TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2024
Note 1. General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, but resultant disclosures are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) as they apply to interim reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes in Teledyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Teledyne’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024 and the consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated cash flows for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Business Acquisitions
2024 Acquisitions
Refer to Note 15 for discussion of announced acquisitions or acquisitions completed after the end of the first quarter of 2024.
2023 Acquisitions
Xena Networks
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company acquired Xena Networks ApS and affiliates (“Xena Networks”) for $24.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and subject to certain adjustments. Xena Networks, headquartered in Denmark, is a leading provider of high-speed terabit ethernet validation, quality assurance, and production test solutions. Xena Networks is part of the test and measurement instrumentation product line within the Instrumentation segment. Goodwill resulting from the Xena Networks acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
ChartWorld
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company acquired ChartWorld International Limited and affiliates ("ChartWorld") for $53.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and subject to certain adjustments. ChartWorld, headquartered in Cyprus, with additional locations in Germany, Singapore, Canada and Japan, is a provider of digital marine navigation hardware and software provided through an affordable subscription-based model. ChartWorld is part of the Digital Imaging segment. Goodwill resulting from the ChartWorld acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company’s cost to acquire these acquisitions was 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 was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities for the Xena Networks 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. Pro forma results of operations, the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition date, and a more detailed breakout of the major classes of assets and liabilities acquired for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company's financial results. The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill for the 2023 acquisitions included the acquired businesses’ market positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which they operate, their experienced work force and established operating infrastructures. The results of these acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of their respective acquisition.
Note 3. Business Segments
Teledyne is a leading provider of sophisticated digital imaging products and software, instrumentation, aerospace and defense electronics, and engineered systems.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances
Approximately 70 % of the Company's net sales are recognized at a point in time, with the remaining 30 % of net sales recognized over time. The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by customer type and geographic region for each segment, as management believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

(c) Geographic region by destination
With the exception of the Engineered Systems segment, net sales in each segment are primarily derived from fixed price contracts. Net sales in the Engineered Systems segment are typically between 45 % and 55 % fixed price contracts in a given reporting period, with the balance of net sales derived from cost-reimbursable type contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 47 % of net sales in the Engineered Systems segment were derived from fixed price contracts.

| Total contract liabilities | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Company recognized revenue of $66.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 from contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of year.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed as of the period end date and exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity). As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,290.2 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.
Changes in Contract Estimates at Completion
For over time contracts using the cost-to-cost method, the Company has 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. The majority of revenue recognized over time uses an EAC process. Since certain contracts extend over a long 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 net aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method in the first three months of 2024 was $0.3 million of unfavorable operating income compared with $2.9 million of favorable operating income in the first three months of 2023. None of the effects of changes in estimates on any individual contract were material to the consolidated statements of income (loss) for any period presented.

An evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is required to be performed on an annual basis and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. There have been no events or changes in circumstances which indicate an interim impairment review is required in 2024. The Company will perform its annual analysis during the fourth quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair values of our borrowings were $2,945.5 million and $2,965.3 million, respectively, and the carrying values were $3,266.3 million and $3,266.0 million, respectively.
Note 8. Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon estimates of annual income, permanent items, statutory tax rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which we operate except that certain loss jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions and stock-based accounting income tax benefits, are treated separately.

Numerous foreign jurisdictions have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion, or Pillar Two, model rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). A minimum effective tax rate of 15% would apply to multinational companies with consolidated revenue above €750 million.
Under the Pillar Two rules, a company would be required to determine a combined effective tax rate for all entities located in a jurisdiction. If the jurisdictional effective tax rate determined under the Pillar Two is less than 15%, a top-up tax will be due to bring the jurisdictional effective tax rate up to 15%. The Company is continuing to monitor the pending implementation of
12
Pillar Two by individual countries and the potential effects of Pillar Two on our business. The Company does not expect the provisions effective in 2024 will have a materially adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) levies a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. If the Company were to repurchase shares, the excise tax would be recorded as a cost of acquiring treasury stock and is not material. Additionally, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the CAMT to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Note 13. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company's primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s primary foreign currency risk management objective is to protect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
14
The Company mitigates exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates primarily through the following:
| Mitigation Approach | Quantitative Information on Approach | |||||||||||||
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. | As of March 31, 2024, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $ | |||||||||||||
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. These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges. | See Non-Designated Hedging Activities section below. | |||||||||||||
The Company has converted a U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate debt obligation of a European subsidiary into euro fixed rate obligation using a receive float, pay fixed cross currency swap to reduce the variability of interest rates. This cross currency swap is designated as cash flow hedge. | As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a cross currency swap outstanding with a notional amount of € | |||||||||||||
All derivative instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
Designated Hedging Activities
For a derivative instrument designated as an accounting hedge of an anticipated transaction (a cash flow hedge), the change in the fair value is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in AOCI to the extent the derivative instrument is effective in mitigating the exposure related to the anticipated transaction. The amount recorded within AOCI is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 was as follows (in millions):
| First Quarter | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

(a) Effective portion, pre-tax
(b) Amount reclassified to offset earnings impact of liability hedged by cross currency swap
Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI for the forward contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $1.0 million, net of taxes. These gains are expected to be offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts related to the cross currency swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the next twelve months total $3.5 million.
15
Non-Designated Hedging Activities
For a derivative instrument that has not been designated as an accounting hedge, the change in the fair value is recognized immediately in earnings. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts not designated as accounting hedges primarily in the following types and pairs (in millions):
| Contracts to Buy | Contracts to Sell | |||||||||||||||||||
| Currency | Amount | Currency | Amount | |||||||||||||||||

The preceding table includes non-designated hedges derived from terms contained in previously designated cash flow hedges. The gains and losses on these derivatives instruments which are not designated as accounting hedges are intended to, at a minimum, partially offset the transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings.
The effect of derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges recognized in other income and expense for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 was expense of $9.3 million. The effect of derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in other income and expense for the first quarter ended April 2, 2023 was income of $7.8 million. The income or expense was largely offset by losses or gains in the value of the underlying hedged item excluding the impact of forward points.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
Trade Compliance Matters
The Company has made voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, including to the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) with respect to Teledyne FLIR shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not licensed due to incorrect de minimis calculation methodology under the Export Administration Regulations. The Company has also made voluntary disclosures to export authorities in jurisdictions outside the U.S. for certain potential violations of local export laws. 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 outcome becomes estimable or known.
16
Environmental Remediation Obligations
At March 31, 2024, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $5.5 million, of which $1.7 million is included in current accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $5.4 million. The Company 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 pay the amounts recorded over many years and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.
Legal Matters
Note 15. Subsequent Events
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire Adimec Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Adimec”). Adimec, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands, develops customized high-performance industrial and scientific cameras. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to customary conditions and approvals, is anticipated to occur in the first half of 2024. Adimec will be part of the Digital Imaging segment.
On April 10, 2024, the Company acquired Valeport Holdings 2019 Limited and its affiliates ("Valeport"). Valeport, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Totnes, United Kingdom, designs and manufactures underwater sensors for environmental, energy, construction and defense applications. Valeport is part of the marine instrumentation product line within the Instrumentation segment.
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2024, the Company made a $450 million debt maturity payment on the Senior Notes due April 2024.
On April 23, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.25 billion of Teledyne’s common stock. This authorization superseded prior open stock repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Teledyne provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research. Our products include digital imaging sensors, cameras and systems within the visible, infrared and X-ray spectra, monitoring and control instrumentation for marine and environmental applications, harsh environment interconnects, electronic test and measurement equipment, aircraft information management systems, and defense electronics and satellite communication subsystems. We also supply engineered systems for defense, space, environmental and energy applications. 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 our technological capabilities, 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
Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our four business segments: Digital Imaging, Instrumentation, Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Engineered Systems. The markets in which we sell our enabling technologies 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 business with targeted acquisitions and through product development. We continue to focus on balanced and disciplined capital deployment among capital expenditures, acquisitions, product development and once again stock repurchases. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings by emphasizing cost containment and evaluating 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 through targeted research and development, we seek to create new products to grow our company and expand our addressable markets. We continually evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.
Consistent with our strategy, we completed two acquisitions in 2023. The financial results of the completed acquisitions have been included since the respective date of each acquisition. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2024, we completed one acquisition, which is part of the Instrumentation segment. See Note 2 and Note 15 for additional information about our recent acquisitions.
Trends Affecting Our Business and Other Matters
We had previously assumed no full year sales growth in industrial automation as well as test and measurement markets. However, those markets weakened more than planned in the first quarter, and we now forecast full year sales for products in these markets to decline meaningfully in 2024.
We have experienced supply chain challenges, including long lead times, as well as cost inflation for parts and components, logistics and labor due to availability constraints and high demand. These supply chain challenges have also delayed our ability to timely convert backlog to revenue. Although perhaps to a lesser extent compared to recent years, we expect cost inflation impacts and supply chain constraints to continue into 2024.
Sales recorded and costs incurred recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the United States are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. See Note 13 for additional discussion around our derivative instruments and hedging activities used to mitigate these impacts.
To date, we have not been materially impacted by the conflict in Israel and its effect on neighboring regions. We do not have material assets in Israel. Our total net sales from Israel in the first three months of 2024 and the full year 2023 was approximately 1% of total net sales, respectively. It is too early to determine the full extent of the impact this conflict could have on our business and our operations, including the impact to our suppliers from these regions, and our assessment of the potential impacts is ongoing.
As part of a continuing effort to reduce costs and improve operating performance, we may take and have taken actions to consolidate and relocate certain facilities and reduce headcount across various businesses, reducing our exposure to weaker end markets. We continue to seek cost reductions in our businesses.

First Quarter Results
The following is a discussion of our 2024 first quarter results compared with the first quarter results of 2023. Comparisons are with the corresponding reporting period of 2023, unless noted otherwise.
First quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023
Our first quarter of 2024 net sales decreased 2.4%. Net income attributable to Teledyne for the first quarter of 2024 decreased 0.1%. Net income per diluted share was $3.72 for the first quarter of 2024, compared with net income per diluted share of $3.73.
Net Sales
The first quarter of 2024 net sales, compared with the first quarter of 2023, reflected lower net sales in each segment other than the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased $20.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 primarily driven by lower net sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly for the first quarter of 2024 to 57.0% from 57.2%.
19
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A expense, including research and development expense, decreased $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales was 21.9% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 21.8%. Corporate expense, which is included in SG&A expense, was $20.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared with $17.4 million, with the increase primarily related to higher compensation expense, including higher stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense was $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared with $7.9 million. The first quarter of 2024 also included $2.2 million of FLIR-related integration costs, including employee separation costs, facility consolidation costs and facility lease impairments with no comparable amount in the previous year.
Acquired Intangible Asset Amortization
Acquired intangible asset amortization for the first quarter of 2024 was $49.4 million compared with $49.7 million.
Pension Service Expense
Pension service expense is included in both cost of sales and SG&A expense. For the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, pension service expense was $1.5 million. For 2024, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation for the domestic qualified pension plans is 6.86% compared with 5.71% in 2023.
Operating Income
Operating income for the first quarter of 2024 decreased 3.4%. The first quarter of 2024, compared with the first quarter of 2023, reflected lower operating income in the Digital Imaging and Engineered Systems segment, partially offset by higher operating income in the Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Instrumentation segments.
Non-operating Income and Expense
Interest and debt expense, net of interest income, was $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared with $21.0 million, with the decrease related to reduced outstanding borrowings with lower weighted average interest rates compared to the first quarter of 2023. Non-service retirement benefit income was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared with $3.3 million. Other income and expense, net was income of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared with expense of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, with the difference primarily related foreign exchange gains in the first quarter of 2024 compared with foreign exchange losses in the first quarter of 2023.
Income Tax
The first quarter income tax provision considers income, permanent items, tax credits, and various statutory tax rates. In both years, the first quarter discrete impact is primarily tax on stock-based compensation.

First quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023
Net sales decreased primarily due to lower sales of industrial imaging cameras due to end market weakness as well as lower sales of micro-electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”), partially offset by higher sales of infrared detectors and subsystems as well as unmanned systems.
Cost of sales decreased primarily due to decreased net sales partially offset by product mix. As a result of less favorable product mix, the cost of sales percentage increased during the period. SG&A expense and SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily due to lower research and development costs, partially offset by higher severance and facility consolidation cost.

First quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023
Net sales decreased due to lower sales at our test and measurement instrumentation and environmental instrumentation product lines, partially offset by increased sales in our marine instrumentation product line. Sales of marine instrumentation increased $19.6 million due to the ongoing recovery in offshore energy markets. Sales of test and measurement instrumentation and environmental instrumentation decreased $15.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, due to end market weakness.
Cost of sales decreased primarily due to lower net sales. The cost of sales percentage decreased due to favorable product mix, including increased margins in our marine instrumentation product line. SG&A expense increased slightly due to higher research and development expense in the period, and SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales also increased slightly.
Operating income increased primarily due to stronger marine instrumentation sales and improved margins, and operating income as a percentage of net sales increased due to improved product margins at marine instrumentation.

Operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily due to program mix and unfavorable estimate changes related to electronic manufacturing services contracts.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
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. We may deploy cash for the stock repurchase program. It is anticipated that cash on hand, operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under our $1.15 billion credit facility, will be sufficient to meet these requirements. To support acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. No cash pension contributions
22
have been made since 2013 or are planned for the remainder of 2024 for the domestic qualified pension plans.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $912.4 million at March 31, 2024 compared with $648.3 million at December 31, 2023. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Long-term Debt
Total debt at March 31, 2024 was $3,246.3 million compared with $3,244.9 million at December 31, 2023. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2024, the Company made a $450 million debt maturity payment on the Senior notes due April 2024.
At March 31, 2024, $1,128.2 million was available under the $1.15 billion credit facility, after reductions of $21.8 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Our bank credit agreements, which includes our $1.15 billion credit facility expiring March 2026 and our $150.0 million term loan due October 2024, require us to comply with various financial and operating covenants. At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
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 entities or unconsolidated entities.
We may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Stock Repurchases
In April 2024, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.25 billion of Teledyne’s common stock. This authorization superseded prior open stock repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors. The newly authorized stock repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or
via an accelerated stock repurchase program. Shares could be repurchased in a plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The repurchase program is expected to remain open continuously, and the number of shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors, such as share price, levels of cash available, acquisitions and alternative investment opportunities available immediately or longer-term, and other regulatory, market or economic conditions. The Company currently intends to fund future share repurchases with cash on hand and available borrowings under the Company's credit facility. No repurchases under any authorizations were made in the first quarter of 2024.
Cash Flows:
Net cash provided by operating activities was $291.0 million for the first three months of 2024 compared with $203.0 million, driven primarily by stronger working capital conversion in the first three months of 2024.
Net cash used in investing activities was $15.9 million for the first three months of 2024 compared with $76.9 million. During the first three months of 2024, we spent $0.0 million on acquisitions as compared with $52.5 million. Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2024 and 2023 were $15.9 million and $24.4 million, respectively. We currently plan to invest approximately $100 million for capital expenditures in 2024.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.1 million for the first three months of 2024 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $103.4 million, with the first three months of 2023 including a $100.0 million payment on our credit facility.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting policies are the following: accounting for revenue recognition; accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and acquired intangible assets; and accounting for income taxes.
For additional discussion of the application of the critical accounting policies and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to these condensed consolidated Financial Statements and also Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Teledyne’s 2023 Form 10-K.
Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
From time to time we make, and this report contains, forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, directly or indirectly relating to sales, earnings, operating margin, growth opportunities, acquisitions, product sales, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, pension matters, stock-based compensation expense, the credit facility, interest expense, severance, relocation and facility consolidation costs, environmental remediation costs, taxes, exchange rate fluctuations and strategic plans. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “believe” or “expect”, that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in
23
this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other sections of this Form 10-Q 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 anticipated results, including: changes in relevant tax and other laws; foreign currency exchange risks; rising interest rates; 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; 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; disruptions in the global economy; the ongoing conflict in Israel and neighboring regions, including related protests and the disruption to global shipping routes; the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including the impact to energy prices and availability, especially in Europe; 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 inflation, rising interest costs, and economic conditions; impacts from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; uncertainties related to the 2024 U.S. Presidential election; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; the continuing review and resolution of FLIR’s trade compliance and tax matters; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cybersecurity threats; risks related to artificial intelligence; 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. Weakness in the commercial aerospace industry negatively affects the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. Ongoing issues with Boeing’s 737 MAX product line could result in manufacturing delays and lower sales of our products to Boeing. 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 our 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 internationally, 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.
Readers are urged to read our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete description of our company, its businesses, its strategies and the various risks that we face. Various risks are identified in our 2023 Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. We assume 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes to the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
24
procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2024, are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In connection with our evaluation during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, we have made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
