• Revenue of $671 million in Q4'23, down 8% from Q4'22
• Revenue of $2,676 million in FY 2023, down 15% from FY 2022
• Record Robotics revenue in Q4'23, up 50% from Q3'23 and 17% from Q4'22

NORTH READING, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2024 / Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER) reported revenue of $671 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 of which $431 million was in Semiconductor Test, $86 million in System Test, $25 million in Wireless Test and $129 million in Robotics. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $117 million or $0.72 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Teradyne's net income in the fourth quarter was $127 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, which excluded pension actuarial losses, acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and other charges, and included the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.

"We closed out 2023 with Q4 revenue and profit in line with our guidance as strong demand for memory test systems and 50% quarterly growth of Robotics revenue offset weakening demand for System-on-a-Chip (SOC) test systems," said Teradyne CEO Greg Smith. "Looking into the new year, we expect low tester utilization will impact demand in the first half of the year but anticipate the full year Semiconductor test demand to incrementally improve from 2023. In Robotics, after expected seasonal weakness in Q1, we project consistent quarterly growth powered by new products, new applications and improvements in our global distribution channels."

Guidance for the first quarter of 2024 is revenue of $540 million to $590 million, with GAAP net income of $0.19 to $0.35 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $0.22 to $0.38 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance excludes acquired intangible asset amortization and includes the related tax impact on non-GAAP adjustments.
