Long-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Teradyne Inc., long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-10-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-02), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-10-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-04), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-04-04), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-29).
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio exhibited a rising trend from March 2020 through December 2021, increasing from 7.54 to a peak of 9.56. Subsequently, a steady decline took place from early 2022 through March 2024, falling to 5.81. This indicates an initial improvement in the efficiency of fixed asset utilization, followed by a gradual reduction in asset turnover efficiency over the latter periods.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- A similar pattern is observed in the net fixed asset turnover including operating lease and right-of-use assets. The ratio steadily increased from 6.41 in March 2020 to a high of 8.12 in December 2021, followed by a decline to 5.00 by March 2024. This suggests that while the inclusion of leased assets initially supported asset turnover growth, efficiency diminished in recent periods.
- Total Asset Turnover
- Total asset turnover fluctuated modestly over the entire timeframe. It started at 0.89 in March 2020, decreased slightly to 0.85 by December 2020, then rose to just above 1.00 in April and October 2022, indicating a peak in asset utilization efficiency. However, from late 2022 onwards, it decreased steadily, ending at 0.78 by March 2024. Overall, total asset turnover indicates moderate asset utilization, with a peak in 2022 followed by a gradual decline.
- Equity Turnover
- The equity turnover ratio showed a continuous and steady decline across the entire period. Beginning at 1.62 in March 2020, it dropped consistently to reach 1.04 by March 2024. This steady reduction suggests a decreasing efficiency in utilizing shareholders' equity to generate sales over the years analyzed.

- Revenues
- The revenue figures display notable fluctuations over the observed periods. Initially, revenues increased from approximately $704 million in March 2020 to peak at around $1.09 billion in July 2021. Post this peak, a general declining trend is evident, with revenues decreasing steadily to about $600 million by March 2024. Occasional increases during this decline, such as from April 2022 to July 2022, indicate some short-term recoveries, but the overall trajectory from mid-2021 onward is downward.
- Property, plant and equipment, net (PP&E)
- The net value of property, plant, and equipment exhibits consistent growth throughout the periods. Starting at approximately $332 million in March 2020, PP&E increases incrementally each quarter, reaching about $457 million by March 2024. This steady accumulation of fixed assets suggests ongoing investment in physical capital over time.
- Net fixed asset turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio demonstrates a declining trend. It starts at a ratio of approximately 7.54 in March 2020, peaks at around 9.56 in December 2021, and then shows a consistent decrease to about 5.81 by March 2024. The initial rise indicates improving efficiency in generating sales from fixed assets up to the end of 2021, followed by a pronounced reduction in this efficiency.
- Overall Analysis
- The combination of increasing PP&E alongside decreasing revenues in the later periods results in the declining net fixed asset turnover ratio. This suggests that while investments in fixed assets continued, these assets generated progressively less revenue. The pattern points to a potential reduction in asset utilization efficiency or changing market conditions affecting sales performance. The decline in revenues after mid-2021 may reflect external pressures or internal challenges that impact business volume or pricing. Continuous capital investment despite falling revenue could indicate a strategic approach to capacity expansion or upgrade, although the effectiveness of these investments may warrant further examination.

- Revenue Trends
- Revenues show considerable fluctuation over the observed quarters. There is an initial increase from March 2020 through July 2021, peaking at 1,085,728 thousand US dollars in the second quarter of 2021. Following this peak, revenues generally decline, with notable downward movements after December 2021. The latest quarter, ending March 2024, records the lowest revenue since early 2020, at 599,819 thousand US dollars, indicating a sustained decrease in recent periods.
- Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E) Trends
- The net value of property, plant, and equipment, including operating lease right-of-use assets, demonstrates a steady upward trajectory throughout the period. Starting from 391,049 thousand US dollars in March 2020, this asset base grows consistently each quarter, reaching 531,873 thousand US dollars by March 2024. This indicates ongoing investment or capital expenditure in fixed assets over time.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency of asset utilization in generating revenue, initially improves from 6.41 in March 2020 to a high of 8.12 in December 2021. This suggests enhanced productivity of fixed assets during this period. However, from early 2022 onward, there is a clear and steady decline in this ratio, falling to 5.00 by March 2024. This decline corresponds with decreasing revenue despite increasing asset base, implying reduced efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate sales.
- Overall Insights
- The data depict a period of strong growth in both revenues and asset utilization efficiency up to late 2021, followed by a notable downturn in revenue and a declining asset turnover ratio. Meanwhile, the fixed asset base continuously expands, suggesting persistent investment despite weaker revenue performance. The combination of rising assets and falling asset turnover ratio may indicate underutilization or inefficiencies in recent quarters. The downward revenue trend raises concerns about market conditions or demand challenges faced by the company in the most recent periods.

The analysis of the financial data reveals several key trends in the company’s operational and asset management performance over the specified periods.
- Revenues
- Revenues display noticeable volatility throughout the periods under review. Beginning at approximately 704 million US dollars, revenues increased significantly to a peak of around 1.09 billion US dollars by mid-2021, indicating a strong growth phase. Following this peak, a general declining trend is evident, with revenues decreasing steadily to below 600 million US dollars by the end of the first quarter of 2024. This downward trend suggests challenges in maintaining revenue growth or market demand pressures during the latter periods.
- Total Assets
- Total assets show an overall upward trend from about 2.82 billion US dollars to over 3.7 billion US dollars within the period ending late 2021, reflecting asset base expansion. After reaching this higher level, total assets fluctuate moderately around the 3.3 to 3.5 billion US dollars range until the first quarter of 2024. The relatively stable asset base after the initial growth phase may indicate a period of consolidation or cautious capital investment.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio starts at 0.89 and experiences slight fluctuations, with values ranging mostly between 0.77 and 1.02. The highest turnover ratios occur around early to mid-2022, suggesting relatively efficient use of assets to generate revenues during that timeframe. However, a clear declining trend is observable in the most recent quarters, dropping below 0.8 by the first quarter of 2024, which may signal a reduction in asset utilization efficiency or slower revenue generation relative to the asset base.
Overall, the data presents a scenario where the company initially expanded both its asset base and revenues, reaching peak operational scale by mid-2021. Following this peak, revenues and asset turnover ratios have declined, while total assets have remained relatively stable. This pattern may reflect market challenges, operational inefficiencies, or conservative financial management in response to changing external conditions.

- Revenues
- Revenues demonstrate a fluctuation pattern with peaks and troughs across the periods. Initially, there was notable growth from the first quarter of 2020 through mid-2021, reaching a high point in the quarter ending July 2021. After this peak, revenues declined somewhat but remained elevated until the first quarter of 2022. Subsequently, revenues experienced a downward trend with some modest recovery in mid-2023, followed by another decrease towards the first quarter of 2024. Overall, the revenue trend shows cyclical behavior with significant peaks around mid-2021 and mid-2022 and a gradual decline towards early 2024.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders' equity displays a general upward trend over the full period, increasing steadily from the beginning of 2020 through early 2024. This trend suggests consistent accumulation of equity, possibly through retained earnings or capital increases. Some minor fluctuations are present, particularly in 2022 where equity slightly decreased before resuming growth again in late 2022 and continuing through early 2024. The consistent rise in equity indicates strengthening of the company's financial foundation over time.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover ratio shows a declining trend throughout the entire timeline. Starting from 1.62 in early 2020, the ratio steadily decreases to 1.04 by the first quarter of 2024. This decrease implies a reduction in operational efficiency with respect to the utilization of shareholders' equity to generate revenues. The steady decline suggests that although equity base is increasing, the generation of revenues per unit of equity has weakened over time.
