TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 27, 2009
Note 1. General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (Teledyne Technologies 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as they apply to interim reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Teledyne Technologies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008 (2008 Form 10-K).
In the opinion of Teledyne Technologies’ 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 Technologies’ consolidated financial position as of September 27, 2009, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months then ended and cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended September 27, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year.
In the third quarter of 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The ASC does not alter current U.S. GAAP, but rather integrates existing accounting standards with other authoritative guidance. The ASC provides a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities and supersedes all other previously issued non-SEC accounting and reporting guidance. The adoption of the ASC did not have any effect on our results of operations or financial position. All prior references to U.S. GAAP have been revised to conform to the ASC. Updates to the ASC are issued in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements and notes for the prior year to conform to the 2009 presentation as well as to implement ASC 810-10-65, (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”) as described below.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, we adopted ASC 855, (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date. Entities are also required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. ASC 855 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted the provisions effective with the second quarter 2009 and has evaluated subsequent events through November 4, 2009, which is the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, ASC 820-10-65, (formerly SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When Market Activity Has Decreased,”), ASC 320-10-65 (formerly FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2, “Other-Than-Temporary Impairment”) and ASC 825-10-65, (formerly FSP 107-1/APB 28-1, “Interim Fair Value Disclosures for Financial Instruments.”) were issued. These topics impact certain aspects of fair value measurement and related disclosures. The provisions of these topics were effective beginning in the second quarter of 2009. The impact of adopting these topics in the second quarter of 2009 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Effective December 29, 2008 Teledyne adopted the provisions of ASC 80, (formerly SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”). This revised guidance establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It provides guidance for recognizing and

measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with an exception related to the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies related to acquisitions completed before the effective date. The revised guidance also requires adjustments, made after the effective date, to valuation allowances for acquired deferred tax assets and income tax positions to be recognized as income tax expense. The adoption of the revised guidance, effective December 29, 2008, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position for the acquisitions made prior to its adoption. For any acquisitions completed after our 2008 fiscal year, we expect the revised guidance will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, however the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions, if any, we consummate. In 2009, Teledyne acquired assets of a marine sensor product line for an initial payment of $1.4 million. Due to the size of the purchase, the revised guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Effective December 29, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 810-10-65 (formerly SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”). The revised guidance new accounting, reporting and disclosure standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the condensed consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents’ equity. The revised guidance was applied prospectively as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which were applied retrospectively for the prior period presented. In connection with the adoption, and in compliance with ASC 480 (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts Topic No. D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”), the Company restated the prior year balance sheet to reflect the fair value of the obligation to purchase the remaining shares of ODI of $24.2 million at fiscal year end 2008 as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified the amount as mezzanine equity (temporary equity) on the balance sheet. The Company also restated the year end 2008 balance in retained earnings to reflect a corresponding $24.2 million decrease. Additionally, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interests of $4.1 million, related to ODI, from long-term liabilities at year end 2008 to redeemable noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet. The Company also reclassified noncontrolling interests of $1.1 million, related to Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc., from long-term liabilities at year end 2008 to the noncontrolling interest component of the equity section of the balance sheet. In 2009, Teledyne purchased all of the remaining 14.1% minority interest in Ocean Design, Inc. (“ODI”) for $25.5 million and now owns 100% of ODI. See Footnote 2, “Business Combinations” for a discussion of the ODI acquisition.
In September 2006 and in February 2009, the FASB issued guidelines, under ASC 820, (formerly SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” and related FASB Staff Positions) related to fair value measurements that, defines fair value, establishes a framework in generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidelines do not increase the use of fair value measurement and only apply when other guidelines require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. The implementation of the guidelines for financial assets and financial liabilities, effective December 31, 2007, and the implementation the guidelines for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, effective December 29, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ASC 820 also establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, through corroboration with observable market data; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on a reporting entity’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The reduction in redeemable noncontrolling interest from year end 2008, primarily reflects the purchase of all of the remaining minority interest in ODI for $25.5 million.

On August 16, 2006, Teledyne Technologies through its subsidiary, Teledyne Instruments, Inc., acquired an initial majority interest in ODI for approximately $30 million in cash. Pursuant to agreements made in connection with our acquisition of a majority interest in ODI, Teledyne Instruments made subsequent share purchases at a formula-determined price based principally on ODI’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the twelve months preceding each applicable quarter end. In the third quarter of 2009, Teledyne Instruments purchased all the remaining minority shares for $19.6 million and now owns 100% of ODI. Ownership purchases in ODI were as follows, including the initial purchase in 2006 and the final purchase in 2009: 2006 — 60.9% for $35.8 million, 2007 — 0.9% for $0.9 million, 2008 — 24.1% for $38.5 million and 2009 — 14.1% for $25.5 million.

The primary reason for the above acquisitions was to strengthen and expand our core businesses by adding complementary product and service offerings, allowing greater integration of products and services, enhancing our technical capabilities and/or increasing our addressable markets. 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.
Teledyne Technologies funded the acquisitions primarily from borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand.
Teledyne Technologies’ goodwill was $510.5 million at September 27, 2009 and $502.5 million at December 28, 2008. Teledyne Technologies’ net acquired intangible assets were $107.8 million at September 27, 2009 and $117.0 million at December 28, 2008. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2009 primarily resulted from foreign currency changes, the acquisition of the assets of a marine sensor product line and an adjustment to reflect the finalization of the Webb and the Filtronic intangible asset valuations. The change in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2009 resulted from the amortization of acquired intangible assets, partially offset by foreign currency changes, intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of the assets of a marine sensor product line and an adjustment to reflect the finalization of the Webb and the Filtronic intangible asset valuations. The Company completed the purchase price valuation for the Webb acquisition, and as a result, goodwill was decreased by $1.1 million and other acquired intangible assets were increased by $1.1 million. The Company also completed the purchase price valuation for the Filtronic acquisition, and as a result, goodwill was increased by $3.3 million and other acquired intangible assets were decreased by $3.3 million. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to intangible assets, as well as certain assets and liabilities for the Cormon, Odom and Demo acquisitions made in 2008. The Company made preliminary estimates as of September 27, 2009, since there was insufficient time between the acquisition dates and the end of the period to finalize the valuations. There were no significant adjustments to the estimated amounts during the first nine months of 2009.

Note 4. Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed based on net earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. This number of shares was increased by contingent shares that could be issued under various compensation plans as well as by the dilutive effect of stock options based on the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in millions, except per share data):

Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Teledyne Technologies 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 director stock compensation plans, pursuant to which non-qualified stock options and common stock have been issued to its directors.
The following disclosures are based on stock options granted to Teledyne Technologies’ employees and directors. The Company recorded a total of $1.3 million and $4.1 million in stock option compensation expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively. For the third quarter and nine months of 2008, the Company recorded a total of $1.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively in stock option expense. The lower 2009 amount reflects the decision to eliminate the annual employee stock option grant for 2009. In 2009, the Company currently expects approximately $5.5 million in stock option compensation expense based on stock options already granted and current assumptions regarding the estimated fair value of stock option grants expected to be issued during the remainder of the year. However, our assessment of the estimated compensation expense will be affected by our stock price and actual stock option grants during the remainder of the year as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables and the related tax impact. These variables include, but are not limited to, the volatility of our stock price and employee stock option exercise behaviors. The Company issues shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

The Company used a combination of its historical stock price volatility and the volatility of exchange traded options on the Company stock to compute the expected volatility for purposes of valuing stock options issued. The period used for the historical stock price corresponded to the expected term of the options and was between five and six years. The period used for the exchange traded options included the longest-dated options publicly available, generally six to nine months. The expected dividend yield is based on Teledyne’s practice of not paying dividends. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield of U. S. Treasury Strips with terms equal to the expected life of the options as of the grant date. The expected life in years is based on historical actual stock option exercise experience. The following assumptions were used in the valuation of stock options granted in 2009 and 2008:
                 
    2009   2008
Expected dividend yield
           
Expected volatility
    38.8 %     34.7 %
Risk-free interest rate
    2.1 %     3.3 %
Expected life in years
    5.6       5.6  
     
Based on the assumptions in the table above, the grant date fair value of stock options granted in 2009 and 2008 was $10.02 and $19.35, respectively.

Note 7. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, less progress payments. Inventories are valued under the LIFO method, FIFO method and average cost method. 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 are subject to many factors beyond the Company’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Inventories consist of the following (in millions):
                 
Balance at   September 27, 2009     December 28, 2008  
Raw materials and supplies
  $ 110.0     $ 89.8  
Work in process
    99.5       125.8  
Finished goods
    17.8       22.2  
 
           
 
    227.3       237.8

    (25.3 )     (26.5 )
 
           
Total inventories, net
  $ 192.0     $ 207.0  
 
           
Inventories at cost determined on the LIFO method were $116.7 million at September 27, 2009 and $126.2 million at December 28, 2008. The remainder of the inventories using average cost or the FIFO methods, were $110.6 million at September 27, 2009 and $111.6 million at December 28, 2008.
Note 8. Supplemental Balance Sheet Information
Other long-term assets included amounts related to a deferred compensation plan of $25.2 million and $18.6 million at September 27, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively. Accrued liabilities included salaries and wages and other related compensation liabilities of $79.5 million and $77.8 million at September 27, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively. Accrued liabilities also included customer related deposits and credits of $30.4 million and $42.4 million at September 27, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively. Other long-term liabilities included aircraft product liability reserves of $40.1 million and $37.1 million at September 27, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively. Other long-term liabilities also included liabilities of $25.6 million and $19.2 million at September 27, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively, related to a deferred compensation plan. Other long-term liabilities also included reserves for workers’ compensation, environmental liabilities and the long-term portion of compensation liabilities.
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 pre-existing warranty liabilities 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, which are typically one year. The product warranty reserve is included in current accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 are as follows (in millions):
                 
    First Nine Months  
    2009     2008

The Company establishes reserves for product returns and replacements on a product-specific basis when circumstances giving rise to the return become known. Facts and circumstances related to a return, including where the product affected by the return is located (e.g., the end user, customers’ inventory, or in Teledyne’s inventory) and cost estimates to return, repair and/or replace the product are considered when establishing a product return reserve. The reserve is reevaluated each period and is adjusted when the reserve is either not sufficient to cover or exceeds the estimated product return expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2008, in connection with a voluntary product recall of certain aircraft piston engine cylinders, the Company recorded an $18.0 million charge, of which $15.8 million was related to the costs associated with the return and replacement of product and $1.4 million was related to the disposal and write-off of inventory which were recorded as cost of sales; $0.8 million was related to estimated customer returns and was recorded as a reduction to sales. The Company had reserves related to the costs associated with the return and replacement of product, of $5.5 million and $15.6 million at September 27, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively, which is included in current accrued liabilities. At September 27, 2009, the Company also has $2.9 million in inventory reserves associated with the return and replacement of product and a $0.2 million reduction of accounts receivable.
Note 9. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 were 17.3% and 31.3%, respectively, compared with 36.9% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2008. The first nine months of 2009 includes research and development tax credits of $8.2 million recorded in the third quarter, following a formal communication from the Internal Revenue Service of a more favorable tax position than the Company’s original measurement in connection with an ongoing audit of the research and development tax credit for prior years. The first nine months also included the reversal of $1.1 million recorded in the third quarter in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations and additional income tax expense of $0.3 million recorded in the first quarter, primarily related to the impact of California income tax law changes. Excluding these amounts, the Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 would have been 38.8%. Excluding the amounts recorded in the third quarter, the Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 would have been 39.1%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 reflected the impact of a research and development income tax credit of $1.3 million for the 2007 tax year which was recorded in the first quarter of 2008 and also reflects the third quarter reversal of $0.8 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Excluding these items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 would have been 38.3%. Excluding the amount recorded in the third quarter, the Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 would have been 38.6%.
Except for claims for refunds related to credits for research and development activities, the Company has concluded all U.S. federal and California income tax matters for all years through 2004. Substantially all other material state, local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2003. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.
In the normal course of its business the Company provides for uncertain tax positions, and the related interest and penalties, and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest and penalties accordingly. During the third quarter of 2009, unrecognized tax benefits related to the measurement of research credits and other federal issues, and the expiration of statute of limitations for various state tax issues decreased by $9.1 million. For the first nine months of 2009, unrecognized tax benefits related to the measurement of a refund claim for research credits and other federal issues, and the expiration of statute of limitations for various state tax issues decreased by $9.1 million. As of September 27, 2009 the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits relating were $27.7 million, of which the entire balance would, if recognized, positively affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

13


Table of Contents

During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that tax audit resolutions and expirations of the statute of limitations could reduce unrecognized tax benefits by $1.1 million to $12.1 million, either because our tax positions are sustained on audit, because the Company agrees to their disallowance, or the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Note 10. Long-Term Debt and Capital Leases
At September 27, 2009, Teledyne Technologies had $301.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under its $590.0 million credit facility. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until it matures in July 2011. Available borrowing capacity under the $590.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, was $275.0 million at September 27, 2009. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants, including maintaining certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, as well as minimum net worth levels and limits on acquired debt. At September 27, 2009, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Company also has a $5.0 million uncommitted credit line available. This credit line is utilized, as needed, for periodic cash needs. Total debt at September 27, 2009, includes $301.0 million outstanding under the $590.0 million credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of 1.01%. The Company also has $12.6 million in capital leases, of which $0.5 million is current. At September 27, 2009, Teledyne Technologies had $14.0 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Note 11. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws.
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2008 Form 10-K, environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, investigations are not yet at a stage where the Company has been able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, or certain components thereof. Estimates of the Company’s liability are subject to uncertainties as described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2008 Form 10-K. As investigation and remediation of these sites proceeds, it is likely that adjustments in the Company’s accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a given period, but the amounts, and the possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, management does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued, with respect to sites with which the Company has been identified, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company cannot provide assurance that additional future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
At September 27, 2009, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $3.3 million, of which $1.0 million is included in current accrued liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance carriers and from third parties. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.
Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) may be asserted against the Company related to its U.S. Government contract work, including claims based on business practices and cost classifications and actions under the False Claims Act. Although such claims are generally resolved by detailed fact-finding and negotiation, on those occasions when they are not so resolved, civil or criminal legal or administrative proceedings may ensue. Depending on the circumstances and the

14


Table of Contents

outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts based on the results of investigations. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe there is any audit, review or investigation currently pending against the Company, of which management is aware, that is likely to result in suspension or debarment of the Company, or that is otherwise likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. The resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could, however, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial contracts, employment and employee benefits. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. The resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period. Teledyne Technologies has aircraft and product liability insurance with an annual self-insured retention for general aviation aircraft liabilities incurred in connection with products manufactured by Teledyne Continental Motors of $17.2 million for its current aircraft product liability insurance policies which expire on May 31, 2010. At September 27, 2009, the Company’s reserves for aircraft product liabilities totaled $42.1 million, of which $2.0 million is included in current liabilities. The reserve is developed based on several factors, including the number and nature of claims, the level of annual self-insurance retentions, historic payments and consultations with our insurers and outside counsel, all of which are used as a basis for estimating future losses.
Note 12. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
Teledyne Technologies has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2004. The Company’s assumed discount rate on plan liabilities is 6.25% for 2009 and was 6.0% for 2008. The Company’s assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is 8.25% for 2009 and was 8.5% for 2008.
Teledyne Technologies’ net periodic pension expense was $5.7 million and $16.9 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with net periodic pension expense of $2.4 million and $7.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.1 million and $9.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $2.4 million and $7.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government. The Company made an $80.0 million voluntary contribution to its pension plan in the first quarter of 2009 and a $37.0 million voluntary contribution to its pension plan in the third quarter of 2009, compared with a $2.2 million required contribution for the first quarter of 2008, a $2.5 million required contribution for the second quarter of 2008 and a $24.0 million contribution for the third quarter of 2008, of which $2.0 million was required.
The Company sponsors several postretirement defined benefit plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retirees.

Note 13. Industry Segments
Teledyne is a leading provider of sophisticated electronic components and subsystems, instrumentation and communications products, engineered systems and information technology services, general aviation engines and components, and energy generation, energy storage and small propulsion products. Its customers include government agencies, aerospace prime contractors, energy exploration and production companies, major industrial companies, and airlines and general aviation companies.
Teledyne operates in four business segments: Electronics and Communications, Engineered Systems, Aerospace Engines and Components and Energy and Power Systems. The factors for determining the reportable segments were based on the distinct nature of their operations. They are managed as separate business units because each requires and is responsible for executing a unique business strategy.
Segment operating profit includes other income and expense directly related to the segment, but excludes minority interest, interest income and expense, gains and losses on the disposition of assets, sublease rental income and non-revenue licensing and royalty income, domestic and foreign income taxes and corporate office expenses.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Strategy
Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our core markets of instrumentation, defense electronics and government engineered systems. Our core markets are characterized by high barriers to entry and include specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. We intend to strengthen and expand our core businesses with targeted acquisitions. We intend to aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings. At Teledyne, operational excellence includes the rapid integration of the businesses we acquire. Over time, our goal is to create a set of businesses that are truly superior in their niches. We intend to continue to evaluate our product lines to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.
The table below summarizes the acquisitions made during fiscal year 2008. Other than the purchase of the assets of a marine sensor product line for $1.4 million and all of the remaining 14.1% minority interest in Ocean Design, Inc.

Results of Operations
Third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008
Teledyne Technologies’ third quarter 2009 sales were $429.4 million, compared with sales of $497.6 million for the same period of 2008, a decrease of 13.7%. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2009 was $35.1 million ($0.96 per diluted share) compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $30.9 million ($0.84 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 13.6%. The decrease in sales for the 2009 period, compared with the same 2008 period, reflected the impact of the general economic downturn, partially offset by revenue from acquisitions. Net income in the third quarter of 2009 includes research and development tax credits of $8.2 million.
The third quarter of 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, reflected lower sales in each operating segment. The Electronics and Communications segment sales included revenue from strategic acquisitions made in 2008 which were more than offset by lower organic sales. Incremental revenue in the third quarter of 2009 from businesses acquired in 2008 was $6.4 million.
The increase in earnings for the third quarter of 2009, compared with the same period of 2008, reflected the impact of research and development tax credits of $8.2 million, partially offset by lower operating profit in each operating segment except the Energy and Power Systems segment. Segment operating profit reflected the impact of lower sales as well as higher pension costs, partially offset by cost reductions implemented during the year. The incremental operating profit in the third quarter of 2009 from businesses acquired in 2008, including synergies, was $0.1 million.
The third quarter of 2009 included pension expense of $5.7 million, compared with pension expense of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in 2009 pension expense primarily reflects the impact of the reduction in pension assets in 2008 due to negative market returns. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with pension expense of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Table of Contents

For the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, we recorded a total of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense. The lower 2009 amount reflects the decision to eliminate the annual employee stock option grant for 2009.
Cost of sales in total dollars was lower in the third quarter of 2009, compared with the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to lower sales as well as recent cost reductions, partially offset by the impact from acquisitions made in 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of 2009 increased to 70.8% from 70.0% for the third quarter of 2008 and reflected the impact of lower sales while pension expense increased and certain fixed costs remained flat, partially offset by recent cost reductions. Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2009 also reflected lower LIFO expense of $1.1 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, in total dollars were lower in the third quarter of 2009, compared with the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to lower sales and lower corporate expense, partially offset by the impact from acquisitions made in 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2009, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 19.0%, compared with 19.5% in the third quarter of 2008 and reflected the impact of lower corporate expense and lower stock option compensation expense. Corporate expense was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared with $7.7 million for the same period in 2008 and reflected lower professional fees and lower compensation accruals.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in net interest expense reflected the impact of lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher outstanding debt levels.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 17.3% compared with 36.9% for the third quarter of 2008. The third quarter of 2009 includes research and development tax credits of $8.2 million following a formal communication from the Internal Revenue Service of a more favorable tax position than the Company’s original measurement in connection with an ongoing audit of the research and development tax credit for prior years. The first nine months also included the reversal of $1.1 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Excluding these amounts the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 would have been 39.1%. The third quarter of 2008 reflects the reversal of $0.8 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Excluding this item the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 would have been 38.6%.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that tax audit resolutions and expirations of the statute of limitations could reduce unrecognized tax benefits by $1.1 million to $12.1 million, either because our tax positions are sustained on audit, because the Company agrees to their disallowance, or the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries’ earnings reflects the minority ownership interest in ODI and Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc. The lower amount in 2009, primarily reflects the decrease in minority ownership interest in ODI due to share purchases by Teledyne in 2008 and 2009.
First nine months of 2009 compared with the first nine months of 2008
Teledyne Technologies’ sales for the first nine months of 2009 were $1,310.8 million, compared with sales of $1,428.2 million for the same period of 2008, a decrease of 8.2%. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the first nine months of 2009 was $81.1 million ($2.22 per diluted share) compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $91.4 million ($2.50 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 11.3%. The decrease in sales for the 2009 period, compared with the same 2008 period, reflected the impact of the general economic downturn, partially offset by revenue from acquisitions. Net income in the first nine months of 2009 includes research and development tax credits of $8.2 million, recorded in the third quarter.
The first nine months of 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, reflected lower sales in each operating segment. The Electronics and Communications segment sales included revenue from strategic acquisitions made in 2008 which were more than offset by lower organic sales. Incremental revenue in the first nine months of 2009 from businesses acquired in 2008 was $35.5 million.
The decrease in earnings for the first nine months of 2009, compared with the same period of 2008, reflected lower operating profit in each operating segment. The decrease in earnings reflected the impact of lower sales as well as

higher pension costs, partially offset by the impact of research and development tax credits of $8.2 million and by cost reductions implemented during the year. Incremental operating profit in the first nine months of 2009 from businesses acquired in 2008, including synergies, was $0.7 million.
The first nine months of 2009 included pension expense of $16.9 million, compared with pension expense of $7.2 million in the first nine months of 2008. The increase in 2009 pension expense primarily reflects the impact of the reduction in pension assets in 2008 due to negative market returns. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $9.3 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared with pension expense of $7.1 million in the first nine months of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, we recorded a total of $4.1 million and $5.6 million respectively in stock option compensation expense.
Cost of sales in total dollars was lower in the first nine months of 2009, compared with the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to lower sales as well as recent cost reductions, partially offset by the impact from acquisitions made in 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first nine months of 2009 increased to 71.1% from 69.6% for the first nine months of 2008 and reflected the impact of lower sales while pension expense increased and certain fixed costs remained flat, partially offset by recent cost reductions. Cost of sales for the first nine months of 2009 also reflected lower LIFO expense of $2.4 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, in total dollars were lower in the first nine months of 2009, compared with the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to lower sales and lower corporate expense, partially offset by the impact from acquisitions made in 2008. Corporate expense was $19.0 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with $23.6 million for the same period in 2008 and reflected lower professional fees and lower compensation accruals. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2009, as a percentage of sales, increased slightly to 19.6%, compared with 19.5% in the first nine months of 2008.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $8.0 million for the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in net interest expense reflected the impact of lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher outstanding debt levels. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 was 31.3% compared with 36.9% for the first nine months of 2008. The first nine months of 2009 includes research and development tax credits of $8.2 million following a formal communication from the Internal Revenue Service of a more favorable tax position than the Company’s original measurement in connection with an ongoing audit of the research and development tax credit for prior years. The first nine months also included the reversal of $1.1 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations and additional income tax expense of $0.3 million, primarily related to the impact of California income tax law changes. Excluding these amounts, the Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 would have been 38.8%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 reflects a research and development income tax refund of $1.3 million for the 2007 tax year which was recorded in the first quarter of 2008 and also reflects the third quarter reversal of $0.8 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Excluding these items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 would have been 38.3%.
Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries’ earnings reflects the minority ownership interest in ODI and Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc. The lower amount in 2009, primarily reflects the decrease in minority ownership interest in ODI due to share purchases by Teledyne in 2008 and 2009.

The first nine months also included the reversal in the third quarter of 2009 of $1.1 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations and additional income tax expense of $0.3 million primarily related to the impact of California income tax law changes recorded in the first quarter. The first nine months of 2008 includes income tax credits of $1.3 million recorded in the first quarter of 2008 and also reflects the reversal in the third quarter of 2008 of $0.8 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.

Electronics and Communications
Third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008
Our Electronics and Communications segment’s third quarter 2009 sales were $295.2 million, compared with $330.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 10.6%. Third quarter 2009 operating profit was $39.7 million, compared with operating profit of $46.0 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 13.7%.
The third quarter 2009 sales decrease resulted from lower sales of electronic instrumentation and other commercial electronics. The revenue decrease in electronic instrumentation of $23.4 million primarily reflected reduced sales of geophysical sensors for the energy exploration market, as well as environmental instruments for air and water quality monitoring, partially offset by acquisitions made in 2008. Lower sales of other commercial electronics of $10.2 million primarily reflected reduced sales of electronic manufacturing services and other electronic components. Revenue in the third quarter of 2009 included revenue from acquisitions made in 2008 of $6.4 million. The decrease in segment operating profit primarily reflected the impact of reduced sales, partially offset

by a reduction in certain insurance reserves. The incremental operating profit in the third quarter of 2009 from businesses acquired in 2008, including synergies, was $0.1 million. Operating profit also included pension expense of $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2008. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2008.
First nine months of 2009 compared with the first nine months of 2008
Our Electronics and Communications segment’s first nine months 2009 sales were $910.3 million, compared with first nine months 2008 sales of $947.9 million, a decrease of 4.0%. First nine months 2009 operating profit was $117.9 million, compared with operating profit of $133.3 million in the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 11.6%.
The first nine months 2009 sales decline resulted from lower sales of other commercial electronics and electronic instrumentation, partially offset by revenue growth in defense electronics. The revenue growth of $10.6 million in defense electronics was primarily driven by acquisitions made in 2008, partially offset by slightly lower organic sales. The revenue decrease in electronic instrumentation of $16.9 million reflected lower organic sales, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions made in 2008. The lower organic sales of electronic instruments reflected reduced sales geophysical sensors for the energy exploration market and environmental instruments for air and water quality monitoring. Lower sales of other commercial electronics of $31.3 million reflected reduced sales of avionics, medical manufacturing services and other electronic components. Revenue in the first nine months of 2009 included revenue from acquisitions made in 2008 of $35.5 million. The decrease in operating profit primarily reflected reduced sales and sales mix differences and higher pension expense, partially offset by a reduction in certain insurance reserves. Operating profit in the first nine months of 2008 was favorably impacted by a settlement of $2.0 million. The incremental operating profit in the first nine months of 2009 from businesses acquired in 2008, including synergies, was $0.7 million. Operating profit included $1.9 million of stock option compensation expense in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $2.7 million for the first nine months of 2008. Operating profit included pension expense of $7.1 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2008. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2008.
Engineered Systems
Third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008
Our Engineered Systems segment’s third quarter 2009 sales were $82.0 million, compared with $97.9 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 16.2%. Operating profit was $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared with operating profit of $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 31.3%.
The third quarter 2009 sales reflected lower revenue in manufacturing, aerospace and defense programs of $14.7 million and lower environmental sales of $1.2 million. The sales decrease primarily reflected lower sales of manufactured products including gas centrifuge service modules, as well as reduced aerospace and defense engineering services. Operating profit in the third quarter of 2009 reflected the impact of lower revenue and higher pension expense. Operating profit included pension expense of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2008. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2008.
Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. manufactures gas centrifuge service modules for Fluor Enterprises, Inc., acting as agent for USEC Inc., used in the American Centrifuge Plant. We currently anticipate reduced sales of gas centrifuge service modules in 2010 due to a suspension of work notice received on August 13, 2009, caused by the U.S. Department of Energy’s delayed decision regarding USEC’s application for a loan guarantee to complete construction of the American Centrifuge Plant. In addition, given reduced program funding, as well as changes to contracting policy by the U.S. Government, we expect reduced sales of missile defense engineering services in 2010.
First nine months of 2009 compared with the first nine months of 2008
Our Engineered Systems segment’s first nine months 2009 sales were $260.5 million, compared with first nine months 2008 sales of $277.1 million, a decrease of 6.0%. First nine months 2009 operating profit was $23.6 million, compared with operating profit of $27.4 million for the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 13.9%.

23


Table of Contents

The first nine months 2009 sales reflected lower revenue in manufacturing, aerospace and defense programs of $14.3 million and lower environmental sales of $2.3 million. The sales decrease primarily reflected the third quarter impact of lower sales of manufactured products including gas centrifuge service modules, as well as reduced aerospace and defense engineering services. Operating profit in the first nine months of 2009 primarily reflected the impact of lower revenue and higher pension expense. Operating profit included pension expense of $8.3 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2008. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $7.3 million in the first nine months of 2009 and $5.7 million for the first nine months of 2008.
Aerospace Engines and Components
Third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008
Our Aerospace Engines and Components segment’s third quarter 2009 sales were $30.5 million, compared with $46.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 34.1%. Operating profit was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared with operating profit of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 20.0%.
Sales were lower primarily as a result of reduced sales of OEM piston engines, as well as aftermarket parts and services, due to lower demand in the general aviation market. The decrease in operating profit primarily reflected the impact of significantly reduced sales, partially offset by a reduction in certain insurance reserves. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2008 reflected higher manufacturing costs and higher legal fees.
In October, the Company learned of a product issue with certain aircraft piston engine valve lifters produced after June 2009. The valve lifters were produced by our supplier. This issue has required the grounding of a limited number of aircraft for inspections and related replacement of the valve lifters. We are still evaluating the cost to inspect and replace the valve lifters, however we currently believe the cost impact is not material. We are working with our supplier base for valve lifters and believe this will not impact fourth quarter production of aircraft piston engines but we cannot be certain at this time.
First nine months of 2009 compared with the first nine months of 2008
Our Aerospace Engines and Components segment’s first nine months 2009 sales were $86.2 million, compared with first nine months 2008 sales of $140.7 million, a decrease of 38.7%. The first nine months 2009 operating loss was $2.4 million, compared with operating profit of $11.1 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Sales were lower in all end markets, including OEM piston engines, aftermarket engines and spare parts, due to lower demand in the general aviation market. The decrease in operating profit primarily reflected the impact of significantly reduced sales and a $0.3 million charge related to past due accounts receivable, partially offset by a favorable worker’s compensation settlement of $0.9 million, a reduction in certain insurance reserves and lower LIFO expense of $0.9 million. Operating profit also included pension expense of $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Energy and Power Systems
Third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008
Our Energy and Power Systems segment’s third quarter 2009 sales were $21.7 million, compared with $23.1 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 6.1%. Operating profit was $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared with operating profit of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 4.5%.
Third quarter 2009 sales primarily reflected lower aerospace battery product sales and lower sales of commercial hydrogen generators, partially offset by increased sales of power systems for government applications. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2009 included LIFO income of $0.2 million compared with $0.3 million of LIFO expense in 2008. Operating profit also included the impact of lower sales, partially offset by higher margins in the turbine engine business.

First nine months of 2009 compared with the first nine months of 2008
Our Energy and Power Systems segment’s first nine months 2009 sales were $53.8 million, compared with $62.5 million for the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 13.9%. Operating profit was $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with $7.2 million for the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of 63.9%.
The first nine months 2009 sales reflected higher government power systems sales more than offset by lower turbine engine, commercial hydrogen generators and battery products sales. Operating profit reflected the impact of lower sales and a $1.4 million product replacement reserve for commercial energy systems, partially offset by lower LIFO expense of $1.0 million. Operating profit in the first nine months of 2008 was favorably impacted by $1.3 million for environmental reserves no longer needed due to a final settlement.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $75.1 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with net cash provided of $112.9 million for the same period of 2008. The lower cash provided by operating activities in 2009 was primarily due to higher pretax pension contributions of $88.3 million and lower net income, partially offset by lower income tax payments, net of refunds, of $34.6 million and lower aircraft product defense and settlement payments of $6.3 million.
Our net cash used by investing activities was $53.6 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with cash used by investing activities of $278.5 million for the first nine months of 2008. The 2009 amount included $25.5 million paid for the purchase of all of the remaining shares of ODI, $1.4 million to acquire assets of a marine sensor product line, a scheduled payment of $0.3 million for a prior acquisition and a $0.3 million receipt for a purchase price adjustment for a prior acquisition. The 2008 amount included $250.1 million for the purchase of businesses, net of cash acquired.
On August 16, 2006, Teledyne Technologies through its subsidiary, Teledyne Instruments, Inc., acquired an initial majority interest in ODI for approximately $30 million in cash. Pursuant to agreements made in connection with our acquisition of a majority interest in ODI, Teledyne Instruments made subsequent share purchases at a formula-determined price based principally on ODI’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the twelve months preceding each applicable quarter end. In the third quarter of 2009, Teledyne Instruments purchased all the remaining minority shares for $19.6 million and now owns 100% of ODI. Ownership purchases in ODI were as follows, including the initial purchase in 2006 and the final purchase in 2009: 2006 — 60.9% for $35.8 million, 2007 — 0.9% for $0.9 million, 2008 — 24.1% for $38.5 million and 2009 — 14.1% for $25.5 million.
Teledyne Technologies funded the acquisitions and the purchases of ODI shares in 2009 and in 2008 primarily from borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 were $26.8 million and $28.4 million, respectively.
Teledyne Technologies’ goodwill was $510.5 million at September 27, 2009 and $502.5 million at December 28, 2008. Teledyne Technologies’ net acquired intangible assets were $107.8 million at September 27, 2009 and $117.0 million at December 28, 2008. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2009 primarily resulted from foreign currency changes, the acquisition of the assets of a marine sensor product line and an adjustment to reflect the finalization of the Webb and the Filtronic intangible asset valuations. The change in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2009 resulted from the amortization of acquired intangible assets, partially offset by foreign currency changes, intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of the assets of a marine sensor product line and an adjustment to reflect the finalization of the Webb and Filtronic intangible asset valuations. The Company completed the purchase price valuation for the Webb acquisition, and as a result, goodwill was decreased by $1.1 million and other acquired intangible assets were increased by $1.1 million. The Company also completed the purchase price valuation for the Filtronic acquisition, and as a result, goodwill was increased by $3.3 million and other acquired intangible assets were decreased by $3.3 million. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to intangible assets, as well as certain assets and liabilities for the Cormon, Odom and Demo acquisitions made in 2008. The Company made preliminary estimates as of September 27, 2009, since there was insufficient time between the acquisition dates and the end of the period to finalize the valuations. There were no significant adjustments to the estimated amounts during the first nine months of 2009.
Financing activities used cash of $20.3 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with cash provided of $167.0 million for the first nine months of 2008. Cash used by financing activities for the first nine months of

Table of Contents

2009 included net repayments of debt of $20.3 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2008 included net borrowings of $145.0 million, primarily to fund acquisitions. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.5 million and $12.1 million for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The first nine months of 2009 and 2008 included $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively, in excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Teledyne Technologies paid $0.8 million to repurchase 36,239 shares of Teledyne common stock under a stock repurchase program announced in February 2009. Under the stock repurchase program, Teledyne can repurchase up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions through February 28, 2010. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchases will be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility. The last repurchase was made in March 2009.
Working capital was $257.0 million at September 27, 2009, compared with $281.3 million at December 28, 2008. The lower amount at September 27, 2009 primarily reflects the impact of lower trade receivables, lower inventory levels and lower income taxes receivable due to the receipt of a refund.
Teledyne made pretax contributions of $117.0 million to its pension plan in the first nine months of 2009, compared with $28.7 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Our principal cash and capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, pension contributions and debt service requirements, as well as acquisitions. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements over the next twelve months. To support acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. We currently expect capital expenditures to be in the range of approximately $35.0 million to $40.0 million in 2009, of which $26.8 million has been spent in the first nine months of 2009.
Our credit facility has lender commitments totaling $590.0 million and expires on July 14, 2011. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until it matures. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants, including maintaining certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, as well as minimum net worth levels and limits on acquired debt. At September 27, 2009, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Available borrowing capacity under the $590.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, was $275.0 million at September 27, 2009.
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: revenue recognition; aircraft product liability reserve; accounting for pension plans; accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other long-lived assets; and accounting for income taxes. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see 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 Technologies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008 (2008 Form 10-K).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In the third quarter of 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The ASC does not alter current U.S. GAAP, but rather integrates existing accounting standards with other authoritative guidance. The ASC provides a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities and supersedes all other previously issued non-SEC accounting and reporting guidance. The adoption of the ASC did not have any effect on our results of operations or financial position. All prior references to U.S. GAAP have been revised to conform to the ASC. Updates to the ASC are issued in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).
In May 2009, we adopted ASC 855, (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date. Entities are also required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. ASC 855 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted the provisions effective with the second quarter 2009 and has evaluated subsequent events through November 4, 2009, which is the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, ASC 820-10-65, (formerly SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When Market Activity Has Decreased,”), ASC 320-10-65 (formerly FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2, “Other-Than-Temporary Impairment”) and ASC 825-10-65, (formerly FSP 107-1/APB 28-1, “Interim Fair Value Disclosures for Financial Instruments.”) were issued. These topics impact certain aspects of fair value measurement and related disclosures. The provisions of these topics were effective beginning in the second quarter of 2009. The impact of adopting these topics in the second quarter of 2009 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Effective December 29, 2008 Teledyne adopted the provisions of ASC 80, (formerly SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”). This revised guidance establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with an exception related to the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies related to acquisitions completed before the effective date. The revised guidance also requires adjustments, made after the effective date, to valuation allowances for acquired deferred tax assets and income tax positions to be recognized as income tax expense. The adoption of the revised guidance, effective December 29, 2008, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position for the acquisitions made prior to its adoption. For any acquisitions completed after our 2008 fiscal year, we expect the revised guidance will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, however the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions, if any, we consummate. In 2009, Teledyne acquired assets of a marine sensor product line for an initial payment of $1.4 million. Due to the size of the purchase, the revised guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Effective December 29, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 810-10-65 (formerly SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”). The revised guidance new accounting, reporting and disclosure standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the condensed consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents’ equity. The revised guidance was applied prospectively as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which were applied retrospectively for the prior period presented. In connection with the adoption, and in compliance with ASC 480 (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts Topic No. D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”), the Company restated the prior year balance sheet to reflect the fair value of the obligation to purchase the remaining shares of ODI of $24.2 million at fiscal year end 2008 as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified the amount as mezzanine equity (temporary equity) on the balance sheet. The Company also restated the year end 2008 balance in retained earnings to reflect a corresponding $24.2 million decrease. Additionally, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interests of $4.1 million, related to ODI, from long-term liabilities at year end 2008 to redeemable noncontrolling interest on the

Table of Contents

balance sheet. The Company also reclassified noncontrolling interests of $1.1 million, related to Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc., from long-term liabilities at year end 2008 to the noncontrolling interest component of the equity section of the balance sheet. In 2009, Teledyne purchased all of the remaining 14.1% minority interest in Ocean Design, Inc. (“ODI”) for $25.5 million and now owns 100% of ODI.
In September 2006 and in February 2009, the FASB issued guidelines, under ASC 820, (formerly SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” and related FASB Staff Positions) related to fair value measurements that, defines fair value, establishes a framework in generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidelines do not increase the use of fair value measurement and only apply when other guidelines require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. The implementation of the guidelines for financial assets and financial liabilities, effective December 31, 2007, and the implementation the guidelines for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, effective December 29, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
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, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, product sales, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, tax credits and strategic plans. All statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 continuing disruptions in the global economy, insurance and credit markets, changes in demand for products sold to the defense electronics, instrumentation and energy exploration and production, commercial aviation, semiconductor and communications markets, funding, continuation and award of government programs, continued liquidity of our suppliers and customers (including commercial aviation customers), availability of credit to our suppliers and customers, and the availability of valve lifters and the cost of the valve lifter issue at Teledyne Continental Motors, Inc. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. Lower oil and natural gas prices could negatively affect our business units that supply the oil and gas industry. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of our pension assets.
Global responses to terrorism and other perceived threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our businesses. Various responses to terrorism and perceived threats could realign government programs, and affect the composition, funding or timing of our programs. Flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for general aviation aircraft piston engines and components. Changes in U.S. Government policy could result, over time, in reductions and realignment in defense or other government spending and further changes in programs in which the Company participates including anticipated reductions in the Company’s missile defense engineering services and nuclear manufacturing programs.
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 not be detected.
While our growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses and to achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses outside of the United States, including those arising from U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fluctuations.
Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne Technologies’ periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 2008 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. We assume no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes to the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interest Rate Exposure
We are exposed to market risk through the interest rate on our borrowings under our amended and restated credit facility. Borrowings under our credit facility are at variable rates which are at our option tied to a eurodollar base rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable rate or a base rate as defined in our credit agreement. LIBOR based loans under the facility typically have terms of one, two, three or six months and the interest rate for each such loan is subject to change if the loan is continued or converted following the applicable maturity date. Base rate loans have interest rates that primarily fluctuate with changes in the prime rate. Interest rates are also subject to change based on our debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio. As of September 27, 2009, we had $301.0 million in outstanding indebtedness under our amended and restated credit facility. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $3.0 million, assuming the $301.0 million in debt was outstanding for the full year.
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 September 27, 2009, are effective.
In connection with our evaluation during the quarterly period ended September 27, 2009, we have made no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. There also were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified for which corrective action needed to be taken.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K in response to Item 1A to Part 1 of Form 10-K, except as disclosed in Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk under Interest Rate Exposure and except as set forth below:
Our businesses and financial results could be adversely affected by any prolonged epidemic or pandemic of the H1N1 virus, commonly known as the “swine flu,” or other contagious infection in the markets in which we do business. We could have worker absences, lower productivity, voluntary closure of our offices and manufacturing facilities, disruptions in our supply chain, travel restrictions on our employees, and other disruptions to our business. Moreover, health epidemics may force local health and government authorities to mandate the temporary closure of our offices and manufacturing facilities, as was done with our Mexican operations in 2008.
Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the third quarter of 2009, we made no repurchases of our common stock under the program announced on February 25, 2009, which authorized the repurchase of up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. To date, Teledyne Technologies has repurchased 36,239 shares of Teledyne common stock for $0.8 million under the program.
