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. Certain prior years’ amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Preparation of Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accrual entries) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Product Warranty
Teradyne generally provides a one year warranty on its products commencing upon installation. A provision is recorded upon revenue recognition to cost of sales for estimated warranty expense based upon historical experience. Related costs are charged to the warranty accrual as incurred. The balance below is included in other accrued liabilities.

Employee Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Teradyne has stock-based employee compensation plans. Teradyne accounts for its stock option plans and stock purchase plan under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and makes pro forma footnote disclosures as though the fair value method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” was followed. Teradyne’s employee stock purchase plan is a non-compensatory plan and its stock option plans are accounted for using the intrinsic value method under the provisions of APB 25. Had compensation for Teradyne’s stock based compensation plans been accounted for at fair value the amounts reported in the Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002 would have been (in millions, except per share amounts):

(1) | As a result of the review undertaken at December 31, 2002, Teradyne concluded under applicable accounting criteria that it was appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2003, total stock based compensation expense has not been tax effected. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, total stock based compensation expense has been tax effected. |
The weighted average grant date fair value for options granted during the three and six month periods ending June 29, 2003 was $6.42 and $6.40, respectively, per option and for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2002, was $18.68 and $17.73, respectively, per option. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

C. | Risks and Uncertainties |
Teradyne’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These factors include, but are not limited to, the slowdown in economies worldwide, current geopolitical turmoil, the continuing threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks, the current and anticipated market for electronics, risks associated with any measures Teradyne takes to address the current slowdown in the market, failure to adequately protect Teradyne’s intellectual property rights, failure to develop new technologies and customers’ failure to accept new products, risks associated with acquisitions and divestitures, securities class action litigation due to past or future stock activity, competition, including new product introductions from Teradyne’s competitors and competitive pricing pressures, risks of operating internationally including the impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARs) epidemic, risks associated with attracting and retaining key employees, a possible requirement to expense stock options, risks associated with Teradyne’s suppliers’ failure to meet Teradyne’s product or delivery requirements, risks associated with, among other things, obligations and potential liabilities under environmental laws and regulations, Teradyne’s debt service obligations with respect to its issuance in 2001 of convertible

senior notes and a mortgage financing completed in 2001 with respect to certain of its owned real estate assets, provisions of Teradyne’s charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law that make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult, timing of customer orders and any deferral or cancellation of orders previously received, reliance on sole source suppliers, potential retrofit costs, and the timing of investments in engineering and development.
At present, Teradyne can predict neither the duration of the current economic recession nor when or if the situation is likely to materially improve. In the absence of significant improvement, orders could remain low or decline further, and the amount of Teradyne’s inventory and certain long-lived assets considered realizable could be significantly reduced.
D. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 150 (“SFAS 150”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. For all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, SFAS 150 is effective immediately. For all other instruments, SFAS 150 goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Teradyne does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 150 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 149 (“SFAS 149”), “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting and reporting of derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Teradyne does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 149 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2003, FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF 00-21 requires revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables to be divided into separate units of accounting. If the deliverables in the arrangement meet certain criteria, arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values. Applicable revenue recognition criteria should be considered separately for separate units of accounting. The guidance in EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Teradyne does not expect that the adoption of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which addresses consolidation by a business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary. The Interpretation is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements and variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003. Teradyne does not expect that the adoption of FIN 46 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

J. | Commitments and Contingencies |
After the August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc. the former owners of those companies filed a complaint on September 5, 2001 against Teradyne and two of its executive officers. The case is now pending in Federal District Court, San Diego, California. Teradyne and the two individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The court granted the motion in part, and the only remaining claims were that the sale of Teradyne’s common stock to the former owners violated certain California securities statutes and common law and that Teradyne breached certain contractual obligations in the agreements relating to the acquisitions. Teradyne’s subsequent motion for partial summary judgment with respect to the breach of contract claims was granted on November 7, 2002. On December 9, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its summary judgment ruling or, alternatively, for certification under Rule 54(b) which would grant the plaintiffs leave to appeal both the Court’s ruling regarding dismissal of claims and its ruling granting summary judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Teradyne opposed these motions. On April 22, 2003, the Court denied the plaintiffs motion for reconsideration and the plaintiffs request for certification under Rule 54(b). A small portion of the original complaint relating to alleged fraud in connection with setting the transaction price remains pending before the District Court. Teradyne has answered and denied all liability. On April 1, 2003, Teradyne filed a motion to compel production of documents and asked the District Court to grant sanctions for the plaintiff’s failure. On May 14, 2003, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to Teradyne’s motion to compel and request for sanctions. On June 11, 2003, the District Court granted Teradyne’s motion to compel and awarded Teradyne a portion of its attorney’s fees and costs associated with the motion to compel. Discovery proceedings are continuing. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
Also arising out of the August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc. is a demand for arbitration, made on or about October 19, 2001, by the former owners of those companies, which was filed with the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration is with respect to environmental indemnification claims initially asserted by Teradyne under the respective acquisition agreements. These claims arose in connection with environmental matters related to Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc. facilities in California. The arbitration demand by the former owners seeks release of certain shares of Teradyne’s common stock being held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements and damages related to failure to release the escrow. Teradyne has counterclaimed for enforcement of the environmental indemnity provisions of the acquisition agreements. Hearings in connection with the arbitration have been completed and the parties have submitted post-hearing briefs to the arbitrators. On May 29, 2003, the arbitrators issued a Preliminary Award designating Teradyne as the substantially prevailing party in the arbitration, awarding Teradyne indemnification damages in the form of 18,256 shares of escrowed stock and entitling Teradyne to seek attorney’s fees and costs from the former owners. Following the Preliminary Award, Teradyne and the former owners filed briefs on the subject of attorneys fees and costs. On July 10, 2003, the arbitrators issued the Final Award which confirmed the Preliminary Award findings and also awarded Teradyne indemnification of attorneys’ fees and costs in the form of 15,374 shares of escrowed stock. Pursuant to the Final Award, Teradyne shall receive a total of 33,630 shares of escrowed stock. Execution of the Final Award will result in distribution of all shares held in escrow except 2,000 shares which shall be retained in escrow for future environmental expenditures.
Teradyne and two of its executive officers were named as defendants in three purported class action complaints that were filed in Federal District Court, Boston, Massachusetts, in October and November 2001. The court consolidated the cases and has appointed three lead plaintiffs. On November 8, 2002, plaintiffs filed and served a consolidated amended class action complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making, during the

period from July 14, 2000 until October 17, 2000, material misrepresentations and omissions to the investing public regarding Teradyne’s business operations and future prospects. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, including compensatory damages and recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Teradyne filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the complaint on February 7, 2003. On April 9, 2003, the lead plaintiffs filed a memorandum in opposition to Teradyne’s motion to dismiss. On May 28, 2003, Teradyne filed a reply memorandum in support of its motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the complaint. Oral arguments in connection with Teradyne’s motion to dismiss were presented to the District Court on June 26, 2003. Claims asserted in this case are similar to the claims asserted in the case discussed above, which is pending in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California. Teradyne believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and will defend itself vigorously. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
By letter dated October 22, 2002, counsel for Electro Mechanical Solutions, Inc., (“EMS”) and several affiliated debtors including PRECISMetals in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (collectively, the “Debtors”), asserted that Teradyne received payments in 2001 totaling $12.4 million from PRECISMetals in the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing and that those payments constitute avoidable preferential transfers. On May 23, 2003, the Debtors filed a complaint against Teradyne in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Teradyne received preferential transfers totaling $12.7 million from EMS and PRECISMetals in the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing and that those payments constitute avoidable preferential transfers. On June 30, 2003, Teradyne filed its answer and denied all liability. Teradyne believes that it has good faith defenses to the alleged preferential transfers and intends to contest the claims vigorously. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
In 2001, Teradyne was designated as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arises out of Teradyne’s acquisition of Perception Laminates, Inc. in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated July 30, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. Teradyne has asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so. Management does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such outcome would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2002, Teradyne was designated as a PRP at a site in Whittier, California. Teradyne was identified as a PRP based on shipments from its Woodland Hills, California and Agoura Hills, California sites during 1983 and 1984. Based upon review of the shipping documents, Teradyne considered any potential liability to be limited to that of a de minimus contributor to the site. On April 18, 2003, Teradyne entered into an agreement to settle any potential liability related to the site and pursuant to that agreement paid a de minimus amount as full and final settlement of any potential liability.
In October 1998, a former employee of GenRad, Inc., which Teradyne acquired on October 26, 2001, instituted an arbitration proceeding against GenRad alleging breach of his severance agreement. The last arbitration hearing was conducted on October 28, 2002. On June 2, 2003, the arbitrator issued an award in favor of Genrad, finding that Genrad had not breached the severance agreement and that the former employee had resigned from Genrad without reason, and as such, was not entitled to any severance benefits.

TERADYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In August of 2003, Teradyne was notified by one of its suppliers of potential claims and liabilities relating to a supply agreement and course of dealings between the supplier and Teradyne. Simultaneously, the supplier’s investors and majority shareholders informed Teradyne of a potential claim involving misrepresentations allegedly made by Teradyne with respect to the supplier’s existing business operations and future business prospects with Teradyne. No formal complaint has been filed against Teradyne as of August 13, 2003. Teradyne is currently investigating these matters. Based on the unspecified nature of the claims, Teradyne is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to these potential claims and therefore, as of August 13, 2003, has not accrued for any potential losses from these unasserted claims.
Teradyne disputes all of the claims above and believes they are without merit, and intends to defend vigorously against them. However, an adverse resolution of any of the claims could have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations. Teradyne is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to any of the claims and therefore as of June 29, 2003 has not accrued for any potential losses from the claims.
In addition, Teradyne is subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business such as but not limited to patent, commercial and environmental matters. There are no such matters pending that Teradyne expects to be material with respect to its business, financial position or results of operation but there can be no assurance that any such matters would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s business, financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations
Business Overview
Revenues remained relatively flat for the third consecutive quarter. Uncertainty continues in the general business environment and the electronics industry in particular. During the second quarter of 2003, Teradyne saw customers continue to delay buying decisions until the last possible moment.
Until Teradyne’s customers see significant and sustained increases in their business levels, Teradyne’s orders could remain low or see a further decline. If Teradyne experiences further declines in its own order rates, the amount of Teradyne’s inventory and certain long-lived assets considered realizable could be significantly reduced.

Second Quarter 2003 Compared to Second Quarter 2002
Bookings
Net orders increased 33% to $304.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 from $228.3 million in the second quarter of 2002. The increase in incoming net orders was led by a 169% increase in Connection Systems, a 34% increase in Semiconductor Test Systems and a 19% increase in Other Test Systems. Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems net orders decreased by 33%. The increase in Semiconductor Test Systems orders was due to an increase of approximately 268% in orders from subcontractor (Subcon) customers which was partially offset by a decrease in orders from Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) customers. The majority of the increase from Subcon customers was spread across South East Asia and Taiwan. The increase in Connection Systems orders was from a significant reduction in cancellations from major customers in the telecommunications and information technology infrastructure industries. The decrease in Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems orders can be attributed to excess customer capacity.
Teradyne experienced cancellations of $8.4 million and $44.4 million during second quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the second quarter of 2003, cancellations of $4.3 million and $3.5 million occurred in the Semiconductor Test Systems and Connection System businesses, respectively.
Teradyne’s net orders for its four principal operating segments were as follows:

The increase in Semiconductor Test Systems revenue was due to increased shipments to major IDM and Subcon customer sites across Korea, South East Asia, and Europe. More than half of the decrease in Connection Systems revenue was from reduced shipments in its assembly business, while the remaining decrease was primarily in its connector business. The increase in Other Test Systems was driven by a 69% revenue increase in Diagnostic Solutions as a result of increased business from a leading automotive manufacturer. The increase in Diagnostic Solutions was partially offset by a decrease of 44% in Broadband Test Systems revenue.
Product revenue increased 8% in the second quarter of 2003 to $271.5 million from $251.9 million in the second quarter of 2002. Service revenue increased 3% in the second quarter of 2003 to $60.0 million from $58.0 million in second quarter of 2002.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased to 27% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2003 from 23% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2002. Product gross margin increased to 25% of product revenue in the second quarter of 2003 from 21% of product revenue in the second quarter of 2002. The improved product gross margin percentage is a result of product revenue growth of 8% and an approximate 14% reduction in fixed and semi-fixed manufacturing costs. Included in the gross margin percentage of 27% in the second quarter of 2003, is approximately $1.4 million charge for a writedown of inventory and $1.1 million of incremental accelerated depreciation. The charge of $1.4 million for a writedown of inventory includes $0.7 million at the Other Test Systems segment relating to the sale of the Autodiagnos automotive after market product line, $0.5 million at the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment relating to the sale of the manufacturing software product line and manual x-ray inspection and rework product line, and $0.2 million relating to the Connections Systems segment decision to sell a facility at Laverne, CA. Service gross margin increased to 35% of service revenue in the second quarter of 2003 from 32% of service revenue in the second quarter of 2002. The improved service gross margin percentage largely results from reduced fixed costs in the Semiconductor Test Systems parts and field service business.
Engineering and Development
Engineering and development expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 19% in the second quarter of 2003 from 23% in the second quarter of 2002, with net spending decreasing by $8.6 million. Gross expense reductions of approximately $14.3 million were offset by increases of approximately $5.2 million from the elimination of company wide pay cuts and the granting of previously frozen salary increases in the third quarter of 2002, as well as incremental accelerated depreciation described below.
Half of the gross expense reduction was a result of a downsized workforce, with a bulk of the remainder coming from a reduction in outsourced engineering and consulting spending. Teradyne recorded a charge for
21
Table of Contents
incremental accelerated depreciation of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 which is classified in Engineering and Development.
Selling and Administrative
Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 19% of revenue in the second quarter of 2003 from 24% of revenue in the second quarter of 2002 with net spending decreasing by $13.9 million. Gross expense reductions of approximately $17.5 million were offset by increases of approximately $2.9 million from the elimination of company wide pay cuts and the granting of previously frozen salary increases in the third quarter of 2002, as well as incremental accelerated depreciation described below.
Of the gross expense reduction, about 19% was a result of a downsized workforce, with the bulk of the remainder coming from a combination of reduced fixed costs, such as facilities costs and depreciation, excluding the incremental accelerated depreciation charge discussed below, and reduced travel and promotional spending. Teradyne recorded a charge for incremental accelerated depreciation of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2003 which is classified in Selling and Administrative.

The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings and the accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities. The lease accruals are expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out $7.2 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months.
During the three months ended June 29, 2003, Teradyne recorded charges of $6.5 million primarily for certain long-lived assets held for sale that were impaired as the estimated fair value was less than the carrying

Table of Contents
value of these assets. The charge for the Connection Systems segment of $3.8 million includes $2.5 million which relates to the decision to sell a facility in Laverne, CA, $1.1 million for the impairment of manufacturing assets held for sale, and $0.2 million for a reduction in the fair value of a property held for sale in Nashua, NH. The charge for the Semiconductor Test Systems segment of $2.4 million includes $1.9 million which relates to a reduction in the fair value of properties held for sale in Agoura Hills, CA and $0.5 million for the impairment of manufacturing assets held for sale. The charge for the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment of $0.3 million relates to the impairment of manufacturing assets held for sale. The charge for the properties held for sale resulted from a deterioration in real estate market conditions.
Teradyne recorded a charge for severance and related benefits during the three months ended June 29, 2003 of $3.4 million. There were approximately 120 employees terminated in the second quarter of 2003 across Teradyne. All remaining severance benefits payable to these employees are expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of 2005. Teradyne recorded a charge for severance and related benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $0.2 million. There were approximately 22 employees terminated in selling and administrative during the second quarter of 2002. As of June 29, 2003 Teradyne has paid all severance benefits relating to employee terminations in the second quarter of 2002.
During the three months ended June 29, 2003, Teradyne recorded a charge of $2.3 million for the loss on sale of product lines, of which $1.1 million has been recorded in restructuring and other charges and $1.2 million has been recorded in cost of sales. The product lines sold were in the Circuit Board Test and Inspection segment and the Other Test Systems segment. In the first quarter of 2003, the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment sold its manufacturing software product line and manual x-ray inspection and rework product line for total cash proceeds of $2.1 million. These transactions resulted in a loss of $0.9 million during the three months ended June 29, 2003 of which $0.4 million has been recorded in restructuring and other charges and $0.5 million has been recorded in cost of sales for the three months ended June 29, 2003. In the three months ended June 29, 2003, the Other Test Systems segment recorded a charge of $1.4 million to writedown its net assets relating to the sale of the Autodiagnos automotive after market product line of which $0.7 million has been recorded in restructuring and other charges and $0.7 million has been recorded in cost of sales.
In the second quarter of 2003, Teradyne recorded a charge of $2.4 million consisting primarily of revised estimates of losses due to changes in the assumed amount and timing of sublease income on facilities that have been exited prior to the end of the lease term. The Connection Systems segment recorded $1.4 million of this charge and $1.0 million was recorded in the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment.
The restructuring actions described above during the second quarter of 2003 are expected to generate cost savings of approximately $8.9 million annually across all areas of operations.
In July of 2003, Teradyne announced a reduction in workforce totaling approximately 50 people in the Connections Systems and Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segments. The estimated severance charge from these reductions in personnel totals approximately $1.1 million. Teradyne anticipates further restructuring activities.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income decreased by $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 from $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to decreased cash and marketable securities balances. Interest expense remained flat at $5.4 million in both the second quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002.

Income Taxes
In the fourth quarter of 2002, Teradyne recorded a tax provision to establish a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. As a result of its review undertaken at December 31, 2002, Teradyne concluded under applicable accounting criteria that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized. Until an appropriate level of profitability is reached, Teradyne will not record tax benefits on operating losses in future results of operations. The second quarter of 2003 tax expense relates primarily to a tax provision for foreign taxes. In the second quarter of 2002, Teradyne was recording tax benefits for losses at an effective tax rate of 36%.
Six Months of 2003 Compared to Six Months of 2002
Bookings
Net orders increased 35% to $593.6 million in the first six months of 2003 from $438.7 million in the first six months of 2002. The increase in incoming net orders was led by a 93% increase in Connection Systems and a 48% increase in Semiconductor Test Systems. These increases were offset by decreases in net orders of 15% in Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems and 14% in Other Test Systems. The increase in Semiconductor Test Systems orders was driven by Subcon customers, which accounted for 74% of the increase, and was spread across South East Asia and Taiwan. The increase in Connection Systems orders was from an 11% increase in gross bookings due to increased demand from major customers in the telecommunications and information technology infrastructure industries, and a 76% reduction in cancellations. Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems orders decreased due to excess customer capacity.
Teradyne experienced cancellations of $22.9 million and $71.6 million during first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, cancellations of $15.8 million and $6.6 million occurred in the Connection Systems and Semiconductor Test Systems businesses, respectively.

Product revenue increased 23% in the first six months of 2003 to $548.8 million from $445.0 million in the first six months of 2002. Service revenue increased 4% in the first six months of 2003 to $117.4 million from $112.9 million in first six months of 2002.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased to 26% of total revenue in the first six months of 2003 from 18% of total revenue in the first six months of 2002. Product gross margin increased to 24% of product revenue in the first six months of 2003 from 15% of product revenue in the first six months of 2002. The improved product gross margin percentage is a result of product revenue growth of 23% and an approximate 11% reduction in fixed & semi-fixed manufacturing costs. Included in the gross margin percentage of 26% for the first six months of 2003, is approximately $4.7 million of incremental accelerated depreciation and a $1.4 million charge for a writedown of inventory. The charge of $1.4 million for a writedown of inventory includes $.0.7 million at the Other Test Systems segment relating to the sale of the Autodiagnos automotive after market product line, $0.5 million at the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment relating to the sale of the manufacturing software product line and manual x-ray inspection and rework product line, and $0.2 million relating to the Connections Systems segment decision to sell a facility at Laverne, CA. Service gross margin increased to 33% of service revenue in the first six months of 2003 from 30% of service revenue in the first six months of 2002. The improved service gross margin percentage largely results from reduced fixed costs in the Semiconductor Test Systems parts and field service business.
Engineering and Development
Engineering and development expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 20% in the first six months of 2003 from 25% in the first six months of 2002, with net spending decreasing by $9.2 million.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 19% of revenue in the first six months of 2003 from 27% of revenue in the first six months of 2002 with net spending decreasing by $21.5 million. Gross expense reductions of approximately $29.9 million were offset by increases of approximately $5.8 million from the elimination of company wide pay cuts and the granting of previously frozen salary increases in the third quarter of 2002, as well as incremental accelerated depreciation described below.
Of the gross expense reduction, approximately 25% was a result of a downsized workforce, with the bulk of the remainder coming from a combination of reduced fixed costs, such as facilities costs and depreciation, excluding the incremental accelerated depreciation charge discussed below, and reduced travel, promotional, and consulting spending. Teradyne recorded a charge for incremental accelerated depreciation of $2.6 million in the first six months of 2003 which is classified in Selling and Administrative.

The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings and the accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities. The lease accruals are expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out $7.2 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months.
During six months ended June 29, 2003, Teradyne recorded charges of $14.0 million primarily for certain long-lived assets held for sale that were impaired as the estimated fair value was less than the carrying value of these assets. The charge for the Connection Systems segment of $8.2 million includes $3.3 million for a reduction in the fair value of properties held for sale in Nashua, NH and San Diego, CA, $2.5 million relates to the decision to sell a facility in Laverne, CA, and $2.4 million for the impairment of manufacturing assets held for sale. The charge for the Semiconductor Test Systems segment of $5.5 million relates primarily to a reduction in the fair value of properties held for sale in Agoura Hills, CA. The charge for the properties held for sale resulted from a deterioration in real estate market conditions. The charge for the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment of $0.3 million relates to the impairment of manufacturing assets held for sale. During the first quarter of 2002, certain Semiconductor Test Systems long-lived assets were impaired as the estimated fair value was less than the carrying value of these assets. The charge for the impaired assets was $0.8 million and the assets were sold in the second quarter of 2002. The carrying value of Teradyne’s assets held for sale is $30.9 million as of June 29, 2003. These assets are included in Property, Plant and Equipment.
Teradyne recorded a $9.6 million charge for severance and related benefits during the six months ended June 29, 2003. There were approximately 460 employees terminated in the first six months of 2003 across Teradyne. All remaining severance benefits payable to these employees are expected to be paid by the end of the

Table of Contents
first quarter of 2005. Teradyne recorded a charge for severance and related benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $5.3 million. There were approximately 240 employees terminated across Teradyne in the first six months of 2002. As of June 29, 2003 Teradyne has paid all severance benefits relating to employee terminations in the first six months of 2002.
During the six months ended June 29, 2003, Teradyne recorded a charge of $8.1 million for the loss on sale of product lines, of which $6.9 million has been recorded in restructuring and other charges and $1.2 million for inventory writedowns has been recorded in cost of sales. The product lines sold were in the Circuit Board Test and Inspection segment and the Other Test Systems segment. In the first quarter of 2003, the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment sold its manufacturing software product line and manual x-ray inspection and rework product line for total cash proceeds of $2.1 million. These transactions resulted in a loss of $6.7 million for the first six months ended June 29, 2003 of which $6.2 million has been recorded in restructuring and other charges and $0.5 million has been recorded in cost of sales for the six months ended June 29, 2003. In the six months ended June 29, 2003, the Other Test Systems segment recorded a charge of $1.4 million to writedown its net assets relating to the sale of the Autodiagnos automotive after market product line of which $0.7 million has been recorded in restructuring and other charges and $0.7 million has been recorded in cost of sales.
In the first six months of 2003, Teradyne recorded a charge of $2.4 million consisting primarily of revised estimates of losses due to changes in the assumed amount and timing of sublease income on facilities that have been exited prior to the end of the lease term. The Connection Systems segment recorded $1.4 million of this charge and $1.0 million was recorded in the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segment.
The restructuring actions taken during the first six months of 2003 are expected to generate cost savings of approximately $36.3 million annually across all areas of operations.
In July of 2003, Teradyne announced a reduction in workforce totaling approximately 50 people in the Connections Systems and Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems segments. The estimated severance charge from these reductions in personnel totals approximately $1.1 million. Teradyne anticipates further restructuring activities.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income decreased by $1.2 million in the first six months of 2003 from $8.7 million for the first six months of 2002 compared to $7.5 million for the first six months of 2003 primarily due to decreased cash and marketable securities balances. Interest expense remained flat at $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2002.
Other Income and Expense, Net
Other income and expense, net for the six months ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002 includes the following:

Income Taxes
In the fourth quarter of 2002, Teradyne recorded a tax provision to establish a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. As a result of its review undertaken at December 31, 2002, Teradyne concluded under applicable accounting criteria that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized. Until an appropriate level of profitability is reached, Teradyne will not record tax benefits on
28
Table of Contents
operating losses in future results of operations. The first six months of 2003 tax expense relates primarily to a tax provision for foreign taxes. In the first six months of 2002, Teradyne was recording tax benefits for losses at an effective tax rate of 36%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Teradyne’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance decreased by $9.3 million in the first six months of 2003, to $531.7 million. Teradyne used cash from operating activities of $26.4 million and $6.0 million in the first six months of 2003 and the first six months of 2002, respectively. Cash used from net loss, excluding the effects of non-cash items, consisted of $22.3 million in the first six months of 2003 and $127.3 million for the first six months of 2002. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of product lines sold, used cash of $4.1 million in the first six months of 2003 as accounts receivable balances increased primarily due to higher shipments in the last month of the quarter which was partially offset by decreased inventory balances. In the first six months of 2002, changes in operating assets and liabilities generated cash of $121.2 million due to the receipt of a tax refund of $85.2 million in March 2002 and decreased inventory balances.
Teradyne used $29.7 million of cash for investing activities in the first six months of 2003 and $39.9 million in the first six months of 2002. Investing activities consist of purchases, sales, and maturities of marketable securities, proceeds from the sale of asset disposals, proceeds from the sale of product lines and purchases of capital assets to support long-term growth. Capital expenditures were $37.1 million in the first six months of 2003 and $39.7 million in the first six months of 2002. The decrease in capital expenditures was due to actions taken by Teradyne beginning in 2001 to reduce planned capital expenditures due to current market conditions.
Financing activities provided $42.5 million and $40.6 million of cash during the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Financing activities include issuance of Teradyne’s common stock through employee stock option and stock purchase plans and repayments of debt. During the first six months of 2003 and 2002, common stock activity provided cash of $43.1 million and $40.4 million, respectively.
Teradyne believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance of $531.7 million will be sufficient to meet working capital and expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. Teradyne’s United States defined benefit pension plan is currently under funded. Teradyne plans to contribute approximately $10 million during the remainder of fiscal 2003 and approximately $25 million in the first three quarters of 2004 to this plan. Teradyne may pre-pay its mortgage on its California properties in the near future, which would result in a payment of approximately $46 million. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.
Employee Stock Options
Teradyne’s equity compensation program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Teradyne considers its equity compensation program critical to Teradyne’s operation and productivity. Approximately 80% of Teradyne’s employees participated in its equity compensation program during 2002. Of the stock options Teradyne granted in first six months of 2003, 88% went to employees other than the Chief Executive Officer and the five other most highly compensated executive officers.

In addition to Teradyne’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in Note B: “Accounting Policies,” in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, Teradyne maintains three equity compensation plans under which its equity securities are authorized for issuance to the Corporation’s employees, directors and/or consultants:
1) 1991 | Employee Stock Option Plan; |
2) 1997 | Employee Stock Option Plan; and |
3) 1996 | Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan |

The purpose of these plans is to promote the interests of Teradyne by attracting and retaining the services of qualified and talented persons to serve as employees, directors and/or consultants of Teradyne. Except for the 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, each of the foregoing plans was approved by Teradyne’s shareholders.

As of June 29, 2003, there were outstanding options exercisable for an aggregate of 437 shares of Teradyne common stock pursuant to the GenRad Plans, with a weighted average exercise price of $73.13 per share. |
For further information on Teradyne’s stock option plans see Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2003.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results
From time to time, information provided by Teradyne, statements made by its employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q) contain statements that are not purely historical, but are forward looking statements, made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, forward looking statements made herein include projections, plans, and objectives for Teradyne’s business, financial condition, operating results, future operations, or future economic performance, statements relating to the sufficiency of capital to meet working capital requirements, capital expenditures, expectations as to customer orders and demand for Teradyne’s products and statements relating to existing or planned restructuring activities, backlog, bookings and cancellations, gross margins and pricing considerations. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, which could cause Teradyne’s actual future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed below. These factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in Teradyne’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Teradyne’s Business Is Impacted by the Slowdown in Economies Worldwide.
Teradyne’s business has been negatively impacted by the slowdown in the global economies that began in the second half of 2000. The uncertainty regarding the growth rate of the worldwide economies has caused
32
Table of Contents
companies to reduce capital investments and may cause further reduction of such investments. These reductions have been particularly severe in the electronics and semiconductor industry which Teradyne serves and have contributed to Teradyne incurring losses. Teradyne cannot predict if or when the growth rate of worldwide economies will rebound, whether the growth rate of its business will rebound when the worldwide economies begin to grow, or if or when Teradyne will return to profitability. The effects of the economic decline are being felt across all of Teradyne’s business segments and continue to result in significantly reduced customer orders.
Current Geopolitical Turmoil and the Continuing Threat of Domestic and International Terrorist Attacks May Adversely Impact Teradyne’s Revenues.
International turmoil, exacerbated by the war in Iraq, and the escalating tensions in North Korea have contributed to an uncertain political and economic climate, both in the United States and globally, which may affect Teradyne’s ability to generate revenue on a predictable basis. In addition, terrorist attacks internationally and the threat of future terrorist attacks both domestically and internationally have negatively impacted an already weakened worldwide economy. As Teradyne sells products both in the United States and internationally, the threat of future terrorist attacks may adversely affect Teradyne’s business. These conditions make it difficult for Teradyne, and its customers, to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and could have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Teradyne’s Business is Dependent on the Current and Anticipated Market for Electronics.
Teradyne’s business and results of operations depend in significant part upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors and other electronics, which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand for those products. The current and anticipated market demand for electronics has been impacted by the economic slowdown that began in the latter portions of 2000 and the effects of the hostilities begun in September 2001. Historically, the electronics and semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical with recurring periods of over-supply, which often have had a severe negative effect on demand for test equipment, including systems manufactured and marketed by Teradyne. Teradyne believes that the markets for newer generations of electronic products such as those that Teradyne manufactures and markets will also be subject to similar fluctuations. Teradyne is dependent on the timing of customer orders and the deferral or cancellation of previous customer orders could have an adverse effect on its results of operations. Teradyne cannot assure that the continued downturn in new orders will turn around in the future or that any increase in sales or new orders for a calendar year will be sustained in subsequent years. In addition, any factor adversely affecting the electronics industry or particular segments within the electronics industry may adversely affect Teradyne’s business, financial condition and operating results.
Teradyne Has Taken and Expects to Continue to Take Measures to Address the Current Slowdown in the Market for Its Products Which Could Have Long-term Negative Effects on Teradyne ‘s Business.
Teradyne has taken and expects to continue to take measures to address the current slowdown in the market for its products. In particular, Teradyne has reduced its workforce, closed facilities, reduced the pay of certain employees, implemented furloughs, discontinued certain of its product lines, implemented material cost reduction programs, reduced its planned capital expenditures and expense budgets. These measures have reduced expenses in the face of decreased revenues due to decreased or cancelled customer orders. However, each measure Teradyne has taken and any additional measures taken in the future to contain expenditures could have long-term negative effects on Teradyne’s business by reducing its pool of technical talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in its products, increasing Teradyne’s debt, and making it more difficult for Teradyne to respond to customers or competitors.

Teradyne’s Business May Be Adversely Impacted by Acquisitions Which May Affect Its Ability to Manage and Maintain Its Business.
Since Teradyne’s inception, it has acquired a number of businesses. In the future, Teradyne may undertake additional acquisitions of businesses that complement its existing operations. Such past or future acquisitions could involve a number of risks, including:
• | the diversion of the attention of management and other key personnel; |
• | the inability to effectively integrate an acquired business into Teradyne’s culture, product and service delivery methodology and other standards, controls, procedures and policies; |
• | the inability to retain the management, key personnel and other employees of an acquired business; |
• | the inability to retain the customers of an acquired business; |
• | the possibility that Teradyne’s reputation will be adversely affected by customer satisfaction problems of an acquired business; |
• | potential known or unknown liabilities associated with an acquired business, including but not limited to regulatory, environmental and tax liabilities; |
• | the amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles, which may adversely affect Teradyne’s reported results of operations; and |
• | litigation which has or which may arise in the future in connection with such acquisitions. |
For example, in connection with the August 2000 acquisition of each of Herco Technology Corp., a California company, and Perception Laminates, Inc., a California company, a complaint was filed on or about September 5, 2001 and is now pending in Federal District Court, San Diego, California, by the former owners of those companies naming as defendants Teradyne and two of its executive officers. This case is further described in “Part II, Item 1: Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-Q.
Additionally, in 2001, Teradyne was designated as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arises out of Teradyne’s acquisition of Perception Laminates, Inc. in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated July 30, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. Teradyne has asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so. This case is further described in “Part II, Item 1: Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-Q.
In addition to the foregoing, any acquired business could significantly underperform relative to Teradyne’s expectations.
Teradyne Currently Faces, and in the Future May Be the Subject of, Securities Class Action Litigation Due to Past or Future Stock Price Volatility.
Teradyne and two of its executive officers were named as defendants in three purported class action complaints that were filed in Federal District Court, Boston, Massachusetts, in October and November 2001. The court consolidated the cases and has appointed three lead plaintiffs. On November 8, 2002, plaintiffs filed and served a consolidated amended class action complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making, during the period from July 14, 2000 until October 17, 2000, material misrepresentations and omissions to the investing public regarding Teradyne’s business operations and future prospects. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, including compensatory damages and recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Teradyne filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the complaint on February 7, 2003. On April 9, 2003, the lead plaintiffs filed a
34
Table of Contents
memorandum in opposition to Teradyne’s motion to dismiss. On May 28, 2003, Teradyne filed a reply memorandum in support of its motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the complaint. Oral arguments in connection with Teradyne’s motion to dismiss were presented to the District Court on June 26, 2003. Claims asserted in this case are similar to the claims asserted in the case discussed in “Part II, Item 1:Legal Proceedings,” which is pending in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California. Teradyne believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and will defend itself vigorously. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
Teradyne’s Business May be Adversely Impacted by Divestitures of Lines of Business Which May Affect Its Ability to Manage and Maintain Its Business.
Since Teradyne’s inception, it has divested itself of certain lines of business. In the future, Teradyne may undertake additional such divestitures. Such past or future divestitures could involve a number of risks, including:
• | the diversion of the attention of management and other key personnel; |
• | disruptions and other effects caused by the divestiture of a line of business on Teradyne’s culture, product and service delivery methodology and other standards, controls, procedures and policies; |
• | customer satisfaction problems caused by the loss of a divested line of business; and |
• | the decreased diversification of Teradyne’s product lines caused by the divestiture of a line of business which may make Teradyne’s operating results subject to increased market fluctuations. |
If Teradyne Is Unable to Protect Its Intellectual Property, Teradyne May Lose a Valuable Asset or May Incur Costly Litigation to Protect Its Rights.
Teradyne’s products incorporate technology that it protects in several ways, including patents, copyrights and trade secrets. While Teradyne believes that its patents, copyrights and trade secrets have value in general, no single one is in itself essential. At times, Teradyne has been notified that it may be in violation of patents held by others. An assertion of patent infringement against Teradyne, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on its ability to sell its products, or could require a lengthy and expensive defense which could adversely affect its operating results.
If Teradyne Fails to Develop New Technologies to Adapt to Its Customers’ Needs and if Its Customers Fail to Accept Its New Products, Teradyne’s Revenues Will Be Adversely Affected.
Teradyne believes that its technological position depends primarily on the technical competence and creative ability of its engineers. Teradyne’s development of new technologies, commercialization of those technologies into products, and market acceptance and customer demand for those products are critical to Teradyne’s success. Successful product development and introduction depends upon a number of factors, including:
• | new product selection; |
• | development of competitive products by competitors; |
• | timely and efficient completion of product design; |
• | timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing; and |
• | assembly processes and product performance at customer locations. |

Teradyne Is Subject to Intense Competition.
Teradyne faces significant competition throughout the world in each of its operating segments. Some of Teradyne’s competitors have substantial financial and other resources to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. Teradyne also faces competition from internal suppliers at several of its customers. Some of Teradyne’s competitors have introduced or announced new products with certain performance characteristics which may be considered equal or superior to those Teradyne currently offers. Teradyne expects its competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and to introduce new products or new technologies that provide improved cost of ownership and performance characteristics. New product introductions by competitors could cause a decline in sales or loss of market acceptance of Teradyne’s products. Moreover, increased competitive pressure could lead to intensified price based competition, which could materially adversely affect Teradyne’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Teradyne Is Subject to Risks of Operating Internationally.
Teradyne derives a significant portion of its total revenue from customers outside the United States. Teradyne’s international sales and operations are subject to significant risks and difficulties, including:
• | unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements and in policy changes affecting international markets; |
• | compliance with customs regulations; |
• | changes in tariffs and exchange rates; |
• | political and economic instability, acts of terrorism and international conflicts; |
• | difficulties in accounts receivable collection; |
• | difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; |
• | potentially adverse tax consequences; and |
• | the uncertain impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARs) epidemic. |
Teradyne’s Business May Suffer if it is Unable to Attract and Retain Key Employees.
Competition for certain employees with skills required by Teradyne is intense in the high technology industry. Teradyne’s success will depend on its ability to attract and retain key technical employees in this business segment. The loss of one or more key or other employees, Teradyne’s inability to attract additional qualified employees, or the delay in hiring key personnel could each have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
If Teradyne’s Suppliers do not Meet Teradyne’s Product or Delivery Requirements, Teradyne Could Have Reduced Revenues and Earnings.
Certain components, including semiconductor chips, may be in short supply from time to time because of high industry demand or the inability of some vendors to consistently meet Teradyne’s quality or delivery requirements. If any of Teradyne’s suppliers were to cancel contracts or commitments with Teradyne or fail to meet the quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for Teradyne’s products, Teradyne could lose time-sensitive customer orders and have significantly decreased quarterly revenues and earnings, which would have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, Teradyne relies upon third-party contract manufacturers for certain subsystems used in its products, and Teradyne’s ability to meet customer orders for those products depends upon the timeliness and quality of the work performed by these subcontractors, over whom Teradyne does not exercise any control.

Teradyne May Incur Significant Liabilities if It Fails to Comply With Environmental Regulations.
Teradyne is subject to environmental regulations and statutory strict liability relating to the use, storage, discharge, site cleanup, and disposal of hazardous chemicals used in its manufacturing processes. If Teradyne fails to comply with present and future regulations, or is required to perform site remediation, Teradyne could be subject to future liabilities or the suspension of production. Present and future regulations may also:
• | restrict Teradyne’s ability to expand its facilities; |
• | require Teradyne to acquire costly equipment; or |
• | require Teradyne to incur other significant costs and expenses. |
Teradyne Has Substantially Increased Its Indebtedness.
On October 24, 2001, Teradyne completed a private placement of $400 million principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”) due 2006 and received net proceeds of $389 million. On December 19, 2001, Teradyne obtained a loan of approximately $45 million in the form of a 7.5% mortgage loan maturing on January 1, 2007 (the “Mortgage”). As a result, Teradyne has incurred approximately $445 million principal amount of additional indebtedness, substantially increasing its ratio of debt to total capitalization. The level of Teradyne’s indebtedness, among other things, could:
• | make it difficult for Teradyne to make payments on its debt and other obligations; |
• | make it difficult for Teradyne to obtain any necessary future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes; |
• | require the dedication of a substantial portion of any cash flow from operations to service for indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures; |
• | limit Teradyne’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, its business and the industries in which Teradyne competes; |
• | place Teradyne at a possible competitive disadvantage with respect to less leveraged competitors and competitors that have better access to capital resources; and |
• | make Teradyne more vulnerable in the event of a further downturn in its business. |
There can be no assurance that Teradyne will be able to meet its debt service obligations, including its obligations under the Notes and the Mortgage.
Teradyne May Not Be Able to Satisfy Certain Obligations in the Event of a Change in Control.
The indenture governing the Notes contains provisions that apply to a change in control of Teradyne. If a change in control as defined in the indenture is triggered, Teradyne may be required to offer to purchase the Notes with cash. If Teradyne has to make that offer, Teradyne cannot be sure that it will have enough funds to pay for all the Notes that the holders could tender.
In the event of a change in control of Teradyne, the Mortgage lender may elect to declare all amounts due under the Mortgage to be immediately due and payable, and may elect to take possession of or sell the property subject to the Mortgage.
As a result, a change of control of Teradyne could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.
Teradyne May Not Be Able to Pay Its Debt and Other Obligations.
If Teradyne’s cash flow is inadequate to meet its obligations, Teradyne could face substantial liquidity problems. If Teradyne sustains continued losses or is unable to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain
37
Table of Contents
funds necessary to make required payments on the Notes, the Mortgage, or certain of its other obligations, Teradyne would be in default under the terms thereof, which would permit the holders of those obligations to accelerate their maturity and also could cause defaults under future indebtedness Teradyne may incur. Any such default could have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s business, prospects, financial position and operating results. In addition, Teradyne cannot assure that it would be able to repay amounts due in respect of the Notes or the Mortgage if payment of those obligations were to be accelerated following the occurrence of any other event of default as defined in the instruments creating those obligations. Moreover, Teradyne cannot assure that it will have sufficient funds or will be able to arrange for financing to pay the principal amount due on the Notes or the Mortgage at their respective maturities.
Teradyne May Need Additional Financing, Which Could Be Difficult to Obtain.
Teradyne expects that its existing cash and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, the proceeds of the Notes offering in October 2001 and the proceeds from the Mortgage financing in December 2001, will be sufficient to meet Teradyne’s cash requirements to fund operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twenty-four months. However, Teradyne has a finite amount of cash and in the event Teradyne may need to raise additional funds, due to on-going losses or other reasons, Teradyne cannot be certain that it will be able to obtain such additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, particularly in light of Teradyne’s continued quarterly losses. Further, if Teradyne issues additional equity securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. Future financings may place restrictions on how Teradyne operates its business. If Teradyne cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, if and when needed, Teradyne may not be able to develop or enhance its products and services, take advantage of future opportunities, grow its business or respond to competitive pressures, which could seriously harm Teradyne’s business.
If Teradyne is Required to Account for Options Under Its Employee Stock Plans as a Compensation Expense, Teradyne’s Compensation Expense Would Be Increased.
There has been an increasing public debate about the proper accounting treatment for employee stock options. Teradyne currently discloses pro forma compensation expense quarterly by calculating the grants’ fair value and disclosing the impact on net loss and net loss per share in a footnote to the consolidated financial statements. It is possible that future laws and regulations will require Teradyne to record the fair value of all stock options as compensation expense in its consolidated statement of operations. Note B, “Accounting Policies,” of the consolidated financial statements reflects the impact that such a change in accounting treatment would have had on Teradyne’s net loss and net loss per share if it had been in effect during the three and six months ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002. Also included in Item 2: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Teradyne has included additional stock-based compensation disclosures.
Provisions of Teradyne’s Charter and By-Laws and Massachusetts Law Make a Takeover of Teradyne More Difficult.
Teradyne’s basic corporate documents, its stockholder rights plan, and Massachusetts law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in the control of Teradyne, even if a change of control might be regarded as beneficial to some or all of Teradyne’s stockholders.
Teradyne’s Operating Results Are Likely to Fluctuate Significantly.
Teradyne’s quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially adversely affect revenues and profitability, including:
• | competitive pressures on selling prices; |
• | the timing of customer orders and the deferral or cancellation of orders previously received; |
38
Table of Contents
• | provisions for excess and obsolete inventory; |
• | charges for certain long-lived assets, including goodwill; |
• | changes in product mix; |
• | Teradyne’s ability to introduce new products and technologies on a timely basis; |
• | the introduction of products and technologies by Teradyne’s competitors; |
• | market acceptance of Teradyne’s and its competitors’ products; |
• | fulfilling backlog on a timely basis; |
• | reliance on sole source suppliers; |
• | potential retrofit costs; |
• | the level of orders received which can be shipped in a quarter; and |
• | the timing of investments in engineering and development. |
In particular, due to Teradyne’s introduction of a number of new, complex test systems in 2002 and the planned introduction of other systems in 2003, there can be no assurance that Teradyne will not experience delays in shipment of its products or that its products will achieve customer acceptance.
As a result of the foregoing and other factors, Teradyne has and may continue to experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
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 28, 2003. There were no material changes in Teradyne’s exposure to market risk from those set forth in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.
Item 4: Controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, Teradyne’s management, with the participation of Teradyne’s Chief Executive Officer and Teradyne’s Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Teradyne’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, Teradyne’s Chief Executive Officer and Teradyne’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Teradyne’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by Teradyne in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to Teradyne’s management, including Teradyne’s Chief Executive Officer and Teradyne’s 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 Teradyne’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Teradyne’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
After the August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc. the former owners of those companies filed a complaint on September 5, 2001 against Teradyne and two of its executive officers. The case is now pending in Federal District Court, San Diego, California. Teradyne and the two individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The court granted the motion in part, and the only remaining claims were that the sale of Teradyne’s common stock to the former owners violated certain California securities statutes and common law and that Teradyne breached certain contractual obligations in the agreements relating to the acquisitions. Teradyne’s subsequent motion for partial summary judgment with respect to the breach of contract claims was granted on November 7, 2002. On December 9, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its summary judgment ruling or, alternatively, for certification under Rule 54(b) which would grant the plaintiffs leave to appeal both the Court’s ruling regarding dismissal of claims and its ruling granting summary judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Teradyne opposed these motions. On April 22, 2003, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration and the plaintiffs’ request for certification under Rule 54(b). A small portion of the original complaint relating to alleged fraud in connection with setting the transaction price remains pending before the District Court. Teradyne has answered and denied all liability. On April 1, 2003, Teradyne filed a motion to compel production of documents and asked the District Court to grant sanctions for the plaintiff’s failure. On May 14, 2003, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to Teradyne’s motion to compel and request for sanctions. On June 11, 2003, the District Court granted Teradyne’s motion to compel and awarded Teradyne a portion of its attorney’s fees and costs associated with the motion to compel. Discovery proceedings are continuing. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
Also arising out of the August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc. is a demand for arbitration, made on or about October 19, 2001, by the former owners of those companies, which was filed with the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration is with respect to environmental indemnification claims initially asserted by Teradyne under the respective acquisition agreements. These claims arose in connection with environmental matters related to Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc. facilities in California. The arbitration demand by the former owners seeks release of certain shares of Teradyne’s common stock being held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements and damages related to failure to release the escrow. Teradyne has counterclaimed for enforcement of the environmental indemnity provisions of the acquisition agreements. Hearings in connection with the arbitration have been completed and the parties have submitted post-hearing briefs to the arbitrators. On May 29, 2003, the arbitrators issued a Preliminary Award designating Teradyne as the substantially prevailing party in the arbitration, awarding Teradyne indemnification damages in the form of 18,256 shares of escrowed stock and entitling Teradyne to seek attorney’s fees and costs from the former owners. Following the Preliminary Award, Teradyne and the former owners filed briefs on the subject of attorneys fees and costs. On July 10, 2003, the arbitrators issued the Final Award which confirmed the Preliminary Award findings and also awarded Teradyne indemnification of attorneys’ fees and costs in the form of 15,374 shares of escrowed stock. Pursuant to the Final Award, Teradyne shall receive a total of 33,630 shares of escrowed stock. Execution of the Final Award will result in distribution of all shares held in escrow except 2,000 shares which shall be retained in escrow for future environmental expenditures.
Teradyne and two of its executive officers were named as defendants in three purported class action complaints that were filed in Federal District Court, Boston, Massachusetts, in October and November 2001. The court consolidated the cases and has appointed three lead plaintiffs. On November 8, 2002, plaintiffs filed and served a consolidated amended class action complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making, during the period from July 14, 2000 until October 17, 2000, material misrepresentations and omissions to the investing
40
Table of Contents
public regarding Teradyne’s business operations and future prospects. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, including compensatory damages and recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Teradyne filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the complaint on February 7, 2003. On April 9, 2003, the lead plaintiffs filed a memorandum in opposition to Teradyne’s motion to dismiss. On May 28, 2003, Teradyne filed a reply memorandum in support of its motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the complaint. Oral arguments in connection with Teradyne’s motion to dismiss were presented to the District Court on June 26, 2003. Claims asserted in this case are similar to the claims asserted in the case discussed above, which is pending in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California. Teradyne believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and will defend itself vigorously. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
By letter dated October 22, 2002, counsel for Electro Mechanical Solutions, Inc., (“EMS”) and several affiliated debtors including PRECISMetals in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (collectively, the “Debtors”), asserted that Teradyne received payments in 2001 totaling $12.4 million from PRECISMetals in the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing and that those payments constitute avoidable preferential transfers. On May 23, 2003, the Debtors filed a complaint against Teradyne in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Teradyne received preferential transfers totaling $12.7 million from EMS and PRECISMetals in the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing and that those payments constitute avoidable preferential transfers. On June 30, 2003, Teradyne filed its answer and denied all liability. Teradyne believes that it has good faith defenses to the alleged preferential transfers and intends to contest the claims vigorously. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these claims will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
In 2001, Teradyne was designated as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arises out of Teradyne’s acquisition of Perception Laminates, Inc. in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated July 30, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. Teradyne has asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so. Management does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such outcome would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2002, Teradyne was designated as a PRP at a site in Whittier, California. Teradyne was identified as a PRP based on shipments from its Woodland Hills, California and Agoura Hills, California sites during 1983 and 1984. Based upon review of the shipping documents, Teradyne considered that any potential liability to be limited to that of a de minimus contributor to the site. On April 18, 2003, Teradyne entered into an agreement to settle any potential liability related to this site and pursuant to that agreement paid a de minimus amount as full and final settlement of any potential liability.
In October 1998, a former employee of GenRad, Inc., which Teradyne acquired on October 26, 2001, instituted an arbitration proceeding against GenRad alleging breach of his severance agreement. The last arbitration hearing was conducted on October 28, 2002, On June 2, 2003, the arbitrator issued an award in favor of Genrad, finding that Genrad had not breached the severance agreement and that the former employee had resigned from Genrad without reason, and as such, was not entitled to any severance benefits.
In August of 2003, Teradyne was notified by one of its suppliers of potential claims and liabilities relating to a supply agreement and course of dealings between the supplier and Teradyne. Simultaneously, the supplier’s investors and majority shareholders informed Teradyne of a potential claim involving misrepresentations
41
Table of Contents
allegedly made by Teradyne with respect to the supplier’s existing business operations and future business prospects with Teradyne. No formal complaint has been filed against Teradyne as of August 13, 2003. Teradyne is currently investigating these matters. Based on the unspecified nature of the claims, Teradyne is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to these potential claims and therefore, as of August 13, 2003, has not accrued for any potential losses from these unasserted claims.
Teradyne disputes all of the claims above and believes they are without merit, and intends to defend vigorously against them. However, an adverse resolution of any of the claims could have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s financial position or results of operations. Teradyne is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to any of the claims and therefore as of June 29, 2003 has not accrued for any potential losses from the claims.
In addition, Teradyne is subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business such as but not limited to patent, commercial and environmental matters. There are no such matters pending that Teradyne expects to be material with respect to its business, financial position or results of operation but there can be no assurance that any such matters would not have a material adverse effect on Teradyne’s business, financial position or results of operations.
Item 4: Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
