Teledyne Technologies Inc. beat analysts’ profit and revenue estimates for the fourth quarter. The Thousand Oaks-based manufacturer of electronic systems and digital imaging equipment reported net income of $46.2 million ($1.23 a share) for the fourth quarter compared with $36.8 million (99 cents a share) in the same period a year earlier.

For the full fiscal year, Teledyne had net income of $164 million ($4.39 a share) compared with the $255 million ($6.84 a share) for the previous fiscal year. Revenue rose 9.5 percent to $2.1 billion. The company, which serves the aerospace and marine industries, saw the biggest sales gains in its instrumentation division; revenue rose by 56 percent, an increase the company attributed to a rise in sales of geophysical sensors and interconnect systems used in offshore energy exploration and production.
