TheCompany has five principal products; semiconductor test systems, backplaneconnection systems, circuit-board test systems, telecommunications test systems,and software test systems.

Semiconductor test systems are used by electronic component manufacturersin the design and testing of their products. Backplane connection systems areused principally for the computer, communications, and military/aerospaceindustries. A backplane is an assembly into which printed circuit boards areinserted that provides for the interconnection of electrical signals between thecircuit boards and the other elements of the system. Circuit-board test systemsare used by electronic equipment manufacturers for the design and testing of

Page 5: Investor Relations | Teradyne Inc.

circuit boards and other assemblies. Telecommunication test systems are used bytelephone operating companies for the testing and maintenance of theirsubscriber telephone lines and related equipment. Software test systems are usedby a number of industries to test communications networks, computerizedtelecommunication systems, and web based applications.

B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include theaccounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompanybalances and transactions have been eliminated. The year-end condensedconsolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements,but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accountingprinciples.

Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements areunaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consistingonly of normal recurring accrual entries) necessary for a fair statement of theresults for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of financialstatements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues andexpenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is recognized upon shipment. The Company's products aregenerally subject to warranty, and the Company provides for such estimated costswhen product revenue is recognized. The Company recognizes service revenue asthe services are provided or ratably over the period of the related contract, asapplicable. The Company unbundles service revenue from product sales andmaintenance services from software license fees based upon amounts charged whensuch elements are separately sold. For certain contracts eligible under AmericanInstitute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position No.81-1, revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion accounting methodbased upon an efforts-expended method. In all cases, changes to total estimatedcosts and anticipated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in whichdetermined.

Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income does not materially differ from net income for thethree and six month periods ended July 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999.

C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of theEffective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 137 amends SFAS No. 133,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which was issuedin June 1998 and was to be effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal yearsbeginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS No. 137 defers the effective date of SFASNo. 133 to the first quarter of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.Accordingly, the Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 133 for its 2001fiscal year. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recordedon the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value ofderivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensiveincome, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge

Page 6: Investor Relations | Teradyne Inc.

transaction and the type of hedge transaction. In June 2000, the FinancialAccounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial AccountingStandards ("SFAS") No.138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments andHedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No.133." SFAS No.138 amendsthe accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No.133 for certain derivativeinstruments and certain hedging activities. SFAS No.138 will be adoptedconcurrently with SFAS No.133. Management is currently evaluating the effects ofthis change on its recording of derivatives and hedging activities.

On June 26, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issuedStaff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101B which amended Question 2 of Section Bof Topic 13 of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series. SAB No. 101B delays theimplementation date of SAB No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"until the Company's fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2000. SAB No. 101summarizes the SEC's view in applying generally accepted accounting principlesto selected revenue recognition issues. The effects of applying the guidance inSAB No. 101, if any, will be reported as the cumulative effect adjustmentresulting from a change in accounting principle. The Company has not completedits evaluation of SAB 101 and is therefore unable to determine the impact theSAB will have on its financial statements.

Net income per common share - diluted ..................... $ 0.76 $ 0.20 $ 1.36 $ 0.30 ======== ======== ======== ========

For purposes of computing diluted earnings per share, weighted average commonshare equivalents do not include stock options with an exercise price thatexceeds the average fair market value of the Company's common stock during thethree and six month periods presented above. Options to purchase 68,300 and89,134 shares of common stock during the three months ended July 2, 2000 andJuly 4,1999 and 49,362 and 70,394 shares during the six months ended July 2,2000 and July 4, 1999 were outstanding during the periods then ended. Theseoptions were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per commonshare because the options' exercise price was greater than the average marketprice of the common shares during those periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company recorded record sales of $759.0 million in the second quarterof 2000, an increase of $358.1 million or 89% from the second quarter of 1999.Semiconductor test systems sales increased 103% from the second quarter of 1999due to increased orders resulting from capacity expansion by semiconductormanufacturers and subcontractors. Sales of backplane connection systems tounaffiliated customers increased 96% from the second quarter of 1999 as a resultof continued growth in demand from networking, data storage, and other hightechnology customers. Other test systems sales increased 7% from the secondquarter of 1999. The Company recorded sales of $1.41 billion in the first sixmonths of 2000, an increase of $661.7 million or 89% over the first six monthsof 1999. Semiconductor test systems sales and backplane connection systems salesto unaffiliated customers increased 115% and 72%, respectively, when compared tothe first six months of 1999. Other test systems sales for the first 6 months of2000 increased 6% over the corresponding period in 1999. Income before taxes inthe second quarter of 2000 increased $145.4 million from the second quarter of1999 to $196.6 million. For the first six months of 2000, income before taxesincreased $275.6 million to $352.4 million when compared to the first six monthsof 1999.

Incoming orders were $826.4 million in the second quarter of 2000 comparedto $571.0 million in the second quarter of 1999. The increase in incoming orderswas led by a 168% increase in backplane connection systems orders and a 20%increase in semiconductor test systems orders. For the six month periods endedJuly 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999, incoming orders were $1,850.6 million and$1,015.1 million, respectively. The increase in incoming orders was led by a143% increase in backplane connection systems orders and a 73% increase insemiconductor test systems orders. The Company's backlog was $1,423.0 million atthe end of the second quarter of 2000 compared with $849.5 million at the end ofthe second quarter of 1999.

Cost of sales decreased from 59% of sales in the second quarter of 1999 to53% of sales in the second quarter of 2000 and from 62% in the first six monthsof 1999 to 54% in the first six months of 2000. These percentage decreases wereprimarily attributable to increased utilization of the Company's manufacturingoverhead, as sales volume increased while certain components of cost of salesremained fixed.

Engineering and development expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreasedfrom 14% in the second quarter and first six months of 1999 to 10% in the secondquarter and first six months of 2000, while increasing by $16.8 million and$38.1 million, respectively. This spending growth was primarily due to increasedinvestments in new products in each operating segment.

from 15% in the second quarter and first six months of 1999 to 12% in the secondquarter and first six months of 2000, while increasing by $32.6 million and$57.1 million, respectively. This spending growth was due to higher compensationrelated expenses and spending in support of increased semiconductor testsystems, software test systems, and backplane connection systems sales.

Interest income increased by $2.4 million to $6.2 million in the secondquarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999 and by $3.6 million to$11.2 million in the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six monthsof 1999. These increases are attributable to increases in the Company's averageinvested balances.

The Company's overall effective tax rate was 30% in the second quarter of2000 and the first six months of 2000. The overall effective tax rate for theyear ended 1999 was also 30%. The Company utilized export sales corporationbenefits and certain research and development tax credits to operate below theU.S. statutory rate of 35%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balanceincreased $46.4 million in the first six months of 2000, to $433.8 million. TheCompany generated cash from operating activities of $184.5 million in the firstsix months of 2000 and $124.3 million in the six months of 1999. Cash generatedfrom net income, excluding the effects of non-cash items, was $299.5 million and$98.6 million for the first six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Changesin operating assets and liabilities used cash of $115.0 million in the first sixmonths of 2000 as a result of increases in working capital to support increasedsales. In the first six months of 1999, changes in operating assets andliabilities provided cash of $25.7 million.

The Company used $207.3 million of cash for investing activities in thefirst six months of 2000 and $151.6 million in the first six months of 1999.Investing activities consist of purchases, sales, and maturities of marketablesecurities and purchases of capital assets to support long-term growth. Capitalexpenditures were $142.8 million in the first six months of 2000 and $58.2million in the first six months of 1999.

Financing activities provided $4.7 million of cash during the first sixmonths of 2000. The Company used $15.0 million of cash for financing activitiesin the first six months of 1999. Financing activities include issuance of theCompany's common stock through employee stock option and stock purchase plans,repurchase of common stock through a stock buyback program and repayments ofdebt. During the first six months of 2000, net common stock activity providedcash of $4.8 million. During the first six months of 1999, net common stockactivity used cash of $14.0 million. Since 1996, the Company has used $439.6million of cash to repurchase 16.9 million shares of its common stock on theopen market.

The Company believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securitiesbalance of $433.8 million, together with other sources of funds, including cashflow generated from operations and the available borrowing capacity of $120.0million under its line of credit agreement, will be sufficient to meet workingcapital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

From time to time, information provided by the Company, statements made byits employees or information included in its filings with the Securities andExchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q and the Company's Annual Report toShareholders) contains statements that are not purely historical, so-called"forward looking statements," which involve risks and uncertainties. Inparticular, forward looking statements may include projections, plans, andobjectives for the Company's business, financial condition, operating results,future operations, future economic performance or statements relating to thesufficiency of capital to meet working capital and planned capital expenditures.The Company's actual future results may differ materially from those stated inany forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include,but are not limited to, the factors discussed below. These factors, and others,are discussed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities andExchange Commission, including in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K forthe year ended December 31, 1999.

Page 10: Investor Relations | Teradyne Inc.

The Company's future results are subject to substantial risks anduncertainties. The Company's business and results of operations depend insignificant part upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors,which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand forsemiconductors and products incorporating semiconductors. The semiconductorindustry has been highly cyclical with recurring periods of over supply, whichoften have had a severe effect on the semiconductor industry's demand for testequipment, including systems manufactured and marketed by the Company. TheCompany believes that the markets for newer generations of semiconductors alsowill be subject to similar fluctuations. There can be no assurance that anyincrease in semiconductor test systems bookings for a particular calendarquarter will be sustained in subsequent quarters. Any factor adversely affectingthe semiconductor industry or particular segments within the semiconductorindustry may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition andoperating results. In addition, the Company believes many of its semiconductortest systems customers place orders in anticipation of manufacturing theirproducts. If these customers manufacture fewer products than expected,

11

12

they may attempt to cancel their semiconductor test systems orders with theCompany. These cancellations could have a material adverse effect on theCompany's financial condition in future quarters. Finally, the Company has madesubstantial investments in fixed-cost infrastructure. If the semiconductorindustry experiences a downturn, the Company may have difficulty reducingexpenses in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on itsprofitability.

The Company recently has experienced record order backlog. If the Company isunable to timely manufacture products to fill these orders and meet customerexpectations, customers may cancel existing orders or fail to place new ordersin the future, which would have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues andresults of operations. Factors that affect the Company's ability to timely fillcustomer orders include: the availability of expanded manufacturing facilities;the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified manufacturing personnel tomeet anticipated manufacturing levels; the difficulties inherent inmanufacturing highly complex products that have only recently been introduced;and the availability of components, including semiconductor chips, which may bein short supply from time to time. In addition, the Company relies uponthird-party contract manufacturers for certain subsystems used in its products,and the Company's ability to meet customer orders for those products dependsupon the timeliness and quality of the work performed by these subcontractors,over whom the Company does not exercise any control.

The Company relies on certain intellectual property protections to preserveits intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, and tradesecrets. While the Company believes that its patents, copyrights, and tradesecrets have value, in general no single one is in itself essential. The Companybelieves that its technological position depends primarily on the technicalcompetence and creative ability of its research and development personnel. Fromtime to time the Company is notified that it may be in violation of patents heldby others. An assertion of patent infringement against the Company, ifsuccessful, could have a material adverse effect on the Company or could requirea lengthy and expensive defense which could adversely affect the Company'soperating results.

The development of new technologies, commercialization of thosetechnologies into products, and market acceptance and customer demand for thoseproducts is critical to the Company's success. Successful product developmentand introduction depends upon a number of factors, including the ability of theCompany to hire and retain qualified engineers, new product design, developmentof competitive products by competitors, timely and efficient completion ofproduct design, timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing andassembly processes and product performance at customer locations. The Company'sfailure to successfully develop, introduce and produce in commercial volume newor enhanced products, or failure of the market to accept these new or enhancedproducts could materially affect the Company's financial condition.

The Company faces substantial competition, throughout the world, in eachoperating segment. Some of these competitors have substantially greaterfinancial and other resources to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing

Page 11: Investor Relations | Teradyne Inc.

and distribution of their products. The Company also faces competition frominternal suppliers at several of its customers. Certain of the Company'scompetitors have introduced or announced new products with certain performancecharacteristics which may be considered equal or superior to those currentlyoffered by the Company. The Company expects its competitors to continue toimprove the performance of their current products and to introduce new productsor new technologies that provide improved cost of ownership and performancecharacteristics. New product introductions by competitors could cause a declinein sales or loss of market acceptance of the Company's existing products.Moreover, increased competitive pressure could lead to intensified price basedcompetition, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business,financial condition and results of operations.

The Company derives a significant portion of its total revenue fromcustomers outside the United States. International sales are subject tosignificant risks, including unexpected changes in legal and regulatoryrequirements and policy changes affecting the Company's markets, changes intariffs, exchange rates and other barriers, political and economic instability,difficulties in accounts receivable collection, difficulties in managingdistributors and representatives, difficulties in staffing and managinginternational operations, difficulties in protecting the Company's intellectualproperty and potentially adverse tax consequences.

The Company's semiconductor test systems operating segment generates asignificant portion of its revenue from customers operating in South Asiancountries and Taiwan. Although the economies of South Asian countries and Taiwanhave stabilized to some degree since mid fiscal 1998, if these economiesdeteriorate the negative economic developments would increase the likelihood ofeither a direct or indirect adverse impact on the Company's future operatingresults.

The Company's quarterly and annual operating results are affected by awide variety of factors that could materially adversely affect revenues andprofitability, including: competitive pressures on selling prices; the timingand cancellation of customer orders; changes in product mix; the Company'sability to introduce new products and technologies on a timely basis;introduction of products and technologies by the Company's competitors; marketacceptance of the Company's and its competitors' products; fulfilling backlog ona timely basis; reliance on sole source suppliers; potential retrofit costs; thelevel of orders received which can be shipped in a quarter; and the timing ofinvestments in engineering and development. As a result of the foregoing andother factors, the Company may experience material fluctuations in futureoperating results on a quarterly or annual basis which could materially andadversely affect its business, financial condition, operating results and stockprice.
