Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Strategy/Overview

Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our core markets of instrumentation, digital imaging, aerospace and defense electronics and engineered systems. Our core markets are characterized by high barriers to entry and include specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. We intend to strengthen and expand our core businesses with targeted acquisitions. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings. 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.

Consistent with this strategy, we made five acquisitions in 2012. We acquired VariSystems Inc. ("VariSystems") in the first quarter, a majority interest in the parent company of Optech Incorporated ("Optech") in the second quarter, and LeCroy Corporation ("LeCroy"), the parent company of PDM Neptec Limited ("PDM Neptec") and BlueView Technologies, Inc. ("BlueView") in the third quarter. In the first six months of 2011, we acquired DALSA Corporation ("DALSA") and a majority interest in Nova Sensors, Inc. and acquired a minority interest investment in Optech. We also continue to evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy. On April 19, 2011, we completed the sale of our general aviation piston engine businesses, which comprised the former Aerospace Engines and Components segment. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements classify the Aerospace Engines and Components segment as a discontinued operation.

Our Recent Acquisitions

On February 25, 2012, Teledyne acquired VariSystems for $34.9 million, net of $2.1 million in cash acquired. Teledyne paid a $1.4 million purchase price adjustment in the second quarter of 2012. VariSystems, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a leading supplier of custom harsh environment interconnects used in energy exploration and production. VariSystems had sales of CAD $27.5 million for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. VariSystems, Inc. now operates under the name Teledyne VariSystems and is part of the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment.

On April 2, 2012, Teledyne acquired a majority interest in the parent company of Optech for $27.9 million, net of $4.8 million in cash acquired. The purchase increased Teledyne's ownership percentage to 51 percent from the original 19 percent interest purchased in the first quarter of 2011. With the April 2012 purchase, we now consolidate Optech's financial results into Teledyne's results with an appropriate adjustment for the minority ownership. Optech is reported as part of the Digital Imaging segment.

On February 12, 2011, the Company acquired the stock of DALSA for an aggregate purchase price of $339.5 million in cash. DALSA operates within the Digital Imaging segment.

For a further description of the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity for the year ended January 1, 2012, please refer to Notes 3 and 16 of our 2011 Form 10-K ("2011 Form 10-K").

On August 3, 2012 Teledyne acquired LeCroy. Teledyne acquired all of the outstanding common shares of LeCroy for $14.30 per share payable in cash. The aggregate value for the transaction is approximately $301 million, taking into account LeCroy's stock options, stock appreciation rights and net debt as of the acquisition date. Teledyne funded the purchase primarily from borrowings under its credit facility. LeCroy is part of the Instrumentation segment and operates as Teledyne LeCroy Inc.

On August 3, 2012, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired the parent company of PDM Neptec Limited for GBP 3.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Teledyne funded the purchase from cash on hand. PDM Neptec, located in Hampshire, United Kingdom, is part of the Instrumentation segment and operates as Teledyne Impulse-PDM Ltd. PDM Neptec had sales of GBP 5.5 million for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

In the third quarter of 2012, on July 2, 2012, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired BlueView for $16.4 million in cash. BlueView, located in Seattle, Washington, is part of the Instrumentation segment and operates as Teledyne Blue View, Inc.

Second quarter of 2012 compared with the second quarter of 2011

Our second quarter 2012 sales were $518.5 million, compared with sales of $502.9 million for the same period of 2011, an increase of 3.1%. Net income from continuing operations was $39.5 million ($1.06 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2012, compared with $38.7 million ($1.04 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 2.1%. Net income including discontinued operations was $39.5 million ($1.06 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2012, compared with $152.3 million ($4.08 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2011. The second quarter of 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of $113.6 million.

The second quarter of 2012, compared with the same period in 2011, reflected higher sales in the Instrumentation and Digital Imaging segments, partially offset by lower sales in the Aerospace and Defense Electronics and the Engineered Systems segments. Incremental revenue in the second quarter of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $23.8 million.

Segment earnings decreased to $67.4 million for the second quarter of 2012, from $71.0 million for the same period of 2011, and reflected lower results in each business segment except the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment. Segment earnings reflected expenses related to new product development and acquisition related expenses. The incremental operating profit included in the results for the second quarter of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $0.9 million and included $1.3 million in acquisition related transaction costs.

The second quarter of 2012 included pension expense of $1.6 million, compared with pension expense of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in 2012 pension expense is primarily due to a change in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS") was $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2011.

In the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, we recorded a total of $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense. Employee stock option grants are expensed evenly over the three year vesting period.

             Cost of sales % of sales                66.2 %        65.7 %

Cost of sales increased by $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the second quarter of 2011, which primarily reflected the impact of higher sales and higher pension expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2012 increased slightly to 66.2% from 65.7% in the second quarter of 2011 and reflected higher pension expense, product mix differences and lower margins for environmental instruments as well as expenses related to new product development in marine instrumentation.

Certain contracts are accounted for under the percentage of completion ("POC") method and related contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the POC accounting method, in the second quarters of 2012 and 2011 were $5.9 million and $1.4 million of favorable operating income and $6.8 million and $1.6 million of unfavorable operating income, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased by $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the second quarter of 2011, and primarily reflected the impact of higher sales, $1.3 million in acquisition related expenses and $0.6 million in higher stock option compensation expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2012, as a percentage of sales, increased to 22.3%, compared with 22.0% in the second quarter of 2011 and reflected the impact of acquisition related expenses and higher stock option compensation expense. Corporate expense was $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared with $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, and reflected lower professional fees and compensation expense.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in interest expense primarily reflected the impact of lower outstanding debt levels. Other income and expense in the second quarter of 2012 included foreign currency translation gains of $0.1 million compared with $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2011. Other income and expense in the second quarter of 2012 also included a $0.6 million gain on the purchase of the majority interest in Optech.


Table of Contents

The Company's effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 30.5% compared with 34.5% for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease primarily reflected a change in the proportion of domestic and international income, as well as a refinement of uncertain tax positions within the quarter. Excluding any tax credits and other adjustments, the tax rate was 30.7% for the second quarter of 2012.

First six months of 2012 compared with the first six months of 2011

Teledyne's first six months 2012 sales were $1,012.5 million, compared with sales of $971.0 million for the same period of 2011, an increase of 4.3%. Net income from continuing operations was $75.2 million ($2.02 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2012, compared with $71.2 million ($1.91 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2011, an increase of 5.6%. Net income including discontinued operations, was $75.2 million ($2.02 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2012, compared with $184.3 million ($4.94 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2011. The first six months of 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of $113.1 million, which includes a gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $113.8 million.

The first six months of 2012, compared with the same period in 2011, reflected higher sales in the Instrumentation and Digital Imaging segments and lower sales in the Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Engineered Systems segments. Incremental revenue in the first six months of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $56.7 million.

Segment earnings decreased to $132.4 million for the first six months of 2012, from $135.1 million for the same period of 2011, and reflected lower results in the Instrumentation and Engineered Systems segments, partially offset by higher earnings in the Digital Imaging and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments. Segment earnings reflected expenses related to new product development and acquisition related expenses. The incremental operating profit included in the results for the first six months of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $3.4 million and included $1.5 million in acquisition related transaction costs.

The first six months of 2012 included pension expense of $3.3 million, compared with $3.7 million in the first six months of 2011. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS") was $5.9 million in the first six months of 2012, compared with $6.0 million in the first six months of 2011. The decrease in 2012 pension expense was primarily due to the impact of voluntary cash contributions to the domestic pension plan and prior year earnings on plan assets.

In the first six months of 2012 and 2011, we recorded a total of $3.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense.
