Operating Segment, Geographic and Significant Customer Information

R.    OPERATING SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Teradyne has four operating segments (Semiconductor Test, System Test, Industrial Automation, and Wireless Test), which are its reportable segments. The Semiconductor Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of semiconductor test products and services. The System Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of products and services for defense/aerospace instrumentation test, storage test and circuit-board test. The Industrial Automation segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of collaborative robots. The Wireless Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of wireless test products and services. Each operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with Teradyne’s chief operating decision maker (Teradyne’s chief executive officer) to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, and plans for the segment.

Teradyne evaluates performance using several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income (loss) from operations before taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note B: “Accounting Policies.”

 

Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 is as follows:

(1) Revenues attributable to a country are based on location of customer site.

In 2017 and 2016, one customer of Teradyne’s Semiconductor Test segment accounted for 13% and 12 %, respectively, of total consolidated revenues. In 2016 and 2015, a different customer of Teradyne’s Semiconductor Test segment accounted for 12% and 13%, respectively, of total consolidated revenues. Teradyne estimates product demand driven by a single OEM customer, combining direct sales to that customer with sales to the customer’s outsourced semiconductor assembly and test providers (“OSATs”), accounted for approximately 22%, 26%, and 23% of Teradyne’s consolidated revenues in 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
