities and debt securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The EITF also provides guidance for evaluating whether investments are other than temporarily impaired and requires additional quantitative disclosure related to unrealized losses, specifically presentation of the aging of such losses. It also requires additional qualitative disclosures to help users understand why the quantitative disclosures are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The adoption of this EITF is effective for Tyco in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R further explains how to identity variable interest entities ("VIE") and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest and results of VIE in its financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 46R as of March 31, 2004. As a result, the joint ventures that were previously consolidated under FIN 46 were deconsolidated effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

5



        In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," to improve financial statement disclosure for defined benefit plans. This statement requires additional disclosures about the assets (including plan assets by category), obligations and cash flows of defined pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans in our annual report. It also requires reporting of various elements of pension and other postretirement benefit costs on a quarterly basis. Generally, the disclosures required are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003; however, information about foreign plans are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Tyco adopted the revised SFAS No. 132 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. See Note 12 for disclosure on retirement plans. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not impact our results of operations or financial position.

        In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," which supercedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." The issuance of SAB 104 reflects the concepts contained in EITF 00-21; the other revenue recognition concepts contained in SAB 101 remain largely unchanged. The issuance of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003." FSP No. 106-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") on postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. FSP No. 106-2 also requires certain disclosures regarding the effect of the federal subsidy provided by the Act. FSP No. 106-2 is effective for Tyco in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

2.    Consolidated Segment Data

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, our Precision Interconnect business was transferred from the Healthcare segment to the Electronics segment. Additionally, during the first quarter, the results of the Tyco Global Network ("TGN") business held for sale were reclassified from the Electronics segment to Corporate and Other. The Company has conformed its segment reporting accordingly and has reclassified comparative prior period information to reflect these changes.

Intangible assets not subject to amortization are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average amortization period.

        The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. In addition, intangible assets that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

        During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company reassessed the useful lives of certain intangible assets. This reassessment resulted in an immaterial charge to amortization expense due to shortening the amortization periods for certain patents and reclassifying certain tradenames to indefinite-lived intangible assets. The intangible asset classifications as of September 30, 2003 have been conformed to the current period presentation.

        As of June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the Company had $571.0 million and $571.4 million of intangible assets not subject to amortization, respectively. These assets primarily relate to intellectual property and consist of approximately $389 million of tradenames in our Healthcare segment, $154 million of intellectual property (primarily trademarks) in our Fire and Security segment and $28 million of other intangible assets not subject to amortization.

        Intangible asset amortization expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $186.9 million and $179.4 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense for the nine

13



months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $537.6 million and $548.2 million, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets currently owned by the Company is expected to be approximately $650 million for fiscal 2005, $550 million for fiscal 2006, $500 million for fiscal 2007, $450 million for fiscal 2008, and $400 million for fiscal 2009.

In December 2003, Tyco International Group S.A. ("TIG") entered into a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving bank credit facility which includes a one year term-out option and a $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility. These facilities have a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIG can vary based on changes in its credit rating. These new facilities replaced the $1.5 billion undrawn 364-day revolving credit facility, which had been due to expire in January 2004, and the $2.0 billion drawn 5-year revolving credit facility, which had been due to expire in February 2006. As of June 30, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under either facility.

(3)
During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the company purchased $303.4 million of these notes for cash of $345.7 million, including accrued interest, which resulted in a $38.0 million loss on the early retirement of debt.

(4)
In November 2003, TIG issued $1.0 billion 6% Notes due 2013 in a private placement offering. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. The net proceeds of approximately $987.7 million were used to repay a portion of the $2.0 billion outstanding under the 5-year revolving credit facility due 2006. These Notes

In November 2003, holders of principal amount at maturity of $3,196.7 million of zero coupon convertible debentures due 2020 notified Tyco that they had exercised their option to require Tyco to repurchase their debentures at a price of $775.66 per $1,000 principal at maturity representing the accreted value of the debentures on that date. On November 18, 2003, Tyco repurchased these debentures for cash of $2,479.6 million.

(6)
These instruments, plus $255.4 million of the amount shown as other, comprise the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2004.

        Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and minimum levels of net worth, and other covenants that limit our ability to pledge assets and to make substantial payments in connection with our capital shares. We have three synthetic lease facilities with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations. We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies

        Except as disclosed elsewhere in this document, our contractual obligations, contingencies and commitments for minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases have not changed materially from September 30, 2003.

        The Company has obligations under an off-balance sheet leasing arrangement for five cable-laying sea vessels. Upon expiration of this lease in fiscal 2007, a subsidiary of the Company has the option to buy these vessels for approximately $280 million, or return the vessels to the lessor and, under a residual guarantee, pay any shortfall in sales proceeds to the lessor from a third party in an amount not to exceed $235 million. As of June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, $54.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively, has been accrued for this obligation based on an estimate of the fair value of the vessels resulting from a third-party valuation.

        At June 30, 2004, the Company had a contingent liability of $80 million related to the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by the Electronics segment. The $80 million is the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. The $80 million was not accrued at June 30, 2004, as the outcome of this contingency cannot be reasonably determined.

        In June 2004, TIG entered into a $500 million three-year unsecured letter of credit facility. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, supported by a related line of credit facility. TIG may only borrow under the line of credit agreement to reimburse the bank for obligations with respect to letters of credit issued under this facility. The covenants under this facility are substantially similar to TIG's bank credit facilities entered into during December 2003 and the indenture related to TIG's 6% Notes due 2013 issued in November 2003. TIG would pay interest on any outstanding borrowings at a variable interest rate, based on the bank's base rate or the Eurodollar rate, as defined. Upon the occurrence of certain credit events, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings becomes fixed. The issuance of letters of credit under this facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 enabled the release of approximately $479 million of restricted cash and investments.

15



        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, members of our current Board of Directors have been added to the case as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") class actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an SEC inquiry, and some members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York County. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the SEC civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions, derivative actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

        We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Department of Labor and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in our Fire and Security segment received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices for the ADT dealer connect fees. As disclosed in our restated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A on July 29, 2003, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

        Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision.

        Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), subsidiaries of Tyco, are parties to a consolidated patent infringement action against Masimo Corporation ("Masimo"), et al., in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in which Nellcor alleges

16



that Masimo infringed one Nellcor patent related to pulse oximeters, which are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen levels in patients, and Masimo alleges that Nellcor infringed four Masimo patents related to pulse oximeters. Trial in the action commenced on February 18, 2004. On March 16, 2004, the jury returned a liability finding that Nellcor willfully infringed the four Masimo patents and that Masimo did not infringe the one Nellcor patent. On March 26, 2004, the jury awarded Masimo $134.5 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement through December 31, 2003. After hearing post-trial motions, the district court issued an order on July 14, 2004 which (i) denied Masimo's request to impose an injunction on the sale of pulse oximeters; (ii) reversed the jury finding of patent infringement for one of the four patents at issue; (iii) ruled that a second patent was unenforceable due to Masimo's inequitable conduct in seeking the patent; and (iv) overturned the jury finding that the infringement was "willful." On August 6, 2004, the district court entered final judgment that included additional damages of $29.5 million for Nellcor's alleged infringement from January 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004. Nellcor plans to appeal the jury's infringement decision on the remaining two Masimo patents to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Tyco has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the jury's decision will be overturned and, further, Tyco intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in Tyco's consolidated financial statements with respect to this damage award.

        Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, subsidiaries of Tyco, are defendants in a separate lawsuit brought by Masimo also pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In this lawsuit, Masimo alleges violations of antitrust laws against Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt in the markets for pulse oximeter products. Masimo alleges that Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt have used their market position to prevent hospitals from purchasing Masimo's pulse oximetry products. Masimo seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages. Trial is scheduled to begin on September 7, 2004. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of the antitrust case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter. It is possible that Tyco will be required to pay an award of damages in the antitrust lawsuit.

        U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In February 2002, the district court held that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The district court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is no longer on the market. In October 2003, the district court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other Applied Medical patents involved in the case were invalid. A trial on damages for the earlier infringement ruling in the district court concluded on July 27, 2004. The jury awarded Applied Medical $43.5 million in damages and returned a finding that the earlier infringement was willful. The district court has scheduled a hearing for September 20, 2004 to consider U.S. Surgical's motion to set aside the jury's finding on willfulness. If the willfulness finding is upheld, the district court has discretion to enhance those damages to up to treble the damages awarded to Applied Medical by the jury. The district court will also consider during post trial proceedings what pre-judgment interest, if any, should be awarded. Tyco has an accrual related to this matter, and believes that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        On July 31, 2003, Applied Medical filed another patent infringement suit against U.S. Surgical in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal Plus trocar product infringes Applied Medical's U.S. Patent No. 5,385,533. Applied

17



Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which the district court denied on December 23, 2003. Trial is currently scheduled to commence in March 2005. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of this patent infringement case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter.

        The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        As new internal controls and procedures are implemented, any reported allegations or violations of our guide to ethical conduct are investigated and appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures are taken. An allegation was brought to our attention that during the period from 1999 through 2003 certain improper payments were made by a non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco with fiscal 2003 revenue of $24 million. With the assistance of outside counsel, we conducted an internal investigation into these allegations and whether certain payments were correctly recorded in the books and records of the subsidiary. We have taken remedial steps and have reported the results of our investigation to the Department of Justice and the SEC and are cooperating with their inquiry. We do not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 30, 2004, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $150 million to $456 million. As of June 30, 2004, Tyco concluded that the best probable estimate within this range is approximately $277 million, of which $50 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $227 million is included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and accruals for environmental matters of $277 million, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Like many other companies, Tyco and some of our subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in our Healthcare segment and our Engineered Products and Services segment. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. Some of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.

        Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because our subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in our experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. We will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits and we have not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims.

        When appropriate, we settle claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of June 30, 2004, there were approximately 14,000 asbestos liability cases pending against us and our subsidiaries.

18


        We believe that we and our subsidiaries have substantial indemnification protection and insurance coverage, subject to applicable deductibles, with respect to asbestos claims. These indemnitors and the relevant carriers typically have been honoring their duty to defend and indemnify. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, based on our historical experience in asbestos litigation and an analysis of our current cases, we believe that we have adequate amounts accrued for potential settlements and adverse judgments in asbestos-related litigation. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, we believe that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account our substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

16.    Guarantees

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental

21



contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. Management does not believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 11 for a discussion of these liabilities.

        Due to the Company's exiting of certain operations as part of restructuring plans, acquisitions, or otherwise, the Company has leased properties which it has vacated but has sub-let to third parties. In the event third parties vacate the premises, the Company would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. The Company believes that the financial risk of default by sub-lessors is individually and in the aggregate not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In other instances, additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. Manufactured equipment is also warranted in the same manner as product warranties. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. Warranty period terms range from 90 days (e.g., consumable products) up to 20 years (e.g., power system batteries). The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage.

        Following is a roll forward of the Company's warranty accrual for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2004 ($ in millions).

Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Introduction

        Information for all periods presented below reflects the grouping of Tyco's businesses into five segments, consisting of Fire and Security, Electronics, Healthcare, Engineered Products and Services, and Plastics and Adhesives.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, our Precision Interconnect business was transferred from the Healthcare segment to the Electronics segment. Additionally, during the first quarter, the results of the Tyco Global Network ("TGN") business held for sale were reclassified from the Electronics segment to Corporate and Other. The Company has conformed its segment reporting accordingly and has reclassified comparative prior period information to reflect these changes.

Overview

        Net revenue increased 11.0% during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 to $10,451.0 million from $9,412.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Tyco had income from continuing operations of $922.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, up from $566.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 included net charges totaling $93.1 million, consisting of the following: (i) net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $57.9 million, of which charges of $2.3 million are included in cost of sales; (ii) net gains on divestitures totaling $2.8 million; and (iii) a loss of $38.0 million associated with the early retirement of debt. Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 included net charges totaling $160.4 million consisting of the following: (i) net restructuring, impairment and other credits of $34.7 million, of which credits of $7.0 million are included in cost of sales and credits of $18.3 million are included in general and administrative expenses, primarily related to changes in estimates to restructuring and other charges recorded in prior periods; (ii) other charges of $62.0 million, of which $42.0 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses related to uncollectible accounts receivable and product warranty accruals and $20.0 million is included in cost of sales; (iii) a loss of $151.8 million from the retirement of debt; and (iv) other interest income of $18.7 million.

        Net revenue increased 11.1% during the nine months ended June 30, 2004 to $30,371.9 million from $27,328.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Tyco had income from continuing operations of $2,424.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, up from $1,256.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

        For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, net revenue, operating income and margins, increased at each segment, except Plastics and Adhesives. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $1,528.7 million as compared to $1,208.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was an increase in net revenue of $315.5 million, primarily in the Fire and Security, Electronics and Engineered Products and Services segments and, to a lesser extent, in the Healthcare segment. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on operating income during the quarter was an increase of $24.6 million, primarily in the Healthcare and Electronics segments, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other.

        For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, net revenue, operating income and margins increased at each segment, except Plastics and Adhesives. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $4,017.9 million as compared to $2,893.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 contributed to an increase in net revenue of $1,469.4 million, primarily in the Fire and Security and Electronics segments and, to a lesser extent, in the Engineered Products and Services and Healthcare segments. Foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months contributed to an increase in operating income of $162.7 million, primarily in the Electronics and Healthcare segments and, to a lesser extent, in the Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services segments partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other.

        Additionally, Tyco is continuing to pursue the divestiture of non-core businesses. As part of this divestiture program, Tyco intends to sell the TGN, its undersea fiber optic telecommunications network, which was written down to its net estimated realizable value during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The remaining businesses being considered for sale had combined annualized revenue of approximately $2.0 billion in fiscal 2003, which represents about 6% of the Company's annual net revenue. Measured on the basis of revenue, more than half of the businesses are in the Fire and Security segment. We

30



expect our execution of potential divestitures to accelerate during the remainder of fiscal 2004. Based on such developments in potential transactions, we may be required to take future charges with respect to these businesses considered for disposition.

        During the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2004, we made progress with respect to the comprehensive cost reduction program that began in fiscal 2003. Restructuring activities during the quarter and nine months are discussed within the segment data below. We expect increased activity during the remainder of fiscal 2004.

Revenue and Operating Income and Margins

Fire and Security

        The following table sets forth revenue and operating income and margins for the Fire and Security segment ($ in millions):

Operating margins     9.3 %   6.6 %

        Net revenue for the Fire and Security segment increased 4.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the quarter ended June 30, 2003, consisting of a 7.6% increase in product revenue and a 1.6% increase in service revenue. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($105.4 million) partially offset by the effects of divestitures. To a lesser extent, the increase in net revenues was due to higher sales volume at Tyco Safety Products and stronger sales to retailers within worldwide security. A majority of this increase was offset by weakness in the worldwide fire services business.

        The increase in operating income and margins was due to increased sales volumes at Tyco Safety Products and improvements within worldwide security related primarily to the combined impact of a stronger retailer market environment and continued cost reductions. The manufacturing efficiencies and cost reductions partly reflect the benefits of the restructuring activities. These increases were partially offset by net restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges totaling $17.4 million, substantially all of which is associated with the comprehensive cost reduction measures that began during fiscal 2003. Additionally, operating income and margins benefited in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the same period in the prior year due to charges of $62.0 million recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 primarily associated with uncollectible receivables ($33 million) and product warranty accruals ($17 million).

        Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business decreased slightly to an average of 15.8% on a trailing twelve-month basis as of June 30, 2004, as compared to 15.9% as of March 31, 2004.

Operating margins     15.2 %   15.1 %

        Net revenue for the Electronics segment increased 13.1% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net revenue was primarily a result of growth in our existing businesses specifically, the automotive, computer, consumer electronics, communications and industrial and commercial markets. However, we continue to experience a decrease in sales of Power Systems products in North America and in our electrical services business. To a lesser extent, the increase in net revenue resulted from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($91 million).

        Operating income and margins increased primarily as a result of the increased sales discussed above. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 includes net restructuring and impairment credits of $2.2 million while operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 includes a restructuring credit of $13.1 million, of which $7.0 million is included in cost of sales, related to changes in estimates for severance, facilities-related charges, and distributor and supplier cancellation fees recorded in prior periods.

Operating margins     27.3 %   25.6 %

        Net revenue for the Healthcare segment increased 4.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net revenue resulted primarily from favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($43.8 million) and growth in our existing businesses. Growth in Healthcare's underlying businesses was primarily within Medical Devices and Supplies (includes Medical, Surgical, Respiratory, Imaging and International divisions) largely driven by higher sales volume within the Medical division. The increased volume at Medical resulted primarily from new SharpSafety product launches and gain in market share within the wound care market. Also contributing to the increase at Medical Devices and Supplies were higher sales at our International division, where higher sales in

32



Europe were partially offset by a revenue decrease in Japan, and increased sales at our Surgical division.

        The 10.5% increase in operating income and the 1.7 percentage point increase in margins in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were due primarily to the increased sales discussed above, favorable foreign currency exchange rates and improved product mix. Operating income and margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 included net restructuring, divestiture and impairment charges of $10.7 million. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 included restructuring and other credits of $7.1 million, of which $6.5 million is included in general and administrative expenses, related to an insurance reimbursement for certain legal fees associated with product liability cases.

Engineered Products and Services

        The following table sets forth revenue and operating income and margins for the Engineered Products and Services segment ($ in millions):

 
  For the Quarters Ended

        Net revenue for the Engineered Products and Services segment increased $484.2 million or 40.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the quarter ended June 30, 2003, of which $180.6 million or 15.3% represents the impact of certain sub-contract and other costs that are paid by Infrastructure Services and re-billed to their customers. These costs have historically been treated as "pass through" and were therefore not included in reported net revenue nor cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services. Effective January 1, 2004, retroactive to October 1, 2003, the Company began reflecting these sub-contract costs in both revenue and cost of revenue for Infrastructure Services. The Company has not adjusted net revenue or cost of revenue for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2003 because such change was not material. Further, such adjustment would have no impact on previously reported operating income, net income or cash flow.

        The remaining increase in net revenue resulted primarily from increased demand and higher selling prices as a result of increased raw material costs at Electrical & Metal Products in North America. Also contributing to the increase, although to a lesser extent, were favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($70.1 million) and increased demand at Flow Control in certain geographic regions.

        The increases in operating income and margins in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were due to the increased sales volume and higher selling prices discussed above. These increases were partially offset by net restructuring and divestiture charges of $7.8 million included in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The revenue reclassification at Infrastructure Services in the current quarter had no impact on operating income; however, this adjustment lowered operating margins for the current quarter by 1.7 percentage points.

33



Plastics and Adhesives

        The following table sets forth revenue and operating income and margins for the Plastics and Adhesives segment ($ in millions):

 
  For the Quarters Ended
June 30,

 
 
  2004
  2003
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 478.5   $ 489.4  
Operating income   $ 32.0   $ 54.1  
Operating margins     6.7 %   11.1 %

        Net revenues in Tyco Plastics and Adhesives decreased 2.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the quarter ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to sales declines at A&E Products and Adhesives partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($5.2 million) and increased sales in Plastics and, to a lesser extent, at Ludlow Coated Products. A&E's net revenue decline was primarily driven by declines in its hangers business, while the decrease in Adhesives was primarily due to volume declines in Italy. The increase in net revenue at Plastics related to new customers and volume increases in the do-it-yourself business, while, Ludlow Coated Products benefited from volume improvements in the Building Products business.

        The decreases in operating income and operating margins in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 over the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were due to net restructuring and impairment charges incurred during the current quarter totaling $8.9 million associated with the closure of two facilities, lower sales volume discussed above and margin declines at A&E Products. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 included a credit of $6.0 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses, related to the settlement of litigation.

Corporate and Other

        Corporate revenue of $5.8 million and $3.2 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, relates to the TGN business, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2003. Corporate expenses were $87.0 million and $91.0 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which include operating losses of $16.0 million and $32.6 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the TGN business held for sale. Corporate expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 also include net charges of $12.5 million, consisting of $8.2 million related to the permanent impairment of intangible assets, $5.1 million of charges related to changes in estimates primarily related to a severance accrual for certain terminated corporate employees, and a net restructuring credit of $0.8 million. Corporate expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 include net credits of $6.3 million, of which $5.8 million is included in general and administrative expenses, related primarily to changes in estimates of charges recorded in prior periods.

Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income was $15.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $39.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense was $223.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $287.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower debt balances and the favorable impact of interest rate swaps executed to achieve an appropriate balance between fixed and floating rate debt obligations.

Other Expense, Net

        During the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, the Company recorded losses from the retirement of debt of $38.0 million and $151.8 million, respectively.

34



Income Taxes

        Income tax expense was $358.5 million on pretax income of $1,284.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to income tax expense of $241.1 million on pretax income of $808.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Our effective income tax rate was 27.9% and 29.8% during the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The difference in the rate is primarily the result of increased profitability in operations outside of the U.S. and a decrease in non-deductible charges.

        Net revenue for the Fire and Security segment increased 6.5% in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the nine months ended June 30, 2003, consisting of a 8.8% increase in product revenue and a 4.6% increase in service revenue. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to favorable currency exchange rates ($498.4 million) slightly offset by the effects of divestitures. To a lesser extent, the increase in net revenue was due to higher sales volume of breathing systems and video and access control products at Tyco Safety Products and stronger sales to retailers within worldwide securty. A majority of this increase was offset by weakness in the worldwide fire service business.

        Operating income and margins increased significantly in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the same period in the prior year due partially to total charges of $349.7 million which were recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The $349.7 million includes net charges of $274.9 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews performed last fiscal year and a $77.0 million charge primarily related to the impairment of intangible assets in two geographic regions associated with the ADT dealer program. To a lesser extent, the increase in operating income and margins was due to improvements within worldwide security related primarily to the combined impact of a stronger retailer market environment and cost reductions. Also contributing to the increase were improvements within Tyco Safety Products due primarily to increased volumes and an improvement at continental Europe security as a result of cost saving initiatives and a changing business model. The cost reductions partly reflect the benefits of the restructuring activities described below. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating income at worldwide fire services, primarily due to lower sales volume as compared to the prior year period. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 also includes charges totaling $97.1 million, consisting primarily of restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges, substantially all of which are associated with the comprehensive cost reduction measures that began during fiscal 2003.

        Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security service business decreased to an average of 15.8% on a trailing twelve-month basis as of June 30, 2004, as compared to 15.9% as of September 30, 2003.

        Net revenue for the Electronics segment increased 12.0% in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the nine months ended June 30, 2003, consisting of a 12.3% increase in product revenue and a 3.9% increase in service revenue. The increase in net revenue was primarily a result of growth in our existing businesses specifically, the automotive, computer, consumer electronics, communications and industrial and commercial markets. However, we continue to experience a decrease in sales of Power Systems products in North America and in our electrical services business. To a lesser extent, the increase in net revenue resulted from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($455.4 million).

        Operating income increased 12.7% over the prior year, while margins remained essentially level. The increase in operating income is primarily due to the revenue growth discussed above and cost savings initiatives that were executed in fiscal 2003. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 includes net restructuring, divestiture and impairment charges totaling $12.6 million. These net charges include $43.6 million related to charges resulting from divestitures, partially offset by $31.0 million of net restructuring credits related to changes in estimates of severance, facility-related charges, and distributor and supplier cancellation fees recorded in prior periods. Operating income in the nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes a net credit of $74.7 million related to changes in estimates, of which $19.9 million has been included in cost of sales, due to completion of restructuring actions for less than originally anticipated. Offsetting these credits are charges of $28.8 million, of which $23.1 million is included in cost of sales, recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews, which were performed last fiscal year.

        Net revenue for the Healthcare segment increased 7.7% in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net revenue resulted primarily from growth in our existing businesses and favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($236.1 million). Growth in Healthcare's underlying businesses was primarily a result of increased revenue within Medical Devices and Supplies, and to a lesser extent, at Pharmaceuticals. The increase at Medical Devices and Supplies was largely driven by higher sales volume within the Medical division resulting primarily from new SharpSafety product launches and gain in market share within the wound care market. Also contributing to the increase at Medical Devices and Supplies were higher sales at our International division, particularly in Europe, and to a lesser extent Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as, growth in our Imaging and Respiratory divisions.

        The 14.5% increase in operating income and the 1.5 percentage point increase in margins in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 were due primarily to the favorable margin impact of the increased sales discussed above, favorable foreign currency exchange rates and a continued focus on maximizing operating efficiencies. Operating income and margins for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 include net restructuring, divestiture and impairment charges of $15.2 million. Operating income in the nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes $7.7 million of charges related to changes in estimates, which includes charges of $11.7 million related to asset reserves for inventory, restructuring credits of $4.7 million and charges of $0.7 million for adjustments to accrual balances related to workers compensation during the period. These charges arose from the Company's intensified internal audits performed in the prior fiscal year, and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates and detailed controls and operating reviews. During the nine months ended June 30, 2003, we also recorded restructuring and other credits of $8.2 million, of which $6.5 million is included in general and administrative expenses and $0.2 million is included in cost of sales, related to an insurance reimbursement for certain legal fees associated with product liability cases, and to a lesser extent, changes in estimate of charges recorded in prior periods.

Engineered Products and Services

        The following table sets forth revenue and operating income and margins for the Engineered Products and Services segment ($ in millions):

 
  For the Nine Months Ended
June 30,

 
 
  2004
  2003
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 3,516.6   $ 2,975.9  
Service revenue     1,033.8     484.0  
   
 
 
  Net revenue   $ 4,550.4   $ 3,459.9  
   
 
 
Operating income   $ 455.2   $ 285.2  
Operating margins     10.0 %   8.2 %

        Net revenue for the Engineered Products and Services segment increased $1,090.5 million or 31.5% in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the nine months ended June 30, 2003, of which $528.4 million or 15.3% represents the impact of certain sub-contract costs and other costs previously treated as "pass through" to customers at Infrastructure Services discussed above. The remaining increase in net revenue resulted primarily from increased demand and higher selling prices as a result of increased raw material costs at Electrical & Metal Products in North America and favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($258.9 million). Also contributing to the increase, although to a much lesser extent, were improved business conditions at Infrastructure Services and sales increases at Fire & Building Products due primarily to an improved construction market and continued market share growth.

37



        Operating income increased in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 due primarily to increased revenue. During the nine months ended June 30, 2004 net restructuring and divestiture charges of $17.2 million were recorded as compared to net restructuring and other charges of $33.1 million recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The charges of $33.1 million were recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year. The revenue reclassification at Infrastructure Services discussed above had no impact on operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004; however, this adjustment lowered operating margins for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 by 1.3 percentage points.

Plastics and Adhesives

        The following table sets forth revenue and operating income and margins for the Plastics and Adhesives segment ($ in millions):

 
  For the Nine Months Ended June 30,
 
 
  2004
  2003
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 1,408.3   $ 1,428.5  
Operating income   $ 52.6   $ 139.4  
Operating margins     3.7 %   9.8 %

        Net revenue at Tyco Plastics and Adhesives decreased 1.4% in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the nine months ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to sales declines at A&E Products and at Adhesives. These decreases were partially offset by an increase at Plastics primarily within the do-it-yourself, stretch and retail markets and the $20.6 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

        The significant decreases in operating income and operating margins in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 over the nine months ended June 30, 2003 were primarily due to impairment and restructuring charges incurred during the current period totaling $66.8 million associated with the closure of 24 facilities. The decrease in revenue discussed above and margin declines at A&E due to lower volumes and pricing pressure also contributed to the decrease in operating income and margins. These decreases were slightly offset by margin improvements at Plastics and Ludlow Coated Products resulting primarily from ongoing productivity efforts. Operating income in the nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes a net charge of $5.2 million, recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year.

Corporate and Other

        Corporate revenue of $17.3 million and $7.0 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, relates to the TGN business, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2003. Corporate expenses were $241.6 million and $397.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which include operating losses of $47.4 million and $89.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the TGN business held for sale. Corporate expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 include net charges of $105.0 million, which includes a $91.5 million incremental increase in directors and officers insurance, $19.9 million of charges related to changes in estimates primarily related to a severance accrual for corporate employees and credits of of $6.4 million due to costs being less than anticipated, which is also a change in estimate. These changes in estimate were recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed last fiscal year. Also included within corporate expenses for the nine months ended June 30,

38



2003 are charges of $35.2 million consisting primarily of $38.5 million related to internal investigation fees and charges associated with the severance of corporate employees offset by $6.0 million of credits of which $5.8 million is included in general and administrative expense.

Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income was $55.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $87.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense was $715.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $876.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Net interest expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes income of $18.7 million related to interest received on a tax refund. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower debt balances and the favorable impact of interest rate swaps executed to achieve an appropriate balance between fixed and floating rate debt obligations.

Other Expense, Net

        During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded losses from the retirement of debt totaling $42.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $127.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Also, during the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a loss of $75.6 million related to the write-down of various equity investments and $8.5 million of other expense related to a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee. These charges were recorded in connection with the Company's program of intensified internal audits performed in the prior fiscal year, and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates and detailed controls and operating reviews, and are considered to be changes in estimates.

Income Taxes

        Income tax expense was $884.6 million on pretax income of $3,320.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to income tax expense of $633.4 million on pretax income of $1,892.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Our effective income tax rate was 26.6% and 33.5% during the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The difference in the rate is primarily the result of increased profitability in operations outside the U.S. and a decrease in non-deductible charges.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period.

        Long-Lived Assets—Management periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. We carry long-lived assets at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated.

39



        Tyco generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program (discussed below under "Amortization Method for Customer Contracts").

        With respect to the Tyco's depreciation policy for security monitoring systems installed in residential and commercial customer premises, the costs of these systems are combined in separate pools for internally generated residential and commercial account customers, and generally depreciated over ten to fourteen years. Tyco concluded that for residential and commercial account pools the straight-line method of amortization over a ten to fourteen-year period continues to be appropriate given the observed actual attrition data for these pools.

        The determination of the depreciable lives of subscriber systems included in property, plant and equipment, and the amortizable lives of customer contracts and related customer relationships included in intangible assets, are primarily based on historical attrition rates, third-party lifing studies and the useful life of the underlying tangible asset. The realizable value and remaining useful lives of these assets could be impacted by changes in customer attrition rates. If the attrition rates were to rise, Tyco might be required to further accelerate the amortization.

        Goodwill—In performing our annual goodwill assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Since management's judgment is involved in performing goodwill valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of our goodwill may be overstated or understated.

        We elected to make July 1 the annual assessment date for all reporting units. Goodwill valuations have historically been calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. This approach includes many assumptions related to future growth rates, discount factors, future tax rates, etc. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in a goodwill impairment in future periods.

        Disruptions to our business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, the divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit, downgrades in our credit ratings, and market capitalization declines may result in our having to perform a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 first step valuation analysis for all of our reporting units prior to the required annual assessment. These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in additional charges for goodwill and other asset impairments in the future.

        Amortization Method for Customer Contracts—Tyco purchases residential security monitoring contracts from an external network of independent dealers who operate under the ADT dealer program. The purchase price of these customer contracts is recorded as an intangible asset (i.e., contracts and related customer relationships).

        As discussed above in "Long-Lived Assets," Tyco generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program. Intangible assets arising from the ADT dealer program described above are amortized in pools determined by the month of contract acquisition on an accelerated basis over the period and pattern of economic benefit which is expected to be obtained from the customer relationship. Tyco believes that the accelerated method that generally best achieves the matching objective described above is the double-declining balance method based on a ten-year life for the first eight years of the estimated life of the customer relationships converting to the straight-line method of amortization for the remaining four years of the estimated relationship period. Actual

40



attrition data is regularly reviewed in order to assess the continued applicability of the accelerated method of amortization described above.

        Revenue Recognition—Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems, undersea cable systems and other construction related projects are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon contracted revenue and related estimated cost to completion. The risk of this methodology is its dependence upon estimates of costs to completion, which are subject to the uncertainties inherent in long-term contracts. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable. If estimates are inaccurate, there is risk that our revenue and profits for the period may be overstated or understated.

        Income Taxes—Estimates of full year taxable income of the various legal entities and jurisdictions are used in the tax rate calculation, which change throughout the year. Management uses judgment in estimating what the income will be for the year. Since judgment is involved, there is risk that the tax rate may significantly increase or decrease in any period.

        In determining income (loss) for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain of the deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," also requires that the deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

        In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and international pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.

        We currently have recorded significant valuation allowances that we intend to maintain until it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent of offsetting decreases in our valuation allowance. The realization of our remaining deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on forecasted future taxable income. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

        In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result.

These amounts include cash paid for restructuring and other charges.

        The net change in working capital, net of the effects of divestitures and acquisitions, was an increase of $862.9 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004, including cash paid for restructuring and other charges of $177.2 million. The components of this change are set forth in detail in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The significant changes in working capital included a $254.5 million increase in inventories and a $181.4 million increase in accounts receivable.

        During the first nine months of fiscal 2004, the Company divested sixteen businesses within the Fire and Security, Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services segments for aggregate proceeds of $155.6 million in cash, of which $16.3 million of the proceeds are currently held in escrow. Total assets and total liabilities of the divested businesses were $258.9 million and $68.9 million, respectively. The total assets include cash retained by businesses sold of $11.0 million. Net revenue and net loss of these divested companies for fiscal 2004 through the date of disposition were $118.4 million and

43



$47.1 million, respectively. Net revenue and net loss of these divested companies for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 were $160.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. In connection with these dispositions, the Company recorded losses totaling $2.0 million. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2004, the Company liquidated three businesses, the results of which are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position. During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, the Company also recorded charges related to certain businesses held-for-sale, aggregating $80.6 million to reflect the amount by which the carrying value of such assets exceeded their estimated fair value.

        During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, we paid $42.0 million in cash that was charged against liabilities established in connection with acquisitions. In addition, we paid $41.0 million relating to holdback/earn-out liabilities related to certain prior period acquisitions. Holdback liabilities represent a portion of the purchase price that is withheld from the seller pending finalization of the acquisition balance sheet. Certain acquisitions have provisions which require Tyco to make additional "earn-out" payments to the sellers if the acquired company achieves certain milestones subsequent to its acquisition by Tyco. These earn-out payments are tied to certain performance measures, such as revenue, gross margin or earnings growth. Both of these amounts are included in "Cash paid for purchase accounting and holdback/earn-out liabilities" under Cash Flows From Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. At June 30, 2004, there remained $139.9 million in purchase accounting liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $40.3 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $99.6 million is included in other long-term liabilities. In addition, $181.9 million of holdback/earn-out liabilities remained on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $61.9 million are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $120.0 million are included in other long-term liabilities at June 30, 2004.

        During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, we paid $177.2 million in cash relating to liabilities for restructuring and other charges and recorded a net restructuring charge of $135.8 million. At June 30, 2004, there were liabilities of $239.0 million remaining for restructuring and other charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $103.4 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $135.6 million is included in other long-term liabilities.

        During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, we purchased approximately 222,500 customer contracts for electronic security services through our dealers program for cash of $187.1 million.

Capitalization

        Shareholders' equity was $29,599.9 million, or $14.74 per share, at June 30, 2004, compared to $26,369.0 million, or $13.20 per share, at September 30, 2003. The increase in shareholders' equity was due primarily to net income of $2,424.2 million and foreign currency translation adjustments of $569.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004.

        Tangible shareholders' deficit was $1,968.8 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $5,359.7 million at September 30, 2003. Goodwill and intangible assets were $31,568.7 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $31,728.7 million at September 30, 2003.

        At June 30, 2004, total debt was $17,084.7 million, as compared to $20,969.1 million at September 30, 2003. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and shareholders' equity) was 36.6% at June 30, 2004 and 44.3% at September 30, 2003. Our cash balance decreased to $4,025.3 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $4,186.7 million at September 30, 2003. Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) as a percent of net capitalization (net debt and shareholders' equity) was 30.6% and 38.9% at June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively.

        The following provides a debt reconciliation for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 ($ in millions):

Total debt at September 30, 2003       $ 20,969.1
Less: Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2003         4,186.7
       
Net debt balance at September 30, 2003         16,782.4

Less the following:

 

 

 

 

 
Operating cash flow   3,933.0      
Purchase of property, plant and equipment, net   (673.9 )    
Dividends paid   (75.1 )    
Acquisition of customer accounts (ADT dealer program)   (187.1 )    
Cash paid for purchase accounting and holdback/earn-out liabilities   (83.0 )    
Acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired   (13.9 )    
Disposal of businesses, net of cash retained by businesses sold   144.7      
Decrease in short term investments   411.3      
Decrease in current and non-current restricted cash   302.9      
Proceeds from the exercise of share options   124.2      
Foreign currency translation adjustments on debt   (188.6 )    
Impact of adoption of FIN 46R   65.3      
Other items   (36.8 )    
   
     
          3,723.0
       
Net debt balance at June 30, 2004         13,059.4
Plus: Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2004         4,025.3
       
Total debt at June 30, 2004       $ 17,084.7
       

        Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Net debt is total debt (the most comparable GAAP measure) minus cash and cash equivalents. Management believes net debt is an important measure of liquidity which it uses as a tool to measure its ability to meet its future debt obligations. Cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce our debt obligations.

        The limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash items and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates and may exclude certain cash items that are not readily available for repaying debt. This limitation is best addressed by using net debt in combination with the total debt figure because the net debt figure may be significantly lower than the GAAP figure. Net debt should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures.

        In November 2003, holders of principal amount at maturity of $3,196.7 million of zero coupon convertible debentures due 2020 notified Tyco that they had exercised their option to require Tyco to repurchase their debentures at a price of $775.66 per $1,000 principal at maturity representing the accreted value of the debentures on that date. On November 18, 2003, Tyco purchased these debentures for cash of $2,479.6 million.

        In November 2003, Tyco International Group S.A. ("TIG") issued $1.0 billion 6% Notes due 2013 in a private placement offering. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. The net proceeds of approximately $987.7 million were used to repay a portion of the $2.0 billion outstanding under the 5-year revolving credit facility due 2006. These Notes have been exchanged for registered Notes with substantially identical terms in an exchange offer that expired on May 3, 2004.

45



        In December 2003, TIG entered into a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving bank credit facility which includes a one year term-out option and a $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility. These facilities have a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIG can vary based on changes in its credit rating. These new facilities replaced the $1.5 billion undrawn 364-day revolving credit facility, which had been due to expire in January 2004, and the $2.0 billion drawn 5-year revolving credit facility, which had been due to expire in February 2006. As of June 30, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under either facility.

        During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the company purchased $303.4 million of its outstanding 8.2% notes due 2008 for cash of $345.7 million, including accrued interest, which resulted in a $38.0 million loss on the early retirement of debt.

        Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and minimum levels of net worth, and other covenants that limit our ability to pledge assets and to make substantial payments in connection with our capital shares. We have three synthetic lease facilities with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants is presently considered restrictive to our operations. We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

        The above transactions coincide with Tyco's overall strategy to strengthen its balance sheet by using a portion of its cash to reduce on and off-balance sheet debt, as announced on May 27, 2004.

        The following table details our debt ratings at September 30, 2003, March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.

 
  At June 30, 2004
  At March 31, 2004

Standard & Poor's   A2   BBB   A3   BBB-   A3   BBB-
Fitch   F3   BBB-   B   BB+   B   BB

        During the quarter, Fitch upgraded our rating on the senior unsecured debt of the Company, as well as on the unconditionally guaranteed debt of TIG to BBB- from BB+, and raised our commercial paper rating to F3 from B. Standard and Poor's upgraded our corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings to BBB from BBB- and our short-term corporate credit and commercial paper ratings to A2 from A3. Moody's upgraded our long term rating to Baa3 from Ba2, as well as our short term rating to Prime-3 from Not Prime.

        The security ratings set forth above are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

        As a result of the rating agencies' upgrade of Tyco's debt to investment grade status during the quarter, investors in one of our accounts receivable programs no longer have the option to discontinue reinvestment in new receivables.

Commitments and Contingencies

        Except as disclosed elsewhere in this document, our contractual obligations, contingencies and commitments for minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases have not changed materially from September 30, 2003.

        Tyco has obligations under an off-balance sheet leasing arrangement for five cable-laying sea vessels. Upon expiration of this lease in fiscal 2007, a subsidiary of Tyco has the option to buy these

46



vessels for approximately $280 million, or return the vessels to the lessor and, under a residual guarantee, pay any shortfall in sales proceeds to the lessor from a third party in an amount not to exceed $235 million. As of June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, $54.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively, has been accrued for this obligation based on an estimate of the fair value of the vessels resulting from a third-party valuation.

        At June 30, 2004, Tyco had a contingent liability of $80 million related to the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by the Electronics segment. The $80 million is the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. The $80 million was not accrued at June 30, 2004, as the outcome of this contingency cannot be reasonably determined.

        In June 2004, TIG entered into a $500 million three-year unsecured letter of credit facility. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, supported by a related line of credit facility. TIG may only borrow under the line of credit agreement to reimburse the bank for obligations with respect to the letters of credit issued under this facility. The covenants under this facility are substantially similar to TIG's bank credit facilities entered into during December 2003 and the indenture related to TIG's 6% Notes due 2013 issued November 2003. TIG would pay interest on any outstanding borrowings at a variable interest rate, based on the bank's base rate or the Eurodollar rate, as defined. Upon the occurrence of certain credit events, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings becomes fixed. The issuance of letters of credit under this facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 enabled the release of approximately $479 million of restricted cash and investments.

        In the normal course of business, Tyco is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, members of our current Board of Directors have been added to the case as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") class actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an SEC inquiry, and some members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York County. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the SEC civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions, derivative actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

        We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire,

47



the Department of Labor and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in our Fire and Security segment received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices for the ADT dealer connect fees. As disclosed in our restated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A on July 29, 2003, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

        Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. Management believes, that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), subsidiaries of Tyco, are parties to a consolidated patent infringement action against Masimo Corporation ("Masimo"), et al., in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in which Nellcor alleges that Masimo infringed one Nellcor patent related to pulse oximeters, which are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen levels in patients, and Masimo alleges that Nellcor infringed four Masimo patents related to pulse oximeters. Trial in the action commenced on February 18, 2004. On March 16, 2004, the jury returned a liability finding that Nellcor willfully infringed the four Masimo patents and that Masimo did not infringe the one Nellcor patent. On March 26, 2004, the jury awarded Masimo $134.5 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement through December 31, 2003. After hearing post-trial motions, the district court issued an order on July 14, 2004 which (i) denied Masimo's request to impose an injunction on the sale of pulse oximeters; (ii) reversed the jury finding of patent infringement for one of the four patents at issue; (iii) ruled that a second patent was unenforceable due to Masimo's inequitable conduct in seeking the patent; and (iv) overturned the jury finding that the infringement was "willful." On August 6, 2004, the district court entered final judgment that included additional damages of $29.5 million for Nellcor's alleged infringement from January 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004. Nellcor plans to appeal the jury's infringement decision on the remaining two Masimo patents to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Tyco has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the jury's decision will be overturned and, further, Tyco intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in Tyco's consolidated financial statements with respect to this damage award.

        Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, subsidiaries of Tyco, are defendants in a separate lawsuit brought by Masimo also pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In this lawsuit, Masimo alleges violations of antitrust laws against Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt in the markets for pulse oximeter products. Masimo alleges that Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt have used their market position to prevent hospitals from purchasing Masimo's pulse oximetry products. Masimo seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages. Trial is scheduled to begin on September 7, 2004. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of the antitrust case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the

48



range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter. It is possible that Tyco will be required to pay an award of damages in the antitrust lawsuit.

        U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In February 2002, the district court held that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The district court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is no longer on the market. In October 2003, the district court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other Applied Medical patents involved in the case were invalid. A trial on damages for the earlier infringement ruling in the district court concluded on July 27, 2004. The jury awarded Applied Medical $43.5 million in damages and returned a finding that the earlier infringement was willful. The district court has scheduled a hearing for September 20, 2004 to consider U.S. Surgical's motion to set aside the jury's finding on willfulness. If the willfulness finding is upheld, the district court has discretion to enhance those damages to up to treble the damages awarded to Applied Medical by the jury. The district court will also consider during post trial proceedings what pre-judgment interest, if any, should be awarded. Tyco has an accrual related to this matter, and believes that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        On July 31, 2003, Applied Medical filed another patent infringement suit against U.S. Surgical in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal Plus trocar product infringes Applied Medical's U.S. Patent No. 5,385,533. Applied Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which the district court denied on December 23, 2003. Trial is currently scheduled to commence in March 2005. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of this patent infringement case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter.

        Tyco is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. Tyco does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        As new internal controls and procedures are implemented, any reported allegations or violations of our guide to ethical conduct are investigated and appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures are taken. An allegation was brought to our attention that during the period from 1999 through 2003 certain improper payments were made by a non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco with fiscal 2003 revenue of $24 million. With the assistance of outside counsel, we conducted an internal investigation into these allegations and whether certain payments were correctly recorded in the books and records of the subsidiary. We have taken remedial steps and have reported the results of our investigation to the Department of Justice and the SEC and are cooperating with their inquiry. We do not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 30, 2004, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $150 million to $456 million. As of June 30, 2004, Tyco concluded that the best probable estimate within this range is approximately

49



$277 million, of which $50 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $227 million is included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of Tyco's financial position and accruals for environmental matters of $277 million, Tyco believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        Like many other companies, Tyco and some of our subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in our Healthcare segment and our Engineered Products and Services segment. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. Some of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.

        Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because our subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in our experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. We will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits and we have not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims.

        When appropriate, we settle claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of June 30, 2004, there were approximately 14,000 asbestos liability cases pending against us and our subsidiaries.

        We believe that we and our subsidiaries have substantial indemnification protection and insurance coverage, subject to applicable deductibles, with respect to asbestos claims. These indemnitors and the relevant carriers typically have been honoring their duty to defend and indemnify. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, based on our historical experience in asbestos litigation and an analysis of our current cases, we believe that we have adequate amounts accrued for potential settlements and adverse judgments in asbestos-related litigation. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, we believe that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account our substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Backlog

        At June 30, 2004, Tyco had a backlog of unfilled orders of $13,871.0 million compared to a backlog of $12,981.2 million at September 30, 2003. Backlog by industry segment is as follows ($ in millions):

 
  June 30, 2004
  September 30, 2003(1)(2)
Fire and Security   $ 7,052.9   $ 6,964.7
Engineered Products and Services     3,564.1     3,508.7
Electronics     2,695.3     2,024.7
Healthcare     318.1     297.1
Plastics and Adhesives     132.6     109.4
Corporate and Other     108.0     76.6
   
 
    $ 13,871.0   $ 12,981.2
   
 

(1)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, our Precision Interconnect business was transferred from the Healthcare segment to the Electronics segment. In addition, the results of the TGN business held for sale are presented within Corporate and Other. The Company has conformed its segment reporting accordingly and has reclassified comparative prior period information to reflect these changes.

(2)
Backlog at September 30, 2003 for Engineered Products and Services, includes a $1,447.3 million adjustment related to sub-contract costs that are paid by Infrastructure Services and re-billed to their customers. These costs have historically been treated as "pass through" and were therefore not previously included in reported revenue and cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services. During fiscal 2004, the Company began reflecting these subcontract cost in both revenue and cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services.

        Within the Fire and Security segment, backlog increased primarily as a result of favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Backlog for the Fire and Security segment includes recurring "revenue-in-force," which represents twelve months' fees for monitoring and maintenance services under contract in the security business. The amount of recurring revenue-in-force at June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 was $3,582.3 million and $3,606.7 million, respectively. Within the Engineered Products and Services segment, backlog increased primarily as a result of several new projects, increased unit volumes and high selling prices in the U.S. market due to the availability and price of steel. Within the Electronics segment, backlog increased primarily due to stronger orders resulting from an overall improvement in business conditions across the vast majority of its end markets. Backlog in the Healthcare and Plastics and Adhesives segments represents unfilled orders, which, in the nature of the business, are normally shipped shortly after purchase orders are received. We do not view backlog in the Healthcare and Plastics and Adhesives segments to be a significant indicator of the level of future sales activity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Sale of Accounts Receivable

        During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, the Company reduced outstanding balances under its accounts receivable securitization programs by $533.1 million, of which, $461.9 million relates to two of its corporate accounts receivable securitization programs. The remainder was a reduction under non-corporate programs. At June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the availability under corporate programs was $875 million and $1,025 million, respectively. At June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, $350 million and $803 million, respectively, was utilized.

        Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the Company eliminated the remaining $350 million balance outstanding under its corporate accounts receivable securitization programs.

Guarantees

        In the normal course of business, Tyco is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect Tyco's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, Tyco often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. Tyco does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. Management does not believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on Tyco's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        Tyco has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources Commitments and Contingencies" above.

        Due to Tyco's exiting of certain operations as part of restructuring plans, acquisitions, or otherwise, Tyco has leased properties which it has vacated but has sub-let to third parties. In the event third parties vacate the premises, Tyco would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. Tyco believes that the financial risk of default by sub-lessors is individually and in the aggregate not material to Tyco's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        Tyco generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In other instances, additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. Manufactured equipment is also warranted in the same manner as product warranties. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. Warranty period terms range from 90 days (e.g., consumable products) up to 20 years (e.g., power system batteries). The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage. The liability, which was $314.1 million as of June 30, 2004, is reviewed for reasonableness at least quarterly.

Accounting and Technical Pronouncements

        In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," regarding the issue of disclosures for marketable equity securities and debt securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The EITF also provides guidance for evaluating whether investments are other than temporarily impaired and requires additional quantitative disclosure related to unrealized losses, specifically presentation of the aging of such losses. It also requires additional qualitative disclosures to help users understand why the quantitative disclosures are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The adoption of this EITF is effective for Tyco in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R further explains how to identity variable interest entities ("VIE") and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest and results of VIE in its financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 46R as of March 31, 2004. As a result, the joint ventures that were previously consolidated under FIN 46 were deconsolidated effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," to improve financial statement disclosure for defined benefit plans. This statement requires additional disclosures about the assets (including plan assets by category), obligations and cash flows of defined pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans in our annual report. It also requires reporting of various elements of pension and other postretirement benefit costs on a quarterly basis. Generally, the disclosures required are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003, however, information about foreign plans are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Tyco adopted the revised SFAS No. 132 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," which supercedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." The issuance of SAB 104 reflects the concepts contained in EITF 00-21; the other revenue recognition concepts contained in SAB 101 remain largely unchanged. The issuance of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003." FSP No. 106-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") on postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. FSP No. 106-2 also requires certain disclosures regarding the effect of the federal subsidy provided by the Act. FSP No. 106-2 is effective for Tyco in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        The Company will continue to monitor proposed changes to existing accounting rules to ascertain the potential impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Risk Factors

        You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as competition, technological obsolescence, labor relations, general economic conditions, geopolitical events and international operations. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and our liquidity.

Risks Relating to Recent Developments at Tyco

        Continuing negative publicity may adversely affect our business.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco has been the subject of continuing negative publicity focusing on former senior corporate management's actions. This negative publicity contributed to significant declines in the prices of our publicly traded securities in 2002 and has brought increased regulatory scrutiny upon us. We also believe that many of our employees are operating under stressful conditions, which reduces morale and could lead to increased employee turnover. Continuing negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity and the market price of our publicly traded securities.

        Pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, members of our current Board of Directors have been added to the case as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several ERISA class actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an SEC inquiry, and some members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York County. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the SEC civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions, derivative actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are also named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

        Our senior corporate management team is required to devote significant attention to matters arising from actions of prior management.

        We have replaced our senior corporate executives with an entirely new team, and our entire Board of Directors determined not to stand for reelection in March 2003. A new Board of Directors was elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2003. It will take some time for our new management team and our new Board of Directors to learn about our various businesses and to develop strong working relationships with our cadre of operating managers at our various subsidiary companies. We cannot assure you that this major restructuring of our Board of Directors and senior

54



management team, and the accompanying distractions related to matters arising from the actions of prior management, in this environment, will not adversely affect our results of operations.

        Continued scrutiny resulting from ongoing investigations may have an adverse effect on our business.

        We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in our Fire and Security segment received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices regarding the ADT dealer connect fees. As disclosed in our restated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A on July 29, 2003, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. We are also subject to ongoing audits by the Internal Revenue Service and various state tax authorities. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure you that the effects and results of these or other investigations will not be material and adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

        Tyco and our subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. We believe, but we cannot assure you, that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

        An ongoing SEC inquiry may require us to further amend or restate our public disclosures.

        We are subject to an inquiry by the SEC's Division of Enforcement. We cannot assure you the resolution of the Division of Enforcement's inquiry will not necessitate further amendments or restatements to our previously-filed periodic reports or lead to some enforcement proceedings against Tyco. The SEC Division of Enforcement has not completed its review of prior management's actions and our accounting, including the matters covered by the Company's Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2002.

        Further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures could have an adverse effect on us.

        New management has determined that, in the past, Tyco in general suffered from: poor documentation; inadequate policies and procedures to prevent the misconduct of senior corporate executives; inadequate procedures for proper corporate authorizations; inadequate approval procedures and documentation; a lack of oversight by senior management at the corporate level; a pattern of using aggressive accounting that, even when in accordance with GAAP, was intended to increase reported earnings above what they would have been if more conservative accounting had been employed; pressure on, and inducements to, segment and unit managers to increase current earnings, including decisions as to what accounting treatment to employ; and a lack of a stated and demonstrable commitment by former senior corporate management to set high standards of ethics, integrity,

55



accounting, and corporate governance. While we have implemented new procedures, we cannot assure you that we will not discover that there have been further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures.

        Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.

        We estimate that our available cash and our cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our operations and service our debt for the forseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with our pending litigation or investigations. Any material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements arising from our pending investigations and litigation could require additional funding. If such developments require us to obtain additional funding, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the additional funding that we need on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.

        Such an outcome could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

        Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and minimum levels of net worth, and other covenants that limit our ability to pledge assets and to make substantial payments in connection with our capital shares. We have three synthetic lease facilities with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions.

        Although we believe none of these covenants are presently restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreements or indentures. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities or indentures, the lenders or trustees could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders or trustees accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our credit facilities and our other indebtedness. Acceleration of any obligation under any of our material debt instruments will permit the holders of our other material debt to accelerate their obligations.

56



        Downgrades of our ratings would adversely affect us.

        Certain downgrades by Moody's and S&P would permit the providers of our receivables facilities to cease further purchases under the facilities and would increase the interest cost of our credit facility borrowings. Downgrades may also increase our cost of capital and make it more difficult for us to obtain new financing.

Risks Relating to Our Businesses

        Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        Our operating results in some of our segments are affected adversely by the general cyclical pattern of the industries in which they operate. For example, demand for the products and services of our Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services segments is significantly affected by levels of commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending. Also, our Plastics and Adhesives segment and the electronic components business within our Electronics segment are heavily dependent on the end markets they serve and therefore can be affected by the demand and capital investment patterns of these markets which could impact the margins in these businesses. This cyclical impact can be amplified because some of our business segments purchase products from other business segments. For example, our Fire and Security segment purchases certain products sold by our Engineered Products and Services segment. Therefore, a drop in demand for our fire prevention products, due to lower new residential or office construction or other factors, can cause a drop in demand for certain of our products sold by our Engineered Products and Services segment.

        Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities, litigation and violations.

        We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things: the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of substances into the environment; and the health and safety of our employees. There can be no assurances that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with environmental and health and safety laws. If we violate these laws, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. For example, on April 29, 2004, in the U.S District Court for the District of Connecticut, one of our subsidiaries in our Electronics segment pled guilty to felony violations of the Clean Water Act at three of its manufacturing plants in Connecticut. See "Part II—Other Information—Item 1. Legal Proceedings—Environmental Litigation."

        Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances and costs to restore natural resources. In addition to cleanup costs resulting from environmental laws, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances used, stored or disposed of by us or contained in our products.

        We have been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, certain foreign and state environmental agencies, and some third parties that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous substances require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and/or for natural resource damages. We also have a number of projects underway at several of our current and former manufacturing facilities in order to comply with environmental laws or otherwise remediate environmental contamination. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including radioactive materials decontamination and decommissioning, solvent, metal and other hazardous substance contamination cleanup, and oil spill equipment upgrades and replacement. These projects, some of

57



which are voluntary and some of which are required under applicable law, involve both remediation expenses and capital improvements. In addition, we remain responsible for certain environmental issues at manufacturing locations previously sold by us.

        The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. We have concluded that it is probable that we will incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $150 million to $456 million. We concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $277 million, of which $50 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $227 million is included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2004. Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. While we have budgeted for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that our costs of complying with current or future environmental protection and health and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations or that we will not be subject to additional environmental claims for personal injury or cleanup in the future based on our past, present or future business activities.

        Pursuant to GAAP, we are required to periodically assess our goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets to determine if they are impaired. Further disruptions to our business, end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, divestitures and market capitalization declines may result in additional charges to goodwill and other asset impairments. Future impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the period of such charge. In addition, such charges would reduce our consolidated net worth and our shareholders' equity, increasing our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio. Such reduction in consolidated net worth and increase in debt as a percentage of total capitalization could result in a default under our credit facilities.

        We are subject to a variety of litigation in the course of our business that could cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

        In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to a significant amount of litigation, including litigation alleging the infringement of intellectual property rights, litigation alleging anti-competitive behavior and product liability litigation. In certain circumstances, patent infringement and anti-trust laws permit successful plaintiffs to recover treble damages. As described in "Part II—Other Information—Item 1. Legal Proceedings—Intellectual Property Litigation," the jury in a patent infringement case awarded $43.5 million in damages for the alleged infringement by one of our subsidiaries and the court may enhance those damages to up to treble the damages awarded to the plaintiff by the jury. In addition, our Healthcare business is subject to regulation and potential litigation. The defense of these lawsuits may divert our management's attention, and we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits. In addition, we may be required to pay awards or settlements that could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

        Our healthcare business is subject to extensive regulation by the government and failure to comply with those regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

        The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulates the approval, manufacturing and sale and marketing of many of our healthcare products. Failure to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices and other applicable regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to temporary

58



manufacturing shutdowns, product shortages or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety concerns, an increase in trends of adverse events in the marketplace, and/or manufacturing quality issues with respect to our products could lead to product recalls, withdrawals or declining sales.

        Our ADT business has experienced higher rates of customer attrition, which may reduce our future revenue and has caused us to change the useful life of accounts, increasing our depreciation and amortization expense.

        Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business were 15.9%, 13.2% and 12.3% on a trailing 12-month basis as of September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The attrition rate has decreased slightly to 15.8% on a trailing 12-month basis as of June 30, 2004. If attrition rates show an upward trend, ADT's recurring revenue and results of operations will be adversely affected. Tyco amortizes the costs of ADT's contracts and related customer relationships purchased through the ADT dealer program using a double-declining balance method based on a ten-year life for the first eight years of the estimated life of the customer relationships, converting to the straight-line method of amortization to completely amortize the asset pool by the end of the twelfth year. Internally generated residential and commercial account pools are amortized using a straight-line method over ten to fourteen years. If the attrition rates were to rise for these account pools, then Tyco may be required to accelerate the amortization of the costs related to these pools.

Risks Relating to Our Jurisdiction of Incorporation

        Legislation and negative publicity regarding Bermuda companies could increase our tax burden and affect our operating results.

Legislation Relating to Government Contracts

        We are currently assessing the potential impact of various U.S. federal and state legislative proposals that would deny government contracts to U.S. companies that move their corporate location abroad. The legislative proposals could cover the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, by ADT Limited (a public company that had been located in Bermuda since the 1980's with origins dating back to the United Kingdom since the early 1900's), as a result of which ADT changed its name to Tyco International Ltd. and became the parent to the Tyco group.

        In 2003, the State of California adopted legislation intended to limit the eligibility of certain Bermuda and other foreign-chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. Although the California legislation provides that waivers may be issued permitting such foreign-chartered companies to participate in state contracts under certain circumstances, it is unclear how that waiver authority will be exercised, and how the provision for such waivers will affect Tyco's business.

        In addition, various other states and municipalities in the U.S. have proposed similar legislation. We are unable to predict, with any level of certainty, the likelihood or final form in which any such proposed legislation might become law, or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any future legislative enactments or the impact such enactments and increased regulatory scrutiny may have on our business.

        Tyco's revenues related to direct sales to the U.S. federal government and the State of California accounted for less than 2% and 0.1%, respectively, of our total net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. We are unable to predict, however, whether the final form of the proposed legislation discussed above would also affect Tyco's indirect sales to the U.S. federal or state governments or the willingness of Tyco's non-governmental customers to do business with us. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to assess the potential impact on us of any proposed legislation in this area and can provide no assurance that the impact will not be materially adverse.

59


Tax Legislation

        There also is proposed tax legislation in the United States, which, if enacted, could substantially increase our corporate income taxes and, consequently, decrease future net income and increase our future cash outlay for taxes. The U.S. Congress is considering legislation relating to the tax treatment of U.S. companies that have undertaken certain types of expatriation transactions, which could be deemed to cover the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd. by ADT Limited described above. If such legislation becomes law, it could have the effect of substantially reducing the tax benefits of our corporate structure and materially increasing our tax burden or otherwise adversely affecting our business. In addition, even if no tax legislation is ultimately enacted that specifically covers our 1997 combination, the enactment of other tax proposals that have been or may be made in the future to address expatriation transactions could have a material impact on our future tax burden.

Negative Publicity

        There has recently been negative publicity regarding, and criticism of, U.S. companies' use of, or relocation to, offshore jurisdictions, including Bermuda. As a Bermuda company, this negative publicity could harm our reputation and impair our ability to generate new business if companies or government agencies decline to do business with us as a result of the negative public image of Bermuda companies or the possibility of our customers receiving negative media attention from doing business with a Bermuda company.

        Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

        Holders of Tyco securities may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States.

        As a Bermuda company, Tyco is governed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are generally owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies do not generally have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may only exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company in limited circumstances. Under Bermuda law, a company may also agree to indemnify directors and officers for any personal liability, not involving fraud or dishonesty, incurred in relation to the company.

Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things:

61



Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The Company's exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed materially from our exposure during the year ended September 30, 2003. In order to achieve an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt through the use of swaps, Tyco has swapped $3.0 billion notional amount of its fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. We are currently receiving a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.29% and paying a weighted-average variable rate of six-month LIBOR plus 1.43% under these swap arrangements.


Item 4—Controls and Procedures

        During fiscal 2002 we learned of instances of breakdowns of certain internal controls. As a result, our former Board of Directors retained outside counsel to conduct an investigation of Tyco's accounting and financial reporting. The findings of the investigation were reported in Current Reports on Form 8-K on September 17, 2002 and December 30, 2002. The restatement filed in July 2003 with the SEC includes adjustments to reverse the charges recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and reflect those charges in the historic periods to which they relate.

        Additionally, our new senior management team in conjunction with our new Board of Directors reviewed overall company policies and procedures in areas that were viewed as important. Specific areas of focus included acquisition accounting, restructuring, financial and legal controls, reserve utilization, incentive compensation and a number of other areas relevant to our financial statements. Senior management determined that Tyco's existing policies and standards of approval needed substantial improvement and found that there were instances in which documentation of important financial reporting matters was substandard; there had been limited review of bonuses and incentive compensation across Tyco; and the manner in which former senior management managed Tyco did not reflect a commitment to sound corporate governance nor the processes required to ensure the highest standards of financial integrity and accounting rigor to which the new senior management team and our Board of Directors is committed and our shareholders deserve.

        Senior management is committed to continuing to improve the state of our internal controls, corporate governance and financial reporting. In fiscal 2003, our new Board of Directors and senior management initiated the following actions:

62


63


        Furthermore, in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, management initiated the following actions:

        Although the framework has been put in place to materially improve the control structure of Tyco, it will take some time to realize all of the benefits from our initiatives. Our Board of Directors and senior management are committed not only to a sound internal control environment but also to be recognized as a leader in corporate governance. We have committed considerable resources to date on the reviews and remedies discussed above. A review of controls of a company the size of Tyco, which includes approximately 2,300 subsidiaries, is not a one-time event. We are committed to ongoing periodic reviews of our controls and their effectiveness, the results of which will be reported to our shareholders. We are undertaking a thorough review of our internal and disclosure controls including, but not limited to, information technology systems and financial reporting as part of Tyco's compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, but at this time we have not completed our review of the existing controls and their effectiveness.

        Our controls are continuing to improve and senior management has no reason to believe that the financial statements included in this report are not fairly stated in all material respects. There can be no assurances, however, that new problems will not be found in the future. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud because a control system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Tyco have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some person or by collusion of two or more people. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We expect to continue to improve our controls with each passing quarter. It will take some time, however, before we have in place the rigorous controls that our Board of Directors and senior management desire and our shareholders deserve.

        As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Tyco's disclosure controls and procedures by senior management. Based on that evaluation, Tyco's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that these procedures and controls are effective, given the cautions stated above. Other than as described above, this quarter, there have been no significant changes in Tyco's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. Tyco will continue to make ongoing assessments of these controls and procedures periodically.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1Legal Proceedings

Securities Class Actions

        As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Tyco and certain of our former directors and officers have been named as defendants in more than three dozen securities class actions.

        On June 3, 2004, an action was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Hess v. Tyco International Ltd., et. al. Plaintiff names as additional defendants PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, L. Dennis Koslowski, Mark H. Schwartz, Mark Belnick, Lord Michael A. Ashcroft, Joshua M. Berman, Richard S. Bodman, John F. Fort, Steven W. Foss, Wendy E. Lane, James S. Passman, W. Peter Slusser and Joseph F. Welch. Plaintiffs complaint asserts claims of fraud, negligent representation, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with fiduciary relationship and conspiracy arising out of an underlying settlement of litigation brought by shareholders in Progressive Angioplasty Systems, Inc. where the plaintiffs received Tyco stock as consideration. Tyco has not received service of the complaint.

        On June 21, 2004 the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted plaintiffs' motion in Brazen v. Tyco International Ltd., Hromyak v. Tyco International Ltd., Goldfarb v. Tyco International Ltd., Mandel v. Tyco International Ltd., Myers v. Tyco International Ltd., Rappold v. Tyco International Ltd., and Schuldt v. Tyco International Ltd., which were consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the district court, to remand their cases to the state courts in which they were originally filed. The Company has appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit the district court's decision to remand Brazen to the Cook County Circuit Court and Hromayk, Goldfarb, Mandel, Myers, Rappold and Schuldt to the Palm Beach Circuit Court.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation

        As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, five actions have been filed purporting to bring suit derivatively on behalf of Tyco against certain former officers and certain former directors of Tyco and against Tyco as a nominal defendant. One derivative action has been voluntarily dismissed.

        As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, plaintiffs filed a Motion for Leave to File their Verified Stockholders' Second Consolidated and Amended Derivative Complaint on June 12, 2003. The proposed second amended complaint drops as a defendant PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and adds as defendants each of the members of the current Board of Directors of Tyco. The second amended complaint alleges that the defendants who are current directors of Tyco engaged in, permitted and/or acquiesced in the following alleged improper conduct: making misstatements and omissions in order to disclose certain accounting issues slowly over time in order to artificially inflate Tyco's share price; making misstatements and omissions in the February 2003 proxy statement against reincorporation in Delaware and against a proposal to separate the positions of CEO and Chairman; and other allegedly improper conduct. Plaintiffs seek money damages and attorneys' fees and expenses.

        On December 29, 2003, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted plaintiffs' motion for leave to file their second consolidated and amended derivative complaint. Tyco's motion to dismiss the second consolidated and amended complaint remains pending before the district court.

ERISA Litigation and Investigation

        As previously reported in Tyco's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Tyco and certain of Tyco's current and former employees, officers and directors, have been named as defendants in eight class actions brought under ERISA. The complaints purported to bring claims on behalf of the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plans and the participants therein. Tyco's motion to

dismiss the consolidated ERISA complaint remains pending before the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

Intellectual Property Litigation

        Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), plaintiffs/counter-defendants v. Masimo Corporation ("Masimo") et al., defendants/counter-claimants, is a consolidated patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Nellcor alleges that Masimo infringed one Nellcor patent related to pulse oximeters, which are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen levels in patients, and Masimo alleges that Nellcor infringed four Masimo patents related to pulse oximeters. Trial in the action commenced on February 18, 2004. On March 16, 2004, the jury returned a liability finding that Nellcor willfully infringed the four Masimo patents and that Masimo did not infringe the one Nellcor patent. On March 26, 2004, the jury awarded Masimo $134.5 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement through December 31, 2003. After hearing post-trial motions, the district court issued an order on July 14, 2004 which (i) denied Masimo's request to impose an injunction on the sale of pulse oximeters; (ii) reversed the jury finding of patent infringement for one of the four patents at issue; (iii) ruled that a second patent was unenforceable due to Masimo's inequitable conduct in seeking the patent; and (iv) overturned the jury finding that the infringement was "willful." On August 6, 2004, the district court entered final judgment that included additional damages of $29.5 million for Nellcor's alleged infringement from January 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004. Nellcor plans to appeal the jury's infringement decision on the remaining two Masimo patents to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Tyco has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the jury's decision will be overturned and, further, Tyco intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in Tyco's consolidated financial statements with respect to this damage award.

        Masimo Corporation v. Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, Incorporated is a separate lawsuit also pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt are subsidiaries of Tyco. In this lawsuit, Masimo alleges violations of antitrust laws against Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt in the markets for pulse oximeter products. Masimo alleges that Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt have used their market position to prevent hospitals from purchasing Masimo's pulse oximetry products. Masimo seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages. Trial is scheduled to begin on September 7, 2004. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of the antitrust case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter. It is possible that Tyco will be required to pay an award of damages in the antitrust lawsuit.

        Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") v. United States Surgical ("U.S. Surgical") is a patent infringement action in which U.S. Surgical, a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant. In February 2002, the United States District Court for the Central District of California held that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The district court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is no longer on the market. In October 2003, the district court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other patents involved in the case were invalid. A trial on damages for the earlier infringement ruling in the district court concluded on July 27, 2004. The jury awarded Applied Medical $43.5 million in damages and returned a finding that the earlier infringement was willful. The district court has scheduled a hearing for September 20, 2004 to consider U.S. Surgical's motion to set aside the jury's finding on willfulness. If the willfulness finding is upheld, the district court has discretion to enhance those damages to up to treble the damages awarded to Applied Medical by the jury. The district court will

also consider during post trial proceedings what pre-judgment interest, if any, should be awarded. Tyco has an accrual related to this matter, and believes that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        On July 31, 2003, Applied Medical filed another patent infringement suit against U.S. Surgical in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal Plus trocar product infringes Applied Medical's U.S. Patent No. 5,385,533. Applied Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which the district court denied on December 23, 2003. Trial is currently scheduled to commence in March 2005. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this patent infringement case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter.

Environmental Litigation

        Tyco Printed Circuit Group, Limited Partnership ("TPCG"), a business in our Electronics segment, was advised in June 2001 by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut that it was the target of a federal criminal investigation concerning alleged Clean Water Act violations at three manufacturing plants, one of which has since been closed for economic reasons unrelated to this investigation. Three former employees at one of these plants previously pled guilty to felony violations of the Clean Water Act. In 2003, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut identified a then current employee at one of these plants as a target of this investigation.

        As soon as TPCG learned of the government's investigation, TPCG took prompt corrective actions, and began to cooperate with the authorities. On April 29, 2004, TPCG pled guilty in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut to violations of the Clean Water Act at these three plants in Connecticut. The violations charged occurred between 1999 and 2001. At present, TPCG is scheduled to be sentenced in the federal case on August 17, 2004. Pursuant to the plea agreement, TPCG has already paid a mandatory special assessment of $4,800, and will: (a) pay a $6 million fine; (b) pay an additional $4 million to fund environmental projects designed to improve the environment for Connecticut residents; (c) implement an Environmental Compliance Plan at all TPCG printed circuit board manufacturing locations in the United States to formalize existing environmental compliance programs; and (d) engage an independent third party to conduct an environmental audit of two TPCG manufacturing facilities in Connecticut. The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut has stated in a publicly filed court submission that there was no concrete evidence of environmental harm as a result of these violations, and that no one above the position of environmental health and safety manager at TPCG at these three Connecticut facilities knew of, or was involved in, these violations.

        TPCG is also cooperating with the Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection and the Connecticut Attorney General's Office with respect to a civil suit against TPCG in Hartford Superior Court. In this civil action, the State alleges violations of Connecticut environmental statutes and regulations arising out of the conduct investigated by the federal authorities at these same three facilities.

        We have learned that on certain dates in 2002 and 2003, a business within our Engineered Products and Services segment reported purportedly incorrect data relating to landfill gas monitoring at four landfill sites in Ohio. Our business is the contractor providing landfill gas monitoring and operations services at those sites. The reporting of this purportedly incorrect data may form the bases for potential violations of the Clean Air Act and related state laws and regulations. To our knowledge, no action or proceeding has been filed by any state or federal authority in this matter to date. We have disclosed this matter to our clients involved and to the City of Toledo, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

        The District Attorney of Monterey County, California has recently indicated an intent to pursue a civil enforcement action for monetary penalties and injunctive relief against our Earth Tech subsidiary for failure to file a hazardous materials response plan as required by the California Health and Safety Code, as well as a claim of unfair trade practices for the alleged failure to file the response plan. This action followed a July 8, 2003 fire that accidentally ignited inside an oil storage tank that Earth Tech was demolishing at a power plant in Moss Landing, California. No injuries resulted from the fire and Earth Tech has cooperated in the Monterey County District Attorney's investigation. Settlement discussions to date indicate civil penalties and monetary restitution may total $900,000. Additionally, Earth Tech would commit to spend a minimum of $300,000 on employee education, training and compliance related to safety, health and environmental requirements and procedures.

Commercial Litigation

        Sensormatic v. Winner and Bagnara, Inc. is a franchise dispute for which Sensormatic originally filed a complaint in 1999 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania seeking declaratory relief. On June 28, 2004, the district court entered a stipulated judgment fixing the amount of the defendant's past damages and commissions for royalties allegedly owed under the franchise agreement in the amount of $28,000,000, plus $4,760,000 in pre-judgment interest, and the entry of an injunction requiring Sensormatic to tender the franchise to the defendant. The judgment stays the imposition and payment of these damages and injunctive relief until resolution of an appeal of the district court's underlying rulings on liability to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In the event the district court's rulings are affirmed, Sensormatic will be required to pay the amount of stipulated damages and tender the franchise. On June 29, 2004, Sensormatic filed its Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Tyco intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve a reversal. The Company does not expect to incur material losses beyond what has already been accrued.
