“Capital equipment providers in the electronics, semiconductor industries and robotics, such as Teradyne, have, in the past, been negatively impacted by both sudden slowdowns in the global economies and recurring cyclicality within those industries. These cycles, which can be driven by broad changes to Semiconductor buying patterns, or to specific markets within the Semiconductor industry, have resulted in periods of over-supply; a trend we believe will continue to occur. Our business and results of operations depend, in significant part, upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors, electronics, and other industrial products, which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand for those products.”

“The global supply shortage of electrical components, including semiconductor chips, impacted our supply chain in 2023. As a result, we experienced and may experience in the future, increases in our lead times and costs for certain components for certain products. We may also experience delays in the delivery of some orders placed by our customers.”
