Teradyne reports Q3 2021 results

Teradyne, Inc. reported revenue of $951 million for the third quarter of 2021 of which $688 million was in Semiconductor Test, $103 million in System Test, $69 million in Wireless Test and $91 million in Industrial Automation (IA). GAAP net income for the third quarter was $256.7 million or $1.41 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the third quarter was $278.6 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, which excluded losses on convertible debt conversions, acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, non-cash convertible debt interest, discrete tax adjustments and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

“Demand for both our Test and Industrial Automation products remained strong in Q3 and we delivered our eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit, year on year revenue and profit growth,” said Teradyne CEO and President Mark Jagiela. “Higher than expected test shipments balanced lower than planned shipments from our Industrial Automation businesses as we encountered supply constraints in those product lines in the quarter.”

“Q4’21 sales are expected to increase over 10% from Q4 2020’s record level on growing demand in Industrial/Automotive Test, Storage Test, and Industrial Automation. Full year company sales, GAAP EPS and non-GAAP EPS are expected to grow 18%, 28% and 27%, respectively, at the mid-point of our guidance.”

Guidance for the fourth quarter of 2021 is revenue of $820 million to $900 million, with GAAP net income of $1.08 to $1.33 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $1.14 to $1.40 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization, non-cash convertible debt interest 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. 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.
