Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) reported third quarter 2024 results in Exhibit 99.1, a press release dated October 23, 2024.

Third quarter net sales were $1,443.5 milliona, up from $1,402.5 million, an increase of 2.9%, described as an all-time record quarterly sales figure. GAAP net income attributable to Teledyne was $262.0 million, or $5.54 per diluted share, versus $198.6 million ($4.15) a year earlier, while non-GAAP diluted EPS was $5.10 compared with $5.05. The quarter's GAAP results were lifted by $62.3 million of net discrete income tax benefits, primarily from resolving an uncertain tax position tied to a pre-acquisition FLIR tax matter.

Management said orders exceeded sales for the fourth consecutive quarter, and that demand remained robust in defense, space and energy, while commercial businesses have stabilized or are recovering. Segment results were mixed. Digital Imaging net sales fell 1.0%b and operating income fell 9.1%, driven by lower industrial automation imaging and X-ray sales.

Instrumentation sales rose 6.3% and operating income rose 12.6%, led by marine instrumentation, while Aerospace and Defense Electronics sales rose 9.2% and Engineered Systems sales rose 9.4%. Year-to-date, the company repurchased $332.6 millionc of stock through September 2024, and management cited estimated repurchases of approximately $354 million through October 2024.
