"Once again, we achieved all time record sales, earnings per share and cash flow for any quarterly period," said Robert Mehrabian, Executive Chairman. "Due to our greater emphasis on margin improvement, operating margin increased 150 basis points over last year. We also closed two acquisitions in the quarter, including the quick completion of the Gas and Flame Detection business of 3M. In fact, each of our two 2019 corporate carve out acquisitions were closed within two months of announcement." Al Pichelli, President and Chief Executive Officer, added, "Teledyne continued to benefit from our balanced business portfolio. Strong sales of defense electronics and advanced detectors for medical imaging, as well as a recovery in marine instrumentation, helped generate total company organic growth of approximately five percent. In addition, given recent acquisitions, every segment reported double digit sales growth."
