"Our record sales in the third quarter included organic growth just under 12 percent and operating margin increased 380 basis points excluding acquisition-related costs," said Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Cash flow was a third quarter record, allowing repayment of $300.0 million of debt, while our leverage ratio declined to 3.3x from 3.7x at the end of the second quarter. Sales increased in every major business category but were especially strong in our commercial imaging and electronic test and measurement instrumentation businesses. Our government businesses continued to grow, and we are beginning to see a recovery in some of our longer-cycle commercial markets such as aerospace and energy. We are also very pleased with the integration of Teledyne FLIR, as well as its performance in the first full quarter as part of Teledyne. Finally, while Teledyne is not immune to supply chain challenges and the current operating environment, we have been successfully navigating and managing these issues."
