"On balance, we are encouraged by our results in the quarter," said George Chamillard, Teradyne Chairman and CEO. "Our orders improved, and our new products are gaining momentum. The third quarter marked our eighth successive period of increasing orders and our book-to-bill ratio was greater than 1.0 for the first time in three years. In addition, we made progress lowering costs during the quarter, enabling us to continue on the path to profitability.
“On balance, we are encouraged by our results in the quarter”
"Therefore, in the fourth quarter, we are projecting sales to be between $335 to $340 million, and break-even results, on a pro forma, operating basis."
Conference Call/Webcast
Teradyne will be conducting its conference call tomorrow, October 15, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. E.D.T. The call will be webcast at www.teradyne.com (click on "Investors"). A replay will be available via phone starting at Noon E.D.T. and continuing through October 29, 2003. The replay may be accessed by calling 1-800-642-1687 in the US and Canada, or 706-645-9291 outside the US and Canada, and providing conference code 3087243, or by visiting www.teradyne.com and clicking on "Investors" for a link to the replay. In our earnings release, conference call and webcast, we may use or discuss pro forma, or non-GAAP , financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure used or discussed (if available) and a reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure can be found on the Teradyne website at www.teradyne.com, by clicking on "Investors" and then selecting the GAAP Reconciliation link.
Pro Forma Results
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, Teradyne also discloses pro forma or non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain charges. Teradyne reports pro forma results in order to better assess and reflect operating performance. These results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the pro forma measure helps indicate underlying trends in Teradyne's business, and management uses pro forma measures to plan and forecast future periods, and to establish operational goals.
Earnings guidance is provided only on a pro forma basis due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure. Although Teradyne expects certain known charges, such as some amount of severance due to workforce reductions, other additional charges excluded from the pro forma measure are dependent on numerous presently unknown factors. For example, further goodwill or real estate impairment charges are dependent upon future market conditions and valuations that are not presently determinable.
Pro forma information is not determined using GAAP and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for GAAP measures or data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement
Some statements in this release are forward-looking statements made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions established by securities legislation, and are based on the assumptions and expectations of Teradyne's management at the time such statements are made. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that could cause Teradyne's financial results to differ materially from our expectations. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our revenue and profit and loss expectations, our future business strategies and market opportunities, improvements in our business, backlog and design-ins, demand for our products and the general economic outlook. Among the factors that could cause results to differ from expectations are the following: recurrent downturn or slower recovery in market demand for electronics (including especially the markets for semiconductor and telecommunications equipment) which has been affected by the economic slowdown that began in 2000; uncertainty and adverse changes in general economies worldwide; geopolitical turmoil or the threat of terrorist attacks; uncertainty regarding the future growth rate of worldwide economies, which has caused many companies to reduce or delay capital investment; technological and market changes; Teradyne's ability to protect its intellectual property; the historically cyclical nature of the markets that Teradyne serves; new product development and delays; uncertainty of customer acceptance of new orders; decisions by customers to cancel or defer orders that previously had been accepted; the presence of intense competition throughout the world in each of our operating segments from substantial competitors; the effectiveness of our implementation of cost cutting and expense control measures, including facility consolidations, employee reductions, the centralization of certain shared services, seeking lower prices from suppliers and the outsourcing of selected manufacturing and engineering activities; the possibility of intense price competition and the resulting prospect of having to lower our prices and therefore possibly our revenue; the impact of and our ability to manage the effects of past or future acquisitions or divestitures; the class action securities litigation brought against Teradyne; the increase in our debt service obligations and debt to capital ratio resulting from our issuance of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes in 2001; the availability of additional financing; the impact of being required to account for stock options as an expense; the ability to attract and retain key employees; the risks of potential environmental liability; the risks of operating internationally which include political and economic instability and unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements and in policy changes affecting international markets; and other events, factors and risks previously and from time to time disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, Teradyne's annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Teradyne assumes no obligation to update the information in this press release.

charges for workforce reduction are included in the Restructuring
and Other Charges line on the GAAP Operating Statement.
(3) The mortgage prepayment and other charge of $5.0 million for the

The other gain of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2002
consists of a $7.1 million gain from the repayment of a loan to a
divested entity previously valued at zero, offset to a lesser
extent by an other-than-temporary impairment of a common stock
investment of $3.1 million and a writedown of a mortgage loan to
an engineering services provider of $2.3 million. The gain is
included on the Other and Interest line on the GAAP Operating
Statement.
(4) The $1.5 million charge for accelerated depreciation in the third
quarter of 2003 relates to the incremental additional depreciation
over the normal depreciation expense for long-lived assets as a

Administrative.
(5) The $1.3 million inventory provision recovery in the third quarter
of 2003 relates to inventory sold which had been reserved for in

Division related to the Westford, MA facility move to North

due to changes in the assumed amount and timing of sublease income
on facilities that have been exited prior to the end of the lease
term for the Semiconductor Test Division, Circuit Board Test and
Inspection Division, and Connection Systems Division. The charge
is included in the Restructuring and Other Charges line on the
GAAP Operating Statement. The facility closure charge of $44.4
million in the first nine months of 2002 consists of the
following:
