TI reports 2Q13 financial results and shareholder returns

DALLAS, July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today reported second-quarter revenue of $3.05 billion, net income of $660 million and earnings per share of 58 cents. Results include a gain associated with the transfer of wireless connectivity technology to a customer and higher-than-expected charges associated with previously announced restructuring. The net impact of these items was a benefit of 16 cents to EPS.

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

• "Our revenue ended the quarter as expected, up 6 percent sequentially. Excluding legacy wireless, revenue grew 8 percent; our positions in industrial and automotive markets were important contributors to the sequential growth in revenue. Additionally, backlog increased, and with it, visibility into the second half improved.
• "Analog and Embedded Processing are now 78 percent of revenue, 6 points higher than a year ago. Our legacy wireless products declined to less than 5 percent of revenue and should be below 2 percent in the third quarter. Silicon Valley Analog (formerly National Semiconductor) led our Analog growth and is gaining share, one year ahead of plan.
• "Our business model continues to generate strong cash flow from operations. Free cash flow for the trailing 12 months was almost $3 billion, up 10 percent compared with a year ago. Free cash flow comprised 24 percent of revenue, which is consistent with our target of 20-25 percent.
• "We returned $1.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases in the second quarter. For the trailing 12 months, the return to shareholders totaled $3.6 billion, or 123 percent of free cash flow. Our strategy to return to shareholders all of our free cash flow not needed for debt repayment reflects our confidence in the long-term sustainability of our Analog and Embedded Processing business model.
• "Our balance sheet remains strong, with $3.2 billion of cash and short-term investments at the end of the quarter, 82 percent of which is owned by the company's U.S. entities, even after reducing debt by $500 million. Inventory days were 105, up from 101 a year ago, and consistent with our model of 105-115."

Free cash flow and revenue excluding legacy wireless are non-GAAP financial measures. Free cash flow is Cash flow from operations less Capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP financial information

Revenue excluding legacy wireless

This release includes a reference to TI's revenue excluding revenue from legacy wireless products. This measure, which was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), provides investors with insight into TI's underlying business results and is supplemental to the comparable GAAP measure.

Free cash flow

This release also includes references to free cash flow and various 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 of Cash flows from operating activities (also referred to as Cash flow from operations).

The free cash flow measures were compared to the following GAAP items to determine the various non-GAAP ratios presented below and referred to in the release: Revenue, Dividends paid and Stock repurchases. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP-based ratios is provided in the table below.

The company believes these non-GAAP measures provide insight into its liquidity, its cash-generating capability and the amount of cash available to return to investors as well as insight into its financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.
