NORTH READING, Mass., Jan. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) reported revenue of $732 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 of which $481 million was in Semiconductor Test, $100 million in System Test, $40 million in Wireless Test and $110 million in Industrial Automation (IA). GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $172.3 million or $1.04 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the fourth quarter was $150.8 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, which excluded pension actuarial gains, acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

“We delivered better than expected results in the fourth quarter on higher revenue and gross margins and lower expenses than planned,” said Teradyne CEO Mark Jagiela. “Increased shipments of our Eagle products serving the automotive and industrial chip markets combined with stronger demand for UR cobots in the quarter drove the improved results.” 

Teradyne President Greg Smith added, “Balancing those positive Q4 results, we expect a step down in demand in our Semiconductor and Storage Test markets which will persist at least through the first half of the year as device manufacturers adjust their production to rebalance supply, demand, and inventory levels. This near-term slow-down is consistent with past industry cycles and we believe the long-term drivers of test demand remain firmly in place supported by expanding applications for complex semiconductor devices in compute, mobility, automotive and across the global economy.”

Teradyne’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on March 17, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 17, 2023. The Board also authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program and the company expects to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock in 2023.

Guidance for the first quarter of 2023 is revenue of $550 million to $630 million, with GAAP net income of $0.26 to $0.49 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $0.28 to $0.52 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset 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 and discloses certain revenue at constant currency. 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, restructuring and other, pension actuarial gains and losses, losses on convertible debt conversions, non-cash convertible debt interest, discrete income tax adjustments, and includes the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments. 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 as a percentage of revenue, non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP net income per share are non-GAAP performance 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. Constant currency revenue excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which are required by GAAP. These non-GAAP performance 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 diluted shares include the impact of Teradyne’s call option on its shares. Management believes each of these non-GAAP performance 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.
