NORTH READING, Mass., Oct. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) reported revenue of $567 million for the third quarter of 2018 of which $417 million was in Semiconductor Test, $66 million in Industrial Automation, $50 million in System Test, and $34 million in Wireless Test. GAAP net profit for the third quarter was $120.0 million or $0.63 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the third quarter was $133.3 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest, restructuring and other charges and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

"Increased third quarter sales, combined with favorable product mix, drove earnings above our guidance," said President and CEO Mark Jagiela. "In Semiconductor Test, sales increased 5% compared to Q3'17 due to continued strength in automotive and industrial chip test markets combined with increased memory test demand for our expanded Magnum product line. Universal Robots (UR) growth, combined with 2018 acquisitions MiR and Energid, drove our Industrial Automation sales up 64% compared to Q3'17. Growing traction for UR’s next generation e-Series Cobots and expanded distribution for MiR's mobile platform powered the growth and positions us for a strong finish to the year.

With expected strong Industrial Automation and Semiconductor Test shipments, the mid-point of our Q4 guidance delivers another year with over $2 billion in sales and over $2 of earnings per share."

Guidance for the fourth quarter of 2018 is revenue of $480 million to $510 million, with GAAP net income of $0.39 to $0.46 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $0.46 to $0.54 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest, restructuring and other charges and includes the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP Results In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, Teradyne also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain income items and charges. These results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income exclude acquired intangible assets amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest, pension actuarial gains and losses, discrete income tax adjustments, fair value inventory step-up related to Mobile Industrial Robots, and restructuring and other, and includes the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments. GAAP requires that these items be included in determining income from operations and net income. Non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of revenue, non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP net income per share are non-GAAP performance measures presented to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Teradyne’s baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of Teradyne’s current core business or future outlook. These non-GAAP performance measures are used to make operational decisions, to determine employee compensation, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with Teradyne’s business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of Teradyne’s competitors. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes fair value inventory step-up related to Mobile Industrial Robots. GAAP requires that this item be included in determining gross margin. Non-GAAP gross margin dollar amount and percentage are non-GAAP performance 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. Non-GAAP diluted shares include the impact of Teradyne’s call option on its shares. Management believes each of these non-GAAP performance measures provides useful supplemental information for investors, allowing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision making and in the review of Teradyne’s financial and operational performance, as well as facilitating meaningful comparisons of Teradyne’s results in the current period compared with those in prior and future periods. 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.
