Teledyne Powers NASA’s Curiosity Rover

On August 6, 2012, Teledyne joined science lovers everywhere in congratulating NASA and JPL on the successful 

deployment of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) “Curiosity” rover in Gale crater on Mars. Curiosity is the largest rover 

launched by NASA to date, and its mission to determine whether Mars is, or ever has been, hospitable to microbial life 

has already delivered remarkable results.

Teledyne had many reasons to applaud, not least of which were the vital contributions Teledyne companies made to the 

launch, landing, and operation of the mission. Teledyne developed the radioisotope thermoelectric generator system that 

provides nuclear power to the rover. We also supplied two complex radio frequency modules which were part of the 

terminal descent and landing unit. Our electromechanical relays and electromechanical transfer switches are used on 

the rover and the Atlas V launch vehicle, respectively. Finally, Teledyne manufactured the image sensors for Curiosity’s 

navigation and hazard avoidance cameras.

Teledyne is proud to be able to contribute to a project that poses such technical challenges and holds such promise 

for the advancement of science and knowledge. Teledyne is also pleased to have contributed in so many ways. From 

the deepest parts of our planet’s oceans to the surface of Mars and beyond the edges of our solar system, Teledyne’s

Digital Imaging from Infrared to X-ray

The growth in the Digital Imaging segment is a great example of the transformation of Teledyne’s business portfolio 

towards commercial and international markets. Primarily through targeted acquisitions, the Digital Imaging segment has 

increased to 20% of Teledyne’s total revenue, from 8% just two years ago.

Teledyne’s exceptional imaging solutions extend across the electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to X-ray. Our 
cooled infrared image sensors define the state of the art for astronomy, which is why you’ll find them in the Mauna Kea 
observatories and the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. Our connection to space continues with the new MUSES 

multi-instrument commercial earth imaging platform we’re building to install on the International Space Station (ISS). 

The demand for infrared is also growing in commercial markets, where we are leveraging our MEMS 

(microelectromechanical systems) fabrication capabilities to deliver uncooled microbolometer detectors to complement 

the world-leading high-speed, high resolution visible spectrum imaging components we already provide for machine 

vision and factory automation. Even farther up the frequency spectrum, our CMOS (complementary metal oxide 

semiconductor) digital X-ray detectors, which provide better performance at lower radiation doses than any competitor, 

have been extremely well received in medical and dental radiography applications.

Going forward, we see exciting opportunities to network multiple types of sensors and combine their data—infrared, 

visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, and LIDAR (light detection and ranging) sensing on the ground and in the air, plus acoustic 

sensing underwater—to offer advanced and integrated multispectral solutions. Across the spectrum, from sea to surface 

to sky, Teledyne offers unprecedented imaging capabilities—not only everywhere you look, but every way you look.

Teledyne offers a range of infrared imagers, 
both cooled and uncooled, to cover short 
wave, medium wave, and long wave IR 
imaging.

Teledyne and NASA entered an agreement 
to develop the Multi-User System for Earth 
Sensing (MUSES) Earth imaging platform for 
the International Space Station.

Teledyne’s world-leading CMOS X-ray 
detectors provide better images at a 
lower dose for medical, dental, and 
industrial imaging applications.

Supplying Mission Critical Systems to the Oil & Gas Industry

Increasing global demand for oil and gas, driven primarily by developing nations such as China and India, is fueling 

significant investments by oil companies in the discovery and development of subsea hydrocarbon reserves. Emerging 

exploration technologies are moving the industry into deeper water where discoveries of complex reservoirs are in turn 

requiring the development of new production technologies and enhanced oil recovery techniques.  The deeper production 

fields require subsea boosting and pumping technologies that use Teledyne Oil & Gas next generation high power 

interconnect systems. Funded by the oil companies themselves, these systems are jointly developed with customers 

and leverage the leading edge materials science research done at our Teledyne Scientific R&D laboratories to identify 

new materials and certify performance—including operating life greater than 25 years. 

Our emphasis on delivering long-term reliability is clear in the development of new subsea natural gas fields, such as 

in southeast Asia. The highly caustic, pipeline-corroding substances (e.g. hydrogen sulfide) that these fields contain 

make our high resolution pipeline monitoring sensors and systems very valuable to production companies. Our R&D 

capabilities will be further enhanced by a 50,000 square foot Technology Development Center opening in mid-2013 at the 

Teledyne Oil & Gas world headquarters in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Through our global locations and recent expansions in Brazil and Asia, Teledyne Oil & Gas delivers innovative engineered 

solutions to solve sensing and high power, high bandwidth interconnection challenges both above and below the surface. 

Our new 50,000 square foot research 
center in Daytona Beach, Florida will house 
laboratory, product design, product testing

Letter to Stockholders

In 2012, we accelerated Teledyne’s ongoing transformation into a higher 

technology company serving industrial growth markets, such as offshore 

energy, high-end digital imaging and analytical and electronic test and 

measurement instrumentation.  Given the strength of our commercial 

businesses, as well as strategic acquisitions, we were able to achieve 

record sales and earnings in 2012.

Record Performance

• Sales of $2.13 billion increased 9.5%

• Earnings per share from continuing operations $4.33 increased 13.6%

Today, Teledyne has the greatest proportion of international and 

commercial sales in our history. International sales in 2012 were 39% of 

total revenue and exceeded U.S. commercial sales by ten percentage 

points.  Despite the challenging regional economic environment, our sales 

to Europe increased given strong growth of marine instrumentation. We 

also continued to experience growth in Asia, largely driven by increased

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 

sales of instrumentation and avionics systems. Finally, the U.S. Government accounted for only 32% of total sales, a 

decrease from 47% just three years ago.

Continued Focus on expanding the Spectrum of our Capabilities

We have maintained a strategic focus on development and acquisition of product lines throughout the electromagnetic 

and acoustic spectra. During 2012, we acquired complementary 3D acoustic imaging and broadband electromagnetic 

instrumentation product lines, as I will describe below.

Growth in Technologies for Offshore energy and Global infrastructure

Our products are used throughout the life cycle of offshore energy projects from early seafloor and seismic surveys,

through construction and operation of deepwater wells, and for the developing market of long term reservoir

monitoring. Sales of marine instrumentation grew 12% in 2012, with international sales representing over 60% of 

the total. Although the majority of our sales are for oil and gas applications, we are also seeing growth in renewable 

energy, such as offshore wind farms.

In July, we acquired BlueView Technologies, to expand our 

capabilities in 2D and 3D sonar imaging, with growing applications  

in subsea oil and gas, marine science and defense. We also 

introduced a new multibeam sonar to address the value end of the 

seafloor mapping, or hydrographic survey market. Then, in January 

2013 we announced the pending acquisition of RESON, a leading 

provider of multibeam sonar systems and specialty acoustic sensors 

for hydrography, global marine infrastructure and offshore energy 

operations. RESON’s products, which address the midrange and 

higher performance segments of the hydrographic survey market, 

are very complementary to our existing instruments. 

REsON’s broad range of seafloor mapping and 3D imaging 
sonars are complementary to Teledyne’s existing product lines.

expansion into Test and measurement instrumentation

We expanded our broad line of analytical instruments for environmental, process control and 

laboratory markets by acquiring LeCroy Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electronic test and 

measurement systems. Teledyne LeCroy is a leader in high-end oscilloscopes, including the new 

LabMaster 10Zi, which features an unprecedented real-time bandwidth of 65 GHz. We anticipate 

further advancements in oscilloscope performance over time as we begin to apply the very high 

performance indium phosphide semiconductor technology that has been developed  

at our research center to future generations of oscilloscope probes and instruments. 

The LabMaster 10 Zi is the world’s  
highest bandwidth real-time oscilloscope.

In the fourth quarter, Teledyne LeCroy launched the industry’s first line of high-definition oscilloscopes. These new 

products are based on the market’s only true 12-bit signal acquisition technology, which provides 16 times the 

measurement resolution of the 8-bit technology used by virtually all competitors. This high resolution is important for an 

increasing number of customer applications, ranging from automotive electronics component development to mobile 

devices. 

advancements in Digital imaging

Teledyne’s broad range of digital imaging technologies includes 3D laser imaging, or LIDAR, infrared, X-ray, and ultraviolet 

sensors, linescan and area array cameras, imaging software, and integrated imaging solutions. Sales of our high-

above and below the waterline and produce a composite 3D 

image with precise dimensional measurements.

Our digital imaging solutions span the range from airborne to 

subsea, and increasingly feature multisensor 3D image fusion.  

In partnership with NASA, we have embarked on an exciting 

new project to add digital imaging technology to the International 

Space Station. Anticipated to be operational in 2015, the Multi-

User System for Earth Science (MUSES) will enable remote space 

sensing for scientific and humanitarian purposes and will enable 

Teledyne to address the commercial market for Earth imagery. 

Our digital imaging solutions span the range from airborne to 
subsea, and increasingly feature multisensor 3D image fusion.

looking ahead

Despite the continued economic and government funding uncertainty, we entered 2013 with the strength of our balanced 

business portfolio and now we have the greatest proportion of commercial and international sales in our history. While we 

expect continued contraction in government sales, these represent a smaller percentage of our revenue and an even lower 

proportion of our earnings. Our customers in the offshore oil and gas industry are forecasting strong growth in coming years 

as it becomes increasingly necessary to move operations to deeper waters where Teledyne has a technical advantage, 

propelled by our strong capabilities in materials research, product engineering and manufacturing. We also anticipate 

strength in commercial avionics, given high multiyear backlogs at Airbus and Boeing. There is greater uncertainty about other 

commercial markets that are tied to world economic conditions, but we expect that our continued company and customer 

funded investments in research and development will put us in a strong competitive position. 

I wish to express my thanks to all of our employees and to our Board of Directors for their hard work and continued 

commitment to making Teledyne a stronger company.

Finally, all of us at Teledyne are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. George A. Roberts on February 15, 2013. George 

Roberts entered the United States Naval Academy in 1935, where he and his roommate, Henry Singleton, first met. George 

later attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) where he studied metallurgical science 

and received a D.Sc. in 1942. While friends over the years, George and Henry reunited in 1966, when our predecessor, 

Teledyne, Inc., founded by Henry, merged with Vasco Metals Corporation, where George had become President and 

Chairman of the Board.

Following the merger of Teledyne and Vasco, Henry became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and George was made 

President. Over the next 27 years, with George as President and later Chief Executive Officer, Teledyne grew immensely.  

Some of the original businesses of Teledyne, Inc. continue to reside in our operations. 

George’s passing, along with Henry’s on August 31, 1999, closes a significant chapter in Teledyne’s history. We are privileged 

to be the standard bearer of the Teledyne name and will continue their heritage of putting our stockholders’ interests first.

Sincerely,

Forward-Looking Statements Cautionary Notice

From time to time the Company makes, and this Annual Report, may contain, forward-looking statements, as defined 
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, the credit facility, interest 
expense, severance and relocation costs, 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 
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; cuts to defense spending resulting from future deficit reduction measures, including potential automatic cuts to 
defense spending that have been triggered by the Budget Control Act of 2011. 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, and new regulations or restrictions relating to energy production, including with respect to 
hydraulic fracturing could negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. In addition, financial market 
fluctuations affect the value of our pension assets.

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. 

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 identified financial 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 fluctuations.

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 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including 
its 2012 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.
