Improving the Health of People, Places, 
and the Planet.

Teledyne provides innovative products and services that people rely on in their daily lives, in good
times and in bad.

Continuing themes detailed in the 2018 and 2019 Annual Reports, this year we’d like to address  
the unprecedented set of challenges the world faced in 2020. Record-setting hurricanes, fires, floods,
and a global pandemic all challenged the very core of our way of life. As an Essential Business,
Teledyne has been here, working around the clock, in order to meet those challenges today, and 
into the future.

We have previously written about our enabling technologies for many essential applications 
including water and air quality, toxic gas detection, hurricane forecasting, earth observation from
space, transportation safety, infrastructure inspection, and national security. 

But did you know that our technologies also enable human health applications ranging from 

scientific research to clinical therapies and public health?

Teledyne Technologies 2020 Annual Report

Research and Development

Enabling Rapid, Low Cost DNA Testing
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, contains the 
instructions for an organism to develop, survive 
and reproduce itself. Life science researchers 
rely on DNA testing to identify genetic variations 
associated with diseases. The advent of
affordable rapid DNA testing methods has greatly 
accelerated research and discovery. According 
to the National Institutes of Health, the cost of 
DNA testing has declined by a factor of over 
100,000 since 2001. Teledyne has helped enable
this transformation by developing automated 
microfabrication technology to produce 
millions of microarrays for DNA sensors. We are 
working with major DNA instrument companies 
supporting the fabrication of next generation 
sensors that will extend applications to precision
medicine, consumer screening, and agriculture.

Optical Imaging of Living Organisms
Visualizing biological processes and disease 
progression through optical imaging of living
organisms, known as in vivo imaging, is crucial
in the study and evaluation of potential drug 
candidates early in their development stage. The 
primary aim of these studies is to determine the 
efficacy, safety, dosing, and toxicity of potential
new drugs before human trials begin. Our 
optimized scientific cameras are specifically
engineered to capture high resolution images 
in the extreme low light environments required 
for accurate evaluation. We also enable real time
imaging deep into tissue with infrared imaging 
sensors.

Above: Teledyne scientific cameras excel in 
Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy, used 
in cell biology to study metabolic states of cells 
and tissues.
Left: Teledyne makes both the MEMS microarrays
that hold samples of DNA for analysis and high
performance cameras that read the faint, microscopic
signals that mark genetic sequences.

Accelerating Pharmaceutical 
Development  
Pharmaceutical researchers need to purify 
organic compounds during drug discovery.
This was once a time-consuming process, but 
Teledyne’s chromatography systems enable
researchers to rapidly purify compounds,
including those used in critical batches of
COVID-19 vaccines.

Assuring Pharmaceutical Quality 
Our pharmaceutical testing instruments are 
used in drug research and development, 
manufacturing and quality control facilities
to ensure pharmaceutical products conform
to strict requirements for dosage uniformity,
tablet hardness, disintegration, and dissolution 
(release-rate), and to ensure semisolid topical
formulations and transdermal drug delivery
products such as creams, ointments, and gels
perform properly when applied to the skin.

Teledyne Technologies 2020 Annual Report

Medical Diagnostics

Faster Examination of Biomedical
Samples 
Pathologists use microscopes to examine tissue 
samples and fluids to diagnose diseases. Manual 
microscopes permit examination of about 350 
sections of human tissue per day; but with the  
power of automation, an optical digital pathology 
system can scan as many as 3,600 sections per 
hour, or more than 28,000 per day. The resulting 
images are far more detailed, more easily and 
more reliably transferred, and capable of revealing 
cancerous cells and even malignant cells that
may still exist in tissue after chemotherapy
treatment. Our fast, ultra-high-resolution
cameras and sensors deliver clarity and increased
throughput to digital pathology labs.

Above: A lab technician is using a Flash 
Chromatography system to help speed up the  
purification process in the discovery and 
development of new drugs and treatments.
Left Page: Dissolution testing systems are used  
worldwide for precision release-rate testing of 
pharmaceutical products.

Above: Pathologists use tissue samples like this
one, from a laryngeal chondrosarcoma, to identify 
and study diseases.

Clinical Treatment and 
Therapy

Reliable Worldwide Radiotherapy
The impact of cancer is both near-universal and 
intensely personal—rare are the families who 
have not been impacted by it. The need for cancer
screening and therapy will only grow and we are 
proud to enable both diagnosis and treatment.
Our products generate and deliver the microwave
power required by the linear accelerators within 
radiotherapy cancer treatment machines,
producing the X-rays used in both the imaging
and radiation treatment of tumors. Teledyne
products power 90% of the world’s radiotherapy
systems, enabling precise radiation therapy to 
treat and defeat malignant cancer.

Lower Dose X-ray Sensors
X-ray imaging is an indispensable tool for
many diagnostic and interventional medical 
procedures in both hard and soft tissue. 
Orthopedic surgeons depend on it when 
setting fractures; oncologists rely on it in
mammography to identify calcifications and to 
guide stereotactic biopsy needles. Dentists use 
it daily to find cavities and plan orthodontics. 
In these applications, the low-dose sensitivity
of Teledyne’s X-ray detectors clearly shows
our leadership. We deliver better images at
lower X-ray doses, benefiting both patients 
and practitioners. The advantages we bring 
are multiplied in fluoroscopy (X-ray video)
applications such as angiography, catheter 
placement, heart valve replacement and other 
minimally invasive surgery; because every 
frame requires less dose, the cumulative dose 
is dramatically lower than with competing 
technologies.

Above: Teledyne’s X-ray detectors, used in surgical, 
orthopedic, and dental applications, provide higher 
quality images at lower X-ray doses.
Right: We have designed and manufactured  
magnetrons for over 60 years, delivering microwave 
power to drive linear accelerators for radiotherapy 
systems that destroy cancer cells.

Public Health and Safety

Protecting the Integrity of the World’s 
Food Supply 
The World Health Organization estimates that  
600 million people fall ill and 420,000 die every 
year after eating contaminated food. Automated 
optical imaging for food inspection and grading 
has become instrumental in protecting our 
food processing systems. Teledyne’s imaging 
technology is used in the detection of physical 
variables across a wide variety of grains, fruits, 
and vegetables, distinguishing between defects 
and natural features, as well as invisible and 
subsurface markings. Our wide sensor portfolio
is capable of imaging across multiple spectral 
modalities including monochrome, visible color,
ultraviolet, infrared, and hyperspectral.

Above and Right: Industrial machine vision plays
an important role in quality control for many foods 
and pharmaceuticals and their packaging. Teledyne
excels in these high-speed applications.

Above: The primary clarifier at a wastewater 
treatment plant is another location where 
samples can be taken and then analyzed at a
lab to see if any water-borne viruses or 
chemicals are present.
Below: A portable automated sampler is being 
programmed to collect wastewater samples 
inside a manhole, to be taken later to a lab to 
be analyzed.

Improving Water Safety and Early 
Virus Detection
Improvements in water treatment have resulted 
in reduced transmission of water-borne viruses 
and chemicals. Our instruments are used in every
step of the treatment process from impurity 
removal to disinfection and analysis. Our automatic
samplers and flow monitoring systems are being 
deployed in wastewater handling systems world- 
wide for the detection of the virus that causes
Covid-19 genetic material as an early indicator 
of community spread. Wastewater-based 
epidemiology techniques have shown the virus  
is detectable in wastewater collection systems 
up to a week before symptoms begin to appear  
within a population through traditional methods 
such as individual testing and hospital admissions.
A recent notable example demonstrated early 
detection within a student residence hall allowing
the university to take early action to identify, 
isolate and limit the spread of the virus.

Personal Health

Emerging Personal Biosensor 
Applications 
Opportunities to monitor critical biometrics used 
to measure and track human health continue 
to grow. Wearable devices are now used in
a vast field of applications including medical 
diagnostics, neural imaging, health monitoring, 
and performance tracking. The body is now 
being “sensorized” by wearable devices to 
monitor for disease, track blood and oxygen 
levels, manage diabetes, improve vision and
hearing, and even tracking viral exposure. Our 
high-volume microfabrication factories can 
deliver hundreds of millions of high-quality body 
sensors at low cost, helping to improve health 
and save lives.

Who We Are

PART I

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne” or the “Company”), a Delaware company that spun off

from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated as an independent company in 1999, provides enabling technologies for industrial
growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory
automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research,
deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research. We differentiate ourselves
from many of our direct competitors by having a customer and Company-sponsored applied research center that augments our
product development expertise. We believe that technological capabilities and innovation and the ability to invest in the
development of new and enhanced products are critical to obtaining and maintaining leadership in our markets and
the industries in which we compete.

For discussion on our business and strategy for 2019 and 2018 see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 29, 2019; for a discussion of our 2019 acquisitions, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Recent Developments

On January 4, 2021, we announced together with FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”) that the companies have entered into a
definitive merger agreement under which we will acquire FLIR in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8.0
billion. Under the terms of the merger agreement, FLIR stockholders will receive $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of
our common stock for each FLIR share, which implies a total purchase price of approximately $56.00 per FLIR share based on
the 5-day volume weighted average price of our stock as of December 31, 2020.

The transaction is expected to close in the middle of 2021 subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals,
including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act

Our core business base, includes NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, foreign

militaries and commercial customers.

Customers

We have a large number of customers in the various industries we serve. No commercial customer in 2020 or 2019

accounted for more than 3.0% of total net sales or more than 10% of any segments net sales.

Sales to international customers accounted for approximately 45% of total sales in 2020 compared with 44% in 2019. In

both 2020 and 2019, we sold products to customers in over 100 foreign countries. Approximately 90% of our sales to
international customers during 2020 were made to customers in 22 foreign countries. In 2020, the top five countries for sales to
international customers, ranked by sales, volume were China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France and represented
approximately 20% of our total net sales.

Approximately 26% and 24% of our total net sales for 2020 and 2019, respectively, were derived from contracts with
agencies of, and prime contractors to, the U.S. Government. Information on our sales to the U.S. Government, including direct
sales as a prime contractor and indirect sales as a subcontractor, is as follows (in millions):

U.S. Government sales by segment:

Our principal U.S. Government customer is the U.S. Department of Defense, which totaled approximately $578.4 million
and $545.5 million of our total net sales for 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2020 and 2019, our largest program with the U.S.
Government was the Mission Operations and Integration contract with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, which
represented 1.5% and 1.4% of our total net sales, respectively.

As described in greater detail under Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-K, there are risks associated with doing
business with the U.S. Government. In 2020, approximately 67% of our U.S. Government prime contracts and subcontracts
were fixed-price type contracts, compared to 64% in 2019. Under these types of contracts, we bear the inherent risk that actual
performance cost may exceed the fixed contract price. Such contracts are typically not subject to renegotiation of profits if we
fail to anticipate technical problems, estimate costs accurately or control costs during performance. Additionally,
U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the U.S. Government at its convenience, without identification of any
default. When contracts are terminated for convenience, we recover costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses and
profit on work completed prior to termination. We had no U.S. Government contracts terminated for convenience in 2020,
compared with three in 2019.

Many of our government contracts are awarded after a competitive bidding process in which we seek to emphasize our

ability to provide superior products and technical solutions in addition to competitive pricing.

Our total backlog of confirmed and funded orders was approximately $1,700.2 million at January 3, 2021, compared with

$1,699.3 million at December 29, 2019. We expect to fulfill more than 77% of such backlog of confirmed orders during 2021.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Generally, our businesses have experienced minimal fluctuations in the supply of raw materials, but not without some

price volatility. While some of our businesses provide services, for those businesses that sell hardware and product, a portion
of the value that we provide is labor-oriented, such as design, engineering, assembly and test activities. In manufacturing our
products, we use our own production capabilities and third-party suppliers and subcontractors, including international sources.
Some of the items we use for the manufacture of our products, including certain components for particular marine navigation
applications, certain magnets and helix wire for our traveling wave tubes, certain infrared detectors substrates and certain
ceramics and molding compounds used in our sonar systems, as well as certain scintillator materials used in the production of
our X-Ray detectors, are purchased from limited or single sources, including international sources, due to technical capability,
price and other factors. At times we have experienced difficulty in procuring raw materials, components, sub-assemblies and
other supplies required in our manufacturing processes due to shortages and supplier-imposed allocation of components. We
did not experience significant difficulty in obtaining raw materials and/or other supplies during 2020.

Marketing

Our sales and marketing approach varies by segment and by products within our segments. A shared fundamental tenet is

the commitment to work closely with our customers to understand their needs, with an aim to secure preferred supplier and
longer-term relationships. Given the technical nature of our products, we conduct our domestic and international marketing
activities through a direct internal sales force, as well as third-party sales representatives and distributors, both in the United
States and in other countries.

Competition

Because of the diversity of products sold and the number of markets we serve, we encounter a wide variety of
competitors, none of which we believe offer the same product and service lines or serve all of the same markets as we do.
Although we have certain advantages that we believe help us compete effectively in our markets, each of our markets is highly
competitive. With regard to our defense businesses, it is common in the defense industry for work on programs to be shared
among several companies, including competitors. Our businesses vigorously compete on quality, product performance and
reliability, technical expertise, price and service. Many of our competitors have, and potential competitors could have, greater
name recognition, a larger installed base of products, more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution
capabilities and greater financial, technological and personnel resources than we do.

Intellectual Property

We own and control various intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, confidential information,
trademarks, trade names, and copyrights. We are licensed to use certain patents, technology and other intellectual property
rights owned and controlled by others. Similarly, other companies are licensed to use certain patents, technology and other
intellectual property rights owned and controlled by us. We do not consider any single patent or trademark, or any group
of them, essential either to Teledyne’s business as a whole or to any one of our reportable segments. The annual royalties
received or paid under license agreements are not significant to any of our reportable segments or to Teledyne’s overall
operations.

Patents, patent applications and license agreements will expire or terminate over time by operation of law, in accordance
with their terms or otherwise. We do not expect the expiration or termination of these patents, patent applications and license
agreements to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Environment and Other Government Regulations

Information with respect to environmental matters is set forth under “Other Matters – Environmental” of “Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition” and Note 14 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K. No material capital expenditures relating to environmental or other
government regulatory compliance are presently anticipated.

Sustainability

Teledyne continues to focus on developing solutions to address sustainability and climate challenges facing humanity
today. Many of our products directly support sustainability and climate challenges. We provide a broad range of precision
measurement technologies for environmental monitoring and climate research. Our sensors and instruments are deployed
everywhere, from pole to pole, in space, on aircraft and drones, on land, on the sea surface, in the water column, and on the
seafloor. They operate around the clock, measuring greenhouse gases from space, precisely monitoring air and water quality
throughout the world, and continuously profiling all of Earth’s oceans. Applications of our instruments provide scientists
information that spans time from the origin of the universe to providing real-time data regarding air pollution and dangerous
storms, such as time-critical warning of hurricanes and tsunamis.

Board Oversight

Pursuant to the mandate in their respective charters, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Board”)

regularly reviews matters related to compliance with environmental laws and the health and safety of employees, and the
Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board reviews and evaluates our policies and practices and monitors our efforts
in areas of legal and social responsibility, diversity and sustainability.

Human Capital

We consider our relations with our employees to be good. At January 3, 2021, our total workforce consisted of

approximately 10,670 employees in more than 25 countries. Workforce demographics for various regions are provided below:

We have a stable and long-tenured workforce. In 2020, our average voluntary employee turnover (excluding reductions in

force) was approximately 9%. As of January 3, 2021, the average years of service of our employees was approximately 11
years.

We are committed to identifying and developing the talents of our next generation of leaders. On an annual basis, we
conduct an organization and leadership review with our Executive Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer for all
segment, business unit, and function leaders, focusing on our high performing and high potential talent, diversity and
succession for our most critical roles. From this review, individualized development and retention programs are implemented
or revised as needed.

With the oversight of our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Secretary and our Vice

President of Human Resources, our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee has piloted an anonymized resume review
process to evaluate the potential for name bias when reviewing potential candidates, expanded recruitment sources, and
enhanced diversity training and awareness.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors; Cautionary Statement as to Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion sets forth the material risk factors that could affect Teledyne’s financial condition and

operations. You should not consider any descriptions of these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect
Teledyne. Any of the risk factors discussed below could by itself, or combined with other factors, materially and adversely
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, competitive position or reputation, including materially increasing
expenses or decreasing revenues, which could result in material losses or a decrease in earnings.

Risks related to the pending acquisition of FLIR

On January 4, 2021, we announced our proposed acquisition of FLIR in a cash and stock transaction valued at

approximately $8.0 billion (including net debt), which would make the acquisition our largest to date. FLIR designs, develops,
manufactures, markets, and distributes technologies that enhance perception and awareness. FLIR provides innovative sensing
solutions through thermal imaging, visible-light imaging, video analytics, measurement and diagnostic, and advanced threat
detection systems. FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of applications in government and defense,
industrial, and commercial markets. FLIR, headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, will be part of the Digital Imaging segment.

5

While many of the products made and markets served by FLIR are complementary to Teledyne, the acquisition of FLIR
would expand the size of our Digital Imaging segment relative to our other segments. Continued innovation and research and
development efforts will be required to maintain FLIR’s leadership position in imaging products. There are numerous risk and
uncertainties associated with the acquisition, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•
•

•

Completion of the acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, some of which are outside of our control, and if any
of these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the acquisition will not be completed. Among these conditions are the
approval by FLIR’s stockholders of the acquisition, the approval by our stockholders of the issuance of Teledyne stock
in the acquisition and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of any
applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act and under the antitrust laws of certain non-
U.S. jurisdictions.
Teledyne’s and FLIR’s existing business relationships with third parties may be disrupted due to uncertainty associated
with the acquisition, which could have an adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position
of the combined company.
Failure to complete the acquisition could negatively impact our stock price and our future business and financial
results.
The merger agreement between Teledyne and FLIR subjects us to restrictions on our activities, such as certain equity
issuances during the period while the acquisition is pending.
After the acquisition, as a result of the issuance of Teledyne stock in the acquisition to the holders of FLIR stock,
Teledyne stockholders will have lower ownership and voting interests in Teledyne than they currently have and will
exercise less influence over management.
Litigation challenging the acquisition may increase costs and prevent the acquisition from being completed within the
expected timeframe, or from being completed at all.
Both we and FLIR will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the acquisition.
Unplanned future events and conditions could reduce or delay the accretion to earnings that is currently projected by
us in connection with the acquisition.
Pursuant to the merger agreement we may be required, under certain circumstances related to the termination of the
merger agreement, to pay a termination fee to FLIR of $250.0 million, which, if paid, may materially and adversely
affect our financial results.

•

•
•

• We intend to pay the cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition, refinance certain existing indebtedness of us
and FLIR, and pay other fees and expenses required to be paid in connection with the acquisition from cash on hand
and borrowings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the funds necessary to pay the cash portion of
the merger consideration in connection with the acquisition and refinance certain existing indebtedness on acceptable
terms, in a timely manner or at all.
The COVID-19 pandemic may delay or prevent the completion of the acquisition.
After completion of the acquisition, we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the transaction,
which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
The future results of the combined company may be adversely impacted if we do not effectively manage our expanded
operations following completion of the acquisition.
Both Teledyne and FLIR may have difficulty retaining, motivating, and attracting executives and other employees in
light of the pending acquisition, including those experienced with post-acquisition integration, and failure to do so
could seriously harm the combined company.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial
condition of Teledyne, FLIR and the combined company following the completion of the acquisition.
The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the acquisition if, among other things, the combined
company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial
or industry analysts, or if the effect of the acquisition on the combined company’s financial results is not consistent
with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

Risks related to the indebtedness expected to be incurred in connection with the FLIR acquisition
The incurrence by us of substantial indebtedness in connection with the financing of the acquisition, along with the
planned assumption of FLIR’s existing senior notes may have an adverse impact on our liquidity, limit our flexibility in
responding to other business opportunities and increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions.
Teledyne expects to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in connection with the financing of the FLIR
acquisition, which we expect will be funded using borrowings along with cash on hand. We may also incur additional
indebtedness through the planned assumption of FLIR’s existing senior notes. The use of indebtedness to finance the
acquisition will reduce our liquidity and could cause us to place more reliance on cash generated from operations to pay
principal and interest on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for working capital and capital expenditure

6

needs or to pursue other potential strategic plans. We expect that the agreements we will enter into with respect to the
indebtedness we will incur to finance the acquisition or in connection with the planned assumption of FLIR’s existing senior
notes will contain negative covenants, that, subject to certain exceptions, will include limitations on indebtedness, liens,
dispositions, investments and mergers and other fundamental changes. Our ability to comply with these negative covenants can
be affected by events beyond our control. The indebtedness and these negative covenants will also have the effect, among other
things, of limiting our ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, limiting our flexibility in the conduct of our business and
making us more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions. In addition, a breach of
the negative covenants could result in an event of default with respect to the indebtedness, which, if not cured or waived, could
result in the indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or operating results.
Following completion of the acquisition, the credit rating of the combined company could be downgraded and/or the
combined company may fail to obtain an investment grade rating, which may increase borrowing costs or could trigger
an obligation to make an offer to purchase FLIR’s $500 million senior notes.

By reason of the debt incurred to finance the cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition, the combined
company will have a considerably higher level of indebtedness than we and FLIR currently have in the aggregate, and there can
be no assurance that the credit ratings of the existing FLIR debt will not be subject to a downgrade below investment grade. If a
ratings downgrade were to occur or if the combined company fails to obtain an investment grade rating, the combined company
could experience higher borrowing costs in the future and more restrictive debt covenants, which would reduce profitability and
diminish operational flexibility. Specifically, in the event that FLIR’s existing senior notes are downgraded below investment
grade as a result of the acquisition, the terms of these notes will require the combined company to commence a change of
control offer after the closing of the acquisition.
Because of higher debt levels, we may not be able to service our debt obligations in accordance with the terms contained
in the agreements.

Our ability to meet our expense and debt service obligations contained in the agreements we expect to enter into with

respect to the indebtedness we will incur to finance the acquisition will depend on our available cash and its future performance,
which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, including potential changes in laws or regulations,
industry conditions, industry supply and demand balance, customer preferences, the success of our products and pressure from
competitors. If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations after the acquisition or should we fail to comply with our
financial and other negative covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, we may be required to
refinance all or part of our debt, sell important strategic assets at unfavorable prices, incur additional indebtedness or issue
common stock or other equity securities. We may not be able to, at any given time, refinance our debt, sell assets, incur
additional indebtedness or issue equity securities on terms acceptable to us, in amounts sufficient to meet our needs. If we are
able to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, such issuance would also result in dilution to our
stockholders. Our inability to service our obligations or refinance our debt could have a material and adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or operating results after the acquisition. In addition, our debt obligations may limit our ability to
make required investments in capacity, technology or other areas of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or operating results.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Acquisitions involve inherent risks that may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our growth strategy includes acquisitions. In 2020 and 2019, we expended $29.0 million and $484.0 million in cash,

respectively, relating to acquisitions and other investments. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as:

•

•

•
•
•

•

our ability to assess accurately the value, strengths, weaknesses, internal controls, contingent and other liabilities and
potential profitability of acquisition candidates;
difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, including the potential loss of key personnel from an acquired business,
our potential inability to achieve identified financial, operating and other synergies anticipated to result from an
acquisition, and integration issues associated with internal controls of acquired businesses;
the diversion of management’s attention from our existing businesses;
the potential impairment of assets;
potential unknown liabilities associated with a business that we acquire or in which we invest, including environmental
liabilities; and
production delays associated with consolidating acquired facilities and manufacturing operations.

While we conduct financial and other due diligence in connection with our acquisitions and generally seek some form of

protection, such as indemnification from the seller, insurance coverage, and sometimes placing a portion of the purchase price
in escrow to cover potential liabilities, such acquired companies may have weaknesses or liabilities that are not accurately
assessed or brought to our attention at the time of the acquisition. Further, indemnities, insurance or escrow arrangements may
not fully cover such matters.

7

In connection with our acquisitions, including those acquisitions that we do not complete, we may incur significant
transaction costs. We are required to expense, as incurred, such transaction costs, which may have a material adverse impact on
our financial results.

Our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with our covenants that apply to our indebtedness, could materially and
adversely affect our business.

As of January 3, 2021, we had $778.5 million total outstanding indebtedness, including $195.0 million in senior

unsecured fixed rate notes, $305.3 million in Euro denominated fixed rate notes, $150.0 million in term loans and $125.0
million outstanding under our $750.0 million floating rate credit facility. Our indebtedness or a failure to comply with our
covenants that apply to our indebtedness could harm our business by, among other things, reducing the funds available to make
acquisitions, capital expenditures, or reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business or market
conditions. Our indebtedness exposes us to interest rate risk since a portion of our debt obligations are at variable rates. Our
indebtedness or a failure to comply with our covenants that apply to our indebtedness could also have a material adverse effect
on our business by increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our
business. General adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business could result in our inability to repay
this indebtedness in a timely manner.

Further, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR) has

announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative
Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that
represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in debt instruments, derivatives and other financial contracts
that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR
and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives, debt
and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. It is unclear as to what the new method of calculating LIBOR that may evolve and
this new method could adversely affect the Company’s interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness. The Company is
monitoring the ARRC transition plan and is evaluating potential related risks. As of January 3, 2021, approximately 35.3% of
the Company’s long-term debt is variable and can be indexed to USD-LIBOR. Our $750.0 million credit facility includes a
procedure to switch to LIBOR alternative replacement rates in the future.

Escalating global trade tensions and the adoption or expansion of tariffs and trade restrictions could negatively impact
us.

The Company has operations in China, which represented one of the top five countries for our international sales in 2020

and 2019. Any tariffs or other trade restrictions affecting the import of products from China or any retaliatory trade measures
taken by China in response to existing or future tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Starting in 2018, the U.S. Government imposed tariffs on a wide range of goods imported from China and China has
retaliated by placing tariffs on various U.S. origin goods. While both countries signed a preliminary trade agreement in January
2020 halting further tariffs and increasing sales of U.S. goods to China, the agreement leaves in place most tariffs on Chinese
goods. The final outcome of the negotiations and agreements is not possible to predict. Further escalation of the “trade war”
between the U.S. and China, or the countries’ inability to reach further trade agreements, could result in continued or increased
tariffs. High tariffs generally increase the cost of materials for our products, which could result in our products becoming less
competitive or generating lower margins. With high tariffs imposed on our products, we may also need to find new suppliers
and components for our products, which could result in production delays. To the extent our products are the subject of
retaliatory tariffs, customers in some countries or regions, such as China, may begin to seek domestic or non-U.S. sources for
products that we sell, or be pressured or incentivized by foreign governments not to purchase U.S.-origin goods, which could
harm our future sales in these markets. Additionally, if China bolsters laws or regulations requiring the use of local China
suppliers, it could have a negative impact on Teledyne’s revenues.

Additionally, a number of well-established customers and suppliers have become listed on Government restricted party

lists without much warning. In particular, U.S. export enforcement agencies have placed several Chinese and Russian
companies and many of their international subsidiaries on such lists, prohibiting the export of most commercial and dual-use
items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. Multiple Teledyne companies had large pending orders with some of
those companies that had to be either cancelled or for which Teledyne has submitted export license applications that have a low
probability of approval. For example, Huawei Technologies, Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”), and its non-U.S. affiliates have been added
to the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security Entity list. Huawei was a customer of our test and
measurement business, and pending export license applications have not yet been approved. The U.S. Government has also
made efforts to increase restrictions on some of the listed entities, including proposals to expand U.S. export jurisdiction over
foreign made products containing certain U.S.-origin materials. In 2020, the U.S. Government applied restrictions to products
sold to Huawei where there was no U.S. content in the products, but certain equipment used to manufacture the products had
U.S. origins. Additionally, we face the risk that Airbus, a customer to our commercial aerospace business, will demonstrate a
preference for non-U.S. sources due to the complications and uncertainties of trade compliance. While we will continue to
work to mitigate the impact of tariffs and trade restrictions, they could result in revenue reduction, price increases on material

8

used in our products or production delays, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operational results
and cash flows.

A material amount of our total revenues is derived from companies in the oil and gas industry, especially the offshore oil
and gas industry, a historically cyclical industry with levels of activity that are significantly affected by the levels and
volatility of oil and gas prices.

A material amount of our total revenues is derived from companies in or connected to oil and gas exploration,

development and production, especially the offshore oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry has historically been cyclical
and characterized by significant changes in the levels of exploration and development activities. Oil and gas prices, and market
expectations of potential changes in those prices, significantly affect the levels of those activities. Any prolonged reduction in
the overall level of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and gas
prices or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our businesses within our
Instrumentation segment.

Some factors that have affected and are likely to continue affecting oil and gas prices and the level of demand for our

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

products and services include the following:
worldwide demand for oil and gas;
general economic and business conditions and industry trends;
the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), to set and maintain production levels;
the level of production by non-OPEC countries;
the ability of oil and gas companies to generate or raise funds for capital expenditures;
domestic and foreign tax policy;
laws and governmental regulations that restrict exploration and development of oil and gas in various offshore
jurisdictions;
laws and governmental regulation that restrict the use of hydraulic fracturing;
technological changes;
the political environment of oil-producing regions;
the price and availability of alternative fuels; and
climate change regulations that provide incentives to conserve energy or use alternative energy sources.

Teledyne manufactures seismic energy sources, interconnects and data acquisition products that are used in offshore
energy exploration. When crude oil and natural gas prices are low, the level of marine seismic exploration activity typically
decreases, potentially resulting in reduced demand for our products used in offshore energy exploration. In addition, a decline
in the level of capital spending by oil and natural gas companies may result in a reduced rate of development of new energy
reserves, which could adversely affect demand for our products related to energy production, and, in certain instances, result in
the cancellation, modification or rescheduling of existing orders and a reduction in customer-funded research and development
related to next generation products.

Recession, financial and credit market disruptions, or an economic downturn in China, may adversely affect us.

If another global recession emerges, if economic uncertainty in Europe continues or worsens, or if economic growth in

China slows, we may experience declines in revenues, profitability and cash flows from reduced orders, payment delays,
collection difficulties, increased price pressures for our products, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories or other
factors caused by the economic problems of our customers. Our sales to China-based customers represented approximately
6.0% and 6.6% of total revenues in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Economic growth in China had slowed due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Continued growth in many of our businesses, including those in our Environmental Instrumentation group, could be
negatively impacted if another economic downturn occurs in China. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased volatility and
pricing in the capital markets. If negative conditions in the global credit markets prevent our customers from having access to
credit or render them insolvent, orders for our products may decrease, which would result in lower revenue. Likewise, if our
suppliers face challenges in obtaining credit, in selling their products, or otherwise in operating their businesses or remaining
solvent, they may become unable to offer the materials we use to manufacture our products. An economic or credit crisis could
also impact our ability to raise capital when needed. These events could adversely impact our ability to manufacture affected
products and could also result in reductions in our revenue, increased price competition, and increased operating costs, which
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operational results, and cash flows.

We develop and manufacture products for customers in the energy exploration and production markets, domestic and
international commercial aerospace markets, the semiconductor industry, and the consumer electronics, telecommunications
and automotive industries; each of which has been cyclical, exhibited rapid changes and suffered from fluctuating market
demands. A cyclical downturn in these markets may materially affect future operating results. Due to declines in air travel, we
face risk that our addressable market for retrofit products will shrink further as airlines retire significant number of aircraft.

In addition, we sell products and services to customers in industries that are sensitive to the level of general economic

activity and consumer spending habits and to customers in more mature industries that are sensitive to capacity constraints.
Adverse economic conditions affecting these industries may reduce demand for our products and services, which may reduce
our revenues, profits or production levels. Some of our businesses serve industries such as power generation and petrochemical

9

refining, which may be negatively impacted in the event of future reductions in global capital expenditures and manufacturing
capacity.

We are subject to the risks associated with international sales and international operations, which could harm our
business or results of operations.

During 2020, sales to international customers accounted for approximately 45% of our total revenues, compared with 44%

in 2019. In 2020, we sold products to customers in over 100 countries. In 2020, the top five countries for international sales
were China, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and France, constituting approximately 20% of our total sales. We
anticipate that future sales to international customers will continue to account for a significant and increasing percentage of our
revenues, particularly since business and growth plans for many Teledyne businesses focus on sales outside of the United States
to emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil and West Africa.

Risks associated with international sales and operations include, but are not limited to:

•
•
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•

•

political and economic instability;
international terrorism;
export controls, including U.S. export controls related to China, sanctions related to Russia, and increased scrutiny of
exports of marine instruments, digital imaging and other products;
failure to comply with anti-bribery legislation, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
changes in legal and regulatory requirements;
U.S. and foreign government policy changes affecting the markets for our products;
changes in tax laws and tariffs;
changes in U.S. - China and U.S. - Russia relations;
difficulties in protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights;
failure to comply with the foreign data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”) in the European Union;
inadvertent transfers of export-controlled information due to increased cross-border technology transfers and the use of
offshore computer servers;
transportation, including piracy in international waters;
currency exchange rate fluctuations; and
challenges relating to managing a global workforce with diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Exchange rate fluctuations may increase the cost of our products to international customers and therefore reduce our
competitive position.

In June 2016, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union
(“E.U.”), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” The U.K. formally left the E.U. on January 31, 2020 and entered a transition period
until December 31, 2020 during which the U.K. remained in both the E.U. customs union and single market. That transition
period has now ended and the E.U. and U.K. have entered into a Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”). The TCA
ensures tariff-free and quota-free trade in goods between the E.U and the U.K. but also introduces certain non-tariff barriers to
trade. In the medium- to long-term, the withdrawal of the U.K. from the E.U. may create further global economic uncertainty,
which may adversely impact the economies of the U.K., the E.U. countries and other nations, may cause our current and future
customers to reduce their spending on our products and services, and may cause certain E.U.-based customers to source
products from businesses based outside of the U.K. For example, Brexit-related uncertainty could lead to a reconsideration by
Airbus as to future investment and spending in the U.K., which could reduce sales for our U.K.-based businesses that supply
Airbus. Potential Brexit-related risks for our U.K.-based businesses also include increased import duties, loss of customers in
the E.U., delays in the movement of goods between the U.K. and the E.U. and loss of access to the E.U. labor pool. Given our
several U.K.-based businesses, volatility in the value of the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar, or other foreign currencies,
could increase the cost of raw materials and components for our U.K.-based businesses and could otherwise adversely affect the
business, operations and the financial condition of our U.K.-based businesses.

Higher tax rates may harm our results of operations and cash flow.

As Teledyne expands globally, increases in the United States of the taxation of foreign income and expenses may harm

our results of operations and cash flow. The relative amount of income we earn in other jurisdictions could reduce our net
income and increase our cash payments. Additionally, the new U.S. Presidential administration proposed a higher corporate
tax rate of 28% compared to 21%. Such increased tax rate in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions could also reduce our net income
and increase our cash payments.

10

Changes in future business conditions could cause business investments, goodwill and other long-lived assets to become
impaired, resulting in significant losses and write-downs that would reduce our operating income.

On January 3, 2021, Teledyne’s goodwill was $2,150.0 million and net acquired intangible assets were $409.7 million.
Under current accounting guidance, we are required to test annually both acquired goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment based upon a fair value approach, rather than amortizing the value over time. We have chosen to perform
our annual impairment reviews of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each fiscal
year. We are also required to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that
would more likely than not reduce our enterprise fair value below its book value. These events or circumstances could include
a significant change in the business climate, including a significant sustained decline in an entity’s market value, legal factors,
operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If
the fair market value is less than the carrying value, including goodwill, we could be required to record an impairment charge.
The valuation of reporting units requires judgment in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and estimated product life
cycles. In making these judgments, we evaluate the financial health of the business, including such factors as industry
performance, changes in technology and operating cash flows. As we have grown through acquisitions, the amount of goodwill
and net acquired intangible assets is a significant portion of our total assets. As a result, the amount of any annual or interim
impairment could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results for the period in
which the charge is taken. We also may be required to record an earnings charge or incur unanticipated expenses if, as a result
of a change in strategy or other reason, we were to determine the value of other assets had been impaired.

For additional discussion of business investments, goodwill and other long-lived assets, see the discussion under “Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition” and Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Our revenue from U.S. Government contracts depends on the continued availability of funding from the U.S.
Government, and, accordingly, we have the risk that funding for our existing contracts may be canceled or diverted to
other uses or delayed or that funding for new programs will not be available.

We perform work on a number of contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies and departments of

the U.S. Government including subcontracts with government prime contractors. Sales under contracts with the
U.S. Government, including sales under contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, as prime contractor or subcontractor,
represented approximately 26% of our total revenue in 2020, compared with 24% in 2019. Performance under government
contracts has inherent risks that could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations and the failure of

Congress to appropriate funds for programs in which we participate could negatively affect our results of operations. U.S.
Government shutdowns have resulted in delays in anticipated contract awards and delayed payments of invoices for several of
our businesses and any new shutdown could have similar or worse effects. The failure by Congress to approve future budgets
on a timely basis could delay procurement of our products and services and cause us to lose future revenues. Any renewed
emphasis on Federal deficit and debt reduction could lead to a further decrease in overall defense spending. Budgetary
concerns could result in future contracts being awarded more on price than on other competitive factors, and smaller defense
budgets could result in government in-sourcing of programs and more intense competition on programs that are not in-sourced,
which could result in lower revenues and profits.

Also, defense spending does not necessarily correlate to continued business for us, because not all of the programs in
which we participate or have current capabilities may be provided with continued funding. Changes in policy and budget
priorities by the new U.S. Presidential Administration for various defense and National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(“NASA”) programs could impact our Engineered Systems, Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Digital Imaging segments.
Our Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment may be impacted by volume or price reductions in connection with the F-35
Joint Strike Fighter program, to the extent they are imposed. The timing of program cycles can affect our results of operations
for a quarter or year, and cancellations of significant programs such as the Space Launch System (“SLS”), Launch Vehicle
Stage Adapter (“LVSA”), International Space Station (“ISS”), Mission Operations and Integration (“MO&I”), or the Shallow
Water Combat Submersible (“SWCS”) would affect our results.

In 2020 and 2019, our largest contract with the U.S. Government was the MO&I contract, which represented 1.5% and
1.4% of our total net sales, respectively. In June 2020, Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. was notified that NASA had awarded
to another contractor the Marshall Operations, Systems, Services, and Integration (“MOSSI”) contract, which represented a
combination of the Huntsville Operations Support Center contract and the MO&I contract. Subsequently, Teledyne Brown
Engineering, Inc. filed a protest challenging such award, which protest was sustained and which sustainment triggered the
cancelation of the MOSSI request for proposal and requiring a new acquisition, free of involvement of individuals with a
conflict of interest, to begin. While the MO&I contract continues through September 2021, and NASA has several options to
further extend it through March 2023, there is no guarantee it will be further extended. NASA anticipates release of the new
acquisition, the Marshall Operations, Systems, Services, and Integration II, draft solicitation in April 2021 with the award
expected in late 2022. There is no guarantee that Teledyne Brown Engineering will be awarded this new contract.

11

It is also not uncommon for the U.S. Department of Defense to delay the timing of awards or change orders for major
programs for six to twelve months. Reductions and delays in research and development funding by the U.S. Government could
impact our revenues. Uncertainty over budgets or priorities with the new U.S. Presidential Administration could result in
delays in funding and the timing of awards, and changes in funded programs that could have a material impact on our revenues.
A significant shift in U.S. Government priorities related to programs and acquisition strategies could have a material impact to
our financial results.

Further, most of our U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the U.S. Government either at its

convenience or upon the default of the contractor. Termination for convenience provisions provides only for the recovery of
costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed prior to termination. Termination for default
clauses imposes liability on the contractor for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in re-procuring undelivered items
from another source. We had no U.S. Government contracts terminated for convenience in 2020, compared with three in 2019.
No contracts were terminated for default during such two-year period.

Our U.S. Government contracting business is subject to government contracting regulations, including increasingly
complex regulations on cybersecurity, and our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could harm our
operating results and prospects.

Our U.S. Government contracting businesses, like other government contractors, are subject to various audits, reviews and

investigations (including private party “whistleblower” lawsuits) relating to our compliance with applicable federal and state
laws and regulations. More routinely, the U.S. Government may audit the costs we incur on our U.S. Government contracts,
including allocated indirect costs. Such audits could result in adjustments to our contract costs. Any costs found to be
improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and such costs already reimbursed would need to be
refunded. We have recorded contract revenues based upon costs we expect to realize after final audit. In a worst case scenario,
should a business or division be charged with wrongdoing, or should the U.S. Government determine that the business or
division is not a “presently responsible contractor,” that business or division, and conceivably our Company as a whole, could
be temporarily suspended or, in the event of a conviction, could be debarred for up to three years from receiving new
government contracts or government-approved subcontracts. In addition, we could expend substantial amounts defending
against such charges and in damages, fines and penalties if such charges were proven or were to result in negotiated settlements.
Routine audits by U.S. Government agencies of Teledyne’s various procurement and accounting systems have the potential to
result in disapproval of the audited systems by the administrative contracting officer. Disapproval could significantly impact
cash flow, as up to 10% may be withheld from payments.

The Department of Defense as well as other U.S. Government contracting agencies have adopted rules and regulations

requiring contractors to implement a set of cyber security measures to attain the safeguarding of contractor systems that process,
store, or transmit certain information. Implementation and compliance with these cyber security requirements is complex and
costly, and could result in unforeseen expenses, lower profitability and, in the case of non-compliance, penalties and damages,
all of which could have an adverse effect on our business. The cyber security requirements also impact our supply base which
could impact cost, schedule and performance on programs if suppliers do not meet the requirements and therefore, do not
qualify to support the programs.

We may not have sufficient resources to fund all future research and development and capital expenditures or possible
acquisitions.

In order to remain competitive, we must make substantial investments in research and development of new or enhanced

products and continuously upgrade our process technology and manufacturing capabilities. Our research and development
efforts primarily involve engineering and design related to improving existing products and developing new products and
technologies in the same or similar fields. Our Teledyne Scientific Company subsidiary, which serves as our primary research
center, has been actively promoting and funding joint research and development projects with other Teledyne businesses,
including Teledyne Oil & Gas, Teledyne Defense Electronics, Teledyne Digital Imaging and our Test and Measurement
businesses. The business of Teledyne e2v, for which the design and development of specialized technology for high
performance systems and equipment is integral, also requires substantial investments in research and development.
Additionally, some of our businesses have sought or are actively pursuing governmental support and funding for some of their
research and development initiatives, including funding in 2019 for DALSA’s semiconductor foundry in Bromont, Quebec.
Nonetheless, we may be unable to fund all of our research and development and capital investment needs or possible strategic
acquisitions of businesses or product lines. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on a variety of factors, some of
which will not be within our control, including the existence of bank and capital markets, investor perceptions of us, our
businesses and the industries in which we operate, and general economic conditions. Failure to successfully raise needed
capital or generate cash flow on a timely or cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. In addition, if we fail to accurately predict future customer needs and preferences or fail to
produce viable technologies, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant
revenue, which would adversely affect our profitability.

Limitations in customer funding for applied research and development and limitations in government support for research

and development expenditures may reduce our ability to apply our ongoing investments in some market areas.

12

We may be unable to successfully introduce new and enhanced products in a timely and cost-effective manner or
increase our participation in new markets, which could harm our profitability and prospects.

Our operating results depend in part on our ability to introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis. We have

major development activities at some of our businesses, for which a failure to execute in a timely manner could negatively
impact those businesses. In order to improve our product development capabilities, we purchased the research center that is
now Teledyne Scientific Company in 2006 and in 2011 we purchased DALSA to gain access to a well-equipped MEMS
research and development center. In 2013, we opened a 52,000-square-foot technology development center in Daytona Beach,
Florida primarily to serve the offshore oil and gas production and exploration industries. We are currently upgrading
infrastructure at Teledyne e2v’s facility in Chelmsford, U.K. and have expanded Teledyne DALSA’s MEMS foundry in
Bromont, Quebec, as well as acquired a second MEMS foundry in Edmonton, Alberta as part of the Micralyne acquisition.
Successful product development and introduction depend on numerous factors, including our ability to anticipate customer and
market requirements, changes in technology and industry standards, our ability to differentiate our product offerings from the
product offerings of our competitors, and market acceptance. We may not be able to develop and introduce new or enhanced
products in a timely and cost-effective manner or to develop and introduce products that satisfy customer requirements.

We also have the risk that our defense businesses may not be able to replace revenue related to legacy platforms with
products for new platform applications. We face the risk that changes in systems architectures will obviate the need for our
products. For example, electronically steered radar arrays do not need certain high voltage interconnects like mechanically
steered radar arrays do and unmanned aircraft will not need ejection seat sequencers.

Our new products also may not achieve market acceptance or correctly address new industry standards and technological
changes. We may also lose any technological advantage to competitors if we fail to develop new products in a timely manner.
Additionally, new products may trigger increased warranty costs as information on such products is augmented by actual
usage. Accelerated entry of new products to meet heightened market demand and competitive pressures may cause additional
warranty costs as development and testing time periods might be accelerated or condensed.

We intend to both adapt our existing technologies and develop new products to expand into new market segments. We
may be unsuccessful in accessing these and other new markets if our products do not meet our customers’ requirements, as a
result of changes in either technology and industry standards or because of actions taken by our competitors.

We may not be able to reduce the costs of our products to satisfy customers’ cost reduction mandates, which could harm
our sales or margins.

Cost conscious customers may seek price reductions of our products. While we continually work to reduce our
manufacturing and other costs of our products, without affecting product quality and reliability, there is no assurance that we
will be able to do so or to do so in a timely manner to satisfy the pricing pressures of our customers. Prices of raw materials
and other components used in our products may be beyond our control depending on market conditions. As a result, customers
may seek lower cost products from China or other developing countries where manufacturing costs are lower.

The airline industry is heavily regulated, and if we fail to comply with applicable requirements, our results of operations
could suffer.

The Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and equivalent regulatory agencies have increasingly focused on the need

to assure that airline industry products are designed with sufficient cybersecurity controls to protect against unauthorized access
or other unwanted compromise. A failure to meet these evolving expectations could negatively impact sales into the industry
and expose us to legal or contractual liability.

Governmental agencies throughout the world, including the FAA, prescribe standards and qualification requirements for

aircraft components, including virtually all commercial airline and general aviation products. Specific regulations vary from
country to country, although compliance with FAA requirements generally satisfies regulatory requirements in other countries.
If any material authorization or approval qualifying us to supply our products is revoked or suspended, then sale of the product
would be prohibited by law, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the FAA or equivalent regulatory agencies in other countries propose new regulations or changes to
existing regulations, which often are more stringent than existing regulations. If such proposals are adopted and enacted, we
may incur significant additional costs to achieve compliance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Recent trends by China’s aviation authority to relax restrictions on airspace may
be reversed, and anticipated new regulations loosening airspace restrictions may not materialize, which could impact sales
prospects in China for our commercial aerospace businesses.

The FAA and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Fraud Section, among other agencies and countries, have been
investigating two Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft crashes that occurred in October 2018 and March 2019, which resulted in the
groundings of such aircraft across the world. Subsequently, Boeing announced in December 2019 that it was temporarily
suspending production of the 737 Max starting in January 2020. While Boeing has started to resume minimal production in
May 2020 and governmental groundings have been lifted, production is not expected to reach historic levels for the immediate
future. While resumption of some production of the 737 Max has been factored into our business plans, there is a risk that
airlines and air travelers may respond negatively to the 737 Max aircraft due to historic and continuing perceived safety
concerns. These factors may further negatively impact our Teledyne Controls’ business.

13

Increasing competition could reduce the demand for our products and services.

Each of our markets is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have, and potential competitors could have, greater

name recognition, a larger installed base of products, more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution
capabilities and greater financial, technological and personnel resources. New or existing competitors may also develop new
technologies that could adversely affect the demand for our products and services. We have been experiencing increased
competition for some of our key products. Furthermore, some of our patents have or are expiring, which could open up further
competition. For example, our U.S. patent related to our Wireless GroundLink product expired in 2018, allowing several
competitors to enter the market. Additionally, some of our customers have been developing competing products or electing to
vertically integrate and replace our products with their own. For example, Airbus is providing a wireless product, FOMAX,
which now competes directly with Teledyne Controls hardware and services. Furthermore, Boeing has announced a vertical
integration program, which includes avionics. Specifically, Boeing has expressed its intention to replace certain Teledyne
wireless products on both the 737 Max and 787 aircraft with its own wireless products. Lastly, some of our products face
increasing competition from alternative technologies. For example, the lead acid batteries that Teledyne Battery Products sells
face competition from lithium ion batteries, among other competing technologies. The hydrogen generation systems that
Teledyne Energy Systems sells also face increasing competition from new entrants to the on-site electrolysis of water market.

Industry acquisition and consolidation trends, particularly among aerospace and defense contractors, have adversely
impacted demand for our aerospace and defense related engineering services as large prime contractors elect to in-source major
acquisition programs and expand small business participation to meet Government contracting goals. Such consolidations can
also cause delays in business as the newly consolidated organization undergoes integration.

Low-cost competition from China and other developing countries could also result in decreased demand for our products.

Increasing competition could reduce the volume of our sales or the prices we may charge, which would negatively impact our
revenues. Smaller defense budgets both in the United States and Europe could result in additional competition for new and
existing defense programs.

Product liability claims, product recalls and field service actions could have a material adverse effect on our reputation,
business, results of operations and financial condition and we may have difficulty obtaining product liability and other
insurance coverage.

As a manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of products, including monitoring instruments, products used in
offshore oil and gas production, products used in transportation and commercial aviation and products used in medical devices
(including X-Ray detectors), our results of operations are susceptible to adverse publicity regarding the quality or safety of our
products. In part, product liability claims challenging the safety of our products may result in a decline in sales for a product,
which could adversely affect our results of operations. This could be the case even if the claims themselves are proven to be
untrue or settled for immaterial amounts.

While we have general liability and other insurance policies concerning product liabilities and errors and omissions, we
have self-insured retentions or deductibles under such policies with respect to a portion of these liabilities. Awarded damages
could be more than our accruals. We could incur losses above the aggregate annual policy limit as well. We cannot ensure
that, for 2021 and in future years, insurance carriers will be willing to renew coverage or provide new coverage for product
liability.

Product recalls can be expensive and tarnish our reputation and have a material adverse effect on the sales of our products.

We cannot assure that we will not have additional product liability claims or that we will not recall any products.

We have been joined, among a number of defendants (often over 100), in lawsuits alleging injury or death as a result of

exposure to asbestos. In addition, because of the prominent “Teledyne” name, we may continue to be mistakenly joined in
lawsuits involving a company or business that was not assumed by us as part of our 1999 spin-off. To date, we have not
incurred material liabilities in connection with these lawsuits. However, our historic insurance coverage, including that of our
predecessors, may not fully cover such claims and the defense of such matters. Coverage typically depends on the year of
purported exposure and other factors. Nonetheless, we intend to vigorously defend our position against these claims.

Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. and other Teledyne companies manufacture components for customers in the nuclear

power market, including utilities and certain governmental entities. Certain liabilities associated with such products are covered
by the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act and other statutory and common law defenses, and we have received
indemnities from some of our customers. However, there is no assurance we will not face product liability claims related to
such products or that our exposure will not exceed the amounts for which we have liability coverage or protection.

14

Our business and financial results could be adversely affected by conditions and other factors associated with our
suppliers, and subcontractors.

Some items we purchase for the manufacture of our products are purchased from limited or single sources of supply due
to technical capability, price and other factors. For example, Teledyne Digital Imaging has an internal single source of supply
for CCD semiconductor wafers used to assemble image sensors and an external single source of supply for CMOS
semiconductor wafers used to assemble X-ray panel products. Furthermore, sole source supply is more common among our
businesses that are heavily involved in research and development because there can be few suppliers in the world capable of
producing the products or providing the services with the right highly specialized technology. Teledyne LeCroy continues to
outsource a portion of its research and development activities to third-party engineering firms in Malaysia and India where it
may be more difficult for us to enforce our intellectual property rights. We have also outsourced from time to time the
manufacturing of certain parts, components, subsystems and even finished products to single or limited sources, including
international sources. Disruption of these sources or supplier-imposed rationing of scarce components could cause delays or
reductions in shipments of our products or increases in our costs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition
or operations. We could experience global supply chain disruptions if the COVID-19 pandemic health crisis continues and new
strains of the virus emerge. International sources possess additional risks, some of which are similar to those described above
regarding international sales. With any continuing disruption in the global economy and financial markets, some of our
suppliers may also continue to face issues gaining access to sufficient credit and materials to maintain their businesses, which
could reduce the availability of some components and, to the extent such suppliers are single source suppliers, could adversely
affect our ability to continue to manufacture and sell our products. Some companies engage subcontractors to perform a
portion of the services we provide to our customers. To provide these services, the subcontractor must be financially viable,
company with applicable laws, regulations and contract terms. Non-performance by a subcontractor could result in
misalignment between subcontractor performance and our contractual obligations to our customers. Lastly, our Teledyne Hi-
Rel business screens, tests, packages, performs various services and resells products of a third party, and faces the risk that such
third party may end its relationship due to economic conditions and other factors.

We face risks related to sales through distributors and other third parties which could harm our business.

We sell a portion of our products through third parties such as distributors, value-added resellers and OEMs (collectively,

“distributors”). Using third parties for distribution exposes Teledyne to many risks, including concentration, credit risk and
legal risk because under certain circumstances we may be held responsible for the actions of those third-party sales channels.
We may rely on one or more key distributors for a product, and the loss of these distributors could reduce our revenue.
Distributors may face financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, which could harm our collection of accounts receivables and
financial results. Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) or similar anti-bribery laws by distributors or other
third-party intermediaries could have a material impact on our business. Competitors could also block our access to key
distributors. Failing to manage risks related to our use of distributors may reduce sales, increase expenses, and weaken our
competitive position, and could result in sanctions against us.

Compliance with increasing environmental and climate change regulations, as well as the effects of potential
environmental liabilities, could have a material adverse financial effect on us.

We, like other industry participants, are subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and

regulations. We may be subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards in the future, particularly as greenhouse gas
emissions and climate change regulations and initiatives increase. Future developments, administrative actions or liabilities
relating to environmental and climate change matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
or financial condition. Environmental regulations on hydraulic fracturing and the use of seismic energy sources for offshore
energy exploration could adversely affect some product lines of our Instrumentation segment.

Our manufacturing operations, including former operations, could expose us to material environmental liabilities.
Additionally, companies that we acquire may have environmental liabilities that might not be accurately assessed or brought to
our attention at the time of the acquisition.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has focused on greenhouse gases (“GHGs”), maintaining GHGs
threaten the public health and welfare of the American people. The EPA also maintains that GHG emissions from on-road
vehicles contribute to that threat. The EPA’s endangerment finding covers emissions of six greenhouse gases. The EPA’s
continuing efforts to limit GHG emissions could adversely affect our U.S. manufacturing operations, increase prices for energy,
fuel and transportation, require us to accommodate changes in parameters, such as the way parts are manufactured, and may, in
some cases, require us to redesign certain of our products. This, or other federal or state regulations, could lead to increased
costs, which we may not be able to recover from customers, delays in product shipments and loss of market share to
competitors. For example, Teledyne Battery Products unit makes lead acid batteries in California and is subject to a variety of
environmental regulations and inspections, which have increased over time. Also, some of our sites conduct electroplating,
metal finishing and other operations that utilize hazardous materials that are subject to similar regulations. Regulatory changes
or failure to meet applicable requirements could disrupt that business or force a closure or relocation of the business.

Our products are subject to various regulations that prohibit or restrict the use of certain hazardous substances. For
example, our products placed on the European market are subject to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction
of Chemicals (“REACH”) and the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment

15

(“ROHS”) Directives. Future hazardous substance restrictions or prohibitions may limit our ability to market some products in
certain countries.

For additional discussion of environmental matters, see the discussion under the caption “Other Matters – Environmental”
of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition” and Note 14 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of our products that contribute to the environment, sustainability and
climate science, see “Item 1. Business – Environment and Sustainability.”

Our inability to attract and retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our future success.

Our future success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key
management and technical personnel and on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We also
have a maturing workforce. Some of our businesses, including our businesses in traveling wave tube and integrated microwave
module design and development, draw from a pool of specialized engineering talent that is small and currently shrinking. Some
of our businesses have a need for employees with a certain level of security clearance, and competition for such employees has
increased. While we have engaged in succession planning, the loss of the services of one or more of our key employees or our
failure to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to sell or reconfigure businesses, facilities or product lines that we determine no longer meet with
our growth strategy or that should be consolidated.

Consistent with our strategy to emphasize growth in our core markets, we continually evaluate our businesses to ensure

that they are aligned with our strategy and objectives. Over the years we have also consolidated some of our business units and
facilities, in some cases to respond to downturns in the defense or oil and gas industries, among other reasons. During 2020, we
relocated our Teledyne Paradise Datacom operation in State College, Pennsylvania to our Teledyne Microwave Solutions
facility in Rancho Cordova, California. We may not be able to realize efficiencies and cost savings from our consolidation
activities. There is no assurance that our efforts will be successful. If we do not successfully manage our current consolidation
activities, or any other similar activities that we may undertake in the future, expected efficiencies and benefits might be
delayed or not realized, and our operations and business could be disrupted. Our ability to dispose of, exit or reconfigure
businesses that may no longer be aligned with our growth strategy will depend on many factors, including the terms and
conditions of any asset purchase and sale agreement or lease agreement, as well as industry, business and economic conditions.
We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to sell non-strategic businesses on terms that are acceptable to us, or at
all. In addition, if the sale of any non-strategic business cannot be consummated or is not practical, alternative courses of
action, including relocation of product lines or closure, may not be available to us or may be more costly than anticipated.

Natural and man-made disasters could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Several of our facilities, as a result of their locations, could be subject to a catastrophic loss caused by earthquakes,
hurricanes, tornados, floods, ice storms or other natural disasters. Many of our production facilities and our headquarters are
located in California and thus are in areas with above average seismic activity and may also be at risk of damage due to
wildfire. In November 2018, wildfires impacted areas near our headquarters and principal research and development center in
Thousand Oaks, California, resulting in temporary disruptions and evacuations of employees who lived nearby. Local utilities
may impose blackouts during high fire risk weather conditions, which could result in disruptions to our businesses located in
California, including our headquarters. In the event of a major earthquake, tornado, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire,
power loss, telecommunications failure, vandalism, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack or health epidemic (including
COVID-19), we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in
our application development, lengthy interruptions in our products, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of
which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Teledyne DALSA’s semiconductor facilities in
Quebec, Canada have been impacted by loss of electrical power caused by severe ice storms. In addition, we have
manufacturing facilities in the southeastern United States and Texas that have been threatened or struck by major hurricanes. In
2017, our businesses located in Houston, Texas were impacted by Hurricane Harvey and our business in Florida was threatened
by Hurricanes Irma and Matthew. Our facilities in Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Tennessee and Virginia have also been
threatened by tornados. If any of our California facilities, including our California headquarters, were to experience a
catastrophic earthquake or wildfire loss or if any of our Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Tennessee or Texas facilities were to
experience a catastrophic hurricane, storm, tornado or other natural disaster, or if DALSA’s facilities in Quebec experience
long-term loss of electrical power, such event could disrupt our operations, delay production, shipments and revenue, and result
in large expenses to repair or replace the facility or facilities. In addition, the insurance we maintain may be insufficient to
cover our losses resulting from disasters, cyber-attacks or other business interruptions, and any incidents may result in loss of,
or increased costs of, such insurance. In addition, our existing disaster recovery and business continuity plans (including those
relating to our information technology systems) may not be fully responsive to, or minimize losses associated with, catastrophic
events.

Disasters also have an indirect adverse impact on our business. For example, in 2018, a fire at a Netherlands-based
facility of a key supplier of printed circuit boards resulted in delivery disruptions to the electronics industry, including to
businesses in our Digital Imaging segment.

16

Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. has developed, built, and launched a multiuser system for earth sensing that is affixed
to the International Space Station (“ISS”). For the program to continue to be financially successful, the 21-year-old ISS must
continue to fly in a safe and human tended condition. While certain spaceflight risks, such as a high-velocity debris impact to
the station causing significant structural damage or necessitating the evacuation of the ISS, have been regarded as small, if such
event were to occur, the ISS program continuation could be threatened, jeopardizing our investment and potential revenue
generation from ISS-based Earth imaging.

We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights, or third parties may claim we infringe their
intellectual rights, each which may harm our ability to compete and thus harm our business.

Our ability to enforce and protect our patents, copyrights, software licenses, trade secrets, know-how, and other

intellectual property rights is subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of our intellectual
property rights in various countries. When we seek to enforce our rights, we have found that various claims may be asserted
against us, including claims that our intellectual property right is invalid, is otherwise not enforceable or is licensed to the party
against whom we are asserting a claim. In addition, we may be the target of aggressive and opportunistic enforcement of
patents by third parties. If we are not ultimately successful in defending ourselves against these claims in litigation, we may not
be able to sell a product or family of products due to an injunction, or we may have to pay damages that could, in turn, harm our
results of operations. Our inability to enforce our intellectual property rights under these circumstances may harm our
competitive position and our business.

Our business and operations could suffer in the event of cyber security breaches.

Attempts by others to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems have become more sophisticated
and are sometimes successful. These attempts, which might be related to industrial or foreign government espionage, crime,
activism, or other motivations, include covertly introducing malware into our computers and computer networks, performing
reconnaissance, impersonating authorized users, extortion, and stealing, corrupting or restricting our access to data, among
other activities. We continue to train our personnel and update our infrastructure, security tools and processes to protect against
security incidents, including both external and internal threats, and to prevent their recurrence. Company personnel and third
parties have been tasked to detect, respond to, and investigate such incidents, but it is possible that we might not prevent or be
aware of or be able to react to an incident or its magnitude and effects. The theft, corruption, unauthorized use or publication of
our intellectual property or confidential business information could harm our competitive position, reduce the value of our
investment in research and development and other strategic initiatives or otherwise adversely affect our business. We are
subject to U.S. Department of Defense regulations applicable to certain types of data residing on or transiting through our
information systems, and these regulations have been and will continue to be incorporated into certain U.S. Department of
Defense contracts that we hold. To the extent that any security breach results in inappropriate disclosure of confidential or
controlled information of employees, third parties or the U.S. Government, or any of the deployed security controls are deemed
insufficient, we may incur liability or the loss of contracts or security clearances. As a result, we expect to continue to devote
additional resources to the security of our information technology systems. More resources may be required in the defense
arena to the extent the U.S. Government increases its cyber security mandates. Unauthorized access to or control of our
products, devices or systems could impact the safety of our customers and other third parties which could result in legal claims
against us. Security breaches also could result in a violation of applicable U.S. and international privacy and other laws,
including GDPR, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, and
California Consumer Privacy Act and subject us to private consumer or securities litigation and governmental investigations
and proceedings, any of which could result in our exposure to material civil or criminal liability. Lastly, we are not immune
from cyber security and privacy breaches of our customers and suppliers.

Provisions of our governing documents, applicable law, and our Change in Control Severance Agreements could make
an acquisition of Teledyne more difficult.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the

State of Delaware contain several provisions, such as our classified Board, that could make the acquisition of control of
Teledyne, in a transaction not approved by our Board, more difficult. We have also entered into Change in Control Severance
Agreements with ten members of our current management, which could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions may
prevent or discourage attempts to acquire our Company.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and
exclusive forum for certain lawsuits between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to
obtain a judicial forum that it finds favorable for such lawsuits and make it more costly for our stockholders to bring
such lawsuits, which may have the effect of discouraging such lawsuits.

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of

the State of Delaware will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or
proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors,
officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret,
apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (v) action asserting a claim

17

governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our Bylaws also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring
or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this forum selection
provision.

However, this forum selection provision is not intended to apply to any actions brought under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Securities Act"), as amended, or the Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction
over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any
duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the forum selection
provision in our Bylaws will not relieve us of our duties to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations
thereunder, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.

Nevertheless, this forum selection provision in our Bylaws may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial
forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers and other employees, which may discourage
lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of
Chancery in the State of Delaware could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not
reside in or near Delaware. While we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce the forum selection provision contained in
our Bylaws is low, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the
specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other
jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Securities

An investment in Teledyne’s Common Stock and other securities involve risks, many of which are beyond our control.

Stock markets in general, including the New York Stock Exchange on which our Common Stock is listed, have
experienced a high degree of price and volume fluctuations that are not necessarily related to operating performance of the

changes from analysts’ expectations in revenues, earnings and other financial results; (ii) strategic actions by other competitors;
(iii) changes to budgets or policies of the U.S. and other governments; and (iv) other risks described in this report. We cannot
provide assurances as to our Common Stock price, which during fiscal 2020 has ranged from a low of $195.34 to a high of
$398.99.

Item 2.

Properties

The Company has 68 principal operating facilities in 17 states and six foreign countries. The Company’s executive
offices are located in Thousand Oaks, California. Our principal research and development center is also located in Thousand
Oaks, California. The Instrumentation segment has principal operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and
Denmark, the Digital Imaging segment has principal operations in the United States, Canada, France, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom, the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment with principal operations in the United States and the United
Kingdom and the Engineered Systems segment has principal operations in the United States. We maintain our facilities in good
operating condition, and we believe they are suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are intended and overall
have sufficient capacity to conduct business as currently conducted.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we become involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings arising out of, or incident to, our

ordinary course of business including lawsuits, claims or proceedings pertaining to product liability, patent infringement,
commercial contracts, employment and employee benefits. While we cannot predict the outcome of any lawsuit, claim or
proceeding, our management does not believe that the disposition of any pending matters is likely to have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or liquidity.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and traded under the symbol “TDY”.

As of February 22, 2021, there were 2,646 holders of record of the Common Stock. Because many of our shares of

common stock are held by brokers and institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of
beneficial owners of our stock represented by these stockholders of record.

We intend to use future earnings to fund the development and growth of our businesses, including through potential

acquisitions. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase up to approximately three million

shares. No repurchases were made since 2015. Although we have no current plans to repurchase stock, up to approximately
three million shares may be repurchased under the stock repurchase program. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information about our stock repurchase program.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced

technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality
environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and
production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research. We differentiate ourselves from many of our direct competitors by
having a customer and Company-sponsored applied research center that augments our product development expertise. We
believe that technological capabilities and innovation and the ability to invest in the development of new and enhanced products
are critical to obtaining and maintaining leadership in our markets and the industries in which we compete.

Strategy/Overview

Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our core markets of instrumentation, digital imaging, aerospace and

defense electronics and engineered systems. Our core markets are characterized by high barriers to entry and include
specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. We intend to strengthen and expand our core businesses with
targeted acquisitions and through product development. We continue to focus on balanced and disciplined capital deployment
among capital expenditures, acquisitions and product development. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to
continually improve our margins and earnings by emphasizing cost containment and cost reductions in all aspects of our
business. At Teledyne, operational excellence includes the rapid integration of the businesses we acquire. Using
complementary technology across our businesses and internal research and development, we seek to create new products to
grow our company and expand our addressable markets. We continue to evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned
with our strategy.

Consistent with this strategy, we made one acquisition in 2020 and three acquisitions in 2019. See the Recent and

Pending Acquisitions section for additional information.

COVID-19 and Other Matters

We concluded 2020 with the best operating margin and cash flow in the Company’s history. With regard to the

COVID-19 pandemic, our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. Our manufacturing
sites are deemed essential businesses and remain operational, and we are practicing social distancing, enhanced cleaning
protocols, usage of personal protective equipment and other preventative measures.

While no company is immune to global economic challenges, Teledyne's business portfolio is well-balanced across end

markets and geographies, and includes a high degree of businesses serving critical infrastructure sectors such as the defense
industrial base, water and wastewater, and healthcare and public health. However, given the continuing dynamic nature of this
situation, the Company may not fully estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.

As part of a continuing effort to reduce costs and improve operating performance, as well as to respond to the impact of
COVID-19, in 2020 the Company took actions to reduce headcount by 9.8% across various businesses, reducing our exposure
to weak end markets, such as commercial aerospace. At January 3, 2021, $2.1 million remains to be paid related to these
actions.

Pending 2021 Acquisition

On January 4, 2021, the first day of our 2021 fiscal year, Teledyne and FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”) entered into a

definitive agreement under which Teledyne will acquire FLIR in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8.0
billion. Under the terms of the agreement, FLIR stockholders will receive $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of
Teledyne common stock for each FLIR share, which implies a total purchase price of $56.00 per FLIR share based on
Teledyne’s 5-day volume weighted average price as of December 31, 2020. The transaction is expected to close in the middle
of 2021 subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, approvals of Teledyne and FLIR stockholders and other
customary closing conditions.

FLIR designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes technologies that enhance perception and awareness.
FLIR provides innovative sensing solutions through thermal imaging, visible-light imaging, video analytics, measurement and
diagnostic, and advanced threat detection systems. FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of applications in
government and defense, industrial, and commercial markets. FLIR, headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, will be part of the
Digital Imaging segment.

2020 Acquisition

On January 5, 2020, we acquired OakGate Technology, Inc. (“OakGate”) for $28.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired.

Based in Loomis, California, OakGate provides software and hardware designed to test electronic data storage devices from
development through manufacturing and end-use applications. The acquired business is part of the Test and Measurement
product line within the Instrumentation segment.

2019 Acquisitions

On February 5, 2019, we acquired the scientific imaging businesses of Roper Technologies, Inc. for $224.8 million in

cash. The acquired businesses include Princeton Instruments, Photometrics and Lumenera. The acquired businesses provide a
range of imaging solutions, primarily for life sciences, academic research and customized OEM industrial imaging solutions.
Princeton Instruments and Photometrics manufacture state-of-the-art cameras, spectrographs and optics for advanced research
in physical sciences, life sciences research and spectroscopy imaging. Applications and markets include materials analysis,
quantum technology and cell biology imaging using fluorescence and chemiluminescence. Lumenera primarily provides
rugged USB-based customized cameras for markets such as traffic management, as well as life sciences applications.
Principally located in the United States and Canada, the acquired businesses are part of the Digital Imaging segment.

21

On August 1, 2019, we acquired the gas and flame detection businesses of 3M Company for $233.5 million in cash. The

gas and flame detection businesses includes Oldham, Simtronics, Gas Measurement Instruments, Detcon and select Scott Safety
products. The gas and flame detection businesses provides a portfolio of fixed and portable industrial gas and flame detection
instruments used in a variety of industries including petrochemical, power generation, oil and gas, food and beverage, mining
and waste water treatment. Principally located in France, the United Kingdom and the United States, the acquired businesses
are part of the Environmental Instrumentation product line of the Instrumentation segment.

On August 30, 2019, we acquired Micralyne Inc. (“Micralyne”) for $25.7 million in cash. Micralyne provides micro
electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) devices. In particular, Micralyne possesses unique microfluidic technology for biotech
applications, as well as capabilities in non-silicon-based MEMS (e.g. gold, polymers) often required for human body
compatibility. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the acquired business is part of the Digital Imaging segment.

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our recent acquisitions and

Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about a pending acquisition.

We reported net sales of $3,086.2 million in 2020, compared with net sales of $3,163.6 million for 2019, a decrease of
2.4%. Net income was $401.9 million ($10.62 per diluted share) in 2020, compared with net income of $402.3 million ($10.73
per diluted share) in 2019, a decrease of 0.1%.

Total year 2020 and 2019 reflected pretax charges totaling $33.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, primarily in
severance, facility consolidation, acquisition and certain changes in contract cost estimates. Net income for 2020 and 2019 also
included net discrete tax benefits of $34.6 million and $26.1 million, respectively.

Net sales

The decrease in net sales in 2020, compared with 2019, reflected lower net sales in each segment except the Engineered

Systems segment. Net sales in 2020 included $68.9 million in incremental net sales from recent acquisitions.

Sales under contracts with the U.S. Government were approximately 26% of net sales in 2020 and 24% of net sales in

2019. Sales to international customers represented approximately 45% of net sales in 2020 and 44% of net sales in 2019.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by $15.0 million in 2020, compared with 2019, which primarily reflected the impact of lower net

sales, partially offset by higher severance and facility consolidation expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for 2020
was 61.7%, compared with 60.7% for 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development expense, were lower in 2020, compared
with 2019. The decrease primarily reflected the impact of lower net sales. Corporate administrative expense in 2020 was $56.8
million, compared with $65.1 million in 2019. The lower 2020 amount primarily reflected lower compensation expense. For
2020, we recorded a total of $24.7 million in stock option expense, of which $7.2 million was recorded within corporate
expense and $17.5 million was recorded in the operating segment results. For 2019, we recorded a total of $26.1 million in
stock option expense, of which $9.7 million was recorded within corporate expense and $16.4 million was recorded in the
operating segment results. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 22.7% for 2020, compared
with 23.8% for 2019.

Pension Service Expense

Pension service expense is included in both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense. Pension service

expense in 2020 was $10.4 million compared with $9.4 million in 2019.

Operating Income

Operating income for 2020 was $480.1 million, compared with $491.7 million for 2019, a decrease of 2.4%. The
decrease in operating income primarily reflected lower operating income in the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment,
partially offset by higher operating income in our other three segments. Operating income in 2020 and 2019 included charges
of $33.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, primarily related to severance, facility consolidation and acquisition expense
and certain changes in contract cost estimates. Of these amounts, severance and facility consolidation expense totaled $20.8
million in 2020 and $3.2 million in 2019. The incremental operating income included in the results for 2020 from recent
acquisitions was $4.1 million.

Interest Expense, Interest Income, Non-Service Retirement Benefit Income and Other Expense

Interest expense, including credit facility fees and other bank charges, was $15.8 million in 2020 compared with $22.0
million in 2019 and reflected the impact of lower average debt levels in 2020. Interest income was $0.5 million in 2020 and
$1.0 million in 2019. Non-service retirement benefit income was $12.1 million in 2020, compared with $8.0 million in 2019.
Other expense was $7.2 million for 2020, compared with expense of $5.0 million in 2019 and reflected higher foreign currency
expense.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2020 was 14.4%, compared with 15.1% for 2019. For 2020 net discrete income tax
benefits were $34.6 million, which included a $20.9 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting, $9.8 million
primarily related to U.S. export sales, U.S. research credits and other items. For 2019 net discrete income tax benefits were
$26.1 million, which included a $15.4 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting, $13.1 million in income tax
benefit as a result of the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions due to expiration of statute of limitations, a favorable tax
settlement and a tax benefit related to U.S. export sales. Excluding the net discrete income tax benefits in both years, the
effective tax rates would have been 21.8% for 2020 and 20.6% for 2019.

Our Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment provides sophisticated electronic components and subsystems and

communications products, including defense electronics, harsh environment interconnects, data acquisition and
communications equipment for aircraft, and components and subsystems for wireless and satellite communications, as well as
general aviation batteries.

2020 compared with 2019

Our Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment net sales for 2020 decreased 14.6%, compared with 2019. Operating

income for 2020 decreased 43.7%, compared with 2019.

The 2020 net sales decrease reflected $94.8 million of lower sales of aerospace electronics and lower sales of $5.9 million

of defense electronics. The continued weakness in the commercial aerospace industry, due to COVID-19, has negatively
affected sales of aerospace electronics. The decrease in operating income in 2020 primarily reflected the impact of lower sales
and $18.3 million of higher severance, facility consolidation expense and certain unfavorable changes in contract cost estimates.

Cost of sales for 2020 decreased by $19.6 million, compared with 2019, and reflected the impact of lower net sales. Cost

of sales as a percentage of net sales for 2020 increased to 67.0% from 60.1% in 2019 and reflected the impact of higher
severance, facility consolidation expense and certain unfavorable changes in contract cost estimates. Selling, general and
administrative expenses, including research and development expense, decreased to $113.5 million in 2020, from $132.0
million in 2019 and reflected the impact of lower net sales, partially offset by higher severance and facility consolidation
expense. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage was 19.3% in 2020 compared to 19.1% in 2019.

2019 compared with 2018

Our Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment net sales for 2019 increased 7.8%, compared with 2018. Operating

income for 2019 increased 8.8%, compared with 2018.

The 2019 net sales increase reflected $57.9 million of higher sales of defense electronics, partially offset by $8.0 million

of lower sales of aerospace electronics. The higher sales of defense electronics reflected greater sales in most product
categories. Operating income in 2019 reflected the impact of higher net sales.

Cost of sales for 2019 increased by $28.8 million, compared with 2018, and reflected the impact of higher net sales. Cost

of sales as a percentage of net sales for 2019 decreased slightly to 60.1% from 60.3% in 2018. Selling, general and
administrative expenses, including research and development expense, increased to $132.0 million in 2019, from $122.5 million
in 2018 and reflected higher research and development expense of $10.5 million. The selling, general and administrative
expense percentage was 19.1% for both 2019 and 2018.

Our Engineered Systems segment provides innovative systems engineering and integration, advanced technology

development, and manufacturing solutions for defense, space, environmental and energy applications. This segment also
designs and manufactures electrochemical energy systems and small turbine engines.

2020 compared with 2019

Our Engineered Systems segment net sales for 2020 increased 10.9%, compared with 2019. Operating income for 2020

increased 37.3%, compared with 2019.

The 2020 sales increase reflected higher sales of $35.2 million of engineered products and services and $8.4 million of

turbine engines, partially offset by lower sales of $2.8 million of energy systems products. The higher sales of engineered
products and services primarily reflected increased sales from marine, space, nuclear and other manufacturing programs, as well
as electronic manufacturing services products, partially offset by lower sales related to missile defense. The higher sales of
turbine engines reflected increased sales for the Harpoon missile program. Operating income in 2020 reflected the impact of
higher sales and a greater mix of higher margin fixed-price manufacturing programs.

Cost of sales for 2020 increased by $25.4 million, compared with 2019, and primarily reflected the impact of higher net
sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for 2020 decreased to 81.1%, compared with 83.1% in 2019. Selling, general
and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased to $28.6 million in
2020, compared with $26.8 million in 2019. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage decreased slightly to
6.9% for 2020, compared with 7.2% in 2019.

2019 compared with 2018

Our Engineered Systems segment net sales for 2019 increased 2.8%, compared with 2018. Operating income for 2019

decreased 3.7%, compared with 2018.

The 2019 sales increase of $10.4 million reflected higher sales of $14.3 million of engineered products and services,
partially offset by lower sales of $2.6 million of energy systems products and $1.3 million of turbine engines. The higher sales
of engineered products and services primarily reflected increased sales for nuclear manufacturing and space programs.
Operating income in 2019 decreased due to product mix differences.

Cost of sales for 2019 increased by $11.7 million, compared with 2018, and primarily reflected the impact of higher net

sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for 2019 increased slightly 83.1%, compared with 82.3% in 2018. Selling,
general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased slightly to
$26.8 million in 2019, compared with $26.7 million in 2018. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage
decreased slightly to 7.2% for 2019, compared with 7.3% in 2018.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Principal Cash and Capital Requirements

Our principal cash and capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, income tax payments

and debt service requirements, as well as acquisitions. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available
borrowings under the credit facility and the debt financing arrangement described below will be sufficient to meet these
requirements and to fund the FLIR acquisition. To support acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. Our liquidity
is not dependent upon the use of off-balance sheet financial arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet financing
arrangements that incorporate the use of special purpose or unconsolidated entities.

As part of the pending acquisition of FLIR, Teledyne has arranged a $4.5 billion 364-day credit commitment to support

funding of the transaction. Teledyne expects to fund the acquisition with a combination of equity, cash on hand and permanent
debt financing, including a combination of senior notes and bank term loans.

At January 3, 2021, we had $27.7 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Our credit facility, senior notes and term loan agreement require the Company to comply with various financial and
operating covenants, including maintaining certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, as well as minimum net
worth levels and limits on acquired debt. At January 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants and we
had a significant amount of margin between required financial covenant ratios and our actual ratios. Currently, we do not
believe our ability to undertake additional debt financing, if needed, is reasonably likely to be materially impacted by debt
restrictions under our credit agreements subject to our complying with required financial covenants listed in the table below.

Financial covenant ratios and the actual ratios at January 3, 2021:

The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to EBITDA/Interest as defined in our private placement note purchase agreement and our
$750.0 million credit agreement.

31

In the event of an acquisition, our credit agreements permit us, at our option, to exceed the Consolidated Leverage Ratio

of 3.25 to 1 for up to four quarters following the fiscal quarter in which the acquisition event occurs, provided that the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.5 to 1.

Available borrowing capacity under the $750.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding

letters of credit, was $615.5 million at January 3, 2021. See Note 9, Long-Term Debt to these Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding our credit facility and term loan.

Interest expense related to the credit facility, including facility fees, is assumed to accrue at the rates in effect at year-end 2020 and is assumed to be
paid at the end of each quarter with the final payment in March 2024 when the credit facility expires.
Includes imputed interest and the short-term portion of lease obligations.
Purchase obligations generally include contractual obligations for the purchase of goods and services and capital commitments that are enforceable
and legally binding on us and that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or
variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

Unrecognized tax benefits of $32.3 million are not included in the table above because $14.7 million is offset by deferred

tax assets, and the remainder cannot be reasonably estimated to be settled in cash due to a lack of prior settlement history and
offsetting credits.

At January 3, 2021, we were not required, and accordingly are not planning, to make any cash contributions to the

domestic qualified pension plans for 2021. Our minimum funding requirements after 2020 as set forth by ERISA, are
dependent on several factors as discussed under “Accounting for Pension Plans” in the Critical Accounting Policies section of
this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Estimates beyond 2021 have not
been provided due to the significant uncertainty of these amounts, which are subject to change until the Company’s pension
assumptions can be updated at the appropriate times. In addition, certain pension contributions are eligible for future recovery
through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government under certain government contracts, therefore, future cash
contributions are not necessarily indicative of the impact these contributions may have on our liquidity. We also have payments
due under our other postretirement benefit plans. These plans are not required to be funded in advance, but are pay as you go.
See further discussion in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Teledyne intends to continue to monitor
and manage its defined benefit pension plans obligation and may take additional actions to manage risk in the future.

Operating Activities
In 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $618.9 million, compared with $482.1 million in 2019 and $446.9

million in 2018. The higher cash provided by operating activities in 2020, compared with 2019, was driven by timing of
accounts receivable collections, cash flow from recent acquisitions and $35.6 million of lower income tax payments. The
higher cash provided by operating activities in 2019, compared with 2018, was driven by higher operating income, partially
offset by $45.4 million of higher income tax payments.

Free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) was $547.5 million in 2020, compared

with $393.7 million in 2019 and $360.1 million in 2018.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $99.4 million, $571.9 million and $88.6 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. Cash flows relating to investing activities consists primarily of cash used for acquisitions and other investments
and capital expenditures.

Acquisitions

Investing activities used cash for acquisitions and other investments of $29.0 million, $484.0 million and $3.1 million, in
2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively (see “Recent Acquisitions”). Teledyne funded the acquisitions primarily from borrowings
under its credit facilities, issuance of senior notes and term loans and cash on hand. On January 5, 2020, we acquired OakGate
Technology, Inc. for $28.5 million in cash.

For all acquisitions, the results of operations and cash flows are included in our consolidated financial statements from the

date of each respective acquisition.

Financing Activities

Financing activities for 2020 reflected net payments on debt of $98.1 million, compared with net proceeds from debt of
$108.8 million in 2019 and net payments on debt of $306.5 million for 2018. Fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 reflect proceeds
from the exercise of stock options of $36.3 million, $34.6 million and $37.2 million, respectively.

Other Matters

Pension Plans

Effective January 1, 2020, Teledyne restructured its domestic qualified defined benefit pension plan. The restructuring

involved dividing our domestic qualified defined pension plan into two separate plans, one comprised primarily of inactive
participants (the “inactive plan”) and the other comprised primarily of active participants (the “active plan”). The
reorganization was made to facilitate a targeted investment strategy over time and to provide additional flexibility in evaluating
opportunities to reduce risk and volatility. Actuarial gains and losses associated with the active plan will continue to be
amortized over the average remaining service period of the active participants, which is approximately nine years, while the
actuarial gains and losses associated with the inactive plan will be amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the
inactive participants, which is approximately 17 years. These plans cover substantially all U.S. employees hired before
January 1, 2004, or approximately 10% of Teledyne’s active employees as of January 3, 2021. As of January 1, 2004, new U.S.
hires participate in a domestic defined contribution plan. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, Teledyne was not required, and did not make
any cash contributions to the domestic pension plans. For the Company’s qualified defined benefit pension plans, the discount
rate for 2021 will decrease to an average of 2.64% from 3.41% in 2020. The Company also has several small non-qualified
domestic and foreign-based defined benefit pension plans.

Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect

management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the
United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the
consolidated income tax expense.

We intend to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of our material foreign subsidiaries in our operations outside of the United

States. The cash that the Company’s foreign subsidiaries hold for indefinite reinvestment is generally used to finance foreign
operations and investments, including foreign acquisitions. We estimate that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient
to meet future domestic cash requirements. Due to the Tax Act, U.S. federal and applicable state income taxes have been
accrued for the deemed repatriation. At January 3, 2021, the amount of undistributed foreign earnings was $326.8 million, for
which we have not recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.4 million for corporate income taxes which would be
due if reinvested foreign earnings were repatriated. Should we decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, we would need to
adjust our income tax provision in the period we determined that we would no longer indefinitely reinvest the earnings outside
the United States.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported

amount in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to
recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative
evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and
results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for the results of
discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating
income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant
judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the
objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income. Based on the
Company’s history of operating earnings, expectations of future operating earnings and potential tax planning strategies,
management believes that it is possible that some portion of deferred taxes will not be realized as a future tax benefit and
therefore has recorded a valuation allowance.

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The

Company has substantially concluded on all U.S. federal income tax matters for all years through 2016, United Kingdom
income tax matters for all years through 2019, France income tax matters for all years through 2016 and Canadian income tax
matters for all years through 2012.

Costs and Pricing

Inflationary trends in recent years have been moderate. Current inventory costs, the increasing costs of equipment and

other costs are considered in establishing sales pricing policies. The Company emphasizes cost containment and cost
reductions in all aspects of its business.

34

Hedging Activities and Market Risk Disclosures

Teledyne transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign
currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary objective is to protect the United States
dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company utilizes foreign currency
forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in
Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, and in British pounds for our U.K. companies. These contracts are designated
and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company has converted U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate and fixed rate debt
obligations of a European subsidiary, into euro fixed rate obligations using a receive float, pay fixed cross currency swap, and a
received fixed pay, fixed cross currency swap. These cross currency swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, the
Company has converted domestic U.S. variable rate debt to fixed rate debt using a receive variable, pay fixed interest rate swap.
The interest rate swap is also designated as a cash flow hedge.

The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge forward contracts, the cross currency swap hedges, and the interest rate swap

cash flow hedge is assessed prospectively and retrospectively on a monthly basis using regression analysis, as well as using
other timing and probability criteria. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented
at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.
The effective portion of the cash flow hedge forward contracts’ gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these
hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) in
stockholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is reflected in our consolidated statements of income, at which time the
effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to revenue in our consolidated statements of income. For the cross currency swap and
interest rate cash flow hedges, effective amounts are recorded in AOCI, and reclassified into interest expense in the
consolidated statements of income.
In addition, for the cross currency swaps an amount is reclassified from AOCI to other
income and expense each reporting period, to offset the earnings impact of the remeasurement of the hedged liabilities. Net
deferred gains recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for forward contracts that will mature in the next 12 months total $5.4 million.
These gains are expected to be offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts
related to the cross currency swaps and interest rate swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the coming 12
months total $1.2 million.

In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur, within the

defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI to other income and
expense. During the current reporting period, all forecasted transactions occurred and, therefore, there were no such gains or
losses reclassified to other income and expense, due to missed forecasts.

As of January 3, 2021, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian
dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $127.5 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from
March 2020 to February 2021.

The cross currency swaps have notional amounts of €113.0 million and $125.0 million, and €135.0 million and $150.0
million, and mature in March 2023 and October 2024, respectively. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $125.0
million and matures in March 2023.

In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign exchange rate risk associated
with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany receivables and payables. As of
January 3, 2021, Teledyne primarily had foreign currency contracts of this type in the following currency pairs (in millions):

These contracts had a positive fair value of $5.6 million at January 3, 2021. The gains and losses on these derivatives
which are not designated as hedging instruments, are intended to, at a minimum, partially offset the transaction gains and losses
recognized in earnings.

All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. As discussed below, the accounting for gains and losses
resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge
accounting. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate portions of our foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance

that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. A
hypothetical 10 percent price change of the U.S. dollar from its value at January 3, 2021, would result in a decrease or increase

35

in the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell
U.S. dollars by approximately $12.7 million. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at
January 3, 2021 would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value of our Euro/U.S. Dollar cross currency swaps designated
as cash flow hedges by approximately $31.3 million. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in U.S. interest rates at January 3,
2021 would result in an increase in the fair value of our U.S. Dollar interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge by
approximately $2.6 million, while a 100 basis point decrease would result in a decrease in its fair value of $0.5 million.

Borrowings under our credit facility are at fixed rates that vary with the term and timing of each loan under the facility.

Loans under the facility typically have terms of one, two, three or six months and the interest rate for each such loan is subject
to change if the loan is continued or converted following the applicable maturity date. Interest rates are also subject to change
based on our debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ratio. As of January 3, 2021, we had $125.0
million outstanding under our $750.0 million credit facility. Any borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are based on
a fluctuating market interest rate and, consequently, the fair value of any outstanding debt should not be affected materially by
changes in market interest rates.

Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We

periodically evaluate these risks and have taken measures to mitigate these risks. We own assets and operate facilities in
countries that have been politically stable.

Environmental

We are subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations which require that we
investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations.
These include sites at which Teledyne has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, and comparable state laws. We are
currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites. Reserves for environmental investigation and
remediation totaled $6.5 million and $6.0 million as of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, respectively. As investigation
and remediation of these sites proceed and new information is received, the Company will adjust accruals to reflect new
information. Based on current information, we do not believe that future environmental costs, in excess of those already
accrued, will materially and adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity. See also our environmental risk factor
disclosure beginning on page 15 and Notes 2 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Government Contracts

We perform work on a number of contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies and departments of

the U.S. Government including sub-contracts with government prime contractors. Sales under these contracts with the
U.S. Government, which included contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, were approximately 26% of total net sales in
2020, 24% of total net sales in 2019 and 23% of total sales in 2018. For a summary of sales to the U.S. Government by
segment, see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense represented
approximately 19%, 17% and 17% of total net sales for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Performance under government contracts has certain inherent risks that could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing
availability of Congressional appropriations, which usually occurs on a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may
take more than one year. See also our government contracts risks factor disclosure beginning on page 11.

For information on accounts receivable from the U.S. Government, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial

Statements.

Estimates and Reserves

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial

statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates, including those related to product returns and replacements, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, intangible
assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, pension and other postretirement benefits, long-term contracts, environmental,
workers’ compensation and general liability, employee benefits and other contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the
time, the results of which form the basis for making our judgments. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions. In some cases, such differences may be material. See also Critical Accounting
Policies.

actual terms of the warranties, which are typically one year. The product warranty reserve is included in current accrued
liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and the notes to the financial statements. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results
could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are
those that are reflective of significant judgment, complexity and uncertainty, and may potentially result in materially different
results under different assumptions and conditions. We have identified the following as critical accounting policies: revenue
recognition; accounting for pension plans; accounting for business combinations, goodwill and acquired intangible assets; and
accounting for income taxes. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Approximately 40% of our revenue is recognized over time with the remaining 60% of our revenue recognized at a point

in time.

Revenue recognized over time relates primarily to contracts to design, develop and/or manufacture highly engineered
products used in both defense and commercial applications. The transaction price in these arrangements may include estimated
amounts of variable consideration, including award fees, incentive fees, contract amounts not yet funded, or other provisions
that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration at the amount to which we expect
to be entitled, and we include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the estimation uncertainty is resolved. The estimation of this variable
consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an
assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to
us. As control transfers continuously over time on these contracts, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress
towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion
requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost
measure of progress as this measure best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our
contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs
incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation.

37

For over time contracts using cost-to-cost, we have an Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which management

reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. This EAC process requires management judgment relative
to assessing risks, estimating contract revenue, determining reasonably dependable cost estimates, and making assumptions for
schedule and technical issues. Since certain contracts extend over a longer period of time, the impact of revisions in cost and
revenue estimates during the progress of work may adjust the current period earnings through a cumulative catch-up basis. This
method recognizes, in the current period, the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior quarters. Additionally, if the
current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the period that it becomes evident.
Contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly.

We do not believe that any discrete event or adjustment to an individual contract within the aggregate changes in contract

estimates for 2020, 2019 or 2018 was material to the consolidated statements of income for such annual periods.

Revenue recognized at a point in time relates primarily to the sale of standard or minimally customized products, with

control transferring to the customer generally upon the transfer of title. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional revenue recognition disclosures.

Pension Plans

The Company’s accounting for its defined benefit pension plans requires that amounts recognized in financial statements

be determined on an actuarial basis, rather than as contributions are made to the plan. In consultation with our actuaries, we
determine the appropriate assumptions for use in determining the liability for future pension benefits. Net actuarial gains or
losses are amortized to expense on a plan-by-plan basis when they exceed the accounting corridor. The accounting corridor is a
defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required and is equal to 10 percent of the greater of the
market related value of assets or benefit obligations. Gains or losses outside of the corridor are subject to amortization. For our
plan which covers mostly inactive participants, gains and losses subject to amortization are amortized over the average
participants future life expectancy which is approximately 17 years. This plan represents the majority of the pension
obligations. For our other plan, gains and losses subject to amortization are amortized over the average employee future
service period which is approximately nine years. Significant assumptions used in determining the Company’s pension income
or expense is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, participant mortality estimates, expected rates of increase in
future compensation levels, employee turnover, as well as the assumed discount rate on pension obligations.

Differences in the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on assets within the indicated range would have had

the following impact on 2020 pension expense (in millions):

Increase (decrease) to pension expense resulting from:
Change in discount rate
Change in long-term rate of return on plan assets

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The results for all acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of each
respective acquisition. Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase price to
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair
values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. We determine the fair value of
such assets and liabilities, often in consultation with third-party valuation advisors. Acquired intangible assets with finite lives
are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Adjustments to fair value assessments are recorded to goodwill over the
purchase price allocation period.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. We review goodwill and acquired
indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company also performs an annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each
year. We test goodwill and acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if events occur or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce our enterprise fair value below its book value. These events or
circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, including a significant sustained decline in an entity’s
market value, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the
business, or other factors.

We may use either a qualitative or quantitative approach when testing a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. For
selected reporting units where we use the qualitative approach, we perform a qualitative evaluation of events and circumstances
impacting the reporting unit to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Based on that qualitative evaluation, if we
determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further evaluation is

38

necessary. Otherwise we perform a quantitative impairment test. We perform a quantitative test for each reporting unit at least
once every three years.

For goodwill impairment testing using the quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of the selected
reporting units primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow model based on our best estimate of amounts and timing of
future revenues and cash flows and our most recent business and strategic plans, and compares the estimated fair value to the
carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. The discounted cash flow model requires judgmental assumptions
about projected revenue growth, future operating margins, discount rates and terminal values over a multi-year period. There
are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill
impairment. While the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of its
reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates
and assumptions, goodwill may be overstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings.

Changes in our projections used in the discounted cash flow model could affect the estimated fair value of certain of the

Company’s reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period. In order to evaluate the
sensitivity of the fair value calculations used in the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company applied a hypothetical
10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit subject to a quantitative impairment test and compared those values to the
reporting unit carrying values. Based on this sensitivity analysis, the Company did not identify any goodwill impairment. Due
to the many variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting unit’s fair value and the relative size of our recorded goodwill,
differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the results of our impairment analysis.

As of January 3, 2021, the Company had nine reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. The carrying value of
goodwill included in the Company’s individual reporting units ranged from $20.4 million to $885.0 million on the quantitative
test date. The Company’s analysis in 2020 indicated that in all instances, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units
exceeded their carrying values and consequently did not result in an impairment charge. The excess of the estimated fair value
over the carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value of the respective reporting unit) for the Company’s
reporting units subject to a quantitative test as of the fourth quarter of 2020, the annual testing date, exceeded at least 116%.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of actual future taxes to be

paid on items reflected in the financial statements. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and
determining our provision for income taxes. Uncertainty exists regarding tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns still
under examination and positions expected to be taken in the current year and future returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
arise due to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and tax carryforwards. Although we believe our income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities
are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be different from that which is reflected in our
historical income tax provisions and accruals. To the extent that the final tax outcome is different than the amounts recorded,
such differences will impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision
for income taxes includes the impact of uncertain tax benefits that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest.

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing

the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future
taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of
deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for
income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

An increase of 100 basis points in our nominal tax rate would have resulted in additional income tax provision for the

fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, of $4.7 million. For a description of the Company’s tax accounting policies, refer to Note 2
and Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Standards

Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation contains forward-looking

statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, directly and indirectly relating to earnings,
growth opportunities, acquisitions and divestitures, product sales, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option
compensation expense, the credit facility, interest expense, severance and relocation costs, environmental remediation cost,
stock repurchases, taxes, exchange rate fluctuations and strategic plans. Forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, are based on the current expectations of the management of Teledyne and are subject to uncertainty and changes
in circumstances. The forward-looking statements contained herein may include statements about the expected effects on
Teledyne of the proposed acquisition of FLIR, the anticipated timing and scope of the proposed transaction, anticipated

39

earnings enhancements, estimated cost savings and other synergies related to the proposed transaction, costs to be incurred in
achieving synergies, anticipated capital expenditures and product developments, and other strategic options. All statements
made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation 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: ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the
COVID-19 pandemic for businesses and governments around the world; the occurrence of any event, change or other
circumstances that could give rise to the right of Teledyne or FLIR or both to terminate the merger agreement; the outcome of
any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Teledyne or FLIR in connection with the merger agreement; the failure to
obtain necessary regulatory approvals (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could
adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transaction) or stockholder approvals or to satisfy any of
the other conditions to the proposed transaction on a timely basis or at all; the failure to obtain the debt portion of the financing
for the proposed transaction; the inability to complete the acquisition and integration of FLIR successfully, to retain customers
and key employees and to achieve operating synergies, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed
transaction are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the
integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where
Teledyne and FLIR do business; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than
anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing,
completion and accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; changes in relevant tax and other laws; the inability
to develop and market new competitive products; inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the
preparation of financial statements and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
related standards; operating results of FLIR being lower than anticipated; disruptions in the global economy; the spread of the
COVID-19 virus resulting in production, supply, contractual and other disruptions, including facility closures and furloughs and
travel restrictions; customer and supplier bankruptcies; 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 or changes to U.S. and foreign government spending and budget priorities triggered by the
COVID-19 pandemic; impacts from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies
of the new U.S. Presidential Administration; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs;
escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; 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 further negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. Disruptions
from the production delay of Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft and continued weakness in the commercial aerospace industry will
negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value
of the Company's 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.

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.

We continue 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 beginning on page 5 of this Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors; Cautionary
Statement as to Forward-Looking Statements.” 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. We assume
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise.

Disclosure Controls

Teledyne’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports
that it files or submits, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness, as
of January 3, 2021, of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of January 3, 2021, are
effective.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

RESPONSIBILITY FOR PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ESTABLISHING AND
MAINTAINING ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements included in this Annual Report. The financial statements

were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include
amounts that are based on the best estimates and judgments of management. The other financial information contained in this
Annual Report is consistent with the financial statements.

Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning the reliability of the financial data
used in the preparation of Teledyne financial statements, as well as to safeguard the Company’s assets from unauthorized use or
disposition.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems

determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED’S INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. We conducted

an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2021. In making
this evaluation, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Our evaluation included reviewing the
documentation of our controls, evaluating the design effectiveness of our controls and testing their operating effectiveness.
Based on this evaluation we believe that, as of January 3, 2021, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were
effective.

Deloitte and Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued its report on the effectiveness of

Teledyne’s internal control over financial reporting. Their report appears on page 46 of this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated
Thousand Oaks, California

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of January 3, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained,
in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2021, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended January 3, 2021, of the Company and our report
dated February 25, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of
Management on Teledyne Technologies Incorporated’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting
firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated
Thousand Oaks, California

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the
"Company") as of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2021, and the related
notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 3, 2021 and
December 29, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 3,
2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2021, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated February 25, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on
the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Cost Estimates for Over time Contracts

Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company recognizes revenue over time for contracts where the customer controls the work in process as evidenced either
by contractual termination clauses or by the right to payment for costs incurred to date plus a reasonable profit for products or
services that do not have an alternative use. As control transfers continuously over time on these contracts, revenue is
recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. For the year ended January 3,
2021, 40% of the Company’s revenue was recognized over time, from a combination of fixed price and cost type contracts.
While fixed price and cost type contracts both require judgment in estimating total contract costs and revenue at completion,
key inputs to the percentage of completion calculation; fixed price contracts have additional uncertainty as cost estimates may
change while estimated revenue at completion remains constant. Changes to assumptions across the Company’s portfolio of
contracts may have a significant impact on the estimated revenue and profit recorded during the period under audit.

47

We identified assumptions related to estimates and changes in estimates used to recognize revenue for overtime contracts to be
a critical audit matter in the current year. This is due to the volume of contracts over multiple product lines, the complexity of
judgments involved, and the impact that changes in these estimates can have on current period revenue and profit. Performing
audit procedures and evaluating the results of the procedures over these estimates and changes in estimates required extensive
audit effort and a high degree of auditor judgement.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to aggregated estimates or judgments for overtime revenue included the following, among others:
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over (1) management’s review of contract estimated revenue and
costs at completion and (2) management’s review of the cumulative effect of changes in estimates on contract adjustments.

We tested the accuracy and completeness of the revenue recognized on over time contracts through the following substantive
testing procedures:

Examined the cumulative effect of changes in estimates on contract adjustments:

•

•

•

Performed a retrospective review on the cumulative effect of changes in estimates on contract adjustments by
comparing current year data to historical data, including the amounts of prior period adjustments, net favorable
adjustment, and net unfavorable adjustments.
Evaluated trends and fluctuations in changes in estimates on contract adjustments for potential bias at the company
level, the segment level, and at individual business units.
Evaluated the accuracy and timing of any potential cumulative adjustments that were individually material or were
significant drivers of trends or fluctuations discussed above.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teledyne and its majority-owned subsidiaries.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year convention ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. Fiscal
year 2020 was a 53-week fiscal year and ended on January 3, 2021. Fiscal year 2019 was a 52-week fiscal year and ended on
December 29, 2019. Fiscal year 2018 was a 52-week fiscal year and ended on December 30, 2018. References to the years
2020, 2019 and 2018 are intended to refer to the respective fiscal year unless otherwise noted.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)

requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including
those related to sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, asset
valuations, income taxes, warranty obligations, pension and other postretirement benefits, long-term contracts, environmental,
workers’ compensation and general liability, employee benefits and other contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances
at the time, the results of which form the basis for making its judgments. Actual results may differ materially from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes that the estimates are reasonable.

Revenue Recognition

We determine the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the nature of the products or services
being provided as well as the terms and conditions of contracts or arrangements entered into with our customers. We account
for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are
identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. A contract’s transaction price
is allocated to each distinct good or service (i.e., performance obligation) identified in the contract, and each performance
obligation is valued based on its estimated relative standalone selling price. For standard products or services, list prices
generally represent the standalone selling price. For performance obligations where list price is not available, we typically use
the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price for that performance obligation.
Approximately 60% of our revenue is recognized at a point in time, with the remaining 40% recognized over time.

Revenue recognized at a point in time relates primarily to the sale of standard or minimally customized products, with

control transferring to the customer generally upon the transfer of title. This type of revenue arrangement is typical for our
commercial contracts within the Instrumentation, Digital Imaging, and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments, and to a
lesser extent for certain commercial contracts within the Engineered Systems segment relating to the sale of standard hydrogen/
oxygen gas generators. In limited circumstances, customer specified acceptance criteria exist. If we cannot objectively
demonstrate that the product meets those specifications prior to the shipment, the revenue is deferred until customer acceptance
is obtained. The transaction price in these arrangements can include variable consideration, such as product returns and sales
allowances. The estimation of this variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts as a
reduction in the transaction price is based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information
(historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

54

Revenue recognized over time relates primarily to contracts to design, develop and/or manufacture highly engineered

products used in both defense and commercial applications. This type of revenue arrangement is typical of our U.S.
government contracts and to a lesser extent for certain commercial contracts, with both contract types occurring across all
segments. The customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our
right to payment for costs incurred to date plus a reasonable profit for products or services that do not have an alternative use.
As control transfers continuously over time on these contracts, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards
completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires
judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of
progress as this measure best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts.
Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to
date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The transaction price in these arrangements may
include estimated amounts of variable consideration, including award fees, incentive fees, contract amounts not yet funded, or
other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration at the amount to
which we expect to be entitled, and we include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a
significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the estimation uncertainty is resolved. The estimation
of this variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based
largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is
reasonably available to us.

The majority of our over time contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual

goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. Over time
contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract
modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most
of our contract modifications on over time contracts are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due
to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that
existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance
obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a
cumulative catch-up basis.

For over time contracts using cost-to-cost, we have an Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which management

reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. This EAC process requires management judgment relative
to assessing risks, estimating contract revenue, determining reasonably dependable cost estimates, and making assumptions for
schedule and technical issues. Since certain contracts extend over a longer period of time, the impact of revisions in cost and
revenue estimates during the progress of work may adjust the current period earnings through a cumulative catch-up basis. This
method recognizes, in the current period, the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior quarters. Additionally, if the
current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the period that it becomes evident.
Contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The majority of
revenue recognized over time uses an EAC process. The net aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts
accounted for under the cost-to-cost method in 2020 was approximately $14.6 million of favorable operating income, primarily
within the Digital Imaging operating segment, related to favorable changes in estimates that impacted revenue, and, to a lesser
degree, cost of sales. The net aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost
method in 2019 was approximately $20.2 million of favorable operating income, primarily within the Digital Imaging operating
segment, related to changes in estimates that favorably impacted revenue, and, to a lesser degree, cost of sales. None of the
effects of changes in estimates on any individual contract were material to the consolidated statements of income for any period
presented.

While extended or non-customary warranties do not represent a significant portion of our revenue, we recognize warranty
services as a separate performance obligations when it is material to the contract. When extended or non-customary warranties
represents a separate performance obligation, the revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the extended warranty period.
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed

as of the period end date and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g.,
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity). As of January 3, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to
remaining performance obligations was $1,839.0 million. The Company expects approximately 77% of remaining performance
obligations to be recognized into revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining 23% recognized thereafter.

55

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling fees reimbursed by customers are classified as revenue while shipping and handling costs incurred

by Teledyne are classified as cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Product Warranty Costs

Some of the Company’s products are subject to standard warranties and the Company reserves for the estimated cost of

product warranties on a product-specific basis. Facts and circumstances related to a product warranty matter and cost estimates
to return, repair and/or replace the product are considered when establishing a product warranty reserve. The adequacy of the
preexisting warranty liabilities is assessed regularly and the reserve is adjusted as necessary based on a review of historic
warranty experience with respect to the applicable business or products, as well as the length and actual terms of the warranties,
which are typically one year. The product warranty reserve is included in current accrued liabilities and long-term liabilities on
the balance sheet.

Research and Development and Bid and Proposal Costs

Selling, general and administrative expenses include Company-funded research and development and bid and proposal

costs which are expensed as incurred and were $196.0 million in 2020, $209.6 million in 2019 and $185.6 million in 2018.

Income Taxes

We compute the provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and

liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amount in
the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our
deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence,
including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of
recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued
operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income adjusted
for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are
consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence
that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income. A valuation allowance is recorded
when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition in order to be recognized in the financial statements.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax
expense. As new information becomes available, the assessment of the recognition threshold and the measurement of the
associated tax benefit of uncertain tax positions may result in financial statement recognition or derecognition.

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed based on net income. The weighted average number of common

shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. This number of shares was
increased by contingent shares that could be issued under various compensation plans as well as by the dilutive effect of stock
options based on the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

For 2020, 239,422 stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their

inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For each of 2019 and 2018, less than 3,000 stock options were excluded in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

For 2020, 2019 and 2018, stock options to purchase 1.6 million, 2.0 million and 2.1 million shares of common stock,
respectively, had exercise prices that were less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the
respective periods and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

For 2020, 497 shares under the restricted stock plan were excluded from fully diluted shares outstanding because they did

not meet the applicable performance conditions for issuance. No contingent shares under the restricted stock plan were
excluded from fully diluted shares outstanding for 2019 or 2018. No contingent shares under the performance
share compensation plan were excluded from fully diluted shares outstanding for 2020, 2019 or 2018.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $673.1 million at January 3, 2021, of which $192.3 million was held by foreign
subsidiaries. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with maturities of three
months or less when purchased.

Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Receivables and Contract Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables

(contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities, which are included in accrued liabilities and other
long-term liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the typical payment terms of our over time contracts, the
customer pays us either performance-based payments or progress payments. Amounts billed and due from our customers are
classified as receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We may receive interim payments as work progresses, although for
some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. We recognize a liability for these interim and advance
payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as a contract liability which is included within accrued liabilities and
other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which represented $160.1 million and $14.0 million as of
January 3, 2021 and $126.8 million and $17.9 million as of December 29, 2019, respectively. Contract liabilities typically are
not considered a significant financing component because these cash advances are used to meet working capital demands that
can be higher in the early stages of a contract, and these cash advances protect us from the other party failing to adequately
complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. When revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer,
we record an unbilled receivable (contract asset) for the amount we are entitled to receive based on our enforceable right to
payment. The unbilled receivable balance increased from the beginning of the year by $21.6 million, or 10.8%, primarily due to
work performed ahead of billings on certain over time revenue contracts primarily in our Engineered Systems segment.
Contract liabilities increased from the beginning of the year by $29.4 million, or 20.3% primarily due to an increase in customer
advances in our Digital Imaging segment. The Company recognized revenue of $80.7 million during the year ended January 3,
2021 from contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of year. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining
or fulfilling a contract as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. Incremental costs to
obtain or fulfill contracts with an amortization period greater than one year were not material.

Accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12.3 million at January 3, 2021, and $10.2

million at December 29, 2019. Expense recorded for the allowance for doubtful accounts was $4.1 million, $1.3 million and
$0.6 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established for losses expected to be
incurred on accounts receivable balances. Judgment is required in the estimation of the allowance and we evaluate the
collectability of our accounts receivable and contract assets based on a combination of factors. If we become aware of a

57

customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the net receivable to the amount
reasonably believed to be collectible from the customer. For all other customers, we use an aging schedule and recognize
allowances for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of the debtor, the age and status of outstanding receivables, the
current business environment and our historical collection experience adjusted for current expectations for the customers or
industry. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when we determine amounts are
no longer collectible. Trade credit is extended based upon evaluations of each customer’s ability to perform its obligations,
which are updated periodically.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The majority of inventory values are valued on an

average cost or first-in, first-out method, while the remainder are stated at cost based on the last-in, first-out method. Costs
include direct material, direct labor, applicable manufacturing and engineering overhead, and other direct costs. Judgment is
required when establishing reserves to reduce the carrying amount of inventory to market or net realizable value. Inventory
reserves are recorded when inventory is considered to be excess or obsolete based upon an analysis of actual on-hand quantities
on a part-level basis to forecasted product demand and historical usage.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are determined using a combination of accelerated and straight-
line methods over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated
over periods not exceeding 45 years, equipment over 5 to 18 years, computer hardware and software over 3 to 7 years and
leasehold improvements over the shorter of the estimated remaining lives or lease terms. Significant improvements are
capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense on property, plant and
equipment was $76.6 million in 2020, $74.5 million in 2019 and $73.5 million in 2018.

Goodwill, Acquired Intangible Assets and Other Long-lived Assets

Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and
the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but tested at least annually for

impairment. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the
fourth quarter of each year, or more often as circumstances require. The Company uses qualitative and quantitative approaches
when testing goodwill for impairment. For selected reporting units under the qualitative approach, the Company performs a
qualitative evaluation of events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit to determine the likelihood of goodwill
impairment. Based on that qualitative evaluation, if the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further evaluation is necessary. Otherwise the Company performs a quantitative
impairment test. The Company performs quantitative tests for reporting units at least once every three years. However, for
certain reporting units the Company may perform a quantitative impairment test every year. The Company performed a
quantitative test for all reporting units in 2020.

The two-step quantitative impairment test is used to first identify potential goodwill impairment and then measure the

amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. When it is determined that an impairment has occurred, an appropriate charge to
operations is recorded. The results of our annual impairment tests of goodwill indicated that no impairment existed in 2020,
2019 or 2018.

The Company reviews intangible and other long-lived assets subject to depreciation or amortization for impairment

whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Acquired intangible
assets with finite lives are amortized and reflected in the segment’s operating income over their estimated useful lives. The
Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of assets held for use based on a review of projected undiscounted
cash flows. Impairment losses, where identified, are determined as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair
value of the long-lived asset. Recorded impairment charges to intangible or other long-lived assets were not material in 2020,
2019 or 2018.

58

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a non-qualified executive deferred compensation plan that provides supplemental retirement income
benefits for a select group of management. This plan permits eligible employees to make salary and bonus deferrals that are
100% vested. We have an unsecured obligation to pay in the future the value of the deferred compensation adjusted to reflect
the performance, whether positive or negative, of selected investment measurement options chosen by each participant during
the deferral period. As of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, $68.9 million and $63.0 million, respectively, is included in
other long-term liabilities related to these deferred compensation liabilities. Additionally, the Company purchased life
insurance policies on certain participants to potentially offset these unsecured obligations. These policies are recorded at their
cash surrender value as determined by the insurance carrier. The cash surrender value of these policies was $72.6 million and
$65.6 million, as of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, respectively, and are recorded in other non-current assets.

Environmental

Costs that mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination or extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the
safety or efficiency of property utilized in current operations are capitalized. Other costs that relate to current operations or an
existing condition caused by past operations are expensed in the period incurred. Environmental liabilities are recorded when
the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which is generally not later than the completion of
the feasibility study or the Company’s recommendation of a remedy or commitment to an appropriate plan of action. The
accruals are reviewed periodically and, as investigations and remediations proceed, adjustments are made as necessary.
Accruals for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation, and anticipated
expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The accruals are not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance
carriers or other third parties, but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal Superfund
sites or similar state-managed sites and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such
sites. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and
regulations, and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the Company’s prior experience in site
investigation and remediation, the data concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and regulatory authorities, and
the professional judgment of the Company’s environmental personnel in consultation with outside environmental specialists,
when necessary. The Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.5 million and $6.0 million as of
January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, respectively. The short term amount is included in current accrued liabilities and the
long-term amount is included in long-term accrued liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s foreign entities’ accounts are generally measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets
and liabilities of these entities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end. Revenues and expenses are translated at
average month end rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Unrealized translation gains and losses arising from
differences in exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of AOCI.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Teledyne transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign

currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary foreign currency risk objective is to
protect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company utilizes
foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue and expenses
denominated in Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, and in British pounds for our U.K. companies. These contracts
are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company has also converted a U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate debt
obligation into a euro fixed rate obligation using a receive-float, pay fixed cross currency swap. These cross currency swaps are
designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, the Company has converted domestic U.S. variable rate debt to fixed rate debt
using a receive variable, pay fixed interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is also designated as a cash flow hedge.

The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge forward contracts, is assessed prospectively and retrospectively on a monthly
basis using regression analysis, as well as using other timing and probability criteria. To receive hedge accounting treatment,
all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting
changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge contracts’ gains or losses
resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of AOCI in
stockholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is reflected in our consolidated statements of income, at which time the
effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to revenue in our consolidated statements of income. Net deferred gains recorded in
AOCI, net of tax, for forward contracts that will mature in the next 12 months total $5.4 million. These gains are expected to be
offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts related to the cross currency swaps
and interests rate swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the next 12 months total $1.2 million.

59

In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur, within the

defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI to other income and
expense. During the current reporting period, all forecasted transactions occurred and, therefore, there were no such gains or
losses reclassified to other income and expense, due to missed forecasts.

As of January 3, 2021, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian
dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $127.5 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from
March 2021 to February 2022.

The cross currency swaps have notional amounts of €113.0 million and $125.0 million, and €135.0 million and
$150.0 million, and mature in March 2023 and October 2024, respectively. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of
$125.0 million U.S. dollars and matures in March 2023.

In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments for
accounting purposes to mitigate foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and
liabilities, including intercompany receivables and payables. As of January 3, 2021, Teledyne primarily had foreign currency
contracts of this type in the following pairs (in millions):

The above table includes non-designated hedges derived from terms contained in triggered or previously designated cash

flow hedges. The gains and losses on these derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments, are intended to, at a
minimum, partially offset the transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings.

All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. As discussed below, the accounting for gains and losses
resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge
accounting. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for 2020 and 2019 was as follows (in millions):

The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other income and expense for 2020

and 2019 was a gain of $7.4 million and a gain of $4.9 million, respectively.

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market
expectations at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.
Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically
futures contracts on LIBOR and EURIBOR) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
(specifically LIBOR and EURIBOR cash and swap rates, foreign currency forward rates and cross currency basis spreads).
Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. The fair value measurement of an asset or
liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s
creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been
factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments and did not have a material impact on the fair value of

60

these derivative instruments. Both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual
terms of the instruments.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below. All fair values for these derivatives

were measured using Level 2 information as defined by the accounting standard hierarchy (in millions):

Cash payments for federal, foreign and state income taxes were $74.5 million for 2020, which are net of $8.1 million in

tax refunds. Cash payments for federal, foreign and state income taxes were $110.1 million for 2019, which are net of $7.1
million in tax refunds. Cash payments for federal, foreign and state income taxes were $64.7 million for 2018, which are net of
$7.6 million in tax refunds. Cash payments for interest and credit facility fees totaled $19.1 million, $23.4 million and $28.1
million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a
liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement
date. The Company considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as
inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. The Company uses the following three levels of inputs in
determining the fair value, focusing on the most observable inputs when available:

•

•

•

Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2-Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices
in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in
which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3-Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of
assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the
determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax
Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, to address a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(“Tax Act”) by allowing a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act
reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively
In
to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized.
the third quarter of 2018, Teledyne elected to early adopt this ASU and elected to reclassify, in the period of enactment,
stranded tax effects totaling $47.6 million from AOCI to retained earnings in its consolidated balance sheet. The reclassification
amount primarily included income tax effects related to our pension and postretirement benefit plans. Income tax effects
remaining in AOCI will be released into earnings as the related pretax amounts are reclassified to earnings.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to

Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This guidance better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting
for hedging relationships and expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components. This
guidance also simplifies and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged
item in the financial statements. We adopted the guidance as of December 31, 2018, the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year
using the modified retrospective approach, there was no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings related to hedge
ineffectiveness for the year ended December 31, 2018. Additionally, as a result of the adoption, we no longer disclose the
ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments. The entire change in the fair value of the
cash flow hedging instruments aside from components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is now recorded in
other comprehensive income and will be subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period the hedged item impacts earnings.
The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which eliminates the

computation of the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record a
goodwill impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. We adopted the this
ASU as of December 30, 2019 which reduced the complexity surrounding the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard replaces

the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and
requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial
instruments. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained
earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. We adopted this ASU as of
December 30, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach related to our accounts receivables and contract assets, resulting
in no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company spent $29.0 million, $484.0 million and $3.1 million on acquisitions and other investments, net of cash

acquired, in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

2020 Acquisition

On January 5, 2020, we acquired OakGate Technology, Inc. (“OakGate”) for $28.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired.

On August 30, 2019, we acquired Micralyne Inc. (“Micralyne”) for $25.7 million in cash. Micralyne is a foundry
providing MEMS devices. In particular, Micralyne possesses unique microfluidic technology for biotech applications, as well
as capabilities in non-silicon-based MEMS (e.g. gold, polymers) often required for human body compatibility. Based in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the acquired business is part of the Digital Imaging segment.

The results of these acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of their respective acquisition.

Pending 2021 Acquisition

See Note 15, Subsequent Events, to these Consolidated Financial Statements for information about the pending

acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”).

Other

The primary reasons for the above acquisitions were to strengthen and expand our core businesses through adding
complementary product and service offerings, allowing greater integrated products and services, enhancing our technical
capabilities or increasing our addressable markets. The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill were: (a) the
purchase price was based on cash flow and return on capital projections assuming integration with our businesses and (b) the
calculation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired that qualified for recognition. Teledyne funded the
acquisitions primarily from borrowings under its credit facilities, issuance of senior notes and term loans and cash on hand.

Teledyne’s goodwill was $2,150.0 million at January 3, 2021, and $2,050.5 million at December 29, 2019. The increase
in the balance of goodwill in 2019 resulted from recent acquisitions and the impact of exchange rate changes. Teledyne’s net
acquired intangible assets were $409.7 million at January 3, 2021, and $430.8 million at December 29, 2019. The decrease in
the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2020 primarily resulted from amortization of acquired intangible assets, partially
offset by recent acquisitions and the impact of exchange rate changes. The Company’s cost to acquire the 2020 and 2019
acquisitions has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values as of the
date of the completion of the acquisition. The differences between the fair value of the consideration paid and the estimated fair
value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The fair value of all the acquired identifiable assets
and liabilities summarized below for the 2020 acquisition is provisional pending finalization of the Company’s acquisition
accounting, including the measurement of tax basis in certain jurisdictions and the resulting deferred taxes that might arise from
book and tax basis differences, if any.

Amortizable acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from

one to 15 years. Consistent with Teledyne’s growth strategy, we seek to acquire companies in markets characterized by high
barriers to entry and that include specialized products not likely to be commoditized. Given our markets and highly engineered
nature of our products, the rates of new technology development and customer acquisition and/or attrition are often not
volatile. As such, we believe the value of acquired intangible assets decline in a linear, as opposed to an accelerated fashion,
and we believe amortization on a straight-line basis is appropriate.

The Company recorded $39.6 million, $37.4 million and $39.5 million in amortization expense in 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, for acquired intangible assets. The expected future amortization expense for the next five years is as follows (in
millions): 2021 - $39.0; 2022 - $36.2; 2023 - $32.2; 2024 - $30.4; 2025 - $24.4.

The estimated remaining useful lives by asset category as of January 3, 2021, are as follows:

The Company had $471.0 million in cash equivalents at January 3, 2021 and no cash equivalents at December 29, 2019.

The Company has categorized its cash equivalents as a Level 1 financial asset, measured at fair value based on quoted prices in
active markets of identical assets. The fair value of the Company’s forward currency contracts as of January 3, 2021 and
December 29, 2019, are disclosed in Note 2, under “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements and are based on Level 2 inputs. Teledyne estimates the fair value of its long-term debt
based on debt of similar type, rating and maturity and at comparable interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s senior
unsecured notes as described in Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements approximated
the carrying value based upon Level 2 inputs and is valued based on observable market data at January 3, 2021 and
December 29, 2019. The fair value of the Company’s credit facility, term loans and other debt, also described in Note 9, at
January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, approximated the carrying value due to the variable market rate used to calculate
interest payments. The Company does not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair
value. The carrying value of other on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximates fair value, and the cost, if any, to
terminate off-balance sheet financial instruments (primarily letters of credit) is not significant.

Shares issued include stock options exercised as well as shares issued under certain compensation plans.

Treasury Stock

In January 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to

repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock. The number of shares that we may repurchase will depend on a variety
of factors, such as share price, levels of cash and borrowing capacity available, alternative investment opportunities available
immediately or longer-term, and other regulatory, market or economic conditions. Although we have no current plans to
repurchase stock, future repurchases, if any, are expected to be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s
credit facility. No repurchases were made since 2015. Up to approximately three million shares may be repurchased under the
stock repurchase program.

66

Preferred Stock

Authorized preferred stock may be issued with designations, powers and preferences designated by the Board of

Directors. There were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding in 2020, 2019 or 2018.

Stock Incentive Plan

Teledyne has long-term incentive plans which provide its Board of Directors the flexibility to grant restricted stock,
restricted stock units, performance shares, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights to
officers and employees of Teledyne. Employee stock options become exercisable in one-third increments on the first, second
and third anniversary of the grant and have a maximum 10-year life.

Stock Options

Stock option compensation expense is recorded on a straight line basis over the appropriate vesting period, generally three
years except for stock options that were granted after 2018 to Teledyne’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Teledyne’s
Executive Chairman, which were expensed immediately. The Company recorded $24.7 million, $26.1 million, and $19.8
million for stock option expense, for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company issues shares of common stock upon
the exercise of stock options.

The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during 2020 and 2019 (which is the amount by which the stock price

exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) was $96.9 million and $82.5 million, respectively. At
January 3, 2021, the intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was $403.6 million and the intrinsic value of stock options
exercisable was $339.8 million. During 2020 and 2019, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was
$36.3 million and $34.6 million, respectively.

At January 3, 2021, there was $24.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option

awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

The fair value of stock options is determined by using a lattice-based option pricing model. The Company uses a

combination of its historical stock price volatility and the volatility of exchange traded options, if any, on the Company stock to
compute the expected volatility for purposes of valuing stock options granted. The period used for the historical stock price
corresponded to the expected term of the options. The period used for the exchange traded options, if any, included the longest-
dated options publicly available, generally three months. The expected dividend yield is based on Teledyne’s practice of not
paying dividends. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips with terms equal to the expected life
of the options as of the grant date. The expected life in years is based on historical actual stock option exercise experience.

Teledyne’s Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) provides grants of performance share units, which key officers and

executives may earn if Teledyne meets specified performance objectives over a three-year period. Awards are payable in cash
and to the extent available, shares of Teledyne common stock. Awards are generally paid to the participants in three annual
installments after the end of the performance cycle so long as they remain employed by Teledyne (with an exception for
retirement). Participants in the PSP program can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of awarded shares to pay income taxes
due with respect to an installment payment. The cash payment in lieu of awarded shares is based on the then current market
value of Teledyne stock.

Under the 2015 to 2017 plan, and based on actual performance, the Company issued 7,673, 8,586 and 6,481 shares of

Teledyne common stock in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In February 2018, the performance cycle for the three-year period ending December 31, 2020, was set. Under the plan,

and based on actual performance, the maximum number of shares that could be issued in three equal installments in 2021, 2022
and 2023, is 51,630.

The estimated expense for each plan year was based on the expected cash payout and the expected shares to be issued,
valued at the share price at the inception of the performance cycle, except for the shares that can be issued based on a market
comparison. The estimated expense for these shares was calculated using a lattice-based simulation which takes into
consideration several factors including volatility, risk free interest rates and correlation of Teledyne’s stock price with the
comparator, the Russell 1000 Index (for the 2015-2017 performance cycle, the comparator was the Russell 2000). No
adjustment to the calculated expense for the shares issued based on a market based comparison will be made regardless of the
actual performance. The Company recorded $6.2 million, $7.5 million and $5.1 million in compensation expense related to the
PSP program for fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Under Teledyne’s restricted stock award program key officers and executives receive a grant of stock equal to a specified

percentage of the participant’s annual base salary at the date of grant. The restricted stock is subject to transfer and forfeiture
restrictions during an applicable “restricted period”. The restrictions have both time-based and performance-based components.
The restricted period expires (and the restrictions lapse) on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement
of stated performance objectives over a specified three-year performance period. If employment is terminated (other than by
death, retirement or disability) during the restricted period, the stock grant is forfeited.

The estimated expense for restricted stock awards to employees is based on a lattice-based simulation which takes into
consideration several factors including volatility, risk free interest rates and the correlation of Teledyne’s stock price with the
comparator, the Russell 1000 Index (for awards granted prior to 2018 the comparator was the Russell 2000). No adjustment to
the estimated expense will be made regardless of actual performance. The Company recorded $3.3 million, $3.0 million and
$2.7 million in compensation expense related to restricted stock awards to employees, for fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. At January 3, 2021, there was $3.6 million of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to non-
vested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.

In December 2016, Teledyne granted 16,045 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $2.0 million to

Teledyne’s then Chief Executive Officer, which vested in equal annual installments over three years. The calculated expense of
$2.0 million was expensed evenly over the three years performance period. In 2019, 2018 and 2017 we issued 2,697, 2,697 and
2,389 shares, respectively, which were net of shares withheld to pay income taxes.

Non-employee directors each receive restricted stock units valued at $110,000 (or valued at $55,000 for a person who
becomes a director for the first time after the date of the Annual Meeting). The restricted stock units generally vest one year
following the date of grant and are settled in shares of common stock on the date of vesting unless a director has elected to defer
settlement of the award until his or her separation from Board service. The annual expense related to non-employee director’s
restricted stock units was approximately $1.0 million for each of 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The Company has no sinking fund requirements.
Teledyne's $750.0 million credit agreement has a maturity date to March 2024. The credit agreement permits Teledyne to

increase the aggregate amount of the borrowing capacity by up to $250.0 million subject to certain conditions. Excluding
interest and fees, no payments are due under the $750.0 million unsecured credit facility (“credit facility”) until it matures.
Borrowings under our credit facility and term loans are at variable rates which are, at our option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate
equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable rate or a base rate as defined in our credit agreements.
Eurocurrency rate loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars or an alternative currency as defined in the agreement.
Eurocurrency or LIBOR based loans under the facility typically have terms of one, two, three or six months and the interest rate
for each such loan is subject to change if the loan is continued or converted following the applicable maturity date. The
Company has not drawn any loans with a term longer than three months under the credit facility. Base rate loans have interest
rates that primarily fluctuate with changes in the prime rate. Interest rates are also subject to change based on our consolidated
leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The credit facility also provides for facility fees that vary between 0.12% and
0.25% of the credit line, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio as calculated from time to time. Available borrowing
capacity under the credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $615.5 million at
January 3, 2021. The credit agreement and term loans requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating
covenants and at January 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. At January 3, 2021, Teledyne had
$27.7 million in outstanding letters of credit.

As part of the pending FLIR acquisition, Teledyne has arranged a $4.5 billion 364-day credit commitment to fund the

transaction and refinance certain existing debt. See also Note 15, Subsequent Events, to these Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding the funding of the pending acquisition of FLIR.

Total interest expense including credit facility fees and other bank charges was $15.8 million in 2020, $22.0 million in

2019 and $29.2 million in 2018.

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for financial and
income tax reporting purposes, and differences between the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations accounted for
as purchases for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred income taxes represent future tax
benefits or costs to be recognized when those temporary differences reverse.

The categories of assets and liabilities that have resulted in differences in the timing of the recognition of income and

expense were as follows (in millions):

Deferred income tax assets:

We intend to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of our material foreign subsidiaries in our operations outside of the United

States. The cash that the Company’s foreign subsidiaries hold for indefinite reinvestment is generally used to finance foreign
operations and investments, including acquisitions. We estimate that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet
future domestic cash requirements. Due to the Tax Act, U.S. federal and applicable state income taxes have been accrued for
the deemed repatriation. At January 3, 2021, the amount of undistributed foreign earnings was $326.8 million, for which we
have not recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.4 million for corporate income taxes which would be due if
reinvested foreign earnings were repatriated. Should we decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, we would need to adjust our
income tax provision in the period we determined that we would no longer indefinitely reinvest the earnings outside the United
States.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including recent financial

performance, scheduled reversals of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, availability of taxable income in
carryback periods and tax planning strategies. Based on a review of such information, management believes that it is possible
that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized as a future benefit and therefore has recorded a valuation allowance.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $6.8 million in 2020, primarily related to deferred tax assets for
which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized by the reporting entity.

At January 3, 2021, the Company had approximately $71.5 million of net operating loss carryforward primarily from the

Company’s entities in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Norway, all of which have no expiration date. The Company had
foreign capital loss carryforward in the amount of $2.2 million which has no expiration date. Also the Company had aggregate
Canadian federal and provincial investment tax credits of $16.3 million, which have expiration dates of 2030 to 2040. In
addition, the Company had domestic federal and state net operating loss carryforward of $19.6 million and $113.2 million,
respectively. Generally, federal net operating loss carryforward amounts are limited in their use by earnings of certain acquired
subsidiaries, and have no expiration date and the state net operating loss carryforward amounts have expiration dates ranging
from 2021 to 2040. Finally, the Company had federal research and development credit carryforward in the amount of $0.5
million which will expire between 2032 and 2035 and state tax credits of $11.7 million, of which $11.3 million have no
expiration date and $0.4 million have expiration dates ranging from 2023 to 2040.

The Company anticipates the total unrecognized tax benefit for various federal, state and foreign tax items may be
reduced by $2.8 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation for various federal, state and foreign tax issues in the next
12 months.

We recognized net tax benefits and expense for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the
provision for income taxes in our statements of operations of $0.1 million of expense, $0.3 million of benefit and $0.3 million
of expense, for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest and penalties in the amount of $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $1.7
million were recognized in the 2020, 2019 and 2018 statement of financial position, respectively. Substantially all of the
unrecognized tax benefits as of January 3, 2021, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate.

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The

Company has substantially concluded on all U.S. federal income tax matters for all years through 2016, United Kingdom
income tax matters for all years through 2019, France income tax matters for all years through 2016 and Canadian income tax
matters for all years through 2012.

Note 11. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits

Pension Plans

Effective January 1, 2020, Teledyne restructured its domestic qualified defined benefit pension plan. The restructuring

involved dividing our domestic qualified defined pension plan into two separate plans, one comprised primarily of inactive
participants (the “inactive plan”) and the other comprised primarily of active participants (the “active plan”). The
reorganization was made to facilitate a targeted investment strategy over time and to provide additional flexibility in evaluating
opportunities to reduce risk and volatility. Actuarial gains and losses associated with the active plan will continue to be
amortized over the average remaining service period of the active participants, which is approximately nine years, while the
actuarial gains and losses associated with the inactive plan will be amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the
inactive participants which is approximately 17 years.

These plans cover substantially all U.S. employees hired before January 1, 2004, or approximately 10% of Teledyne’s
active employees. As of January 1, 2004, new hires participate in a defined contribution plan only. The Company also has
several small domestic non-qualified and foreign-based defined benefit pension plans.

In 2018, the Company’s U.S. domestic qualified pension plan purchased group annuity contracts from insurance
companies and paid a total annuity premium of $17.8 million. These annuity contracts transfer the obligation to the insurance
companies to guarantee the full payment of all annuity payments to existing retired pension plan participants or their surviving
beneficiaries. These annuity contracts assume all investment risk associated with the assets that were delivered as the annuity
contract premiums. These annuity contracts covered 321 existing retired pension plan participants for 2018, at the time of
purchase. No annuity contracts were purchased in 2020 or 2019.

The domestic qualified pension plans allow participants to elect a lump-sum payment at retirement. In 2020, 2019 and

2018, the Company made lump sum payments of $24.9 million, $17.2 million and $18.6 million, respectively, from the
domestic qualified pension plan assets to certain participants in the plan. Each year beginning with 2014, the Society of
Actuaries released revised mortality tables, which updated life expectancy assumptions. In consideration of these tables, each
year the Company reviews the mortality assumptions used in determining our pension and post-retirement obligations.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is reviewed annually, taking into consideration the Company’s asset
allocation, historical returns on the types of assets held, the current economic environment, and prospective expectations. We
determined the discount rate based on a model which matches the timing and amount of expected benefit payments to maturities
of high-quality corporate bonds priced as of the pension plan measurement date. The yields on the bonds are used to derive a
discount rate for the obligation.

The following assumptions were used to measure the net benefit income/cost within each respective year for the domestic

qualified plans and the foreign plans:

At year-end 2020 and 2019 the Company had an accumulated non-cash reduction to stockholders’ equity of $347.8
million and $323.1 million, respectively, related to its pension and postretirement plans. The accumulated non-cash reductions
to stockholders’ equity did not affect net income and were recorded net of accumulated deferred taxes of $110.5 million at year
end 2020 and $102.5 million at year end 2019.

At January 3, 2021, the estimated amounts of the minimum liability adjustment that are expected to be recognized as
components of net periodic benefit cost during 2021 for the pension plans are: net loss $26.7 million and net prior service credit
$3.5 million.

The Company has an active management policy for the pension assets in the qualified domestic pension plan. As of

January 3, 2021, the long term asset allocation target for the domestic plan consists of approximately 38% in equity
instruments, approximately 51% in fixed income instruments and approximately 11% in alternatives.

The pension plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Plan investments that are considered a level 1 fair value hierarchy
and are valued at quoted market prices in active markets. Plan investments that are considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy and
are valued based on observable market data. Plan investments that would be considered a level 3 fair value hierarchy are
valued based on management’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability (including assumptions about risk).

Certain investments measured at fair value using net asset values as a practical expedient are not required to be
categorized in the fair value hierarchy table listed below. As such, the total fair value of these net asset values based
investments has been included in the table below to permit reconciliation to the plan asset amounts previously disclosed.

(c) The mutual funds are invested in equity securities.

U.S. equities are valued at the closing price reported in an active market on which the individual securities are traded.

U.S. equities and non-U.S. equities are also valued at the net asset value provided by the independent administrator or custodian
of the commingled fund. The net asset value is based on the value of the underlying equities, which are traded on an active
market. Corporate bonds are valued using inputs such as the closing price reported, if traded on an active market, values
derived from comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes
observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments. Fixed income investments are also valued at the net asset value
provided by the independent administrator or custodian of the fund. The net asset value is based on the underlying assets,
which are valued using inputs such as the closing price reported, if traded on an active market, values derived from comparable
securities of issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes observable inputs, such as
current yields of similar instruments. Alternative investments are primarily valued at the net asset value as determined by the
independent administrator or custodian of the fund. The net asset value is based on the underlying investments, which are
valued using inputs such as quoted market prices of identical instruments or values derived from comparable securities of
issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes observable inputs, such as current
yields of similar instruments.

The Company’s contributions associated with its 401(k) plans were $13.8 million, $13.4 million and $11.9 million, for

2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Postretirement Plans

The Company sponsors several postretirement defined benefit plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees.
The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retirees. No service cost was incurred for these
plans in 2020, 2019 or 2018.

At January 3, 2021, the amount in AOCI that has not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit income

for the retiree medical plans is a net gain $0.9 million and no net prior service credit. At January 3, 2021, the estimated
amortization from AOCI expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit income during 2021 for the retiree
medical plans is a net gain of $0.1 million and no net prior service cost.

The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the health care cost trend rate) for health

care plans is 6.25% in 2021 and was assumed to decrease to 5.0% by the year 2027 and remain at that level thereafter.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one
percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates would result in an increase in the annual service and
interest costs by less than $0.1 million for 2020 and would result in an increase in the postretirement benefit obligation by $0.2
million at January 3, 2021. A one percentage point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates would result in a
decrease in the annual service and interest costs by less than $0.1 million for 2020 and would result in a decrease in the
postretirement benefit obligation by $0.2 million at January 3, 2021.

Note 12. Business Segments

The Company has four reportable segments: Instrumentation; Digital Imaging; Aerospace and Defense Electronics; and

Engineered Systems. The Company manages, evaluates and aggregates its operating segments for segment reporting purposes
primarily on the basis of product and service type, production process, distribution methods, type of customer, management
organization, sales growth potential and long-term profitability. The Instrumentation segment provides monitoring and control
instruments for marine, environmental, industrial and other applications, electronic test and measurement equipment and harsh
environment interconnect products. The Digital Imaging segment includes high-performance sensors, cameras and systems,
within the visible, infrared and X-ray spectra, for use in industrial, government and medical applications, as well as micro
electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”) and high-performance, high-reliability semiconductors including analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog converters. It also includes our sponsored and centralized research laboratories benefiting government
programs and businesses. The Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment provides sophisticated electronic components and
subsystems and communications products, including defense electronics, harsh environment interconnects, data acquisition and
communications equipment for aircraft and components and subsystems for wireless and satellite communications, as well as
general aviation batteries. The Engineered Systems segment provides innovative systems engineering and integration,
advanced technology application, software development and manufacturing solutions for defense, space, environmental and
energy applications. The Engineered Systems segment also designs and manufactures electrochemical energy systems and
small turbine engines.

78

Segment results include net sales and operating income by segment but excludes noncontrolling interest, equity income or
loss, unusual non-recurring legal matter settlements, interest income and expense, gains and losses on the disposition of assets,
sublease rental income and non-revenue licensing and royalty income, domestic and foreign income taxes and corporate office
expenses. Corporate expense includes various administrative expenses relating to the corporate office and certain nonoperating
expenses not allocated to our segments.

As part of a continuing effort to reduce costs and improve operating performance, as well as to respond to the impact of

COVID-19, in 2020, the Company took actions to reduce headcount by 9.8% across various businesses, reducing our exposure
to weak end markets, such as commercial aerospace. At January 3, 2021, $2.1 million remains to be paid related to these
actions.

Note 13. Lease Commitments
Lease Commitments

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use assets, other long-
term lease liabilities and current accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property
and equipment, current accrued liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities
represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and use an implicit rate
when readily available. Since most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the incremental borrowing rate to
determine the present value of lease payments. The rate will take into consideration the underlying asset’s economic
environment, including the length of the lease term and currency that the lease is payable in. Our lease agreements may include
options to extend the lease term at either a fixed cost, fixed increase or market value adjustment. We evaluate the likelihood of
exercising each renewal option based on many factors, including the length of the renewal option and the future new lease cost,
if known, or the estimated future new lease cost if it is not a fixed amount and will include those renewal options that are
reasonably certain to be exercised for purposes of calculating the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. Lease
expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating Leases

Teledyne has approximately 115 long-term operating lease agreements for manufacturing facilities and office space.

These agreements frequently include one or more renewal options and may require the Company to pay for non-lease
components such as utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance expense. We account for lease and non-lease components as a
single lease component when the payments are fixed. Variable payments included in the lease agreement are expensed as
incurred. No lease agreement imposes a restriction on the Company’s ability to engage in financing transactions or enter into
further lease agreements. At January 3, 2021, Teledyne has right-of-use assets of $123.4 million included in other long-term
other assets on the balance sheet.

At January 3, 2021, future minimum lease payments for operating leases with non-cancelable terms of more than one year

were as follows (in millions):

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases is approximately 9 years and the weighted average
discount rate is approximately 4.00% Rental expense under operating leases, including leases with a term of 12 months or less,
net of immaterial sublease income, was $29.4 million in 2020, $26.5 million in 2019 and $30.7 million in 2018. Cash paid for
amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $27.8 million for 2020 and $24.7 million for 2019.

Finance Leases and Subleases

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and
remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at
which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable
state laws.

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy disclosed in Note 2, environmental liabilities are recorded when the
Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, investigations are not yet at a
stage where the Company has been able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the
loss or range of loss, or certain components thereof. Estimates of the Company’s liability are further subject to uncertainties
regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation
standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and estimates of appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, the extent
of corrective actions that may be required, and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as
well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. Accordingly, as investigation and remediation of these sites
proceeds, it is likely that adjustments in the Company’s accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of
any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a given period, but the
amounts, and the possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently
available information, however, management does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with
respect to sites with which the Company has been identified are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial condition or liquidity.

82

At January 3, 2021, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.5 million, of which $1.5

million is included in current accrued liabilities with the remainder included in long-term accrued liabilities. The Company
periodically evaluates whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance
carriers and from third parties. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the
nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the
complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend
present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to thirty
years.

Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) may be asserted

against the Company related to its U.S. Government contract work, including claims based on business practices and cost
classifications and actions under the False Claims Act. Although such claims are generally resolved by detailed fact-finding
and negotiation, on those occasions when they are not so resolved, civil or criminal legal or administrative proceedings may
ensue. Depending on the circumstances and the outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and
treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under
government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from
government contracts based on the results of investigations. However, although the outcome of these matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, management does not believe there is any audit, review or investigation currently pending against the
Company of which management is aware that is likely to result in suspension or debarment of the Company, or that is otherwise
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any
reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for
that period.

A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those

pertaining to product liability, acquisitions, patent infringement, commercial contracts, employment and employee benefits.
While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be
determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely
to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

On January 4, 2021, the first day of the 2021 fiscal year, Teledyne and FLIR entered into a definitive agreement under

which Teledyne will acquire FLIR in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8.0 billion. Under the terms of the
agreement, FLIR stockholders will receive $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of Teledyne common stock for each
FLIR share, which implies a total purchase price of $56.00 per FLIR share based on Teledyne’s 5-day volume weighted
average price as of December 31, 2020. The transaction is expected to close in the middle of 2021 subject to the receipt of
required regulatory approvals, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act, approvals of Teledyne and FLIR stockholders and other customary closing conditions.

FLIR Systems, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes technologies that enhance perception and

awareness. FLIR provides innovative sensing solutions through thermal imaging, visible-light imaging, video analytics,
measurement and diagnostic, and advanced threat detection systems. FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of
applications in government and defense, industrial, and commercial markets. FLIR, headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, will
be part of the Digital Imaging segment.

As part of the pending acquisition of FLIR, Teledyne has arranged a $4.5 billion 364-day credit commitment to support

funding of the transaction. Teledyne expects to fund the acquisition with a combination of equity, cash on hand and permanent
debt financing, including a combination of senior notes and bank term loans.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward
Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to management’s
beliefs about the financial condition, results of operations and businesses 
of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne”) in the future. Forward-
looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, are based on the current 
expectations of the management of Teledyne and are subject to uncertainty
and changes in circumstances. The forward-looking statements contained 
herein may include statements about the expected effects on Teledyne 
of the proposed acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”), the anticipated
timing  and  scope  of  the  proposed  transaction,  anticipated  earnings 
enhancements, estimated cost savings and other synergies related to the 
proposed transaction, costs to be incurred in achieving synergies, anticipated
capital expenditures and product developments, and other strategic options.
Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such 
as “projects”, “intends”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “targets”, “estimates”, “will”
and words of similar import that convey the uncertainty of future events or 
outcomes. All statements made in this communication that are not historical
in nature should be considered forward-looking. By its nature, forward-
looking information is not a guarantee of future performance or results and 
involves risks and uncertainties because it relates to events and depends 
on circumstances that will occur in the future. Actual results could differ 
materially from these forward-looking statements.

Many factors could change anticipated results, including ongoing challenges
and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic for businesses and 
governments around the world; the occurrence of any event, change or other
circumstances that could give rise to the right of Teledyne or FLIR or both to 
terminate the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that 
may be instituted against Teledyne or FLIR in connection with the Merger 
Agreement; the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals (and the risk
that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could
adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the
transaction) or stockholder approvals or to satisfy any of the other conditions 
to the proposed transaction on a timely basis or at all; the failure to obtain 
the debt portion of the financing for the proposed transaction; the inability
to complete the acquisition and integration of FLIR successfully, to retain 
customers and key employees and to achieve operating synergies, including
the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction are
not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact 
of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a
result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas 
where Teledyne and FLIR do business; the possibility that the proposed 
transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including 
as a result of unexpected factors or events; the parties’ ability to meet
expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax 
treatments of the proposed transaction; changes in relevant tax and other
laws; the inability to develop and market new competitive products; inherent
uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation
of financial statements and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in
accordance with United States GAAP and related standards; operating results 
of FLIR being lower than anticipated; disruptions in the global economy; the
spread of the COVID-19 virus resulting in production, supply, contractual 
and other disruptions, including facility closures and furloughs and travel
restrictions; customer and supplier bankruptcies; 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 or changes to United States and foreign government 
spending and budget priorities triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic; impacts
from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; uncertainties
related to the policies of the new United States Presidential Administration; 
the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and
tariffs; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the
United States; 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 further negatively affect our businesses
that supply the oil and gas industry. Disruptions from the production delay 
of Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft and continued weakness in the commercial
aerospace industry will negatively affect the markets of our commercial 
aviation businesses. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value
of the company’s pension assets.

Changes in the policies of United States 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.

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 United States and foreign
government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fluctuations.

Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those 
described above can be found in Teledyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended January 3, 2021, which is on file with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available in the “Investors” section of 
Teledyne’s website, teledyne.com, under the heading “Investor Information” 
and in other documents Teledyne files with the SEC, and in FLIR’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is on file 
with the SEC and available on the “Investor Relations” page of FLIR’s website,
flir.com, under the heading “Filings and Financials” and in other documents
FLIR files with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and
are based on information available at that time. Neither Teledyne nor FLIR
assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect 
circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking 
statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events 
except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements 
involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against 
placing undue reliance on such statements.

Additional Information and Where to Find It 
In connection with the proposed transaction between Teledyne and FLIR, 
Teledyne will file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that

consideration. Stockholders of Teledyne and stockholders of FLIR are 
urged to read the registration statement and the joint proxy statement/

otherwise, will be contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus and

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to sell or an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any
