TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 28, 2015

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 28, 2014 (“2014 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 June 28, 2015 and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated comprehensive income for the three and six months then ended and consolidated cash flows for the six months then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended June 28, 2015 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
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year, but will allow early adoption as of the original adoption date. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. 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 June 5, 2015, Teledyne acquired Industrial Control Machines SA (“ICM”) through a Netherlands-based subsidiary for an initial payment of $21.4 million, net of cash acquired. An additional $2.6 million of the purchase price is subject to an indemnification holdback, all or a portion of which is payable in December 2016. Based in Liège, Belgium, ICM is a leading supplier of portable X-ray generators for non-destructive testing applications, as well as complete X-ray imaging systems for on-site security screening and is part of the Digital Imaging segment.
On April 29, 2015, Teledyne DALSA, Inc. acquired the remaining 49% minority interest in the parent company of Optech Incorporated for $22.0 million in cash. As a result of the purchase, the difference between the cash paid and the balance of noncontrolling interest was recorded to additional paid in capital.
On February 2, 2015, Teledyne acquired Bowtech Products Limited (“Bowtech”) through a U.K.-based subsidiary for $18.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired and including an estimated working capital adjustment. Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, Bowtech designs and manufactures harsh underwater environment vision systems and is part of the Instrumentation segment.
During 2014, Teledyne made four acquisitions, the largest of which was Bolt Technology Corporation (“Bolt”) in November 2014. All of the 2014 acquisitions are part of the Instrumentation segment.
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.
For a further description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, please refer to Note 3 of our 2014 Form 10-K.
Teledyne’s goodwill was $1,165.6 million at June 28, 2015 and $1,150.6 million at December 28, 2014. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2015 resulted from recent acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of exchange rate changes. Goodwill resulting from the Bowtech and ICM acquisitions will not be deductible for tax purposes. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $266.6 million at June 28, 2015 and $277.6 million at December 28, 2014. The decrease in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2015 resulted from amortization and the impact of exchange rate changes, partially offset by acquired intangibles for recent acquisitions. The Company is still in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the ICM, Bowtech and Bolt acquisitions. The Company made preliminary estimates as of June 28, 2015 since there was insufficient time between the acquisition dates and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.

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 losses recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $3.7 million. These losses are expected to be offset by anticipated gains 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 June 28, 2015, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $64.9 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from September 2015 to August 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. As of June 28, 2015, Teledyne had foreign currency contracts of this type in the following pairs (in millions):

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.

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 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. In September 2014, the Company entered into a $101.6 million accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement 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, which used $91.4 million of the $101.6 million advanced, representing 90% of the estimated shares to be repurchased under the ASR agreement.  In May 2015 the ASR agreement was settled and Teledyne received 78,522 shares of common stock on June 3, 2015.
On January 27, 2015, Teledyne’s Board of Directors approved an additional stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2,500,000 shares of its common stock. On February 2, 2015, the Company entered into a $142.0 million ASR agreement with a financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock under at an initial price of $94.68 per share. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, in February 2015, the Company advanced $142.0 million to the ASR counterparty and received 1,425,000 shares of common stock, which used $134.9 million of the $142.0 million advanced, representing 95% of the estimated shares to be repurchased under the ASR agreement.
The up-front payments were accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in the period the payments were made. The total number of shares of common stock that the Company will repurchase under each ASR is based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the common stock during

the term of the respective 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 September 2014 ASR agreement occurred in May 2015 as noted above.  Final settlement of the February 2015 ASR agreement is expected to occur in December 2015, although the settlement may be accelerated at the ASR Counterparty’s option. The Company has treated the ASR's 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's meet all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and, therefore, is not accounted for as a derivative instrument.
The February 2015 ASR was funded by cash on hand and floating rate borrowings of $120.0 million under the $750 million credit facility. The 2011 and 2015 stock repurchase authorizations are 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 and borrowing capacity available, alternative investment opportunities available immediately or longer-term, and other regulatory, market or economic conditions. Repurchases would be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the company’s credit facility. Teledyne has 2,313,066 shares of treasury stock at June 28, 2015.
For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, no stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

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, and beginning in 2015 restricted stock units, 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 $3.3 million and $7.1 million in stock option compensation expense for the second quarter of 2015 and six months of 2015, respectively. The Company recorded a total of $3.6 million and $6.2 million in stock option compensation expense for the second quarter and six months of 2014, 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 2015, the Company currently expects approximately $12.6 million in stock option compensation expense based on stock options already granted. This does not include any estimated expense for stock options that may be granted during the remainder of the year and can be impacted by employee retirements and terminations. 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 stock 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.
No stock options are expected to be granted in 2015.

Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Award Program
For the first of three annual installments of the 2012 to 2014 Performance Share Plan, 1,944 shares of Teledyne common stock were issued in the first quarter of 2015. The remaining 8,309 shares are expected to be issued in approximately two equal annual installments. Also in the first quarter of 2015, the restriction was removed for 29,642 shares of Teledyne common stock and 7,662 shares were forfeited related to the 2012 to 2014 Restricted Stock Award Program. In the first six months of 2015, the Company granted 33,016 shares of restricted stock to certain employees at a weighted average fair value of $100.80 per share. Also in the first six months of 2015, 9,018 shares of restricted stock units were issued to non-employee directors at a fair market value of $109.69 per share. These restricted stock units vest one year from the grant date.
Note 7. 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 $258.9 million at June 28, 2015 and $241.8 million at December 28, 2014. The remainder of the inventories using the LIFO method were $104.6 million at June 28, 2015 and $98.1 million at December 28, 2014. 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):

(a) The decrease in cash primarily reflects lower cash balances held by foreign subsidiaries.
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 six months of 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in millions):

Note 9. 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 second quarter and first six months of 2015 was 27.5% and 28.6% respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was 28.3% and 27.2%, respectively. The first six months of 2015 included $1.1 million in net income tax benefits, compared with net income tax benefits of $2.1 million for the first six months of 2014. The second quarter of 2015 included income tax benefits of $1.3 million compared with net tax expense for discrete items of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding net discrete tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 29.5% for both the second quarter and first six months of 2015 and 28.1% for the second quarter of 2014 and 28.7% for the first six months of 2014.

Available borrowing capacity under the $750.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and certain outstanding letters of credit, was $555.4 million at June 28, 2015. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at June 28, 2015, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
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 was considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy and is valued based on observable market data. The estimated fair value of Teledyne’s long-term debt at June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, approximated the carrying value.
At June 28, 2015, the Company had $9.8 million in capital leases, of which $1.3 million is current. At December 28, 2014, the Company had $10.4 million in capital leases, of which $1.3 million was current. At June 28, 2015, Teledyne had $17.0 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Note 11. 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 28, 2014, included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
At June 28, 2015, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $9.2 million, of which $4.8 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 statements.
Note 12. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
Teledyne’s pension expense was $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, compared with pension income of $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively. In the first quarter of 2015, Teledyne froze its non-qualified pension plan for top executives which resulted in a one-time gain of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. For the domestic pension plan, the discount rate decreased to 4.5 percent in 2015 compared with a 5.4 percent discount rate used in 2014. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.4 million and $6.9 million for the both the second quarters and first six months of 2015 and 2014, 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 2015 or in 2014. No cash pension contributions are planned for 2015 for the domestic pension plan.
The Company sponsors several postretirement defined benefit plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retirees. The following tables set forth the components of net income/expense for Teledyne’s pension plans and postretirement benefit plans for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 and 2014 (in millions):

Our strategy continues to emphasize growth in our core markets of instrumentation, digital imaging, aerospace and defense electronics and 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 and through product development. We aggressively pursue operational excellence to continually improve our margins and earnings. Operational excellence includes the rapid integration of the businesses we acquire. Using complementary technology across our businesses and internal research and development, we seek to create new products to grow our company and expand our addressable markets. We continue to evaluate our businesses to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy.
Our Recent Acquisitions
On June 5, 2015, Teledyne acquired Industrial Control Machines SA (“ICM”) through a Netherlands-based subsidiary for an initial payment of $21.4 million, net of cash acquired. An additional $2.6 million of the purchase price is subject to an indemnification holdback, all or a portion of which is payable in December 2016. Based in Liège, Belgium, ICM is a leading supplier of portable X-ray generators for non-destructive testing applications, as well as complete X-ray imaging systems for on-site security screening and is part of the Digital Imaging segment.
On April 29, 2015, Teledyne DALSA, Inc. acquired the remaining 49% minority interest in the parent company of Optech Incorporated for $22.0 million in cash. As a result of the purchase, the difference between the cash paid and the balance of noncontrolling interest was recorded to additional paid in capital.
On February 2, 2015, Teledyne acquired Bowtech Products Limited (“Bowtech”) through a U.K.-based subsidiary for $18.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired and including an estimated working capital adjustment. Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, Bowtech designs and manufactures harsh underwater environment vision systems and is part of the Instrumentation segment.
During 2014, Teledyne made four acquisitions, the largest of which was Bolt Technology Corporation (“Bolt”) in November 2014. All of the 2014 acquisitions are part of the Instrumentation segment.
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.
For a further description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, please refer to Note 3 of our 2014 Form 10-K (“2014 Form 10-K”).

Second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014
Our second quarter 2015 sales were $577.7 million, compared with sales of $597.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 3.2%. Net income attributable to Teledyne was $48.3 million ($1.34 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $56.1 million ($1.47 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 13.9%.  
Sales
The second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, reflected lower sales in each segment except the Engineered Systems segment. Second quarter 2015 sales included the impact of acquisitions. Incremental revenue in the second quarter of 2015 from recent acquisitions was $10.0 million.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, which primarily reflected the impact of lower sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2015 increased slightly to 61.9% from 61.7% in the second quarter of 2014.
Certain contracts are accounted for under the percentage of completion (“POC”) method and related contract cost and revenue estimates for significant contracts are reviewed and reassessed quarterly. The aggregate effects of these changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the POC accounting method, in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, were $7.2 million and $5.8 million of favorable operating income and $8.4 million and $5.7 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, decreased by $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, and primarily reflected the impact of lower sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015, as a percentage of sales, increased slightly to 26.2%, compared with 25.9% in the second quarter of 2014. Corporate expense was $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. In the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, we recorded a total of $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in stock option compensation expense. Employee stock option grants are expensed evenly over the three year vesting period.

Table of Contents


Pension Income/Expense
Pension income or expense is included in both cost of sales and selling general and administrative expense. The second quarter of 2015 included pension expense of $1.1 million, compared with pension income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, Teledyne froze the non-qualified pension plan for top executives which resulted in a one-time gain of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. For 2015, the discount rate to determine the benefit obligation for the domestic plan was 4.5%, compared with 5.4% in 2014. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) was $3.4 million in both the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014. Pension expense determined allowable under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services sold to the U.S. Government.
Operating Income
Operating income was $68.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $74.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 7.3%. The second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, reflected lower operating income in the each segment except the Instrumentation segment and flat corporate expense. The incremental operating loss included in the results for the second quarter of 2015 from recent acquisitions was $0.9 million which included $1.0 million in additional intangible asset amortization expense.
Interest Expense and Other Income
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase in interest expense primarily reflected the impact of higher outstanding debt levels, due to recent acquisitions and stock repurchases. Other income was $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with income of $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. Other income and expense for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 included net gains on legal settlements $3.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
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 second quarter of 2015 was 27.5% compared with 28.3% for the second quarter of 2014.
The second quarter of 2015 reflected $1.3 million in net discrete tax benefits. The second quarter of 2014 reflected $0.2 million in net discrete tax expense. Excluding the net discrete tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 29.5% for second quarter of 2015 and 28.1% for the second quarter of 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 is expected to be 29.5%, based on the projected mix of earnings before tax by jurisdiction, excluding the impact of any matters that would be treated as discrete.
First six months of 2015 compared with the first six months of 2014
Our first six months of 2015 sales were $1,142.7 million, compared with sales of $1,170.6 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of 2.4%. Net income attributable to Teledyne was $92.0 million ($2.53 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2015, compared with $101.9 million ($2.67 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of 9.7%.  
Sales
The first six months of 2015, compared with the first six months of 2014, reflected lower sales in Digital Imaging and Aerospace and Defense Electronics segments, partially offset by higher sales in the Instrumentation and Engineered Systems segments. The first six months of 2015 sales included the impact of acquisitions. Incremental revenue in the first six months of 2015 from recent acquisitions was $22.2 million.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by $16.5 million in the first six months of 2015, compared with the first six months of 2015, which primarily reflected the impact of lower sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first six months of 2015 increased slightly to 61.6% from 61.5% in the first six months of 2015, compared with the first six months of 2014.
The aggregate effects of changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the POC accounting method, in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, were $11.6 million and $11.3 million of favorable operating income and $14.8 million and $12.8 million of unfavorable operating income, respectively.

Second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014
The Instrumentation segment’s second quarter 2015 sales were $271.3 million, compared with $276.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 1.9%. Operating income for the second quarter of 2015 was $45.7 million, compared with operating income of $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 4.3%.
The second quarter 2015 sales decrease resulted from lower sales of electronic test and measurement and environmental instrumentation, partially offset by higher sales of marine instrumentation. Sales for electronic test and measurement instrumentation decreased by $5.3 million primarily as a result of lower international sales due in part to the impact of foreign exchange rates. Sales for environmental instrumentation decreased by $1.7 million and reflected lower sales of laboratory and field instrumentation. Sales of for marine instrumentation were higher by $1.7 million and included $9.5 million in incremental sales from recent acquisitions, including Bolt and Bowtech. The higher marine instrumentation sales included increased sales of sensors and interconnects for offshore energy production and were partially offset by lower sales of geophysical sensors for offshore oil exploration and interconnect systems for land based energy applications. The increase in operating income primarily reflected higher margins for electronic test and measurement instrumentation products. The second quarter of 2015 reflected $0.6 million in higher acquired intangible amortization expense primarily due to recent acquisitions and $1.2 million in higher severance costs compared with 2014.
The incremental operating loss included in the results for the second quarter of 2015 from recent acquisitions was $0.6 million, which included $1.0 million in additional intangible asset amortization expense. In 2015, we expect slightly increased sales of marine instrumentation as a result of prior acquisitions, as well as greater sales of marine interconnect systems, partially offset by reduced sales of geophysical sensors for oil and gas exploration.
Second quarter 2015 cost of sales decreased by $3.3 million, compared with the second quarter of 2014, and primarily reflected the impact of lower sales. The cost of sales percentage decreased slightly to 56.0% from 56.1%. Second quarter 2015 selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, decreased by $3.9 million, compared with the second quarter of 2014, and primarily reflected the impact of lower sales. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage decreased to 27.2% in the second quarter of 2015 from 28.1% in the second quarter of 2014.
First six months of 2015 compared with the first six months of 2014
The Instrumentation segment’s first six months 2015 sales were $541.6 million, compared with $535.5 million in the first six months of 2014, an increase of 1.1%. Operating income for the first six months of 2015 was $87.8 million, compared with operating income of $81.3 million in the first six months of 2014, an increase of 8.0%.
The first six months 2015 sales increase resulted from higher sales of marine instrumentation and environmental instrumentation product lines, partially offset by lower sales of electronic test and measurement instrumentation. The higher sales of $10.6 million for marine instrumentation included $21.7 million in incremental sales from recent acquisitions, including Bolt and Bowtech. Marine instrumentation reflected increased sales of sensors and interconnects for offshore energy production offset by reduced sales of geophysical sensors for oil and gas exploration and lower sales of sonar and marine positioning systems. Sales for environmental instrumentation increased by $4.7 million and primarily reflected higher sales of laboratory and field instrumentation. Sales for electronic test and measurement instrumentation decreased by $9.2 million primarily as a result of lower international sales due in part to the impact of foreign exchange rates. The increase in operating income primarily reflected the impact of higher sales. The first six months of 2015 reflected $1.4 million in higher acquired intangible amortization expense primarily due to recent acquisitions and $1.3 million in higher severance costs compared with 2014.
The incremental operating loss included in the results for the first six months of 2015 from recent acquisitions was $0.5 million, which included $2.0 million in additional intangible asset amortization expense.
The first six months of 2015 cost of sales increased by $1.8 million, compared with the first six months of 2014, and primarily reflected the impact of higher sales. The cost of sales percentage decreased slightly to 55.7% from 55.9%. The first six months of 2015 selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, decreased by $2.2 million, compared with the first six months of 2014 and reflected lower research and development spending. The selling, general and administrative expense percentage decreased to 28.1% in the first six months of 2015 from 28.9% in the first six months of 2014.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $75.7 million for the first six months of 2015, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $122.1 million for the first six months of 2014. The lower cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2015 reflected lower net income, timing of accounts payable payments and the payment of a scheduled earn-out, payments of expected change in control severance amounts related to the Bolt acquisition, partially offset by the receipt of $3.0 million related to a legal settlement. The 2014 amount included the receipt of $10.0 million related to a legal settlement.
Our net cash used by investing activities was $80.4 million for the first six months of 2015, compared with net cash used by investing activities of $23.2 million for the first six months of 2014. The 2015 amount includes $62.4 million for acquisitions. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 were $21.3 million and $20.6 million, respectively.
On June 5, 2015, Teledyne acquired ICM through a Netherlands-based subsidiary for an initial payment of $21.4 million, net of cash acquired. An additional $2.6 million of the purchase price is subject to an indemnification holdback, all or a portion of

which is payable in December 2016. On April 29, 2015, Teledyne DALSA, Inc. acquired the remaining 49% minority interest in the parent company of Optech Incorporated for $22.0 million. On February 2, 2015, Teledyne acquired Bowtech through a U.K.-based subsidiary for $18.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired and including an estimated working capital adjustment.
During 2014, Teledyne made four acquisitions, the largest of which was Bolt on November 18, 2014.
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 acquisitions.
Our goodwill was $1,165.6 million at June 28, 2015 and $1,150.6 million at December 28, 2014. The increase in the balance of goodwill in 2015 resulted from recent acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of exchange rate changes. Goodwill resulting from the Bowtech and ICM acquisitions will not be deductible for tax purposes. Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $266.6 million at June 28, 2015 and $277.6 million at December 28, 2014. The decrease in the balance of acquired intangible assets in 2015 primarily resulted from amortization and the impact of exchange rate changes, partially offset by acquired intangibles for recent acquisitions. The Company is still in the process of specifically identifying the amount to be assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the ICM, Bowtech and Bolt acquisitions. The Company made preliminary estimates as of June 28, 2015, since there was insufficient time between the acquisition dates and the end of the period to finalize the analysis.
Financing activities used cash of $69.9 million for the first six months of 2015, compared with cash used by financing activities of $59.8 million for the first six months of 2014. Financing activities for the first six months of 2015 reflected net borrowings of $75.0 million while the first six months of 2014 included net payments of debt of $42.9 million. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $10.8 million and $13.2 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. On February 2, 2015, the Company entered into a $142.0 million ASR agreement with a financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under at an initial price of $94.68 per share. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, in February 2015, the Company advanced $142.0 million to the ASR counterparty and received 1,425,000 shares of common stock, which used $134.9 million of the $142.0 million advanced, representing 95% of the estimated shares to be repurchased under the ASR agreement.  The ASR agreement was funded by cash on hand and floating rate borrowings of $120.0 million under the $750 million credit facility.
Working capital decreased to $388.4 million at June 28, 2015, compared with $402.7 million at December 28, 2014, and primarily reflected lower foreign cash balances due to the use of cash for recent acquisitions.
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 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 raise other forms of debt capital, depending on financial, market and economic conditions. We may need to raise additional capital to support acquisitions. We currently expect to spend up to $60.0 million for capital expenditures in 2015, of which $21.3 million has been spent in the first six months of 2015. No cash pension contributions are planned for 2015 for the domestic pension plan.
Total debt, including capital lease obligations, at June 28, 2015 was $765.3 million, which also includes $180.0 million outstanding under the $750.0 million credit facility. At June 28, 2015, Teledyne had $17.0 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 $555.4 million at June 28, 2015. The credit agreements require the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at June 28, 2015 the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
As of June 28, 2015, the Company had a significant amount of margin between required financial covenant ratios and our actual ratios. At June 28, 2015, the required financial ratios and the actual ratios were as follows:

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, acquired intangible assets 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 2014 Form 10-K.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year, but will allow early adoption as of the original adoption date. 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, product sales, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, the credit facility, interest expense, severance and relocation costs, environmental remediation costs, stock repurchases, taxes, exchange rates 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 and in other sections of this Form 10-Q 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; cuts to defense spending resulting from existing and future deficit reduction measures; and threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cyber security threats. 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. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect 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, 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 outside of the United States, including those arising from U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions 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 2014 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 2014 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 June 28, 2015 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 $6.5 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 June 28, 2015, we had $377.5 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 $3.8 million, assuming the $377.5 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 June 28, 2015, are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In connection with our evaluation during the quarterly period ended June 28, 2015, 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.

Risk Factors
There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2014 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 and exchange rate risks.
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 (“ASR”) agreement 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, which used $91.4 million of the $101.6 million advanced. The total number of shares of common stock that the Company repurchased under the ASR agreement was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount. In May 2015 the ASR agreement was settled and Teledyne received 78,522 shares of common stock on June 3, 2015.
On January 27, 2015, Teledyne’s Board of Directors approved an additional stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2,500,000 shares of its common stock (“2015 repurchase program”). On February 2, 2015, the Company entered into a $142.0 million ASR agreement with a financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial price of $94.68 per share. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, in February 2015, the Company advanced $142.0 million to the ASR Counterparty and received 1,425,000 shares of common stock, which used $134.9 million of the $142.0 million advanced, representing 95% of the estimated shares to be repurchased under the ASR agreement.
The following table sets forth the shares repurchased during each fiscal month during the second quarter of 2015:
