“Teledyne's second quarter results were the best in our history. We achieved all-time record sales, earnings, and operating margin," said Robert Mehrabian, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Organic growth of 8.3% was driven by broad-based growth across our imaging and instrumentation businesses. Orders also remained healthy with an overall book to bill greater than 1.1 times due in part to strong defense and space-related contract awards. Finally, margins increased in every segment as a result of greater sales, favorable product mix and cost control, as well as stronger business integration and simplification efforts across the company."
