Fueling growth...

Teledyne technology helps keep your tank full.

Our modern world depends on readily available energy. Today, many of the world’s oil reserves are in deep ocean waters 

where the consequences of failure of technology can be catastrophic. Teledyne is meeting the challenge of providing 

interconnect and sensor products that will operate reliably in the harsh environment two kilometers beneath the ocean’s 

surface. We combine longstanding deepwater experience and unique materials science research capabilities to develop 

products designed to work reliably for 25 or more years. 

Teledyne marine geophysical exploration equipment lets geophysicists “see” below the ocean fl oor to fi nd new oil and gas 

reserves. We are working closely with a key customer on an all fi ber optic permanent reservoir monitoring system to be 

installed during 2012.

“Failure is not an option in deep water.
We apply basic science and advanced
engineering to make products with 
unprecedented reliability”

Enabling alerts and coping with crisis…

From wave warning systems to water quality monitors, Teledyne 
technology delivers vital information that enables action.

When the earthquakes and tsunamis struck Japan in March 2011 the country’s DONET (Dense Ocean Network for 

Earthquake and Tsunamis) warning system transmitted alerts through Teledyne underwater acoustic modems and subsea 

broadband connectors to give the people in affected areas precious time to act on their emergency plans. Even so, the 

destruction and loss of life was truly tragic.

In the days and weeks that followed, multi-national teams of scientists used Teledyne acoustic Doppler current profi lers 

to measure ocean currents to understand better the spread of any nuclear contaminants from the damaged Fukushima 

reactors. Across the country, concern over air, water, and food safety highlighted the value of Teledyne environmental 

monitoring equipment.

We can’t prevent natural disasters, but we can provide tools to understand better what causes them and how they work. 

Scientists deploy our instruments from the Arctic to Antarctic to build better models for weather prediction, hurricane 

forecasts and long-term climate change.

“Teledyne instruments monitor
the environmental impact of fl ood
waters and continuously acquire data 
from the world’s oceans”

Pushing back the boundaries...

If space is the fi nal frontier, Teledyne is proud to help push back 
that boundary.

Teledyne has engineered critical components and systems for major NASA missions since the 1960s and has earned 

numerous supplier awards. The Pioneer and Voyager probes that traveled past the edge of the solar system and the 

Huygens probe to Saturn’s moon Titan all carried Teledyne components. 

NASA’s historic Space Shuttle Program came to a close in 2011. We participated in 67 shuttle missions, designing and 

building over 1,000 products, ranging from small components to highly complex systems.  We also integrated several 

hundred experiments and trained over 250 astronauts for real-time mission operations.

We provide imaging sensors and spectrometers for many missions including the Mars rovers and the WISE all-sky survey, 

and for leading ground-based observatories. In 2011, scientists identifi ed the most distant galaxy yet seen in the universe, 

13.2 billion light years away, using the Teledyne infrared imager on the Hubble Space Telescope.

“Building on our heritage in space 
we have expanded our manufacturing 
into new frontiers that require high 
reliability, including deepwater 
and nuclear energy products”

Letter to Stockholders

2011 was a decisive year in the history of Teledyne, both fi nancially and 

strategically. We achieved record earnings, divested our non-core general 

aviation piston engine business and made our largest acquisition to date 

to expand our digital imaging capabilities. Teledyne is a different company 

today. Following a decade of progressive change through acquisitions and 

divestitures, and continuous improvement in operations, we enter 2012 

as a company that primarily serves industrial growth markets. 

Highlights
• Full year sales of $1.94 billion increased 18.1%

• Earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.81 increased 17.2%

• GAAP operating margin was 11.7%, an increase of 84 basis points

All of these metrics were at record levels
Beyond the fi nancial performance, the divestiture of our general aviation 

piston engine business in April 2011, along with its liabilities, signifi cantly 

reduced Teledyne’s risk profi le, while the acquisition of DALSA was a  

major commitment to digital imaging.

U.S. Government sales account for only 36% of total revenue, down from 47% just two years ago. The profi le of our 

government businesses has also changed, with an increase in proprietary products over engineering services.  

Today, given the greater profi tability of our commercial businesses, the U.S. government accounts for less than 25% 

of income.

We now possess higher technology businesses, a greater research and development capability, and a portfolio 

of proprietary highly engineered products serving markets such as offshore energy, global infrastructure, factory 

automation, transportation and communications. Our international sales have grown signifi cantly and represent 36% 

of our revenue.

As our markets have expanded so has the span of technologies that we use to serve our customers. We develop 

products that work throughout the electromagnetic spectrum from radio frequencies through microwave, infrared, visible, 

ultraviolet and X-Rays. The wavelengths of signals used in our products range from over one kilometer to less than one 

nanometer (one billionth of a meter). In the acoustic domain, we make products that operate from well below the range 

of human hearing and ones that employ high frequency ultrasonic signals.

Today, whether across markets, geography or throughout the electromagnetic and acoustic spectra, Teledyne is

EverywhereYouLook.

Greater Breadth and Depth in Digital Imaging
Teledyne entered the digital imaging market with the acquisition of Rockwell Scientifi c Company, LLC in 2006. We were 

then, and still remain, the leader in very high performance sensors for land and space-based infrared astronomy.  Today, 

both our technical depth and the breadth of our product lines have increased dramatically.  We now offer a suite of 

sensors, cameras and software, spanning the electromagnetic spectrum from X-Rays through infrared.

Building on our heritage, NASA astronomers used Teledyne’s infrared sensor on the Hubble Space Telescope to discover 

the most distant object yet seen in the universe.  Its light travelled 13.2 billion years to reach the Earth and its image is 

teaching scientists how galaxies formed in the fi rst 500 hundred million years after the Big Bang. In order to maintain 

our leadership in high performance infrared imaging we have several company and customer funded projects underway 

aimed at developing the next generations of infrared sensors. These include projects involving novel compound 

semiconductor materials and structures that have the potential to provide both higher performance and lower cost than 

current technologies.

DALSA Corporation, based in Canada, joined the Teledyne family in February 2011, adding a broad range of digital imaging 

cameras, electronics and software used in industrial automation, food and packaging inspection, aerial photogrammetry, 

postal and parcel inspection, and medical and dental imaging. Our high speed line-scan cameras are the primary 

components used to inspect fl at panel displays for televisions and for the most popular tablet computers. Teledyne DALSA 

image sensors with hundreds of megapixels are used in very high resolution remote sensing applications including 

Google Earth and Microsoft Bing.

We have launched a new line of fl at panel detectors for medical X-Ray systems. Targeted 

at the dynamic (live) imaging market where individuals may be exposed to X-Rays for 

extended periods, our detectors provide higher resolution images with lower X-Ray 

doses than competing products. Customer acceptance has been very strong and we 

are expanding production capacity in both Canada and the Netherlands to accommodate 

expected growth.

We are also developing uncooled infrared sensor capabilities that will take advantage 

of the high volume production and wafer-scale packaging at Teledyne DALSA 

Semiconductor, which is a commercial business that has been successfully making 

MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) for applications ranging from high volume 

consumer and automotive to high performance biomedical and optical telecommunications 

Our CMOS X-Ray panels 
deliver benefi ts for both 
patients and practitioners

over the past decade.

During 2011 we made our fi rst foray into the fi eld of three-dimensional imaging with the purchase of a minority stake 

in Optech Incorporated, a Canadian company that is a leader in the market for LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) 

systems. Optech is best known for applying its LIDARs for airborne surveys. One version for coastal surveys is able 

to provide 3D maps of both the coastline and the water depth near the shore to complement hydrographic survey 

sonars, such as products from Teledyne Marine that are used farther from the shoreline.

Leadership in Unmanned Systems
Although defense electronics represents a smaller percentage of our 

revenue than in the past, we remain committed to developing technology 

for unmanned systems, which have a high priority worldwide for both 

military and commercial markets.

Since Teledyne’s inception we have been leaders in defense microwave 

products for radar, electronic warfare and communication systems. Today, 

we maintain that leadership in a multitude of military platforms including 

unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) where we supply a variety of solid state 

microwave amplifi ers for systems that deliver real-time data to battlefi eld 

commanders.

One of the drivers for higher data rates from UAVs is the expansion in high quality digital imagery to the war fi ghter. 

We have a growing role in providing this imagery, with new products such as the infrared sensor for the new ACES HY 

hyperspectral imager for the Predator UAV. We also have a growing line of complete camera systems, including our 59 

megapixel visible-light video camera and new mid-wave infrared video cameras for small UAVs. Our expansion in this 

area was accelerated by acquiring a majority interest in Nova Sensors, a company with novel infrared camera electronics 

technology. 

While unmanned systems have been used in airborne applications for decades, the subsea market is now emerging. 

We have a signifi cant and growing role in unmanned underwater vehicles, with products ranging from sensors and 

interconnects to complete vehicle systems.

We are a leading supplier of autonomous subsea gliders that can be deployed on 

missions that last weeks or months at a time and are used to sense oceanographic 

parameters such as conductivity, temperature, depth and water clarity. After 

extensive sea trials, the U.S. Navy approved our Littoral Battlespace Sensing Glider 

for full rate production. The Navy plans to use the fl eet of deep and shallow water 

gliders with their relative low cost, minimal power usage, and longevity at sea to 

acquire critical oceanographic data to improve positioning of fl eets during naval 

maneuvers. During 2011, the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories 

Initiative selected our Slocum gliders for both the coastal and offshore elements of 

a program that will provide over 25 years of sustained ocean measurements to study 

Scientists worldwide use our Slocum 
gliders to measure ocean parameters 

climate variability, ocean circulation and ecosystem dynamics. 

Evolution of Engineered Systems from Services to Innovative Products
Our Engineered Systems segment is increasingly involved with the subsea market. We are the system integrator and 

prime contractor for the Littoral Battlespace Sensing Glider program. We were also awarded an eight year $383 million 

contract from the United States Special Operations Command to design, manufacture, and sustain the Shallow Water 

Combat Submersible, a replacement for the current SEAL Delivery Vehicle.  The system will be designed to deliver 

SEALs to and from their missions, safely and undetected.

In August, we won the Missile Defense Agency’s Objective Simulation Framework contract.  This fi ve-year contract 

has a potential value of $595 million and could be extended for as long as seven years.  The scope of work includes 

development of the test framework for the nation’s missile defense system and will have the capability to perform tests 

ranging from high fi delity simulations to live fi re testing.

deep space for its technical challenges. The Macondo well disaster in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in a short-term 

slowdown in business for us, but focused even greater attention on quality and reliability, areas where we have 

signifi cant competitive advantages. We believe that our share of this demanding market is growing because we have 

applied the extensive materials science research capabilities at Teledyne Scientifi c Company to conduct accelerated 

life testing on materials for subsea connectors, cables and sensors. We use the data to support our customers’ 

requirements for products that will operate reliably in deep water for over 25 years.

We expect deepwater production to grow in response to the worldwide demand for energy. We are well-positioned 

for expected expansion offshore Brazil, Africa and Asia, as well as for renewed development in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Given the increasingly high cost associated with developing deepwater resources, energy companies are highly 

motivated to ensure that production is optimized. Permanent monitoring of subsea hydrocarbon reservoirs is one of 

the emerging ways to address this, and we are working closely with a key customer to bring a system to production 

in 2012.

Enabling Technology for a Safer Environment
Our technologies are used to study long-term climate change, day-to-day 

air and water quality conditions and for real-time warning of environmental 

disasters. Our acoustic modems and wet-mate interconnect products are 

vital components in evolving tsunami warning systems around the globe. 

The importance of these systems was brought into stark relief in 2011 

by the devastating earthquake in Japan.

The availability of potable water is a global concern, both in developing 

nations where water contamination is signifi cant, and in developed nations 

where aging waste water systems threaten sources of drinking water. 

This drives the need for our environmental water samplers and fl owmeters.

the quality and safety of water, food, and 
consumer products around the world

We are also conducting fundamental research on desalination and ultrafi ltration technologies. Population growth and 

increased industrialization also impact air quality, resulting in demand for our air quality monitoring instruments such as 

our new T Series trace-level gas analyzers that feature touch-screen displays. 

Expanding Product Development and Leveraging Research for Growth
During 2011, we increased internally funded research and development spending to drive organic growth. Company-

funded R&D investments of approximately $100 million were augmented by over $100 million of relevant externally 

funded R&D that is used both to design products customized for customers’ unique requirements and at our corporate 

research center to develop new technologies and skills that we apply across our Teledyne businesses. 

Positioned for Continued Success
After a decade of acquisitions and divestitures, we now have a unique and unrivaled mix of high technology industrial 

businesses that are growing in international markets. We also have a much lower risk profi le, improved operations, new 

technologies and products, a strong balance sheet, and a dedicated team of people, including our distinguished Board of 

Directors, who are working together to ensure that Teledyne is EverywhereYouLook.

Forward-Looking Statements Cautionary Notice

From time to time the Company makes, and this Annual Report, may contain, forward-looking statements, as defi ned in the 
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, directly and indirectly relating to earnings, growth opportunities, product 
sales, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, taxes and strategic plans. All statements 
made in this Annual Report that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking. Actual results could differ 
materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors could change the anticipated results: including disruptions 
in the global economy; changes in the insurance and credit markets; changes in demand for products sold to the defense 
electronics, instrumentation, digital imaging, energy exploration and production, commercial aviation, semiconductor and 
communications markets; funding, continuation and award of government programs; continued liquidity of our suppliers 
and customers (including commercial and aviation customers); availability of credit to our suppliers and customers; cuts 
to defense spending resulting from future defi cit reduction measures; and risks associated with the integration of DALSA 
Corporation. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. Lower oil 
and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, could negatively affect our 
businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. In addition, fi nancial market fl uctuations affect the value of our pension 
assets.

Global responses to terrorism and other perceived threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking 
statements about our businesses. Various responses to terrorism and perceived threats could realign government 
programs, and affect the composition, funding or timing of our programs. Changes in the policies of U.S. and foreign 
governments could result, over time, in reductions and realignment in defense or other government spending and further 
changes in programs in which the Company participates, including anticipated reductions in the Company’s missile defense 
engineering services and NASA programs.

While Teledyne’s growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on 
what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to 
integrate acquired businesses, retain customers and achieve identifi ed fi nancial and operating synergies. There are additional 
risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses outside of the United States, including those arising from 
U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fl uctuations.

The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we believe our control systems are effective, there are inherent 
limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne Technologies’ periodic fi lings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including its 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied
by words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “believes” or “expect”, that convey the uncertainty of future events or
outcomes. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information or otherwise.
