Unveiled at Modern Day Marine 2026, Teledyne FLIR Defense announced the expansion of its Third-Party Payload Integration Program with the certification of Emesent’s Hovermap LiDAR Payload. The agreement will deliver Emesent’s GPS-denied 3D-mapping capabilities across Teledyne FLIR’s unmanned aerial systems (UAS), ground robots, and radiation detection platforms.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260428589843/en/Unveiled at Modern Day Marine 2026, Teledyne FLIR Defense announced the expansion of its Third-Party Payload Integration Program with the certification of Emesent’s Hovermap LiDAR Payload. The agreement will deliver Emesent’s GPS-denied 3D-mapping capabilities across Teledyne FLIR’s unmanned aerial systems (UAS), ground robots, and radiation detection platforms. Mounted on the company’s SUGV™ 325 ground robot, Hovermap provides users with persistent 3D awareness of complex enclosed environments streamed in real-time.
The Emesent–Teledyne FLIR combination addresses a GPS-denial gap in air and ground domains where unmanned systems can lose GPS connectivity in common operating areas, such as tunnels, urban structures, and CBRN-contaminated spaces. Using LiDAR-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), Emesent’s Hovermap payload generates accurate 3D maps without GPS or external infrastructure.


On Teledyne FLIR’s SkyRanger® R70 and R80D SkyRaider® UAS platforms, Hovermap enables mapping even in GPS-denied environments. Mounted on the company’s SUGV™ 325 ground robot, Hovermap provides users with persistent 3D awareness of complex enclosed environments streamed in real-time. And integrated with Teledyne FLIR’s MUVE™ R430 radiation detection payload on the SUGV, Hovermap allows operators to see not just where a robot has been, but where radiation levels are elevated, giving CBRN teams an immediate, geo-referenced picture of the threat environment.


“Knowing the shape of a space is powerful. Knowing where the radiation is within that space, in real time, without putting a person in harm’s way, is an operational game-changer,” said Stefan Hrabar, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Emesent. “Our partnership with Teledyne FLIR Defense brings together GPS-denied mapping and radiation detection in a way that directly addresses what CBRN operators need in the field.”


“Teledyne FLIR builds platforms trusted for the most demanding CBRN missions in the world,” said Tung Ng, vice president of Unmanned Systems North America for Teledyne FLIR Defense. “Working with Emesent, we’ll be able to give operators a fused, spatial picture of the threat environment they simply haven’t had access to before."


“This is the direction the whole field is heading in, and we’re delivering it now through certified third-party payloads like Hovermap,” Ng added.


Emesent’s Hovermap represents the firm’s success in utilizing Teledyne FLIR Defense’s open-architecture, partner-enabled development ecosystem. Certified payloads are assessed for mechanical fit, electrical interface, software compatibility, and flight performance, giving customers confidence in mission-tailored capabilities from a growing partner ecosystem.


The partnership also establishes a technical foundation for future capability development. Both companies are actively developing autonomous navigation capabilities and expanding multi-sensor fusion beyond radiation to additional CBRN detection modalities.


The integrated systems will be on display at Teledyne FLIR Defense booth #1724 at Modern Day Marine 2026, April 28–30, at Marine Corps Base Quantico.

We supplement the reporting of our financial results determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures provide management, financial analysts and investors with additional useful information for evaluating the company’s performance. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further details on reasons we use non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information related to those measures are included after our GAAP financial statements.


Forward-Looking Statements Cautionary Notice


This earnings release contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to management’s beliefs about the financial condition, results of operations, acquisitions and product synergies, integration costs, tax matters, and businesses of Teledyne in the future. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, are based on the current expectations of the management of Teledyne and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.


The forward-looking statements contained herein may include statements relating to sales, sales growth, orders, stock-based compensation expense, tax rates, tariffs, governmental and economic policies, anticipated capital expenditures, stock repurchases, product developments, and other strategic options. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “projects”, “intends”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “targets”, “estimates”, “will” and words of similar import that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in this communication that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking. By its nature, forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance or results and involves risks and uncertainties because it relates to events and depends on circumstances that will occur in the future.


Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors could change anticipated results, including: the impact of the 2026 conflict between the United States and Iran, including among other things, higher energy costs and energy supply constraints, disruptions in shipping, supply shortages of critical materials, including aluminum, metals, chemicals and industrial helium supplies, disruptions to air travel, the risk of retaliation against U.S. targets by Iran or its proxies, and slower global growth, the impact of policies of the U.S. Presidential Administration, especially with respect to new and higher tariffs, cutbacks in the funding of government agencies and programs, and the scaling back of environmental and green energy policies; escalating economic and diplomatic tension between China and the United States, including a “trade war” resulting in higher tariffs and restrictions on sales of goods and services; reciprocal tariffs from other countries, especially from members of the European Union; U.S. Government shutdowns, which in the past have resulted in delays in anticipated contract awards, delayed payments of invoices and delays in the issuance of export and other licenses; the inability to develop and market new competitive products; changes in relevant tax and other laws; foreign currency exchange risks; rising interest rates; risks associated with indebtedness, as well as our ability to reduce indebtedness and the timing thereof; the impact of semiconductor and other supply chain shortages; higher inflation, including wage competition and higher shipping costs; labor shortages and competition for skilled personnel; inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with GAAP and related standards; disruptions in the global economy; global conflicts including the conflict in the Middle East as well as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; changes in demand for products sold to the defense electronics, instrumentation, digital imaging, energy exploration and production, commercial aviation, semiconductor and communications markets; funding, continuation and award of government programs; cuts to defense spending resulting from existing and future deficit reduction measures or changes to U.S. and foreign government spending and budget priorities triggered by inflation, and economic conditions; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cybersecurity threats; risks related to artificial intelligence; natural and man-made disasters; and our ability to achieve emission reduction targets and decrease our carbon footprint. Volatile oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East, Latin America or other oil producing regions, could negatively affect our businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. Weakness in the commercial aerospace industry negatively affects the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. Lower aircraft production rates at Boeing or Airbus could result in reduced sales of our commercial aerospace products. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the company’s pension assets. Changes in the policies of U.S. and foreign governments, including economic sanctions or in regard to support for the Ukraine or Middle East conflicts, could result, over time, in reductions or realignment in defense or other government spending and further changes in programs in which the company participates.


While the company’s growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses, retain key management and customers, and achieve identified financial and operating synergies. There are additional risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating businesses internationally, including those arising from U.S. and foreign government policy changes or actions and exchange rate fluctuations.


Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in Teledyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2025, as well as subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available in the “Investors” section of Teledyne’s website, teledyne.com, under the heading “Investor Information” and in other documents Teledyne files with the SEC.


All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Teledyne assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.


A live webcast of Teledyne’s first quarter earnings conference call will be held at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern) on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. To access the call, go to www.teledyne.com/investors/events-and-presentations approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to more fully understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, and to aid in comparability with our competitors, investors and financial analysts may wish to consider the impact of certain items resulting from our acquisitions which have an infrequent or non-recurring impact on operations or assist in understanding our operations pre-acquisition. Accordingly, we present non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to the financial measures we present in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management, investors and financial analysts with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by adjusting for certain expenses and benefits. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and in comparing this performance to our peers and competitors. The company’s diluted earnings per common share outlook guidance is also presented on a non-GAAP basis.


The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges that have an effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures by which to evaluate our financial results. Management compensates and believes that investors also should compensate for those limitations by viewing the non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and benchmark our results against our historical performance and the performance of our peers.


Our non-GAAP measures are as follows:


Non-GAAP income before income taxes, net income and diluted earnings per common share


These non-GAAP measures provide a supplemental view of income before taxes, net income and diluted earnings per common share. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain transaction and integration costs, inventory step-up expense, acquired intangible asset amortization, remeasurement of deferred taxes related to acquired intangible assets due to changes in tax laws, and tax benefits or costs related to the settlement or other resolution of the FLIR tax reserves. We also adjust for any post-acquisition interest on certain income tax reserves related to FLIR. We adjust for any income tax impact related to these items to take into account the tax treatment and related tax rate and changes in tax rates that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Generally, this results in the tax impact at the U.S. marginal tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of amortization of intangible assets, whereas the tax impact of other adjustments, including transaction expenses, depend on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable tax rates in those jurisdictions. We believe these measures provide investors and management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results of our business by adjusting for certain expenses and benefits and present an alternative view of our performance compared with prior periods.


Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin


We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income divided by net sales. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain transaction and integration costs, inventory step-up expense, and acquired intangible asset amortization. We believe these measures provide investors and management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results of our business by adjusting for certain expenses and other items and present an alternative view of our performance compared with prior periods.


Non-GAAP total debt and net debt


We define non-GAAP total debt as the sum of the current portion of long-term debt and other debt and long-term debt. We define net debt as the difference between non-GAAP total debt less cash and cash equivalents. The company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to assist investors and management in analyzing the company’s liquidity.


Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share outlook


This non-GAAP measure represents our earnings per common share outlook for the second quarter of 2026 and total year 2026 on a fully diluted basis, excluding certain transaction and integration costs, acquired intangible asset amortization for all acquisitions and FLIR acquisition-related tax matters.


Non-GAAP cash provided by operations and free cash flow


We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities (a measure prescribed by GAAP) less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. We believe that this non-GAAP information is useful to assist management and the investment community in analyzing the company’s ability to generate cash flow.


Non-GAAP line items used in tables


Management excludes the effect of each of the acquisition-related items identified below to arrive at the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced in the tables for the reasons set forth below with respect to that item:



Acquired intangible asset amortization – We believe that excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, which primarily represents purchased technology and customer relationships, as well as purchase order and contract backlog, provides an alternative way for investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition to those post-acquisition and to those of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies. However, we note that companies that grow internally will incur costs to develop intangible assets that will be expensed in the period incurred, which may make a direct comparison more difficult.




Transaction and integration costs – Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses are substantial expenses (or benefits) incurred with acquisitions and primarily include legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as integration-related costs such as employee separation costs, facility consolidation costs and facility lease impairments. Employee separation costs include required change-in-control payments, cash settlement of employee and director stock awards, as well as other employee severance amounts. We exclude those costs from our non-GAAP measures because we believe they do not reflect our ongoing financial performance.




Inventory step-up expense – The purchase accounting entries associated with our acquisitions require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes substantial and greater than the previous book value of inventory. Included in our GAAP presentation, the increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related inventory is sold. In 2025, we excluded inventory step-up amortization related to the Micropac and Qioptiq acquisitions from our non-GAAP measures because it is a non-cash expense that we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results.




FLIR acquisition-related tax matters – Included in our tax provision is post-acquisition interest on certain income tax reserves related to FLIR, as well as the tax benefits or costs related to the settlement or other resolution of the FLIR tax reserves. We exclude those impacts from our non-GAAP measures because we believe it does not reflect our ongoing financial performance.
