What's Driving TDY's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

AI-extracted from TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC's 10-Q filed 2026-04-24 — Q1 FY2026 (quarter ended March 29, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Teledyne Q1 2026 net sales rose 7.6% to $1,560.1M with net income up 20.3% to $226.8M, driven by strong growth in Digital Imaging and Aerospace & Defense Electronics segments.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $1,560.1M+7.6% YoY

Digital Imaging$816.9M+7.9% YoY

Higher sales of infrared imaging detectors, components and subsystems for defense and commercial applications, plus higher surveillance and unmanned air systems for defense.

Instrumentation$361.4M+5.3% YoY

Marine Instrumentation sales up $13.5M due to stronger offshore energy and defense markets; Environmental Instrumentation up $7.3M from stronger gas detection products.

Aerospace and Defense Electronics$277.5M+14.4% YoY

Defense electronics increased $36.1M, including $20.3M from recent acquisitions, partially offset by $1.1M aerospace decline.

Engineered Systems$104.3M-2.6% YoY

Lower sales of engineered products and energy systems.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of sales$886.3M+6.7% YoY

Increase driven by higher net sales, partially offset by favorable product mix; cost of sales as percentage of net sales decreased to 56.8% from 57.3%.

Acquired intangible asset amortization$57.6M+10.8% YoY

Increase primarily related to 2025 and 2026 acquisitions across multiple segments.

Research and development$84.6M+13.9% YoY

Higher R&D expense primarily in Digital Imaging segment due to timing of FLIR product development activities.

Selling, general and administrative$237.4M+1.5% YoY

Modest increase due to higher net sales and acquisition expenses, partially offset by lower corporate transaction and integration costs.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • U.S. Government represents 26% of Q1 2026 revenue ($405.1M). Heavy defense exposure concentrates risk to changes in government spending, shutdowns, and contract awards.
  • Engineered Systems segment revenue declined 2.6% YoY to $104.3M; operating margin compressed to 11.2% from 10.1%, though favorable program mix partially offset lower sales.
  • Instrumentation segment operating income fell 4.6% to $88.4M despite 5.3% revenue growth; operating margin contracted to 24.5% from 27.0% due to unfavorable product mix.
  • Company repaid $450M of Senior Notes due April 2026 subsequent to quarter-end from cash on hand; remaining debt $2,476.3M with $1,165.8M available under $1.2B credit facility.
  • Global trade environment remains volatile with tariffs, China rare-earth restrictions, and Middle East conflict creating supply chain risks; company mitigation includes multi-country manufacturing.
