TI reports third quarter 2020 financial results and shareholder returns

DALLAS, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today reported third quarter revenue of $3.82 billion, net income of $1.35 billion and earnings per share of $1.45.

Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO, made the following comments:

    --  "Revenue increased 18% sequentially with notable strength from the
        rebound of automotive demand and growing demand from personal
        electronics. Revenue increased 1% from the same quarter a year ago.
    --  "In our core businesses, Analog revenue grew 18% and Embedded Processing
        grew 19% sequentially. From a year ago, Analog revenue grew 7% and
        Embedded Processing declined 10%.
    --  "Our cash flow from operations of $5.8 billion for the trailing 12
        months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash
        flow for the same period was $5.2 billion and 38% of revenue. This
        reflects the quality of our product portfolio, as well as the efficiency
        of our manufacturing strategy, including the benefit of 300-millimeter
        Analog production.
    --  "We have returned $6.4 billion to owners in the past 12 months through
        stock repurchases and dividends. Over the same period, our dividends
        represented 64% of free cash flow, underscoring their sustainability. In
        September, we announced we would increase our dividend by 13%. Together,
        our stock repurchases and dividends reflect our continued commitment to
        return all free cash flow to our owners.
    --  "TI's fourth quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $3.41
        billion to $3.69 billion, and earnings per share between $1.20 and
        $1.40."

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP financial information

This release includes references to free cash flow and ratios based on that measure. These are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow was calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating activities (also referred to as cash flow from operations).

We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the table below.

Amounts are in millions of dollars.

This release also includes references to an annual operating tax rate, a non-GAAP term we use to describe the estimated annual effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items. We believe the term annual operating tax rate helps differentiate from the effective tax rate, which includes discrete tax items.

Notice regarding forward-looking statements

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 our management:

    --  The duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, government and other
        third-party responses to it and the consequences for the global economy,
        including to our business and the businesses of our suppliers, customers
        and distributors;
    --  Economic, social and political conditions, and natural events in the
        countries in which we, our customers or our suppliers operate, including
        global trade policies;
    --  Market demand for semiconductors, particularly in the industrial and
        automotive markets, and customer demand that differs from forecasts;
    --  Our ability to compete in products and prices in an intensely
        competitive industry;
    --  Evolving cybersecurity and other threats relating to our information
        technology systems or those of our customers or suppliers;
    --  Our ability to successfully implement and realize opportunities from
        strategic, business and organizational changes, or our ability to
        realize our expectations regarding the amount and timing of
        restructuring charges and associated cost savings;
    --  Our ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative products in a
        rapidly changing technological environment, and our timely
        implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation of
        manufacturing equipment;
    --  Availability and cost of raw materials, utilities, manufacturing
        equipment, third-party manufacturing services and manufacturing
        technology;
    --  Product liability, warranty or other claims relating to our products,
        manufacturing, delivery, services, design or communications, or recalls
        by our customers for a product containing one of our parts;
    --  Compliance with or changes in the complex laws, rules and regulations to
        which we are or may become subject, or actions of enforcement
        authorities, that restrict our ability to operate our business, or
        subject us to fines, penalties or other legal liability;
    --  Changes in tax law and accounting standards that impact the tax rate
        applicable to us, the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to
        be earned and taxed, adverse resolution of tax audits, increases in
        tariff rates, and the ability to realize deferred tax assets;
    --  A loss suffered by one of our customers or distributors with respect to
        TI-consigned inventory;
    --  Financial difficulties of our distributors or their promotion of
        competing product lines to our detriment; or disputes with significant
        distributors;
    --  Losses or curtailments of purchases from key customers or the timing and
        amount of distributor and other customer inventory adjustments;
    --  Our ability to maintain or improve profit margins, including our ability
        to utilize our manufacturing facilities at sufficient levels to cover
        our fixed operating costs, in an intensely competitive and cyclical
        industry and changing regulatory environment;
    --  Our ability to maintain and enforce a strong intellectual property
        portfolio and maintain freedom of operation in all jurisdictions where
        we conduct business; or our exposure to infringement claims;
    --  Instability in the global credit and financial markets;
    --  Increases in health care and pension benefit costs;
    --  Our ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel, and effectively
        manage key employee succession; and
    --  Impairments of our non-financial assets.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the Risk factors discussion in Part II Item 1A of TI's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date of this release, and we undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
