Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 27, 2006, Teleflex Incorporated (the "Company") issued a press release (the "Press Release") announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 25, 2005. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

In addition to the financial information included in the Press Release that has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Press Release includes information regarding free cash flow and certain income measures which exclude the effect of gains on sale of assets, options expense and restructuring and other costs associated with the Company's restructuring and divestiture program, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Press Release includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Management believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of cash performance b ecause it provides a meaningful representation of those cash flows, both operating and capital, that are associated with the Company’s operations. In addition, management believes that the use of income measures that exclude gains on sale of assets and the effect of retructuring and other costs associated with the Company's restructuring and divstitute program provides useful information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. The exclusion of options expense is intended to provide comparability with prior periods for which stock options were not expensed in accordance with the accounting rules applicable to such periods. However, such non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, such non-GAAP financial measures as presented by the Company may not be co mparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be considered "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such future filing that such information is to be considered "filed" or incorporated by reference therein.

Jeffrey P. Black, president and chief executive officer of the company, said, “Teleflex delivered strong results in 2005. We executed on our strategic initiatives during the year including portfolio transition and restructuring programs designed to improve our competitive position, solidify our platform for future growth, and unlock shareholder value. In addition, our key financial metrics – earnings, cash flow from operations, free cash flow and asset velocity all reached records for the company and at year end our balance sheet was as strong as it has been in years.”

Black continued, “Going forward in 2006 and beyond, our plan is to leverage our improved competitive position and financial condition to energize growth. With the restructuring program largely behind us, we have the ability and wherewithal to invest in new product development and make strategic acquisitions that drive the business forward.”

The following tables reconcile income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter and twelve month periods as reported to income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special charges and gain on sale of assets.

Fourth Quarter Business Segment Commentary

The following segment discussion excludes the impact of discontinued operations and items included in restructuring costs as disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of income. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the company eliminated the one-month lag of certain of its foreign operations to coincide with the timing of reporting for all operations which resulted in an additional $16.9 million of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Total revenue during the fourth quarter of 2005 was $646.6 million, up slightly from $645.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Revenue growth consisted of 5 percent from core growth offset by a 2 percent decline from currency exchange rates and a 3 percent decline from lag reporting changes in 2004.

Commercial Segment

Commercial Segment revenues posted a 1 percent increase during the quarter to $301.0 million from $297.3 million in the same period last year. This growth reflects 4 percent core growth, offset in part by the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Commercial Segment revenues benefited from increases in sales of products for the automotive and industrial markets.

Commercial Segment operating profit increased 3 percent to $21.8 million from $21.2 million as a result of benefits from the restructuring program and other productivity improvements.

Medical Segment

Medical Segment revenues were $206.7 million, a decline of 10 percent when compared to revenues of $229.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Relatively flat core segment revenues were reduced by declines of 6 percent related to lag reporting changes in 2004, 3 percent from currency exchange and 1 percent from dispositions.

Medical Segment operating profit decreased 5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 to $35.1 million from $37.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The decrease in operating profit was primarily related to currency translation and to a lesser extent the impact of lower volume.

Aerospace Segment

Aerospace Segment revenues increased 18 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 to $138.9 million from $117.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Core revenue growth of 19 percent was driven by double digit increases in all three businesses, cargo systems, repair products and services and precision machined components partially offset by other minor effects including a 1 percent decrease due to currency.

(MORE)

Aerospace Segment operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2005 improved significantly, increasing to $13.4 million from a loss of $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase was the result of higher volumes and improvements in all three businesses, as well as the elimination of a loss making business earlier in the year.

Cash Flows from Continuing Operations

Record cash flows of $335.9 million represented a 32 percent increase over the prior year and included a $69.7 million contribution from the reduction of operating assets and liabilities. A key element to this improvement was the impact of the company’s continuing program of reducing working capital. Net working capital (excluding cash and debt) represented 18 percent of annualized fourth quarter sales as compared to 25 percent of annualized fourth quarter sales in 2004.

Discontinued Operations

For the full year the loss from discontinued operations was $3.0 million or 7 cents per diluted share compared to a loss of $55.6 million or $1.37 per diluted share in the prior year. For the fourth quarter, the loss from discontinued operations was $5.6 million or 14 cents per diluted share compared to

a loss of $45.6 million or $1.12 per diluted share in 2004.

Net Income

Net income for the full year was $136.8 million or $3.34 per diluted share, up from $9.5 million or 24 cents per diluted share in 2004. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $35.5 million or 87 cents per diluted share compared to a loss of $71.6 million or $1.77 per diluted share for the prior year period.

Outlook for 2006

In commenting on the outlook for 2006, Jeff Black said, “We see continued momentum for Teleflex in 2006. Our expectation is that diluted earnings per share from continuing operations before restructuring charges and options expense for the full year 2006 will increase to between $4.05 and $4.25. In addition, for 2006 we expect another strong cash flow performance in excess of $330 million.” For 2006, the company continues to expect non-cash expense related to accounting for stock options to be in the range of 12 to 14 cents per diluted share. Restructuring charges for the year are expected to be in the range of $18 to $23 million, or 28 to 37 cents per fully diluted share.

As previously announced, Teleflex will comment on its fourth quarter and year end 2005 results on a conference call to be held Tuesday, February 28, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The call will be available live and archived on the company’s website at www.teleflex.com and accompanying charts will be posted prior to the call.

Additional Notes and Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release addresses free cash flow and certain income measures which exclude the effect of restructuring and other costs associated with our restructuring and divestiture program, which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. A table reconciling cash flow from operations to free cash flow is set forth below. A table reconciling income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special charges and gain on sale of assets is set forth above.

The reconciliation of cash flow from continuing operations to free cash flow is as follows:

                                         
    YTD Dec 2005           YTD Dec 2004        
    (dollars in thousands)                
Cash flow from continuing operations
  $ 335,892                     $ 254,795          
Capital expenditures
    (69,851 )                     (52,938 )        
Dividends
    (39,320 )                     (34,575 )        
 
                                       
Free cash flow
  $ 226,721                     $ 167,282          
 
                                       

Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis which may cause minor differences.

Core growth includes activity of a purchased company beyond the initial twelve months after the date of acquisition. Core growth excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from year to year, the impact of eliminating the one-month lag-reporting for certain of the company’s foreign operations, and the comparable activity of divested companies within the most recent twelve-month period.

Actual results could differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements due to, among other things, inability to sell businesses at prices, or within time-periods, anticipated by management; unanticipated expenditures in connection with the effectuation of restructuring programs; costs and length of time required to comply with legal requirements applicable to certain aspects of the restructuring program; unanticipated difficulties in connection with consolidation of manufacturing and administrative functions; customer reaction to new programs; and other factors described in Teleflex’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
