Forward-Looking Information Cautionary Notice
Teledyne's investor relations presentation 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, taxes 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 investor presentation 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; and cuts to defense spending resulting from future deficit reduction measures, including potential automatic cuts to defense spending that may be triggered by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of the company's commercial aviation businesses. 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. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the company's pension assets. The forward-looking information may also include statements about the expected effects on Teledyne of the pending LeCroy transaction, the anticipated timing and scope of the transaction, expected timing of the completion of the transaction, anticipated earnings impact, estimated cost savings and other synergies, costs to be incurred in achieving synergies, anticipated capital expenditures, other strategic options and all other statements other than historical facts. Many factors could change anticipated results, including unanticipated issues associated with the satisfaction of the conditions to the transaction, issues associated with obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and the terms and conditions of such approvals, Teledyne's ability to integrate the acquired operations, retain customers and key employees and achieve operating synergies, the ability to develop and market new products, failure of the requisite number of LeCroy stockholders to approve the transaction, operating results of LeCroy being lower than anticipated, and unexpected acquisition-related costs and expenses.
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 internationally, including those arising from U.S. and foreign policy changes and exchange rate fluctuations.
The company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While the company believes its 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 the Teledyne Technologies' periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC") for a more complete description of the company, its businesses, its strategies and the various risks that the company faces. Various risks are identified in Teledyne's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers, particularly those interested in investing in Teledyne Technologies, should read these risk factors.
The company assumes no duty to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise.
