NORTH READING, Mass., April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) reported revenue of $782 million for the first quarter of 2021 of which $528 million was in Semiconductor Test, $133 million in System Test, $41 million in Wireless Test and $80 million in Industrial Automation (IA). GAAP net income for the first quarter was $205.5 million or $1.09 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the first quarter was $196.2 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, losses on convertible debt conversions, non-cash convertible debt interest, discrete tax items and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

“Coming off a strong 2020, we continued to grow both our Test and Industrial Automation businesses resulting in first quarter revenue growth of 11% compared to one year ago,” said Teradyne President and CEO Mark Jagiela.  “Test demand for automotive, industrial, memory, and mobility remain strong and growing.  The Industrial Automation recovery is in full swing with 33% growth compared to Q1 2020.

“Looking ahead, test demand at this point in the year is stronger than expected fueled by both continued device complexity increases and unit growth.  Both the SOC and Memory test markets will likely exceed the top end of our market forecast resulting in higher sales and profits as reflected in our Q2 guidance.  Additionally, increasing forecasts for wafer fabrication equipment investments are a strong indicator for test growth in the years to come.  In Industrial Automation, we remain on track for more than 30% revenue growth in 2021 as demand continues to strengthen.”  

Guidance for the second quarter of 2021 is revenue of $1,010 million to $1,090 million, with GAAP net income of $1.48 to $1.68 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $1.62 to $1.83 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.
