TI reports first quarter 2021 financial results and shareholder returns
Conference call on TI website at 3:30 p.m. Central time today

DALLAS (April 27, 2021) – Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today reported first quarter revenue of $4.29 billion, net income of $1.75 billion and earnings per share of $1.87. Earnings per share included a 2-cent net benefit for items that were not in the company's original guidance.
Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO, made the following comments:
•"Revenue increased 5% sequentially. In addition, revenue increased 29% from the same quarter a year ago due to strong demand in industrial, automotive and personal electronics.
•"In our core businesses, Analog revenue grew 5% and Embedded Processing grew 7% sequentially. From a year ago, Analog revenue grew 33% and Embedded Processing grew 17%.
•"Our cash flow from operations of $7.1 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash flow for the same period was $6.3 billion and 41% of revenue. This reflects the quality of our product portfolio, as well as the efficiency of our manufacturing strategy, including the benefit of 300-millimeter Analog production.
•"We returned $4.5 billion to owners in the past 12 months through dividends and stock repurchases. Over the same period, our dividend represented 56% of free cash flow, underscoring its sustainability.
•"TI's second quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $4.13 billion to $4.47 billion and earnings per share between $1.68 and $1.92. We continue to expect our 2021 annual operating tax rate to be about 14%."

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, 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).
We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our 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.

This release also includes references to an annual operating tax rate, a non-GAAP term we use to describe the estimated annual effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items. We believe the term annual operating tax rate helps differentiate from the effective tax rate, which includes discrete tax items.
