Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Teledyne Technologies first quarter 2003 sales were $197.2 million, compared with sales of $183.3 million for the same period in 2002. Net income for the first quarter of 2003 was $5.5 million ($0.17 per diluted share), compared with net income of $5.1 million ($0.16 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2002.
The first quarter of 2003, compared with the same period in 2002, reflected higher sales in the Electronics and Communications segment and Systems Engineering Solutions segment, partially offset by lower sales in the Aerospace Engines and Components and the Energy Systems segments.
The increase in earnings for the first quarter of 2003, compared with the same period of 2002, reflected improved results in the Systems Engineering Solutions segment, partially offset by lower results in the Companys other segments. The first quarter of 2003 included pretax non-cash pension expense of $1.7 million compared with pretax non-cash pension income of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2002.
Cost of sales in total dollars was higher in the first quarter of 2003, compared with the same period in 2002, which increased in line with higher sales and also reflected higher pension expense as well as product mix differences. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2003 was slightly higher, compared with the same period in 2002, which primarily reflected higher pension expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2003 as a percentage of sales were lower, compared with the same period in 2002, which reflected lower selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in total dollars were higher in the first quarter of 2003, compared with the same period in 2002. This increase was in line with higher sales and also included selling, general and administrative expenses from Monitor Labs, acquired in September 2002, and higher severance costs, offset in part, by lower research and development expenses. The first quarter of 2003 includes a $0.3 million charge, in other expense, related to the partial write-down of the Companys $2.3 million cost-based investment in a private company engaged in manufacturing and development of micro optics and microelectromechanical devices. The Companys effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2003 was 39.0%, compared with an effective tax rate of 39.7% for the first quarter of 2002.

Review of Operations:
The following table sets forth the sales and operating profit for each segment (amounts in millions):
Electronics and Communications
The Electronics and Communications segments first quarter 2003 sales were $103.6 million, compared with first quarter 2002 sales of $90.5 million. First quarter 2002 operating profit was $7.3 million, compared with operating profit of $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2002.
First quarter 2003 sales, compared with the same period of 2002, reflected revenue growth in electronic manufacturing services, electronic instruments, defense electronic products and commercial lighting products. The revenue growth in electronic manufacturing services was primarily driven by increased sales to military and medical markets. The revenue growth in electronic instruments resulted from the acquisition of Monitor Labs Incorporated at the end of the third quarter of 2002, stronger demand for geophysical sensors for the petroleum exploration market and stronger demand for other electronic measuring equipment. These sales increases were partially offset by continued weakness in the commercial aviation market. Segment operating profit was negatively impacted by pension expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2003 compared with pension income of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2002. In addition, operating profit was favorably impacted by increased sales, a reduction in the Companys commercial broadband communications investments and an improved cost structure.
13
Systems Engineering Solutions
The Systems Engineering Solutions segments first quarter 2003 sales were $52.4 million, compared with first quarter 2002 sales of $46.9 million. First quarter 2003 operating profit was $5.7 million, compared with operating profit of $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2002.
First quarter 2003 sales, compared with the same period of 2002, reflected revenue growth in core defense and aerospace programs and increased work in environmental programs. Operating profit reflected the mix and timing of certain government programs, profit improvement due to the close out of a number of contracts and improved margins for environmental programs. Additionally, segment operating profit was unfavorably impacted by pension expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2003 compared with no pension cost in 2002.
Aerospace Engines and Components
The Aerospace Engines and Components segments first quarter 2003 sales were $37.8 million, compared with first quarter 2002 sales of $41.9 million. First quarter 2003 operating profit was $0.5 million, compared with operating profit of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2002.
First quarter 2003 sales, compared with the same period of 2002, reflected revenue growth in OEM piston engines which was more than offset by reduced sales of aftermarket products and services. Operating profit in the piston engine business was positively impacted by an improved cost structure, productivity improvements and lower requirements for product liability reserves partially offset by higher insurance premium costs. Sales from turbine engines were unfavorably impacted by lower revenue from spare parts for Air Force training aircraft, partially offset by favorable Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) sales. Operating profit for turbine engines was lower in the first quarter of 2003, compared with the first quarter of 2002, which corresponded with lower sales. Additionally, segment operating profit was unfavorably impacted by pension expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2003 compared with pension income of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2002.
Teledyne Energy Systems
The Energy Systems segments first quarter 2003 sales were $3.4 million, compared with first quarter 2002 sales of $4.0 million. The first quarter 2003 operating loss was $0.5 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2002.
First quarter 2003 sales reflected lower revenues from certain government cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts due to an improved cost structure that resulted in lower revenue, as well as lower contract billings under our NASA PEM Fuel Cell program as the first phase of the contract came to conclusion. Commercial sales were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2002.
The first quarter 2003 operating loss included charges for contract claims, offset in part by lower manufacturing overhead and general administrative expenses.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Teledyne Technologies net cash used by operating activities from continuing operations was $1.7 million for the first three months of 2003, compared with net cash provided from continuing operations of $9.0 million for the same period of 2002. The net usage of cash in the first quarter of 2003, compared with cash provided in the first quarter of 2002, was primarily driven by an increase in inventories from year-end 2002 due to purchases of long lead-time items in our defense electronics and medical businesses.
14
Working capital increased to $107.2 million at March 30, 2003, compared with $102.6 million at the end of 2002. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the increase in inventory noted above. Some of the Companys customers have been undergoing bankruptcies, none of which currently are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Teledyne Technologies net cash used by investing activities was $3.1 million and $3.5 million for the first three months of 2003 and 2002, respectively and was primarily for capital expenditures.
On September 27, 2002, Teledyne Technologies acquired Monitor Labs from Spirent plc for $24 million in cash. Monitor Labs is a supplier of environmental monitoring instrumentation for the detection, measurement, and reporting of air pollutants with locations in Englewood, Colorado and Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets including goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 141.
Financing activities provided net cash of $1.3 million in the first three months of 2003, compared with cash used of $9.9 million for the same period of 2002. The 2002 amount primarily reflected net repayments of long-term debt. Both periods include proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Teledyne Technologies principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service requirements. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements in the year 2003. Teledyne Technologies currently expects capital expenditures to be in the range of approximately $20 million to $21 million in 2003.
A $200.0 million five-year revolving credit agreement that terminates in November 2004 was arranged with a syndicate of banks in connection with the Companys 1999 spin-off from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI). At March 30, 2003, Teledyne Technologies had no amounts outstanding under the facility. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until the facility terminates. Available borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $200.0 million at March 30, 2003 and at year end 2002. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial covenants and restrictions. It prohibits stock repurchases, the declaration of dividends or making other specified distributions in aggregate amounts exceeding 25% of cumulative net income ($18.9 million as of March 30, 2003) after the effective date of the credit agreement.
In March 2003, Teledyne Technologies announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase from time to time up to one million shares of its Common Stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions through March 31, 2004. No repurchases have been made under this program.
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 continue to be the following: revenue recognition; impairment of long-lived assets; accounting for income taxes; inventories and related allowance for obsolete and excess inventory; aircraft product liability reserve; and accounting for pension plans. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Managements 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 29, 2002 (2002 Form 10-K).

Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Teledyne Technologies initial adoption of SFAS No. 143, effective January 1, 2003, did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on Teledyne Technologies financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantors fiscal year end. The Company adopted the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions in the first quarter of 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 had no impact on Teledyne Technologies financial position or results of operations.
Outlook
Teledyne Technologies maintains a balanced portfolio of approximately 45% government and 55% commercial businesses. The Companys 2003 outlook reflects anticipated growth in the Companys defense electronics and instrumentation businesses, but no recovery in the Companys commercial aviation and certain short cycle markets. In its Systems Engineering Solutions segment, while the Company anticipates receiving government award and incentive fees under certain contracts in 2003, there is no assurance that such award and incentive fees will be equal to similar fees received in 2002.
Furthermore, given the current state of the economy, rising insurance premiums, the increasingly litigious product liability claims environment, and the Companys dependence on aftermarket aviation sales, the Company does not expect a recovery in 2003 operating profit for the Aerospace Engines and Components segment relative to 2002. The Companys existing aircraft product liability policy expires in May 2003, and the Company is currently evaluating options relating to its insurance coverage. The Companys current total cost for its aircraft product liability insurance is approximately $1.4 million per month, and the Companys management had previously anticipated a 40% increase in cost for its aircraft product liability insurance after May 2003. However, based on recent discussions with several insurance carriers, the Company expects the total monthly cost of its aircraft product liability insurance to increase between approximately 70% and 85% after May 2003. The Company continues to explore strategic alternatives for its Aerospace Engines and Components segment.
16
Although 2003 earnings visibility is limited, based on its current outlook, the Companys management believes that second quarter and full year 2003 earnings per share will be in the range of approximately $0.17 to $0.19 and $0.62 to $0.72, respectively, including the higher insurance costs noted above and approximately $0.13 per share of non-cash pension expense for the full year 2003.
Full year 2002 earnings included $2.3 million or $0.04 per share in non-cash pension income. The Company currently expects approximately $7.0 million or $0.13 per share of non-cash pension expense in 2003. The reduction in non-cash pension income reflects the continued decline in the value of the Companys pension assets during 2002 and reductions in the expected rate of return and discount rate assumptions for the Companys defined benefit plan. The Companys assumed expected rate of return is currently 8.5%, compared to 9.0% in 2002, and its assumed discount rate is currently 7.0%, compared to 7.5% in 2002. Based on the Companys current pension assumptions and the value of its pension assets as of March 31, 2003, the Company expects that non-cash pension expense in 2004 will be in the range of approximately $10.0 million to $12.0 million or $0.18 to $0.22 per share. Currently, Teledyne Technologies does not anticipate making cash contributions to its pension plan until 2004. Also, under one of its spin-off agreements, after November 29, 2004 the Company will be able to charge pension costs to the U.S. Government under various government contracts.
Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Outlook and Forward-Looking Information
From time to time the Company makes, and this report contains, forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, capital expenditures, pension matters and strategic plans. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including changes in demand for products sold to the semiconductor, communications and commercial aviation markets, timely development of acceptable and competitive fuel cell products and systems, funding, continuation and award of government programs, receipt of (or failure to receive) government award and incentive fees based on performance achievements, the terms of the Companys renewal of its current aircraft product liability insurance policy, customers acceptance of piston engine insurance-related price increases or surcharges, continued liquidity of our customers (including commercial airline customers) and economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results.
Global responses to terrorism and other perceived threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our businesses. Various responses could realign government programs, and affect the composition, funding or timing of our programs. As happened after the September 11th terrorist attacks, reinstatement of flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for general aviation aircraft piston engines and components.
17
September 11th and various public company governance issues have had adverse impacts on the insurance markets greatly increasing insurance costs. The Companys existing aircraft product liability insurance policy expires in May 2003 and our directors and officers policy expires in November 2003. In addition, the continuing downturn in the stock market has negatively affected the value of the Companys pension assets. Absent improved market conditions, the Company will be required to make a contribution to its pension plan in 2004.
The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While the Company believes its 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 Teledyne Technologies growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions, including the acquisition of Monitor Labs Incorporated, involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses and to achieve identified financial and operating synergies. Also, we may not be able to sell or exit timely or on acceptable terms our remaining non-core or under-performing product lines, particularly given the current economic environment.
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 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in the information provided under Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk included in Teledyne Technologies 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. At March 30, 2003, there were no hedging contracts outstanding.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Teledyne Technologies disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in its SEC periodic filings.
Subsequent to that evaluation, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls. There also were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified for which corrective actions needed to be taken.
