Orders in the first quarter of 2017 were $595 million of which $476 million were in Semiconductor Test, $46 million in System Test, $45 million in Industrial Automation, and $27 million in Wireless Test.
“We’re off to a great start in 2017 with year over year quarterly orders up 53%, revenue up 6%, and non-GAAP EPS up 42% to $0.44,” said CEO and President Mark Jagiela. “Semiconductor Test year over year quarterly orders were up 56% on broad strength in mobile, automotive, industrial analog, and Flash memory end market demand. Universal Robots’ (UR) year over year quarterly sales were up 117% powered by an expanding range of customers embracing the power of UR’s collaborative robots to reduce production costs and improve product quality.
“With our large backlog and strong first quarter orders, our Q2 revenue is expected to increase 28% year on year at the mid-point of our Q2 guidance. While we expect the familiar seasonality in the second half, we’re on track for another year of revenue and operating profit growth.”
Guidance for the second quarter of 2017 is revenue of $660 million to $700 million, with GAAP net income of $0.77 to $0.86 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $0.81 to $0.90 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.

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 asset amortization, non-cash
convertible debt interest, pension actuarial gains and losses, discrete
income tax adjustments and restructuring and other. 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 and 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 pension actuarial
gains and losses. GAAP requires that these items 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. 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

used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not
meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior
to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP.
