TELEFLEX ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
Core Revenue Growth 4%
Q2 Operating Cash Flow $96 Million
Quarterly Dividend Announced

Limerick, PA — Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 25, 2006. Revenues from continuing operations were $682.6 million, up 4 percent from $657.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. Core growth in the quarter was 4 percent. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $36.0 million or 89 cents per diluted share, compared to $38.1 million or 93 cents per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Excluding special charges, loss on sale of assets, and a second quarter tax benefit, income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $37.3 million or 92 cents per diluted share. This compares with income from continuing operations excluding special charges in the second quarter of 2005 of $42.4 million or $1.03 per diluted share.

Special charges related to restructuring and impairment during the second quarter of 2006 were $8.5 million pre-tax or 17 cents per diluted share, and loss on sale of assets for the quarter was $1.8 million pre-tax or 2 cents per diluted share. The quarter also included a tax benefit of $6.4 million or 16 cents per diluted share that resulted from the overstatement of tax expense in prior periods. Special charges in the second quarter of 2005 were $6.7 million pre-tax or 10 cents per diluted share.

Cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 was $96.4 million compared to $108.8 million realized in the second quarter of 2005. For the first six months of 2006, cash flow from operations was $132.4 million, compared with cash flow from operations of $171.2 million in the prior year period. The company continues to expect cash flow from operations for the full year 2006 will approach $300 million.

Jeffrey P. Black, chairman and chief executive officer of Teleflex said, “Second quarter results from operations came in slightly better than our revised expectations.  The pace of

change in our Medical Segment accelerated in June as our actions to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency began to show results, the Aerospace Segment continued to execute well, and the Commercial Segment delivered on plan.  We expect to see ongoing progress in the second half of the year from our initiatives to improve business performance.  We remain comfortable with the view of business performance established in our June outlook given current market trends and the normal third quarter seasonal slowdown.  Our overall fundamentals remain strong with solid cash generation and a balance sheet that can clearly support growth initiatives.”

The company now expects diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the full year 2006 before special charges, gain or loss on sale of assets and the tax benefit to be in the range of $3.75 to $3.90. This reflects a lower than expected tax rate for the year. Special charges and gain or loss on sale of assets for the full year are expected to be in the range of 45 to 55 cents. The tax benefit is expected to be 12 cents per diluted share.

Continuing Operations – First Six Months

For the first six months of 2006, revenues from continuing operations increased 3 percent to $1.31 billion compared to revenues of $1.28 billion for the same period in 2005. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2006 was $65.0 million or $1.60 per diluted share which compares with income from continuing operations for the prior year period of $63.0 million or $1.54 per diluted share.

For the first six months of 2006, income from continuing operations excluding special charges, net loss on sale of assets, and the tax benefit was $70.4 million or $1.73 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations, excluding special charges for the first six months of 2005 was $73.4 million or $1.80 per diluted share.

Second Quarter Business Segment Commentary

The following segment discussion excludes the impact of discontinued operations and items included in restructuring and impairment charges as disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Total revenue during the second quarter of 2006 was $682.6 million, up 4 percent from $657.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. Core growth during the quarter was 4 percent, with no material impact from acquisitions, dispositions, or currency exchange rates.

Commercial

Commercial Segment revenues increased 7 percent in the second quarter of 2006 to $337.2 million from $314.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase resulted from an 8 percent increase in core growth, offset by a 1 percent decrease from currency translation.

(MORE)

Segment revenues benefited from increased sales of industrial products including auxiliary power units, alternative fuel systems and heavy duty rigging and cable and sales of automotive products in North America and Asia.

Commercial Segment operating profit of $25.0 million was generally flat in the second quarter, compared to $25.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. Operating profit for the segment was negatively impacted by a charge of $2 million in the quarter related to an inventory shortfall.

Medical

Second quarter Medical Segment revenues of $217.8 million were flat compared to revenues of $218.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. New product sales offset modest volume declines and backorders related to operational inefficiencies experienced in the quarter.

Medical Segment operating profit declined 13 percent to $37.3 million from $43.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decline in operating profit when compared to the prior year was primarily the result of increased costs and operational inefficiencies related to consolidation of facilities and distribution centers.

Aerospace

Aerospace Segment revenues increased 3 percent to $127.7 million from $124.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. Core growth of 2 percent was driven primarily by increased sales of cargo handling systems and related aftermarket parts, and increases in volume for repair products and services with 1 percent attributable to acquisitions.

Aerospace Segment operating profit increased to $11.4 million from $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. Operating profit increased as a result of higher volume levels across the segment and the benefits of restructuring actions taken in 2005.

Discontinued Operations

For the second quarter, income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million pre-tax or 2 cents per diluted share compared to a loss of $13.4 million pre-tax or 22 cents per diluted share in the prior year period. In the second quarter of 2005, results from discontinued operations included significant charges and a gain related to the restructuring and divestiture program.

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter was $36.6 million or 90 cents per diluted share, compared to $29.0 million or 71 cents per diluted share in the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $65.7 million or $1.62 per diluted share compared to $67.7 million or $1.66 per diluted share in the prior year period.
