DALLAS (October 24, 2005) Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today reported record quarterly revenue of $3.59 billion, an increase of 11 percent sequentially and 10 percent over the third quarter of last year. Growth was driven by the companys Semiconductor segment, which was up 13 percent sequentially and 13 percent from a year ago with particularly strong demand for digital signal processors (DSPs) and analog chips that are used in a variety of communications and entertainment electronics.
Earnings per share (EPS) in the third quarter were $0.38. As previously announced, the company began expensing stock options in the third quarter, and as a result, EPS included $0.03 of additional expense for stock-based compensation. For comparison purposes, it is important to note that equivalent stock-based compensation expense was not reflected in any prior quarterly period. EPS also included $0.01 for higher-than-anticipated taxes in the quarter.
In addition to record revenue, TI reached new highs for gross margin at 49.3 percent, for operating margin at 22.7 percent, and for operating cash flow at $1.51 billion. This
1
performance is especially significant as semiconductor inventories declined at TI and distributors, said Rich Templeton, president and chief executive officer.
Additionally, TI continued to gain share in areas with sustainable long-term growth, he said. Wireless revenue grew 16 percent sequentially and 20 percent from a year ago; high-performance analog revenue grew 10 percent sequentially and 16 percent from a year ago; and DLP® product revenue grew 41 percent sequentially and was even with a year ago.
TI continues to hold leadership positions in semiconductors for both the high and low ends of the cell phone market. For solutions used in feature-rich 3G UMTS cell phones, revenue remains on track to exceed $1 billion in 2005. In low-priced cell phones, TIs solutions are penetrating markets such as China, India, Brazil and Africa, changing the way people communicate.
In high-performance analog, our leadership products in data converters, power management and amplifiers continue to attract new customers and yield solid results. And in DLP products, we recovered from an inventory correction in the first half of the year and moved into a strong third quarter, Templeton said.
In summary, this was an excellent quarter. We are fortunate to have a unique position with leadership in multiple markets and a business model that allows us to invest in critical R&D yet generate high levels of operating cash flow. We remain focused on making our customers successful and on returning value to our shareholders, Templeton concluded.
Gross Profit
In the third quarter, TIs gross profit was a record $1.77 billion, or 49.3 percent of revenue. This included the impact of $16 million, or 0.5 percent of revenue, of stock-based
2
compensation expense. Gross profit increased $250 million sequentially and $282 million from a year ago due to higher gross profit in the companys Semiconductor segment.
Operating Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expense of $527 million, or 14.7 percent of revenue, increased $34 million sequentially and $44 million from a year ago primarily due to stock-based compensation expense, which was $26 million in the quarter. The change from a year ago also included higher product development expenses, primarily for analog and DSP semiconductors that go into cell phones.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $429 million, or 12.0 percent of revenue, increased $70 million sequentially and $80 million from a year ago primarily due to compensation expense as well as higher marketing expense. Stock-based compensation expense in SG&A was $40 million in the third quarter.
Operating Profit
Operating profit of $815 million and operating margin of 22.7 percent of revenue were all-time highs for the company. Operating profit increased $146 million sequentially and $158 million from a year ago due to higher gross profit. Operating profit reflected the impact of $82 million, or 2.3 percent of revenue, of stock-based compensation expense, which was included in corporate activities.
3
Other Income (Expense) Net (OI&E)
OI&E of $49 million decreased $7 million sequentially and $13 million from a year ago primarily due to favorable items included in the previous periods. OI&E in the second quarter included a tax interest benefit, and the year-ago quarter included a significant favorable settlement with the Italian government regarding TIs former memory-chip operations.
Net Income
Net income was $631 million. EPS of $0.38, which includes $0.03 of stock-based compensation expense and $0.01 of higher-than-anticipated taxes, was even with the second quarter. EPS in the second quarter included $0.06 of nonrecurring tax-related benefits.
Compared with a year ago, EPS increased $0.06 due to higher operating profit.
The 27 percent effective tax rate for the third quarter was higher than the previously expected 24 percent rate due to a revision in the estimated annual effective tax rate and the associated cumulative adjustment.
Orders
TI orders of $3.74 billion increased $351 million sequentially and $721 million from a year ago due to higher demand for Semiconductor products.
Cash
Cash flow from operations of $1.51 billion increased $687 million sequentially and $572 million from a year ago.
At the end of the third quarter, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments and long-term cash investments) was $5.25 billion, up $773 million from the end of
4
the previous quarter and down $366 million from the end of the year-ago period. During the quarter, the company used $496 million in cash to repurchase 15 million shares of TI common stock. Over the past 12 months, TI has repurchased 140 million shares of common stock and paid $169 million in dividends.
Capital Spending and Depreciation
Capital expenditures of $450 million increased $193 million sequentially and $120 million from a year ago. TIs capital expenditures in the third quarter were primarily for assembly and test equipment, advanced wafer fabrication equipment and building the companys new 300-millimeter manufacturing facility in Richardson, Texas.
Depreciation of $339 million decreased $6 million sequentially and $39 million from a year ago.
Accounts Receivable and Inventories
Accounts receivable of $1.92 billion at the end of the third quarter increased $13 million sequentially due to higher revenue, partially offset by seasonally lower receivables in the companys E&PS business. Accounts receivable decreased $50 million from the end of the year-ago quarter. Days sales outstanding were 48 at the end of the third quarter compared with 53 at the end of the previous quarter and 54 at the end of the year-ago quarter.
Inventories of $1.16 billion at the end of the third quarter decreased $44 million sequentially due to stronger-than-expected shipments, which reduced inventory to less-than-desired levels. Inventory decreased $198 million from a year ago when inventories were higher than
5
desired. Days of inventory at the end of the third quarter were 57 compared with 63 at the end of the previous quarter and 69 at the end of the year-ago quarter.
Outlook
TI intends to provide a mid-quarter update to its financial outlook on December 7, 2005, by issuing a press release and holding a conference call. Both will be available on the companys web site.
For the fourth quarter of 2005, TI expects revenue to be in the following ranges:
| Total TI, $3.425 billion to $3.715 billion; |
| Semiconductor, $3.075 billion to $3.325 billion; |
| Sensors & Controls, $290 million to $310 million; and |
| E&PS, $60 million to $80 million. |
TI expects EPS to be in the range of $0.36 to $0.40. This estimate includes about $0.03 for stock-based compensation expense.
For 2005, TI expects R&D expense of about $2.1 billion, capital expenditures of about $1.3 billion and depreciation of about $1.4 billion. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2005 is about 25 percent.

Semiconductor
| Semiconductor revenue of $3.13 billion increased $370 million sequentially, or 13 percent, due to strong growth in demand for the companys DSP, analog and DLP products. Compared with a year ago, revenue increased 13 percent due to higher demand for DSP and analog products. |
| Gross profit was $1.60 billion, or 50.9 percent of revenue. Gross profit increased $280 million sequentially and $308 million from a year ago primarily due to higher revenue plus manufacturing cost reductions and higher utilization of manufacturing assets. |
| Operating profit was $835 million, or 26.6 percent of revenue, up $241 million sequentially and $253 million from a year ago due to higher gross profit. |
| Analog revenue increased 13 percent sequentially reflecting strong demand for high-performance analog products, as well as wireless analog products. Compared with a year ago, analog revenue increased 11 percent primarily due to strength in high-performance analog products. High-performance analog revenue grew 10 percent sequentially and 16 percent from a year ago. |
| DSP revenue increased 16 percent sequentially and 20 percent from a year ago primarily due to higher demand from the wireless market. |
| TIs remaining Semiconductor revenue grew 11 percent sequentially and 4 percent from a year ago. The sequential increase was primarily due to increased DLP product revenue and, to a lesser extent, standard logic and royalty revenue. Microcontroller and RISC microprocessor revenue was about the same as the second quarter. From a year ago, RISC |
11
microprocessor, royalty, microcontroller and standard logic revenue increased. DLP product revenue was about the same as a year ago. |
| Semiconductor orders of $3.32 billion increased 12 percent sequentially primarily due to strong demand for DSP and analog products used in cell phones, as well as demand for high-performance analog and other DSP products.
