NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

October 3, 2021

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 January 3, 2021 (“2020 Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of Teledyne’s 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 October 3, 2021 and the consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income for the third quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2021 and the consolidated cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended October 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year. 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 the face of the balance sheet. Long-term deferred tax liabilities was previously included in other long-term liabilities.

Acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc.

On May 14, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”), and the financial results of FLIR have been included since the date of the acquisition. See Note 2 to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the FLIR acquisition.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. 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. Cash equivalents totaled $38.1 million at October 3, 2021 and $471.0 million at January 3, 2021.

Note 2. Business Combinations, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

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, net Teledyne share issuances of $3.9 billion, 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 at $409.41 per share. See Note 10 to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding financing activities undertaken in connection with the FLIR acquisition.

Founded in 1978, 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 markets. FLIR develops technologies that enhance perception and awareness. FLIR designs, develops, markets, and distributes solutions that detect people, objects and substances that may not be perceived by human senses and improve the way people interact with the world around them. FLIR technologies include thermal imaging systems, visible-light imaging systems, locater systems, measurement and diagnostic systems, and advanced threat-detection solutions. FLIR is part of the Digital Imaging segment.

The primary reasons for the FLIR acquisition were as follows:

•the 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 with Teledyne primarily producing extremely high-performance infrared detectors used for astronomy and space-based imaging applications compared to FLIR’s products focused on helicopters to soldiers to firefighters throughout commercial tomography and automotive advanced driver systems;

•the opportunity to add FLIR’s suite of imaging sensor products based on different semiconductor technologies for different wavelengths to Teledyne’s offerings;

The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill were: (a) the purchase price was based on cash flow and return on capital projections assuming integration with our businesses and (b) the calculation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired that qualified for recognition. Goodwill resulting from the FLIR acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

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 October 3, 2021, 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 obtaining 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 October 3, 2021 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.


Fair values allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed - FLIR (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents	$	287.7
Accounts receivables, net	240.2
Unbilled receivables, net	72.2
Inventories, net	556.4
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	106.1
Total current assets	1,262.6

Property, plant and equipment	391.7
Goodwill	5,795.0
Acquired intangible assets	2,400.0
Other long-term assets	131.4
Total assets acquired	$	9,980.7

Accounts payable	144.6
Accrued liabilities	601.5
Total current liabilities assumed	746.1

Long-term debt, net	496.8
Long-term deferred tax liabilities	647.5
Other long-term liabilities	181.7
Total liabilities assumed	2,072.1
Consideration transferred	$	7,908.6

Consideration transferred, net of cash acquired (a)	$	7,620.9

(a) The consideration transferred 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.

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 ($351.5 million USD). 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 Condensed 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. An adverse tax ruling by the Appellate Court related to a pre-acquisition assessment by the STA against a FLIR subsidiary would materially impact our cash flow.

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 $51.2 million of provisional purchase accounting adjustments for the accrual of other uncertain tax positions of FLIR. These amounts are included within other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed 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.

The following table is a summary at the acquisition date of the acquired intangible assets and weighted average useful life in years for the FLIR acquisition made in 2021 (dollars in millions):


Intangibles subject to amortization:(a)	Intangible Assets		Weighted average useful life in years
Proprietary technology	$	1,412.0	10.0
Customer list/relationships	380.0		12.0
Backlog	8.0		0.8
Total intangibles subject to amortization	1,800.0		10.4
Intangibles not subject to amortization:(a)
Trademarks	600.0
Total acquired intangible assets	$	2,400.0

a) The amounts recorded as of October 3, 2021 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.

With significant operations in the United States, Europe and Canada, FLIR had sales of approximately $1,932.7 million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. FLIR’s results have been included since the date of the acquisition and include $775.0 million in net sales and operating income of $56.6 million, which included $152.5 million in acquisition-related costs for the nine months ended October 3, 2021. The third quarter of 2021, includes $473.6 million in net sales and operating income of $35.2 million, which included $82.3 million in acquisition-related costs.

In connection with the FLIR acquisition, in the third quarter of 2021, Teledyne incurred pretax expenses of $82.6 million, consisting of $45.6 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense, $35.2 million in acquired inventory step-up expense, recorded to cost of sales and $1.8 million of transaction and integration-related costs, recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses. Of these amounts, $82.3 million impacted Digital Imaging segment’s operating income. In the first nine months of 2021, Teledyne incurred pretax expenses of $259.8 million, consisting of $68.4 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense, $58.9 million recorded to cost of sales, primarily in acquired inventory step-up expense, and $101.9 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, $152.5 million impacted the Digital Imaging segment’s operating income and $76.7 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 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, and amortization of inventory fair value step-up (assumed to be fully amortized in 2020) as well as the issuance of Teledyne common stock in connection with the acquisition. These costs are considered non-recurring costs that were necessary to complete the acquisition and are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

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.

The following table presents proforma net sales, net income and earnings per share data assuming FLIR was acquired at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year:

Acquisition of the OakGate Technology, Inc.

On January 5, 2020, we acquired OakGate Technology, Inc. (“OakGate”) for $28.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Based in Loomis, California, OakGate provides software and hardware designed to test electronic data storage devices from development through manufacturing and end-use applications. OakGate is part of the Test and Measurement product line of the Instrumentation segment. Teledyne funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The results of the OakGate acquisition have been included in Teledyne’s results since the date of the acquisition. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of OakGate is not deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Teledyne’s goodwill was $7,899.5 million at October 3, 2021 and $2,150.0 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2021 related primarily to goodwill recognized in the FLIR acquisition. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $2,705.2 million at October 3, 2021 and $409.7 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in the balance of net acquired intangible assets primarily reflected the acquired intangible assets acquired in the FLIR acquisition.

Acquired intangible assets are summarized as follows:

Note 4. Derivative Instruments

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 management 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 revenues and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, and in British pounds for our UK companies. These contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company has also converted U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate and fixed rate obligations 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 is assessed prospectively and retrospectively 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 hedges 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 AOCI in stockholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income, at which time the effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI,

Table of Contents

net of tax, for the forward contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $0.7 million. These gains are expected to be offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts related to the cross currency swaps and interest rate swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the next twelve months total $1.4 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 or 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.

As of October 3, 2021, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $115.9 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from December 2021 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 $19.2 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from December 2021 to November 2022. The cross currency swaps have notional amounts of €113.0 million and $125.0 million, and €135.0 million and $150.0 million, and mature in March 2023 and October 2024, respectively. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $125.0 million and matures in March 2023.

In addition, Teledyne manages the risk of changes in the fair value of certain monetary liabilities attributable to changes in exchange rates. Teledyne manages these risks by using currency forward contracts formally designated and effective as fair value hedges. Hedge effectiveness is generally determined by evaluating the alignment of the hedging instrument's critical terms with the critical terms of the hedged item. The forward points attributable to the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and amortized to other income or expense, net using a systematic and rational methodology. Differences between the change in the fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized under the systematic and rational method are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The change in fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to the hedged risk is reported in the other income or expense, net. The change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is reported as an adjustment to its carrying value and also in other income or expense, net. At October 3, 2021 Teledyne had no forward contracts designated as fair value hedges.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020 was as follows (in millions):

Non-Designated Hedging Activities

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 October 3, 2021, Teledyne had non-designated foreign currency contracts of this type, primarily in the following pairs (in millions):


Contracts to Buy			Contracts to Sell
Currency	Amount			Currency	Amount
Canadian Dollars	$	171.1		U.S. Dollars	US$	135.9
Canadian Dollars	$	16.7		Euros	€	11.2


Great Britain Pounds	£	67.1		U.S. Dollars	US$	93.2


Euros	€	154.8		U.S. Dollars	US$	183.9


Danish Krone	DKR	337.6		U.S. Dollars	US$	54.0

U.S. Dollars	US$	27.1		Swedish Krona	SEK	232.7
Norwegian Krone	kr	226.4		Swedish Krona	SEK	224.5

The preceding 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. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other income and expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2021 was expense of $11.7 million and expense of $16.5 million, respectively. The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges in other income and expense for the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 was income of $3.0 million and expense of $5.5 million, respectively. 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.

Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments

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.

Table of Contents

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below. All fair values for these derivatives were measured using Level 2 information as defined by the accounting standard hierarchy (in millions):

Note 5. Earnings Per Share

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, no stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, 239,422 and 242,602 stock options, respectively, were excluded in the computation of earnings per share because they had exercise prices that were greater than the weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock price during the respective period. As part of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of FLIR, the Company issued approximately 9.5 million shares of common stock on May 14, 2021 which increased the weighted average number of shares during the period. The weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share consisted of the following (in millions):


	Third Quarter		Nine Months
	2021	2020	2021	2020

Weighted average basic common shares outstanding	46.6	36.8	42.0	36.7
Effect of dilutive securities (primarily stock options)	1.1	1.0	1.1	1.1
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding	47.7	37.8	43.1	37.8

Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Teledyne has long-term incentive plans pursuant to which it has granted non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and performance shares to certain employees. The Company also has non-employee Board of Director stock compensation plans, pursuant to which common stock, stock options and restricted stock units have been issued to its directors.

Stock Incentive Plan

Stock option compensation expense was $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2021 and was $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. Stock option compensation expense was $13.6 million for the first nine months of 2021 and was $18.8 million for the first nine months of 2020. Employee stock option grants are charged to expense evenly over the three year vesting period except for stock options granted after 2018 to Teledyne’s current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Teledyne’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, which are expensed immediately. For 2021, the Company currently expects approximately $20.5 million in stock option compensation. This amount can be impacted by employee retirements and terminations or stock options granted during the remainder of the year. The Company issues shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Table of Contents

The following assumptions were used in the valuation of the stock options granted in 2021:


	2021
Expected volatility	27.8	%
Risk-free interest rate range	0.09% to 1.58%
Expected life in years	5.2
Expected dividend yield	—

Based on the assumptions used in the valuation of stock options, the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted in the first nine months of 2021 was $135.59 per share.

Stock option transactions for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 are summarized as follows:


	2021
	Third Quarter			Nine Months
	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Beginning balance	1,677,689	$	172.69	1,819,147	$	170.10

Exercisable at end of period	1,366,280	$	116.55	1,366,280	$	116.55

Performance Share Plan

In the first quarter of 2018, the performance cycle for the three-year period ending December 31, 2020, was set. Under the plan and based on actual performance, Teledyne issued 9,588 shares of its common stock in the first quarter 2021. A total of 35,033 shares remain to be issued in two equal installments in 2022 and 2023.

Restricted Stock Award Program

The following table shows the restricted stock activity for the first nine months of 2021:


	Shares	Weighted average fair value per share
Balance, January 3, 2021	43,405	$	228.80
Granted (includes restricted stock units converted in connection with the FLIR acquisition)	73,201	$	399.00
Vested	(23,499)	$	256.64
Forfeited/Canceled	(3,727)	$	384.80
Balance, October 3, 2021	89,380	$	354.37

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 $1.8 million and $6.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, and is expected to be $7.9 million for fiscal year 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.

Note 7. Inventories

Inventories are stated at current cost, net of reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. Inventories are valued under the FIFO method, LIFO method or average cost method. Inventories at cost determined on the average cost or the FIFO methods were $804.8 million at October 3, 2021 and $324.8 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in the inventory balance in 2021 reflects the inventory acquired in connection with the FLIR acquisition. The remainder of the inventories using the LIFO method is $34.7 million at October 3, 2021 and $29.2 million at January 3, 2021. Interim LIFO calculations are based on the Company’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs since an actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Because these estimates are subject to many factors beyond the Company’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory

Note 8. Customer Contracts

Estimate at Completion Process

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 and cost, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Since certain contracts extend over multiple reporting periods, 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 reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The majority of revenue recognized over time uses an EAC process. The net aggregate effects of changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method in the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $16.9 million of favorable operating income, primarily related to favorable changes in estimates that impacted revenue within the Digital Imaging segment. The net aggregate effects of changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method in the first nine months of 2020 was approximately $16.6 million of favorable operating income, primarily related to favorable changes in estimates that impacted revenue within the Digital Imaging operating segment. None of the effects of changes in estimates on any individual contract were material to the condensed consolidated statements of income for any period presented.

Contract Liabilities

We recognize a liability for 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet, which represented $184.8 million and $25.4 million as of October 3, 2021, and $160.1 million and $14.0 million as of January 3, 2021, respectively. The increase in contract liabilities from the beginning of the year primarily related to contract liabilities acquired as part of the acquisition of FLIR.

The Company recognized revenue of $98.8 million during the nine months ended October 3, 2021 from contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of year. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with an amortization period greater than one year were not material.

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 excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity). As of October 3, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,105.4 million. The Company expects approximately 80% of remaining performance obligations to be recognized into revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining 20% recognized thereafter.

Product Warranty Costs

Some of the Company’s products are subject to specified warranties, and the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties. The adequacy of the warranty reserve is assessed regularly, and the reserve is adjusted as necessary based on a review of historic warranty experience with respect to the applicable business or products, as well as the length and actual terms of the warranties. The warranty reserve is included in current and long-term accrued liabilities on the Condensed

Note 9. Income Taxes

The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. However, losses in certain jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions, are treated separately.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 was 20.1% and 21.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 was 21.5% and 17.9%, respectively. The third quarter of 2021 includes net discrete income tax benefits of $6.3 million and the first nine months of 2021 includes net discrete income tax benefit of $8.5 million. The third quarter and nine months of 2021 net discrete income tax amounts include $3.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, related to share-based accounting. The third quarter and nine months of 2021 net discrete income tax amounts also include income tax benefits of $4.9 million primarily related to research and development and foreign tax credits. The first nine months of 2021 include a $11.5 million expense related to foreign tax rate changes and a $5.3 million income tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance. The foreign tax rate changes are a result of the United Kingdom Parliament enacting legislation to increase the corporate tax rate to 25% effective April 2023. The third quarter and first nine months of 2020 includes net discrete income tax benefits of $1.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively. The third quarter and nine months of 2020 net discrete tax benefits include $0.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively, related to share-based accounting. Excluding the net discrete income tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 23.9% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2021. Excluding the net discrete income tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 22.5% for the third quarter of 2020 and 22.7% for the first nine months of 2020.

See Note 2 to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding FLIR historical tax matters that existed at the date of the acquisition, including the STA’s reassessment of tax for the year ending December 31, 2012 related to one of FLIR’s non-operating subsidiaries in Sweden.

In the first quarter of 2021, Teledyne completed various financing activities related to the acquisition of FLIR and incurred related interest and debt expense totaling $33.1 million. 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. 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. We 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. As a result of the completion of the permanent debt financing, on March 22, 2021 Teledyne terminated the $4.5 billion stand-by bridge facility. 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. In the third quarter of 2021, Teledyne repaid $300.0 million against the Term Loan Credit Agreement due May 2026. In October 2021, Teledyne amended its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and its 2019 Term Loan due October 2024 to adopt LIBOR replacement language and to refine pricing terms under the 2019 Term Loan.

At October 3, 2021, $751.1 million was available under the $1.15 billion credit facility, after reductions of $125.0 million in borrowings and $273.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit include a $253.6 million letter of credit to the STA, related to a disputed 2018 tax reassessment issued to a FLIR subsidiary in Sweden.

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 Company’s long-term debt is considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy and is valued based on observable market data. The estimated fair value of Teledyne’s long-term debt at October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, approximated the carrying value.

Note 11. Lease Commitments

At October 3, 2021, Teledyne has right-of-use assets of $137.7 million and a total lease liability for operating leases of $159.3 million of which $130.1 million is included in long-term lease liabilities and $29.2 million is included in current accrued liabilities. Operating lease expense was $10.0 million and $24.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. Operating lease expense was $6.7 million and $18.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.

Note 12. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters

For a further description of the Company’s commitments and contingencies, reference is made to Note 14 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, included in the 2020 Form 10-K.

At October 3, 2021, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.5 million, of which $1.8 million is included in current accrued liabilities. At January 3, 2021, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.5 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 expend present accruals over many years and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.

On April 24, 2018, FLIR entered into a Consent Agreement with the United States Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”) 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 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, 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 October 3, 2021, FLIR has $3.5 million remaining to be paid under the Consent Agreement. 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.

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.

Table of Contents

No 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 2 to these Notes to Condensed 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.

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, contracts, environmental, employment and employee benefits matters. 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 statements.

Note 13. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits

For the domestic qualified pension plans, the weighted-average discount rate decreased to 2.64% in 2021, compared with 3.41% for 2020. Teledyne has not made any cash pension contributions to its domestic qualified pension plans since 2013 and no cash pension contributions are planned for 2021.

See Note 2 to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the FLIR acquisition.

As part of a continuing effort to reduce costs and improve operating performance, as well as to respond to the impact of COVID, beginning in 2020, the Company took actions to reduce headcount across various businesses, reducing our exposure to weak end markets, such as commercial aerospace. Teledyne incurred $1.3 million and $26.4 million in expense related to these actions, including facility consolidation expense, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 respectively, compared with $3.3 million and $15.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2021 includes $0.5 million and $23.7 million, respectively, related to FLIR. At October 3, 2021, Teledyne had a liability of less than $1.0 million included in other current liabilities related to these actions.

Total	$	287.1	$	263.5	$	864.7	$	811.7

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 nine months ended October 3, 2021, approximately 47% of net sales in the Engineered Systems segment was derived from fixed price contracts.

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 Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”), our largest acquisition to date, in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8.1 billion, comprising of net cash payments of $3.7 billion, $3.9 billion of Teledyne shares issued to existing FLIR shareholders, and the assumption of FLIR debt of $0.5 billion. As a combined company, we uniquely provide a full spectrum of imaging technologies and products spanning X-ray through infrared and from components to complete imaging systems. We also provide a complete range of unmanned systems and imaging payload across all domains ranging from deep sea to deep space. FLIR is part of the Digital Imaging segment. The results of the FLIR acquisition have been included in Teledyne’s results since the date of the acquisition.

FLIR Acquisition and Debt Activities

FLIR stockholders received $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of Teledyne common stock for each FLIR share. In the first quarter of 2021, Teledyne completed various financing activities related to the 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. In the third quarter of 2021, Teledyne repaid $300.0 million against the Term Loan Credit Agreement due March 2026.

At October 3, 2021, total debt was $4,441.7 million, compared with total debt of $778.5 million at January 3, 2021. The debt balance at October 3, 2021, includes the debt incurred to fund the cash portion of the consideration for the FLIR acquisition. At October 3, 2021, $751.1 million was available under the $1.150 billion credit facility, after reductions of $125.0 million in borrowings and $273.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit include a $253.6 million letter of credit to the Swedish Tax Authority (“STA”), related to a disputed 2018 tax reassessment issued to a FLIR subsidiary in Sweden.

COVID and Other Challenges

The safety and health of our employees is of utmost importance to Teledyne. Since the COVID-19 vaccination was made available to the public, Teledyne has encouraged voluntary vaccination efforts for its U.S. workforce by providing paid time off to receive the vaccine and, where possible, enlisting local healthcare providers to be onsite to administer the vaccine. Some of our businesses hold U.S. Government contracts subject to a new U.S. Executive Order mandating COVID vaccinations for government contractor employees at certain covered sites. We are taking steps to comply with this mandate at applicable workplaces.

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, the continuing dynamic nature of this situation, including on the global supply chain and workforces, as well as inflationary trends, the Company may not fully estimate the impacts of COVID on its 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 the inflationary and supply chain constraint trends to continue throughout the remainder of 2021 and may continue thereafter.

2020 Acquisition of OakGate Technology, Inc.

On January 5, 2020, we acquired OakGate Technology, Inc. (“OakGate”) for $28.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Based in Loomis, California, OakGate provides software and hardware designed to test electronic data storage devices from development through manufacturing and end-use applications. OakGate is part of the Test and Measurement product line within the Instrumentation segment. Teledyne funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The results of the OakGate acquisition have been included in Teledyne’s results since the date of the acquisition.

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 share-based accounting income tax benefits, are treated separately.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 20.1%, compared with 21.5%. The third quarter of 2021 included net discrete income tax benefits of $6.3 million, which included $3.0 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting and an income tax benefit of $4.9 million primarily related to research and development and foreign tax credits. The third quarter of 2020 included net discrete tax benefits of $1.2 million, which included a $0.7 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting. Excluding the net discrete income tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 23.9% for the third quarter of 2021 and 22.5% for the third quarter of 2020. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2021 is expected to be 23.9% before discrete tax items. In addition, we currently expect less discrete tax items in 2021 compared with 2020.

First nine months of 2021 compared with the first nine months of 2020

Our first nine months of 2021 net sales increased 42.2% and included $775.0 million in incremental net sales from the acquisition FLIR. Net income for the first nine months of 2021 increased 5.1%. Net income per diluted share was $6.58 for the first nine months of 2021 compared with net income per diluted share of $7.14. In connection with the FLIR acquisition, in the first nine months of 2021, Teledyne incurred pretax expenses of $259.8 million, which included $51.2 million of transaction and integration-related costs, $51.0 million for the settlement of FLIR employee and director stock awards, $68.4 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense, $58.6 million in acquired inventory step-up expense and $30.6 million in bridge loan and debt extinguishment fees. The first nine months of 2021 also included $29.5 million of acquired intangible asset amortization expense for acquisitions completed in prior periods. The first nine months of 2020 included pretax charges of $52.1 million which included $29.2 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense and $22.9 million in severance, facility consolidation, acquisition and certain changes in contract cost estimates and other costs. The first nine months of 2021 included net discrete income tax benefits of $8.5 million, compared with $15.8 million.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the nine months of 2021 decreased to 60.0%, compared with 62.0%. 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.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development, increased by $268.5 million in the first nine months of 2021 and primarily reflected the impact of higher net sales, as well as $101.9 million in acquisition-related transaction and purchase accounting expenses related to the FLIR acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2021, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 23.7% compared with 21.9%. The higher percentage in 2021 primarily reflected the impact of acquisition-related transaction and purchase accounting expenses related to the FLIR acquisition. In the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, we recorded a total of $13.6 million and $18.8 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense. The decrease in stock option expense in the first nine months of 2021, reflects the absence of stock option grants in the first six months of 2021.

Acquired Intangible Asset Amortization

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $529.0 million for the first nine months of 2021, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $382.5 million. The higher cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 reflects improved working capital management, which included a focus on inventory reduction initiatives, and the cash flow contribution from FLIR, partially offset by after tax payments of $68.8 million for expenses related to the FLIR acquisition, $15.1 million in higher income tax payments and higher interest payments.

Our net cash used by investing activities was $3,790.4 million for the first nine months of 2021, compared with net cash used by investing activities of $80.9 million. The 2021 amount includes the cash portion of the purchase price for the FLIR acquisition of $3.7 billion, net of cash acquired. The first nine months of 2020 included $29.0 million for the OakGate acquisition acquired on January 5, 2020. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020 were $67.6 million and $52.0 million, respectively.

Our goodwill was $7,899.5 million at October 3, 2021 and $2,150.0 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in goodwill primarily reflected preliminary amounts recorded for the FLIR acquisition. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $2,705.2 million at October 3, 2021 and $409.7 million at January 3, 2021. The increase in the balance of net acquired intangible assets reflected preliminary amounts recorded for the FLIR acquisition. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amount assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the FLIR acquisition. The amounts recorded as of October 3, 2021 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.

Financing activities provided cash of $3,147.3 million for the first nine months of 2021, compared with cash used by financing activities of $45.9 million. The higher cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2021 included the proceeds of debt incurred to fund the cash portion of the FLIR acquisition. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $21.4 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared with $29.5 million for the first nine months of 2020.

Total debt at October 3, 2021 was $4,441.7 million compared with $778.5 million at January 3, 2021. The debt balance at October 3, 2021, includes the debt incurred in 2021 for the cash portion of the consideration for the FLIR acquisition. At October 3, 2021, Teledyne had $288.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. At October 3, 2021, $751.1 million was available under the $1.150 billion credit facility, after reductions of $125.0 million in borrowings and $273.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit include a $253.6 million letter of credit to the STA related to a disputed 2018 tax reassessment issued to a FLIR subsidiary in Sweden. See Note 2 to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the STA’s reassessment of tax for the year ending December 31, 2012 related to one of FLIR’s non-operating subsidiaries in Sweden.

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 cash on hand, operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the $1.15 billion credit facility, will be sufficient to meet these requirements. To support acquisitions, we may raise additional capital. We currently expect to spend approximately $115.0 million for capital expenditures in 2021, of which $67.6 million has been spent in the first nine months of 2021. No cash pension contributions have been made since 2013 or are planned for the remainder of 2021 for the domestic qualified pension plans.

Our credit agreements require Teledyne to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at October 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. As of October 3, 2021, the Company had an adequate amount of margin between required financial covenant ratios (as required by applicable credit agreements) and our actual ratios. At October 3, 2021, the required financial ratios and the actual ratios were as follows:


$1.15 billion Credit Facility expires March 2026, $1.0 billion term loan due May 2026 and $150.0 million term loan due October 2024 (issued October 2019)
Financial Covenants	Requirement	Actual Measure
Consolidated Leverage Ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) (a)	No more than 4.75 to 1	3.3 to 1
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (EBITDA/Interest) (b)	No less than 3.0 to 1	9.6 to 1

a) The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is equal to Net Debt/EBITDA as defined in our $1.150 billion credit agreement. Requirement changes to 4.5 to 1 for the second and third quarter of 2022 and to 4.0 to 1 for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 3.5 to 1 thereafter.

b) The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to EBITDA/Interest as defined in our $1.150 billion credit agreement.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies 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 pension plans; 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 2020 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, including the acquisition of FLIR, product sales, capital expenditures, 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”, “believes” or “expect”, that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in 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 ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID pandemic for businesses and governments around the world, including production, supply, contractual and other disruptions, including facility closures and furloughs and travel restrictions; the inability to integrate FLIR successfully, to retain customers and key employees and to achieve operating synergies, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the

strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where Teledyne and FLIR do business; changes in relevant tax and other laws; risks associated with indebtedness, including that incurred as a result of financing transactions undertaken in connection with the acquisition of FLIR, as well as our ability to reduce indebtedness and the timing thereof; 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 tax and export matters; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; the impact of higher inflation; semiconductor and other supply chain shortages; and threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cyber security threats. Lower oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, and new regulations or restrictions relating to energy production 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. An adverse tax ruling by the Swedish Appellate Court related to a pre-acquisition assessment by the Swedish Tax Authority against a FLIR subsidiary would materially impact our cash flow.

While the Company’s growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses, retain customers and achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses internationally, including those arising from U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fluctuations.

While we believe our internal and disclosure control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and 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 Teledyne’s 2020 Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

We assume no duty to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Market Risk

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

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate portions of our foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at October 3, 2021 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 $11.6 million. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at October 3, 2021 would result in a decrease or increase 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. For additional information, see Derivative Instruments discussed in Note 4 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk Disclosure

We are exposed to market risk through the interest rate on our borrowings under our $1.15 billion credit facility and our $150.0 million term loan. As of October 3, 2021, we had $125.0 million in outstanding under our credit facility and $150.0 million outstanding under our term loan for a total $275.0 million. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $2.75 million, assuming the $275.0 million in debt was outstanding for the full year. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at October 3, 2021 would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value of our Euro/U.S. Dollar cross currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges by approximately $29.4 million. A hypothetical 10 percent increase in the U.S. interest rates at October 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 $1.7 million.

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 Chairman, President and 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 procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as of October 3, 2021, are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

On May 14, 2021, we acquired FLIR and, as a result, we have begun integrating certain processes, systems and controls relating to FLIR into our existing system of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with our integration plans. Except for certain processes, systems and controls relating to the integration of FLIR, during the quarter ended October 3, 2021, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk factors related to newly-acquired FLIR business:

Adverse findings in matters related FLIR’s historical export control practices could materially impact us

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.

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 another voluntary disclosure has been filed to report potential violations.

No adjustments have been made for these matters in Teledyne’s current preliminary estimates of its purchase price allocation for FLIR. 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.

Ongoing reviews of FLIR’s historical operations by foreign tax authorities could result in material tax assessments

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 ($351.5 million USD). 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 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 that reflects the most likely outcome for this tax matter under the acquisition method for business combinations in the third quarter of 2021. 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. An adverse tax ruling by the Appellate Court related to a pre-acquisition assessment by the STA against a FLIR subsidiary would materially impact our cash flow.

Item 5. Other Information

First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On October 26, 2021, Teledyne, as borrower and guarantor, certain of its foreign subsidiaries, as designated borrowers, and Teledyne’s domestic subsidiary Teledyne FLIR, LLC (“Teledyne FLIR”), as subsidiary guarantor, entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 4, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

As amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes customary language to provide for the replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark rate for determining the interest rate with respect to loans thereunder denominated in euros, Canadian dollars, Swedish krona and sterling, to provide for the recovery of any erroneous payments as may be made by the administrative agent to the lenders thereunder and to provide for certain other administrative matters.

Third Amendment to 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement

On October 26, 2021, Teledyne and its foreign subsidiary, Teledyne Netherlands B.V., as borrowers, and Teledyne FLIR, as guarantor, entered into an amendment (the “Third 2019 Term Loan Amendment”) to Teledyne’s Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 30, 2019, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of January 19, 2021, and as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of March 4, 2021 (the “2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement”).

As amended by the Third 2019 Term Loan Amendment, the 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement includes customary language to provide for the phase out and replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark rate for determining the interest rate on loans thereunder, to provide for the recovery of any erroneous payments as may be made by the administrative agent to the lenders thereunder and to provide for certain other administrative matters. The amendment also provides that the applicable margin to be added to the benchmark rate in determining the interest rate will be determined by reference to the ratings established by S&P and Moody’s from time to time for Teledyne’s long term, unsecured, senior, non-credit enhanced indebtedness, rather than Teledyne’s consolidated leverage ratio.

General

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, certain of the lenders and the other parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended in each such case) and their respective affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking, investment banking, financial advisory or other services with Teledyne and its affiliates for which they have in the past and/or may in the future receive customary compensation and expense reimbursement.

The descriptions set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Third 2019 Term Loan Amendment, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
