B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its wholly owned 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 statement of such interim financial statements. The December 31, 2023, condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2024, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to inventories, investments, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, accounts receivable, income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, pensions, warranties, contingent consideration liabilities, and loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on appropriate and customary assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Equity Method Investments

Teradyne accounts for investments using the equity method of accounting when it has significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but not control, of the investee. The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and included in ‘Equity method investment’ in the consolidated balance sheet. Teradyne records its share of investee's net income or loss and other comprehensive income, and the amortization of equity method basis difference, calculated as the difference between the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets acquired, on a 3-month lag, which is applied consistently from period to period. Teradyne's share of investee's net income and the amortization of equity method basis difference are reported in ‘Equity in net earnings of affiliate’ in the consolidated statement of operations. Teradyne includes its share of investee's other comprehensive income

and a cumulative translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Teradyne monitors on an ongoing basis its equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in fair value below carrying value.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which will require Teradyne to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") on an annual and interim basis as well as provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, Teradyne will be required to disclose the title and position of the CODM. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will have no impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Upon adoption, Teradyne will apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior period disclosures presented in the financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires expanded disclosures relating to the tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) and income tax expense (benefit), requiring a greater disaggregation of information for each. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. This ASU will have no impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, Teradyne recognized $21.9 million and $91.3 million, respectively, that was included within the deferred revenue and customer advances balances at the beginning of the period. This revenue primarily relates to undelivered hardware, extended warranties, training, application support, and post contract support. Each of these represents a distinct performance obligation. As of September 29, 2024, Teradyne had $1,045.4 million of unsatisfied performance obligations. Teradyne expects to recognize approximately 93% of the remaining performance obligations in the next 12 months and the remainder in 1-3 years.

Deferred revenue and customer advances consist of the following and are included in short and long-term deferred revenue and customer advances on the balance sheet:


	September 29, 2024		December 31, 2023
	(in thousands)
Maintenance, service and training	$	57,866	$	66,458
Customer advances, undelivered elements and other		44,116		35,731

Total deferred revenue and customer advances	$	140,911	$	137,086

Accounts Receivable

During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne sold certain trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions pursuant to factoring agreements. During the three months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreements were $36.1 million and $94.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreements were $116.8 million and $191.2 million, respectively. Factoring fees for the sales of receivables were recorded in interest expense and were not material. Teradyne accounted for these transactions as sales of receivables and presented cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

E. DISPOSITIONS

On May 27, 2024, Teradyne completed the sale of the Device Interface Solutions ("DIS") business, a component of the Semiconductor Test segment, to Technoprobe S.p.A. ("Technoprobe") for $85.0 million in cash, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, and a customary working capital adjustment. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $57.5 million recorded as 'Gain on sale of business' in the consolidated statement of operations. The transaction did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation, as it did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on operations and financial results.

Assets and liabilities related to the DIS sale agreement met the criteria and were classified as held for sale in Teradyne’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, as follows:


	December 31, 2023

Current assets:
Inventories, net	$	17,952
Prepayments		5,298
Total current assets held for sale		23,250
Property, plant and equipment, net		8,986
Operating lease right-of-use assets, net		2,545
Total assets held for sale	$	34,781

Current liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	6,356
Other accrued liabilities		552
Operating lease liabilities		471
Total current liabilities held for sale		7,379
Long-term operating lease liabilities		2,000
Total liabilities held for sale	$	9,379
Net assets held for sale	$	25,402

F. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

On May 27, 2024, Teradyne paid $524.1 million to purchase a combination of previously issued and outstanding shares and shares newly issued by Technoprobe, S.p.A. ("Technoprobe"). The shares purchased represent 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Technoprobe. Teradyne also received a board seat as part of the purchase. Teradyne accounts for this investment using the

equity method as a result of being able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Technoprobe. As of September 29, 2024, $538.4 million was recorded as 'Equity method investment' in the consolidated balance sheets.


	(in thousands)
Balance at June 30, 2024	$	524,060
Other comprehensive income related to investment		15,366
Equity in net earnings of affiliate		(1,075	)
Balance at September 29, 2024	$	538,351

Based on the quoted closing price of Technoprobe stock as of September 29, 2024, the fair value of the publicly traded investment was $471.8 million, and there was no other-than-temporary impairment identified.

Teradyne's equity method basis difference was calculated as the difference between the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets acquired. The equity method basis difference calculated at acquisition attributable to developed technology, customer relationships, trade name, property, plant and equipment, inventory, and deferred tax liability was $204.7 million. The basis differences, net of tax, will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Teradyne made an accounting policy election to report its share of Technoprobe's results on a 3-month lag, which is applied consistently from period to period. Teradyne records its share of Technoprobe's net income or loss and the amortization of equity method basis difference, as 'Equity in net earnings of affiliate' in the consolidated statements of operations. Teradyne includes its share of Technoprobe's other comprehensive income and a cumulative translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

G. INVENTORIES

Inventories, net consisted of the following at September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

Derivatives

Teradyne conducts business in various foreign countries, with certain transactions denominated in local currencies. As a result, Teradyne is exposed to risks relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Teradyne’s foreign currency risk management objective is to minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and changes in its cash inflows attributable to the forecasted cash flows from certain foreign currency denominated revenues.

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 value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Teradyne also enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the risk of changes in its cash inflows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The cash flow hedges have maturities of less than six months and mature in the period of revenue recognition for certain products and services in backlog and forecasted to be recognized in a future period. Teradyne evaluates cash flow hedges for effectiveness at inception based on the critical terms match method. The hedges are not expected to incur any ineffectiveness however a quarterly qualitative assessment of effectiveness is done to determine if the critical terms match method remains appropriate to use. The change in fair value of the contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings at maturity date.

Teradyne does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

At September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Teradyne had the following contracts to buy and sell non-U.S. currencies for U.S. dollars and other non-U.S. currencies with the following notional amounts:

See Note I: “Debt” regarding derivatives related to the convertible senior notes.

I. DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes

On December 12, 2016, Teradyne completed a private offering of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) and received net proceeds, after issuance costs, of approximately $450.8 million, $33.0 million of which was used to pay the net cost of the convertible note hedge transactions and $50.1 million of which was used to repurchase 2.0 million shares of Teradyne’s common stock under its existing stock repurchase program from purchasers of the Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliates conducted concurrently with the pricing of the Note offering. The Notes bore interest at a rate of 1.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Notes matured on December 15, 2023.

Concurrent with the offering of the Notes, Teradyne entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with the initial purchasers or their affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedge Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the common stock that underlie the Notes. Separately and concurrent with the pricing of the Notes, Teradyne entered into warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties (the “Warrant Transactions”) in which it sold net-share-settled (or, at its election subject to certain conditions, cash-settled) warrants to the Option Counterparties. These transactions have been accounted for as an adjustment to Teradyne's shareholders’ equity. The Warrant Transactions, which began expiring March 18, 2024, and continued to expire through July 10, 2024, covered, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, 1.3 million and 14.7 million warrants expired, resulting in the issuance of 1.2 million and 10.0 million shares of Teradyne common stock, respectively. As of the final date of expiration, July 10, 2024, the strike price of the warrants was approximately $39.35 per shares.

The Warrant Transactions resulted in additional shares of Teradyne’s common stock being issued to the extent that the market price per share of Teradyne’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.

The interest expense on Teradyne's senior notes for three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, was as follows:

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 1, 2020, Teradyne entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provided for a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 million (the “Credit Facility”).

On December 10, 2021, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility to December 10, 2026. On October 5, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the amount of the Credit Facility to $750.0 million from $400.0 million. On November 7, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to allow for the purchase of the shares of Technoprobe.

The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to customary conditions, Teradyne may seek to obtain from existing or new lenders the available incremental amount under the Credit Facility, not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million or 15% of consolidated EBIDTA. The interest rate applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are, at Teradyne’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum or SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.85% per annum, based on the consolidated leverage ratio of Teradyne. In addition, Teradyne will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% per annum, based on the then applicable consolidated leverage ratio.

Teradyne is not required to repay any loans under the Credit Facility prior to maturity, subject to certain customary exceptions. Teradyne is permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Credit Facility prior to maturity without premium or penalty, other than customary SOFR breakage costs.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit Teradyne’s ability to sell assets, grant liens on assets, incur other secured indebtedness and make certain investments and restricted payments, all subject to exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires Teradyne to satisfy two financial ratios measured at the end of each fiscal quarter: a consolidated leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of Teradyne’s domestic subsidiaries and collateralized by assets of Teradyne and such subsidiaries, including a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries.

On May 16, 2024, Teradyne borrowed $185.0 million under the Credit Agreement to support the acquisition of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Technoprobe. Teradyne fully repaid its borrowings on the revolving credit facility prior to September 29, 2024. There was no outstanding revolver balance as of September 29, 2024.

As of November 1, 2024, the Credit Facility was undrawn, and Teradyne was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

L. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On February 1, 2023 (the “Retirement Date”), Mark E. Jagiela retired as Chief Executive Officer of Teradyne and a member of Teradyne’s Board of Directors, and Teradyne entered into an agreement (the “Retirement Agreement”) with Mr. Jagiela. Under the Retirement Agreement, Mr. Jagiela’s unvested time-based restricted stock units and stock options granted prior to his Retirement Date were modified to allow continued vesting; and any vested options or options that vest during that period may be exercised for the remainder of the applicable option term. During the nine months ended October 1, 2023, Teradyne recorded a stock-based compensation expense of $5.9 million related to the Retirement Agreement.

Under Teradyne’s stock compensation plans, Teradyne grants time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options, and employees are eligible to purchase Teradyne’s common stock through its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Service-based restricted stock unit awards granted to employees vest in equal annual installments over four years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to non-employee directors vest after a one-year period, with 100% of the award vesting on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the grant date or (b) the date of the following year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Teradyne expenses the cost of the restricted stock unit awards subject to time-based vesting, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.

Performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) granted to Teradyne’s executive officers may have a performance metric based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR”). Teradyne’s three-year TSR performance is measured against the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Composite Index. The final number of TSR PRSUs that vest will vary based upon the level of performance achieved from 0% to 200% of the target shares. The TSR PRSUs will vest upon the three-year anniversary of the grant date. The TSR PRSUs are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The number of units expected to be earned, based upon the achievement of the TSR market condition, is factored into the grant date Monte Carlo valuation. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the three-year service period or the period from the grant to the date described in the retirement provisions below. Compensation expense for executive officers meeting the retirement provisions prior to the grant date is recognized during the year following the grant. Compensation expense is recognized regardless of the eventual number of units that are earned based upon the market condition, provided the executive officer remains an employee at the end of the three-year period. Compensation expense is reversed if at any time during the three-year service period the executive officer is no longer an employee, subject to the retirement and termination eligibility provisions noted below.

PRSUs granted to Teradyne’s executive officers may also have a performance metric based on three-year cumulative non-GAAP profit before interest and tax (“PBIT”) as a percent of Teradyne’s revenue. Non-GAAP PBIT is a financial measure equal to GAAP income from operations less restructuring and other, net; amortization of acquired intangible assets; acquisition and divestiture related charges or credits; pension actuarial gains and losses; non-cash convertible debt interest expense; and other non-recurring gains and charges. The final number of PBIT PRSUs that vest will vary based upon the level of performance achieved from 0% to 200% of the target shares. The PBIT PRSUs will vest upon the three-year anniversary of the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the three-year service period or the period from the grant date to the date described in the retirement provisions below. Compensation expense for executive officers meeting the retirement provisions prior to the grant date is recognized during the year following the grant. Compensation expense is recognized based on the number of units that are earned based upon the three-year Teradyne PBIT as a percent of Teradyne’s revenue, provided the executive officer remains an employee at the end of the three-year period subject to the retirement and termination eligibility provisions noted below.

If a PRSU recipient’s employment ends prior to the determination of the performance percentage due to (1) death or (2) after attaining both at least age sixty and at least ten years of service, retirement or termination other than for cause, then all or a portion of the recipient’s PRSUs (based on the actual performance percentage achieved on the determination date) will vest on the date the performance percentage is determined. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no PRSUs will vest if the executive officer is no longer an employee at the end of the three-year period. Stock options to purchase Teradyne’s common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the grant date vest in equal annual installments over four years from the grant date and have a maximum term of seven years.

On January 22, 2024, the Board enacted the Executive Retirement Policy for Restricted Stock Unit and Option Vesting (the "Retirement Policy"). Under the Retirement Policy, an executive officer that is over the age of 65 and has 10 or more years of service as of the effective date of his or her retirement will be eligible for continued vesting of his or her unvested time-based restricted stock units and stock options granted prior to his or her retirement date.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne granted 0.6 million and 0.5 million of service-based restricted stock unit awards to employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of $95.98 and $102.66, respectively, and less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million of service-based restricted stock unit awards to non-employee directors at a weighted average grant date fair value of $120.38 and $90.50, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne granted 0.1 million and 0.1 million of PBIT PRSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $94.51 and $102.91, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne granted 0.1 million and 0.1 million of TSR PRSUs, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $102.51 and $139.04, respectively. The grant date fair value was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2024			October 1, 2023
Risk-free interest rate		3.9	%		4.0	%
Teradyne volatility-historical		42.4	%		49.7	%
NYSE Composite Index volatility-historical		15.6	%		24.1	%
Dividend yield		0.5	%		0.4	%

Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of Teradyne’s stock and the NYSE Composite Index over the most recent three-year period. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the applicable grant. Dividend yield was based upon an estimated annual dividend amount of $0.48 per share divided by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant dates, which have a weighted average grant date stock price of $95.83 for the 2024 grants, and an estimated annual dividend amount of $0.44 per share divided by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant date of $104.12 for the 2023 grant.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne granted 0.1 million and 0.1 million of service-based stock options to executive officers at a weighted average grant date fair value of $37.50 and $41.23, respectively.

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


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2024			October 1, 2023
Expected life (years)		4.0			4.0
Risk-free interest rate		4.0	%		3.8	%
Volatility-historical		46.3	%		46.6	%
Dividend yield		0.5	%		0.4	%

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 interest rate was determined using the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Dividend yield was based upon an estimated annual dividend amount of $0.48 per share divided by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant date of $95.14 for the 2024 grant and an estimated annual dividend amount of $0.44 per share divided by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant date of $104.15 for the 2023 grant.

N. GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Teradyne performs its annual goodwill impairment test as required under the provisions of ASC 350-10, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” on December 31 of each fiscal year unless interim indicators of impairment exist. In the nine months ended September 29, 2024, there were no interim indicators of impairment. Goodwill is considered impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segments for the nine months ended September 29, 2024, were as follows:

O. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2024		October 1, 2023		September 29, 2024		October 1, 2023
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)				(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income for basic and diluted net income per share	$	145,649	$	128,116	$	396,119	$	331,698
Weighted average common shares-basic		163,002		153,762		157,951		154,809
Effect of dilutive potential common shares:

Employee stock purchase plan		10		10		5		8
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of convertible notes (2)		—		629		—		762
Dilutive potential common shares		1,251		10,288		5,406		10,228
Weighted average common shares-diluted		164,253		164,050		163,357		165,037
Net income per common share-basic	$	0.89	$	0.83	$	2.51	$	2.14
Net income per common share-diluted	$	0.89	$	0.78	$	2.42	$	2.01

(1)

Convertible notes hedge warrant shares were calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the warrant price, multiplied by the number of warrant shares. The result of this calculation, representing the total intrinsic value of the warrant, was divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period.

(2)

Incremental shares from assumed conversion of the convertible notes were calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the conversion price, multiplied by the number of convertible notes shares. The result of this calculation, representing the total intrinsic value of the convertible notes, was 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 September 29, 2024, excludes the effect of the potential vesting of 0.1 million and 0.5 million, respectively, of restricted stock units 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 1, 2023, excludes the effect of the potential vesting of 0.1 million and 0.4 million, respectively, of restricted stock units because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

P. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

During the three months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne recorded restructuring and other charges primarily related to $1.3 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions principally in Robotics.

During the three months ended October 1, 2023, Teradyne recorded restructuring and other charges primarily related to $4.7 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions of 94 people, principally in Semiconductor Test and Robotics, which included charges related to a voluntary early retirement program for employees meeting certain conditions, and a $1.5 million contract termination charge.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne recorded restructuring and other charges primarily related to $5.3 million of severance and other charges, related to headcount reductions of 87 people primarily in Robotics and Semiconductor Test, which included charges related to a voluntary early retirement program for employees meeting certain conditions, and $2.2 million of acquisition and divestiture expenses related to the Technoprobe transactions.

During the nine months ended October 1, 2023, Teradyne recorded restructuring and other charges primarily related to $11.8 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions of 197 people, primarily in Semiconductor Test and Robotics, which included which included charges related to a voluntary early retirement program for employees meeting certain conditions, a $1.5 million contract termination charge, and a charge of $1.1 million for an increase in environmental liability.

Q. RETIREMENT PLANS

ASC 715, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits,” requires an employer with defined benefit plans or other postretirement benefit plans to recognize an asset or a liability on its balance sheet for the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans as defined by ASC 715. The pension asset or liability represents a difference between the fair value of the pension plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation at December 31. Teradyne uses a December 31 measurement date for all its 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 and to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. The assets of the U.S. qualified pension plan consist primarily of fixed income and equity securities. In addition, Teradyne has 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 (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), as well as unfunded qualified foreign plans.

During the three months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne purchased a group annuity contract for its retiree participants in the U.S. qualified pension plan. Under the group annuity, the accrued pension obligation for 132 retiree participants were transferred to an insurance company. The reduction in the pension benefit obligation and pension assets was $23.4 million. During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne recorded settlement expense of $0.4 million related to the retiree group annuity transaction.

In the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne contributed $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan, and $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, to certain qualified pension plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries.

For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne’s net periodic pension cost was comprised of the following:


	For the Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2024						October 1, 2023
	United States			Foreign			United States			Foreign

Postretirement Benefit Plan

In addition to receiving pension benefits, Teradyne employees in the United States who meet early retirement eligibility requirements as of their termination dates may participate in Teradyne’s Welfare Plan, which includes medical and dental benefits up to age 65. Death benefits provide a fixed sum to retirees’ survivors and are available to all retirees. Substantially all of Teradyne’s current U.S. employees could become eligible for these benefits and the existing benefit obligation relates predominantly to those

employees. During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne recorded special termination benefit charges associated with a voluntary early retirement program.

For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, Teradyne’s net periodic postretirement benefit cost was comprised of the following:


	For the Three Months Ended						For the Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2024			October 1, 2023			September 29, 2024			October 1, 2023

R. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

As of September 29, 2024, Teradyne had entered into purchase commitments for certain components and materials. The purchase commitments covered by the agreements aggregate to approximately $458.1 million, of which $445.9 million is for less than one year.

Legal Claims

Teradyne is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Teradyne believes that it has meritorious defenses against all pending claims and intends to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of any pending claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the potential losses associated with all of these actions are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

Teradyne provides indemnification, to the extent permitted by law, to its officers, directors, employees and agents for liabilities arising from certain events or occurrences, while the officer, director, employee, or agent, is or was serving, at Teradyne’s request in such capacity. Teradyne may enter into indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors. With respect to acquisitions, Teradyne provides indemnifications to or assumes indemnification obligations for the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired companies in accordance with the acquired companies’ by-laws and charter. As a matter of practice, Teradyne has maintained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage including coverage for directors and officers of acquired companies.

Teradyne enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators, and suppliers. Most of these agreements require Teradyne to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to Teradyne’s products. From time to time, Teradyne also indemnifies customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, breach of confidentiality obligations and environmental claims relating to the use of Teradyne’s products and services or resulting from the acts or omissions of Teradyne, its employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. On occasion, Teradyne has also provided guarantees to customers regarding the delivery and performance of its products in addition to the warranty described below.

As a matter of ordinary course of business, Teradyne warrants that its products will substantially perform in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery. Most warranties have a one-year duration commencing from installation. A provision is recorded upon revenue recognition to cost of revenues for estimated warranty expense based upon historical experience. When Teradyne receives revenue for extended warranties beyond the standard duration, the revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Related costs are expensed as incurred. As of September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Teradyne had a product warranty accrual of $13.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively, included in other

accrued liabilities and revenue deferrals related to extended warranties of $38.9 million and $34.9 million, respectively, included in short and long-term deferred revenue and customer advances.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, Teradyne provides minimum purchase guarantees to certain vendors to ensure continuity of supply against the market demand. Although some of these guarantees provide penalties for cancellations and/or modifications to the purchase commitments as the market demand decreases, most of the guarantees do not. Therefore, as the market demand decreases, Teradyne re-evaluates these guarantees and determines what charges, if any, should be recorded.

With respect to its agreements covering product, business or entity divestitures and acquisitions, Teradyne provides certain representations, warranties and covenants to purchasers and agrees to indemnify and hold such purchasers harmless against breaches of such representations, warranties, and covenants. Many of the indemnification claims have a definite expiration date while some remain in force indefinitely. With respect to its acquisitions, Teradyne may, from time to time, assume the liability for certain events or occurrences that took place prior to the date of acquisition.

As a matter of ordinary course of business, Teradyne occasionally guarantees certain indebtedness obligations of its subsidiary companies, limited to the borrowings from financial institutions, purchase commitments to certain vendors and lease commitments to landlords.

Based on historical experience and information known as of September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, except for product warranty, Teradyne has not recorded any liabilities for these guarantees and obligations because the amount would be immaterial.

S. INCOME TAXES

A reconciliation of the United States federal statutory corporate tax rate to Teradyne’s effective tax rate was as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended						For the Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2024			October 1, 2023			September 29, 2024			October 1, 2023
U.S. statutory federal tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%		21.0	%		21.0	%
Non-deductible officers' compensation		0.5			1.3			0.4			1.1
Tax credits		(5.0	)		(9.3	)		(3.6	)		(5.0	)
Discrete expense (benefit) related to reserves for uncertain tax positions		(4.9	)		0.3			(2.2	)		0.1
Foreign taxes		(4.9	)		(1.5	)		(3.3	)		(1.1	)
International provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017		(0.8	)		(3.1	)		(1.1	)		(2.9	)
Other, net		1.9			2.5			0.8			0.8
Effective tax rate		7.8	%		11.2	%		12.0	%		14.0	%

On a quarterly basis, Teradyne evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. As of September 29, 2024, Teradyne believes that it will ultimately realize the deferred tax assets recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. However, should Teradyne believe that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized, the tax provision would increase in the period in which Teradyne determined that the realizability was not likely. Teradyne considers the probability of future taxable income and historical profitability, among other factors, in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets.

As of September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Teradyne had $7.6 million and $18.6 million, respectively, of reserves for uncertain tax positions. The $11.0 million net decrease in reserves for uncertain tax positions is related to the audit settlements.

As of September 29, 2024, Teradyne estimates that it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease approximately $0.7 million in the next twelve months because of a lapse of statutes of limitation. The estimated decrease relates to transfer pricing and U.S. federal and state research and development credits.

Teradyne recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of interest and penalties were accrued for uncertain tax positions. For the nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, a benefit of $1.0 million and expense of $0.2 million, respectively, were recorded for interest and penalties related to income tax items.

Teradyne qualifies for a tax holiday in Singapore by fulfilling the requirements of an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board under which certain headcount and spending requirements must be met. The tax savings due to the tax holiday for the nine months ended September 29, 2024, were $10.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. The tax savings due to the tax holiday for the nine months ended October 1, 2023, were $1.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. In November 2020, Teradyne entered into an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board which extended Teradyne's Singapore tax holiday under substantially similar terms to the agreement which expired on December 31, 2020. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025.

In the nine months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne recognized a $57.5 million gain on the sale of the Device Interface Solutions business which resulted in $10.7 million of income tax expense that was recognized as a discrete expense during the period in which the gain occurred.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA introduced a 15% alternative minimum tax based on the financial statement income of certain large corporations (“CAMT”), effective January 1, 2023. Teradyne currently does not expect the CAMT to have a material impact on its financial results.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union ("EU") Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two Framework. The EU’s Pillar Two Directive effective dates are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. On July 17, 2023, the OECD published Administrative Guidance proposing certain safe harbor rules that effectively extend certain effective dates to January 1, 2027. Certain EU Member States where Teradyne has a legal presence have recently enacted the directive and administrative guidance into their local tax legislation. Additionally, countries outside the EU where Teradyne has a legal presence have enacted similar language as the EU Members States in their local tax legislation. Teradyne is closely monitoring these developments and evaluating the potential financial impact on income tax expense. As of September 29, 2024, the effective tax rate was impacted by legislative changes that went into effect for Pillar Two in some of Teradyne's foreign jurisdictions, but it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

T. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Teradyne has four reportable segments (Semiconductor Test, System Test, Wireless Test and Robotics). Each of the reportable segments represents an individual operating segment.

The Semiconductor Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of semiconductor test products and services. The System Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of products and services for storage and system level test, defense/aerospace instrumentation test, and circuit-board test. The Wireless Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of wireless test products and services. The Robotics segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of collaborative robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots, and advanced robotic control software. Each operating segment has a segment manager who is accountable to and maintains regular contract with Teradyne’s chief operating decision maker (Teradyne’s chief executive officer) to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, and plans for the segment.

Teradyne evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income (loss) 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, 2023.

Segment information for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, is as follows:

U. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2023, Teradyne’s Board of Directors cancelled its January 2021 repurchase program and approved a new repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of common stock. As of January 1, 2023, share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax, which is included as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired. In 2024, Teradyne intends, based on market conditions, to

repurchase its common stock in an amount necessary to offset dilution from equity compensation and our employee share purchase program.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, Teradyne repurchased 0.5 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $55.1 million at an average price of $111.32 per share. The cumulative repurchases under the January 2023 repurchase program as of September 29, 2024, were 4.4 million shares of common stock for $455.6 million at an average price per share of $103.46.

During the nine months ended October 1, 2023, Teradyne repurchased 3.4 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $349.3 million at an average price of $103.89 per share.

The total cost of shares acquired includes commissions and related excise tax and is recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our 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, 2023. 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 automated test equipment and robotics products. We design, develop, manufacture, and sell automatic test systems and robotics products. Our automatic test systems are used to test semiconductors, wireless products, data storage and complex electronics systems in many industries including the consumer electronics, wireless, automotive, industrial, computing, communications, and aerospace and defense industries. Our robotics products include collaborative robotic arms and autonomous mobile robots (“AMRs”) used by global manufacturing, logistics and industrial customers to improve quality, increase manufacturing and material handling efficiency, and decrease manufacturing and logistics costs. Our automatic test equipment and robotics products and services include:

•

semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”) systems;

•

storage and system level test (“Integrated System Test”, formally "Storage Test") systems, defense/aerospace (“Defense/Aerospace”) test instrumentation and systems, and circuit-board test and inspection (“Production Board Test”) systems (collectively these products represent “System Test”);

•

wireless test (“Wireless Test”) systems; and

•

robotics (“Robotics”) products.

The market for our test products is concentrated with a limited number of significant customers accounting for a substantial portion of the purchases of test equipment. A few customers drive significant demand for our test products both through direct sales and sales to the customers’ supply partners. We expect that sales of our test products will continue to be concentrated with a limited number of significant customers for the foreseeable future.

In the third quarter of 2024, we saw strength in Semiconductor Test performance driven in System-on-a-chip by compute and in memory by DRAM and high bandwidth memory. We expect compute and memory to continue to drive meaningful demand in the fourth quarter of 2024, helping to offset weakness in the mobility test market. We anticipate an eventual upturn in mobility at some point in 2025.

Our Robotics segment consists of Universal Robots A/S (“UR”), a leading supplier of collaborative robotic arms, and Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (“MiR”), a leading maker of AMRs for industrial automation. The market for our Robotics segment products is dependent on the adoption of new automation technologies by large manufacturers as well as small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) throughout the world. Robotics results in the third quarter of 2024 were in line with our revenue forecast, putting us in position for full year growth due to new product offerings and expansion of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) and large account channels, along with increasing recurring revenue through new service and software offerings.

On November 7, 2023, we and Technoprobe S.p.A, (“Technoprobe”), a leader in the design and production of probe cards, announced the establishment of a strategic partnership that will seek to accelerate growth for both companies and enable higher performance semiconductor test interfaces for customers worldwide. As part of the partnership, on May 27, 2024, we made an investment of $524.1 million in exchange for 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Technoprobe, and we sold our Device Interface Solutions ("DIS") business to Technoprobe in exchange for $85.0 million, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, and a customary working capital adjustment.

Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. While revenues in our test businesses are predominantly in U.S. dollars, the majority of our Robotics revenue is denominated in foreign currencies. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar would negatively affect Robotics revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Our corporate strategy continues to focus on profitably gaining market share in our test businesses through the introduction of differentiated products that target expanding segments and accelerating growth through continued investment in our Robotics businesses. We have strategically increased engineering and go-to-market spending, primarily in Semiconductor Test and Integrated System Test, in order to support market share gains. We plan to execute on our strategy while balancing capital allocations between returning capital to our shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends and using capital for opportunistic accretive acquisitions.

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 September 29, 2024, 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, 2023, except as noted below.

Equity method investments

We account for investments using the equity method of accounting when we have significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but not control, of the investee. The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and included in ‘Equity method investment’ in the consolidated balance sheet. We record our share of investee's net income or loss and the amortization of equity method basis difference, calculated as the difference between the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets acquired, on a 3-month lag, which is applied consistently from period to period. These results are reported in ‘Equity in net earnings of affiliate’ in the consolidated statement of operations. We record our share of investee's other comprehensive income and a cumulative translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, also on a 3-month lag. We monitor on an ongoing basis our equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in fair value below carrying value.

Critical accounting estimates are complex and may require significant judgment by management. Changes to the underlying assumptions may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates

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 under different assumptions or conditions.

These benefits were partially offset by decreases in benefits related to tax credits and the international provision of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances decreased by $259.5 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2024, to $677.6 million.

Operating activities during the nine months ended September 29, 2024, provided cash of $389.6 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $75.8 million due to a $7.3 million decrease in operating assets and a $83.1 million decrease in operating liabilities.

The decrease in operating assets was primarily due to decreases in other assets and inventory of $61.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively, partially offset by a $65.3 million increase in accounts receivable, driven by higher sales in the third quarter.

The decrease in operating liabilities was due to a $32.3 million decrease in accrued employee compensation, $25.9 million decrease in accounts payable, $18.9 million decrease in income taxes, $4.2 million decrease in retirement plans, and $5.5 million decrease in accrued other, partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in deferred revenue and customer advances.

In January 2024, May 2024, and August 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share. Dividend payments for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, were $19.6 million and $57.0 million, respectively.

In January 2023, May 2023, and August 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. Dividend payments for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, were $16.9 million and $51.1 million, respectively.

In January 2023, our Board of Directors cancelled the 2021 repurchase program and approved a new repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of common stock.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, we repurchased 0.5 million shares of common stock for $55.1 million, which excludes related excise tax, at an average price of $111.32 per share. In 2024, Teradyne intends, based on market conditions, to repurchase its common stock in an amount necessary to offset dilution from equity compensation and our employee share purchase program. The cumulative repurchases under the 2023 repurchase program as of September 29, 2024, were 4.4 million shares of common stock for $455.6 million, which excludes related excise tax, at an average price per share of $103.46. During the nine months ended October 1, 2023, we repurchased 3.4 million shares of common stock for $346.5 million, which excludes related excise tax, at an average price of $103.89 per share.

While we have previously declared a quarterly cash dividend and authorized a share repurchase program, we may reduce or eliminate the cash dividend or share repurchase program in the future. Cash dividends and stock repurchases are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, which will consider, among other things, our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition.

On May 1, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement providing a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 million. On December 10, 2021, the credit agreement was amended to extend the senior secured revolving credit facility to December 10, 2026. On October 5, 2022, the credit agreement was amended to increase the amount of the credit facility to $750.0 million from $400.0 million. On November 7, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to allow for the purchase of the shares of Technoprobe. On May 16, 2024, we borrowed $185.0 million under the credit agreement to fund the acquisition of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Technoprobe. We fully repaid our borrowings on the revolving credit facility prior to September 29, 2024. As of November 1, 2024, there are no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

We believe our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and senior secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to pay our quarterly dividend and meet our working capital and expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Program as discussed in Note Q: “Stock-Based Compensation” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have a 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”).

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 and directors. Both plans were approved by our shareholders.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which will require us to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") on an annual and interim basis as well as provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, we will be required to disclose the title and position of the CODM. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will have no impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Upon adoption, we will apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior period disclosures presented in the financial statements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

For “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” affecting Teradyne, see Part 2 Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

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) or Rule 15d-15(f) 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.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 29, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Teradyne believes that it has meritorious defenses against all pending claims and intends to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of any pending claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the potential losses associated with all of these actions are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including the risk discussed below, 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, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, remain applicable to our business.

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.

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

In January 2023, Teradyne’s Board of Directors cancelled our 2021 repurchase program and approved a new repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of common stock. During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, we repurchased 0.5 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $55.1 million at an average price of $111.32 per share. We record share repurchases at cost, which includes broker commissions and related excise taxes. During the nine months ended October 1, 2023, we repurchased 3.4 million shares of common stock for $349.3 million at an average price of $103.89 per share.

The following table includes information with respect to repurchases we made of our common stock during the three months ended September 29, 2024, (in thousands except per share price):


Period	Total Number of Shares (or Units) Purchased			Average Price Paid per Share (or Unit)			Total Number of Shares (or Units) Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares (or Units) that may Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (2)

Includes approximately three thousand shares at an average price of $130.03 withheld from employees for the payment of taxes.

(2)

As of January 1, 2023, share repurchases net of share issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act. Excise tax incurred is included as part of the cost basis of shares repurchased in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Convertible Common Shares and Stockholders’ Equity.

We satisfy U.S. federal and state minimum withholding tax obligations 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 minimum withholding amount due.
