Annual Report


Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is a leading provider of sophisticated electronic components and subsystems, instrumentation and communications products, including defense electronics, monitoring and control instrumentation for marine, environmental and industrial applications, harsh environment interconnect products, data acquisition and communications equipment for air transport and business aircraft, and components and subsystems for wireless and satellite communications. We also provide engineered systems and information technology services for defense, space and environmental applications, manufacture general aviation engines and components, and supply energy generation, energy storage and small propulsion products.

We serve niche market segments where performance, precision and reliability are critical. Our customers include government agencies, aerospace prime contractors, energy exploration and production companies, major industrial companies, and airlines and general aviation companies.

Strategy

Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our core markets of instrumentation, defense electronics and government engineered systems. Our core markets are characterized by high barriers to entry and include specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. We intend to strengthen and expand our core businesses with targeted acquisitions. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings. At Teledyne, operational excellence includes the rapid integration of the businesses we acquire. Over time, our goal is to create a set of businesses that are truly superior in their niches. We intend to continue to evaluate our product lines to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.

(a) Fiscal year 2008 includes income tax credits of $2.5 million and the reversal of $0.8 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Fiscal year 2007 includes income tax credits of $4.4 million and also reflects the reversal of $1.1 million in income tax contingency reserves which were determined to be no longer needed due to the completion of state tax audits and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.

We reported 2008 sales of $1,893.0 million, compared with sales of $1,622.3 million for 2007, an increase of 16.7%. Net income was $111.3 million ($3.05 per diluted share) for 2008, compared with $98.5 million ($2.72 per diluted share) for 2007, an increase of 13.0%.

The increase in sales in 2008, compared with 2007, reflected improvement in the Electronic and Communications, Engineered Systems and Energy and Power Systems segments. The largest increase in sales was in the Electronic and Communications segment which grew both organically and through strategic acquisitions made in 2008 and in 2007. The incremental increase in revenue in 2008 from businesses acquired since 2006 was $142.9 million (see "Recent Acquisitions" table).

The increase in segment operating profit and other segment income for 2008, compared with 2007, reflected the impact of higher sales. Operating profit and other segment income was higher in each operating segment except the Aerospace Engines and Components segment. The $39.8 million increase in operating profit in the Electronics and Communications segment included incremental operating profit from acquisitions and related synergies of $17.8 million. The Aerospace Engines and Components segment includes the impact of an $18.0 million estimated charge for a voluntary product recall and replacement program.

Cost of sales in total dollars was higher in 2008, compared with 2007, primarily due to higher sales which resulted from organic growth and acquisitions. Fiscal year 2008 included $0.9 million in LIFO expense, compared with $1.3 million in LIFO expense in 2007. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for 2008 was 70.8%, compared with 70.0% for 2007. The higher cost of sales percentage reflects the impact of the estimated $18.0 million voluntary product recall and replacement charge for the Aerospace Engines and Components segment. Of the total $18.0 million charge, $15.8 million was related to the costs associated with the return and replacement of product and $1.4 million was related to the disposal and write-off of inventory which were recorded as cost of sales; $0.8 million was related to estimated customer returns and was recorded as a reduction to sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, in total dollars were higher in 2008 compared with 2007. This $41.0 million increase was primarily due to higher sales which resulted from organic growth and acquisitions and also reflected higher acquired intangible asset amortization of $15.8 million in 2008, compared with $6.4 million in 2007. Corporate administrative expense in 2008 was lower by $3.0 million compared with 2007 and reflected lower employee compensation and relocation expense and lower professional fee expenses. For fiscal year 2008, we recorded a total of $7.5 million in stock option expense, of which $2.5 million was recorded as corporate expense and $5.0 million was recorded in the operating segment results. For fiscal year 2007, we recorded a total of $6.8 million in stock option expense, of which $2.3 million was recorded as corporate expense and $4.5 million was recorded in the operating segment results. Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2008, as a percentage of sales, were 19.3%, compared with 19.9% for 2007, which reflected the impact of higher sales while controlling general and administrative expenses.

Included in operating profit in 2008 was pension expense of $9.6 million, in accordance with the pension accounting requirements of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," ("SFAS No. 87") offset by $9.8 million recoverable in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS") from certain government contracts. Included in operating profit in 2007 was pension expense of $11.9 million, of which $10.2 million was recoverable in accordance with CAS. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government.

The Company's effective tax rate for 2008 was 36.9%, compared with 34.1% for 2007. The effective tax rate for 2008 reflects the impact of expected research and development income tax credits of $2.5 million and also reflects the reversal of $0.8 million in income tax contingency reserves that were determined to be no longer needed due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Excluding these items the effective tax rate for 2008 would have been 38.7%. The effective tax rate for 2007 reflects the impact of expected research and development income tax credits of $4.4 million and also reflects the reversal of $1.1 million in income tax contingency reserves. The reserves were determined to be no longer needed due to the completion of state tax audits and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Excluding these items the effective tax rate for 2007 would have been 37.7%.

Sales under contracts with the U.S. Government were approximately 40% of sales in 2008 and 41% of sales in 2007. Sales to international customers represented approximately 24% of sales in 2008, compared with 22% of sales in 2007.

Total interest expense, including credit facility fees and other bank charges, was $11.7 million in 2008 and $13.1 million in 2007. Interest income was $0.8 million in 2008 and $0.6 million in 2007. The decrease in interest expense in 2008 primarily reflected lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher outstanding debt levels due to acquisitions.

Minority interest reflects the minority ownership interests in Ocean Design, Inc. and Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc. The minority interest ownership percentage in ODI decreased to 14% at year-end 2008 since the initial 51% purchase of ODI in August 2006.

Fiscal years 2008 and 2007 include sublease rental income and royalty income in other income. Other income in 2007 included $0.8 million received for the early return of leased property.
