See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and the “Notes to Consolidated Financial  
Statements” in the 2014 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Teledyne Technologies Incorporated’s financial data. 

On April 19, 2011, we completed the sale of our general aviation piston engine businesses, which comprised the former Aerospace Engines and  
Components segment. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements have been restated to classify this former segment as a discontinued 
operation.

Teledyne Technologies Summary Annual Report 2014

ENGINEERED  
FOR RELIABILITY

Teledyne distinguishes itself by solving the  
most difficult challenges in markets that require 
the utmost in performance and reliability.

Aerospace

Safety is critical in 

commercial aviation, 

and 2014 marked the 

50th anniversary of 

Teledyne Controls, 

whose avionics and 

software help airlines 

increase flight safety and 

operational reliability through 

more efficient aircraft data and 

information management.  

Marine

Teledyne possesses one of the 

broadest portfolios of marine 

sensors and systems designed to 

weather the unforgiving subsea 

environment.  Our connectors are 

designed for decades of reliable 

performance on the ocean floor; 

our autonomous marine vehicles 

withstand hurricanes; and Teledyne’s 

remotely operated vehicles can 

be dropped from aircraft, before 

searching for mines.

Environmental

We provide specialty instrumentation to detect trace 

contaminants in ambient air and drinking water, 

as well as examine food for residual pesticides.  

Teledyne also makes rugged instruments and 

software for the detection, measurement, and 

reporting of air pollutants from power plants.

Machine 
Vision

Reliably improving yield with 

high speed automated inspection 

is crucial to quality control 

in applications ranging from 

consumer electronics to food 

production, and Teledyne’s 

scanning machine vision cameras 

have the highest combination of 

speed, resolution and sensitivity  

in the industry.

Test and 
Measurement

For nearly two 

decades, Teledyne 

has produced 

measurement 

and analysis 

instrumentation 

to ensure that 

valves in nuclear 

power plants will 

operate when called 

upon.  In 2014, with the 

assistance of engineers at 

Teledyne LeCroy, we updated our 

flagship product and software in 

this domain.

Defense

When there is no other option, military pilots trust Teledyne’s 

electronics to obtain speed and altitude data and then 

precisely time firing pulses to initiate a safe ejection.  

Teledyne is proud to empower our military personnel, and 

in 2014, we demonstrated the first-ever precision guided 

munition capability under DARPA’s EXtreme ACcuracy 

Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program.

 
 
 
Teledyne Technologies Summary Annual Report 2014

LETTER TO  
STOCKHOLDERS

Given the strength and diversity of  Teledyne’s highly engineered 
products, we were able to achieve our thirteenth consecutive 
year of GAAP earnings growth.  In an era where more and 

more companies are deciding to adjust financial results for 
non-cash charges or non-recurring items – which,  
incidentally, seem to recur somewhat frequently – we are 
proud to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

In 2014, Teledyne achieved record sales of $2.4 billion, and 
earnings  per share increased 18.1% to $5.75 from $4.87  
in 2013.

Robert Mehrabian
Chairman, President and  
Chief Executive Officer,
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 

In addition, Teledyne achieved record gross margin and  
operating margin due to our ongoing focus on operational  
excellence coupled with the continued evolution of  Teledyne  
into a high technology company serving multiple industrial markets 
requiring advanced technology.

We entered 2014 with headwind in our government businesses as a result of U.S. Government 
budget cuts, also known as Sequestration, and austerity measures across the U.K. and Europe.   
In response, throughout 2013 and 2014, we took aggressive expense-reduction actions to lower  
our cost structure and reduce our manufacturing footprint in businesses serving these markets.

Today, sales from our defense and other U.S. Government-focused businesses appear to be 
stabilizing, with revenue in the fourth quarter at the greatest level throughout 2014.  However, 
while the outlook is now more positive, we are committed to maintain our current cost structure, 
thereby generating greater margins.

Our success depends on how we manage change, both operationally 
and strategically, across our portfolio of businesses.  

For our businesses serving commercial aviation, the air transport 
aircraft cycle remains strong with record deliveries of new 
aircraft.  Furthermore, the positive trajectory of our avionics 
business, Teledyne Controls, has accelerated with market share 
gains, both on new aircraft as well as increased share in the 
aftermarket.

We entered 2015 with uncertainly in our marine businesses 
exposed to energy markets, given the decline in energy 
prices.  Revenue from offshore energy exploration markets 
has begun to decline, but offshore oil production-related 
revenue has remained strong. 

Nevertheless, our marine businesses are somewhat 
buffered from swings in energy markets, since 
our businesses also serve markets with different 
economic cycles, such as ocean science and 
climatology, defense, marine survey for port 
construction, harbor security and search and 
rescue.  In 2014, we further invested in these 
businesses with the acquisition of SeaBotix, 
a leading supplier of miniature remotely 
operated vehicles (Mini ROVs) and the 
acquisition of Oceanscience, which produces 
remotely operated and tethered marine surface 
vehicles.  Each of these businesses largely serves 
markets unrelated to offshore energy.  With these 
acquisitions, in addition to our existing portfolio 
of subsea floats, autonomous gliders, powered 
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUVs), Teledyne  
now possesses the broadest portfolio of unmanned 
marine systems, as well as the most complete suite of 
sensors used on these vehicles. 

While global GDP growth remains relatively weak, we expect 
recent investments in R&D to generate sales growth of new 
products, such as new visible and infrared cameras, as well 
as X-ray products.  In fact, in early 2015, we received 
orders for our first infrared cameras with uncooled 
longwave detectors.

We shall also continue to leverage 
Teledyne Scientific, our research and 
development laboratory, and integrate 
and expand Teledyne’s capabilities 
across multiple business segments.  
For example, our Engineered 
Systems segment has been able to 
leverage technologies developed 
by our marine instrumentation 
companies into U.S. Navy prime 
contracts with contract ceilings in 
excess of $400 million.

 
 
 
Teledyne Technologies Summary Annual Report 2014

Across all of our businesses, we shall continue 
operational excellence, expense control and business unit 
consolidation to improve margins.

Regarding capital allocation, our primary focus remains 
acquisitions that enhance our core businesses.  In 
aggregate, we deployed approximately $195 million on 
acquisitions in 2014.  We are, nonetheless, increasingly 
comfortable with stock repurchases, and spent over $145 
million on stock repurchases in 2014.  We are very pleased 
with the current composition of our business portfolio, 
and we will continue to weigh investment in our own stock 
against the availability and price of acquisitions.

As stewards of our stockholders’ capital, we realize we 
need to compete against all other investment alternatives.  
Beyond managing our business operations and deploying 
the company’s cash flow prudently, we also sometimes 
need to make other difficult decisions.  For example, given 
ever increasing healthcare costs and longevity of current 
and future retirees, we have had to make changes to our 
pension plan.  While these changes ensure the viability of 
the pension plan for the fraction of employees who still 
participate, and also protect our shareholders capital, the 
changes did not come without sacrifices by employees.

On a sad note, Teledyne suffered the loss of contributions 
from two outstanding individuals in 2014.  First, Robyn 
E. McGowan, our Vice President, Administration, Human 
Resources and Assistant Secretary, left the company for 
health reasons, and second, Ruth E. Bruch, a member of 
our Board of Directors, passed away.  Both Robyn and Ruth 
contributed significantly to the success of  Teledyne and we 
miss them both very much.

Lastly, I want to express sincere gratitude to our employees 
and our Board of Directors for their efforts, and our 
stockholders for their continued support.

Best regards,

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 2014 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 
CAUTIONARY NOTICE

From time to time the Company makes, and this Summary 
Annual Report 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, environmental remediation 
costs, stock repurchases, taxes, exchange rate fluctuations and 
strategic plans. All statements made in this Summary Annual 
Report 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; 
cuts to defense spending resulting from existing and future 
deficit reduction measures; and threats to the security of our 
confidential and proprietary information, including cyber 
security threats. 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. 
Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of 
our own commercial aviation businesses. In addition, financial 
market fluctuations affect the value of our pension assets. 
Changes in the policies of U.S. and foreign governments, 
including economic sanctions, could result, over time, in 
reductions or realignment in defense or other government 
spending and further changes in programs in which the 
Company participates.
