"We were pleased with our results, as both revenue and earnings increased substantially compared to last year," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Beyond our strong financial performance, the strategic changes over the last several months are even more significant. Teledyne has steadily evolved over the last decade, but having divested our piston engine businesses and with the acquisition of DALSA, Teledyne is now truly an electronics, instrumentation and engineering company. The proportion of earnings generated from commercial markets and international customers continues to grow. For example, our instrumentation and imaging businesses provide proprietary products for global energy, water quality and industrial manufacturing applications. In addition, given our exposure to subsea oil exploration and production, Teledyne is positively leveraged to rising commodity costs."
