Trade Compliance Matters
The Company has made voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, including to the Bureau of Industry and Security with respect to Teledyne FLIR shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not licensed due to an incorrect de minimis calculation methodology under the Export Administration Regulations. The Company has also made voluntary disclosures to export authorities in jurisdictions outside the United States for certain potential violations of local export laws. The Company accrues amounts associated with potential violations to the extent a loss, penalty or other government action becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome could result in substantial fines and penalties or loss or suspension of export privileges or of particular authorizations that could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in and following the period in which such outcome becomes estimable or known.
Environmental Remediation Obligations
At June 29, 2025, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.3 million, of which $3.0 million is included in current accrued liabilities. At December 29, 2024, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.5 million. The Company evaluates whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance carriers and from third parties. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will pay the amounts recorded over many years and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.
Legal Matters
The Company is working to resolve a civil investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice relating to an ejection seat sequencer program and deliveries to the U.S. Government between 2006 and 2018. A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to product liability, acquisitions, patent infringement, contracts, employment and employment benefits. While the outcome of litigation, claims, proceedings and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these matters may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
