SEEING

From the depths of the vast ocean floor to the outer limits 
of space, Teledyne’s expertise is serving markets that require 
advanced technology and an extraordinary measure of high 
reliability. We differentiate ourselves by having a customer 
and company sponsored research center that augments our 
product development capability.

We make mission-critical components for acoustic 
oceanographic exploration and subsea energy production.  
We make infrared imagers for astronomy, and on the other end 
of the electromagnetic spectrum, we also make X-ray detectors 
for dental and surgical radiography. We make oscilloscopes 
and protocol analyzers that engineers use in designing next 
generation electronics, and we make factory automation 
components that help those designs get built with higher 
quality and lower cost.

We like to say our technology is “Everywhereyoulook” but 
in truth the value we deliver represents (and deserves) more 
than just a quick glance. Literally and figuratively, many of our 
businesses revolve around enabling deeper insight for our 
customers. We invite you to take a closer look.

Off the coast of Portugal, a six foot yellow cigar with wings 
and a tailfin bobs gently to the surface of the waves, as it has 
done thousands of times since it was launched months ago by 
ocean researchers in New England. It’s a Slocum glider built 
by Teledyne Webb Research, and through battery-powered 
control of its own buoyancy, it has crossed the entire Atlantic, 
repeatedly diving and resurfacing, gliding forward with every 
cycle, charting a vertical sine wave through the top 600 feet of 
the ocean. It has calmly and silently weathered seas, storms, 
and sharks for 4,000 miles. And like dozens of its “brothers” 
deployed by scientists in this and other oceans, every time it 
has surfaced it has called home with the data its instruments 
have gathered, providing oceanographers and climate 
scientists with invaluable intel on the currents, temperatures, 
and other conditions of the ocean.

WE’RE PUSHING
BOUNDARIES

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated  Year in Review 2013

Hurricanes and typhoons are guided by atmospheric changes, 
but their intensity is governed by ocean temperatures, so 
by reporting back in near real-time, gliders can help predict 
how strong a storm will become. In 2013, researchers from 16 
American and Canadian government agencies and research 
teams took part in “Gliderpalooza,” a collaborative ocean-
survey experiment along the eastern continental shelf of North 
America involving satellites, radar stations, research buoys 
and 15 Slocum gliders. Satellites give great views of the ocean 
surface, but gliders allow active exploration up close and in 
3-D. Organizations such as the National Oceanographic and 
Atmospheric Administration and the Mid-Atlantic Regional 
Association Coastal Ocean Observing System prize not only the 
glider data itself, but the expanded insights they can gain by 
combining it with other data sets from other modalities.

Teledyne of course has technology to serve these other 
modalities as well. Our acoustic Doppler current profilers 
measure water in motion and motion in water; combining 
their data with our multibeam sonar and LIDAR solutions in 
applications such as coastal mapping can create integrated 
and unprecedented views for completely new levels of 
understanding. 

Oceanographers are not the only researchers making use 
of our technology. Our instrumentation enables oil and gas 
exploration and production and has proved increasingly 
valuable to the petroleum industry as the U.S. has grown into 
one of the world’s largest combined producers of crude oil and 
natural gas. In 2013, Teledyne officially opened a new 52,000 
square foot high-tech research and new product development 
center in Daytona Beach to bring forward engineered solutions 
to complex technical challenges, primarily for the offshore 
oil and gas production and exploration industries. Product 
performance and reliability in harsh deepwater environments 
is a differentiating feature for Teledyne and it flows directly 
from our meticulous focus on research. Teledyne Scientific, our 
research and development laboratory, is a prolific generator 
of new technology that has led directly to new products and 
solutions for us all across our diversity of business segments, 
from subsea connectors to semiconductors.

Besides oceanographic instruments that measure the behavior 
of water and geophysical instruments that survey below the 
waves, our environmental instruments analyze water quality 
to monitor chemicals that contribute to acid rain and identify 
trace contaminants in oceans, lakes, rivers, and drinking 
water supplies. We provide similar instrumentation to detect 
atmospheric pollution and monitor air quality. 

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated  Year in Review 2013

Raising our gaze from the sea to the sky, we can find still 
more Teledyne technology. Our avionics systems have 
provided “intelligence in flight” to the world’s major aircraft 
manufacturers and airlines for years, helping improve flight 
safety, efficiency and maintenance. In 2013, Teledyne won 
a landmark single source contract to develop and supply 
unique aircraft information management solutions for the 
majority of future Boeing aircraft. 

Looking even higher, our ultra high resolution and 
multispectral image sensors are used in satellites and aerial 
photography for environmental and earth observation. We 
continue to develop a commercial imaging pointing platform 
to be mounted on the International Space Station. Up to 
four planned Earth-looking instruments on this platform will 
help differentiate our imaging business by collecting data 
of unprecedented spectral quality from space for scientific, 
commercial, educational, and humanitarian purposes. In 
terms of “seeing deeper,” our space imaging technology is 
one of the most recognizable examples. In 2013, Teledyne 
infrared imagers on NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope helped 
deliver the deepest-yet observations of a cluster of galaxies. 
Hubble’s exquisite image quality and the gravitational 
lensing predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity 
enabled astronomers to see background galaxies more than 
12 billion light-years away. 

On a more human scale, in 2013 we entered volume 
production of our world-leading CMOS X-ray detectors for 
medical and dental radiography. In delivering better images 
for medical and dental practitioners and lower X-ray dose 
for patients, we also enable competitive edge for our global 
medical device customers. 

Our deeper insight continues in the test and measurement 
instrumentation we provide for electronics designers. 
Teledyne LeCroy’s HD oscilloscopes provide 12-bit resolution, 
16 times the precision of the previous industry standards, 
and in 2013 the company demonstrated the world’s first 100 
GHz real-time scope. As the world demands increasingly 
high speed digital networks, tools like these become vital to 
leading-edge electronics designers, revealing deeper details 
on faster, fainter, more complex signals. 

These are Teledyne technologies at work. We’re not only 
everywhere you look, we’re also many places you can’t, 
across the spectrum and across the planet. With innovation 
and engineering, we create exceptional solutions enabling 
deeper understanding, which in turn create possibilities for 
our customers.

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated  Year in Review 2013

LETTER TO

In 2013, we achieved our twelfth consecutive year of GAAP 
earnings growth, led by the growing strength of our high-
technology industrial businesses.  Furthermore, record 
earnings were achieved, despite an increase of over 20% in 
company-funded research and development expense.  Our 
commercial focus and global presence continued to grow, 
with approximately 73% of our total sales, and an even greater 
proportion of our profit, derived from commercial customers.  
In addition, sales to international customers represented 44% 
of our revenue in 2013, exceeding U.S. commercial customers 
by 15 percentage points.

Record Performance
•  Full year sales of $2.34 billion increased 9.9% compared to 

last year

•  Earnings per share from continuing operations of $4.87 

increased 12.5%

Instrumentation Sales Exceed $1 Billion
In our Instrumentation segment, which is our largest and most 
profitable, we provide our customers with one of the most 
comprehensive portfolios of marine technological products, 
ranging from connectors and communication devices to 
sensors, imaging systems and complete underwater vehicles.  
In 2013, we made two acquisitions to expand our marine 
imaging and sensor capabilities.  In March, we acquired 
RESON, the world’s leading supplier of commercial shallow 
water multibeam sonars that are used for 3-D surveys of 
the seafloor for mapping of coastlines, ports and harbors, 
dredging, and for siting of offshore drilling rigs.  In October, 
we acquired CDL, a provider of small form factor subsea 
inertial navigation and motion sensor systems, especially well-
suited for remotely operated underwater vehicles.  Supported 
by our acquisitions, total sales of marine instrumentation 
increased 23%.  In addition, organic sales growth for marine 
instruments was 9%, due to strong sales of marine sensors 
for oil exploration, interconnect systems used in offshore 
energy production, and significant growth in sales of complete 
autonomous underwater vehicles.  Other unique products 

such as our subsea cable and pipe detection systems also 
contributed meaningfully.

Sales of environmental and electronic test and measurement 
instrumentation also increased in 2013. Our products that 
measure pollutants in ambient air reached record levels in 
2013.  In addition, sales of instrumentation for laboratory 
and field applications increased with the acquisition of 
CETAC, a provider of automated sample handling and 
sample introduction equipment primarily for trace elemental 
analysis.  In the electronic test domain, despite a relatively 
soft market in 2013, Teledyne LeCroy performed well, 
achieving organic growth of nearly 5% in the fourth quarter, 
and ending the year with the highest level of quarterly sales 
since the acquisition by Teledyne.

Expanding the Spectrum in Digital Imaging
During 2013, we made solid progress in our strategic 
initiatives in high performance X-ray image sensors and 
lower cost uncooled infrared detectors.  These developments 
are aimed at broadening our product lines beyond our 
core businesses in machine vision cameras and cooled 
infrared sensors primarily for space, astronomy and defense 
applications.  Nonetheless, we continued to innovate in our 
core machine vision market, launching new CMOS cameras 
used in manufacturing the most popular tablet computers, 
as well as new smart cameras for a host of general industrial 
applications.  Finally, our machine vision products found 
their way into the world of sports, powering the 3-D replay 
system for the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. 

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated  Year in Review 2013

Consolidation in Defense Electronics and Growth in 
Commercial Avionics
In 2013, we completed a number of facilities rationalizations 
to better align our defense electronics cost structure 
with market conditions.  For example, we relocated our 
microelectronics business from leased space in California 
to an owned existing site in Tennessee. These changes have 
not only reduced costs but have also allowed us to provide 
customers with a more extensive range of capabilities 
in more highly integrated facilities.  In the commercial 
aerospace market, our avionics business performed 
extremely well throughout the year, developing new 
products and gaining share in this growing market. 

Evolution of Engineered Systems
Like Teledyne, as a whole, our Engineered Systems 
segment continues to leverage its heritage in defense and 
space markets into new commercial opportunities.  At the 
same time, we are finding ways to develop system level 
products using technologies from our Instrumentation and 
Digital Imaging segments.  While produced by our marine 
instrumentation companies, our largest marine autonomous 
glider program is managed within this segment.  The 
new shallow water combat submersible which we are 
producing for the Navy SEALs utilizes our marine electronics.  
Through this segment, we also manage commercial 
laboratory facilities, which utilize Teledyne’s environmental 
instrumentation.  In our commercial space efforts, we signed 
a memorandum of agreement with the German Aerospace 
Center (also known as DLR) to deliver the first instrument 
for our platform, the Multi-User System for Earth Sensing 
(MUSES), to be mounted on the International Space Station.

In conclusion, I am very pleased with our performance in 
2013. While the global economy remains relatively slow, we 
delivered growth in our commercial businesses and, at the 
same time, took the necessary actions to control costs and 
reduce our exposure to government markets. We entered 
2014 with a demonstrated record of performance, a much 
more efficient and more attractive business portfolio and a 
strong balance sheet. 

Finally, I would like to thank our Board of Directors for 
their guidance and our employees for their unwavering 
commitment to our customers, our stockholders and 
Teledyne’s success.

Sincerely,

Robert Mehrabian
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

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 2013 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. 

FORWARD-LOOKING 
STATEMENTS 

From time to time the Company makes, and this Year in Review 
and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K 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, stock repurchases, taxes and strategic plans. 
All statements made in this Year in Review and the Company’s 
Annual Report on Form 10-K 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; and 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, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. 
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.
