credit / rates affecting interest expense
“The modest increase in operating margin for the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily driven by strong operating performance on the higher sales volumes, partially offset by the negative impact on operating margin related to acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months that are currently operating below the average operating margin of the Company. Interest expense was $217.0 in 2024 compared to $139.5 in 2023.”
