or superior to those we currently offer. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of
their current products and to introduce new products or new technologies that provide improved cost of
ownership and performance characteristics. See also “Item 1A: Risk Factors.”

Of the backlog at December 31, 2015, approximately 99% of the Semiconductor Test backlog, 93% of
System Test backlog, 46% of Wireless Test backlog and 100% of the Industrial Automation backlog, is expected
to be delivered in 2016.
Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without advanced notice, subject
to possible cancellation penalties. Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellation of
orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the actual sales for any succeeding
period. Delays in delivery schedules or cancellations of backlog during any particular period could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Raw Materials
Our products contain electronic and mechanical components that are provided by a wide range of suppliers.
Some of these components are standard products, while others are manufactured to our specifications. We can
7
experience occasional delays in obtaining timely delivery of certain items. While the majority of our components
are available from multiple suppliers, certain items are obtained from sole sources. We may experience a
temporary adverse impact if any of our sole source suppliers delay or cease to deliver products.
Intellectual Property and Licenses
The development of our products, both hardware and software, is based in significant part on proprietary
information, our brands and technology. We protect our rights in proprietary information, brands and technology
through various methods, such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
patents;
copyrights;
trademarks;
trade secrets;
standards of business conduct and related business practices; and
technology license agreements, software license agreements, non-disclosure agreements, employment
agreements, and other agreements.
However, these protections might not be effective in all circumstances. Competitors might independently
develop similar technology or exploit our proprietary information and our brands in countries where we lack
enforceable intellectual property rights or where enforcement of such rights through the legal system provides an
insufficient deterrent. Also, intellectual property protections can lapse or be invalidated through appropriate legal
processes. We do not believe that any single piece of intellectual property or proprietary rights is essential to our
business.
Employees
As of December 31, 2015, we employed approximately 4,100 people. Since the inception of our business,
we have experienced no work stoppages or other labor disturbances.
Engineering and Development Activities
The highly technical nature of our products requires a large and continuing engineering and development
effort. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, our engineering and development expenditures
were $292.3 million, $291.6 million, and $264.1 million, respectively. These expenditures accounted for
approximately 17.8%, 17.7%, and 18.5%, of our consolidated revenues in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.
Environmental Affairs
We are subject to various federal, state, and local government laws and regulations relating to the protection
of employee health and safety and the environment. We accrue for all known environmental liabilities when it
becomes probable that we will incur cleanup costs and those costs can reasonably be estimated. Estimated
environmental costs are not expected to materially affect the financial position or results of our operations in
future periods. However, estimates of future costs are subject to change due to protracted cleanup periods and
changing environmental remediation laws and regulations.

Item 1A: Risk Factors
Risks Associated with Our Business
The risks described below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Our business is impacted by global and industry-specific economic cycles, which are difficult to predict, and
actions we have taken or may take to offset these cycles may not be sufficient.
Capital equipment providers in the electronics and semiconductor industries, such as Teradyne, have, in the
past, been negatively impacted by both sudden slowdowns in the global economies and recurring cyclicality
within those industries. These cycles have resulted in periods of over-supply; a trend we believe will continue to
9
occur for newer generations of electronic products. Our business and results of operations depend, in significant
part, upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors and other electronics, which in turn depend
upon the current and anticipated market demand for those products. Disruption or deterioration in economic
conditions may reduce customer purchases of our products, thereby reducing our revenues and earnings. In
addition, such adverse changes in economic conditions, and resulting slowdowns in the market for our products,
may, among other things, result in increased price competition for our products, increased risk of excess and
obsolete inventories, increased risk in the collectability of our accounts receivable from our customers, potential
reserves for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable, increased risk of restructuring charges, and
higher operating costs as a percentage of revenues, which, in each case and together, adversely affect our
operating results. We are unable to predict the likely duration, frequency and severity of disruptions in financial
markets, credit availability, and adverse economic conditions throughout the world, and we cannot ensure that
the level of revenues or new orders for a fiscal quarter will be sustained in subsequent quarters. We have taken
actions to address the effects of general economic variability and recurring industry cyclicality, including
implementing cost control and reduction measures. If our businesses experience further downturns, whether due
to a deterioration in global economic conditions or slowdowns in specific markets we serve, we may need to take
further cost control and reduction measures. We cannot predict whether these measures will be sufficient to
offset global or market-specific disruptions that might affect our test businesses.
We are subject to intense competition.
We face significant competition throughout the world in each of our reportable segments. Some of our
competitors have substantial financial and other resources to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and
distribution of their products. We also face competition from emerging Asian equipment companies and internal
development at several of our customers. Some of our competitors have introduced or announced new products
with certain performance characteristics which may be considered equal or superior to those we currently offer.
We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and to introduce
new products or new technologies that provide improved cost of ownership and performance characteristics. New
product introductions by competitors could cause a decline in revenues or loss of market acceptance of our
products.
The market for our products is concentrated, and our business depends, in part, on obtaining orders from a
few significant customers.
The market for our products is concentrated with a limited number of significant customers accounting for a
substantial portion of the purchases of test equipment. In each of the years 2015, 2014 and 2013, our three largest
customers in aggregate accounted for 25%, 21% and 26% of consolidated revenues, respectively. In any one
reporting period, a single customer or several customers may contribute even a larger percentage of our
consolidated revenues. In addition, our ability to increase sales will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain
orders from current or new significant customers. The opportunities to obtain orders from these customers may
be limited, which may impair our ability to grow revenues. We expect that sales of our products will continue to
be concentrated with a limited number of significant customers for the foreseeable future. The loss of a
significant customer or any reduction in orders by these customers, including reductions due to market or
competitive conditions, would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.
Failure to realize the estimated sales value of equipment leased to our customers may adversely affect our
results of operations.
We occasionally lease equipment to our customers, typically for a term of one year. The cost of the leased
equipment is recorded as an asset on our balance sheet and depreciated over an estimated useful life of
approximately four years. Realization of the leased equipment’s value depends on numerous factors including:
the technological obsolescence of the leased equipment; elections by customers to terminate a lease prior to
10
scheduled termination; the general market conditions at the time of expiration of the lease; the customer’s
election to renew the lease; and the cost of comparable new equipment. Our inability to realize the value of
leased equipment could cause a decrease in revenues and an increase in asset write-offs which would in each case
reduce our operating income.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly.
Our operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially adversely affect
revenues or profitability. The following factors could impact future operations:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
a worldwide economic slowdown or disruption in the global financial markets;
competitive pressures on selling prices;
our ability to introduce, and the market acceptance of, new products;
changes in product revenues mix resulting from changes in customer demand;
the level of orders received which can be shipped in a quarter because of the tendency of customers to
wait until late in a quarter to commit to purchase due to capital expenditure approvals and constraints
occurring at the end of a quarter, or the hope of obtaining more favorable pricing from a competitor
seeking the business;
engineering and development investments relating to new product introductions, and the expansion of
manufacturing, outsourcing and engineering operations in Asia;
provisions for excess and obsolete inventory relating to the lack of demand for and the discontinuance
of products;
impairment charges for certain long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill;
an increase in the leasing of our products to customers;
our ability to expand our global distribution channel for our collaborative robots;
parallel or multi-site testing could lead to a decrease in the ultimate size of the market for our products;
and
the ability of our suppliers and subcontractors to meet product quality or delivery requirements needed
to satisfy customer orders for our products, especially if product demand increases.
As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we have experienced and may continue to experience material
fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis which could materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition, operating results or stock price.
We are subject to risks of operating internationally.
A significant portion of our total revenues is derived from customers outside the United States. Our
international sales and operations are subject to significant risks and difficulties, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements affecting international markets;
changes in tariffs and exchange rates;
social, political and economic instability, acts of terrorism and international conflicts;
difficulties in protecting intellectual property;
difficulties in accounts receivable collection;
cultural differences in the conduct of business;
11
•
•
•
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
compliance with customs regulations; and
compliance with international tax laws and regulations.
In addition, an increasing portion of our products and the products we purchase from our suppliers are
sourced or manufactured in foreign locations, including China, and a large portion of the devices our products
test are fabricated and tested by foundries and subcontractors in Taiwan, China, Singapore and other parts of
Asia. As a result, we are subject to a number of economic and other risks, particularly during times of political or
financial instability in these regions. Disruption of manufacturing or supply sources in these international
locations could materially adversely impact our ability to fill customer orders and potentially result in lost
business.
If we fail to develop new technologies to adapt to our customers’ needs and if our customers fail to accept our
new products, our revenues will be adversely affected.
We believe that our technological position depends primarily on the technical competence and creative
ability of our engineers. In a rapidly evolving market, such as ours, the development or acquisition of new
technologies, commercialization of those technologies into products and market acceptance and customer
demand for those products are critical to our success. Successful product development or acquisition,
introduction and acceptance depend upon a number of factors, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
new product selection;
ability to meet customer requirements;
development of competitive products by competitors;
timely and efficient completion of product design;
timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing and manufacturing processes;
timely remediation of product performance issues, if any, identified during testing;
assembly processes and product performance at customer locations;
differentiation of our products from our competitors’ products;
• management of customer expectations concerning product capabilities and product life cycles;
•
•
ability to attract and retain technical talent; and
innovation that does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
If our suppliers do not meet product or delivery requirements, we could have reduced revenues and earnings.
Certain components, including semiconductor chips, may be in short supply from time to time because of
high industry demand or the inability of some vendors to consistently meet our quality or delivery requirements.
Approximately 25% of material purchases require some custom work where having multiple suppliers would be
cost prohibitive. If any of our suppliers were to cancel contracts or commitments or fail to meet the quality or
delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for our products, we could lose time-sensitive customer
orders, have significantly decreased revenues and earnings and be subject to contractual penalties, which would
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we rely
on contract manufacturers for certain subsystems used in our products, and our ability to meet customer orders
for those products depends upon the timeliness and quality of the work performed by these subcontractors, over
whom we do not exercise any control.
To a certain extent, we are dependent upon the ability of our suppliers and contractors to help meet
increased product or delivery requirements. It may be difficult for certain suppliers to meet delivery requirements
in a period of rapid growth, therefore impacting our ability to meet our customers’ demands.
12
We rely on the financial strength of our suppliers. There can be no assurance that the loss of suppliers either
as a result of financial viability, bankruptcy or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations or financial condition.
Our operations may be adversely impacted if our outsourced contract manufacturers or service providers fail
to perform.
We depend on Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics”) to manufacture and test our FLEX and J750
family of products from its facility in China and on other contract manufacturers to manufacture other products.
If for any reason these contract manufacturers cannot provide us with these products in a timely fashion, or at all,
we may not be able to sell these products to our customers until we enter a similar arrangement with an
alternative contract manufacturer. If we experience a problem with our supply of products from Flextronics or
our other contract manufacturers, it may take us significant time to either manufacture the product or find an
alternate contract manufacturer, which could result in substantial expense and disruption to our business.
We have also outsourced a number of our general and administrative functions, including information
technology, to reputable service providers, many of which are in foreign countries, sometimes impacting
communication with them because of language and time differences. Their presence in foreign countries also
increases the risk they could be exposed to political risk. Additionally, there may be difficulties encountered in
coordinating the outsourced operations with existing functions and operations. If we fail in successfully
coordinating and managing the outsourced service providers, it may cause an adverse effect on our operations
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We may not fully realize the benefits of our acquisitions or strategic alliances.
In June 2015, we acquired Universal Robots. We may not be able to realize the benefit of acquiring
Universal Robots or successfully grow Universal Robots’ business. We may continue to acquire additional
businesses, form strategic alliances or create joint ventures with third parties that we believe will complement or
augment our existing businesses. We may not be able to realize the expected synergies and cost savings from the
integration with our existing operations of other businesses or technologies that we may acquire. In addition, the
integration process for our acquisitions may be complex, costly and time consuming and include unanticipated
issues, expenses and liabilities. We may have difficulty in developing, manufacturing and marketing the products
of a newly acquired company in a manner that enhances the performance of our combined businesses or product
lines and allows us to realize value from expected synergies. Following an acquisition, we may not achieve the
revenue or net income levels that justify the acquisition. Acquisitions may also result in one-time charges (such
as acquisition-related expenses, write-offs or restructuring charges) or in the future, impairment of goodwill, that
adversely affect our operating results. Additionally, we may fund acquisitions of new businesses, strategic
alliances or joint ventures by utilizing our cash, incurring debt, issuing shares of our common stock, or by other
means.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $98.9 million in our Wireless Test segment as a result of decreased projected demand
attributable to an estimated smaller future wireless test market due to reuse of wireless test equipment, price
competition and different testing techniques. Further reductions in the size of the wireless test market may occur,
which may result in additional goodwill impairment charges, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories,
asset write-offs and restructuring charges.
We may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with environmental regulations.
We are subject to both domestic and international environmental regulations and statutory strict liability
relating to the use, storage, discharge, site cleanup and disposal of hazardous chemicals used in our
manufacturing processes. If we fail to comply with present and future regulations, or are required to perform site
13
remediation, we could be subject to future liabilities or cost, including penalties or the suspension of production.
Present and future regulations may also:
•
•
•
•
•
restrict our ability to expand facilities;
restrict our ability to ship certain products;
require us to modify our operations logistics;
require us to acquire costly equipment; or
require us to incur other significant costs and expenses.
Pursuant to present regulations and agreements, we are conducting groundwater and subsurface assessment
and monitoring and are implementing remediation and corrective action plans for facilities located in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire which are no longer conducting manufacturing operations. As of
December 31, 2015, we have not incurred material costs as result of the monitoring and remediation steps taken
at the Massachusetts and New Hampshire sites.
On January 27, 2003, the European Union adopted the following directives: (i) the directive on the
Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “RoHS
Directive”); and (ii) the directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “WEEE Directive”). The
WEEE Directive became effective August 13, 2005 and the RoHS Directive became effective on July 6, 2006.
Both the RoHS Directive and the WEEE Directive alter the form and manner in which electronic equipment is
imported, sold and handled in the European Union. Other jurisdictions, such as China, have followed the
European Union’s lead in enacting legislation with respect to hazardous substances and waste removal. Ensuring
compliance with the RoHS Directive, the WEEE Directive and similar legislation in other jurisdictions, and
integrating compliance activities with our suppliers and customers could result in additional costs and disruption
to operations and logistics and thus, could have a negative impact on our business, operations or financial
condition.
We currently are, and in the future may be, subject to litigation or regulatory proceedings that could have an
adverse effect on our business.
From time to time, we may be subject to litigation or other administrative, regulatory or governmental
proceedings, including tax audits and resulting claims that could require significant management time and
resources and cause us to incur expenses and, in the event of an adverse decision, pay damages or incur costs in
an amount that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Third parties may claim we are infringing their intellectual property and we could suffer significant litigation
costs, licensing expenses or be prevented from selling our products.
We have been sued for patent infringement in the past and receive notifications from time to time that we
may be in violation of patents held by others. An assertion of patent infringement against us, if successful, could
have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our products or it could force us to seek a license to the
intellectual property rights of others or alter such products so that they no longer infringe the intellectual property
rights of others. A license could be very expensive to obtain or may not be available at all. Similarly, changing
our products or processes to avoid infringing the rights of others may be costly or impractical. Additionally,
patent litigation could require a significant use of management resources and involve a lengthy and expensive
defense, even if we eventually prevail. If we do not prevail, we might be forced to pay significant damages,
obtain licenses, modify our products, or stop making our products; each of which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
14
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property (“IP”), we may lose a valuable asset or may incur costly
litigation to protect our rights.
We protect the technology that is incorporated in our products in several ways, including through patent,
copyright, trademark and trade secret protection and by contractual agreement. However, even with these
protections, our IP may still be challenged, invalidated or subject to other infringement actions. While we believe
that our IP has value in the aggregate, no single element of our IP is in itself essential. If a significant portion of
our IP is invalidated or ineffective, our business could be materially adversely affected.
We may incur higher tax rates than we expect and may have exposure to additional international tax liabilities
and costs.
We are subject to paying income taxes in the United States and various other countries where we operate.
Our effective tax rate is dependent on where our earnings are generated and the tax regulations and the
interpretation and judgment of administrative tax or revenue entities in the United States and other countries. We
have pursued a global tax strategy which could adversely be affected by the mix of earnings and tax rates in the
countries where we operate, changes to tax laws or an adverse tax ruling by administrative entities. We are also
subject to tax audits in the countries where we operate. Any material assessment resulting from an audit from an
administrative tax or revenue entity could also negatively affect our financial results.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both
the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. In certain foreign jurisdictions, we qualify for tax incentives
and tax holidays based on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various tests relating to our employment
levels, research and development expenditures and other qualification requirements in a particular foreign
jurisdiction. While we intend to operate in such a manner to maintain and maximize our tax incentives, no
assurance can be given that we have so qualified or that we will so qualify for any particular year or jurisdiction.
If we fail to qualify and to remain qualified for certain foreign tax incentives and tax holidays, we may be subject
to further taxation or an increase in our effective tax rate which would adversely impact our financial results. In
December 2015, Teradyne entered into an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board which
extended our Singapore tax holiday under substantially similar terms to the agreement which expired on
December 31, 2015. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020. The tax savings
attributable to the Singapore tax holiday for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were
$11.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share, $13.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share and $4.7 million or $0.02 per
diluted share, respectively.
In addition, we may incur additional costs, including headcount expenses, in order to maintain or obtain a
foreign tax incentive in a particular foreign jurisdiction.
We have significant guarantees, indemnification and customer confidentiality obligations.
From time to time, we make guarantees to customers regarding the delivery, price and performance of our
products and guarantee certain indebtedness, performance obligations or lease commitments of our subsidiary
and affiliate companies. We also have agreed to provide indemnification to our officers, directors, employees and
agents, to the extent permitted by law, arising from certain events or occurrences while the officer, director,
employee or agent, is or was serving at our request in such capacity. Additionally, we have confidentiality
obligations to certain customers and if breached would require the payment of significant penalties. If we become
liable under any of these obligations, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or
operating results. For additional information see Note J: “Commitments and Contingencies—Guarantees and
Indemnification Obligations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We may discontinue or reduce our quarterly cash dividend or share repurchase program.
In January 2014, our Board of Directors initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share. In January 2015,
our Board of Directors authorized Teradyne to repurchase up to $500 million of common stock. In 2015, we
15
repurchased $300 million of common stock. In 2016, we intend to repurchase between $100 million and $200
million of common stock. Holders of our common stock are only entitled to receive dividends when and if they
are declared by our Board of Directors. Future cash dividends and share repurchases are subject to the discretion
of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements and
financial condition. While we have declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock and authorized a
share repurchase program, we are not required to do either and may reduce or eliminate our cash dividend or
share repurchase program in the future. The reduction or elimination of our cash dividend or our share repurchase
program could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may incur indebtedness.
On April 27, 2015, we entered into a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $350 million.
Subject to customary conditions, we may seek to obtain from existing or new lenders incremental commitments
under the credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million. We have not borrowed any
funds under this credit facility. We could borrow funds under this credit facility at any time for general corporate
purposes and working capital. Incurring indebtedness, among other things, could:
• make it difficult to pay other obligations;
• make it difficult to obtain any necessary future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt
service requirements or other purposes;
•
•
require the dedication of a substantial portion of any cash flow from operations to service our
indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of cash flow available for other purposes, including capital
expenditures; and
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets in which we
compete.
Restrictive covenants in the agreement governing our senior secured revolving credit facility may restrict our
ability to pursue business strategies.
The agreement governing our senior secured revolving credit facility limits our ability, among other things,
to: incur additional secured indebtedness; sell, transfer, license or dispose of assets; consolidate or merge; enter
into transactions with our affiliates; and incur liens. In addition, our senior secured revolving credit facility
contains financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our
long term best interest, such as, subject to permitted exceptions, making capital expenditures in excess of certain
thresholds, making investments, loans and other advances, and prepaying any additional indebtedness while our
indebtedness under our senior secured revolving credit facility is outstanding. 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 indebtedness.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees.
Competition for employees with skills we require is intense in the high technology industry. Our success
will depend on our ability to attract and retain key technical employees. 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.
New regulations related to conflict minerals may adversely affect us.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act imposes new disclosure requirements
regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries
16
in our products, whether or not these products are manufactured by third parties. This requirement could affect
the pricing, sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of components we use in our products.
In addition, there are additional costs associated with complying with the disclosure requirements, such as costs
related to determining the source of any conflict minerals used in our products. Our supply chain is complex and
we may be unable to verify the origins for all minerals used in our products. As a result, we may be unable to
certify that our products are conflict free.
Our operations, and the operations of our customers and suppliers, are subject to risks of natural catastrophic
events, 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 operations.
Our business is international in nature, with our sales, service and administrative personnel and our
customers and suppliers located in numerous countries throughout the world. Our operations, and those of our
customers and suppliers, are subject to disruption for a variety of reasons, including work stoppages, acts of war,
terrorism, health epidemics, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, energy shortages,
telecommunication failures, tsunamis, flooding or other natural disasters. Such disruption could materially
increase our costs and expenses as well as cause delays in, among other things, shipments of products to our
customers, our ability to perform services requested by our customers, or the installation and acceptance of our
products at customer sites. Any of these conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial conditions or results of operations.
A breach of our operational or security systems could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
We rely on various information technology networks and systems, some of which are managed by third
parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, including confidential data, and to carry out and
support a variety of business activities, including manufacturing, research and development, supply chain
management, sales and accounting. A failure in or a breach of our operational or security systems or
infrastructure, or those of our suppliers and other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks, could
disrupt our business, result in the disclosure or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, damage our
reputation, cause losses and increase our costs.
We may face risks associated with shareholder activism.
Publicly traded companies have increasingly become subject to campaigns by shareholders advocating
corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases or
divestitures. We may become subject in the future to such shareholder activity and demands. Such activities
could interfere with our ability to execute our business plans, be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our
operations, divert the attention of management or result in our initiating borrowing or increasing our share
repurchase plan or dividend, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business or stock price.
Provisions of our charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult.
There are provisions in our basic corporate documents and under Massachusetts law that could discourage,
delay or prevent a change in control, even if a change in control may be regarded as beneficial to some or all of
our stockholders.

Legal Proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business
such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. We believe that we have
meritorious defenses against all pending claims and intend to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to
predict or determine the outcomes of any pending claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise,
we believe the potential losses associated with all of these actions are unlikely to have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a leading global supplier of automation equipment for test and industrial applications. We design,
develop, manufacture and sell automatic test systems used to test semiconductors, wireless products, data storage
and complex electronics systems in the consumer electronics, wireless, automotive, industrial, computing,
communications, and aerospace and defense industries. Our industrial automation products include collaborative
robots used by global manufacturing and light industrial customers to improve quality, increase manufacturing
efficiency and decrease manufacturing costs. Our automatic test equipment and industrial automation products
and services include:
•
•
semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”) systems;
defense/aerospace (“Defense/Aerospace”) test instrumentation and systems, storage test (“Storage
Test”) systems, and circuit-board test and inspection (“Production Board Test”) systems (collectively
these products represent “System Test”);
• wireless test (“Wireless Test”) systems; and
•
industrial automation (“Industrial Automation”) products.
We have a broad customer base which includes integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”), outsourced
semiconductor assembly and test providers (“OSATs”), wafer foundries, fabless companies that design, but
contract with others for the manufacture of integrated circuits (“ICs”), developers of wireless devices and
consumer electronics, manufacturers of circuit boards, automotive suppliers, wireless product manufacturers,
storage device manufacturers, aerospace and military contractors, and distributors that sell collaborative robots.
On June 11, 2015, we acquired Universal Robots A/S (“Universal Robots”) for approximately $284 million
of cash plus up to an additional $65 million of cash if certain performance targets are met extending through
2018. Universal Robots is the leading supplier of collaborative robots which are low-cost, easy-to-deploy and
simple-to-program robots that work side by side with production workers to improve quality, increase
manufacturing efficiency and decrease manufacturing costs. Universal Robots is a separate operating and
reportable segment, Industrial Automation. The acquisition of Universal Robots provides a growth engine to our
business and complements our existing System Test and Wireless Test segments. The total purchase price for
Universal Robots was approximately $315 million.
In 2014, we acquired Avionics Interface Technologies, LLC (“AIT”), a supplier of equipment for testing
state-of-the-art data communication buses. The acquisition of AIT complements our Defense/Aerospace line of
bus test instrumentation for commercial and defense avionics systems. AIT is included in our System Test
21
segment. The total purchase price for AIT was approximately $21 million, which included cash paid of
approximately $19 million and $2 million in fair value of contingent consideration payable upon achievement of
revenue and gross margin targets in 2015 and 2016. No contingent consideration was paid for 2015. The
maximum remaining contingent consideration that could be paid is $1.1 million.
In 2013, we acquired ZTEC Instruments Inc. (“ZTEC”), a supplier of modular wireless test instruments. The
acquisition of ZTEC expands our Wireless Test segment into the design verification test of wireless components
and chipsets. The total purchase price for ZTEC was approximately $17 million, which included cash paid of
approximately $15 million and $2 million in fair value of contingent consideration payable upon achievement of
certain customer order and revenue targets through 2015. None of the contingent consideration was paid.
We believe our recent acquisitions have enhanced our opportunities for growth. We will continue to invest
in our business, grow market share in our markets and expand further our addressable markets while tightly
managing our costs.
The sales of our products and services are dependent, to a large degree, on customers who are subject to
cyclical trends in the demand for their products. These cyclical periods have had, and will continue to have, a
significant effect on our business since our customers often delay or accelerate purchases in reaction to changes
in their businesses and to demand fluctuations in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Historically, these
demand fluctuations have resulted in significant variations in our results of operations. The sharp swings in the
semiconductor and electronics industries in recent years have generally affected the semiconductor and
electronics test equipment and services industries more significantly than the overall capital equipment sector.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $98.9 million in our Wireless Test segment as a result of decreased projected demand
attributable to an estimated smaller future wireless test market due to reuse of wireless test equipment, price
competition and different testing techniques. Further reductions in the size of the wireless test market may occur,
which may result in additional goodwill impairment charges, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories,
asset write-offs and restructuring charges.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the policies discussed below as critical to understanding our business and our results of
operations and financial condition. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business
operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss have
passed, delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers
upon shipment or at delivery destination point. In circumstances where either title or risk of loss pass upon
destination, acceptance or cash payment, we defer revenue recognition until such events occur except when title
transfer is tied to cash payment outside the United States. Outside the United States, we recognize revenue upon
shipment or at delivery destination point, even if we retain a form of title to products delivered to customers,
provided the sole purpose is to enable us to recover the products in the event of customer payment default and the
arrangement does not prohibit the customer’s use or resale of the product in the ordinary course of business.
Our equipment has non-software and embedded software components that function together to deliver the
equipment’s essential functionality. Revenue is recognized upon shipment or at delivery destination point,
provided that customer acceptance criteria can be demonstrated prior to shipment. Certain contracts require us to
22
perform tests of the product to ensure that performance meets the published product specifications or customer
requested specifications, which are generally conducted prior to shipment. Where the criteria cannot be
demonstrated prior to shipment, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance has been received. We also defer
the portion of the sales price that is not due until acceptance, which represents deferred profit.
For multiple element arrangements, we allocate revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling
prices. In such circumstances, a hierarchy is used to determine the selling price for allocating revenue to
deliverables as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party
evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”). For a delivered item to be
considered a separate unit, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis and the
delivery or performance of the undelivered item must be considered probable and substantially in our control.
Our post-shipment obligations include installation, training services, one-year standard warranties, and
extended warranties. Installation does not alter the product capabilities, does not require specialized skills or
tools and can be performed by the customers or other vendors. Installation is typically provided within five days
of product shipment and is completed within one to two days thereafter. Training services are optional and do not
affect the customers’ ability to use the product. We defer revenue for the selling price of installation and training.
Extended warranties constitute warranty obligations beyond one year and we defer revenue in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-20,
“Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts” and ASC 605-25, “Revenue
Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements.” Service revenue is recognized over the contractual period or as
services are performed.
Our products are generally subject to warranty and the related costs of the warranty are provided for in cost
of revenues when product revenue is recognized. We classify shipping and handling costs in cost of revenues.
We do not provide our customers with contractual rights of return for any of our products.
Translation of Non-U.S. Currencies
The functional currency for all non-U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for the Industrial Automation
segment for which the local currency is its functional currency. All foreign currency denominated monetary
assets and liabilities are remeasured on a monthly basis into the functional currency using exchange rates in
effect at the end of the period. All foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities are
remeasured into the functional currency using historical exchange rates. Net foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from remeasurement are included in other (income) expense, net. For Industrial Automation, assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenue and
expense amounts are translated using an average of exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation
adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Retirement and Postretirement Plans
We recognize net actuarial gains and losses and the change in the fair value of the plan assets in our
operating results in the year in which they occur or upon any interim remeasurement of the plans. We calculate
the expected return on plan assets using the fair value of the plan assets. Actuarial gains and losses are generally
measured annually as of December 31 and, accordingly, recorded during the fourth quarter of each year or upon
any interim remeasurement of the plans.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. On a quarterly
basis, we use consistent methodologies to evaluate all inventories for net realizable value. We record a provision
23
for both excess and obsolete inventory when such write-downs or write-offs are identified through the quarterly
review process. The inventory valuation is based upon assumptions about future demand, product mix, and
possible alternative uses.
Equity Incentive and Stock Purchase Plans
Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” As required by ASC 718, we have made an
estimate of expected forfeitures and are recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based compensation
awards expected to vest.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax
basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance
if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We performed the
required assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets in
accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This assessment included the evaluation of
scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax-planning
strategies. Although realization is not assured, based on our assessment, we concluded that it is more likely than
not that such assets, net of the existing valuation allowance, will be realized. U.S. income taxes are not provided
for on the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries which are expected to be reinvested indefinitely in operations outside
the U.S. For intra-period tax allocations, we first utilize non-equity related tax attributes, such as net operating
losses and credit carryforwards, and then equity-related tax attributes. We use the with-and-without method for
calculating excess stock compensation deductions and do not take into account any indirect impacts of excess
stock compensation deductions on its research and development tax credits, domestic production activities
deduction, and other differences between financial reporting and tax reporting.
Investments
We account for our investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with the provisions of ASC 320-10,
“Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” On a quarterly basis, we review our investments to identify and
evaluate those that have an indication of a potential other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in
determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include:
• The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;
• The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and
• The intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery in market value.
Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
We assess goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, as of December 31, on a reporting
unit basis, or more frequently, when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may
be impaired. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is
compared with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair
value, an impairment charge is recorded in an amount equal to that excess. No goodwill impairment was
identified in 2015 or 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and
recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $98.9 million in our Wireless Test segment as a result of decreased
projected demand attributable to an estimated smaller future wireless test market due to reuse of wireless test
equipment, price competition and different testing techniques.
24
We assess the impairment of intangible and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important in the determination of an
impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results,
significant changes in the manner that we use the acquired asset and significant negative industry or economic
trends.
There were no events or circumstances indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable in 2015 or
2013. As a result of the Wireless Test segment goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2014
described above, we performed an impairment test of the Wireless Test segment’s intangible and long-lived
assets based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the assets and
there was no indication of impairment. When we determine that the carrying value of intangible and long-lived
assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we
measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate
with the associated risks.

The decrease in Semiconductor Test revenues of $99.3 million, or 8%, from 2014 to 2015 was primarily due
to a decrease in system-on-a-chip (“SOC”) product volume, driven by smaller microcontroller, power
management and radio frequency test markets.
The increase in Semiconductor Test revenues of $277.8 million, or 27%, from 2013 to 2014 was primarily
due to higher SOC product volume, driven by a larger application processor test market.
The increase in System Test revenues of $49.1 million, or 30%, from 2014 to 2015 was primarily due to
higher sales in Storage Test of 3.5” hard disk drive testers used for testing drives for cloud storage applications.
The increase in System Test revenues of $9.5 million, or 6%, from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to higher
product volume in Storage Test driven by solid state disk testers and by Production Board Test driven by
automotive test applications, partially offset by lower Defense/Aerospace product sales.
Wireless Test revenues were approximately flat from 2014 to 2015 as an increase in cellular product volume
was offset by lower connectivity product volume.
The decrease in Wireless Test revenues of $67.4 million, or 27%, from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to
lower cellular and connectivity product volume driven by a smaller wireless test market.
The acquisition of Universal Robots, completed in June of 2015, added $41.9 million of revenue in 2015.
Universal Robots is our Industrial Automation segment.

Our product revenues decreased $23.4 million, or 2%, in 2015 from 2014 primarily due to lower SOC
product volume, driven by smaller microcontroller, power management and radio frequency test markets. This
decrease was partially offset by higher sales in Storage Test of 3.5” hard disk drive testers for cloud storage and
the addition of Universal Robots in 2015. Service revenues, which are derived from the servicing of our installed
base of products and include equipment maintenance contracts, repairs, extended warranties, parts sales, and
applications support, increased $15.2 million or 5%.
Our product revenues increased $209.1 million, or 18%, in 2014 from 2013 primarily due to an increase in
SOC test product volume, driven by a larger application processor test market. This increase was partially offset by
lower cellular and connectivity product volume in Wireless Test. Service revenues increased $10.8 million or 4%.
In 2015, revenues from one customer accounted for 13% of our consolidated revenues. In 2013, revenues
from a different customer accounted for 12% of our consolidated revenues. In 2014, no single customer

We assess the carrying value of our inventory on a quarterly basis by estimating future demand and
comparing that demand against on-hand and on-order inventory positions. Forecasted revenue information is
obtained from the sales and marketing groups and incorporates factors such as backlog and future product
demand. This quarterly process identifies obsolete and excess inventory. Obsolete inventory, which represents
items for which there is no demand, is fully reserved. Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are
not expected to be consumed during the next twelve quarters for our Semiconductor Test, System Test and
Industrial Automation segments and next four quarters for our Wireless Test segment, is written-down to
estimated net realizable value.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded an inventory provision of $21.3 million included in
cost of revenues, due to the following factors:
— A charge of $15.3 million due to downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels, of which
$8.2 million was for our 2.5” hard disk drive testers in Storage Test, $4.5 million was in Semiconductor
Test and $2.5 million was in Wireless Test; and
— A $6.0 million inventory write-down as a result of product transition in Semiconductor Test.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded an inventory provision of $22.2 million included in
cost of revenues, due to the following factors:
— A charge of $15.4 million due to downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels, of which
$8.1 million was in Semiconductor Test, $5.2 million was in Wireless Test and $2.1 million was in
System Test; and
28
— A $6.8 million inventory write-down as a result of product transition, of which $6.3 million was in
Semiconductor Test and $0.5 million in Wireless Test.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded an inventory provision of $16.6 million included in
cost of revenues, due to the following factors:
— A charge of $12.2 million due to downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels, of which
$5.2 million was in Semiconductor Test, $4.2 million was in System Test and $2.8 million was in
Wireless Test; and
— A $4.4 million inventory write-down as a result of product transition in Wireless Test.
During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we scrapped $7.0 million, $20.8 million and
$35.3 million of inventory, respectively, and sold $7.9 million, $13.1 million and $9.8 million of previously
written-down or written-off inventory, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, we had inventory related reserves
for amounts which had been written-down or written-off totaling $119.4 million. We have no pre-determined
timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

Goodwill Impairment
We assess goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, as of December 31. The fourth
quarter 2015 and 2013 goodwill impairment tests did not identify any goodwill impairments. In the fourth quarter
of 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $98.9
million in our Wireless Test segment as a result of decreased projected demand attributable to an estimated
smaller future wireless test market due to reuse of wireless test equipment, price competition and different testing
techniques.
Further reductions in the size of the wireless test market may occur, which may result in additional goodwill
impairment charges, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories, asset write-offs and restructuring charges.
Restructuring and Other
Other
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $3.6 million of other charges of which $5.3 million
was for the increase in the fair value of the Universal Robots contingent consideration liability and $1.0 million
for acquisition costs related to Universal Robots, partially offset by a $2.9 million gain from fair value
adjustments to decrease the acquisition contingent consideration liability related to ZTEC, $1.6 million, and AIT,
$1.3 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded a $0.6 million gain from the fair value adjustment
to decrease the ZTEC acquisition contingent consideration, partially offset by $0.4 million of acquisition costs
related to AIT.
Restructuring
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $1.5 million of severance charges related to
headcount reductions of 23 people primarily in System Test and Semiconductor Test.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $1.6 million of severance charges related to
headcount reductions of approximately 43 people, primarily in Semiconductor Test and Wireless Test.
30
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $1.9 million of severance charges related to
headcount reductions of 48 people primarily in System Test and Semiconductor Test and a $0.4 million credit in
Corporate related to a change in the estimated exit costs related to a leased facility.
The remaining accrual for severance of $0.4 million is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation
and withholdings on the balance sheet and is expected to be paid by March 2016.

Included in Corporate are pension and postretirement plans actuarial gains and losses, contingent
consideration adjustments, interest income and interest expense.
The increase in income before income taxes from 2014 to 2015 was primarily due to a $98.9 million
goodwill impairment charge related to Wireless Test in 2014 and lower pension expense related to actuarial
losses of $17.7 million in 2015 as compared to $46.6 million in 2014. Actuarial losses of $46.6 million in 2014
were primarily related to increases in life expectancy in the U.S.
The decrease in income before income taxes from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to a $98.9 million
goodwill impairment charge related to Wireless Test and $46.6 million pension expense related to actuarial
losses in 2014, partially offset by higher income due to higher revenues in Semiconductor Test in 2014.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for 2015, 2014 and 2013 totaled $46.6 million, $14.1 million and $37.0 million,
respectively. The effective tax rate for 2015, 2014 and 2013 was 18.4%, 14.8% and 18.3%, respectively. The
31
increase in the effective tax rate from 2014 to 2015 resulted from a shift in the geographic distribution of income
which increased income subject to taxation in the United States relative to lower tax rate jurisdictions and a
reduction in the benefit from U.S. research and development tax credits. These increases in the effective tax rate
were partially offset by decreases associated with uncertain tax positions and a non-deductible goodwill
impairment charge. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 was primarily attributable to a shift
in the geographic distribution of income which decreased income subject to taxation in the United States relative
to lower tax rate jurisdictions, partially offset by increases in the effective tax rate associated with uncertain tax
positions and a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge.
In December 2015, Teradyne entered into an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board
which extended our Singapore tax holiday under substantially similar terms to the agreement which expired on
December 31, 2015. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020. The tax savings
attributable to the Singapore tax holiday for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were
$11.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share, $13.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share and $4.7 million or $0.02 per
diluted share, respectively.

Included in other long-term liabilities are liabilities for customer advances, extended warranty, uncertain tax
positions, deferred tax liabilities and other obligations. For certain long-term obligations, we are unable to
provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments relating to these obligations and
therefore we included these amounts in the column marked “Other.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance decreased $291 million to $1,008 million from
2014 to 2015.
In 2015, changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of businesses acquired, provided cash of
$9.3 million. This was due to a $38.7 million increase in operating assets and a $48.0 million increase in
operating liabilities.
The increase in operating assets was due to a $57.3 million increase in accounts receivable due to an
increase in sales during the last month of the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, partially offset by a
$15.6 million decrease in inventories and a $3.0 million decrease in prepayments and other assets.
The increase in operating liabilities was due to a $37.0 million increase in accounts payable as a result of
our planned inventory increase in the fourth quarter of 2015 as we added material to maintain attractive lead
32
times, a $17.0 million increase in customer advance payments and deferred revenue and a $11.3 million increase
in other accrued liabilities, partially offset by $12.1 million of retirement plans contributions and a $5.2 million
increase in income taxes.
Investing activities during 2015 used cash of $113.7 million, due to $1,424.0 million used for purchases of
marketable securities, $282.7 million used for the acquisition of Universal Robots, and $89.9 million used for
purchases of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable
securities of $360.3 million and $1,316.1 million, respectively, proceeds from the sale of an equity investment of
$5.4 million, and proceeds from life insurance of $1.1 million related to the cash surrender value from the
cancellation of Teradyne owned life insurance policies. The decrease in purchases of property, plant and
equipment of $79.1 million was primarily due to an increase in purchases of testers for customer leasing in 2014.
Financing activities during 2015 used cash of $328.7 million, due to $300.0 million used for the repurchase
of 15.6 million shares of common stock at an average price of $19.20 per share, $50.7 million used for dividend
payments, and $2.3 million used for debt issuance costs related to our April 2015 revolving credit facility,
partially offset by $19.5 million from the issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and stock
option plans and $4.7 million from the tax benefit related to employee stock compensation awards.
In 2014, changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of businesses acquired, provided cash of
$68.5 million. This was due to a $101.4 million decrease in operating assets and a $32.9 million decrease in
operating liabilities.
The decrease in operating assets was due to a $41.5 million decrease in prepayments and other assets
primarily related to a reduction in prepayments to our contract manufacturers, a $51.8 million decrease in
inventories due to higher sales, and an $8.1 million decrease in accounts receivable.
The decrease in operating liabilities was due to $33.9 million of retirement plan contributions, a
$17.0 million decrease in other accrued liabilities, a $16.9 million decrease in accounts payable, a $7.3 million
decrease in accrued employee compensation due primarily to employee stock awards payroll taxes and variable
compensation payments, a $4.3 million convertible note interest payment, partially offset by a $24.4 million
increase in income taxes, and a $22.0 million increase in customer advance payments and deferred revenue.
Investing activities during 2014 used cash of $332.9 million due to $1,578.7 million used for purchases of
marketable securities and $169.0 million used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, and $19.4 million
used for the acquisition of AIT, completed in October 2014, partially offset by proceeds from sales and
maturities of marketable securities that provided cash of $859.7 million and $570.4 million, respectively, and net
proceeds from life insurance of $4.2 million primarily related to the cash surrender value from the cancellation of
Teradyne owned life insurance policies on its retired chief executive officer. The increase in purchase of
property, plant and equipment of $62.3 million in 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 is
primarily due to testers used for customer leases.
Financing activities during 2014 used cash of $206.6 million, $191.0 million of cash was used for payments
on long-term debt related to the convertible note and a loan in Japan and $37.4 million was used for dividend
payments, partially offset by $21.3 million provided by the issuance of common stock under employee stock
purchase and stock option plans and $0.5 million from the tax benefit related to stock options and restricted stock
units.
In 2013, changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of businesses acquired, used cash of $49.6 million.
This was due to a $31.0 million increase in operating assets and an $18.6 million decrease in operating liabilities.
The increase in operating assets was due to a $49.6 million increase in prepayments due primarily to
prepayments to our contract manufacturers and a $3.7 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by
a $22.3 million decrease in inventories.
33
The decrease in operating liabilities was due to a $2.5 million decrease in accrued employee compensation
due primarily to employee stock awards payroll taxes and variable compensation payments, a $28.9 million
decrease in customer advance payments and deferred revenue, and $5.5 million of retirement plan contributions,
partially offset by a $13.9 million increase in other accrued liabilities, a $3.7 million increase in accounts payable
due to higher fourth quarter sales volume, and a $0.7 million increase in income taxes.
Investing activities during 2013 used cash of $283.3 million. In October 2013, we completed the acquisition
of ZTEC for an initial cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $15.0 million. Purchases of property, plant
and equipment were $106.7 million. Purchases of marketable securities used cash of $1,170.5 million, partially
offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities that provided cash of $516.5 million and
$458.5 million, respectively. The sale of an equity investment provided cash of $34.2 million. Purchases of life
insurance policies used cash of $0.3 million.
Financing activities during 2013 provided cash of $17.3 million, $17.6 million was from the issuance of
common stock under stock option and stock purchase plans, and $2.7 million from the tax benefit related to stock
options and restricted stock units, partially offset by $0.4 million of cash used for payments related to LitePoint
acquisition contingent consideration and $2.5 million of cash used for payments on long-term debt related to a
loan in Japan.
In January 2015, May 2015, August 2015 and November 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly
dividend of $0.06 per share. Total dividend payments in 2015 were $50.7 million.
In January 2014, our Board of Directors declared an initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share. In
each of the second, third and fourth quarters of 2014, we paid a cash dividend of $0.06 per share. Total dividend
payments in 2014 were $37.4 million.
In January 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share to be paid on
March 21, 2016 to shareholders of record as of February 26, 2016. Payment of future cash dividends are subject
to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital
requirements and financial condition.
In January 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of common stock.
As of December 31, 2015, we repurchased 15.6 million shares of common stock at an average price of $19.20,
for a total cost of $300.0 million. In 2016, we intend to repurchase between $100 million and $200 million of
common stock.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance will be sufficient to pay our
quarterly dividend, execute our authorized share repurchase program and meet our working capital and
expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities in the U.S. and our operations in the U.S. provide sufficient liquidity to fund our business activities in
the U.S. We have approximately $588 million of cash outside the U.S. that if repatriated would incur additional
taxes. Determination of the additional taxes that would be incurred is not practicable due to uncertainty regarding
the remittance structure, the mix of earnings and earnings and profit pools in the year of remittance, and overall
complexity of the calculation. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.
Retirement Plans
ASC 715-20, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans” requires an employer with
defined benefit plans or other postretirement benefit plans to recognize an asset or a liability on its balance sheet
for the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans as defined by ASC 715-20. The pension asset or liability
represents the difference between the fair value of the pension plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation
as of December 31. For other postretirement benefit plans, the liability is the difference between the fair value of
the plan’s assets and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31.
34
Our pension expense, which includes the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan (“U.S. Plan”), certain qualified plans
for non-U.S. subsidiaries, and a U.S. Supplemental Executive Defined Benefit Plan, was approximately
$21.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The largest portion of our 2015 pension expense was $10.5
million for our U.S. Plan. Pension expense or income is calculated based upon a number of actuarial
assumptions. Discount rate and expected return on assets are two assumptions which are important elements of
pension plan expense/income and asset/liability measurement. We evaluate our discount rate and expected rate of
return on assets assumptions annually on a plan and country specific basis. We evaluate other assumptions
related to demographic factors, such as retirement age, mortality and turnover periodically, and update them to
reflect our experience and expectations for the future. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we updated the mortality
assumptions related to our U.S retirement plans using the mortality tables published in October 2014 by the U.S.
Society of Actuaries. The change in the mortality assumptions resulted in approximately $39.0 million of
actuarial losses in 2014 for the U.S. retirement plans.
In developing the expected return on U.S. Plan assets assumption, we evaluated input from our investment
manager and pension consultants, including their review of asset class return expectations. Based on this review,
we believe that 4.8% was an appropriate rate to use for 2015. The December 31, 2015 asset allocation for our
U.S. Plan was 89% invested in fixed income securities, 10% invested in equity securities, and 1% invested in
other securities. Our investment manager regularly reviews the actual asset allocation and periodically rebalances
the portfolio to ensure alignment with our target allocations.
We recognize net actuarial gains and losses and the change in the fair value of plans assets in our operating
results in the year in which they occur or upon any interim remeasurement of the plans. We calculate the
expected return on plan assets using the fair value of the plan assets. Actuarial gains and losses are generally
measured annually as of December 31 and, accordingly, recorded during the fourth quarter of each year or upon
any interim remeasurement of the plans.
The discount rate that we utilized for determining future pension obligations for the U.S. Plan is based on
the Citigroup Pension Index adjusted for the U.S. Plan’s expected cash flows and was 4.0% at December 31,
2015, up from 3.7% at December 31, 2014. We estimate that in 2016 we will recognize approximately $0.5
million of pension income for the U.S. Plan. The U.S. Plan pension income estimate for 2016 is based on a 4.0%
discount rate and a 4.8% return on assets. Future pension expense or income will depend on future investment
performance, changes in future discount rates and various other factors related to the employee population
participating in our pension plans.
As of December 31, 2015, our pension plans had unrecognized pension prior service cost of $0.2 million.
We performed a sensitivity analysis, which expresses the potential U.S. Plan (income) expense for the year
ending December 31, 2016, which would result from changes to either the discount rate or the expected return on
plan assets. The below estimates exclude the impact of any potential actuarial gains or losses. It is difficult to
reliably forecast or predict whether there will be any actuarial gains or losses in 2016 as they are primarily driven
by events and circumstances beyond our control, such as changes in interest rates and the performance of the
financial markets.

The assets of the U.S. Plan consist substantially of fixed income securities. U.S. Plan assets have decreased
from $316.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $298.4 million at December 31, 2015 while the U.S. Plan’s liability
decreased from $313.0 million at December 31, 2014 to $297.8 million at December 31, 2015.
35
Our funding policy is to make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local laws and to the
extent that such contributions are tax deductible. During 2015, we made contributions of $8.0 million to the U.S.
Plan, $2.5 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and $0.8 million to certain
qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. We expect to contribute approximately $2.6 million to the U.S.
supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan in 2016. Contributions to be made in 2016 to certain
qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries are based on local statutory requirements and are estimated at
approximately $0.8 million. We do not expect to make any contributions to the U.S. Plan in 2016.
Equity Compensation Plans
In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in Note N: “Stock Based Compensation”
in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we have a 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan
(the “2006 Equity Plan”) under which equity securities are authorized for issuance. The 2006 Equity Plan was
initially approved by stockholders on May 25, 2006.
At our annual meeting of stockholders held May 21, 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to the
2006 Equity Plan to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder by 10.0 million, for an aggregate of
32.0 million shares issuable thereunder, and our stockholders also approved an amendment to our 1996
Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder by 5.0 million, for an
aggregate of 30.4 million shares issuable thereunder.

In connection with the 2008 acquisition of Nextest (the “Nextest Acquisition”), we assumed the options and
restricted stock units granted under the Nextest Systems Corporation 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, as
amended, and the Nextest Systems Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Nextest
Plans”). Upon the consummation of the Nextest Acquisition, these options and restricted stock units were
converted automatically into, respectively, options to purchase and restricted stock units representing, an
aggregate of 4,417,594 shares of our common stock. No additional awards will be granted under the Nextest
Plans. As of December 31, 2015, there were outstanding options exercisable for an aggregate of
4,528 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Nextest Plans, with a weighted average exercise price of
$5.72 per share.
In connection with the 2008 acquisition of Eagle Test (the “Eagle Acquisition”), we assumed the options
granted under the Eagle Test Systems, Inc. 2003 Stock Option and Grant Plan and the Eagle Test Systems,
Inc. 2006 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Eagle Plans”). Upon the consummation of the
Eagle Acquisition, these options were converted automatically into options to purchase an aggregate of
3,594,916 shares of our common stock. No additional awards will be granted under the Eagle Plans. As of

(5)
December 31, 2015, there were outstanding options exercisable for an aggregate of 94,980 shares of our
common stock pursuant to the Eagle Plans, with a weighted average exercise price of $3.87 per share.
In connection with the 2011 acquisition of LitePoint Corporation (the “LitePoint Acquisition”), we assumed
the options granted under the LitePoint Corporation 2002 Stock Plan (the “LitePoint Plan”). Upon the
consummation of the LitePoint Acquisition, these options were converted automatically into options to
purchase an aggregate of 2,828,344 shares of our common stock. No additional awards will be granted
under the LitePoint Plan. As of December 31, 2015, there were outstanding options exercisable for an
aggregate of 457,192 shares of our common stock pursuant to the LitePoint Plan, with a weighted average
exercise price of $2.70 per share.
The purpose of the 2006 Equity Plan is to motivate employees, officers and directors by providing equity
ownership and compensation opportunities in Teradyne. The aggregate number of shares available under the
2006 Equity Plan as of December 31, 2015 was 10,913,160 shares of our common stock. The 2006 Equity Plan
authorizes the grant of stock-based awards in the form of (1) non-qualified and incentive stock options, (2) stock
appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards, (4) phantom stock, and (5) other
stock-based awards. Awards may be tied to time-based vesting schedules and/or performance-based vesting
measured by reference to performance criteria chosen by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors,
which administers the 2006 Equity Plan. Awards may be made to any employee, officer, consultant and advisor
of Teradyne and our subsidiaries, as well as, to our directors. The maximum number of shares of stock-based
awards that may be granted to one participant during any one fiscal year is 2,000,000 shares of common stock.
The 2006 Equity Plan will expire on May 12, 2025.
As of December 31, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock
units and options was $44.9 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3
years.
Performance Graph
The following graph compares the change in our cumulative total shareholder return in our common stock
with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, the NYSE Composite Index and
the Morningstar Semiconductor Equipment & Materials Index. The comparison assumes $100.00 was invested
on December 31, 2010 in our common stock and in each of the foregoing indices and assumes reinvestment of
dividends, if any. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future price performance. This
is the last year that we will compare ourselves to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and the Philadelphia
Semiconductor Index. Going forward, we will compare ourselves to (1) the NYSE Composite Index, as we are no
37
longer included in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and (2) the Morningstar Semiconductor Equipment &
Materials Industry Group (compiled by Morningstar, Inc.) as this better aligns us with companies in the broader
semiconductor equipment industry.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, “Balance Sheet
Classification of Deferred Taxes.” ASU 2015-17 is aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards.
Currently GAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be presented as a net current asset or liability
and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the
classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate, or, in the case of
loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuation
allowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent
deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, the new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities,
along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each
jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change
the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction; companies are still prohibited from
offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new
guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those
years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance may
be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively by reclassifying the
comparative balance sheet. We will early adopt this ASU prospectively in January 2016. This ASU is expected to
have no impact on our results of operations.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Simplifying the
Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize
adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in
which the adjustments are identified, including the cumulative effect of the change in provisional amount as if
the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2015 and is applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted
this ASU in the three months ended October 4, 2015. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our
financial position and results of operations.
38
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,”
which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying
value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation for debt discount. ASU 2015-03 does not
specifically address requirements for the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related
to line-of-credit arrangements. On August 8, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of
Interest (Subtopic 835-30)” clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements could be
presented as an asset and amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there
are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. For Teradyne, the standard is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those
years. This ASU is expected to have no impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),”
which will replace numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provide
companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The
core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to show the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be
entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred
the effective date of the new revenue standard by 1 year. For Teradyne, the standard will be effective in the first
quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date (that is, annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2016). The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full
retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the
modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized
at the date of initial application. We have not yet selected a transition method. We are currently evaluating the
impact of this ASU on our financial position and results of operations.
Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
equivalents, marketable securities, forward currency contracts and accounts receivable. Our cash equivalents
consist primarily of money market funds invested in U.S. Treasuries and government agencies. Our fixed income
available-for-sale marketable securities have a minimum rating of AA by one or more of the major credit rating
agencies. We place forward currency contracts with high credit-quality financial institutions in order to minimize
credit risk exposure. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large
number of geographically dispersed customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’
financial condition and from time to time may require customers to provide a letter of credit from a bank to
secure accounts receivable. One customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance as of
December 31, 2015. A different customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance as of
December 31, 2014.
Exchange Rate Risk Management
We regularly enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the value of our monetary assets and
liabilities in Japanese Yen, British Pound, Korean Won, Taiwan Dollar, Singapore Dollar and Euro. These
foreign currency forward contracts have maturities of approximately one month. These contracts are used to
minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the remeasurement of monetary assets and
liabilities. We do not engage in currency speculation.
We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in foreign exchange rates to
the hedging contracts and the underlying exposures described above. As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013,
the analysis indicated that these hypothetical market movements would not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
39
Interest Rate Risk Management
We are exposed to potential losses due to changes in interest rates. Our interest rate exposure is primarily in
the Netherlands, United States and Singapore related to short-term and long-term marketable securities.
In order to estimate the potential loss due to interest rate risk, a fluctuation in interest rates of 25 basis points
was assumed. Market risk for the short and long-term marketable securities was estimated as the potential change
in the fair value resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates for securities contained in the investment
portfolio. The potential change in the fair value from changes in interest rates is immaterial as of December 31,
2015 and 2014.

Item 8:
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Teradyne, Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) (1) present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Teradyne, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at
December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under
Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with
the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial
statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial
statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting appearing
under Item 9A, management has excluded Universal Robots A/S from its assessment of internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business
combination on June 11, 2015. We have also excluded Universal Robots A/S from our audit of internal control
over financial reporting. Universal Robots A/S is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total
revenues represent 14% and 3%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2015.

TERADYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. THE COMPANY
Teradyne, Inc. (“Teradyne”) is a leading global supplier of automation equipment for test and industrial
applications. Teradyne designs, develops, manufactures and sells automatic test systems used to test
semiconductors, wireless products, data storage and complex electronics systems in the consumer electronics,
wireless, automotive, industrial, computing, communications, and aerospace and defense industries. Teradyne’s
industrial automation products include collaborative robots used by global manufacturing and light industrial
customers to improve quality, increase manufacturing efficiency and decrease manufacturing costs. Teradyne’s
automatic test equipment and industrial automation products and services include:
•
•
•
•
semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”) systems;
defense/aerospace (“Defense/Aerospace”) test instrumentation and systems, storage test (“Storage
Test”) systems, and circuit-board test and inspection (“Production Board Test”) systems (collectively
these products represent “System Test”);
wireless test (“Wireless Test”) systems; and
industrial automation (“Industrial Automation”) products.
On June 11, 2015, Teradyne acquired Universal Robots A/S (“Universal Robots”) for approximately
$284 million of cash plus up to an additional $65 million of cash if certain performance targets are met extending
through 2018. Universal Robots is the leading supplier of collaborative robots which are low-cost, easy-to-deploy
and simple-to-program robots that work side by side with production workers. Universal Robots is a separate
operating and reportable segment, Industrial Automation.
B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Certain prior years’ amounts were
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to inventories,
investments, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, accounts receivable, income taxes, deferred tax
assets, pensions, warranties, and loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and
on appropriate and customary assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Teradyne recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss
have passed, delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable
and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss generally pass to Teradyne’s
customers upon shipment or at delivery destination point. In circumstances where either title or risk of loss pass
upon destination, acceptance or cash payment, Teradyne defers revenue recognition until such events occur
except when title transfer is tied to cash payment outside the United States. Outside the United States, Teradyne
47
recognizes revenue upon shipment or at delivery destination point, even if Teradyne retains a form of title to
products delivered to customers, provided the sole purpose is to enable Teradyne to recover the products in the
event of customer payment default and the arrangement does not prohibit the customer’s use or resale of the
product in the ordinary course of business.
Teradyne’s equipment has non-software and software components that function together to deliver the
equipment’s essential functionality. Revenue is recognized upon shipment or at delivery destination point,
provided that customer acceptance criteria can be demonstrated prior to shipment. Certain contracts require
Teradyne to perform tests of the product to ensure that performance meets the published product specifications or
customer requested specifications, which are generally conducted prior to shipment. Where the criteria cannot be
demonstrated prior to shipment, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance has been received. Teradyne also
defers the portion of the sales price that is not due until acceptance, which represents deferred profit.
For multiple element arrangements, Teradyne allocates revenue to all deliverables based on their relative
selling prices. In such circumstances, a hierarchy is used to determine the selling price for allocating revenue to
deliverables as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party
evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”). For a delivered item to be
considered a separate unit the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis and the
delivery or performance of the undelivered item must be considered probable and substantially in Teradyne’s
control.
Teradyne’s post-shipment obligations include installation, training services, one-year standard warranties,
and extended warranties. Installation does not alter the product capabilities, does not require specialized skills or
tools and can be performed by the customers or other vendors. Installation is typically provided within five days
of product shipment and is completed within one to two days thereafter. Training services are optional and do not
affect the customers’ ability to use the product. Teradyne defers revenue for the selling price of installation and
training. Extended warranties constitute warranty obligations beyond one year and Teradyne defers revenue in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
605-20, “Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts” and ASC 605-25,
“Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements.” Service revenue is recognized over the contractual
period or as services are performed.
Teradyne’s products are generally subject to warranty and related costs of the warranty are provided for in
cost of revenues when product revenue is recognized. Teradyne classifies shipping and handling costs in cost of
revenue. Teradyne does not provide its customers with contractual rights of return for any of its products.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, deferred revenue and customer advances consisted of the following and
are included in the short and long-term deferred revenue and customer advances:

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The volatility of the
industries that Teradyne serves can cause certain of its customers to experience shortages of cash flows, which
can impact their ability to make required payments. Teradyne maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Estimated allowances
for doubtful accounts are reviewed periodically taking into account the customer’s recent payment history, the
customer’s current financial statements and other information regarding the customer’s credit worthiness.
Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined the receivable will not be
recovered.
49
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. On a quarterly
basis, Teradyne uses consistent methodologies to evaluate all inventories for net realizable value. Teradyne
records a provision for both excess and obsolete inventory when such write-downs or write-offs are identified
through the quarterly review process. The inventory valuation is based upon assumptions about future demand,
product mix and possible alternative uses.
Investments
Teradyne accounts for its investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with the provisions of
ASC 320-10, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320-10 requires that certain debt and equity
securities be classified into one of three categories; trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities. On a
quarterly basis, Teradyne reviews its investments to identify and evaluate those that have an indication of a
potential other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-
temporary include:
• The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;
• The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and
• The intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery in market value.
As defined in ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” fair value is the price that would
be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. Teradyne uses the market and income approach techniques to value its financial instruments and
there were no changes in valuation techniques during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
ASC 820-10 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the
following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date.
For example, a common approach for valuing fixed income securities is the use of matrix pricing. Matrix
pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities’ relationship to other
benchmark quoted prices, and therefore is considered a Level 2 input.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not supported by market data. Unobservable inputs are developed
based on the best information available, which might include Teradyne’s own data.
In accordance with ASC 820-10, Teradyne measures its debt and equity investments at fair value. Teradyne’s
debt and equity investments are primarily classified within Level 1 and 2. Acquisition-related contingent
consideration is classified within Level 3. Teradyne determines the fair value of acquisition-related contingent
consideration based on an assessment of the probability that it would be required to make such payment.

Retirement and Postretirement Plans
Teradyne recognizes net actuarial gains and losses and the change in the fair value of the plan assets in its
operating results in the year in which they occur or upon any interim remeasurement of the plans. Teradyne
calculates the expected return on plan assets using the fair value of the plan assets. Actuarial gains and losses are
generally measured annually as of December 31 and, accordingly, recorded during the fourth quarter of each year
or upon any interim remeasurement of the plans.
Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
Teradyne accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-10, “Intangibles-
Goodwill and Other.” Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic life and are carried at
cost less accumulated amortization. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, as
of December 31, on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating
that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. In accordance with ASC 350-10, Teradyne has the option to perform
a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is
less than its carrying amount. If Teradyne determines this is the case, Teradyne is required to perform the two-
step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill
impairment loss to be recognized. If Teradyne determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the
reporting unit is greater than its carrying amounts, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.
In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” Teradyne reviews long-
lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer
appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the
recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based
on a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment, if any, contain
management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time. There were no events or
circumstances indicating that the carrying value of intangible and long-lived assets may not be recoverable in
2015 or 2013. In 2014, as a result of the Wireless Test segment goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter
of 2014, Teradyne performed an impairment test of the Wireless Test segment’s intangible and long-lived assets
based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the assets and there was
no indication of impairment.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements and major renewals are capitalized and included in property, plant and equipment
accounts while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense. When
assets are retired, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
Teradyne provides for depreciation of its assets principally on the straight-line method with the cost of the
assets being charged to expense over their useful lives as follows:

Test systems manufactured internally are used by Teradyne for customer evaluations and manufacturing and
support of its customers. Teradyne depreciates the test systems manufactured internally over a six-year life to
cost of revenues, engineering and development, and selling and administrative expenses. Teradyne often sells
internally manufactured test equipment to customers. Upon the sale of an internally manufactured test system,
the net book value of the system is transferred to inventory and expensed as cost of revenues. The net book value
of internally manufactured test systems sold in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was
$50.7 million, $9.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively.
Engineering and Development Costs
Teradyne’s products are highly technical in nature and require a large and continuing engineering and
development effort. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility
are charged to expense. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological
feasibility are capitalized until the product is available for release to customers. To date, the period between
achieving technological feasibility and general availability of the product has been short and software
development costs eligible for capitalization have not been material. Engineering and development costs are
expensed as incurred and consist primarily of salaries, contractor fees, allocated facility costs, depreciation, and
tooling costs.
Stock Compensation Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” As required by ASC 718-10, Teradyne has
made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based
compensation awards expected to vest.
Under its stock compensation plans, Teradyne has granted stock options, restricted stock units and
performance-based restricted stock units, and employees are eligible to purchase Teradyne’s common stock
through its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax
basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance
if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Teradyne performed the
required assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets in
accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This assessment included the evaluation of
scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax-planning
strategies. Although realization is not assured, based on its assessment, Teradyne concluded that it is more likely
than not that such assets, net of the existing valuation allowance, will be realized. U.S. income taxes are not
provided for on the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries which are expected to be reinvested indefinitely in
operations outside the U.S. For intra-period tax allocations, Teradyne first utilizes non-equity related tax
attributes, such as net operating losses and credit carryforwards and then equity-related tax attributes. Teradyne
uses the with-and-without method for calculating excess stock compensation deductions and does not take into
account any indirect impacts of excess stock compensation deductions on its research and development tax
credits, domestic production activities deduction, and other differences between financial reporting and tax
reporting.
Advertising Costs
Teradyne expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $3.3 million, $1.9 million and
$1.7 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
52
Translation of Non-U.S. Currencies
The functional currency for all subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for the Industrial Automation segment
for which the local currency is its functional currency. All foreign currency denominated monetary assets and
liabilities are remeasured on a monthly basis into the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the end
of the period. All foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the
functional currency using historical exchange rates. Net foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
remeasurement are included in other (income) expense, net. For Industrial Automation, assets and liabilities are
translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenue and expense amounts
are translated using an average of exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation adjustments are
recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Net foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are included in other (income)
expense, net and were a gain of $2.5 million, a loss of $0.9 million and a loss of $6.9 million, respectively, for
the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. These amounts do not reflect the corresponding gains
(losses) from foreign exchange contracts. See Note F: “Financial Instruments” regarding foreign exchange
contracts.
Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, diluted net
income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of
common shares plus common stock equivalents, if applicable.
Dilutive potential common shares included incremental shares from the assumed conversion of the
convertible notes and the convertible notes hedge warrant shares, during the periods the convertible notes and
warrants were outstanding. Incremental shares from the assumed conversion of the convertible notes were
calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the conversion price
of $5.48, multiplied by 34.7 million shares. The result of this calculation, representing the total intrinsic value of
the convertible debt, was divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period. Convertible notes hedge
warrant shares were calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and
the warrant price of $7.67, multiplied by 34.7 million shares. The result of this calculation, representing the total
intrinsic value of the warrant, was divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period. Teradyne’s call
option for 34.7 million shares at an exercise price of $5.48 was not used in the GAAP earnings per share
calculation as its effect was anti-dilutive.
Teradyne settled its conversion spread (i.e., the intrinsic value of the embedded option feature contained in
the convertible debt) in shares. Teradyne accounted for its conversion spread using the treasury stock method.
Teradyne determined that it had the ability and intent to settle the principal amount of the convertible debt in
cash; accordingly, the principal amount was excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income, unrealized pension and postretirement prior service costs
and benefits, unrealized gains and losses on investments in debt and equity marketable securities and foreign
currency translation adjustment.
C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, “Balance Sheet
Classification of Deferred Taxes.” ASU 2015-17 is aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards.
53
Currently, GAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be presented as a net current asset or liability
and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the
classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate, or, in the case of
loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuation
allowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent
deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, the new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities,
along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each
jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change
the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction, companies are still prohibited from
offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new
guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those
years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance may
be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively by reclassifying the
comparative balance sheet. Teradyne will early adopt this ASU prospectively in January 2016. This ASU is
expected to have no impact on Teradyne’s results of operations.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Simplifying the
Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize
adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in
which the adjustments are identified, including the cumulative effect of the change in provisional amount as if
the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2015 and is applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Teradyne early
adopted this ASU in 2015. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Teradyne’s financial position
and results of operations.
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,”
which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying
value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation for debt discount. ASU 2015-03 does not
specifically address requirements for the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related
to line-of-credit arrangements. On August 8, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of
Interest (Subtopic 835-30)” clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements could be
presented as an asset and amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there
are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. For Teradyne, the standard is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those
years. This ASU is expected to have no impact on Teradyne’s financial position and results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),”
which will replace numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provide
companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The
core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to show the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be
entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred
the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. For Teradyne, the standard will be effective in the
first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date (that is, annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2016). The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full
retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the
modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized
at the date of initial application. Teradyne has not yet selected a transition method. Teradyne is currently
evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial position and results of operations.

D. ACQUISITIONS
Business
Universal Robots
On June 11, 2015, Teradyne acquired all of the outstanding equity of Universal Robots located in Odense,
Denmark. Universal Robots is the leading supplier of collaborative robots which are low-cost, easy-to-deploy
and simple-to-program robots that work side by side with production workers to improve quality, increase
manufacturing efficiency and decrease manufacturing costs. Universal Robots is a separate operating and
reportable segment, Industrial Automation. The total purchase price of $315.4 million consisted of
$283.8 million of cash paid and $31.6 million of contingent consideration, measured at fair value. The contingent
consideration was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the following key inputs: (1) forecasted
revenue (2) forecasted EBITDA (3) revenue volatility (4) EBITDA volatility; and (5) discount rate. The
contingent consideration is payable upon the achievement of certain thresholds and targets for earnings before
income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for calendar year 2015, revenue for the period from
July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 and revenue for the period from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018. The
maximum amount of contingent consideration that could be paid is $65 million. Based on Universal Robots’
calendar 2015 EBITDA results, Teradyne will pay, in the first quarter of 2016, $15 million or 100% of the
eligible EBITDA contingent consideration amount.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, Teradyne finalized the valuation and purchase price allocation for the
acquisition which resulted in a $5.4 million decrease in goodwill as a result of a $2.2 million decrease in the fair
value of contingent consideration, a $1.6 million increase in intangible assets and a $1.6 million decrease in
acquired liabilities.
The Universal Robots acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the results
have been included in Teradyne’s consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation
of the total purchase price to Universal Robots’ net tangible liabilities and identifiable intangible assets was
based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the
identifiable intangible assets and net tangible liabilities in the amount of $221.1 million was allocated to
goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
The following table represents the final allocation of the purchase price:

Avionics Interface Technologies, LLC.
On October 31, 2014, Teradyne acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Avionics Interface Technologies,
LLC (“AIT”) located in Omaha, Nebraska and Dayton, Ohio. AIT is a supplier of equipment for testing state-of-
the-art data communication buses. The acquisition of AIT complements Teradyne’s Defense/Aerospace line of
bus test instrumentation for commercial and defense avionics systems. AIT is included in Teradyne’s System
Test segment.
The total purchase price of $21.2 million consisted of $19.4 million of cash paid to acquire AIT’s assets and
liabilities and $1.8 million in fair value of contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of certain
revenue and gross margin targets in 2015 and 2016. No contingent consideration was paid for 2015. The
maximum remaining contingent consideration that could be paid is $1.1 million.
The valuation of the contingent consideration utilized the following assumptions: (1) probability of meeting
each target; (2) expected timing of meeting each target; and (3) discount rate reflecting the risk associated with
56
the expected payments. The probabilities and timing for each target were estimated based on a review of the
historical and projected results. A discount rate of 4.7 percent was selected based on the cost of debt for the
business. A significant portion of the risk in achieving the contingent consideration was captured in the
probabilities assigned to meeting each target.
The AIT acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the results have been
included in Teradyne’s consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the total
purchase price of AIT’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was based on their estimated fair values as
of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets in
the amount of $10.5 million was allocated to goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes.
The following represents the final allocation of the purchase price:

ZTEC Instruments, Inc.
On October 25, 2013, Teradyne acquired all of the outstanding equity of ZTEC Instruments, Inc. (“ZTEC”)
located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. ZTEC is a supplier of modular wireless test instruments. The acquisition
of ZTEC expands Teradyne’s Wireless Test segment into the design verification test of wireless components and
chipsets.
The total purchase price of $17.3 million consisted of $15.1 million of cash paid to acquire the outstanding
common and preferred stock of ZTEC and $2.2 million in fair value of contingent consideration payable upon
achievement of certain customer order and revenue targets through 2015. The maximum amount of contingent
consideration that could have been paid was $5.0 million. None of the contingent consideration was paid.
The ZTEC acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the results have been
included in Teradyne’s consolidated results of operation from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the total
purchase price of ZTEC’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was based on their estimated fair values
as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets
in the amount of $12.5 million was allocated to goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

F. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Equivalents
Teradyne considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of
acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
Teradyne’s available-for-sale securities are classified as Level 1 and Level 2. Contingent consideration is
classified as Level 3. The vast majority of Level 2 securities are fixed income securities priced by third party pricing
vendors. These pricing vendors utilize the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or,
if specific prices are not available, use other observable inputs like market transactions involving identical or
comparable securities.
Realized losses recorded in 2015 were $0.4 million. There were no realized losses recorded in 2014 and
2013. Realized gains recorded in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $1.7 million, $2.4 million and $1.0 million,
59
respectively. Realized gains are included in interest income, and realized losses are included in interest expense.
Unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2
or Level 3 financial instruments.
The following table sets forth by fair value hierarchy Teradyne’s financial assets and liabilities that were

Based on Universal Robots’ calendar 2015 EBITDA results, Teradyne will pay, in first quarter of 2016,
$15 million or 100% of the eligible EBITDA contingent consideration amount.
As of December 31, 2015, the significant unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to fair
value the Universal Robots contingent consideration include forecasted revenue, revenue volatility and discount
rate. Increases or decreases in the inputs would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the AIT fair value measurement of contingent consideration are
the probabilities of successful achievement of calendar year 2016 revenue threshold and target, and a discount
rate. Increases or decreases in the revenue probabilities would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350-10, “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other,” goodwill with a
carrying amount of $372.3 million was written down in 2014 to its implied fair value of $273.4 million, resulting
in an impairment charge of $98.9 million. See Note I: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” regarding goodwill
impairment.
Derivatives
Teradyne conducts business in a number of foreign countries, with certain transactions denominated in local
currencies. The purpose of Teradyne’s foreign currency management is to minimize the effect of exchange rate
fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Teradyne does not use
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
To minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the remeasurement of monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, Teradyne enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The
change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded directly in earnings, and is used to offset the change in value
of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
At December 31, 2015 and 2014, Teradyne had the following contracts to buy and sell non-U.S. currencies
for U.S. dollars and other non-U.S. currencies with the following notional amounts:

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Teradyne to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of cash equivalents, marketable securities, forward currency contracts and accounts receivable. Teradyne’s cash
equivalents consist primarily of money market funds invested in U.S. Treasuries and government agencies.
Teradyne’s fixed income available-for-sale marketable securities have a minimum rating of AA by one or more
of the major credit rating agencies. Teradyne places foreign currency forward contracts with high credit-quality
financial institutions in order to minimize credit risk exposure. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to
accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of geographically dispersed customers. Teradyne
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and from time to time may require
customers to provide a letter of credit from a bank to secure accounts receivable. One customer comprised 10%
or more of Teradyne’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015. A different customer comprised
10% or more of Teradyne’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2014.
Equity Interest
On November 1, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of Empirix, Inc. by Thoma Bravo LLC, Teradyne
sold its equity interest in Empirix, Inc., a private company, and received cash proceeds of $34.2 million which
was recorded as a gain in other (income) expense, net. An additional $5.4 million of cash proceeds that was held
in escrow for 15 months, for potential indemnifications to the buyer, was paid to Teradyne in February 2015 and
it was recorded as a gain in other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of 2015.

G. DEBT
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 27, 2015, Teradyne entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC,
as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-
year, senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $350 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement
further provides that, subject to customary conditions, Teradyne may seek to obtain from existing or new lenders
incremental commitments under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million.
Proceeds from the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and working capital. Teradyne
incurred $2.3 million in costs related to the revolving credit facility. These costs are being amortized over the
five year term of the revolving credit facility and are included in interest expense in the statement of operations.
As of February 29, 2016, Teradyne has not borrowed any funds under the Credit Facility.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are, at Teradyne’s option, equal to either a
base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 1.00% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to
2.00% per annum, based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of Teradyne and its Restricted Subsidiaries. In
addition, Teradyne will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the Credit
Facility ranging from 0.125% to 0.350% per annum, based on the then applicable Consolidated Leverage Ratio.
Teradyne is not required to repay any loans under the Credit Facility prior to maturity, subject to certain
customary exceptions. Teradyne is permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Credit Facility
prior to maturity without premium or penalty, other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, representations, warranties and affirmative and
negative covenants that, among other things, limit Teradyne’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ ability to sell
assets, grant liens on assets, incur other secured indebtedness and make certain investments and restricted
payments, all subject to exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires
Teradyne to satisfy two financial ratios measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter: a consolidated leverage
ratio and an interest coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2015, Teradyne was in compliance with all covenants.
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of Teradyne’s domestic subsidiaries and collateralized by assets
of Teradyne and such subsidiaries, including a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries.
Loan Agreement
On March 31, 2009, Teradyne K.K., Teradyne’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Japan, entered into a loan
agreement with a local bank in Japan to borrow approximately $10.0 million (the loan was denominated in
Japanese Yen). The loan had a term of 5 years and a fixed interest rate of 0.8%. Approximately $6.0 million of
the loan was collateralized by a real estate mortgage on Teradyne K.K.’s building and land in Kumamoto, Japan
and approximately $4.0 million was unsecured. Teradyne, Inc. had guaranteed payment of the loan obligation.
The principal was amortized over the term of the loan with semi-annual principal payments of approximately
$1 million payable on September 30 and March 30 each year. The final principal and interest payments were
made in March 2014.
Convertible Senior Notes
On March 31, 2009, Teradyne entered into an underwriting agreement regarding a public offering of
$175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due March 15, 2014 (the “Notes”).
On April 1, 2009, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional $15.0 million aggregate
principal amount of the Notes for a total aggregate principal amount of $190.0 million. The Notes bore interest at
a rate of 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year,
beginning on September 15, 2009. The Notes had a maturity date of March 15, 2014. Substantially all of the
Notes were converted prior to March 15, 2014 and were “net share settled,” meaning that the holders received,
67
for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes, $1,000 in cash and approximately 131.95 shares of Teradyne
common stock (calculated by taking 182.65 shares, being the fixed number specified in the Notes purchase
agreement, less 50.7 shares). The 50.7 shares were determined, as specified in the Notes purchase agreement, by
dividing the $1,000 principal amount by the $19.74 average trading price of Teradyne’s common stock over the
25 day trading period from February 5, 2014 to March 12, 2014.
Teradyne satisfied the Notes “net share settlement” by paying the aggregate principal amount of $190
million in cash and issuing 25.1 million shares of common stock. On March 13, 2014, Teradyne exercised its call
option agreement entered into with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “hedge counterparty”) at the time of issuance of
the Notes and received 25.1 million shares of Teradyne’s common stock, which Teradyne retired.
From June 17, 2014 to September 17, 2014, the hedge counterparty exercised its warrant agreement entered
into with Teradyne at the time of issuance of the Notes. The warrants were net share settled. In 2014, Teradyne
issued 21.2 million shares of its common stock for warrants exercised at a weighted average strike price of
$7.6348 per share.

I. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Teradyne performs its annual goodwill impairment test as required under the provisions of ASC 350-10,
“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” on December 31 of each fiscal year unless interim indicators of impairment exist.
Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.
Teradyne has the option to perform a qualitative assessment (“Step zero”) to determine whether it is more-
likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If Teradyne determines this is
the case, Teradyne is required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill
impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized. If Teradyne determines that it is
more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amounts, the two-step
goodwill impairment test is not required. When performing the two-step process, the first step involves a comparison
of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the first step,
Teradyne determines the fair value of a reporting unit using the results derived from an income approach and a
market approach. The income approach is estimated through the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis.
Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgments about appropriate discount
rates, perpetual growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. Discount rates are based on a
weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), which represents the average rate a business must pay its providers of
debt and equity, plus a risk premium. The WACC used to test goodwill is derived from a group of comparable
companies. The cash flows employed in the DCF analysis are derived from internal forecasts and external market
forecasts. The market approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by utilizing the market comparable
method which is based on revenue and earnings multiples from comparable companies. If the estimated fair value of
a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the
impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, then the
second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test
compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount of goodwill to measure the
amount of impairment loss, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the
amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, whereby the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is
allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the
reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase
price paid. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an
impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
69
In 2015, Teradyne performed step one of the two step impairment test for the Wireless Test and Defense/
Aerospace reporting units and the Step zero assessment for the Industrial Automation reporting unit. In 2015,
there was no impairment.
In 2014, as a result of decreased projected demand attributable to an estimated smaller future wireless test
market due to reuse of wireless test equipment, price competition and different testing techniques, Teradyne
determined that for its Wireless Test reporting unit, the carrying amount of its net assets exceeded its respective
fair value, indicating that a potential impairment existed. After completing the second step of the goodwill
impairment test, Teradyne recorded a $98.9 million goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The fourth quarter 2014 goodwill impairment test of Teradyne’s Defense/Aerospace reporting unit, which is
included in Teradyne’s System Test reportable segment, did not identify any goodwill impairment.
The fourth quarter 2013 goodwill impairment test of Teradyne’s Wireless Test reporting unit did not
identify any goodwill impairment.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segments for the years ended December 31,
2015 and 2014 are as follows:

Legal Claims
Teradyne is subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of
business such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Teradyne
believes that it has meritorious defenses against all pending claims and intends to vigorously contest them. While
it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of any pending claims or to provide possible ranges of
losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the potential losses associated with all of these actions are unlikely to
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
Teradyne provides indemnification, to the extent permitted by law, to its officers, directors, employees and
agents for liabilities arising from certain events or occurrences while the officer, director, employee, or agent, is
or was serving, at Teradyne’s request in such capacity. Teradyne has entered into indemnification agreements
with certain of its officers and directors. With respect to acquisitions, Teradyne provides indemnifications to or
assumes indemnification obligations for the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired
companies in accordance with the acquired companies’ by-laws and charter. As a matter of practice, Teradyne
has maintained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage including coverage for directors and officers
of acquired companies.
Teradyne enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors,
integrators and suppliers. Most of these agreements require Teradyne to defend and/or indemnify the other party
against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to Teradyne’s products.
From time to time, Teradyne also indemnifies customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities
they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, breach of
confidentiality obligations and environmental claims relating to the use of Teradyne’s products and services or
resulting from the acts or omissions of Teradyne, its employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. On
occasion, Teradyne has also provided guarantees to customers regarding the delivery and performance of its
products in addition to the warranty described below.
As a matter of ordinary business course, Teradyne warrants that its products will substantially perform in
accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery. Most warranties have a one
year duration commencing from installation. A provision is recorded upon revenue recognition to cost of revenue
for estimated warranty expense based upon historical experience. When Teradyne receives revenue for extended
warranties beyond the standard duration, it is deferred and recognized on a straight line basis over the contract
period. Related costs are expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Teradyne had a product
warranty accrual of $6.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively, included in other accrued liabilities, and revenue
deferrals related to extended warranties of $46.5 million and $43.3 million, respectively, included in short and
long-term deferred revenue and customer advances.
72
In addition, and in the ordinary course of business, Teradyne provides minimum purchase guarantees to
certain vendors to ensure continuity of supply against the market demand. Although some of these guarantees
provide penalties for cancellations and/or modifications to the purchase commitments as the market demand
decreases, most of the guarantees do not. Therefore, as the market demand decreases, Teradyne re-evaluates
these guarantees and determines what charges, if any, should be recorded.
With respect to its agreements covering product, business or entity divestitures and acquisitions, Teradyne
provides certain representations, warranties and covenants to purchasers and agrees to indemnify and hold such
purchasers harmless against breaches of such representations, warranties and covenants. Many of the
indemnification claims have a definite expiration date while some remain in force indefinitely. With respect to its
acquisitions, Teradyne may, from time to time, assume the liability for certain events or occurrences that took
place prior to the date of acquisition.
As a matter of ordinary course of business, Teradyne occasionally guarantees certain indebtedness
obligations of its subsidiary companies, limited to the borrowings from financial institutions, purchase
commitments to certain vendors, and lease commitments to landlords.
Based on historical experience and information known as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, except for
product warranty, Teradyne has not recorded any liabilities for these guarantees and obligations because the
amount would be immaterial.

(1)
Incremental shares from the assumed conversion of the convertible notes was calculated using the difference
between the average Teradyne stock price for the period and the conversion price of $5.48, multiplied by
34.7 million shares. The result of this calculation, representing the total intrinsic value of the convertible
debt, was divided by the average Teradyne stock price for the period.
(2) Convertible notes hedge warrant shares were calculated using the difference between the average Teradyne
stock price for the period and the warrant price of $7.67, multiplied by 34.7 million shares. The result of this
calculation, representing the total intrinsic value of the warrant, was divided by the average Teradyne stock
price for the period. Teradyne’s call option on its common stock (convertible note hedge transaction) was
excluded from the calculation of diluted shares because the effect was anti-dilutive. See Note G: “Debt”
regarding the convertible note hedge transaction.
73
The computation of diluted net income per common share for 2015 excludes the effect of the potential
exercise of stock options to purchase approximately 0.2 million shares because the effect would have been anti-
dilutive.
The computation of diluted net income per common share for 2014 excludes the effect of the potential
exercise of stock options to purchase approximately 0.3 million shares because the effect would have been anti-
dilutive.
The computation of diluted net income per common share for 2013 excludes the effect of the potential
exercise of stock options to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares because the effect would have been anti-
dilutive.
L. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER
Other
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Teradyne recorded $3.6 million of other charges of which $5.3
million was an expense for the increase in the fair value of the Universal Robots contingent consideration
liability and $1.0 million for acquisition costs related to Universal Robots, partially offset by a $2.9 million gain
from fair value adjustments to decrease the acquisition contingent consideration liability related to ZTEC, $1.6
million, and AIT, $1.3 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Teradyne recorded a $0.6 million gain from the fair value
adjustment to decrease the ZTEC acquisition contingent consideration, partially offset by $0.4 million of
acquisition costs related to AIT.
Restructuring
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Teradyne recorded $1.5 million of severance charges related to
headcount reductions of 23 people, primarily in System Test and Semiconductor Test.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Teradyne recorded $1.6 million of severance charges related to
headcount reductions of approximately 43 people, primarily in Semiconductor Test and Wireless Test.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, Teradyne recorded $1.9 million of severance charges related to
headcount reductions of 48 people primarily in System Test and Semiconductor Test and a $(0.4) million credit
in Corporate related to a change in the estimated exit costs related to a leased facility.
The remaining accrual for severance of $0.4 million is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation
and withholdings on the balance sheet and is expected to be paid by March 2016.
M. RETIREMENT PLANS
ASC 715, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits” requires an employer with defined benefit plans or other
postretirement benefit plans to recognize an asset or a liability on its balance sheet for the overfunded or
underfunded status of the plans as defined by ASC 715. The pension asset or liability represents a difference
between the fair value of the pension plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation at December 31. Teradyne
uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Teradyne has defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of domestic employees and employees of
certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Benefits under these plans are based on employees’ years of service and
74
compensation. Teradyne’s funding policy is to make contributions to the plans in accordance with local laws and
to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. The assets of these plans consist primarily of fixed
income and equity securities. In addition, Teradyne has an unfunded supplemental executive defined benefit plan
in the United States to provide retirement benefits in excess of levels allowed by the Employment Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), as well as unfunded qualified
foreign plans.

In developing the expected return on plan assets assumption, Teradyne evaluates input from its investment
manager and pension consultants, including their review of asset class return expectations. Based on this review,
Teradyne believes that 4.8% was an appropriate rate to use for fiscal 2015 for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan
(“U.S. Plan”).
Teradyne recognizes net actuarial gains and losses and the change in the fair value of the plan assets in its
operating results in the year in which they occur or upon any interim remeasurement of the plans. Teradyne
calculates the expected return on plan assets using the fair value of the plan assets. Actuarial gains and losses are
generally measured annually as of December 31 and, accordingly, recorded during the fourth quarter of each year
or upon any interim remeasurement of the plans.
The discount rate utilized to determine future pension obligations for the U.S. Plan is based on Citigroup
Pension Index adjusted for the plan’s expected cash flows and was 4.0% at December 31, 2015, up from 3.7% at
December 31, 2014.
Plan Assets
As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of Teradyne’s pension plans’ assets totaled $326.6 million of which
$298.4 million was related to the U.S. Plan, $27.1 million was related to the U.K. defined benefit pension plan,
and $1.0 million was related to the Taiwan defined benefit pension plan. Substantially all Teradyne’s pension
plans’ assets are held in individual trusts, which were established for the investment of assets of Teradyne’s
sponsored retirement plans.
Teradyne’s weighted average pension asset allocation at December 31, 2015 and 2014, by asset category is

The assets of the U.S. Plan are overseen by the Teradyne Fiduciary Committee which is comprised of
members of senior management drawn from appropriate diversified levels of the management team. The
77
Fiduciary Committee is responsible for setting the policy that provides the framework for management of the
U.S. Plan assets. In accordance with its responsibilities, the Fiduciary Committee meets on a regular basis to
review the performance of the U.S. Plan assets and compliance with the investment policy. The policy sets forth
an investment structure for managing U.S. Plan assets, including setting the asset allocation ranges, which are
expected to provide an appropriate level of overall diversification required to maximize the long-term return on
plan assets for a prudent and reasonable level of risk given prevailing market conditions, total investment return
over the long term, and preservation of capital, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay the benefits of the
U.S. Plan. The investment portfolio will not, at any time, have a direct investment in Teradyne stock. It may have
indirect investment in Teradyne stock, if one of the funds selected by the investment manager invests in
Teradyne stock. In developing the asset allocation ranges, third party asset allocation studies are periodically
performed that consider the current and expected positions of the plan assets and funded status. Based on this
study and other appropriate information, the Fiduciary Committee establishes asset allocation ranges taking into
account acceptable risk targets and associated returns. The investment return objectives are to avoid excessive
volatility and produce a rate of return that at least matches the Policy Index identified below. The manager’s
investment performance is reviewed at least annually. Results for the total portfolio and for each major category
of assets are evaluated in comparison with appropriate market indices and the Policy Index.
The target asset allocation and the index for each asset category for the U.S. Plan, per the investment policy,
are as follows:
Asset Category:
Policy Index:
U.S. corporate fixed income
Global equity
U.S. government fixed income

Teradyne’s U.S. Plan invests primarily in common trust funds. Units held in the common trust funds are
valued at the unit price as reported by the investment manager based on the asset value of the underlying
investments; underlying investments in equity securities are valued at the last reported sales price, and underlying
investments in fixed-income securities are generally valued using methods based upon market transactions for
comparable securities.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Trustees of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan purchased group annuity
insurance contracts. The cash flows from the contracts are intended to match the plan’s obligations.
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers of pension assets in or out of
Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

The pension plan assets identified as level 3 above are related to group annuity insurance contracts held by
the U.K. defined benefit pension plan and the U.S. Plan. The fair value of these assets was calculated using the
present value of future pension payments due under the group annuity insurance contracts. The table below
indicates the change in value related to these level 3 assets during 2015 and 2014:

Contributions
Teradyne’s funding policy is to make contributions to the plans in accordance with local laws and to the
extent that such contributions are tax deductible. During 2015, Teradyne contributed $8.0 million to the U.S Plan,
$2.5 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and $0.8 million to certain qualified
plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. During 2014, Teradyne contributed $30.0 million to the U.S Plan, $1.8 million to
the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and $1.2 million to certain qualified plans for non-
U.S. subsidiaries. In 2016, contributions to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and non
U.S. plans will be approximately $2.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Teradyne does not expect to make
any contributions to the U.S. Plan in 2016.

Postretirement Benefit Plans
In addition to receiving pension benefits, U.S. Teradyne employees who meet early retirement eligibility
requirements as of their termination dates may participate in Teradyne’s Welfare Plan, which includes medical
and dental benefits up to age 65. Death benefits provide a fixed sum to retirees’ survivors and are available to all
retirees. Substantially all of Teradyne’s current U.S. employees could become eligible for these benefits, and the
existing benefit obligation relates primarily to those employees.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Compensation Plans
At Teradyne’s annual meeting of stockholders held May 21, 2013, Teradyne’s stockholders approved an
amendment to Teradyne’s 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares
issuable by 10.0 million for an aggregate of 32.0 million shares issuable thereunder. Teradyne’s stockholders also
approved an amendment to Teradyne’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares
issuable by 5.0 million, for an aggregate of 30.4 million shares issuable thereunder.
Under its stock compensation plans, Teradyne has granted stock options, restricted stock units and
performance-based restricted stock units, and employees are eligible to purchase Teradyne’s common stock
through its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
Stock options to purchase Teradyne’s common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the grant date vest
in equal annual installments over four years from the grant date and have a maximum term of seven years.
Time-based restricted stock unit awards granted to employees vest in equal annual installments over four
years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to non-employee directors vest after a one year period, with 100% of
the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date. Teradyne expenses the cost of the restricted stock unit
awards subject to time-based vesting, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of
grant, ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.
82
For grants prior to January 2014, performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) granted to executive
officers were subject to time-based vesting and performance-based vesting. The percentage level of performance
satisfied for performance-based grants was assessed on or near the anniversary of the grant date and, in turn, that
percentage level determined the number of performance-based restricted stock units available for vesting over a
four-year vesting period; portions of the performance-based grants not available for vesting were forfeited.
Commencing in January 2014, Teradyne granted PRSUs to its executive officers with a performance metric
based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR”). Teradyne’s three-year TSR performance will be measured
against the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which consists of thirty companies in the semiconductor device
and capital equipment industries. The final number of TSR PRSUs that vest will vary based upon the level of
performance achieved from 200% of the target shares to 0% of the target shares. The TSR PRSUs will vest upon
the three-year anniversary of the grant date. No TSR PRSUs will vest if the executive officer is no longer an
employee at the end of the three-year period. Beginning with PRSUs granted in January 2014, if the recipient’s
employment ends prior to the determination of the performance percentage due to (1) permanent disability or
death or (2) retirement or termination other than for cause, after attaining both at least age sixty and at least ten
years of service, then the recipient’s PRSUs (based on the actual performance percentage achieved on the
determination date) will vest on the date the performance percentage is determined.
The TSR PRSUs are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The number of units expected to be
earned, based upon the achievement of the TSR market condition, is factored into the grant date Monte Carlo
valuation. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year service period.
Compensation expense is recognized regardless of the eventual number of units that are earned based upon the
market condition, provided the executive officer remains an employee at the end of the three-year period.
Compensation expense is reversed if at any time during the three-year service period the executive officer is no
longer an employee, subject to the retirement and termination eligibility provisions noted above. During 2015
and 2014, Teradyne granted 0.2 million and 0.1 million TSR PRSUs, respectively, with a grant date fair value of
$18.21 and $22.06, respectively. The fair value was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the
following assumptions:

Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of Teradyne’s stock and the Philadelphia
Semiconductor Index over the most recent three year period. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Dividend yield for 2015 and 2014 was based upon an
estimated annual dividend amount of $0.24 per share divided by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant date of
$18.10 for 2015 grants and $19.16 for 2014 grants.
Stock Options Valuation Assumptions:
The total number of stock options granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 0.1 million, 0.1 million and
0.2 million, respectively, at the weighted average grant date fair value of $4.43, $5.49 and $6.09 per share,
respectively. The fair value of the stock options at grant date was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing model with the following assumptions:

Teradyne determined the stock option’s expected life based upon historical exercise data for executive
officers, the age of executives and the terms of the stock option award. Volatility was determined using historical
volatility for a period equal to the expected life. The interest rate was determined using the U.S. Treasury yield
curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of December 31, 2015, total unrecognized expense related to non-vested restricted stock unit awards and
stock options was $44.9 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
Effective January 31, 2014, Michael Bradley retired as Chief Executive Officer of Teradyne. On January 22,
2014, Teradyne entered into an agreement (the “Retirement Agreement”) with Mr. Bradley. Under the
Retirement Agreement, Mr. Bradley’s unvested restricted stock units and stock options granted prior to his
retirement date will continue to vest in accordance with their terms through January 31, 2017; and any vested
options or options that vest during that period may be exercised for the remainder of the applicable option term.
In the Retirement Agreement, Mr. Bradley agreed to be bound by non-competition and non-solicitation
restrictions through January 31, 2017. In January 2014, Teradyne recorded a one-time charge to stock-based
compensation expense of $6.6 million related to the Retirement Agreement.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Teradyne 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), eligible employees may purchase
shares of common stock through regular payroll deductions of up to 10% of their compensation, to a maximum
of shares with a fair market value of $25,000 per calendar year, not to exceed 6,000 shares. Under the plan, the
price paid for the common stock is equal to 85% of the stock price on the last business day of the six month
purchase period.
In July 2015, 0.5 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan
during the first half of 2015, at the price of $16.40 per share. In January 2016, Teradyne issued 0.5 million shares
of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of 2015, at the price of $17.57
per share.
In July 2014, 0.5 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan
during the first half of 2014, at the price of $16.66 per share. In January 2015, Teradyne issued 0.5 million shares
of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of 2014, at the price of $16.82
per share.
In July 2013, 0.4 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan
during the first half of 2013, at the price of $14.94 per share. In January 2014, Teradyne issued 0.4 million shares
of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of 2013, at the price of $14.98
per share.
As of December 31, 2015, there were 4.9 million shares available for grant under the ESPP.

O.
SAVINGS PLAN
Teradyne sponsors a defined contribution employee retirement savings plan (“Savings Plan”) covering
substantially all U.S. employees. Under the Savings Plan, employees may contribute up to 20% of their
compensation (subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations). The Savings Plan provides for a discretionary
employer match that is determined each year. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, Teradyne matched 100% of eligible
employee contributions up to 4% of their compensation for employees not accruing benefits in the U.S. Qualified
Pension Plan. There was no match for employees still actively accruing benefits in the U.S. Qualified Pension
Plan. Teradyne’s contributions vest 25% per year for the first four years of employment, and contributions for
those employees with four years of service vest immediately.
In addition, Teradyne established an unfunded U.S. Supplemental Savings Plan to provide savings benefits in
excess of those allowed by Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. The
provisions of this plan are the same as the Savings Plan. Teradyne also established defined contribution savings plans
for its foreign employees. Under Teradyne’s savings plans, amounts charged to the statement of operations for the
years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $13.5 million, $12.8 million and $12.0 million, respectively.

Income tax expense for 2015, 2014 and 2013 totaled $46.6 million, $14.1 million and $37.0 million,
respectively. The effective tax rate for 2015, 2014 and 2013 was 18.4%, 14.8% and 18.3%, respectively. The
increase in the effective tax rate from 2014 to 2015 resulted from a shift in the geographic distribution of income
which increased income subject to taxation in the United States relative to lower tax rate jurisdictions and a
reduction in the benefit from U.S. research and development tax credits. These increases in the effective tax rate
were partially offset by decreases associated with uncertain tax positions and a non-deductible goodwill
impairment charge. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 was primarily attributable to a shift
in the geographic distribution of income which decreased income subject to taxation in the United States relative
to lower tax rate jurisdictions, partially offset by increases in the effective tax rate associated with uncertain tax
positions and a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge.

Teradyne qualifies for a tax holiday in Singapore by fulfilling the requirements of an agreement with the
Singapore Economic Development Board under which certain headcount and spending requirements must be
met. The tax savings attributable to the tax holiday for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were
$11.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share, $13.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share and $4.7 million or $0.02 per
diluted share, respectively. In December 2015, Teradyne entered into an agreement with the Singapore Economic
Development Board which extended the tax holiday under substantially similar terms to the agreement which
expired on December 31, 2015. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020.

Teradyne records all interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
Accrued interest and penalties related to income tax items at December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $0.5
million and $0.6 million respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, benefit of $0.2
million, expense of $0.2 million and expense of $0.2 million respectively, was recorded for interest and penalties
related to income tax items.
During 2015, Teradyne’s valuation allowance increased by $1.3 million primarily due to the increase in the
deferred tax assets related to state tax credits generated in 2015.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Teradyne evaluated the likelihood that it would realize the deferred
income taxes to offset future taxable income and concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial
majority of its deferred tax assets will be realized through consideration of both the positive and negative
evidence. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, Teradyne maintained a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax
assets of $43.0 million and $41.7 million, respectively, primarily related to state net operating losses and state tax
credit carryforwards, due to the uncertainty regarding their realization. Adjustments could be required in the
future if Teradyne estimates that the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized is more or less than the net
amount recorded.

Of the U.S. federal operating loss carryforwards, $4.9 million relates to the acquisition of GenRad, Inc.
(“GenRad”) in 2001. GenRad losses are limited in the annual amount that can be used as a result of “change in
ownership” rules as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The operating loss carryforward does not
include any excess tax deduction related to stock based compensation which has not been recognized for
financial statement purposes.
Teradyne has approximately $121.2 million of tax credit carryforwards. Federal business tax credits of
approximately $43.2 million expire in the years 2017 through 2035. Teradyne has alternative minimum tax
credits of approximately $6.6 million, which do not expire. In addition, there are state tax credits of $71.4 million
of which $42.4 million do not expire and the remainder of which expires in the years 2016 through 2030.
Teradyne has federal tax credits of $42.9 million, that are attributable to stock based compensation deductions
which will be recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet if and when
they are “realized” in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.”
Teradyne’s gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were as

Current year and prior year additions include assessment of potential transfer pricing issues worldwide,
federal and state tax credits and incentives, capitalization rules, and domestic production activities deductions.
Reductions for tax positions for prior years primarily relate to statute expiration and the settlement of a foreign
tax audit. Of the $36.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015, $29.2 million would
impact the consolidated income tax rate if ultimately recognized. The remaining $7.6 million would impact the
valuation allowance if recognized. Teradyne estimates that it is reasonably possible that the balance of
unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015 may decrease approximately $7.6 million in the next twelve
90
months, as a result of a lapse of statutes of limitation and the settlement of a tax audit. The estimated decrease is
composed primarily of reserves relating to federal tax credits and transfer pricing.
Teradyne is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in multiple state, local and foreign
jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, all material state and local income tax matters have been concluded
through 2008, all material federal income tax matters have been concluded through 2011 and all material foreign
income tax matters have been concluded through 2009. However, in some jurisdictions, including the
United States, operating losses and tax credits may be subject to adjustment until such time as they are utilized
and the year of utilization is closed to adjustment.
As of December 31, 2015, a deferred tax liability has not been established for approximately $783 million of
cumulative undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, which are expected to be reinvested indefinitely in
operations outside the U.S. except for instances where Teradyne can remit such earnings to the U.S. without an
associated net tax cost. Determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on unremitted earnings is not
practicable due to uncertainty regarding the remittance structure, the mix of earnings and earnings and profit
pools in the year of remittance, and overall complexity of the calculation.
Q. OPERATING SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Teradyne has four operating segments (Semiconductor Test, System Test, Wireless Test and Industrial
Automation), which are its reportable segments. The Semiconductor Test segment includes operations related to
the design, manufacturing and marketing of semiconductor test products and services. The System Test segment
includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of products and services for defense/
aerospace instrumentation test, storage test and circuit-board test. The Wireless Test segment includes operations
related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of wireless test products and services. The Industrial
Automation segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of collaborative
robots. Each operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular
contact with Teradyne’s chief operating decision maker (Teradyne’s chief executive officer) to discuss operating
activities, financial results, forecasts, and plans for the segment.
Teradyne evaluates performance using several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business
segment income (loss) from operations before taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the
same as those described in Note B: “Accounting Policies.”

Item 9:
Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure
None.
Item 9A: Controls and procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our CEO and
CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b)
promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the
end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that
material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,
including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In accordance with SEC responses to frequently asked questions regarding the evaluation of internal control
of entities subject to a business combination, we have excluded Universal Robots from our assessment of internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. As previously announced, we acquired Universal
Robots A/S on June 11, 2015 pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2015. The
total assets and total revenues of Universal Robots represent 14% and 3%, respectively, of our consolidated
financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), our management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 has been audited
by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report
which is included under Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Item 9B: Other Information
None.

NOTICE OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AND TERMS
FOR U.S. RECIPIENTS
Exhibit 10.10
Name:
Employee ID:
In granting restricted stock units, Teradyne, Inc. (“Teradyne”) seeks to provide employees of Teradyne and its subsidiaries with
incentive to help drive Teradyne’s future success and to share in the economic benefits of that success. We all look forward to your
contributions to that effort.
In recognition of your contributions to Teradyne, you have been granted an award consisting of the right to receive a target of xx
shares of Teradyne common stock (“Target Performance-Based Shares”), which final number of shares shall be determined by the
Committee or Teradyne’s Board of Directors and based upon achieving certain Performance Criteria over time (“Actual Performance-
Based Shares”). This grant was approved [•] (the “Effective Date”).
This award is subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Terms attached hereto and the terms of the Teradyne, Inc. 2006 Equity and Cash
Compensation Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The shares covered by this award will be delivered upon attainment of certain
Performance Criteria as described in and subject to the vesting conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit Terms.
The Plan prospectus, consisting of a “Participant Information” document that summarizes the Plan and the complete Plan, is available

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT TERMS FOR U.S. RECIPIENTS
1. Award Grant, Vesting and Transfer
(a) Award Grant. Teradyne, Inc. hereby grants to the recipient an award (this “Award”) of performance-based restricted
stock units (the “RSUs”) under the Teradyne, Inc. 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The RSUs
represent the right of the recipient to receive that number of shares of Teradyne common stock set forth in the Notice of Performance-
Based Restricted Stock Unit Grant and Terms (the “Notice of Grant”) attached hereto upon satisfaction of the terms set forth in this
Agreement. This Award is governed by and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning set forth in the Notice of Grant or the
Plan. In the event of any inconsistencies or differences between the Plan and these terms, the Plan shall prevail. The terms governing
this Award are intended to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
(b) Vesting of Award. None of this grant will be vested on the Effective Date. The number of Actual Performance-Based
Shares that will be allowed to vest is uncertain at the time of the grant but is expected to be determined near the three-year
anniversary of the grant, based on the determination by the Committee or Teradyne’s Board of Directors of the Performance
Percentage. The “Performance Percentage” is a percentage ranging from 0-200% determined using Performance Criteria approved by
the Committee or Teradyne’s Board of Directors for the grant. The Performance Percentage shall be multiplied against the Target
Performance-Based Shares granted to derive the number of Actual Performance-Based Shares. Except as provided in (c) below, this
Award shall vest with respect to 100% of the Actual Performance-Based Shares on the later of the third anniversary of the Effective
Date or the date the Board determines the number of Actual Performance-Based Shares. The portion of the grant that is not allowed to
vest will be forfeited. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date that any installment of
this Award becomes vested, including, but not limited to, events such as disability, death or upon the acquisition of control of
Teradyne by another entity.
(c) This Award will not vest further after termination of employment or other business relationship except in
limited certain circumstances. This Award will not vest after the recipient’s employment or other business relationship with
Teradyne or its Subsidiaries ends, regardless of the reason, provided, however, that if the recipient’s employment or other business
relationship with Teradyne or one of its Subsidiaries ends prior to the determination of the Performance Percentage on account of (1)
permanent disability or death or (2) retirement or termination, other than for cause, after attaining both at least age sixty, and at least
ten years of service, then (a) one-hundred percent of the Actual Performance-Based Shares under any Award granted at least 365
calendar days prior to the permanent disability, death, retirement or termination without cause shall vest on the date the Performance
Percentage is determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors and (b) a pro-rated portion of the Actual Performance-Based
Shares under any Award granted within 365 calendar days of the permanent disability, death, retirement or termination without cause
based on the number of days of employment or other business relationship during the 365 calendar day period from the grant date
shall vest on the date the Performance Percentage is determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors.
Employment or another business relationship shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide leave of
absence (such as those attributable to illness or military obligations) provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days
or, in the case of an employee, if longer, any period during which the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute. A
bona fide leave of absence with the written approval of the Committee shall not be considered an interruption of employment or other
business relationship, provided that such written approval contractually obligates Teradyne or a Subsidiary to continue the
employment or other business relationship of the recipient after the approved period of absence.
(d) No rights as stockholder; Issuance. The recipient shall not have any rights as a stockholder in, to or with respect to
any shares which may be covered by this Award (including but not limited to the right to vote or to receive dividends) until this
Award is settled by issuance of shares to the recipient. All shares issued in respect of this Award will be transferred or issued to the
recipient (or his or her estate, in the event of his or her death) as soon as is practicable after the date the Actual Performance-Based
Shares vest but, in any event, within 2 / months following the calendar year in which the Actual Performance-Based Shares become
vested (or any earlier date, after vesting, as required to avoid characterization as non-qualified deferred compensation under Section
409A of the Code). Teradyne will not be required to transfer or issue any shares upon vesting of the Actual Performance-Based
Shares until arrangements
1 2
satisfactory to it have been made by the recipient to address any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 4 below) which might arise
by reason of the vesting of the Actual Performance-Based Shares and/or transfer or issuance of shares.
(e) This Award may not be assigned or transferred. Other than as provided in Section 11(a) of the Plan, this Award is
not assignable or transferable (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution).
2. Capital Changes and Business Succession. Section 3(c) of the Plan contains provisions for adjusting (or substituting) the
number and class of securities, vesting schedule, and other terms of outstanding stock-based awards granted under the Plan if a
recapitalization, stock split, merger, or other specified event occurs, and the Committee determines that an adjustment (or
substitution) is appropriate. In that event, the recipient of this Award will be notified of the adjustment (or substitution), if any, to this
Award.
3. Employment or Business Relationship. Granting this Award does not imply any right of continued employment or business
relationship with Teradyne or its Subsidiaries, and does not affect the right of the recipient, Teradyne or its Subsidiaries to terminate
the recipient’s employment or a business relationship at any time.
4. Tax Obligations.
(a) Responsibility for Taxes. The recipient acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Teradyne or, if different,
the recipient’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the recipient’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the recipient
(“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the recipient’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Teradyne or the
Employer. The recipient further acknowledges that Teradyne and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant,
vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends
or other distributions, and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this
Award to reduce or eliminate the recipient’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the
recipient is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Effective Date and the date of any relevant taxable
or tax withholding event, as applicable, the recipient acknowledges that Teradyne and/or the Employer (or former employer, as
applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Tax Withholding. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the recipient agrees to make
adequate arrangements satisfactory to Teradyne and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. The recipient authorizes
Teradyne or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares to be issued
upon settlement of the RSUs; provided, however, that the total Tax-Related Items withholding where shares are being used to satisfy
such tax obligations cannot exceed Teradyne’s minimum statutory withholding obligations. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is
satisfied by withholding in shares, for tax purposes, the recipient is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to
the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. In
the event that such withholding in shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting
consequences, by the recipient’s acceptance of this Award, the recipient authorizes and directs Teradyne and any brokerage firm
determined acceptable to Teradyne to sell on the recipient’s behalf a whole number of shares from those shares issuable to the
recipient as Teradyne determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related
Items. If withholding is performed from proceeds from the sale of shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs, Teradyne shall withhold
for Tax-Related Items at minimum applicable rates. Alternatively, Teradyne, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as
it may specify from time to time, may permit or require the recipient to satisfy his or her obligations for Tax-Related Items, in whole
or in part (without limitation) by delivery of cash or check to Teradyne or the Employer, or Teradyne or the Employer may withhold
from the recipient’s wages or other compensation.
5. Compliance with Laws. Shares to be issued under this Award are currently registered under the United States Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. If such registration is not in effect at the time of vesting, the recipient will be required to represent to Teradyne
that he or she is acquiring such shares as an investment and not with a view to the sale of those shares. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or the Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal
requirement applicable to the shares of common stock, Teradyne shall not be required to deliver any shares of common stock issuable
upon settlement of the RSUs prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares under any local, state, federal or
foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”)
or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or
foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval Teradyne shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary
or advisable. The recipient understands that Teradyne is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares with the SEC or any state
or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the
shares. Further, the recipient agrees that Teradyne shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without the
recipient’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares.
6. Code Section 409A. This Award is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and any
ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. Teradyne reserves the right, to the extent Teradyne deems necessary or advisable
in its sole discretion, to amend or modify the terms of this Award (or the Plan) or adopt other policies and procedures (including
amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take other actions, including any amendments or actions that would
result in a reduction to the benefit payable under this Award, in each case, without the consent of the recipient of the Award, as may
be necessary to ensure that all vesting or settlement provided under this Award are made in a manner that complies with Section
409A of the Code or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under
Section 409A of the Code if compliance is not practical; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6 creates an obligation on the
part of Teradyne to modify the terms of this Award or the Plan. In that light, Teradyne makes no representation that the terms of this
Award will comply with Section 409A of the Code or that the settlement under Award will not be subject to taxes, interest and
penalties or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. In no event whatsoever shall Teradyne or any of its
affiliates be liable to the recipient of this Award or any other party for any additional tax, interest, penalties or other liability that may
be imposed on the recipient of this Award by Section 409A of the Code or for any action taken by Teradyne with respect thereto.
7. Governing Law and Venue. The Award and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of
litigating any dispute that arises under this Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Middlesex County, or the federal
courts for the United States for the District of Massachusetts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
8. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Teradyne may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current
or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The recipient hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic
delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Teradyne or a
third party designated by Teradyne.
9. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal
or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
10. Imposition of Other Requirements. Teradyne reserves the right to impose other requirements on the recipient’s
participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any shares of common stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent Teradyne determines
it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the recipient to sign any additional agreements or
undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
11. Waiver. The recipient acknowledges that a waiver by Teradyne of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the recipient or any
other recipient.
12. No Advice Regarding Grant. Teradyne is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Teradyne making any
recommendations regarding the recipient’s participation in the Plan, or the recipient’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of
common stock. The recipient is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his
or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

absence (such as those attributable to illness or military obligations) provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days
or, in the case of an employee, if longer, any period during which the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute. A

1. Option Grant, Exercise and Vesting.
STOCK OPTION TERMS FOR U.S. RECIPIENTS
(a) Option Grant. Teradyne, Inc. hereby grants to the recipient an award (this “Award”) of nonstatutory stock options (the
“Stock Options”) under the Teradyne, Inc. 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Stock Options
represent the right of the recipient to purchase that number of shares of Teradyne common stock set forth in the Notice of Stock
Option Grant and Terms (the “Notice of Grant”) attached hereto upon satisfaction of the terms set forth in this Agreement. This
Award is governed by and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning set forth in the Notice of Grant or the Plan.
In the event of any inconsistencies or differences between the Plan and these terms, the Plan shall prevail. The terms governing this
Award are intended to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
(b) These Stock Options vest and become exercisable yearly on the anniversary of the Effective Date. None of the
Stock Options subject to this Award will be vested or exercisable on the Effective Date. Except as provided in (d) below, 25% of the
Stock Options granted will vest and become exercisable on the first and each of the three subsequent anniversaries of the Effective
Date until the total grant is fully vested and exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Committee shall have the
right to accelerate the date that any installment of this Award becomes vested and exercisable, including, but not limited to events
such as disability, death or upon the acquisition of control of Teradyne by another entity.
(c) After Stock Options become exercisable, they can be exercised at any time prior to and on the Option Expiration
Date. This Award expires at the close of business at Teradyne’s headquarters on the date that is seven years from the Effective Date
(the “Option Expiration Date”). This Award may expire earlier if the recipient’s employment or other business relationship
terminates, as described below.
(d) This Award will not vest further after termination of employment or other business relationship except in
limited certain circumstances. If the recipient’s employment or business relationship with Teradyne or any Subsidiary terminates
for any reason except disability or death, then this Award will not vest after the recipient’s employment or other business relationship
ends and this Award will automatically expire at the close of business at Teradyne’s headquarters on the date ninety (90) days after
the recipient’s termination date, or if earlier, the Option Expiration Date. If the recipient’s employment or other business relationship
with Teradyne or a Subsidiary ends on account of permanent disability or death, the unvested portion of this Award which would
have vested under the applicable rule stated in (b) above shall automatically become vested in full on the date of the recipient’s
termination of employment or business relationship on account of permanent disability or death and the vested portion of this Award
may be exercised in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Plan until the earlier of the close of business at Teradyne’s headquarters on
the date that is one year subsequent to the recipient’s termination due to permanent disability or death or the Option Expiration Date.
Employment or another business relationship shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide leave of
absence (such as those attributable to illness or military obligations) provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days
or, in the case of an employee, if longer, any period during which the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute. A
bona fide leave of absence with the written approval of the Committee shall not be considered an interruption of employment or other
business relationship, provided that such written approval contractually obligates Teradyne or a Subsidiary to continue the recipient’s
employment or other business relationship after the approved period of absence.
2. Procedure for Exercising Stock Options.
(a) Stock Options are exercised by giving written notice to Teradyne in the form (or by such other procedures as) specified
by the Committee stating the election to exercise, specifying the number of shares as to which Stock Options are being exercised and
paying Teradyne the full option price for such shares, plus any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 6 below).
Payment can be made to Teradyne by a combination of cash, certified or
bank check, or personal check (in each case in United States dollars), or by delivery of shares of Teradyne common stock having a
Fair Market Value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, provided that such shares were not
acquired by the Participant in the prior six months, or through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the
recipient shall provide written irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased
shares and remit to Teradyne sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares, plus any
applicable Tax-Related Items designated by Teradyne, and shall provide written directives to Teradyne to deliver the purchased
shares directly to such brokerage firm to complete the sale transaction, provided that such process is consistent with and permissible
under applicable law.
(b) The recipient shall not have any rights as a stockholder in, to or with respect to any shares which may be covered by
this Award (including but not limited to the right to vote or to receive dividends) until the issuance of shares to the recipient upon
exercise of the Stock Options. All shares issuable upon exercise of the Stock Options will be transferred or issued to the recipient (or
his or her estate, in the event of death) promptly upon exercise.
(c) With regard to any Stock Option exercises, Teradyne will not be required to transfer or issue any shares until
arrangements satisfactory to it have been made to address any Tax-Related Items and withholding requirements which might arise by
reason of the Stock Option exercise. Teradyne will pay any transfer or issue tax and deliver the shares purchased.
3. Assignment and Transferability. This Stock Option may not be assigned or transferred (except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution) other than as provided in Section 11(a) of the Plan.
4. Capital Changes and Business Succession. Section 3(c) of the Plan contains provisions for adjusting (or substituting) the
number and class of securities, vesting schedule, exercise price and other terms of outstanding stock-based awards granted under the
Plan if a recapitalization, stock split, merger, or other specified event occurs and the Committee determines that an adjustment (or
substitution) is appropriate. In that event, the recipient will be notified of the adjustment (or substitution), if any, to this Award.
5. Employment or Business Relationship. Granting this Award does not imply any right of continued employment or business
relationship with Teradyne or its Subsidiaries, and does not affect the right of the recipient, Teradyne or its Subsidiaries to terminate
the recipient’s employment or a business relationship at any time.
6. Tax Obligations.
(a) Responsibility for Taxes. The recipient acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Teradyne or, if different,
the recipient’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the recipient’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the recipient
(“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the recipient’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Teradyne or the
Employer. The recipient further acknowledges that Teradyne and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Options, including, but not limited to,
the grant, vesting or exercise of the Stock Options, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of
any dividends or other distributions, and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any
aspect of the Stock Option to reduce or eliminate the recipient’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.
Further, if the recipient is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Effective Date and the date of any
relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the recipient acknowledges that Teradyne and/or the Employer (or former
employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Tax Withholding. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the recipient agrees to make
adequate arrangements satisfactory to Teradyne and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the recipient
authorizes Teradyne and/or the Employer, or their respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired at exercise of the Stock Options. Teradyne shall withhold or account for
Tax-Related Items at minimum applicable rates. Alternatively, Teradyne, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it
may specify from time to time, may permit or require the recipient to satisfy the recipient’s obligations for Tax-Related Items, in
whole or in part (without limitation) by delivery of cash or check to Teradyne or the Employer.
7. Compliance with Laws. Shares to be issued under this Award are currently registered under the United States Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. If such registration is not in effect at the time of vesting, the recipient will be required to represent to Teradyne
that the recipient is acquiring such shares as an investment and not with a view to the sale of those shares. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or the Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal
requirement applicable to the shares of common stock, Teradyne shall not be required to deliver any shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Stock Options prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares under any local, state,
federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any
local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval Teradyne shall, in its absolute
discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The recipient understands that Teradyne is under no obligation to register or qualify the
shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority
for the issuance or sale of the shares. Further, the recipient agrees that Teradyne shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and
the Agreement without the recipient’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of
shares.
8. Governing Law and Venue. The Award and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of
litigating any dispute that arises under this Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Middlesex County, or the federal
courts for the United States for the District of Massachusetts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
9. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Teradyne may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current
or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The recipient hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic
delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Teradyne or a
third party designated by Teradyne.
10. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal
or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
11. Imposition of Other Requirements. Teradyne reserves the right to impose other requirements on the recipient’s
participation in the Plan, on the Stock Options and on any shares of common stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent Teradyne
determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the recipient to sign any additional
agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
12. Waiver. The recipient acknowledges that a waiver by Teradyne of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the recipient or any
other recipient.
13. No Advice Regarding Grant. Teradyne is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Teradyne making any
recommendations regarding the recipient’s participation in the Plan, or the recipient’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of
common stock. The recipient is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his
or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
