NORTH READING, Mass. – July 24, 2013 – Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) reported revenue of $429 million for the second quarter of 2013 of which $293 million was in Semiconductor Test, $99 million in Wireless Test and $37 million in Systems Test. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the second quarter was $89.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.

“We delivered our 16th consecutive quarter of profitable operations with strong growth in our semiconductor and wireless test businesses,” said CEO, Mike Bradley. “Semiconductor Test orders grew 40% in the quarter driven by the mobile, power management, microcontroller, and memory test sectors. Wireless and Systems Test orders declined in the quarter as customers adjusted their capacity to market demand. We’ve raised our third quarter revenue outlook to reflect these order trends.”

Guidance for the third quarter of 2013 is revenue of $425 million to $465 million with non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.39 to $0.49 and GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.23 to $0.31.

Non-GAAP Results

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, Teradyne also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain income items and charges. These results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income exclude acquired intangible asset amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest, fair value inventory step-up related to LitePoint, pension and post retirement actuarial gains and losses, and restructuring and other, and include income taxes on a cash basis. GAAP requires that these items be included in determining income from operations and net income. Non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP net income per share are non-GAAP measures presented to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Teradyne’s baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of Teradyne’s current core business or future outlook. These non-GAAP measures are used to make operational decisions, to determine employee compensation, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with Teradyne’s business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of Teradyne’s competitors. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes charges related to the fair value inventory step-up recorded as part of acquisition purchase accounting and pension and post retirement actuarial gains and losses. GAAP requires that this item be included in determining gross margin. Non-GAAP gross margin dollar amount and percentage are non-GAAP measures that management believes provide useful supplemental information for management and the investor. Management uses non-GAAP gross margin as a performance measure for Teradyne’s current core business and future outlook and for comparison with Teradyne’s business plan, historical gross margin results and the gross margin results of Teradyne’s competitors. Non-GAAP diluted shares include the impact of Teradyne’s call option on its shares. Management believes each of these non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information for investors, allowing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision making and in the review of Teradyne’s financial and operational performance, as well as facilitating meaningful comparisons of Teradyne’s results in the current period compared with those in prior and future periods.
