Industry Context

Teledyne operates in diverse markets, each highly competitive. The company competes on quality, product performance, reliability, technical expertise, price and service.

  • Market Position: The company believes its technological capabilities, innovation and ability to invest in the development of new and enhanced products are critical to obtaining and maintaining leadership in its markets.
  • Key Competitors: The company encounters a wide variety of competitors across its diverse product lines, none of which offer the same product and service lines or serve all of the same markets as Teledyne does.
  • Industry Trends: The company's markets are characterized by high barriers to entry and include specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized.

Risk Factors

  • Market Risks: A possible recession in the U.S. or globally, continued economic slowdown in China, and higher interest rates may adversely affect us. Escalating global trade tensions, especially between the U.S. and China, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in Israel and neighboring regions and the adoption or expansion of tariffs and trade restrictions could negatively impact us.
  • Operational Risks: Increased prices for components and raw materials used in our products and higher labor and shipping costs could adversely impact our profitability. We have experienced component and raw material shortages in the past that impacted our ability to manufacture and ship all the product for which we have demand, and these constraints may continue in the future. Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel.
  • Financial Risks: Currency exchange rate fluctuations may increase the cost of our products to international customers and therefore reduce our competitive position. Our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with our covenants that apply to our indebtedness, could materially and adversely affect our business. Higher tax rates may harm our results of operations and cash flow. Changes in future business conditions could cause business investments, goodwill and other long-lived assets to become impaired, resulting in significant losses and write-downs that would reduce our operating income.
  • Regulatory Risks: Our U.S. Government contracting business is subject to government contracting regulations, including increasingly complex regulations on cybersecurity, and our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could harm our operating results and prospects. We are subject to the risks associated with international sales and international operations, and events in those countries could harm our business or results of operations.
