NORTH READING, Mass. — July 28, 2010 —Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) reported revenue of $455 million for the second quarter of 2010 of which $413 million was in Semiconductor Test and $42 million in Systems Test Group. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the second quarter was $133.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest and restructuring and other charges. GAAP net income for the second quarter was $122.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share.

Bookings in the second quarter of 2010 were $512 million of which $466 million were in Semiconductor Test and $46 million in the Systems Test Group.

Guidance for the third quarter of 2010 is revenue of $490 million to $520 million, with non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.75 to $0.83 and GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.60 to $0.67. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest and restructuring and other charges.

“We delivered our highest earnings in a decade in the second quarter driven by continued revenue and order growth in Semiconductor Test, and are poised to surpass that mark in the third quarter,” said Mike Bradley, Teradyne president and CEO. “We’ve reached new order highs for all of our System on a Chip (SOC) test products, continuing our market share gains of the last few years. While the memory test market is on a slower recovery path than SOC, we logged additional high speed memory production test orders and expect continued improvement in memory in the coming quarters.”

Non-GAAP Results

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, Teradyne also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain income items and charges. These results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income/(loss) exclude goodwill impairment, in-process research and development, non- cash convertible debt interest, write-off of credit line debt issue costs, restructuring and other, net, fair value inventory step-up related to Nextest and Eagle Test, (losses)/gains on marketable securities and acquired intangible asset amortization, as well as applicable adjustments to profit sharing (prior to January 1, 2010) and income taxes due to these exclusions. GAAP requires that these items be included in determining income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss). Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income/(loss) as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share are non-GAAP measures presented to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Teradyne’s baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of Teradyne’s current core business or future outlook. These non-GAAP measures are used to make operational decisions, to determine employee compensation, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with Teradyne’s business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of Teradyne’s competitors. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes charges related to the fair value inventory step-up recorded as part of acquisition purchase accounting. GAAP requires that this item be included in determining gross margin. Non-GAAP gross margin dollar amount and percentage are non-GAAP measures that management believes provide useful supplemental information for management and the investor. Management uses non-GAAP gross margin as a performance measure for Teradyne’s current core business and future outlook and for comparison with Teradyne’s business plan, historical gross margin results and the gross margin results of Teradyne’s competitors. Management believes each of these non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information for investors, allowing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision making and in the review of Teradyne’s financial and operational performance, as well as facilitating meaningful comparisons of Teradyne’s results in the current period compared with those in prior and future periods. A reconciliation of each available GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the attached exhibits and on the Teradyne website at www.teradyne.com by clicking on “Investors” and then selecting the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” link.

(4) Under GAAP, when calculating diluted earnings per share, convertible debt must be assumed to have converted if the effect on EPS would be dilutive. Diluted shares assume the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be dilutive. Accordingly, for the quarters ended July 4, 2010 and April 4, 2010, 34.7 million shares have been included in diluted shares and net interest expense of approximately $4.4 million has been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the six months ended July 4, 2010, 34.7 million shares have been included in diluted shares and net interest expense of approximately $8.8 million has been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation.
