Acquisition of FLIR Systems, Inc.
On May 14, 2021, Teledyne acquired the outstanding stock of FLIR Systems, Inc. ( “FLIR”) for approximately $8.1 billion, comprising of net cash payments of $3.7 billion, net Teledyne share issuances of $3.9 billion, and the assumption of FLIR debt of $0.5 billion. FLIR stockholders received $28.00 per share in cash and 0.0718 shares of Teledyne common stock for each FLIR share, and Teledyne issued approximately 9.5 million shares at $409.41 per share. See Note 3 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Teledyne’s 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the FLIR acquisition.
Founded in 1978, FLIR is an industrial technology company focused on intelligent sensing solutions for defense and industrial applications. FLIR offers a diversified portfolio that serves a number of applications in government and defense, industrial, and commercial markets. FLIR develops technologies that enhance perception and awareness. FLIR designs, develops, markets, and distributes solutions that detect people, objects and substances that may not be perceived by human senses and improve the way people interact with the world around them. FLIR technologies include thermal imaging systems, visible-light imaging systems, locater systems, measurement and diagnostic systems, and advanced threat-detection solutions. FLIR is part of the Digital Imaging segment.
The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill were: (a) the purchase price was based on cash flow and return on capital projections assuming integration with our businesses and (b) the calculation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired that qualified for recognition. Goodwill resulting from the FLIR acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation for FLIR. We are accounting for the FLIR acquisition under the acquisition method and are required to measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the fair values on the closing date. The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As of April 3, 2022, the measurement period (not to exceed one year) is open; therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the FLIR acquisition are subject to adjustment until the end of the respective measurement period. The Company is in the process of specifically identifying the amounts assigned to certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, and liabilities and the related impact on taxes and goodwill for the FLIR acquisition. The Company is in the process of reviewing a third-party valuation of certain intangible assets and tangible assets of FLIR. The fair values of acquired intangibles are determined based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. The amounts recorded as of April 3, 2022 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to gather the remaining information to finalize the analysis.

(a)     The consideration transferred included approximately $3.9 billion of Teledyne shares issued to existing shareholders of the acquired company. This $3.9 billion of equity consideration is a non-cash transaction. An immaterial portion of the cash consideration for certain vested FLIR restricted stock awards was deferred at the election of the award holder and will be paid out in future periods.

During fiscal year 2018, the Swedish Tax Authority (“STA”) issued a reassessment of tax for the year ending December 31, 2012 to one of FLIR’s non-operating subsidiaries in Sweden. The total taxes, penalties and interest levied by the STA totaled SEK 3.1 billion ($364.7 million based on exchange rates as of the acquisition date). The reassessment concerned the use of tax credits applied against capital gains pursuant to European Union Council Directive 2009/133/EC, commonly referred to as the EU Merger Directive, and the reassessment levied significant taxes and penalties. In March 2020, FLIR received an adverse judgment from the First Instance Court of Sweden regarding the STA’s reassessment. FLIR appealed the decision to the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Sweden. After completing an extensive analysis, including consultation with outside specialists, Teledyne recorded a liability for this uncertain tax position that reflected the most likely outcome for this tax matter under the acquisition method for business combinations in the third quarter of 2021, which was included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at January 2, 2022. On January 26, 2022, the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Sweden generally affirmed the March 2020 ruling of the First Instance Court and determined an estimated tax liability in the amount of SEK 2.765 billion. We paid the tax on February 2, 2022 totaling $296.4 million. We have requested for permission to appeal this ruling to the Swedish Administrative Supreme Court. We have not yet received a response to our request.
The Company is in the process of reviewing and identifying acquisition accounting adjustments for a number of acquired tax positions of FLIR that may meet the definition of an acquired uncertain tax position. In addition to the STA matter described above, the Company has preliminarily recorded $201.8 million of provisional purchase accounting adjustments for the accrual of other uncertain tax positions of FLIR. These amounts are primarily included within other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These preliminary estimates are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information on these matters and as additional information is made known during the post-acquisition measurement period. The final acquisition accounting adjustments for these tax matter may be materially different, as Teledyne obtains additional information on this matter and as additional information is made known during the post-acquisition measurement period.
The following table is a summary at the acquisition date of the acquired intangible assets and weighted average useful life in years for the FLIR acquisition made in 2021 (dollars in millions):

The unaudited proforma information below assumes that FLIR had been acquired at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year and includes the effect of transaction accounting adjustments. These adjustments include financing and interest costs associated with debt to fund the acquisition, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation of the fair value step-up of acquired property, plant and equipment, amortization of inventory fair value step-up (assumed to be fully amortized in 2020) and tax related effects as well as the issuance of Teledyne common stock in connection with the acquisition.
This unaudited proforma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition been in effect at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year. In addition, the unaudited proforma results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that might be achievable.

Teledyne’s net acquired intangible assets were $2,682.8 million at April 3, 2022 and $2,741.6 million at January 2, 2022.
