| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation Our fiscal years are based on a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in December. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 27, 2014 has been derived from our audited financial statements at that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2015 (also referred to as “the first quarter of fiscal 2015” and “the first three months of fiscal 2015”) and March 29, 2014 (also referred to as “the first quarter of fiscal 2014” and “the first three months of fiscal 2014”) are unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring items) necessary to provide a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The first quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were each comprised of 13 weeks. Our interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for the full year. For a better understanding of Cohu, Inc. and our financial statements, we recommend reading these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 27, 2014, which are included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the following notes to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, Cohu, Inc. is referred to as “Cohu”, “we”, “our” and “us”. Reclassifications We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the financial position or results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. Risks and Uncertainties We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may significantly impact our future operating results. These risks and uncertainties are discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in this Form 10-Q. Understanding these risks and uncertainties is integral to the review of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Discontinued Operations On June 6, 2014 we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of our video camera segment, Cohu Electronics, and its operating results are being presented as discontinued operations and all prior period amounts have been reclassified accordingly. See Note 2, “Disposal of Video Camera Segment” for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts herein relate to continuing operations. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. We invest in a variety of financial instruments and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure with any one issuer. Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million and $0.3 million at March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. Our customers include semiconductor manufacturers and semiconductor test subcontractors and other customers located throughout many areas of the world. While we believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate and represents our best estimate at March 28, 2015, we will continue to monitor customer liquidity and other economic conditions, which may result in changes to our estimates regarding collectability. Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units primarily using the income approach valuation methodology that includes the discounted cash flow method, taking into consideration the market approach and certain market multiples as a validation of the values derived using the discounted cash flow methodology. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on customer forecasts, industry trade organization data and general economic conditions.
We conduct our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1st of each year. As of October 1, 2014, we concluded there was no impairment as the estimated fair values of our semiconductor equipment and microwave communications reporting units exceeded their carrying values by approximately 35% and 17%, respectively. Subsequent to our annual goodwill impairment test, in the fourth quarter of 2014, we determined an interim analysis was required and as of December 27, 2014 concluded that the fair market value of our microwave communications reporting unit goodwill was lower than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $5.0 million, comprised of $3.1 million of goodwill, and $1.9 million other assets in the fourth quarter of 2014. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. We measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the assets carrying amount and estimated fair value. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, except for nonmonetary assets, such as inventories and property, plant and equipment, which are translated using historical exchange rates. Revenues and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period, except for costs related to those balance sheet items that are translated using historical exchange rates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency and, as a result, their assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. During the first quarter of 2015 strengthening of the U.S. dollar, against primarily the Swiss Franc and Euro resulted in approximately $0.2 million of gains being recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2015. Gains and losses were not significant in any other period presented. Cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Share-Based Compensation We measure and recognize all share-based compensation under the fair value method. Our estimate of share-based compensation expense requires a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns (expected life of the options), future forfeitures and related tax effects. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, changes in assumptions could materially impact our reported financial results. Reported share-based compensation is classified, in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as follows (in thousands):
Income (Loss) Per Share Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the per share computations due to their anti-dilutive effect. For purposes of computing diluted income per share, stock options with exercise prices that exceed the average fair market value of our common stock for the period are excluded. The following table reconciles the denominators used in computing basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands):
Cohu has utilized the “control number” concept in the computation of diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income/loss from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing diluted earnings per share from continuing operations be applied to all other categories of income or loss, regardless of their anti-dilutive effect on such categories. Therefore, no dilutive effect has been recognized in the calculation of income from discontinued operations per share for the three months ended March 29, 2014. Revenue Recognition Our revenue recognition policy is disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2014. As more fully described in that policy, revenue from products that have not previously satisfied customer acceptance requirements is recognized upon customer acceptance. The gross profit on sales that are not recognized is generally recorded as deferred profit and reflected as a current liability in our consolidated balance sheet. At March 28, 2015, we had deferred revenue totaling approximately $12.0 million and deferred profit of $7.7 million. At December 27, 2014, we had deferred revenue totaling approximately $11.3 million and deferred profit of $7.4 million. The periodic increase is primarily a result of deferrals of revenue associated with shipments of semiconductor equipment. Comprehensive Loss Our accumulated other comprehensive loss balance totaled approximately $19.1 million and $10.7 million at March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively, and was attributed to all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity and consists of, on an after-tax basis where applicable, foreign currency adjustments resulting from the translation of certain of our subsidiary accounts where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar and adjustments related to postretirement benefits. Reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income during the three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were not significant. Retiree Medical Benefits We provide post-retirement health benefits to certain executives and directors under a noncontributory plan. The net periodic benefit cost incurred during the three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 was not significant. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity, which amends the existing definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The guidance redefines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components of an entity that has been disposed of by sale or other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The guidance was effective prospectively for disposals or components classified as held for sale in periods on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. Cohu elected to implement this new guidance in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The amended guidance outlines a single comprehensive revenue model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt the guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB agreed to propose a one-year deferral of the revenue recognition standard’s effective date for all entities, which would change the effectiveness to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our financial statements and have not yet determined which transition method we will utilize upon adoption. In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on going concern, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-04, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, to provide a practical expedient for the measurement date of defined benefit plan assets and obligations. The practical expedient allows employers with fiscal year-end dates that do not fall on a calendar month-end (e.g., companies with a 52/53-week fiscal year) to measure pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and obligations as of the calendar month-end date closest to the fiscal year-end. The FASB also provided a similar practical expedient for interim remeasurements for significant events. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

| Disposal of Video Camera Segment |
In June 2014, we sold substantially all the assets of our video camera segment, Cohu Electronics for $9.5 million in cash and $0.5 million in contingent consideration. Our decision to sell Cohu Electronics resulted from management’s determination that this industry segment was no longer a strategic fit within our organization. Operating results of our discontinued video camera segment is summarized as follows (in thousands):
In connection with the sale of the assets of our video camera segment we incurred divestiture-related costs that would not have been incurred otherwise. These costs consist of legal advisory services, success based compensation arrangements and certain other items that are incremental to normal operating charges and were expensed as incurred. In the first three months of 2014 we incurred $0.1 million of divestiture related costs included above in the loss on disposal. |

| Geographic Consolidation |
In May 2014, our wholly owned subsidiary Broadcast Microwave Services, Inc. (“BMS”) implemented a geographic consolidation plan to relocate the manufacturing, engineering and administrative functions of its German operation to its headquarters facility in Poway, California. The consolidation plan was substantially complete in September 2014 and for the three-month period ended March 28, 2015, BMS recorded charges to selling, general and administrative totaling $24,000 for severance and one-time termination benefits. There were no costs associated with this geographic consolidation plan in the first quarter of 2014. The following table reconciles amounts accrued and paid under the consolidation plan (in thousands):

| Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value |
Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments consisted primarily of cash and other investment grade securities. We do not hold investment securities for trading purposes. All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk and we monitor credit risk and attempt to mitigate exposure by making high-quality investments and through investment diversification. Gains and losses on investments are calculated using the specific-identification method and are recognized during the period in which the investment is sold or when an investment experiences an other-than-temporary decline in value. Factors that could indicate an impairment exists include, but are not limited to: earnings performance, changes in credit rating or adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Gross realized gains and losses on sales of short-term investments are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses for the periods presented were not significant. Investments that we have classified as short-term, by security type, are as follows (in thousands):
Effective maturities of short-term investments are as follows (in thousands):
Our municipal securities include variable rate demand notes which can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week and have varying contractual maturities through 2034. These securities can be used for short-term liquidity needs and are held for limited periods of time. At March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014 these securities had amortized cost and fair value of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in “Due in one year or less” in the table above. Accounting standards pertaining to fair value measurements establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. When available, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our investments, and they are included in Level 1. When quoted market prices are unobservable, we use quotes from independent pricing vendors based on recent trading activity and other relevant information, and they are included in Level 2.
The following table summarizes, by major security type, our assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

| Employee Stock Benefit Plans |
Our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan is a broad-based, long-term retention program intended to attract, motivate, and retain talented employees as well as align stockholder and employee interests. Awards that may be granted under the program include, but are not limited to, non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based stock units. We settle employee stock option exercises, ESPP purchases, and the vesting of restricted stock units, and performance-based stock units with newly issued common shares. At March 28, 2015, there were 591,373 shares available for future equity grants under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. Stock Options Stock options may be granted to employees, consultants and directors to purchase a fixed number of shares of our common stock. The exercise prices of options granted are at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the dates of grant and options generally vest and become exercisable after one year or in four annual increments beginning one year after the date of grant. Stock options granted under the program have a maximum contractual term of ten years. At March 28, 2015, we had 2,268,229 stock options outstanding. These options had a weighted-average exercise price of $11.31 per share, an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $3.0 million and the weighted average remaining contractual term was approximately 5.2 years. At March 28, 2015, we had 1,917,729 stock options outstanding that were exercisable. These options had a weighted-average exercise price of $11.53 per share, an aggregate intrinsic value of $2.6 million and the weighted average remaining contractual term was approximately 4.7 years. Restricted Stock Units We issue restricted stock units to certain employees, consultants and directors. Restricted stock units vest over either a one-year or a four-year period from the date of grant. Prior to vesting, restricted stock units do not have dividend equivalent rights, do not have voting rights and the shares underlying the restricted stock units are not considered issued and outstanding. For the three months ended March 28, 2015, we awarded restricted stock units covering 435,601 shares of our common stock to employees and at March 28, 2015, we had 1,169,719 restricted stock units outstanding with an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $12.9 million and the weighted average remaining vesting period was approximately 1.9 years.
Equity-Based Performance Stock Units In March 2012, we began granting equity-based performance units covering shares of our common stock to certain employees. The number of shares of stock ultimately issued will depend upon the extent to which certain financial performance goals set by our Board of Directors are met during the one-year award measurement period. Based upon the level of achievement of performance goals the number of shares we ultimately issue can range from 0% up to 150% of the number of shares under each grant which vest over 3 years from the date of initial grant. In 2014, we began awarding equity-based performance stock units to senior executives with vesting that is contingent on the level of achievement of certain performance goals, market return and continued service (“market-based PSUs”) and in 2015, the market-based PSUs granted are only subject to certain adjustments resulting from performance of Cohu’s Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) to a selected peer group over a two-year measurement period following the date of grant based on the percentage by which our TSR exceeds or falls below the selected peer group. Market-based PSUs earned will vest at the rate of 50% on the second and third anniversary of their grant. We estimated the fair value of market-based PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the measurement period of each vesting tranche. We record a provision for equity-based performance units outstanding based on our current assessment of achievement of the performance goals. New shares of our common stock will be issued on the date the equity-based performance units vest. For the three months ended March 28, 2015, we awarded 148,370 market-based performance stock units to senior executives, and at March 28, 2015, we had 404,867 PSUs and market based PSUs outstanding with an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $4.5 million and the weighted average remaining vesting period was approximately 1.8 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) The Cohu, Inc. 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“the Plan”) provides for the issuance of shares of our common stock. Under the Plan, eligible employees may purchase shares of Cohu common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of Cohu common stock at the beginning or end of each 6-month purchase period, subject to certain limits. During the three-month period ended March 28, 2015, we did not sell any shares to our employees under the Plan and we have 183,591 shares available for future issuance. |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |||
| Income Taxes |
Ordinarily, interim tax provisions are calculated using the estimated effective tax rate (“ETR”) expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. However, when a reliable estimate of the annual ETR cannot be made, the actual ETR for the year-to-date period may be the best estimate of the annual ETR. For the three months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 we used the actual year-to-date ETR in computing our tax provision or benefit, as a reliable estimate of the annual ETR cannot be made, since relatively small changes in our projected income or loss produce a significant variation in our ETR. The actual year-to-date ETR on loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, was (61.3)% and 1.6%, respectively. The tax provision or benefit on loss from continuing operations in 2015 and 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the inability to benefit our domestic losses as a result of our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, foreign income taxed at lower rates, changes in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, state taxes and changes and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. There was no material change to our unrecognized tax benefits and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 28, 2015. |

Our reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. As discussed in Note 2, in June 2014, we sold substantially all the assets of Cohu Electronics, which comprised our video camera segment and have presented financial information for this segment as discontinued operations. Subsequent to this transaction Cohu’s remaining reportable segments are semiconductor and microwave communications equipment. We allocate resources and evaluate the performance of segments based on profit or loss from operations, excluding interest, corporate expenses and unusual gains or losses. Intersegment sales were not significant for any period.
Financial information by industry segment is as follows (in thousands):

| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Our fiscal years are based on a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in December. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 27, 2014 has been derived from our audited financial statements at that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2015 (also referred to as “the first quarter of fiscal 2015” and “the first three months of fiscal 2015”) and March 29, 2014 (also referred to as “the first quarter of fiscal 2014” and “the first three months of fiscal 2014”) are unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring items) necessary to provide a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The first quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were each comprised of 13 weeks. Our interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for the full year. For a better understanding of Cohu, Inc. and our financial statements, we recommend reading these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 27, 2014, which are included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the following notes to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, Cohu, Inc. is referred to as “Cohu”, “we”, “our” and “us”. |

| Reclassifications | Reclassifications We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the financial position or results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may significantly impact our future operating results. These risks and uncertainties are discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in this Form 10-Q. Understanding these risks and uncertainties is integral to the review of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. |

| Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations On June 6, 2014 we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of our video camera segment, Cohu Electronics, and its operating results are being presented as discontinued operations and all prior period amounts have been reclassified accordingly. See Note 2, “Disposal of Video Camera Segment” for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts herein relate to continuing operations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. We invest in a variety of financial instruments and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure with any one issuer. Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million and $0.3 million at March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. Our customers include semiconductor manufacturers and semiconductor test subcontractors and other customers located throughout many areas of the world. While we believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate and represents our best estimate at March 28, 2015, we will continue to monitor customer liquidity and other economic conditions, which may result in changes to our estimates regarding collectability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets | Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units primarily using the income approach valuation methodology that includes the discounted cash flow method, taking into consideration the market approach and certain market multiples as a validation of the values derived using the discounted cash flow methodology. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on customer forecasts, industry trade organization data and general economic conditions.
We conduct our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1st of each year. As of October 1, 2014, we concluded there was no impairment as the estimated fair values of our semiconductor equipment and microwave communications reporting units exceeded their carrying values by approximately 35% and 17%, respectively. Subsequent to our annual goodwill impairment test, in the fourth quarter of 2014, we determined an interim analysis was required and as of December 27, 2014 concluded that the fair market value of our microwave communications reporting unit goodwill was lower than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $5.0 million, comprised of $3.1 million of goodwill, and $1.9 million other assets in the fourth quarter of 2014. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. We measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the assets carrying amount and estimated fair value. |

| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, except for nonmonetary assets, such as inventories and property, plant and equipment, which are translated using historical exchange rates. Revenues and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period, except for costs related to those balance sheet items that are translated using historical exchange rates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency and, as a result, their assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. During the first quarter of 2015 strengthening of the U.S. dollar, against primarily the Swiss Franc and Euro resulted in approximately $0.2 million of gains being recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2015. Gains and losses were not significant in any other period presented. Cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. |

| Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation We measure and recognize all share-based compensation under the fair value method. Our estimate of share-based compensation expense requires a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns (expected life of the options), future forfeitures and related tax effects. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, changes in assumptions could materially impact our reported financial results. Reported share-based compensation is classified, in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as follows (in thousands):

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income (Loss) Per Share | Income (Loss) Per Share Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the per share computations due to their anti-dilutive effect. For purposes of computing diluted income per share, stock options with exercise prices that exceed the average fair market value of our common stock for the period are excluded. The following table reconciles the denominators used in computing basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands):
Cohu has utilized the “control number” concept in the computation of diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income/loss from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing diluted earnings per share from continuing operations be applied to all other categories of income or loss, regardless of their anti-dilutive effect on such categories. Therefore, no dilutive effect has been recognized in the calculation of income from discontinued operations per share for the three months ended March 29, 2014. |

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Our revenue recognition policy is disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2014. As more fully described in that policy, revenue from products that have not previously satisfied customer acceptance requirements is recognized upon customer acceptance. The gross profit on sales that are not recognized is generally recorded as deferred profit and reflected as a current liability in our consolidated balance sheet. At March 28, 2015, we had deferred revenue totaling approximately $12.0 million and deferred profit of $7.7 million. At December 27, 2014, we had deferred revenue totaling approximately $11.3 million and deferred profit of $7.4 million. The periodic increase is primarily a result of deferrals of revenue associated with shipments of semiconductor equipment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Our accumulated other comprehensive loss balance totaled approximately $19.1 million and $10.7 million at March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively, and was attributed to all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity and consists of, on an after-tax basis where applicable, foreign currency adjustments resulting from the translation of certain of our subsidiary accounts where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar and adjustments related to postretirement benefits. Reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income during the three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were not significant. |

| Retiree Medical Benefits | Retiree Medical Benefits We provide post-retirement health benefits to certain executives and directors under a noncontributory plan. The net periodic benefit cost incurred during the three months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 was not significant. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity, which amends the existing definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The guidance redefines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components of an entity that has been disposed of by sale or other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The guidance was effective prospectively for disposals or components classified as held for sale in periods on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. Cohu elected to implement this new guidance in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The amended guidance outlines a single comprehensive revenue model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt the guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB agreed to propose a one-year deferral of the revenue recognition standard’s effective date for all entities, which would change the effectiveness to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our financial statements and have not yet determined which transition method we will utilize upon adoption. In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on going concern, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-04, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, to provide a practical expedient for the measurement date of defined benefit plan assets and obligations. The practical expedient allows employers with fiscal year-end dates that do not fall on a calendar month-end (e.g., companies with a 52/53-week fiscal year) to measure pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and obligations as of the calendar month-end date closest to the fiscal year-end. The FASB also provided a similar practical expedient for interim remeasurements for significant events. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

| Industry Segments | Our reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. As discussed in Note 2, in June 2014, we sold substantially all the assets of Cohu Electronics, which comprised our video camera segment and have presented financial information for this segment as discontinued operations. Subsequent to this transaction Cohu’s remaining reportable segments are semiconductor and microwave communications equipment. We allocate resources and evaluate the performance of segments based on profit or loss from operations, excluding interest, corporate expenses and unusual gains or losses. Intersegment sales were not significant for any period. |
