Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts, so called forward looking statements, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Teradynes filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). See also Item 2: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCertain Factors That May Affect Future Results and Teradynes Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
B. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of such interim financial statements. Certain prior years amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The December 31, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Teradynes Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

C. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Teradyne is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.
D. Product Warranty
Teradyne generally provides a one-year warranty on its products commencing upon installation or shipment. A provision is recorded upon revenue recognition to cost of revenues for estimated warranty expense based on historical experience. Related costs are charged to the warranty accrual as incurred. The balance below is included in other accrued liabilities (in thousands).

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three months ended April 1, 2007 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 18.8 million shares and restricted stock units of 0.4 million shares because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended April 2, 2006 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 17.0 million shares because the option price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Diluted loss per common share for the three months ended April 2, 2006 also excludes 11.3 million shares related to Teradynes convertible notes outstanding because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
I. Restructuring and Other, Net
The tables below represent activity related to restructuring and other, net, in the three months ended April 1, 2007. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out approximately $2.2 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Teradynes future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $11.9 million as of April 1, 2007.

J. Stock Repurchase Program
In July 2006, Teradynes Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, Teradyne may spend up to an aggregate of $400 million to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or through other appropriate means over the next two years. Shares are to be repurchased at Teradynes discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. During the three months ended April 1, 2007, Teradyne repurchased 0.2 million shares of common stock for $3.6 million at an average price of $15.07. The cumulative repurchases as of April 1, 2007 total 10.8 million shares of common stock for $141.3 million at an average price of $13.03.

K. Technology Acquisition
On March 7, 2007, Teradyne purchased in-process enabling test technology and hired certain engineers from MOSAID Technologies Inc. for $17.6 million, which includes $0.6 million in fees directly related to the acquisition. Of the purchase price, $16.7 million has been allocated to in-process research and development and therefore has been immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.
This technology will be used in the development of a new semiconductor test product. As of the acquisition date, the technology had not reached technical feasibility, had no alternative future use and its fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability, and therefore has been classified as in-process research and development. The technology is unique to the semiconductor test market and requires significant development. The estimated fair value of the in-process technology was determined based on the use of a discounted cash flow model using an income approach. Estimated cash flows were probability adjusted to take into account the stage of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization of the in-process technology. Such a valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process project as well as the estimated cash flows to be generated as a result of completing the project development.
L. Retirement 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. Teradynes 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 the plans consist primarily of equity and fixed income 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 and the Internal Revenue Code, as well as unfunded foreign plans.
Components of net periodic pension cost for all plans for the three months ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

Postretirement Benefit Plans
In addition to receiving pension benefits, Teradynes U.S. employees who meet specific retirement eligibility requirements as of their termination dates may participate in Teradynes Welfare Plan, which includes death benefits, and 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 Teradynes current U.S. employees could become eligible for these benefits, and the existing benefit obligation relates primarily to those employees.

M. Income Taxes
Teradyne adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 applies to all income tax positions accounted for under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. FIN 48 also addressed other aspects of reporting and disclosing uncertain tax positions. Upon adoption, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate by $2.5 million. It is anticipated that within the next twelve months, $2.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption will no longer be considered unrecognized tax benefits due to audit settlements. Upon adoption and as of the end of this three-month reporting period, Teradyne has open tax years beginning in 2003 for major jurisdictions including U.S., Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom. 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 upon adoption and recognized during the three months ended April 1, 2007 was not material.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Due to the continued uncertainty of realization, Teradyne maintained its valuation allowance at April 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Teradyne does not expect to significantly reduce its valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists, including sustained profitability, that realization is more likely than not.
N. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Claims
On September 5, 2001, after Teradynes August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc., the former owners of those companies filed a complaint against Teradyne and two of its then executive officers in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California, asserting securities fraud and breach of contract related to the acquisition. Pursuant to motions filed by Teradyne and by the plaintiffs, the District Court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs claims, granted partial summary judgment against them with respect to their breach of contract claim and denied their motion for reconsideration. The only claim that remained before the District Court from the original complaint related to an allegation of fraud in connection with the setting of the transaction price. On December 27, 2004, the plaintiffs voluntarily stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice of their remaining claim in the District Court, without having received any payment or other consideration from Teradyne. On February 2, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the District Courts prior orders. The appeal is now pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
In 2001, Teradyne was designated as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arose out of its acquisition of Perception Laminates in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated October 20, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates has ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. Teradyne has asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.
In 2006, Teradyne received a general notice letter form the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which informed Teradyne that the EPA believes Teradyne is a de minimis PRP with respect to the Casmalia Disposal Site in California. Teradyne is currently waiting for further details from the EPA regarding the terms of the de minimis settlement offer that it expects to receive.
Teradyne believes that it has meritorious defenses against the above unsettled claims and intends to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of the unsettled claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the losses associated with all of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its consolidated results of operations of any one period.
In addition, 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. Although there can be no assurance, there are no such matters pending that Teradyne expects to be material with respect to its business, financial position or results of operations.
O. Segment Information
Teradyne has three reportable segments and four operating segments. The three reportable segments are the design, manufacturing and marketing of Semiconductor Test Systems, Assembly Test Systems, and Other Test Systems. Diagnostic Solutions and Broadband Test Systems are combined as Other Test Systems. These reportable segments were determined based upon the information reviewed and used by the chief operating decision makers.

The Semiconductor Test Systems orders decreased 34% driven by less demand across a wide range of end markets, applications and geographies. The Semiconductor Test Systems business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for test equipment, which historically has been highly cyclical.
The Assembly Test Systems decrease in orders from 2006 to 2007 was primarily due to reduced Mil/Aero program-related bookings.
The decrease in Other Test Systems orders resulted from a decrease in Diagnostic Solutions offset by an increase in orders in Broadband Test Systems. Other Test Systems bookings are program related and have significant fluctuations.

Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without significant notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. In the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, there were no significant cancellation penalties received. Due to possible changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in delivery schedules and/or cancellations of backlog during any particular period could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Percent of Total Revenue |

Gross margins as a percentage of revenue decreased from 2006 to 2007 by 2.2 percentage points. After excluding the inventory provision of $8.0 million taken in the first quarter of 2006 related to non-FLEX products in the Semiconductor Test Systems segment, the gross margin as a percentage of revenue decrease is 4.4 percentage points. This decrease is due primarily to the reduced volume of Semiconductor Test System product sales.
We assess the carrying value of our inventory on a quarterly basis by estimating future demand and comparing that demand against on-hand and on-order inventory provisions. Forecasted revenue information is obtained from the sales and marketing groups and incorporates factors such as backlog and future revenue demand. This quarterly process identifies obsolete and excess inventory. Obsolete inventory, which represents items for which there is no demand, is fully reserved. Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are not expected to be consumed during the next four quarters, is written down to estimated net realizable value.
The provisions for excess and obsolete inventory were $0.5 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, respectively. During the three months ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, we scrapped $5.5 million and $7.5 million of inventory, respectively. As of April 1, 2007, we have inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off totaling $134.3 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

| $0.9 million due to foreign exchange. |
In-process Research and Development
On March 7, 2007, we purchased in-process enabling test technology and hired certain engineers from MOSAID Technologies Inc. for $17.6 million, which includes $0.6 million in fees directly related to the acquisition. Of the purchase price, $16.7 million has been allocated to in-process research and development and therefore has been immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.
This technology will be used in the development of a new semiconductor test product. As of the acquisition date, the technology had not reached technical feasibility, had no alternative future use and its fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability, and therefore has been classified as in-process research and development. The technology is unique to the semiconductor test market and requires significant development. The estimated fair value of the in-process technology was determined based on the use of a discounted cash flow model using an income approach. Estimated cash flows were probability adjusted to take into account the stage of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization of the in-process technology. Such a valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process project as well as the estimated cash flows to be generated as a result of completing the project development.
Restructuring and Other, Net
The tables below represent activity related to restructuring and other, net, in the three months ended April 1, 2007. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. We expect to pay out approximately $2.2 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $11.9 million as of April 1, 2007.

Interest Income and Expense
Interest income increased to $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2007 from $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2006, due primarily to higher interest rates. Interest expense decreased to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2006, due primarily to the repayment of our 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Income Taxes
The tax expense of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2007 consists of U.S. Federal Alternative Minimum tax as well as provisions for foreign taxes. As a result of incurring significant operating losses from 2001 through 2003, we determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets may not be realized, and since the
21
fourth quarter of 2002 we have established a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets. If we generate sustained future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion or all of the valuation allowance would be reversed. If the valuation allowance were reversed, a portion would be recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital, and the remainder would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance decreased $60.8 million in the first three months of 2007, to $883.8 million. Cash activity for the first three months of 2007 and 2006 was as follows (in millions):

Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $66.3 million in the first three months of 2007 due primarily to a decrease in accrued expenses. Accrued employees compensation and withholdings had a decrease of $31.5 million due to employee compensation accruals which are paid out at the beginning of the year, and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $33.4 million for taxes paid primarily in foreign jurisdictions. Accounts receivable increased $10.5 million, primarily in the Semiconductor Test Systems segment, due to an increase in days sales outstanding from 55 days as of December 31, 2006 to 60 days as of April 1, 2007. Inventory decreased $20.6 million in the first three months of 2007 primarily in our Semiconductor Test Systems segment and to a lesser extent in the Assembly Test Systems segment. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $6.8 million in the first three months of 2006, primarily due to a $20 million contribution to Teradynes U.S. Qualified Pension Plan.
Investing activities consist of purchases of capital assets, the acquisition of technology for $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 as well as the purchase, sale and maturity of marketable securities. Capital expenditures decreased by $3.5 million in the first three months of 2007 compared to the first three months of 2006 primarily in the Semiconductor Test Systems segment.
Financing activities represent the sale of our common stock, repurchases of our common stock and payments on our convertible senior notes and other debt. During the three months ended April 1, 2007, we repurchased 0.2 million shares of our common stock for $3.6 million at an average price of $15.07. During the three months ended April 2, 2006, we repurchased $15 million of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance of $883.8 million will be sufficient to meet working capital and expenditure needs for at least the foreseeable future. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

Equity Compensation Plans
In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in Note O: Stock Based Compensation in our 2006 Form 10-K, we have a 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the 2006 Equity Plan), a cash and equity compensation incentive plan.
The purpose of the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees of Teradyne. The purpose of the 2006 Equity Plan is to provide equity ownership and compensation opportunities in Teradyne to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and/or advisors. Both plans were approved by our shareholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 applies to all income tax positions accounted for under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. FIN 48 also addressed other aspects of reporting and disclosing uncertain tax positions. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Teradyne is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results
From time to time, information we provide, statements made by our employees or information included in our filings with the SEC (including this Form 10-Q) contain statements that are not purely historical, but are forward looking statements, made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), which involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, forward looking statements made herein include projections, plans and objectives for our business, financial condition, operating results, future operations, or future economic performance, statements relating to the sufficiency of capital to meet working capital requirements, capital expenditures, including future lease payments and commitments and contributions to our pension plan, expectations as to customer orders and demand for our products and statements relating to backlog, bookings and cancellations, gross margins and pricing considerations. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, which could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to the following:
| we are subject to intense competition; |
| our business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for electronics, which historically has been highly cyclical; |
| our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly; |
| we are subject to risks of operating internationally; |
| 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; |
| if our suppliers do not meet product or delivery requirements, we could have reduced revenues and earnings; |
| our operations may be adversely impacted if our outsourced service providers fail to perform; |
23
| we have significant guarantees and indemnification obligations; |
| we have taken measures to ensure that we are prepared to address slowdowns in the market for our products, which could have long-term negative effects on our business or impact our ability to adequately address a rapid increase in customer demand; |
| we may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with environmental regulations; |
| we currently are and in the future may be subject to litigation that could have an adverse effect on our business; |
| if we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a valuable asset or may incur costly litigation to protect our rights; |
| our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees; |
| we may incur higher tax rates than we expect; |
| our business is impacted by worldwide economic cycles, which are difficult to predict; |
| acts of war, terrorist attacks and the threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks may adversely impact our business; |
| provisions of our charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult; and |
| we may acquire new businesses or form strategic alliances in the future, and we may not realize the benefits of such acquisitions. |
These factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk affecting Teradyne, see Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those set forth in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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 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 SECs rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
On September 5, 2001, after our August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc., the former owners of those companies filed a complaint against Teradyne and two of our then executive officers in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California, asserting securities fraud and breach of contract related to the acquisition. Pursuant to motions filed by Teradyne and by the plaintiffs, the District Court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs claims, granted partial summary judgment against them with respect to their breach of contract claim and denied their motion for reconsideration. The only claim that remained before the District Court from the original complaint related to an allegation of fraud in connection with the setting of the transaction price. On December 27, 2004, the plaintiffs voluntarily stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice of their remaining claim in the District Court, without having received any payment or other consideration from Teradyne. On February 2, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the District Courts prior orders. The appeal is now pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
In 2001, we were designated as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arose out of our acquisition of Perception Laminates in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated October 20, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates has ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. We have asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.
In 2006, we received a general notice letter form the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which informed us that the EPA believes we are a de minimis PRP with respect to the Casmalia Disposal Site in California. We are currently waiting for further details from the EPA regarding the terms of the de minimis settlement offer that we expect to receive.
We believe that we have meritorious defenses against the above unsettled claims and intend to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of the unsettled claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, we believe the losses associated with all of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to our consolidated results of operations of any one period.
In addition, 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. Although there can be no assurance, there are no such matters pending that we expect to be material with respect to our business, financial position or results of operations.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
