NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A. The Company

Teradyne, Inc. (“Teradyne”) is a leading global supplier of automatic test equipment. Teradyne’s automatic test equipment products and services include:

 

   

semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”) systems; and

 

   

military/aerospace (“Mil/Aero”) test instrumentation and systems, hard disk drive test (“HDD”) systems, and circuit-board test and inspection (“Commercial Board Test”) systems (collectively these products represent “Systems Test Group”).

B. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of such interim financial statements. Certain prior year’s amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The December 31, 2010 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2011 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

On March 21, 2011, Teradyne completed the sale of Diagnostic Solutions, its automotive diagnostic and test business unit. The results of operations of Diagnostic Solutions as well as balance sheet and cash flow amounts pertaining to this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note D “Discontinued Operations”).

Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares plus common stock equivalents, if applicable.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2010, net income for diluted net income (loss) per share includes an impact of convertible notes that represents interest expense that would have not been recorded if the notes converted at the beginning of the period. Dilutive potential common shares include incremental shares from assumed conversion of the convertible notes and the convertible notes hedge warrant shares. Incremental shares from assumed

Table of Contents

conversion of the convertible notes are calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the conversion price of $5.48, multiplied by the 34.7 million shares that will be issued upon conversion. The result of this calculation, representing total intrinsic value of the convertible debt, is divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period. Convertible notes hedge warrant shares are calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the warrant price of $7.67, multiplied by the 34.7 million shares that will be issued upon conversion. The result of this calculation, representing total intrinsic value of the warrant, is divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period.

With respect to the Teradyne’s convertible debt, Teradyne intends to settle its conversion spread (i.e., the intrinsic value of the embedded option feature contained in the convertible debt) in shares. Teradyne accounts for its conversion spread using the treasury stock method. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Teradyne determined that it had the ability and intent to settle the principal amount of the convertible debt in cash; accordingly as of the fourth quarter of 2010, the principal amount has been excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share.

C. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2010, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-17, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition”, to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The guidance in this consensus allows the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. The guidance provides a definition of substantive milestone and should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The scope of this consensus is limited to the transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. The consensus is effective prospectively to milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, after June 15, 2010. Teradyne adopted this final consensus prospectively in January 2011. This adoption had no material impact on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU clarifies the concepts related to highest and best use and valuation premise, blockage factors and other premiums and discounts, the fair value measurement of financial instruments held in a portfolio and of those instruments classified as a component of shareowners’ equity. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the use of nonfinancial assets, and the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early application is prohibited. This ASU requires changes in presentation only and Teradyne does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareowners’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. This ASU requires changes in presentation only and Teradyne does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This new guidance is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing by allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test. This

new guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Teradyne does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

D. Discontinued Operations

On March 21, 2011, Teradyne completed the sale of its Diagnostic Solutions business unit, which was included in the Systems Test Group segment, to SPX Corporation for $40.2 million in cash. Teradyne sold this business as its growth potential as a stand-alone business within Teradyne was significantly less than if it was part of a larger automotive supplier. The financial information for Diagnostic Solutions has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Net revenues and income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 were as follows:

E. Financial Instruments and Derivatives

Financial Instruments

Teradyne uses the market and income approach to value its financial instruments and there was no change in valuation techniques used by Teradyne during the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010. As defined in ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10 requires that assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and are classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date. For example, a common approach for valuing fixed income securities is the use of matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not supported by market data. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available, which might include Teradyne’s own data.

For the right to sell the auction rate securities, held by Teradyne, back to UBS (“UBS Put”), Teradyne elected fair value treatment under ASC 825-10, “Financial Instruments.” The UBS Put was the only instrument of this nature or type that Teradyne held and for which Teradyne has elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The UBS Put was exercised in June 2010.

During the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2.

On a quarterly basis, Teradyne reviews its investments to identify and evaluate those that have an indication of a potential other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include:

 

   

The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

 

   

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and

 

   

The intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

As of October 2, 2011, the fair market value of investments with unrealized losses totaled $41.8 million. Of this value, $0.1 million had unrealized losses greater than one year and $41.7 million had unrealized losses less than one year. As of December 31, 2010, the fair market value of investments with unrealized losses totaled $185.3 million. Of this value, $5.0 million had unrealized losses greater than one year and $180.3 million had unrealized losses less than one year.

Derivatives

Teradyne conducts business in a number of foreign countries, with certain transactions denominated in local currencies. The purpose of Teradyne’s foreign currency management is to minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated net monetary assets. Teradyne does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

To minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, Teradyne enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded directly in earnings, and is used to offset the change in fair value of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies was $72.2 million and $82.6 million at October 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

F. Debt

Loan Agreement

On March 31, 2009, Teradyne K.K., Teradyne’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Japan, entered into a loan agreement with a local bank in Japan to borrow approximately $10.0 million. The loan has a term of 5 years and a fixed interest rate of 0.81%. Approximately $6.0 million of the loan is collateralized by a real estate mortgage on Teradyne K.K.’s building and land in Kumamoto, Japan and approximately $4.0 million is unsecured. Teradyne, Inc. has guaranteed payment of the loan obligation. The loan is amortized over the term of the loan with semiannual principal payments of approximately $1.0 million payable on September 30 and March 30 each year. At October 2, 2011, approximately $2.6 million of the outstanding loan principal is included in current debt and approximately $3.9 million is classified as long-term debt.

Convertible Senior Notes

In April 2009, Teradyne issued 4.50% convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) at an aggregate principal amount of $190 million. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2014, unless earlier repurchased by Teradyne or converted. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of Teradyne’s existing and future senior debt and senior to any of Teradyne’s subordinated debt.

The Notes may be converted, under certain circumstances and during certain periods, at an initial conversion rate of approximately 182.65 shares of Teradyne’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.48, a 25% conversion premium based on the last reported sale price of $4.38 per share of Teradyne’s common stock on March 31, 2009. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

During the three months ended October 2, 2011, the following circumstance that allows holders to convert their Notes at their option prior to December 15, 2013 occurred: the last reported sale price of Teradyne’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeded 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. As of November 14, 2011, no holders have exercised their option to convert their Notes.

Concurrently with the offering of the Notes, Teradyne entered into a convertible note hedge transaction with a strike price equal to the initial conversion price of the Notes, or approximately $5.48. The convertible note hedge allows Teradyne to receive shares of its common stock and/or cash related to the excess conversion value that it would pay to the holders of the Notes upon conversion. The convertible note hedges will cover, subject to customary antidilution adjustments, approximately 34,703,196 shares of Teradyne’s common stock. Teradyne paid approximately $64.6 million for the convertible note hedges.

Separately, Teradyne entered into a warrant transaction with a strike price of approximately $7.67 per share, which is 75% higher than the closing price of Teradyne’s common stock on March 31, 2009.

The convertible note hedge and warrant transaction will generally have the effect of increasing the conversion price of the Notes to approximately $7.67 per share of Teradyne’s common stock, representing a 75% conversion premium based upon the closing price of Teradyne’s common stock on March 31, 2009.

The Notes are classified as long-term debt in the balance sheet at October 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The tables below represent the components of Teradyne’s convertible senior notes:

I. Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, Teradyne granted service-based restricted stock units to employees, and service-based stock options and service and performance-based restricted stock units to executive officers. The total number of restricted stock units granted was 1.7 million at a weighted average grant date fair value of $16.20. Restricted stock units vest in equal installments over four years. The percentage level of performance satisfied for performance-based grants is assessed on or near the anniversary of the grant date and, in turn, that percentage level determines the number of performance-based restricted stock units available for vesting over the vesting period; portions of the performance-based grants not available for vesting are forfeited. The total number of stock options granted to executive officers was 0.1 million at a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.74. The stock options vest in equal installments over four years, and have a term of seven years from the date of grant.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2010, Teradyne granted service-based restricted stock units to employees, and service and performance-based restricted stock units and stock options to executive officers. The total number of restricted stock units granted was 2.6 million at a weighted average grant date fair value of $9.42. The total number of stock options granted was 0.3 million at a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.10. Restricted stock units and stock options vest in equal installments over four years. The stock options have a term of seven years from the date of grant.

The fair value of stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     For the Nine Months
Ended
 
     October 2,
2011
    October 3,

Expected life (years)

Interest rate

     1.5     2.4

Volatility-historical

     52.1     48.8

Dividend yield

     0.0     0.0

Teradyne determined the stock options’ expected life based upon historical exercise data for executive officers, the age of the executive officers and the terms of the stock option grant. Volatility was determined using historical volatility for a period equal to the expected life. The risk-free rate was determined using the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted-average fair value of employee stock purchase rights granted in the first and last six months of 2011 was $3.66 and $4.01, respectively, and the first and last six months of 2010 was $3.05 and $2.77, respectively. The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

(1) Income impact of convertible notes for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2010 represents interest expense that would have not been recorded if the notes converted at the beginning of the period.
(2) Incremental shares from assumed conversion of the convertible notes for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 are calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the conversion price of $5.48, multiplied by the 34.7 million shares that will be issued upon conversion. The result of this calculation, representing total intrinsic value of the convertible debt, is divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period. For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2010, incremental shares from assumed conversion of the convertible notes represent the 34.7 million of shares that will be issued upon conversion.

Table of Contents
(3) Convertible notes hedge warrant shares for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 are calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the warrant price of $7.67, multiplied by the 34.7 million shares that will be issued upon conversion. The result of this calculation, representing total intrinsic value of the warrant, is divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period.

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock options to purchase approximately 0.5 million and 0.8 million shares and restricted stock units of 1.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2010 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock options to purchase approximately 4.4 million and 5.5 million shares and restricted stock units of 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

With respect to the Teradyne’s convertible debt, Teradyne intends to settle its conversion spread (i.e., the intrinsic value of the embedded option feature contained in the convertible debt) in shares. Teradyne accounts for its conversion spread using the treasury stock method. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Teradyne determined that it had the ability and intent to settle the principal amount of the convertible debt in cash, accordingly as of the fourth quarter of 2010; the principal amount has been excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Teradyne’s call option on its common stock (convertible note hedge transaction) is excluded from the calculation of diluted shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note F “Debt” regarding convertible note hedge transaction.

M. Restructuring and Other, Net

Restructuring

In response to a downturn in the industry in 2008 and 2009, Teradyne initiated restructuring activities across all segments to reduce costs, principally through headcount reductions and facility consolidations. The tables below represent activity related to these actions. The remaining accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings account on the balance sheet and is expected to be paid by July 2012. The remaining accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in the other accrued liabilities account and the long-term other accrued liabilities account and is expected to be paid over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2013. Teradyne expects to pay approximately $0.9 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Teradyne’s future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $0.6 million as of October 2, 2011.

N. Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Teradyne has defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of domestic employees and employees of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Benefits under these plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation. Teradyne’s funding policy is to make contributions to these plans in accordance with local laws

 

21


Table of Contents

and to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. The assets of these plans consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities. In addition, Teradyne has foreign unfunded defined benefit pension plans and an unfunded supplemental executive defined benefit plan in the United States to provide retirement benefits in excess of levels allowed by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code.

Legal Claims

Teradyne is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

P. Segment Information

Teradyne has two operating segments (Semiconductor Test and Systems Test Group) which are its reportable segments. Each operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with Teradyne’s chief operating decision maker (Teradyne’s chief executive officer) to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, and plans for the segment. The Semiconductor Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of semiconductor test products and services. The Systems Test Group segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of products and services for military/aerospace instrumentation test, hard disk drive test and circuit-board test and inspection.

Teradyne evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income before income taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note B “Accounting Policies” in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Q. Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2010, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $200 million. For the three months ended October 2, 2011, and cumulatively as of October 2, 2011, Teradyne repurchased 2.0 million shares of common stock for $23.9 million at an average price of $12.06.

R. Subsequent Event

On October 5, 2011, Teradyne completed its acquisition of LitePoint Corporation (“LitePoint”) located in Sunnyvale, California, for approximately $510 million, net of LitePoint’s cash and tax benefits, and up to $70 million payable upon achievement of certain performance targets through 2012. The acquisition was completed by acquiring all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of LitePoint. The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired has not been disclosed because Teradyne has not completed the valuation.

LitePoint designs, develops, and supports advanced wireless test solutions for developers of wireless devices and consumer electronics, contract manufacturers, and wireless integrated circuit designers. The acquisition will allow Teradyne to expand its served market into wireless product testing.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts, so called “forward looking statements,” are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Teradyne’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See also Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Overview

We are a leading global supplier of automatic test equipment. We design, develop, manufacture, and sell automatic test systems and solutions used to test complex electronics in the consumer electronics, automotive, computing, telecommunications, and aerospace and defense industries. Our automatic test equipment products and services include:

 

   

semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”) systems; and

 

   

military/aerospace (“Mil/Aero”) test instrumentation and systems, hard disk drive test (“HDD”) systems and circuit-board test and inspection (“Commercial Board Test”) systems (collectively these products represent “Systems Test Group”).

We have a broad customer base which includes integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”), outsourced semiconductor assembly and test providers (“OSATs”), wafer foundries, fabless companies that design, but contract with others for the manufacture of integrated circuits (“ICs”), manufacturers of circuit boards, HDD manufacturers, aerospace and military contractors as well as the United States Department of Defense.

The sales of our products and services are dependent, to a large degree, on customers who are subject to cyclical trends in the demand for their products. These cyclical periods have had, and will continue to have, a significant effect on our business since our customers often delay or accelerate purchases in reaction to changes in their businesses and to demand fluctuations in the semiconductor industry. Historically, these demand fluctuations have resulted in significant variations in our results of operations. This was particularly relevant beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 where we saw a significant decrease in revenue in our Semiconductor Test business which was impacted by the deteriorating global economy, which negatively impacted the entire semiconductor industry. The sharp swings in the semiconductor industry in recent years have generally affected the semiconductor test equipment and services industry more significantly than the overall capital equipment sector.

Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2009, we experienced improvement in our Semiconductor Test business. We believe our acquisitions of Nextest and Eagle Test and our entry into the high speed memory and HDD markets have enhanced our opportunities for growth. We will continue to invest in our business to expand further our addressable markets while tightly managing our costs. As the last seven quarters have demonstrated, with our current cost structure, we can achieve significantly higher profitability than we achieved at comparable revenue levels in the past.

We regularly face price competition in each of our businesses. More recently, we have been subject to greater price competition in the Semiconductor Test segment. We intend to respond to competitive pricing moves as necessary, which may adversely impact our gross margins. Longer term, we will continue to invest in engineering to lower the cost of test which should help mitigate the impacts from aggressive pricing actions.

Table of Contents

On March 21, 2011, we completed the sale of our Diagnostic Solutions business unit, which was included in the Systems Test Group segment, to SPX Corporation for $40.2 million in cash. We sold this business as its growth potential as a stand-alone business was significantly less than if it was part of a larger automotive supplier. The financial information for Diagnostic Solutions has been reclassified to discontinued operations.

On October 5, 2011, we completed our acquisition of LitePoint Corporation (“LitePoint”) for approximately $510 million, net of LitePoint’s cash and tax benefits, and up to $70 million payable upon achievement of certain performance targets through 2012. LitePoint designs, develops, and supports advanced wireless test solutions for the development and manufacturing of wireless devices, including smart phones, tablets, notebooks/laptops, personal computer peripherals, and other Wi-Fi enabled devices.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the policies which are critical to understanding our business and our results of operations. There have been no significant changes during the nine months ended October 2, 2011 to the items disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

The decrease of $206.9 million or 46% in Semiconductor Test revenue was due to a decrease across all System-on-Chip and memory product sales partially offset by an increase in System-on-Chip service revenue. The increase in Systems Test Group revenue of $59.9 million or 139% was primarily due to the increase in sales of Hard Disk Drive test systems.

Our revenues by region as a percentage of total net revenue were as follows:

We assess the carrying value of our inventory on a quarterly basis by estimating future demand and comparing that demand against on-hand and on-order inventory positions. Forecasted revenue information is obtained from the sales and marketing groups and incorporates factors such as backlog and future revenue demand. This quarterly process identifies obsolete and excess inventory. Obsolete inventory, which represents items for which there is no demand, is fully reserved. Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are not expected to be consumed during the next four quarters, is written-down to estimated net realizable value.

During the three months ended October 2, 2011, we recorded an inventory provision of $4.4 million included in cost of revenues, due to the downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels. Of the $4.4 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded in the three months ended October 2, 2011, $4.2 million was related to Semiconductor Test and $0.2 million was related to Systems Test Group.

During the three months ended October 3, 2010, we recorded an inventory provision of $3.7 million included in cost of revenues, due to the downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels. Of the $3.7 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded in the three months ended October 3, 2010, $3.5 million was related to Semiconductor Test and $0.2 million was related to Systems Test Group.

During the three months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, we scrapped $4.2 million and $1.6 million of inventory, respectively. During the three months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, we sold $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of previously written-down or written-off inventory. As of October 2, 2011, we had inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off totaling $125.1 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

Restructuring and Other, Net

Restructuring

In response to a downturn in the industry in 2008 and 2009, we initiated restructuring activities across all segments to reduce costs, principally through headcount reductions and facility consolidations. The tables below represent activity related to these actions. The remaining accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings account on the balance sheet and is expected to be paid by July 2012. The remaining accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in the other accrued liabilities account and the long-term other accrued liabilities account and is expected to be paid over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2013. We expect to pay approximately $0.9 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $0.6 million as of October 2, 2011.

Pre-2009 Actions:

 

   

$(2.4) million credit related to the early exit of previously impaired leased facilities in Westford, Massachusetts.

Other

During the three months ended October 2, 2011, Teradyne recorded a $1.3 million of acquisition costs.

Interest and Other

Interest income increased by $1.6 million, from the third quarter of 2010 to 2011, due primarily to a gain from sales of marketable securities.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended October 2, 2011, we recorded a tax provision of $1.8 million from continuing operations, which consisted of U.S. state and foreign taxes. For the three months ended October 3, 2010, we recorded a tax provision of $6.6 million from continuing operations, which consisted primarily of foreign taxes. Due to the continued uncertainty of realization, we have maintained our valuation allowance at October 2, 2011 for deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Singapore. We will continue to assess the level of the valuation allowance required in future periods. Should more positive than negative evidence regarding the realizability of tax attributes exist in a future period, the valuation allowance may be reduced or eliminated altogether. The factors and evidence being considered include, but are not limited to, the cumulative profit or loss position, the amount and extent of future projected earnings, changes in our business (including mergers and acquisitions) and volatility of the industries we operate in, primarily the semiconductor industry. We may have sufficient positive evidence in the near term that may result in the reduction of the valuation allowance. Reduction of the valuation allowance, in whole or in part, would result in a significant non-cash income tax benefit during the period of reduction.

Percent of Total Revenue

     51.0     55.1     (4.1

The decrease of 4.1 points was the result of a decrease of 3.1 points related to product mix primarily from higher Hard Disk Drive test system sales, a decrease of 0.6 points due to higher inventory provisions and a decrease of 0.4 points due to lower volume.

We assess the carrying value of our inventory on a quarterly basis by estimating future demand and comparing that demand against on-hand and on-order inventory positions. Forecasted revenue information is obtained from the sales and marketing groups and incorporates factors such as backlog and future revenue demand. This quarterly process identifies obsolete and excess inventory. Obsolete inventory, which represents items for which there is no demand, is fully reserved. Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are not expected to be consumed during the next four quarters, is written-down to estimated net realizable value.

During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, we recorded an inventory provision of $10.8 million included in cost of revenues due to the downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels. Of the $10.8 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded in the nine months ended October 2, 2011, $10.2 million was related to Semiconductor Test and $0.6 million was related to Systems Test Group.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2010, we recorded an inventory provision of $5.2 million included in cost of revenues, due to the downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels. Of the $5.2 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded in the nine months ended October 3, 2010, $4.0 million was related to Semiconductor Test and $1.2 million was related to Systems Test Group.

During the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, we scrapped $6.8 million and $3.6 million of inventory, respectively. During the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, we sold $5.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of previously written-down or written-off inventory. As of October 2, 2011, we had inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off totaling $125.1 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

In response to a downturn in the industry in 2008 and 2009, we initiated restructuring activities across all segments to reduce costs, principally through headcount reductions and facility consolidations. The tables below represent activity related to these actions. The remaining accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings account on the balance sheet and is expected to be paid by July 2012. The remaining accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in the other accrued liabilities account and the long-term other accrued liabilities account and is expected to be paid over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2013. We expect to pay approximately $0.9 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $0.6 million as of October 2, 2011.

Q3 2010 Actions:

 

   

$0.1 million related to a change in the estimated severance benefits related to headcount reduction activities across both segments.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2010, we recorded restructuring charges related to ongoing efforts to lower expenses and our cost structure and an additional charge due to a change in estimated severance benefits related to a prior period activity. The restructuring charges consisted of the following activities:

Q3 2010 Actions:

 

   

$0.4 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions of 10 people in Systems Test Group.

Q2 2010 Actions:

 

   

$0.7 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions of approximately 6 people in Systems Test Group

Q1 2010 Actions:

 

   

$0.4 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions of 4 people in Semiconductor Test.

Q2 2009 Actions:

 

   

$0.2 million related to a change in the estimated severance benefits related to headcount reduction activities across both segments.

Pre-2009 Actions:

 

   

$(2.4) million credit related to the early exit of previously impaired leased facilities in Westford, Massachusetts.

Other

During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, we recorded $1.3 million of acquisition costs, and $0.9 million charge related to a non-U.S. pension settlement.

Interest and Other

Interest expense and other decreased by $2.1 million, from the first nine months of 2010 to 2011, primarily due to a loss on the exercise of the auction rate securities related UBS Put recorded in the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by higher convertible debt discount amortization in 2011.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended October 2, 2011, we recorded a tax provision of $15.1 million from continuing operations, which consisted of U.S. state and foreign taxes. For the nine months ended October 3, 2010, we recorded a tax provision of $20.9 million from continuing operations, which consisted primarily of foreign taxes. Due to the continued uncertainty of realization, we have maintained our valuation allowance at October 2, 2011 for deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Singapore. We will continue to assess the level of the valuation allowance required in future periods. Should more positive than negative evidence regarding the realizability of tax attributes exist in a future period, the valuation allowance may be reduced or eliminated altogether. The factors and evidence being considered include, but are not limited to, the cumulative profit or loss position, the amount and extent of future projected earnings, changes in our business (including mergers and acquisitions) and volatility of the industries we operate in, primarily the semiconductor industry. We may have sufficient positive evidence in the near term that may result in the reduction of the valuation allowance. Reduction of the valuation allowance, in whole or in part, would result in a significant non-cash income tax benefit during the period of reduction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance increased by $176.9 million in the first nine months of 2011, to $1.2 billion. Cash activity for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 was as follows:

In the nine months ended October 2, 2011, changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of businesses sold, used cash of $104.6 million. This was due to a $10.6 million decrease in operating assets and a $115.2 million decrease in operating liabilities.

 

37


Table of Contents

The decrease in operating assets was due to a $25.2 million decrease in accounts receivable resulting from increased collections, partially offset by a $13.6 million increase in prepayments due primarily to supplier prepayments and a $1.0 million increase in inventories. The decrease in operating liabilities was due to a $53.3 million decrease in customer advance payments due to shipments of systems prepaid by customers, a $43.9 million decrease in accrued employee compensation due primarily to variable compensation payments, $6.4 million of retirement plan contributions, a $5.0 million decrease in deferred revenue, a $3.4 million decrease in accounts payable due to decreased sales volume, and a $3.1 million decrease in accrued income taxes.

Investing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2011 provided cash of $452.9 million, due to $1,112.8 million proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $593.3 million used for purchases of marketable securities and $66.6 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Financing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2011 used cash of $9.2 million, due to the repurchase of 2.0 million shares of common stock for $23.9 million at an average price of $12.06 per share, $2.5 million for payments on long-term debt, partially offset by $17.2 million from the issuance of common stock under stock option and stock purchase plans.

In the nine months ended October 3, 2010, changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of businesses sold, used cash of $35.2 million. This was due to a $170.3 million increase in operating assets and a $135.1 million increase in operating liabilities. The increase in operating assets was due to an increase in accounts receivable of $181.0 million due to higher sales volume, partially offset by a $9.7 million decrease in inventories due to higher sales volume, and a decrease in prepayments and other assets of $1.0 million. The increase in operating liabilities was due to a $68.5 million increase in customer advance payments, a $66.6 million increase in accounts payable, a $30.1 million increase in accrued employee compensation due to higher variable compensation, a $14.6 million increase in accrued income taxes, and a $7.5 million increase in deferred revenue, partially offset by $50.8 million of retirement plan contributions and a 1.4 million decrease in other accrued liabilities.

Investing activities during the nine months ended October 3, 2010 used cash of $412.5 million, due to $478.2 million used for purchases of marketable securities and $54.0 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by proceeds from sales of marketable securities that provided cash of $118.6 million, and proceeds from life insurance that provided cash of $1.1 million.

Financing activities during the nine months ended October 3, 2010 provided cash of $39.9 million, $42.2 million was from the issuance of common stock under stock option and stock purchase plans which was partially offset by $2.3 million of cash used for payments on long-term debt.

On October 5, 2011, Teradyne completed its acquisition of LitePoint for approximately $510 million, net of LitePoint’s cash and tax benefits, and up to $70 million payable upon achievement of certain performance targets through 2012. The $510 million was paid in cash. The $70 million performance payment, if earned, may be paid in cash or in stock.

We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance following the acquisition of LitePoint will be sufficient to meet working capital and expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. We do not have significant cash outside the U.S. that if repatriated would incur additional taxes. In addition, the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in the U.S. and our operations in the U.S. provide sufficient liquidity to fund our business activities in the U.S. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

Equity Compensation Plans

As discussed in Note M “Stock Based Compensation” in our 2010 Form 10-K, we have a 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and a 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”).

 

38


Table of Contents

The purpose of the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees of Teradyne. The purpose of the 2006 Equity Plan is to provide equity ownership and compensation opportunities in Teradyne to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and/or advisors. Both plans were approved by our shareholders.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2010, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update 2010-17, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition”, to Accounting Standards Codification 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The guidance in this consensus allows the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. The guidance provides a definition of substantive milestone and should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The scope of this consensus is limited to the transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. The consensus is effective prospectively to milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, after June 15, 2010. We adopted this final consensus prospectively in January 2011 and the adoption had no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU clarifies the concepts related to highest and best use and valuation premise, blockage factors and other premiums and discounts, the fair value measurement of financial instruments held in a portfolio and of those instruments classified as a component of shareowners’ equity. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the use of nonfinancial assets, and the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early application is prohibited. This ASU requires changes in presentation only and we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareowners’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. This ASU requires changes in presentation only and we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This new guidance is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing by allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test. This new guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” affecting Teradyne, see Item 7a. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2011. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those set forth in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Item 1A: Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K remain applicable to our business with the addition of new risk factors set forth below.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We may not fully realize the benefits of our acquisitions or strategic alliances.

In October 2011, we acquired LitePoint Corporation (“LitePoint”). We may not be able to realize the benefit of acquiring LitePoint or successfully grow LitePoint’s business. We may continue to acquire additional businesses, form strategic alliances or create joint ventures with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing businesses. We may not be able to realize the expected synergies and cost savings from the integration with our existing operations of other businesses or technologies that we may acquire. In addition, the integration process for our acquisitions may be complex, costly and time consuming and include unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities. We may have difficulty in developing, manufacturing and marketing the products of a newly acquired company in a manner that enhances the performance of our combined businesses or product lines and allows us to realize value from expected synergies. Following an acquisition, we may not achieve the revenue or net income levels that justify the acquisition. Acquisitions may also result in one-time charges (such as acquisition-related expenses, write-offs or restructuring charges) or in the future, impairment of goodwill, that adversely affect our operating results. Additionally, we may fund acquisitions of new businesses, strategic alliances or joint ventures by utilizing our cash, raising debt, issuing shares of our common stock, or by other means.

The recent natural disaster in Japan could disrupt our operations and those of our customers and adversely affect our results of operations.

The recent events in Japan, including earthquakes, tsunamis and the related damage, have created economic uncertainty in that country. The combined effect of these events could impact short-term, end-user demand, disrupt our global supply chain for components manufactured in Japan, increase the cost of components that we acquire due to reduced supply, as well as cause other unforeseen effects to our business. As a result of the events in Japan, we purchased buffer inventory for certain components that are sourced in Japan and we may make additional inventory purchases in the future. Based on a review of our global supply chain and the customers’ test facilities we serve in Japan, we do not expect a significant impact on our long-term ability to manufacture and sell our products, however, this situation remains uncertain and there can be no assurance that an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results will not result from these events.

Our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers are subject to risks of natural catastrophic events, widespread health epidemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks and the threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks, any one of which could result in cancellation of orders, delays in deliveries or other business activities, or loss of customers and could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is international in nature, with our sales, service and administrative personnel and our customers and suppliers located in numerous countries throughout the world. Our operations and those of our customers and suppliers are subject to disruption for a variety of reasons, including work stoppages, acts of war,

 

41


Table of Contents

terrorism, health epidemics, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, energy shortages, telecommunication failures, tsunamis, flooding or other natural disasters. Such disruption could materially increase our costs and expenses as well as cause delays in, among other things, shipments of products to our customers, our ability to perform services requested by our customers, or the installation and acceptance of our products at customer sites. Any of these conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

 

Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In November 2007, Teradyne’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a $400 million stock repurchase program. The cumulative repurchases under this program as of December 31, 2008 totaled 8.5 million shares of common stock for $102.6 million at an average price of $12.14 per share. As of November 4, 2008, the Board suspended the stock repurchase program.

In November 2010, the Board cancelled the November 2007 stock repurchase program and authorized a new stock repurchase program for up to $200 million. The cumulative repurchases as of October 2, 2011 totaled 2.0 million shares of common stock for $23.9 million at an average price of $12.06.

The following table includes information with respect to repurchases we made of our common stock during the quarter ended October 2, 2011 (in thousands except per share price):

We satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation due upon the vesting and the conversion of restricted stock units into shares of our common stock, by automatically withholding from the shares being issued a number of shares with an aggregate fair market value on the date of such vesting and conversion that would satisfy the withholding amount due.
