    DALLAS, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today reported revenue of $3.42 billion for
the second quarter of 2007. Revenue increased 7 percent compared with the
prior quarter as demand for the company's semiconductor products began to
rebound following an inventory correction in the semiconductor market.
Growth also benefited from a seasonal increase in demand for the company's
graphing calculator products. Revenue decreased 7 percent compared with the
year-ago quarter due to lower demand across a broad base of products.
    Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.42. This was a $0.07, or 20 percent,
increase from the prior quarter and a $0.05 decrease from the year-ago
quarter. In the year-ago quarter, financial results included EPS benefits
of $0.03 from a sales tax refund and $0.02 associated with a favorable
royalty settlement. The royalty settlement also contributed $70 million to
revenue in the year-ago quarter.
    "Our attention to customers and growing focus on analog continue to
help us deliver stronger financial results," said Rich Templeton, president
and chief executive officer. "Moreover, we see even greater opportunities
ahead as the market regains momentum. With TI's broad product portfolio,
spanning both analog and digital signal processing technologies, we are in
a unique position to support customers working on hundreds of electronics
applications across the globe. We also see potential to expand our margins,
and we recently raised our profitability goals to 55 percent gross margin
and 30 percent operating margin. We expect to meet these goals within the
next few years."
    Gross Profit
    Gross profit was $1.78 billion, a record 52.1 percent of revenue. This
was up $147 million from the prior quarter due to higher revenue. It was
down $123 million from the year-ago quarter primarily due to the
combination of the royalty settlement and sales tax refund in the year-ago
quarter, as well as lower revenue.
    Operating Expenses
    Research and development (R&D) expense was $551 million. This was about
even with the prior quarter. R&D expense increased $15 million from the
year-ago quarter due to the favorable impact of the sales tax refund a year
ago.
    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $424 million.
This was an increase of $19 million from the prior quarter primarily due to
higher compensation-related expenses, as well as seasonally higher
marketing expenses for graphing calculators. SG&A expense was about even
with the year-ago quarter.
    Operating Profit
    Operating profit was $809 million, or 23.6 percent of revenue. This was
an increase of $129 million from the prior quarter due to higher gross
profit. It was a decrease of $144 million from the year-ago quarter
primarily due to the combination of the royalty settlement and sales tax
refund in the year-ago quarter.
    Other Income (Expense) Net (OI&E)
    OI&E was $56 million. This was an increase of $16 million from the
prior quarter primarily due to the impairment of an investment in the prior
quarter. OI&E declined $32 million from a year ago primarily due to a
benefit associated with the sales tax refund in the year-ago quarter, as
well as lower interest income.
    Income
    Income from continuing operations was $614 million, or $0.42 per share.
    Orders
    TI orders were $3.45 billion. This was an increase of $247 million, or
8 percent, from the prior quarter due to higher demand for semiconductor
products and seasonally stronger demand for calculators. Orders declined
$455 million from the year-ago quarter due to lower demand for
semiconductor products that more than offset a $50 million increase in
demand for calculators.
    Cash
    Cash flow from operations was $898 million. This was an increase of
$344 million from the prior quarter primarily due to a reduced need for
cash to meet working capital requirements, such as the payment of annual
profit sharing and bonus that was made in the prior quarter. Higher net
income also contributed to the increase in cash flow from operations. Total
cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $3.58
billion at the end of the second quarter. This was an increase of $245
million from the end of the prior quarter and a decrease of $2.09 billion
from the year-ago quarter, which included $2.98 billion from the sale of
the company's former Sensors & Controls business in that quarter. In the
second quarter of 2007, the company used $742 million to repurchase 21
million shares of common stock, paid $115 million in dividends to
shareholders and retired $43 million of debt on its maturity date. Since
the end of the year-ago quarter, the company has used $4.42 billion to
repurchase 143 million shares of common stock and paid $278 million in
dividends.
    Capital Spending and Depreciation
    Capital expenditures were $174 million. This was a decrease of $5
million from the prior quarter and a decrease of $200 million from the
year-ago quarter due to lower expenditures for semiconductor manufacturing
equipment. TI's capital expenditures in the quarter were primarily for
equipment used in the manufacture of semiconductors, especially assembly
and test equipment.
    Depreciation was $256 million. This was an increase of $4 million from
the prior quarter and a decrease of $11 million from the year-ago quarter.
    Accounts Receivable and Inventories
    Accounts receivable were $1.90 billion at the end of the second
quarter. This was an increase of $141 million from the prior quarter due to
higher revenue and a decrease of $32 million from the year-ago quarter due
to lower revenue. Days sales outstanding were 50 at the end of the second
quarter compared with 50 at the end of the prior quarter and 47 at the end
of the year-ago quarter.
    Inventory was $1.42 billion at the end of the second quarter. This was
an increase of $15 million from the prior quarter as the company built
inventory of graphing calculators in preparation for the back-to-school
sales season. Compared with a year ago, inventory increased $89 million
primarily due to replenishment of high-performance analog product inventory
from less-than- desirable levels a year ago. Days of inventory at the end
of the second quarter were 78 compared with 82 at the end of the prior
quarter and 67 a year ago.
    Outlook
    TI intends to provide a mid-quarter update to its financial outlook on
September 11, 2007, by issuing a press release and holding a conference
call. Both will be available on the company's web site.
    For the third quarter of 2007, TI expects revenue to be in the
following ranges:
    -- Total TI, $3.49 billion to $3.79 billion;
    -- Semiconductor, $3.29 billion to $3.57 billion; and
    -- Education Technology, $200 million to $220 million.
    TI expects earnings per share to be in the range of $0.46 to $0.52.
    This estimate assumes that the sale of the company's broadband DSL
customer-premises equipment semiconductor product line will close at the
end of July. The EPS estimate does not include the expected gain on the
sale.
    In 2007, TI still expects: an annual effective tax rate of about 28
percent, R&D expense of about $2.2 billion, capital expenditures of about
$0.9 billion and depreciation of about $1.0 billion.

    Semiconductor

    -- Revenue in the second quarter was $3.26 billion.  This was an increase
       of 5 percent from the prior quarter due to higher demand for DSP,
       DLP(R) and analog products.  Compared with a year ago, revenue
       decreased 7 percent as higher demand for high-performance analog
       products was more than offset by declines across a broad base of other
       products.

          -- Analog product revenue of $1.27 billion was up 2 percent from the
             prior quarter due to increased demand for high-performance analog
             products.  Compared with the year-ago quarter, analog revenue
             decreased 3 percent as a decline in analog revenue for cell phone
             applications more than offset gains in high-performance analog
             revenue.  Revenue from high-performance analog products increased
             6 percent from the prior quarter and increased 11 percent from a
             year ago.
          -- DSP product revenue of $1.24 billion was up 7 percent from the
             prior quarter due to higher demand for products used in cell
             phone applications.  DSP product revenue declined 5 percent from
             a year ago due to lower demand for a broad range of products.
          -- TI's remaining Semiconductor revenue of $746 million was 5
             percent higher than the prior quarter primarily due to growth in
             DLP products and, to a lesser extent, standard logic products.
             Microcontrollers and RISC microprocessors were about even with
             the prior quarter while royalties declined.  TI's remaining
             Semiconductor revenue decreased 17 percent from the year-ago
             quarter primarily due to a decline in RISC microprocessor revenue
             and the royalty settlement in the year-ago quarter.  To a lesser
             extent, DLP products and standard logic products revenue also
             declined while microcontrollers were about even with the year-ago
             quarter.

    -- Gross profit was $1.71 billion, or 52.5 percent of revenue.  This was
       an increase of $82 million from the prior quarter due to higher
       revenue.  Gross profit declined $105 million from the year-ago quarter
       due to the combination of the royalty settlement and sales tax refund
       in the year-ago quarter, as well as lower revenue.
    -- Operating profit was $905 million, or 27.8 percent of revenue.  This
       was an increase of $74 million from the prior quarter due to higher
       gross profit.  It was a decline of $127 million from the year-ago
       quarter primarily due to the combination of the royalty settlement and
       the sales tax refund in the year-ago quarter.
    -- Semiconductor orders were $3.25 billion.  This was an increase of 6
       percent from the prior quarter due to higher demand across a broad
       range of analog and DSP products.  Orders declined 13 percent from the
       year-ago quarter due to broadly lower demand.


    Semiconductor Highlights

    -- TI delivered the industry's highest performance family of two- and
       four-channel analog-to-digital data converters.  The chips combine low
       power, high performance and speed in a space-saving package and are
       tailored for advanced communications, medical, video, imaging and
       instrumentation applications.
    -- TI introduced the industry's first location-detection system-on-chip
       solution for low-power ZigBee(R) wireless sensor networking
       applications such as asset and equipment tracking, inventory control,
       patient monitoring, and security and commissioning networks.
    -- Lenovo Mobile, China's leading handset manufacturer, selected TI's
       "LoCosto" single-chip platform for a new family of low-cost,
       multimedia-rich cell phones.


    Education Technology

    -- Revenue in the second quarter was $167 million.  This was an increase
       of $91 million from the prior quarter as retailers purchased
       calculators in preparation for the back-to-school season.  This was a
       decrease of $25 million from the year-ago quarter, as some major
       retailers delayed stocking calculator inventory until the third
       quarter, closer to the start of the school year.
    -- Gross profit was $109 million, or a record 65.1 percent of revenue.
       This was up $64 million from the prior quarter due to higher revenue.
       Gross profit decreased $10 million from the year-ago quarter due to
       lower revenue.
    -- Operating profit was $74 million, or 44.1 percent of revenue.  This was
       an increase of $58 million compared with the prior quarter due to
       higher gross profit.  It was a decrease of $10 million from the
       year-ago quarter due to lower gross profit.
    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"
