DALLAS, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced fourth-quarter revenue of $3.00 billion, net income of $655 million and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.52.

"TI's growth and improving performance reflect our focus on Analog and Embedded Processing. These are large, diverse businesses that give us access to the world's fastest-growing electronics markets," said Rich Templeton, TI chairman, president and chief executive officer.

"In the fourth quarter, demand was strong across end markets without the usual holiday slowdown. Throughout, we believe customer and channel inventories have been lean. With demand continuing to be solid and inventories well below historical levels, our outlook for the first quarter reflects the likelihood of sequential growth instead of the typical seasonal decline.

"We continue to make investments to support customers and drive growth, including the ramp-up of the industry's first 300-millimeter analog factory in Richardson, Texas," Templeton concluded.

TI's operating profit increased compared with the fourth quarter of 2008 and the prior quarter primarily due to higher gross profit, which included the impact of higher revenue and the benefit associated with higher utilization of manufacturing assets. In addition, restructuring charges were lower compared with a year ago.

      Operating profit   $  222   $   62      258%    $  272      -18%

The product categories in each segment are as follows:


    --  Analog:  high-volume analog & logic, high-performance analog (includes
        data converters, amplifiers and interface products) and power management
    --  Embedded Processing:  DSPs and microcontrollers used in catalog,
        communications infrastructure and automotive applications
    --  Wireless:  DSPs and analog used in basebands for handsets, OMAP(TM)
        applications processors and connectivity products for wireless
        applications
    --  Other:  includes DLP® products, calculators, ASIC products, RISC
        microprocessors and royalties




    (1)   The increase in Analog revenue from a year ago and from the prior
          quarter was primarily due to a combination of strength in power
          management and high-volume analog & logic.  High-performance analog
          revenue also increased, but to a lesser extent.  The gains in
          operating profit for this segment, both from a year ago and
          sequentially, were primarily due to higher gross profit.
    (2)   The increase in Embedded Processing revenue from a year ago and from
          the prior quarter was primarily due to a combination of higher
          catalog and automotive product revenue.  Revenue from communications
          infrastructure products also increased, but to a lesser extent.
          The gains in operating profit for this segment, both from a year ago
          and sequentially, were primarily due to higher gross profit.
    (3)   The increase in Wireless revenue from a year ago and from the prior
          quarter was primarily due to strength in connectivity products and
          applications processors.  Baseband product revenue was about even
          with the year-ago quarter and increased sequentially.  Operating
          profit in this segment increased from a year ago primarily due to
          the combination of lower restructuring charges and higher gross
          profit, and increased from the prior quarter primarily due to higher
          gross profit.
    (4)   Other revenue increased from a year ago due to gains in DLP
          products, royalties and calculators.  Revenue from RISC
          microprocessors declined from a year ago.  Revenue in this segment
          decreased from the prior quarter due to the seasonal decline in
          calculator revenue.  This was partially offset as revenue from DLP
          products and ASIC products increased.  Operating profit in this
          segment increased from a year ago primarily due to higher gross
          profit and declined from the prior quarter due to seasonally lower
          gross profit.

Restructuring charges were as follows:

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 the Company'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, entertainment electronics and computing;
    --  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;
    --  The ability of TI and its customers and suppliers to access their bank
        accounts and lines of credit or otherwise access the capital markets;
    --  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; and
    --  Timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, installation of
        manufacturing equipment and the ability to obtain needed third-party
        foundry and assembly/test subcontract services.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the Risk Factors discussion in Item 1A of the Company'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 the Company undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
