DALLAS, April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today announced first-quarter revenue of $3.12 billion, net income of $265 million and earnings per share of 22 cents. EPS includes 10 cents of charges associated with the company's acquisition of National Semiconductor and restructuring.

"As we expected, our business cycle bottomed in the first quarter, and early signs of growth began to emerge," said Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO. "Orders were up 13 percent, and backlog is growing again. Particularly encouraging is the breadth of increased orders across geographical regions and markets, including the industrial sector.

"Sales in our Analog segment were about level with the prior quarter. We continue to make progress with Silicon Valley Analog, formerly National Semiconductor, as this product line gains traction with customers and holds a strong position in the important industrial market. Sales in Embedded Processing were up 7 percent led by growth in the automotive and communications infrastructure markets. Sales in our Wireless segment declined sharply as we entered the final phase of our exit from baseband products, which were less than 3 percent of total sales in the quarter. We are expanding the reach of our Wireless segment into multiple markets and experiencing strong diversity in our design-ins.

"We're poised for growth and share gains as markets rebound. Our product portfolio is strong, and our design position with customers is excellent. Our inventory is well-staged, and production in our factories is ramping. Our teams are confident and hungry, and we expect 2012 to be a good year for growth."

Total acquisition-related charges associated with TI's September 2011 acquisition of National Semiconductor are $174 million in the first quarter. These charges include $21 million in cost of revenue associated with the contract termination of a distributor. The remainder, $153 million, includes amortization of intangibles, retention bonuses and other items. Results also include $10 million of restructuring charges associated with the planned closings of two older factories announced in January 2012.

Revenue in the quarter includes insurance proceeds of about $65 million related to interruption of TI's business operations as a result of the 2011 Japan earthquake.

Compared with a year ago, lower gross profit in the quarter primarily reflects lower revenue. Compared with the fourth quarter, lower gross profit reflects lower revenue, which was partially offset by lower charges to cost of revenue related to the National acquisition and an increase in insurance proceeds.

Operating profit declined from a year ago primarily due to lower gross profit, total acquisition-related charges and higher operating expenses due to the inclusion of Silicon Valley Analog. Compared with the prior quarter, operating profit was higher primarily due to lower restructuring charges and lower total acquisition-related charges.

        from catalog products.  Revenue from products sold into automotive
        applications increased.
    --  Compared with the prior quarter, the increase in revenue was due to
        higher revenue from products sold into automotive applications and
        communications infrastructure.  Revenue from catalog products was about
        even.
    --  Operating profit decreased from a year ago primarily due to lower gross
        profit.  Operating profit increased from the prior quarter due to higher
        gross profit.

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


    --  Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue declined primarily due to
        baseband products.  Revenue from connectivity products also declined

        lower gross profit.

Other: (includes DLP(®) products, custom ASIC products, calculators and royalties as well as products sold under transitional supply agreements associated with recently acquired factories)


    --  Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue was down due to lower demand
        for DLP products and expiration of transitional supply agreements.  The
        first quarter's results also included proceeds of about $65 million from
        business interruption insurance related to the 2011 Japan earthquake.
    --  Compared with the prior quarter, revenue was up primarily due to the
        insurance proceeds.
    --  Operating profit decreased from a year ago primarily due to total
        acquisition-related charges.  Operating profit increased from the prior
        quarter primarily due to lower restructuring charges and lower total
        acquisition-related charges.

1Q12 additional financial information


    --  Orders were $3.24 billion, down 9 percent from the year-ago quarter and
        up 13 percent from the prior quarter.
    --  Inventory was $1.85 billion at the end of the quarter, up $175 million
        from a year ago and $65 million from the prior quarter.  The increase
        was due to the company building inventory to support higher anticipated
        demand in future quarters.
    --  Capital expenditures were $103 million in the quarter compared with $194
        million a year ago and $152 million in the prior quarter.  Capital
        expenditures in the quarter were primarily for assembly/test and wafer
        manufacturing equipment.
    --  The company used $300 million to repay its commercial paper borrowings,
        reducing the outstanding commercial paper obligation to $700 million.
    --  The company used $300 million in the quarter to repurchase 9.1 million
        shares of its common stock and paid dividends of $195 million.

Outlook

For the second quarter of 2012, TI expects:


    --  Revenue:  $3.22 - 3.48 billion
    --  Earnings per share:  $0.30 - 0.38

The second quarter's results will be negatively affected by about $100 million of acquisition charges and about $10 million of restructuring charges. Combined, these items will impact EPS by about 6 cents.

TI will update its second-quarter outlook on June 11, 2012.

For the full year of 2012, TI continues to expect approximately the following:


    --  R&D expense:  $2.0 billion
    --  Capital expenditures:  $0.7 billion
    --  Depreciation:  $1.0 billion
    --  Annual effective tax rate:  28%

The tax rate estimate is based on current tax law and does not assume reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit, which expired at the end of 2011.

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;
    --  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;
    --  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 networks and
        fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
    --  Natural events such as 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;
    --  Customer demand that differs from our forecasts;
    --  The financial impact of inadequate or excess TI inventory that results
        from demand that differs from projections;
    --  Impairments of our non-financial assets;
    --  Product liability or warranty claims, claims based on epidemic or
        delivery failure or recalls by TI customers for a product containing a
        TI part;
    --  TI's ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel;
    --  Timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, installation of
        manufacturing equipment and the ability to obtain needed third-party
        foundry and assembly/test subcontract services;
    --  TI's obligation to make principal and interest payments on its debt; and
    --  TI's ability to successfully integrate National Semiconductor's
        operations, product lines and technologies, and to realize opportunities
        for growth and cost savings from the acquisition.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the Risk Factors discussion in Item 1A of TI's most recent Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date of this release, and TI undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
