TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES | 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
2021 was a defining year for Teledyne
with the successful acquisition
and integration of Teledyne FLIR, accompanied
by record sales, cash flow and adjusted earnings
and operating margin.
Total sales increased 49.5% to over $4.6 billion,
with organic growth of 8.2% plus the contribution
from Teledyne FLIR. Cash from operations of
$824.6 million increased 33.2% compared
with 2020. Full year adjusted operating margin
increased approximately 450 basis points to
21.3%, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share
increased 47.8% to $16.86 per share.
Teledyne has now further evolved into a
global sensing and decision-support technology
company: providing specialty sensors, cameras,
instrumentation, algorithms and software
across the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as
unmanned systems in the subsea, land and air
domains. I have never been more pleased with
our portfolio of businesses. In its most simple
description: A high-technology commercial
industrial business — balanced across multiple
end-markets — with a resilient, predictable
portion of long-cycle government business.
Concurrent with this Annual Report, we
published our inaugural Corporate Social
Responsibility (or CSR) Report. In the CSR Report
we highlight our products related to sustainability
and our Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) initiatives, as well as disclose additional

In 2021 we compiled the first global inventory
of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions and are developing a GHG monitoring
and management plan. We have set a goal to
reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined
emissions in company operations, normalized
for revenue, by 40% from 2020 levels by the end
of fiscal year 2040.

Finally, in connection with the FLIR acquisition,
Teledyne accessed the debt capital markets for
the first time in 2021, and we achieved investment-
grade credit ratings from all three principal
rating agencies. Despite the leverage incurred
from the acquisition, we exited the year with a
leverage ratio of just 2.9x given our strong cash
flow. As we further reduce leverage, we are now
seeking additional acquisitions to continue our
consistent growth in earnings and cash flow.
We thank our employees for generating
our success, our Board of Directors for their
guidance and oversight, and our stockholders
for their loyalty and trust in Teledyne.
Kind regards,

Teledyne’s sustainability journey began more
than 20 years ago with the belief that demand
for environmental monitoring instruments would
outgrow general industrial process instrumentation.
Our first three acquisitions were Advanced
Pollution Instrumentation, Monitor Labs and
Tekmar, three companies dedicated to analyzing
trace contaminants in air and water. Following
more than 60 other acquisitions and two decades
of focused research and development efforts,
Teledyne’s global impact to sustainability is
significant and consequential. Today, our imaging
sensors enable greenhouse gas and pollution
monitoring from space and our instruments
provide data on the concentration of chemicals
and particulates in ambient air.
The ocean covers over 70% of the Earth’s
surface, holds 97% of its water, produces more
than half the world’s oxygen, and stores 50 times
more carbon dioxide than Earth’s atmosphere.
Changes in the ocean affect weather patterns,
climate, and food security. Our autonomous

EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However,
management believes that, in order to more fully understand our
short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, and to
aid in comparability with our competitors, investors and financial
analysts may wish to consider the impact of certain items resulting
from our acquisitions which have an infrequent or non-recurring
impact on operations or assist in understanding our operations
pre-acquisition. Accordingly, we present non-GAAP financial
measures as a supplement to the financial measures we present
in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures
provide management, investors and financial analysts with additional
means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends
in our ongoing business by adjusting for certain expenses and other
items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures
also provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period
operating performance. In addition, management understands that
some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in
analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing
this performance to our peers and competitors.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered
superior to, or a substitute for, our financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated
with non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges
that have an effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not
be relied upon as the sole financial measures by which to evaluate
our financial results. Management compensates and believes that
investors should compensate for these limitations by viewing
the non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the GAAP
financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures
included in this earnings announcement may be different from,
TELEDYNE .COM
9
and director stock awards, as well as other employee severance
amounts. We exclude these costs from our non-GAAP measures
because we believe it does not reflect our ongoing financial
performance.
• FLIR and e2v inventory step-up expense — The purchase
accounting entries associated with our acquisitions of FLIR
and e2v require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is
sometimes greater than the previous book value of inventory.
Included in our GAAP presentation, the increase in inventory
value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related
inventory is sold. We exclude inventory step-up amortization from
our non-GAAP measures because it is a non-cash expense that
we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results.
• Acquired intangible asset amortization — We believe that
by excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets,
which primarily represents purchased technology and customer
relationships, as well as purchase order and contract backlog,
this provides an alternative way for investors to compare our
operations pre-acquisition to those post acquisition and to those
of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies.
However, we note that companies that grow internally will incur
costs to develop intangible assets that will be expensed in the
period incurred, which may make a direct comparison more
difficult.
• Bridge loan and debt extinguishment fees — Included in our
GAAP presentation of interest and debt expense are expenses
incurred in connection with the financing activities to fund the
FLIR and e2v acquisition. We exclude these expenses, many of
which are one-time costs, from our non-GAAP measures because
we believe it does not reflect our ongoing financial performance.
• Foreign currency option contract expense for the e2v purchase
price — In connection with our e2v acquisition, we entered into
a foreign currency option contract in December 2016 to hedge
the e2v purchase price. We exclude this expense because we
believe it does not reflect our ongoing financial performance.
• Acquisition-related tax matters — Included in our tax provision
is post-acquisition interest on certain income tax reserves related
to FLIR, as well as the tax benefits or costs related to the resolution
of the FLIR tax reserves. Also, in June 2021, the United Kingdom
Parliament enacted legislation to increase the corporate tax rate
to 25% effective April 2023. Accordingly, the tax rate changes
required us to remeasure our deferred taxes related to acquired
intangible assets. We exclude these impacts from our non-GAAP
measures because we believe it does not reflect our ongoing
financial performance.
• Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repatriation tax and other impacts —
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted.
The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax
by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates,
implementing the territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation
taxon deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As a
result of the Tax Act, Teledyne incurred estimated charges in the
fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to the repatriation tax and
the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. We
exclude these impacts from our non-GAAP measures because
we believe it does not reflect our ongoing financial performance.
and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used
by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are also
used by our management to evaluate our operating performance,
and benchmark our results against our historical performance and
the performance of our peers.
OUR NON-GAAP MEASURES IN THIS REPORT
ARE AS FOLLOWS:
NON-GAAP DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
This non-GAAP measure provided a supplemental view of diluted
earnings per common share. This non-GAAP measure excludes
certain costs related to the FLIR and e2v acquisitions, such as
acquired intangible asset amortization, amortization of inventory
step-up, foreign currency option contract expense, bridge loan and
debt extinguishment fees, and transaction costs such as advisory,
legal and other consulting fees, filing fees, employee separation
costs and other costs. This non-GAAP measure also excludes
acquired intangible asset amortization from prior acquisitions, the
remeasurement of deferred taxes related to acquired intangible
assets due to changes in tax laws, and the tax benefits or costs
related to the settlement or other resolution of the FLIR tax
reserves. We adjust for any income tax impact related to these
items to take into account the tax treatment and related tax rate and
changes in tax rates that apply to each adjustment in the applicable
tax jurisdiction. Generally, this results in tax impact at the U.S.
marginal tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of
amortization of intangible assets, whereas the tax impact of other
adjustments, including transaction expenses, depend on whether
the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and
the applicable tax rates in those jurisdictions. We also adjust for any
post-acquisition interest on certain income tax reserves related to
FLIR. We believe this measure provides investors and management
with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating
results of our business by adjusting for certain expenses and other
items and present an alternative view of our performance compared
to prior periods.
NON-GAAP OPERATING INCOME AND
OPERATING MARGIN
We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating
income divided by net sales. These non-GAAP measures exclude
certain costs related to the FLIR acquisition, such as acquired
intangible asset amortization, amortization of inventory step-up,
and transaction costs such as advisory, legal and other consulting
fees, filing fees, employee separation costs and other costs.
These non-GAAP measures also exclude acquired intangible asset
amortization from prior acquisitions. We believe these measures
provide investors and management with additional means to
understand and evaluate the operating results of our business
by adjusting for certain expenses and other items and present an
alternative view of our performance compared to prior periods.
Management excludes the effect of each of the items identified
below to arrive at the applicable non-GAAP financial measure
referenced in the previous tables for the reasons set forth below
with respect to that item:
• FLIR and e2v transaction and integration costs — Included in
our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and selling, general and
administrative expenses are expenses incurred in connection
with our acquisitions of FLIR and e2v and primarily include
legal, accounting, other professional fees as well as integration-
related costs such as employee separation costs and facility
lease impairments. Employee separation costs include required
change-in-control payments, cash settlement of FLIR employee

Customers
We have a large number of customers in the various industries we serve. No commercial customer in 2021 or 2020
accounted for more than 3% of total net sales or more than 10% of any segment’s net sales.
Sales to international customers accounted for approximately 47% of total sales in 2021 compared with 45% in 2020. In
both 2021 and 2020, we sold products to customers in over 100 foreign countries. Approximately 90% of our net sales to
international customers during 2021 were made to customers in 30 foreign countries. In 2021, the top five countries for sales to
international customers, ranked by net sales, were China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France and represented
approximately 20% of our total net sales.
Approximately 26% of our total net sales for both 2021 and 2020 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):

Our principal U.S. Government customer is the U.S. Department of Defense, which totaled approximately $876.6 million
and $578.4 million of our total net sales for 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2021 and 2020, our largest program with the U.S.
Government was the Mission Operations and Integration (“MO&I”) contract with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center,
which represented 1.0% and 1.5% 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 2021, approximately 76% of our U.S. Government prime contracts and subcontracts
were fixed-price type contracts, compared to 67% in 2020. 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
3
default. When contracts are terminated for convenience, we can 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 or default in
2021 or 2020.
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.
Raw Materials and Suppliers
Generally, most raw materials used in our operations are readily available; however, during 2021, we experienced supply
chain constraints and price volatility on some raw materials. While the current supply chain constraints have not significantly
affected our business, to reduce current and future supply disruptions, we have implemented short-term and long-term supplier
actions to reduce disruptions and prioritize mitigation. Some raw materials are purchased from a limited set of suppliers,
including international sources, due to technical capability, price, and other factors. We leverage our existing supplier
relationships and are not dependent on any one supplier for a material amount of our purchases. Prices of certain key raw
materials and electronic components are expected to fluctuate in the future. We mitigate raw material cost increases with long-
term supply agreements, customer price increases, and isolating the market driven raw material component of the products we
buy. We anticipate that supply chain constraints for some raw materials will continue in 2022. However, we believe our short-
term and long-term supplier actions position us well to mitigate and reduce the impact these factors may have on our
businesses.
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.
4
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, 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.
Recently, the prominence and importance of sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives
have dramatically increased. In February 2022, we published our inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) report, in
which we disclose and highlight some of Teledyne’s most recent efforts focused and sustainability and ESG. The CSR report is
available at the Corporate Social Responsibility link on our website at www.teledyne.com under the tab “Who We Are”.
In 2021, we compiled the first global inventory of our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions (starting with fiscal year 2020)
and are developing a GHG monitoring and management plan. We have set a goal to reduce our combined direct emissions
(“Scope 1”) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (“Scope 2”) in company operations, normalized for revenue, by 40%
from 2020 levels by the end of 2040. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate our emission reduction goals, while at the
same time providing the tools and technologies enabling environmental science and climatology across the globe. More
information about our carbon footprint and GHG emission reduction efforts and goals, and the contributions that Teledyne
products make to carbon monitoring and environmental and climate science, can be found in our CSR report.
Please note that information posted or accessible through websites referenced in this report is not incorporated by
reference or otherwise included in this report.
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, and other ESG matters. The Audit Committee also
oversees risk management, including the impact of climate change-related risks.
Human Capital
We consider our relations with our employees to be good. At January 2, 2022, our total workforce consisted of
approximately 14,500 employees in more than 38 countries. Workforce demographics for various regions are provided below:

We have a stable and long-tenured workforce. In 2021, our voluntary employee turnover (excluding reductions in force)
was approximately 10%. As of January 2, 2022, the average years of service of our employees was approximately 10 years.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Employees are vital to the success of our innovation-driven growth strategy. We are focused on attracting, developing,
and retaining employees through competitive compensation and benefits, workforce and management development, diversity
and inclusion initiatives, succession planning, corporate culture and leadership quality.
In 2020, we formed a committee to oversee our equality, diversity and inclusion efforts. We are committed to building a
more diverse and inclusive workplace, and we actively monitor diversity metrics on a global basis. We are piloting an
anonymized review/resume redaction process and we expanded our recruitment sources to attract more diverse candidates. We
work with many outreach programs, including the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers.
We also began working with INROADS, a non-profit organization that creates pathways to careers for ethnically diverse high
school and college students across the country, to improve our access to diverse candidates.
We regularly review our policies, processes and practices to ensure that they promote inclusivity for all applicants and
employees. We continue to focus on several activities and initiatives to actively increase diverse representation and progression
within our company. We advertise vacancies and strive to recruit the best possible candidate for the role.
5
Employee Well-Being
The health and wellness of our employees is a critical component to the success of our business. Many of our larger
facilities have on-site fitness centers and encourage healthy choices with various wellness challenge programs. These programs
often include guest speakers on various topics, including mental health, heart disease, diabetes, and personal financial
awareness. We also have vacation and sick leave policies that provide employees with flexibility to take time away from work
for relaxation or to recover from illness. U.S. based employees have access to third-party counseling and mental health services
at no cost to the employee when life events impact an employee.
Talent Acquisition
We appreciate the benefits of diversity and support programs increasing the inclusion of underrepresented and minority
groups, including the enablement of persons with disabilities, and the advancement of women in professional fields, particularly
in science, technology, engineering and math (“STEM”). We work with various organizations to increase diversity in our pool
of available candidates to fill our STEM-based and other hard-to-fill positions.
As part of our outreach and development efforts for women in the science, technology, and engineering fields, we have
participated in the Women in Science and Engineering Conference for Girls in various locations in the U.S. We have also been
a consistent sponsor of the Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). This event helps
young students, school leavers and degree students understand more about engineering by learning about day-to-day jobs and
personal experiences. It is also designed to encourage young talent to pursue a career in STEM.
Talent Development
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 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. We also provide additional opportunities for our
existing employees to enhance their careers. We invest in employee skills development in various ways, including through
educational expense reimbursement. These reimbursements help employees advance their education. Specialized training in a
job related field gives employees new skills and a strong foundation of knowledge that can serve them throughout their career
and that may allow them to progress to more responsible positions at Teledyne. In 2020, we launched Teledyne University, a
learning platform for employees. The database of courses, webinars, and certification programs has hundreds of targeted
training programs on management, technical competencies, soft skills development, and compliance.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risk Factors
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 2021 acquisition of FLIR
FLIR is our largest acquisition to date and our business could be adversely affected if we do not manage the business
effectively or if we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
On May 14, 2021, we acquired FLIR in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8.1 billion (including net
debt), 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 is part of the Digital Imaging segment.
6
While many of the products made and markets served by FLIR are complementary to Teledyne, the acquisition of FLIR
expanded the size of our Digital Imaging segment relative to our other segments. For the 2021 fiscal year, Teledyne’s Digital
Imaging segment constituted 52% of our net sales, compared to 32% for the 2020 fiscal year. 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 and its integration, including:
•
•
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.
Unplanned future events and conditions could reduce or delay the accretion to earnings that is currently projected by
us in connection with 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 the operations
of FLIR, which includes jurisdictions in which Teledyne did not have operations.
Both Teledyne and FLIR may have difficulty retaining, motivating, and attracting executives and other employees in
light of the acquisition, including those experienced with post-acquisition integration, and failure to do so could
seriously harm the combined company.
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.
Adverse findings in matters related FLIR’s historical export control practices could materially impact us.
On April 24, 2018, FLIR entered into a Consent Agreement with the United States Department of State’s Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls to resolve allegations regarding the unauthorized export of technical data and defense services to dual
and third country nationals in certain of FLIR’s facilities, the failure to properly use and manage export licenses and export
authorizations, and failures to report certain payments under 22 CFR Part 130 in potential violation of International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). The Consent Agreement has a four-year term and provides for: (i) a civil penalty of $30.0 million
with $15.0 million of this amount suspended on the condition that the funds have or will be used for Department-approved
Consent Agreement remedial compliance measures, (ii) the appointment of an external Special Compliance Official to oversee
compliance with the Consent Agreement and the ITAR; (iii) two external audits of our ITAR compliance program; and (iv)
continued implementation of ongoing remedial compliance measures and additional remedial compliance measures related to
automated systems and ITAR compliance policies, procedures, and training. While FLIR has enhanced its trade compliance
program more broadly, implemented and continues to implement remedial measures and completed two external audits of
FLIR’s ITAR compliance program, additional adverse disclosures and findings could materially cause incurrence of additional
expenses in connection with implementation of remedial measures and result in a substantial adjustment to our revenue and net
income. As of January 2, 2022, under the Consent Agreement, $3.5 million remains to be paid by April 24, 2022. FLIR’s
investments to date in remedial compliance measures have been more than sufficient to cover the $15.0 million suspension
amount.
In June 2017, the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) of the United States Department of Commerce informed FLIR
of additional export licensing requirements that restricted FLIR’s ability to sell certain thermal products without a license to
customers in China not identified on a list maintained by the United States Department of Commerce. This action was
precipitated by concerns of sale without a license or potential diversion of some of FLIR’s products to prohibited end users and
to countries subject to economic and other sanctions implemented by the United States. BIS subsequently favorably modified
these restrictions to reduce the applicability of the restrictions to sales of FLIR's Tau camera cores (as opposed to finished
products containing Tau camera cores) to customers in China not identified on a list maintained by the United States
Department of Commerce and persons in a country other than those in the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) Country
Group A:5 (Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR). FLIR has identified certain shipments that potentially violate these
license requirements and voluntarily disclosed this matter to BIS.
In April 2021, FLIR resolved allegations of misrepresentations made to BIS, between November 2012 and December
2013, in a commodity jurisdiction request relating to its newly developed Lepton uncooled focal plane arrays by an
administrative settlement and fine of $0.3 million and agreeing to perform two internal audits of its EAR export compliance
programs. The first internal audit has been completed and pursuant to FLIR’s findings, as a result of certain findings FLIR
submitted one voluntary self-disclosure to report potential violations.
FLIR has made other voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of Commerce, including to BIS with respect to the
shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not authorized due to a potentially incorrect de minimis
calculation methodology under section 734.4 and Supplement No. 2 of the EAR.

At this time, based on available information, we are unable to reasonably estimate the time it may take to resolve these
matters or the amount or range of potential loss, penalty or other government action, if any, that may be incurred in connection
with these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome could result in substantial fines and penalties or loss or suspension of
export privileges or of particular authorizations that could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations
or cash flows in and following the period in which such an outcome becomes estimable or known.
The final acquisition accounting adjustments for these matters may be materially different, as Teledyne obtains additional
information on these matters and as additional information is made known during the post-acquisition measurement period.
Risks related to our indebtedness
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 2, 2022, we had $3,500.0 million total outstanding indebtedness in senior notes, $505.6 million in term
loans and $125.0 million outstanding under our $1,150.0 million floating rate credit facility. Teledyne incurred a significant
amount of indebtedness in connection with the financing of the FLIR acquisition. We also incurred additional indebtedness
through the planned assumption of FLIR’s existing senior notes. The use of indebtedness to finance the acquisition reduced our
liquidity and caused 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 operating activities and capital expenditure needs or to pursue other
potential strategic plans. The agreements we entered into with respect to our indebtedness, including the agreements we entered
into to finance the FLIR acquisition and in connection with the assumption of FLIR’s existing senior notes, contain negative
covenants, that, subject to certain exceptions, 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 may also have the effect, among other things, of limiting our ability to
obtain additional financing, if needed, 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, 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. Our indebtedness also exposes us to interest rate risk since a portion of our debt obligations are at variable
rates.
We may not be able to service our debt obligations.
Our ability to meet our expense and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, including the cash we
generate from operating activities, 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 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. 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.
The credit rating of Teledyne could be downgraded, which may increase borrowing costs.
There can be no assurance that the credit ratings of Teledyne’s debt will not be subject to a downgrade below investment
grade. If a ratings downgrade were to occur, we could experience higher borrowing costs in the future and more restrictive debt
covenants, which would reduce profitability and diminish operational flexibility.
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 2021 and 2020, we expended $8.1 billion in cash and stock and $29.0
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;
8
•
•
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 and acquisition of public companies, such as our acquisition of FLIR, typically do include post
closing indemnities or escrows.
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.
We are experiencing component and raw material shortages due to worldwide supply chain constraints which impacts
our ability to manufacture and ship all of the product for which we have demand.
Our business is being impacted by interruptions in the supply chain, due in part to the COVID pandemic, a resumption of
strong worldwide demand for electronic products and components across a number of end markets, and interruption in supplier
and port operations. As a result, we are experiencing delays in delivery and shortages of certain components and raw materials
needed for many of the products we manufacture, particularly certain types of semiconductors, silicon wafers, specialized raw
materials and chemicals, adhesives, engineered plastics and electronic components. These conditions are currently limiting our
ability to manufacture and ship all of the product for which we have demand. In some cases, we have had to commit to
additional orders or longer-term contracts from suppliers to secure needed components and materials. We expect these delays
and shortages to continue in 2022 and that such shortages could result in delays in shipments to our customers during the period
of such shortages. Any such delays would reduce our revenue and margins for the periods affected and would also result in an
increase in our inventory of other components, which would reduce our operating cash flow.
Increased prices for components and raw materials used in our products and higher labor and shipping costs could
adversely impact our profitability.
Supply chain constraints and improving economic conditions have resulted in sustained increases in the prices we pay for
many of the components and raw materials used in our products. In addition, we are experiencing higher labor costs due to
increased competition for personnel in many regions in which we operate as well as general inflationary conditions, and higher
shipping costs due to labor and vehicle shortages and rising energy prices. We expect inflationary pressures to persist in 2022.
We may be unable to adjust our product pricing to reflect such higher costs. If we are unable to increase our product prices
enough to offset these increased costs, our gross margins and profitability could decrease, perhaps significantly over a sustained
period of time.
Our inability to attract and retain key personnel and labor shortages resulting from the COVID pandemic and
improving economic conditions, 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. The lack
of human capital due to very competitive labor market conditions in certain regions could impact our ability to deliver products
and services. The skilled manufacturing and specialized engineering labor market is currently very competitive. A significant
portion of our revenue depends on the availability of a highly skilled technical workforce. It is critical that we retain, develop,
and grow our workforce to protect future revenue and improve our competitive advantage. We are experiencing increased
competition for our most talented employees which may erode our competitive advantage, impair our ability to meet certain
customer requirements or increase labor costs.
We have experienced and may continue to experience temporary labor shortages as a result of the COVID pandemic due
to personnel contracting the virus or needing to quarantine at home as a result of exposure to the virus, as well as due to
restrictive measures implemented by governments around the world to help control the spread of the virus, including shelter in
place or stay at home orders, school closures, orders that reduced the availability of public transportation and other measures.
Government-imposed vaccine mandates could negatively affect the availability of personnel or could lead to the attrition of
personnel. These impacts to our labor force resulting from the COVID pandemic could materially affect our ability to
manufacture, ship or deliver our products, and in certain instances may result in higher wage costs, which could adversely
impact our revenue and our results of operations
We also have a mature 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.
9
Escalating global trade tensions, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the adoption or expansion of tariffs
and trade restrictions could negatively impact us.
China represented one of the top five countries for our international sales in 2021 and 2020. 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, China has bolstered laws or regulations requiring the use of local China
suppliers and in-country manufacturing, which has had a negative impact on Teledyne’s revenues of instrumentation, marine
and digital imaging products, as we currently have limited manufacturing operations in China.
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 to them of most commercial and
dual-use items subject to the EAR. Tariffs and trade restrictions could result in revenue reduction, price increases on material
used in our products or production delays, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operational results
and cash flows.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and
industries that could negatively impact our operations. The U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions in which
we operate have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional
sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown
and they could adversely affect our business, supply chain, partners or customers.
Recession, financial and credit market disruptions, or an economic slowdown in China, may adversely affect us.
If another global recession emerges, 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 5.6% and 6.0% of total revenues in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Economic growth in China had slowed due to the COVID 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 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
since the start of the COVID pandemic, we face risk that our addressable market for retrofit products will shrink further as
airlines retire a 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
refining, which may be negatively impacted in the event of future reductions in global capital expenditures and manufacturing
capacity, or as a result of global environmental sustainability efforts.
10
We are subject to the risks associated with international sales and international operations, and events in those countries
could harm our business or results of operations.
During 2021, sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 47% of our net sales, compared
with 45% in 2020. In 2021, we sold products to customers in over 100 countries. In 2021, the top five countries for
international sales were China, the United Kingdom, Germany, 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 China and emerging markets such as 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 and the Personal Information Protection Law in China;
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.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations may increase the cost of our products to international customers and therefore reduce our
competitive position.
In June 2016, the 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. 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.
We generate revenue 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.
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;
11
•
•
•
•
•
•
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, use electric vehicles or use alternative energy
sources, or that impose restrictions on the development and extraction of oil and gas.
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.
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 U.S. Presidential administration proposed a higher U.S. federal
statutory corporate income tax rate of 28% compared to the current rate of 21%. Such increased income tax rate in the U.S. or
in other jurisdictions could also reduce our net income and increase our cash payments.
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 2, 2022, Teledyne’s goodwill was $7,986.7 million and net acquired intangible assets were $2,741.6 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 net sales in both 2021 and 2020. 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
12
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 U.S. Presidential Administration for various defense and 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 International Space Station (“ISS”), MO&I, the Shallow Water Combat Submersible (“SWCS”) or U.S.
Navy Health and Research would affect our results.
In 2021 and 2020, our largest contract with the U.S. Government was the MO&I contract, which represented 1.0% and
1.5% 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 award solicitation to begin. The MO&I contract continues
through June 2022 with options to extend up through December 2022. NASA released the new acquisition solicitation, the
Marshall Operations, Systems, Services, and Integration II, in August 2021. Notification of award is expected in the second
half of 2022. There is no guarantee that Teledyne will be awarded this new contract.
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. These delays by the U.S. Government could impact our revenues. Delays in procurements,
awards and modifications to contracts have negatively impacted revenue in 2021. This trend is continuing in 2022 and may
also impact future revenue. Uncertainty over budgets or priorities with the U.S. Presidential Administration could result in
further delays in funding and the timing of awards, and changes in funded programs that could have a material impact on our
revenues. U. S. Government operation under a continuing resolution could impact the business by preventing new programs
from starting as planned and by, limiting funding on existing programs. 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 or default in 2021 or in 2020.
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 cybersecurity measures to attain the safeguarding of contractor systems that process,
store, or transmit certain information. Implementation and compliance with these cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity 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.
13
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.
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.
14
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.
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. 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. Lastly, some of our products face increasing competition from alternative technologies.
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 U.S. 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. We are experiencing increasing competition in our digital imaging businesses from Chinese manufacturers which
offer lower cost products with increasingly advanced technical capabilities. 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 2022 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 historical insurance coverage, including that of our
15
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.
Our business and financial results could be adversely affected by conditions and other factors associated with our
suppliers, and subcontractors.
Apart from the current shortages we are experiencing due to global supply chain constraints, as discussed above, 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. Teledyne LeCroy also uses an engineering firm located in Ukraine
that may be adversely impacted by the conflict between Russian and Ukraine, which in turn may delay some product
development efforts. 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. 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, sales representatives, 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 selling 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 such parties. Failing to manage risks related to our use of third party sales channels may reduce sales,
increase expenses, and weaken our competitive position, and could result in sanctions against us.
Failing to comply with increasing environmental 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 GHG 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 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 GHGs. 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
16
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 by a business 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 and the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment 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.
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. 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.
Risks related to climate change
Climate change may have a long-term impact on our business.
Climate change may have an increasingly adverse impact on our business and those of our customers, partners and
suppliers. While we seek to mitigate the risks associated with climate change on our operations, there are inherent climate-
related risks globally. As discussed under the risk factor below headed “Natural and man-made disasters could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition,” some of our manufacturing facilities are located in regions that may
be impacted by severe weather events, like hurricanes or ice storms, or in areas prone to wildfires, the frequency and severity of
which may increase as a result of climate change. These events could result in potential damage to our physical assets as well
as disruptions in manufacturing activities. Some of our manufacturing facilities are in areas that may be at risk due to rising sea
levels. Moreover, some of our manufacturing facilities are in areas that could experience decreased access to water and reliable
energy due to climate issues. Severe weather and wildfire events may impair the ability of our employees to work effectively.
Climate change, including the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, its impact on our supply chain and
critical infrastructure worldwide and its potential to increase political instability in regions where we, our customers, partners
and our suppliers do business, may disrupt our business and may cause us to experience higher employee attrition and higher
costs to maintain or resume operations. The effects of climate change also may impact our decisions to construct new facilities
or maintain existing facilities in the areas most prone to physical risks, which could similarly increase our operating and
material costs. We could also face indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain that could result in higher prices for
our products and the resources needed to produce them.
We sell products to customers directly engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Changes to regulations, social
practices and preferences, energy generation and transportation technologies that may occur or be implemented to mitigate
climate change could result in reduced demand for hydrocarbon products, which could result in a reduction in sales to these
customers.
Regulations associated with climate change could adversely affect our business.
Legislative and regulatory measures currently under consideration or being implemented by government authorities to
address climate change could require reductions in our greenhouse gas or other emissions, establish a carbon tax or increase
fuel or energy taxes. We have also voluntarily announced goals to reduce our GHG emissions by a target date. These legal
requirements, in addition to emission reduction efforts that we voluntarily undertake, are expected to result in increased capital
expenditures and compliance costs, and could result in higher costs required to operate and maintain our facilities, procure raw
materials and energy, and may require us to acquire emission credits or carbon offsets. These costs and restrictions could harm
our business and results of operations by increasing our expenses or requiring us to alter our operations and product design
activities. The inconsistent international, regional and/or national requirements associated with climate change regulations also
create economic and regulatory uncertainty.
17
Investor sentiment towards climate change and sustainability could adversely affect our business and the market price
for our common stock.
Increased investor focus and activism related to climate change and sustainability may hinder our access to capital, as
investors may reconsider their capital investment as a result of their assessment of our sustainability practices. We may face
increasing pressure regarding our sustainability disclosures and practices. Additionally, members of the investment community
may screen companies such as ours for sustainability performance before investing in our stock. If we are unable to meet the
sustainability standards set by these investors, or if we are unable meet GHG reduction targets we communicate to the public,
we may lose investors, our stock price may be negatively impacted and our reputation may be negatively affected.
Other Risks We Face
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),
we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application
development, lengthy interruptions in our production, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm
our business, results of operations and financial condition. Teledyne FLIR’s Goleta facility which is a single source supplier of
sensors used throughout the FLIR business, is located near a runway of the Santa Barbara Airport and could be severely
damaged in the event of an airplane crash. 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 or Teledyne FLIR’s manufacturing facility in Goleta, California,
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.
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 cybersecurity breaches.
Attempts by malicious actors 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 have in the past experienced cyber-attacks including some loss of confidentiality and
some loss of availability, although these attacks have not had material impact on our business. Our customers and suppliers
have also experienced successful cyber-attacks, which in some cases resulted in payments by or to us being unlawfully diverted.
18
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 occurrence. Company personnel and third parties
have been tasked to prevent, deter, detect, respond to, and investigate such incidents, however 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 due to a cyber-attack 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, operating technology systems,
products and services. More resources may be required in the defense arena to the extent the U.S. Government increases its
cybersecurity mandates. Unauthorized access to or control of our products, data, 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. The systemic cybersecurity risk environment is elevated, in part by remote
working driven by COVID pandemic concerns, particularly at our customer and supplier partner organizations.
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
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
listed companies. In addition to general economic, political and market conditions, such volatility may be related to: (i)
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 2021 ranged from a low of $350.01 to a high of $465.40.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Properties
The Company has 77 principal operating facilities in 20 states and 10 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 Digital Imaging segment has principal operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France,
Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia and the United Arab Emirates, the Instrumentation segment has principal operations
in the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark and France, 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, personal injury, 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.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
No information is required in response to this item.
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 23, 2022, there were 2,520 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 (“Teledyne” or the “Company”) provides enabling technologies for industrial growth
markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include factory automation and condition
monitoring, aerospace and defense, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development,
medical imaging and pharmaceutical research, oceanographic research, and deepwater energy exploration and production.
Following the 2021 acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. ( “FLIR”), we further evolved into a global sensing and decision-support
technology company: providing specialty sensors, cameras, instrumentation, algorithms and software across the electromagnetic
spectrum, as well as unmanned systems, in the subsea, land and air domains. 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 digital imaging, instrumentation, 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.
In connection with this strategy, on May 14, 2021, Teledyne completed the acquisition of FLIR, our largest acquisition to
date. In addition to the acquisition of FLIR, we made one acquisition in 2020 and three acquisitions in 2019. See the Recent
Acquisitions section for additional information.
COVID and Other Matters
With regard to the COVID 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. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic,
we have practiced social distancing, enhanced cleaning protocols, increased usage of personal protective equipment and other
preventative measures. Although the COVID pandemic continued to impact our business operations and practices, we
experienced limited disruptions in 2021. We expect to continue to take robust actions to help protect the health, safety and
well-being of our employees, to support continued performance, to support our suppliers and partners and to continue to serve
our customers. Our goals have been, and continue to be to lessen the potential adverse impacts, both health and economic, and
to continue to position the company for long-term success. Like the communities in which we operate, our actions have varied
depending on the severity of the COVID pandemic and applicable government requirements, the needs of our employees, the
needs of our customers and the needs of our business. Contingency plans remain in place in the event of significant impacts
from COVID infection resurgences, and we may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we
determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers.
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, we may not fully estimate the impacts of COVID on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We have experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, as well as cost inflation for parts and
components, logistics and labor due to availability constraints and high demand. We expect inflationary and supply chain
constraint trends to continue in 2022.
As part of a continuing effort to reduce costs and improve operating performance, as well as to respond to the impact of
the COVID pandemic, beginning in 2020 we took actions to reduce headcount across various businesses, reducing our exposure
to weak end markets, such as commercial aerospace. We also exited certain facilities no longer needed. In 2021, we took
actions to integrate FLIR into our businesses resulting in higher severance and facility closure costs in the Digital Imaging
segment. At January 2, 2022, an immaterial amount remains to be paid related to these actions.

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our recent acquisitions.
Acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc.
On May 14, 2021, Teledyne acquired the outstanding stock of FLIR for approximately $8.1 billion, comprising of net
cash payments of $3.7 billion, $3.9 billion of Teledyne common stock, and the assumption of FLIR debt of $0.5 billion. FLIR
stockholders received $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of Teledyne common stock for each FLIR share, and
Teledyne issued approximately 9.5 million shares of common stock at $409.41 per share. See Note 9 to these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding financing activities undertaken in connection with the FLIR
acquisition.
FLIR is an industrial technology company focused on intelligent sensing solutions for defense and industrial applications.
FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of applications in government and defense, industrial, and commercial

The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill include the acquired businesses market presence and
leading positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which they operate, their experienced work force and established
operating infrastructures. Goodwill resulting from the FLIR acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
We are accounting for the FLIR acquisition under the acquisition method and are required to measure identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the fair values on the closing date. The Company made an initial allocation of
the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed
liabilities. As of January 2, 2022, the measurement period (not to exceed one year) is open; therefore, the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed related to the FLIR acquisition are subject to adjustment until the end of the respective measurement period.
The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amounts assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible
assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the FLIR acquisition. The Company is in the process of
reviewing a third-party valuation of certain intangible assets and tangible assets of FLIR. The fair values of acquired intangibles
are determined based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. The amounts recorded as of
January 2, 2022 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to
finalize the analysis.

We reported net sales of $4,614.3 million in 2021, compared with net sales of $3,086.2 million for 2020, an increase of
49.5%. Net income increased 10.8% to $445.3 million ($10.05 per diluted share) in 2021, compared with net income of $401.9
million ($10.62 per diluted share) in 2020.
Total year 2021 net sales included $1,273.6 million in incremental net sales from the acquisition of FLIR. In connection
with the 2021 FLIR acquisition, Teledyne incurred pretax expenses of $350.3 million, which included $110.3 million in
acquired intangible asset amortization expense, $106.4 million in acquired inventory step-up expense, $103.0 million of
transaction and integration-related costs and $30.6 million in bridge loan and debt extinguishment fees. Total year 2021 also
included $39.0 million of acquired intangible asset amortization expense for acquisitions completed in prior periods. Total year
2020 included pretax charges of $72.1 million which included $38.8 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense
and $33.3 million in severance, facility consolidation and other costs. Net income for 2021 and 2020 also included net discrete
tax benefits of $34.7 million and $34.6 million, respectively.
Net sales
The increase in net sales in 2021, compared with 2020, reflected higher net sales in each segment except the Engineered
Systems segment. Total year 2021 also included net sales from the acquisition of FLIR in the Digital Imaging segment, as well
as organic sales growth.
Sales under contracts with the U.S. Government were approximately 26% of net sales in both 2021 and in 2020. Sales to
international customers represented approximately 47% of net sales in 2021 and 45% of net sales in 2020.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased by $867.6 million in 2021, compared with 2020, which primarily reflected the impact of higher net
sales and $106.4 million in acquired inventory step-up expense from the acquisition of FLIR. Cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales for 2021 was 60.1%, compared with 61.7% for 2020. The lower cost of sales percentage in 2021, primarily reflects
the impact of the FLIR acquisition which carries a lower cost of sales percentage than the other Teledyne businesses, partially
offset by the impact of acquired inventory step-up expense from the acquisition of FLIR.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development expense, were higher in 2021,
compared with 2020, and primarily reflected the impact of higher net sales, as well as $102.7 million in acquisition-related
transaction and purchase accounting expenses related to the FLIR acquisition and higher research and development expense.
Corporate administrative expense in 2021 was $136.8 million, compared with $56.8 million in 2020. The higher 2021 amount
included $77.1 million in acquisition-related transaction and purchase accounting expenses related to the FLIR acquisition. For
2021, we recorded a total of $20.0 million in stock option expense, of which $6.1 million was recorded within corporate
25
expense and $13.9 million was recorded in the operating segment results. 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. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was 23.2% for 2021,
compared with 21.5% for 2020. The higher percentage in 2021 primarily reflected the impact of acquisition-related transaction
and purchase accounting expenses related to the FLIR acquisition.
Acquired Intangible Asset Amortization
Acquired intangible asset amortization for 2021 was $149.3 million, compared with $38.8 million for 2020. The 2021
includes $110.3 million in acquired intangible asset amortization from the FLIR acquisition.
Pension Service Expense
Pension service expense is included in both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense. Pension service
expense in 2021 was $10.6 million compared with $10.4 million in 2020.
Operating Income
Operating income for 2021 was $624.3 million, compared with $480.1 million for 2020, an increase of 30.0%. The
increase in operating income primarily reflected higher operating income in each segment except the Engineered Systems
segment. Corporate expense was $136.8 million in 2021 compared with $56.8 million and included $77.1 million in
acquisition-related transaction and purchase accounting expenses related to the FLIR acquisition in 2021. Operating income in
2021 and 2020 included charges of $26.4 million and $33.3 million, respectively, primarily related to severance, facility
consolidation and other costs. Of these amounts, severance and facility consolidation expense totaled $26.4 million in 2021 and
$20.8 million in 2020. The incremental operating income included in the results for 2021 from the FLIR acquisitions was
$80.4 million, which included $242.6 million of acquisition-related transaction and purchase accounting expenses.
Interest Expense, Interest Income, Non-Service Retirement Benefit Income and Other Expense
Interest expense, including credit facility fees and other bank charges, was $104.8 million in 2021, compared with $15.8
million in 2020. The 2021 amount primarily reflected interest and debt expense on the debt incurred to fund the cash portion of
the FLIR acquisition, which included $30.6 million in bridge loan and debt extinguishment fees. Interest income was less than
$1.0 million in both 2021 and 2020. Non-service retirement benefit income was $11.2 million in 2021, compared with $12.1
million in 2020. Other income and expense was income of $2.5 million for 2021, compared with expense of $7.2 million in
2020. The 2020 amount reflected higher foreign currency translation losses.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for 2021 was 16.6%, compared with 14.4% for 2020. For 2021, net discrete income tax
benefits were $34.7 million, which included an income tax benefit of $18.2 million primarily related to the resolution of certain
FLIR tax reserves and a $13.1 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting. 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
in income tax benefit related to U.S. export sales, U.S. research credits and other items. Excluding the net discrete income tax
benefits in both years, the effective tax rates would have been 23.1% for 2021 and 21.8% for 2020.

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

compared with 22.6% for 2019.
Acquired Intangible Asset Amortization
Acquired intangible asset amortization for 2020 was $38.8 million, compared with $36.5 million 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 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
translation losses.
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.

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. 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.

At January 2, 2022, we had $281.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. Of this amount, $244.6 million was released
in February 2022.
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 2, 2022, 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 2, 2022:
$1.15 billion Credit Facility expires March 2026, $1.0 billion term loan due May 2026 and $150.0 million term loan

Interest expense related to the credit facility, including facility fees, is assumed to accrue at the rates in effect at year-end 2021 and is assumed to be
paid at the end of each quarter with the final payment in March 2026 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 $402.0 million and accrued interest and penalties on these tax matters of $160.8 million are
not included in the table above. As discussed in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Teledyne paid
$296.4 million in February 2022 for the Swedish tax matter, including accrued interest and penalties. The remaining
unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties are not included in the table above because $52.9 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 2, 2022, we were not required, and accordingly are not planning, to make any cash contributions to the
domestic qualified pension plans for 2022. Our minimum funding requirements after 2021 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 2022 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 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $824.6 million, compared with $618.9 million in 2020 and $482.1
million in 2019. The higher cash provided by operating activities in 2021, compared with 2020, reflected the impact of higher
net income and the cash flow contribution from FLIR, partially offset by $9.1 million of higher income tax payments. The
higher cash provided by operating activities in 2020, compared with 2019, was driven by the timing of accounts receivable
collections, cash flow from recent acquisitions and $35.6 million of lower income tax payments.
Free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) was $723.0 million in 2021, compared
with $547.5 million in 2020 and $393.7 million in 2019.

investment community in analyzing our ability to generate cash flow.
On January 26, 2022, the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Sweden generally affirmed the March 2020
ruling of the First Instance Court and determined a tax liability in the amount of SEK 2.765 billion. Teledyne paid the tax on
February 2, 2022 totaling $296.4 million.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $3,824.3 million, $99.4 million and $571.9 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for acquisitions and other investments
and capital expenditures.

Acquisitions
Investing activities used cash for acquisitions and other investments of $3,723.3 million, $29.0 million and $484.0
million, in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively (see “Recent Acquisitions”). Teledyne funded the acquisitions from borrowings
under its credit facilities, issuance of senior notes and term loans, the issuance of Teledyne common stock and cash on hand.
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 2021 reflected net proceeds from debt of $2,834.2 million, compared with net payments on debt of
$98.1 million in 2020 and net proceeds from debt of $108.8 million for 2019. Fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 reflect
proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $25.4 million, $36.3 million and $34.6 million, respectively.
In the first quarter of 2021, Teledyne completed various financing activities related to the then pending acquisition of
FLIR. These activities included entering into a $4.5 billion short term stand-by bridge facility on January 4, 2021, as required
by the definitive agreement, resulting in debt expense of $17.2 million. In addition, on March 17, 2021 Teledyne called $493.3
million of existing fixed rate senior notes and incurred debt extinguishment expenses of $13.4 million, which is included in
interest and debt expense, net. On March 22, 2021, Teledyne completed all permanent financing for the acquisition of FLIR
and terminated the $4.5 billion stand-by bridge facility. The permanent financing consists of $3.0 billion investment-grade
bonds (the “Notes”), including $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.65% Notes due 2023, $450.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 0.95% Notes due 2024, $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.60% Notes due 2026, $700.0
million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Notes due 2028 and $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Notes due
2031. Teledyne may redeem the $450.0 million of 0.95% Notes due 2024 at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part,
at the Company’s option, from and after April 1, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes redeemed. In addition, we guaranteed FLIR’s $500.0 million, 2.50% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due August 2030.
35
Previously on March 4, 2021, Teledyne entered into a $1.0 billion Term Loan Credit Agreement (maturing May 2026) and an
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (maturing March 2026) with capacity of $1.15 billion. The terms of the $1.0 billion
Term Loan Credit Agreement allow for prepayments, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time, in whole or in
part without premium or penalty. Teledyne used the proceeds from the Notes together with the proceeds from the $1.0 billion
Term Loan Credit Agreement and cash on hand to pay the cash portion of the consideration for the FLIR acquisition and
refinance certain existing debt.
Other Matters
Pension Plans
Teledyne has two domestic qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees hired before
January 1, 2004, or approximately 6% of Teledyne’s active employees as of January 2, 2022. As of January 1, 2004, new U.S.
hires participate in a domestic defined contribution plan. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, Teledyne was not required, and did not make
any cash contributions to the domestic pension plans. For the Company’s domestic qualified defined benefit pension plans, the
discount rate for 2022 will increase to an average of 2.97% from 2.64% in 2021. 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. U.S. federal and applicable state income taxes have been accrued for deemed
repatriations. At January 2, 2022, the amount of undistributed foreign earnings was $619.8 million, for which we have not
recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.3 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 2011, Canadian income tax
matters for all years through 2012, Swedish income tax matters for all years through 2011, Norwegian income tax matters for
all years through 2016, Belgian income tax matters for all years through 2018, French income tax matters for all years through
2018 and United Kingdom income tax matters for all years through 2019.
Costs and Pricing
Inflation has been rising in the markets in which we operate. Current inventory costs, the increasing costs of labor,
materials, 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.
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 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 converted U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate and fixed
36
rate debt obligations of a European subsidiary, into euro fixed rate obligations using a receive float, pay fixed cross currency
swap, and a receive 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 losses recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for forward contracts that will mature in the next 12 months total $0.7 million.
These losses are expected to be offset by anticipated gains 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 $2.8 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 2, 2022, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian
dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $148.2 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from
March 2022 to February 2023. Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy British
pounds and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $18.9 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from
March 2022 to February 2023.
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 2, 2022, Teledyne primarily had foreign currency contracts of this type in the following currency pairs (in millions):

The above table includes non-designated hedges derived from terms contained in triggered or previously designated cash
flow hedges. These contracts had a positive fair value of $1.6 million at January 2, 2022. 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
37
hypothetical 10 percent price change of the U.S. dollar from its value at January 2, 2022, would result in a decrease or increase
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 $14.8 million. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at
January 2, 2022 would result in a decrease in the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow
hedges to buy British Pounds and to sell U.S. dollars by approximately $1.9 million. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in
the U.S. dollar from its value at January 2, 2022 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 $28.7 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 $1.4 million, while a 100 basis point decrease would result in a decrease in
its fair value of $0.8 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 2, 2022, we had $125.0
million outstanding under our $1.15 billion 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 $6.3 million and $6.5 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, 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 16 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
both 2021 and 2020 and 24% of total net sales in 2019. 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%, 19% and 17% of total net sales for 2021, 2020 and 2019, 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 are made available 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 12.
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 and Estimates.

product warranties. We regularly assess the adequacy of our pre-existing warranty liabilities and adjust amounts as necessary
based on a review of historical 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 other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 business combinations, goodwill and acquired intangible assets; accounting for income taxes; and
accounting for pension plans. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the acquisition of FLIR, approximately 40% of our revenue was recognized over time, with the remaining 60% of
our revenue recognized at a point in time. The majority of FLIR revenue is recognized at a point in time. In future periods, we
expect approximately 30% of revenue to be recognized over time, with the remaining 70% 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.
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
39
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 2021, 2020 or 2019 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.
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
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, we estimate 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 we believe we have 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.
When using a quantitative approach, 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 will apply a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit subject to a quantitative impairment
test and compare those values to the reporting unit carrying values. 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 2, 2022, the Company had eleven reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. A qualitative test was
performed for all reporting units in the four quarter of 2021. Excluding the FLIR reporting unit, the carrying value of goodwill
included in the Company’s individual reporting units ranged from $20.4 million to $885.0 million on the most recent
quantitative test date. While goodwill for the FLIR reporting unit is provisional during the measurement period, the provisional
acquired goodwill balance is $5,905.5 million. The Company’s analysis in 2021 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.
Income Taxes
We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These
estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits, benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain tax
assets and liabilities which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial
statement purposes. In addition, uncertainty exists regarding tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns still under
40
examination and positions expected to be taken in the current year and future returns which may impact income tax expense. On
a quarterly basis, we provide for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate which is dependent on the
geographic composition of worldwide earnings, tax regulations governing each region, availability of tax credits, and the
effectiveness of our tax planning strategies. Although we believe our income tax expense is 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. 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. 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 2, 2022, of $5.3 million.
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. Significant management judgment is
required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. When it is more-likely-than-not that all or
some portion of deferred tax assets may not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established against the deferred tax
assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative 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.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and
regulations across domestic and foreign jurisdictions. We establish reserves for uncertain tax positions when, despite the belief
that our tax positions are supportable, there remains uncertainty in a tax position taken in our filed tax returns or planned to be
taken in a future tax return or claim. We follow a recognition and measurement approach, considering the facts, circumstances,
and information available at the reporting date. Judgment is exercised in determining the level of evidence necessary and
appropriate to support its assessment using all available information. The technical merits of a given tax position are derived
from sources of authority in the tax law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the position. In measuring the
tax position, we consider the amount and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon settlement. When it is more-
likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained, we record a liability for the anticipated tax and interest due upon ultimate
settlement with a taxing authority. Unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued penalties and interest, increased $529.3 million
from the prior year, primarily related to the FLIR acquisition on May 14, 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, we paid
approximately $296.4 million related to an acquired uncertain tax position, refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional detail. To the extent we prevail in matters for which reserves have been established or are
required to pay amounts in excess of reserves, there could be a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and
annual results of operations.
For a description of the Company’s tax accounting policies, refer to Note 2 and Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
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 our pension income or
expense are 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 2021 pension expense (in millions):

Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Annual Report on Form 10-K 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, statements and goals relating to greenhouse gas emission reductions, 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. All statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that are not historical in nature should be
considered forward-looking. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Many factors could change the anticipated results, including: ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID
pandemic for businesses and governments around the world, including production, supply, contractual and other disruptions,
facility closures, furloughs and travel restrictions; the inability to achieve operating synergies with respect to the FLIR
acquisition; changes in relevant tax and other laws; risks associated with indebtedness, as well as our ability to reduce
indebtedness and the timing thereof; the impact of semiconductor and other supply chain shortages, higher inflation, including
wage competition and higher shipping costs, and labor shortages and competition for skilled personnel; 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; 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 pandemic; impacts from the United Kingdom’s exit from
the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies of the U.S. Presidential Administration; the imposition and expansion
of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; the continuing review and resolution of FLIR’s export and tax matters;
escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; the ongoing conflict between Russia and
Ukraine; threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cybersecurity threats; natural and
man-made disasters, including those related to or intensified by climate change; and our ability to achieve emission reduction
targets and decrease our carbon footprint. 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 those implemented in response
to climate change, could further negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. 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 key management and 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 6 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.

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 2, 2022. 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. Our
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control activities of FLIR Systems, Inc ("FLIR"),
which we acquired in May 2021. We have included the financial results of this acquisition in our consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition. Total assets (excluding goodwill and intangible assets) and total net sales subject to
FLIR’s internal control over financial reporting represented approximately 11% and 28% of our consolidated total assets and
total net sales as of and for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, respectively. We did not assess the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting at this newly acquired entity due to the insufficient time between the date acquired and year-end
and the complexity associated with assessing internal controls during integration efforts making the process impractical. Based
on this evaluation we believe that, as of January 2, 2022, 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 47 of this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors 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 2, 2022, 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 2, 2022, 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 2, 2022, of the Company and our report
dated February 25, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.
As described in the Report of Management on Teledyne Technologies Incorporated’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting,
management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at FLIR Systems, Inc., which was
acquired on May 14, 2021, and whose financial statements (excluding goodwill and intangibles assets) constitute approximately
11% of total assets and 28% of net sales of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended January
2, 2022. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at FLIR Systems, Inc.
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 Stockholders and Board of Directors 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 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2022, 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 2, 2022 and January 3,
2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2022, 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 2, 2022, 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, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
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 Matters
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.
Acquisitions —FLIR Systems, Inc. – Intangible Assets – Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”) for total consideration of $7.9 billion on May 14,
2021. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.
Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair
values, including acquired intangible assets of $2.49 billion primarily from proprietary technology, trademarks, and customer
list/relationships. Management estimated the fair value of proprietary technology using the discounted cash flows approach,
trademarks using the relief from royalty approach, and customer list/relationships using the multi-period excess earnings
approach. The provisional fair value determination of the acquired intangible assets required management to make significant
estimates and assumptions related to future revenue projections.
Given the fair value determination of the acquired intangibles for FLIR requires management to make significant estimates and
assumptions related to the forecasts of future revenue projections, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of
these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the
need to involve our fair value specialists.
48
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to revenue projections used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets acquired included the
following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the revenue projections used to estimate the fair value of
the intangible assets acquired.
• We evaluated the reasonableness of the revenue projections by comparing them to (1) FLIR and third-party historical
financial data, (2) current economic factors and analyst reports of FLIR and companies in its peer group, (3) the
Company’s similar historical acquisitions and reporting units.
• We performed a sensitivity analysis by varying projected revenue assumptions.
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we performed an analysis comparing applicable industry forecasted
long-term revenue growth rates to management’s projected revenues used within the valuation models.
Acquisitions —FLIR Systems, Inc. – Uncertain Tax Positions – Refer to Notes 2 and 3 and 10 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the acquisition of FLIR for total consideration of $7.9 billion on May 14, 2021. The Company
accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the Company
evaluated the FLIR historical domestic and international tax positions to determine whether the ultimate tax determinations are
uncertain and therefore represent a liability assumed in the acquisition. A tax position is recorded when a determination is made
that it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. We
identified the Company’s assessment of technical merits evaluated in the more likely than not analysis for certain uncertain tax
positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions in which FLIR operates and the resulting existence as of the acquisition date as a critical
audit matter. This critical audit matter required challenging auditor judgment due to the nature and subjectivity of the applicable
tax rules and/or their interpretation in each jurisdiction, as well as evaluating whether the information used in the Company’s
analysis was known or knowable as of the acquisition date.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to (1) assessment of the technical merits evaluated in the more likely than not analysis for
uncertain tax positions, and (2) existence of such uncertain tax positions as of the acquisition date included the following,
among others:
a. We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the determination of meeting the more likely than not
threshold on potential uncertain tax positions and resulting existence as of the acquisition date.
b. We evaluated the information used in Management’s assessment of the technical merits of the Company’s positions to
determine whether such information was known or knowable as of the acquisition date and therefore should be
recorded as a liability assumed as part of purchase accounting.
c. We inspected external information and correspondence from foreign tax authorities on open tax examinations and tax
assessments issued

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 2, 2022
Note 1. Description of Business
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne” or the “Company”), a Delaware company that became an independent
public company effective November 29, 1999, provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require
advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include factory automation and condition monitoring, aerospace and
defense, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, medical imaging and
pharmaceutical research, oceanographic research, and deepwater energy exploration and production. Following the 2021
acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. ( “FLIR”), we further evolved into a global sensing and decision-support technology
company: providing specialty sensors, cameras, instrumentation, algorithms and software across the electromagnetic spectrum,
as well as unmanned systems, in the subsea, land and air domains. 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.
Teledyne consists of the Digital Imaging segment with principal operations in the United States, the United Kingdom,
Canada, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia and the United Arab Emirates: the Instrumentation segment with
principal operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark and France; the Aerospace and Defense Electronics
segment with principal operations in the United States and the United Kingdom; and the Engineered Systems segment with
principal operations in the United States.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company now
discloses acquired intangible asset amortization on a separate income statement line. Acquired intangible asset amortization
was previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, the Company now discloses the balance of
long-term deferred tax liabilities on a separate balance sheet line. Long-term deferred tax liabilities was previously included in
other long-term liabilities.
On May 14, 2021, Teledyne completed the acquisition of FLIR, and the financial results of FLIR have been included
since the date of the acquisition. The financial statements of Teledyne contained herein are as of and for the fiscal year ended
January 2, 2022, and reflect the results of the Company after giving effect to the acquisition of FLIR. Teledyne acquired the
outstanding stock of FLIR for approximately $8.1 billion, comprising of net cash payments of $3.7 billion, Teledyne share
issuances of $3.9 billion, and the assumption of FLIR debt of $0.5 billion. See Note 3 to these Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for information regarding FLIR acquisition.
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 2021 was a 52-week fiscal year and ended on January 2, 2022. 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. References to the years 2021,
2020 and 2019 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. Prior to the
acquisition of FLIR, approximately 60% of our revenue was recognized at a point in time, with the remaining 40% recognized
over time. The majority of FLIR revenue is recognized at a point in time. In future periods, we expect approximately 70% of
revenue to be recognized at a point in time, with the remaining 30% 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 Digital Imaging, Instrumentation, 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
55
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.
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 the cost-to-cost method, 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 2021 was approximately $26.8 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 2020 was approximately $14.6 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 2, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to
remaining performance obligations was $2,929.0 million. The Company expects approximately 78% of remaining performance
obligations to be recognized into revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining 22% recognized thereafter.
56
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 historical
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 $299.3 million in 2021, $196.0 million in 2020 and $209.6 million in 2019. The
higher amount in 2021 reflected $113.8 million in research and development and bid and proposal costs incurred by FLIR.
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.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted earnings per common 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 common share.

For 2021, 2020 and 2019, 196,802, 239,422 and less than 3,000 stock options, respectively, were excluded in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For 2021, 2020 and 2019, stock options to purchase 1.6 million, 1.6 million and 2.0 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 2021 and 2020, 2,608 and 497 shares, respectively, under the restricted stock plan, respectively, 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. No contingent shares under
the performance share compensation plan were excluded from fully diluted shares outstanding for 2021, 2020 or 2019.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $474.7 million at January 2, 2022, of which $294.0 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 $186.0 million and $25.3 million as of
January 2, 2022 and $160.1 million and $14.0 million as of January 3, 2021, 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 $99.9 million, or 39.6%, primarily due to
the acquisition of FLIR. Contract liabilities increased from the beginning of the year by $37.2 million, or 21.4% primarily due
to the acquisition of FLIR. The Company recognized revenue of $114.0 million during the year ended January 2, 2022 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 $13.8 million at January 2, 2022, and $12.3
million at January 3, 2021. Expense recorded for the allowance for doubtful accounts was $4.5 million, $4.1 million and $1.3
million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, 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
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
58
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, and an immaterial amount of inventory values 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 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 $115.2 million in 2021, $76.6 million in
2020 and $74.5 million in 2019.
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. A quantitative impairment test, if applicable, is used to identify potential goodwill impairment and then
measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. 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 more
frequently. The Company performed a qualitative test for all reporting units in 2021. The results of our annual impairment tests
of goodwill indicated that no impairment existed in 2021, 2020 or 2019.
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 2021,
2020 or 2019.
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. In addition, the Company has a separate deferred compensation plan that was acquired in connection with
the FLIR acquisition. This plan was frozen at year end 2021. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, $115.5 million and
$68.9 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 $113.4 million and $72.6 million, as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively,
and are recorded in other non-current assets.
59
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 $6.3 million and $6.5 million as of
January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, 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 and
fixed rate debt obligations of a European subsidiary, into a euro fixed rate obligations using a receive float, pay fixed cross
currency swap, and a receive 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, 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 losses recorded in
AOCI, net of tax, for forward contracts that will mature in the next 12 months total $0.7 million. These losses are expected to
be offset by anticipated gains 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 $2.8 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 2, 2022, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian
dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $148.2 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from
March 2022 to February 2023. Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy British
pounds and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $18.9 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from
March 2022 to February 2023.
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.
60
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 2, 2022, Teledyne had foreign currency contracts of
this type primarily 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 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in millions):

The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other income and expense for 2021
and 2020 was a expense of $21.9 million and a gain of $7.4 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
these derivative instruments. Both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual
terms of the instruments.

Cash payments for federal, foreign and state income taxes were $83.6 million for 2021, which are net of $22.4 million in
tax refunds. 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 interest and credit facility fees and other bank charges totaled $117.2 million,
$19.1 million and $23.4 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2021 amount included $30.5 million paid for bond
financing and debt extinguishment costs.
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.
Related Party Transactions
For all periods presented, the Company had no material related party transactions that required disclosure.

Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract
Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08), which clarifies that an acquirer of a business
should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which we generally expect will
result in the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities in a manner that is consistent with the
acquiree. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08, the Company measured contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in
business acquisitions at fair value. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 in the fourth quarter of 2021, with applicability to
the accounting for our 2021 business acquisitions and any future business acquisitions. The application of ASU 2021-08 did not
have a material effect on the recognition and measurement of acquired contract assets and contract liabilities associated with
our 2021 acquisition.
Note 3. Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
2021 Acquisition
On May 14, 2021, Teledyne acquired the outstanding stock of FLIR for approximately $8.1 billion, comprising of net

development through manufacturing and end-use applications. The acquired business is part of the Test and Measurement
product line of 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 original equipment manufacturer
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.
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

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.
63
The results of these acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of their respective acquisition.
Other
The primary reasons for the FLIR acquisition were to achieve synergies in merging with a business that has the same core
business model based on proprietary sensor technologies, but with different products and markets; the opportunity to add new
and complementary products with FLIR’s products based on different semiconductor technologies for imaging across different
wavelengths than Teledyne products, and the opportunity to serve different customers and applications, with minimal
overlapping technologies and markets; the expectation of combining two businesses that both provide sensors, cameras and
sensor systems to customers and both business portfolios being balanced among commercial and government markets and
geographies, but in the case of thermal imaging, with Teledyne primarily producing extremely high-performance infrared
detectors used for astronomy and space-based imaging applications compared to FLIR’s products ranging from air and ground
imaging systems to commercial thermography instruments and automotive advanced driver assistance systems; and the
opportunity to add FLIR’s suite of imaging sensor products based on different semiconductor technologies for different
wavelengths to Teledyne’s offerings.
The primary reasons for the 2020 and 2019 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. Teledyne funded the 2020 and 2019 acquisitions primarily from borrowings
under its credit facilities, issuance of senior notes and term loans and cash on hand.
The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill include the acquired businesses’ market positions, growth
opportunities in the markets in which they operate, their experienced work force and established operating infrastructures.
Teledyne’s goodwill was $7,986.7 million at January 2, 2022, and $2,150 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in the
balance of goodwill in 2021 primarily resulted from the FLIR acquisition. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were
$2,741.6 million at January 2, 2022, and $409.7 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in the balance of acquired intangible
assets in 2021 resulted from the FLIR acquisition, partially offset by amortization of acquired intangible assets. The
Company’s cost to acquire the 2021 and 2020 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 2021 FLIR 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.
The following tables show the purchase price (net of cash acquired), goodwill acquired for the FLIR, OakGate acquisition

The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation for FLIR. We are accounting for the FLIR
acquisition under the acquisition method and are required to measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the
acquiree at the fair values on the closing date. The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of
acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As of January 2, 2022,
the measurement period (not to exceed one year) is open; therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the
FLIR acquisition are subject to adjustment until the end of the respective measurement period. The Company is in the process
of specifically identifying the amounts assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the
related impact on taxes and goodwill for the FLIR acquisition. The Company is in the process of reviewing a third-party
64
valuation of certain intangible assets and tangible assets of FLIR. The fair values of acquired intangibles are determined based
on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. The amounts recorded as of January 2, 2022 are
preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.
Goodwill resulting from the FLIR acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The consideration included approximately $3.9 billion of Teledyne shares issued to existing shareholders of the acquired company. This $3.9 billion
of equity consideration is a non-cash transaction. An immaterial portion of the cash consideration for certain vested FLIR restricted stock awards
was deferred at the election of the award holder and will be paid out in future periods.
With significant operations in the United States, Europe and Canada, FLIR had sales of approximately $1,923.7 million
for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. FLIR’s results have been included since the date of the acquisition and include
$1,273.6 million in net sales and operating income of $80.4 million, which included $242.6 million in acquisition-related costs
for 2021 in the Digital Imaging segment.
In connection with the FLIR acquisition, in 2021, Teledyne incurred pretax expenses of $350.3 million, consisting of
$110.3 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense, $106.7 million recorded to cost of sales, primarily in acquired
inventory step-up expense, and $103.0 million of transaction and integration-related costs, recorded to selling, general and
administrative expenses and $30.6 million was recorded to interest and debt expense. Of these amounts, $242.6 million
impacted the Digital Imaging segment’s operating income and $77.1 million of transaction and integration-related costs
impacted corporate expense.
The unaudited proforma information below, as required by GAAP, assumes that FLIR had been acquired at the beginning
of the 2020 fiscal year and includes the effect of transaction accounting adjustments. These adjustments include the financing
and interest costs associated with debt to fund the acquisition, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation of the fair
value step-up of acquired property, plant and equipment, amortization of inventory fair value step-up (assumed to be fully
amortized in 2020), and tax related effects as well as the issuance of Teledyne common stock in connection with the
acquisition.
This unaudited proforma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition been in effect at the beginning of the
2020 fiscal year. In addition, the unaudited proforma results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not
reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that might be achievable.

(a) The above unaudited proforma information is presented for the FLIR acquisition as it is considered a material acquisition.
During fiscal year 2018, the Swedish Tax Authority (“STA”) issued a reassessment of tax for the year ending December
31, 2012 to one of FLIR’s non-operating subsidiaries in Sweden. The total taxes, penalties and interest levied by the STA totals
SEK 3.1 billion ($364.7 million based on exchange rates as of the acquisition date). The reassessment concerns the use of tax
credits applied against capital gains pursuant to European Union Council Directive 2009/133/EC, commonly referred to as the
EU Merger Directive, and the reassessment levied significant taxes and penalties. In March 2020, FLIR received an adverse
judgment from the First Instance Court of Sweden regarding the STA’s reassessment. FLIR appealed the decision to the
Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Sweden (the “ Appellate Court”). After completing an extensive analysis,
including consultation with outside specialists, Teledyne recorded a liability for this uncertain tax position that reflects the most
likely outcome for this tax matter under the acquisition method for business combinations in the third quarter of 2021, which is
included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Subsequently, the Appellate Court hearing was held on
September 15, 2021 and in the subsequent weeks ending on October 22, 2021, the STA and Teledyne submitted additional
arguments in writing, including closing arguments. On January 26, 2022, the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm,
Sweden generally affirmed the March 2020 ruling of the First Instance Court and determined an estimated tax liability in the
amount of SEK 2.765 billion. We paid the tax on February 2, 2022 totaling $296.4 million. We are evaluating the ruling.
The Company is in the process of reviewing and identifying acquisition accounting adjustments for a number of acquired
tax positions of FLIR that may meet the definition of an acquired uncertain tax position. In addition to the STA matter
described above, the Company has preliminarily recorded $177.5 million of provisional purchase accounting adjustments for
the accrual of other uncertain tax positions of FLIR. These amounts are included primarily within other long-term liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheet. These preliminary estimates are subject to change as the Company obtains additional
information on these matters and as additional information is made known during the post-acquisition measurement period.
The final acquisition accounting adjustments for these tax matter may be materially different, as Teledyne obtains additional
information on this matter and as additional information is made known during the post-acquisition measurement period.

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 expected future amortization expense for the next five
years is as follows (in millions): 2022 - $211.6; 2023 - $207.7; 2024 - $205.9; 2025 - $200.3; 2026 - $198.1.

The Company had an immaterial amount of cash equivalents at January 2, 2022, compared with $471.0 million in cash
equivalents at January 3, 2021. 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 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, 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 2, 2022
and January 3, 2021. The fair value of the Company’s credit facility, term loans and other debt, also described in Note 9, at
January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, approximated the carrying value due to the variable market rate used to calculate interest
67
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.

In 2021, Teledyne issued approximately 9.5 million shares in connection with the FLIR acquisition. See Note 3 to these
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the FLIR acquisition. Shares issued from treasury
stock include stock options exercised as well as shares issued under certain other compensation plans.
68
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.
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 2021, 2020 or 2019.
Stock Incentive Plans
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 then President and Chief Executive Officer and
Teledyne’s Executive Chairman, which were expensed immediately. The Company recorded $20.0 million, $24.7 million, and
$26.1 million for stock option expense, for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company issues shares of common stock
upon the exercise of stock options.
The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during 2021 and 2020 (which is the amount by which the stock price
exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) was $64.2 million and $96.9 million, respectively. At
January 2, 2022, the intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was $414.0 million and the intrinsic value of stock options
exercisable was $382.7 million. During 2021 and 2020, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was
$25.4 million and $36.3 million, respectively.
At January 2, 2022, there was $30.9 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 1.5 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. Under the 2018 to 2020 plan, and based on actual performance,
the Company issued 9,588 shares of Teledyne common stock in 2021. The maximum number of remaining shares that could be
issued in two equal installments in 2022 and 2023, is 35,082.
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-
based comparison. The Company recorded $6.2 million and $7.5 million in compensation expense related to the PSP program
for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2021, the Company discontinued the PSP.
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 S&P 500 Index for awards granted in 2021, the Russell 1000 Index for awards granted from 2018 to 2020 and
the Russell 2000 for awards granted prior to 2018. The Company recorded $3.5 million, $3.3 million and $3.0 million in
compensation expense related to restricted stock awards to employees, for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At
January 2, 2022, there was $3.5 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.

As part of the acquisition of FLIR, the Company assumed certain unvested restricted stock units that were issued by FLIR
in March 2021. The unvested restricted stock units were converted to 62,974 Teledyne restricted stock units. The post-
acquisition expense for these restricted stock units was $7.8 million for 2021. The expense related to these assumed restricted
stock units is included in the Digital Imaging segment results. This amount can be impacted by employee retirements and
terminations or other awards granted during the remainder of the year. At January 2, 2022, 49,351 restricted stock units are
outstanding and there was $14.4 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 2.2 years.

Non-employee directors each received restricted stock units valued at $130,000 in 2021 and $110,000 in 2020 and 2019
or valued at half the amount 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 $1.2 million for 2021, $1.1 million for 2020 and
$1.0 million for 2019.

The Company has no sinking fund requirements.
In the first quarter of 2021, Teledyne completed various financing activities related to the then pending acquisition of
FLIR. These activities included entering into a $4.5 billion short term stand-by bridge facility on January 4, 2021, as required
by the definitive agreement, resulting in debt expense of $17.2 million. In addition, on March 17, 2021 Teledyne called
$493.3 million of existing fixed rate senior notes and incurred debt extinguishment expenses of $13.4 million, which is included
in interest and debt expense, net. On March 22, 2021, Teledyne completed all permanent financing for the acquisition of FLIR
and terminated the $4.5 billion stand-by bridge facility. The permanent financing consists of $3.0 billion investment-grade
bonds (the “Notes”), including $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.65% Notes due 2023, $450.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 0.95% Notes due 2024, $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.60% Notes due 2026,
$700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Notes due 2028 and $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.75%
Notes due 2031. Teledyne may redeem the $450.0 million of 0.95% Notes due 2024 at any time or from time to time, in whole
or in part, at the Company’s option, from and after April 1, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes redeemed. In addition, we guaranteed FLIR’s $500.0 million, 2.50% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due August 2030.
Previously on March 4, 2021, Teledyne entered into a $1.0 billion Term Loan Credit Agreement (maturing May 2026) and an
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (maturing March 2026) with capacity of $1.15 billion. The terms of the $1.0 billion
Term Loan Credit Agreement allow for prepayments, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time, in whole or in
part without premium or penalty. Teledyne used the proceeds from the Notes together with the proceeds from the $1.0 billion
Term Loan Credit Agreement and cash on hand to pay the cash portion of the consideration for the FLIR acquisition and
refinance certain existing debt.
72
Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the $1.15 billion unsecured credit facility (“credit facility”) until it
matures in March 2026. Borrowings under our credit facility and term loans are at variable rates which are, at our option, tied
to a base rate, Eurocurrency rate or equivalent as defined in our credit agreements. Available borrowing capacity under the
credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $759.2 million at January 2, 2022.
The credit agreement and term loans requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at
January 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. At January 2, 2022, Teledyne had $281.9 million in
outstanding letters of credit. Of this amount, $244.6 million was released in February 2022.
Total interest expense including credit facility fees and other bank charges was $104.8 million in 2021, $15.8 million in
2020 and $22.0 million in 2019.
Note 10. Income Taxes
Income before income taxes included income from domestic operations of $108.0 million for 2021, $289.5 million for
2020 and $295.9 million for 2019. Income before taxes included income from foreign operations of $425.9 million for 2021,

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:
Long-term:
Accrued liabilities
Inventory valuation
Accrued vacation
Deferred compensation and other benefit plans
Postretirement benefits other than pensions

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. U.S. federal and applicable state income taxes have been accrued for deemed repatriations.
At January 2, 2022, the amount of undistributed foreign earnings was $619.8 million, for which we have not recorded a
deferred tax liability of approximately $1.3 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 decreased by $0.2 million in 2021, primarily related to the evidence for future
utilization of remaining investment tax credits, offset by acquisition-related valuation allowance.
At January 2, 2022, the Company had approximately $45.3 million of net operating loss carryforward primarily from the
Company’s entities in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Norway, of which $28.8 million have no expiration dates and
$16.5 million have expiration dates ranging from 2025 to 2040. The Company had Canadian capital loss carryforward in the
amount of $4.2 million which has no expiration date. Also the Company had aggregate Canadian federal and provincial
investment tax credits of $16.9 million, which have expiration dates ranging from 2030 to 2041. The Company had Spanish
federal research and development credit carryforward in the amount of $0.4 million, which have expiration dates ranging from
2025 to 2028. In addition, the Company had domestic federal and state net operating loss carryforward of $28.0 million and
$117.1 million, respectively. Generally, federal net operating loss carryforward amounts are limited in their use by earnings of
certain acquired subsidiaries. Of the $28.0 million federal net operation loss carryforward, $20.6 million have no expiration
dates and $7.4 million have expiration dates ranging from 2024 to 2037. The state net operating loss carryforward amounts
have expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2041. Finally, the Company had federal research and development credit
carryforward in the amount of $0.3 million which has an expiration date of 2037 and state tax credits of $17.9 million, of which
$14.1 million have no expiration date and $3.8 million have expiration dates ranging from 2023 to 2035.

In the next 12 months, the Company anticipates the total unrecognized tax benefit for various federal, state and foreign tax
items may be reduced by $19.1 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation for various federal, state and foreign tax
issues.
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 $2.4 million of expense, $0.1 million of expense and $0.3 million
of benefit, for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest and penalties in the amount of $160.8 million, $1.2 million and $1.1
million were recognized in the 2021, 2020 and 2019 statement of financial position, respectively. In 2021, interest and
penalties of $157.0 million were accrued as a result of the acquisition of FLIR. Substantially all of the unrecognized tax
benefits as of January 2, 2022, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate.
Current accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet included unrecognized tax benefits including accrued interest
and penalties of $341.0 million as of January 2, 2022, compared with no balance as of January 3, 2021. Teledyne paid
$296.4 million related to this current accrued liabilities balance on February 2, 2022.
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 2011, Canadian income tax
matters for all years through 2012, Swedish income tax matters for all years through 2011, Norwegian income tax matters for
all years through 2016, Belgian income tax matters for all years through 2018, French income tax matters for all years through
2018 and United Kingdom income tax matters for all years through 2019.
Note 11. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
Pension Plans
Teledyne has two domestic qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees hired before
January 1, 2004, excluding FLIR U.S. employees. All FLIR U.S. employees participate in a defined contribution plan, as FLIR
has no legacy U.S. Pension Plans. As of January 1, 2004, new Teledyne hires participate in a defined contribution plan only.
The Company also has several small domestic non-qualified and foreign-based defined benefit pension plans.
The domestic qualified pension plans allow participants to elect a lump-sum payment at retirement. In 2021, 2020 and
2019, the Company made lump sum payments of $24.5 million, $24.9 million and $17.2 million, respectively, from the
domestic qualified pension plans 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.

At year-end 2021 and 2020 the Company had an accumulated non-cash reduction to stockholders’ equity of $297.6
million and $347.8 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 $100.9 million at year
end 2021 and $110.5 million at year end 2020.
At January 2, 2022, the estimated amounts of the minimum liability adjustment that are expected to be recognized as
components of net periodic benefit cost during 2022 for the pension plans are: net loss $22.7 million and net prior service credit
$1.7 million.

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.

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 $15.2 million, $13.8 million and $13.4 million, for
2021, 2020 and 2019, 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. Total cost for these plans was less than
$1.0 million for each fiscal year 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Note 12. Business Segments
The Company has four reportable segments: Digital Imaging; Instrumentation; 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 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 electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) and high-performance, high-reliability semiconductors
including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. This segment also includes our sponsored and centralized research
laboratories which benefit government programs and commercial businesses. Teledyne acquired FLIR in May 2021, which is
reported in the Digital Imaging segment. FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of applications in government
and defense, industrial, and commercial markets. FLIR technologies include thermal imaging systems, visible-light imaging
systems, locater systems, measurement and diagnostic systems, and advanced threat-detection solutions. 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 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. Teledyne exited the cruise missile turbine engine business in the
first quarter of 2021.
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, 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
the COVID pandemic, beginning in 2020 the Company took actions to reduce headcount across various businesses, reducing
our exposure to weak end markets, such as commercial aerospace. We also exited certain facilities no longer needed. In 2021,
we took actions to integrate FLIR into our businesses resulting in higher severance and facility closure costs in the Digital
Imaging segment. At January 2, 2022, an immaterial amount remains to be paid related to these actions.

Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, acquired intangible assets, prepaid pension assets
and other long-term assets including deferred compensation assets but excluding any deferred tax assets. Until purchase
accounting for the FLIR acquisition is finalized, provisional amounts for goodwill and intangible assets are primarily included
in the United States. The all other countries category primarily consists of Teledyne’s other operations in Europe.

Sales to the U.S. Government included sales to the U.S. Department of Defense of $876.6 million in 2021, $578.4 million
in 2020, and $545.5 million in 2019. Total sales to international customers were $2,147.9 million in 2021, $1,385.3 million in
2020, and $1,391.6 million in 2019. Of these amounts, sales by operations in the United States to customers in other countries
were $723.9 million in 2021, $546.8 million in 2020, and $638.0 million in 2019. There were no sales to individual countries
outside of the United States in excess of 10 percent of the Company’s sales. Sales between business segments generally were
priced at prevailing market prices and were $20.2 million, $23.4 million and $30.3 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
We also disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by customer type and geographic region for each of our
segments, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are
affected by economic factors. With the exception of the Engineered Systems segment, net sales in our segments is primarily
derived from fixed price contracts. Net sales in the Engineered Systems segment is typically between 45% and 55% fixed price
contracts in a given reporting period, with the balance of net sales derived from cost type contracts. For the year ended January
2, 2022, approximately 47% of net sales in the Engineered Systems segment was derived from fixed price contracts.

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 operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating Leases
Teledyne has approximately 165 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 2, 2022, Teledyne has right-of-use assets of $144.5 million included in other long-term
other assets on the balance sheet.
At January 2, 2022, 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 7.8 years and the weighted average
discount rate is approximately 3.48% Rental expense under operating leases, including leases with a term of 12 months or less,
net of immaterial sublease income, was $40.9 million in 2021, $29.4 million in 2020 and $26.5 million in 2019. Cash paid for
amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $39.7 million for 2021 and $27.8 million for 2020.

Finance Leases and Subleases
Our finance leases and subleases are not material.
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.
At January 2, 2022, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.3 million, of which $1.7
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.
On April 24, 2018, FLIR entered into a Consent Agreement with the United States Department of State’s Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls to resolve allegations regarding the unauthorized export of technical data and defense services to dual
and third country nationals in certain of FLIR’s facilities, the failure to properly use and manage export licenses and export
authorizations, and failures to report certain payments under 22 CFR Part 130 in potential violation of International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). The Consent Agreement has a four-year term and provides for: (i) a civil penalty of $30.0 million
with $15.0 million of this amount suspended on the condition that the funds have or will be used for Department-approved
Consent Agreement remedial compliance measures, (ii) the appointment of an external Special Compliance Official to oversee
compliance with the Consent Agreement and the ITAR; (iii) two external audits of our ITAR compliance program; and (iv)
continued implementation of ongoing remedial compliance measures and additional remedial compliance measures related to
automated systems and ITAR compliance policies, procedures, and training. While FLIR has enhanced its trade compliance
program more broadly, implemented and continues to implement remedial measures and has undergone its first external audit
and just concluded its second external audit of FLIR’s ITAR compliance program, additional adverse disclosures and findings
could materially cause incurrence of additional expenses in connection with implementation of remedial measures and result in
a substantial adjustment to our revenue and net income. As of January 2, 2022, under the Consent Agreement, $3.5 million
remains to be paid by April 24, 2022. FLIR’s investments to date in remedial compliance measures have been more than
sufficient to cover the $15.0 million suspension amount.
In June 2017, the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) of the United States Department of Commerce informed FLIR
of additional export licensing requirements that restricted the FLIR’s ability to sell certain thermal products without a license to
customers in China not identified on a list maintained by the United States Department of Commerce. This action was
precipitated by concerns of sale without a license or potential diversion of some of FLIR’s products to prohibited end users and
to countries subject to economic and other sanctions implemented by the United States. BIS subsequently favorably modified
these restrictions to reduce the applicability of the restrictions to sales of FLIR's Tau camera cores (as opposed to finished
products containing Tau camera cores) to customers in China not identified on a list maintained by the United States
Department of Commerce and persons in a country other than those in the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) Country
Group A:5 (Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR). FLIR has identified certain shipments that potentially violate these
license requirements and voluntary disclosed this matter to BIS.
83
In April 2021, FLIR resolved allegations of misrepresentations made to BIS, between November 2012 and December
2013, in a commodity jurisdiction request relating to newly developed Lepton uncooled focal plane arrays by an administrative
settlement and fine of $0.3 million and agreeing to perform two internal audits of its EAR export compliance programs. The
first internal audit has been completed and another voluntary disclosure has been filed to report potential violations.
FLIR has made other voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Commerce, including
to BIS with respect to the shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not licensed due to incorrect de
minimis calculation methodology. If FLIR is found to have violated applicable rules and regulations with respect to customers
and limitations on the export and end use of its products, FLIR could be subject to substantial fines and penalties, suspension of
existing licenses or other authorizations and/or loss or suspension of export privileges.
At this time, based on available information, we are unable to reasonably estimate the time it may take to resolve these
matters or the amount or range of potential loss, penalty or other government action, if any, that may be incurred in connection
with these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome could result in substantial fines and penalties or loss or suspension of
export privileges or of particular authorizations that could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations
or cash flows in and following the period in which such an outcome becomes estimable or known.
Certain provisional adjustments have been made for the FLIR historical export compliance matters in Teledyne’s current
preliminary estimates of its purchase price allocation. The final acquisition accounting adjustments for these matters may be
materially different, as Teledyne obtains additional information on these matters and as additional information is made known
during the post-acquisition measurement period.
See Note 3 to these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding FLIR historical tax matters that
existed at the date of the acquisition, including the Swedish Tax Authority's reassessment of tax for the year ending December
31, 2012 related to one of FLIR’s non-operating subsidiaries in Sweden.
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 26, 2022, the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Sweden generally affirmed the March 2020
ruling of the First Instance Court and determined a tax liability in the amount of SEK 2.765 billion. We paid the tax on
February 2, 2022 totaling $296.4 million. We are evaluating the ruling. As a result of the payment, the Swedish Tax Authority
cancelled the standby letter of credit of $244.6 million.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTICE
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 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 relating to emission reduction targets, the expected
effects on Teledyne of the acquisition of FLIR and synergies
related to the transaction, anticipated capital expenditures and
product developments, and other strategic plans. 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
pandemic for businesses and governments around the world,
including production, supply, contractual and other disruptions,
facility closures, furloughs and travel restrictions; the inability to
achieve operating synergies with respect to the FLIR acquisition;
changes in relevant tax and other laws; risks associated with
indebtedness, as well as our ability to reduce indebtedness and the
timing thereof; the impact of semiconductor and other supply chain
shortages, higher inflation, including wage competition and higher
shipping costs, and labor shortages and competition for skilled
personnel; 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; 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 pandemic; impacts from the United Kingdom’s exit
from the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies of
the U.S. Presidential Administration; the imposition and expansion
of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; the continuing
review and resolution of FLIR’s export and tax matters; escalating
economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United
States; the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; threats
to the security of our confidential and proprietary information,
including cyber security threats; natural and man-made disasters,
including those related to or intensified by climate change; and
our ability to achieve emission reduction targets and decrease
our carbon footprint. 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 those implemented in response to climate change, could
further negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and
gas industry. 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.
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 2, 2022, 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.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are
made and are based on information available at that time. Teledyne
assumes no 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.
