We have focused primarily on two of our core markets, defense electronics and instrumentation, both of which require specialized technology and have high barriers to entry. Teledyne is now a much stronger competitor in each of those markets, with a much greater breadth and depth of products, and the ability to provide integrated solutions to our customers. As a result of this focused strategy and our continuous emphasis on operational excellence, our sales have grown by about 85% from $773 million in 2002 to over $1.43 billion in 2006, or at a compound annual growth rate of 16.7%. Over the same timeframe, our earnings per share have improved from $0.77 to $2.26, or at a compound annual growth rate of over 30.9%. Our operating margin has increased 318 basis points since 2002 due to a combination of improved Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Annual Report Page 3 operational performance and the acquisition of complementary higher- margin product lines in our core markets. In 2006, we continued our strong financial performance and made fi ve acquisitions, including our largest and most strategic to date, the Cumulative Total Stockholder Return The graph set forth below shows the cumulative total stockholder return (i.e., price change plus reinvestment of dividends) on our common stock from our fiscal year end December 30, 2001 through our fiscal year end December 31, 2006, as compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the Dow Jones World Aerospace & Defense Index.

Th is acquisition provides Teledyne a greatly expanded base of technology and highly-skilled scientists and engineers, enabling us to accelerate the pace of product development in our current markets and giving us the resources to become a signifi cant competitor in adjacent markets. Gaining Scale Our strategy for making Teledyne Technologies a stronger, more competitive corporation has evolved progressively. Early on, we focused on manufacturing, updating our factories and 12/30/01 12/29/02 12/28/03 01/02/05 01/01/06 12/31/06 training our workforce in lean 12/30/01 12/29/02 12/28/03 01/02/05 01/01/06 12/31/06 Teledyne Technologies 100 91 117 177 175 242 Dow Jones World Aerospace & Defense Russell 2000 S&P 500 Composite 100 100 100 87 79 77 112 115 98 136 137 110 165 143 115 204 170 134 manufacturing techniques that both reduce defects and improve manufacturing cycle times. By continually reducing the cost of rework, scrap and warranty expense, we have not only improved our operating margins, but have also enhanced our reputation as a high-quality supplier with the fl exibility to respond quickly to the changing needs of our customers. Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Annual Report Page 4 Eyes Wide Open Teledyne’s high performance infrared and visible light imaging sensors have been selected for the most demanding appli- cations including the new James Webb Space Telescope, and very high resolution military surveillance applications. Illustration courtesy of Northrop Grumman Corporation Monitoring the Environment Teledyne RD Instruments provides highly sensitive ocean and inland waterway current measurement devices. Th ese instruments are used for a number of applications, including monitoring the health of river deltas and assisting in tsunami detection. Th e next step in our strategy was to build a stronger position in our core markets by acquiring attractive businesses with products that were complementary to our existing lines. Since our fi rst acquisition of an environmental instrumentation business in 2001, we have acquired 14 additional defense electronics and instrumentation businesses. Our defense electronics revenues have grown from approximately $110 million in 2001, to a run-rate of approximately $400 million at year-end 2006. We have acquired seven defense electronics companies, bringing us an ever-broader range of specialized products. Such products include traveling wave tubes, solid-state microwave components and subsystems, very high-speed mixed signal semiconductors, electromechanical and solid-state relays, high voltage connectors and cables, and infrared and visible light focal plane arrays. With the new capabilities gained through our acquisitions, fi ve of which had expertise in specialized defense microwave technologies, we are now one of a very limited number of companies that are able to develop highly integrated microwave assemblies that combine multiple functions into a single unit. During 2006, we delivered prototypes of several new integrated assemblies, including a broadband data link for an unmanned aerial vehicle and frequency converters for four new customers for military satellite communications systems. Noting that Teledyne is a key supplier to the Air Force for aircraft such as the F-15, F-16, B-52 and C-130, the Air Force Materials Command awarded a Teledyne company a ten year contract worth up to $370 million for parts and assemblies. Teledyne is also a signifi cant supplier to many defense industry prime contractors. During 2006, one of our fi rst tier customers reduced its supplier base for outsourced manufacturing and chose all three relevant Teledyne business units as approved suppliers. Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Annual Report Page 7 Our instrumentation revenues have also grown signifi cantly, from $45 million in 2001 to approximately $350 million in 2006. Starting with a base in industrial gas analysis, we acquired fi ve companies that added closely-related products, fi rst in environmental gas analysis, then in laboratory organic and inorganic pollution analysis, and subsequently in instrumentation for wastewater collection and fl ow measurement. In 2005, we embarked on a signifi cant expansion in the marine instrumentation market with the acquisition of RD Instruments, Inc., a company which applies acoustic Doppler technology to the measurement of the speed of ocean and river currents and the speed of surface and underwater vehicles. Th is product line was very complementary to Teledyne’s existing geophysical instrumentation business, which manufactures arrays of acoustic sensors, or hydrophones, used in off shore oil and gas exploration. Next, in January of 2006, we acquired Benthos, Inc., a manufacturer of hydrophones, underwater acoustic communication equipment, sonar systems and remotely operated vehicles. In August of 2006, we acquired a majority interest in Ocean Design, Inc. (ODI), a leading manufacturer of subsea interconnect systems. ODI’s largest market is off shore oil and gas production where its unique wet- mateable electrical and fi ber-optic connectors and cables are installed at wellheads on the ocean bottom by remotely operated vehicles. During 2006, all of our marine instrumentation businesses experienced strong demand for products for off shore oil and gas exploration and production. New orders at Ocean Design continued at a record pace subsequent to the acquisition, resulting in signifi cant growth in year-end backlog. Th e growth in off shore production also enhanced sales of our Acoustic Doppler Current Profi lers, which the Department of Interior mandates for safety on mobile off shore drilling units operating in the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Annual Report Page 8 Discovering Resources During off shore oil and gas exploration, hydrophones from Teledyne Benthos and streamer cables from Teledyne Geophysical Instruments help fi nd new energy reserves. ODI connectors deliver electrical power to subsea oil production systems, as well as transmit sensor data from the well to the rig. Return to Space Teledyne Brown Engineering captured NASA’s highest honor for excellence and quality in 2006 - Th e George M. Low Award. Presented by NASA annually, the Low Award is bestowed upon a contrac- tor that has demonstrated excellence and outstanding technical and managerial achievements in quality and performance. Illustration courtesy of NASA Gulf of Mexico. To accommodate the strong demand for our fl uid-free hydrophone streamer arrays, we increased manufacturing capacity at our operations in Houston, Texas and Gloucester, England and added a repair facility in Singapore to support the Asian market. Today, the combined revenue run-rate of our marine instrumentation businesses represents over 40% of our overall instrumentation sales. All four business units serve three of the primary segments of the undersea market: petroleum exploration, oceanography and defense. Th is provides both strong brand recognition for Teledyne Marine Instruments businesses and the opportunity for joint product development. Greater Technical Strength and a New Base in Imaging Th e next step in the evolution of Teledyne’s capabilities is exemplifi ed by the acquisition in September of Rockwell Scientifi c Company LLC, now known as Teledyne Scientifi c & Imaging, LLC. For over four decades Rockwell Scientifi c Company was a premiere research and development organization, serving the critical future technology needs of the Department of Defense, NASA, and several major companies. It also has a long track record of transitioning cutting-edge technology into successful products and businesses. Teledyne Scientifi c & Imaging has a collection of innovative technology and intellectual property. Th ese technologies are a valuable source for building new, high-margin products and enhancing the performance of existing Teledyne products. A few examples of many technologies that are closely related to Teledyne’s core businesses include millimeter-wave semiconductors and very high-speed signal processing devices that are expected to enhance our integrated microwave products, advanced materials with applications such as marine instrumentation and turbine engines, optical devices for Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Annual Report Page 11 military fi ber optic communication systems and software algorithms for autonomous vehicle systems. Th e acquisition of Rockwell Scientifi c Company also provides us an important foothold in high performance infrared and visible imaging for astronomy, space surveillance and battlefi eld applications. Th e imaging sensors business has already made a successful transition from research to production, and like other Teledyne defense electronics business units, provides highly-engineered components and subsystems. We believe that Teledyne Imaging Sensors, with a state-of- the-art manufacturing facility, will benefi t from Teledyne’s corporate- wide focus on operational excellence as well as our extensive channels to defense industry prime contractors. Th e infrared and visible light sensors complement our existing analog, digital, microwave and optoelectronic products, allowing us to be the supplier of choice for very diversifi ed products to our key customers. Looking Ahead Our strong fi nancial performance since 2002 is a credit to the performance and quality of our products and the hard work of our skilled employees. I believe that Teledyne Technologies will continue to grow and prosper by building on our strategy of focusing on technologically-demanding regulated niche markets, working relentlessly to reduce cost and cycle time in our operations and achieving critical mass in our core markets via complementary acquisitions. While we have become a superior player in our niche markets, we are now more aggressively seeking ways to expand the size of our addressable markets, but without reaching beyond our core competencies or losing management focus.

Innovations like our PowerLinkTM electronic engine control and maintenance system continue to advance engine technology for modern general aviation aircraft, such as the twin turbocharged Adam A500. As we continue to grow and to expand into adjacent markets, the perceptive advice and counsel provided by the broad spectrum of industry leaders who constitute our board of directors will be ever more valuable. Our board, which has been a critical factor in Teledyne’s success to date, was further strengthened in 2006 by the addition of Kenneth C. Dahlberg, chairman and CEO of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Wesley W. von Schack, chairman, president and CEO of Energy East Corporation, and Roxanne S. Austin, former president and chief operating offi cer of DIRECTV, who bring to us extensive experience in markets that are important to the future of Teledyne.
