TI reports Q4 2024 and 2024 financial results and shareholder returns
DALLAS, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today reported fourth quarter revenue of $4.01 billion, net income of $1.21 billion and earnings per share of $1.30. Earnings per share included a 2-cent benefit that was not in the company's original guidance.
Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Haviv Ilan, TI's president and CEO, made the following comments:
-- "Revenue decreased 3% sequentially and 2% from the same quarter a year
ago.
-- "Our cash flow from operations of $6.3 billion for the trailing 12
months again underscored the strength of our business model, the quality
of our product portfolio and the benefit of 300mm production. Free cash
flow for the same period was $1.5 billion.
-- "Over the past 12 months we invested $3.8 billion in R&D and SG&A,
invested $4.8 billion in capital expenditures and returned $5.7 billion
to owners.
-- "TI's first quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $3.74 billion
to $4.06 billion and earnings per share between $0.94 and $1.16. We now
expect our 2025 effective tax rate to be about 12%."
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.

payable for 2024.
This release also includes references to operating taxes, a non-GAAP term we use to describe taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items. We believe the term operating taxes helps to differentiate from effective taxes, which include 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:
-- 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, suppliers and other third
parties;
-- 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 associated
restructuring charges and cost savings;
-- Our ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative products in a
rapidly changing technological environment, our timely implementation of
new manufacturing technologies and installation of manufacturing
equipment, and our ability to realize expected returns on significant
investments in manufacturing capacity;
-- Availability and cost of key materials, utilities, manufacturing
equipment, third-party manufacturing services and manufacturing
technology;
-- Our ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel and effectively
manage key employee succession;
-- Product liability, warranty or other claims relating to our products,
software, 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;
-- Financial difficulties of our distributors or semiconductor
distributors' promotion of competing product lines to our detriment; or
disputes with current or former distributors;
-- Losses or curtailments of purchases from key customers or the timing and
amount of 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; and
-- Impairments of our non-financial assets.
