Notes to financial statements
1. Description of business, including segment and geographic area information
We design and manufacture semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. We have two reportable segments, Analog and Embedded Processing, each of which represents groups of products that have similar design and development requirements, product characteristics and manufacturing processes. Our segments reflect how our chief operating decision maker (CODM), which is our chief executive officer, allocates resources and measures results.
•Analog semiconductors change real-world signals, such as sound, temperature, pressure or light, by conditioning them, amplifying them and often converting them to a stream of digital data that can be processed by other semiconductors, such as embedded processors. Analog semiconductors are also used to manage power in all electronic equipment by converting, distributing, storing, discharging, isolating and measuring electrical energy, whether the equipment is plugged into a wall or using a battery. Our Analog segment consists of two major product lines: Power and Signal Chain.
•Embedded Processing products are the digital “brains” of many types of electronic equipment. They are designed to handle specific tasks and can be optimized for various combinations of performance, power and cost, depending on the application.
We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other. Other includes DLP® products and calculators, which are operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for individually reportable segments and cannot be aggregated with other operating segments.
In Other, we also include items that are not used in evaluating the results of or in allocating resources to our segments. Examples of these items include acquisition, integration and restructuring charges, and certain corporate-level items, such as litigation expenses, environmental costs, insurance settlements, and gains and losses from other activities, including asset dispositions. We allocate the remainder of our expenses associated with corporate activities to our operating segments based on specific methodologies, such as percentage of operating expenses or headcount.
Costs incurred by our centralized manufacturing and support organizations, including depreciation, are charged to the operating segments, including those in Other, on a per-unit basis. Consequently, depreciation expense is not an independently identifiable component within the segments’ results and, therefore, is not provided.
With the exception of goodwill, we do not identify or allocate assets by operating segment, nor does the CODM evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. We have no material intersegment revenue. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the significant accounting policies and practices.

2. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies and practices
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2026, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results for the three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Significant accounting policies and practices
Earnings per share (EPS)
We use the two-class method for calculating EPS because the restricted stock units (RSUs) we grant are participating securities containing nonforfeitable rights to receive dividend equivalents. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to RSUs and excluded from the calculation of income allocated to common stock.
Computation and reconciliation of earnings per common share are as follows:

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the third quarter of 2026 were not material. Potentially dilutive securities representing 4 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during the third quarter of 2025, and 2 million and 10 million shares outstanding during the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during these periods because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Derivatives and hedging
We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. These instruments are primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are used as economic hedges to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these forward foreign currency exchange contracts are credited or charged to OI&E. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign currency derivative instruments.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
We are exposed to variability in compensation charges related to certain deferred compensation obligations to employees. We use total return swaps to economically hedge this exposure and offset the related compensation expense, recognizing changes in the fair value of the swaps and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A.
In connection with the issuance of long-term debt, we may use financial derivatives such as treasury-rate lock agreements that are recognized in AOCI and amortized over the life of the related debt.
The results of these derivative transactions were not material. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Fair values of financial instruments
The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were not material as of September 30, 2026. Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments, as well as our deferred compensation liabilities, are carried at fair value. The carrying values for other current financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. As of September 30, 2026, the carrying value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $13.56 billion, and the estimated fair value was $11.86 billion. The estimated fair value is measured using broker-dealer quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. See Note 4 for a description of fair value and the definition of Level 2 inputs.
Changes in accounting standards – standards not yet adopted
We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) on our financial statements and related disclosures. We plan to adopt these ASUs as of their effective dates.

4. Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities
Investments measured at fair value
Money market funds, debt investments and mutual funds are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices or broker quotes. We classify all debt investments as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and any credit losses are recorded as an allowance for credit losses with an offset recognized in OI&E in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Our mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments intended to generate returns that offset changes in certain deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of these mutual funds and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A.
Other investments
Our other investments include equity-method investments and nonmarketable investments, which are not measured at fair value. These investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other nonmarketable securities. Gains and losses from equity-method investments are recognized in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results. Nonmarketable securities are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments. Gains and losses on nonmarketable investments are recognized in OI&E.

Fair-value considerations
We measure and report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy described below indicates the inputs used to estimate fair-value measurements.
•Level 1 – Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.
•Level 2 – Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date through correlation with market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment. We utilize a third-party data service to provide Level 2 valuations, and we verify these valuations for reasonableness.
•Level 3 – Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had no Level 3 assets or liabilities.
The following are our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. These tables do not include cash on hand, assets held by our postretirement plans, or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value.

6. Debt and lines of credit
Short-term borrowings
We maintain a line of credit to provide additional liquidity through bank loans and, if necessary, to support commercial paper borrowings. As of September 30, 2026, the aforementioned line of credit was a variable-rate, revolving credit facility from a consortium of investment-grade banks that allows us to borrow up to $1 billion until March 2027. The interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility, if drawn, is indexed to the applicable Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR). As of September 30, 2026, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.
In June 2026, we entered into a 364-day delayed draw term loan credit facility for borrowings up to $5 billion to support the Silicon Labs acquisition consideration and related transaction expenses. The availability of funding is conditioned on the consummation of the planned acquisition of Silicon Labs. As of September 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings on the delayed draw term loan credit facility.
Long-term debt
In September 2026, we retired $500 million of maturing debt.

8. Contingencies
Indemnification guarantees
We routinely sell products with an intellectual property indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, we have had only minimal, infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate any future liabilities that may result.
15
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Warranty costs/product liabilities
Our stated warranties for semiconductor products obligate us to repair, replace or credit the purchase price of a covered product back to the buyer. Product claim consideration may exceed the price of our products. Historically, we have experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims, we do not believe they will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. 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.
General
We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
9. Supplemental financial information
Acquisition of Silicon Labs
As announced on February 4, 2026, we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Silicon Labs for $231.00 per share in an all-cash transaction, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $7.5 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Silicon Labs stockholders will receive $231.00 in cash for each share of Silicon Labs common stock they hold at the time of closing, which is expected in the first half of 2027, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We expect to fund the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, we incurred $7 million and $41 million of acquisition charges, respectively.

ITEM 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Overview
We design and manufacture semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. Technology is the foundation of our company, but ultimately, our objective and the best metric for owners to measure our progress is through the growth of free cash flow per share over the long term.
Our strategy to maximize long-term free cash flow per share growth has three elements:
1.A great business model that is focused on analog and embedded processing products and built around four sustainable competitive advantages. The four sustainable competitive advantages are powerful in combination and provide tangible benefits:
(a)A strong foundation of manufacturing and technology that provides lower costs and greater control of our supply chain.
(b)A broad portfolio of analog and embedded processing products that offers more opportunity per customer and more value for our investments.
(c)The reach of our market channels that gives access to more customers and more of their design projects, leading to better insight and knowledge of customer needs and the opportunity to sell more of our products into each design.
(d)Diversity and longevity of our products, markets and customer positions that provide less single point dependency and longer returns on our investments.
Together, these competitive advantages help position TI in a unique class of companies capable of generating and returning significant amounts of cash for our owners. We make our investments with an eye towards long-term strengthening and leveraging of these advantages.
2.Discipline in allocating capital to the best opportunities. This spans how we select R&D projects, develop new capabilities, invest in manufacturing capacity or how we think about acquisitions and returning cash to our owners.
3.Efficiency, which means constantly striving for more output for every dollar spent.
We believe that our business model with the combined effect of our four competitive advantages sets TI apart from our peers and will for a long time to come. We will invest to strengthen our competitive advantages, be disciplined in capital allocation and stay diligent in our pursuit of efficiencies. Finally, we will remain focused on the belief that long-term growth of free cash flow per share is the ultimate measure to generate value.
Market and business characteristics
Markets for our products
The markets for our products are industrial, automotive, data center, personal electronics and communications equipment. See our 2025 Form 10-K for more information. We refer to growth in the amount of semiconductor content in electronics as secular growth.
Semiconductor cycle
The semiconductor cycle refers to the ebb and flow of supply and demand and the building and depleting of inventories. It has been characterized by periods of tight supply caused by strengthening demand and/or insufficient manufacturing capacity, followed by periods of surplus inventory caused by weakening demand and/or excess manufacturing capacity. These are typically referred to as upturns and downturns in the semiconductor cycle. Semiconductor cycles are affected by the significant time and money required to build and maintain semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
18
Seasonality
Our revenue is subject to some seasonal variation. Historically, our sequential revenue growth rate tends to be weaker in the first and fourth quarters when compared with the second and third quarters.
Manufacturing
We invest to make manufacturing and technology a core competitive advantage. The strategic decision to own our manufacturing, process and packaging technology provides us with tangible benefits of lower manufacturing costs and greater control of our supply chain and provides our customers with geopolitically dependable capacity. We own and operate both wafer fabrication and assembly/test facilities in North America, Asia, Japan and Europe. We have focused on creating a competitive structural cost advantage by investing in our 300mm wafer production, which describes the diameter of the wafer on which our chips are produced, and costs about 40% less than a chip built on a 200mm wafer. In addition, we selectively use capacity of outside suppliers, commonly known as foundries and subcontractors.
We continue to invest to strengthen our competitive advantage in manufacturing and technology as part of our long-term capacity plan. We have invested in manufacturing capacity to support customer demand, enable external foundry transfers and prepare new factories to have cleanroom space available to support future growth. These investments have uniquely positioned TI to deliver dependable, low-cost 300mm capacity with the ability to equip and ramp factories to support customer demand. We believe this approach supports free cash flow per share growth across a range of market conditions.
With our planned capacity expansions to support demand over time, we expect our internal sourcing to continue to increase. We expect to continue to maintain sufficient internal manufacturing capacity to meet the majority of our production needs and to obtain manufacturing equipment to support new technology developments and revenue growth.
Inventory
Our objectives for inventory are to maintain high levels of customer service, maintain dependable and competitive lead times, minimize inventory obsolescence and improve manufacturing asset utilization. To meet these objectives and to allow greater flexibility in periods of high demand, our strategy is to build ahead of demand our broad-based products that are used across a diverse set of applications and customers and have low risk of obsolescence. Inventory levels will vary based on market conditions and seasonality. We adjust factory loadings as needed to execute on this inventory strategy.
Results of operations
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document. In the following discussion of our results of operations:
•Our segments represent groups of similar products that are combined on the basis of similar design and development requirements, product characteristics, manufacturing processes and distribution channels, and how management allocates resources and measures results. See Note 1 to the financial statements for more information regarding our segments.
•When we discuss our results:
◦Unless otherwise noted, changes in our revenue are attributable to changes in customer demand, which are evidenced by fluctuations in shipment volumes. Upturns in the semiconductor cycle are often characterized by rising customer demand, which drives higher revenue, while downturns in the semiconductor cycle are characterized by weakening customer demand, which results in lower revenue.
◦New products do not tend to have a significant impact on our revenue in any given period because we sell such a large number of products.
◦From time to time, our revenue and gross profit are affected by changes in demand for higher-priced or lower-priced products, which we refer to as changes in the “mix” of products shipped.
19
◦Because we own much of our manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our operating cost is fixed. When factory loadings decrease, our fixed costs are spread over reduced output and, absent other circumstances, our profit margins decrease. Conversely, as factory loadings increase, our fixed costs are spread over increased output and, absent other circumstances, our profit margins increase.
◦Our LFAB facility, which primarily supports our Embedded Processing business, was purchased as an operating fab and is continuing to ramp production, so we expect factory loadings to increase over time. As LFAB ramps, we expect Embedded to carry manufacturing costs that disproportionately benefit Embedded Processing operating profit as compared to Analog.
•For an explanation of free cash flow, see the Non-GAAP financial information section.
•All dollar amounts in the tables are stated in millions of U.S. dollars.
Macroeconomic factors
During the quarter, we saw broad demand, with revenue growth across all end markets and regions. Secular growth of semiconductor content is continuing alongside a strong cyclical recovery. We are working closely with our customers to support them during this time of increased demand. We are executing to our long-term manufacturing plan, and our investments have positioned us to ramp our factories to support revenue growth.
Performance summary
Our third quarter revenue was $6.06 billion, net income was $2.43 billion and earnings per share (EPS) were $2.62.
Revenue increased 11% sequentially and 28% from the same quarter a year ago with continued broad growth in industrial, automotive and data center.
Our cash flow from operations of $9.9 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model, the quality of our product portfolio and the benefit of 300mm production. Free cash flow for the same period was $8.4 billion.
Over the past 12 months we invested $4.0 billion in R&D and SG&A, invested $2.6 billion in capital expenditures and returned $5.8 billion to shareholders.
Details of financial results – third quarter 2026 compared with third quarter 2025
Revenue of $6.06 billion increased $1.31 billion, or 28%, due to increased demand in our Analog segment and, to a lesser extent, in our Embedded Processing segment.
Gross profit of $3.89 billion was up $1.16 billion, or 43%, primarily due to higher revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 64.2% from 57.4%.
Operating expenses (R&D and SG&A) were $1.01 billion compared with $975 million.
Acquisition charges were $7 million due to transaction-related costs associated with our planned acquisition of Silicon Labs.
Restructuring charges/other in the year-ago period was $85 million related to efforts to drive operational efficiencies to support our long-term strategy, including the closure of our remaining 150mm production.
Operating profit was $2.87 billion, or 47.5% of revenue, compared with $1.66 billion, or 35.1% of revenue. This change was primarily due to higher revenue and associated gross profit.
OI&E was $72 million of income compared with $62 million of income. This increase was primarily due to higher interest income.
Interest and debt expense was $141 million in both periods. See Note 6 to the financial statements.

Details of financial results – first nine months of 2026 compared with first nine months of 2025
Revenue of $16.34 billion increased $3.08 billion, or 23%, due to increased demand in our Analog segment and, to a lesser extent, in our Embedded Processing segment.
Gross profit of $10.04 billion was up $2.43 billion, or 32%, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs associated with our planned capacity expansions. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 61.4% from 57.4%.
Operating expenses were $3.01 billion compared with $2.98 billion.
Acquisition charges were $41 million due to transaction-related costs associated with our planned acquisition of Silicon Labs.
Restructuring charges/other in the year-ago period was $85 million related to efforts to drive operational efficiencies to support our long-term strategy, including the closure of our remaining 150mm production.

Operating profit was $6.99 billion, or 42.8% of revenue, compared with $4.55 billion, or 34.3% of revenue. This change was primarily due to higher revenue and associated gross profit.
OI&E was $188 million of income compared with $190 million of income.
Interest and debt expense of $423 million increased $21 million.
Our provision for income taxes was $807 million compared with $500 million. This increase was primarily due to higher income before income taxes. Our effective tax rate, which includes discrete tax items, was 12% in both periods.

Financial condition
At the end of the third quarter of 2026, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $8.14 billion, an increase of $3.26 billion from the end of 2025.
Accounts receivable were $2.62 billion, an increase of $657 million compared with the end of 2025. Days sales outstanding in the third quarter of 2026 were 39 compared with 40 at the end of 2025.
22
Inventory was $4.67 billion, a decrease of $132 million from the end of 2025. Days of inventory for the third quarter of 2026 were 194 compared with 222 at the end of 2025, which reflects the continued execution of our inventory strategy.
Liquidity and capital resources
Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and access to debt markets. We also have a variable-rate, revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2026, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding. Cash flows from operating activities for the first nine months of 2026 were $7.64 billion, an increase of $2.74 billion from the year-ago period due to higher net income and non-cash items, as well as lower cash used for working capital. Cash flows from operating activities for the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 include cash benefits of $380 million and $246 million, respectively, from the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS Act) investment tax credit (ITC) used to reduce income taxes payable.
Investing activities for the first nine months of 2026 used $2.74 billion compared with $763 million in the year-ago period. Capital expenditures were $1.65 billion compared with $3.63 billion in the year-ago period and were primarily for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and facilities in both periods. In 2026, CHIPS Act incentives provided cash proceeds of $1.10 billion compared with $335 million in the year-ago period. Short-term investments used cash of $2.23 billion compared with $2.55 billion of cash provided in the year-ago period.
Consistent with our capital management strategy, we expect between $2 billion to $3 billion of capital expenditures in 2026. Beyond 2026, capital expenditures will be dependent on revenue and growth expectations. We expect to continue benefiting from the CHIPS Act. This includes the 35% ITC on qualifying manufacturing investments as well as direct funding of up to $1.6 billion, of which we have received $630 million, for our three large-scale 300mm wafer fabs located in Sherman, Texas, and Lehi, Utah.
In September 2026, we announced we would increase our quarterly cash dividend by 7% to $1.52 per share, marking 23 consecutive years of dividend increases.
Financing activities for the first nine months of 2026 used $3.92 billion compared with $4.03 billion in the year-ago period. We retired maturing debt of $500 million. In the year-ago period, we received net proceeds of $1.20 billion from the issuance of fixed-rate, long-term debt and retired maturing debt of $750 million. Dividends paid were $3.88 billion compared with $3.71 billion in the year-ago period, reflecting an increased dividend rate. We used $233 million to repurchase 1.1 million shares of our common stock compared with $1.07 billion to repurchase 6.1 million shares in the year-ago period. Employee exercises of stock options provided cash proceeds of $770 million compared with $358 million in the year-ago period.
We had $4.21 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $3.93 billion of short-term investments as of September 30, 2026. We believe we have the necessary financial resources and operating plans to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend and debt-related payments, and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Acquisition of Silicon Labs
As announced on February 4, 2026, we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Silicon Labs for $231.00 per share in an all-cash transaction, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $7.5 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Silicon Labs stockholders will receive $231.00 in cash for each share of Silicon Labs common stock they hold at the time of closing, which is expected in the first half of 2027, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We expect to fund the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing.
In June 2026, we entered into a 364-day delayed draw term loan credit facility for borrowings up to $5 billion to support the Silicon Labs acquisition consideration and related transaction expenses. As of September 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings on the delayed draw term loan credit facility.

Non-GAAP financial information
This MD&A includes references to free cash flow and ratios based on that measure. These are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities (also referred to as cash flow from operations) less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from CHIPS Act incentives.
We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.
Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the table below.
