TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 28, 2014

Note 1. General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, but resultant disclosures are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as they apply to interim reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Teledyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of Teledyne’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Teledyne’s consolidated financial position as of September 28, 2014 and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated comprehensive income for the third quarter and nine months then ended and consolidated cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective December 30, 2013, the Company adopted accounting guidance related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”), a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under the guidance, an entity will be required to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. The Company's adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining its implementation approach and assessing the impact on the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Note 3. Business Combinations and Investments, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
On August 18, 2014, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired assets of Atlas Hydrographic GmbH (Atlas) for $5.2 million. On March 31, 2014, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired Photon Machines, Inc. (Photon) for an initial payment of $3.3 million. Teledyne expects to pay an additional $0.7 million in equal installments over the next three years.

On October 22, 2013, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired C.D. Limited (“CDL”) for $21.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired. On August 30, 2013, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired the assets of SD Acquisition, Inc. d/b/a CETAC Technologies (“CETAC”) for $26.4 million and paid a $0.4 million purchase price adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2013. On July 5, 2013, a subsidiary of Teledyne purchased the remaining 49% interest in Nova Research, Inc. (“Nova Sensors”) that it did not already own for $4.9 million. On May 8, 2013, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired Axiom IC B.V. (“Axiom”), for an initial payment of $4.0 million, net of cash acquired, with an additional $1.3 million expected to be paid in equal installments over three years. The first of the three installments was made in May 2014. On March 1, 2013, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired all the outstanding shares of RESON A/S (“RESON”) for $69.7 million, net of cash acquired. Atlas, Photon, CDL, CETAC and RESON are part of the Instrumentation segment and Nova Sensors and Axiom are part of the Digital Imaging segment.

8


Teledyne funded the purchases from borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand. The results of the acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of the respective acquisition.
In the third quarter of 2014, Teledyne announced  an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Bolt Technology Corporation (“Bolt”) for $22.00 per share payable in cash. The aggregate value for the transaction is approximately $171.1 million, excluding transaction costs and taking into account Bolt’s stock options, other liabilities and net cash as of June 30, 2014. Bolt is a developer and manufacturer of marine seismic data acquisition equipment used for offshore oil and natural gas exploration. Bolt is also a developer and manufacturer of remotely operated robotic vehicles systems used for a variety of underwater tasks. The transaction is expected to close in November 2014, subject to customary closing conditions. See also Note 15 regarding the fourth quarter 2014 acquisition of the business and substantially all of the assets of The Oceanscience Group Ltd. (“Oceanscience”).
For a further description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, please refer to Note 3 of our 2013 Form 10-K.
Teledyne’s goodwill was $1,028.0 million at September 28, 2014 and $1,037.8 million at December 29, 2013. The decrease in the balance of goodwill in 2014 resulted from the impact of exchange rate changes, partially offset by the Photon and Atlas acquisitions. Except for the CETAC, Atlas and Oceanscience acquisitions, goodwill resulting from the acquisitions made in fiscal 2014 and 2013 will not be deductible for tax purposes. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $244.5 million at September 28, 2014 and $270.9 million at December 29, 2013. The decrease in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2014 primarily resulted from amortization, partially offset by acquired intangibles for the Photon and Atlas acquisitions. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amounts assigned to certain assets and liabilities, acquired intangible assets and the related impact on goodwill for the Photon and Atlas acquisitions.
Note 4. Derivative Instruments
Teledyne transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary foreign currency risk management objective is to protect the United States dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars. These contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.
Cash Flow Hedging Activities
The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge contracts, excluding time value, is assessed prospectively and retrospectively on a monthly basis using regression analysis, as well as using other timing and probability criteria. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedges and 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, at which time the effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $1.3 million. These gains are expected to be offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item.
In the event that the gains or losses in AOCI are deemed to be ineffective, the ineffective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value, if any, is reclassified to other income and expense. In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur, within the defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI to other income and expense. During the current reporting period, all forecasted transactions occurred and, therefore, there were no such gains or losses reclassified to other income and expense. As of September 28, 2014, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $96.6 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from October 2014 to June 2016.

Non-Designated Hedging Activities
In addition, 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 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. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. As discussed below, the accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013 was as follows (in millions):

Note 5. Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed based on net earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. This number of shares was increased by contingent shares that could be issued under various compensation plans as well as by the dilutive effect of stock options based on the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
In September 2014, the Company entered into a $101.6 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with a financial institution (ASR Counterparty) in a privately negotiated transaction for 1,030,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial price of $98.62 per share. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, in September 2014, the Company advanced $101.6 million to the ASR counterparty and received 927,000 shares of common stock, representing 90% of the estimated shares to be repurchased under the ASR agreement. The Company treated the ASR as a treasury share purchase of common stock in the period the shares were delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The up-front payment was accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in the period the payment was made. The total number of shares of common stock that the Company will repurchase under the ASR will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount. At settlement, the ASR Counterparty may be required to deliver additional shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company or, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of its common stock or make a cash payment to the ASR Counterparty. Final settlement of the ASR agreement is expected to occur in June 2015, although the settlement may be accelerated at the ASR Counterparty’s option. The Company will treat the ASR as a treasury share repurchase of common stock in the period the shares are delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as a forward contract indexed to its own common stock. The ASR meets all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and, therefore, is not accounted for as a derivative instrument.
In the first nine months of 2014, the Company spent $146.6 million, which includes $101.6 million advanced under the ASR to repurchase its common stock. In the first nine months of 2014, the Company repurchased 1,396,290 shares of its common stock at an average price $97.70 per share.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, 6,500 stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they had exercise prices that were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the respective periods. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, no stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in millions, except per share data):

Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Teledyne has long-term incentive plans pursuant to which it has granted non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and performance shares to certain employees. The Company also has non-employee director stock compensation plans, pursuant to which non-qualified stock options and common stock have been issued to its directors.
Stock Incentive Plan
The following disclosures are based on stock options granted to Teledyne’s employees and directors. The Company recorded a total of $3.9 million and $10.1 million in stock option compensation expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, the company recorded a total of $3.0 million and $7.6 million, in stock option compensation expense, respectively. Employee stock option grants are charged to expense evenly over the three year vesting period. Director stock option grants are charged to expense evenly over the one-year vesting period. For 2014, the Company currently expects approximately $14.2 million in stock option compensation expense based on stock options already granted and current assumptions regarding the estimated fair value of stock option grants expected to be issued during the remainder of the year. However, our assessment of the estimated compensation expense will be affected by our stock price, actual stock option grants during the remainder of the year and employee retirements and termination as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables and the related tax impact. These variables include, but are not limited to, the volatility of our stock price and employee stock option exercise behaviors. The Company issues shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.
The Company uses its historical stock price volatility on the Company stock to compute the expected volatility for purposes of valuing stock options issued. The period used for the historical stock price corresponded to the expected term of the options and was seven years, five 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.
The following assumptions will be used in the valuation of stock options granted in 2014 and 2013:
 
2014
 
2013
Expected dividend yield

 

Expected volatility

%
 
31.9

Risk-free interest rate

Based on the assumptions in the table above, the grant date weighted average fair value of stock options granted in 2014 and 2013 was $36.19 and $27.17, respectively.

Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Award Program
For the third and final installment of the 2009 to 2011 Performance Share Plan, 19,742 shares of Teledyne common stock were issued in the first quarter of 2014. Also in the first quarter of 2014, the restriction was removed for 40,257 shares of Teledyne common stock and 3,397 shares were forfeited related to the 2011 to 2013 Restricted Stock Award Program. In the first nine months of 2014, the Company granted 37,688 shares of restricted stock at a weighted average fair value of $88.05 per share.
Note 7. Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents totaled $0.5 million at September 28, 2014 and $0.3 million at December 29, 2013.
Note 8. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, less progress payments. Inventories are valued under the FIFO method, LIFO method and average cost method. Inventories at cost determined on the average cost or the FIFO methods were $239.5 million at September 28, 2014 and $240.2 million at December 29, 2013. The remainder of the inventories using the LIFO method were $96.1 million at September 28, 2014 and $83.4 million at December 29, 2013. Interim LIFO calculations are based on the Company’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs since an actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Because these are subject to many factors beyond the Company’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Inventories consist of the following (in millions):

During 2013, in an effort to reduce ongoing costs and improve operating performance, the Company took actions to consolidate and relocate certain facilities and reduce headcount across various businesses. The actions taken were substantially completed by year end 2013. At September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the Company had $8.8 million and $11.4 million in short-term reserves related to these actions, which includes $5.2 million in short-term environmental reserves at September 28, 2014.
Some of the Company’s products are subject to specified warranties and the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties. The adequacy of the pre-existing warranty liabilities is assessed regularly and the reserve is adjusted as necessary based on a review of historic warranty experience with respect to the applicable business or products, as well as the length and actual terms of the warranties, which are typically one year. The product warranty reserve is included in current and long term accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in millions):

Note 10. Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. However, losses in certain jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions, are treated separately.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter and nine months of 2014 was 19.2% and 24.6%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the third quarter and nine months of 2013 was 0.6% and 18.8%, respectively. The third quarter of 2014 included net tax benefits for discrete items of $6.1 million and the first nine months of 2014 included net tax benefits for discrete items of $8.2 million, compared with net tax benefits for discrete items of $11.6 million and $15.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. The net tax benefits for the first nine months of 2014 included the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions primarily due to the expiration of statute of limitations and a favorable resolution of a tax matter. The net tax benefits for the first nine months of 2013 primarily related to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions including the expiration of statute of limitations, and a favorable resolution of a tax matter. Excluding net discrete tax benefits in all periods, the effective tax rates would have been 28.1% for the third quarter and 28.5% for the first nine months of 2014 and 25.2% for the third quarter of 2013 and 28.3% for the first nine months of 2013.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that expirations of the statutes of limitations could reduce unrecognized tax benefits by $7.5 million, of which $0.6 million would not impact tax expense as it would be offset by the reversal of deferred tax assets.

Available borrowing capacity under the $750.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $634.5 million at September 28, 2014. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at September 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. In September 2014 Teledyne priced $125.0 million senior unsecured notes with an average fixed rate of 2.97%. The senior unsecured notes are expected to be issued in December 2014 and will consist of $30.0 million of 2.61% senior unsecured notes due December 4, 2019, and $95.0 million of 3.09% senior unsecured notes due December 6, 2021.
Teledyne estimates the fair value of its long-term debt based on debt of similar type, rating and maturity and at comparable interest rates. The estimated fair value of Teledyne’s long-term debt at September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, approximated the carrying value.
As September 28, 2014, the Company has $11.1 million in capital leases, of which $1.3 million is current. At December 29, 2013, the Company had $12.3 million in capital leases, of which $1.4 million was current. At September 28, 2014, Teledyne had $17.1 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Note 12. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
For a further description of the Company’s commitments and contingencies, reference is made to Note 15 of the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, included in our 2013 Form 10-K.
At September 28, 2014, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $8.9 million, of which $5.7 million is included in current accrued liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance carriers and from third parties. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to product liability, acquisitions, patent infringement, commercial contracts, environmental, employment and employee benefits matters. 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. 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.
Note 13. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
Teledyne’s pension income was $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with pension expense of $4.3 million and $13.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. The change to pension income in 2014, from pension expense in 2013, primarily reflected the impact of using a 5.4 percent discount rate to determine the benefit obligation for the domestic plan in 2014 compared with a 4.4 percent discount rate used in 2013. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.4 million and $10.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared with $3.6 million and $10.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government. Teledyne did not make any cash pension contributions to its domestic pension plan in the first nine months of 2014, compared with voluntary pretax cash pension contributions totaling $83.0 million to its domestic pension plan in the first nine months of 2013. No cash pension contributions are planned for 2014 for the domestic pension plan.

Third quarter of 2014 compared with the third quarter of 2013
Our third quarter 2014 sales were $601.1 million, compared with sales of $571.6 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 5.2%. Net income attributable to Teledyne was $55.6 million ($1.47 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $46.8 million ($1.23 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 18.8%.  
Sales
The third quarter of 2014, compared with the third quarter of 2013, reflected higher sales in each segment except the Digital Imaging segment. Third quarter 2014 sales included the impact of acquisitions and higher organic sales. Incremental revenue in the third quarter of 2014 from recent acquisitions was $10.2 million. The third quarter of 2014, compared with the third quarter of 2013, reflected higher operating profit in each business segment except the Digital Imaging segment.
Operating Income
Operating income increased to $74.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, from $53.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 40.2%. Operating income reflected lower costs as a result of the cost reduction actions taken in 2013 and the impact of pension income. Operating income in the third quarter of 2014 included $1.2 million in severance and facility consolidation costs, compared with $14.3 million of similar costs in the third quarter of 2013. The incremental operating income included in the results for the third quarter of 2014 from recent acquisitions was $0.4 million which included $0.2 million in additional intangible asset amortization expense.
Pension Income/Expense
The third quarter of 2014 included pension income of $0.3 million, compared with pension expense of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2013. The change to pension income in 2014 from pension expense in 2013, primarily reflected the impact of using a 5.4 percent discount rate to determine the benefit obligation for the domestic plan in 2014 compared with a 4.4 percent discount rate used in 2013. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2013. Pension expense determined allowable under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased by $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with the third quarter of 2013, which primarily reflected the impact of higher sales, partially offset by pension income in 2014 compared with pension expense in 2013 and lower severance and facility consolidation and environmental costs. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of 2014 decreased to 62.5% from 64.6% in the third quarter of 2013 and reflected lower costs as a result of the cost reduction actions taken in 2013 and also reflected pension income in 2014 compared with pension expense in 2013 and lower severance and facility consolidation costs.
Certain contracts are accounted for under the percentage of completion (“POC”) method and related contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are generally reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the POC accounting method, in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, were $5.4 million and $5.3 million of favorable operating income and $5.6 million and $5.2 million of unfavorable operating income, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, increased by $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with the third quarter of 2013, and primarily reflected the impact of higher sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2014, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 25.1%, compared with 26.2% in the third quarter of 2013. Corporate expense was $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, we recorded a total of $3.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense. Employee stock option grants are expensed evenly over the three year vesting period.
Interest Expense and Other Income and Expense
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in interest expense primarily reflected the impact of lower outstanding debt levels. Other income and expense was $1.8 million of expense for the third quarter of 2014, compared with expense of $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2013. The 2014 amount included accruals for legal matters of $1.6 million.

Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon estimates of annual income, permanent items, statutory tax rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which we operate except that certain loss jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions, are treated separately. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 was 19.2% compared with 0.6% for the third quarter of 2013.
The third quarter of 2014 reflected $6.1 million in net discrete tax benefits which included the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions including the expiration of statute of limitations and a favorable resolution of a tax matter. The third quarter of 2013 reflected $11.6 million in net discrete tax benefits primarily related to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions including expiration of statute of limitations and a favorable resolution of a tax matter. Excluding the net discrete tax benefits in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 28.1% and 25.2% for the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal year 2014 is expected to be 28.5%, based on the projected mix of earnings before tax by jurisdiction, excluding the impact of any matters that would be treated as discrete. The increase in the effective tax rates, excluding discrete items, primarily reflected a change in the proportion of domestic and foreign income.
First nine months of 2014 compared with the first nine months of 2013
Teledyne’s first nine months of 2014 sales were $1,771.7 million, compared with sales of $1,742.0 million for the same period of 2013, an increase of 1.7%. Net income attributable to Teledyne was $157.5 million ($4.13 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2014, compared with $130.1 million ($3.42 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of 21.1%. 
Sales
The first nine months of 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, reflected higher sales in the Instrumentation segment, partially offset by lower sales in the Aerospace and Defense Electronics, Digital Imaging and the Engineered Systems segments. Incremental revenue in the first nine months of 2014 from recent acquisitions was $40.1 million.
Operating Income
Operating income increased to $214.6 million for the first nine months of 2014, from $176.8 million for the same period of 2013, and reflected improved results in each business segment, despite lower sales in three business segments. Operating income reflected lower costs as a result of the cost reduction actions taken in 2013 and the impact of pension income, as well as lower severance and facility consolidation and environmental costs. Operating income in the first nine months of 2014 included $2.0 million in severance and facility consolidation costs, compared with $18.7 million of similar costs in the first nine month of 2013. The incremental operating income included in the results for the first nine months of 2014 from recent acquisitions was $2.9 million which included $1.0 million in additional intangible asset amortization.
Pension Income/Expense
The first nine months of 2014 included pension income of $1.0 million, compared with pension expense of $13.0 million in the first nine months of 2013. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $10.3 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $10.8 million in the first nine months of 2013. The change to pension income in 2014 from pension expense in 2013 primarily reflected the impact of using a 5.4 percent discount rate to determine the benefit obligation for the domestic plan in 2014 compared with a 4.4 percent discount rate used in 2013.
Cost of Sales

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $199.6 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $105.6 million for the first nine months of 2013. The higher cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2014 reflected higher net income, the absence of pension contributions in 2014, while in the first nine months of 2013 we made a voluntary $83.0 million pre-tax cash contribution to the domestic pension plan, partially offset by higher income tax payments. No cash pension contributions are planned for 2014 for the domestic pension plan. The 2014 amount also reflected the receipt of $10.0 million related to a legal settlement.
Our net cash used by investing activities was $37.6 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with net cash used by investing activities of $160.2 million for the first nine months of 2013. The 2014 amount includes $8.1 million for acquisitions. The 2013 amount includes $106.4 million for acquisitions. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 were $29.7 million and $54.0 million, respectively.
On August 18, 2014, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired the assets of Atlas for $5.2 million. On March 31, 2014, a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired Photon for an initial payment of $3.3 million. Teledyne expects to pay an additional $0.7 million in equal installments over the next three years.
Our goodwill was $1,028.0 million at September 28, 2014 and $1,037.8 million at December 29, 2013. The decrease in the balance of goodwill in 2014 resulted from the impact of exchange rate changes, partially offset by the Photon and Atlas acquisitions. Except for the CETAC, Atlas and Oceanscience acquisitions, goodwill resulting from the acquisitions made in fiscal 2014 and 2013 will not be deductible for tax purposes. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $244.5 million at September 28, 2014 and $270.9 million at December 29, 2013. The decrease in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2014 primarily resulted from amortization, partially offset by acquired intangibles for the Photon and Atlas acquisitions. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amounts assigned to certain assets and liabilities, acquired intangible assets and the related impact on goodwill for the Photon and Atlas acquisitions.
In the third quarter of 2014, Teledyne announced  an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Bolt for $22.00 per share payable in cash. The aggregate value for the transaction is approximately $171.1 million, excluding transaction costs and taking into account Bolt’s stock options, other liabilities and net cash as of June, 2014. The transaction is expected to close in November 2014, subject to customary closing conditions. On October 23, 2014 a subsidiary of Teledyne acquired the business and substantially all of the assets of Oceanscience for $15.0 million.
Financing activities used cash of $102.2 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $97.5 million for the first nine months of 2013. Financing activities for the first nine months of 2014 reflected the net borrowings of $26.3 million while the first nine months of 2013 included net borrowings of $84.0 million. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $14.2 million and $10.0 million for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. In September 2014, the Company entered into a $101.6 million accelerated share repurchase agreement with a financial institution and repurchased 927,000 shares of its common stock under this agreement, which used $91.4 million of the $101.6 million advanced. In the first nine months of 2014, the Company spent $146.6 million, which includes $101.6 million advanced under the accelerated share repurchase agreement, to repurchase its common stock. In the first nine months of 2014, the Company repurchased 1,396,290 shares of its common stock at an average price $97.70 per share.
Working capital decreased slightly to $375.9 million at September 28, 2014, compared with $381.0 million at December 29, 2013, and reflected an increase in current maturities of long term debt of $81.6 million, partially offset by higher cash balances.
Our principal cash and capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, income tax payments, pension contributions, debt service requirements and the stock repurchase program, as well as pending acquisitions. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements over the next twelve months. We may need to raise additional capital to support acquisitions. We currently expect to spend up to $50.0 million for capital expenditures in 2014, of which $29.7 million has been spent in the first nine months of 2014.
Total debt at September 28, 2014 was $577.8 million, which includes $100.0 million outstanding under the $750.0 million credit facility. At September 28, 2014, Teledyne had $17.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. Available borrowing capacity under the $750.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $634.5 million at September 28, 2014. The credit agreements require the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at September 28, 2014 the Company was in compliance with these covenants. In September 2014, Teledyne priced $125.0 million senior unsecured notes with an average fixed rate of 2.97%. The senior unsecured notes are expected to be issued in December 2014 and will consist of $30.0 million of 2.61% senior unsecured notes due December 4, 2019, and $95.0 million of 3.09% senior unsecured notes due December 6, 2021.

Our liquidity is not dependent upon the use of off-balance sheet financial arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements that incorporate the use of special purpose entities or unconsolidated entities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting policies are the following: revenue recognition; accounting for pension plans; accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other long-lived assets; and accounting for income taxes.
For additional discussion of the application of the other critical accounting policies and other accounting policies, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Teledyne’s 2013 Form 10-K.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining its implementation approach and assessing the impact on the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
From time to time we make, and this report contains, forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, acquisitions, product sales, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, interest expense, severance, facility consolidation and environmental remediation costs, taxes, and strategic plans. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “believes” or “expect”, that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking.
Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors could change the anticipated results, including: disruptions in the global economy; changes in demand for products sold to the defense electronics, instrumentation, digital imaging, energy exploration and production, commercial aviation, semiconductor and communications markets; funding, continuation and award of government programs; and cuts to defense spending resulting from future deficit reduction measures, including potential automatic cuts to defense spending that may be triggered by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. Lower oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, and new regulations or restrictions relating to energy production, including with respect to hydraulic fracturing, could negatively affect the Company’s businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. 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 and 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 customers and achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses internationally, including those arising from U.S. and foreign policy changes and exchange rate fluctuations.
While we believe our internal and disclosure control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Readers are urged to read our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete description of our Company, its businesses, its strategies and the various risks that we face. Various risks are identified in Teledyne’s 2013 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q.
We assume no duty to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” included in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. Foreign currency forward contracts are used primarily to hedge anticipated exposures. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate portions of our foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. A hypothetical 10 percent price change in the U.S. dollar from its value at September 28, 2014 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 to sell U.S. dollars by approximately $9.7 million. For additional information please see Derivative Instruments discussed in Note 4 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Exposure
We are exposed to market risk through the interest rate on our borrowings under our $750.0 million credit facility and our $200.0 million in term loans. Borrowings under our credit facility and our term loans are at variable rates which are, at our option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable rate or a base rate as defined in our credit agreement. Eurocurrency rate loans may be denominated in U.S. dollars or an alternative currency as defined in the agreement. Eurocurrency or LIBOR based loans under the facility typically have terms of one, two, three or six months and the interest rate for each such loan is subject to change if the loan is continued or converted following the applicable maturity date. The Company has not drawn any loans with a term longer than three months under the credit facility. Base rate loans have interest rates that primarily fluctuate with changes in the prime rate. Interest rates are also subject to change based on our consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. As of September 28, 2014, we had $300.0 million in outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and term loans. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $3.0 million, assuming the $300.0 million in debt was outstanding for the full year.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 28, 2014, are effective.
In connection with our evaluation during the quarterly period ended September 28, 2014, we have made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. There also were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified for which corrective action needed to be taken.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K in response to Item 1A to Part 1 of Form 10-K. See also Part I Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, for updated disclosures about interest rate exposure.
Item 2.
Unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds
In October 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to this prior authorization, in September 2014, the Company entered into a $101.6 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with a financial institution (ASR Counterparty) in a privately negotiated transaction for 1,030,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial price of $98.62 per share. Pursuant to the ASR agreement the Company advanced $101.6 million to the ASR Counterparty and received 927,000 shares of common stock, representing 90% of the estimated shares to be repurchased under the ASR. The total number of shares of common stock that the Company will repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount. At settlement, the ASR Counterparty may be required to deliver additional shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company or, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of its common stock or make a cash payment to the ASR Counterparty. Final settlement of the ASR is expected to occur in June 2015, although the settlement may be accelerated at the ASR Counterparty’s option. In September 2014, the Company repurchased 927,000 shares of its common stock under the ASR, which used $91.4 million of the $101.6 million advanced. The following table sets forth the shares repurchased during each fiscal month during the third quarter of 2014:
