Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) reported revenue of $513 million for the second quarter of 2015 of which $400 million was in Semiconductor Test, $63 million in Wireless Test, $46 million in System Test and $4 million in Industrial Automation. Industrial Automation consists of Universal Robots’ results from June 12 through July 5, 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the second quarter was $114.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments. GAAP net income for the second quarter was $102.9 million or $0.48 per share.

Orders in the second quarter of 2015 were $529 million of which $395 million were in Semiconductor Test, $84 million in Wireless Test, $45 million in System Test, and $5 million in Industrial Automation.

“We delivered strong sales and earnings growth in the second quarter driven by across the board strength in all business segments,” said CEO and President Mark Jagiela. “Our alignment to the strongest segments of the semiconductor test market, improving storage test shipments and seasonally strong wireless test demand combined to deliver a 29% operating margin in the second quarter, the highest in three years. In addition to the strength of our core test businesses, we are especially excited to welcome Universal Robots (UR) to Teradyne. UR enables us to quickly bring the power of advanced automation to our system and wireless test customers while providing Teradyne a powerful, long term growth driver serving the emerging collaborative robot market.”

“In line with our strategy to balance strong additions to Teradyne with direct capital returns, we paid $13 million in dividends and returned $82 million with the repurchase of 4.1 million shares in the second quarter,” said Jagiela.

Guidance for the third quarter of 2015 is revenue of $450 million to $480 million, with non-GAAP net income of $0.35 to $0.41 per diluted share and GAAP net income of $0.27 to $0.33 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization and includes the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

Webcast

A conference call to discuss the second quarter results, along with management's business outlook, will follow at 10 a.m. ET, Thursday, July 30. Interested investors should access the webcast at www.teradyne.com and click on "Investors" at least five minutes before the call begins.

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, 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.
