Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER):

Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER) reported revenue of $753 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 of which $561 million was in Semiconductor Test and $98 million in Robotics. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $146.3 million or $0.90 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne's net income in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $155.0 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, which excluded acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, amortization on our investment in Technoprobe, pension mark-to-market, and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

"Our Q4 results were toward the high end of our guidance range, driven by demand in our Semi Test business. For the quarter, AI compute and related memory remained strong while Mobile and Auto/Industrial exceeded our expectations," said Teradyne CEO, Greg Smith. "In 2025, we expect year-over-year revenue acceleration with improving conditions in our test businesses. We expect the secular growth opportunities in AI compute and memory to remain, and we will continue to invest into these areas. Additionally, we plan to strategically realign our Robotics business to enhance customer experience and drive operational efficiency. Over the mid-term, we expect that this realignment will support our growth and profitability objectives."

Guidance for the first quarter of 2025 is revenue of $660 million to $700 million, with GAAP net income of $0.48 to $0.59 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $0.58 to $0.68 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization, amortization on our investment in Technoprobe, restructuring and other costs, as well as the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

Note that the Semiconductor Test segment revenue includes the results of the Integrated Systems Test ("IST") component, with product lines for system level and hard disk drive testing, that was previously included in our System Test segment results. IST contributed $19 million to Semiconductor Test in the fourth quarter.
