Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

Teledyne transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary foreign currency risk management objective is to protect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars for our Canadian companies, and in British pounds for our UK companies. These contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company has also converted U.S. dollar denominated, variable rate and fixed rate obligations into euro fixed rate obligations using a receive float, pay fixed cross currency swap, and a receive fixed, pay fixed cross currency swap. These cross currency swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. In addition the Company has converted domestic U.S. variable rate debt to fixed rate debt using a receive variable, pay fixed interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is also designated as a cash flow hedge.

The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge forward contracts is assessed prospectively and retrospectively using regression analysis as well as using other timing and probability criteria. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedges, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge forward contracts’ gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income, at which time the effective amount in AOCI is reclassified to revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI, net of tax, for the forward contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $1.8 million. These gains are expected to be offset by anticipated losses in the value of the forecasted underlying hedged item. Amounts related to the cross currency swaps and interest rate swap expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income in the next twelve months total $4.4 million.

In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur, within the defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI to other income or expense. During the current reporting period, all forecasted transactions occurred and, therefore, there were no such gains or losses reclassified to other income and expense.

As of April 3, 2022, Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy Canadian dollars and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $166.9 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from June 2022 to February 2024. Teledyne had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to buy British pounds and to sell U.S. dollars totaling $18.7 million. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities ranging from June 2022 to May 2023. The cross currency swaps have notional amounts of €113.0 million and $125.0 million, and €135.0 million and $150.0 million, and mature in March 2023 and October 2024, respectively. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $125.0 million and matures in March 2023.

In addition, Teledyne manages the risk of changes in the fair value of certain monetary liabilities attributable to changes in exchange rates. Teledyne manages these risks by using currency forward contracts formally designated and effective as fair value hedges. Hedge effectiveness is generally determined by evaluating the alignment of the hedging instrument's critical

terms with the critical terms of the hedged item. The forward points attributable to the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and amortized to other income or expense, net using a systematic and rational methodology. Differences between the change in the fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized under the systematic and rational method are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The change in fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to the hedged risk is reported in the other income or expense, net. The change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is reported as an adjustment to its carrying value and also in other income or expense, net. At April 3, 2022 Teledyne had no forward contracts designated as fair value hedges.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 was as follows (in millions):

	First Quarter
	2022		2021
Net gain recognized in AOCI - Foreign Exchange Contracts (a)	$	13.7	$	12.5
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into revenue - Foreign Exchange Contracts (a)	$	(0.2)	$	3.2
Net gain recognized in AOCI - Interest Rate Contracts	$	1.3	$	0.1
Net gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into other income and expense, net - Foreign Exchange Contracts (b)	$	6.2	$	10.0
Net gain reclassified from AOCI into interest expense - Foreign Exchange Contracts	$	0.9	$	0.9
Net gain (loss) loss reclassified from AOCI into interest expense - Interest Rate Contracts	$	(0.4)	$	(0.4)

(a)    Effective portion, pre-tax

(b)     Amount reclassified to offset earnings impact of liability hedged by cross currency swap

Non-Designated Hedging Activities

In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany receivables and payables. As of April 3, 2022, Teledyne had non-designated foreign currency contracts of this type, primarily in the following pairs (in millions):

Contracts to Buy			Contracts to Sell
Currency	Amount		Currency	Amount
Canadian Dollars	$	139.2	U.S. Dollars	US$	110.3
Great Britain Pounds	£	61.3	U.S. Dollars	US$	81.9
Euros	€	167.9	U.S. Dollars	US$	186.4
Danish Krone	DKR	403.7	U.S. Dollars	US$	60.2
Swedish Krona	SEK	463.5	Euros	€	43.1
Norwegian Krone	kr	209.8	Swedish Krona	SEK	229.7

The preceding table includes non-designated hedges derived from terms contained in triggered or previously designated cash flow hedges. The gains and losses on these derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments are intended to, at a minimum, partially offset the transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings. Teledyne does not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other income and expense for the first quarter ended April 3, 2022 was expense of $4.8 million. The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges in other income and expense for the first quarter ended April 4, 2021 was expense of $0.2 million. The income or expense was largely offset by losses or gains in the value of the underlying hedged item excluding the impact of forward points.

Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market expectations at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR and EURIBOR) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and EURIBOR cash and swap rates, foreign currency forward rates and cross currency basis spreads). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. The fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments. Both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below. All fair values for these derivatives were measured using Level 2 information as defined by the accounting standard hierarchy (in millions):
