Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed July 23, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) reported record second quarter 2025 net sales of $1,513.7 milliona, an increase of 10.2% compared with the second quarter of 2024, and filed this 8-K to furnish its earnings press release (Exhibit 99.1) under Item 2.02.
GAAP net income attributable to Teledyne was $209.9 millionb, or $4.43 per diluted share, compared with $180.2 million, or $3.77 per diluted share, a year earlier. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $5.20 versus $4.58 in the prior-year quarter. Management said sales grew organically in every segment and orders exceeded sales for the seventh consecutive quarter, while cautioning that the second quarter likely benefited from accelerated demand amid uncertain global trade policies and that it is exercising caution regarding the third quarter.
The company raised the low end of its full-year 2025 non-GAAP EPS outlook to $21.20 to $21.50c (from $21.10 to $21.50) and raised its GAAP EPS outlook to $17.59 to $17.97 (from $17.35 to $17.83). Third-quarter 2025 non-GAAP EPS is guided to $5.35 to $5.45 and GAAP EPS to $4.39 to $4.54. Net debt was $2,306.5 million as of June 29, 2025, up from $1,999.2 million at December 29, 2024, and the quarter-end consolidated leverage ratio was 1.6x.
Free cash flow was $196.3 milliond, down from $301.0 million, mainly reflecting higher income tax payments. Under Item 8.01, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase program of up to $2.0 billion of common stock on July 22, 2025, superseding prior open programs. The press release states that this replaces a previous authorization of which $896 million remained, and that management will continue to consider repurchases when it believes Teledyne is the best value acquisition available, while it also pursues acquisitions.
