Operating Segment, Geographic and Significant Customer Information
R.    OPERATING SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Teradyne has four reportable segments (Semiconductor Test, System Test, Industrial Automation and Wireless Test). Each of the Semiconductor Test, System Test, and Wireless Test segments is also an individual operating segment. The Industrial Automation reportable segment consists of operating segments with discrete financial information, which have been combined into one reportable segment as they share similar economic characteristics, types of products, production processes, distribution channels, and currency risks. 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 robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots and advanced robotic control software. The Wireless Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of wireless test products and services.
Teradyne evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income (loss) before income taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note B: “Accounting Policies.”

Revenues attributable to a country are based on location of customer site.
In 2018, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total consolidated revenue. In 2017 and 2016, one customer of Teradyne’s Semiconductor Test segment accounted for 13 % and 12%,  respectively, of total consolidated revenues. In 2016, a different customer of Teradyne’s Semiconductor Test segment accounted for 12% of total consolidated revenues. Teradyne estimates
 consolidated revenues
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 13%, 22%, and 26% of Teradyne’s consolidated revenues in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
