(NYSE: TER) reported revenue of $431 million for the first quarter of 2016 of which $340 million was in Semiconductor Test, $54 million in System Test, $20 million in Wireless Test and $17 million in Industrial Automation. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne’s net income in the first quarter was $64.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, pension actuarial gain and discrete income tax adjustments. GAAP net income for the first quarter was $50.0 million or $0.24 per share.

Orders in the first quarter of 2016 were $389 million of which $306 million were in Semiconductor Test, $46 million in System Test, $20 million in Wireless Test and $18 million in Industrial Automation.

Teradyne’s orders of $912 million over the last two quarters, driven by Q4’15's accelerated ordering of semiconductor testers for mobile products, were 11% above the $822 million in orders over the Q4'14 to Q1’15 period. Revenues were up 13%, $84 million, over the period.

“First quarter semiconductor test revenues are off to their strongest start in over 15 years,” said CEO and President Mark Jagiela. “Our UltraFLEX System-on-a-Chip platform led the revenue performance driven by expanding mobile device demand. At Universal Robots, sales were up 58% from the first quarter of 2015 and we’re tracking to our full year, 50% or greater growth plan as the range of applications and global demand for collaborative robots continue to expand. Looking ahead, at the mid-point of our second quarter guidance, we'll deliver the highest reported first half revenue since 2004 reflecting our strong bookings performance over the last six months.”

Guidance for the second quarter of 2016 is revenue of $510 million to $540 million, with non-GAAP net income of $0.46 to $0.53 per diluted share and GAAP net income of $0.38 to $0.45 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization.
