Our business and results of operations depend, in significant part, upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of [removed: semiconductors electronics] [added: semiconductors, electronics,] and other industrial products, which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand for those products.
We have taken actions to address the effects of general economic variability and recurring [removed: industry cyclicality, including implementing cost control and reduction measures.]
[removed: ##### [Table] [added: [Table] of [removed: Contents](#toc_page)][added: Contents](#toc_page)]
In each of the years, [removed: 2023, 2022] [added: 2024, 2023] and [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] our five largest direct customers in aggregate accounted for [removed: 32%, 26%] [added: 36%, 32%] and [removed: 33%] [added: 26%] of consolidated revenues, respectively.
We estimate consolidated revenues driven by [removed: one OEM customer,] [added: Samsung, a customer] of our Semiconductor Test and Wireless Test [removed: segments,] [added: Segments,] combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s [removed: OSATs (which include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.),] [added: OSATs,] accounted for [removed: 19%] [added: 12.5%] of our consolidated revenues in [removed: 2021.][added: 2024.]
In addition, an increasing portion of our products and the products we purchase from our suppliers are sourced or manufactured in foreign locations, including [removed: China,] Malaysia and Denmark, and a large portion of the devices our products test are fabricated and tested by foundries and subcontractors in Taiwan, China, Korea and other parts of Asia.
We have pursued a global tax strategy that could be adversely affected by the mix of earnings and tax rates in the countries where we operate, changes to tax [removed: laws,] [added: laws (including but not limited to Pillar Two),] tax regulations or an adverse tax ruling by administrative authorities.
While we intend to operate in such a manner to maintain and maximize our tax incentives and tax holidays, no assurance can be given that we have so qualified or that we will [removed: so] qualify for any particular year or jurisdiction.
The tax savings attributable to the Singapore tax holiday for the years ended December 31, [removed: 2023, 2022] [added: 2024, 2023] and [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] were [removed: $1.4] [added: $17.1] million or [removed: $0.01] [added: $0.10] per diluted share, [removed: $16.0] [added: $1.4] million or [removed: $0.09] [added: $0.01] per diluted share, and [removed: $33.3] [added: $16.0] million or [removed: $0.18] [added: $0.09] per diluted share, respectively.
For additional information see Note [removed: M:] [added: N:] “Commitments and Contingencies-Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In [added: 2024, we repurchased $199.4 million of common stock and, in] 2023, we repurchased $400.5 million of common stock.
We intend to repurchase up to [removed: $90.0] [added: $400] million in [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Our failure to comply with financial and other restrictive covenants could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, could result in the lenders requiring immediate payment of all outstanding borrowings or foreclosing on collateral pledged to them to secure the [removed: indebtedness.\[3\]][added: indebtedness.]
While [removed: the majority of our] revenues [added: in our test businesses] are [added: predominantly] in U.S. dollars, [removed: approximately 70%] [added: the majority] of our Robotics revenue [removed: in 2023 was] [added: is] denominated in foreign currencies.
[removed: On] [added: For example, on] March 10, 2023, *Silicon Valley Bank* [removed: (SVB),] [added: ("SVB"),] who is a lender in our revolving credit facility and where we maintain certain accounts and cash deposits, was placed into receivership with the [removed: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),] [added: FDIC,] which resulted in all funds held at SVB being temporarily inaccessible by SVB’s customers.
[removed: Although our cash balances at SVB are insignificant and we do not expect further developments at SVB to have a material impact on our cash and cash equivalents, we do] [added: We] hold cash balances in several large financial institutions significantly in excess of [removed: FDIC] [added: the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")] and global insurance limits.
If [removed: other] banks and financial institutions with whom we have banking relationships enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, we may be unable to access, and we may [removed: lose,] [added: lose] some or all of our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments to the extent those funds are not insured or otherwise protected by the FDIC.
disruption caused by health pandemics, [removed: such as the coronavirus;]
In addition, we rely on contract manufacturers for certain of our products, and our ability to meet customer orders [added: for those products depends upon the timeliness and quality of the work performed by these subcontractors, over whom we do not exercise any control.]
The global supply shortage of electrical components and inflationary cost increases [removed: has impacted] [added: impact] our ability to meet customer demand and could adversely affect our business and financial results.
The global supply shortage of electrical components, including semiconductor chips, [removed: continued to impact] [added: impacted] our supply chain in 2023.
As a result, we [removed: have experienced,] [added: experienced] and may experience in the future, increases in our lead times and costs for certain components for certain [removed: products and delays in the delivery of some orders placed by our customers.][added: products.]
In addition, [removed: in 2023,] inflationary pressures [added: have in the past] contributed to increased costs for product components [removed: and] [added: along with] wage [removed: inflation,] [added: inflation] which [removed: had] [added: yielded a] minimal impact [removed: on our cost] [added: to the costs] of [added: our] products, gross margin and profit for the year.
In an effort to mitigate these risks, [added: we may] in some cases, [removed: we have incurred] [added: incur] higher costs due to investment in supply chain resiliency and to secure available inventory or have extended or [removed: placed] non-cancellable purchase commitments with semiconductor suppliers, which introduces inventory risk if our forecasts [removed: and assumptions] prove inaccurate.
We have also sourced components from additional suppliers and multi-sourced and [removed: pre-ordered] [added: pre0ordered] components and finished goods inventory in some cases in an effort to reduce the impact of the adverse supply chain conditions we have [removed: experienced.][added: experienced in the past.]
However, if we are unable to secure manufacturing capacities from our current or new suppliers and contract manufacturers, on acceptable terms or at all, or successfully manage our purchase commitments and inventory for components, our ability to deliver our products to our customers in the desired quantities, at competitive prices or in a timely manner may be negatively impacted for [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
We depend on Flex Ltd. (“Flex”) to manufacture and test our FLEX and J750 family of products from its facility in Malaysia; Plexus Corp. (“Plexus”) to manufacture and test our Magnum products from its facilities in Malaysia and [removed: also] Thailand and [added: our] ETS family of products from its facility in Malaysia; SAM Meerkat to manufacture and test our storage test family of products from its facilities in Malaysia and Thailand and on other contract manufacturers to manufacture other products.
We expect intense competition for employees to continue in [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
[added: The loss of one or] more key or other employees, a decrease in our ability to attract additional qualified employees, or the delay in hiring key personnel could each have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Our operations, and the operations of our customers and suppliers, are subject to risks of natural catastrophic events, severe weather, widespread health epidemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks and the threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks, any one of which could result in cancellation of orders, delays in deliveries or other business activities, or loss of customers and could negatively affect our business and results of [removed: operations.][added: operations.]
[removed: Our] [added: For example, when our operations in Cebu, Philippines experienced a devastating typhoon, our] employees in Cebu succeeded in restoring most of our operations within days despite the severity of the damage in the region.
Despite [removed: these] [added: the] preventative security measures we have implemented, we may continue to be vulnerable to attempts by third parties to gain unauthorized access to our networks or sabotage our systems.
[removed: In addition, third party suppliers and service providers that we rely on to manage our networks and] systems and [added: who] process and store our proprietary and confidential data, including the data of our customers and suppliers, may also be subject to similar attacks.
[added: Such attempts could result in] the [added: misappropriation, theft, misuse, disclosure or loss or destruction of the] intellectual property, or the proprietary, confidential or personal information, of Teradyne or our employees, customers, suppliers or other third parties, as well as damage to or disruptions in our information technology networks and systems.
As a result, the existing [removed: tariff has] [added: tariffs have] not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition to the actions taken by the United States, China has implemented retaliatory tariffs on products made in the United States and imported into [removed: China, including certain Teradyne products.][added: China.]
However, notwithstanding our efforts, the retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by China [added: and possible future retaliatory actions by China or other nations] could disrupt our business operations, sales and supply chain and, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
[removed: Compliance] [added: As further described below, compliance] with these laws has not significantly limited our sales [added: over time,] but could significantly limit them in the future.
The U.S. government from time to time has issued export restrictions that prohibit U.S. companies from exporting U.S. manufactured products, foreign manufactured products with more than 25% controlled U.S. content, [added: foreign made product which was produced using U.S. technology,] as well as U.S. origin technology.
For example, the U.S. Department of Commerce has restricted the access of U.S. origin technologies to certain Chinese semiconductor companies by adding those companies to the Entity List [added: and the Foreign Direct Product Rule ("FDP")] under U.S. Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”).

We are exposed to risks related to the use of AI tools by us and others.
Although we are evaluating, and where we believe appropriate, incorporating AI tools into our products and operations, our use of AI tools may subject us to significant competitive, legal, regulatory and other risks, and there can be no assurance that our use of AI tools will enhance our products, business operations or result in a benefit to us.
Our competitors may be more successful in their use of AI tools, including by developing superior products or improving their operations with the assistance of AI.
Additionally, there could be adverse impacts from flawed algorithms.
Our use of AI tools, or our customers uses of our products that incorporate AI, could also result in the loss of confidential information or intellectual property or an inability to claim or enforce intellectual property rights, as well as subject us to risks related to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy, cybersecurity, and the unauthorized use of our data.
The jurisdictions in which we conduct business have and may adopt laws and regulations related to AI, which could cause us to incur greater compliance costs, limit our use of AI tools, or subject us to legal liabilities.
On February 1, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order directing the United States to impose an additional 10% tariff on all imports from China effective February 4, 2025.We plan to implement operational changes that mitigate some of the impact of these tariffs on the import of our impacted products into the United States.
These tariffs have not yet impacted Teradyne products.
In February, 2025, President Trump issued executive orders directing the United States to impose new or additional tariffs on certain imports from Canada, Mexico and China and subsequently announced his intention to pause such tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
While we do not believe any tariffs announced to date will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, we are still evaluating the potential impact of these tariffs and any additional tariffs implemented by the

Trump administration as well as any retaliatory actions by the impacted countries to our business and financial condition and outlook.
The actual impact on any new tariffs is subject to a number of factors including the effective date, duration, amount, scope and nature of the tariffs, any retaliatory actions any impacted country may take, and any mitigating actions that are available.
On December 2, 2024, certain of our customers and prospective customers were added to the U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List or FDP under EAR.
On December 2, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce released additional new rules updating export controls.

substantial delays in product shipments and may damage our reputation which could make it more difficult to sell our products.
In November 2023, we announced entering into strategic partnership agreement with Technoprobe which included
Teradyne acquiring 10% of the equity in Technoprobe.
Additionally, we may face restrictions pursuant to the terms of an acquisition or strategic alliance agreement, such as the three year restriction on the transfer or disposition of the Technoprobe shares upon closing of the agreement, subject to certain early termination events.
As of February 22, 2024, we have not borrowed any funds under this credit facility.
Our warrant transactions could impact the value of our stock.
On December 12, 2016, we completed a private offering of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) that matured on December 15, 2023.
Concurrent with the offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with the initial purchasers or their affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”).
Separately and concurrent with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties (the “Warrant Transactions”) in which we sold net-share-settled (or, at our election subject to certain conditions, cash-settled) warrants to the Option Counterparties.
The Warrant Transactions, which expire between March 18, 2024 and July 10, 2024, cover, subject to customary
anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.7 million shares of our common stock.
The strike price of the warrants is $39.40 per share.
The Warrant Transactions could result in increased common stock outstanding to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
Correspondingly, our results of operations and our ability to realize projected growth rates in sales and earnings in Robotics could be adversely affected if the U.S. dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies.
for those products depends upon the timeliness and quality of the work performed by these subcontractors, over whom we do not exercise any control.
Our supply chain team, and our suppliers, continue to manage numerous supply, production and logistics obstacles.
Also, our suppliers and contract manufacturers have increased their prices, which increased our cost of products.
The loss of one or
For example, in December 2021, our operations in Cebu, Philippines experienced a devastating typhoon.
Such attempts could result in the misappropriation, theft, misuse, disclosure or loss or destruction of
We have implemented operational changes that mitigate the impact of the 25% tariff on the import of our impacted products into the United States.
We have implemented, if appropriate, operational changes that would mitigate the impact of the retaliatory tariffs.
This action by the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed new export licensing requirements on exports, re-exports, and in-country transfers of all U.S. regulated products, software and technology to the designated Huawei entities.
On August 17, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce published final regulations expanding the scope of the U.S. EAR to include additional products that would become subject to export restrictions relating to Huawei entities including HiSilicon.
These new regulations restrict the sale to Huawei and the designated Huawei entities of certain non-U.S. made items, such as semiconductor devices, manufactured for or sold to Huawei entities including HiSilicon under specific, detailed conditions set forth in the new regulations.
These new regulations have impacted our sales to Huawei, HiSilicon and their suppliers.
We are taking appropriate actions, including filing license applications and obtaining licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
However, we do not expect these actions will mitigate the impact of the regulations on our sales to Huawei, HiSilicon and other suppliers.
As a result, the regulations will continue to have an adverse impact on our business and financial results.
It is uncertain the extent these new regulations and any additional regulations that may be implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce or other government agency may have on our business with other customers or potential customers.
Also, our controls related to Entity List compliance could be circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities.

In the second half of [removed: 2023,] [added: 2023 and the full year of 2024,] we saw improvements related to supply constraints and, consequently, did not experience material increases in our lead times and costs for components.
In addition, in [removed: the 2023,] [added: 2023 and 2024,] inflationary pressures contributed to increased costs for product components and wage inflation, which had a minimal impact on our cost of products, gross margin and profit for the year.
[added: This] determination is based on an assessment of contractual rights of the contract and the ability of the performance obligation to perform on its own or with readily available resources.
Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are not expected to be consumed within the forecasted demand window, is written [removed: down to estimated net realizable value.]

robotics (“Robotics”) products; and
In 2024, we saw strength in our Semiconductor Test business, with memory and compute offerings growing considerably compared to 2023.
We expect mobile, automotive, and industrial will grow in 2025 and that recent advancements in AI inference may help mid-term recovery in these markets.
Beyond AI compute, we are investing in other areas of the semiconductor test market that offer the opportunity for accelerating long-term growth, including power semi-conductors and the shift towards vertically integrated products ("VIPs").
We have seen the benefits start to materialize in 2024 and expect them to continue through the mid-term.
2024 was a very weak industrial automation market resulting in a year-over-year decline in Robotics revenues while outperforming our peer group.
In 2024, we built key OEM, systems integrators and large account strategic partnerships which will strengthen our go to market for years to come.
Introduction of new products, including the MiR 1200 Pallet Jack will further expand our available markets to support our growth.
On May 27, 2024, we paid 483.1 million Euros, equivalent to $524.1 million, to purchase a combination of previously issued and outstanding shares and shares newly issued by Technoprobe, S.p.A.
("Technoprobe").
The shares purchased represent 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Technoprobe.
We also received a board seat as part of the purchase.
Additionally, as part of the transaction, we completed the sale of the Device Interface Solutions ("DIS") business, a component of our Semiconductor Test segment, to Technoprobe for $85.0 million in cash, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, and a customary working capital adjustment.
The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $57.1 million recorded as 'Gain on sale of business' in the consolidated statement of operations.
Our capital allocation plan will continue to be balanced between investing in organic and inorganic growth and returning cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Government Regulations
We are subject to numerous United States and foreign laws and regulations, including, without limitation, tariffs, trade sanctions, trade barriers, trade embargoes, regulations relating to import-export control, technology transfer restrictions, and other laws and regulations.
Additionally, United States and foreign governmental authorities have taken, and may continue to take, administrative, legislative or regulatory action that could impact our operations.
We believe that our operations are in material compliance with applicable trade regulations.
The costs we incurred in complying with applicable trade regulations for the year ended December 31, 2024 were not material, and we do not currently expect the cost of complying with existing trade laws and regulations to have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures or earnings or on our competitive position in any one year.
It is possible, however, that future developments, including changes in laws and regulations or government policies, could lead to material costs, and such costs may have a material adverse effect on our future business or prospects.
For information regarding risks associated with import-export control regulations and similar applicable laws and regulations, see Part II - Item 1A "Risk Factors- Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Compliance" included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Equity Method Investments
We account for investments using the equity method of accounting when it has significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but not control, of the investee.
The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and included in the 'Equity method investment' in the consolidated balance sheet.
We record our share of investee's net income or loss and other comprehensive income, and the amortization of equity method basis difference, calculated as the difference between the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets acquired, on a 3-month lag, which is applied consistently from period to period.
Our share of investee's net income and the amortization of equity method basis difference are reported in 'Equity in net earnings of affiliate' in the consolidated statement of operations.
We include our share of investee's other comprehensive income and a cumulative translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
We monitor on an ongoing basis its equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in fair value below carrying value.

wireless test (“Wireless Test”) systems; and
In 2023, the demand in our Semiconductor Test business continued to be impacted by a correction cycle driven by excess semiconductor inventory, primarily in the mobility segment of the market.
The depth of this slowdown and the timing of the recovery are uncertain, however, strong automotive and image sensor demand partially offset these declines.
The growth of DDR5 and High Bandwidth Memory ("HBM") devices for data center applications continued to drive demand for our products in the memory market in 2023.
Over the midterm, we expect the ramp of 3 nanometer and gate-all-around process technology, increasing multichip packaging, additional device complexity and unit growth will drive additional demand for Semiconductor Test.
Our Robotics segment consists of Universal Robots A/S (“UR”), a leading supplier of collaborative robotic arms, and Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (“MiR”), a leading maker of AMRs for industrial automation.
The market for our Robotics segment products is dependent on the adoption of new automation technologies by large manufacturers as well as small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) throughout the world.
Demand in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased, tied to introduction of new products and seasonally high demand in Robotics after market softness and the impact of our channel transformation resulted in a weaker than forecasted first half of 2023.
On November 7, 2023, Teradyne and Technoprobe S.p.A, (“Technoprobe”), a leader in the design and production of probe cards, announced establishment of a strategic partnership that will seek to accelerate growth for both companies and enable higher performance semiconductor test interfaces for customers worldwide.
As part of the partnership, Teradyne will make an investment of 481.0 million Euros in exchange for a 10% equity investment in Technoprobe and Technoprobe will acquire 100% of Teradyne’s Device Interface Solutions ("DIS") business in exchange for $85.0 million.
The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2024.
In 2023, inflation had minimal effect on our results.
There was no material impact to our 2023 results due to changes in foreign exchange rates, however, in 2022, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar was a factor in lower than forecasted revenues in our Robotics segment.
We plan to continue investing in our growth while balancing capital allocations between stock repurchases and dividends and using capital for acquisitions.
Our supply chain team, and our suppliers, continue to manage numerous supply, production, and logistics obstacles.
In an effort to mitigate these risks, in some cases, we have incurred higher costs due to investment in supply chain resiliency and to secure available inventory or have extended or placed non-cancellable purchase commitments with semiconductor suppliers, which introduces inventory risk if our forecasts and assumptions prove inaccurate.
We have also sourced components from additional suppliers and multi-sourced and pre-ordered components and finished goods inventory in some cases in an effort to reduce the impact of the adverse supply chain conditions we have experienced.
Though these mitigation efforts have not had a material impact on our financial results, our continuing efforts may not be successful.
While our businesses could be impacted by supply constraints in the future, we do not anticipate supply chain constraints will have a material impact on our financial results in 2024.
Impact of the Israel-Hamas conflict on our Business
The recent Israel-Hamas conflict could have a negative impact on our future revenue and supply chain, either of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Our customers in Israel may experience delays in product releases due to impacts to their labor force and impacts on their suppliers because of the conflict, which could materially impact demand for our products.
Similarly, our suppliers in Israel may experience delays in providing us with parts due to the conflict.
In addition, the global economic uncertainty following the start of the conflict could impact demand for our products.
Impact of October 7, 2022 and October 17, 2023 U.S. Department of Commerce Regulations on our Business
On October 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce published new regulations restricting the export to China of advanced semiconductors, supercomputer technology, equipment for the manufacturing of advanced semiconductors and components and technology for the manufacturing in China of certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
As previously disclosed, the restrictions impacted Teradyne’s sales to certain companies in China and Teradyne’s manufacturing and development operations in China.
Teradyne mitigated the impact of these restrictions on its business by obtaining licenses from the Department of Commerce.
On October 17, 2023, the Department of Commerce released new rules updating the exporting controls issued on October 7, 2022.
The new rules which took effect on November 17, 2023 significantly limit the impact of the October 7, 2022 restrictions on Teradyne’s business.
However, the regulations may continue to have an adverse impact on certain actual or potential customers of Teradyne and on the global semiconductor industry.
To the extent the regulations impact actual and potential customers or disrupt the global semiconductor industry, Teradyne’s business and revenues will be adversely impacted.
See Part II—Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included herein for updates to our risk factors regarding risks associated with supply chain issues, international conflicts, and legal and regulatory compliance.

robotics (“Robotics”) products; and
In 2024, we saw strength in our Semiconductor Test business, with memory and compute offerings growing considerably compared to 2023.
We expect mobile, automotive, and industrial will grow in 2025 and that recent advancements in AI inference may help mid-term recovery in these markets.
Beyond AI compute, we are investing in other areas of the semiconductor test market that offer the opportunity for accelerating long-term growth, including power semi-conductors and the shift towards vertically integrated products ("VIPs").
We have seen the benefits start to materialize in 2024 and expect them to continue through the mid-term.
2024 was a very weak industrial automation market resulting in a year-over-year decline in Robotics revenues while outperforming our peer group.
In 2024, we built key OEM, systems integrators and large account strategic partnerships which will strengthen our go to market for years to come.
Introduction of new products, including the MiR 1200 Pallet Jack, will further expand our available markets to support our growth.
On May 27, 2024, we paid 483.1 million Euros, equivalent to $524.1 million, to purchase a combination of previously issued and outstanding shares and shares newly issued by Technoprobe, S.p.A.
("Technoprobe").
The shares purchased represent 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Technoprobe.
We also received a board seat as part of the purchase.
Additionally, as part of the transaction, we completed the sale of the Device Interface Solutions ("DIS") business, a component of our Semiconductor Test segment, to Technoprobe for $85.0 million in cash, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, and a customary working capital adjustment.

Equity Method Investments
Teradyne accounts for investments using the equity method of accounting when it has significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but not control, of the investee.
The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and included in ‘Equity method investment’ in the consolidated balance sheet.
Teradyne records its share of investee's net income or loss and other
[Table of Contents](#toc_page)
comprehensive income, and the amortization of equity method basis difference, calculated as the difference between the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets acquired, on a 3-month lag, which is applied consistently from period to period.
Teradyne's share of investee's net income and the amortization of equity method basis difference are reported in ‘Equity in net earnings of affiliate’ in the consolidated statement of operations.
Teradyne includes its share of investee's other comprehensive income and a cumulative translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Teradyne monitors on an ongoing basis its equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in fair value below carrying value.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration is classified as Level 3.
Assumptions utilized in the model include forecasted revenues, revenue volatility, earnings before interest and taxes, and discount rate.

Teradyne estimates the fair value of contingent consideration at the time of the acquisition using all pertinent information known to us at the time to assess the probability of payment of contingent amounts or through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Mezzanine equity representing unsettled shares value was reduced to zero and additional paid-in capital was reduced by $100.8 million.
This ASU will have no impact on Teradyne’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Upon adoption, Teradyne will apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior period disclosures presented in the financial statements.
