E. Financial Instruments and Derivatives

Cash Equivalents

Teradyne considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

Teradyne accounts for its investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320-10 requires that certain debt and equity securities be classified into one of three categories; trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities. As of April 3, 2016, Teradyne’s investments in debt and equity securities were classified as available-for-sale and recorded at their fair market value.

On a quarterly basis, Teradyne reviews its investments to identify and evaluate those that have an indication of a potential other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include:

•

The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

•

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and

•

The intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Teradyne uses the market and income approach techniques to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended April 3, 2016. As defined in ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets as of the reporting date;

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date. For example, a common approach for valuing fixed income securities is the use of matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices, and is considered a Level 2 input; or

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not supported by market data. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available, which might include Teradyne’s own data.

Teradyne’s available-for-sale debt and equity securities are classified as Level 1 and Level 2. Acquisition-related contingent consideration is classified as Level 3. Teradyne’s contingent consideration is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model or a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The majority of Level 2 securities are fixed income securities priced by third party pricing vendors. These pricing vendors utilize the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available, use other observable inputs like market transactions involving identical or comparable securities.

Realized gains recorded in the three months ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015 were $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Realized losses recorded in the three months ended April 3, 2016 were $0.2 million. There were no realized losses recorded in the three months ended April 5, 2015. Realized gains are included in interest income and realized losses are included in interest expense. Unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

During the three months ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 financial instruments.

The following table sets forth by fair value hierarchy Teradyne’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Changes in the fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration for the three months ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015 were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended
	April 3, 2016			April 5, 2015
	(in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	37,436		$	3,350
Payments (a)		(15,000	)		—
Fair value adjustment (b)		1,173			—

Balance at end of period	$	23,609		$	3,350

(a)	In the three months ended April 3, 2016, based on Universal Robots’ calendar year 2015 EBITDA results, Teradyne paid $15 million or 100% of the eligible EBITDA contingent consideration amount.

(b)	In the three months ended April 3, 2016, the fair value of contingent consideration for the earn-out in connection with the acquisition of Universal Robots was increased by $1.2 million primarily due to a lower discount rate.

The following table provides quantitative information associated with the fair value measurement of Teradyne’s Level 3 financial instruments:


Liability	April 3, 2016 Fair Value	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Weighted Average
	(in thousands)
Contingent consideration (Universal Robots)	$16,349	Monte Carlo Simulation	Revenue for the period July 1, 2015—December 31, 2017 volatility		15.4	%
	$16,349	Monte Carlo Simulation	Discount Rate		4.7	%


	$6,760	Monte Carlo Simulation	Revenue for the period July 1, 2015—December 31, 2018 volatility		15.4	%
			Discount Rate		4.7	%

Contingent consideration (AIT)	$500	Income approach- discounted cash flow	Revenue for calendar year 2016 probability Discount rate		48 4.7	% %

As of April 3, 2016, the significant unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation to fair value the Universal Robots contingent consideration include forecasted revenue, revenue volatility and discount rate. Increases or decreases in the inputs would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. The maximum payment for each of the two Universal Robots revenue earn-outs is $25.0 million.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the Avionics Interface Technology, LLC (“AIT”) fair value measurement of contingent consideration are the probabilities of successful achievement of calendar year 2016 revenue threshold and target, and a discount rate. Increases or decreases in the revenue probabilities would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. The maximum payment for the AIT earn-out is $1.1 million.

The carrying amounts and fair values of Teradyne’s financial instruments at April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

Derivatives

Teradyne conducts business in a number of foreign countries, with certain transactions denominated in local currencies. The purpose of Teradyne’s foreign currency management is to minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Teradyne does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

To minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, Teradyne enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded directly in earnings, and is used to offset the change in value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts was $138.5 million and $114.1 million at April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding contracts was a loss of $0.2 million and $0.0 million at April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

For the three months ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015, Teradyne recorded net realized losses of $3.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts hedging net monetary positions. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities are included in other (income) expense, net.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments at April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
