10    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

Business: Texas Instruments (TI) makes, markets and sells high-technology components; more than 50,000 customers all over the world buy our products. We have two reportable operating segments: Semiconductor, which accounted for 96 percent of our revenue in 2007, and Education Technology. Over time, Semiconductor averages a higher growth rate than Education Technology, although the semiconductor market is characterized by wide swings in growth rates from year to year. The former Sensors & Controls business has been reflected as discontinued operations (see below and Note 2).

Acquisitions – During 2007, we made three acquisitions, including an asset acquisition, for net cash of $87 million. These acquisitions were made to obtain design expertise and technology. These acquisitions were integrated into the Semiconductor business segment. As a result of these acquisitions, we recognized $48 million in goodwill and $45 million of other acquisition-related intangible assets.

In January 2006, we acquired 100 percent of the equity of Chipcon Group ASA (Chipcon), a leading company in the design of short-range, low-power wireless radio frequency semiconductors, based in Oslo, Norway, for net cash of $177 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination, and the results of operations of this business have been included in the Semiconductor segment of our consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded a $5 million charge for in-process research and development (R&D) in Corporate in 2006. We also recognized $115 million of goodwill and $86 million of other acquisition-related intangible assets, acquired $6 million of cash and assumed $29 million of other net liabilities. We also made an acquisition in the second quarter of 2006, primarily to obtain a patent portfolio. This acquisition was also integrated into the Semiconductor segment.

Pro forma information has not been presented for these acquisitions as it would not be materially different from amounts reported.

Dispositions – On July 31, 2007, we completed the sale of our broadband digital subscriber line (DSL) customer-premises equipment semiconductor product line to Infineon Technologies AG for $61 million and recognized in cost of revenue a pretax gain of $39 million in Corporate. Contingent consideration of up to $16 million may be received or may be required to be paid, depending upon the level of revenue generated by this product line subsequent to the closing date, which could increase or decrease the gain on sale. The resolution of the contingent consideration will be concluded by the third quarter of 2008.

In January 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of our Sensors & Controls segment, excluding the radio frequency identification (RFID) systems operations, to an affiliate of Bain Capital, LLC, a global private equity investment firm, for $3 billion in cash. The sale was completed on April 27, 2006. The operations and cash flows of the former Sensors & Controls business have been eliminated from our ongoing operations, and we have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the sold business. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, the former Sensors & Controls business has been presented as a discontinued operation (see Note 2 for detailed information on discontinued operations).

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 for income tax uncertainties as of January 1, 2007 (see the discussion in Note 12),

   

the adoption of a new accounting standard on pensions and other postretirement benefits as of December 31, 2006 (see the discussion in Note 10),

   

a change in depreciation method beginning January 1, 2006 (see Change in Depreciation Method below), and

   

the adoption of a new accounting standard for the expensing of stock options beginning July 1, 2005 (see Effects of Stock-based Compensation below and the discussion in Note 9).

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. Certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

   11


The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates from which final results may vary.

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. Net currency exchange gains and losses from remeasurement are credited or charged on a current basis to other income (expense) net.

Derivatives: We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign currency derivative instruments. These instruments are primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are used as economic hedges to minimize the impact to earnings from exchange rate fluctuations 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 on a current basis to other income (expense) net.

We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from sales of our products, including shipping fees, is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order. Estimates of returns for product quality reasons and of price allowances (calculated based upon historical experience, analysis of product shipments and contractual arrangements with customers), are recorded when revenue is recognized. Allowances include discounts for prompt payment, as well as volume-based incentives and special pricing arrangements. In addition, allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded for estimated amounts of accounts receivable that may not be collected.

Revenue from sales of our products to distributors is recognized, net of allowances, based upon delivery of the products to the distributors. At the time of delivery, title transfers to the distributors and payment from the distributors is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. Credit allowances for the distributors are calculated based on historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. For instance, we sell our products to distributors at standard published prices, but we may grant price adjustment credits to distributors 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 in distributor on-hand inventory, we may credit the distributors for the difference between those prices. The allowance for this type of credit is based on the identified product price difference applied to estimated distributor on-hand inventory of that product.

We believe we can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner.

Our contractual agreements with our intellectual property licensees determine the amount and timing of royalty revenue. Royalty revenue is recognized when earned according to the terms of the agreements and when realization of payment is considered probable by management. Where royalties are based upon licensee sales, we recognize royalty revenue upon the sale by the licensee of royalty-bearing products, as estimated by us based on historical experience and analysis of annual sales results of licensees. Where warranted, revenue from licensees may be recognized on a cash basis.

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue.

Advertising Costs: Advertising and other promotional costs are expensed as incurred. This expense was $194 million in 2007, $216 million in 2006 and $126 million in 2005.

 

12    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


Impairments of Long-lived Assets: Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether facts or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying values of property, plant and equipment or 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. Impairment, if any, 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.

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 the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. When it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes–An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 (see Note 12).

Other Assessed Taxes: In some transactions, we are responsible for collecting from our customers, taxes such as sales, value-added and excise taxes. These transactions are presented in our statements of income on a net (excluded from revenue) basis in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation).”

Options to purchase 46 million, 93 million and 82 million shares of common stock were outstanding during 2007, 2006 and 2005 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Effects of Stock-based Compensation: We have several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 9. Prior to July 1, 2005, we accounted for awards granted under those plans following the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No compensation cost was reflected in net income for stock options, as all options granted under the plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant (except options granted under employee stock purchase plans and acquisition-related stock option awards). Compensation cost has previously been recognized for restricted stock units (RSUs).

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” using the modified prospective application method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, includes the applicable amounts of: (a) compensation cost of all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and previously presented in pro forma footnote disclosures), and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS 123(R)).

The amounts of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the periods presented are as follows:

 

     2007    2006    2005  

Stock-based compensation expense recognized:

Total

   $   280      $   332    $   175  
        
        

The amounts above include the impact of recognizing compensation expense related to RSUs, non-qualified stock options and stock options offered under the employee stock purchase plans.

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 service period required to be performed by the employee in order to earn the award, but in no event less than a six-month period.

Stock-based compensation expense has not been allocated between business segments but is reflected in Corporate.

Prior Period Pro Forma Presentations:

Under the modified prospective application method, results for periods prior to July 1, 2005, have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS 123(R). The following pro forma information, as required by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” is presented for comparative purposes and illustrates the pro forma effect on income from continuing operations and related per-share amounts as if we had applied the original fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation for periods prior to implementation of SFAS 123(R).

Assumptions:

The fair values for the non-qualified stock options and stock options offered under the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan (both actual and pro forma) were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the weighted-average assumptions listed below. The TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan, which began October 1, 2005, is a discount-purchase plan. 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 is equal to the amount of the discount.

(a) Includes stock options under the long-term incentive plans and the director plans.

 

(b) Includes assumptions for the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan.

Expected volatility on all options granted after July 1, 2005, is determined solely on 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.

Expected lives of options are determined 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 has been included unless there is an approved plan to change the dividend in the near term.

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. With the adoption of SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,” effective January 1, 2006, standard costs are based on the normal utilization of installed factory capacity, which is not materially different from the optimal utilization rates previously used. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred.

We conduct quarterly inventory reviews for salability and obsolescence. A specific allowance is provided for inventory considered unlikely to be sold. Remaining inventory has a salability and obsolescence allowance based upon an analysis of historical disposal activity. Inventory is written off in the period in which disposal occurs.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Capitalized Costs: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Beginning in January 2006, these assets were depreciated using the straight-line method. Prior to January 2006, these assets were depreciated primarily using the 150 percent declining-balance method (see Change in Depreciation Method below). 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. Acquisition-related costs are amortized 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.

Change in Depreciation Method: Effective January 1, 2006, as a result of a study made of the pattern of usage of our long-lived depreciable assets, we adopted the straight-line method of depreciation for all property, plant and equipment. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 154, “ Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3,” which became effective as of January 1, 2006, a change in depreciation method is treated on a prospective basis as a change in estimate. Prior period results have not been restated. We believe that the change from the 150 percent declining-balance method to the straight-line method better reflects the pattern of consumption of the future benefits to be derived from those assets being depreciated and provides a better matching of costs and revenues over the assets’ estimated useful lives.

Long-term Investments: Long-term investments consist of marketable equity securities, non-marketable equity securities, venture capital funds and mutual funds. Cost or amortized cost, as appropriate, is determined on a specific identification basis.

Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, which is based on available market quotes. Adjustments to fair value of these investments are recorded as an increase or decrease, net of tax, in other comprehensive income except where losses are considered to be other-than-temporary, in which case the losses are recorded in other income (expense) net. Marketable equity securities are considered other-than-temporarily impaired if they have traded below their cost basis for more than six months.

Investments in non-marketable equity securities, primarily comprised of investments in early stage development companies, are stated at historical cost and are subject to a periodic impairment review. Any impairment considered other-than-temporary is recorded in other income (expense) net.

Investments in venture capital funds, generally representing limited partnership interests, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting where we have more than a 3 percent limited partnership interest and under the cost method of accounting where our limited partnership interest is less than 3 percent. For our investments accounted for under the equity method, our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the limited partnerships is recorded in other income (expense) net. Investments in venture capital funds are also subject to a periodic impairment review. Any impairment considered other-than-temporary is recorded in other income (expense) net.

Investments in mutual funds are classified as trading securities and are stated at fair value. These mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments and are intended to generate returns that offset changes in certain liabilities related to deferred compensation arrangements, thus they are classified as long-term investments. Adjustments to fair value of both the mutual funds and the related deferred compensation liabilities are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense (see Note 10 for a discussion of Deferred Compensation Arrangements).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: 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 operating segments, which have been designated as reporting units based on an analysis of economic characteristics and how we operate the business. This annual test is performed by comparing the fair value for each reporting unit to its associated book value including goodwill. For each of the periods presented, the fair value exceeded the carrying value, including goodwill, therefore no impairment was indicated.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives. Fully amortized intangible assets are written off against accumulated amortization.

Changes in Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another U.S. GAAP standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new

 

16    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


circumstances. This standard will also require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 will be effective for financial assets and liabilities in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and will be effective for non-financial assets and liabilities in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We have evaluated the potential impact of this standard and anticipate it will have no material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities–Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities choosing the fair value measurement would be required to recognize subsequent changes in the fair value of those instruments and other items directly in earnings. This standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. At this time, we do not anticipate electing to use the fair value measurements permitted by this standard.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.” EITF 06-11 provides for the recognition and classification of deferred taxes associated with dividends or dividend equivalents on non-vested equity shares or non-vested equity share units that are paid to employees and charged to retained earnings. This issue is effective for annual periods beginning after September 15, 2007. We have evaluated the potential impact of this standard and anticipate it will have no material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Also in June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities.” EITF 07-3 provides that non-refundable advance payments made for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities should be deferred and capitalized until such time as the related goods or services are delivered or are performed, at which point the amounts would be recognized as an expense. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We have evaluated the potential impact of this standard and anticipate it will have no material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB concurrently issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements–An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS 141(R) provides new guidance on the recognition, measurement and subsequent accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combination transactions. In addition, SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items in business combinations, including for example, expensing acquisition-related costs, recording acquired contingent liabilities/assets at their acquisition-date fair value and capitalization of in-process R&D costs. In the event that an entity owns less than 100 percent ownership interest, SFAS 160 provides for the recognition, measurement and subsequent accounting for the non-controlling (i.e., minority) interest included in the entity’s consolidated financial statements. Both of these standards require measurements based on fair value as determined under the provisions of SFAS 157. In addition, both of these standards also include expanded disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 will be effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs during or subsequent to the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact that adoption of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 will have on our financial position and results of operation will be dependent upon the specific terms of any applicable future business combinations or acquisitions of minority interests.

Also in December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property.” EITF 07-1 applies to collaborations between companies in which each participant is exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the venture’s commercial success, but which does not result in the creation of a legal entity separate from the participants. EITF 07-1 addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for these types of collaborative arrangements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on our financial position and results of operations.

2. Discontinued Operations

As discussed in Note 1, in 2006 we sold substantially all of the former Sensors & Controls segment.

The results of operations of the former Sensors & Controls business (which was renamed Sensata Technologies (Sensata)) are being presented as discontinued operations. The following summarizes results of the discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, included in the consolidated statements of income:

(a) Earnings per share amounts from continuing and discontinued operations may not add to net income per share due to rounding.

Total income from discontinued operations in 2007 includes an income tax benefit related to a reduction of a state tax liability associated with the sale.

Continuing Involvement: Upon closing of the sales transaction, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) with Sensata to provide various temporary support services that are reasonably necessary to facilitate the continuation of the normal conduct of business of the former Sensors & Controls business such as finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, warehousing and logistics, and records retention and storage. As of December 31, 2007, the provision of such services has been substantially completed, although certain information technology-related services may continue to be provided until April 2008. The fees for these services are generally equivalent to our cost.

Although the services provided under the TSA generate continuing cash flows between us and Sensata, the amounts are not considered to be significant to the ongoing operations of either entity. In addition, we have no contractual ability through the TSA or any other agreement to significantly influence the operating or financial policies of Sensata. Under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-13, “Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations,” we therefore have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the former Sensors & Controls business and have classified the historical results of that business as discontinued operations.

3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Investments in debt securities with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. We consider investments in debt securities with maturities or average lives beyond three months from the date of our investment as being available for use in current operations as needed and, as a result, we include those investments in short-term investments.

These investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, which is based on market prices or broker quotes. Adjustments to fair value are recorded as an increase or decrease, net of tax, in other comprehensive income except where losses are considered to be other-than-temporary, in which case the losses are recorded in other income (expense) net.

The primary objective of our cash equivalent and short-term investment activities is to preserve capital and maintain liquidity while generating appropriate returns. Our investment policy allows for only high-credit-quality securities. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 97 percent of our investments were rated AAA, Aaa, A-1 or P-1 by the major credit rating agencies, with most of the remaining 3 percent rated AA/Aa. The value and liquidity of these securities are affected by market interest rates generally, as well as the ability of the issuer to make principal and interest payments when due and the normal functioning of the markets in which these securities are traded. There were no material impairments of short-term investments or cash equivalents in the periods presented.

Our cash equivalents include investments in corporate and asset-backed commercial paper, U.S. government agency securities and money market funds. Asset-backed commercial paper is generally backed by pools of assets such as repurchase agreements, loans, receivables, and other assets, with the composition of assets subject to change over time. Our investments in asset-backed commercial paper at December 31, 2007, were in securities that are fully supported by financial institutions, and carried short-term credit ratings no lower than A-1/P-1 as of that date. Fully supported asset-backed commercial paper programs include contractual arrangements with highly-rated financial institutions that are designed to protect the investor from risks due to liquidity and the performance of the underlying assets.

Our short-term investments include auction-rate securities, which are variable rate debt instruments, having long-term maturity dates (typically 15 to 40 years), but whose interest rates are reset through an auction process, most commonly at intervals of 7, 28 and 35 days. Substantially all of our auction-rate securities are backed by pools of student loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education, and all were rated AAA/Aaa as of December 31, 2007. Our intent in these investments is not to hold these securities to maturity, but rather to use the periodic auction feature to provide liquidity (see Note 17).

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

All of the mortgage-backed securities we held as of December 31, 2007, were AAA-rated as of that date. About one half of these securities are guaranteed by a government-sponsored entity such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Government National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The remaining mortgage-backed securities were issued from 2003 through 2005 and are of a senior/subordinated structure in which we own the most senior bonds.

The following table presents the aggregate maturities or average lives of cash equivalents and short-term investments at year-end 2007:

(a) Maturities over 10 years are primarily auction-rate securities.

There were no unrealized gains on cash equivalents and short-term investments for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005. Unrealized losses were $14 million, $23 million and $25 million, respectively, for these time periods. Unrealized losses for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, were primarily associated with mortgage-backed securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. These unrealized losses are the result of increases in market interest rates rather than changes in the credit quality of the securities.

We have determined that our investment in these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired as we have the ability and intent to hold these investments until their value can be recovered, which may include holding them to their respective maturity dates. Through December 31, 2007, we have collected all principal and interest payable on these securities when due and expect to continue to do so.

Proceeds from sales of these securities before their maturity were $2.12 billion, $5.34 billion and $4.18 billion in 2007, 2006 and 2005. Gross realized gains and losses from the sales of these securities were immaterial for all periods presented.

All of our goodwill is attributable to our Semiconductor segment. There was no impairment of goodwill indicated during 2007, 2006 or 2005. The goodwill balances shown are net of total accumulated amortization of $221 million at year-end 2007 and 2006.

In 2007, we recognized additional goodwill of $48 million from acquisitions we made during the year, mostly for acquired workforce. We also recognized intangible assets associated with these acquisitions of $45 million, primarily for developed technology, to be amortized over three to five years. There were no in-process R&D charges associated with the 2007 acquisitions. Goodwill was reduced during 2007 by $2 million for the recognition of a deferred tax asset associated with our Chipcon acquisition.

In January 2006, we recognized $115 million of goodwill and $86 million of other acquisition-related intangible assets due to the acquisition of Chipcon.

The following table reflects the components of acquisition-related intangible assets, excluding goodwill, that are subject to amortization:

6. Debt and Lines of Credit

On April 2, 2007, we retired $43 million of 8.75% notes at maturity. As of December 31, 2007, we have no outstanding long-term debt.

In November 2005, in connection with the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings under provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA), our Japan subsidiary entered into a five-year syndicated credit agreement with a consortium of banks to borrow $275 million at a LIBOR-based variable rate. During the second quarter of 2006, the $275 million was prepaid. The agreement continues to provide a revolving credit facility for an additional $175 million that would carry a variable rate of interest, if drawn.

We also maintain lines of credit to support commercial paper borrowings and to provide additional liquidity through short-term bank loans. At December 31, 2007, we had a revolving credit facility under which a group of banks has committed $1 billion through August 2011, and $920 million thereafter through August 2012. This facility would carry a variable rate of interest, if drawn.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, both revolving credit facilities were undrawn and no commercial paper was outstanding.

Interest incurred on loans in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $1 million, $12 million and $14 million. Of these amounts, $5 million in both 2006 and 2005 were capitalized as a component of capital asset construction costs.

7. Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration

Financial Instruments: We have derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, forward purchase contracts and investment warrants, the fair values of which were not significant as of December 31, 2007 or 2006. Our forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2007, had a notional value of $487 million to hedge our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures (including $122 million to sell euros, $57 million to sell British pounds and $182 million to sell Japanese yen). Our forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2006, had a notional value of $268 million to hedge our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures (including $85 million to sell euros, $82 million to sell British pounds and $48 million to sell Japanese yen).

Also at December 31, 2007, we had a series of forward purchase contracts denominated in Philippine pesos to hedge specified forecasted transactions associated with the construction of a new assembly and test facility in the Philippines. These contracts are primarily intended to protect against exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Philippine peso during the estimated construction period. These contracts, which settle at various dates through January 2009, had an aggregate notional value of $65 million to buy a total of 2.67 billion pesos.

Short-term investments 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 the short maturity of such instruments.

Risk Concentration: Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts receivable. In order to manage our exposure to credit risk, 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.

 

22    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


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 upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. These allowances are deducted from accounts receivable balances. Details of these allowances are as follows:

8. Stockholders’ Equity

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock; however, no preferred stock is currently outstanding.

Each outstanding share of TI common stock carries one-fourth of a stock purchase right. Under certain circumstances, each right may be exercised to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of TI participating cumulative preferred stock for $200. Under certain circumstances following the acquisition of 20 percent or more of outstanding TI common stock by an acquiring person (as defined in the rights agreement), each right (other than rights held by an acquiring person) may be exercised to purchase the common stock of TI or a successor company with a market value of twice the $200 exercise price. The rights, which are redeemable by us at one cent per right, expire in June 2008.

In 2005, the TI board of directors authorized the repurchase of $4.0 billion of TI common stock. Since that time, the board of directors authorized additional repurchase amounts of $10.0 billion in 2006 and $5.0 billion in 2007. No expiration date has been specified for these authorizations. As of December 31, 2007, $5.57 billion of these authorizations remain. Treasury shares acquired in connection with the board-authorized stock repurchase program in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were 147,645,809 shares; 173,580,794 shares; and 154,143,706 shares.

In the third quarter of 2006, the board of directors increased our quarterly cash dividend (to $0.04 per share from $0.03 per share). In the second quarter of 2007, the board of directors doubled our quarterly cash dividend (to $0.08 per share). In the third quarter of 2007, the board of directors increased our quarterly cash dividend to $0.10 per share, and on October 18, 2007, declared a dividend at that quarterly rate.

9. Stock-based Compensation

Information in this note is inclusive of both continuing and discontinued operations, except as noted.

Long-term Incentive and Director Compensation Plans

We have stock options outstanding to participants under the Texas Instruments 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Texas Instruments 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan, but no further options may be granted under the 1996 plan. 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 on the date of the grant. Substantially all the options have a 10-year term and vest ratably over four years. Options generally provide for the continuation of vesting after the option recipient retires.

We have RSUs outstanding under the 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2003 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 subject to issuance without payment by the grantee.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

Under the 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, 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 120,000,000 shares of TI common stock. In addition, if any stock-based award under the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan terminates, then any unissued shares subject to the terminated award become available to be granted under the 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan. No more than 13,400,000 shares of common stock may be awarded as restricted stock, RSUs or other stock-based awards (other than stock options) under the plan.

Under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, we may grant stock options (other than incentive stock options), restricted stock and RSUs, performance units and other stock-based awards to non-management employees. The plan provides for the issuance of 240,000,000 shares of TI common stock. Executive officers and approximately 225 managers are ineligible to receive awards under this plan.

Under our 2003 Director Compensation Plan, we may grant stock options, RSUs and other stock-based awards to non-employee directors, as well as issue TI common stock upon the distribution of stock units credited to deferred-compensation accounts established for such directors. The plan provides for the grant of a stock option to each non-employee director once per year in the period from January 2004 through 2010. For the years 2001 through 2006, each grant is an option to purchase 15,000 shares with an option price equal to fair market value on the date of grant. Under the plan, we also make a one-time grant of 2,000 RSUs to each new non-employee director of TI. The plan provides for the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of TI common stock. Effective in 2007, the plan reduced the annual stock option grant to 7,000 shares and included an annual grant of 2,500 RSUs to each non-employee director.

Stock option and RSU transactions under the above-mentioned long-term incentive and director compensation plans during 2007 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2007, the total future compensation cost related to unvested stock options and RSUs not yet recognized in the statement of income was $216 million and $127 million. Of that total, $179 million, $106 million, $51 million and $7 million will be recognized in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

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.

The options outstanding under the Plan at December 31, 2007, had an exercise price of $27.50 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 2007.

Effect on Shares Outstanding and Treasury Shares

It has been our practice to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options generally from treasury shares and, on a limited basis, from previously unissued shares.

Stock option plan exercises were settled using treasury shares of 39,791,295 in 2007; 26,602,306 in 2006; and 31,997,416 in 2005. They also were settled using previously unissued common shares of 511,907 in 2007; 49,100 in 2006; and 53,855 in 2005.

Treasury shares issued upon vesting of RSUs were 515,209 in 2007 and 128,578 in 2006. No treasury shares were issued upon vesting of RSUs in 2005. Previously unissued common shares issued for RSUs in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were 12,000; 279,082; and 570,042.

Effect on Cash Flows

The total amount of cash received from exercise of options was $761 million in 2007, $418 million in 2006 and $461 million in 2005. The related net tax benefit realized was $204 million, $146 million and $132 million (which includes excess tax benefits realized of $116 million and $100 million in 2007 and 2006, and $59 million from the adoption date of SFAS 123(R) on July 1, 2005).

10. Postretirement Benefit Plans

On December 31, 2006, we adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” SFAS 158 required us to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as of December 31, 2006, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of tax. The adjustment to AOCI at adoption represented the recognition of previously unrecognized net actuarial losses and prior service costs, each of which were previously netted against the plans’ funded status in our balance sheets pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 87, “Employer’s Accounting for Pensions.” These amounts continue

 

26    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


to be recognized in future periods as a component of net periodic benefit cost consistent with our past practice. Actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs that arise in periods subsequent to December 31, 2006, are not recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost in the period incurred but are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. These amounts are subsequently recognized as a component of future net periodic benefit cost consistent with our past practice.

In addition, SFAS 158 requires that companies using a measurement date for their defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans other than their fiscal-year-end change to a fiscal-year-end measurement date effective for years ending after December 15, 2008. We chose to early adopt the measurement date changes as of December 31, 2006. Our non-U.S. plans previously used a September 30 measurement date.

The adoption of SFAS 158 had no effect on our consolidated statements of income or our consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2006, or for any prior period presented, and it will not affect our operating results in future periods.

Plan Descriptions: We provide various retirement plans for employees including defined benefit, defined contribution and retiree health care benefit plans, as well as deferred compensation arrangements for qualifying employees.

U.S. Retirement Plans:

The principal retirement plans in the U.S include qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans (all of which were closed to new participants after November 1997), a defined contribution plan and an enhanced defined contribution plan.

Both defined contribution plans offer an employer-matching savings option that allows employees to make pretax contributions to various investment choices, including a TI common stock fund. Employees who remain in the qualified defined benefit pension plan 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 remain in the defined benefit pension plan, and new employees hired after November 1997 and through December 31, 2003, may participate in the 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, may participate in the enhanced defined contribution plan, where employer-matching contributions are provided for up to 4 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, in accordance with the election of employees, TI’s U.S. defined contribution plans held shares of TI common stock totaling 33 million shares and 43 million shares valued at $1.11 billion and $1.23 billion. Dividends paid on these shares for 2007 and 2006 totaled $11 million and $6 million.

Our aggregate expense for employees under the U.S. defined contribution plans was $56 million in 2007, $56 million in 2006 and $53 million in 2005.

The 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 federal laws and regulations plus such additional amounts as we deem appropriate. The non-qualified plans are unfunded and closed to new participants.

During 2007, the U.S. defined benefit plans made $45 million in total benefit payments, primarily for the qualified pension plan. For comparison purposes, in 2006 the U.S. defined benefit plans made $124 million in benefit payments of which $119 million was accounted for as settlements and $5 million as benefits paid. During 2007, we made $3 million of non-qualified defined benefit payments.

U.S. Retiree Health Care Benefit Plan:

We offer access to group medical coverage during retirement to most of our U.S. employees. 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 participants in the plan. Employees hired after January 1, 2001, are responsible for the full cost of their medical benefits during retirement. During 2007 and 2006, we contributed $11 million and $91 million to the retiree health care plan.

Non-U.S. Retirement Plans:

Retirement coverage for non-U.S. employees is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through separate 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 subject to local country practices and market circumstances. During 2007 and 2006, we contributed $77 million and $143 million to our non-U.S. retirement plans.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, in accordance with the election of employees, TI’s non-U.S. defined contribution plans held 601,115 shares of TI common stock valued at $20 million and 661,409 shares valued at $19 million. Dividends paid on these shares for 2007 and 2006 were immaterial.

(a) The increase in settlement costs in 2006 is primarily due to an increase in lump sum distributions elected by retirees in 2006 as compared with previous years.

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.

The preceding tables present aggregate information for all plans reported. The following table presents the obligation and asset information for only those plans that have projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets or plans that have accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the 2007 amounts consist of our non-qualified plans, which are unfunded. For the non-U.S. defined benefit plans, the 2007 amounts consist primarily of the Taiwan plan. Additionally, the reduction in the projected benefit obligations for the non-U.S. defined benefit plans from 2006 to 2007 is the result of the Japan plan becoming fully funded.

The estimated amounts of unrecognized prior service cost and actuarial net loss included in AOCI as of December 31, 2007, that are expected to be amortized into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are: $1 million and $17 million for the U.S. defined benefit plans; $2 million and $8 million for the U.S. retiree health care plan; and ($3) million and $5 million for the non-U.S. defined benefit plans.

As of December 31, 2007, we do not expect to return any of the assets of the plans to TI during the next 12 months.

In order to select a discount rate for purposes of valuing the plan obligations and for fiscal-year-end disclosure, 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.

The ranges of assumptions used for the non-U.S. defined benefit plans reflect the different economic environments within the various countries.

Assumptions for expected long-term rate of return on plan assets are based upon future expectations for returns for each asset class and the effect of periodic target asset allocation rebalancing. The results are adjusted for the payment of reasonable expenses of the plan from plan assets. The historical long-term return on the plans’ assets has exceeded the selected rates, and we believe these assumptions are appropriate based upon the mix of the investments and the long-term nature of the plans’ investments.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

   31


Our rate of return assumption for the U.S. defined benefit plan reflects a decision to move gradually over several years to an asset allocation policy with less emphasis on equity investments. This allocation move is designed to better match the plan’s assets with the liability structure as the plan matures.

The table below shows target allocation ranges for the plans that hold a substantial majority of the defined benefit assets. The asset allocations for the retiree health care benefit plan are generally intended to represent the long-term targeted mix rather than a current mix.

Fixed income securities and cash

   25% - 50%    25%   40% -  70%

For the defined benefit plans, it is intended that the investments will be rebalanced when the allocation is not within the target range. 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 the plan. A portion of the retiree health care benefit plan assets are invested in an account within the pension trust and are invested in a like manner as the other pension assets. The majority of the assets in the retiree health care benefit plan are invested in a series of Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) trusts. For tax efficiency, the investments in the VEBA trusts are not rebalanced but additional contributions to the trusts may be used to reallocate the portfolio.

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

There are no significant restrictions on the amount or nature of the 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.

Contributions to the plans meet or exceed all minimum funding requirements. We expect to contribute approximately $50 million to U.S. retirement plans and approximately $70 million to non-U.S. retirement plans in 2008.

The following table projects the benefits expected to be paid to participants from the plans in the following ten years. The majority of the payments will be paid 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, 2007, by $14 million and the service cost and interest cost components of 2007 plan expense by $1 million.

Deferred Compensation Arrangements

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which allows certain highly compensated employees the option to defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus and profit sharing. Employees who participate in the deferred compensation plan can select one of eight distribution options offered by the plan. Payments are made after the employee terminates, based on their distribution election and plan balance. Participants can earn a return on their deferred compensation that is based on hypothetical investments in the same investment funds and TI common stock offered in our defined contribution plans. Changes in the market value of these participant investments are reflected as an adjustment to the liability for deferred compensation with an offset to compensation expense.

As of December 31, 2007, the liability to the participants of the deferred compensation plan was $199 million and is recorded in non-current liabilities. This amount reflects the accumulated participant deferrals and earnings thereon as of that date. We make no contributions to the deferred compensation plan and so remain liable to the participants. However, to serve as an economic hedge against the financial impact of changes in market values of these hypothetical investments, we invest in similar mutual funds and have entered into a forward purchase contract (explained below). Changes in the fair value of these mutual fund investments are recognized in compensation expense.

As no shares of TI common stock are actually held for the account of participants, as of December 31, 2007, we have a forward purchase contract with a commercial bank to acquire 550,000 shares of TI common stock at a fixed price of $32.37 per share at the end of the contract term or, at our option, to settle in cash with the bank. We are also able, at our discretion, to unwind all or part of this contract prior to the end of the contract term. The contract is intended to be an economic hedge to minimize the earnings impact from the effect of fluctuations in stock market prices on the portion of the deferred compensation plan obligations that are denominated in TI stock. The changes in the fair value of the forward contract are reflected in compensation expense. Since December 31, 2005, participants have been prohibited from directing any further transfers to the TI common stock portion of the hypothetical investments, so this hedge will remain at or below 550,000 shares of TI common stock in the future.

11. Profit Sharing and Savings Plans

We pay profit sharing benefits primarily under the TI Employee Profit Sharing Plan. Profit sharing benefits are generally formulaic and determined by one or more business or company-wide financial metrics. This plan provides for profit sharing to be paid based solely upon TI’s operating margin for the full calendar year. Under this plan, a minimum threshold of 10 percent operating margin must be achieved before any profit sharing is paid. Profit sharing at 10 percent operating margin will be 2 percent of eligible payroll. The maximum amount of profit sharing available under the plan is 20 percent of eligible payroll and would only be paid when TI’s operating margin meets or exceeds 35 percent for a full calendar year.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

We recognized $180 million, $149 million and $115 million of profit sharing expense under the TI Employee Profit Sharing Plan in 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Net deferred income tax asset

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the net deferred income tax assets of $1.12 billion and $1.32 billion were presented in the balance sheets, based on tax jurisdiction, as deferred income tax assets of $1.16 billion and $1.34 billion and deferred income tax liabilities of $49 million and $23 million. 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) future taxable income.

We have aggregate U.S. and non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards of approximately $215 million of which $27 million expire through the year 2025.

During 2005, we repatriated approximately $1.29 billion of non-U.S. subsidiary earnings that qualified under the AJCA and recognized a related tax expense of $55 million.

Provision has been made for deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to the extent that dividend payments from such companies are expected to result in additional tax liability. The remaining undistributed earnings (approximately $1.62 billion at December 31, 2007) have been indefinitely reinvested; therefore, no provision has been made for taxes due upon remittance of these earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not feasible.

Cash payments made for income taxes (net of refunds) were $733 million, $1.83 billion and $591 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

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 tax matters challenged by tax authorities are typically complex, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is uncertain.

Through December 31, 2006, in accordance with prior standards, we assessed the ultimate resolution of uncertain tax matters as they arose and established reserves for tax contingencies when we believed an unfavorable outcome was probable and the liability could be reasonably estimated.

As of December 31, 2006, we had tax reserves of $178 million and offsets of $76 million to certain of these tax reserves. These offsets were expected to be realized primarily through tax treaty procedures for relief from double taxation under applicable tax treaties with foreign tax jurisdictions or through the reduction of future tax liabilities. The net amount of the reserves and offsets was recorded primarily as a reduction of non-current deferred tax assets.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 differs from the prior standards in that it requires companies to determine that it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained by the appropriate taxing authorities before any benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.

As a result of adopting FIN 48, we reduced the tax reserves by $20 million, from $178 million to $158 million as of January 1, 2007. In addition, because FIN 48 requires that liabilities for uncertain tax positions be recorded as a separate liability, we reclassified the $158 million liability for uncertain tax positions from deferred tax assets to deferred credits and other liabilities.

As a result of the $20 million reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions, we recorded a $9 million decrease in the amount of accrued interest expense as of January 1, 2007. Our policy continues to be to recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties as components of other income (expense) net.

The decrease in tax reserves and the decrease in accrued interest expense both resulted in an increase to the January 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings.

The following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of uncertain tax positions for 2007:

   $   1  
        
  

Of the $137 million liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2007, $109 million represents tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. If these tax positions were recognized, $67 million of deferred tax assets primarily related to the procedures for relief from double taxation (as described above) would also be recognized.

As of December 31, 2007, the statute of limitations remains open for U.S. federal tax returns for 1999 and following years. Our returns for the years 2000 through 2002 are the subject of tax treaty procedures for relief from double taxation, our returns for the years 2003 through 2004 are the subject of an appeals proceeding and our return years 2005 through 2006 are currently under audit. It is reasonably possible that both the appeals proceeding and the audit will be completed within the next twelve 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 (2003 onward), France (2005 onward), Japan (2000 onward) and Taiwan (2002 onward).

 

36    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


Although we are unable to estimate the range of any reasonably possible increase or decrease in uncertain tax positions that may occur within the next twelve months from the eventual outcome of the years currently under audit or appeal, we do not anticipate such outcome will result in a material change to our financial position or results of operations.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Venture Capital Commitments: We have committed to provide additional capital to certain venture capital funds in which we have invested. As those venture capital funds enter into investments, their general partners may call for that committed additional capital. As of December 31, 2007, we have committed to provide up to $24 million if committed additional capital is called.

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 also 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 $123 million in 2007, $125 million in 2006 and $126 million in 2005.

Capitalized Software Licenses: We have licenses for certain electronic design automation software that are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The related liabilities are apportioned between current liabilities (accounts payable) and long-term liabilities (other liabilities) on our balance sheets.

Purchase Commitments: We have certain purchase commitments that are for normal usage, some of which contain provisions for minimum payments.

Summary: At December 31, 2007, we were committed to make the following minimum payments under operating leases, capitalized software licenses and purchase commitments:

2012

   37      —      18  

Thereafter

   149      —      100  

Indemnification Guarantees: We routinely sell products with a limited intellectual property indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, we have had only minimal and infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, any future liabilities resulting from the intellectual property indemnities cannot reasonably be estimated or accrued.

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, and historically we have experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Consistent with general industry practice, we enter into formal contracts with certain customers in which the parties define warranty remedies. Typically, under these agreements, our warranty for semiconductor products covers three years; 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 be disproportionate to 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 upon our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Discontinued Operations Indemnity: In connection with the sale of the former Sensors & Controls business, we have agreed to indemnify Sensata for certain specified litigation matters, as well as other 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. There were no significant liabilities recorded under these indemnification obligations.

15. Restructuring Activities

On January 22, 2007, we announced plans to change how we develop advanced digital manufacturing process technology. Instead of separately creating our own core process technology, we work collaboratively with our foundry partners to specify and drive the next generations of digital process technology. Additionally, we have stopped production at an older digital factory and are moving most of its manufacturing equipment into several of our analog factories to support greater analog output.

These actions are substantially complete and are expected to reduce R&D costs by about $150 million and cost of revenue by about $50 million annually. As a result of these changes, about 300 jobs were eliminated by year-end 2007.

Profit from operations for 2007 includes a charge of $52 million related to these actions, due to severance and benefit costs of $31 million and acceleration of depreciation on the facilities’ assets over the remaining service lives of $21 million.

Of the total restructuring charges for the period, $37 million is included in cost of revenue, $14 million is included in R&D expense and $1 million is included in SG&A. All amounts are reflected in Corporate.

As of December 31, 2007, $10 million has been paid to terminated employees for severance and benefits.

 

16. Segment and Geographic Area Data

We have two reportable operating segments: Semiconductor and Education Technology.

Our Semiconductor segment designs, manufactures and sells semiconductors, commonly called “chips.” Over the past decade, we have focused most of the resources of our Semiconductor segment on two areas – analog semiconductors and digital signal processors (DSPs). In 2007, about 80 percent of the segment’s revenue came from the combination of these two broad types of

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

   39


semiconductors. In general, analog semiconductors and DSPs convert and process signals very quickly. Products in our semiconductor portfolio are central to almost all electronic equipment including cell phones, computer equipment, communications infrastructure equipment, motor controls, automotive equipment and digital imaging systems such as front projectors and high-definition digital televisions. Semiconductor products are sold to original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original-design manufacturers (ODMs), contract manufacturers and distributors. An OEM designs and sells products under its own brand that it manufactures in-house or has contracted to other manufacturers. An ODM designs and manufactures products for other companies to sell under their respective brands. Distributors sell TI products directly to a wide range of customers. The semiconductor market is intensely competitive and is subject to rapid technological change, pricing pressures, and the requirement of high rates of investment for R&D and for the manufacturing factories and equipment needed to produce semiconductors. This segment represented 96 percent of our 2007 revenue.

Our Education Technology segment is the world’s leading supplier of handheld graphing calculators. This segment also provides customers with business and scientific calculators and a wide range of advanced classroom tools that help students and teachers explore math and science interactively. Education Technology relies on third-party manufacturers to build its products. The principal competitive factors are an understanding of the education market, technology expertise and price. Education Technology sells products primarily through retailers and instructional dealers. This segment represented 4 percent of our 2007 revenue.

Operating profits of these businesses exclude the effects of stock-based compensation, special charges and gains, and acquisition-related amortization, which are included in Corporate. The results for Semiconductor include the effects of all royalty revenue from semiconductor-related license agreements. Business assets are the owned or allocated assets used by each business.

Also included in Corporate are general corporate expenses and elimination of intersegment transactions (which are generally intended to approximate market prices). Assets of Corporate include unallocated cash; short-term investments; non-current investments; property, plant and equipment; and deferred income taxes.

Direct sales to the Nokia group of companies were 16 percent of our revenue in 2007 and 11 percent of our revenue in 2006 and 2005; if indirect sales such as to contract manufacturers are included, Nokia accounted for 19 percent, 15 percent and 16 percent of our 2007, 2006 and 2005 revenue.

 

17. Subsequent Event

As discussed in Note 3, our short-term investments include auction-rate securities, the interest rates of which are reset through an auction process, most commonly at intervals of 7, 28 and 35 days. The same auction process is designed to provide a means by which these securities can be sold, and historically has provided a liquid market for them.

As of December 31, 2007, we had $1.04 billion invested in auction-rate securities. As of mid-February 2008, we had sold down our holdings of these auction-rate securities to less than $575 million through the normal auction process.

In mid-February 2008, liquidity issues in the global credit markets resulted in the failure of auctions representing substantially all of the auction-rate securities we hold, as the amount of securities submitted for sale in those auctions exceeded the amount of bids.

Substantially all of our auction-rate investments are backed by pools of student loans 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. To date we have collected all interest payable on all of our auction-rate securities when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. For each unsuccessful auction, the interest rate moves to a maximum rate defined for each security, generally reset periodically at a level higher than defined short-term interest benchmarks. The principal associated with failed auctions will not be accessible until successful auctions occur, a buyer is found outside of the auction process, the issuers establish a different form of financing to replace these securities, or final payments come due according to contractual maturities ranging from 15 to 40 years. We understand that issuers and financial markets are working on alternatives that may improve liquidity, although it is not yet clear when or if such efforts will be successful. We expect that we will receive the principal associated with these auction-rate securities through one of the means described above.

While the recent auction failures will limit our ability to liquidate these investments for some period of time, we do not believe the auction failures will materially impact our ability to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend payments or other business requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

Texas Instruments Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Instruments Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007. 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, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation, depreciation, postretirement benefits, and income tax uncertainties effective July 1, 2005; January 1, 2006; December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2007, respectively.

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, 2007, 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 22, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT BY MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of TI is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate 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 time 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, 2007. 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, 2007, 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 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, 2007, 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, 2007, 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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and our report dated February 22, 2008 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

At Texas Instruments, we design, make and sell high-technology components; more than 50,000 customers all over the world buy our products. We have two business segments: Semiconductor and Education Technology. Semiconductor is by far the larger of these segments, accounting for 96 percent of our revenue in 2007. This segment sells integrated circuits, or semiconductors, to electronics designers and manufacturers, many of whom innovate rapidly and bring new products to market multiple times a year. Our Education Technology segment accounts for the remaining 4 percent of our revenue and sells calculators and related technologies to consumers and educators.

The details relevant to each segment are discussed below.

Semiconductor

Our Semiconductor segment invents and produces a variety of semiconductors, commonly called “chips.” These semiconductors are used to accomplish many different things, such as processing data, canceling noise, converting signals, improving resolution and distributing power. We are among the world’s largest semiconductor companies as measured by revenue, having been ranked in the top five for the past decade. Our Semiconductor segment can be affected by cyclical upturns and downturns characteristic of our markets, which sometimes cause wide swings in growth rates from year to year.

Products

Over the past decade, we have focused most of the resources of our Semiconductor segment on two areas – analog semiconductors and digital signal processors (DSPs). In 2007, about 80 percent of the segment’s revenue came from sales of these two broad types of semiconductors. In general, analog semiconductors and DSPs convert and process signals very quickly, enabling people to talk on a cell phone, hold a real-time videoconference over the Internet, or overcome deafness with a digital hearing aid, for example. Our portfolio includes products that are central to almost all electronic equipment.

Analog semiconductors are responsible for changing 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 so the signals can be processed by DSPs. Analog semiconductors also manage power distribution and consumption. Analog semiconductors can have long life cycles that reach into decades. We introduce hundreds of new types of analog semiconductors every year.

Our analog semiconductors can be put into two primary categories: custom products and standard products. Custom products are designed for specific applications for specific customers. Standard products are used by multiple customers, though some are used only in specific applications and some are used in many different applications. Almost all of our custom and standard products are proprietary in nature, which makes them difficult to copy or imitate. Both also typically deliver good gross margins, with margin on standard products being somewhat higher. While our analog portfolio is primarily comprised of custom and standard products, we also manufacture and sell another category of analog semiconductors known as commodity products. These are sold in high volume to a broad range of customers for use in many different applications. Commodity products, unlike custom and standard products, are easily imitated, which means differentiation is generally achieved by price and availability.

The size of the total market for analog semiconductors was about $36 billion in 2007, and we supplied an estimated 13 percent of this market. Our share of this market has increased over the past five years as we have expanded our portfolio with higher performance products and grown the size and reach of our sales force. We believe that with continued improvements and focus, we can keep increasing our share of the market for analog semiconductors.

DSPs are semiconductors that perform mathematical computations almost instantaneously with a high level of precision. They use complex algorithms to process and improve a stream of digital data. DSPs are ideal for applications that require precise, real-time processing, such as cell phone conversations or receiving digital radio transmissions. The processing speed and power efficiency of a

 

46    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


DSP are important characteristics that often indicate the advanced technical nature of the device. Our portfolio includes DSPs that are among the world’s fastest and most power-efficient.

Our portfolio of DSPs includes three categories of products: custom products, application-specific products and standard products. Custom products are designed for specific, individual customers with very high volumes in established markets. Application-specific products are designed for use by multiple customers in established and emerging markets. Standard products are sold into a broad range of applications and often seed the next generations of innovation in signal-processing equipment.

We are the world’s largest supplier of DSPs with an estimated 65 percent share of the market in 2007. Most of this revenue comes from custom DSPs.

A digital television broadcast provides an example of how analog semiconductors and DSPs work together in enabling modern electronic equipment. As a camera focuses on an event, its sensors and microphones send real-world signals to analog semiconductors, which condition and amplify the signals and convert the signals into digital data. A DSP then compresses and enhances the data for transmission as a television broadcast. Next, a television receives the broadcasted signal and its chips reverse the process, outputting the resulting sound and picture. Our portfolio of semiconductor products includes analog and DSP chips that are able to accomplish all of the processing steps described in real time.

Inventory

We strive to carry levels of inventory that let us meet our customers’ needs as well as fill orders when demand is unexpectedly strong. Having products when and where the customer needs them is an important element in gaining market share.

Our inventory practices vary by type of product. For standard products, where the risk of obsolescence is low, we generally carry higher levels of inventory. These products usually have many customers and long life cycles and are often ordered in small quantities. Standard product inventory is sometimes held in unfinished form, giving us greater flexibility to meet final package and test configurations. Examples of these products are high-performance analog, standard DSP and standard microcontrollers. (A microcontroller is a microprocessor designed to control a very specific task for electronic equipment.) For custom high-volume products, where the risk of obsolescence is higher, we carry lower levels of inventory when possible. These products usually have a single customer, are sold in high volumes and have comparatively shorter life cycles. Life cycles of these products are often determined by end-equipment upgrade cycles and can be as short as 12 to 24 months. Examples of these products are digital baseband processors for cell phones and custom application-specific analog and digital products. In addition, our inventory levels have generally increased over time due to the impact of consignment programs at our largest customers, our distributors’ desire to carry less inventory and our increased mix of standard products such as high-performance analog.

Manufacturing

We own and operate semiconductor manufacturing sites in North America, Asia and Europe. 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 costs is fixed. In general, these 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.

There is an inherent difference in the cost to manufacture analog semiconductors and DSPs. DSPs generally are on the leading edge of technology, and consequently, they require the most advanced and expensive manufacturing processes and equipment. Additionally, digital chips tend to evolve quickly to more advanced technology levels, requiring new production processes and new equipment every few years. As a result, maintaining an industry leadership position in digital manufacturing requires significant capital spending, along with investment in research and development, in order to develop new production processes and manufacturing capabilities. To reduce the dollars we must spend to produce digital chips, we manufacture some of our products at foundries that are owned and operated by outside parties. Foundries manufactured about 50 percent of our advanced digital chips in 2007.

In contrast to our DSPs, our analog semiconductors typically require a lower level of investment in manufacturing processes and equipment. While analog chips benefit from unique, proprietary manufacturing processes, these processes can be applied using older,

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

   47


less expensive equipment. In addition, these processes and equipment remain usable for much longer than digital manufacturing processes and equipment. Consequently, the level of capital and manufacturing research and development spending needed to support analog manufacturing is considerably less than is needed for an equivalent level of digital manufacturing. We manufacture a significant majority of our analog chips in our own factories.

In addition to using foundries to produce advanced digital chips, we determined in 2007 to work with foundries to develop the wafer fabrication manufacturing process technologies used in the production of digital chips. Such technologies historically were developed by us and a handful of other large semiconductor companies. But as foundries have become more sophisticated, they now can, and do, develop the same technologies, on the same schedule, with the same capabilities and quality. As a result, it is now more efficient and cost-effective for us to work collaboratively with foundries to develop new digital manufacturing process technologies and avoid duplication of research and investment. We substantially completed this shift in 2007 (see Note 15 to the Financial Statements for additional information about the impact of this shift). As we have decreased our spending on digital manufacturing research and development, we have increased spending on our analog manufacturing, where we remain able to differentiate our products through process technologies.

Education Technology

Our Education Technology segment is the world’s leading supplier of handheld graphing calculators. It also designs business and scientific calculators, as well as a wide range of advanced classroom tools that help students and teachers explore math and science interactively. Our products are marketed to consumers through retailers and to schools through instructional dealers. The Education Technology segment has an annual pattern of revenue that is tied to the back-to-school season. As a result, revenue is at its highest in the second and third quarters. This segment represented 4 percent of our revenue in 2007. Prices of Education Technology products tend to be stable.

Tax Implications

We operate in a number of tax jurisdictions and are subject to several types of taxes including those based on income, capital, property and payroll, and sales and other transactional taxes. The timing of the final determination of our tax liabilities varies among the various jurisdictions and their taxing authorities. As a result, during any particular reporting period, we might reflect (in either income before income taxes, the provision for income taxes, or both) one or more tax refunds or assessments, or changes to tax liabilities, involving one or more taxing authorities (see Note 12 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the effects of adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”).

Discontinued Operations

In January 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the former Sensors & Controls segment to an affiliate of Bain Capital, LLC for $3 billion in cash (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information). The sale was completed on April 27, 2006.

Results of Operations

2007 Compared with 2006

Our financial results for 2007 reflect our strong positions in analog and digital signal processing semiconductors.

Although revenue declined year over year, growth resumed in the fourth quarter of 2007 with a revenue increase of 3 percent from the same quarter a year ago. This growth was led by increased revenue from DSPs and high-performance analog products, which were up 12 percent each due to increased shipments resulting from higher demand. Our gross profit increased 10 percent and operating profit increased 30 percent from the same quarter a year ago, reflecting the quality of our product portfolio, the efficiency of our manufacturing strategies and our effective expense management.

For the year, cash flow from operations was a record $4.41 billion, and return on invested capital was more than 25 percent.

 

48    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


In 2007, we delivered more value to shareholders and built momentum with customers. Perhaps most important to our future performance, we sharpened our focus on analog with increases in dedicated research and development, sales support and manufacturing capacity. Evidence of our potential in this area was notable in high-performance analog where we made substantial market share gains again this year.

Details of 2007 Financial Results

Revenue was $13.83 billion, down $420 million, or 3 percent, from 2006. This decrease was primarily due to decreased shipments resulting from lower demand for reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessors (designed to provide very fast computing, typically for a specialized application such as servers) and DLP® products. In addition, although our revenue benefited from increased shipments resulting from higher demand for products used in cell phone applications, this benefit was insufficient to offset normal price declines for those products. The collective declines in these areas more than offset strong growth from high-performance analog products.

Gross profit was $7.33 billion, or 53.0 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $74 million from 2006 due to the combination of a greater percentage of revenue coming from more-profitable analog and DSP products, and continued manufacturing cost reductions.

Operating expenses were $2.15 billion for research and development (R&D) and $1.68 billion for selling, general and administrative (SG&A). R&D decreased $40 million from 2006 because we benefited from more efficient development of advanced digital manufacturing process technologies through our collaborative work with foundries. R&D was 15.6 percent of revenue in 2007, compared with 15.4 percent in 2006. SG&A for 2007 decreased $16 million from 2006. SG&A was 12.1 percent of revenue in 2007, compared with 11.9 percent a year ago.

Operating profit was $3.50 billion, or 25.3 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $130 million, or 4 percent, from 2006 primarily due to strong gross profit, and to a lesser extent, lower operating expenses.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

Other income (expense) net (OI&E) was $195 million, a decrease of $63 million primarily due to lower interest income. OI&E in 2006 included benefits from a refund of state sales tax and final settlement of matters related to grants from the Italian government regarding our former memory operations.

The tax provision for continuing operations was $1.05 billion, compared with $987 million for the prior year. The increase was due to the expiration of the tax benefit for export sales and, to a lesser extent, an increase in income before income taxes. These increases were partially offset by a benefit from changes in net discrete tax items. The tax provision for continuing operations for 2007 contained net discrete tax benefit items of $28 million. The tax provision for 2006 contained net discrete tax expense items of $14 million (see Note 12 to the Financial Statements for a reconciliation of tax rates to the statutory federal tax rate).

Our annual effective tax rate for 2008 is estimated to be about 31 percent, an increase from 29 percent in 2007. The forecasted 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, 2007.

Income from continuing operations was $2.64 billion, about the same as 2006. Earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.83, up 8 percent from 2006. The increase in earnings per share is due to fewer shares outstanding as a result of our stock repurchases. Average diluted shares outstanding decreased by 114 million shares from 2006, increasing earnings per share by $0.13. Our product portfolio now requires less capital spending than in past years, and it is comprised of higher-margin products. As a result, we have generated greater levels of cash that we have returned to shareholders through stock repurchases and increased dividends.

Income from discontinued operations was $16 million, compared with $1.70 billion in 2006, which included a $1.67 billion gain from the sale of our former Sensors & Controls business. Earnings per share from discontinued operations were $0.01, compared with $1.09.

Net income was $2.66 billion, or $1.84 per share, compared with $4.34 billion or $2.78 per share, in 2006.

Orders were $13.69 billion, down $327 million from 2006, due to lower demand for semiconductor products.

Semiconductor revenue was $13.31 billion, a decrease of $421 million, or 3 percent, from 2006. This decrease was primarily due to fewer shipments resulting from lower demand for RISC microprocessors and DLP products. In addition, although our revenue benefited from increased shipments resulting from higher demand for products used in cell phone applications, this benefit was insufficient to offset normal price declines for those products. The collective declines in these areas more than offset strong growth from high-performance analog products.

 

50    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


For analog products:

Annual revenue was $5.29 billion. This was an increase of 1 percent from 2006 primarily due to increased shipments resulting from strong demand for high-performance analog products that more than offset lower revenue due to decreased shipments resulting from lower demand for custom analog products sold into cell phone applications. Revenue from high-performance analog products grew 9 percent from 2006 and was about 45 percent of total analog revenue in 2007. High-performance analog growth was due to increased shipments resulting from higher demand for a broad range of products. The most significant area of strength was power management products. For the remainder of analog, the most significant area of strength was application-specific products sold into the hard-disk drive market.

For digital signal processing products:

Annual revenue was $5.07 billion, a decrease of 2 percent from 2006 primarily due to the divestiture of our DSL customer premises equipment product line in the third quarter of 2007, and to a lesser extent, declines in shipments resulting from lower demand across a broad range of markets.

For remaining product lines, revenue was $2.95 billion, down 12 percent from the prior year primarily due to lower demand for RISC microprocessors and, to a lesser extent, for DLP products. Revenue from microcontrollers increased due to higher shipments resulting from increased demand. In DLP products, revenue decreased 17 percent from 2006 primarily due to lower shipments resulting from lower demand for products used in high-definition TVs, and to a lesser extent, products for front projectors. Shipments of products for cinema projectors increased due to higher demand. Revenue changes from standard logic products and royalties were immaterial.

Semiconductor gross profit was $7.08 billion, or 53.2 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $30 million from the prior year primarily due to a greater percentage of revenue coming from more-profitable analog and digital signal processing products, and lower manufacturing costs.

Semiconductor operating profit was $3.88 billion, or 29.2 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $52 million from 2006 due about equally to higher gross profit and lower R&D expenses.

Semiconductor orders were $13.16 billion. This was a decrease of $329 million from the prior year due to lower demand across a broad range of semiconductor products.

End-equipment perspective:

On an end-equipment basis, revenue in 2007 from DSP and analog products sold into cell phone applications declined 3 percent from 2006 to $4.91 billion in 2007, due to normal price declines.

As announced in December 2006, LM Ericsson Telephone Company added another supplier of 3G basebands for handset applications. Ericsson’s addition of a second supplier began to affect our results in the fourth quarter of 2007. In July 2007, we announced a new engagement with Ericsson to provide both baseband and applications processor products. We believe this new engagement will begin to offset the revenue loss from Ericsson over time.

In total, we estimate that our 2007 Semiconductor product revenue came from the following broad markets: communications (including wireless and broadband communications) was about 50 percent; computing (including peripherals and computers) was about 25 percent; consumer electronics was about 10 percent; industrial was about 10 percent; and automotive was about 5 percent.

Operating profit was $208 million, or 39.4 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $8 million from the prior year due to greater gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expense.

Prior Results of Operations

2006 Compared with 2005

We delivered important financial achievements in 2006. Specifically, our semiconductor revenue grew more than one and a half times faster than the market, our earnings per share increased almost twice as fast as our revenue, and our return on invested capital expanded to 21.5 percent. Most important to these results was our high-performance analog product line, which grew revenue 33 percent and continued to raise the bar on gross margin for the entire company.

Details of 2006 Financial Results

For the year, our revenue grew 16 percent to $14.25 billion. Growth was driven primarily by strong demand for our analog products, especially high-performance analog, and DSP products.

Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $1.69 increased 30 percent from the prior year. EPS in 2006 included a full year of stock-option expense of $0.14 resulting in $0.07 of additional expense, compared with the prior year when stock-option expense was included for only six months.

Gross profit was $7.26 billion, or 50.9 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $1.24 billion, or 21 percent, from the prior year due primarily to higher revenue and, to a lesser extent, lower depreciation in the Semiconductor segment. Stock-based compensation expense in cost of revenue increased $32 million from the prior year.

R&D expense of $2.20 billion, or 15.4 percent of revenue, increased $209 million from the prior year due to higher investment in new semiconductor technology, particularly for wireless applications, and $48 million of additional stock-based compensation expense.

SG&A expense of $1.70 billion, or 11.9 percent of revenue, increased $226 million from the prior year primarily due to the combination of higher marketing expense in the Semiconductor segment, particularly for DLP product advertising, and $77 million of higher stock-based compensation expense.

 

52    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


Operating profit for the year was $3.37 billion, or 23.6 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $808 million, or 32 percent, due to higher gross profit in the Semiconductor segment.

OI&E of $258 million increased $62 million from 2005 primarily due to higher interest income. Interest income was $196 million in 2006, an increase of $31 million from the prior year, due to higher average interest rates earned on investments. Also contributing to higher OI&E were $20 million of benefits in 2006 from a refund of state sales tax and $17 million of higher income in 2006 than in 2005 from final settlement of matters related to grants from the Italian government regarding our former memory operations.

The tax provision for continuing operations for 2006 was $987 million, compared with $582 million for 2005. The increase in the tax provision from the year-ago period was due to the combination of, in decreasing order, higher income from continuing operations before income taxes, a change in net discrete tax items and the effect of non-U.S. tax rates.

The tax provision for continuing operations for 2006 contained net discrete tax expense items of $14 million. The provision for income taxes for 2005 contained net discrete tax benefit items of $92 million, primarily due to favorable developments on certain outstanding income tax matters. This was partially offset by an accrual for taxes on dividends from earnings that were repatriated from our non-U.S. subsidiaries under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA).

For the year, income from continuing operations was $2.64 billion, or $1.69 per share, compared with $2.17 billion, or $1.30 per share in 2005. Net income was $4.34 billion, or $2.78 per share. This includes $1.09 per share from discontinued operations, almost all of which was from the gain on the sale of our former Sensors & Controls business. Earnings per share for 2006 were based on 111 million, or 7 percent, fewer average shares outstanding, the result of our stock repurchase program.

For the year, our orders were $14.02 billion. This was an increase of $1.17 billion from 2005 primarily due to higher demand for our analog products.

Semiconductor revenue of $13.73 billion increased 16 percent from 2005 primarily due to increased product shipments resulting from higher demand for both analog, especially high-performance analog, and, to a lesser extent, DSP.

For the year, analog revenue increased 18 percent primarily due to increased shipments resulting from higher demand for high-performance analog products. Revenue from high-performance analog products increased 33 percent primarily due to market-share gains. In 2006, about 40 percent of total Semiconductor revenue came from analog.

DSP revenue increased 16 percent due to increased shipments resulting from higher demand for wireless products. About 40 percent of total Semiconductor revenue in 2006 came from DSP.

Remaining Semiconductor revenue increased 14 percent as increased shipments resulting from growth in demand for standard logic products, DLP products, RISC microprocessors and microcontrollers more than offset a decline in royalties.

During 2006, we signed new patent license agreements to replace agreements that had previously expired. In total, royalties in 2006 decreased by $87 million from 2005 due to the expiration of older agreements.

On an end-equipment basis, revenue from wireless products was up 16 percent from 2005 as 3G handset revenue grew about 50 percent from 2005 and sales to the low-priced handset market increased.

In DLP products, revenue increased 15 percent from 2005 primarily due to higher demand resulting in increased shipments of products for front projectors and, to a lesser extent, products for cinema projectors and high-definition televisions.

In total, we estimate that our 2006 Semiconductor product revenue came from the following broad markets: communications (including wireless and broadband communications) was about 50 percent; computing (including peripherals and computers) was about 25 percent; consumer electronics was about 10 percent; industrial was less than 10 percent; and automotive was about 5 percent.

Gross profit was $7.05 billion, or 51.3 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $1.28 billion, or 22 percent, from 2005 primarily due to higher revenue and, to a lesser extent, lower depreciation.

Operating profit was $3.83 billion, or 27.9 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $1.02 billion from 2005 due to higher gross profit.

For the year, Semiconductor orders were $13.49 billion. This was an increase of 9 percent due to higher demand for analog products.

Gross profit of $321 million, or 61.1 percent of revenue, increased $21 million from 2005 due to higher revenue, and, to a lesser extent, product cost reductions.

Operating profit was $200 million, or 38.0 percent of revenue. This was an increase of $12 million from 2005 due to higher gross profit.

Discontinued Operations

Revenue from the former Sensors & Controls business was $375 million in 2006 compared with $1.06 billion in 2005. Results for 2006 cover the period up to the date of the sale (April 27, 2006). Income from discontinued operations for 2006, which includes the $1.67 billion gain from the sale of the former Sensors & Controls business, was $1.70 billion, compared with $151 million in 2005 (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements for further discussion).

Financial Condition

At the end of 2007, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $2.92 billion, down $793 million from the end of 2006.

Accounts receivable were $1.74 billion at the end of 2007. This was a decrease of $32 million compared with the end of 2006. Days sales outstanding were 44 at the end of 2007, compared with 46 at the end of 2006.

Inventory was $1.42 billion at the end of 2007, $19 million lower than a year ago. Days of inventory at the end of 2007 were 78, compared with 75 at the end of 2006.

For the year, depreciation was $1.02 billion, compared with $1.05 billion in 2006. Despite lower revenue in 2007, depreciation held at 7.4 percent of revenue. Capital expenditures declined from 9.0 to 5.0 percent of revenue because of the increasing focus of our capital expenditures on analog products and our strategy of outsourcing a portion of our advanced digital production.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations. In addition, we have $1.33 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $1.60 billion of short-term investments as of December 31, 2007. Other sources of liquidity include a multi-year $1 billion revolving credit facility and a non-U.S. revolving credit facility of $175 million (see Note 6 to the Financial Statements for additional information). As of December 31, 2007, these facilities were not being utilized.

Cash flow from operations for 2007 was $4.41 billion, an increase of $1.95 billion from the prior year. In 2006, cash flows included income tax payments associated with the gain on the sale of the former Sensors & Controls business and investments we made to carry a higher level of inventory in order to improve our responsiveness to customers. Cash flows in 2007 included receipt of a $390 million payment associated with a tax refund from settlement of prior-year tax matters.

In 2007, investing activities provided $215 million in cash, compared with $3.09 billion in 2006. In 2006, we received cash proceeds from the sale of the former Sensors & Controls business of $3.00 billion.

For 2007, capital expenditures were $686 million, a decrease of $586 million from 2006 due to lower expenditures for both assembly and test equipment and advanced wafer fabrication equipment.

For 2007, net cash used in financing activities was $4.48 billion, compared with $5.57 billion in 2006. We used $4.89 billion of cash to repurchase 147 million shares of our common stock in 2007, compared with $5.30 billion used to repurchase 172 million shares of our common stock in 2006. Dividends paid in 2007 of $425 million, compared with $199 million in 2006, reflect the effect of increases in the quarterly dividend rate in the second and fourth quarters of 2007. The quarterly cash dividend rate was increased to $0.08 per share beginning with the dividend declared on April 18, 2007. The quarterly cash dividend rate was increased to $0.10 per share beginning with the dividend declared on October 18, 2007. The effect of the dividend rate increases on total dividends paid in 2007 was partially offset by the lower number of shares outstanding.

In April 2007, we retired $43 million of outstanding 8.75% notes upon maturity, compared with $586 million of debt retired in 2006.

Cash proceeds received from the exercise of employee stock options in 2007 were $761 million, compared with $418 million in 2006.

In 2007, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $5 billion of our common stock. Cumulatively, our board of directors has authorized $20 billion in stock repurchases since September 2004. At year end, $5.57 billion of these authorizations remain.

At the end of 2007, we had $1.04 billion of auction-rate securities; as of mid-February 2008, we had sold down our holdings of these auction-rate securities to less than $575 million through the normal auction process. Frequent auctions have historically provided a liquid market for auction-rate securities. However, in mid-February 2008, liquidity issues in the global credit markets caused auctions representing substantially all of the auction-rate securities we hold to fail because the amount of securities offered for sale exceeded the amount of bids. As a result, the liquidity of our remaining auction-rate securities has significantly diminished, at least so long as the present environment persists or until issuers refinance and replace these securities.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

   55


We believe the credit quality of our auction-rate securities remains high because of government guarantees backing the pools of loans underlying substantially all of those securities. We continue to collect interest when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. Additionally, we expect we will receive the principal through either future successful auctions, a sale of these securities outside the auction process, the issuers’ establishing a different form of financing to replace these securities or the maturing of the securities.

While the recent auction failures will limit our ability to liquidate these investments for some period of time, we do not believe the auction failures will materially impact our ability to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend payments or other business requirements (see Note 17 to the Financial Statements for additional information). However, if the illiquidity in this market persists for an extended period of time or extends to other credit markets, we could experience a material impairment of the value of these securities.

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

 

(b) Includes payments under license agreements for electronic design automation software (see Note 13 to the Financial Statements for additional information).

 

(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 $27 million of cancellation penalties may be required to be paid, which are not reflected in the table.

 

(d) Includes the contribution expected to be made during 2008. Funding projections beyond the current year are not practical to estimate due to the rules affecting tax-deductible contributions and the impact from the plan 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, 2007. Certain employees can elect to defer a portion of their salary, bonus and profit sharing into a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Employees who participate in the plan can select one of eight distribution options offered by the plan. Payments are made after the employee terminates, in accordance with the employee’s distribution election.

 

(f) Includes commitments of additional capital made as part of our investments in certain venture capital funds. As those funds enter into their own investments, their general partners may call for that committed additional capital. Because the timing of these commitments is unknown, the amount shown assumes the immediate call of maximum commitment amounts.

 

(g) Excluded from the table above are $137 million of uncertain tax liabilities under FIN 48. 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.

We believe we have the necessary financial resources to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend payments and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

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.

 

56    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


We reduce revenue based on estimates of future credits to be granted to customers. Credits are granted for reasons such as prompt payment discounts, volume-based incentives, other special pricing arrangements and product returns due to quality issues. Our estimates of future credits are based on historical experience, analysis of product shipments and contractual arrangements with customers.

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 their 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.

Our contractual agreements with our intellectual property licensees determine the amount and timing of royalty revenue. Royalty revenue is recognized when earned according to the terms of the agreement and when realization of payment is considered probable by management. Where royalties are based upon licensee sales, we recognize royalty revenue upon the sale by the licensee of royalty-bearing products, as estimated by us, based on historical experience and analysis of annual sales results of licensees. Estimates are periodically adjusted as a result of reviews of reported results of licensees, which reviews may take the form of independent audits. Where warranted, revenue from licensees may be recognized on a cash basis.

In addition, we monitor collectibility of accounts receivable primarily through review of the accounts receivable aging. When facts and circumstances indicate the collection of specific amounts or from specific customers 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.

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. Inventory is written off in the period in which disposal occurs. 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.

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.

 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

   57


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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment when certain indicators suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This review process primarily focuses on intangible assets from business acquisitions; 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.

Changes in Accounting Standards

See Note 12 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the impact of adopting FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes–An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.

See Changes in Accounting Standards in Note 1 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of additional changes.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2007, 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 13 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 minimize the adverse earnings impact from the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. For example, at year-end 2007, we had forward currency exchange contracts outstanding with a notional value of $487 million to hedge net balance sheet exposures (including $122 million to sell euros, $57 million to sell British pounds and $182 million to sell Japanese yen). Similar hedging activities existed at year-end 2006.

 

58    TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2007 ANNUAL REPORT


At December 31, 2007, we also had a series of forward currency exchange contracts denominated in Philippine pesos to hedge specified forecasted transactions associated with the construction of a new assembly and test facility in the Philippines. These contracts are primarily intended to protect against exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Philippine peso during the estimated construction period. These contracts, which settle at various dates through January 2009, had an aggregate notional value of $65 million to buy a total of 2.67 billion pesos.

Because most of the aggregate non-U.S. dollar balance sheet exposure is hedged by these forward currency exchange contracts, based on year-end 2007 balances and rates, a hypothetical 10 percent plus or minus fluctuation in non-U.S. currency exchange rates would result in a pretax currency exchange gain or loss of approximately $2 million.

Risks Associated with Cash and Short-term Investments

The primary objective of our cash equivalents and short-term investments is to preserve capital and maintain liquidity while generating appropriate returns. Our investment policy allows for only high-credit-quality securities. We assess these securities at the time of investment and review them periodically for any indications of changes in credit quality. The value and liquidity of these securities is affected by market interest rates generally, the ability of the issuer to make principal and interest payments when due, and the normal functioning of the markets in which these securities are sold (see Notes 3 and 17 to the Financial Statements for additional information).

Our cash equivalents are debt securities with original maturities equal to or less than three months. In general, these investments are not subject to material interest rate risk because of their short duration to maturity. Our short-term investments are debt securities with original maturities greater than three months. The fair values of certain short-term investments, because of their longer durations, can vary more significantly due to interest rate fluctuations.

The effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments has not been material during 2006 or 2007 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 2007 would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $12 million and an increase of approximately $11 million in the fair value of these securities, respectively. 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

Equity and other long-term investments at year-end 2007 consisted of the following:

 

   

Equity investments – includes marketable (publicly traded) and non-marketable (non-publicly traded) equity securities.

 

   

Investments in venture capital funds – includes investments in limited partnerships (accounted for under either the equity or cost methods).

 

   

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.

Marketable equity investments are stated at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded through other comprehensive income. 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. 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 investment prices would not materially affect operating results (see Note 4 to the Financial Statements for details of equity and other long-term investments).

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This report includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as TI or its management “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements in this report that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements.

We urge you to carefully consider the following important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of TI or its management:

 

   

Market demand for semiconductors, particularly for analog chips and digital signal processors in key markets such as communications, entertainment electronics and computing;

   

TI’s ability to maintain or improve profit margins, including its ability to utilize its manufacturing facilities at sufficient levels to cover its fixed operating costs, in an intensely competitive and cyclical industry;

   

TI’s ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative products in a rapidly changing technological environment;

   

TI’s ability to compete in products and prices in an intensely competitive industry;

   

TI’s ability to maintain and enforce a strong intellectual property portfolio and obtain needed licenses from third parties;

   

Expiration of license agreements between TI and its patent licensees, and market conditions reducing royalty payments to TI;

   

Economic, social and political conditions in the countries in which TI, its customers or its suppliers operate, including security risks, health conditions, possible disruptions in transportation networks and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

   

Natural events such as severe weather and earthquakes in the locations in which TI, its customers or its suppliers operate;

   

Availability and cost of raw materials, utilities, manufacturing equipment, third-party manufacturing services and manufacturing technology;

   

Changes in the tax rate applicable to TI as the result of changes in tax law, the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, the outcome of tax audits and the ability to realize deferred tax assets;

   

Losses or curtailments of purchases from key customers and the timing and amount of distributor and other customer inventory adjustments;

   

Customer demand that differs from our forecasts;

   

The financial impact of inadequate or excess TI inventory that results from demand that differs from projections;

   

TI’s ability to access its bank accounts and lines of credit or otherwise access the capital markets;

   

Product liability or warranty claims, claims based on epidemic or delivery failure or recalls by TI customers for a product containing a TI part;

   

TI’s ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel; and

   

Timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, installation of manufacturing equipment and the ability to obtain needed third-party foundry and assembly/test subcontract services.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the text under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date of publication (February 2008), and we undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
