Teledyne today reported first quarter 2022 net sales of $1,321.0 million, compared with net sales of $805.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 64.0%. Net income was $212.6 million ($4.46 diluted earnings per share) for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $84.7 million ($2.23 diluted earnings per share) for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 151.0%. The first quarter of 2022 net sales included $452.6 million in incremental net sales from the acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR”). The first quarter of 2022 also reflected net discrete income tax benefits of $56.5 million compared with net discrete income tax benefits of $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. The first quarter 2022 amount included $50.0 million of net discrete income tax benefits primarily related to the resolution of certain FLIR tax reserves. In connection with the FLIR acquisition, in the first quarter of 2022, Teledyne incurred pretax acquired intangible asset amortization expense of $44.1 million. The first quarter of 2022 also included $9.5 million of pretax acquired intangible asset amortization expense for transactions completed in prior periods. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $203.9 million ($4.27 per share). In the first quarter of 2021, in connection with the then pending acquisition of FLIR, Teledyne incurred pretax charges of $36.5 million which included $30.6 million in interest and debt expense related to financing for the pending acquisition and $5.9 million in corporate expense for related transaction costs. The first quarter of 2021 also included $9.8 million of pretax acquired intangible asset amortization expense for transactions completed in prior periods. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $121.3 million ($3.19 per share). Operating margin was 16.9% for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 16.8% for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding acquisition-related transaction and purchase accounting expenses, non-GAAP operating margin for the first quarter of 2022 was 21.0%, compared with 18.7% for the first quarter of 2021.

“We began 2022 with the greatest first quarter sales, earnings and adjusted operating margin in the company’s history,” said Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results and operational execution also reflected our exceptionally well-balanced business portfolio, across both end markets and geographies. Demand throughout our shorter-cycle instrumentation and imaging businesses remained very robust, resulting in total company organic sales growth of 7.8%. For example, we achieved record orders for electronic test & measurement instrumentation and industrial imaging sensors and systems, even in a typically weaker first quarter. However, with such demand, supply chain constraints remained intense and impacted working capital and cash flow. Sales from our longer-cycle commercial aerospace and marine businesses increased considerably from last year and backlog also grew. Finally, after consuming backlog over the last six months in several of our U.S. Government focused businesses, we have seen a recent increase in bookings and future opportunities.”

Review of Operations

Comparisons are with the first quarter of 2021, unless noted otherwise.

Digital Imaging

The Digital Imaging segment’s first quarter 2022 net sales were $750.5 million, compared with $263.3 million, an increase of 185.0%. Operating income was $115.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $52.0 million, an increase of 122.5%.

The first quarter 2022 net sales increase included $452.6 million of incremental net sales from the FLIR acquisition as well as strong organic sales growth from industrial sensors and cameras, X-ray products and micro-electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”). The increase in operating income in the first quarter of 2022 reflected the contribution from the FLIR acquisition, partially offset by $44.1 million in acquired intangible asset amortization expense for FLIR. The increase in operating income also reflected the impact of organic sales growth, as well as margin improvement.

Instrumentation

The Instrumentation segment’s first quarter 2022 net sales were $308.9 million, compared with $286.5 million, an increase of 7.8%. Operating income was $71.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $59.4 million, an increase of 20.5%.

The first quarter 2022 net sales increase resulted from higher sales of test and measurement instrumentation and marine instrumentation, partially offset by flat sales of environmental instrumentation. Sales of test and measurement instrumentation and marine instrumentation increased $13.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Sales of environmental instrumentation were slightly lower by $0.8 million. The increase in operating income primarily reflected the impact of higher sales, as well as margin improvement.

Aerospace and Defense Electronics

The Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment’s first quarter 2022 net sales were $166.2 million, compared with $151.2 million, an increase of 9.9%. Operating income was $42.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $28.3 million, an increase of 51.6%.

The first quarter 2022 net sales reflected higher sales of $13.8 million for aerospace electronics and $1.2 million for defense electronics. Operating income in the first quarter of 2022 reflected the impact of higher sales and favorable product mix.

Engineered Systems

The Engineered Systems segment’s first quarter 2022 net sales were $95.4 million, compared with $104.7 million, a decrease of 8.9%. Operating income was $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $14.9 million, a decrease of 36.9%.

The first quarter 2022 net sales reflected lower sales of $4.3 million for engineered products and lower sales of $5.2 million for turbine engines, partially offset by higher sales of $0.2 million for energy systems. The lower sales for engineered products primarily reflected decreased sales from electronic manufacturing services products and space programs, partially offset by higher sales from marine and other manufacturing programs. Teledyne exited the cruise missile turbine engine business in the first quarter of 2021. Operating income in the first quarter of 2022 reflected the impact of lower sales, including no sales of higher margin turbine engines.

Outlook

Based on its current outlook, the company’s management believes that second quarter 2022 GAAP diluted earnings per common share will be in the range of $3.44 to $3.55 and full year 2022 GAAP diluted earnings per common share will be in the range of $15.34 to $15.66. The company’s management further believes that second quarter 2022 non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share will be in the range of $4.32 to $4.40 and full year 2022 non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share will be in the range of $17.75 to $18.00. The non-GAAP outlook excludes acquired intangible asset amortization for all acquisitions and benefits or charges for acquisition-related tax matters. The company’s annual expected tax rate for 2022 is 23.1%, before discrete tax items.

Forward-Looking Statements Cautionary Notice

This earnings release 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 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.

The forward-looking statements contained herein may include statements relating to stock option compensation expense, and about the expected effects on Teledyne of the acquisition of FLIR and synergies related to the transaction, anticipated capital expenditures and product developments, and other strategic options. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “projects”, “intends”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “targets”, “estimates”, “will” and words of similar import that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in this communication that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking. By its nature, forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance or results and involves risks and uncertainties because it relates to events and depends on circumstances that will occur in the future.

Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors could change anticipated results, including ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID pandemic for businesses and governments around the world, including production, supply, contractual and other disruptions, such as the COVID related lockdowns in China, facility closures, furloughs and travel restrictions; the inability to achieve operating synergies with respect to the FLIR acquisition; changes in relevant tax and other laws; risks associated with indebtedness, as well as our ability to reduce indebtedness and the timing thereof; the impact of semiconductor and other supply chain shortages, higher inflation, including wage competition and higher shipping costs, and 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; operating results of FLIR being lower than anticipated; disruptions in the global economy; 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 the COVID pandemic; impacts from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies of the U.S. Presidential Administration; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; the continuing review and resolution of FLIR’s export and tax matters; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States; the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cybersecurity threats; and 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 negatively affects the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the company’s pension assets. Changes in the policies of U.S. and foreign governments, including economic sanctions, could result, over time, in reductions or realignment in defense or other government spending and further changes in programs in which the company participates.

Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in Teledyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022, which is on file with the SEC and available in the “Investors” section of Teledyne’s website, teledyne.com, under the heading “Investor Information” and in other documents Teledyne files with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Teledyne assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.
