Summary of the 10-K filed March 3, 2006. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY) reported 2005 sales of $1,206.5 milliona, up from $1,016.6 million in 2004 and $840.7 million in 2003, and net income of $64.2 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, compared with $41.7 million ($1.24 per diluted share) in 2004.
Electronics and Communications was the largest segment at $717.8 millionb in sales and $84.0 million in operating profit, driven largely by acquisitions including Cougar Components, RD Instruments and the Celeritek defense electronics business. Acquisition-related revenue added $100.8 million to that segment's 2005 sales compared with 2004. U.S. Government sales were $510.6 million in 2005, about 42% of total sales, and the company's backlog of confirmed orders stood at $521.9 million at January 1, 2006.
The filing highlights significant exposure to government contracting risk, a pension plan that was underfunded at year-end 2005 (accrued pension obligation of $68.2 millionc), and a $38.9 million non-cash reduction to stockholders' equity under SFAS No. 87. Cash flow from continuing operations was $92.3 million, and total debt at year-end 2005 included $39.0 million under a $280.0 million credit facility, with $220.2 million of committed credit available. For 2006, management's outlook calls for full-year diluted earnings per share of approximately $1.85 to $1.90 on a GAAP basis, after roughly $0.10 per share of stock option expense and higher pension expense.
The company acquired Benthos, Inc. in January 2006 for approximately $40.6 milliond including stock option settlements, or $32.2 million net of cash acquired. Teledyne does not pay cash dividends and intends to retain earnings for growth.
