NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

April 2, 2023

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 1, 2023 (“2022 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 April 2, 2023 and the consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated cash flows for the first quarter ended April 2, 2023. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended April 2, 2023 and cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 2023 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 September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This standard requires annual disclosure of the key terms of supplier finance programs, obligations outstanding with a description of where the amounts are presented in the financial statements, a rollforward of such amounts, and interim disclosure of amounts outstanding as of the end of each period. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have an impact on the Company's disclosures as the impact of supplier finance programs is not material to the Company's financial statements.

Note 2. Business Acquisitions

2023 Acquisitions

ChartWorld

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company acquired ChartWorld International Limited and affiliates ("ChartWorld") for $52.5 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.

2022 Acquisitions

ETM

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Teledyne acquired ETM-Electromatic, Inc. ("ETM") for $87.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and subject to certain adjustments. ETM, headquartered in Newark, California, designs and manufactures high-power microwave and high-energy X-ray subsystems for cancer radiotherapy, defense and X-ray security applications. ETM is part of the Digital Imaging segment. Goodwill resulting from the ETM acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

NL Acoustics

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company acquired an approximate 80% majority interest in Noiseless Acoustics Oy ("NL Acoustics"), paying $11.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, during the year, with an immaterial amount payable in 2023. NL Acoustics, located in Helsinki, Finland, designs and manufactures acoustics imaging instruments and predictive maintenance solutions. NL Acoustics is part of the Digital Imaging segment. Goodwill resulting from the NL Acoustics acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The minority ownership interest in shares of NL Acoustics held by certain former owners and employees is classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet due to a put option under which the third party may require the Company to purchase the remaining ownership interest, with the put option exercisable beginning in the third quarter of 2025. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value and its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable

noncontrolling interest are recorded through retained earnings. Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance during the period were not material.

The following tables show the purchase price (net of cash acquired), goodwill acquired, and acquired intangible assets for these acquisitions (in millions):


	2023
Acquisitions	Acquisition Date	Cash Paid (a)		Goodwill Acquired		Acquired Intangible Assets
ChartWorld	January 3, 2023	$	52.5	$	48.4	$	11.3

(a) Net of cash acquired
	2022
Acquisitions	Acquisition Date	Cash Paid (a)		Goodwill Acquired		Acquired Intangible Assets
ETM	October 28, 2022	$	87.7	$	33.5	$	20.9
NL Acoustics (acquisition of 80% interest)	July 15, 2022	11.9		11.6		3.8


Total		$	99.6	$	45.1	$	24.7
(a) Net of cash acquired; an immaterial portion of NL Acoustics will be paid in 2023.

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 these acquisitions 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 2022 and 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. Our customers include government agencies, aerospace prime contractors, energy exploration and production companies, major industrial companies and airlines. The Company has four reportable segments: Digital Imaging; Instrumentation; Aerospace and Defense Electronics; and Engineered Systems.

Segment results include net sales and operating income by segment but excludes corporate office expenses. Corporate expense primarily includes various administrative expenses relating to the corporate office not allocated to our segments.

The following table presents net sales and operating income by segment (dollars in millions):


	First Quarter				%
	2023		2022		Change
Net sales (a):
Digital Imaging	$	772.5	$	750.5	2.9	%
Instrumentation	333.5		308.9		8.0	%

Aerospace and Defense Electronics	173.2		166.2		4.2	%
Engineered Systems	104.1		95.4		9.1	%
Total net sales	$	1,383.3	$	1,321.0	4.7	%
Operating income:
Digital Imaging	$	122.2	$	115.7	5.6	%

Aerospace and Defense Electronics	47.0		42.9		9.6	%
Engineered Systems	10.0		9.4		6.4	%
Corporate expense	(17.4)		(16.1)		8.1	%
Operating income	$	242.5	$	223.5	8.5	%
(a) Net sales excludes inter-segment sales of $6.2 million and $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Identifiable assets are those assets used in the operations of the segments. Corporate assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, deferred taxes, net pension assets/liabilities and other assets (in millions):


Identifiable assets:	April 2, 2023		January 1, 2023
Digital Imaging	$	11,406.6	$	11,432.3
Instrumentation	1,634.6		1,626.4

Engineered Systems	188.3		200.3
Corporate	645.3		554.9
Total identifiable assets	$	14,429.3	$	14,354.0

Product Lines

The Instrumentation segment includes three product lines: Environmental Instrumentation, Marine Instrumentation and Test and Measurement Instrumentation. The Company’s other three segments each contain one product line.

The following table provides a summary of the net sales by product line for the Instrumentation segment (in millions):


	First Quarter
Instrumentation	2023		2022

Marine Instrumentation	$	128.2	$	111.9
Environmental Instrumentation	117.9		114.0

Test and Measurement Instrumentation	87.4		83.0
Total	$	333.5	$	308.9

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. With the exception of the Engineered Systems segment, net sales in each segment 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-reimbursable type contracts. For the three months ended April 2, 2023, approximately 51% of net sales in the Engineered Systems segment were derived from fixed price contracts.

Accrued liabilities	$	221.5	$	187.6
Other long-term liabilities	20.7		20.2



Total contract liabilities	$	242.2	$	207.8

The Company recognized revenue of $67.9 million during the three months ended April 2, 2023 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 April 2, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,198.8 million. The Company expects approximately 82% of remaining performance obligations to be recognized into revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining 18% 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 2023 and 2022 was $2.9 million of favorable operating income and $7.6 million favorable operating income, respectively, with both years primarily related to favorable changes in estimates that impacted revenue, and, to a lesser degree, cost of sales. None of the effects of changes in estimates on any individual contract were material to the consolidated statements of income for any period presented.

During the first three months of 2023, the Company repaid $100.0 million of amounts outstanding on its credit facility.

At April 2, 2023, $1,103.9 million was available under the $1.15 billion credit facility, after reductions of $25.0 million in borrowings and $21.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. Our bank credit agreements require Teledyne to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at April 2, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

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 input in the fair value hierarchy and is valued based on observable market data. As of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, the aggregate fair values of our borrowings were $3,490.7 million and $3,492.7 million, respectively, and the carrying values were $3,845.6 million and $3,947.1 million, respectively.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, on April 3, 2023, the Company repaid the $300.0 million of fixed rate senior notes.

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.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was a 20.1% compared with an effective income tax rate of negative 4.7% for the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 includes net discrete income tax benefits of $6.6 million compared with net discrete income tax benefits of $56.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 net discrete tax benefits include $5.9 million related to stock-based accounting. The first quarter of 2022 net discrete income tax amounts include a non-cash income tax benefit of $50.0 million primarily related to the resolution of certain FLIR tax reserves and $6.7 million related to stock-based accounting. Excluding the net discrete income tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 23.0% for the first quarter of 2023 and 23.1% for the first quarter of 2022.

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. 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 April 2, 2023, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $134.9 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from June 2023 to February 2025. As of April 2, 2023, The Company had foreign currency forward contracts to buy British pounds and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $12.3 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from June 2023 to February 2024.

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 April 2, 2023, the Company has a cross currency swap outstanding with a notional amount of €156.0 million and $150.0 million that matures in October 2024.

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.

Table of Contents

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 April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 was as follows (in millions):


	First Quarter
	2023		2022
Net gain (loss) recognized in AOCI - Foreign Exchange Contracts (a)	$	13.6	$	13.7
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into revenue - Foreign Exchange Contracts (a)	$	(1.9)	$	(0.2)

Net gain (loss) recognized in AOCI - Interest Rate Contracts	$	—	$	1.3
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into other income and expense, net - Foreign Exchange Contracts (b)	$	10.1	$	6.2
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into interest expense - Foreign Exchange Contracts	$	1.5	$	0.9
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into interest expense - Interest Rate Contracts	$	0.6	$	(0.4)

(a) Effective portion, pre-tax

(b) Amount reclassified to offset earnings impact of liability hedged by cross currency swap

Net deferred losses recorded in AOCI for the forward contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $3.1 million, net of taxes. These losses are expected to be offset by anticipated gains in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts related to the cross currency swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the next twelve months total $7.0 million.

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 April 2, 2023, 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
Canadian Dollars	$	185.6		U.S. Dollars	US$	136.7



Great Britain Pounds	£	50.3		U.S. Dollars	US$	60.7


Euros	€	50.5		U.S. Dollars	US$	53.6


Danish Krone	DKR	107.9		U.S. Dollars	US$	15.5
Swedish Krona	SEK	163.5		Euros	€	14.7
U.S. Dollars	US$	13.6		Chinese Yuan	¥	93.9

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 April 2, 2023 was income of $7.8 million. The effect of derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in other income and expense for the first quarter ended April 3, 2022 was expense of $4.8 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

Effective April 24, 2022, the United States Department of State’s Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (“DDTC”) closed the four-year Consent Agreement that had been entered into by FLIR Systems, Inc. ("FLIR"), to resolve various export allegations under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). In connection with this Consent Agreement and other export matters, while FLIR and its successor by mergers, Teledyne FLIR, have enhanced the trade compliance program more broadly, implemented remedial measures and have undergone external and internal audits of the trade compliance program, adverse disclosures and findings could cause additional expenses in connection with further remedial measures or potential penalties.

The Company has made other 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.

Environmental Remediation Obligations

At April 2, 2023, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $5.7 million, of which $1.5 million is included in current accrued liabilities. At January 1, 2023, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $5.8 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

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.

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 factory automation and condition monitoring, aerospace and defense, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research, oceanographic research, and deepwater energy exploration and production. Teledyne is a global sensing and decision-support technology company: providing specialty sensors, cameras, instrumentation, algorithms and software across the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as unmanned systems, in the subsea, land and air domains. We differentiate ourselves from many of our direct competitors by having a customer- and Company-sponsored applied research center that augments our product development expertise. We believe that technological capabilities and innovation and the ability to invest in the development of new and enhanced products are critical to obtaining and maintaining leadership in our markets and the industries in which we compete.

Strategy

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 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 through targeted research and development, we seek to create new products to grow our Company and expand our addressable markets. We continue to evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.

Consistent with our strategy, we completed one acquisition in the first quarter of 2023 and two acquisitions in 2022, which were all part of the Digital Imaging segment. The financial results of these acquisitions have been included since the respective date of each acquisition. See Note 2 for additional information about our recent acquisitions.

Trends Affecting Our Business

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. This has delayed our ability to convert backlog to revenue and negatively impacted our profit margins. Although perhaps to a lesser extent, we expect inflationary and supply chain constraint trends to continue in 2023.

Costs incurred and sales 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. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies adversely impacted our sales in 2022, the first quarter of 2023 and may continue to do so in future periods. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar may also increase the price and reduce the competitiveness of some of our products sold in markets outside the United States.

First Quarter Results

The following is a discussion of our 2023 first quarter results compared with the first quarter results of 2022. Comparisons are with the corresponding reporting period of 2022, unless noted otherwise.

First quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022

Our first quarter of 2023 net sales increased 4.7%. Net income for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 15.9%, primarily driven by higher income tax expense in the first quarter of 2023, as discussed below.

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. 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 have been made since 2013 or are planned for the remainder of 2023 for the domestic qualified pension plans.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $665.2 million at April 2, 2023 compared with $638.1 million at January 1, 2023. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Long-term Debt

Total debt at April 2, 2023 was $3,820.4 million compared with $3,920.6 million at January 1, 2023. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, on April 3, 2023, the Company repaid $300.0 million of its senior fixed rate notes.

At April 2, 2023, $1,103.9 million was available under the $1.15 billion credit facility, after reductions of $25.0 million in borrowings and $21.1 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Our bank credit agreements, which includes our $1.15 billion Credit Facility expiring March 2026, our $245.0 million term loan due May 2026 and our $150.0 million term loan due October 2024, require us to comply with various financial and operating covenants. At April 2, 2023, 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 be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Cash Flows:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $203.0 million for the first three months of 2023 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $216.7 million. The first three months of 2023 reflected higher accounts receivable collections compared with the first quarter of 2022. The first three months of 2022 included a payment of $296.4 million to the Swedish Tax Authority related to a disputed pre-acquisition 2018 tax reassessment issued to a FLIR subsidiary.

Net cash used in investing activities was $76.9 million for the first three months of 2023 compared with $19.6 million. During the first three months of 2023, we spent $52.5 million on acquisitions. Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2023 and 2022 were $24.4 million and $21.0 million, respectively. We currently plan to invest approximately $100 million for capital expenditures in 2023.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities was $103.4 million for the first three months of 2023 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $42.6 million. During the first three months of 2023, we made $100.0 million of floating rate debt payments which reduced borrowings outstanding on our credit facility. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $10.2 million for the first three months of 2023 compared with $12.7 million for the first three months of 2022.

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; accounting for income taxes; and accounting for pension plans.

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 2022 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”, “believe” 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 the anticipated results, including: ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID pandemic for businesses and governments around the world, including production, supply, contractual and other disruptions, such as COVID-related lockdowns, facility closures, furloughs and travel restrictions; 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 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 the COVID pandemic; impacts from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies of the U.S. Presidential Administration; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; the continuing review and resolution of FLIR’s export and tax matters; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cybersecurity threats; natural and man-made disasters, including those related to or intensified by climate change; and our ability to achieve emission reduction targets and decrease our carbon footprint. Lower oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, and new regulations or restrictions relating to energy production, including those implemented in response to climate change, could further negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. Weakness in the commercial aerospace industry negatively affects the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the Company’s pension assets. Changes in the policies of U.S. and foreign governments, including economic sanctions, could result, over time, in reductions or realignment in defense or other government spending and further changes in programs in which the Company participates.

While 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, including the recent acquisition of ChartWorld, 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 2022 Form 10-K.

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.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings provided in the amendments to the Credit Agreements. Each Credit Agreement was amended as follows:

a.to replace the interest rate for Dollar denominated Loans thereunder that was previously determined as the sum of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) for an applicable interest period plus an Applicable Margin (determined by reference to the Company’s long-term, unsecured, senior, non-credit enhanced indebtedness ratings), with a successor rate determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (SOFR) for interest periods of one, three or six months (or other period as may be agreed up to twelve months), but not less than a floor of zero, plus 0.10%, plus such Applicable Margin;

b.to modify the required leverage ratio that previously required the Company as of the end of each fiscal quarter not to permit the ratio of its Consolidated Funded Indebtedness net of unencumbered cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries in excess of $50 million to Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four

Table of Contents

quarters then ended to exceed 3.50:1, (i) to provide that such Consolidated Funded Indebtedness may be net of all cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries; and (ii) to permit such ratio to increase to not more than 4.00:1 for each of the four quarter ends following an Acquisition by the Company and its Subsidiaries involving consideration in an aggregate amount exceeding $100 million (compared to $50 million in the prior Credit Agreement) (and thereafter such ratio shall again revert to not greater than 3.50:1 for each quarter end following such fourth quarter end); and

c.to further modify the confirmation of the parties to the Credit Agreement that the Amendment and other Loan Documents to be executed and delivered thereunder may be executed by each such party by an electronic signature.

The amendments to the Credit Agreements are being filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the summary above is qualified in all respects by the full language of the amendments as set forth in the exhibits.
