Financing activities during the three months ended April 3, 2022 used cash of $254.6 million due to $201.5 million used for the repurchase of 1.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $115.12 per share, $31.0 million used for payment related to net settlements of employee stock compensation awards, $20.7 million used for payments of convertible debt principal, $17.9 million used for dividend payments, partially offset by $16.5 million from the issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and stock option plans.
In January 2022, Teradyne’s Board of Directors declared a 10% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.11 per share. Dividend payments for the three months ended April 3, 2022 were $17.9 million. In January 2021, Teradyne’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share. Dividend payments for the three months ended April 4, 2021 were $16.7 million.
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. We intend to repurchase up to $500.0 million of common stock in 2023 subject to market conditions.
During the three months ended April 2, 2023, we repurchased 0.9 million shares of common stock for $93.3 million at an average price of $104.88 per share. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $201.5 million at an average price of $115.12 per share.
While we 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. 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 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. As of May 5, 2023, we have not borrowed any funds under the credit facility.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance 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. At this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had an impact on our liquidity, but there is no assurance that continued impacts resulting from the pandemic will not have an adverse effect in the future.
Equity Compensation Plans
In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Program as discussed in Note Q: “Stock-Based Compensation” in our 2022 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
For the three months ended April 2, 2023, there were no recently issued accounting pronouncements that had, or are expected to have, a material impact to our consolidated 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 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023. 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, 2022.
In addition to market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have an equity price risk related to the fair value of our convertible senior unsecured notes issued in December 2016. In December 2016, Teradyne issued $460 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) due December 15, 2023. As of April 2, 2023, $35.1 million of principal remained outstanding and the Notes had a fair value of $119.6 million. The table below provides a sensitivity analysis of hypothetical 10% changes of Teradyne’s stock price as of the end of the first quarter of 2022 and the estimated impact on the fair value of the Notes. The selected scenarios are not predictions of future events, but rather are intended to illustrate the effect such event may have on the fair value of the Notes. The fair value of the Notes is subject to equity price risk due to the convertible feature. The fair value of the Notes will generally increase as Teradyne’s common stock price increases and will generally decrease as the common stock price declines in value. The change in stock price affects the fair value of the Notes, but does not impact Teradyne’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligation.
