Customers

We have a broad and diversified customer base in the various markets we serve. No commercial customer in 2024 or 2023 accounted for more than 10% of net sales for any of our segments or for the total Company.

Total sales to international customers were $2,731.1 million in 2024 and $2,740.1 million in 2023. Of these net sales to international customers, our businesses in the United States accounted for $950.0 million in 2024 and $900.5 million in 2023.

In both 2024 and 2023, we sold products to customers in over 100 foreign countries. Approximately 90% of our net sales to international customers during 2024 were made to customers in 30 foreign countries. In 2024, the top five countries for sales to international customers, ranked by net sales, were the United Kingdom, China, Germany, Japan and France and represented approximately 19% of our total net sales. There were no sales to individual countries outside of the United States in excess of 10% of our sales.

Table of Contents

Information on our net sales to the U.S. Government, including direct sales to agencies as a prime contractor and indirect sales as a subcontractor, was as follows (in millions):


U.S. Government sales by segment:	2024			2023			2022
Digital Imaging	$	557.1		$	570.7		$	619.1
Instrumentation	123.5			95.9			108.1
Aerospace and Defense Electronics	307.5			330.3			266.3
Engineered Systems	389.0			384.8			366.4
Total U.S. Government sales	$	1,377.1		$	1,381.7		$	1,359.9

Total U.S. Government sales as a percent of total net sales	24.3		%	24.5		%	24.9		%

Our principal U.S. Government customer is the U.S. Department of Defense, with total net sales of $1,062.7 million and $1,081.3 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. With the exception of the Engineered Systems segment, no U.S Government program in 2024 or 2023 accounted for more than 10% of net sales for any of our segments or for the total Company. In 2024 and 2023, the largest program with the U.S. Government within the Engineered Systems segment was the Marshall Operations, Systems, Services, and Integration II (“MOSSI II”) contract with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, which represented approximately 16% and approximately 17% of Engineered Systems net sales, respectively.

As described in greater detail under Item 1A. Risk Factors, there are risks associated with doing business with the U.S. Government. In 2024, approximately 78% of our U.S. Government prime contracts and subcontracts were fixed-price type contracts, compared to 79% in 2023, with the remaining U.S. Government contracts related to cost-reimbursable contracts (“cost-type”) contracts. Under fixed-price type contracts, we bear the inherent risk that actual performance cost may exceed the fixed contract price. Such contracts are typically not subject to renegotiation of profits if we fail to anticipate technical problems, estimate costs accurately or control costs during performance. Additionally, U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the U.S. Government at its convenience, without identification of any default. When contracts are terminated for convenience, we can recover costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to termination. During 2024 and 2023, contracts terminated by the U.S. Government did not materially impact our results of operations.

Many of our U.S. Government contracts are awarded after a competitive bidding process in which we seek to emphasize our ability to provide superior products and technical solutions.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Most raw materials used in our operations are readily available. Some raw materials are purchased from a limited set of suppliers, including international sources, due to technical capability, price, and other factors. We leverage our existing supplier relationships and are not dependent on any one supplier for a material amount of our purchases. While some of our businesses provide services, for those businesses that sell products, a portion of the value that we provide is labor-oriented, such as design, engineering, assembly and test activities. In manufacturing our products, we use our own production capabilities and third-party suppliers and subcontractors, including international sources. At times we have experienced difficulty in procuring raw materials, components, sub-assemblies and other supplies required in our manufacturing processes due to shortages and supplier-imposed allocation of components.

Marketing

Our sales and marketing approach varies by segment and by products within our segments. A shared fundamental tenet is the commitment to work closely with our customers to understand their needs, with an aim to secure preferred supplier and longer-term relationships. Given the technical nature of our products, we conduct our marketing activities through a direct internal sales force as well as third-party sales representatives and distributors. Several Teledyne businesses, including across our segments, are marketing and selling products collaboratively to certain customers.

Competition

Because of the diversity of products sold and the number of markets we serve, we encounter a wide variety of competitors, none of which we believe offer the same product and service lines or serve all of the same markets as we do. Although we have certain advantages that we believe help us compete effectively in our markets, each of our markets is highly competitive. Our businesses compete on quality, product performance and reliability, technical expertise, price and service. Many of our competitors have, and potential competitors could have, greater name recognition, a larger installed base of products, more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities and greater financial, technological and personnel resources than we do.

Table of Contents

Intellectual Property

We own and control various intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, trade names, and copyrights. We license patents, technology and other intellectual property rights owned and controlled by others. Similarly, other companies license patents, technology and other intellectual property rights owned and controlled by us. We do not consider any single patent or trademark, or any group of them, essential either to Teledyne’s business as a whole or to any one of our reportable segments. The annual royalties received or paid under license agreements are not significant to any of our reportable segments or to our overall operations.

Patents, patent applications and license agreements will expire or terminate over time by operation of law, in accordance with their terms or otherwise. We do not expect the expiration or termination of these patents, patent applications and license agreements to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Environment and Other Government Regulations

Information with respect to environmental matters is set forth under “Other Matters – Environmental” of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition” and Note 17. No material capital expenditures relating to environmental compliance are presently anticipated. See Note 17 for additional discussion of other government regulations.

Sustainability

Teledyne continues to focus on developing solutions to address sustainability and climate challenges facing humanity today. Many of our products directly support sustainability and climate challenges. We provide a broad range of precision measurement technologies for environmental monitoring and climate research. Our sensors and instruments are deployed everywhere: in space, on aircraft and drones, on land, on the sea surface, in the water column, and on the seafloor. They operate around the clock, measuring greenhouse gases from space, precisely monitoring air and water quality throughout the world, and continuously profiling the Earth’s oceans. Applications of our instruments provide scientists information that spans time from the origin of the universe to providing real-time data regarding air pollution and dangerous storms, such as time-critical warning of hurricanes and tsunamis.

The prominence and importance of sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives have dramatically increased. In November 2022, we published our second Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) report, in which we disclose and highlight some of our most recent efforts focused on sustainability and ESG. We published supplements to the CSR report in 2023 and 2024 to include updated financial information and other information in the report. The CSR report together with its supplements, which is not incorporated by reference in this document, is available at the Corporate Social Responsibility link on our website at www.teledyne.com under the tab “Who We Are”. The CSR Report and its supplements include data on Teledyne’s combined direct emissions (“Scope 1”) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (“Scope 2”), workplace safety, water usage, waste generation and recycling and workplace demographics.

In 2021, we compiled the first global inventory of our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions (starting with fiscal year 2020) and have developed a GHG monitoring and management plan. We have set a goal to reduce our combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 in company operations, normalized for revenue, by 40% from 2020 levels by the end of 2040. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate our emission reduction goals, while at the same time providing the tools and technologies enabling environmental science and climatology across the globe. More information about our carbon footprint and GHG emission reduction efforts and goals, and the contributions that Teledyne products make to carbon monitoring and environmental and climate science, can be found in our CSR report.

Pursuant to the mandate in their respective charters, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) regularly reviews matters related to compliance with environmental laws and the health and safety of employees, and the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board reviews and evaluates our policies and practices and monitors our efforts in areas of legal and social responsibility, sustainability and other ESG matters.

Employees are vital to the success of our growth strategy. Our goal is to maintain a safe, hospitable and inclusive work environment in which every employee is encouraged to contribute to the success of the company. We are focused on attracting, developing, and retaining employees through competitive compensation and benefits, workforce and management development, succession planning, corporate culture and leadership quality, in compliance with applicable regulations. We strive to recruit the best possible candidate for each role.

The health and wellness of our employees is a critical component to the success of our business. Many of our larger facilities have on-site fitness centers and encourage healthy choices with various wellness challenge programs. These programs often include guest speakers on various topics, including mental health, heart disease, diabetes, and personal financial awareness. We also have vacation and sick leave policies that provide employees with flexibility to take time away from work for relaxation or to recover from illness. The majority of our employees (including all full-time employees in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom) have access to our employee assistance program which includes third-party counseling and mental health services at no cost to the employee when life events impact an employee.

We are committed to identifying and developing the talents of our next generation of leaders. On an annual basis, we conduct an organization and leadership review for segment, business unit, and function leaders, focusing on our high performing and high potential talent and succession for our most critical roles. From this review, individualized development and retention programs are implemented or revised as needed. We also provide additional opportunities for our existing employees to enhance their careers. We invest in employee skills development in various ways, including through educational expense reimbursement. Specialized training in a job-related field gives employees new skills and a strong foundation of knowledge that can serve them throughout their career and that may allow them to progress to more responsible positions at Teledyne.

Item 1A.			Risk Factors

Risk Factors

The following discussion sets forth the material risk factors that could affect Teledyne’s financial condition and operations. You should not consider any descriptions of these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect Teledyne. Any of the risk factors discussed below could by itself, or combined with other factors, materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, competitive position or reputation, including by materially increasing expenses or decreasing revenues, which could result in material losses or a decrease in earnings.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

A possible recession in the United States or globally may adversely affect us.

We sell products and services to customers in industries that are sensitive to the level of general economic activity and consumer spending habits. If another recession emerges, either globally or in the United States, we may experience declines in revenues, profitability and cash flows from reduced orders, payment delays, collection difficulties, increased price pressures for our products, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories or other factors caused by the economic problems of our customers.

Acquisitions and our ability to make acquisitions involve inherent risks that may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our growth strategy includes acquisitions. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as:

•our ability to assess accurately the value, strengths, weaknesses, internal controls, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates;

•difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, including the potential loss of key personnel from an acquired business, our potential inability to achieve identified financial, operating and other synergies anticipated to result from an acquisition, and integration issues associated with internal controls of acquired businesses;

•the diversion of management’s attention from our existing businesses;

•the potential impairment of assets;

•potential unknown liabilities associated with a business that we acquire or in which we invest, including environmental liabilities;

•new and proposed regulations limiting the enforcement of noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements;

•production delays associated with consolidating acquired facilities and manufacturing operations;

•pre-existing vulnerabilities, undetected malware and access management issues at the acquired business and its supply chain;

•the incurrence of significant transaction costs, including for acquisitions which we may not complete; and

•the inadequacy of indemnification, insurance, escrows, holdbacks or other forms of protection for liabilities of the acquired company.

If we are unable to make acquisitions our future growth may be adversely impacted. Our ability to make acquisitions depends on a number of factors, including the availability of potential acquisition candidates at reasonable prices, competition from other bidders, the ability to obtain regulatory approvals, including under merger control and foreign direct investment laws, and the availability of debt and equity financing, among other factors. For additional discussion of business acquisition, see the discussion under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition” and Note 3.

Higher interest rates and other factors could cause our customers to reduce capital spending, which could adversely impact us.

Higher interest rates may reduce capital spending by our existing and potential customers, which could result in lower sales of our products.

Table of Contents

Increased prices for components and raw materials used in our products and higher labor and shipping costs could adversely impact our profitability.

In recent years, inflation and supply chain constraints resulted in sustained increases in the prices we pay for many of the components and raw materials used in our products. In addition, we have experienced higher labor costs due to increased competition for personnel in many regions in which we operate as well as general inflationary conditions, and higher shipping costs due to labor and rising energy prices. If we are unable to increase our product prices enough to offset these increased costs, our gross margins and profitability could decrease, perhaps significantly over a sustained period of time.

We have experienced component and raw material shortages in the past that impacted our ability to manufacture and ship all the product for which we have demand, and these constraints may continue in the future.

Our business in the recent past was impacted by interruptions in the supply chain, due in part to the COVID pandemic, a resumption of strong worldwide demand for electronic products and components across a number of end markets, and interruption in supplier operations. As a result, we experienced delivery delays and shortages of certain components and raw materials needed for many of the products we manufacture. Any such delays in the future would reduce our revenue and margins for the periods affected and would also result in an increase in our inventory of other components, which would reduce our operating cash flow.

We may not have sufficient resources to fund all future research and development and capital expenditures.

In order to remain competitive, we must make substantial investments in research and development of new or enhanced products and continuously upgrade our process technology and manufacturing capabilities. Our research and development efforts primarily involve engineering and design related to improving existing products and developing new products and technologies in the same or similar fields. We may be unable to fund all of our research and development and capital investment needs or possible strategic acquisitions of businesses or product lines. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on a variety of factors, some of which will not be within our control, including the existence of bank and capital markets, investor perceptions of us, our businesses and the industries in which we operate, and general economic conditions. Failure to successfully raise needed capital or generate cash flow on a timely or cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to successfully introduce new and enhanced products in a timely and cost-effective manner or increase our participation in new markets, which could harm our profitability and prospects.

Our operating results depend in part on our ability to introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis. Some of our businesses are engaged in major development activities. If we fail to execute on these development activities in a timely manner, our business could be negatively impacted. Some products, especially those sold by our Test and Measurement group, have short lifecycles that require frequent updating and new product innovation. We may not be able to develop and introduce new or enhanced products in a timely and cost-effective manner or develop and introduce products that satisfy customer requirements.

Increasing competition could reduce the demand for our products and services.

Each of our markets is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have, and potential competitors could have, greater name recognition, a larger installed base of products, more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities and greater financial, technological and personnel resources. New or existing competitors may also develop new technologies that could adversely affect the demand for our products and services. We have been experiencing increased competition for some of our key products. Furthermore, some of our patents have expired or are expiring, which could open up further competition. Additionally, some of our customers have been developing competing products or electing to vertically integrate and replace our products with their own.

Low-cost competition from China and other developing countries could also result in decreased demand for our products. Increasing competition could reduce the volume of our sales or the prices we may charge, which would negatively impact our revenues. We are experiencing increasing competition in many of our businesses, especially our digital imaging and instrumentation businesses, from Chinese manufacturers that offer lower cost products with increasingly advanced technical capabilities.

Risks Related to International Operations

We are subject to the risks associated with international sales and international operations, and events in those countries could harm our business or results of operations.

In 2024 and 2023, sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 48% and 49% of total net sales, respectively. In both 2024 and 2023, we sold products to customers in over 100 foreign countries. In 2024, the top five countries for sales to international customers, ranked by net sales, were the United Kingdom, China, Germany, Japan and France and represented approximately 19% of our total net sales. We anticipate that future sales to international customers will continue to account for a significant and increasing percentage of our revenues.

Risks associated with international sales and operations include, but are not limited to:

•political and economic instability, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the conflict in Israel and neighboring region and potential hostilities between China and Taiwan;

•additional deterioration in United States - China and United States - Russia relations;

•existing and intensifying global economic sanctions and export controls, including export controls related to China, sanctions related to Russia, and increasingly complex regulations related to exports of marine instruments, digital imaging and other products;

•our ability to obtain export licenses in a timely manner;

•unauthorized release of export-controlled or otherwise protected information;

•compliance with anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act;

•changes in tax laws and tariff rates;

•protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights;

•compliance with non-U.S. data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in the European Union and the Personal Information Protection Law in China;

•new and emerging non-U.S. regulations relating to ESG and CSR matters, which could be costly to comply with;

•international terrorism;

•transportation, including piracy in international waters;

•currency exchange rate fluctuations; and

•challenges relating to managing a global workforce with diverse cultures, backgrounds and labor laws.

The impact of these factors is difficult to predict, but one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations may increase the cost of our products to international customers and therefore reduce our competitive position. In addition to making our products manufactured in the United States more expensive, a stronger dollar impacts the value of our foreign profits when translated back into dollars. Since we report our financials in U.S. dollars, volatility in the strength of the U.S. dollar could have a material impact on our reported earnings.

Continued economic slowdown in China may adversely affect us.

Our net sales to China-based customers represented approximately 4% of total revenues in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Economic growth in China has slowed since the COVID pandemic. Continued growth in many of our businesses, including those in our Environmental Instrumentation group, could be negatively impacted if another economic downturn occurs in China.

Escalating global trade tensions and the adoption or expansion of tariffs and trade restrictions could negatively impact us.

In early 2025, the new U.S. Presidential administration announced significant new tariffs on foreign imports into the United States, specifically from Mexico and Canada, all of which were subsequently postponed prior to becoming effective, and China, and has proposed additional new tariffs that may be implemented in the future, including on member states of the European Union and on commodities like steel, aluminum and titanium. The administration has announced additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports and has threatened to raise tariffs on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and other products. High tariffs generally increase the cost of materials for our products, which could result in our products becoming less competitive or generating lower margins. The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions

Table of Contents

and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the United States and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Uncertainty around whether and the extent to which new tariffs will be imposed could also impact our supply chain and the cost of our products. We have significant operations in Canada and in member states of the European Union, which could be negatively impacted by a trade war with the United States. With high tariffs imposed on our products, we may also need to find new suppliers and components for our products, which could result in production delays. These countries could impose retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States. To the extent our products are the subject of retaliatory tariffs, customers may begin to seek domestic or non-U.S. sources for products that we sell, or be pressured or incentivized by foreign governments not to purchase U.S.-origin goods, which could harm our future sales in these markets. Further escalation of the “trade war” between the United States and China, or new trade wars between the United States and other countries, could result in continued or increased tariffs.

New and expanding economic sanctions and export restrictions could impact our ability to sell our products.

Recent export restrictions have had a significant impact on business. A number of well-established customers and suppliers have become listed on government restricted party lists. In particular, U.S. export enforcement agencies have placed several Chinese companies and many of their international subsidiaries on such lists, prohibiting the export to them of most commercial and dual-use items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. Furthermore, the United States has imposed certain sectoral sanctions to limit Chinese development and manufacturing of semiconductor and supercomputer technology and have imposed comprehensive restrictions of both U.S.-origin items as well as non-U.S. items manufactured from U.S.-origin equipment. In response, China has unveiled restrictions on exports from China of certain materials and components, including gallium and germanium which are used in semiconductor manufacturing and which has impacted the production and pricing of some of our digital imaging products. Many key suppliers to our businesses, whether direct or indirect, are based in China. These and other tariffs, trade restrictions and retaliatory measures could result in revenue reduction, price increases on material used in our products or significant production delays, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operational results and cash flows.

Sanctions on Russia imposed by multiple countries and related Teledyne policies have led to a comprehensive ban on commercial activity with that market.

Global conflicts could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations.

Conflicts around the world could negatively impact our operations.

The continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to energy market disruptions and shortages which could result in the shutdown of or slowdowns at our manufacturing facilities, particularly those located in Europe, and may result in substantial increases in the cost of energy.

The conflict in Israel and neighboring region could have a material impact on our business, especially if it escalates into a wider regional conflict. The conflict has resulted in some supply delays resulting from disruptions in shipping routes using the Red Sea and Suez Canal and could lead to higher energy prices and disruptions for suppliers and customers located in the region. Pro-Palestinian activist groups have targeted the facilities of defense companies, including our sites. Actions taken by these groups have the potential to disrupt activity and temporarily halt production at the sites targeted.

A military conflict between China and Taiwan would likely have a material adverse impact on our ability to sell products to customers in these areas and on our supply chain.

In-country manufacturing could result in lower demand for our products.

Many countries, including China, India and Saudi Arabia, have bolstered laws or regulations requiring the use of local suppliers and in-country manufacturing, which has had a negative impact on Teledyne’s revenues of instrumentation, commercial aerospace, marine and digital imaging products, as we currently have limited manufacturing operations in these countries. Several of our competitors in countries like China may be subsidized by state actors and as a result may be able to offer competing products at much lower prices than we can.

Risks Related to our Markets

We sell products in markets that are cyclical in nature and a downturn in one or more of these markets could materially impact our financial results.

We develop and manufacture products for customers in the energy exploration and production markets, commercial aerospace markets, the semiconductor industry, and the consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive and healthcare industries; each of which has been cyclical, exhibited rapid changes and suffered from fluctuating market demands. A cyclical downturn in one or more of these markets may materially affect future operating results. The current cyclical downturn in the semiconductor market has impacted the results of our digital imaging and instrumentation businesses.

Our revenue from U.S. Government contracts depends on the continued availability of funding from the U.S. Government, and, accordingly, we have the risk that funding for our existing contracts may be canceled or diverted to other uses or delayed or that funding for new programs will not be available. Similarly, sales to the European defense market depends on continued funding from European governments.

We perform work on a number of contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies and departments of the U.S. Government including subcontracts with government prime contractors. Sales under contracts with the U.S. Government, including sales under contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, as prime contractor or subcontractor, represented 24.3% and 24.5% of our total net sales in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Performance under government contracts has inherent risks that could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations, and the failure of Congress to appropriate funds for programs in which we participate could negatively affect our results of operations. U.S. Government operation under a continuing resolution could impact the business by preventing new programs from starting as planned and by limiting funding on existing programs. U.S. Government shutdowns have resulted in delays in anticipated contract awards and delayed payments of invoices for several of our businesses, and any new shutdown or increase in shutdowns could have similar or worse effects. Any renewed emphasis on Federal deficit and debt reduction could lead to a further decrease in overall defense spending. Budgetary concerns could result in future contracts being awarded more on price than on other competitive factors, and smaller defense budgets could result in government in-sourcing of programs and more intense competition on programs that are not in-sourced, which could result in lower revenues and profits.

The new Presidential administration has announced plans to significantly cut federal spending and the size of the federal government and has taken steps to reduce and reorganize the federal workforce at many agencies. It is unclear how such cuts, if implemented, could impact our current and future business with the U.S. government. If cuts to government personnel lead to staff shortages or disorganization at certain federal agencies, we may experience delays in obtaining contract awards or payments, the loss of current or future contracts, or delays in obtaining necessary permits, licenses or registrations.

Rising inflation and other factors also may result in a shift in U.S. defense spending between various programs based on priorities, which may result in a reduction or loss of expected revenues on programs in which we participate.

Changes in policy and budget priorities by the U.S. Presidential Administration for various defense and NASA programs could impact our Engineered Systems, Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Digital Imaging segments.

It is also not uncommon for the U.S. Department of Defense to delay the timing of awards or change orders for major programs for six to twelve months. These delays by the U.S. Government could impact our revenues. Uncertainty over budgets or priorities with the U.S. Presidential Administration could result in further delays in funding and the timing of awards, and changes in funded programs that could have a material impact on our revenues.

Further, most of our U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the U.S. Government either at its convenience or upon the default of the contractor. Termination for convenience provisions provides only for the recovery of costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed prior to termination. Termination for default clauses imposes liability on the contractor for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in re-procuring undelivered items from another source. During 2024 and 2023, contracts terminated by the U.S. Government have not materially impacted our results of operations.

We are seeing increased sales into the European defense market as European defense budgets increase as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, threats from Russia and other geopolitical instability. If European government funding on defense programs declines, or if defense spending priorities of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”)-member countries change with respect to Ukraine, existing and potential future sales would be negatively impacted.

Our U.S. Government contracting business is subject to government contracting regulations, including increasingly complex regulations on cybersecurity, and our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could harm our operating results and prospects.

Our U.S. Government contracting businesses, like other government contractors, are subject to various audits, reviews and investigations (including private party “whistleblower” lawsuits) relating to our compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. More routinely, the U.S. Government may audit the costs we incur on our U.S. Government contracts, including allocated indirect costs. Such audits could result in adjustments to our contract costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and such costs already reimbursed would need to be refunded. We have recorded contract revenues based upon costs we expect to realize after final audit. In a worst case scenario, should a business or division be charged with wrongdoing, or should the U.S. Government determine that the business or division is not a “presently responsible contractor,” that business or division, and conceivably our Company as a whole, could be temporarily suspended or, in the event of a conviction, could be debarred for up to three years from receiving new government contracts or government-approved subcontracts. In addition, we could expend substantial amounts defending against such charges and in damages, fines and penalties if such charges were proven or were to result in negotiated settlements. Routine audits by U.S. Government agencies of Teledyne’s various procurement and accounting systems have the potential to result in disapproval of the audited systems by the administrative contracting officer. Disapproval could significantly impact cash flow, as up to 10% may be withheld from payments, as well as significantly impact potential contract awards and increase audit oversight of individual contract proposals.

The Department of Defense as well as other U.S. Government contracting agencies have adopted rules and regulations requiring contractors to implement a set of cybersecurity measures to attain the safeguarding of contractor systems that process, store, or transmit certain information. Implementation and compliance with these cybersecurity requirements is complex and costly, and could result in unforeseen expenses, lower profitability and, in the case of non-compliance, penalties and damages, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business. The cybersecurity requirements also impact our supply base which could impact cost, schedule and performance on programs if suppliers do not meet the requirements and therefore, do not qualify to support the programs.

We also are required to procure certain materials and parts from supply sources approved by the U.S. Government. The inability of a supplier to meet our needs, the failure to obtain such approvals or the appearance of counterfeit parts in our products could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Such failure or inclusion could result in claims under the False Claims Act, which could lead to civil and criminal penalties and disbarment of the applicable business unit from doing business with the U.S. Government, among other things.

Risks associated with counterfeit parts could be exacerbated as a result of supply chain shortages or due to parts becoming obsolete. The Company is working to resolve a civil investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice relating to an ejection seat sequencer program and deliveries to the U.S. Government between 2006 and 2018 in which the use of counterfeit parts is alleged.

We generate revenue from companies in the oil and gas industry, especially the offshore oil and gas industry, a historically cyclical industry with levels of activity that are significantly affected by the levels and volatility of oil and gas prices, which has in the past impacted and can impact in the future our financial results.

Teledyne manufactures seismic energy sources, interconnects and data acquisition products that are used in offshore energy exploration. The oil and gas industry has historically been cyclical and characterized by significant changes in the levels of exploration and development activities. Oil and gas prices, and market expectations of potential changes in those prices, significantly affect the levels of those activities. Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and gas prices or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our businesses within our Instrumentation segment.

Some factors that have affected and are likely to continue affecting oil and gas prices and the level of demand for our products and services include the following:

•worldwide demand for oil and gas;

•the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), to set and maintain production levels;

•the level of production by non-OPEC countries;

•the war between Russia and Ukraine, including the implementation of price controls on Russian oil exports and restrictions on oil and gas exports imposed by Russia;

•conflict in the Middle East, including disruption of shipping lanes in the Red Sea;

•the ability of oil and gas companies to generate or raise funds for capital expenditures;

•domestic and foreign tax policy;

•laws and governmental regulations that restrict exploration and development of oil and gas in various offshore jurisdictions or the use of hydraulic fracturing;

•laws and governmental regulation that restrict the use of hydraulic fracturing;

•technological changes;

•the political environment of oil-producing regions;

•the price and availability of alternative fuels; and

•climate change regulations that provide incentives to conserve energy, use electric vehicles or use alternative energy sources, or that impose restrictions on the development and extraction of oil and gas.

The airline industry is heavily regulated, and if we fail to comply with applicable requirements, our results of operations could suffer.

Our commercial aerospace group produces products for use in commercial aviation. Governmental agencies throughout the world, including the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), prescribe standards and qualification requirements for aircraft components, including virtually all commercial airline and general aviation products. Specific regulations vary from country to country, although compliance with FAA requirements generally satisfies regulatory requirements in other countries. If any material authorization or approval qualifying us to supply our products is revoked or suspended, then sale of the product would be prohibited by law, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The FAA and equivalent regulatory agencies have increasingly focused on the need to assure that airline industry products are designed with sufficient cybersecurity controls to protect against unauthorized access or other unwanted compromise. A failure to meet these evolving expectations could negatively impact sales into the industry and expose us to legal or contractual liability.

Changes in production rates for major aircraft manufacturers, like Boeing and Airbus, impact our commercial aerospace businesses. Boeing and Airbus recently have struggled to meet delivery targets due to supply chain issues and other challenges. In January 2024, the FAA ordered the temporary grounding of Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft as a result of an incident on a Boeing 737-9 MAX where it lost a “door plug.” The FAA capped the output of Boeing 737-MAX aircraft until quality control targets are reached. A strike by machinists at Boeing in 2024 lasted almost two months and resulted in a pause in aircraft production. These factors have negatively impacted our sales to Airbus and Boeing and any future pauses or reductions in manufacturing could negatively impact our business.

A change in policy direction related to environmental regulations and green energy could negatively impact demand for our monitoring instruments and energy systems products.

Many of our products are used by industrial customers and municipalities to monitor ambient air quality, water quality and gas and particulate emissions in order comply with regulatory requirements issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies. The new Presidential Administration has signaled its intent to scale back many of these regulations, which could result in decreased demand for our products. The new Presidential Administration has also signaled its intent to roll back green energy initiatives, which could harm our energy systems business that manufactures hydrogen-based energy generation systems.

Risks related to Finance and Tax Matters

Our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with our covenants that apply to our indebtedness, could materially and adversely affect our business.

As of December 29, 2024, we had $2,665.0 million total outstanding indebtedness in senior notes. As of December 29, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding under our $1.20 billion credit facility. Teledyne incurred a significant amount of indebtedness in connection with the financing of the acquisition of FLIR in 2021. The agreements we entered into with respect to our indebtedness, including the agreements we entered into to finance the FLIR acquisition and in connection with the assumption of FLIR’s existing senior notes, contain negative covenants, that, subject to certain exceptions, include limitations on indebtedness related to our credit facility, liens, dispositions, investments and mergers and other fundamental changes. Our ability to comply with these negative covenants can be affected by events beyond our control. The indebtedness and these negative covenants may also have the effect, among other things, of limiting our ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, reducing the funds available to make acquisitions or capital expenditures, reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business or market conditions, and making us more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions. In addition, a breach of the negative covenants could result in an event of default with respect to the indebtedness, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Any future indebtedness incurred under our credit facility will expose us to interest rate risk.

We may not be able to service our debt obligations.

Our ability to meet our interest expense and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, including the cash we generate from operating activities, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, including potential changes in laws or regulations, industry conditions, industry supply and demand, customer preferences, the success of our products and pressure from competitors. If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations or should we fail to comply with our financial and other negative covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, we may be required to refinance all or part of our debt, sell strategic assets at unfavorable prices, incur additional indebtedness or issue common stock or other equity securities. We may not be able to, at any given time, refinance our debt, sell assets, incur additional indebtedness or issue equity securities on terms acceptable to us, in amounts sufficient to meet our needs. If we are able to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, such issuance would also result in dilution to our stockholders. Our inability to service our obligations or refinance our debt could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

The credit rating of Teledyne could be downgraded, which may increase borrowing costs.

The credit ratings of Teledyne’s debt could be subject to a downgrade below investment grade. If a ratings downgrade were to occur, we could experience higher borrowing costs in the future and more restrictive debt covenants, which would reduce profitability and diminish operational flexibility. A ratings downgrade could also limit our access to certain sources of debt financing.

Higher tax rates may harm our results of operations and cash flow.

Increases in the United States on the taxation of foreign income and expense may harm our results of operations and cash flow. The relative amount of income we earn in jurisdictions outside the United States could reduce our net income and increase our cash payments. Additionally, beginning in 2023, the United States has adopted a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax for certain large corporations. Teledyne does not expect to be subject to this tax in 2023 or 2024; however, Teledyne is closely monitoring the potential impact of the U.S. corporate minimum tax. Many other jurisdictions have also enacted corporate global 15% minimum tax rules, which applied to Teledyne beginning in 2024. Teledyne is monitoring the impact of these foreign minimum tax rules. Increased tax due to corporate minimum taxes in the United States or in other jurisdictions could reduce our net income and increase our cash payments.

Changes in future business conditions could cause business investments, goodwill and other long-lived assets to become impaired, resulting in significant losses and write-downs that would reduce our operating income.

On December 29, 2024, Teledyne’s goodwill was $7,990.5 million and net acquired intangible assets were $2,012.9 million. We are required to test annually both acquired goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment based upon a fair value approach, rather than amortizing the value over time. We have chosen to perform our annual impairment reviews of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. We are also required to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce our enterprise fair value below its book value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, including a significant sustained decline in an entity’s market value, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the fair market value is less than the carrying value, including goodwill, we could be required to record a non-cash impairment charge. The valuation of reporting units requires judgment in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and estimated product life cycles. In making these judgments, we evaluate the financial health of the business, including such factors as industry performance, changes in technology and operating cash flows. As we have grown through acquisitions, the amount of goodwill and net acquired intangible assets is a significant portion of our total assets. As a result, the amount of any annual or interim impairment could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results for the period in which the charge is taken. Goodwill and acquired intangibles assets of recently acquired reporting units generally represent a higher inherent risk of impairment, which typically decreases as the businesses are integrated into the Company. We also may be required to record an earnings charge or incur unanticipated expenses if, as a result of a change in strategy or other reason, we were to determine the value of other assets had been impaired.

For additional discussion of business acquisitions, goodwill and other long-lived assets, see the discussion under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition” and Note 3.

Risks related to climate change

Climate change may disrupt or adversely impact our business.

Climate change may have an increasingly adverse impact on our business and those of our customers, partners and suppliers. While we seek to mitigate the risks associated with climate change on our operations, there are inherent climate-related risks globally. As discussed under the risk factor below headed “Natural and man-made disasters could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition,” some of our manufacturing facilities are located in regions that may be impacted by severe weather events, like hurricanes or ice storms, or in areas prone to wildfires, droughts and rising sea levels, the frequency and severity of which may increase as a result of climate change. These events could result in potential damage to our physical assets as well as disruptions in manufacturing activities. Severe weather and wildfire events may impair the ability of our employees to work effectively. Climate change, including the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, its impact on our supply chain and critical infrastructure worldwide and its potential to increase political instability in regions where we, our customers, partners and our suppliers do business, may disrupt our business and may cause us to experience higher employee attrition and higher costs to maintain or resume operations. The effects of climate change also may impact our decisions to construct new facilities or maintain existing facilities in the areas most prone to physical risks, which could similarly increase our operating and material costs. We could also face indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain that could result in higher prices for our products and the resources needed to produce them.

We sell products to customers directly engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Changes to regulations, social practices and preferences, energy generation and transportation technologies that may occur or be implemented to mitigate climate change could result in reduced demand for hydrocarbon products, which could result in a reduction in sales to these customers.

Regulations associated with climate change could adversely affect our business.

Legislative and regulatory measures currently under consideration or being implemented by government authorities to address climate change could require reductions in our GHG or other emissions, establish a carbon tax or increase fuel or energy taxes. We have also voluntarily announced goals to reduce our GHG emissions by a target date. These legal requirements, in addition to emission reduction efforts that we voluntarily undertake, are expected to result in increased capital expenditures and compliance costs and could result in higher costs required to operate and maintain our facilities, procure raw materials and energy, and may require us to acquire emission credits or carbon offsets. These costs and restrictions could harm our business and results of operations by increasing our expenses or requiring us to alter our operations and product design activities. Proposed rules under the Federal Acquisition Regulation and similar rules in other jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom require or will require major contractors to disclose enhanced information on GHG emissions and commit to GHG emission reduction targets. If we are unable to comply with these rules, we may be ineligible to receive future contract awards from the United States and other governments. The inconsistent international, regional and/or national requirements associated with climate change regulations also create economic and regulatory uncertainty.

Table of Contents

Investor sentiment towards climate change and sustainability could adversely affect our business and the market price for our common stock.

Increased investor focus and activism related to climate change and sustainability may hinder our access to capital, as investors may reconsider their capital investment as a result of their assessment of our sustainability practices. We may face increasing pressure regarding our sustainability disclosures and practices. Additionally, members of the investment community may screen companies such as ours for sustainability performance before investing in our stock. If we are unable to meet the sustainability standards set by these investors, or if we are unable meet GHG reduction targets we communicate to the public, we may lose investors, our stock price may be negatively impacted, and our reputation may be negatively affected.

Risks related to Legal and Compliance Matters

Adverse findings in matters related to export control practices, including FLIR’s historical practices, could materially impact us.

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

We have made other voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, including to the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) with respect to Teledyne FLIR shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not licensed due to incorrect de minimis calculation methodology under the Export Administration Regulations. We have made voluntary disclosures to export authorities in jurisdictions outside the United States for certain potential violations of local export laws.

At this time, based on available information, we are unable to reasonably estimate the time it may take to resolve these matters or the amount or range of potential loss, penalty or other government action, if any, that may be incurred in connection with these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome could result in substantial fines and penalties or loss or suspension of export privileges or of particular authorizations that could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in and following the period in which such outcome becomes estimable or known.

We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights, or third parties may claim we infringe their intellectual rights, each which may harm our ability to compete and thus harm our business.

Our ability to enforce and protect our patents, copyrights, software licenses, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights is subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of our intellectual property rights in various countries. When we seek to enforce our rights, we have found that various claims may be asserted against us, including claims that our intellectual property right is invalid, is otherwise not enforceable or is licensed to the party against whom we are asserting a claim. In addition, we may be the target of aggressive and opportunistic enforcement of patents by third parties. If we are not ultimately successful in defending ourselves against these claims in litigation, we may not be able to sell a product or family of products due to an injunction, or we may have to pay damages that could, in turn, harm our results of operations. Our inability to enforce our intellectual property rights under these circumstances may harm our competitive position and our business.

Product liability claims, product recalls and field service actions could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition and we may have difficulty obtaining product liability and other insurance coverage.

As a manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of products, including monitoring instruments, gas and flame detection instruments, products used in offshore oil and gas production, products used in transportation and commercial aviation, products used in maritime navigation and products used in medical devices (including X-ray detectors), our results of operations are susceptible to adverse publicity regarding the quality or safety of our products. Product liability claims challenging the safety of our products may result in a decline in sales for a product, which could adversely affect our results of operations. This could be the case even if the claims themselves are proven to be untrue or settled for immaterial amounts.

While we have general liability and other insurance policies concerning product liabilities and errors and omissions, we have self-insured retentions or deductibles under such policies with respect to a portion of these liabilities. Awarded damages could be more than our accruals. We could incur losses above the aggregate annual policy limit as well. We cannot ensure that, for 2025 and in future years, insurance carriers will be willing to renew coverage or provide new coverage for product liability.

Table of Contents

Product recalls can be expensive and tarnish our reputation and have a material adverse effect on the sales of our products. We cannot assure that we will not have additional product liability claims or that we will not recall any products.

We have been joined, among a number of defendants (often over 100), in lawsuits alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to asbestos. In addition, because of the prominent “Teledyne” name, we may continue to be mistakenly joined in lawsuits involving a company or business that was not assumed by us as part of our 1999 spin-off. To date, we have not incurred material liabilities in connection with these lawsuits. However, our historical insurance coverage, including that of our predecessors, may not fully cover such claims and the defense of such matters. Coverage typically depends on the year of purported exposure and other factors. Nonetheless, we intend to vigorously defend our position against these claims.

Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. and other Teledyne companies manufacture components for customers in the nuclear power market, including utilities and certain governmental entities. Certain liabilities associated with such products are covered by the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act and other statutory and common law defenses, and we have received indemnities from some of our customers. However, there is no assurance we will not face product liability claims related to such products or that our exposure will not exceed the amounts for which we have liability coverage or protection.

Failing to comply with increasing environmental regulations, as well as the effects of potential environmental liabilities, could have a material adverse financial effect on us.

We, like other industry participants, are subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations.

Our manufacturing operations, including former operations, could expose us to material environmental liabilities. Additionally, companies that we acquire may have environmental liabilities that might not be accurately assessed or brought to our attention at the time of the acquisition.

Our Teledyne Battery Products unit makes lead acid batteries in California and is subject to a variety of environmental regulations and inspections, which have increased over time. Also, some of our sites conduct electroplating, metal finishing and other operations that utilize hazardous materials that are subject to similar regulations. Regulatory changes or failure by a business to meet applicable requirements could disrupt that business or force a closure or relocation of the business.

Our products are subject to various regulations that prohibit or restrict the use of certain hazardous substances. For example, our products placed on the European market are subject to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals and the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment Directives. Future hazardous substance restrictions or prohibitions may limit our ability to market some products in certain countries.

For additional discussion of environmental matters, see the discussion under the caption “Other Matters – Environmental” of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition” and Note 17.

Other risks we face

Natural and man-made disasters could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Several of our facilities, as a result of their locations, could be subject to a catastrophic loss caused by earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, ice storms, rising sea levels, droughts or other natural disasters. Many of our production facilities and our headquarters are located in California and thus are in areas with above average seismic activity and may also be at risk of damage due to wildfire or mudslides. In November 2018 and again in 2024, wildfires impacted areas near our headquarters and principal research and development center in Thousand Oaks, California, resulting in temporary disruptions and evacuations of employees who lived nearby. Local utilities may impose blackouts during high fire risk weather conditions, which could result in disruptions to our businesses located in California, including our headquarters.

In the event of a major earthquake, tornado, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, vandalism, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack or health epidemic (including COVID), we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in our production, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition and have a material adverse impact on us. Starting in December 2022, a series of direct-action protests by political extremists on several of our facilities in the United Kingdom have resulted in trespass and vandalism and in some cases caused damage to our facilities and interrupted some productions lines for a period of time. Teledyne FLIR’s components operation is a single source supplier of certain sensors used throughout the FLIR business, and a disruption in business due to a disaster could have a material adverse impact on the businesses of Teledyne FLIR. Teledyne’s facilities in Quebec, Canada have been impacted by loss of electrical power caused by severe ice storms. In addition, we have manufacturing facilities in the southeastern United States and Texas that have been threatened or struck by major hurricanes. Our businesses located in Houston, Texas and Daytona Beach, Florida have been impacted in the past by hurricanes. Our facilities in Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Tennessee and Virginia have also been threatened by tornados. If any of our California facilities were to experience a catastrophic earthquake or wildfire loss, or if any of our Alabama, Florida, Nebraska,

Table of Contents

Tennessee or Texas facilities were to experience a catastrophic hurricane, storm, tornado or other natural disaster, or if Teledyne’s facilities in Quebec experience long-term loss of electrical power, such event could disrupt our operations, delay production, shipments and revenue, result in large expenses to repair or replace the facility or facilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the insurance we maintain may be insufficient to cover our losses resulting from disasters, cyber-attacks or other business interruptions, and any incidents may result in loss of, or increased costs of, such insurance. Our existing disaster recovery and business continuity plans (including those relating to our information technology systems) may not be fully responsive to, or minimize losses associated with, catastrophic events.

Disasters also have an indirect adverse impact on our business. For example, in 2018, a fire at a Netherlands-based facility of a key supplier of printed circuit boards resulted in delivery disruptions to the electronics industry, including to businesses in our Digital Imaging segment.

Our business and operations could suffer in the event of cybersecurity breaches.

Attempts by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems have become more sophisticated and are sometimes successful. These attempts, which might be related to industrial or foreign government espionage, crime, activism, or other motivations, include covertly introducing malware into our computers and computer networks, performing reconnaissance, impersonating authorized users, extortion, fraud, and stealing, corrupting or restricting our access to data, among other activities. We have in the past experienced cyber-attacks including some loss of confidentiality and some loss of availability, although these attacks have not had material impact on our business. Our customers and suppliers have also experienced successful cyber-attacks, which in some cases resulted in payments by or to us being unlawfully diverted. We continue to train our personnel and update our infrastructure, security tools and processes, including processes for integration of newly acquired businesses, to protect against security incidents, including both external and internal threats, and to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence. Company personnel and third parties have been tasked to prevent, deter, detect, respond to, and investigate such incidents; however, it is possible that we might not prevent or be aware of or be able to react to an incident or to fully mitigate its effects. The theft, corruption, unauthorized use or publication of our intellectual property or confidential business information due to a cyber-attack could harm our competitive position, damage our reputation, reduce the value of our investment in research and development and other strategic initiatives or otherwise adversely affect our business. We are subject to U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Energy regulations applicable to certain types of data residing on or transiting through our information systems, and these regulations have been and will continue to be incorporated into certain U.S. Government contracts that we hold. To the extent that any security breach results in inappropriate disclosure of confidential or controlled information of employees, third parties or the U.S. Government, or any of the deployed security controls are deemed insufficient, we may incur liability or the loss of contracts or security clearances. As a result, we expect to continue to devote resources to the security of our information technology systems, operating technology systems, products and services. More resources may be required in the defense arena to the extent the U.S. Government increases its cybersecurity mandates. Unauthorized access to or control of our products, data, devices or systems could impact the safety of our customers and other third parties which could result in legal claims against us. Security breaches also could result in a violation of applicable U.S. and international privacy and other laws, including GDPR, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, and California Consumer Privacy Act, or SEC regulations, and subject us to private consumer or securities litigation and governmental investigations and proceedings, any of which could result in our exposure to material civil or criminal liability. The systemic cybersecurity risk environment is elevated, in part by geopolitical conflicts and tensions, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the war in Israel and neighboring regions, and increased supply chain-related cyber-risks. New technologies, including generative artificial intelligence (“AI”), quantum computing, new uses of QR codes and other innovations in digital communications, introduce new attack vectors, and new potential compromise scenarios, which malicious adversaries can exploit.

Issues in the development and use of artificial intelligence may result in reputational harm or liability, and failure to introduce new and innovative products that have artificial intelligence capabilities could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

We currently incorporate machine learning and AI capabilities into certain of our products and solutions and may seek to expand the use of AI in our offerings in the future. As with many innovations, AI presents risks, challenges, and unintended consequences that could affect our business. AI algorithms and training methodologies may be flawed. These deficiencies and other failures of AI systems could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Further, incorporating AI could give rise to litigation risk and risk of non-compliance and unknown cost of compliance, as AI is an emerging technology for which the legal and regulatory landscape is not fully developed (including potential liability for breaching intellectual property or privacy rights or laws). While new AI initiatives, laws, and regulations are emerging and evolving, what they ultimately will look like remains uncertain, and our obligation to comply with them could entail significant costs, negatively affect our business, or entirely limit our ability to incorporate certain AI capabilities into our offerings.

Table of Contents

Additionally, leveraging AI capabilities to potentially improve internal functions and operations presents further risks and challenges. The use of AI to support business operations carries inherent risks related to data privacy and security, such as intended, unintended, or inadvertent transmission of proprietary, sensitive or export-controlled information, as well as challenges related to implementing and maintaining AI tools. Additionally, our competitors might move faster than us to gain efficiencies by incorporating AI into their design and development processes, and our products and/or cost structure could become less competitive as a result.

The rapid evolution of AI will require the application of resources by us to develop, test and maintain our products, services and operations to help ensure that AI is implemented ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact.

Our competitors may be faster or more successful than we are in incorporating AI and other disruptive technology into their offerings, which would impair our ability to compete successfully.

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel.

Our future success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key management and technical personnel and on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. The lack of human capital due to very competitive labor market conditions in certain regions could impact our ability to deliver products and services. The skilled manufacturing and specialized engineering labor market is currently very competitive. A significant portion of our revenue depends on the availability of a highly skilled technical workforce. It is critical that we retain, develop, and grow our workforce to protect future revenue and improve our competitive advantage.

We also have a mature workforce. Some of our businesses, including our businesses in engineered systems as well as in traveling wave tube and integrated microwave module design and development, draw from a pool of specialized engineering talent that is small and, in some cases, currently shrinking. Some of our businesses have a need for employees with a certain level of security clearance, and competition for such employees has increased. While we have engaged in succession planning, the loss of the services of one or more of our key employees or our failure to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business and financial results could be adversely affected by conditions and other factors associated with our suppliers and subcontractors.

Some items we purchase for the manufacture of our products are purchased from limited or single sources of supply due to technical capability, price and other factors. Furthermore, sole source supply is more common among our businesses that are heavily involved in research and development because there can be few suppliers in the world capable of producing the products or providing the services with the right highly specialized technology. We have also outsourced from time to time the manufacturing of certain parts, components, subsystems and even finished products to single or limited sources, including international sources. Disruption of these sources or supplier-imposed rationing of scarce components could cause delays or reductions in shipments of our products or increases in our costs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or operations. International sources pose additional risks, some of which are similar to those described above regarding international sales. With any continuing disruption in the global economy and financial markets, some of our suppliers may also continue to face issues gaining access to sufficient credit and materials to maintain their businesses, which could reduce the availability of some components and, to the extent such suppliers are single source suppliers, could adversely affect our ability to continue to manufacture and sell our products. Some companies engage subcontractors to perform a portion of the services we provide to our customers. To provide these services, the subcontractor must be financially viable and compliant with applicable laws, regulations and contract terms. Non-performance by a subcontractor could result in misalignment between subcontractor performance and our contractual obligations to our customers.

We face risks related to sales through distributors and other third parties which could harm our business.

We sell a portion of our products through third parties such as distributors, sales representatives and value-added resellers. Use of third party sales channels expose Teledyne to risks, including concentration, credit risk and legal risk because under certain circumstances we may be held responsible for the actions of third party intermediaries. We may rely on one or more key third party intermediaries for selling a product, and the loss of these third party intermediaries could reduce our revenue. Third party intermediaries may face financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, which could harm our collection of accounts receivables and financial results. Violations of anti-corruption laws, trade compliance regulations, procurement regulations and other laws and regulations by third party intermediaries could have a material impact on our business. Competitors could also block our access to such parties. Failing to manage risks related to our use of third party intermediaries may reduce sales, increase expenses, and weaken our competitive position, and result in sanctions against us.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to sell or reconfigure businesses, facilities or product lines that we determine no longer meet with our growth strategy or that should be consolidated.

Consistent with our strategy to emphasize growth in our core markets, we continually evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy and objectives. Over the years we have also consolidated some of our business units and facilities, in some cases to respond to downturns in the defense or oil and gas industries, among other reasons. We may not be able to realize efficiencies and cost savings from our consolidation activities. There is no assurance that our efforts will be successful. Our ability to dispose of, exit or reconfigure businesses that may no longer be aligned with our growth strategy will depend on many factors, including the terms and conditions of any asset purchase and sale agreement or lease agreement, as well as industry, business and economic conditions.

Risks related to Corporate Governance Matters

Provisions of our governing documents, applicable law, and our Change in Control Severance Agreements could make an acquisition of Teledyne more difficult.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware contain several provisions, that could make the acquisition of control of Teledyne, in a transaction not approved by our Board, more difficult. We have also entered into Change in Control Severance Agreements with seven members of our current management, which could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions may prevent or discourage attempts to acquire our Company.

Our Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain lawsuits between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a judicial forum that it finds favorable for such lawsuits and make it more costly for our stockholders to bring such lawsuits, which may have the effect of discouraging such lawsuits.

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our Bylaws further provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. Our Bylaws also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this forum selection provision.

However, this forum selection provision is not intended to apply to any actions brought under the Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and accordingly, the forum selection provision in our Bylaws will not relieve us of our duties to comply with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.

Nevertheless, this forum selection provision in our Bylaws may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers and other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Delaware. While we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce the forum selection provision contained in our Bylaws is low, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Securities

An investment in Teledyne’s Common Stock and other securities involve risks, many of which are beyond our control.

Stock markets in general, including the New York Stock Exchange on which our Common Stock is listed, have experienced a high degree of price and volume fluctuations that are not necessarily related to operating performance of the listed companies. In addition to general economic, political and market conditions, such volatility may be related to: (i) changes from analysts’ expectations in revenues, earnings and other financial results; (ii) strategic actions by other competitors; (iii) changes to budgets or policies of the United States and other governments; and (iv) other risks described in this report. We cannot provide assurances as to our Common Stock price, which during fiscal 2024 ranged from a low of $355.41 to a high of $492.00.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.


Item 1C. Cybersecurity

We face many cybersecurity threats including ransomware and more advanced and persistent threats from state-affiliated groups. We have experienced cyber-attacks in the past and may experience cybersecurity incidents going forward. Our customers and suppliers face similar cybersecurity threats. While prior incidents have not materially affected our business, results of operations or financial condition, there is no guarantee that a future cyber incident would not affect our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for more information on our cybersecurity risks.

Risk Management and Strategy

Our cybersecurity strategy prioritizes risk identification, quantification, communication, and mitigation, and this strategy is aligned with our overall Enterprise Risk Management strategy. Our strategy focuses on the deterrence, early detection, interception, and interruption of potential cyber-attacks. We strive to continuously monitor, evaluate, prioritize and mitigate vulnerabilities and attacks. Our policies and processes are compliant with applicable control frameworks provided by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and other applicable standards.

Our employees are required to take cybersecurity-related training which promotes awareness of how to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats. We utilize benchmarking against peers in the industry to validate our defense posture, and we conduct internal and external assessments to evaluate our controls around information technology, operating technology, and product and service information security. We work with government, customer, industry and/or supplier partners, such as the National Defense Cyber Alliance to gather and develop best practices and share information to address cyber threats, and we contribute to overall cyber-safety of the defense industrial base through contributions of threat intelligence to law enforcement agencies.

We deploy layered defenses and connect them to allow automated responses to urgent threats, which aims to provide continued protection for mobile computing systems when they are outside the company perimeter. We conduct active threat hunting and vulnerability scanning to anticipate and pro-actively mitigate risks. We utilize third-party risk scoring services to quantify cybersecurity risks associated with our supply chain and service providers. We also use cybersecurity vetting procedures to maintain lists of approved and disallowed applications and services.

We have incident response plans and procedures, the goal of which is to enable the company to respond effectively and compliantly should a cyber-incident arise. “Tabletop” exercises are held at both the technical and executive level to maintain readiness to respond and to identify any areas where improvements or updates are required. We engage third-party expertise and utilize threat intelligence feeds to supplement and enhance our internal team of cybersecurity professionals.

Governance

Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for reviewing, discussing and making recommendations to the Board on cybersecurity matters. Our Vice President of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) and our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) provide presentations to the Audit Committee on cybersecurity status, outcomes, and risks at each quarterly meeting. These briefings include assessments of cyber risks and threats landscape, updates on incidents, and our investments and plans in cybersecurity risk mitigation and governance.

At the management level, our Enterprise Risk Management Committee identifies and drives mitigation of company-wide risks, including those related to cybersecurity. The committee consists of our Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary (“Chair”), Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary, Associate General Counsel and Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Vice President and CIO, and individuals representing the business operations. The Chair of the Enterprise Risk Management Committee periodically reports to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on the progress and results of the actions taken by the committee.

Our management team, including our Enterprise Risk Management Committee, CIO and CISO, is responsible for assessing and managing our cybersecurity risks and threats. Our CISO, who has approximately 30 years in various information technology and security roles and reports to our CIO, is primarily responsible for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both internal and external resources to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks, threats, and incidents. As such, our CISO has extensive experience and expertise in developing, implementing, and operating security policies and procedures covering our protective defenses of our network and critical data. We have established processes by which the CISO routinely informs the management team and the Board of cybersecurity risks, threats and incidents that have been identified or are reasonably likely of occurring and how such matters are managed.

Strategy/Overview

Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our four business segments: Digital Imaging, Instrumentation, Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Engineered Systems. The markets in which we sell our enabling technologies are characterized by high barriers to entry and include specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. We intend to strengthen and expand our business with targeted acquisitions and through product development. We continue to focus on balanced and disciplined capital deployment among capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases and product development. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings by emphasizing cost containment and evaluating cost reductions in all aspects of our business. At Teledyne, operational excellence includes the rapid integration of the businesses we acquire. Using complementary technology across our businesses and through targeted research and development, we seek to create new products to grow our company and expand our addressable markets. We continually evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.

Trends and Other Matters Affecting Our Business

Sales recorded and costs incurred by subsidiaries operating outside of the United States are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. See Item 7 A . Market Risk, Note 1 and Note 14 for additional discussion around our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

In February 2025, the U.S. Presidential administration proposed certain orders directing the United States to potentially impose new tariffs on foreign imports impacting multiple countries, commodities and industries. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the proposed tariffs to our business and financial condition. See our risks factor disclosure in Item 1A. Risk Factors for further information.

Recent Acquisitions

Consistent with our strategy, we completed two acquisitions each in 2024 and in 2023. The financial results of these acquisitions have been included since the respective date of each acquisition. Our 2024 and 2023 acquisitions were within the Digital Imaging and Instrumentation segments. See Note 3 for additional information about our 2024 and 2023 business acquisitions. Subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2024, we have completed two acquisitions. See Note 18 for additional information.

Selected Consolidated Operating Results

Our fiscal year is determined based on a 52- or 53-week convention ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023 each contained 52 weeks. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We now disclose research and development expense on a separate income statement line. Research and development expense was previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, we historically included bid and proposal expense as part of its annual research and development expense disclosures. We have not reclassified bid and proposal expense, which remains withing selling, general and administrative expense. We also now disclose impairment of acquired intangible assets on a separate income statement line item. Impairment of acquired intangible assets was previously included within selling, general and administrative expense.

Net Sales:

Net sales increased across three of our four business segments. Total year 2024 net sales included $49.4 million in incremental net sales from current and prior year acquisitions. Refer to “Business Segment Operating Results” later in this section for additional discussion of changes in net sales. Sales to international customers represented approximately 48% of net sales in 2024 and 49% of net sales in 2023. Approximately 24% and 25% of our total net sales for 2024 and 2023, respectively, were derived from contracts with agencies of, or prime contractors to, the U.S. Government.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased in 2024, primarily driven by the impact of higher net sales as well as higher engineering costs. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for 2024 was 57.1%, compared with 56.7% for 2023. Refer to “Business Segment Operating Results” later in this section for additional discussion of changes in cost of sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense increased in 2024, primarily driven by higher sales across most segments. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 15.9% for 2024, compared with 15.1% for 2023. Corporate expense in 2024 was $77.8 million, compared with $65.6 million in 2023, with the increase primarily related to higher compensation expense, including higher stock-based compensation as well as higher consulting and legal costs.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense decreased in 2024, primarily driven by a decrease within the Digital Imaging segment.

Acquired Intangible Asset Amortization

Acquired intangible asset amortization for 2024 was $198.0 million, compared with $196.7 million for 2023.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Acquired Intangible Assets

We recorded $52.5 million of pretax, non-cash trademark impairments in 2024 in the Digital Imaging and Instrumentation segments. No comparative amounts were recorded in 2023.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased in 2024 primarily driven by $52.5 million of pretax, non-cash trademark impairments recorded in 2024. No comparative amounts were recorded in 2023.

Non-operating Income and Expense

Interest expense, including credit facility fees and other bank charges and net of interest income, was $57.9 million in 2024, compared with $77.3 million in 2023. The decrease was due primarily to reduced outstanding borrowings with lower weighted average interest rates compared to 2023. In 2023, we repurchased and retired $10 million of its Fixed Rate Senior Notes due April 2031, recording a $1.6 million non-cash gain on the extinguishment of this debt. The other expense, net in other income and expense, net, in 2024 was driven primarily by lower foreign exchange losses compared to the 2023 other expense, net amount.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision considers income, permanent items, tax credits, and various statutory tax rates. The effective tax rate decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower reversals of unrecognized tax benefits in 2024 as well as lower research and development tax credits in 2024. See Note 9 for further information regarding our income taxes.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Principal Cash and Capital Requirements

Our principal cash and capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, income tax payments and debt service requirements, as well as acquisitions. We may deploy cash for the stock repurchase program. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility and the debt financing arrangements described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements. To support acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. 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 or unconsolidated entities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $649.8 million at December 29, 2024, of which $314.4 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Table of Contents

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt, including unamortized debt issuance costs was $2,649.0 million at December 29, 2024 compared to $3,244.9 million at December 31, 2023. During 2024, we repaid $450.0 million Fixed Rate Senior Notes due April 2024 and $150.0 million for a term loan due October 2024.

At December 29, 2024, we had $52.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, including $29.3 million against our credit facility.

Our credit facility requires us to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at December 29, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants and had a significant amount of margin between required financial covenant ratios and our actual ratios. Currently, we do not believe our ability to undertake additional debt financing, if needed, is reasonably likely to be materially impacted by debt restrictions under our credit agreements. Available borrowing capacity under the $1.20 billion credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and $29.3 million in outstanding letters of credit, was $1,170.7 million at December 29, 2024.

See Note 8 for additional information regarding our credit facility and long-term debt.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our expected cash outflows resulting from financial contracts and commitments at December 29, 2024:


Contractual obligations (in millions):	2025		2026		2027		2028		2029		After 2030		Total
Debt obligations	$	0.4	$	450.1	$	—	$	700.1	$	0.1	$	1,515.5	$	2,666.2
Interest expense (a)	64.9		59.5		57.7		45.9		41.2		43.5		312.7

Total	$	509.6	$	550.6	$	86.3	$	765.8	$	56.3	$	1,592.4	$	3,561.0

(a) Interest expense related to the credit facility, including facility fees, is assumed to accrue at the rates in effect at year-end 2023 and is assumed to be paid at the end of each quarter with the final payment in June 2029 when the credit facility expires.

(b) Includes imputed interest and the short-term portion of lease obligations.

(c) Purchase obligations generally include contractual obligations for the purchase of goods and services and capital commitments that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

Unrecognized tax benefits of $45.2 million and accrued interest and penalties on these tax matters of $8.5 million are not included in the table above. These unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest and penalties are not included in the table above because $25.7 million is offset by deferred tax assets, and the remainder cannot be reasonably estimated to be settled in cash due to a lack of prior settlement history and offsetting credits.

At December 29, 2024, we were not required, and accordingly are not planning, to make any cash contributions to the domestic qualified pension plans for 2025. Our minimum funding requirements after 2024 as set forth by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, are dependent on several factors. Estimates beyond 2025 have not been provided due to the significant uncertainty of these amounts, which are subject to change until the Company’s pension assumptions can be updated at the appropriate times. In addition, certain pension contributions are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government under certain government contracts, therefore, future cash contributions are not necessarily indicative of the impact these contributions may have on our liquidity. We also have payments due under our other postretirement benefit plans. These plans are not required to be funded in advance but are pay as you go. See further discussion in Note 10. We monitor and manage our defined benefit pension plans obligation and may take additional actions to manage risk in the future.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,191.9 million and $836.1 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The higher cash provided by operating activities in 2024, compared with 2023 primarily resulted from lower income tax payments, a higher amount of customer advances received in 2024 as well as the of accounts payable payments.

Free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) was as follows (in millions):


Free Cash Flow (a)	2024		2023
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	1,191.9	$	836.1

Less: Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment	(83.7)		(114.9)




Free cash flow	$	1,108.2	$	721.2

(a) We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities (a measure prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles “GAAP”) less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. We believe that this supplemental non-GAAP information is useful to assist management and the investment community in analyzing the company’s ability to generate cash flow.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $207.2 million and $190.3 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. Investing activities used cash for acquisitions and other investments of $123.7 million and $77.7 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively (see “Recent Acquisitions”). We funded the acquisitions from cash on hand.

Cash flows relating to investing activities for capital expenditures.

Total	$	83.7	$	114.9

During 2025, we plan to invest approximately $130 million in capital expenditures, principally to upgrade facilities and manufacturing equipment, and this amount includes estimated post-acquisition capital expenditures relates to 2025 acquisitions described in Note 18.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities reflected net payments from debt of $600.6 million, share repurchases of $354.0 million and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $37.9 million in 2024. Net cash used in financing activities reflected net payments from debt of $678.9 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $45.4 million in 2023.

During 2024, we repaid $450.0 million Fixed Rate Senior Notes due April 2024 and $150.0 million for a term loan due October 2024.

During 2023, we repaid $125.0 million of amounts outstanding on our credit facility, the $300.0 million Fixed Rate Senior Notes due April 2023, and the remaining $245.0 million on our term loan due May 2026. We also repurchased and retired $10.0 million of our Fixed Rate Senior Notes due April 2031, recording a $1.6 million non-cash gain on the extinguishment of this debt.

Other Matters

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

We continually evaluate our global cash needs and have historically asserted that most of our unremitted foreign earnings are permanently reinvested, and we did not generally record deferred taxes on such amounts. During 2022, we determined that we could no longer make the assertion foreign earnings are permanently reinvested, as cash from most foreign subsidiaries may be remitted without incurring additional U.S. federal income tax. As a result, we changed our indefinite reinvestment assertion of unremitted earnings and certain other aspects of outside basis differences on a majority of our foreign subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

We continue to make an indefinite reinvestment assertion on the historic excess of the financial reporting bases over tax bases in our material foreign subsidiaries in Canada. The unremitted earnings of our Canadian foreign subsidiaries held for indefinite reinvestment are used to finance Canadian operations and investments. We estimate that future cash generation from non-Canadian operations will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash requirements. Determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability for unremitted Canadian earnings is not practicable due to uncertainty and overall complexity of the potential calculations. We continue to evaluate its cash needs and may update our assertion in future periods.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amount in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income. Based on the Company’s history of operating earnings, expectations of future operating earnings and potential tax planning strategies, management believes that it is possible that some portion of deferred taxes will not be realized as a future tax benefit and therefore has recorded a valuation allowance.

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. We have substantially concluded income tax matters in the United States through 2016, in Canada through 2012, in Sweden through 2018, in Norway through 2018, in Belgium through 2019, in France through 2019 and in the United Kingdom through 2015.

Costs and Pricing

Inflation exists in certain markets in which we operate. Current inventory costs, the costs of labor, materials, equipment and other costs are considered in establishing sales pricing policies. In addition, we emphasize cost containment and cost reductions in all aspects of our business.

Market Risk Disclosures

Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically evaluate these risks and have taken measures to mitigate these risks. We own assets and operate facilities in countries that have been politically stable.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk through the interest rate on our borrowings under our $1.20 billion credit facility. As of December 29, 2024, no borrowings are outstanding under our credit facility. Future indebtedness incurred under our credit facility will expose us to interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Teledyne transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. Our primary foreign currency risk management objective is to protect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings, primarily achieved through the following:

•We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, and in British pounds for our U.K. companies. These contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

•We 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.

All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. 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. Refer to Notes 2, 14 and 15 for further disclosures around our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

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% price change of the U.S. dollar from its value on December 29, 2024, 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 sell U.S. dollars by approximately $8.7 million.

Environmental

We are subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations which require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. These include sites at which Teledyne has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, and comparable state laws. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites. Reserves for environmental investigation and remediation totaled $6.5 million and $5.4 million as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As investigation and remediation of these sites proceed and new information is received, we will adjust reserves to reflect new information. Based on current information, we do not believe that future environmental costs, in excess of those already accrued, will materially and adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity. See also our environmental risk factor disclosure in Item 1A. Risk Factors as well as additional discussion in Notes 2 and 17.

U. S. Government Contracts

We perform work on a number of contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies and departments of the U.S. Government including sub-contracts with government prime contractors. Sales under these contracts with the U.S. Government, which included contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, were 24.3% and 24.5% of our total net sales in 2024 and 2023, respectively. For a summary of sales to the U.S. Government by segment, see Note 4. Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense represented approximately 19% of total net sales for both 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Performance under government contracts has certain inherent risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations, which usually are made available on a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. See also our government contracts risks factor disclosure in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

For information on accounts receivable from the U.S. Government, see Note 7.

Estimates and Reserves

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns and replacements, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, pension and other postretirement benefits, long-term contracts, environmental, workers’ compensation and general liability, employee benefits and other contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time, the results of which form the basis for making our judgments. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates for further information on key estimates.

Some of our products are subject to standard warranties, and we provide for the estimated cost of product warranties. We regularly assess the adequacy of our pre-existing warranty liabilities and adjust amounts as necessary based on a review of historical 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. See further discussion in Note 7.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are those that are reflective of significant judgment, complexity and uncertainty, and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have identified the following as critical accounting policies: revenue recognition; accounting for business combinations, goodwill and acquired intangible assets; and accounting for income taxes. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2.

Revenue Recognition

Approximately 30% of our revenue was recognized over time, with the remaining 70% recognized at a point in time.

Revenue recognized over time relates primarily to contracts to design, develop and/or manufacture highly engineered products used in both defense and commercial applications. The transaction price in these arrangements may include estimated amounts of variable consideration, including award fees, incentive fees, contract amounts not yet funded, or other provisions that can

Table of Contents

either increase or decrease the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration at the amount to which we expect to be entitled, and we include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the estimation uncertainty is resolved. The estimation of this variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. As control transfers continuously over time on these contracts, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress as this measure best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation.

For over time contracts using the cost-to-cost method, we have an Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. This EAC process requires management judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenue, determining reasonably dependable cost estimates, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Since certain contracts extend over a longer period of time, the impact of revisions in cost and revenue estimates during the progress of work may adjust the current period earnings through a cumulative catch-up basis. This method recognizes, in the current period, the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior quarters. Additionally, if the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the period that it becomes evident. Contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed at least quarterly. We do not believe that any discrete event or adjustment to an individual contract within the aggregate changes in contract estimates for 2024 and 2023 was material to the consolidated statement of income (loss) for such annual periods.

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The results for all acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of each respective acquisition. Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. We determine the fair value of such assets and liabilities, often in consultation with third-party valuation advisors. Acquired intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Adjustments to fair value assessments are recorded to goodwill over the purchase price allocation period.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. We review goodwill and acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We also perform an annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. We test goodwill and acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce our enterprise fair value below its book value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, including a significant sustained decline in an entity’s market value, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors.

We may use either a qualitative or quantitative approach when testing a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. For reporting units where we use the qualitative approach, we perform a qualitative evaluation of events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Based on that qualitative evaluation, if we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further evaluation is necessary. Otherwise, we perform a quantitative impairment test. We perform a quantitative test for each reporting unit at least once every three years.

For goodwill impairment testing using the quantitative approach, we estimate the fair value of the selected reporting units primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow model. We compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. The discounted cash flow model requires judgmental assumptions about projected revenue growth, future operating margins, discount rates and terminal values over a multi-year period, and the discounted cash flow model is based on our best estimate of amounts and timing of future revenues and cash flows using our most recent business and strategic plans. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of its reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are below management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill may be overstated, and an impairment loss might need to be recorded.

Table of Contents

When using a quantitative approach to test goodwill, changes in our projections used in the discounted cash flow model could affect the estimated fair value of certain of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations used in the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we will apply a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit subject to a quantitative impairment test and compare those values to the reporting unit carrying values. Due to the many variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting unit’s fair value and the relative size of our recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the results of our impairment analysis.

As of December 29, 2024, we had ten reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. In the fourth quarter of 2024, a qualitative test was performed for nine of the ten reporting units, and the carrying value of goodwill included in these reporting units ranged from $20.4 million to $952.2 million. The results of our qualitative assessments indicated that no impairment existed in 2024. We bypassed the qualitative test for the FLIR reporting unit and performed a quantitative impairment test. At the assessment date, the FLIR reporting unit had $5,856.5 million of goodwill, and the estimated fair value of the FLIR reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $420 million or 5%. Although the forecasts used in our discounted cash flow model and market approach are based on assumptions that are considered reasonable by management and consistent with the plans and estimates management uses to operate the underlying businesses, there is significant judgment in determining the expected results of the FLIR reporting unit. Changes in forecast estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. The discount rate, which is consistent with a weighted average cost of capital that is likely to be expected by a market participant, is based upon industry required rates of return, including consideration of both debt and equity components of the capital structure. Although no impairment exists for the FLIR reporting unit, a non-cash impairment of goodwill could result from a number of circumstances, including different assumptions used in determining the fair value of the reporting unit, changes to customer spending priorities, or a sharp increase in interest rates without a corresponding increase in future net sales.

As of December 29, 2024, we had $793.1 million of indefinite-lived trademark intangibles which were subject to an annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2024. With the exception of the FLIR indefinite-lived trademark, the estimated fair value of all material indefinite-lived trademarks significantly exceeded their respective carrying value. We recorded a $3.0 million full impairment of an immaterial Marine Instrumentation trademark that we decided to no longer actively market, with the charge recorded within impairment of acquired intangible assets on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

At the annual assessment date, the FLIR indefinite-lived trademark had a carrying value of $685.3 million and a fair value of $635.8 million, or approximately 7% below its carrying value, and we recorded a $49.5 million non-cash impairment charge in fiscal year 2024, which is included within impairment of acquired intangible assets on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

The most significant assumptions utilized in the determination of the fair value of the FLIR indefinite-lived trademark are the net sales growth rates (including residual growth rates), discount rate and royalty rate. Although the FLIR sales forecasts are based on assumptions that are considered reasonable by management and consistent with the plans and estimates management uses to operate the underlying businesses, there is significant judgment in determining the expected results of the FLIR business. Changes in sales forecast estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. The discount rate, which is consistent with a weighted average cost of capital that is likely to be expected by a market participant, is based upon industry required rates of return, including consideration of both debt and equity components of the capital structure. During its fourth quarter annual assessment and as part of finalizing its strategic plan in December 2024, the Company also included an additional 50 basis points of risk premium in the discount rate when considering FLIR’s historical and expected future performance of achieving sales forecast projections. The royalty rate was driven by historical and estimated future profitability of the underlying FLIR business. The royalty rate may be impacted by significant adverse changes in long-term operating margins. Additional future non-cash impairment charges on the FLIR trademark could result from a number of circumstances, including different assumptions used in determining the fair value of the trademark, changes to customer spending priorities, or a sharp increase in interest rates without a corresponding increase in future net sales.

Income Taxes

For a description of the Company’s tax accounting policies, refer to Note 2 and Note 9. We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits, benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. In addition, uncertainty exists regarding tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns still under examination and positions expected to be taken in the current year and future returns which may impact income tax expense. On a quarterly basis, we provide for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate which is dependent on the geographic composition of worldwide earnings, tax regulations governing each region, availability of tax credits, and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies. Although we believe our income tax expense is reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions. To the extent that the final tax outcome is

Table of Contents

different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. An increase of 100 basis points in our nominal tax rate would have resulted in additional income tax provision for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, of $9.4 million.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise due to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax carryforwards. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. When it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of deferred tax assets may not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established against the deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations across domestic and foreign jurisdictions. We establish reserves for uncertain tax positions when, despite the belief that our tax positions are supportable, there remains uncertainty in a tax position taken in our filed tax returns or planned to be taken in a future tax return or claim. We follow a recognition and measurement approach, considering the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. Judgment is exercised in determining the level of evidence necessary and appropriate to support its assessment using all available information. The technical merits of a given tax position are derived from sources of authority in the tax law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the position. In measuring the tax position, we consider the amount and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon settlement. When it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained, we record a liability for the anticipated tax and interest due upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued penalties and interest, increased in 2021 due to the acquisition of FLIR. To the extent we prevail in matters for which reserves have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of reserves, there could be a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and annual results of operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to management’s beliefs about the financial condition, results of operations, acquisitions, capital expenditures and product synergies, integration costs, tax matters and businesses of Teledyne in the future. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, are based on the current expectations of the management of Teledyne and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. All statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Many factors could change anticipated results, including: changes in relevant tax and other laws; foreign currency exchange risks; rising interest rates; risks associated with indebtedness, as well as our ability to reduce indebtedness and the timing thereof; the impact of policies of the new Presidential Administration, especially with respect to new and higher tariffs, cutbacks in the funding of government agencies and programs, and the scaling back of environmental and green energy policies; the impact of semiconductor and other supply chain shortages; higher inflation, including wage competition and higher shipping costs; labor shortages and competition for skilled personnel; the inability to develop and market new competitive products; inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related standards; disruptions in the global economy; the ongoing conflict in Israel and neighboring regions, including related protests, attacks on defense contractors and suppliers and the disruption to global shipping routes; the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including the impact to energy prices and availability, especially in Europe; customer and supplier bankruptcies; changes in demand for products sold to the defense electronics, instrumentation, digital imaging, energy exploration and production, commercial aviation, semiconductor and communications markets; funding, continuation and award of government programs; cuts to defense spending resulting from existing and future deficit reduction measures or changes to U.S. and foreign government spending and budget priorities triggered by inflation, rising interest costs, and economic conditions; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; the continuing review and resolution of FLIR’s trade compliance and tax matters; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cybersecurity threats; risks related to AI; natural and man-made disasters, including those related to or intensified by climate change; and our ability to achieve emission reduction targets and decrease our carbon footprint. Lower oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, and new regulations or restrictions relating to energy production, including those implemented in response to climate change, could further negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. Weakness in the commercial aerospace industry

Table of Contents

negatively affects the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. Lower aircraft production rates at Boeing or Airbus could result in reduced sales of our commercial aerospace products. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the company’s pension assets. Changes in the policies of the United States and foreign governments, including economic sanctions or in regard to support for Ukraine, could result, over time, in reductions or realignment in defense or other government spending and further changes in programs in which the company participates.

While 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 key management and customers and achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses internationally, including those arising from U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fluctuations.

We continue to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we believe our control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained beginning on page 7 of this Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors; Cautionary Statement as to Forward-Looking Statements.” 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. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

RESPONSIBILITY FOR PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts that are based on the best estimates and judgments of management. The other financial information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is consistent with the financial statements.

Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning the reliability of the financial data used in the preparation of Teledyne financial statements, as well as to safeguard the Company’s assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED’S INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2024. In making this evaluation, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Our evaluation included reviewing the documentation of our controls, evaluating the design effectiveness of our controls and testing their operating effectiveness. Based on this evaluation we believe that, as of December 29, 2024, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

Deloitte and Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued its report on the effectiveness of Teledyne’s internal control over financial reporting. Their report appears on page 44 of this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated

Thousand Oaks, California

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 29, 2024, of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Teledyne Technologies Incorporated’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated

Thousand Oaks, California

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill – FLIR Reporting Unit - Refer to Notes 2, 4, and 6 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the respective carrying value. For goodwill impairment testing using the quantitative approach, the Company used a combination of the discounted cash flow approach and the market approach to estimate fair value of the FLIR reporting unit. The Company’s goodwill balance was $7,990.5 million as of December 29, 2024, of which $5,827.1 million was allocated to the FLIR reporting unit. The application of the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to projected revenues and the selected discount rate.

Given the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair value of the FLIR reporting unit and the difference between the FLIR reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions, specifically related to the projected revenues and selected discount rate, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

Table of Contents

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to (1) revenue projections and (2) the selection of the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the goodwill acquired included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the revenue projections and discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the FLIR reporting unit.

•We evaluated the reasonableness of the revenue projections by comparing them to (1) FLIR and third-party historical financial data, (2) current economic factors and analyst reports of the Company and companies in its peer group, (3) industry reports, (4) assumptions used by the Company in its budgeting process, and (5) order backlog.

•We performed a sensitivity analysis by varying projected revenue assumptions.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we performed an analysis comparing applicable industry forecasted long-term revenue growth rate to management’s projected revenues used within the valuation model.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate by developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

Indefinite-Lived Trademarks – Refer to Notes 2, 4, and 6 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s evaluation of indefinite-lived trademarks for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of indefinite-lived trademark to the respective carrying value. For indefinite-lived trademark impairment testing using the quantitative approach, the Company estimated the fair value of its trademarks primarily through the use of a relief from royalty approach based on its best estimate of amounts and timing of projected revenues and compared the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the corresponding trademark. The FLIR indefinite-lived trademark balance was $635.8 million as of December 29, 2024, which is a component of the Company’s acquired intangible assets, net, balance of $2,012.9 million as of December 29, 2024. The application of the relief from royalty method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to projected revenues and the selected discount rate.

Given the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair value of the FLIR indefinite-lived trademark and the difference between the FLIR indefinite-lived trademark’s fair value and carrying value, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions, specifically related to the projected revenues and the selected discount rate, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to (1) revenue projections and (2) the selection of the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived trademarks included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over the revenue projections and discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the FLIR indefinite-lived trademark.

•We performed a sensitivity analysis by varying projected revenue assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 29, 2024

Note 1. Description of Business

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne” or the “Company”) provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research. Teledyne’s products include digital imaging sensors, cameras and systems within the visible, infrared and X-ray spectra, monitoring and control instrumentation for marine and environmental applications, harsh environment interconnects, electronic test and measurement equipment, aircraft information management systems, and defense electronics and satellite communication subsystems. The Company also supply engineered systems for defense, space, environmental and energy applications. The Company believes that its technological capabilities, innovation and ability to invest in the development of new and enhanced products are critical to obtaining and maintaining leadership in the markets and industries in which it competes.

The Company’s businesses are aligned in four segments: Digital Imaging, Instrumentation, Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Engineered Systems.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year convention ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. Fiscal year 2024 was a 52-week fiscal year and ended on December 29, 2024. Fiscal year 2023 was a 52-week fiscal year and ended on December 31, 2023. Fiscal year 2022 was a 52-week fiscal year and ended on January 1, 2023. References to the years 2024, 2023 and 2022 are intended to refer to the respective fiscal year unless otherwise noted.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teledyne and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company now discloses research and development expense on a separate income statement line. Research and development expense was previously included within selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, the Company historically included bid and proposal expense as part of its prior year annual research and development expense disclosures. The Company has not reclassified bid and proposal expense, which remains within selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company also now discloses impairment of acquired intangible assets on a separate income statement line item. Impairment of acquired intangible assets was previously included within selling, general and administrative expense.

Business Acquisitions

Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s foreign entities’ accounts are generally measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these entities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end. Revenues and expenses are translated at average month end rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Unrealized translation gains and losses arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, asset valuations, income taxes, warranty obligations, pension and other postretirement benefits, long-term contracts, environmental, workers’ compensation and general liability, employee benefits and other contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time, the results of which form the basis for making its judgments. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes that the estimates used are reasonable.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid money-market mutual funds with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities). Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s over time contracts, the customer pays the Company either performance-based payments or progress payments. Amounts billed and due from the Company’s customers are classified as receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may receive interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The Company recognizes a liability for these interim and advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as a contract liability. Contract liabilities typically are not considered a significant financing component because these cash advances are used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract, and these cash advances protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. When revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, the Company records an unbilled receivable (contract asset) for the amount entitled to be received based on an enforceable right to payment.

The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and contract assets based on a combination of factors, and judgment is required in the estimation process. If the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the net receivable to the amount reasonably believed to be collectible from the customer. For all other customers, the Company uses an aging schedule and recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of the debtor, the age and status of outstanding receivables, the current business environment and historical collection experience adjusted for current expectations for the customers or industry. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when the Company determines amounts are no longer collectible. Trade credit is extended based upon evaluations of each customer’s ability to perform its obligations, which are updated periodically.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and primarily valued on an average cost or first-in, first-out method. Inventory adjustments are recorded when inventory is considered to be excess or obsolete based upon an analysis of actual on-hand quantities on a part-level basis to forecasted product demand and historical usage.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are determined using a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated over periods not exceeding 45 years, equipment over 5 to 18 years, computer hardware and software over 3 to 7 years and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the estimated remaining lives or lease terms. Significant improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment was $111.3 million in 2024, $119.1 million in 2023 and $129.8 million in 2022.

Goodwill, Acquired Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but tested at least annually for impairment. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each year, or more often as circumstances require. The Company uses qualitative and quantitative approaches when testing goodwill for impairment. For selected reporting units under the qualitative approach, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation of events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Based on that qualitative evaluation, if the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further evaluation is necessary. Otherwise, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. A quantitative impairment test, if applicable, is used to identify potential goodwill impairment and then measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. The Company performs quantitative tests for reporting units at least once every three years. However, for certain reporting units the Company may perform a quantitative impairment test more frequently. The Company performed a quantitative impairment test for FLIR and qualitative impairment tests for all other reporting units in 2024.

Table of Contents

The Company reviews intangible and other long-lived assets subject to depreciation or amortization for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Acquired intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and reflected in the segment’s operating income over their estimated useful lives. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of assets held for use based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses, where identified, are determined as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset, and reflected in selling, general and administrative expense or impairment of acquired intangible assets at the respective business segment.

Pension and Postretirement Costs

The Company’s accounting for its defined benefit pension plans requires that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis, rather than as contributions are made to the plan. In consultation with actuaries, the Company determines the appropriate assumptions for use in determining the liability for future pension benefits. Net actuarial gains or losses are amortized to expense on a plan-by-plan basis when they exceed the accounting corridor. The accounting corridor is a defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required and is equal to 10% of the greater of the market-related value of assets or benefit obligations. Gains or losses outside of the corridor are subject to amortization.

Product Warranties

Some of the Company’s products are subject to standard warranties, and the Company reserves for the estimated cost of product warranties on a product-specific basis. Facts and circumstances related to a product warranty matter and cost estimates to return, repair and/or replace the product are considered when establishing a product warranty reserve. The adequacy of preexisting warranty reserves is assessed regularly, and the reserve is adjusted as necessary based on a review of historical warranty experience with respect to the applicable business or products, as well as the length and actual terms of the warranties, which are typically one year. The product warranty reserve is included in current accrued liabilities and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Liabilities

Costs that mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination or extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or efficiency of property utilized in current operations are capitalized. Other costs that relate to current operations or an existing condition caused by past operations are expensed in the period incurred. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which is generally not later than the completion of the feasibility study or the Company’s recommendation of a remedy or commitment to an appropriate plan of action. The accruals are reviewed periodically and, as investigations and remediations proceed, adjustments are made as necessary. Accruals for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation, and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The accruals are not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal Superfund sites or similar state-managed sites and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations, and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the Company’s prior experience in site investigation and remediation, the data concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and regulatory authorities, and the professional judgment of the Company’s environmental personnel in consultation with outside environmental specialists, when necessary.

Revenue Recognition

The Company determines the appropriate method by which it recognizes revenue by analyzing the nature of the products or services being provided as well as the terms and conditions of contracts or arrangements entered into with our customers. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct good or service (i.e., performance obligation) identified in the contract, and each performance obligation is valued based on its estimated relative standalone selling price. For standard products or services, list prices generally represent the standalone selling price. For performance obligations where list price is not available, the Company typically uses the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price for that performance obligation. Approximately 70% of revenue is recognized at a point in time, with the remaining 30% recognized over time.

Revenue recognized at a point in time relates primarily to the sale of standard or minimally customized products, with control transferring to the customer generally upon the transfer of title. This type of revenue arrangement is typical for our commercial contracts within the Digital Imaging, Instrumentation, and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments. In limited circumstances, customer specified acceptance criteria exist. If the Company cannot objectively demonstrate that the product meets those specifications prior to the shipment, the revenue is deferred until customer acceptance is obtained. The transaction price in these arrangements can include variable consideration, such as product returns and sales allowances. The estimation of

Table of Contents

this variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts as a reduction in the transaction price is based largely on an assessment of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company.

Revenue recognized over time relates primarily to contracts to design, develop and/or manufacture highly engineered products used in both defense and commercial applications. This type of revenue arrangement is typical of the Company’s U.S. Government contracts and to a lesser extent for certain commercial contracts, with both contract types occurring across all segments. The customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by a right to payment for costs incurred to date plus a reasonable profit for products or services that do not have an alternative use. As control transfers continuously over time on these contracts, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress as this measure best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The transaction price in these arrangements may include estimated amounts of variable consideration, including award fees, incentive fees, contract amounts not yet funded, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. The Company estimates variable consideration at the amount to which it expects to be entitled, and the Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the estimation uncertainty is resolved. The estimation of this variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

The majority of the Company’s over time contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. Over time contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the contract modifications on the Company’s over time contracts are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.

For over time contracts using the cost-to-cost method, the Company has an Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. This EAC process requires management judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenue, determining reasonably dependable cost estimates, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Since certain contracts extend over a longer period of time, the impact of revisions in cost and revenue estimates during the progress of work may adjust the current period earnings through a cumulative catch-up basis. This method recognizes, in the current period, the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior quarters. Additionally, if the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the period that it becomes evident. Contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The majority of revenue recognized over time uses an EAC process. The net aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method in 2024 and 2023 was approximately $2.5 million of unfavorable operating income and $3.7 million of favorable operating income, respectively. None of the effects of changes in estimates on any individual contract were material to the consolidated statements of income (loss) for any period presented.

While extended or non-customary warranties do not represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenue, the Company recognizes warranty services as a separate performance obligation when it is material to the contract. When extended or non-customary warranties represents a separate performance obligation, the revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the extended warranty period.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with an amortization period greater than one year were not material.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling fees reimbursed by customers are classified as revenue while shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are classified as cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss).

Table of Contents

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense is expensed as incurred.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use assets in non-current other assets, net and the related lease liabilities in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The Company does not have material finance leases or subleases.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and use an implicit rate when readily available. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The rate will take into consideration the underlying asset’s economic environment, including the length of the lease term and currency that the lease is payable in. The Company’s lease agreements may include options to extend or early terminate the lease term at either a fixed cost, fixed increase or market value adjustment. The Company evaluates the likelihood of exercising each renewal option based on many factors, including the length of the renewal option and the future new lease cost, if known, or the estimated future new lease cost if it is not a fixed amount and will include those renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised for purposes of calculating the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Stock Incentive Plans

Teledyne has long-term incentive plans which provide its Board of Directors the flexibility to grant restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights to officers and employees of Teledyne. During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company has granted time-based stock options, time-based restricted stock unit awards, and performance-based restricted stock unit awards. Employee stock options become exercisable in one-third increments on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant and have a maximum 10-year life. Employee time-based restricted stock units vest in one-third increments on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant. Performance-based restricted stock awards granted during 2024, 2023 and 2022 may be earned based upon a time-based component and the performance of the Company’s return to stockholders over a three-year period.

In 2021, the Company discontinued the Performance Share Plan (“PSP”), with an immaterial amount of compensation expense recorded in 2024 and 2023. Teledyne’s PSP provided grants of performance share units, which key officers and executives could earn if Teledyne met specified performance objectives over a three-year period. Awards were payable in cash and to the extent available, shares of Teledyne common stock.

Stock-based Compensation Costs

The Company recognizes compensation expense for its stock-based compensation programs, which include stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The fair value of share-based compensation is determined at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense is generally recorded over the period in which the share-based compensation vests. Since 2019, stock options granted to the Company’s Executive Chairman are expensed immediately, as stock options continue to vest after retirement. The Company issues shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

The fair value of stock options granted through 2022 was determined by using a lattice-based option pricing model, and the Company did not grant stock options in 2023. In recent years, the Company began granting stock options to a smaller group of employees, as the Company began granting restricted stock units to a larger group of employees. In 2024, the Company began using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The adoption of the Black-Scholes option pricing model was driven by a review of option exercise history, which more closely aligned with the methodology of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the adoption of the Black-Scholes option pricing model did not materially change the grant-date fair value calculation. 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 granted. The period used for the historical stock price corresponded to the expected term of the options. 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 Teledyne’s practice of not paying dividends. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips with terms equal to the expected life of the options as of the grant date. The expected life in years is based on historical actual stock option exercise experience.

Treasury Stock

In April 2024, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.25 billion of Teledyne’s common stock. This authorization superseded prior open stock repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors. The newly authorized stock repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or via an accelerated stock repurchase program. Shares could be repurchased in a plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The repurchase program is expected to remain open continuously, and the number of shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors, such as share price, levels of cash available, acquisitions and alternative investment opportunities available immediately or longer-term, and other regulatory, market or economic conditions. The Company currently intends to fund future share repurchases with cash on hand and available borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

Preferred Stock

Authorized preferred stock may be issued with designations, powers and preferences designated by the Board of Directors. There were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding in 2024, 2023 or 2022.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The minority ownership interest in shares of NL Acoustics is classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets due to a put option under which the minority owners may require the Company to purchase the remaining ownership interest, with the put option exercisable beginning in the third quarter of 2025. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value or its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded through retained earnings. Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance during the period were not material.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the Unites States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amount in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As new information becomes available, the assessment of the recognition threshold and the measurement of the associated tax benefit of uncertain tax positions may result in financial statement recognition or derecognition.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed based on net income (loss) attributable to Teledyne. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period is used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. This number of shares is 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 common share.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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 objective is to protect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company’s foreign currency objective is achieved through the following:

•The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, and in British pounds for our U.K. companies. These contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

•The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany receivables and payables.

The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge forward contracts 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 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 (loss), at which time the effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to revenue in our consolidated statements of income (loss).

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, due to missed forecasts.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. The fair value hierarchy comprises three levels. Level 1 relates to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 relates to observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy; for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Related Party Transactions

For all periods presented, the Company had no material related party transactions that required disclosure.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis.

(a) Net of cash acquired

The Company’s cost to acquire these 2024 and 2023 acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. The differences between the fair value of the consideration paid and the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities for the Adimec and Valeport acquisitions is provisional pending finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting, including the measurement of tax basis in certain jurisdictions and the resulting deferred taxes that might arise from book and tax basis differences, if any. Pro forma results of operations, the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition date, and a more detailed breakout of the major classes of assets and liabilities acquired for the 2024 and 2023 acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s financial results. The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill for the 2024 and 2023 acquisitions included the acquired businesses’ market positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which they operate, their experienced work force and established operating infrastructures. The results of these acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of their respective acquisition.

Note 4. Business Segments

Teledyne’s businesses are aligned in four reportable segments: Digital Imaging, Instrumentation, Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Engineered Systems. The Company manages, evaluates and aggregates its operating segments for segment reporting purposes primarily on the basis of product and service type, production process, distribution methods, type of customer, management organization, sales growth potential and long-term profitability. The Company’s Executive Chairman, who has been identified as the CODM, uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources.

The Digital Imaging segment includes high-performance sensors, cameras and systems, within the visible, infrared and X-ray spectra for use in industrial, government and medical applications, as well as MEMS and high-performance, high-reliability semiconductors including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. The Instrumentation segment provides monitoring and control instruments for marine, environmental, industrial and other applications, electronic test and measurement equipment and harsh environment interconnect products. The Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment provides sophisticated electronic components and subsystems and communications products, including defense electronics, harsh environment interconnects, data acquisition and communications equipment for aircraft and components and subsystems for wireless and satellite communications, as well as general aviation batteries. The Engineered Systems segment provides innovative systems engineering and integration, advanced technology application, software development and manufacturing solutions for defense, space, environmental and energy applications.

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

Severance and Facility Consolidation Costs

As part of a continuing effort to reduce costs and improve operating performance, the Company may take and has taken actions to consolidate and relocate certain facilities and reduce headcount across various businesses, reducing its exposure to weaker end markets. For 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $15.6 million of costs, $12.0 million of costs and $0.5 million of benefits, respectively, related to these actions, with the majority of the costs included within selling, general and administrative expense and within the Digital Imaging segment. At December 29, 2024, $2.4 million remains to be paid related to actions taken in 2024. In 2022, the Company, recorded a net benefit of $0.5 million, which related to $3.5 million of costs related to headcount or facility consolidation costs, offset by $4.0 million of income related to the favorable resolution of a facility consolidation charge within the Digital Imaging segment.

Note 5. Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by customer type and geographic region for each of our segments, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. With the exception of the Engineered Systems segment, net sales in each of our segments is primarily derived from fixed-price contracts. Net sales in the Engineered Systems segment are typically between 45% and 55% fixed-price contracts in a given reporting period, with the balance of net sales related to cost-reimbursable type contracts. For 2024, 2023 and 2022, approximately 50%, 49%, and 49% of net sales in the Engineered Systems segment was derived from fixed-price contracts.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed as of the period end date and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity). As of December 29, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,700.5 million. The Company expects approximately 77% of remaining performance obligations to be recognized into revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining 23% recognized thereafter.

Table of Contents

The unbilled receivable balance increased from the beginning of the year by $9.7 million, or 3.2% , primarily due to recognizing revenue ahead of achieving billing milestones on certain contracts within the Aerospace and Defense Electronics and Digital Imaging segments. Contract liabilities increased from the beginning of the year by $76.5 million or 28.7%, primarily due to an increase in customer advances in the Digital Imaging segment and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment. The Company recognized revenue of $152.4 million during the year ended December 29, 2024 from contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of year.

Amortizable acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from one to 15 years. Consistent with Teledyne’s growth strategy, the Company seeks to acquire companies in markets characterized by high barriers to entry and that include specialized products not likely to be commoditized. Given our markets and highly engineered nature of our products, the rates of new technology development and customer acquisition and/or attrition are often not volatile. As such, Teledyne believes the value of acquired intangible assets decline in a linear, as opposed to an accelerated fashion, and the Company believes amortization on a straight-line basis is appropriate. The expected future amortization expense for the next five years is as follows (in millions): 2025 - $190.3; 2026 - $187.7; 2027 - $180.6; 2028 - $178.2; 2029 - $139.2.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test on all indefinite-lived trademarks. As a result of our annual impairment tests, $52.5 million of impairment was recorded to 2024. Recorded impairment charges to intangible assets were not material in 2023 or 2022.

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for financial and income tax reporting purposes, and differences between the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred income taxes represent future tax benefits or costs to be recognized when those temporary differences reverse.

The categories of assets and liabilities that have resulted in differences in the timing of the recognition of income and expense were as follows (in millions):



Deferred income tax assets:	2024		2023
Long-term:
Accrued liabilities	$	33.9	$	29.5

Total deferred income tax liabilities	651.2		709.0

Net deferred income tax liabilities	$	342.3	$	402.9

The Company is not permanently reinvested with respect to unremitted earnings of most of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company is subject to U.S. income tax on substantially all of these foreign earnings, while any remaining foreign earnings are eligible for potential U.S. tax deductions. As of December 29, 2024, the incremental tax cost to repatriate these earnings was not material.

Table of Contents

The Company continues to make an indefinite reinvestment assertion on the unrepatriated prior year earnings of its material subsidiaries in Canada. Those unremitted earnings were used to finance Canadian operations and investments. The Company estimates that future cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash requirements. The unrecognized deferred tax liability for the historical unremitted Canadian earnings is estimated between at $23.0 million to $26.0 million of potential tax.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including recent financial performance, scheduled reversals of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, availability of taxable income in carryback periods and tax planning strategies. Based on a review of such information, management believes that it is possible that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized as a future benefit and therefore has recorded a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $2.0 million in 2024.

At December 29, 2024, the Company had approximately $21.7 million of net operating loss carryforward from the Company’s foreign entities including Denmark and The Netherlands, of which $13.1 million have no expiration dates and $8.6 million have expiration dates ranging from 2025 to 2044. The Company had Canadian capital loss carryforward in the amount of $3.3 million which has no expiration date. In addition, the Company had domestic federal and state net operating loss carryforward of $15.3 million and $192.6 million, respectively. Generally, federal net operating loss carryforward amounts are limited in their use by earnings of certain acquired subsidiaries. Of the $15.3 million federal net operating loss carryforward, $14.5 million have no expiration dates and $0.8 million have expiration dates ranging from 2025 to 2036.

Note 10. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits

Pension Plans

Teledyne has two domestic qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees hired before January 1, 2004. As of January 1, 2004, new Teledyne hires participate in a defined contribution plan only. The Company also has several small domestic non-qualified and foreign-based defined benefit pension plans. The measurement date for the Company’s pension plans is December 31.

The Company’s U.S. domestic qualified pension plans purchased group annuity contracts from insurance companies and paid a total annuity premium of $17.8 million in 2024. These annuity contracts transfer the obligation to the insurance companies to guarantee the full payment of all annuity payments to existing retired pension plan participants or their surviving beneficiaries. These annuity contracts assume all investment risk associated with the assets that were delivered as the annuity contract premiums. These annuity contracts covered 331 existing retired pension plan participants at the time of purchase. The Company did not have similar purchases in 2023.

The domestic qualified pension plans allow participants to elect a lump-sum payment at retirement. In 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made lump sum payments of $9.0 million, $17.3 million and $24.8 million, respectively, from the domestic qualified pension plans assets to certain participants in the plan. Each year beginning with 2014, the Society of Actuaries released revised mortality tables, which updated life expectancy assumptions. In consideration of these tables, each year the Company reviews the mortality assumptions used in determining our pension and postretirement obligations.

Obligations and funded status

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is reviewed annually, taking into consideration the Company’s asset allocation, historical returns on the types of assets held, the current economic environment, and prospective expectations. Teledyne determines the discount rate based on a model which matches the timing and amount of expected benefit payments to maturities of high-quality corporate bonds priced as of the pension plan measurement date. The yields on the bonds are used to derive a discount rate for the obligation.

The following assumptions were used to measure the net benefit income or expense within each respective year for the domestic qualified plans and the foreign plans:


Pension Plan Assumptions:	Discount rates	Increase in future compensation levels	Expected long-term rate of return
Domestic plans - 2024	5.40% - 5.45%	2.75%	6.58% - 7.80%
Domestic plans - 2023	5.71% - 5.72%	2.75%	6.58% - 7.80%
Domestic plans - 2022	2.91% - 3.08%	2.75%	6.58% - 7.80%

Foreign plans - 2024	1.30% - 4.50%	1.50% - 3.00%	1.25% - 6.20%

Foreign plans - 2022	0.20% - 1.80%	1.00% - 2.50%	1.00% - 2.70%

Investments

The Company has an active management policy for the pension assets in the qualified domestic pension plans. As of December 29, 2024, the long-term asset allocation target for the domestic plans consists of approximately 45% in equity instruments and approximately 55% in fixed income instruments.

The pension plans’ investments are stated at fair value. Plan investments that are considered a level 1 fair value hierarchy and are valued at quoted market prices in active markets. Plan investments that are considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy and are valued based on observable market data. Plan investments that would be considered a level 3 fair value hierarchy are valued based on management’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

U.S. equities are valued at the closing price reported in an active market on which the individual securities are traded. U.S. equities and non-U.S. equities are also valued at the net asset value provided by the independent administrator or custodian of the commingled fund. The net asset value is based on the value of the underlying equities, which are traded on an active market. Corporate bonds are valued using inputs such as the closing price reported, if traded on an active market, values derived from comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments. Fixed income investments are also valued at the net asset value provided by the independent administrator or custodian of the fund. The net asset value is based on the underlying assets, which are valued using inputs such as the closing price reported, if traded on an active market, values derived from comparable

securities of issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments. Alternative investments are primarily valued at the net asset value as determined by the independent administrator or custodian of the fund. The net asset value is based on the underlying investments, which are valued using inputs such as quoted market prices of identical instruments or values derived from comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments.

Defined Benefit Postretirement Plans

The Company sponsors several postretirement defined benefit plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retirees. Total cost for these plans was less than $1.0 million for each fiscal year 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Deferred Contribution Plans

The Company’s contributions associated with its 401(k) plans were $30.3 million, $31.4 million and $29.7 million, for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has non-qualified executive deferred compensation plans that provide supplemental retirement income benefits for a select group of management. This plan permits eligible employees to make salary and bonus deferrals that are 100% vested. Teledyne has an unsecured obligation to pay in the future the value of the deferred compensation adjusted to reflect the performance, whether positive or negative, of selected investment measurement options chosen by each participant during the deferral period. In addition, the Company has separate deferred compensation plans acquired in connection with the FLIR and ETM acquisitions, and these plans were frozen at the end of fiscal years 2021 and 2022, respectively.

As of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $111.3 million and $102.2 million, respectively, is included in other long-term liabilities related to deferred compensation liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company purchased life insurance policies on certain participants to potentially offset these unsecured obligations. These policies are recorded at their cash surrender value as determined by the insurance carrier. The cash surrender value of these policies was $111.0 million and $101.3 million, as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is primarily included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Employee Time-based Restricted Stock Units

The Company recorded $15.6 million, $14.2 million and $7.8 million in compensation expense related to restricted stock units to employees for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively, which is primarily recorded in the Digital Imaging segment. At December 29, 2024, there was $28.1 million of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. This amount can be impacted by employee retirements or terminations.

Employee Performance-based Restricted Stock Awards

Under Teledyne’s restricted stock award program key officers and executives receive a grant of stock equal to a specified percentage of the participant’s annual base salary at the date of grant. The restricted stock is subject to transfer and forfeiture restrictions during an applicable “restricted period”. The restrictions have both time-based and performance-based components. The restricted period expires (and the restrictions lapse) on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of stated performance objectives over a specified three-year performance period. If employment is terminated (other than by death, retirement or disability) during the restricted period, the stock grant is forfeited.

The estimated expense for restricted stock awards with both time-based and performance-based components to employees is based on a lattice-based simulation which takes into consideration several factors including volatility, risk free interest rates and the correlation of Teledyne’s stock price with the comparator, which has been the S&P 500 Index for awards granted since 2021. The Company recorded $6.6 million, $5.2 million and $5.1 million in compensation expense related to restricted stock awards to employees for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At December 29, 2024, there was $6.8 million of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years.

Non-Employee Directors Restricted Stock

Non-employee directors each received restricted stock units valued at $170,000 in 2024, 2023 and 2022 or valued at half the amount for a person who becomes a director for the first time after the date of the Annual Meeting. The restricted stock units generally vest one year following the date of grant and are settled in shares of common stock on the date of vesting unless a director has elected to defer settlement of the award until his or her separation from Board service. The annual expense related to non-employee director’s restricted stock units was $1.7 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, with an immaterial amount of unrecognized compensation cost that will be recognized over the first half of 2025.

Note 14. Derivative Instruments

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to minimize foreign currency risk, primarily to Canadian dollars and British pounds. As of December 29, 2024, foreign currency forward contracts in Canadian dollars designated as cash flow hedges have maturities ranging from March 2025 to February 2026. There were no open contracts forward currency forward contracts in British pounds designated as cash flow hedges as of December 29, 2024.

We converted a U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate obligation of a European subsidiary, into a euro fixed rate obligation using a receive float, pay fixed cross currency swap. This cross-currency swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and matured in October 2024.

In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes to mitigate foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany receivables and payables. 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.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of notional amounts outstanding under foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swap agreements and their respective fair value amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets (in millions):


	December 29, 2024				December 31, 2023

Total derivatives not designated as hedging instruments			$	(12.9)			$	11.0
Total derivatives			$	(15.9)			$	(4.1)

All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for income 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.

The following is a summary of the gain (loss) included in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) related to the derivative instruments described above (in millions):


	2024		2023
Net gain (loss) recognized in AOCI - foreign exchange contracts (a)	$	(8.2)	$	19.3

Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into revenue/cost of sales - foreign exchange contracts	$	1.1	$	(6.2)

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

Net deferred losses recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for forward contracts that will mature in the next 12 months total $2.2 million. These losses are expected to be offset by anticipated gains in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item.

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are primarily comprised of derivative contracts used to hedge the Company’s foreign currency risk. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.

Table of Contents

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below. All fair values for these derivatives were measured using Level 2 hierarchy information as defined by the accounting policies (in millions):


	December 29, 2024		December 31, 2023
Assets:
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	1.0	$	20.3
Cross-currency swaps	—		0.1
Total assets recorded at fair value	$	1.0	$	20.4
Liabilities:
Foreign currency forward contracts	(16.9)		(3.2)
Cross-currency swaps	—		(21.3)
Total liabilities recorded at fair value	$	(16.9)	$	(24.5)
Net derivatives at fair value	$	(15.9)	$	(4.1)

Gross derivative assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements, for which we have not elected to present net amounts on the consolidated balance sheets. The effect of such right of setoff on the Company’s financial position were $0.2 million and $0.6 million, as of December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

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 and is valued based on observable market data. As of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair values of our borrowings were $2,395.0 million and $2,965.3 million, respectively, and the carrying values were $2,666.2 million and $3,266.0 million, respectively.

The cost, if any, to terminate off-balance sheet financial instruments (primarily letters of credit) is not significant.

Note 16. Leases

Operating Leases

Teledyne has more than 150 long-term operating lease agreements for manufacturing facilities and office space. These agreements frequently include one or more renewal options and may require the Company to pay for non-lease components such as utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance expense. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component when the payments are fixed. Variable payments included in the lease agreement are expensed as incurred. No lease agreement imposes a restriction on the Company’s ability to engage in financing transactions or enter into further lease agreements. At December 29, 2024, Teledyne has right-of-use assets of $128.6 million included in non-current other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

At December 29, 2024, future minimum lease payments for operating leases with non-cancelable terms of more than one year were as follows (in millions):


Operating lease commitments:
2025	$	37.6
2026	31.2
2027	26.3
2028	18.9
2029	14.2
Thereafter	31.6
Total minimum lease payments	159.8
Less:
Imputed interest	(20.0)
Current portion (included in current accrued liabilities)	(30.2)
Present value of minimum lease payments, net of current portion (included in other long-term liabilities)	$	109.6

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases is approximately 5.7 years and the weighted average discount rate is approximately 4.25%. Rental expense under operating leases, including leases with a term of 12 months or less, net of immaterial sublease income, was $47.9 million in 2024, $43.9 million in 2023 and $45.1 million in 2022. Variable lease expense was $1.3 million in 2024, $1.6 million in 2023 and $5.9 million in 2022. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $39.5 million for 2024 and $39.5 million for 2023. Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations was $13.8 million for 2024 and $21.7 million for 2023.

Finance Leases and Subleases

The Company’s finance leases and subleases are not material.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Trade Compliance Matters

Teledyne has made voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, including to the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) with respect to Teledyne FLIR shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not authorized due to a potentially incorrect de minimis calculation methodology under section 734.4 and Supplement No. 2 of the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”). Furthermore, Teledyne has made voluntary disclosures to export authorities in jurisdictions outside the United States for certain potential violations of local export laws, which may increase its penalty exposure.

At this time, based on available information, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the time it may take to resolve these matters or the amount or range of potential loss, penalty or other government action, if any, that may be incurred in connection with these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome could result in substantial fines and penalties or loss or suspension of export privileges or of particular authorizations that could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in and following the period in which such an outcome becomes estimable or known.

Environmental Remediation Obligations

The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws.

At December 29, 2024, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.5 million, of which $3.0 million is included in current accrued liabilities and the remainder included in other long-term 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 thirty years.

Other Claims and Legal Matters

The Company is working to resolve a civil investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice relating to an ejection seat sequencer program and deliveries to the U.S. Government between 2006 and 2018. Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) may be asserted against the Company related to its U.S. Government contract work, including claims based on business practices and cost classifications and actions under the False Claims Act. Although such claims are generally resolved by detailed fact-finding and negotiation, on those occasions when they are not so resolved, civil or criminal legal or administrative proceedings may ensue. Depending on the circumstances and the outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts based on the results of investigations. However, although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe there is any audit, review or investigation currently pending against the Company of which management has knowledge that is likely to result in suspension or debarment of the Company, or that is otherwise likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

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, commercial contracts, employment and employee benefits. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
