TE Connectivity Ltd. said it expects to post an uptick in sales and solid growth in earnings for its current quarter as the company navigates global supply-chain challenges amid strong demand for its equipment.

The Swiss company, which makes connectivity and sensor equipment, on Wednesday forecasted second-quarter sales of about $3.8 billion, up 2% on a reported basis from a year earlier.

TE Connectivity said it expects adjusted earnings for the quarter to come in around $1.70 a share, up 8% from the comparable quarter a year earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the company said it expects earnings of $1.52 a share.

"We expect to deliver year-over-year sales and earnings growth in the second quarter as we continue to capitalize on a strong demand environment and our team's ability to continue to execute well despite ongoing volatility in global supply chains," TE Connectivity Chief Executive Terrence Curtin said Wednesday.
