Based on the quoted closing price of Technoprobe stock as of June 28, 2026, the fair value of the publicly traded investment was $2,457.9 million.

Teradyne’s equity method basis difference was calculated as the difference between the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets acquired. The basis differences, net of tax, will be amortized over the estimated useful lives. Teradyne made an accounting policy election to report its share of Technoprobe’s results on a 3-month lag, which is applied consistently from period to period. Teradyne records its share of Technoprobe’s net income or loss and the amortization of equity method basis difference, as ‘Equity in net earnings of affiliate’ in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Teradyne includes its share of Technoprobe’s other comprehensive income and a cumulative translation adjustment in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
