TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
October 1, 2017

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 accounting principles generally accepted 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, 2017 (“2016 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of Teledyne’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Teledyne’s consolidated financial position as of October 1, 2017 and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated comprehensive income 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 October 1, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the computation of the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record a goodwill impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption of this standard will reduce the complexity surrounding the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. The impact of this new standard for the Company will depend on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This ASU requires the service cost component of net benefit costs to be disaggregated from all other components and be reported in the same line item or items as other compensation costs and allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and before income from operations. This ASU is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the components of net benefit cost, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost. The adoption of this standard will not impact pre-tax income or earnings per share reported for the years ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017 and is not expected to materially impact pre-tax income or earnings per share for the year ended December 30, 2018. The impacts to operating income from the re-classification of the other components of net benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017 are immaterial. The impacts to operating income from the re-classification of the other components on net benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be known when the Company measures its plan assets and benefit obligations as of December 31, 2017.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The new standard, as subsequently amended, is effective for Teledyne for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.
Under the new standard, an entity recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to the customer, either at a point in time or over time. Under the new standard, Teledyne expects to recognize revenue over time on most of its contracts that are covered by contract accounting standards using cost inputs to measure progress toward completion of its performance obligations, which is similar to the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) cost-to-

5


cost method currently used on certain of these contracts.  Therefore, adoption of the ASU will primarily impact our contracts for which revenue is currently recognized using the POC units-of-delivery and milestone methods as we expect to recognize revenue for these contracts over time using the POC cost-to-cost method. These contracts represent approximately half of the revenue currently recognized under the POC method. The percentage of Teledyne revenue recognized using any POC method was 30.5% in 2016, 31.2% in 2015, and 28.7% in 2014. Also, to a lesser extent, we expect certain ship and bill contracts for custom products and products sold to the U.S. Government, as well as service and repair contracts will be recognized over time. Accordingly, revenue will be recognized earlier in the performance period as costs are incurred, as opposed to recognizing revenue when units are delivered, milestones achieved or services performed. This change will also impact our backlog and balance sheet presentation with an expected decrease in inventories, an increase in accounts receivable (i.e., unbilled receivables) and a net increase to retained earnings to primarily reflect the impact of converting certain ship and bill contracts and contracts currently applying the units-of-delivery and milestone methods to the cost-to-cost method for recognizing revenue and profits.
The Company will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method and is currently quantifying the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Under the modified retrospective transition method, the Company will be required to calculate and record the cumulative-effect of adopting the new standard as of January 1, 2018, in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adopting the new standard to retained earnings is not known at this time, as it will be dependent on the affected contracts that have not been substantially completed as of December 31, 2017.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. This ASU expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components, and this ASU simplifies and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. Teledyne is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Finally, the company provides high reliability semiconductors and board-level solutions for use in aerospace, space and communications applications. Teledyne funded the acquisition of e2v with borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand as well as $100.0 million in a newly issued term loan.
Most of e2v’s operations are included in the Digital Imaging and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments. The Instrumentation segment includes a small portion of e2v’s operations. Principally located in Chelmsford, United Kingdom and Grenoble, France, e2v had sales of approximately £236 million for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. e2v’s results have been included since the date of the acquisition and include $181.7 million in net sales and operating income of $19.1 million, which included $9.4 million in acquisition-related costs and $7.7 million in additional intangible asset amortization expense.
The first nine months of 2017 includes pretax charges of $28.1 million related to the acquisition of e2v, which included $13.0 million in transaction costs, including stamp duty, advisory, legal and other consulting fees and other costs recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses, $6.8 million in inventory fair value step-up amortization expense recorded to cost of sales, $2.3 million in bank bridge facility commitment expense recorded to interest expense and $6.0 million related to a foreign currency option contract expense to hedge the e2v purchase price recorded as other expense. Of these amounts, $9.4 million impacted segment operating income.
The unaudited proforma information below, as required by GAAP, assumes that e2v had been acquired at the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year and includes the effect of increased interest expense on net acquisition debt and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The 2016 first nine months proforma amounts also include $14.9 million in transaction costs, including legal and other consulting fees, $11.5 million in expense related to a foreign currency option contract to hedge the e2v purchase price, $2.8 million in bridge financing costs and $6.8 million in inventory fair value step-up amortization expense. These amounts totaling $36.0 million (which includes $2.9 million for the third quarter) should be considered non-recurring costs that were necessary to complete the acquisition and are not indicative of the ongoing operations of the combined company.
This unaudited proforma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition been in effect at the beginning of the periods presented. In addition, the unaudited proforma results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that might be achievable.

Other Acquisitions
On July 20, 2017, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired assets of Scientific Systems, Inc. (“SSI”) for $31.0 million in cash. Headquartered in State College, PA, SSI manufactures precision components and specialized subassemblies used primarily in analytical and diagnostic instrumentation, such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography systems and specific medical devices and is part of the Instrumentation segment.
Teledyne spent $93.4 million on acquisitions and other investments in 2016. On December 6, 2016, Teledyne Instruments, Inc. acquired Hanson Research Corporation (“Hanson Research”) which specializes in analytical instrumentation for the pharmaceutical industry, for $25.0 million in cash. On November 2, 2016, Teledyne Instruments, Inc. acquired assets of IN USA, Inc. (“IN USA”) which manufactures a range of ozone generators, ozone analyzers and other gas monitoring instruments utilizing ultraviolet and infrared based technologies, for $10.2 million in cash. On May 3, 2016, Teledyne DALSA, Inc., a Canadian-based subsidiary, acquired the assets and business of CARIS, Inc. (“CARIS”) a leading developer of geospatial software designed for the hydrographic and marine community, for a cash payment of $26.2 million, net of cash acquired. On April 15, 2016, Teledyne LeCroy, Inc., a U.S.-based subsidiary, acquired assets of Quantum Data, Inc. (“Quantum Data”) which provides electronic test and measurement instrumentation and is a market leader in video protocol analysis test tools for $17.3 million in cash. On April 6, 2016, Teledyne LeCroy, Inc. also acquired Frontline Test Equipment, Inc. (“Frontline”) which provides electronic test and measurement instrumentation and is a market leader in wireless protocol analysis test tools, for $13.7 million in cash. Each of the 2016 acquisitions are part of the Instrumentation segment except for CARIS which is part of the Digital Imaging segment.
Teledyne funded the SSI acquisition and the 2016 acquisitions from borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand. The results of all the acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of the respective acquisition. The primary reasons for the 2017 and 2016 acquisitions were to strengthen and expand our core businesses through adding complementary product and service offerings, allowing greater integrated products and services, enhancing our technical capabilities 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.
For a further description of the Company’s acquisition activity for fiscal year 2016, please refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
Teledyne’s goodwill was $1,748.9 million at October 1, 2017 and $1,193.5 million at January 1, 2017. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2017 primarily included $471.1 million in goodwill from e2v acquisition, as well as the impact of exchange rate changes. Goodwill from the e2v acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $408.2 million at October 1, 2017 and $234.6 million at January 1, 2017. The increase in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2017 reflected $173.4 million in intangible assets from the e2v acquisition, partially offset by $29.2 million of amortization. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the e2v acquisition, including the allocation by segment. The amounts recorded as of October 1, 2017 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis. In addition, the Company is still in the

9


process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the SSI acquisition made in July 2017 and the IN USA and Hanson Research acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2016. The amounts recorded as of October 1, 2017 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.
Note 4. Derivative Instruments
Teledyne transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary foreign currency risk management objective is to protect the United States dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. As discussed below, the accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, including DALSA and in British pounds for our UK companies, including e2v. These contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company has converted a US dollar denominated, variable rate debt obligation into a euro fixed rate obligation using a receive-float, pay fixed cross currency swap. This cross currency swap is designated as a cash flow hedge.
Cash Flow Hedging Activities
The effectiveness of the forward contract cash flow hedge, which exclude time value, and the cross currency swap cash flow hedge is assessed prospectively and retrospectively on a monthly basis using regression analysis, as well as using other timing and probability criteria. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge forward contracts’ gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is reflected in our consolidated statements of income, at which time the effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. For the cross currency swap cash flow hedge, effective amounts are recorded in AOCI, and reclassified into interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, for the cross currency swap an amount is reclassified from AOCI to other income and expense each reporting period, to offset the earnings impact of the remeasurement of the hedged liability. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for the forward contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $3.8 million. These gains are expected to be offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts related to the cross currency swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the coming twelve months total $1.9 million.
In the event that the gains or losses in AOCI are deemed to be ineffective, the ineffective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value, if any, is reclassified to other income and expense. In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur, within the defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI to other income and expense. During the current reporting period, all forecasted transactions occurred and, therefore, there were no such gains or losses reclassified to other income and expense. As of October 1, 2017, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $84.4 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from December 2017 to February 2019. The cross currency swap has notional amounts of €93.0 million equivalent to $100.0 million, and matures in September 2019.
The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2017 and October 2, 2016 was as follows (in millions):

The above table includes non-designated hedges derived from terms contained in triggered or previously designated cash flow hedges. The gains and losses on these derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments are intended to, at a minimum, partially offset the transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other income and expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2017 was income of $4.8 million and expense of $1.7 million, respectively. The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges in other income and expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2016 was expense of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market expectations at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR and EURIBOR) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and EURIBOR cash and swap rates, foreign currency forward rates and cross currency basis spreads). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. The fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments. Both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share
For the third quarter of 2017, no stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the first nine months of 2017, 600 stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they had exercise prices that were greater than the weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period.
For the third quarter of 2016, no stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the first nine months of 2016, 336,457 stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they had exercise prices that were greater than the weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period.
The weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share consisted of the following (in millions):

Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Teledyne has long-term incentive plans pursuant to which it has granted non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and performance shares to certain employees. The Company also has non-employee Board of Director stock compensation plans, pursuant to which non-qualified stock options and common stock, and beginning in 2015 restricted stock units, have been issued to its directors. After 2014, non-employee directors no longer receive non-qualified stock options.
Stock Incentive Plan
The following disclosures are based on stock options granted to Teledyne’s employees and directors. Stock option compensation expense was $3.2 million and $11.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, and was $2.5 million and $8.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016. Employee stock option grants are charged to expense evenly over the three year vesting period. For 2017, the Company currently expects approximately $14.4 million in stock option compensation expense based on stock options currently outstanding. This amount can be impacted by employee retirements and terminations or stock options granted during the remainder of the year. The Company issues shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

The following assumptions were used in the valuation of stock options granted in 2017:
 
2017
Expected volatility
32.3%
Risk-free interest rate range
1.0% to 2.5%
Expected life in years
7.2
Expected dividend yield
Based on the assumptions used in the valuation of stock options, the grant date weighted average fair value of stock options granted in 2017 was $48.45 per share.

Note 7. Inventories
Inventories are stated at current cost net of reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory, less progress payments. Inventories are valued under the FIFO method, LIFO method and average cost method. Inventories at cost determined on the average cost or the FIFO methods were $372.2 million at October 1, 2017 and $268.4 million at January 1, 2017. The remainder of the inventories using the LIFO method were $80.1 million at October 1, 2017 and $68.4 million at January 1, 2017. Interim LIFO calculations are based on the Company’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs since an actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Because these estimates are subject to many factors beyond the Company’s control, interim results are

subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 9. Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. However, losses in certain jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions, are treated separately.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 was 15.6% and 19.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 was 16.7% and 23.9% respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2017 includes net discrete income tax benefits of $9.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. Excluding net discrete income tax items in both 2017 periods, the effective tax rates would have been 27.7% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2017. The 2017 first nine months net discrete tax benefits includes a $7.7 million income tax benefit as a result of the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions due to expiration of statute of limitation, of which $7.4 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2017. The first nine months of 2017 also includes an $8.5 million income tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowance for which the deferred tax assets are now determined more-likely-than-not to be realizable, of which $0.4 million was recorded in the third quarter. The first nine months of 2017 includes a $4.6 million income tax expense related to adjustments for uncertain tax positions. The 2017 third quarter and first nine months net discrete tax benefits also includes $2.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to share-based accounting. The third quarter and first nine months of 2016 included net discrete income tax benefits of $6.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The first nine months of 2016 reflected $6.7 million in income tax expense related to the $17.9 million gain on the sale of a former operating facility. The 2016 third quarter and first nine months also included $4.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, in net discrete tax benefits related to share-based accounting. Excluding net discrete income tax items in both 2016 periods, and the gain and related taxes on the facility sale in 2016, the effective tax rates would have been 27.2% for the third quarter and 27.4% for the first nine months of 2016.

(a) Includes debt issue costs associated with the term loans and senior notes of $2.2 million at October 1, 2017 and $1.4 million at January 1, 2017.
Available borrowing capacity under the $750.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $447.5 million at October 1, 2017. The credit agreements require the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at October 1, 2017, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. In March 2017, Teledyne entered into a $100.0 million term loan with a maturity date of October 30, 2019. Subsequently, in March 2017, Teledyne entered into a cross currency swap to effectively convert the $100.0 million term loan to a €93.0 million denominated instrument with a fixed euro interest rate of 0.7055%. The proceeds from the term loan were used in connection with the acquisition of e2v.
On April 18, 2017, Teledyne entered into a note purchase agreement for a private placement of €250.0 million of senior unsecured notes due through April 2024. Teledyne used the proceeds of the private placement, among other things, to repay indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
Teledyne estimates the fair value of its long-term debt based on debt of similar type, rating and maturity and at comparable interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy and is valued based on observable market data. The estimated fair value of Teledyne’s long-term debt at October 1, 2017 and January 1, 2017, approximated the carrying value.
At October 1, 2017, the Company had $7.0 million in capital leases, of which $1.3 million is current. At January 1, 2017, the Company had $7.4 million in capital leases, of which $1.3 million was current. At October 1, 2017, Teledyne had $20.9 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Note 11. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
For a further description of the Company’s commitments and contingencies, reference is made to Note 14 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017, included in the 2016 Form 10-K.
At October 1, 2017, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $5.5 million, of which $1.7 million is included in current accrued liabilities. At January 1, 2017, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $7.0 million. 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.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to product liability, acquisitions, patent infringement, contracts, environmental, employment and employee benefits matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 12. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
For the domestic pension plan, the discount rate decreased to 4.54% in 2017 compared with a 4.91% discount rate used in 2016. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.5 million and $10.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of both 2017 and 2016, respectively. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government. Teledyne did not make any cash pension contributions to its domestic pension plan in 2017 or 2016. No cash pension contributions are planned for 2017 for the domestic pension plan.

Item 2.    Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets. We have evolved from a company that was primarily focused on aerospace and defense to one that serves multiple markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, oceanographic research, air and water quality environmental monitoring, factory automation and medical imaging. Our products include monitoring instrumentation for marine and environmental applications, harsh environment interconnects, electronic test and measurement equipment, digital imaging sensors and cameras, aircraft information management systems, and defense electronics and satellite communication subsystems. We also supply engineered systems for defense, space, environmental and energy applications. We differentiate ourselves from many of our direct competitors by having a customer and company sponsored applied research center that augments our product development expertise.
Strategy/Overview
Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our core markets of instrumentation, digital imaging, aerospace and defense electronics and engineered systems. Our core markets are characterized by high barriers to entry and include specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. We intend to strengthen and expand our core businesses with targeted acquisitions and through product development. We continue to focus on balanced and disciplined capital deployment among capital expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings. At Teledyne, operational excellence includes the rapid integration of the businesses we acquire. Using complementary technology across our businesses and internal research and development, we seek to create new products to grow our company and expand our addressable markets. We continue to evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.
On March 28, 2017, we completed our largest acquisition to date. We purchased all of the common stock of e2v technologies plc (“e2v”) for $770.7 million, including stock options and assumed debt, net of $24.4 million of cash acquired. Most of e2v's operations are included in the Digital Imaging and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments. The Instrumentation segment includes a small portion of e2v’s operations. See the Recent Acquisitions section for more information on the acquisition.
In the third quarter of 2016, Teledyne completed the disposition of the net assets of its Printed Circuit Technology (“PCT”) business for $9.3 million in cash.
Our Recent Acquisitions
Acquisition of e2v
e2v, with principal locations in Chelmsford, United Kingdom and Grenoble, France, which was acquired on March 28, 2017, had sales of approximately £236 million for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Teledyne funded the acquisition of e2v with borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand as well as $100.0 million in newly issued term loans. In connection with the acquisition of e2v, Teledyne incurred $2.9 million and $28.1 million in acquisition related costs during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively.
e2v provides high performance image sensors and custom camera solutions and application specific standard products for the machine vision market. In addition, e2v provides high performance space qualified imaging sensors and arrays for space science and astronomy. e2v also produces components and subsystems that deliver high reliability radio frequency power generation for healthcare, industrial and defense applications.

Other income and expense was expense of $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared with expense of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2016.
Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon estimates of annual income, permanent items, statutory tax rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which we operate except that certain loss jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions and share-based accounting income tax benefits, are treated separately. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 was 15.6%, compared with 16.7% for the third quarter of 2016.
The third quarter of 2017 reflected $9.9 million in net discrete income tax benefits, which included a $7.4 million income tax benefit as a result of the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions due to expiration of statute of limitation and a $2.3 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting. The third quarter of 2016 included net discrete income tax benefits of $6.6 million, of which $4.0 million related to share-based accounting. Excluding the net discrete income tax items in 2017, the effective tax rate would have been 27.7% for the third quarter of 2017. Excluding net discrete income tax items in 2016, the effective tax rate would have been 27.2% for the third quarter of 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal year 2017 is expected to be 27.7%, based on the projected mix of earnings before tax by jurisdiction, excluding the impact of any matters that would be treated as discrete.

Third quarter of 2017 compared with the third quarter of 2016
The Engineered Systems segment’s third quarter of 2017 net sales were $73.1 million, compared with $66.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 9.9%. Operating income was $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared with operating income of $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 16.3%.
The third quarter of 2017 net sales reflected higher sales of $5.3 million of engineered products and services and $4.7 million of turbine engines, partially offset by lower sales of $3.4 million of energy systems products. The higher sales of engineered products and services primarily reflected greater sales from marine manufacturing and missile defense programs. The higher sales of turbine engines reflected greater sales for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (“JASSM”) and Harpoon missile programs.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the third quarter of 2016 reflected the impact of higher sales and a greater proportion of higher margin manufacturing programs. The third quarter of 2017 cost of sales increased $3.9 million, compared with the third quarter of 2016 and reflected the impact of higher sales and product mix differences. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of 2017 decreased to 77.6% from 79.4% in the third quarter of 2016 and reflected product mix differences. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased to $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared with $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2016 and reflected the impact of higher sales. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage was 8.7% for the third quarter of 2017, compared with 7.7% for the third quarter of 2016.
First nine months of 2017 compared with the first nine months of 2016
The Engineered Systems segment’s first nine months of 2017 net sales were $216.7 million, compared with $193.0 million in the first nine months of 2016, an increase of 12.3%. Operating income was $28.0 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with operating income of $22.2 million in the first nine months of 2016, an increase of 26.1%.
The first nine months of 2017 sales reflected higher sales of $15.9 million of engineered products and services and $10.0 million of turbine engines, partially offset by lower sales of $2.2 million of energy systems products. The higher sales of engineered products and services primarily reflected greater sales from missile defense, space and marine manufacturing programs. The higher sales of turbine engines reflected greater sales for the JASSM missile program. Operating income in the first nine months of 2017, compared to the first nine months of 2016 reflected the impact of higher sales and a greater proportion of higher margin manufacturing programs
The first nine months of 2017 cost of sales increased by $16.5 million, compared with the first nine months of 2016, and reflected the impact of higher sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first nine months of 2017 decreased to 79.4% from 80.6% in the first nine months of 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased to $16.7 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with $15.3 million for the first nine months of 2016. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage decreased slightly to 7.7% for the first nine months of 2017 compared with 7.9% for the first nine months of 2016.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $248.3 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $250.7 million for the first nine months of 2016. The lower cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2017 reflected the impact of transaction related payments for the e2v acquisition and higher income tax payments, partially offset by the impact of higher operating income and cash flow from e2v.
Our net cash used in investing activities was $813.2 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with net cash used by investing activities of $93.3 million for the first nine months of 2016. The 2017 amount includes $742.4 million for the acquisition of e2v. On July 20, 2017, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired assets of Scientific Systems, Inc. (“SSI”) for $31.0 million in cash. Headquartered in State College, PA, SSI manufactures precision components and specialized subassemblies used primarily in analytical and diagnostic instrumentation, such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography systems and specific medical devices and is part of the Instrumentation segment. The 2016 amount includes $58.5 million for acquisitions and other investments. See “Our Recent Acquisitions” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional information on the e2v acquisition and acquisitions made in 2017 and in 2016. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 were $40.5 million and $44.9 million, respectively.
Our goodwill was $1,748.9 million at October 1, 2017 and $1,193.5 million at January 1, 2017. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2017 included $471.1 million in goodwill from the e2v acquisition, as well as the impact of exchange rate changes. Goodwill from the e2v acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $408.2 million at October 1, 2017 and $234.6 million at January 1, 2017. The increase in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2017 reflected $173.4 million in acquired intangible assets from the e2v acquisition, partially offset by $29.2 million of amortization. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the e2v acquisition. The amounts recorded as of October 1, 2017 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis. In addition, the Company is still in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the SSI acquisition made in July 2017 and the IN USA and Hanson Research acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2016. The amounts recorded as of October 1, 2017 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.
Financing activities provided cash of $535.6 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with cash used by financing activities of $141.5 million for the first nine months of 2016. Financing activities for the first nine months of 2017 reflected net borrowings from the $750.0 million credit facility of $285.0 million and the proceeds from a $100.0 million term loan and the proceeds from the private placement of €250.0 million of senior unsecured notes. The first nine months of 2016 included net payments on debt of $167.1 million, which included net payments on the credit facility of $150.5 million. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $18.7 million and $26.7 million for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. In March 2017, Teledyne entered into a $100.0 million term loan with a maturity date of October 30, 2019. Subsequently, in March 2017, Teledyne entered into a cross currency swap to effectively convert the $100.0 million term loan to a 93.0 million Euro denominated instrument with a fixed euro interest rate of 0.7055%. The proceeds from the term loan were used in connection with the acquisition of e2v. On April 18, 2017, Teledyne entered into a note purchase agreement for a private placement of €250.0 million of senior unsecured notes due through 2024. Teledyne used the proceeds of the private placement to, among other things, repay indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of e2v and for general corporate purposes.
Our principal cash and capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, income tax payments, pension contributions, debt service requirements and the stock repurchase program, 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. We may raise other forms of debt capital, depending on financial, market and economic conditions. We may need to raise additional capital to support acquisitions. We currently expect to spend up to $70.0 million for capital expenditures in 2017, of which $40.5 million has been spent in the first nine months of 2017. No cash pension contributions have been made in 2017 or are planned for the remainder of 2017 for the domestic pension plan.
Total debt, including capital lease obligations, at October 1, 2017 was $1,195.7 million. At October 1, 2017, $285.0 million was outstanding under the $750.0 million credit facility. At October 1, 2017, Teledyne had $20.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. Available borrowing capacity under the $750.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $447.5 million at October 1, 2017. The credit agreements require the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at October 1, 2017, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

28


As of October 1, 2017, the Company had an adequate amount of margin between required financial covenant ratios (as required by applicable credit agreements) and our actual ratios. At October 1, 2017, the required financial ratios and the actual ratios were as follows:
$750.0 million Credit Facility expires December 2020 and $182.5 million term loans due through January 2022 (issued in October 2012) and $100.0 million term loan due October 2019 (issued in March 2017)

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; accounting for pension plans; accounting for business combinations, goodwill, acquired intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and accounting for income taxes.
For additional discussion of the application of the critical accounting policies and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements and also Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Teledyne’s 2016 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, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, acquisitions and divestitures, product sales, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, the credit facility, interest expense, severance and relocation and facility consolidation costs, environmental remediation costs, stock repurchases, taxes, exchange rates and strategic plans. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “believes” or “expect”, that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other sections of this Form 10-Q that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking.
Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors could change the anticipated results, including: disruptions in the global economy; 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; risks associated with our acquisition of e2v, including failure to successfully integrate the business; impacts from the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies of the new U.S. Presidential Administration; and threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cyber security threats. Lower oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, and new regulations or restrictions relating to energy production, including with respect to hydraulic fracturing, could negatively affect the Company’s businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the Company’s pension assets. Changes in the policies of U.S. and foreign governments, could result, over time, in reductions and realignment in defense or other government spending and further changes in programs in which the company participates.

While the company’s growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses, retain customers and achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses outside of the United States, including those arising from U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fluctuations.
While we believe our internal and disclosure control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Readers are urged to read our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete description of our Company, its businesses, its strategies and the various risks that we face. Various risks are identified in Teledyne’s 2016 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q.
We assume no duty to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise.
Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” included in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign currency forward contracts are used primarily to hedge anticipated exposures. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate portions of our foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at October 1, 2017 would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars by approximately $8.4 million. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at October 1, 2017 would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as a cash flow hedges to buy British Pounds and to sell U.S. dollars by approximately $0.1 million. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at October 1, 2017 would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value of our Euro/U.S. Dollar cross currency swap designated as a cash flow hedge by approximately $10.2 million. For additional information please see Derivative Instruments discussed in Note 4 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Exposure
We are exposed to market risk through the interest rate on our borrowings under our $750.0 million credit facility and our $282.5 million in term loans. Borrowings under our credit facility and our term loans are at variable rates which are, at our option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable rate or a base rate as defined in our credit agreements. Eurocurrency rate loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars or an alternative currency as defined in the credit agreements. Eurocurrency or LIBOR based loans under the credit facility typically have terms of one, two, three or nine 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. The Company has not drawn any loans with a term longer than three months under the credit facility. 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 consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreements. As of October 1, 2017, we had $567.5 million in outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and term loans. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $5.7 million, assuming the $567.5 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 October 1, 2017, are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In connection with our evaluation during the quarterly period ended October 1, 2017, we have made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
