Summary
Texas Instruments (TXN) reported its third-quarter 2011 results, marked by a significant strategic acquisition and a general economic slowdown impacting revenue. Revenue for the quarter was $3.47 billion, a decrease from the prior year's $3.74 billion, reflecting softer demand across most markets. Net income also declined to $601 million from $859 million in the prior year, with diluted earnings per share at $0.51 compared to $0.71. The most impactful event of the quarter was the completion of the acquisition of National Semiconductor Corporation for $6.56 billion on September 23, 2011. This acquisition is expected to bolster TXN's Analog segment and expand its product portfolio. While the acquisition is a strategic positive, it also introduced significant acquisition-related costs and complexities, impacting the current quarter's profitability and balance sheet. The company also faced challenges from the Japan earthquake's impact on manufacturing, though recovery efforts were largely completed. Management noted ongoing economic uncertainty, but expressed confidence in their ability to gain market share in core businesses.
