DALLAS, Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today reported third-quarter revenue of $3.68 billion, net income of $968 million and earnings per share of 94 cents.

TI also increased its quarterly dividend by 32 percent to 50 cents per share, or $2.00 annualized. The increase reflects TI's continued strength in free cash flow generation and its commitment to return excess cash to shareholders. The quarterly dividend was declared and will be payable November 21, 2016, to shareholders of record on November 7, 2016.

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


    --  "Revenue and earnings per share for the quarter were slightly above our
        expected range. Compared with a year ago, demand for our products
        continued to be strong in the automotive market and improved in the
        industrial market. Demand in the personal electronics market was about
        even with a year ago.
    --  "In our core businesses, Embedded Processing revenue grew 10 percent and
        Analog revenue grew 6 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
        Operating margin increased in both businesses.
    --  "Gross margin of 62.0 percent reflected the quality of our product
        portfolio, as well as the efficiency of our manufacturing strategy,
        including the benefit of 300-millimeter Analog production.
    --  "Our cash flow from operations of $4.5 billion for the trailing 12
        months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash
        flow for the trailing 12 months was up 8 percent from a year ago to $3.9
        billion, and represents 29.5 percent of revenue, up from 27.5 percent a
        year ago.
    --  "We have returned $3.8 billion to shareholders in the past 12 months
        through stock repurchases and dividends, consistent with our strategy to
        return to shareholders all of our free cash flow plus proceeds from
        exercises of equity compensation minus net debt retirement.
    --  "Our balance sheet remains strong with $3.1 billion of cash and
        short-term investments at the end of the quarter, about 80 percent of
        which was owned by the company's U.S. entities. Inventory ended the
        quarter at 117 days.
    --  "TI's fourth-quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $3.17
        billion to $3.43 billion, and earnings per share between 76 and 86
        cents. For 2016, TI's annual effective tax rate is expected to be about
        30 percent, unchanged from previous guidance."

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

Non-GAAP financial information

This release 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 shareholders, as well as insight into its financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.

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

Notice regarding forward-looking statements

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 TI's end markets;
    --  TI's ability to compete in products and prices in an intensely
        competitive industry;
    --  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 forecasts and the financial impact of
        inadequate or excess TI inventory that results from demand that differs
        from projections;
    --  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;
    --  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 severe weather, geological events or health
        epidemics in the locations in which TI, its customers or its suppliers
        operate;
    --  Breaches of TI's information technology systems or those of its
        customers or suppliers;
    --  Availability and cost of raw materials, utilities, manufacturing
        equipment, third-party manufacturing services and manufacturing
        technology;
    --  Timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation
        of manufacturing equipment, and the ability to obtain needed third-party
        foundry and assembly/test subcontract services;
    --  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;
    --  Compliance with or changes in the complex laws, rules and regulations to
        which TI is or may become subject, or actions of enforcement
        authorities, that restrict TI's ability to manufacture its products or
        operate its business, or subject us to fines, penalties, or other legal
        liability;
    --  Product liability or warranty claims, claims based on epidemic or
        delivery failure, or other claims relating to TI products,
        manufacturing, services, design or communications, or recalls by TI
        customers for a product containing a TI part;
    --  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, adverse resolution of tax audits and the ability to realize
        deferred tax assets;
    --  Financial difficulties of 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;
    --  Instability in the global credit and financial markets that affects TI's
        ability to fund its daily operations, invest in the business, make
        strategic acquisitions, or make principal and interest payments on its
        debt;
    --  Increases in health care and pension benefit costs;
    --  TI's ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel;
    --  TI's ability to successfully integrate and realize opportunities for
        growth from acquisitions, and its ability to realize its expectations
        regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges and associated
        cost savings; and
    --  Impairments of TI's non-financial assets.

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 we undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
