Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income attributable to Teledyne for the third quarter of 2024 was $241.3 million ($5.10 diluted earnings per share). The third quarter of 2023 included $49.1 million of pretax acquired intangible asset amortization expense, $5.8 million of pretax FLIR integration costs and $1.0 million of FLIR acquisition-related discrete income tax expense.

“Teledyne achieved all-time record orders and sales in the third quarter,” said Robert Mehrabian, Executive Chairman. “Revenue was sequentially greater in each segment, allowing us to report overall year-over-year growth as we expected. We continue to see robust demand in our longer cycle defense, space, and energy businesses. Furthermore, sales for most of our shorter cycle commercial businesses have stabilized or are recovering, and year-over-year comparisons have just begun to ease. We opportunistically repurchased $354 million of stock over the last several months, and we will continue to evaluate share repurchases against acquisitions, for which the pipeline has recently improved.”

Review of Operations

Comparisons are with the third quarter of 2023, unless noted otherwise.

Digital Imaging

The Digital Imaging segment’s third quarter 2024 net sales were $768.4 million, compared with $775.8 million, a decrease of 1.0%. Operating income was $123.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with $136.3 million, a decrease of 9.1%. The third quarter of 2024 included $3.7 million of pretax FLIR integration costs compared with $5.8 million. Acquired intangible amortization expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $46.0 million compared with $45.4 million. Excluding these items, non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2024 was $173.6 million, compared with $187.5 million, a decrease of 7.4%.

The third quarter of 2024 net sales decreased primarily due to lower sales of industrial automation imaging systems and X-ray products, partially offset by higher sales of unmanned air systems, surveillance systems, infrared detectors and commercial infrared imaging systems. The third quarter of 2024 also included $10.8 million of incremental sales from recent acquisitions. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower sales and unfavorable product mix, including lower industrial automation imaging systems sales.

Instrumentation

The Instrumentation segment’s third quarter 2024 net sales were $349.8 million, compared with $329.1 million, an increase of 6.3%. Operating income was $96.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with $85.5 million, an increase of 12.6%.

The third quarter of 2024 net sales increase resulted from a $31.9 million increase in sales of marine instrumentation primarily due to stronger offshore energy and defense markets, partially offset by a $7.2 million decrease in sales of electronic test and measurement instrumentation as well as a $4.0 million decrease in sales of environmental instrumentation. The third quarter of 2024 also included $7.2 million of incremental sales from recent acquisitions. The increase in operating income primarily reflected the impact of higher marine instrumentation sales as well as favorable marine instrumentation product mix and improved marine instrumentation margins.

Aerospace and Defense Electronics

The Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment’s third quarter 2024 net sales were $200.2 million, compared with $183.3 million, an increase of 9.2%. Operating income was $56.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with $49.4 million, an increase of 14.0%.

The third quarter of 2024 net sales reflected higher sales of $12.6 million for defense electronics and $4.3 million for aerospace electronics. The increase in operating income primarily reflected the impact of higher sales and favorable product mix.

Engineered Systems

The third quarter of 2024 net sales reflected higher sales of $10.2 million for engineered products and $0.6 million for energy systems. The higher sales for engineered products primarily reflected increased sales from electronic manufacturing services products. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by higher net sales.
