NORTH READING, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER):

					Q3’15					Q3’14					Q2’15
Orders (mil)					$314					$273					$529
Revenue (mil)					$466					$478					$513
Non-GAAP EPS					$0.40					$0.44					$0.53
GAAP EPS					$0.34					$0.38					$0.48

Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) reported revenue of $466 million for the third quarter of 2015 of which $326 million was in Semiconductor Test, $69 million in System Test, $55 million in Wireless Test, and $16 million in Industrial Automation. Industrial Automation consists of Universal Robots’ results for the full quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the third quarter was $84.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible assets amortization and discrete income tax adjustments, and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments. GAAP net income for the third quarter was $71.5 million or $0.34 per share.

Orders in the third quarter of 2015 were $314 million of which $211 million were in Semiconductor Test, $47 million in System Test, $40 million in Wireless Test, and $16 million in Industrial Automation.

“We’re on track to deliver our 6th straight year of above model financial results driven by strong tester sales for mobile devices, improving storage test demand, and a growing contribution from industrial automation,” said CEO and President Mark Jagiela. “While our fourth quarter guidance reflects the normal seasonal slow down in tester deliveries, we are making selective inventory investments to capture the expected growth in 2016 customer demand.”

“Our strong financial results also support our ongoing capital return plan as we repurchased 5.4 million shares for $98.5 million and paid $12.6 million in dividends in the third quarter,” continued Jagiela.

Guidance for the fourth quarter of 2015 is revenue of $295 million to $320 million, with non-GAAP net income of $0.07 to $0.12 per diluted share and GAAP net (loss) income of ($0.01) to $0.04 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible assets amortization and includes the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

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 assets amortization, fair value inventory step-up related to Universal Robots, retired CEO equity charge, non-cash convertible debt interest, discrete income tax adjustments, restructuring and other, and a gain from the sale of an equity investment. 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 fair value inventory step-up related to Universal Robots. 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. Prior to September 29, 2014, non-GAAP diluted shares included the impact of Teradyne’s call option and warrant 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. A reconciliation of each available GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the attached exhibits and on the Teradyne website at www.teradyne.com by clicking on "Investors" and then selecting the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" link.
