Operator
Good morning. My name is Molly and I will be your conference operator today. At this time I would like to welcome everyone to the Q3 Teradyne Earnings Call. (Operator Instructions). Thank you. Mr. Blanchard, you may begin your conference.
Andy Blanchard
Thank you, Molly. Good morning, everyone and welcome to our discussion of Teradyne’s most recent financial results. I’m joined this morning by our Chief Executive Officer, Mike Bradley and our Chief Financial Officer, Greg Beecher. Following our opening remarks, we will provide details of our performance for the third quarter of 2009 as well as our outlook for the fourth quarter.
First, I would like to address several administrative issues. The press release containing our most recent financial results was sent out via Business Wire last evening. Copies are available on our website or by calling our Teradyne’s Corporate Relations office by 978-370-2221.
This call is being simultaneously webcast over our website at teradyne.com. Note that during this call, we are providing slides on the website that may be helpful to you in following the discussion. To view them, simply access the investor portion of our site and click on ‘Live Web Cast’ followed by ‘Click Here’ for webcast. In addition, replays of this call will be available via our website starting approximately 24 hours after the call ends. You will find it by going to teradyne.com and click on Investors. The replays will be available along with the slides through November 13, 2009.
The matters that we discuss today will include forward-looking statements that involve risk factors that could cause Teradyne’s results to differ materially from management’s current expectations. We encourage you to review the Safe Harbor statement contained in the earnings release as well as our most recent SEC filings for a complete description. Additionally, those forward-looking statements are made as of today and we do not take any obligation to update them as a result of developments occurring after this call.
