TI reports 4Q14 and 2014 financial results and shareholder returns

Conference call on TI website at 4:30 p.m. Central time today

DALLAS (Jan. 26, 2015) – Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today reported fourth-quarter revenue of $3.27 billion, net income of $825 million and earnings per share of 76 cents. Earnings per share included 7 cents for two items that were not in guidance for the quarter.

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

 

  “Revenue growth of 8 percent year-over-year was consistent with our expectations, as were earnings per share, excluding the two items. Strength in both of these came from another quarter of strong execution.

 

  “Analog and Embedded Processing drove revenue growth in the quarter, and combined, they comprised 85 percent of fourth-quarter revenue.

 

  “Gross margin of 58.0 percent reflects the diversity and longevity of our product portfolio, as well as the efficiency of our manufacturing strategy.

 

  “Our cash flow from operations once again underscores the strength of our business model. Free cash flow for the year was up 18 percent from a year ago to $3.5 billion or 27 percent of revenue. This represents an increase of 3 percentage points from a year ago and is consistent with our targeted range of 20-30 percent of revenue.

 

  “We returned $4.2 billion to shareholders in the year through stock repurchases and dividends.

 

  “Our strategy to return to shareholders 100 percent of free cash flow plus proceeds from exercises of equity compensation minus net debt retirement reflects our confidence in the long-term sustainability of our business model.

 

  “Our balance sheet remains strong, with $3.5 billion of cash and short-term investments at the end of the quarter, 82 percent of which was owned by the company’s U.S. entities. Inventory ended the quarter at 117 days.

 

  “TI’s outlook for the first quarter of 2015 is for revenue in the range of $3.07 billion to $3.33 billion and earnings per share between $0.57 and $0.67. At the midpoint of our range, revenue would increase 7 percent from the year-ago quarter. The annual effective tax rate for 2015 is expected to be about 30 percent, which does not assume the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit.”

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

Non-GAAP financial information

Earnings per share, excluding two items

This release includes a reference to earnings per share, excluding two items, compared with previously issued guidance. The company believes this measure, which was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and is supplemental to the comparable GAAP measure, provides investors with insight into TI’s underlying business results.

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

TI’s fourth-quarter 2014 outlook for earnings per share between $0.64 and $0.74 was included in the company’s third-quarter earnings release.

Free cash flow and associated ratios

This release also 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).

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

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 markets such as personal electronics, especially the mobile phone sector, and industrial;

 

  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;

 

  Violations of or changes in the complex laws, regulations and policies to which our global operations are subject, and 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, communications and information technology networks and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

  Natural events such as health epidemics, 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;

 

  Financial difficulties of our distributors or their promotion of competing product lines to TI’s detriment;

 

  A loss suffered by a customer or distributor of TI with respect to TI-consigned inventory;

 

  Customer demand that differs from our forecasts;


  The financial impact of inadequate or excess TI inventory that results from demand that differs from projections;
