NORTH READING, Mass., July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Teradyne, Inc.

GAAP net profit for the second quarter was $101.0 million or $0.52 per share.  On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the second quarter was $112.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, non-cash convertible debt interest, discrete income tax adjustments, and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

“Second quarter sales and earnings exceeded guidance as our test businesses strengthened through the quarter,” said CEO and President Mark Jagiela.  “Despite the slowdown in test demand for mobile devices, other test markets grew in the quarter led by memory in Semiconductor Test, connectivity in Wireless Test at LitePoint, and storage in System Test.  In Industrial Automation, Universal Robots continued its high growth with sales up 45% from Q2 of 2017.  At newly acquired Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), full quarter sales grew over 85% from the year ago quarter on a standalone basis.”

"Reflecting a continued strong outlook in both our Test and Industrial Automation segments, Q3 company sales are expected to grow over 10% compared to Q3 2017 at the midpoint of our guidance."
