What drove the revenue growth in the first quarter of 2018?

Revenue growth was primarily driven by increased sales in the Semiconductor Test segment, specifically in the flash memory test area, and higher demand for collaborative robotic arms in the Industrial Automation segment. System Test also saw a modest increase due to higher sales in Storage Test.

How did the company manage its cash during the quarter?

Teradyne experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $81.9 million from operating activities but generated significant cash from investing activities ($462.9 million) through the sale and maturity of marketable securities. Financing activities used $174.4 million, largely for share repurchases and dividend payments. The company ended the quarter with $637.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, indicating a strong liquidity position.

What are the key impacts of the new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606)?

Teradyne adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The adoption resulted in a net increase of $12.7 million to retained earnings. It has changed the timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts, particularly where acceptance was previously a condition for revenue recognition but is now considered a formality. This has also affected the presentation of revenue and related balance sheet accounts like accounts receivable and deferred revenue.

Can you elaborate on the acquisition of Mobile Industrial Robots ApS (MiR)?

Teradyne acquired MiR on April 25, 2018, for approximately $148 million (net of cash acquired), with potential additional payments up to $124 million tied to future performance targets. MiR is a leader in collaborative autonomous mobile robots and will be integrated into Teradyne's Industrial Automation segment, bolstering its offerings in this growing market.
