Summary
Texas Instruments (TXN) reported third-quarter 2013 results with revenue of $3.24 billion and net income of $629 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. While revenue declined 4% year-over-year, this was primarily driven by the wind-down of legacy wireless products, with the core Analog and Embedded Processing segments showing strength. These key segments grew 7% year-over-year combined, now representing 80% of total revenue. The company achieved an all-time high gross margin of 54.8%, reflecting improved product mix and operational efficiency despite lower factory utilization. TXN demonstrated strong free cash flow generation, with $2.87 billion for the trailing twelve months, and continued its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through increased dividends and significant stock repurchases. The company's balance sheet remains robust with $3.6 billion in cash and short-term investments. Management expressed confidence in the long-term sustainability of its business model focused on Analog and Embedded Processing, its identified growth engines.
