Cash and Stock Transaction Valued at Approximately $8.0 Billion
Teledyne and FLIR to Host Joint Conference Call and Webcast at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Today
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) (“Teledyne”) and FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLIR) (“FLIR”) jointly announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Teledyne will acquire FLIR in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8.0 billion.
Under the terms of the agreement, FLIR stockholders will receive $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of Teledyne common stock for each FLIR share, which implies a total purchase price of $56.00 per FLIR share based on Teledyne’s 5-day volume weighted average price as of December 31, 2020. The transaction reflects a 40% premium for FLIR stockholders based on FLIR’s 30-day volume weighted average price as of December 31, 2020.
As part of the transaction, Teledyne has arranged a $4.5 billion 364-day credit commitment to fund the transaction and refinance certain existing debt. Teledyne expects to fund the transaction with permanent financing prior to closing. Net leverage at closing is expected to be approximately 4.0x adjusted pro forma EBITDA with leverage declining to less than 3.0x by the end of 2022.
Teledyne expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to earnings, excluding transaction costs and intangible asset amortization, and accretive to GAAP earnings in the first full calendar year following the acquisition.
“At the core of both our companies is proprietary sensor technologies. Our business models are also similar: we each provide sensors, cameras and sensor systems to our customers. However, our technologies and products are uniquely complementary with minimal overlap, having imaging sensors based on different semiconductor technologies for different wavelengths,” said Robert Mehrabian, Executive Chairman of Teledyne. “For two decades, Teledyne has demonstrated its ability to compound earnings and cash flow consistently and predictably. Together with FLIR and an optimized capital structure, I am confident we shall continue delivering superior returns to our stockholders.”
“FLIR’s commitment to innovation spanning multiple sensing technologies has allowed our company to grow into the multi-billion-dollar company it is today,” said Earl Lewis, Chairman of FLIR. “With our new partner’s platform of complementary technologies, we will be able to continue this trajectory, providing our employees, customers and stockholders even more exciting momentum for growth. Our Board fully supports this transaction, which delivers immediate value and the opportunity to participate in the upside potential of the combined company.”
Jim Cannon, President and Chief Executive Officer of FLIR, said, “We could not be more excited to join forces with Teledyne through this value-creating transaction. Together, we will offer a uniquely complementary end-to-end portfolio of sensory technologies for all key domains and applications across a well-balanced, global customer base. We are pleased to be partnering with an organization that shares our focus on continuous innovation and operational excellence, and we look forward to working closely with the Teledyne team as we bring our two companies together to capitalize on the important opportunities ahead.”

In a separate press release issued today, Teledyne announced improved preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020.

$FLIR Systems announces the modification of its thermal cameras specially intended for temperature detection ...
June 30 2020 - 09:44 PM
Business Wire Print
The FLIR EST range of thermal solutions includes an improved exploratory mode, which offers rapid, secure and simplified first-line screening
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced the modification of its thermal imaging cameras for rapid, contactless, high skin temperature screening *. FLIR EST ™ thermal screening solutions provide a first-line filter at the entrance to buildings and in high-traffic
areas, to improve safety and help curb the spread of COVID-19. The cameras of the FLIR Axxx-EST, FLIR T5xx-EST, and FLIR Exx-EST ranges are designed to simplify the screening process, reducing the workload for screening officers, and respecting the recommendations regarding social distancing. .
This press release contains multimedia elements. See the full press release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200630006123/en/

"The new FLIR EST thermal solutions are the result of almost twenty years of experience in the design and manufacture of thermal measurement solutions for skin temperature-based screening," said Jim Cannon, CEO of FLIR.
“These cameras are to date our easiest cameras to configure and operate for skin temperature screening, and require only limited training to start screening people faster and more accurately. "
FLIR Screen-EST mode
The new EST cameras also include an improved FLIR Screen-EST mode, built into the camera, which increases the yield capacity by 25% compared to the previous version.
In order to further increase accuracy, the new Screen-EST mode automatically generates an average temperature, based on a reference sample, and compares the skin temperature of individuals compared to this reference, which reduces the uncertainty of the measurements, linked to natural fluctuations in body temperature and the effects of the environment.
This mode can issue or display an alarm when the camera detects an elevated temperature above a defined threshold.
If the screening method detects an individual with a high skin temperature, the individual should be examined using a medical device such as a thermometer.
FLIR Axxx-EST range
The A500-EST and A700-EST cameras are designed for fixed and permanent installations, and can be deployed as a single, stand-alone screening station, or networked.
The cameras can be connected to most video management systems, and the camera housing has multiple mounting points that facilitate installation on a tripod, or permanent.
FLIR T5xx-EST range
The T540-EST and T560-EST cameras are designed to operate both in the context of a mobile installation and a more or less permanent installation.
The flexible form factor allows mobile operation without cables, with a battery life of up to four hours, or hands-free operation thanks to a built-in tripod slot.
FLIR Exx-EST range
Lightweight, ergonomic, designed for portable use, and powered by battery, the E54-EST and E86-EST cameras offer a possibility of mobile screening, thanks to their integrated touch screen, bright and easy to use.
Tripod slots are also available for Exx-EST models.
The FLIR Axxx-EST, T5xx-EST, and Exx-EST ranges will be available for purchase worldwide in the third quarter of 2020 on http://www.FLIR.com and via authorized FLIR distributors. For more information, visit http://www.flir.com/ehs.
* FLIR cameras are only intended for first line screening of skin temperature.
They do not detect fevers or viruses, nor any specific medical pathology. Anyone with a high skin temperature should undergo secondary screening by medical personnel with medical grade equipment.
