Filed July 29, 2009For Securities:TXN

Summary

Texas Instruments (TXN) reported its second quarter 2009 results, revealing a significant year-over-year revenue decline of 27% to $2.46 billion, reflecting the challenging global economic environment and its impact on semiconductor demand. Despite the revenue contraction, the company demonstrated resilience through sequential improvement, with revenue increasing 18% from the prior quarter, signaling a potential stabilization of market demand. Profitability also showed sequential recovery, with operating profit more than tripling from the first quarter. The company continued to focus on its core Analog and Embedded Processing segments, and strategically acquired Luminary Micro to bolster its microcontroller offerings. Cost management efforts, including workforce reductions, contributed to reduced operating expenses, helping to offset the impact of lower revenue and factory underutilization. While the year-over-year performance was down significantly, the sequential trends suggest a bottoming out of the downturn. TXN's financial position remains solid, with substantial cash and investments, and the company generated positive cash flow from operations. The company is actively managing inventory levels to align with demand and has reduced capital expenditures. Investors should monitor the pace of economic recovery and its impact on consumer and industrial demand for semiconductors.
