2022 Acquisitions
ETM
During the fourth quarter of 2022, Teledyne acquired ETM-Electromatic, Inc. ("ETM") for $87.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and subject to certain adjustments. ETM, headquartered in Newark, California, designs and manufactures high-power microwave and high-energy X-ray subsystems for cancer radiotherapy, defense and X-ray security applications. ETM is part of the Digital Imaging segment. Goodwill resulting from the ETM acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
NL Acoustics
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company acquired an approximate 80% majority interest in Noiseless Acoustics Oy ("NL Acoustics"), paying $11.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, during the year, with an immaterial amount payable in 2023. NL Acoustics, located in Helsinki, Finland, designs and manufactures acoustics imaging instruments and predictive maintenance solutions. NL Acoustics is part of the Digital Imaging segment. Goodwill resulting from the NL Acoustics acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The minority ownership interest in shares of NL Acoustics held by a third party is classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet due to a put option under which the third party may require the Company to purchase the remaining ownership interest, with the put option exercisable beginning in the third quarter of 2025. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value and its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded through retained earnings. Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance during the period were not material.
The following tables show the purchase price (net of cash acquired), goodwill acquired, and acquired intangible assets for the acquisitions made in 2022 (in millions):

The Company’s cost to acquire these 2022 acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
upon their respective fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. The differences between the fair value of the consideration paid and the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities for the 2022 acquisitions is provisional pending finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting, including the measurement of tax basis in certain jurisdictions and the resulting deferred taxes that might arise from book and tax basis differences, if any. Pro forma results of operations, the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition date, and a more detailed breakout of the major classes of assets and liabilities acquired for the 2022 acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company's financial results. The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill for the 2022 acquisitions included the acquired businesses’ market positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which they operate, their experienced work force and established operating infrastructures. The results of these acquisitions have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of their respective acquisition.
2021 Acquisition
On May 14, 2021, Teledyne acquired the outstanding stock of FLIR for approximately $8.1 billion, comprising of net cash payments of $3.7 billion, 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 8 for information regarding financing activities undertaken in connection with the FLIR acquisition.
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 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. Goodwill resulting from the FLIR acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The primary reasons for the FLIR acquisition were to achieve synergies in merging with a business that has the same core business model based on proprietary sensor technologies, but with different products and markets; the opportunity to add new and complementary products with FLIR’s products based on different semiconductor technologies for imaging across different wavelengths than Teledyne products, and the opportunity to serve different customers and applications, with minimal overlapping technologies and markets; the expectation of combining two businesses that both provide sensors, cameras and sensor systems to customers and both business portfolios being balanced among commercial and government markets and geographies, but in the case of thermal imaging, with Teledyne primarily producing extremely high-performance infrared detectors used for astronomy and space-based imaging applications compared to FLIR’s products ranging from air and ground imaging systems to commercial thermography instruments and automotive advanced driver assistance systems; and the opportunity to add FLIR’s suite of imaging sensor products based on different semiconductor technologies for different wavelengths to Teledyne’s offerings.
The significant factors that resulted in recognition of goodwill include the acquired businesses’ market positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which they operate, their experienced work force and established operating infrastructures. The results of this acquisition have been included in Teledyne’s results since the dates of acquisition.
The following table presents the final purchase price allocation for FLIR, as the measurement period closed in the second quarter of 2022. The Company accounted for the FLIR acquisition under the acquisition method and measured identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the fair values on the closing date. The Company has completed 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 fair values of acquired intangibles were determined based on estimates and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company.

(a)
The consideration 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 totals SEK 3.1 billion ($364.7 million based on exchange rates as of the acquisition date). 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 (the “Appellate Court”). Teledyne recorded a liability for this uncertain tax position that reflects 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. 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. Teledyne paid the tax on February 2, 2022 totaling $296.4 million. The Company requested for permission to appeal this ruling to the Swedish Administrative Supreme Court. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the appeal was denied.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company finalized the measurement period including reviewing and identifying acquisition accounting adjustments for a number of acquired tax positions of FLIR that meet the definition of an acquired uncertain tax position. In addition to the STA matter described above, the Company recorded $187.6 million of 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 consolidated balance sheets.
