The company declared record-breaking first-quarter sales and reported significant achievements in non-GAAP operating margin and adjusted earnings per share.
The growth is attributed to organic expansion across all segments and contributions from recent acquisitions. Teledyne highlighted that its quarter-end backlog reached an unprecedented level, marking the sixth consecutive quarter where orders exceeded sales.
Driven by a strategic mix of commercial and government engagements across diverse geographies and markets, Teledyne continues to deliver consistent, long-term results despite global economic and political uncertainties.

A notable acquisition, Qioptiq, finalized on January 31, 2023, is off to a promising start and is expected to positively impact the company's non-GAAP earnings by 2025. Despite the strong quarterly performance, Teledyne is maintaining its previous earnings outlook due to the unpredictable economic environment.
