Notes to financial statements

1. Description of business and significant accounting policies and practices

Business: At Texas Instruments (TI), we design and make semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. We have three reportable segments, which are established along major product categories as follows:

Analog – consists of high-performance analog (includes data converters, amplifiers and interface products), high-volume analog & logic and power management,

Embedded Processing – consists of digital signal processors (DSPs) and microcontrollers used in catalog, communications infrastructure and automotive applications, and

Wireless – consists of DSPs and analog used in basebands for handsets, OMAP™ applications processors and connectivity products for wireless applications.

In addition, we report the results of our remaining business activities in Other. Other includes DLP® products, calculators, reduced-instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessors, application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) products and royalties received for our patented technology that we license to other electronics companies. See Note 14 for additional information on our business segments.

Acquisitions – In the second quarter of 2009, we expanded our microcontroller portfolio by acquiring Luminary Micro for net cash of $51 million and other consideration of $7 million. We recognized $15 million of goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, $41 million of intangible assets, and $2 million of other net assets and liabilities. The former Luminary Micro operations were integrated into our Embedded Processing segment.
In the first quarter of 2009, we acquired CICLON Semiconductor Device Corporation (CICLON), a designer of high-frequency, high-efficiency power management semiconductors, for net cash of $104 million and other consideration of $7 million. We recognized $70 million of goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, $40 million of intangible assets, and $1 million of other net assets and liabilities. The former CICLON operations were integrated into our Analog segment.
In the second quarter of 2008, to obtain design expertise and technology, we made two acquisitions, both of which were integrated into our Analog segment, for net cash of $19 million. We recognized $2 million of goodwill and $13 million of intangible assets.
During 2007, to obtain design expertise and technology, we made three acquisitions, including an asset acquisition, for net cash of $87 million. The asset acquisition was integrated into our Wireless segment and the remaining two acquisitions were integrated into our Analog segment. We recognized $48 million of goodwill and $45 million of intangible assets.
With the exception of the asset acquisition, all acquisitions were accounted for as purchase business combinations. The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in our financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Pro forma information has not been presented for these acquisitions because it would not be materially different from amounts reported.

Dispositions – In July 2007, we completed the sale of our broadband digital subscriber line (DSL) customer-premises equipment semiconductor product line, which was included in Other, to Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon) for $61 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $39 million in cost of revenue.

Discontinued operations – Income from discontinued operations in 2007 of $16 million (or $0.01 per share) includes an income tax benefit related to a reduction of a state tax liability associated with the sale of our former Sensors & Controls business, which was renamed Sensata Technologies (Sensata).

Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The basis of these financial statements is comparable for all periods presented herein, except for the adoption of:

A new accounting standard on business combinations as of January 1, 2009, the impact of which was not significant, and
A new accounting standard on fair-value measurements for financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008, and for non-financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009, which primarily resulted in additional disclosures regarding fair-value measurements.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in the notes, except per-share amounts, are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All amounts in the notes reference continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates from which final results may vary.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 8
 
Revenue recognition: We recognize revenue from direct sales of our products to our customers, including shipping fees, when title passes to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order; when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Estimates of product returns for quality reasons and of price allowances (based on historical experience, product shipment analysis and customer contractual arrangements) are recorded when revenue is recognized. Allowances include volume-based incentives and special pricing arrangements. In addition, we record allowances for accounts receivable that we estimate may not be collected.
We recognize revenue from direct sales of our products to our distributors, net of allowances, consistent with the principles discussed above. Title transfers to the distributors at delivery or when the products are pulled from consignment inventory and payment is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. We also grant discounts to some distributors for prompt payments. We calculate credit allowances based on historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. For instance, we sell to distributors at standard published prices, but we may grant them price adjustment credits in response to individual competitive opportunities they may have. To estimate allowances for this type of credit, we use statistical percentages of revenue, determined quarterly, based upon recent historical adjustment trends.
We also provide distributors an allowance to scrap certain slow-moving or obsolete products in their inventory, estimated as a negotiated fixed percentage of each distributor’s purchases from us. In addition, if we publish a new price for a product that is lower than that paid by distributors for the same product still remaining in each distributor’s on-hand inventory, we may credit them for the difference between those prices. The allowance for this type of credit is based on the identified product price difference applied to our estimate of each distributor’s on-hand inventory of that product. We believe we can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner.
We determine the amount and timing of royalty revenue based on our contractual agreements with intellectual property licensees. We recognize royalty revenue when earned under the terms of the agreements and when we consider realization of payment to be probable. Where royalties are based on a percentage of licensee sales of royalty-bearing products, we recognize royalty revenue by applying this percentage to our estimate of applicable licensee sales. We base this estimate on historical experience and an analysis of each licensee’s sales results. Where royalties are based on fixed payment amounts, we recognize royalty revenue ratably over the term of the royalty agreement. Where warranted, revenue from licensees may be recognized on a cash basis.
We include shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue.

Stock-based compensation: We have several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 3. We account for all awards granted under those plans at fair value and estimate fair values for non-qualified stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions listed in Note 3.

Advertising costs: We expense advertising and other promotional costs as incurred. This expense was $42 million in 2009, $123 million in 2008 and $194 million in 2007.

Income taxes: We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. We record the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and the deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Other assessed taxes: Some transactions require us to collect taxes such as sales, value-added and excise taxes from our customers. These transactions are presented in our statements of income on a net (excluded from revenue) basis.

Earnings per share (EPS): In 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, Earnings per Share, that required us to calculate EPS using the two-class method beginning January 1, 2009. As a result, unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock units (RSUs), are considered to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, a portion of income from continuing operations or net income is allocated to these participating securities and, therefore, is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below. We have adopted the two-class method retroactively and, as a result, all prior period earnings per share data presented herein have been adjusted to conform to these provisions. The adoption of this standard resulted in a decrease of $.01 per share to the previously reported basic and diluted EPS for 2008 and a decrease of $.01 to the previously reported diluted EPS for 2007.

Options to purchase 135 million, 123 million and 46 million shares of common stock were outstanding during 2009, 2008, and 2007 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Investments: We present investments on our balance sheets as cash equivalents, short-term investments or long-term investments. More specific details are as follows:

Cash equivalents and short-term investments: We consider investments in debt securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We consider investments in liquid debt securities with maturities beyond three months from the date of our investment as being available for use in current operations, and include these investments in short-term investments. The primary objectives of our cash equivalent and short-term investment activities are to preserve capital and maintain liquidity while generating appropriate returns.

Long-term investments: Long-term investments consist of auction-rate securities (debt instruments with variable interest rates), mutual funds, venture capital funds and non-marketable equity securities.

Classification of investments: Depending on our reasons for holding the investment and our ownership percentage, we classify investments in securities as available-for-sale, trading, equity method or cost method investments, which are more fully described in Note 7. We determine cost or amortized cost, as appropriate, on a specific identification basis.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is generally computed on a currently adjusted standard cost basis, which approximates costs on a first-in first-out basis. Standard costs are based on the normal utilization of installed factory capacity. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. Inventory held at consignment locations is included in our finished goods inventory, as we retain full title and rights to the product.
We review inventory quarterly for salability and obsolescence. A specific allowance is provided for inventory considered unlikely to be sold. Remaining inventory includes a salability and obsolescence allowance based on an analysis of historical disposal activity. We write off inventory in the period in which disposal occurs.

Property, plant and equipment and other capitalized costs: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. We amortize acquisition-related intangibles on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the assets. Capitalized software licenses generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license. Fully depreciated or amortized assets are written off against accumulated depreciation or amortization.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 10
 
Impairments of long-lived assets: We regularly review whether facts or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying values of property, plant and equipment or other long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are impaired. We assess the recoverability of assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their respective carrying amounts. Any impairment charge is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is determined by available market valuations, if applicable, or by discounted cash flows (DCF).

Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise. We complete our annual goodwill impairment tests as of October 1 for our reporting units. The test compares the fair value for each reporting unit to its associated carrying value including goodwill.

Foreign currency: The functional currency for our non-U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Accounts recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured into the functional currency. Current assets (except inventories), deferred income taxes, other assets, current liabilities and long-term liabilities are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Inventories, and property, plant and equipment and depreciation thereon, are remeasured at historic exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts other than depreciation for each month are remeasured at the appropriate daily rate of exchange. Currency exchange gains and losses from remeasurement are credited or charged to other income (expense) net (OI&E).

Derivatives and hedging: We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. These instruments are primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are used as economic hedges to reduce the earnings impact exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures or for specified non-U.S. dollar forecasted transactions. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these forward foreign currency exchange contracts are credited or charged to OI&E. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign currency derivative instruments.

Changes in accounting standards: In June 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) became the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not create any new GAAP standards, but incorporated existing accounting and reporting standards into a new topical structure with a new referencing system to identify authoritative accounting standards, replacing the prior references to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), FASB Staff Position (FSP), etc. Authoritative standards included in the Codification are designated by their ASC topical reference, and new standards issued after July 1, 2009, are designated as Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs), with a year and assigned sequence number. References to prior standards have been updated to reflect the new system.
In October 2009, the FASB concurrently issued the following ASUs:

ASU No. 2009 – 14 - Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This standard removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and also provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product, such as embedded software, are within the scope of the software revenue guidance.
ASU No. 2009 – 13 - Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This standard modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services and support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction. This standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.

We expect to apply these standards on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011. We have evaluated the potential impact of these standards and expect they will have no significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

2. Restructuring activities

Costs incurred with restructuring activities generally consist of voluntary and involuntary severance-related expenses, asset impairments and other costs to exit activities. We recognize voluntary termination benefits when the employee accepts the offered benefit arrangement. We recognize involuntary severance-related expenses depending on whether the termination benefits are provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement or under a one-time benefit arrangement. We recognize involuntary severance-related expenses associated with an ongoing benefit arrangement once they are probable and the amounts are estimable. We recognize involuntary severance-related expenses associated with a one-time benefit arrangement once the benefits have been communicated to employees.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 11
 
Restructuring activities have also resulted in asset impairments, which are included in restructuring expense and are recorded as an adjustment to the basis of the asset, not as a liability relating to a restructuring charge. When we commit to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life, we accelerate the recognition of depreciation to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life. When an asset is held to be sold, we write down the carrying value to its net realizable value and cease depreciation.

2008 and 2009 actions
In October 2008, we announced actions to reduce expenses in our Wireless segment, especially our baseband operation. In January 2009, we announced actions that included broad-based employment reductions to align our spending with weakened demand. Combined, these actions eliminated about 3,900 jobs; they were completed in 2009.

2007 actions
In January 2007, we announced plans to change how we develop advanced digital manufacturing process technology. Instead of separately creating our own core process technology, we now work collaboratively with our foundry partners to specify and drive the next generations of digital process technology. Additionally, we stopped production at an older digital factory. These actions eliminated about 300 jobs and were completed in 2007.

The table below reflects the changes in accrued restructuring balances associated with these actions:

Total
  $ 186     $ 213     $ 280  

These amounts include expense related to non-qualified stock options, RSUs and to stock options offered under our employee stock purchase plan.
We issue awards of non-qualified stock options generally with graded vesting provisions (e.g., 25 percent per year for four years). In such cases, we recognize the related compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the minimum service period required for vesting of the award. For awards to employees who are retirement eligible or nearing retirement eligibility, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the longer of the service period required to be performed by the employee in order to earn the award, or a six-month period.
We also issue RSUs, which generally vest four years after the date of grant. In such cases, we recognize the related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Fair value methods and assumptions
We estimate the fair values for non-qualified stock options under the long-term incentive plans and director plans using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

We determine expected volatility on all options granted after July 1, 2005, using available implied volatility rates rather than on an analysis of historical volatility. We believe that market-based measures of implied volatility are currently the best available indicators of the expected volatility used in these estimates.
We determine expected lives of options based on the historical share option exercise experience of our optionees using a rolling 10-year average. We believe the historical experience method is the best estimate of future exercise patterns currently available.
Risk-free interest rates are determined using the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.
Expected dividend yields are based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and the current market price of our common stock at the time of grant. No assumption for a future dividend rate change is included unless there is an approved plan to change the dividend in the near term.
The fair value per share of RSUs that we grant is determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant.
The TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan is a discount-purchase plan and consequently, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is not used to determine the fair value per share of these awards. The fair value per share under this plan equals the amount of the discount.

Long-term incentive and director compensation plans
We have stock options outstanding to participants under the Texas Instruments 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Texas Instruments 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Texas Instruments 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Texas Instruments 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan. No further grants may be made under the 1996, 2000 or 2003 plans. We also assumed stock options granted under the Burr-Brown 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and the Radia Communications, Inc. 2000 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan. Unless the options are acquisition-related replacement options, the option price per share may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Substantially all the options have a 10-year term and vest ratably over four years. Our options generally continue to vest after the option recipient retires.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 13
        
We have RSUs outstanding under the 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of TI common stock on the vesting date, which is generally four years after the date of grant. Upon vesting, the shares are issued without payment by the grantee. RSUs generally do not continue to vest after the recipient’s retirement date.
Under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan approved by stockholders in April 2009, we may grant stock options, including incentive stock options, restricted stock and RSUs, performance units and other stock-based awards. The plan provides for the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of TI common stock. Shares issued under acquisition-related replacement awards do not count against the shares available for grant under the plan. In addition, if a stock-based award (other than an acquisition-related replacement award) under any predecessor plan terminates, the unissued shares subject to the award become available for grant under the 2009 plan.
Under our 2003 Director Compensation Plan, we made annual grants of stock options, RSUs and other stock-based awards to each non-employee director. Beginning in 2007, the plan provided for annual grants of 2,500 RSUs and of a stock option for 7,000 shares. The plan also provided for a one-time grant of 2,000 RSUs to each new non-employee director of TI. No further grants of stock-based awards may be made under the 2003 Director Compensation Plan.
In April 2009, our stockholders approved the Texas Instruments 2009 Director Compensation Plan. The plan permits the grant of stock options, RSUs and other stock-based awards to non-employee directors, as well as issuance of TI common stock upon the distribution of stock units credited to deferred-compensation accounts established for such directors. The plan provides for annual grants to non-employee directors, and for a one-time grant of RSUs to each new non-employee director, at the same levels described above under the 2003 plan. The plan provides for the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of TI common stock.

Stock option and RSU transactions under the above-mentioned long-term incentive and director compensation plans (including assumed stock options previously granted under the Burr-Brown and Radia Communications, Inc. plans) during 2009 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2009, the total future compensation cost related to unvested stock options and RSUs not yet recognized in the statements of income was $117 million and $139 million. Of that total, $118 million, $85 million, $48 million and $5 million will be recognized in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Employee stock purchase plan
Under the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan, options are offered to all eligible employees in amounts based on a percentage of the employee’s compensation. Under the plan, the option price per share is 85 percent of the fair market value on the exercise date, and options have a three-month term.
Options outstanding under the plan at December 31, 2009, had an exercise price of $22.11 per share (85 percent of the fair market value of TI common stock on the date of automatic exercise). Of the total outstanding options, none were exercisable at year-end 2009.

Employee stock purchase plan transactions during 2009 were as follows:

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted under the employee stock purchase plans during the years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $3.13, $3.37 and $5.10 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the total intrinsic value of options exercised under these plans was $10 million, $11 million and $11 million.

Effect on shares outstanding and treasury shares
Our practice is to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options generally from treasury shares and, on a limited basis, from previously unissued shares. We settled stock option plan exercises using treasury shares of 6,695,583 in 2009; 11,217,809 in 2008 and 39,791,295 in 2007; and previously unissued common shares of 93,648 in 2009; 85,472 in 2008 and 511,907 in 2007.
Upon vesting of RSUs, we issued treasury shares of 977,728 in 2009; 544,404 in 2008 and 515,209 in 2007; and previously unissued common shares of zero in 2009; zero in 2008 and 12,000 in 2007.

Effect on cash flows
Cash received from the exercise of options was $109 million in 2009, $210 million in 2008 and $761 million in 2007. The related net tax impact realized was ($2) million, $31 million and $204 million (which includes excess tax benefits realized of $1 million, $19 million and $116 million) in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

4. Profit sharing plans

Profit sharing benefits are generally formulaic and determined by one or more subsidiary or company-wide financial metrics. We pay profit sharing benefits primarily under the company-wide TI Employee Profit Sharing Plan. This plan provides for profit sharing to be paid based solely on TI’s operating margin for the full calendar year. Under this plan, TI must achieve a minimum threshold of 10 percent operating margin before any profit sharing is paid. At 10 percent operating margin, profit sharing will be 2 percent of eligible payroll. The maximum amount of profit sharing available under the plan is 20 percent of eligible payroll, which is paid only if TI’s operating margin is at or above 35 percent for a full calendar year.
We recognized $102 million, $121 million and $180 million of profit sharing expense under the TI Employee Profit Sharing Plan in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, net deferred income tax assets of $1.41 billion and $1.63 billion were presented in the balance sheets, based on tax jurisdiction, as deferred income tax assets of $1.47 billion and $1.69 billion and deferred income tax liabilities of $67 million and $59 million. The decrease in net deferred income tax assets from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009, exceeds the $146 million deferred tax provision primarily due to the recording of deferred tax assets associated with postretirement benefit costs recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). We make an ongoing assessment regarding the realization of U.S. and non-U.S. deferred tax assets. While these assets are not assured of realization, our assessment is that a valuation allowance is not required for the remaining balance of the deferred tax assets. This assessment is based on our evaluation of relevant criteria including the existence of (a) deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, (b) taxable income in prior carryback years and (c) expectations for future taxable income.
We have aggregate U.S. and non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards of approximately $289 million, of which $149 million expire through the year 2024.
Provision has been made for deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to the extent that dividend payments from these subsidiaries are expected to result in additional tax liability. The remaining undistributed earnings (approximately $3.06 billion at December 31, 2009) have been indefinitely reinvested; therefore, no provision has been made for taxes due upon remittance of these earnings. It is not practicable to determine the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these unremitted earnings.
Cash payments made for income taxes (net of refunds) were $331 million, $772 million and $733 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Uncertain tax positions: We operate in a number of tax jurisdictions and are subject to examination of our income tax returns by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these tax returns. Because the matters challenged by authorities are typically complex, their ultimate outcome is uncertain. We recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties as components of OI&E. Before any benefit can be recorded in the financial statements, we must determine that it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained by the appropriate tax authorities.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 17
 
The following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of uncertain tax positions for 2009 and 2008:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Balance, January 1
  $ 148     $ 137  
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year
    10       18  
Additions for tax positions of prior years
    6       17  
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
    (18 )     (24 )
Settlements with tax authorities
    (90 )      
Balance, December 31
  $ 56     $ 148  
Interest expense recognized in the year ended December 31
  $     $ 6  
Accrued interest (receivable) payable as of December 31
  $ (9 )   $ 11  

The liabilities for uncertain tax positions and accrued interest payable are a component of Deferred credits and other liabilities, and accrued interest receivable is a component of Other assets on our balance sheets.
During 2009, a $90 million payment was made in respect of U.S. tax return audits for the years 2003 through 2006 for all settled audit adjustments on which the adjustment amount had been agreed with the IRS. The audit adjustments had been previously reflected in our liability for uncertain tax positions and the payment had no income statement impact. Other U.S. tax audit issues for these years remain unresolved and subject to issue resolution processes. A $20 million tax interest payment was also made in 2009 for the interest liability that had been accrued on the same agreed U.S. tax audit adjustments.
The $56 million liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2009, represents tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. If these tax liabilities are ultimately realized, $28 million of deferred tax assets would also be realized, primarily related to refunds from counterparty jurisdictions resulting from procedures for relief from double taxation.
As of December 31, 2009, the statute of limitations remains open for U.S. federal tax returns for 1999 and following years. Our returns for the years 2000 through 2006 are the subject of tax treaty procedures for relief from double taxation; and our returns for the years 2003 through 2006 will be the subject of an appeals proceeding in 2010. Cases currently before the United States Tax Court could have an impact on the determination of our uncertain tax positions and the outcome of the 2010 appeals proceeding. It is reasonably possible that the appeals proceeding will be completed within the next 12 months.
In foreign jurisdictions, the years open to audit represent the years still subject to the statute of limitations. Years still open to audit by foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include Germany (2004 onward), France (2007 onward), Japan (2002 onward) and Taiwan (2004 onward).
We are unable to estimate the range of any reasonably possible increase or decrease in uncertain tax positions that may occur within the next 12 months resulting from the eventual outcome of the years currently under audit or appeal. However, we do not anticipate any such outcome will result in a material change to our financial condition or results of operations.

6. Financial instruments and risk concentration

Financial instruments: We hold derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, forward purchase contracts and investment warrants, the fair value of which is not material at December 31, 2009. Our forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2009, had a notional value of $465 million to hedge our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures (including $220 million to sell Japanese yen, $37 million to sell euros and $49 million to buy Taiwan dollars).
Cash equivalents, short-term investments, certain long-term investments, postretirement plan assets and deferred compensation liabilities are carried at fair value. The carrying values for other current financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

Risk concentration: Financial instruments that could subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. In order to manage our credit risk exposure, we place cash investments in investment-grade debt securities and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We also limit counterparties on forward foreign currency exchange contracts to investment-grade-rated financial institutions.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers in our customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. We maintain an allowance for losses based on the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. These allowances are deducted from accounts receivable on our balance sheets.

7. Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities

Debt and equity investments
We classify our investments as available-for-sale, trading, equity method or cost method. Most of our investments are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities consist primarily of money market funds and debt securities. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices, broker quotes or, when necessary, financial models (see fair value discussion below). We record other-than-temporary losses (impairments) on these securities in OI&E in our statements of income, and all other unrealized gains and losses as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our balance sheet.
Trading securities are stated at fair value based on market prices. Our trading securities consist exclusively of mutual funds that hold a variety of debt and equity investments intended to generate returns that offset changes in certain deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of our trading securities and the related deferred compensation liabilities in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in our statements of income.
Our other investments are not measured at fair value but are accounted for using either the equity method or cost method. These investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other non-marketable equity securities. Gains or losses from equity method investments are reflected in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results. Gains and losses on cost method investments are recorded in OI&E when realized or when an impairment of the investment’s value is warranted based on our assessment of the recoverability of each investment.

As of December 31, 2009, about 80 percent of our investments in the corporate obligations shown above are insured by either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the U.K. government.
As of December 31, 2009, unrealized losses included in AOCI were associated with auction-rate securities. As of December 31, 2008, unrealized losses included in AOCI were primarily associated with auction-rate securities and mortgage-backed securities. The change in unrealized losses from December 31, 2008, was due to increases in fair values of the investments held as well as the effects of redemptions and sales since that date.
As of December 31, 2009, we have determined that our investments classified as available-for-sale with unrealized losses are not other-than-temporarily impaired. We expect to recover the entire cost basis of these securities. We do not intend to sell these investments, nor do we expect to be required to sell these investments before a recovery of the cost basis. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we did not recognize in earnings any credit losses related to these investments.
Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities prior to their scheduled maturities were $1.37 billion, $1.76 billion and $2.12 billion in 2009, 2008 and 2007. Gross realized gains and losses from these sales were not significant.

The following table presents the aggregate maturities of investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2009:

Due
 
Fair Value
 
One year or less
  $ 2,259  
One to three years
    507  
Greater than three years (auction-rate securities)
    458  

Gross realized gains and losses from sales of other long-term investments were not significant for any periods presented. Other-than-temporary declines and impairments in the values of these investments recognized in OI&E were $14 million, $10 million and $18 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Fair value considerations
As noted above, we measure and report our financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The three-level hierarchy discussed below indicates the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair-value measurements.
Level 1 –
Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 –
Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data.
Level 3 –
Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models that utilize management estimates of market participant assumptions.
We own auction-rate securities that are classified as Level 3 assets. Auction-rate securities are debt instruments with variable interest rates that historically would periodically reset through an auction process. There is currently no active market for auction-rate securities, so we use a DCF model to determine the estimated fair value of these investments as of each quarter end. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model include estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and the rate of return required by investors to own these securities in the current environment. In making these assumptions we consider relevant factors including: the formula for each security that defines the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction; forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks specified in such formulas; the likely timing of principal repayments; the probability of full repayment considering the guarantees by the U.S. Department of Education of the underlying student loans and additional credit enhancements provided through other means; and, publicly available pricing data for student loan asset-backed securities that are not subject to auctions. Our estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own these securities also considers the reduced liquidity for auction-rate securities.
To date, we have collected all interest on all of our auction-rate securities when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. The principal associated with failed auctions will not be accessible until successful auctions resume, a buyer is found outside of the auction process, or issuers use a different form of financing to replace these securities. Meanwhile, issuers continue to repay principal over time from cash flows prior to final maturity, or make final payments when they come due according to contractual maturities ranging from 13 to 38 years. All of our auction-rate securities are backed by pools of student loans substantially guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education, and we continue to believe that the credit quality of these securities is high based on this guarantee.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 20
 
As of December 31, 2009, all of these securities had the highest possible long-term credit rating from at least one of the major rating agencies. One security (with a par value of $25 million) had a long-term credit rating below AAA/Aaa, and it was rated AAA/B3. While our ability to liquidate auction-rate investments is likely to be limited for some period of time, we do not believe this will materially impact our ability to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend payments or other business requirements.
The following are our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009, and 2008. These tables do not include cash on hand, assets held by our postretirement plans or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value.

9. Postretirement benefit plans

Plan descriptions: We have various employee retirement plans including defined benefit, defined contribution and retiree health care benefit plans. For qualifying employees, we offer deferred compensation arrangements.

U.S. retirement plans:
Principal retirement plans in the U.S. are qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans (all of which closed to new participants after November 1997), a defined contribution plan and an enhanced defined contribution plan. The defined benefit pension plans include employees still accruing benefits as well as employees and participants that no longer accrue service-related benefits, but instead, may participate in the enhanced defined contribution plan.
Both defined contribution plans offer an employer-matching savings option that allows employees to make pre-tax contributions to various investment choices, including a TI common stock fund. Employees who elected to continue accruing a benefit in the qualified defined benefit pension plans may also participate in the defined contribution plan, where employer-matching contributions are provided for up to 2 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings. Employees who elected not to continue accruing a benefit in the defined benefit pension plans, and employees hired after November 1997 and through December 31, 2003, may participate in the

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 22
 
enhanced defined contribution plan. This plan provides for a fixed employer contribution of 2 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings, plus an employer-matching contribution of up to 4 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings. Employees hired after December 31, 2003, do not receive the fixed employer contribution of 2 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, as a result of employees’ elections, TI’s U.S. defined contribution plans held shares of TI common stock totaling 29 million shares and 32 million shares valued at $759 million and $494 million, respectively. Dividends paid on these shares for 2009 and 2008 totaled $14 million each year.
Our aggregate expense for the U.S. defined contribution plans was $51 million in 2009 and $56 million in each of 2008 and 2007.
Benefits under the qualified defined benefit pension plan are determined using a formula based upon years of service and the highest five consecutive years of compensation. We intend to contribute amounts to this plan to meet the minimum funding requirements of applicable local laws and regulations, plus such additional amounts as we deem appropriate. The non-qualified defined benefit plans are unfunded and closed to new participants.

U.S. retiree health care benefit plan:
U.S. employees that meet eligibility requirements are offered medical coverage during retirement. We make a contribution toward the cost of those retiree medical benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. The contribution rates are based upon various factors, the most important of which are an employee’s date of hire, date of retirement, years of service and eligibility for Medicare benefits. The balance of the cost is borne by the plan’s participants. Employees hired after January 1, 2001, are responsible for the full cost of their medical benefits during retirement.

Non-U.S. retirement plans:
We provide retirement coverage for non-U.S. employees, as required by local laws or to the extent we deem appropriate, through a number of defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Retirement benefits are generally based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. Funding requirements are determined on an individual country and plan basis and are subject to local country practices and market circumstances.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, as a result of employees’ elections, TI’s non-U.S. defined contribution plans held TI common stock valued at $13 million and $10 million, respectively. Dividends paid on these shares of TI common stock for 2009 and 2008 were not material.

For the U.S. qualified pension and retiree health care plans, the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost is based upon a market-related value of assets. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the market-related value of assets generally utilizes a smoothing technique whereby certain gains and losses are phased in over a period of three years.

Information on plan assets
In 2008, we adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for reporting and measuring the plan assets of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans at fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we also began providing expanded disclosures, including information about our investment policies and strategies, significant concentrations of risk, and, similar to the disclosures in Note 7, plan assets by category and classification of plan assets by level within the fair value hierarchy.
The table below sets forth the fair value of our plan assets as of December 31, 2009, using the same three-level hierarchy of fair-value inputs described in Note 7.

The investments in our major benefit plans largely consist of low-cost, broad-market index funds to mitigate risks of concentration within market sectors. In recent years, our investment policy has shifted toward a closer matching of the interest-rate sensitivity of the plan assets and liabilities. The appropriate mix of equity and bond investments is determined primarily through the use of detailed asset-liability modeling studies that look to balance the impact of changes in the discount rate against the need to provide asset growth to cover future service cost. Most of our plans around the world have added a greater proportion of fixed income securities with return characteristics that are more closely aligned with changes in the liabilities caused by discount rate volatility. For the U.S. plans, we utilize an option collar strategy to reduce the volatility of returns on investments in U.S. equity funds.
The only Level 3 assets in our worldwide benefit plans are certain private equity limited partnerships in our U.S. pension plan and diversified hedge funds in a non-U.S. pension plan. These investments are valued using inputs from the fund managers and internal models.

In order to select a discount rate for purposes of valuing the plan obligations, an analysis is performed in which the projected cash flows from significant defined benefit and retiree health care plans are matched with a yield curve based on an appropriate universe of high-quality corporate bonds that are available in each country. In this manner, a present value is developed. The discount rate selected is the single equivalent rate that produces the same present value. This approach produces a discount rate that recognizes each plan’s distinct liability characteristics. Assumptions used for the non-U.S. defined benefit plans reflect the different economic environments within the various countries.
Assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets are based on future expectations for returns for each asset class and the effect of periodic target asset allocation rebalancing. We adjust the results for the payment of reasonable expenses of the plan from plan assets. We believe our assumptions are appropriate based on the investment mix and long-term nature of the plans’ investments.

We intend to rebalance the plans’ investments when they are not within the target allocation ranges. Additional contributions are invested consistent with the target ranges and may be used to rebalance the portfolio. The investment allocations and individual investments are chosen with regard to the duration of the obligations of each plan. Most of the assets in the retiree health care benefit plan are invested in a series of Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) trusts.

Weighted average asset allocations at December 31, are as follows:

The U.S. defined benefit plan at December 31, 2009, held a higher-than-normal amount of cash in anticipation of future benefit payments associated with the 2009 Voluntary Retirement Program. The majority of this cash will likely be paid out in 2010, and as these payments are made, the plan’s asset allocation will revert towards its target allocation weights. There are no significant restrictions on the amount or nature of investments that may be acquired or held by the plans. None of the plan assets related to the defined benefit pension plans and retiree health care benefit plan are directly invested in TI common stock. As of December 31, 2009, we do not expect to return any of the plans’ assets to TI in the next 12 months.
Contributions to the plans meet or exceed all minimum funding requirements. We expect to contribute to our retirement plans in 2010 as we have in recent years.

The following table shows the benefits we expect to pay to participants from the plans in the next ten years. Most of the payments will be made from plan assets and not company assets.

Increasing or decreasing health care cost trend rates by one percentage point would have increased or decreased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the U.S. retiree health care plan at December 31, 2009, by $21 million or $19 million and increased or decreased the service cost and interest cost components of 2009 plan expense by $1 million.

Deferred compensation arrangements
We have a deferred compensation plan, which allows U.S. employees whose base salary and management responsibility exceed a certain level to defer receipt of a portion of their cash compensation. Payments under this plan are made based on the participant’s distribution election and plan balance. Participants can earn a return on their deferred compensation based on notional investments in the same investment funds that are offered in our defined contribution plans.
As of December 31, 2009, our liability to participants of the deferred compensation plan was $154 million and is recorded in Deferred credits and other liabilities on our balance sheet. This amount reflects the accumulated participant deferrals and earnings thereon as of that date. No assets are held in trust for the deferred compensation plan and so we remain liable to the participants. To serve as an economic hedge against changes in market values of this liability, we invest in similar mutual funds that are recorded in long-term investments. We record changes in the fair value of the liability and the related investment in SG&A (see Note 7).

10. Debt and lines of credit

In 2007, we retired $43 million of 8.75% notes at maturity. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had no outstanding debt. We maintain lines of credit to support commercial paper borrowings, if any, and to provide additional liquidity through bank loans. As of December 31, 2009, we had a multi-year revolving credit facility under which a group of banks has committed $1 billion through August 2011, and $920 million thereafter through August 2012. These facilities would carry a variable rate of interest indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), if drawn. Our Japan subsidiary also has a revolving credit facility, expiring in November 2010, for an additional $175 million. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, both revolving credit facilities were undrawn, and no commercial paper was outstanding.
Interest incurred on loans in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was not material.

11. Commitments and contingencies

Operating leases: We conduct certain operations in leased facilities and also lease a portion of our data processing and other equipment. In addition, certain long-term supply agreements to purchase industrial gases are accounted for as operating leases. Lease agreements frequently include purchase and renewal provisions and require us to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Rental and lease expense incurred was $114 million, $124 million and $123 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Capitalized software licenses: We have licenses for certain internal use electronic design automation software that we account for as capital leases. The related liabilities are apportioned between Accounts payable and Deferred credits and other liabilities on our balance sheets, depending on the contractual timing of the payment.

Purchase commitments: Some of our purchase commitments entered in the ordinary course of business provide for minimum payments.

Summary: At December 31, 2009, we had committed to make the following minimum payments under our non-cancellable operating leases, capitalized software licenses and purchase commitments:

2014
    43       8       14  
Thereafter
    130             27  

Indemnification guarantees: We routinely sell products with an intellectual property indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, we have had only minimal, infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate or accrue for any future liabilities that may result.

Warranty costs/product liabilities: We accrue for known product-related claims if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the periods presented, there have been no material accruals or payments regarding product warranty or product liability. Historically, we have experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims, we do not believe they will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Consistent with general industry practice, we enter into formal contracts with certain customers that include negotiated warranty remedies. Typically, under these agreements our warranty for semiconductor products includes: three years coverage; an obligation to repair, replace or refund; and a maximum payment obligation tied to the price paid for our products. In some cases, product claims may exceed the price of our products.

General: We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Discontinued operations indemnity: In connection with the sale of the former Sensors & Controls business in 2006, we have agreed to indemnify Sensata for specified litigation matters and certain liabilities, including environmental liabilities. Our indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of representations and warranties and the specified litigation matters are generally subject to a total deductible of $30 million and our maximum potential exposure is limited to $300 million. We have not made any indemnity payments related to this matter and do not expect that any potential payments related to this indemnity obligation would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity in future periods.

12. Stockholders’ equity

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No preferred stock is currently outstanding.
Treasury shares acquired in connection with the board-authorized stock repurchase program in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were 45,544,800 shares, 77,162,667 shares and 147,645,809 shares.

14. Segment and geographic area data

Our financial reporting structure comprises three reportable segments. These reportable segments, which are established along major product lines having unique design and development requirements, are as follows:

Analog – Analog semiconductors change real-world signals – such as sound, temperature, pressure or images – by conditioning them, amplifying them and often converting them to a stream of digital data that can be processed by other semiconductors, such as DSPs. Analog semiconductors are also used to manage power distribution and consumption. Analog includes high-performance analog, high-volume analog & logic and power management products.

Embedded Processing – Our Embedded Processing products include our DSPs (other than DSPs specific to our Wireless segment) and microcontrollers. DSPs perform mathematical computations almost instantaneously to process or improve digital data. Microcontrollers are designed to control a set of specific tasks for electronic equipment. We make and sell standard, or catalog, Embedded Processing products used in many different applications and custom Embedded Processing products used in specific applications, such as communications infrastructure equipment and automotive.

Wireless – Cell phones require a modem or “baseband” to connect to the wireless carrier’s network. Many of today’s advanced cell phones, which contain email, media, games and computing capability, also require an applications processor to run the phone’s software and services, and semiconductors to enable connectivity to Bluetooth® devices, WiFi networks or GPS location services. We design, make and sell products to satisfy each of these requirements. Our Wireless portfolio includes both standard products and custom products.
 
We also have Other, which includes other operating segments that neither meet the quantitative thresholds for individually reportable segments nor are they aggregated with other operating segments. These operating segments primarily include our smaller semiconductor product lines such as DLP® products (primarily used in projectors to create high-definition images); RISC microprocessors (designed to provide very fast computing and are often implemented in servers); and, custom semiconductors known as ASICs. Other also includes handheld graphing and scientific calculators and royalties received for our patented technology that we license to other electronics companies.
Other may also include certain unallocated income and expenses such as gains and losses on sales of assets; sales tax refunds; and certain litigation costs, settlements or reserves. Except for the few unallocated items just mentioned, we allocate all of our expenses associated with corporate activities to our operating segments based on specific methodologies, such as percentage of operating expenses or headcount.
With the exception of goodwill, we do not identify or allocate assets by operating segment, nor does the chief operating decision maker evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. There was no significant intersegment revenue. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Texas Instruments Incorporated and subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 32
 
Report by management on internal control over financial reporting

The management of TI is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. TI’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements issued for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

TI management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the COSO criteria.

TI’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which immediately follows this report.

on internal control over financial reporting

The Board of Directors
Texas Instruments Incorporated

We have audited Texas Instruments Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Texas Instruments Incorporated’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report By Management On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Texas Instruments Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Texas Instruments Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 and our report dated February 23, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

The following should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes that appear elsewhere in this document. All dollar amounts in the tables in this discussion are stated in millions of U.S. dollars, except per-share amounts. All amounts in this discussion reference continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Overview
We design and make semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. We began operations in 1930. We are incorporated in Delaware, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and have design, manufacturing or sales operations in more than 30 countries. We have four segments: Analog, Embedded Processing, Wireless and Other. We expect Analog and Embedded Processing to be our primary growth engines in the years ahead, and we therefore focus our resources on these segments.
We were the world’s fourth largest semiconductor company in 2009 as measured by revenue, according to preliminary estimates from an external source. Additionally, we sell calculators and related products.

Product information
Semiconductors are electronic components that serve as the building blocks inside modern electronic systems and equipment. Semiconductors come in two basic forms: individual transistors and integrated circuits (generally known as “chips”) that combine multiple transistors on a single piece of material to form a complete electronic circuit. Our semiconductors are used to accomplish many different things, such as converting and amplifying signals, interfacing with other devices, managing and distributing power, processing data, canceling noise and improving signal resolution. Our portfolio includes products that are integral to almost all electronic equipment.
We sell custom and standard semiconductor products. Custom products are designed for a specific customer for a specific application, are sold only to that customer and are typically sold directly to the customer. The life cycles of custom products are generally determined by end-equipment upgrade cycles and can be as short as 12 to 24 months. Standard products are designed for use by many customers and/or many applications and are generally sold through both distribution and direct channels. They include both proprietary and commodity products. The life cycles of standard products are generally longer than for custom products.
Additional information regarding each segment’s products follows.

Analog
Analog semiconductors change real-world signals – such as sound, temperature, pressure or images – by conditioning them, amplifying them and often converting them to a stream of digital data that can be processed by other semiconductors, such as digital signal processors (DSPs). Analog semiconductors are also used to manage power distribution and consumption. Sales to our Analog segment’s nearly 80,000 customers generated about 40 percent of our revenue in 2009. According to external sources, the worldwide market for analog semiconductors was about $32 billion in 2009. Our Analog segment’s revenue in 2009 was $4.3 billion, or about 13 percent of this market, the leading position. We believe that we are well-positioned to increase our market share over time.
Our Analog product lines are: high-performance analog, high-volume analog & logic and power management.
High-performance analog products: These include standard analog semiconductors, such as amplifiers, data converters and interface semiconductors (our portfolio includes more than 15,000 products), that we market to many different customers who use them in manufacturing a wide range of products sold in many end markets, including the industrial, communications, computing and consumer electronics markets. High-performance analog products generally have long life cycles, often more than 10 years.
High-volume analog & logic products: High-volume analog includes products for specific applications, including custom products. The life cycles of our high-volume analog products are generally shorter than those of our high-performance analog products. End markets for high-volume analog products include communications, automotive, computing and many consumer electronics products. Logic and standard linear includes commodity products marketed to many different customers for many different applications.
Power management products: These include both standard and custom semiconductors that help customers manage power in any type of electronic system. We design and manufacture power management semiconductors for both portable devices (battery-powered devices, such as handheld consumer electronics, laptop computers and cordless power tools) and line-powered systems (products that require an external electrical source, such as computers, digital TVs, wireless base stations and high-voltage industrial equipment).

Embedded Processing
Our Embedded Processing products include our DSPs (other than DSPs specific to our Wireless segment) and microcontrollers. DSPs perform mathematical computations almost instantaneously to process or improve digital data. Microcontrollers are designed to control a set of specific tasks for electronic equipment. Sales of Embedded Processing products generated about 15 percent of our revenue in 2009. The worldwide market for embedded processors was about $14 billion in 2009. According to external sources, we have about 11 percent share in this fragmented market, and we believe we are well-positioned to increase our market share over time.
An important characteristic of our Embedded Processing products is that our customers often invest their own research and development (R&D) to write software that operates on our products. This investment tends to increase the length of our customer relationships because customers prefer to re-use software from one product generation to the next. We make and sell standard, or catalog, Embedded Processing products used in many different applications and custom Embedded Processing products used in specific applications, such as communications infrastructure equipment and automotive.

Wireless
Cell phones require a modem or “baseband” to connect to the wireless carrier’s network. Many of today’s advanced cell phones, which contain email, media, games and computing capability, also require an applications processor to run the phone’s software and services, and semiconductors to enable connectivity to Bluetooth® devices, WiFi networks or GPS location services. We design, make and sell products to satisfy each of these requirements. Wireless products are typically sold in high volumes, and our Wireless portfolio includes both standard products and custom products. Sales of Wireless products generated about 25 percent of our revenue in 2009, and a significant portion of our Wireless sales were to a single customer.
Our Wireless segment has shifted focus from baseband chips, a market with shrinking competitive barriers and slowing growth rates, to applications processors and connectivity products, markets we expect will grow faster than the baseband market. Consistent with this shift in market focus, we are concentrating our Wireless investments on our OMAPTM applications processors and connectivity products and have discontinued further development of standard baseband products. While we continue to sell custom baseband products, we have discontinued essentially all custom baseband investment. We expect substantially all of our baseband revenue, which was $1.73 billion in 2009, to cease by the end of 2012.

Other
Our Other segment includes revenue from sales from our smaller semiconductor product lines and of our handheld graphing and scientific calculators, as well as royalties received for our patented technology that we license to other electronics companies. The semiconductor products in our Other segment include DLP® products (primarily used in projectors to create high-definition images), reduced-instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessors (designed to provide very fast computing and often implemented in servers) and custom semiconductors known as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). This segment generated about 20 percent of our revenue in 2009.

Inventory
Our inventory practices differ by product, but we generally maintain inventory levels that are consistent with our expectations of customer demand. Because of the longer product life cycles of standard products and their inherently lower risk of obsolescence, we generally carry more of those products than custom products. Additionally, we sometimes maintain standard-product inventory in unfinished wafer form, allowing greater flexibility to meet final package and test configurations.
As a result of two multi-year trends, in general we expect to carry higher levels of inventory relative to our revenue expectations (commonly viewed by investors as days of inventory) than in past years. First, standard products have become a larger part of our portfolio. Second, we have increased consignment programs for our largest customers and some distributors and, as a result, we now carry more inventory on average than in the past in order to service the needs of these customers.

Manufacturing
Semiconductor manufacturing begins with a sequence of photo-lithographic and chemical processing steps that fabricate a number of semiconductor devices on a thin silicon wafer. Each device on the wafer is tested and the wafer is cut into pieces called chips. Each chip is assembled into a package that then may be retested. The entire process typically requires between 12 and 18 weeks and takes place in highly specialized facilities.
We own and operate semiconductor manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia and Europe. These include both high-volume wafer fabrication and assembly/test facilities. Our facilities require substantial investment to construct and are largely fixed-cost assets once in operation. Because we own much of our manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our operating cost is fixed. In general, these fixed costs do not decline with reductions in customer demand or utilization of capacity, potentially hurting our profit margins. Conversely, as product demand rises and factory utilization increases, the fixed costs are spread over increased output, potentially benefiting our profit margins.
The cost and lifespan of the equipment and processes we use to manufacture semiconductors varies by product. Our Analog products and most of our Embedded Processing products can be manufactured using older, less expensive equipment than is needed for manufacturing advanced logic products, such as our Wireless products. Advanced logic wafer manufacturing continually requires new and expensive processes and equipment. In contrast, the processes and equipment required for manufacturing our Analog products and most of our Embedded Processing products do not have this requirement.
To supplement our internal wafer fabrication capacity and maximize our responsiveness to customer demand and return on capital expenditures, our wafer manufacturing strategy utilizes the capacity of outside suppliers, commonly known as foundries. Our strategy involves installing internal wafer fabrication capacity to a level we believe will remain fully utilized over the equipment’s useful lifetime and then outsourcing remaining capacity needs to foundries. In 2009, external foundries provided about 55 percent of the fabricated wafers for our advanced logic manufacturing needs. We expect the proportion of our advanced logic wafers provided by foundries will increase over time. We expect to maintain sufficient internal wafer fabrication capacity to meet the vast majority of our analog production needs.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 37
 
In addition to using foundries to supplement our wafer fabrication capacity, we selectively use subcontractors to supplement our assembly/test capacity. We generally use subcontractors for assembly/test of products that would be less cost-efficient to complete in-house (e.g., relatively low-volume products that are unlikely to keep internal equipment fully utilized), or when demand temporarily exceeds our internal capacity. We believe we often have a cost advantage in maintaining internal assembly/test capacity.
Our internal/external manufacturing strategy reduces the level of our required capital expenditures, and thereby reduces our subsequent levels of depreciation below what it would be if we sourced all manufacturing internally. Consequently, we experience less fluctuation in our profit margins due to changing product demand, and lower cash requirements for expanding and updating our manufacturing capabilities.
In 2009, to expand our existing wafer fabrication capacity, we began installing equipment in the industry’s first 300-millimeter analog wafer factory, located in Richardson, Texas, and are currently qualifying for production. We also opened a new assembly/test facility in the Philippines to significantly increase our assembly/test capacity.

Product cycle
The global semiconductor market is characterized by constant, though generally incremental, advances in product designs and manufacturing processes. Semiconductor prices and manufacturing costs tend to decline over time as manufacturing processes and product life cycles mature. Typically, new chips are produced in limited quantities at first and then ramp to high-volume production over time. Consequently, new products tend not to have a significant revenue impact for one or more quarters after their introduction. In the results discussions below, changes in our shipments are caused by changing demand for our products unless otherwise noted.

Market cycle
The “semiconductor cycle” is an important concept that refers to the ebb and flow of supply. The semiconductor market historically has been characterized by periods of tight supply caused by strengthening demand and/or insufficient manufacturing capacity, followed by periods of surplus inventory caused by weakening demand and/or excess manufacturing capacity. This cycle is affected by the significant time and money required to build and maintain semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

Seasonality
Our revenue and operating results are subject to some seasonal variation. Our semiconductor sales generally are seasonally weaker in the first quarter than in other quarters, particularly for products sold into cell phones and other consumer electronics devices, which have stronger sales later in the year as manufacturers prepare for the major holiday selling seasons. Calculator revenue is tied to the U.S. back-to-school season and is therefore at its highest in the second and third quarters. Royalty revenue is not always uniform or predictable, in part due to the performance of our licensees and in part due to the timing of new license agreements or the expiration and renewal of existing agreements.

Tax considerations
We operate in a number of tax jurisdictions and are subject to several types of taxes including those that are based on income, capital, property and payroll, as well as sales and other transactional taxes. The timing of the final determination of our tax liabilities varies by jurisdiction and taxing authority. As a result, during any particular reporting period, we might reflect in our financial statements one or more tax refunds or assessments, or changes to tax liabilities, involving one or more taxing authorities.

Results of operations

2009 compared with 2008
Our 2009 revenue was $10.43 billion, net income was $1.47 billion and earnings per share (EPS) were $1.15.
During the year, despite a severe global economic downturn, we increased our focus on our core businesses of Analog and Embedded Processing. In addition, we completed actions that significantly reduced our costs. Our major actions during the year included implementing a voluntary retirement program and an involuntary reduction program, staffing Kilby Labs (a creative research facility in Dallas), acquiring two companies to support our Analog and Embedded Processing objectives and opening an assembly/test site located in the Philippines and the world’s first 300-millimeter analog wafer factory, located in Richardson, Texas, outfitting both with manufacturing equipment purchased in a weak market at extremely attractive prices. Although the downturn was one of the steepest we have experienced, we remained profitable. When market demand returned, our revenue growth surpassed the growth of most of our major competitors, and we achieved record high operating profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Details of 2009 financial results
Revenue in 2009 was $10.43 billion, down $2.07 billion, or 17 percent, from 2008. Revenue for all segments declined compared with the year-ago period. Growth resumed on a sequential basis in the second quarter of 2009 and on a year-on-year basis in the fourth quarter.
Gross profit was $5.00 billion, a decrease of $1.25 billion, or 20 percent, from 2008. This decline was due to lower revenue. About $160 million of the decline in gross profit resulted from lower factory utilization, with the vast majority of the underutilization expense incurred in the first half of 2009.
Operating expenses were $1.48 billion for R&D and $1.32 billion for SG&A. R&D expense decreased $464 million, or 24 percent, from 2008, with the largest impact in Wireless. SG&A expense decreased $294 million, or 18 percent, from 2008. The operating expense decreases in both comparisons were primarily due to the combination of the effects of our previously-announced employment reductions and, to a lesser extent, our other cost-control efforts throughout the year. For 2010, we expect R&D expense of about $1.5 billion.
Charges for restructuring actions were $212 million compared with $254 million in 2008. The restructuring charges in 2009 consisted of $201 million for severance and benefit costs and $11 million related to impairments of long-lived assets. This compared with restructuring charges in 2008 that consisted of $218 million for severance and benefit costs and $36 million related to impairments of long-lived assets. These actions eliminated about 3,900 jobs and were completed in 2009. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
Operating profit was $1.99 billion, or 19.1 percent of revenue, compared with $2.44 billion, or 19.5 percent of revenue, in 2008. This was an 18 percent decrease due to the decline in revenue and the associated lower gross profit. This decrease more than offset a reduction in operating expenses and lower restructuring charges. Operating profit decreased from 2008 in all segments.
Other income (expense) net (OI&E) was $26 million, a decrease of $18 million from 2008 due to lower interest income. The decrease in interest income from a year ago was due to lower interest rates, which more than offset higher average balances of interest-bearing investments. Additionally, we had expenses associated with former businesses in 2008 that did not recur in 2009.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 39
 
The tax provision was $547 million, compared with $561 million for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower income before income taxes, partially offset by lower discrete tax benefits, and to a lesser extent, a lower federal R&D tax credit. The tax provision for 2009 contained net discrete tax benefits of $7 million. The tax provision for 2008 contained net discrete tax benefits of $122 million, primarily resulting from our decision to indefinitely reinvest the accumulated earnings of a non-U.S. subsidiary. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for a reconciliation of tax rates to the statutory federal tax rate.
Our annual effective tax rate for 2010 is estimated to be about 31 percent, an increase from 27 percent in 2009 primarily due to higher income before income taxes. The estimated tax rate is based on the current tax law in effect and does not assume reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit, which expired on December 31, 2009.
Income from continuing operations was $1.47 billion, a decrease of $450 million from 2008. EPS for 2009 was $1.15 per share, compared with $1.44 per share for 2008. See Note 1 for a discussion of the effect of the adoption of a new accounting standard on previously reported EPS. EPS in 2009 benefited $0.05 from a lower number of average shares outstanding as a result of our stock repurchase program.
Orders were $11.36 billion, which was 4 percent lower than 2008. The decline reflected lower demand for baseband wireless products.

Analog revenue declined $587 million, or 12 percent, from 2008 primarily due to lower shipments of high-volume analog & logic products. Also contributing to the decline, but to a lesser extent, was high-performance analog, where although shipments were about flat compared with 2008, revenue fell due to a higher proportion of shipments of lower-priced products. Revenue from power management products was about flat.
Operating profit was $753 million, or 17.6 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $297 million from 2008 due to lower revenue and associated lower gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

These decreases more than offset higher shipments of connectivity products. Baseband revenue for 2009 was $1.73 billion, a decrease of $813 million, or 32 percent, from 2008.
Operating profit was $332 million, or 13.0 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $15 million, or 4 percent, from 2008 due to lower revenue and associated lower gross profit, partially offset by lower operating and restructuring expenses. As noted above, most of our reductions in R&D were in Wireless.

Operating profit for 2009 from Other was $712 million, or 33.5 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $60 million, or 8 percent, compared with 2008 due to lower revenue and associated lower gross profit, largely offset by lower operating expenses.

Prior results of operations

2008 compared with 2007
The year 2008 was marked by a dramatic decrease in global demand for semiconductors in the second half, a decline that accelerated in the fourth quarter. Given this significant change in the economy, we began to reduce costs and realign our expenses and inventory so that our financial performance would remain solid even in a period of prolonged economic weakness. We focused most of the cost reductions in our non-core product areas and internal support functions.

Details of 2008 financial results
Revenue was $12.50 billion, down $1.33 billion, or 10 percent, from 2007. As the year progressed and the global economy weakened, the decline in our revenue accelerated and broadened. In the fourth quarter, all segments experienced double-digit declines compared with the year-ago quarter.
Gross profit was $6.24 billion, or 50.0 percent of revenue, down 15 percent from $7.37 billion in 2007. This decline was due to lower revenue and, to a lesser extent, the impact of lower factory utilization resulting from our efforts to reduce inventory. About $140 million of the decline in gross profit resulted from lower factory utilization. The gross profit decline affected all segments. Gross profit in 2007 included a $39 million pre-tax gain on the sale of our broadband digital subscriber line (DSL) customer-premises equipment product line.
Operating expenses were $1.94 billion for R&D and $1.61 billion for SG&A. R&D expense decreased $200 million, or 9 percent, from 2007 due to the combination of expense reductions in Wireless and, to a lesser extent, the benefit from our collaborative work with foundries on advanced logic manufacturing technologies. We previously developed these manufacturing technologies almost exclusively in-house. SG&A expense decreased $66 million, or 4 percent, from 2007 due to the combination of lower compensation-related expenses and lower expenses for consumer advertisements for DLP high-definition television products.
Restructuring charges of $254 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008 included $121 million for a portion of the employment actions described above, $109 million for actions announced in October 2008 to re-focus our Wireless segment and $24 million for asset impairments related to an action announced in 2007 to shut down an older digital factory in connection with our decision to work with foundries on advanced logic manufacturing technology. The restructuring costs recognized consisted of $218 million for severance and benefit costs and $36 million related to impairments of long-lived assets. 2007 restructuring costs relating to the factory shutdown were $52 million, consisting of severance and benefit costs of $31 million and acceleration of depreciation on the factory’s assets of $21 million.

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 41
 
Operating profit was $2.44 billion, or 19.5 percent of revenue, compared with $3.50 billion, or 25.3 percent of revenue, in 2007. This was a 30 percent decrease due to the decline in revenue and the associated lower gross profit, the impact of underutilized manufacturing assets, and higher restructuring charges. These more than offset a reduction in operating expenses.
Other income (expense) net (OI&E) was $44 million, a decrease of $151 million from 2007 primarily due to lower interest income. The decrease in interest income from a year ago was primarily due to lower interest rates, and to a lesser extent, lower average interest-bearing investments.
The tax provision was $561 million, compared with $1.05 billion for 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower income before income taxes. The tax provision for 2008 contained net discrete tax benefits of $122 million, primarily resulting from our decision to indefinitely reinvest the accumulated earnings of a non-U.S. subsidiary. The tax provision for 2007 contained net discrete tax benefits of $28 million.
Income from continuing operations was $1.92 billion, a decrease of $721 million from 2007. EPS for 2008 was $1.44 per share, compared with $1.82 per share for 2007. The impact of restructuring costs reduced EPS by $0.12 per share in 2008 and by $0.02 per share in 2007. EPS in 2008 benefited $0.12 from a lower number of average shares outstanding as a result of our stock repurchase program.
Orders were $11.86 billion, which was 13 percent lower than 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2008, orders were $1.86 billion, which was 42 percent lower than in the third quarter of 2008. The declines in both periods reflected lower demand over a broad range of our products.

Analog revenue was about even with 2007 as growth in shipments of high-performance analog products was more than offset by a decline in shipments of high-volume analog & logic products.
Operating profit was $1.05 billion, or 21.6 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $498 million from 2007 due to lower gross profit, and to a lesser extent, higher operating expenses. Higher operating expenses were primarily due to continued investment in R&D and SG&A, reflecting the strategic importance of this segment to our future growth.

Embedded Processing revenue grew 3 percent compared with 2007 due to increased shipments during the earlier part of 2008, although revenue declined during the fourth quarter. The increase in revenue from 2007 was due to increased shipments of products for communications infrastructure applications, and to a lesser extent, catalog products. These increases more than offset lower revenue from a decline in shipments of products for automotive applications.
Operating profit was $268 million, or 16.5 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $22 million compared with 2007 due to higher restructuring charges.

Wireless revenue declined $812 million, or 19 percent, from 2007 primarily due to lower shipments of baseband products, and to a lesser extent, lower shipments of OMAP application processors. As announced in December 2006, LM Ericsson Telephone Company added a second supplier of 3G basebands for handset applications, which began to affect our results in the fourth quarter of 2007 and continued to do so in 2008.
Operating profit was $347 million, or 10.3 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $416 million from 2007 due to lower gross profit, and to a lesser extent, higher restructuring costs. These decreases were partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Revenue from Other was $2.63 billion in 2008. This was a decline of $495 million, or 16 percent, from 2007 due to, in decreasing order, a decrease in shipments across a broad range of products, the effect of the sale of our DSL customer-premises equipment product line in 2007 and lower royalties.
Operating profit for 2008 from Other was $772 million, or 29.3 percent of revenue. This was a decrease of $124 million compared with 2007 due to lower revenue.

Financial condition
At the end of 2009, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $2.92 billion, an increase of $385 million from the end of 2008.
Accounts receivable were $1.28 billion at the end of 2009. This was an increase of $364 million compared with the end of 2008. Days sales outstanding were 38 at the end of 2009, compared with 33 at the end of 2008. The increase in accounts receivable was the result of higher revenue experienced throughout the fourth quarter of 2009, compared with a sharp decline in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2008, particularly in December.
Inventory was $1.20 billion at the end of 2009, $173 million lower than a year ago, and days of inventory at the end of 2009 were 76, compared with 89 at the end of 2008. The higher days of inventory at the end of 2008 reflected sharply declining demand due to the global economic downturn.

Liquidity and capital resources
Our sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and revolving credit facilities.
Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations for 2009 was $2.64 billion, a decrease of $687 million from the prior year due to changes in accounts receivable.
We have $1.18 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $1.74 billion of short-term investments as of December 31, 2009. We have a multi-year $1 billion revolving credit facility, and we have a non-U.S. revolving credit facility of $175 million that expires in November 2010. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for additional information. As of December 31, 2009, these facilities were not being utilized.
In 2009, investing activities used $1.10 billion in cash, primarily for capital expenditures, and to a lesser extent, acquisitions. For 2009, capital expenditures were $753 million, about even with 2008. We used $155 million for acquisitions in 2009.
For 2009, net cash used in financing activities was $1.41 billion, compared with $2.43 billion in 2008. We used $954 million to repurchase 45 million shares of our common stock in 2009, compared with $2.12 billion used to repurchase 80 million shares of our common stock in 2008. Dividends paid in 2009 of $567 million, compared with $537 million in 2008, reflect the effect of increases in the quarterly dividend rate, partially offset by the lower number of shares outstanding. Employee exercises of TI stock options are also reflected in cash from financing activities. In 2009, these exercises provided cash proceeds of $109 million, compared with $210 million in 2008.
Cumulatively, our board of directors has authorized $20.0 billion in stock repurchases since September 2004. At year-end 2009, $2.6 billion of these authorizations remain.

(a)
Includes minimum payments for leased facilities and equipment, as well as purchases of industrial gases under contracts accounted for as operating leases.

(b)
Includes payments under license agreements for electronic design automation software.

(c)
Includes contractual arrangements with suppliers where there is a fixed non-cancellable payment schedule or minimum payments due with a reduced delivery schedule. Excluded from the table are cancellable arrangements. However, depending on when certain purchase arrangements may be cancelled, an additional $3 million of cancellation penalties may be required to be paid, which are not reflected in the table.

(d)
Includes the minimum contributions expected to be made during 2010. Funding projections beyond 2010 are not practical to estimate due to the rules affecting tax-deductible contributions and the impact from the plans’ asset performance, interest rates and potential U.S. and international legislation.

(e)
Includes an estimate of payments under this plan for the liability that existed at December 31, 2009.

(f)
Excluded from the table above are $56 million of uncertain tax liabilities. These amounts have been excluded because of the difficulty in making reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities.

Critical accounting policies
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use statistical analyses, estimates and projections that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures and may vary from actual results. We consider the following accounting policies to be both those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and that require the most subjective judgment. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates and projections, there could be a significant effect on our financial statements.

Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales of our products is recognized upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, the sales amount is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is reasonably assured. A portion of our sales is to distributors. We recognize revenue from sales of our products to distributors upon delivery of product to the distributors consistent with the above principles.
We reduce revenue based on estimates of future credits to be granted to customers. Credits include volume-based incentives, other special pricing arrangements and product returns due to quality issues. We also grant discounts to some distributors for prompt payments. Our estimates of future credits are based on historical experience, analysis of product shipments and contractual arrangements with customers and distributors.
Distributor revenue is recognized net of allowances, which are management’s estimates based on analysis of historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. These allowances recognize the impact of credits granted to distributors under certain programs common in the semiconductor industry whereby distributors receive certain price adjustments to meet individual competitive opportunities, or are allowed to return or scrap a limited amount of product in accordance with contractual terms agreed upon with the distributor, or receive price protection credits when our standard published prices are lowered from the price the distributor paid for product still in its inventory. Historical claims data are maintained for each of the programs, with differences among geographic regions taken into consideration. We continually monitor the actual claimed allowances against our estimates, and we adjust our estimates as appropriate to reflect trends in distributor revenue and inventory levels. Allowances are also adjusted when recent historical data do not represent anticipated future activity.

In addition, we monitor collectibility of accounts receivable primarily through review of the accounts receivable aging. When collection is at risk, we assess the impact on amounts recorded for bad debts and, if necessary, will record a charge in the period such determination is made.

Income taxes
In determining net income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments in the calculation of tax provisions and the resultant tax liabilities, and in the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.
In the ordinary course of global business, there may be many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of the ultimate resolution of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals.
As part of our financial process, we must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets can be recovered. If recovery is not likely, the provision for taxes must be increased by recording a reserve in the form of a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets that are estimated not to be ultimately recoverable. In this process, certain relevant criteria are evaluated including the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, the taxable income in prior years that can be used to absorb net operating losses and credit carrybacks, and taxable income in future years. Our judgment regarding future taxable income may change due to market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. These changes, if any, may require material adjustments to the deferred tax assets and an accompanying reduction or increase in net income in the period when such determinations are made.
In addition to the factors described above, the effective tax rate reflected in forward-looking statements is based on then-current tax law. Significant changes during the year in enacted tax law could affect these estimates.

Inventory valuation allowances
Inventory is valued net of allowances for unsalable or obsolete raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Allowances are determined quarterly by comparing inventory levels of individual materials and parts to historical usage rates, current backlog and estimated future sales and by analyzing the age of inventory, in order to identify specific components of inventory that are judged unlikely to be sold. Allowances are also calculated quarterly for instances where inventoried costs for individual products are in excess of market prices for those products. In addition to this specific identification process, statistical allowances are calculated for remaining inventory based on historical write-offs of inventory for salability and obsolescence reasons. Actual future write-offs of inventory for salability and obsolescence reasons may differ from estimates and calculations used to determine valuation allowances due to changes in customer demand, customer negotiations, technology shifts and other factors.

Impairment of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill
We review long-lived assets for impairment when certain indicators suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This review process primarily focuses on acquisition-related intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; and software for internal use or embedded in products sold to customers. Factors considered include the under-performance of an asset compared with expectations and shortened useful lives due to planned changes in the use of the assets. Recoverability is determined by comparing the carrying amount of long-lived assets to estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, an impairment charge would be recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash-flow technique. Additionally, in the case of assets that will continue to be used in future periods, a shortened depreciable life may be utilized if appropriate, resulting in accelerated amortization or depreciation based upon the expected net realizable value of the asset at the date the asset will no longer be utilized. Actual results may vary from estimates due to, among other things, differences in operating results, shorter useful lives of assets and lower market values for excess assets. Additionally, we review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise such as significant changes in business climate, operating performance or competition, or upon the disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. This review compares the fair value for each reporting unit containing goodwill to its carrying value.

Valuation of auction-rate securities
The fair value of our auction-rate securities is estimated using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model that requires inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect significant management judgment. Assumptions used in preparing the DCF model include estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and the rate of return required by investors to own these securities in the current environment. In making these assumptions, we consider relevant factors including: the formula

 
 

 
 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT n PAGE 45
 
for each security that defines the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction; forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks specified in such formulas; the likely timing of principal repayments; the probability of full repayment considering the guarantees by the U.S. Department of Education of the underlying student loans, guarantees by other third parties, and additional credit enhancements provided through other means; and, publicly available pricing data for recently traded student loan asset-backed securities that are not subject to auctions. Our estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own these securities also considers the current reduced liquidity for auction-rate securities. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for details of fair-value measurements.

Changes in accounting standards
See Changes in Accounting Standards in Note 1 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting and reporting standards that have not yet been adopted.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of December 31, 2009, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Commitments and contingencies
See Note 11 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of our commitments and contingencies.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

Foreign exchange risk
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for financial reporting. We use forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings impact exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. For example, at year-end 2009, we had forward currency exchange contracts outstanding with a notional value of $465 million to hedge net balance sheet exposures (including $220 million to sell Japanese yen, $37 million to sell euros and $49 million to buy Taiwan dollars). Similar hedging activities existed at year-end 2008.
Because most of the aggregate non-U.S. dollar balance sheet exposure is hedged by these forward currency exchange contracts, based on year-end 2009 balances and currency exchange rates, a hypothetical 10 percent plus or minus fluctuation in non-U.S. currency exchange rates would result in a pre-tax currency exchange gain or loss of approximately $2 million.

Interest rate risk
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had no debt. Therefore, our primary exposure to changes in interest rates is limited to the effects on the fair values of our investments in cash equivalents and short-term investments. The effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments has not been material during 2009 or 2008 due to the primarily short-term duration of our investments. A hypothetical increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the applicable interest rates associated with these investments as of year-end 2009 would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $10 million and an increase of approximately $5 million in the fair value of these securities, respectively (in the instance of falling rates, the hypothetical change in value assumes that no interest rate on any individual security could drop below zero). Because the coupon rates applicable to our auction-rate securities reset every 7, 28 or 35 days to maximum rates indexed to short-term interest rate benchmarks defined for each security, a change in the general level of interest rates is not expected to cause a significant change in the fair value of our long-term investments in those securities. While an increase in interest rates reduces the fair value of the investment portfolio, we will not recognize the losses in other income (expense) net unless the individual securities are sold prior to recovery or the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Equity risk
Long-term investments at year-end 2009 include the following:

Investments in mutual funds – includes mutual funds that were selected to generate returns that offset changes in certain liabilities related to deferred compensation arrangements. The mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments.
Investments in venture capital funds – includes investments in limited partnerships (accounted for under either the equity or cost method).
Equity investments – includes non-marketable (non-publicly traded) equity securities.

Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value. Changes in prices of the mutual fund investments are expected to offset related changes in deferred compensation liabilities such that a 10 percent increase or decrease in the investments’ fair values would not materially affect operating results. Non-marketable equity securities and some venture capital funds are stated at cost. Impairments deemed to be other-than-temporary are expensed in net income. Investments in the remaining venture capital funds are stated using the equity method. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for details of equity and other long-term investments.
