NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 1, 2012
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 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 Teledynes Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012 (2011 Form 10-K).
In the opinion of Teledynes management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Teledynes consolidated financial position as of April 1, 2012 and the consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the three months then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended April 1, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new disclosure guidance related to the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The new disclosure guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Teledyne adopted the new presentation requirement effective January 2, 2012. Teledyne elected the two-statement approach presenting other comprehensive income in a separate statement immediately following the condensed consolidated statements of income.
In 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The new guidance provides a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. It also changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. Teledynes adoption of these new provisions effective January 2, 2012 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Note 2. Business Combinations and Investments, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
On February 25, 2012, Teledyne acquired VariSystems Inc. (VariSystems) for $34.9 million, net of $2.1 million in cash acquired. Teledyne expects to pay a $1.4 million purchase price adjustment in the second quarter of 2012. VariSystems, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a leading supplier of custom harsh environment interconnects used in energy exploration and production. VariSystems had sales of CAD $27.5 million for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. VariSystems, Inc. now operates under the name Teledyne VariSystems and is part of the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment. See also Note 15 regarding the purchase of a majority interest in the parent company of Optech Incorporated.
On February 12, 2011, the Company acquired the stock of DALSA Corporation (DALSA). DALSA designs and manufactures digital image capture products, primarily consisting of high performance sensors, cameras and software for use in industrial, scientific, medical and professional applications products, as well as specialty semiconductors and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). The Company acquired DALSA for an aggregate purchase price of $339.5 million in cash. Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, DALSA had annual revenues of CAD $212.3 million for its fiscal year ended December 2010. DALSA operates within the Digital Imaging segment.
For a description of the Companys other acquisition and divestiture activity for the year ended January 1, 2012, please refer to Notes 3 and 16 of the Teledyne 2011 Form 10-K.
Teledyne funded the purchases primarily from borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand.

DALSAs results have been included since the date of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information below assumes that DALSA had been acquired at the beginning of the 2011 fiscal year and includes the effect of estimated amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets, increased interest expense on net acquisition debt, as well as the impact of purchase accounting adjustments for certain liabilities and inventory valuation adjustments. The unaudited pro forma 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 period presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial 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.

Teledynes goodwill was $737.0 million at April 1, 2012 and $717.8 million at January 1, 2012. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2012 primarily resulted from $14.2 million from the acquisition of VariSystems and exchange rate changes. Teledynes net acquired intangible assets were $189.4 million at April 1, 2012 and $181.4 million at January 1, 2012. The increase in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2012 primarily resulted from $11.9 million from the acquisition of VariSystems and exchange rate changes, partially offset by amortization. The Companys cost to acquire VariSystems has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. The differences between the fair value of the consideration paid and the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The Company is still in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to acquired intangible assets and the related impact on goodwill for the VariSystems acquisition. The Company made preliminary estimates as of April 1, 2012, since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.
The following is a summary at the acquisition date of the estimated fair values allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the VariSystems acquisition made in the first quarter of 2012 (in millions):

Note 3. 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 Companys primary objective is to protect the United States dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. Due to the February 2011 acquisition of DALSA, the Company began to utilize foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars. In addition, from time to time, the Company may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany receivables and payables and as of April 1, 2012, Teledyne had foreign currency contracts of this type to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $23.8 million. The gains and losses on these derivatives which are not designated as hedges, are intended to, at a minimum, partially offset the transaction gains and losses recognized in 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. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedging Activities
In February 2011, Teledyne began utilizing foreign currency forward contracts which were designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge contracts, excluding time value, 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 are highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge contracts gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (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. The Company expects to reclassify a loss of approximately $0.4 million over the next 12 months based on the April 1, 2012 exchange rate.
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 April 1, 2012, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $60.5 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from June 2012 to February 2013.
The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for three months ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011 was as follows (in millions):
Net gain (loss) recognized in AOCI (a)
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into cost of sales (a)
Net foreign exchange gain recognized in income (b)
The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other expense for three months ended April 1, 2012 and was $0.4 million and was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011.

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 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.
Stock Incentive Plan
The following disclosures are based on stock options granted to Teledynes employees and directors. The Company recorded a total of $1.5 million in stock option compensation expense for the first quarter of 2012 and $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2011. Employee stock option grants are expensed evenly over the three year vesting period. In 2012, the Company currently expects approximately $8.7 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 uses a combination of its historical stock price volatility and the volatility of exchange traded options, if any, 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 six years. The period used for the exchange traded options, if any, included the longest-dated options publicly available, generally three months. The expected dividend yield is based on Teledynes 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. No employee stock options were granted in the first quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company granted 496,806 employee stock options at a strike price of $64.73 per share. The following assumptions were used in the valuation of employee stock options granted in 2011:
Expected dividend yield
Expected volatility
Risk-free interest rate
Expected life in years
Based on the assumptions in the table above, the grant date fair value of stock options granted in 2011 was $18.81.
Stock option transactions for Teledynes employee stock option plans for the first quarter of 2012 are summarized as follows:
Beginning balance
Granted
Exercised
Cancelled or expired
Ending balance
Options exercisable at end of period

Stock option transactions for Teledynes non-employee director stock option plan for the first quarter of 2012 are summarized as follows:
Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Award Program
The first of three annual installments of the 2009 to 2011 Performance Share Plan was paid entirely in cash in the first quarter of 2012. Also in the first quarter of 2012, the restriction was removed for 32,599 shares of Teledyne common stock and 6,605 shares were forfeited related to the 2009 to 2011 Restricted Stock Program.
Note 6. Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents totaled $0.6 million at April 1, 2012 and $0.3 million at January 1, 2012.
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 Companys 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 Companys control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Inventories consist of the following (in millions):
Balance at
Raw materials and supplies
Work in process
Finished goods
Progress payments
LIFO reserve
Total inventories, net
Inventories at cost determined on the LIFO method were $103.6 million at April 1, 2012 and $96.0 million at January 1, 2012. The remainder of the inventories using average cost or the FIFO methods, were $155.3 million at April 1, 2012 and $144.2 million at January 1, 2012.

Note 8. Supplemental Balance Sheet Information
The following table presents the balance of selected components of Teledynes balance sheet (in millions):
Balance sheet items
Some of the Companys 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 and long term accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in the Companys product warranty reserve during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 are as follows (in millions):
Balance at beginning of year
Accruals for product warranties charged to expense
Cost of product warranty claims
Acquisitions
Balance at end of period
Note 9. Income Taxes
The Companys effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 30.3% compared with 35.0% for the first quarter 2011. The decrease primarily reflected a change in the proportion of domestic and international income, as well as certain adjustments within the quarter. Excluding any tax credits and other adjustments, the tax rate was 32.5% for the first quarter of 2012.
The Company has substantially concluded on all U.S. federal income tax matters for all years through 2007, California income tax matters for all years through 2006 and Canadian income tax matters for all years through 2003. Substantially all other material state and local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2006.
The Company anticipates the total unrecognized tax benefit for various federal and state tax items may be reduced by $6.4 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation and settlements with tax authorities for various federal, state and Canadian tax issues in the next 12 months.
The Companys intention is to permanently reinvest the earnings of its subsidiaries in Canada, The United Kingdom and The Netherlands, thus indefinitely postponing their remittance of any earnings to the United States.
12
Note 10. Long-Term Debt and Capital Leases
Teledyne has a $550.0 million credit facility that has a termination date of February 25, 2016. The facility requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants, including maintaining certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until it matures. Borrowings under our credit facility 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 agreement. Eurocurrency rate loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars or an alternative currency as defined in the agreement. Eurocurrency or 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. 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 agreement. The credit agreement also provides for facility fees that vary between 0.20% and 0.45% of the credit line, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio as calculated from time to time.
Available borrowing capacity under the $550.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, was $399.5 million at April 1, 2012. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at April 1, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Teledyne also has a $5.0 million uncommitted credit line which permits credit extensions up to $5.0 million plus an incremental $2.0 million solely for standby letters of credit. This credit line is utilized, as needed, for periodic cash needs. 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 estimated fair value of Teledynes long-term debt at April 1, 2012 and January 1, 2012, approximated the carrying value.
Long-term debt consisted of the following (in millions):
4.04% Senior Notes due September 2015
4.74% Senior Notes due September 2017
5.30% Senior Notes due September 2020
Total long-term debt
The Company also has $14.8 million in capital leases, of which $1.4 million is current. At April 1, 2012, Teledyne had $13.9 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Note 11. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
For a further description of the Companys commitments and contingencies, reference is made to Note 15 of the Company financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, included in our 2011 Form 10-K.
At April 1, 2012, the Companys reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $3.4 million, of which $0.4 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.
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 Companys
13
financial condition. The resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations for that period.
In March 2009, Cold Creek Enterprises, Inc. and Bob DaSilva commenced a lawsuit against DALSA Corporation and certain related entities in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The claims originate from the interest of Mr. DaSilvas company in DALSA Digital Camera Inc., a joint venture entered into in November 2004 and a discontinued business of DALSA since the third quarter of 2008. The lawsuit seeks various forms of relief, including damages in excess of CAD $20.0 million. The lawsuit is being vigorously defended, and a counterclaim has been filed against the plaintiff.
Note 12. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
Teledyne has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all U.S. employees hired before January 1, 2004 or approximately 27% of Teledynes employees. The Company assumed discount rate on plan liabilities is 5.5% for 2012. In 2011, assumed discount rate on plan liabilities was 5.90% until the April 19, 2011 sale date of the piston engine businesses, for the remainder of the year plan liabilities were measured using a discount rate of 6.15%. The Companys assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is 8.25% for both 2012 and 2011.
Teledynes net periodic pension expense was $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with net periodic pension expense of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2011. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) was $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2011. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government. Teledyne made a voluntary cash pension contribution of $50.0 million to its qualified pension plan in the first quarter of 2012, compared with a voluntary cash pension contribution of $37.0 million to its qualified pension plan in the first quarter of 2011. Teledyne expects to make an additional $42.8 million voluntary cash pension contribution in the third quarter of 2012.
The Company sponsors several postretirement defined benefit plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retirees.
The following tables set forth the components of net periodic pension benefit expense for Teledynes defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 (in millions):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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. 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.
Consistent with this strategy, we made one acquisition in the first quarter of 2012 and one acquisition in the second quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2011, we made two acquisitions and acquired a minority interest investment. We also continue to evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy. On April 19, 2011, we completed the sale of our general aviation piston engine businesses, which comprised the former Aerospace Engines and Components segment. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements classify the Aerospace Engines and Components segment as a discontinued operation.
Our Recent Acquisitions
On February 25, 2012, Teledyne acquired VariSystems Inc. (VariSystems) for $34.9 million, net of $2.1 million in cash acquired. Teledyne expects to pay a $1.4 million purchase price adjustment in the second quarter of 2012. VariSystems Inc., headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a leading supplier of custom harsh environment interconnects used in energy exploration and production. VariSystems had sales of CAD $27.5 million for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. VariSystems, Inc. now operates under the name Teledyne VariSystems and is part of the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment.
In the second quarter of 2012, on April 2, 2012, Teledyne acquired a majority interest in the parent company of Optech Incorporated (Optech) for $32.7 million. The purchase increased Teledynes ownership percentage to 51 percent from the original 19 percent interest purchased in the first quarter of 2011. Optech will be reported as part of the Digital Imaging segment.
On February 12, 2011, the Company acquired the stock of DALSA Corporation (DALSA). DALSA designs and manufactures digital image capture products, primarily consisting of high performance sensors, cameras and software for use in industrial, scientific, medical and professional applications products, as well as specialty semiconductors and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). The Company acquired DALSA for an aggregate purchase price of $339.5 million in cash. Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, DALSA had annual revenues of CAD $212.3 million for its fiscal year ended December 2010. DALSA operates within the Digital Imaging segment. In the first quarter of 2011, Teledyne also purchased a majority interest in Nova Sensors (Nova) for $5.1 million. For a description of the Companys other acquisition and divestiture activity for the year ended January 1, 2012, please refer to Notes 3 and 16 of our 2011 Form 10-K (2011 Form 10-K).
Results of Operations
First quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011
Our first quarter 2012 sales were $494.0 million, compared with sales of $468.1 million for the same period of 2011, an increase of 5.5%. Net income from continuing operations was $35.7 million ($0.96 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $32.5 million ($0.87 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 9.8%. Net income including discontinued operations was $35.7 million ($0.96 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $32.0 million ($0.86 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011 an increase of 11.6%.
The first quarter of 2012, compared with the same period in 2011, reflected higher sales in the Instrumentation and Digital Imaging segments, partially offset by lower sales in the Aerospace and Defense Electronics and the Engineered Systems segments. Incremental revenue in the first quarter of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $32.3 million.
The increase in earnings for the first quarter of 2012, compared with the same period of 2011, reflected improved results in the Digital Imaging and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments, partially offset by lower results in the Instrumentation and Engineered Systems segments. The incremental operating profit included in the results for the first quarter of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $2.4 million.
18
The first quarter of 2012 included pension expense of $1.7 million, compared with pension expense of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in 2012 pension expense is primarily due to plan amendments and the impact of voluntary cash contributions to the domestic pension plan, partially offset by a reduction in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) was $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.
In the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, we recorded a total of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense. Employee stock option grants are expensed evenly over the three year vesting period.
The table below presents sales and cost of sales by segment and total company:
(Dollars in millions)
Sales
Cost of sales % of sales
Total Company
Cost of sales increased by $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with the first quarter of 2011, which primarily reflected the impact of higher sales, partially offset by lower pension expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2012 decreased slightly to 66.4% from 66.9% in the first quarter of 2011 and reflected lower pension expense and product mix differences.
As noted in our revenue recognition critical accounting policy, contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion accounting method, in the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 were $0.7 million and $0.8 million of favorable operating income and $1.3 million and $0.3 million of unfavorable operating income, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased by $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with the first quarter of 2011, and primarily reflected the impact of higher sales and higher research and development and bid and proposal expense of $4.7 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2012, as a percentage of sales, increased to 22.3%, compared with 21.4% in the first quarter of 2011 and reflected the impact of higher research and development and bid and proposal expense.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in interest expense primarily reflected the impact of lower outstanding debt levels.
19
The Companys effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 30.3% compared with 35.0% for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease primarily reflected a change in the proportion of domestic and international income, as well as certain adjustments within the quarter. Excluding any tax credits and other adjustments, the tax rate was 32.5% for the first quarter of 2012.
Review of Operations:
The following table sets forth the sales and operating profit for each segment (amounts in millions):
Add back: net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest
20
Operating profit
Selling, general and administrative expenses % of sales
Operating profit % of sales
The Instrumentation segments first quarter 2012 sales were $160.6 million, compared with $157.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 1.7%. First quarter 2012 operating profit was $31.6 million, compared with operating profit of $32.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 1.3%.
The first quarter 2012 sales change resulted primarily from higher sales of environmental instrumentation products, partially offset by lower sales of marine instrumentation products. The higher sales of $5.9 million for environmental instrumentation products reflected improved sales for gas analyzers. The lower sales of $3.2 million for marine instrumentation products primarily reflected lower sales of geophysical sensors for the energy exploration market. The decrease in operating profit reflected unfavorable product mix differences, partially offset by the impact of higher sales. First quarter cost of sales in total dollars increased by $3.6 million, compared with the first quarter of 2011, and reflected the impact of higher sales and product mix differences.
The Digital Imaging segments first quarter 2012 sales were $94.2 million, compared with $66.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 42.3%. Operating profit was $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with operating profit of $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 10.3%.
The 2012 sales increase included an incremental $25.5 million in revenue from the February 12, 2011, acquisition of DALSA and $1.7 million in revenue from the March 17, 2011, acquisition of Nova, as well as slightly higher organic sales. The increase in operating profit reflected the impact of higher sales, mostly offset by $4.8 million in higher research and development and bid and proposal expense. The incremental operating profit included in the results for the first quarter of 2012 from recent acquisitions was $1.3 million. Cost of sales in total dollars increased in line with the increase in sales. The increase in the selling, general and administrative expense percentage reflected higher research and development and bid and proposal expense. First quarter cost of sales in total dollars increased by $19.0 million, compared with the first quarter of 2011, and primarily reflected the impact of higher sales.
21
The Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments first quarter 2012 sales were $164.8 million, compared with $166.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 1.3%. Operating profit was $22.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with operating profit of $21.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 6.0%.
The 2012 sales decrease resulted from lower sales of $11.3 million for electronic manufacturing service products, partially offset by $5.9 million of higher sales from avionics products and electronic relays and $3.3 million from microwave devices and interconnects. Sales of microwave devices and interconnects in the first quarter of 2012 included $5.1 million from the acquisition of VariSystems. The increase in operating profit primarily reflected the contribution from VariSystems and product mix differences. First quarter cost of sales in total dollars decreased by $6.0 million, compared with the first quarter of 2011, and reflected the impact of lower sales, partially offset by sales of higher margin avionics products. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2012 decreased to 66.6% from 69.4% in the first quarter of 2011 and reflected product mix differences and the impact of the higher margin VariSystems products.
The Engineered Systems segments first quarter 2012 sales were $74.4 million, compared with $77.1 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 3.5%. Operating profit was $6.2 million for the first quarter 2012, compared with operating profit of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 6.1%.
The first quarter 2012 sales decrease, from the first quarter of 2011, reflected lower sales of $8.5 million from engineered products and services, partially offset by higher sales of $3.3 million from energy systems and $2.5 million from turbine engines. The lower sales for engineered products and services primarily reflected lower sales for space and defense programs. The higher energy system sales were due to increased commercial hydrogen generator sales. The higher sales of turbine engines were primarily due to the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program. Operating profit in the first quarter of 2012 reflected the impact of lower sales and sales of lower margin products, partially offset by $1.3 million in lower bid and proposal expense, lower net pension expense and the impact of higher margins for turbine engines. Operating profit included pension expense of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2011. First quarter cost of sales in total dollars decreased by $1.6 million, compared with the first quarter of 2011, and primarily reflected the impact of lower sales.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash used by operating activities from continuing operations was $19.7 million for the first three months of 2012, compared with net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $6.6 million for the same period of 2011. The lower cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the first three months of 2012 reflected the impact of a voluntary $50.0 million cash contribution to the domestic pension plan in the first quarter of 2012, compared with a voluntary $37.0 million cash contribution to the domestic pension plan for the first quarter of 2011 and higher payments for accrued liabilities, primarily compensation accruals.
Our net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $45.5 million for the first three months of 2012, compared with net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations of $370.0 million for the first three months of 2011. The 2012 amount includes the acquisition of VariSystems. The 2011 amount included the acquisitions of DALSA and Nova and also the 19% investment in the parent company of Optech accounted for under the cost basis method. We funded the purchases primarily from borrowings under our credit facility and cash on hand.
In the second quarter of 2012, on April 2, 2012, Teledyne acquired a majority interest in the parent company of Optech for $32.7 million. The purchase increased Teledynes ownership percentage to 51 percent from 19 percent. We funded the purchase from cash on hand which reflected cash drawn from our credit facility prior to the end of the first quarter.
Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2012 and 2011 were $10.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Our goodwill was $737.0 million at April 1, 2012 and $717.8 million at January 1, 2012. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2012 primarily resulted from $14.2 million from the acquisition of VariSystems and exchange rate changes. Teledyne Technologies net acquired intangible assets were $189.4 million at April 1, 2012 and $181.4 million at January 1, 2012. The increase in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2012 primarily resulted from $11.9 million from the acquisition of VariSystems and exchange rate changes, partially offset by amortization. The Companys cost to acquire VariSystems has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. The differences between the fair value of the consideration paid and the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been recorded as goodwill.
Financing activities provided cash of $100.7 million for the first three months of 2012, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $321.6 million for the first three months of 2011. Cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of 2012 and 2011, included net borrowings of $88.1 million and $313.2 million, respectively. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $7.7 million and $5.7 million for the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The first three months of 2012 and 2011, included $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Working capital was $332.1 million at April 1, 2012, compared with $268.5 million at January 1, 2012. The increase reflected higher cash balances which resulted from cash drawn from our credit facility that was used to purchase the majority interest in the parent company of Optech on April 2, 2012.
We made a voluntary cash contribution of $50.0 million in the first three months of 2012 to the domestic qualified pension plan, compared with a voluntary cash contribution of $37.0 million in the first three months of 2011. We expect to make an additional cash contribution of $42.8 million in the third quarter of 2012.
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 need to raise additional capital to support acquisitions. We currently expect capital expenditures to be approximately $65.0 million in 2012, of which $10.6 million has been spent in the first three months of 2012.
Teledyne has a $550.0 million credit facility that has a termination date of February 25, 2016. The facility requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants, including maintaining certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until it matures. Borrowings under our credit facility 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 agreement. Eurocurrency rate loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars or an alternative currency as defined in the agreement. Eurocurrency or LIBOR based loans under the facility typically have terms
23
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. 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 agreement. The credit agreement also provides for facility fees that vary between 0.20% and 0.45% of the credit line, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio as calculated from time to time.
Total debt at April 1, 2012, includes $136.6 million outstanding under the $550.0 million credit facility and $250.0 million in senior notes. The Company also has $14.8 million in capital leases, of which $1.4 million is current. At April 1, 2012, Teledyne had $13.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. Available borrowing capacity under the $550.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, was $399.5 million at April 1, 2012. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at April 1, 2012 the Company was in compliance with these covenants. As of April 1, 2012 the Company had a significant amount of margin between required financial covenant ratios and our actual ratios. At April 1, 2012 the required financial covenant ratios and the actual ratios were as follows:
$550.0 million Credit Facility expires February 2016
Financial Covenant
Required Covenant
Actual Covenant
Consolidated Leverage Ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) (1)
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (EBITDA/Interest) (2)
$250.0 million Private Placement Notes due 2015, 2017 and 2020
Teledyne also has a $5.0 million uncommitted credit line which permits credit extensions up to $5.0 million plus an incremental $2.0 million solely for standby letters of credit. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit line at April 1, 2012. This credit line is utilized, as needed, for periodic cash needs.
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 and other long-lived assets; and accounting for income taxes. We have enhanced the revenue recognition policy in the first quarter of 2012 to provide additional information regarding our revenue recognition policy. The following is the current revenue recognition critical accounting policy:
Commercial sales and sales from U.S. Government fixed-price type contracts are generally recorded as shipments are made or as services are rendered. Revenue related to a product or service is recognized when products are shipped to the customer or services have been rendered in accordance with terms of an agreement of sale, under which title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. The Companys typical terms of sale are FOB shipping point and, as such, the Company primarily records revenue for product sales upon shipment. For the very small percentage of sales where title and risk of loss passes at point of delivery, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery to the customer, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. For contracts that require the Company to warehouse certain goods, revenue is recognized when all risks of loss is borne by the customer and all other criteria for revenue recognition
24
are met. If any significant obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction remains to be fulfilled following shipment, typically involving acceptance by the buyer, revenue recognition is deferred until such obligations have been fulfilled following shipment. The Company does not offer substantial sales incentives and credits to customers. Accruals for sales returns and other allowances are provided at the time revenue is recognized based upon past experience.
For certain fixed-price type contracts that require substantial performance over a long time period (generally one or more years), revenues are recorded under the percentage-of-completion (POC) method. We measure the extent of progress toward completion using the units-of-delivery method, cost-to-cost method or upon attainment of scheduled performance milestones which could be time, event or expense driven. Occasionally, invoices are submitted to and paid by the customer under a contractual agreement which has a different time schedule than the related revenue recognition. Sales under cost-reimbursement contracts, usually from the U.S. Government, are recorded as allowable costs are incurred and fees are earned. The percentage of Company sales recognized using the POC method has been decreasing and was 39.4% in 2011, 50.0% in 2010 and 54.8% in 2009, due to the increase in our commercial business which does not typically utilize the POC method.
The development of cost of sales percentages used to record costs under certain fixed-price type contracts and fees under certain cost-reimbursement type contracts accounted for under the POC method of accounting require managements judgment to make reasonably dependable cost estimates for the design, manufacture and delivery of products and services, generally over a long time period. Since certain fixed-price and cost-reimbursement type contracts extend over a long period of time, the impact of revisions in cost and revenue estimates during the progress of work may adjust the current period earnings on a cumulative catch-up basis. This method recognizes, in the current period, the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior quarters. For fixed-price contracts, if the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the period that it becomes evident. Contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly. These types of contracts and estimates are most frequently related to our sales to the U.S. Government or sales to other defense contractors for ultimate sale to the U.S. Government. The aggregate effects of these favorable and unfavorable changes in estimates for total years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $4.7 million, $3.5 million and $2.6 million of favorable operating income and $4.4 million, $3.2 million and $1.4 million of unfavorable operating income, respectively. We do not believe that any discrete event or adjustments to an individual contract within the aggregate changes in contract estimates for 2011, 2010 or 2009 was material to the consolidated statements of income for such periods.

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, capital expenditures, research and development expenses, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, interest expense, taxes, 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 Managements 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 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; and cuts to defense spending resulting from future deficit reduction measures, including potential automatic cuts to defense spending that may be triggered by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. 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 Companys businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the Companys pension assets.
While the companys growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses, retain customers and achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses internationally, including those arising from U.S. and foreign policy changes and exchange rate fluctuations.
We continue to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we believe our control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and 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 Teledynes 2011 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. Readers, particularly those interested in investing in Teledyne, should read these risk factors.
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 2011 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 appreciation of the U.S. dollar from its value at April 1, 2012 would decrease the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts associated with our cash flow hedging activities by $7.4 million. A hypothetical 10 percent depreciation of the U.S. dollar from its value at April 1, 2012 would increase the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts associated with our cash flow hedging activities by $7.4 million. For additional information please see Risk Management 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 $550.0 million credit facility. Borrowings under our credit facility 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 agreement. Eurocurrency rate loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars or an alternative currency as defined in the agreement. Eurocurrency or 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. 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 agreement. As of April 1, 2012, we had $136.6 million in outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $1.4 million, assuming the $136.6 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 Companys 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 April 1, 2012, are effective.
In connection with our evaluation during the quarterly period ended April 1, 2012, 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.
