Sales and Distribution
In 2020, revenues from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd., a customer of our Semiconductor Test segment, accounted for 15% of
our consolidated revenues. In 2019 and 2018, no single direct customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues. In each of the years,
2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largest direct customers in aggregate accounted for 36%, 27% and 27% of our consolidated revenues, respectively.
OSAT customers, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd., often purchase our test systems based upon recommendations from
OEMs, IDMs and Fabless companies. In all cases when an OSAT customer purchases a test system from us, we consider the OSAT as the customer since
credit risk, title and risk of loss, among other things, are between Teradyne and the OSAT. We estimate consolidated revenues driven by one OEM customer,
combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs (which include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.),
accounted for approximately 25%, 10% and 13% of our consolidated revenues in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We estimate consolidated revenues
driven by Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Huawei”), combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs, accounted for
approximately 3%, 11% and 4% of our consolidated revenues in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The loss of, or significant decrease in demand from this
OEM customer or Huawei, or any of our five largest direct customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We have sales and service offices located throughout North America, Central America, Asia and Europe. We sell in these areas predominantly through
a direct sales force, except for Industrial Automation products, which are sold through distributors. Our manufacturing activities are primarily conducted
through subcontractors and outsourced contract manufacturers with significant operations in China and Malaysia.
Sales to customers outside the United States were 90%, 85%, and 87%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues in 2020, 2019 and 2018. Sales are
attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customer site.

We are committed to conducting business in a responsible manner, with strategic operational policies, procedures and values that support
transparency, sustainability and legal compliance. We ensure ethical operations and business commitments through robust governance of the company’s
code of conduct and environmental, health and safety programs.
Competitive Pay and Benefits
The primary objective of our compensation program is to provide a compensation and benefits package that will continue to attract, retain, motivate
and reward high performing employees who operate in a highly competitive and technologically challenging environment. We seek to achieve this objective
by linking a significant portion of compensation to company and business unit performance. We enable employees to share in the success of the company
through various programs including a stock purchase program, equity compensation, profit sharing and bonus plans. We seek competitiveness and fairness
in total compensation with reference to peer comparisons and internal equity.
In addition to providing our employees with competitive compensation packages, we offer benefits designed to meet the needs of employees and their
families, including paid time off, parental leave, bereavement leave, health insurance coverage, flexible work arrangements, contributions to retirement
savings, and access to employee assistance and work-life programs.
Employee Development and Training
We believe that employee development and training is a key factor in attracting, motivating, improving and retaining a strong, competitive workforce.
We provide continual development to our employees focused on developing their job skills and competencies. Examples include new manager competencies
like giving feedback

Table of Contents
and coaching, and training in software development tools and project management. Our employees also receive annual performance reviews. Employees
and managers look back on the previous year, review career development plans and create goals for the next year.
We are committed to recruiting and developing talent at the collegiate level to help advance STEM education for the future generation. For example,
our paid internships and entry-level positions offer real-world experience, and our co-op program offers higher education students a unique learning
opportunity as students alternate one semester in a work assignment and one semester in the classroom. Additionally, we pay $5,250 per year for educational
courses related to an employee’s work or as part of a degree program, including tuition, lab fees and books. We also offer a scholarship program for
employees with college-age children and grandchildren.
Employee Engagement
We conduct regular employee surveys to check in with our global workforce and obtain input on a number of topics. The feedback we receive from
these surveys helps us assess employee sentiment, identify areas of improvement and guides our decision-making as it relates to people management. In
addition, CEO Mark Jagiela and other executives meet with employees on a frequent basis through exchange meetings and quarterly webcasts. The
exchange meetings allow the executives to directly interact with a small group of employees, while the global webcasts enable all employees to engage with
senior leaders and ask questions in an open Q&A session.
We also offer employees an opportunity to network and connect with colleagues who share similar interests. This includes groups such as New
Employees to Teradyne, Woman’s Affinity Group, Blue and Green (for team members that are committed to the environment), Runner’s affinity group and
LGBTQ+ advocates.
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe in fostering a diverse workforce and equitable and inclusive culture in order to build a stronger and more resilient company for our
customers, our employees and our communities. To support this effort, we have a Diversity and Inclusion Charter which was developed by our Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion executive sub-committee and designed to ensure that we build diversity across our workforce. We have established programs for
recruiting and hiring candidates from various backgrounds and experiences. We have implemented policies regarding gender pay equity and have conducted
audits in the United States which have not identified any pay equity issues in the employee populations tested. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative
action employer committed to making employment decisions without regard to race, religion, ethnicity or national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression, age, disability, protected veteran status or any other characteristics protected by law.
We have a tradition of amplifying the charitable actions of our employees and responding to the needs of the communities where we work. In 2020, in
order to show support for effecting positive change in society, we joined countless others to donate to organizations fighting for social justice and racial
equality. We also sponsor the Massachusetts Conference for Women and the California Conference for Women offering opportunities for business
networking, professional development and personal growth.
Health and Safety
The health and safety of our employees is our highest priority. We are committed to complying with all applicable regulatory health and safety
requirements wherever we operate. We conduct internal audits, regular reviews and monitoring of regulations to ensure compliance with laws and
regulations at the local, state, province and country levels. We ensure workers are provided with the knowledge to perform their jobs safely by deploying
mandatory environmental, health and safety training. We also require contractors to complete safety training prior to working at any Teradyne site. We
monitor, track and report common safety metrics such as
10
Table of Contents
accidents, near misses and illness. Our injury and illness rate is below the industry average. We also provide our employees with a flexible and adjustable
workspace, which includes reviewing ergonomics issues in the workplace, educating employees to self-identify risks and ensuring they have the work
environment they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have focused on ensuring the health and safety of our employees. At the onset of the pandemic, we made
the decision to close our offices and implement work from home policies for most employees. During this time, we have also provided resources to enable
employees to effectively manage remote work, such as web conferencing and project collaboration solutions and furniture and equipment for at-home
offices. To protect those employees whose work requires them to be on-site, we’ve implemented cleaning processes, access to personal protection
equipment and other protocols to ensure their safety. We have also supported our global workforce by sending regular all-employee communications,
providing development opportunities for managers and employees to support effectively working virtually, establishing emergency response teams to
empower local decision-making, conducting surveys to check in with employees, sharing regular video updates from our leadership team, and establishing a
well-defined return to work process.
Regulatory Environment
We are subject to various federal, state, and local government laws and regulations relating to international trade, business conduct, 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.
We are subject to U.S. laws and regulations that limit and restrict the export of some of our products and services and may restrict our transactions
with certain customers, business partners and other persons. In certain circumstances, export control and economic sanctions regulations may prohibit the
export of certain products, services, and technologies, and in other circumstances we may be required to obtain an export license before exporting the
controlled item. For example, we must comply with current U.S. Department of Commerce export control regulations restricting transactions with certain
customers in China. We must also comply with export restrictions and laws imposed by other countries affecting trade and investments. We maintain an
export compliance program but there are risks that the compliance controls could be circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. Compliance with these
laws has not significantly limited our sales but could significantly limit them in the future. Changes in, and responses to, U.S. trade policy could reduce the
competitiveness of our products and cause our sales to drop, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.

Item 1A:
Risk Factors
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.
Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted our business and could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial
condition, liquidity or cash flows.
The global pandemic of the novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures in
an effort to contain the spread of the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, limitations on gatherings or social distancing requirements, quarantines,
shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. These measures have impacted our day-to-day operations and disrupted our business,
workforce and operations, as well as the operations of our customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the numerous
measures implemented by authorities in response, has adversely impacted our results of operations, including increasing costs company-wide and decreasing
demand in our Industrial Automation businesses, but we cannot accurately estimate the full extent of the impact for our 2020 financial results or to our
future financial results.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty in our markets, resulting in a decrease in demand for our industrial
automation products. The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, including implementing social distancing protocols,
suspending employee travel, requiring most employees to work remotely, canceling physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and
extensively and frequently disinfecting our workspaces, and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine
are in the best interests of our employees, customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers.
We are continuing to monitor the rapidly evolving situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the availability of vaccinations where we do
business. However, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact of COVID-19, which will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain
and cannot be predicted with accuracy, including, but not limited to, any new surges of the virus, the availability of vaccines, further government actions to
contain the virus, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
Risks Associated with Teradyne’s Markets
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, semiconductor industries and industrial automation, 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 occur. Our business and results of operations depend, in significant part, upon capital
expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors electronics and other industrial products, 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
13
Table of Contents
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. We cannot predict whether these measures will be sufficient to offset global or market-specific disruptions that might affect our test
businesses and we may need to take additional or different measures in the future.
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
companies and internal development at several of our customers. Some of our competitors have introduced or announced new products with certain
performance characteristics that 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, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our five largest direct customers in aggregate accounted for 36%, 27% and 27% of consolidated
revenues, respectively.
We estimate consolidated revenues driven by one OEM customer, combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs (which
include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.), accounted for approximately 25%, 10% and 13% of our consolidated revenues in 2020, 2019
and 2018, respectively. We estimate consolidated revenues driven by Huawei, combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs
accounted for approximately 3%, 11% and 4% of our consolidated revenues in 2020, 2019 and 2018, 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 conditions or results of operations.
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 including with respect to safety and cyber security;
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;
transition of customers to new product platforms;
compliance with product safety regulations;
ability to protect products from cyber attacks when used by our customers;
ability to attract and retain technical talent; and
innovation that does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Risks Associated with Operating a Global Business
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;
disruption caused by health pandemics, such as the coronavirus;
difficulties in protecting intellectual property;
difficulties in accounts receivable collection;
cultural differences in the conduct of business;
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
compliance with anti-corruption laws;
compliance with data privacy regulations;
compliance with customs and trade 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 Malaysia, and a large portion of the devices our products test are fabricated and tested by foundries and subcontractors in Taiwan,
China, Korea and other parts of Asia. As a result, we are subject to a number of economic and other risks, particularly during times of political, health or
financial instability in these regions. Disruption of manufacturing or supply sources in these
15
Table of Contents
international locations could materially adversely impact our ability to fill customer orders and potentially result in lost business.
Risks Related to Teradyne’s Finances
We may not fully realize the benefits of our acquisitions or strategic alliances.
In June 2015, we acquired Universal Robots, in 2018, we acquired Energid and MiR and, in 2019, we acquired Lemsys and AutoGuide. We may not
be able to realize the benefit of acquiring or successfully growing these businesses. 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 or acquired intangible assets 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.
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 authorities in the United States and
other countries. We have pursued a global tax strategy that could be adversely affected by the mix of earnings and tax rates in the countries where we
operate, changes to tax laws, tax regulations or an adverse tax ruling by administrative authorities. We are also subject to tax audits in the countries where
we operate. Any material change in our tax liability resulting from changes in tax laws, tax regulations, administrative ruling or from an audit from an
administrative tax or revenue authority could 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 and tax holidays, 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, we entered
into an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board which extended, until December 31, 2020, our Singapore tax holiday under
substantially similar terms to the agreement which expired on December 31, 2015. In November 2020, we 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, 2020. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025.
The tax savings attributable to the Singapore tax holiday for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $29.9 million or $0.16 per
diluted share, $15.1 million or $0.08 per diluted share and $11.9 million or $0.06 per diluted share, respectively. These tax savings may not be achievable in
subsequent years due to changes in Singapore’s tax laws or the expiration of the tax holiday.
16
Table of Contents
In addition, we may incur additional costs, including headcount expenses, in order to maintain or obtain a foreign tax incentive or tax holiday 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 M: “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 cash dividend. Since 2014, the Board of Directors has increased our quarterly cash
dividend from $0.06 per share to $0.10 per share. Holders of our common stock are only entitled to receive dividends when and if they are declared by our
Board of Directors.
In January 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program. From January 2015 to April 2020, we repurchased $2.1 billion of
common stock. Due to the uncertainty regarding the duration, severity and business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended the stock repurchase
program as of April 1, 2020. In January 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new $2.0 billion share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase
program, we may repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions.
Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized for
repurchase under the share repurchase program.
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 have incurred indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness.
On December 12, 2016, we completed a private offering of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior unsecured notes
(the “Notes”) due December 15, 2023 and received net proceeds, after issuance costs, of approximately $450.8 million, $33.0 million of which was used to
pay the net cost, after being partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the warrants, of the convertible note hedge transactions and $50.1 million of which
was used to repurchase 2.0 million shares of our common stock. Holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of certain
fundamental changes involving us or the holders may elect to convert into shares of our common stock. As of February 22, 2021, twenty-four holders had
exercised the option to convert $51.0 million worth of notes.
On May 1, 2020, we entered into a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $400.0 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
$150.0 million. We have
17
Table of Contents
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.
The issuance of the Notes and any additional indebtedness, among other things, could:
•
•
•
•
make it difficult to make payments on this indebtedness and our 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 flows from operations to service for indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of
cash flows available for other purposes, including capital expenditures; and
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries 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 convertible note hedge and warrant transactions could impact the value of our stock.
Concurrent with the offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with the initial
purchasers or their affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedge Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number
of shares of our common stock that underlie the Notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the Notes of $31.56. The Note Hedge
Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.6 million shares of our common stock.
Separately and concurrent with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties (the “Warrant
Transactions”) in which we sold net-share-settled (or, at our election subject to certain conditions, cash-settled) warrants to the Option Counterparties. The
Warrant Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.6 million shares of our common stock. The strike price of the
warrants is $39.60 per share. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our common stock to the extent that the market price per share of our
common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
The Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes. However, the
Warrant Transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the applicable strike
price of the warrants. The net cost of the Note Hedge Transactions, after being partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the warrants, was
approximately $33.0 million.
In connection with establishing their initial hedge of these convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the Option Counterparties have entered
into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock
18
Table of Contents
and/or purchase shares of our common stock or other securities, including the Notes, concurrent with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. In addition,
the Option Counterparties may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock
or by selling our common stock or other securities, including the Notes, in secondary market transactions (and may do so during any observation period
related to the conversion of the Notes). These activities could adversely impact the value of our common stock and the Notes.
We may not be able to pay our debt and other obligations.
If our cash flows are inadequate to meet our obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash
flows or otherwise obtain funds necessary to make required payments on the Notes or certain of our other obligations, we would be in default under the
terms thereof, which would permit the holders of those obligations to accelerate their maturity and also could cause defaults under future indebtedness we
may incur. Any such default could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial position and operating results. In addition, we cannot
be certain that we would be able to repay amounts due on the Notes if those obligations were to be accelerated following the occurrence of any other event
of default as defined in the instruments creating those obligations, or if the holders of the Notes require us to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a
fundamental change involving us. Moreover, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds or will be able to arrange for financing to pay the
principal amount due on the Notes at maturity.
Risks Related to Operations
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 or industrial 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;
disruption caused by health pandemics, such as the coronavirus;
our ability to expand our global distribution channel for our collaborative and mobile robots;
parallel or multi-site testing which could lead to a decrease in the ultimate size of the market for our semiconductor and electronic test
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 consolidated revenues increase.
19
Table of Contents
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.
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. 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 contract manufacturers 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.
Our suppliers are subject to trade regulations, including tariffs and export restrictions imposed by the United States Government and by the
governments of other countries. These regulations could impact our suppliers’ ability to provide us with components for our products or could increase the
price of those components.
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 Flex Ltd. (“Flex”) to manufacture and test our FLEX and J750 family of products from its facility in China, Plexus Corp. (“Plexus”) to
manufacture and test our Magnum and ETS family of products from its facility in Malaysia, 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. The Flex facility in China may be impacted by the
ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China, by regulations implemented by the United States or China, or disruption caused by health
pandemics, such as the coronavirus.
If we experience a problem with our supply of products from Flex, Plexus, 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 certain general and administrative functions 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.

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.
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 condition or results of operations.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property (“IP”) and Cybersecurity
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.
If we are unable to protect our 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.
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 to process, transmit and store electronic information, including proprietary and
confidential data, and to carry out and support a variety of business activities, including manufacturing, research and development, supply chain
management, sales and accounting. We have experienced several attempted cyber-attacks of our network. None of the attempted attacks has caused a
21
Table of Contents
disruption to our operations or had a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. As a result of the attempts, we have taken further preventive
security measures to protect our systems. Despite these preventative security measures we have implemented, we may continue to be vulnerable to attempts
by third parties to gain unauthorized access to our networks or sabotage our systems. These attempts, which might be related to criminal hackers, industrial
espionage or state-sponsored intrusions, include trying to covertly introduce malware to our computers, networks and systems and impersonating authorized
users. In addition, third party suppliers and service providers that we rely on to manage our networks and systems and process and store our proprietary and
confidential data may also be subject to similar attacks. Such attempts could result in the misappropriation, theft, misuse, disclosure or loss or destruction of
the intellectual property, or the proprietary, confidential or personal information, of Teradyne or our employees, customers, suppliers or other third parties,
as well as damage to or disruptions in our information technology networks and systems. These threats are constantly evolving, thereby increasing the
difficulty of defending against them or implementing adequate preventative measures. While we seek to detect and investigate all security incidents and to
prevent their recurrence, attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology networks and systems may be successful, and in some cases,
we might be unaware of an incident or its magnitude and effects. For example, we recently became aware that one of our vendors providing IT infrastructure
management software, SolarWinds Corporation, had been compromised by cyber-attacks. Although we have not identified any compromise of our IT
systems due to the use of SolarWinds software to date, we continue to monitor our network for any potential impact related to the SolarWinds cyber-attack.
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
the SolarWinds or any other cyber-attacks, could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results, disrupt our business, result in the
disclosure or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, damage our reputation, cause losses and increase our costs. We expect to continue to devote
significant resources to the security of our information technology networks and systems.
A breach of the security of our products could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
We may be subject to security breaches of certain of our products caused by viruses, illegal break-ins or hacking, sabotage, or acts of vandalism by
third parties or our employees or contractors. A breach of our product security systems could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial
results, disrupt our business, result in the disclosure or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, damage our reputation, cause losses, and increase
our costs. We expect to continue to devote significant resources to the security of our products.
Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Compliance
The implementation of tariffs on our products may have a material impact on our business.
Our business operations and supply chain are global and may be disrupted by the implementation of tariffs.
In 2018, the United States Trade Representative imposed a 25% tariff on many lists of products, including certain Teradyne products that are made in
China and imported into the United States. We have implemented operational changes that mitigate the impact of the 25% tariff on the import of our
impacted products into the United States. As a result, the existing tariff has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations. The implementation of additional tariffs by the United States could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.
In addition to the actions taken by the United States, China has implemented retaliatory tariffs on products made in the United States and imported
into China, including certain Teradyne products. We have implemented, if appropriate, operational changes that would mitigate the impact of the retaliatory
tariffs. However, notwithstanding our efforts, the retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by China could disrupt our business operations,
sales and supply chain and, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Trade regulations and restrictions impact our ability to sell products to and support certain customers, which may materially adversely affect our sales
and results of operations.
We are subject to U.S. laws and regulations that limit and restrict the export of some of our products and services and may restrict our transactions
with certain customers, business partners and other persons. In certain circumstances, export control and economic sanctions regulations prohibit the export
of certain products, services and technologies, and in other circumstances we may be required to obtain an export license before exporting the controlled
item. We must also comply with export restrictions and laws imposed by other countries affecting trade and investments. We maintain an export compliance
program but there are risks that the compliance controls could be circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. Compliance with these laws has not
significantly limited our sales but could significantly limit them in the future. Changes in, and responses to, U.S. trade policy could reduce the
competitiveness of our products and cause our sales to drop, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
In 2018, the United States Department of Commerce announced that it has commenced a review of new export controls focusing on emerging and
foundational technologies. The new export controls could cover technologies used in one or more Teradyne products and therefore could impact the sales of
certain Teradyne products.
The U.S. government from time to time has issued export restrictions that prohibit U.S. companies from exporting U.S. manufactured products,
foreign manufactured products with more than 25% controlled U.S. content, as well as U.S. origin technology. For example, the U.S. Department of
Commerce has restricted the access of U.S. origin technologies to certain Chinese companies by adding those companies to the Entity List under U.S.
Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”).
On May 16, 2019, Huawei and 68 of its affiliates, including HiSilicon, were added to the U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List under the EAR.
This action by the U.S. Department of Commerce imposes new export licensing requirements on exports, re-exports, and in-country transfers of all U.S.
regulated products, software and technology to the designated Huawei entities. While most of our products are not subject to the EAR and therefore not
affected by the Entity List restrictions, certain of our products are currently manufactured in the U.S. and thus subject to the Entity List restrictions. The
addition of Huawei entities, including HiSilicon, to the Entity List in May 2019 did not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
On August 17, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce published final regulations expanding the scope of the U.S. EAR to include additional
products that would become subject to export restrictions relating to Huawei entities including HiSilicon. These new regulations restrict the sale to Huawei
and the designated Huawei entities of certain non-U.S. made items, such as semiconductor devices, manufactured for or sold to Huawei entities including
HiSilicon under specific, detailed conditions set forth in the new regulations. These new regulations have impacted our sales to Huawei, HiSilicon and their
suppliers. We are taking appropriate actions, including filing license applications and obtaining licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce as well as
working with the U.S. regulators to clarify the scope of the restrictions. However, we cannot be certain that the actions we take will mitigate the risks
associated with the new export controls that impact our business. It is uncertain the extent these new regulations and any other additional regulations that
may be implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce or other government agency may have on our business and financial results. Also, our controls
related to Entity List compliance could be circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. Even if such restrictions are lifted, any financial or other penalties
or continuing export restrictions imposed on Huawei could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
On April 28, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce published new export control regulations for certain U.S. products and technology sold to
military end users or for military end-use in China, Russia and Venezuela. The definition of military end user is broad. The regulations went into effect on
June 29, 2020. In December 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a list of companies in China and other countries that it considered to be
military end users. We do not expect that compliance with the new export controls will
23
Table of Contents
significantly impact our ability to sell products to our customers in China or to manufacture products in China. The new export controls, however, could
disrupt our supply chain, increase our compliance costs and impact the demand for our products in China and, thus, have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, while we maintain an export compliance program, our compliance controls could be
circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. We will continue to assess the potential impact of the new export controls on our business and operations and
take appropriate actions, including filing for licenses with the U.S. Department of Commerce, to minimize any disruption. However, we cannot be certain
that the actions we take will mitigate all the risks associated with the new export controls that may impact our business.
In response to the regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Chinese government has passed new laws, including blocking
legislation, which may impact our business activities in China. The Company is assessing the potential impact of these new Chinese laws and monitoring
relevant laws and regulations issued by the Chinese government. The impact of these new Chinese laws on our business activities in China remains
uncertain at this time.
We may be subject to product recalls and warranty and product liability claims.
We invest significant resources in the design, manufacture and testing of our products. However, we may discover design or manufacturing defects in
our products after they have been shipped and, as a result, we may incur development and remediation costs and be required to settle warranty and product
liability claims. In addition, if any of our products contain defects or have reliability, quality or safety issues, we may need to conduct a product recall which
could result in significant repair or replacement costs and substantial delays in product shipments and may damage our reputation which could make it more
difficult to sell our products. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
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 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, 2020, we have not incurred material costs as a result of the monitoring and remediation steps taken at the Massachusetts and
New Hampshire sites.
The directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “RoHS Directive”) and the
directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “WEEE Directive”) altered 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
24
Table of Contents
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.
We may face risks associated with shareholder activism.
We may become subject to campaigns by shareholders advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special
dividends, stock repurchases or divestitures. 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 may 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.

Item 2:
Properties
Our corporate headquarters is located in North Reading, Massachusetts in buildings that we own consisting of approximately 422,000 square feet. We
conduct manufacturing, engineering, sales and marketing, service, corporate administration and other operations in many locations worldwide. We own
approximately 600,000 square feet and lease over 1,500,000 square feet of office space for these operations. We believe our existing facilities and planned
expansions noted below are adequate to meet our current and reasonably foreseeable requirements. We regularly evaluate our expected facility needs and
periodically make adjustments based on these evaluations. In 2020, we purchased land in San Jose, Costa Rica primarily for our Semiconductor Test and
System Test operations. The new building of approximately 110,000 square feet is expected to be completed in 2021. We have purchased land in Denmark
and plan to build a new building over the next two years for our Industrial Automation operations.
Item 3:
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.

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 many industries including consumer electronics,
wireless, automotive, industrial, computing, communications, and aerospace and defense industries. Our industrial automation products include
collaborative robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots (“AMRs”) and advanced robotic control software used by global manufacturing, logistics and light
industrial customers to improve quality, increase manufacturing and material handling efficiency and decrease manufacturing and logistics costs. Our
automatic test equipment and industrial automation products and services include:
•
•
semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”) systems;
storage and system level test (“Storage Test”) systems, defense/aerospace (“Defense/Aerospace”) test instrumentation and systems and circuit-
board test and inspection (“Production Board Test”) systems (collectively these products represent “System Test”);
26
Table of Contents
•
•
wireless test (“Wireless Test”) systems; and
industrial automation (“Industrial Automation”) products.
The market for our test products is concentrated with a limited number of significant customers accounting for a substantial portion of the purchases
of test equipment. A few customers drive significant demand for our test products both through direct sales and sales to the customers’ supply partners. We
expect that sales of our test products will continue to be concentrated with a limited number of significant customers for the foreseeable future.
We have grown our Industrial Automation business through acquisitions, including Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (“MiR”), a leading maker of
collaborative autonomous mobile robots (“AMRs”) for industrial applications, in 2018 and AutoGuide, LLC (“AutoGuide”), a maker of high payload
AMRs, in 2019. The market for our industrial automation products is dependent on the adoption of new automation technologies by large manufacturers as
well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) throughout the world. In 2020, our Industrial Automation businesses were negatively impacted by the global
industrial downturn as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020, revenue in our test businesses exceeded our plan as a result of Semiconductor Test demand by our largest customer, early 5G test investments
and strength in our System Test businesses. The revenue of our Industrial Automation business was below our plan. In 2021, we expect strong momentum in
our test businesses and return to growth for Industrial Automation.
Our strategy is to focus on profitably growing market share in our test businesses the introduction of differentiated products that target growth
segments, and accelerating growth through continued investment in our Industrial Automation businesses. We plan to execute on our strategy while
balancing capital allocations between returning capital to our shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases and using capital for with opportunistic
acquisitions.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures in an effort to contain the
spread of the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, limitations on gatherings or social distancing requirements, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and
business limitations and shutdowns. These measures have impacted our day-to-day operations and disrupted our business, workforce and operations, as well
as the operations of our customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers. We are continuing to monitor the rapidly evolving situation regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic and the availability and impact of vaccinations. However, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact of COVID-19, which
will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with accuracy, including, but not limited to, any new surges in areas
where we do business, the availability of vaccinations, any further government actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what
extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
Health and Safety
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken proactive, aggressive action to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers,
contract manufacturers and suppliers and we have complied with all government orders around the globe. The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify
our business practices, including implementing social distancing protocols, suspending employee travel, requiring most employees to work remotely,
cancelling physical participation in meetings, and extensively and frequently disinfecting our workspaces. Around the world, the majority of our employees
are working from home. However, some of our engineering, operations, supply line and customer support teams must be on-site at our or our customers’
27
Table of Contents
facilities. We are providing those on-site employees with the necessary protective resources and procedures to minimize their exposure risk. We may take
further actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers,
contract manufacturers and suppliers.
Operations
We believe the COVID-19 pandemic, and the numerous measures implemented by authorities in response, has adversely impacted our results of
operations, including by increasing costs and decreasing demand in our Industrial Automation businesses, but we cannot accurately estimate the amount of
the impact to our 2020 financial results or to our future financial results. In addition, the pandemic has disrupted our contract manufacturers and suppliers,
and has resulted in some instances in short-term cost increases to meet customer demand. While the duration and severity of the pandemic may further
impact our workforce and operations, as well as those of our customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers, we expect that our manufacturing facilities
will remain operational, at sufficient capacity to support production demand. We are monitoring our operations closely in an effort to avoid any potential
productivity loss caused by responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supply
We have not experienced any significant impacts or interruptions to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, our suppliers
have faced and may continue to face difficulties maintaining operations in light of government-ordered restrictions, including social distancing requirements
and shelter-in-place mandates. Our supply chain team, and our suppliers, overcame numerous supply, production, and logistics obstacles in 2020, but there
is no assurance we or they will be able to do so in the future. Although we regularly monitor the financial health of companies in our supply chain, financial
hardship on our suppliers or sub-suppliers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt our ability to obtain components required to manufacture our
products, adversely affecting our operations and in some instances result in higher costs and delays, both for obtaining components and shipping finished
goods to customers, which could harm our profitability, make our products less competitive, or cause our customers to seek alternative suppliers.
Demand
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty in our markets. Demand for our Test products was strong throughout
2020. While there was incremental softening in the automotive sector in 2020, there was strengthening demand in mobility, 5G, and memory test. Our
Industrial Automation business, however, experienced a significant decline in demand through first half of 2020 due to COVID-19 related shutdowns
affecting global manufacturing but demand recovered in the second half of 2020 from the low point in the second quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic could
cause further global economic disruption that could cause demand for our products to decline, which would adversely affect our business.
Liquidity
Although there is continued uncertainty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe our business model and our
current cash reserves leave us well-positioned to manage our business through this crisis. We have a strong balance sheet as well as an operating model that
we believe is capable of flexing up and down with extreme demand swings while still remaining profitable. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing
balances of cash and cash equivalents and our currently anticipated operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and other
capital and liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. However, due to the uncertainty related to the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,
28
Table of Contents
in order to bolster our liquidity position, on May 1, 2020 we entered into a credit agreement providing for a three-year, senior secured revolving credit
facility of $400 million as further described in Note J: “Debt.” As of February 22, 2020, we have not borrowed any funds under the credit facility.
We are continuing to monitor the evolving situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of vaccinations where we do business and
guidance from government authorities around the world. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our
operating plan. As a result, given the uncertain nature of this situation, we are not able to accurately predict the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on
our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or cash flows in the future. In addition, see Part II—Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included
herein for updates to our risk factors regarding risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and our markets. We are not aware of any specific
event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of February
22, 2021, the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ significantly from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), we recognize revenues, when or as control is transferred to a
customer. Our determination of revenue is dependent upon a five step process outlined below.
•
•
•
•
We account for a contract with a customer when there is written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including
payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection.
We periodically enter into contracts with customers in which a customer may purchase a combination of goods and services, such as products
with extended warranty obligations. We determine performance obligations by assessing whether the products or services are distinct from the
other elements of the contract. In order to be distinct, the product or service must perform either on its own or with readily available resources
and must be separate within the context of the contract.
We consider the amount stated on the face of the purchase order to be the transaction price. We do not have variable consideration which could
impact the stated purchase price agreed to by us and the customer.
Transaction price is allocated to each individual performance obligation based on the standalone selling price of that performance obligation.
We use standalone transactions when available to value each performance obligation. If standalone transactions are not available, we will
estimate the standalone selling price through market assessments or cost plus a reasonable margin analysis. Any discounts from standalone
selling price are spread proportionally to each performance obligation.

In order to determine the appropriate timing for revenue recognition, we first determine if the transaction meets any of three criteria for over
time recognition. If the transaction meets the criteria for over time recognition, we recognize revenue as the good or service is delivered. We
use input variables such as hours or months utilized or costs incurred to determine the amount of revenue to recognize in a given period. Input
variables are used as they best align consumption with benefit to the customer. For transactions that do not meet the criteria for over time
recognition, we will recognize revenue at a point in time based on an assessment of the five criteria for transfer of control. We have concluded
that revenue should be recognized when shipped or delivered based on contractual terms. Typically, acceptance of our products and services is
a formality as we deliver similar systems, instruments and robots to standard specifications. In cases where acceptance is not deemed a
formality, we will defer revenue recognition until customer acceptance.
Translation of Non-U.S. Currencies
The functional currency for all non-U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for Universal Robots, MiR and Lemsys 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 Universal Robots, MiR and Lemsys, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the
period. Revenues 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) on the balance sheet.
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.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715):
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” We retrospectively adopted the new accounting
guidance on presentation of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs in the first quarter of 2018. This guidance requires the
service cost component of net benefit costs to be reported in the same line item in the consolidated statement of operations as other employee compensation
costs. The non-service components of net benefit costs such as interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service cost, and actuarial gains
or losses, are required to be reported separately outside of income or loss from operations. Following the adoption of this guidance, we continue to record
the service cost component in the same line item as other employee compensation costs and the non-service components of net benefit costs such as interest
cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service cost, and actuarial gains or losses are reported within other (income) expense, net.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost using a standard costing system which approximates cost based on a 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 for both excess and
obsolete inventory when such
30
Table of Contents
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.” Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting,” in the first quarter of 2017, we made an accounting policy election to continue accounting for forfeitures by applying an estimated forfeiture
rate and recognizing compensation costs only for those stock- based compensation awards expected to vest. In accordance with ASU 2016-09, excess tax
benefits or tax deficiencies are recognized as a discrete tax benefit or discrete tax expense to the current income tax provision in our consolidated statements
of operations and are reported as cash flows from operating activities. All cash payments made to taxing authorities on the employees’ behalf for withheld
shares are presented as financing activities on the statement of cash flows. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a discrete tax benefit of $9.6 million,
$4.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively, related to net excess tax benefit.
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.
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.
Investment in Other Companies
We account for investments in other companies at cost and evaluate for impairment or an indication of changes in fair value resulting from observable
price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer on a quarterly basis.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities.” We adopted the new accounting
31
Table of Contents
guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. This guidance requires that changes in fair value of equity marketable
securities be accounted for directly in earnings. Previously, the changes in fair value of equity marketable securities were recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income on the balance sheet. We continue to record realized gains in interest income and realized losses in interest expense. The adoption of
this new accounting guidance increased the January 1, 2018 retained earnings balance by $3.1 million and decreased the accumulated other comprehensive
income balance by the same amount.
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments.” This standard introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets that are not measured
at fair value through net income and replaces the “incurred loss” model with an “expected credit loss” model that requires consideration of a broader range
of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective
basis. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of operations, balance sheets, cash flows, or earnings per
share.
Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
On January 26, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment.” The new guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical
purchase price allocation. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material
impact on the consolidated statement of operations, cash flows, or earnings per share. 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. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the
carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a
qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all
reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. Entities will be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero
or negative carrying amounts. No goodwill impairment was identified in 2020, 2019 and 2018.
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.
Business Combination
We recognize the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair
value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed cash flows valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management. We
estimate the fair value of contingent consideration at the time of the acquisition using all pertinent information known to us at the time to assess the
probability of payment of contingent amounts or through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair
value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. The assumptions used in the valuations for our acquisitions may
differ materially from actual results depending on performance of the acquired businesses and other factors. While we believe the
32
Table of Contents
assumptions used were appropriate, different assumptions in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed could have a material impact on the
timing and extent of impact on our statements of operations. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units as of the date of the related acquisition.

The increase in Semiconductor Test revenues of $707.0 million, or 45.5%, was driven primarily by an increase in semiconductor mobility test sales
resulting from increased complexity of cell phone silicon which drives demand for testers, and an increase in memory test sales of flash and DRAM testers.
The increase in System Test revenues of $122.2 million, or 42.5%, was primarily due to higher sales in Storage Test of system level and hard disk drive
testers, and higher sales in Defense/Aerospace test instrumentation and systems, partially offset by lower sales in Production Board Test due to lower
automotive electronics demand. The decrease in Industrial Automation revenues of $18.4 million, or 6.2%, was primarily due to lower demand for
collaborative robotic arms in the automotive and manufacturing markets amplified by the impacts of COVID-19. The increase in Wireless Test revenues of
$15.7 million, or 10.0%, was primarily due to increased sales of 5G, WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E testers.

Our product revenues increased $803.2 million, or 42.5%, primarily due to higher sales in Semiconductor Test mobility test segment, higher sales of
flash and DRAM testers, higher sales in Storage Test of system level and hard disk drive testers, and higher sales in Wireless Test of 5G, WiFi 6 and
WiFi 6E testers, partially offset by a decrease in sales in Industrial Automation. Service revenues increased $23.3 million or 5.7%.
In 2020, revenues from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd., a customer of our Semiconductor Test segment, accounted for 15% of
our consolidated revenues. In 2019, no single direct customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues. In 2020 and 2019, our five largest
direct customers in aggregate accounted for 36% and 27% of our consolidated revenues, respectively.
We estimate consolidated revenues driven by one OEM customer, combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs,
accounted for approximately 25% and 10% of our consolidated revenues in 2020 and 2019, respectively. We estimate consolidated revenues driven by
Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Huawei”), combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs, accounted for approximately 3%

revenues. 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, Industrial Automation and System Test segments and next four quarters for our Wireless Test segment, is written-down to estimated net realizable
value.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an inventory provision of $17.5 million included in cost of revenues, primarily due to
downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels for certain products. Of the $17.5 million of total excess and obsolete provisions, $11.0 million
was related to Semiconductor Test, $4.8 million was related to Wireless Test, $0.9 million was related to System Test, and $0.8 million was related to
Industrial Automation.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded an inventory provision of $15.2 million included in cost of revenues, primarily due to
downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels for certain products. Of the $15.2 million of total excess and obsolete provisions, $8.7 million
was related to Semiconductor Test, $4.0 million was related to Wireless Test, $2.0 million was related to System Test, and $0.5 million was related to
Industrial Automation.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we scrapped $7.7 million and $9.2 million of inventory, respectively, and sold $2.3 million and
$3.2 million of previously written-down or written-off inventory, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had inventory related reserves for amounts
which had been written-down or written-off totaling $110.6 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

The increase in income before income taxes in Semiconductor Test was driven primarily by an increase in semiconductor mobility test sales resulting
from increased complexity of cell phone silicon which drives demand for testers, and an increase in memory test sales of flash and DRAM testers. The
increase in income before income taxes in System Test was primarily due to higher sales in Storage Test of system level and hard disk drive testers, and
higher sales in Defense/Aerospace test of instrumentation and systems, partially offset by lower sales in Production Board due to lower automotive
electronics demand. The increase in income before income taxes in Wireless Test was primarily due to increased sales of 5G, WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E testers.
The decrease in income before income taxes in Industrial Automation was primarily due to lower demand for collaborative robotic arms in the automotive
and manufacturing markets amplified by the impacts of COVID-19.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for 2020, 2019 and 2018 totaled $116.9 million, $58.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2020,
2019 and 2018 was 13.0%, 11.1% and 3.4%, respectively.
The increase in the effective tax rate from 2019 to 2020 is primarily attributable to a reduction in the benefit from releases of reserves for uncertain
tax positions and a reduction in the benefit from foreign tax credits. These increases in expense were partially offset by a decrease in the transition tax on the
mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and shift in the geographic distribution of income, which increases the income subject to taxation in
lower tax rate jurisdictions relative to higher tax rate jurisdictions.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded $186.0 million of additional income tax expense which represented our best estimate of the impact of the
Tax Reform Act in accordance with our understanding of the Tax Reform Act and available guidance as of that date. The $186.0 million was primarily
composed of expense of $161.0 million related to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, $33.6 million of
expense related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, and
benefit of $10.3 million associated with the impact of correlative adjustments on uncertain tax positions. In accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, in the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed
our analysis of the effect of the Tax Reform Act based on the application of the guidance available as of December 31, 2018 and recorded $49.5 million of
net income tax benefit. The net benefit consisted of $51.7 million of benefit resulting from a reduction in the estimate of the one-time transition tax on the
mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and an expense of $2.2 million associated with the impact of correlative adjustments on uncertain tax
positions.
The increase in the effective tax rate from 2018 to 2019 is primarily attributable to increases in expense associated with U.S. global intangible
low-taxed income and U.S. transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. These increases in expense were partially offset by
increased benefit from the U.S. foreign derived intangible income deduction, an increase in the benefit from foreign tax credits and the benefit from a net
reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions.
We qualify 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 Singapore tax holiday for the years ended
December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $29.9 million or $0.16 per diluted share, $15.1 million or $0.08 per diluted share and $11.9 million or $0.06 per
diluted share, respectively. In November 2020, we 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, 2020. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire
on December 31, 2025.

In January 2020, May 2020, August 2020 and November 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share. Total
dividend payments in 2020 were $66.5 million.
In January 2019, May 2019, August 2019 and November 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share. Total
dividend payments in 2019 were $61.3 million.
In January 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on March 19, 2021 to shareholders of record
as of February 19, 2021. 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 2020, our Board of Directors cancelled the January 2018 stock repurchase program and approved a new stock repurchase program for up to
$1.0 billion in common stock. On April 1, 2020, we suspended the share repurchase program. In 2020, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock
for $88.5 million at an average price per share of $58.33. In 2019, we repurchased 10.9 million shares of common stock for $500.0 million at an average
price per share of $45.89. The cumulative repurchases as of December 31, 2019, for the 2018 stock repurchase program, totaled 32.5 million shares of
common stock for $1,323.0 million at an average price per share of $40.68. In January 2021, our Board of Directors cancelled the January 2020 repurchase
program and approved a new repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of common stock. Unless terminated by resolution of our Board of Directors, the
repurchase program will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the share repurchase program. We intend to
repurchase a minimum of $600 million in 2021.
While we declared a quarterly cash dividend and authorized a share repurchase program, we may reduce or eliminate the cash dividend or share
repurchase program in the future. Future cash dividends and stock repurchases are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, which will consider,
among other things, our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition.

On May 1, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement providing a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400 million. As of
February 22, 2021, we have not borrowed any funds under the credit facility.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance will be sufficient to pay our quarterly dividend and meet our working capital
and expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings. At this time, the COVID-19
pandemic has not had an impact on our liquidity, but there is no assurance that continued impacts resulting from the pandemic will not have an adverse
effect in the future.
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 plans’ 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.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, 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 $13.9 million. Pension expense 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 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 developing the expected return on U.S. Plan assets assumption, we evaluated input from our investment manager and pension consultants,
including their forecast of asset class return expectations. We believe that 3.0% was an appropriate rate of return on assets to use for 2020. The
December 31, 2020 asset allocation for our U.S. Plan was 94% invested in fixed income securities, 5% 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 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.
The discount rate that we utilized for determining future pension obligations for the U.S. Plan is based on the FTSE Pension Index adjusted for the
U.S. Plan’s expected cash flows and was 2.3% at December 31, 2020, down from 3.1% at December 31, 2019. We estimate that in 2021 we will recognize
approximately $0.9 million of pension expense for the U.S. Plan. The U.S. Plan pension expense estimate for 2021 is based on a 2.3% discount rate and a
2.4% 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, 2020, our pension plans had no unrecognized pension prior service cost.
The assets of the U.S. Plan consist substantially of fixed income securities. U.S. Plan assets have decreased from $166.9 million at December 31,
2019 to $158.9 million at December 31, 2020, while the U.S. Plan’s
41
Table of Contents
liability decreased from $148.5 million at December 31, 2019 to $141.4 million at December 31, 2020. In 2020, the decrease in plan assets and plan liability
was primarily due to a retiree annuity purchase. In 2020, the accrued pension obligations for approximately 115 retiree participants were transferred to an
insurance company and resulted in a $24.4 million reduction in the pension benefit obligation and pension assets. We recorded $2.2 million of pension
actuarial loss and a settlement loss of $0.5 million related to the retiree group annuity transaction.
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 2020, we made contributions of $3.1 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan, and $1.1 million to certain
qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. In 2021, we expect to contribute approximately $3.3 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit
pension plan. Contributions to be made in 2021 to certain qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries are based on local statutory requirements and are
estimated at approximately $1.1 million.
Equity Compensation Plans
In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in Note Q: “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. At our annual meeting of stockholders held May 12, 2015, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Equity Plan to extend
its term until May 12, 2025.

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 were granted under the LitePoint Plan. As of
December 31, 2020, there were outstanding options exercisable for an aggregate of 6,125 shares of our common stock pursuant to the LitePoint Plan,
with a weighted average exercise price of $3.77 per share.

Table of Contents
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, 2020 was 6,122,630 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.
As of December 31, 2020, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units and options was $44 million and is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.
Performance Graph
The following graph compares the change in our cumulative total shareholder return in our common stock with (i) the NYSE Composite Index and
(ii) the Morningstar Semiconductor Equipment & Materials Industry Group (compiled by Morningstar, Inc.), and (iii) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The
comparison assumes $100.00 was invested on December 31, 2015 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 NYSE Composite Index. Going forward, we will compare ourselves to (i) Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, as a result of Teradyne being
added, on September 21, 2020, to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and (ii) the Morningstar Semiconductor Equipment & Materials Industry Group
(compiled by Morningstar, Inc.)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity,” which simplifies the accounting for convertible
43
Table of Contents
debt instruments by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from
the primary contract. This ASU requires a convertible debt instrument to be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no
other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. This ASU requires an entity to use the if-converted method in the diluted earnings per share
calculation for convertible instruments. This ASU will be effective for Teradyne on January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1,
2021. This ASU permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. Teradyne is evaluating the timing and effects
of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.
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. As of December 31, 2020, a customer of our Semiconductor Test segment, JA Mitsui Leasing, Ltd., accounted for 25% of our accounts
receivable balance. The balance was paid in full as of February 22, 2021. There were no customers who accounted for 10% or more of our accounts
receivable balance as of December 31, 2019.
In addition to market risks, we have an equity price risk related to the fair value of our convertible senior unsecured notes issued in December 2016.
In December 2016, Teradyne issued $460 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) due December 15,
2023. As of December 31, 2020, the Notes had a fair value of $1,740 million. The table below provides a sensitivity analysis of hypothetical 10% changes
of Teradyne’s stock price as of the end of 2020 and the estimated impact on the fair value of the Notes. The selected scenarios are not predictions of future
events, but rather are intended to illustrate the effect such event may have on the fair value of the Notes. The fair value of the Notes is subject to equity price
risk due to the convertible feature. The fair value of the Notes will generally increase as Teradyne’s common stock price increases and will generally
decrease as the common stock price declines in value. The change in stock price affects the fair value of the convertible senior notes, but does not impact
Teradyne’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligation. Additionally, we carry the Notes at face value
less unamortized discount on our balance sheet, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only. In connection with the offering of the
Notes we also sold warrants to the option counterparties. These transactions have been accounted for as an adjustment to our shareholders’ equity. The
convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential equity dilution upon conversion of the Notes. The warrants along with any shares
issuable upon conversion of the Notes will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share to the extent that the average market price of our common stock
for a given reporting period exceeds the applicable strike price or conversion price of the warrants or Notes, respectively.

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, Euro, Philippine Peso and Chinese Yuan. 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, 2020 and 2019, 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.
Interest Rate Risk Management
We are exposed to potential losses due to changes in interest rates. Our interest rate exposure is primarily 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, 2020
and 2019.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Teradyne, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teradyne, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, convertible common shares and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2020 appearing under Item 15(c) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have
audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Changes in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019 and the manner in
which it accounts for revenue from contracts with customers in 2018.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an
46
Table of Contents
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.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated
financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not
alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below,
providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of Contingent Consideration payable related to the acquisition of AutoGuide, LLC
As described in Notes D, H and O to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of AutoGuide, LLC on November 13,
2019. The total purchase price was approximately $81.6 million, which included contingent consideration payable upon achievement of certain performance
targets, extending potentially through 2022. As of December 31, 2020, the maximum contingent consideration that could be paid is $100.2 million and
management estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be approximately $7.2 million based on forecasted results, after recording
$19.7 million in restructuring and other expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020. The valuation of contingent consideration is remeasured at each
financial reporting date from the acquisition date through the date of final settlement using the Monte Carlo simulation model, and it is dependent on the
following assumptions: forecasted revenues, revenue volatility, earnings before interest and taxes, and discount rate at each reporting date.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of contingent consideration payable related to the
acquisition of AutoGuide, LLC is a critical audit matter are (i) the high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures relating to the
fair value measurement of the contingent consideration due to the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate;
(ii) significant audit effort in evaluating the significant assumptions related to forecasted revenues and earnings before interest and taxes used in the Monte
Carlo simulation model; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
47
Table of Contents
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s valuation of contingent consideration,
including controls over the development of the forecasted revenues and earnings before interest and taxes used in the valuation of the contingent
consideration. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; (ii) evaluating the
appropriateness of the Monte Carlo simulation model; (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to forecasted revenues and
earnings before interest and taxes; and (iv) testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the underlying data used in the model. Evaluating
management’s assumptions related to forecasted revenues and earnings before interest and taxes involved evaluating whether the assumptions were
reasonable considering historical results and consistency with external industry and market data. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were
used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the Monte Carlo simulation model, as well as the reasonableness of certain assumptions.

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 and liabilities,
pensions, warranties, contingent consideration liabilities, 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. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been
uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and our markets. Management is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an
update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of February 22, 2021, the date of issuance of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ significantly from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Teradyne adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” on January 1, 2018 using the modified
retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption.
In accordance with ASC 606, Teradyne recognizes revenues, when or as control is transferred to a customer. Teradyne’s determination of revenue is
dependent upon a five step process outlined below.
•
•
•
Teradyne accounts for a contract with a customer when there is written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including
payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection.
Teradyne periodically enters into contracts with customers in which a customer may purchase a combination of goods and services, such as
products with extended warranty obligations. Teradyne determines performance obligations by assessing whether the products or services are
distinct from the other elements of the contract. In order to be distinct, the product or service must perform either on its own or with readily
available resources and must be separate within the context of the contract.
Teradyne considers the amount stated on the face of the purchase order to be the transaction price. Teradyne does not have material variable
consideration which could impact the stated purchase price agreed to by Teradyne and the customer.
55
Table of Contents
•
•
Transaction price is allocated to each individual performance obligation based on the standalone selling price of that performance obligation.
Teradyne uses standalone transactions when available to value each performance obligation. If standalone transactions are not available,
Teradyne will estimate the standalone selling price through market assessments or cost plus a reasonable margin analysis. Any discounts from
standalone selling price are spread proportionally to each performance obligation.
In order to determine the appropriate timing for revenue recognition, Teradyne first determines if the transaction meets any of three criteria for
over time recognition. If the transaction meets the criteria for over time recognition, Teradyne recognizes revenue as the good or service is
delivered. Teradyne uses input variables such as hours or months utilized or costs incurred to determine the amount of revenue to recognize in
a given period. Input variables are used as they best align consumption with benefit to the customer. For transactions that do not meet the
criteria for over time recognition, Teradyne will recognize revenue at a point in time based on an assessment of the five criteria for transfer of
control. Teradyne has concluded that revenue should be recognized when shipped or delivered based on contractual terms. Typically,
acceptance of Teradyne’s products and services is a formality as Teradyne delivers similar systems, instruments and robots to standard
specifications. In cases where acceptance is not deemed a formality, Teradyne will defer revenue recognition until customer acceptance.
Performance Obligations
Products
Teradyne products consist primarily of semiconductor test systems and instruments, defense/aerospace test instrumentation and systems, storage test
systems and instruments, circuit-board test and inspection systems and instruments, wireless test systems and industrial automation products. Teradyne’s
hardware is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Services
Teradyne services consist of extended warranties, training and application support, service agreements, post contract customer support (“PCS”) and
replacement parts. Each service is recognized based on relative standalone selling price. Extended warranty, training and support, service agreements and
PCS are recognized over time based on the period of service. Replacement parts are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Teradyne does not allow customer returns or provide refunds to customers for any products or services. Teradyne products include a standard 12-
month warranty. This warranty is not considered a distinct performance obligation because it does not obligate Teradyne to provide a separate service to the
customer and it cannot be purchased separately. Cost related to warranty are included in cost of revenues when product revenues are recognized.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, deferred revenue and customer advances consisted of the following and are included in the short and long-term
deferred revenue and customer advances:
Maintenance, service and training
Customer advances, undelivered elements and other

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. 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.

Teradyne sells certain trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions pursuant to factoring agreements.
Teradyne accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as a cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated
statements of cash flows. Total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreements were $131.1 million and $143.6 million during 2020 and 2019,
respectively. Factoring fees for the sales of receivables are recorded in interest expense and are not material.
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.
Teradyne uses the market and income approach techniques to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during
the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 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. 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 is considered a Level 2 input; or
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 investments are classified as
Level 2, and equity investments are classified as Level 1. Acquisition-related contingent consideration is classified as Level 3. Teradyne determines the fair
value of acquisition-related contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Assumptions utilized in the model include forecasted revenues,
revenue volatility, earnings before interest and taxes, and discount rate.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10):
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Teradyne adopted the new accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2018
using the modified retrospective approach. This guidance requires that changes in fair value of equity securities be accounted for directly in earnings.
Previously, the changes in fair value were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Teradyne records realized gains and
losses in other (income) expense, net. The adoption of this new accounting guidance increased the January 1, 2018 retained earnings balance by $3.1 million
and decreased the accumulated other comprehensive income balance by the same amount.
Prepayments
Prepayments consist of the following and are included in prepayments and other current assets on the balance sheet:
Contract manufacturer and supplier prepayments
Prepaid taxes
Prepaid maintenance and other services
Other prepayments
Total prepayments

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.
Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic
Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” Teradyne retrospectively adopted the new accounting guidance on presentation of net periodic
pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs in the first quarter of 2018. This guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit costs
to be reported in the same line item in the consolidated statement of operations as other employee compensation costs. The non-service components of net
benefit costs such as interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service cost, and actuarial gains or losses, are required to be reported
separately outside of income or loss from operations. Following the adoption of this guidance, Teradyne continues to record the service cost component in
the same line item as other employee compensation costs and the non-service components of net benefit costs such as interest cost, expected return on
assets, amortization of prior service cost, and actuarial gains or losses are reported within other (income) expense, net.
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
59
Table of Contents
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 a quantitative 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, a quantitative 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 flows analysis. The cash flows estimates used to
determine the impairment, if any, contain management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time.
Business Combination
Teradyne recognizes the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed cash flows valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management.
Teradyne estimates the fair value of contingent consideration at the time of the acquisition using all pertinent information known to us at the time to assess
the probability of payment of contingent amounts or through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. Teradyne allocates any excess purchase price over
the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. The assumptions used in the valuations for our
acquisitions may differ materially from actual results depending on performance of the acquired businesses and other factors. While Teradyne believes the
assumptions used were appropriate, different assumptions in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed could have a material impact on the
timing and extent of impact on our statements of operations. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units as of the date of the related acquisition.
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 consolidated statements 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:
Buildings
Building improvements
Leasehold improvements
Furniture and fixtures
Test systems manufactured internally
Machinery, equipment and software
40 years
5 to 10 years
Lesser of lease term or 10 years
10 years
6 years
3 to 5 years
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
60
Table of Contents
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, 2020,
2019, and 2018 was $7.3 million, $5.0 million, and $3.8 million, respectively.
Leases
Teradyne adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“Topic 842”) and the related amendments (collectively
“ASC 842”) on January 1, 2019 and utilized the modified retrospective approach provided by ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,”
that allowed for a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of adoption.
Under ASC 842, a contract is or contains a lease when Teradyne has the right to control the use of an identified asset. Teradyne determines if an
arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to and the agreement creates enforceable
rights and obligations. The commencement date of the lease is the date that the lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by Teradyne. As of
December 31, 2020, Teradyne does not have material leases that have not yet commenced.
Teradyne determines if the lease is an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date based upon the terms of the lease and the nature of
the asset. The lease term used to calculate the lease liability includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option
will be exercised.
For leases commencing after January 1, 2019, the lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the
discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As Teradyne is typically unable to determine the implicit rate, Teradyne uses an incremental
borrowing rate based on the lease term and economic environment at commencement date. Teradyne initially measures payments based on an index by
using the applicable rate at lease commencement. Variable payments that do not depend on an index are not included in the lease liability and are recognized
as they are incurred. The ROU asset is initially measured as the amount of lease liability, adjusted for any initial lease costs, prepaid lease payments, and
reduced by any lease incentives.
Teradyne’s contracts often include non-lease components such as common area maintenance. Teradyne elected the practical expedient to account for
the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For leases with a term of one year or less Teradyne has elected not to record the lease asset
or liability. The lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Teradyne includes lease
costs within cost of revenues and operating expenses. See Note I: “Leases.”
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 including non-recurring engineering charges
related to product design, 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.”
Excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies are recognized as a discrete tax benefit or discrete tax expense to the current income tax provision in
Teradyne’s consolidated statements of operations, all excess tax benefits related
61
Table of Contents
to share-based payments are reported as cash flows from operating activities, and all cash payments made to taxing authorities on the employees’ behalf for
withheld shares are presented as financing activities on the statement of cash flows.
Teradyne elects to account for forfeitures by applying an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes 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.
Advertising Costs
Teradyne expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $12.8 million, $16.6 million and $15.4 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
Translation of Non-U.S. Currencies
The functional currency for all non-U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for Universal Robots, MiR and Lemsys 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 Universal Robots, MiR and Lemsys, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the
period. Revenues 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) on the balance sheet.
Net foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are included in other (income) expense, net. For the years ended December 31,
2020, 2019, and 2018, losses (gains) from the remeasurement of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were $2.6 million,
$(1.6) million, and $(2.5) million, respectively.
These amounts do not reflect the corresponding (gains) losses from foreign exchange contracts. See Note H: “Financial Instruments” regarding
foreign exchange contracts.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive, diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
the sum of the weighted average number of common shares plus common stock equivalents, if applicable.
62
Table of Contents
With respect to its convertible debt issued in 2016, Teradyne has determined that it has the ability and intent to settle the principal of the convertible
debt in cash; accordingly, the principal amount is excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share. As a result, Teradyne is accounting for the
conversion spread using the treasury stock method.
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 marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustment. Prior to 2018, comprehensive income (loss) included unrealized
gains and losses on investments in equity marketable securities.
C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity,” which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of
embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. This ASU requires a convertible debt instrument to be
accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. This ASU
requires an entity to use the if-converted method in the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments. This ASU will be effective for
Teradyne on January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. This ASU permits the use of either the modified retrospective or
fully retrospective method of transition. Teradyne is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.
D. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENT IN OTHER COMPANY
Acquisitions
AutoGuide LLC
On November 13, 2019, Teradyne acquired 100% of the membership interests of AutoGuide, LLC (“AutoGuide”), a maker of high-payload AMRs,
based in Chelmsford, MA, an emerging and fast growing segment of the global forklift market. The total purchase price was approximately $81.6 million,
which included cash paid of approximately $57.6 million and $24.0 million in fair value of contingent consideration payable upon achievement of certain
performance targets, extending potentially through 2022. At December 31, 2020, the maximum contingent consideration that could be paid is
$100.2 million.
The contingent consideration is payable upon achievement of certain thresholds and targets for revenue and earnings before interest and taxes for
periods from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020, January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, and January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022.
The valuation of the contingent consideration is dependent on the following assumptions: forecasted revenues, revenue volatility, earnings before
interest and taxes, and discount rate. These assumptions were estimated based on a review of the historical and projected results.
The AutoGuide 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. AutoGuide’s AMRs are used for material transport of payloads up to 4,500 kg in manufacturing,
warehouse and logistics applications. These products complement Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (“MiR”) lower payload products and expand the Industrial
Automation segment, which is a key component of Teradyne’s growth strategy.
The allocation of the total purchase price to AutoGuide’s net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was based on their fair values as of the
acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the
63
Table of Contents
identifiable intangible assets and net tangible assets in the amount of $41.2 million was allocated to goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes.
AutoGuide’s results have been included in Teradyne’s Industrial Automation segment from the date of acquisition.

income taxes.
Lemsys SA
On January 30, 2019, Teradyne acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lemsys SA (“Lemsys”) for a total purchase price of
approximately $9.1 million. Lemsys strengthens Teradyne’s position in the electrification trends of vehicles, solar and wind power, and industrial
applications. The Lemsys acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the results have been included in Teradyne’s
Semiconductor Test segment from the date of acquisition. Teradyne’s final allocation of the purchase price was goodwill of $1.4 million, which is not
deductible for tax purposes, acquired intangible assets of $4.6 million with an average estimated useful life of 5.2 years, and $3.1 million of net tangible
assets. The acquisition was not material to Teradyne’s consolidated financial statements.
Mobile Industrial Robots
On April 25, 2018, Teradyne acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of MiR, a Danish limited liability company located in Odense,
Denmark. MiR is a leading maker of collaborative autonomous mobile robots for industrial applications.
64
Table of Contents
The total purchase price of $197.8 million included $145.2 million of cash paid and $52.6 million of contingent consideration measured at fair value.
The contingent consideration is payable in Euros upon the achievement of certain thresholds and targets for revenue and earnings before interest and taxes
for periods from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018; January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019; and January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. Contingent
consideration for the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 was $31.0 million and was paid in March 2019. Contingent consideration for the
period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was $9.1 million, based on the results during the period and modification of the earn-out structure, and
was paid in March 2020. No contingent consideration will be paid out against the period from December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2020.
The valuation of the contingent consideration is dependent on the following assumptions: forecasted revenues, revenue volatility, earnings before
interest and taxes, and discount rate. These assumptions were estimated based on a review of the historical and projected results.
The MiR 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. MiR’s products will help expand the Industrial Automation segment, which is a key component of our growth
strategy. The allocation of the total purchase price to MiR’s 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 $136.0 million
was allocated to goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. MiR’s results have been included in Teradyne’s Industrial Automation segment from the
date of acquisition.

Energid Technologies Corporation
On February 26, 2018, Teradyne acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Energid for a total purchase price of approximately
$27.6 million. Energid’s technology enables and simplifies the programming of complex robotic motions used in a wide variety of end markets, ranging
from heavy industry to healthcare, utilizing both traditional robots and collaborative robots. The Energid acquisition was accounted for as a business
combination and, accordingly, Energid’s results have been included in Teradyne’s Industrial Automation segment from the date of acquisition. As of the
acquisition date, Teradyne’s purchase price allocation was goodwill of $14.4 million which is deductible for tax purposes, acquired intangible assets of
$12.3 million with an average estimated useful life of 7.7 years, and $1.0 million of net tangible assets. The acquisition was not material to Teradyne’s
consolidated financial statements.

Investment in Other Company
On June 3, 2019, Teradyne invested $15.0 million in RealWear, Inc. (“RealWear”). RealWear, a private company, develops and sells advanced
wearable technology including industrial, hands-free, head-mounted augmented reality devices that make the workplace safer and more productive. The
investment was recorded at cost and is evaluated for impairment or an indication of changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes in orderly
transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer on a quarterly basis. On February 28, 2020, RealWear’s debt holder demanded
repayment of its $25.0 million loan to RealWear. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2019, Teradyne recorded an impairment charge of $15.0 million to
reduce its investment in RealWear to zero as of December 31, 2019.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2019, Teradyne paid $30.8 million and $3.8 million of contingent consideration for the earn-outs in connection
with the acquisitions of MiR and Universal Robots A/S (“Universal Robots”), respectively.
(2) During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fair value of contingent consideration for the earn-out in connection with the acquisition of MiR was
decreased by $22.2 million primarily due to a decrease in forecasted revenues partially offset by the impact from modification of the earn-out
structure. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fair value of contingent consideration for the earn-out in connection with the acquisition of
AutoGuide was increased by $3.0 million primarily due to an increase in forecasted revenues
(3) During the year ended December 31, 2020, Teradyne paid $8.9 million of contingent consideration for the earn-out in connection with the acquisition
of MiR.
(4) During the year ended December 31, 2020, the fair value of contingent consideration for the earn-out in connection with the acquisition of AutoGuide
was decreased by $19.7 million primarily due to a decrease in forecasted revenues and earnings before interest and taxes. Teradyne has received a
letter from the sellers of AutoGuide alleging non-compliance with the earn-out provisions of the AutoGuide acquisition agreement. Teradyne disputes
the allegation of non-compliance. The ultimate amount of contingent consideration for the earn-outs in connection with the acquisition of AutoGuide
may be affected by the outcome of the dispute. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the fair value of contingent consideration for the earn-out
in connection with the acquisition of MiR was decreased by $3.5 million primarily due to a decrease in forecasted revenues.

As of December 31, 2020, the significant unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to fair value the AutoGuide contingent
consideration include forecasted revenues, revenue volatility, earnings before interest and taxes and discount rate. Increases or decreases in the inputs would
result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2020, the maximum amount of contingent consideration that could be paid in
connection with the acquisition of AutoGuide is $100.2 million. No payment was made related to the period ending December 31, 2020. The remaining
earn-out periods end on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

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, 2020 and 2019, 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:
Japanese Yen
Taiwan Dollar
Korean Won
British Pound Sterling
Singapore Dollar

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. As of December 31, 2020, a customer of our Semiconductor Test segment, JA Mitsui Leasing, LTD, accounted for 25%
of our accounts receivable balance. The balance was paid in full as of February 22, 2021. There were no customers who accounted for 10% or more of our
accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2019.
I. LEASES
Teradyne has facility and auto leases, which are accounted for as operating leases. Teradyne’s facility leases are primarily used for administrative
functions, research and development, manufacturing, and storage and distribution. Remaining lease terms range from less than one year to twelve years.

Table of Contents
Total lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $38.5 million and included $12.1 million of variable lease costs and $3.4 million of
costs related to short-term leases, which are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
Total lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $35.6 million and included $11.1 million of variable lease costs and $2.6 million of
costs related to short-term leases, which are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
At December 31, 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 4.2 years and 4.8%,
respectively. At December 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 4.5 years and
5.0%, respectively.

On December 12, 2016, Teradyne completed a private offering of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior unsecured
notes (the “Notes”) due December 15, 2023 and received net proceeds, after issuance costs, of approximately $450.8 million, $33.0 million of which was
used to pay the net cost of the convertible note hedge transactions and $50.1 million of which was used to repurchase 2.0 million shares of Teradyne’s
common stock under its existing stock repurchase program from purchasers of the Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the
initial purchasers or its affiliates conducted concurrently with the pricing of the Note offering. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2023, unless earlier
repurchased or converted. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The
Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15,
2023, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter beginning after March 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if
the closing sale price of Teradyne’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days
ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
76
Table of Contents
(2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the
Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price
of the Teradyne’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; and (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after
September 15, 2023 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their
Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Teradyne may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering cash, shares of its
common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at Teradyne’s election. As of December 31, 2020, the conversion price was
approximately $31.56 per share of Teradyne’s common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. As of February 22,
2021, twenty-four holders had exercised the option to convert $51.0 million worth of notes.
Concurrent with the offering of the Notes, Teradyne entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with the initial
purchasers or their affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedge Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number
of shares of the common stock that underlie the Notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the Notes of $31.56. The Note Hedge Transactions
cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.6 million shares of Teradyne’s common stock.
Separately and concurrent with the pricing of the Notes, Teradyne entered into warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties (the “Warrant
Transactions”) in which it sold net-share-settled (or, at its election subject to certain conditions, cash-settled) warrants to the Option Counterparties. The
Warrant Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.6 million shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2020,
the strike price of the warrants was approximately $39.60 per share. The strike price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Warrant
Transactions could have a dilutive effect to Teradyne’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of Teradyne’s common stock, as measured
under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
The Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution to Teradyne’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes. However,
the Warrant Transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of Teradyne’s common stock exceeds the
applicable strike price of the warrant. The net cost of the Note Hedge Transactions, after being partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the warrants,
was approximately $33.0 million.
In connection with establishing their initial hedge of these convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the Option Counterparties have entered
into various derivative transactions with respect to Teradyne’s common stock and/or purchased shares of Teradyne’s common stock or other securities,
including the Notes, concurrent with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. In addition, the Option Counterparties may modify their hedge positions by
entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to Teradyne’s common stock or by selling Teradyne’s common stock or other
securities, including the Notes, in secondary market transactions (and may do so during any observation period related to the conversion of the Notes).
These activities could adversely affect the value of Teradyne’s common stock and the Notes.
Teradyne considered the guidance of ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and concluded that the convertible
note hedge is both indexed to Teradyne’s stock and should be classified in stockholders’ equity in its statements of financial position. The convertible note
hedge is considered indexed to Teradyne’s stock as the terms of the Note Hedge Transactions do not contain an exercise contingency and the settlement
amount equals the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of Teradyne’s shares and a fixed strike price. Because the only variable that can affect
the settlement amount is Teradyne’s stock price, which is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option contract, the convertible note hedge is
considered indexed to Teradyne’s stock.
77
Table of Contents
Teradyne assessed whether the convertible note hedge should be classified as equity under ASC 815-40. In the Note Hedge Transactions contract the
settlement terms permit net cash settlement or net share settlement, at the option of Teradyne. Therefore, the criteria as set forth in ASC 815-40 were
evaluated by Teradyne. In reviewing the criteria, Teradyne noted the following: (1) the convertible note hedge does not require Teradyne to issue shares;
(2) there is no requirement to net cash settle the convertible note hedge for failure to make timely filings with the SEC; (3) in the case of termination, the
convertible note hedge is settled in the same consideration as the holders of the underlying stock; (4) the counterparty does not have rights that rank higher
than those of a shareholder of the stock underlying the convertible note hedge; and (5) there is no requirement to post collateral. Based on its analysis of
those criteria, Teradyne concluded that the convertible note hedge should be recorded in equity and no further adjustment should be made in future periods
to adjust the value of the convertible note hedge.
Teradyne analyzed the Warrant Transactions under ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and other relevant
literature, and determined that it met the criteria for classification as an equity transaction and is considered indexed to Teradyne’s stock. As a result,
Teradyne recorded the proceeds from the warrants as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Teradyne does not recognize subsequent changes in fair value
of the warrants in its financial statements.
The provisions of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” are applicable to the Notes. ASC 470-20 requires Teradyne to separately
account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion feature) components of the Notes in a manner that reflects Teradyne’s nonconvertible debt borrowing
rate at the date of issuance when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. Teradyne allocated $100.8 million of the $460.0 million principal amount
of the Notes to the equity component, which represents a discount to the debt and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method
through December 2023. Accordingly, Teradyne’s effective annual interest rate on the Notes will be approximately 5.0%. The Notes are classified as long-
term debt on the balance sheet based on their December 15, 2023 maturity date. Debt issuance costs of approximately $7.2 million are being amortized to
interest expense using the effective interest method over the seven-year term of the Notes. As of December 31, 2020, debt issuance costs were
approximately $3.3 million.

As of December 31, 2020, the unamortized discount was $49.9 million, which will be amortized over three years using the effective interest rate
method. The carrying amount of the equity component was $100.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, the conversion price was approximately $31.56 per
share and if converted the value of the notes was $1,747.5 million.
As of December 31, 2020, certain holders have elected to convert approximately $37 million of debt principal. Conversions will occur in the first
quarter of 2021. The related liability component is included in current debt and the portion of the equity component is included in convertible common
shares.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 27, 2019, Teradyne terminated its credit agreement, which Teradyne entered into with Barclays Bank PLC on April 27, 2015. The terminated
credit agreement, which was undrawn at termination, provided for a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $350 million.
On May 1, 2020, Teradyne entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent,
and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 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 $150.0 million.
The interest rate applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are, at Teradyne’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to
1.25% per annum or LIBOR, a minimum of 0.75%, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% per annum, based on the consolidated leverage ratio of
Teradyne. In addition, Teradyne will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility ranging from 0.25% to
0.40% 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 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.
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.
As of December 31, 2020, Teradyne was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

L. 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 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 a quantitative 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 quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required. In performing the
quantitative goodwill impairment test, Teradyne determines the fair value of a reporting unit using the results derived from an income approach and a
market approach, weighting the fair value determined under each approach to determine an estimated fair value for a reporting unit. The income approach is
estimated through the discounted cash flows (“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. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, then the goodwill is written down by the amount
that carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, but not below zero.
On September 15, 2020, Teradyne announced the appointment of Gregory Smith as President of Teradyne’s Industrial Automation reportable segment
effective October 1, 2020. With the appointment of Gregory Smith, the Industrial Automation reportable segment, which includes UR, MiR and AutoGuide,
is considered one operating segment and one reporting unit. Teradyne performed a goodwill impairment test at the time of the change in operating segments,
which indicated the fair value of Teradyne’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Teradyne performed the annual
goodwill impairment test, completing a qualitative assessment for the Wireless Test, System Test, and Industrial Automation reporting units. There was no
impairment as a result of the annual test performed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Key assumptions in the goodwill valuation model are forecasted revenues,
discount rate, earnings before interest and taxes, and revenue multiples from comparable companies. A change in any of these key assumptions could result
in the reporting unit being impaired in a future period.
Based on Teradyne’s December 31, 2019 goodwill impairment test, the MiR reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 14%.
The MiR goodwill amount is $123.6 million as of December 31, 2019. Key assumptions in the goodwill valuation model are forecasted revenues, discount
rate, earnings before interest and taxes, and revenue multiples from comparable companies. A change in any of these key assumptions could result in the
reporting unit being impaired in a future period.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Teradyne performed the annual goodwill impairment test. Teradyne completed step one of the two-step impairment test
for the Universal Robots reporting unit. Teradyne completed step zero for the Wireless Test and Defense/Aerospace, MiR, and Energid reporting units.
There was no impairment as a result of the annual test performed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

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.
There were no events or circumstances indicating that the carrying value of intangible and long-lived assets may not be recoverable in 2020, 2019 and

M. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
As of December 31, 2020, Teradyne had entered into non-cancelable purchase commitments for certain components and materials. The purchase
commitments covered by the agreements aggregate to approximately $603.5 million, of which $592.1 million is for less than one year.
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 may enter 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.

Table of Contents
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 course of business, 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, the revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Related costs are expensed
as incurred. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, Teradyne had a product warranty accrual of $16.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, included in other
accrued liabilities, and revenue deferrals related to extended warranties of $51.9 million and $30.7 million, respectively, included in short and long-term
deferred revenue and customer advances.
In addition, 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, 2020, and 2019, except for product warranty, Teradyne has not recorded
any liabilities for these guarantees and obligations because the amount would be immaterial.

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 $31.56, multiplied by 14.6 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 $39.60, multiplied by 14.6 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.
The computation of diluted net income per common share for 2020 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock options to purchase
approximately 0.1 million shares and restricted stock units to purchase approximately 0.1 million shares because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted net income per common share for 2018 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of restricted stock units to purchase
approximately 0.5 million shares because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
O. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER
During the year ended December 31, 2020, Teradyne recorded a $19.7 million gain for the decrease in the fair value of the AutoGuide contingent
consideration liability, and a $3.5 million gain for the decrease in the fair value of the MiR contingent consideration liability, partially offset by a $4.0
million contract termination settlement charge, $2.5 million of acquisition related compensation and expenses, $2.3 million of severance charges primarily
in Industrial Automation, and $1.2 million of other expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, Teradyne recorded a $22.2 million gain for the decrease in the fair value of the MiR contingent
consideration liability, partially offset by a $3.0 million gain for the increase in the fair value of the AutoGuide contingent consideration, $2.9 million of
severance charges related to headcount reductions primarily in Semiconductor Test and Industrial Automation, and $2.5 million for acquisition related
expenses and compensation.
The remaining accrual for severance of $0.5 million is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings on the balance sheet and is
expected to be paid by March 2021.

P. 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 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 2020, Teradyne’s projected benefit obligations increased primarily due to actuarial losses of approximately $27.6 million across all pension plans
from decreases in discount rates, and approximately $4.0 million from unfavorable foreign exchange effects for the German plan, partially offset by a
transfer of obligations for approximately 115 retiree participants to an insurance company which resulted in a $24.4 million reduction in the projected
benefit obligations and pension assets. We also recorded a settlement loss of $0.5 million related to the retiree group annuity transaction. In 2019,
Teradyne’s projected benefit obligations increased primarily due to actuarial losses of approximately $29.0 million across all pension plans from decreases
in discount rates.

In developing the expected return on plan assets assumption, Teradyne evaluates input from its investment manager and pension consultants,
including their forecast of asset class return expectations. Teradyne believes that 3.0% was an appropriate rate to use for fiscal 2020 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.

Table of Contents
The discount rate utilized to determine future pension obligations for the U.S. Plan is based on FTSE Pension Index adjusted for the plan’s expected
cash flows and was 2.3% at December 31, 2020, down from 3.10% at December 31, 2019.
Plan Assets
As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of Teradyne’s pension plans’ assets totaled $160.7 million of which $158.9 million was related to the U.S.
Plan and $1.9 million was related to the Taiwan defined benefit pension plan. Substantially all of Teradyne’s pension plans’ assets are held in individual
trusts, which were established for the investment of assets of Teradyne’s sponsored retirement plans.

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 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:
U.S. corporate fixed income
Global equity
U.S. government fixed income
High yield 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.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no transfers of pension assets in or out of Level 1, Level 2, and
Level 3.

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 2020, Teradyne contributed $3.1 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and $1.1 million to certain
qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. During 2019, Teradyne contributed $2.8 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan
and $0.9 million to certain qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. In 2021, contributions to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan

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.

On July 17, 2019 (the “Retirement Date”), former Chief Financial Officer Gregory Beecher retired as Vice President and Senior Advisor of Teradyne,
and Teradyne entered into an agreement (the “Retirement Agreement”) with Mr. Beecher. Under the Retirement Agreement, Mr. Beecher’s unvested time-
based restricted stock units and stock options granted prior to 2019 were modified to allow continued vesting; unvested time-based restricted stock units and
stock options granted in 2019 were modified to allow continued vesting through January 31, 2023 (the “Non-Competition Period”) in a pro-rated amount
based on the number of days that Mr. Beecher was employed during 2019; unvested, performance-based restricted stock units awarded in 2019 will vest on
the date the amount of shares underlying the performance-based restricted stock units are determined in a pro-rated amount of shares based on the number of
days that Mr. Beecher was employed during 2019; vested options or options that vest during the Non-Competition Period may be exercised for the
remainder of the applicable option term. During 2019, Teradyne recorded a stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million related to the Retirement
Agreement.
Under Teradyne’s stock compensation plans, Teradyne grants time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, stock options
and employees are eligible to purchase Teradyne’s common stock through its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
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 earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the grant date or (b) the
date of the following year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 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.
Performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) granted to Teradyne’s executive officers may have a performance metric based on relative total
shareholder return (“TSR”). Teradyne’s three-year TSR performance is measured against the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Composite Index. The
final number of TSR PRSUs that vest will vary based upon the level of performance achieved from 200% to 0% of the target shares
capped at four times the grant date value for grants prior to 2019. The TSR PRSUs will vest upon the three-year anniversary of the grant date. 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 shorter of the three-
year service period or the period from the grant to the date described in the retirement provisions below. Compensation expense for executive officers
meeting the retirement provisions prior to the grant date is recognized during the year following the grant. 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
93
Table of Contents
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 below.
PRSUs granted to Teradyne’s executive officers may also have a performance metric based on three-year cumulative non-GAAP profit before interest
and tax (“PBIT”) as a percent of Teradyne’s revenue. Non-GAAP PBIT is a financial measure equal to GAAP income from operations less restructuring and
other, net; amortization of acquired intangible assets; acquisition and divestiture related charges or credits; pension actuarial gains and losses; non-cash
convertible debt interest expense; and other non-recurring gains and charges. The final number of PBIT PRSUs that vest will vary based upon the level of
performance achieved from 0% to 200% of the target shares. The PBIT PRSUs will vest upon the three-year anniversary of the grant date. Compensation
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the three-year service period or the period from the grant date to the date described in the
retirement provisions below. Compensation expense for employees meeting the retirement provisions prior to the grant date will be recognized in full on the
date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized based on the number of units that are earned based upon the three-year Teradyne PBIT as a percent of
Teradyne’s revenue, provided the executive officer remains an employee at the end of the three-year period subject to the retirement and termination
eligibility provisions noted below.
If a PRSU 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 all or a portion of 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.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no PRSUs will vest if the executive officer is no longer an employee at the end of the three-year period.
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.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, Teradyne granted 0.4 million, 0.8 million and 0.6 million of service-based restricted stock unit awards to employees at a
weighted average grant date fair value of $71.31, $37.65, and $45.92, respectively.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, Teradyne granted 0.1 million of service-based restricted stock unit awards to non-employee directors at a weighted
average grant date fair value of $66.56, $48.03, and $35.81, respectively.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, Teradyne granted 0.1 million TSR PRSUs, with a grant date fair value of $89.93, $51.51, and $54.85, respectively. The
fair value was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate

Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of Teradyne’s stock and the NYSE Composite Index for each of the 2020, 2019 and 2018
grants 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 each of
the grants. Dividend yield was based upon an estimated annual dividend amount of $0.40 per share for 2020 and $0.36 per share for 2019 and 2018, divided
by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant date of $72.10 for the 2020 grants, $37.95 for the 2019 grants and $47.70 for the 2018 grants.

During 2020, 2019 and 2018, Teradyne granted 0.1 million of PBIT PRSUs with a grant date fair value of $70.94, $36.88 and $46.62, respectively.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, Teradyne granted 0.1 million of service-based stock options to executive officers at a weighted average grant date fair
value of $20.93, $10.64, and $12.17, respectively.
The fair value of stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Teradyne determined the stock options’ expected life based upon historical exercise data for executive officers, the age of the executive officers and
the terms of the stock option grant. Volatility was determined using historical volatility for a period equal to the expected life. The risk-free interest rate was
determined using the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Dividend yield was based upon an estimated annual dividend amount of $0.40
per share divided by Teradyne’s stock price on the grant date of $72.61 for the 2020 grants, $37.95 for the 2019 grants and $47.70 for the 2018 grants.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the 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 2020, 0.2 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan during the first half of 2020 at the price of
$71.83 per share. In January 2021, Teradyne issued 0.1 million shares of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of
2020 at the price of $101.91 per share.
In July 2019, 0.3 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan during the first half of 2019 at the price of
$40.72 per share. In January 2020, Teradyne issued 0.2 million shares of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of
2019 at the price of $57.96 per share.
In July 2018, 0.3 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan during the first half of 2018 at the price of
$32.36 per share. In January 2019, Teradyne issued 0.4 million shares of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of
2018 at the price of $26.67 per share.

R. 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 2020, 2019 and 2018, 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 sponsors an unfunded U.S. Supplemental Savings Plan to provide savings benefits in excess of those allowed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. The provisions of this plan are the same as the Savings Plan. The liability for the
U.S. Supplemental Savings Plan at December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $38.0 million and $32.7 million, respectively, and is included in retirement plan
liabilities. Teradyne contributes to defined contributions savings plans for its foreign employees. Under Teradyne’s savings plans, amounts charged to the
statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were $21.7 million, $20.9 million, and $19.4 million, respectively.

Income tax expense for 2020, 2019 and 2018 totaled $116.9 million, $58.3 million, and $16.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2020,
2019 and 2018 was 13.0%, 11.1% and 3.4%, respectively.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Reform Act”), making significant changes to the Internal
Revenue Code. The Tax Reform Act has significant direct and indirect implications for accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Accounting for
Income Taxes” some of which could not be calculated with precision until further clarification and guidance was made available from tax authorities,
regulatory bodies or the FASB. In light of this uncertainty, on December 22, 2017 the SEC issued
98
Table of Contents
Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” to address uncertainty in the application
of U.S. GAAP when the registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to
complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. In accordance with SAB 118, Teradyne recorded $186.0 million of additional
income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 which represented Teradyne’s best estimate of the impact of the Tax Reform Act in accordance with
Teradyne’s understanding of the Tax Reform Act and available guidance as of that date. The $186.0 million was primarily composed of expense of $161.0
million related to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, $33.6 million of expense related to the
remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, and a benefit of $10.3
million associated with the impact of correlative adjustments on uncertain tax positions. In accordance with the requirements of SAB 118, in the fourth
quarter of 2018, Teradyne completed its analysis of the effect of the Tax Reform Act based on the application of the most recently available guidance as of
December 31, 2018 and recorded $49.5 million of net income tax benefit. The net benefit consisted of $51.7 million of benefit resulting from a reduction in
the estimate of the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and an expense of $2.2 million associated with the
impact of correlative adjustments on uncertain tax positions.
Teradyne has made an accounting policy election to account for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as a component of tax expense in the
period in which Teradyne is subject to the rules and therefore did not provide any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements.
The increase in the effective tax rate from 2019 to 2020 is primarily attributable to a reduction in the benefit from releases of reserves for uncertain
tax positions and a reduction in the benefit from foreign tax credits. These increases in expense were partially offset by a decrease in the transition tax on the
mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and shift in the geographic distribution of income, which increases the income subject to taxation in
lower tax rate jurisdictions relative to higher tax rate jurisdictions.
On July 27, 2015, in Altera Corp. (“Altera”) v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion invalidating the regulations relating to the
treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. A final decision was issued by the Tax Court in December
2015. The IRS appealed the decision in June 2016. On July 24, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (“Ninth Circuit”) issued a decision that
was subsequently withdrawn and a reconstituted panel conferred on the appeal. On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit upheld the cost-sharing regulations. On
November 12, 2019 the Ninth Circuit denied Altera’s petition for rehearing of its case. Altera’s application for certiorari to the Supreme Court was declined
on June 22, 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2020, Teradyne recognized tax expense of approximately $6.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively,
related to the inclusion of stock-based compensation in its intercompany cost-sharing arrangement.
The increase in the effective tax rate from 2018 to 2019 is primarily attributable to increases in expense associated with GILTI and the transition tax
on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. These increases in expense were partially offset by increased benefit from the U.S. foreign
derived intangible income deduction, foreign tax credits and a net reduction of reserves for uncertain tax positions.

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 Singapore tax holiday for the years ended
December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $29.9 million or $0.16 per diluted share, $15.1 million or $0.08 per diluted share and $11.9 million or $0.06 per
diluted share, respectively. In November 2020, 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, 2020. The new tax holiday is scheduled to expire
on December 31, 2025.
Significant components of Teradyne’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Teradyne evaluated the likelihood that it would realize 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, 2020 and 2019, Teradyne maintained a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets of $85.0 million and $77.2
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.
At December 31, 2020, Teradyne had operating loss carryforwards that expire in the following years:

Teradyne has approximately $116.3 million of tax credit carryforwards including federal business tax credits of approximately $1.9 million which
expire in 2028 through 2030, and state tax credits of $114.3 million, of which $63.8 million do not expire and the remainder expires in the years 2021
through 2040.
Teradyne’s gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
Beginning balance as of January 1
Additions:
Tax positions for current year
Tax positions for prior years
Reductions:

Current year additions relate to federal and state research credits. Prior year additions primarily relate to stock-based compensation. Prior year
reductions are primarily composed of federal and state reserves related to transfer pricing and research credits and resulted from the completion of the 2015
U.S. federal audit in the first quarter of 2019.
Of the $17.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, $12.0 million would impact the consolidated income tax rate if ultimately
recognized. The remaining $5.9 million would impact deferred taxes if recognized.
101
Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2020, Teradyne estimates that it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease approximately
$1.6 million in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of statutes of limitation. The estimated decrease relates to loss carryforwards, research credits
and U.S. manufacturing activities deductions.
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, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019
and 2018, benefit of $0.2 million, expense of $1.1 million and benefit of $0.1 million, respectively, was recorded for interest and penalties related to income
tax items.
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, 2020, all
material state and local income tax matters have been concluded through 2015, all material federal income tax matters have been concluded through 2016
and all material foreign income tax matters have been concluded through 2012. 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, 2020, Teradyne is not permanently reinvested with respect to the unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to the extent that
those earnings exceed local statutory and operational requirements. Remittance of those earnings is not expected to result in material income tax.
T. OPERATING SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Teradyne has four reportable segments (Semiconductor Test, System Test, Wireless Test and Industrial Automation). Each of the reportable segment
represents an individual operating segment. On September 15, 2020, Teradyne announced the appointment of Gregory Smith as President of Teradyne’s
Industrial Automation reportable segment effective October 1, 2020. With the appointment of Gregory Smith, the Industrial Automation reportable segment
is considered one operating segment and one reporting unit. 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 storage and system level test, defense/aerospace instrumentation 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 robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots and advanced robotic control software.
Teradyne evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income (loss) before income
taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note B: “Accounting Policies.”

Revenues attributable to a country are based on location of customer site.
In 2020, revenues from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd., a customer of Teradyne’s Semiconductor Test segment, accounted for
15% of Teradyne’s consolidated revenues. In 2019 and 2018, no single direct customer accounted for more than 10% of Teradyne’s consolidated revenues.
Teradyne estimates consolidated revenues driven by one OEM customer, combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s OSATs (which
include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.), accounted for approximately 25%, 10% and 13% of its consolidated revenues in 2020, 2019
and 2018, respectively. Teradyne

estimates consolidated revenues driven by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”), combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s
OSATs, accounted for approximately 3% and 11% of its consolidated revenues in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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, 2020 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
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,
2020.

Table of Contents
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 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.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Massachusetts Law and Provisions of our Charter Documents
Certain provisions in the Massachusetts General Laws, the Articles of Organization and the Bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of Teradyne, including:
Special Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the Chief Executive Officer, the President, by the
directors or by the Secretary, or in case of the death, absence, incapacity or refusal of the Secretary, by any other officer, upon written application of one
or more stockholders who hold at least a majority of the shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at such a meeting (or such lesser percentage in
interest as shall be the maximum percentage permitted under Massachusetts law).
Advance Notice Procedures. The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only
consider proposals or nominations specified in the written notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of
directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is
entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business
before the meeting, or pursuant to the proxy access nomination procedures in the Bylaws.
Proxy Access Nominations. Under the Bylaws, the Company will include in its proxy statement for an annual meeting the name, together with certain
other required information, of any person nominated for the election of to the board of directors in compliance with specified provisions in the Bylaws
by a single stockholder that satisfies (or by a group of no more than 20 stockholders that satisfy) various notice and other requirements specified in the
Bylaws. Among other requirements in the Bylaws, such stockholder or group of stockholders would need to provide evidence verifying that the
stockholder or group owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three years, at least 3% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the
Company. The Bylaws contain limitations on the maximum number of nominees submitted by stockholders that the Company would be required to
include in its proxy statement for an annual meeting.
1
Removal of Directors and Vacancies. The Bylaws provide that any director may be removed from office only (a) for cause as defined in the
Massachusetts General Laws and by the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares and entitled to vote in the election of directors or (b) for
cause by vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Vacancies and newly created directorships, whether resulting from an increase in the size of
the board of directors, from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a director or otherwise, shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the board of directors.
Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. Pursuant to the Articles of Organization and Bylaws, Teradyne shall indemnify, to the full extent
authorized by law, any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Teradyne or is or was serving, at the request of the
Teradyne, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another organization. The board of directors may, without stockholder approval, authorize
Teradyne to enter into agreements, including any amendments or modifications thereto, with any of its directors, officers, employees or other agents
providing for indemnification of such persons to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and Teradyne’s Articles of Organization and
Bylaws.
Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. The Massachusetts General Laws contain anti-takeover provisions regarding, among other things,
business combinations with an affiliated stockholder. In general, the Massachusetts General Laws prevent a publicly held Massachusetts corporation
from engaging in a business combination, as defined in the Massachusetts General Laws, with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after
the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
•
•
•
before the date on which the person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the
business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder;
the interested stockholder acquires at least 90% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time it becomes an interested
stockholder; or
the business combination is approved by the board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation voting at a meeting, excluding the voting stock owned by the interested stockholder.
An interested stockholder is generally a person owning 5% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. A business combination includes
mergers, consolidations, stock and asset sales and other transactions with the interested stockholder that result in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder.
Control Share Acquisitions. Teradyne has elected to opt out of the control share acquisitions provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws. Teradyne
could, however, opt into these control share acquisitions provisions at any time by amending our Bylaws.
In general, the control share acquisitions provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws provide that any person, including his, her or its affiliates, who
acquires shares of a corporation that are subject to the control share acquisitions statute and whose shares represent one-fifth or more, one-third or more,
or a majority or more of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors cannot exercise any voting power with respect to those shares, or
any shares acquired by the person within 90 days before or after an acquisition of this nature, unless these voting rights are authorized by the
stockholders of the corporation.
The authorization of voting rights requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares, excluding shares owned by:
•
•
•
the person making an acquisition of this nature;
any officer of the corporate; and
any employee who is also a director of the corporation.
There are several other types of share acquisitions that are not subject to these provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws, including acquisitions of
shares under a tender offer, merger or consolidation which is made in connection with an agreement to which the corporation is a party and acquisitions
of shares directly from the corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation.

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 for U.S.
Recipients (the “Notice of Grant”) attached hereto upon satisfaction of the terms set forth in these Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Terms for
U.S. Recipients (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 this Agreement, 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 the RSUs subject to this Award will be vested on the Effective Date. The number of RSUs that ultimately
may vest and, accordingly, the number of Actual Performance-Based Shares that may be issued to you is uncertain at the time of the grant but is
expected to be determined near the three-year anniversary of the grant date, 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 Award. The Performance Percentage shall be multiplied against the number of
Target Performance-Based Shares underlying the RSUs granted to you to derive the number of Actual Performance-Based Shares to be issued upon
settlement of the Award. Except as provided in (c) below, this Award shall vest with respect to one hundred percent 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 Award 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 portion 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, if different, the recipient’s
employer (the “Employer”) or any of the other Subsidiaries of Teradyne ends, regardless of the reason, provided, however, that if the recipient’s
employment or other business relationship with Teradyne, the Employer or one the Subsidiaries of Teradyne ends prior to the determination of the
Performance Percentage on account of (1) 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 underlying any Award granted at least 365 calendar days
prior to the 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 underlying any Award granted within 365 calendar days of the
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. Continued
vesting following retirement or termination, other than for cause, is subject to recipient’s continued compliance with any post-employment obligations to
Teradyne. If recipient violates any post-employment obligations, Teradyne shall be entitled to discontinue any continued vesting under this paragraph
and all equity granted under this Agreement that is unvested as of the date of the violation shall be forfeited.
The recipient’s employment or other business relationship shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide approved
leave of absence provided (i) that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days and is not a personal leave unless the personal leave is based on
recipient’s accrued, unused personal paid time-off benefits provided under a program sponsored by Teradyne, the Employer or any other Subsidiary of
Teradyne, (ii) the recipient’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute following the approved leave of absence, or (iii) the Committee has agreed
in writing that Teradyne, the Employer or any other Subsidiary of Teradyne is contractually obligated to continue the recipient’s employment or other
business relationship after the approved leave
2
of absence period. Notwithstanding the foregoing leave of absence provision, vesting of this Award shall continue during the period a recipient is
determined to be disabled under the Teradyne Short-Term Disability program and Long-Term Disability Plan, provided that such vesting shall cease
upon the earlier to occur of the recipient’s (A) termination of employment from Teradyne, the Employer or any other Subsidiary of Teradyne and (B) the
last day of the twenty-four (24) month period beginning on the date on which Long-Term Disability benefits commenced.
(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 60 days of the end of the Performance Period.
Teradyne will not be required to transfer or issue any shares upon vesting of the Actual Performance-Based Shares until arrangements 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. This Award and the recipient’s participation in the Plan shall not create any right of continued
employment or business relationship or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment contract or business relationship with Teradyne or its
Subsidiaries, and does not affect the right of the recipient, Teradyne or the Employer 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 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, 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 and/or the Employer, or
their respective agents, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares to be issued upon
settlement of the RSUs; provided, however, that the number of shares withheld will be determined using rates that do not exceed the maximum statutory
tax rates for the jurisdiction(s) applicable to the recipient. 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. Alternatively, a
recipient may elect to satisfy his or her obligations for Tax-Related Items by delivery of cash or check to Teradyne or the Employer. In the event that
withholding in shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences and the recipient does not
satisfy his or her obligations for Tax-Related Items by delivery of cash or check, the recipient (1) authorizes and directs Teradyne and any brokerage
firm
3
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 any applicable withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items; (2) authorizes
Teradyne or the Employer to withhold the Tax-Related Items from the recipient’s wages or other compensation; and (3) agrees, upon request from
Teradyne or the Employer, to make a cash payment in an amount equal to the withholding obligations for any Tax-Related Items. Teradyne may refuse
to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares if the recipient fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the
Tax-Related Items.
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. Teradyne intends that this Award will either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the regulations
and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be exempt from
Section 409A of the Code or in compliance therewith, as applicable. To the extent that Teradyne determines that the Award is subject to Section 409A of
the Code, but does not conform with Section 409A of the Code, 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; 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 of this 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.
4
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.
13. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The recipient acknowledges that, depending on the recipient’s or his or her broker’s
country of residence or where the shares of common stock are listed, the recipient may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws
which may affect the recipient’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of common stock, rights to shares of common stock (e.g.,
RSUs) or rights linked to the value of shares of common stock under the Plan during such times the recipient is considered to have “inside information”
regarding Teradyne (as defined by the laws or regulations in the recipient’s country). The recipient is responsible for ensuring compliance with any
restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
14. Recoupment. The recipient agrees that the RSUs and any financial gain realized by the recipient through settlement of the RSUs or sale of
any shares of common stock acquired shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company to the extent required to comply with any
applicable laws or the rules and regulations of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of common stock are listed
or quoted, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
(b) This Award vests yearly on the anniversary of the Effective Date. None of the RSUs subject to this Award will be vested on the
Effective Date. Except as provided in (c) below, 25% of the RSUs granted will vest on the first and each of the three subsequent anniversaries of the
Effective Date until the total grant is fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Committee shall have the right to accelerate the

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 ends, regardless of the reason, provided,
however, that if the recipient’s employment or other business relationship with Teradyne or, if different, the recipient’s employer (the “Employer”) or

rule stated in (b) above shall automatically become vested in full on the date of his or her termination of employment or business relationship on account
of death.
The recipient’s employment or other business relationship shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide
approved leave of absence provided (i) that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days and is not a personal leave unless the personal leave is

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 RSUs vest but, in any event, within 21⁄2 months following the calendar year in which the RSUs 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 RSUs until arrangements 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 RSUs and/or transfer 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.
17. Employment or Business Relationship. This Award and the recipient’s participation in the Plan shall not create any right of continued
employment or business relationship or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment contract or business relationship with Teradyne or its
Subsidiaries, and does not affect the right of the recipient, Teradyne or the Employer to terminate the recipient’s employment or a business relationship
at any time.
18. Tax Obligations.
(a) Responsibility for Taxes. The recipient acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Teradyne or 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, 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 and/or the Employer, or
their respective agents, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares to be issued upon
settlement of the RSUs; provided, however, that the number of shares withheld will be determined using rates that do not exceed the maximum statutory
tax rates for the jurisdiction(s) applicable to the recipient. 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. Alternatively, a
recipient may elect to satisfy his or her obligations for Tax-Related Items by delivery of cash or check to Teradyne or the Employer. In the event that
withholding in shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences and the recipient does not
satisfy his or her obligations for Tax-Related Items by delivery of cash or check, the recipient (1) 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 any applicable withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items; (2) authorizes
Teradyne or the Employer to withhold the Tax-Related Items from the recipient’s wages or other compensation; and (3) agrees, upon request from
Teradyne or the Employer, to make a cash payment in an amount equal to the withholding obligations for any Tax-Related Items. Teradyne may refuse
to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares if the recipient fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the
Tax-Related Items.
19. 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
3
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.
20. 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 of this 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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 should
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.
27. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The recipient acknowledges that, depending on the recipient’s or his or her broker’s
country of residence or where the shares of common stock are listed, the recipient may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws
which may affect the recipient’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of common stock, rights to shares of common stock (e.g.,
RSUs) or rights linked to the value of shares of common stock under the Plan during such times the recipient is considered to have “inside information”
regarding Teradyne (as defined by the laws or regulations in the recipient’s country). The recipient is responsible for ensuring compliance with any
restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
4
28. Recoupment. The recipient agrees that the RSUs and any financial gain realized by the recipient through settlement of the RSUs or sale of
any shares of common stock acquired shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company to the extent required to comply with any
applicable laws or the rules and regulations of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of common stock are listed
or quoted, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

STOCK OPTION TERMS FOR U.S. RECIPIENTS
Exhibit 10.11
1. Option Grant, Exercise and Vesting.
(f) Stock 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 for U.S. Recipients (the
“Notice of Grant”) attached hereto upon satisfaction of the terms set forth in these Stock Option Terms for U.S. Recipients (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 this Agreement, the Plan shall prevail. The terms governing this Award are intended to comply
with all applicable laws and regulations.
(g) 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.
(h) 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.
(i) The Stock Options 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, if different, the recipient’s employer (the “Employer”) or any
Subsidiary of Teradyne terminates for any reason except 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, the Employer or any Subsidiary of Teradyne ends on
account of 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 death and the vested portion of this Award
may be exercised in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Plan until the earlier of (1) the close of business at Teradyne’s headquarters on the date that is
one year subsequent to the recipient’s termination due to death or (2) the Option Expiration Date.
The recipient’s employment or other business relationship shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide
approved leave of absence provided (i) that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days and is not a personal leave unless the personal leave is
based on recipient’s accrued, unused personal paid time-off benefits provided under a program sponsored by Teradyne, the Employer or any other
Subsidiary of Teradyne, (ii) the recipient’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute following the approved leave of absence, or (iii) the
Committee has agreed in writing that Teradyne, the Employer or any other Subsidiary of Teradyne is contractually obligated to continue the recipient’s
employment or other business relationship after the approved leave of absence period. Notwithstanding the foregoing leave of absence provision,
vesting of this Award shall continue during the period a recipient is determined to be disabled under the Teradyne Short-Term Disability program and
Long-Term Disability Plan, provided that such vesting shall cease upon the earlier to occur of the recipient’s (A) termination of employment from
Teradyne, the Employer or any other Subsidiary of Teradyne and (B) the last day of the twenty-four (24) month period beginning on the date on which
Long-Term Disability benefits commenced.
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
exercise 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. This Award and the recipient’s participation in the Plan shall not create any right of continued
employment or business relationship or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment contract or business relationship with Teradyne or its
Subsidiaries, and does not affect the right of the recipient, Teradyne or the Employer 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 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, 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. In this regard, the recipient authorizes Teradyne and/or the
Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from
proceeds of the sale of shares acquired at exercise of the Stock Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by
Teradyne (on the recipient’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent. Teradyne may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by
considering maximum applicable rates, in which case the recipient will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no
entitlement to the common stock equivalent. Alternatively, the recipient may elect to satisfy the recipient’s obligations for Tax-Related Items 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 should
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.
14. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The recipient acknowledges that, depending on the recipient’s or his or her broker’s
country of residence or where the shares of common stock are listed, the recipient may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws
which may affect the recipient’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of common stock, rights to shares of common stock (e.g.,
Stock Options) or rights linked to the value of shares of common stock under the Plan during such times the recipient is considered to have “inside
information” regarding Teradyne (as defined by the laws or regulations in the recipient’s country). The recipient is responsible for ensuring compliance
with any restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
15. Recoupment. The recipient agrees that the Stock Option and any financial gain realized by the recipient through exercise of the Stock Option
or sale of any shares of common stock acquired shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company to the extent required to comply with any
applicable laws or the rules and regulations of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of common stock are listed
