DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today announced fourth-quarter revenue of $2.98 billion, net income of $264 million and earnings per share of 23 cents.

EPS includes 6 cents of charges associated with the company's 2011 acquisition of National Semiconductor Corporation and restructuring that was included in the company's outlook provided in December. EPS also includes 23 cents of charges associated with the recently announced restructuring of the company's Wireless business of which 21 cents was included in the company's outlook. In addition, EPS includes 15 cents for a discrete tax benefit and associated interest that was not included in the company's outlook. Excluding these items, non-GAAP EPS rounds to 36 cents.

"We continue to operate in a weak demand environment," said Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO. "Our visibility into future demand remains limited as our lead times are short and our customers are reluctant to commit to extended backlog. On the positive side, we believe customers and distributors are operating with lean inventory. Our own operations are disciplined and performing well, with gross margin up despite increased underutilization costs, and with operating expenses down from a year ago.

"Even in the current economy, our strategy is yielding high free cash flow and strong returns to our shareholders. For the full year, free cash flow of almost $3 billion grew 20 percent and was 23 percent of our revenue. We returned 90 percent of this free cash flow to our shareholders through our continued share repurchases and higher dividend payments. Our strong free cash flow is the result of more of our revenue coming from Analog and Embedded Processing, which offer solid growth and high margins and have low capital needs. Our free cash flow will also benefit from our strategic purchases of manufacturing capacity during the past few years. We have almost half of our manufacturing capacity available to support future growth, which means we can maintain our capital spending at very low levels in the years ahead, even as our revenue grows."

4Q12 financial summary

Amounts are in millions of dollars, except per-share amounts.


	4Q12	4Q11	Change	3Q12	Change
Revenue	$ 2,979	$ 3,420	-13%	$ 3,390	-12%
Operating profit	$ 139	$ 365	-62%	$ 840	-83%
Net income	$ 264	$ 298	-11%	$ 784	-66%
Earnings per share	$ .23	$ .25	-8%	$ .67	-66%

* Non-GAAP; Cash flow from operations minus Capital expenditures.

Acquisition charges associated with TI's acquisition of National Semiconductor in 2011 were $88 million in the fourth quarter, primarily amortization of intangibles. Included in Restructuring charges/other are charges of $351 million associated with restructuring the Wireless business, including $90 million of non-tax deductible goodwill impairment, and $12 million associated with the previously announced planned closure of several older factories.

Compared with a year ago, gross profit declined due to lower revenue and the costs associated with lower levels of factory utilization. These were partially offset by lower manufacturing costs and the non-recurrence of the $103 million in cost of revenue in the year-ago quarter attributable primarily to the fair value write-up of acquired inventory associated with the National acquisition. Compared with the prior quarter, gross profit declined due to lower revenue, including the non-recurrence of $60 million in business interruption insurance proceeds associated with the 2011 earthquake in Japan.

Operating profit decreased from a year ago as the combination of higher restructuring charges and lower gross profit more than offset lower acquisition charges and operating expenses. Compared with the prior quarter, operating profit declined primarily due to higher Restructuring charges/other, including the Wireless restructuring charge and the non-recurrence of a $144 million benefit in the prior quarter associated with a change in a Japan pension program, as well as lower gross profit.

Other income (expense) included $38 million of income for interest associated with a discrete tax benefit. This tax benefit was $147 million and primarily consists of additional U.S. tax benefits for manufacturing related to the years 2000 through 2006.

* Includes Restructuring charges/other and/or Acquisition charges.

Analog: (includes High Volume Analog & Logic, Power Management, High Performance Analog and Silicon Valley Analog)

Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue decreased due to lower Silicon Valley Analog and High Performance Analog revenue. Power Management revenue increased while High Volume Analog & Logic was about even.
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue decreased across all product lines.
Operating profit increased from the year-ago quarter as lower operating expenses more than offset lower gross profit. Operating profit declined from the prior quarter due to lower gross profit, which more than offset lower operating expenses.

Embedded Processing: (includes digital signal processor and microcontroller catalog products that are sold across a wide variety of markets as well as application-specific products that are used in communications infrastructure and automotive electronics)

Compared with the year-ago quarter, the increase in revenue was primarily due to higher revenue from products sold into communications infrastructure applications. Revenue from catalog products and products sold into automotive applications also increased.
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue declined across all product lines.
Operating profit increased from a year ago primarily due to lower operating expenses, as well as higher gross profit. Operating profit decreased from the prior quarter due to lower gross profit.

Wireless: (includes OMAP™ applications processors, connectivity products and baseband products)

Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue declined primarily due to lower baseband revenue. Revenue from OMAP applications processors and connectivity products also declined.
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue declined due to lower connectivity product revenue, which more than offset an increase in baseband revenue. Revenue from OMAP applications processors was even.
Operating profit in the year-ago quarter became an operating loss due to higher Restructuring charges/other and lower revenue. Compared with the prior quarter, the operating loss increased due to higher Restructuring charges/other.

Other: (includes DLP^® products, custom ASIC products, calculators and royalties)

Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue was down primarily due to the expiration of transitional supply agreements associated with previously acquired factories. Revenue from DLP products declined while revenue from custom ASIC products and royalties increased. Revenue from calculators was about even.
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue declined primarily due to the seasonal decline in calculators. Revenue from DLP products and custom ASIC products also declined, while royalties increased. The prior quarter also included proceeds that did not recur from business interruption insurance associated with the Japan earthquake.
Operating profit increased from a year ago primarily due to lower total acquisition-related charges, as well as lower Restructuring charges/other. Operating profit decreased from the prior quarter primarily due to lower gross profit resulting from lower revenue, including lower business interruption insurance proceeds. In addition, the prior quarter included the $144 million benefit from a Japan pension program change.

Beginning with the first-quarter 2013 financial report, TI will transition its segment reporting to align with the company's strategic focus and new organizational structure. The Wireless segment will be eliminated, as the company has announced that it is winding down investment in Wireless products for the smartphone and consumer tablet markets. Financial results for these products will be included in the Other segment for the remainder of their lives. Financial results for Wireless products that address embedded applications, a strategic focus for the company, will be reported in the Embedded Processing segment.

4Q12 additional financial information

Orders were $2.72 billion, down 5 percent from the year-ago quarter and down 16 percent from the prior quarter.
Inventory was $1.76 billion at the end of the quarter, down $31 million from a year ago and down $91 million from the prior quarter.
The company used $600 million in the quarter to repurchase 20.6 million shares of its common stock and paid dividends of $235 million.
The financial results for 4Q12 and 2012 are based on tax law in effect at the end of the reporting period and, therefore, do not include the impact of the retroactive reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit, which was signed into law in January 2013.

(3) Wireless revenue declined primarily due to the company's exit from baseband products. Revenue from connectivity products and, to a lesser extent, OMAP applications processors also declined.

(4) Other revenue declined primarily due to the expiration of transitional supply agreements and lower revenue from DLP products. Revenue from calculators and royalties also declined. Revenue from custom ASIC products increased.

2012 additional financial information

The company used $1.80 billion to repurchase 59.8 million shares of its common stock and paid dividends of $819 million.

Outlook

For the first quarter of 2013, TI expects:

Revenue: $2.69 – 2.91 billion
Earnings per share: $0.24 – 0.32

At the middle of this range, revenue is expected to be down $179 million sequentially. About $135 million, or about 75 percent, of this decline is expected to come from Wireless products for the smartphone and consumer tablet markets from which the company is exiting.

The first quarter's EPS will be negatively affected by about 6 cents from acquisition and restructuring charges. EPS will include a discrete tax benefit of 6 cents resulting from the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit that was retroactive to the beginning of 2012.

TI will update its first-quarter outlook on March 7, 2013.

For the full year of 2013, TI expects approximately the following:

R&D expense: $1.6 billion
Capital expenditures: $0.5 billion
Depreciation: $0.9 billion
Annual effective tax rate: 22%

The tax rate estimate is based on current law and includes the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit for 2013.

Non-GAAP financial information

This earnings release includes two measures that were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (non-GAAP measures): diluted earnings per share excluding the effects of certain costs, and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.

Free cash flow was calculated as noted in the body of the release by subtracting capital expenditures (Additions to property, plant and equipment) from the GAAP-based Cash flows from operating activities. The components of this calculation are included in the tables in the body of the release. We provide this non-GAAP measure of free cash flow to give investors insight into the company's liquidity, cash-generating capability and the amount of cash available to return to investors.

Results for the fourth quarter of 2012 include charges for the 2011 acquisition of National Semiconductor and various restructuring actions, as well as a discrete tax benefit. A non-GAAP measure of EPS excluding these items provides investors insight into TI's underlying business results. The table below reconciles this non-GAAP measure to results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

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 its management:

Market demand for semiconductors, particularly in key markets such as communications, computing, industrial and consumer electronics;
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;
