Review of Operations
Comparisons are with the fourth quarter of 2017, unless noted otherwise. In the second quarter of 2018, we realigned the reporting structure for certain of our microwave product groupings. These products, acquired with the acquisition of e2v, were formerly reported as part of the Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment and are now reported as part of the Digital Imaging segment. Previously reported segment data has been adjusted to reflect this change. Total sales for these products were $24.2 million for fiscal year 2017.
Instrumentation
The Instrumentation segment’s fourth quarter 2018 net sales were $263.4 million, compared with $254.8 million, an increase of 3.4%. Operating income was $43.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $30.7 million, an increase of 40.1%.
The fourth quarter 2018 net sales increase resulted from higher sales of test and measurement instrumentation and environmental instrumentation, partially offset by lower sales for marine instrumentation. Sales of test and measurement instrumentation increased $14.0 million while sales of environmental instrumentation increased $3.1 million. Sales of marine instrumentation decreased $8.5 million. The increase in operating income reflected the impact of higher sales and higher margins across most product lines.
Digital Imaging
The Digital Imaging segment’s fourth quarter 2018 net sales were $225.9 million, compared with $206.7 million, an increase of 9.3%. Operating income was $37.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $35.9 million, an increase of 3.3%.
The fourth quarter 2018 net sales primarily reflected higher sales of X-ray detectors and generators for life sciences applications and MEMS products. The increase in operating income in the fourth quarter of 2018 reflected the impact of higher sales, partially offset by unfavorable product mix. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2017 included a $1.1 million reduction to estimated pretax charges recorded in 2017 related to the acquisition of e2v.
Aerospace and Defense Electronics
The Aerospace and Defense Electronics segment’s fourth quarter 2018 net sales were $178.3 million, compared with $173.4 million, an increase of 2.8%. Operating income was $36.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $34.1 million, an increase of 7.0%.
The fourth quarter 2018 net sales reflected $13.2 million of higher sales of defense electronics, partially offset by $8.3 million of lower sales of aerospace electronics. The increase in operating income in the fourth quarter of 2018 reflected the impact of favorable product mix.
Engineered Systems
The Engineered Systems segment’s fourth quarter 2018 net sales were $80.8 million compared with $69.5 million, an increase of 16.3%. Operating income was $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $8.3 million, an increase of 6.0%.
The fourth quarter 2018 net sales reflected higher sales of $14.6 million of engineered products and services, partially offset by lower sales of $2.9 million of turbine engines. The higher sales of engineered products and services, primarily reflected increased nuclear, marine and aviation manufacturing programs and increased sales related to missile defense. Sales of turbine engines reflected lower sales of cruise missile engines. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased primarily due to higher sales of engineered products and services.

Additional Financial Information
Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities was $125.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $126.4 million. The cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2018 reflected the impact of higher operating income, offset by higher income tax payments. At December 30, 2018, cash totaled $142.5 million and total debt, including capital lease obligations, was $750.6 million, compared with $1,072.9 million at December 31, 2017.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing the territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the Tax Act, Teledyne incurred provisional charges of $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to the repatriation tax and the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The company finalized its assessment of the Tax Act during the fourth quarter of 2018, resulting in a decrease of $0.8 million to the provisional charge.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 14.9% compared with 23.4%. The fourth quarter of 2018 reflected net discrete income tax benefits of $6.9 million. This amount included a $4.8 million income tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance. The fourth quarter of 2017 reflected net discrete income tax benefits of $6.0 million, which includes a $3.7 million income tax benefit related to share-based accounting. The fourth quarter of 2017 also includes the provisional charge of $4.7 million related to Tax Act impact. Excluding the net discrete income tax benefits in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 21.3% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 24.9% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2018, primarily reflects the lower corporate income tax rates as part of the Tax Act.
Other
Stock option expense was $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $3.2 million. Non-service retirement benefit income was $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $3.8 million. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased to $5.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with $7.6 million and primarily reflected lower debt levels in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. Corporate expense was $14.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $14.4 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2018, Teledyne adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This ASU requires the service cost component of net benefit costs to be reported in the same line item or items within operating income as other compensation costs, with the other components of net benefit cost to be presented outside of operating income. The 2017 period has been adjusted to be consistent with the 2018 presentation. In addition, effective January 1, 2018, Teledyne adopted ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior period comparative information is not adjusted and is reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. The cumulative effect of adopting the new standard resulted in an immaterial increase to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.
Outlook
Based on its current outlook, the company’s management believes that first quarter 2019 GAAP earnings per diluted share will be in the range of $1.87 to $1.92 and full year 2019 GAAP earnings per diluted share will be in the range of $9.25 to $9.35. The company’s annual estimated tax rate for 2019 is 22.3%, before discrete items.
Forward-Looking Statements Cautionary Notice
This press release contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to sales, earnings, operating margin, growth opportunities, acquisitions and divestitures, product sales, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option compensation expense, interest expense, taxes, exchange rate fluctuations, cost reductions, facility consolidation costs, severance expenses and strategic plans. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “believes” or “expect”, that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All statements made in this press release that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking.
Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors could change the anticipated results, including: disruptions in the global economy; disruptions due to the current U.S. Government shutdown; 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; impacts from the United Kingdom’s pending exit from the European Union; uncertainties related to the policies of the U.S. Presidential Administration; the imposition and expansion of, and responses to, trade sanctions and tariffs; and threats to the security of our confidential and proprietary information, including cyber security threats. Lower oil and natural gas prices, as well as instability in the Middle East or other oil producing regions, and regulations or restrictions relating to energy production, including with respect to hydraulic fracturing, could further negatively affect the company’s businesses that supply the oil and gas industry. Increasing fuel costs could negatively affect the markets of our commercial aviation businesses. 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, 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 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 policy changes and exchange rate fluctuations.
