TI reports financial results for 4Q10 and 2010
Conference call on TI website at 4:30 p.m. Central time today

DALLAS (Jan. 24, 2011) – Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced fourth-quarter revenue of $3.53 billion, net income of $942 million and earnings per share of 78 cents. Earnings per share included 14 cents from the combination of the gain on the sale of a product line and a tax benefit that was primarily associated with the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit.
“Our strong financial results for the fourth quarter reinforce our view that the inventory-driven downturn that started in the second half of 2010 is now mostly complete,” said Rich Templeton, TI chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We used this short and shallow downturn to replenish our inventory, return product lead times to normal and ramp three new factories. As markets start to grow again, we are well positioned with the products and manufacturing capacity that our customers need.”
Templeton noted that the fourth quarter capped an important year in TI’s transformation. “Strong revenue growth of 34 percent last year was led by our core businesses of Analog, Embedded Processing and the part of our Wireless segment that is focused on smartphones and tablets. Each of these core businesses grew more than 40 percent and gained significant market share. Success in these businesses let us again return cash to shareholders by repurchasing $2.5 billion of TI stock and paying dividends of nearly $600 million.
“As we enter 2011, Analog and Embedded Processing technologies are becoming even more pervasive in the electronics of everyday life. They are critical for the small form factors and long battery lives in tablets and smartphones, the safety and intelligence features in automobiles, and the reliability and energy-saving features of the smart grid. With our focused R&D and expanded manufacturing capacity, we’re ready to deliver when and where our customers want.”

TI’s operating profit included $144 million from the gain on the sale of a product line. Net income also included a $78 million tax benefit, which was primarily associated with the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit that was retroactive to the beginning of 2010.
In addition, operating profit increased from a year ago due to higher gross profit from higher revenue. Compared with the prior quarter, operating profit was about even as lower gross profit, which resulted from lower revenue, offset the gain on sale and lower operating expenses.

|
|
Ÿ
|
Operating profit increased both from a year ago and from the prior quarter primarily due to the gain on the sale of a product line. Higher gross profit also contributed to the year-ago increase. Lower gross profit partially offset the gain on sale compared with the prior quarter.

Safe Harbor Statement
“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
This release includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as TI or its management “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements herein that describe TI’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements.
We urge you to carefully consider the following important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of TI or its management:
|
·
|
Market demand for semiconductors, particularly in key markets such as communications, computing, industrial and entertainment electronics;
|
|
·
|
TI’s ability to maintain or improve profit margins, including its ability to utilize its manufacturing facilities at sufficient levels to cover its fixed operating costs, in an intensely competitive and cyclical industry;
|
|
·
|
TI’s ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative products in a rapidly changing technological environment;
|
|
·
|
TI’s ability to compete in products and prices in an intensely competitive industry;
|
|
·
|
TI’s ability to maintain and enforce a strong intellectual property portfolio and obtain needed licenses from third parties;
|
|
·
|
Expiration of license agreements between TI and its patent licensees, and market conditions reducing royalty payments to TI;
|
|
·
|
Economic, social and political conditions in the countries in which TI, its customers or its suppliers operate, including security risks, health conditions, possible disruptions in transportation networks and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
|
|

Natural events such as severe weather and earthquakes in the locations in which TI, its customers or its suppliers operate;
|
|
·
|
Availability and cost of raw materials, utilities, manufacturing equipment, third-party manufacturing services and manufacturing technology;
|
|
·
|
Changes in the tax rate applicable to TI as the result of changes in tax law, the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, the outcome of tax audits and the ability to realize deferred tax assets;
|
|
·
|
Changes in laws and regulations to which TI or its suppliers are or may become subject, such as those imposing fees or reporting or substitution costs relating to the discharge of emissions into the environment or the use of certain raw materials in our manufacturing processes;
|
|
·
|
Losses or curtailments of purchases from key customers and the timing and amount of distributor and other customer inventory adjustments;
|
|
·
|
Customer demand that differs from our forecasts;
|
|
·
|
The financial impact of inadequate or excess TI inventory that results from demand that differs from projections;
|
|
·
|
Impairments of our non-financial assets;
|
|
·
|
Product liability or warranty claims, claims based on epidemic or delivery failure or recalls by TI customers for a product containing a TI part;
|
|
·
|
TI’s ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel; and
|
|
·
|
Timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, installation of manufacturing equipment and the ability to obtain needed third-party foundry and assembly/test subcontract services.
