You can identify these forward-looking statements based on the context of the statements and by the fact that they use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements are based on the current assumptions and expectations of Teradyne’s management and are neither promises nor guarantees of future performance, future events, future payment of dividends, future repurchases of common stock or future availability of, or borrowing under, a credit facility.

Additionally, the current dividend and share repurchase programs may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Important factors that could cause actual results, dividend payments, repurchases of common stock or borrowings under the credit facility to differ materially from those presently expected include: conditions affecting the markets in which Teradyne operates; decreased or delayed product demand; increased research and development spending; deterioration of Teradyne’s financial condition; the business judgment of the board of directors that a declaration of a dividend, the repurchase of common stock or debt under the credit facility is not in the company’s best interests; and other events, factors and risks disclosed in filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, the “Risk Factors” section of Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
