Richard K. Templeton
Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer

To our shareholders

Five years ago, we began a journey to 
fundamentally remake Texas Instruments into 
a company focused on two of the industry’s 
most attractive semiconductor markets – 
Analog and Embedded Processing. 

Despite its ups and downs, I believe 2011 
became the most important year yet in that 
journey given the strategic progress made 
in our businesses. The year began with high 
expectations for sustained strength in world 
economies; but before the first quarter was 
over, one of the worst natural disasters of 
our lifetime – the earthquake and tsunami 
in Japan – began to impact the production 
of electronics, and by summer, political and 
economic uncertainty was unraveling the 
recovery. Even so, it was a year in which TI 
outpaced the market in Analog and Embedded 
Processing and again gained share. 

Foremost among the things that made 2011 
important was our acquisition of National 
Semiconductor. This strategically significant 
purchase gave us immediate access to a 
high-quality portfolio of more than 12,000 
analog products and a large pool of highly 
talented analog engineers. Together, we offer 
customers a powerful and unparalleled suite 
of solutions.  

In Embedded Processing, we continued to 
heavy up our investments in microcontrollers, 
where our ultra-low power capabilities 
enable an expanded range of applications. 
As a result, we’ve increased our portfolio 
fourfold in the last three years, and today 
offer products across the breadth of the 
microcontroller spectrum.  

In our third major business, Wireless, two 
significant things occurred. First, we 
continued our planned exit from basebands; 
as we enter 2012, we expect revenue from 
this product line to become only a couple of 
percent of our revenue compared with almost 
25 percent four years ago. More strategically, 
we strengthened our position in applications 
processors and connectivity products – both 
of which offer great growth potential. As 
cloud computing increasingly takes hold, 
the opportunity for these products in many 
smart, connected devices will increase.   

Across all our businesses, there is a 
meaningful story developing in the diversity 
of our customer base. We now have more 
than 90,000 customers and, excluding our 
wireless baseband products, no single 
customer comprises more than 5 percent 
of our revenue. This breadth of customers 
alongside our breadth of portfolio sets TI 
apart from our competitors.

The transition at TI is evident in our numbers. 
Today, our core businesses constitute more 
than 70 percent of our revenue, and that 
number should continue to grow as almost 
90 percent of our R&D investments are 
targeted there. Nowhere is the progress more 
obvious than in Analog, which now comprises  
half of our company’s total revenue, up from 
a third in 2006. During 2011, we again 
returned cash to stockholders through stock 
repurchases of $2 billion and an increase of 
31 percent in the dividend rate. Even so, the 
balance sheet remained robust with year-end 
cash and short-term investments of almost 
$3 billion. 

As we look to future growth, we continue 
to make strong investments in China, the 
geographic region we believe most critical 
to success. We have a large, determined 
sales and applications engineering team 
there with offices in 16 cities, four times 
more than we had six years ago. We’ve 
taken a similar approach in India, Eastern 
Europe and Russia – all emerging markets 
with growing middle-class populations that 
will shape future economies.

By the end of 2011, the challenges from 
earlier in the year were abating. The industry 
was recovering from Japan’s natural 
disasters, semiconductor demand was 
becoming better aligned with customer 
demand, and our revenue was starting to 
improve. We know that great technology 
companies deliver growth – lots of it. The 
chips we make are increasingly pervasive in 
our daily lives, so we believe the opportunity 
to achieve this goal is within reach. Our 
job now is to transform great potential into 
great results and to make consistent 
outperformance the hallmark of our company. 
And that is our sole priority for 2012.

Notes to financial statements

1.  Description of business and significant accounting policies and practices

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

•	 	Analog – consists of High Volume Analog & Logic (HVAL), Power Management (Power) and High Performance Analog (HPA) . 

Following the acquisition of National Semiconductor Corporation (National), our Analog segment also includes National’s ongoing 
operations under the name of Silicon Valley Analog (SVA);

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

infrastructure and automotive applications; and

•	 	Wireless – consists of OMAP™ applications processors, connectivity products and basebands for wireless applications, including 

handsets and tablet computers .

We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other . See Note 17 for additional information on our business segments .

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 .

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 these notes, except per-share amounts, 
are stated in millions of U .S . dollars unless otherwise indicated . We have reclassified certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial 
statements to conform to the 2011 presentation . The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates from which final 
results may vary .

On September 23, 2011, we completed the acquisition of National . The consolidated financial statements include the balances and 

results of operations of National from the date of acquisition . See Note 2 for more detailed information .

Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue from direct sales of our products to our customers, including shipping fees, when title passes to the customer, 
which usually occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order; when persuasive evidence of an 
arrangement exists; when sales amounts are fixed or determinable; and when collectability is reasonably assured . Revenue from sales 
of our products that are subject to inventory consignment agreements is recognized when the customer pulls product from consignment 
inventory that we store at designated locations . Estimates of product returns for quality reasons and of price allowances (based on 
historical experience, product shipment analysis and customer contractual arrangements) are recorded when revenue is recognized . 
Allowances include volume-based incentives and special pricing arrangements . In addition, we record allowances for accounts 
receivable that we estimate may not be collected .

We recognize revenue from direct sales of our products to our distributors, net of allowances, consistent with the principles 

discussed above . Title transfers to the distributors at delivery or when the products are pulled from consignment inventory, and payment 
is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products . We also grant discounts 
to some distributors for prompt payments . We calculate credit allowances based on historical data, current economic conditions and 
contractual terms . For instance, we sell to distributors at standard published prices, but we may grant them price adjustment credits 
in response to individual competitive opportunities they may have . To estimate allowances, we use statistical percentages of revenue, 
determined quarterly, based upon recent historical adjustment trends .

We also provide distributors an allowance to scrap certain slow-moving or obsolete products in their inventory, estimated as a 
negotiated fixed percentage of each distributor’s purchases from us . In addition, if we publish a new price for a product that is lower 
than that paid by distributors for the same product still remaining in each distributor’s on-hand inventory, we may credit them for the 
difference between those prices . The allowance for this type of credit is based on the identified product price difference applied to our 
estimate of each distributor’s on-hand inventory of that product . We believe we can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for 
credits to distributors in a timely manner .

We determine the amount and timing of royalty revenue based on our contractual agreements with intellectual property licensees .

We recognize royalty revenue when earned under the terms of the agreements and when we consider realization of payment to be 
probable . Where royalties are based on a percentage of licensee sales of royalty-bearing products, we recognize royalty revenue by 
applying this percentage to our estimate of applicable licensee sales . We base this estimate on historical experience and an analysis of 
each licensee’s sales results . Where royalties are based on fixed payment amounts, we recognize royalty revenue ratably over the term 
of the royalty agreement . Where warranted, revenue from licensees may be recognized on a cash basis .

We include shipping and handling costs in COR .

Advertising costs
We expense advertising and other promotional costs as incurred . This expense was $43 million in 2011, $44 million in 2010 and 
$42 million in 2009 .

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

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

Earnings per share (EPS)
Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock units 
(RSUs), are considered to be participating securities and the two-class method is used for purposes of calculating EPS . Under the 
two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and, therefore, is excluded from the calculation of 
EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below .

Computation and reconciliation of earnings per common share are as follows (shares in millions):

Options to purchase 41 million, 88 million and 135 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during 2011, 2010 and 2009, 
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market 
price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive .

Investments
We present investments on our balance sheets as cash equivalents, short-term investments or long-term investments . Specific details 
are as follows:
Cash equivalents and short-term investments: We consider investments in debt securities with maturities of three months or less from 
the date of our investment to be cash equivalents . We consider investments in debt securities with maturities beyond three months from 
the date of our investment as being available for use in current operations and include these investments in short-term investments . 
The primary objectives of our cash equivalent and short-term investment activities are to preserve capital and maintain liquidity while 
generating appropriate returns .
Long-term investments: Long-term investments consist of mutual funds, auction-rate securities, venture capital funds and 
non-marketable equity securities .
Classification of investments: Depending on our reasons for holding the investment and our ownership percentage, we classify 
investments in securities as available for sale, trading, equity-method or cost-method investments, which are more fully described in 
Note 9 . We determine cost or amortized cost, as appropriate, on a specific identification basis .

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value . Cost is generally computed on a currently adjusted standard 
cost basis, which approximates cost on a first-in first-out basis . Standard cost is based on the normal utilization of installed factory capacity . 
Cost associated with underutilization of capacity is expensed as incurred . Inventory held at consignment locations is included in our finished 
goods inventory . Consigned inventory was $129 million and $130 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively .

We review inventory quarterly for salability and obsolescence . A specific allowance is provided for inventory considered unlikely to 
be sold . Remaining inventory includes a salability and obsolescence allowance based on an analysis of historical disposal activity . We 
write off inventory in the period in which disposal occurs .

Property, plant and equipment; acquisition-related intangibles and other capitalized costs
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method . 
Our cost basis includes certain assets acquired in business combinations that were initially recorded at fair value as of the date of 
acquisition . Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the 
estimated useful lives of the improvements . We amortize acquisition-related intangibles on a straight-line basis over the estimated 
economic life of the assets . Capitalized software licenses generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license . 
Fully depreciated or amortized assets are written off against accumulated depreciation or amortization .

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

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise . We complete 
our annual goodwill impairment tests as of October 1 for our reporting units . The test compares the fair value for each reporting unit to 
its associated carrying value including goodwill . We have had no impairment of goodwill for 2011 or 2010 .

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 . Property, plant and equipment 
with associated depreciation and inventories are remeasured at historic exchange rates . Revenue and expense accounts other than 
depreciation for each month are remeasured at the appropriate daily rate of exchange . Currency exchange gains and losses from 
remeasurement are credited or charged to OI&E .

Derivatives and hedging
In connection with the issuance of variable-rate long-term debt in May 2011, as more fully described in Note 13, we entered into an 
interest rate swap designated as a hedge of the variability of cash flows related to interest payments . Gains and losses from changes in 
the fair value of the interest rate swap are credited or charged to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes (AOCI) .

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

We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes .

Changes in accounting standards
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No . 2011-04, Fair Value 
Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and 
IFRS. This standard results in a common requirement between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 
for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair-value measurements . While this new standard will not affect how 
we measure or account for assets and liabilities at fair value, disclosures will be required for interim and annual periods beginning 
January 1, 2012 . There will be no impact to our financial condition or results of operation from the adoption of this new standard .
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No . 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for 

Impairment . This standard is intended to simplify how we will test goodwill for impairment . Prior to the issuance of this standard, we 
were required to use a two-step quantitative test to assess impairment of goodwill . Under this new standard, we will have the option to 
first assess qualitative factors to determine whether that two-step quantitative test should be performed . This standard is effective for 
goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted . We will adopt 
this standard effective January 1, 2012 .

2. National Semiconductor acquisition

On September 23, 2011, we completed the acquisition of National by acquiring all issued and outstanding common shares in exchange 
for cash . National designed, developed, manufactured and marketed a wide range of semiconductor products, focused on providing 
high-performance energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal solutions . The purpose of the acquisition was to grow revenue by combining 
National’s products with TI’s larger sales force and customer base .

We accounted for this transaction under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 – Business Combinations, and National’s 

operating results are included in the Analog segment from the acquisition date as SVA .

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows:

Cash payments  .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .

We prepared an initial determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date using 
preliminary information . Adjustments were made during the fourth quarter of 2011 to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed, as a result of refining our estimates . These were retrospectively applied to the September 23, 2011, acquisition date 
balance sheet . These adjustments are primarily related to tax matters and netted to an increase of goodwill of $1 million . None of the 
adjustments had a material impact on TI’s previously reported results of operations .

As of December 31, 2011, the allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from 
National has been finalized . The determination of fair value reflects the assistance of third-party valuation specialists, as well as our 
own estimates and assumptions . The final allocation of fair value by major class of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the 
acquisition date is as follows:

(a)  In-process R&D is not amortized until the associated project has been completed . Alternatively, if the associated project is 

determined not to be viable, it will be expensed .

The remaining consideration, after adjusting for identified intangible assets and the net assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, was 
$3 .528 billion and was applied to goodwill . Goodwill is attributed to National’s product portfolio and workforce expertise . None of the 
goodwill related to the National acquisition is deductible for tax purposes .

We assumed $1 .0 billion of outstanding debt as a result of our acquisition of National and recorded it at its fair value of 

$1 .105 billion . The excess of the fair value over the stated value is amortized as a reduction to Interest and debt expense over the term 
of the debt . In 2011, we recognized $9 million related to the amortization of the excess fair value .

The amount of National’s revenue included in our Consolidated statements of income for the period from the acquisition date to 

December 31, 2011, was $312 million . We do not measure net income at or below our segment levels .

The following unaudited summaries of pro forma combined results of operation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 
2010, give effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2010 . These pro forma summaries do not reflect any 
operating efficiencies, cost savings or revenue enhancements that may be achieved by the combined companies . In addition, certain 
non-recurring expenses, such as restructuring charges and retention bonuses that will be incurred within the first 12 months after the 
acquisition, are not reflected in the pro forma summaries . These pro forma summaries are presented for informational purposes only 
and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the acquisition taken place as of that 
date, nor are they indicative of future consolidated results of operations .

We recognized costs associated with the adjustments to write up the value of acquired inventory and property, plant and equipment to 
fair value as of the acquisition date . These costs are in addition to the normal expensing of the acquired assets based on their carrying 
or book value prior to the acquisition . The total fair-value write-up for the acquired inventory was expensed as that inventory was sold . 
The total fair-value write-up for the acquired property, plant and equipment was $436 million, which is being depreciated at a rate of 
about $15 million per quarter beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011 .

The amount of recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the National acquisition was $87 million for the 

period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011 . Amortization of intangible assets is based on estimated useful lives varying 
between two and ten years .

Severance and other benefits costs relate to former National employees who have been or will be terminated after the closing date . 
These costs total $70 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, with $41 million in charges related to change of control provisions 
under existing employment agreements and $29 million in charges for announced employment reductions affecting about 350 jobs . 
All of these jobs will be eliminated by the end of 2012 as a result of redundancies and cost efficiency measures, with approximately 
$20 million of additional expense to be recognized in 2012 . Of the $70 million in charges recognized, $14 million was paid in 2011 . The 
remaining $56 million will be paid in 2012 .

Stock-based compensation of $50 million was recognized for the accelerated vesting of equity awards upon the termination of 

employees . Additional stock-based compensation will be recognized over any remaining service periods .

Transaction costs include expenses incurred in connection with the National acquisition, such as investment advisory, legal, 

accounting and printing fees, as well as bridge financing costs incurred in April 2011 .

Retention bonuses reflect amounts expected to be paid to former National employees who fulfill agreed-upon service period 

obligations and will be recognized ratably over the required service period .

3. Losses associated with the earthquake in Japan

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 .0 earthquake struck near two of our three semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Japan . Our 
manufacturing site in Miho suffered substantial damage during the earthquake, our facility in Aizu experienced significantly less damage 
and our site in Hiji was undamaged . We maintain earthquake insurance policies in Japan for limited coverage for property damage and 
business interruption losses .

Assessment and recovery efforts began immediately at these facilities and officially ended in August . Our Aizu factory recovered first 
and has been in production since the second quarter, while our Miho factory opened a mini-line for products in mid-April and was back 
to full production in the third quarter of 2011 .

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we incurred gross operating losses of $101 million related to property damage, the 
underutilization expense we incurred from having our manufacturing assets only partially loaded and costs associated with recovery 
teams assembled from across the world . These losses have been offset by about $23 million in insurance proceeds related to property 
damage claims . Almost all of these costs and proceeds are included in COR in the Consolidated statements of income and are recorded 
in Other .

In addition to the costs associated with the earthquake, we also had an impact to revenue . For the year 2011, we recognized 

$38 million in insurance proceeds related to business interruption claims . These proceeds were recorded as revenue in Other .

We continue to be in discussions with our insurers and their advisors, but at this time we cannot estimate the timing and amount of 

future proceeds we may ultimately receive from our policies .

4. Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges may consist of voluntary or involuntary severance-related charges, asset-related charges and other costs to 
exit activities . We recognize voluntary termination benefits when the employee accepts the offered benefit arrangement . We recognize 
involuntary severance-related charges depending on whether the termination benefits are provided under an ongoing benefit 
arrangement or under a one-time benefit arrangement . If the former, we recognize the charges once they are probable and the amounts 
are estimable . If the latter, we recognize the charges once the benefits have been communicated to employees . 

Restructuring activities associated with assets would be recorded as an adjustment to the basis of the asset, not as a liability . When 

we commit to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life, we accelerate the recognition 
of depreciation to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life . When an asset is held to be sold, we write down the carrying 
value to its net realizable value and cease depreciation . 

Restructuring actions related to the acquisition of National are discussed in Note 2 above and are reflected on the Acquisition 

charges/divestiture (gain) line of our Consolidated statements of income .

2011 actions
In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recognized restructuring charges associated with the announced plans to close two older 
semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Hiji, Japan, and Houston, Texas, over the next 18 months . Combined, these facilities supported 
about 4 percent of TI’s revenue in 2011, and each employs about 500 people . As needed, production from these facilities will be 
moved to other more advanced TI factories . The total charge for these closures is estimated at $215 million, of which $112 million was 
recognized in the fourth quarter and the remainder will be incurred over the next seven quarters . The Restructuring charges recognized 
in the fourth quarter of 2011 are included in Other and consisted of $107 million for severance and benefit costs and $5 million of 
accelerated depreciation of the facilities’ assets . Of the estimated $215 million total cost, about $135 million will be for severance and 
related benefits, about $30 million will be for accelerated depreciation of facility assets and about $50 million will be for other exit costs .

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

5. Stock-based compensation

We have stock options outstanding to participants under various long-term incentive plans . We also have assumed stock options that 
were granted by companies that we later acquired, including National . Unless the options are acquisition-related replacement options, 
the option price per share may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant . 
Substantially all the options have a ten-year term and vest ratably over four years . Our options generally continue to vest after the option 
recipient retires . 

We also have restricted stock units (RSUs) outstanding under the long-term incentive plans . Each RSU represents the right to receive 

one share of TI common stock on the vesting date, which is generally four years after the date of grant . Upon vesting, the shares are 
issued without payment by the grantee . RSUs generally do not continue to vest after the recipient’s retirement date . 

We have options and RSUs outstanding to non-employee directors under various director compensation plans . The plans generally 
provide for annual grants of stock options and RSUs, a one-time grant of RSUs to each new non-employee director and the issuance of 
TI common stock upon the distribution of stock units credited to deferred compensation accounts established for such directors .

We also have an employee stock purchase plan under which 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 . 

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized was as follows:

These amounts include expense related to non-qualified stock options, RSUs and stock options offered under our employee stock 
purchase plan and are net of expected forfeitures . 

We issue awards of non-qualified stock options generally with graded vesting provisions (e .g ., 25 percent per year for four years) . 
We recognize the related compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the minimum service period required for vesting of the award . 
For awards to employees who are retirement eligible or nearing retirement eligibility, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line 
basis over the longer of the service period required to be performed by the employee in order to earn the award, or a six-month period . 

Our RSUs generally vest four years after the date of grant . We recognize the related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over 

the vesting period .

National acquisition-related equity awards
In connection with the acquisition of National, we assumed certain stock options and RSUs granted by National, which were converted 
into the right to receive TI stock . The awards we assumed were measured at the acquisition date based on the estimate of fair 
value, which was a total of $147 million . A portion of that fair value, $22 million, which represented the pre-combination vested 
service provided by employees to National, was included in the total consideration transferred as part of the acquisition . As of the 
acquisition date, the remaining portion of the fair value of those awards was $125 million, representing post-combination stock-based 
compensation expense that would be recognized as these employees provide service over the remaining vesting periods . At 
December 31, 2011, unrecognized compensation expense was $68 million .

Fair-value methods and assumptions
We account for all awards granted under our various stock-based compensation plans at fair value . We estimate the fair values for 
non-qualified stock options under long-term incentive and director compensation plans using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with

We determine expected volatility on all options granted after July 1, 2005, using available implied volatility rates . We believe that 
market-based measures of implied volatility are currently the best available indicators of the expected volatility used in these estimates .
We determine expected lives of options based on the historical option exercise experience of our optionees using a rolling ten-year 

average . We believe the historical experience method is the best estimate of future exercise patterns currently available .

Risk-free interest rates are determined using the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U .S . government issues with a 

remaining term equal to the expected life of the options .

Expected dividend yields are based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and the current market price of our common 
stock at the time of grant . No assumption for a future dividend rate change is included unless there is an approved plan to change the 
dividend in the near term .

The fair value per share of RSUs that we grant is determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant . 
Our employee stock purchase plan is a discount-purchase plan and consequently the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is not 
used to determine the fair value per share of these awards . The fair value per share under this plan equals the amount of the discount .

Long-term incentive and director compensation plans

(a)  Includes effects of expected forfeitures of approximately 1 million shares . Excluding the effects of expected forfeitures, the 

aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was $543 million . 

As of December 31, 2011, the total future compensation cost related to equity awards not yet recognized in the Consolidated statements 
of income was $477 million; $144 million related to unvested stock options and $333 million related to RSUs, of which $2 million and 
$66 million were associated with the National acquisition, respectively . The $477 million will be recognized as follows: $192 million in 
2012, $153 million in 2013, $98 million in 2014 and $34 million in 2015 . 

Employee stock purchase plan
Options outstanding under the employee stock purchase plan at December 31, 2011, had an exercise price of $25 .29 per share

Effect on shares outstanding and treasury shares
Our practice is to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options generally from treasury shares and, on a limited basis, 
from previously unissued shares . We settled stock option plan exercises using treasury shares of 27,308,311 in 2011; 19,077,274 in 
2010 and 6,695,583 in 2009; and previously unissued common shares of 390,438 in 2011; 342,380 in 2010 and 93,648 in 2009 .

Upon vesting of RSUs, we issued treasury shares of 3,822,475 in 2011; 1,392,790 in 2010 and 977,728 in 2009, and previously 

unissued common shares of 73,852 in 2011, with none in 2010 and 2009 .

(a)  Includes 123,667 shares credited to directors’ deferred compensation accounts that may settle in shares of TI common stock . These 

shares are not included as grants outstanding at December 31, 2011 .

Effect on cash flows
Cash received from the exercise of options was $690 million in 2011, $407 million in 2010 and $109 million in 2009 . The related net tax 
impact realized was $45 million, $21 million and ($2) million (which includes excess tax benefits realized of $31 million, $13 million and 
$1 million) in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively .

6. Profit sharing plans

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

We recognized $143 million, $279 million and $102 million of profit sharing expense under the TI Employee Profit Sharing Plan in 

2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively .

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, net deferred income tax assets of $888 million and $1 .61 billion were presented in the 
balance sheets, based on tax jurisdiction, as deferred income tax assets of $1 .50 billion and $1 .70 billion and deferred income tax 
liabilities of $607 million and $86 million, respectively . The decrease in net deferred income tax assets from December 31, 2010, to 
December 31, 2011, is due to the recording of $881 million of net deferred tax liabilities associated with the acquisition of National, 
partially offset by the $119 million deferred tax provision .

We make an ongoing assessment regarding the realization of U .S . and non-U .S . deferred tax assets . In 2011, we recognized a net 
increase of $175 million in our valuation allowance . This increase was due to valuation allowances on unutilized tax credits associated 
with the acquisition of National . While the net deferred assets of $2 .46 billion at December 31, 2011, are not assured of realization, our 
assessment is that a valuation allowance is not required on this balance . This assessment is based on our evaluation of relevant criteria 
including the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, taxable income in prior carryback years 
and expectations for future taxable income .

We have U .S . and non-U .S . tax loss carryforwards of approximately $202 million, of which $124 million expire through the 

year 2021 .

Provision has been made for deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U .S . subsidiaries to the extent that dividend 

payments from these subsidiaries are expected to result in additional tax liability . The remaining undistributed earnings (approximately 
$4 .12 billion at December 31, 2011) have been indefinitely reinvested; therefore, no provision has been made for taxes due upon 
remittance of these earnings . The indefinitely reinvested earnings of our non-U .S . subsidiaries are primarily invested in tangible assets 
such as inventory and property, plant and equipment . Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not 
practical because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation .

Cash payments made for income taxes, net of refunds, were $902 million, $1 .47 billion and $331 million for the years ended 

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively .

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

The liability for uncertain tax positions and the accrued interest payable are components of Deferred credits and other liabilities on our 
December 31, 2011, balance sheet .

Within the $210 million liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2011, are uncertain tax positions totaling $233 million 
that, if recognized, would impact the tax rate . If these tax liabilities are ultimately realized, $83 million of deferred tax assets would also 
be realized, primarily related to refunds from counterparty jurisdictions resulting from procedures for relief from double taxation .

Within the $103 million liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2010, are uncertain tax positions totaling $136 million 
that, if recognized, would impact the tax rate . If these tax liabilities are ultimately realized, $101 million of deferred tax assets would also 
be realized, primarily related to refunds from counterparty jurisdictions resulting from procedures for relief from double taxation .

As of December 31, 2011, the statute of limitations remains open for U .S . federal tax returns for 1999 and following years . Audits of 

our U .S . federal tax returns through 2006 have been completed except for certain pending tax treaty procedures for relief from double 
taxation . These procedures pertain to U .S . federal tax returns for the years 2003 through 2007 .

In non-U .S . jurisdictions, the years open to audit represent the years still subject to the statute of limitations . With respect to major 

jurisdictions outside the U .S ., our subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2004 .

We are unable to estimate the range of any reasonably possible increase or decrease in uncertain tax positions that may occur 

within the next 12 months resulting from the eventual outcome of the years currently under audit or appeal . However, we do not 
anticipate any such outcome will result in a material change to our financial condition or results of operations . U .S . federal tax returns 
for recently acquired National are currently under audit for tax years through 2009 . It is possible that issues that are the subject of that 
audit could be resolved in the next 12 months and result in a material change in our estimate of uncertain tax positions .

8. Financial instruments and risk concentration

Financial instruments
We hold derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and forward 
purchase contracts, the fair value of which is not material at December 31, 2011 . Our forward foreign currency exchange contracts 
outstanding at December 31, 2011, had a notional value of $516 million to hedge our non-U .S . dollar net balance sheet exposures 
(including $253 million to sell Japanese yen, $105 million to sell euros and $39 million to sell British pound sterling) .

Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments, as well as our postretirement 
plan assets, contingent consideration and deferred compensation liabilities are carried at fair value, which is described in Note 9 . 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 . The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates the fair value .

Risk concentration
Financial instruments that could subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments 
and accounts receivable . In order to manage our credit risk exposure, we place cash investments in investment-grade debt securities 
and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer . We also limit counterparties on forward foreign currency exchange contracts 
to financial institutions rated no lower than A3/A- .

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to our large number of customers and their 

dispersion across different industries and geographic areas . We maintain an allowance for losses based on the expected collectability of 
accounts receivable . These allowances are deducted from accounts receivable on our Consolidated balance sheets .

Details of these allowances are as follows:

9. Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities

Debt and equity investments
We classify our investments as available for sale, trading, equity method or cost method . Most of our investments are classified as 
available for sale .

Available-for-sale and trading securities are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices, broker quotes or, 
when necessary, financial models (see fair-value discussion below) . Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are 
recorded as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our Consolidated balance sheets . We record other-than-temporary losses 
(impairments) on available-for-sale securities in OI&E in our Consolidated statements of income .

We classify certain mutual funds as trading securities . These 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 . Changes in the fair value of debt securities classified as trading 
securities are recorded in OI&E .

Our other investments are not measured at fair value but are accounted for using either the equity method or cost method . These 

investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other non-marketable equity securities . Gains and losses from equity 
method investments are reflected in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results . Gains and losses on cost 
method investments are recorded in OI&E when realized or when an impairment of the investment’s value is warranted based on our 
assessment of the recoverability of each investment .

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the majority of unrealized losses included in AOCI were associated with auction-rate securities 
classified as securities that are available for sale . We have determined that our available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses 
are not other-than-temporarily impaired as we expect to recover the entire cost basis of these securities . We do not intend to sell these 
investments, nor do we expect to be required to sell these investments, before a recovery of the cost basis . In the second quarter of 
2011, we recategorized certain auction-rate securities from an available-for-sale classification to a trading classification, as we intend 
to sell them . For the year ended December 31, 2011, we did not recognize in earnings any credit losses related to these investments .
Proceeds from sales, redemptions and maturities of short-term available-for-sale securities, excluding cash equivalents, were 
$3 .55 billion, $2 .56 billion and $2 .03 billion in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively . Gross realized gains and losses from these sales 
were not significant .

Gross realized gains and losses from sales of long-term investments were not significant for 2011, 2010 or 2009 . Other-than-temporary 
declines and impairments in the values of these investments recognized in OI&E were $2 million, $1 million and $14 million in 2011, 
2010 and 2009, respectively .

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 (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset 
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date .

The three-level hierarchy discussed below indicates the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair-value measurements .
Level 1 – Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date . 
Level 2 –  Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation 
with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets 
that are not active . Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies 
that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and 
volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data . Our Level 2 assets consist of corporate obligations, 
some U .S . government agency securities and auction-rate securities that have been called for redemption . We utilize a 
third-party data service to provide Level 2 valuations, verifying these valuations for reasonableness relative to unadjusted 
quotes obtained from brokers or dealers based on observable prices for similar assets in active markets .

Level 3 –  Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management 

judgment . These values are generally determined using pricing models that utilize management estimates of market 
participant assumptions .

Our auction-rate securities are primarily classified as Level 3 assets . Auction-rate securities are debt instruments with variable 
interest rates that historically would periodically reset through an auction process . These auctions have not functioned since 2008 . There 
is no active secondary market for these securities, although limited observable transactions do occasionally occur . As a result, we use a 
discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of these investments as of each quarter end . The assumptions used 
in preparing the discounted cash flow model include estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and 
the rate of return required by investors to own these securities in the current environment . In making these assumptions, we consider 
relevant factors including: the formula for each security that defines the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction; 
forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks specified in such formulas; the likely timing of principal repayments; the probability 
of full repayment considering the guarantees by the U .S . Department of Education of the underlying student loans and additional credit 
enhancements provided through other means; and, publicly available pricing data for student loan asset-backed securities that are not 
subject to auctions . Our estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own these securities also considers the reduced liquidity 
for auction-rate securities . To date, we have collected all interest on all of our auction-rate securities when due and expect to continue 
to do so in the future .

10. Acquisitions and divestitures other than National

Acquisitions
In October 2010, we acquired our first semiconductor manufacturing site in China, located in the Chengdu High-tech Zone . This included 
a fully equipped and operational 200-millimeter wafer fabrication facility (fab), as well as a non-operating fab that is being held for 
future capacity expansion . Additionally, we offered employment to the majority of existing employees at the Chengdu site . We provided 
transitional supply services through the middle of 2011, while also installing our analog production processes . This acquisition, which 
was recorded as a business combination, used net cash of $140 million . As contractually agreed, we made an additional payment to the 
seller in October 2011 . We recorded $158 million of property, plant and equipment, $5 million of inventory, $4 million of other assets and 
$8 million of expenses . Operating results for the transitional supply services are included in Other . Additionally, we incurred acquisition 
costs of $2 million .

In August 2010, we completed the acquisition of two wafer fabs and equipment in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, for net cash of 

$130 million . The terms of the acquisition included an operational 200-millimeter fab as well as a non-operating fab capable of either 
200-or 300-millimeter production that is being held for future capacity expansion . Additionally, we offered employment to the existing 
employees at the Aizu site . We provided transitional supply services through 2011, while also installing our analog production processes .
The acquisition of the two Aizu wafer fabs and related 200-millimeter equipment was recorded as a business combination for net 
cash of $59 million . We recorded $42 million of property, plant and equipment, $9 million of inventory and $8 million of expenses, which 
were charged to COR . Operating results for the transitional supply services are included in Other . In connection with the Aizu acquisition, 
we also settled a contractual arrangement with a third party for our benefit for net cash of $12 million, which was recorded as a charge 
in COR in Other . Additionally, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $1 million, which were recorded in SG&A . The Aizu acquisition also 
included 300-millimeter production tools, which we recorded as a capital purchase for net cash of $58 million .

In 2009, we acquired Luminary Micro for net cash of $51 million and other consideration of $7 million . These operations were 

integrated into our Embedded Processing segment . We also acquired CICLON Semiconductor Device Corporation for net cash of 
$104 million and other consideration of $7 million . These operations were integrated into our Analog segment .

The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in our financial statements from their respective acquisition 

dates . Pro forma financial information would not be materially different from amounts reported .

Divestitures
In November 2010, we divested a product line previously included in Other for $148 million and recognized a gain in operating profit of 
$144 million . This appears in the Consolidated statements of income on the Acquisition charges/divestiture (gain) line for 2010 .

There was no impairment of goodwill during 2011 or 2010 . In the first quarter of 2010, we transferred a low-power wireless product 
line, including the associated goodwill, from the Analog segment to the Wireless segment . We reduced goodwill in Other by $2 million, 
which was related to the divestiture noted in Note 10 . The addition to Analog goodwill was from the National acquisition .

In 2011, we recognized intangible assets associated with the National acquisition of $2 .96 billion, primarily for developed 

technology and customer relationships . In 2010, we had no additional intangible assets from an acquisition .

12. Postretirement benefit plans

Plan descriptions
We have various employee retirement plans including defined benefit, defined contribution and retiree health care benefit plans . For 
qualifying employees, we offer deferred compensation arrangements . As a part of the National acquisition, we assumed the assets and 
liabilities of its defined benefit plans, primarily those associated with the United Kingdom and Germany .

U.S. retirement plans: 
Principal retirement plans in the U .S . are 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 . The defined benefit pension 
plans include employees still accruing benefits as well as employees and participants who no longer accrue service-related benefits, but 
instead, may participate in the enhanced defined contribution plan .

Both defined contribution plans offer an employer-matching savings option that allows employees to make pre-tax contributions to 

various investment choices, including a TI common stock fund . Employees who elected to continue accruing a benefit in the qualified 
defined benefit pension plans may also participate in the defined contribution plan, where employer-matching contributions are 
provided for up to 2 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings . Employees who elected not to continue accruing a benefit in 
the defined benefit pension plans, and employees hired after November 1997 and through December 31, 2003, may participate in the 
enhanced defined contribution plan . This plan provides for a fixed employer contribution of 2 percent of the employee’s annual eligible 
earnings, plus an employer-matching contribution of up to 4 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings . Employees hired after 
December 31, 2003, do not receive the fixed employer contribution of 2 percent of the employee’s annual eligible earnings .

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, as a result of employees’ elections, TI’s U .S . defined contribution plans held shares of TI common 

stock totaling 22 million shares and 24 million shares valued at $639 million and $792 million, respectively . Dividends paid on these 
shares for 2011 and 2010 were $13 million for each year .

Our aggregate expense for the U .S . defined contribution plans was $55 million in 2011, $50 million in 2010 and $51 million in 2009 .

Benefits under the qualified defined benefit pension plan are determined using a formula based upon years of service and 
the highest five consecutive years of compensation . We intend to contribute amounts to this plan to meet the minimum funding 
requirements of applicable local laws and regulations, plus such additional amounts as we deem appropriate . The non-qualified defined 
benefit plans are unfunded and closed to new participants .

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

Non-U.S. retirement plans: 
We provide retirement coverage for non-U .S . employees, as required by local laws or to the extent we deem appropriate, through a 
number of defined benefit and defined contribution plans . Retirement benefits are generally based on an employee’s years of service 
and compensation . Funding requirements are determined on an individual country and plan basis and are subject to local country 
practices and market circumstances .

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, as a result of employees’ elections, TI’s non-U .S . defined contribution plans held TI common 
stock valued at $12 million and $14 million, respectively . Dividends paid on these shares of TI common stock for 2011 and 2010 were 
not material .

Expenses associated with National’s plans for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011, were $2 million for non-U .S . 
defined benefit plans . National had no defined benefit plans in the U .S .

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

The only Level 3 assets in our worldwide benefit plans are certain private equity limited partnerships in our U .S . pension plan and 
diversified hedge and property funds in a non-U .S . pension plan . These investments are valued using inputs from the fund managers 
and internal models .

The following table summarizes the change in the fair values for Level 3 plan assets for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010:

We utilize a variety of methods to select an appropriate discount rate depending on the depth of the corporate bond market in the 
country in which the benefit plan operates . In the U .S ., we use a settlement approach whereby a portfolio of bonds is selected from 
the universe of actively traded high-quality U .S . corporate bonds . The selected portfolio is designed to provide cash flows sufficient to 
pay the plan’s expected benefit payments when due . The resulting discount rate reflects the rate of return of the selected portfolio of 
bonds . For our non-U .S . locations with a sufficient number of actively traded high-quality bonds, an analysis is performed in which the 
projected cash flows from the defined benefit plans are discounted against a yield curve constructed with an appropriate universe of 
high-quality corporate bonds 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 . Both the settlement approach and the yield curve approach produce a 
discount rate that recognizes each plan’s distinct liability characteristics . For countries that lack a sufficient corporate bond market, a 
government bond index adjusted for an appropriate risk premium is used to establish the discount rate .

Assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets are based on future expectations for returns for each asset 
class and the effect of periodic target asset allocation rebalancing . We adjust the results for the payment of reasonable expenses of the 
plan from plan assets . We believe our assumptions are appropriate based on the investment mix and long-term nature of the plans’ 
investments .

Assumptions used for the non-U .S . defined benefit plans reflect the different economic environments within the various countries .

The table below shows target allocation ranges for the plans that hold a substantial majority of the defined benefit assets .

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

None of the plan assets related to the defined benefit pension plans and retiree health care benefit plan are directly invested in TI 
common stock . As of December 31, 2011, we do not expect to return any of the plans’ assets to TI in the next 12 months .

Contributions to the plans meet or exceed all minimum funding requirements . We expect to contribute about $120 million to our 

retirement benefit plans in 2012 .

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, 2011, by $28 million or $24 million and increased 
or decreased the service cost and interest cost components of 2011 plan expense by $1 million .

Deferred compensation arrangements
We have a deferred compensation plan, which allows U .S . employees whose base salary and management responsibility exceed a 
certain level to defer receipt of a portion of their cash compensation . Payments under this plan are made based on the participant’s 
distribution election and plan balance . Participants can earn a return on their deferred compensation based on notional investments in 
the same investment funds that are offered in our defined contribution plans .

As of December 31, 2011, our liability to participants of the deferred compensation plan was $150 million and is recorded in 
Deferred credits and other liabilities on our Consolidated balance sheets . This amount reflects the accumulated participant deferrals 
and earnings thereon as of that date . No assets are held in trust for the deferred compensation plan and so we remain liable to the 
participants . To serve as an economic hedge against changes in fair values of this liability, we invest in similar mutual funds that are 
recorded in Long-term investments . We record changes in the fair value of the liability and the related investment in SG&A (see Note 9) .

In connection with the National acquisition, we assumed its deferred compensation plan . As of December 31, 2011, this consisted of 

$41 million of obligations and matching assets held in a Rabbi trust . No further contributions will be made into this plan .

13. Debt and lines of credit

Debt balances include amounts assumed related to the National acquisition measured at fair value as of the acquisition date .

Short-term borrowings
We maintain lines of credit to support commercial paper borrowings, if any, and to provide additional liquidity through bank loans . As of 
December 31, 2011, we had a variable-rate revolving credit facility that allows us to borrow up to $920 million through August 2012 . We 
have a second variable-rate revolving credit facility that allows us to borrow an additional $1 billion until July 2012 . These facilities carry 
a variable rate of interest indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) .

On July 14, 2011, for general corporate purposes and to maintain cash balances at desired levels, we issued an aggregate of 
$1 .2 billion of commercial paper, which was supported by these existing revolving credit facilities . During the fourth quarter, we repaid 
$200 million of those borrowings . As of December 31, 2011, the balance of commercial paper outstanding was $1 .0 billion . The 
weighted-borrowing rate for the commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2011, was 0 .25 percent .

Long-term debt
On May 23, 2011, we issued fixed- and floating-rate long-term debt to help fund the National acquisition . The proceeds of the offering 
were $3 .497 billion, net of the original issuance discount . We also incurred $12 million of issuance costs that are included in Other 
assets and will be amortized to Interest and debt expense over the term of the debt .

In connection with this issuance, we also entered into an interest rate swap transaction related to the $1 .0 billion floating-rate 
debt due 2013 . Under this swap agreement, we will receive variable payments based on three-month LIBOR rates and pay a fixed rate 
through May 15, 2013 . Changes in the cash flows of the interest rate swap are expected to exactly offset the changes in cash flows 
attributable to fluctuations in the three-month LIBOR-based interest payments . We have designated this interest rate swap as a cash 
flow hedge and record changes in its fair value in AOCI . The net effect of this swap is to convert the $1 .0 billion floating-rate debt to a 
fixed-rate obligation bearing a rate of 0 .922 percent .

At the acquisition date, we assumed $1 .0 billion of outstanding National debt with a fair value of $1 .105 billion . The excess of the 

fair value over the stated value will be amortized as a reduction of interest and debt expense over the term of the related debt .

As of December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding debt . Interest incurred on debt and amortization of debt expense was $42 million in 
2011 . Interest incurred in 2010 and 2009 was not material . Cash payments for interest on long-term debt were $54 million in 2011 .

14. Commitments and contingencies

Operating leases
We conduct certain operations in leased facilities and also lease a portion of our data processing and other equipment . In addition, 
certain long-term supply agreements to purchase industrial gases are accounted for as operating leases . Lease agreements frequently 
include purchase and renewal provisions and require us to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs . Rental and lease expense 
incurred was $109 million, $100 million and $114 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively .

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

Purchase commitments
Some of our purchase commitments entered in the ordinary course of business provide for minimum payments . At December 31, 2011, 
we had committed to make the following minimum payments under our non-cancellable operating leases, capitalized software licenses 
and purchase commitments:

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

Warranty costs/product liabilities
We accrue for known product-related claims if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated . During the periods presented, there 
have been no material accruals or payments regarding product warranty or product liability . Historically, we have experienced a low rate 
of payments on product claims . Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims, we do not believe they will 
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity . Consistent with general industry practice, we 
enter into formal contracts with certain customers that include negotiated warranty remedies . Typically, under these agreements our 
warranty for semiconductor products includes: three years coverage; an obligation to repair, replace or refund; and a maximum payment 
obligation tied to the price paid for our products . In some cases, product claims may exceed the price of our products .

General
We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings . Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we 
believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or 
liquidity . From time to time, we also negotiate contingent consideration payment arrangements associated with certain acquisitions, 
which are recorded at fair value .

Discontinued operations indemnity
In connection with the 2006 sale of the former Sensors & Controls (S&C) business, we have agreed to indemnify Sensata Technologies, 
Inc ., for specified litigation matters and certain liabilities, including environmental liabilities . In a settlement with a third party, we have 
agreed to indemnify that party for certain events relating to S&C products, which events we consider remote . We believe our total 
remaining potential exposure from both of these indemnities will not exceed $200 million . As of December 31, 2011, we believe future 
payments related to these indemnity obligations will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity . 

15. Stockholders’ equity

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

Treasury shares acquired in connection with the board-authorized stock repurchase program in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were 

59,466,168 shares, 93,522,896 shares and 45,544,800 shares, respectively . As of December 31, 2011, $5 .7 billion of stock repurchase 
authorizations remain, and no expiration date has been specified .

17. Segment and geographic area data

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

Analog – Analog semiconductors change real-world signals – such as sound, temperature, pressure or images – by conditioning them, 
amplifying them and often converting them to a stream of digital data that can be processed by other semiconductors, such as digital 
signal processors (DSPs) . Analog semiconductors are also used to manage power distribution and consumption . Analog includes the 
following major product lines: HVAL, Power, HPA and SVA .

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

Wireless – Growth in the wireless market is being driven by the demand for smartphones, tablet computers and other emerging portable 
devices . Many of today’s smartphones and tablets use an applications processor to run the device’s software operating system and 
enable expanded functionality . Many wireless devices also use other semiconductors to enable wireless connectivity using technologies 
such as Bluetooth®, WiFi networks, GPS, and Near Field Communications . Our OMAP applications processors and connectivity products 
enable us to take advantage of the increasing demand for more powerful and more functional mobile devices . We design, make and sell 
products to satisfy each of these requirements . Wireless products are typically sold in high volumes . Our Wireless portfolio includes both 
catalog products and custom products . Wireless also includes baseband products, which allow a cell phone to connect to the cellular 
network . We are no longer investing in the development of baseband products, and almost all of our current baseband products are sold 
to a single customer .

Other
In addition to our reportable segments, we also have Other . Other includes other operating segments that neither meet the quantitative 
thresholds for individually reportable segments nor are they aggregated with other operating segments . These operating segments 
primarily include our smaller semiconductor product lines such as DLP® products (primarily used in projectors to create high-definition 
images), custom semiconductors known as ASICs, and our handheld graphing and scientific calculators . 

Other also includes royalties received for our patented technology that we license to other electronics companies and revenue 
from transitional supply agreements that we may enter into in connection with acquisitions and divestitures . Other may also include 
certain unallocated income and expenses such as gains and losses on sales of assets; sales tax refunds; and certain litigation costs, 
settlements or reserves . Except for these few unallocated items, we allocate all of our expenses associated with corporate activities to

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Instruments Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as 
of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 . 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, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations 
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U .S . generally accepted 
accounting principles .

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the

Report by management on internal control over financial reporting

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

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

TI management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 . 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 . 

We acquired National Semiconductor Corporation (National) on September 23, 2011 . We excluded from our assessment the internal 
control over financial reporting of National . National’s results since the acquisition date are included in the December 31, 2011, 
consolidated financial statements of TI and constituted approximately 4 percent and 5 percent of total assets and net assets, 
respectively, as of December 31, 2011, and approximately 2 percent of revenue for the year then ended . See Note 2 to the financial 
statements included elsewhere in this annual report for a discussion of this acquisition . 

Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2011, 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 .

We have audited Texas Instruments Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, 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 .

As indicated in the accompanying Report by management on internal control over financial reporting, management’s assessment of 
and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal controls of National Semiconductor 
Corporation, which is included in the December 31, 2011, consolidated financial statements of Texas Instruments Incorporated and 
constituted approximately 4 percent and 5 percent of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2011, and approximately 
2 percent of revenue for the year then ended . Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Texas Instruments Incorporated also 
did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of National Semiconductor Corporation . 

In our opinion, Texas Instruments Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as 
of December 31, 2011, 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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011, and our report dated February 24, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon .

Overview

We design and make semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world . We began operations 
in 1930 . We are incorporated in Delaware, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and have design, manufacturing or sales operations in 
more than 35 countries . We have four segments: Analog, Embedded Processing, Wireless and Other . We expect Analog and Embedded 
Processing to be our primary growth engines in the years ahead, and we therefore focus our resources on these segments . 

We were the world’s fourth largest semiconductor company in 2011 as measured by revenue, according to preliminary estimates 

from an external source . Additionally, we sell calculators and related products .

On September 23, 2011, we completed the acquisition of National Semiconductor Corporation (National) . The acquisition has 
brought to TI a portfolio of thousands of analog products, strong customer design tools and additional manufacturing capacity, and is 
consistent with our strategy to grow our Analog business . The results of National’s operations from the acquisition date are included in 
our Analog segment under the name Silicon Valley Analog . 

Product information
Semiconductors are electronic components that serve as the building blocks inside modern electronic systems and equipment . 
Semiconductors come in two basic forms: individual transistors and integrated circuits (generally known as “chips”) that combine 
multiple transistors on a single piece of material to form a complete electronic circuit . Our products, more than 80,000 in number, 
are integrated circuits that are used to accomplish many different things, such as converting and amplifying signals, interfacing with 
other devices, managing and distributing power, processing data, canceling noise and improving signal resolution . This broad portfolio 
includes products that are integral to almost all electronic equipment . 

We sell custom and catalog semiconductor products . Custom products are designed for a specific customer for a specific 
application, are sold only to that customer and are typically sold directly to the customer . The life cycles of custom products are 
generally determined by end-equipment upgrade cycles and can be as short as 12 to 24 months . Catalog products are designed for use 
by many customers and/or many applications and are generally sold through both distribution and direct channels . They include both 
proprietary and commodity products . The life cycles of catalog products are generally longer than for custom products .

Additional information regarding each segment’s products follows .

Analog 
Analog semiconductors change real-world signals – such as sound, temperature, pressure or images – by conditioning them, amplifying 
them and often converting them to a stream of digital data that can be processed by other semiconductors, such as digital signal 
processors (DSPs) . Analog semiconductors are also used to manage power distribution and consumption . Sales to our Analog segment’s 
more than 90,000 customers generated about 47 percent of our revenue in 2011 . According to external sources, the worldwide market for 
analog semiconductors was about $43 billion in 2011 . Our Analog segment’s revenue in 2011 was about $6 .5 billion, or about 15 percent 
of this fragmented market, the leading position . We believe that we are well positioned to increase our market share over time . 

Our Analog segment includes the following major product lines: High Volume Analog & Logic (HVAL), Power Management (Power), 

High Performance Analog (HPA) and Silicon Valley Analog (SVA) . 

HVAL products: These include both high-volume analog products and logic and standard linear products . High-volume analog 
includes products for specific applications, including custom products . The life cycles of our high-volume analog products are generally 
shorter than most of our other Analog product lines . End markets for high-volume analog products include communications, automotive, 
computing and many consumer electronics products . Logic and standard linear includes commodity products marketed to many 
different customers for many different applications .

Power products: These include both catalog and custom semiconductors that help customers manage power in any type of 

electronic system . We design and manufacture power management semiconductors for both portable devices (battery-powered devices, 
such as handheld consumer electronics, laptop computers and cordless power tools) and line-powered systems (products that require 
an external electrical source, such as computers, digital TVs, wireless basestations and high-voltage industrial equipment) .

HPA products: These include catalog analog semiconductors, such as amplifiers, data converters and interface semiconductors, that 
we market to many different customers who use them in manufacturing a wide range of products sold in many end markets, including 
the industrial, communications, computing and consumer electronics markets . HPA products generally have long life cycles, often more 
than 10 years .

SVA products: These include catalog analog products, particularly in the areas of power management, data converters, interface and 

operational amplifiers, nearly all of which are complementary to our other Analog products . This portfolio of thousands of products is 
marketed to many different customers who use them in manufacturing a wide range of products sold in many end markets . Many SVA 
products have long life cycles, often more than 10 years .

Embedded Processing
Our Embedded Processing products include our DSPs and microcontrollers . DSPs perform mathematical computations almost 
instantaneously to process or improve digital data . Microcontrollers are designed to control a set of specific tasks for electronic equipment . 
Sales of Embedded Processing products generated about 15 percent of our revenue in 2011 . According to external sources, the worldwide 
market for embedded processors was about $18 billion in 2011 . Our Embedded Processing segment’s revenue in 2011 was about 
$2 .0 billion, or about 12 percent of this fragmented market . We believe we are well positioned to increase our market share over time . 
An important characteristic of our Embedded Processing products is that our customers often invest their own research and 
development (R&D) to write software that operates on our products . This investment tends to increase the length of our customer 
relationships because customers prefer to re-use software from one product generation to the next . We make and sell catalog 
Embedded Processing products used in many different applications and custom Embedded Processing products used in specific 
applications, such as communications infrastructure equipment and automotive . 

Wireless
Growth in the wireless market is being driven by the demand for smartphones, tablet computers and other emerging portable devices . 
Many of today’s smartphones and tablets use an applications processor to run the device’s software operating system and to enable the 
expanding functionality that has made smartphones and tablets the fastest growing wireless market segments . Many wireless devices 
also use other semiconductors to enable wireless connectivity using technologies such as Bluetooth®, WiFi networks, GPS and Near 
Field Communications .

We design, make and sell products to satisfy each of these requirements . Wireless products are typically sold in high volumes . Our 
Wireless portfolio includes both catalog products and custom products . Sales of Wireless products generated about $2 .5 billion, or about 
18 percent of our revenue, in 2011, with a majority of those sales to a single customer .

Our Wireless investments are concentrated on our OMAP™ applications processors and our connectivity products, areas we believe 
offer significant growth opportunities and which will enable us to take advantage of the increasing demand for more powerful and more 
functional wireless devices . We no longer invest in development of baseband products (products that allow a cell phone to connect to 
the cellular network), an area we believe offers far less promising growth prospects . Almost all of our baseband products are sold to a 
single customer . We expect substantially all of our baseband revenue, which was $1 .1 billion in 2011, to cease by the end of 2012 .

Other
Our Other segment includes revenue from our smaller semiconductor product lines and from sales of our handheld graphing and 
scientific calculators . It also includes royalties received for our patented technology that we license to other electronics companies 
and revenue from transitional supply agreements that we may enter into in connection with acquisitions and divestitures . The 
semiconductor products in our Other segment include DLP® products (primarily used in projectors to create high-definition images) 
and custom semiconductors known as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) . This segment generated about $2 .5 billion, or 
about 20 percent of our revenue, in 2011 . We also include in our Other segment certain acquisition-related charges that are not used 
in evaluating results and allocating resources to our segments . These charges include certain fair-value adjustments, restructuring 
charges, transaction expenses, acquisition-related retention bonuses and the amortization of intangible assets . 

Inventory
Our inventory practices differ by product, but we generally maintain inventory levels that are consistent with our expectations of 
customer demand . Because of the longer product life cycles of catalog products and their inherently lower risk of obsolescence, 
we generally carry more of those products than custom products . Additionally, we sometimes maintain catalog-product inventory in 
unfinished wafer form, as well as higher finished goods inventory of low-volume products, allowing greater flexibility in periods of high 
demand . We also have consignment inventory programs in place for our largest customers and some distributors .

Manufacturing
Semiconductor manufacturing begins with a sequence of photo-lithographic and chemical processing steps that fabricate a number of 
semiconductor devices on a thin silicon wafer . Each device on the wafer is tested and the wafer is cut into pieces called chips . Each chip 
is assembled into a package that then is usually retested . The entire process typically requires between 12 and 18 weeks and takes 
place in highly specialized facilities .

We own and operate semiconductor manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia and Europe . These include both high-volume wafer 

fabrication and assembly/test facilities . Our facilities require substantial investment to construct and are largely fixed-cost assets once in 
operation . Because we own much of our manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our operating cost is fixed . In general, these fixed 
costs do not decline with reductions in customer demand or utilization of capacity, potentially hurting our profit margins . Conversely, as product 
demand rises and factory utilization increases, the fixed costs are spread over increased output, potentially benefiting our profit margins .

The cost and lifespan of the equipment and processes we use to manufacture semiconductors vary by product . Our Analog products 

and most of our Embedded Processing products can be manufactured using older, less expensive equipment than is needed for 
manufacturing advanced logic products, such as our Wireless products . Advanced logic wafer manufacturing continually requires new 
and expensive processes and equipment . In contrast, the processes and equipment required for manufacturing our Analog products and 
most of our Embedded Processing products do not have this requirement . 

To supplement our internal wafer fabrication capacity and maximize our responsiveness to customer demand and return on capital, our 

wafer manufacturing strategy utilizes the capacity of outside suppliers, commonly known as foundries . We source about 25 percent of our 
wafers from external foundries, with the vast majority of this outsourcing being for advanced logic wafers . In 2011, external foundries provided 
about 75 percent of the fabricated wafers for our advanced logic manufacturing needs . We expect the proportion of our advanced logic wafers 
provided by foundries will increase over time . We expect to maintain sufficient internal wafer fabrication capacity to meet the vast majority of 
our analog production needs . 

In addition to using foundries to supplement our wafer fabrication capacity, we selectively use subcontractors to supplement our 
assembly/test capacity . We generally use subcontractors for assembly/test of products that would be less cost-efficient to complete 
in-house (e .g ., relatively low-volume products that are unlikely to keep internal equipment fully utilized), or when demand temporarily 
exceeds our internal capacity . We believe we often have a cost advantage from maintaining internal assembly/test capacity . 

Our internal/external manufacturing strategy reduces the level of our required capital expenditures, and thereby reduces our 
subsequent levels of depreciation below what it would be if we sourced all manufacturing internally . Consequently, we experience 
less fluctuation in our profit margins due to changing product demand, and lower cash requirements for expanding and updating our 
manufacturing capabilities . 

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

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

Seasonality
Our revenue and operating results are subject to some seasonal variation . Our semiconductor sales generally are seasonally weaker 
in the first quarter than in other quarters, particularly for products sold into cell phones and other consumer electronics devices, which 
have stronger sales later in the year as manufacturers prepare for the major holiday selling seasons . Calculator revenue is tied to the 
U .S . back-to-school season and is therefore at its highest in the second and third quarters . 

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

2011 compared with 2010
Our 2011 revenue was $13 .73 billion, net income was $2 .24 billion and earnings per share (EPS) were $1 .88 .

In 2011, we made solid progress in strengthening our core businesses of Analog, Embedded Processing and Wireless . Although the 

year started strong, global economic uncertainty and the earthquake in Japan impacted TI, our customers and our suppliers . Despite 
these challenges, we successfully completed the acquisition of National, we gained share in the Analog and Embedded Processing 
markets, and we had solid revenue growth from our OMAP products . We also continued to wind down our baseband operations . As a 
result, we left the year with a sharpened focus on our core businesses . Despite the semiconductor downturn that began in the third 
quarter, we left the year seeing higher-than-expected revenue increases across all our major product lines .

As required by accounting rule ASC 260, net income allocated to unvested restricted stock units (RSUs), on which TI pays dividend 
equivalents, is excluded from the calculation of EPS . The amount excluded from earnings per common share was $34 million, 
$44 million and $14 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively .

Impact of National acquisition
We completed our acquisition of National on September 23, 2011 . We recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed measured 
at fair value as of that date . The total consideration transferred for the acquisition was $6 .56 billion and the fair value of the net assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed after adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3 .03 billion, resulting in goodwill of $3 .53 billion . 
The results of National’s operations from the acquisition date are included in the Analog segment under SVA . See Note 2 to the financial 
statements for more details regarding the acquisition .

We recognized costs associated with the adjustments to write up the value of acquired inventory and property, plant and equipment 
to fair value as of the acquisition date . These fair-value adjustments will have an impact on future operating results . The costs shown 
above are in addition to the normal expensing of the acquired assets based on their carrying or book value prior to the acquisition . These 
additional costs are separately identifiable from the ongoing operating results of SVA that are included in the Analog segment, so we 
have classified them as a part of our Other segment . This presentation is consistent with how management measures the performance 
of those segments .

The total fair-value write-up for the acquired inventory was expensed as that inventory was sold .
The total fair-value write-up for the acquired property, plant and equipment was $436 million, which is being depreciated at a rate of 

about $15 million per quarter beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, and will be recognized in COR . 

See Note 2 to the financial statements for more details regarding these acquisition-related charges . 
Total acquisition-related charges are expected to be about $170 million for the first quarter of 2012 (about $20 million of which 
will be recorded in COR and the balance in Acquisition charges/divestiture (gain)) then drop to about $110 million in the second quarter 
of 2012 . These charges will then continue to decline by about $10 million per quarter until they reach about $80 million, which is the 
ongoing amortization of intangibles amount that will continue for 8 to 10 years .

Impact of restructuring
Also recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011 are restructuring charges associated with our recently announced plans to close two older 
semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Hiji, Japan, and Houston, Texas, over the next 18 months . Combined, these facilities supported 
about 4 percent of TI’s revenue in 2011, and each employs about 500 people . As needed, production from these facilities will be moved to 
other more advanced TI factories . The total charge for these closures is estimated at $215 million, of which $112 million was recognized 
in the fourth quarter and the remainder will be incurred over the next seven quarters . The restructuring charges recognized in the fourth 
quarter of 2011 are included in our Other segment and consist of $107 million for severance and benefit costs and $5 million of accelerated 
depreciation of the facilities’ assets . Of the estimated $215 million total cost, about $135 million will be for severance and related benefits, 
about $30 million will be for accelerated depreciation of facility assets and about $50 million will be for other exit costs . Annual savings will 
be about $100 million once this action is complete . See Note 4 to the financial statements for more details .

Details of 2011 financial results
Revenue in 2011 was $13 .73 billion, down $231 million, or 2 percent, from 2010 due to lower revenue from Wireless baseband 
products . Revenue from our core businesses was higher primarily due to the inclusion of results from SVA, and to a lesser extent, 
increased revenue from OMAP applications processors . 

Gross profit in 2011 was $6 .77 billion, a decrease of $720 million, or 10 percent, from 2010 . This decrease was primarily due to a 
combination of, in decreasing order, lower revenue, lower average levels of factory utilization as we reduced production in response to 
weaker demand, acquisition-related charges reflected in COR and inventory charges . Lower factory utilization decreased our gross profit 
by $175 million from the year-ago period . Gross profit margin was 49 .3 percent of revenue compared with 53 .6 percent in 2010 .

Operating expenses were $1 .72 billion for R&D and $1 .64 billion for SG&A . R&D expense increased $145 million, or 9 percent, from 

2010 due to the addition of SVA and higher product development costs in our other major Analog product lines, Embedded Processing 
and Wireless . R&D expense as a percent of revenue was 12 .5 percent compared with 11 .2 percent in the year-ago period . 

SG&A expense increased $119 million, or 8 percent, from 2010 primarily due to the addition of SVA, and to a lesser extent, higher 

investments in sales and marketing in support of our other major Analog product lines, Embedded Processing and Wireless . SG&A 
expense as a percent of revenue was 11 .9 percent compared with 10 .9 percent in the year-ago period . 

 As mentioned above, restructuring charges for 2011 were associated with actions initiated for facilities in Texas and Japan . 
Restructuring charges for 2010 were associated with actions taken in 2009 and represent pension benefit settlements as terminated 
employees took those benefits in the form of lump-sum payments .

Compared with acquisition charges of $315 million in 2011, in 2010 we recognized a gain of $144 million from the divestiture of a 

product line previously included in our Other segment .

Operating profit was $2 .99 billion, or 21 .8 percent of revenue, compared with $4 .51 billion, or 32 .3 percent of revenue, in 2010 . This 

decrease was due to, in decreasing order, lower gross profit, higher total acquisition-related charges, higher operating expenses and a 
gain on the divestiture of a product line in 2010 .

OI&E for 2011 was income of $5 million . This was $32 million lower than in 2010 due to an expense in 2011 associated with a 

settlement related to a divested business .

Interest and debt expense was $42 million . This includes interest and amortization of debt expense associated with our issuance 
of new debt in 2011 and the assumption of debt as a result of our acquisition of National . See Note 13 to the financial statements for 
details regarding debt outstanding .

The tax provision for 2011 was $719 million compared with $1 .32 billion for the prior year . The decrease was primarily due to lower 

income before income taxes . See Note 7 to the financial statements for a reconciliation of tax rates to the statutory federal tax rate .

Net income was $2 .24 billion, a decrease of $992 million from 2010 . EPS for 2011 was $1 .88 compared with $2 .62 for 2010 . EPS 

benefited $0 .07 from 2010 due to a lower number of average shares outstanding as a result of our stock repurchase program .

Orders were $13 .12 billion, a decrease of 6 percent compared with 2010 . The decrease reflected lower demand across a broad 

range of products .

Analog revenue increased $396 million, or 7 percent, from 2010 primarily due to the inclusion of SVA results, and to a lesser extent, 
increased shipments of Power Management and High Volume Analog & Logic products . Partially offsetting these increases was lower 
revenue from High Performance Analog due to normal price declines . 

Operating profit was $1 .69 billion, or 26 .6 percent of revenue . This was a decrease of $183 million, or 10 percent, compared 
with 2010 due to higher operating expenses from the inclusion of SVA and, to a lesser extent, lower gross profit resulting from lower 
factory utilization .

Wireless revenue decreased $460 million, or 15 percent, from 2010 due to decreased shipments of baseband products, and to a much 
lesser extent, connectivity products . Partially offsetting these decreases was growth in revenue from OMAP applications processors 
due to an increased proportion of shipments of higher-priced products . Baseband revenue for 2011 was $1 .10 billion, a decrease of 
$609 million, or 36 percent, compared with 2010 . We expect baseband quarterly revenue to decline from the fourth quarter level of 
$279 million and range between $50 million and $100 million per quarter during 2012 . 

Operating profit was $412 million, or 16 .4 percent of revenue . This was a decrease of $271 million, or 40 percent, compared with 

2010 primarily due to lower revenue and associated gross profit .

Revenue from Other was $2 .73 billion in 2011 . This was a decrease of $204 million, or 7 percent, from 2010 primarily due to decreased 
shipments across most areas . 

Operating profit for 2011 from Other was $519 million, or 19 .0 percent of revenue . This was a decrease of $945 million, or 65 percent, 

compared with 2010 due to charges associated with the National acquisition; the absence of a gain on divestiture; lower revenue and 
associated gross profit; restructuring charges related to actions to begin in 2012; and the net losses associated with the Japan earthquake . 
See Note 3 to the financial statements for a detailed discussion regarding the impact of the Japan earthquake .

Prior results of operations 

2010 compared with 2009
Our 2010 revenue was $13 .97 billion, net income was $3 .23 billion and EPS was $2 .62 .

2010 was an important year in the transformation of TI to a company focused on Analog and Embedded Processing . We saw 

strong revenue growth of 34 percent led by those businesses as well as the part of our Wireless segment that is focused on 
smartphones and tablet computers . Each of these businesses grew more than 40 percent and gained significant market share . Success 
in these businesses let us again return cash to shareholders by repurchasing $2 .45 billion of our stock and paying dividends of nearly 
$600 million . In 2010, we continued to expand our analog manufacturing capacity through the acquisitions of wafer fabrication facilities 
in Japan and China, and the purchase and installation of analog wafer manufacturing equipment . These manufacturing assets were 
purchased at very cost-effective pricing such that the impact to depreciation will be minimal . In total, the equipment and factories 
purchased at discounted prices since late 2009 will support more than $5 billion of total additional revenue once fully operational . 

Details of 2010 financial results
Revenue in 2010 was $13 .97 billion, up $3 .54 billion, or 34 percent, from 2009 . Revenue in all segments increased compared with 
2009, with particular strength in our core businesses, due to increased shipments across a broad range of products .

Gross profit was $7 .49 billion, an increase of $2 .49 billion, or 50 percent, from 2009 . This increase was primarily due to higher 
revenue, and to a lesser extent, the impact of improved factory utilization . Improved factory utilization increased our gross profit by 
$291 million from 2009 . Gross profit margin was 53 .6 percent of revenue compared with 47 .9 percent in 2009 . 

Operating expenses were $1 .57 billion for R&D and $1 .52 billion for SG&A . R&D expense increased $94 million, or 6 percent, from 
2009 due to higher compensation-related costs . R&D expense as a percent of revenue was 11 .2 percent compared with 14 .2 percent in 
2009 . R&D expense increased in the core businesses .

SG&A expense increased $199 million, or 15 percent, from 2009 primarily due to higher compensation-related costs, and to a lesser 
extent, higher sales and marketing costs . SG&A expense as a percent of revenue was 10 .9 percent compared with 12 .6 percent in 2009 .

Restructuring charges were $33 million compared with $212 million in 2009 . 
In 2010, we recognized a gain of $144 million from the sale of a product line previously included in our Other segment . 
Operating profit was $4 .51 billion, or 32 .3 percent of revenue, compared with $1 .99 billion, or 19 .1 percent of revenue, in 2009 . This 

increase was due to the increase in revenue and the associated gross profit . Operating profit increased from 2009 in all segments . 

The tax provision for 2010 was $1 .32 billion compared with $547 million for the prior year . The increase was due to higher income 

before income taxes . In December 2010, the President signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and 
Job Creation Act of 2010, which reinstated the federal research tax credit with effect retroactively to January 1, 2010 . The effect of the 
reinstatement of this tax credit was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010 .

Net income was $3 .23 billion, an increase of $1 .76 billion from 2009 . EPS for 2010 was $2 .62 compared with $1 .15 for 2009 . EPS 

benefited $0 .12 from a lower number of average shares outstanding as a result of our stock repurchase program . 

Orders were $13 .93 billion, an increase of 23 percent compared with 2009 . The increase reflected higher demand across a broad 

range of products .

Revenue from Other was $2 .94 billion in 2010 . This was an increase of $808 million, or 38 percent, from 2009 primarily due to 
increased shipments of DLP products and, to a lesser extent, custom ASIC products . Also contributing to the increase in revenue were 
higher royalties, and revenue from transitional supply agreements associated with recently acquired factories and from increased 
shipments of calculators .

Operating profit for 2010 from Other was $1 .46 billion, or 49 .9 percent of revenue . This was an increase of $752 million, or 
106 percent, compared with 2009 due to higher revenue and associated gross profit and, to a lesser extent, the gain on the sale of a 
product line .

Financial condition 

At the end of 2011, total cash (Cash and cash equivalents plus Short-term investments) was $2 .94 billion, a decrease of $137 million 
from the end of 2010 . 

Accounts receivable were $1 .55 billion at the end of 2011 . This was an increase of $27 million compared with the end of 2010 . 
Days sales outstanding were 41 at the end of 2011 compared with 39 at the end of 2010 . The increase in accounts receivable was due 
to higher revenue in December 2011 than in December 2010 .

Inventory was $1 .79 billion at the end of 2011 . This was an increase of $268 million from the end of 2010 . Days of inventory at 
the end of 2011 were 86 compared with 83 at the end of 2010 . The increase in inventory was primarily due to rebuilding inventory to 
support higher customer service levels with shorter lead times, as well as inventory associated with the National acquisition .

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 revolving credit facilities . Cash flow from operations for 2011 was $3 .26 billion, a decrease of $564 million from the 
prior year due to lower net income .

We had $992 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1 .94 billion of short-term investments as of December 31, 2011 . 
We have a variable-rate revolving credit facility that allows us to borrow up to $920 million until August 2012 . We have a second 
variable-rate revolving credit facility that allows us to borrow an additional $1 billion until July 2012 . We intend to replace these credit 
facilities in 2012 .

In 2011, investing activities used $5 .43 billion primarily for the National acquisition, net of cash acquired . See Notes 2 and 10 to the 
financial statements for details regarding acquisitions . In comparison, in 2010 we used $199 million for acquisitions that included wafer 
fabrication facilities and related equipment . For 2011, capital expenditures were $816 million compared with $1 .20 billion in 2010 . 
Capital expenditures in 2011 were primarily for assembly/test equipment and analog wafer manufacturing equipment . 

For 2011, financing activities provided net cash of $2 .59 billion compared with cash used in financing activities of $2 .63 billion in 
2010 . For 2011, we received proceeds of $3 .50 billion from the issuance in May of fixed- and variable-rate long-term debt (net of the 
original issuance discount) and a net $1 billion from the issuance of commercial paper . The long-term debt was used in the National 
acquisition and the commercial paper was issued for general corporate purposes and to maintain cash balances at desired levels . In 
conjunction with the issuance of long-term debt, we also entered into an interest rate swap that effectively fixes the interest rate on 
the long-term variable-rate debt . See Note 13 to the financial statements for additional details . We used $1 .97 billion to repurchase 
59 million shares of our common stock in 2011, compared with $2 .45 billion used to repurchase 94 million shares in 2010 . Dividends 
paid in 2011 of $644 million, compared with $592 million in 2010, reflect an increase in the dividend rate partially offset by the lower 
number of shares outstanding . On September 15, 2011, we announced a 31 percent increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate . 
The quarterly dividend increased from $0 .13 to $0 .17 per share, resulting in annual dividend payments of $0 .68 per share . Employee 
exercises of TI stock options are also reflected in cash from financing activities . In 2011, these exercises provided cash proceeds of 
$690 million compared with $407 million in 2010 .

We believe we have the necessary financial resources and operating plans to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, 

dividend payments and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months .

(a)  Long-term debt obligations represent principal payments and include amounts classified as current portion of long-term debt . The 

related interest payments are not included . See Note 13 to the financial statements for additional information .

(b)  Includes minimum payments for leased facilities and equipment, as well as purchase of industrial gases under contracts accounted 

for as an operating lease .

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

(d)  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 $5 million of cancellation penalties may be required to be paid, which are 
not reflected in the table .

(e)  Includes an estimate of payments under this plan for the liability that existed at December 31, 2011 .

(f)  The table excludes $210 million of uncertain tax liabilities under ASC 740, as well as any planned, future funding contributions to 
retirement benefit plans . Amounts associated with uncertain tax liabilities have been excluded because of the difficulty in making 
reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities . In connection with retirement 
benefit obligations, we plan to make funding contributions to our retirement benefit plans of about $120 million in 2012, but funding 
projections beyond 2012 are not practical to estimate due to the rules affecting tax-deductible contributions and the impact of the 
plans’ asset performance, interest rates and potential U .S . and non-U .S . legislation .

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, including sales to our distributors, 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 amounts are fixed or determinable, and collection of the revenue is reasonably assured . Revenue from sales of 
our products that are subject to inventory consignment agreements is recognized when the customer or distributor pulls product from 
consignment inventory that we store at designated locations . 

We reduce revenue based on estimates of future credits to be granted to customers . Credits include volume-based incentives, 

other special pricing arrangements and product returns due to quality issues . We also grant discounts to some distributors for 
prompt payments . Our estimates of future credits are based on historical experience, analysis of product shipments and contractual 
arrangements with customers and distributors .

In 2011, about 40 percent of our revenue was generated from sales of our products to distributors . We recognize distributor revenue 
net of allowances, which are management’s estimates based on analysis of historical data, current economic conditions and contractual 
terms . These allowances recognize the impact of credits granted to distributors under certain programs common in the semiconductor 
industry whereby distributors receive certain price adjustments to meet individual competitive opportunities, or are allowed to return 
or scrap a limited amount of product in accordance with contractual terms agreed upon with the distributor, or receive price protection 
credits when our standard published prices are lowered from the price the distributor paid for product still in its inventory . Historical 
claims data are maintained for each of the programs, with differences among geographic regions taken into consideration . We 
continually monitor the actual claimed allowances against our estimates, and we adjust our estimates as appropriate to reflect trends 
in distributor revenue and inventory levels . Allowances are also adjusted when recent historical data do not represent anticipated future 
activity . About 30 percent of our distributor revenue is generated from sales of consigned inventory, and we expect this proportion to 
grow over time . The allowances we record against this revenue are not material .

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

Income taxes
In determining net income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments in the calculation of tax 
provisions and the resultant tax liabilities, and in the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between 
the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense .

In the ordinary course of global business, there may be many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is 

uncertain . The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws . We recognize potential 
liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U .S . and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of the ultimate resolution of whether, 
and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due . Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the 
final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals .

As part of our financial process, we must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets can be recovered . If recovery is not 
likely, the provision for taxes must be increased by recording a reserve in the form of a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets 
that are estimated not to be ultimately recoverable . In this process, certain relevant criteria are evaluated including the existence of 
deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, the taxable income in prior years that can be used to absorb net 
operating losses and credit carrybacks, and taxable income in future years . Our judgment regarding future recoverability of our deferred 
tax assets based on these criteria may change due to various factors, including changes in U .S . or international tax laws and changes 
in market conditions and their impact on our assessment of taxable income in future periods . These changes, if any, may require 
material adjustments to the deferred tax assets and an accompanying reduction or increase in net income in the period when such 
determinations are made .

In addition to the factors described above, the effective tax rate reflected in forward-looking statements is based on then-current tax 

law . Significant changes during the year in enacted tax law could affect these estimates .

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

Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting requires that we recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date 
fair values . Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the acquisition date net fair values of the assets 
acquired and the liabilities assumed . 

The measurement of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires considerable judgment . Although 

independent appraisals may be used to assist in the determination of the fair values of certain assets and liabilities, those determinations 
are usually based on significant estimates provided by management, such as forecasted revenue or profit . In determining the fair value 
of intangible assets, an income approach is generally used and may incorporate the use of a discounted cash flow method . In applying 
the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash flows and residual values for each intangible asset are discounted to a 
present value using a discount rate based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for the semiconductor industry . These cash 
flow projections are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions including revenue growth rates, operating 
margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements . 

While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the 
acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement . During the measurement period, which occurs before 
finalization of the purchase price allocation, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair values of 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded on a retrospective basis as of the acquisition date, with the corresponding offset to 
goodwill . Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments will be recorded to our Consolidated statements 
of income . The measurement period for the National acquisition concluded on December 31, 2011 . 

Impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill
We review acquisition-related intangible assets for impairment when certain indicators suggest the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable . Factors considered include the underperformance 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 the assets to estimated 
future undiscounted cash flows . If future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge would be 
recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value, determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique . Additionally, 
in the case of intangible assets that will continue to be used in future periods, a shortened useful life may be utilized if appropriate, 
resulting in accelerated amortization based upon the expected net realizable value of the asset at the date the asset will no longer 
be utilized . 

We review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise, such as significant changes in 

business climate, operating performance or competition, or upon the disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit . A significant 
amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred between annual test dates . This impairment 
review compares the fair value for each reporting unit containing goodwill to its carrying value . Determining the fair value of a reporting 
unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, discount rates based on weighted 
average cost of capital and future economic and market conditions . We base our fair-value estimates on assumptions we believe to 
be reasonable . 

Actual cash flow amounts for future periods may differ from estimates used in impairment testing .

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of December 31, 2011, 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 14 to the financial statements for a discussion of our commitments and contingencies .

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk 

Foreign exchange risk
The U .S . dollar is the functional currency for financial reporting . We use forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings 
impact exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U .S . dollar net balance sheet exposures . For example, at year-end 2011, we 
had forward currency exchange contracts outstanding with a notional value of $516 million to hedge net balance sheet exposures 
(including $253 million to sell Japanese yen, $105 million to sell euros and $39 million to sell British pound sterling) . Similar hedging 
activities existed at year-end 2010 .

Because most of the aggregate non-U .S . dollar balance sheet exposure is hedged by these forward currency exchange contracts, 

based on year-end 2011 balances and currency exchange rates, a hypothetical 10 percent plus or minus fluctuation in non-U .S . 
currency exchange rates would result in a pre-tax currency exchange gain or loss of approximately $3 million .

Interest rate risk 
We have the following potential exposure to changes in interest rates: (1) the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our 
investments in cash equivalents and short-term investments, which could produce a gain or a loss; and (2) the effect of changes in 
interest rates on the fair value of our debt and an associated interest rate swap .

As of December 31, 2011, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our long-term 

debt and the associated interest rate swap by $117 million . Because interest rates on our long-term debt are fixed or have been 
swapped to fixed rates, changes in interest rates would not affect the cash flows associated with long-term debt . A hypothetical 100 
basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not change the fair value of our $1 .0 billion of outstanding commercial paper by 
a material amount because of its short duration . 

Equity risk
Long-term investments at year-end 2011 include the following:

•	 	Investments	in	mutual	funds	–	includes	mutual	funds	that	were	selected	to	generate	returns	that	offset	changes	in	certain	
liabilities related to deferred compensation arrangements . The mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments .
•	 	Investments	in	venture	capital	funds	–	includes	investments	in	limited	partnerships	(accounted	for	under	either	the	equity	or	

cost method) .

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

Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value . Changes in prices of the mutual fund investments are expected to offset related 

changes in deferred compensation liabilities such that a 10 percent increase or decrease in the investments’ fair values would not 
materially affect operating results . Non-marketable equity securities and some venture capital funds are stated at cost . Impairments 
deemed to be other-than-temporary are expensed in net income . Investments in the remaining venture capital funds are stated using 
the equity method . See Note 9 to the financial statements for details of equity and other long-term investments .

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 herein that describe TI’s 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	in	key	markets	such	as	communications,	computing,	industrial,	and	consumer	

electronics;

•	 	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;

•	 	Changes	in	laws	and	regulations	to	which	TI	or	its	suppliers	are	or	may	become	subject,	such	as	those	imposing	fees	or	reporting	

or substitution costs relating to the discharge of emissions into the environment or the use of certain raw materials in our 
manufacturing processes;

•	 	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;
•	 	Impairments	of	our	non-financial	assets;
•	 	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;	
•	 	Timely	implementation	of	new	manufacturing	technologies,	installation	of	manufacturing	equipment	and	the	ability	to	obtain	

needed third-party foundry and assembly/test subcontract services;
•	 	TI’s	obligation	to	make	principal	and	interest	payments	on	its	debt;	and
•	 	TI’s	ability	to	successfully	integrate	National	Semiconductor’s	operations,	product	lines	and	technologies,	and	to	realize	

opportunities for growth and cost savings from the acquisition .

For a more detailed discussion of these factors see the Risk Factors discussion 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 this report (March 2012), and we undertake no 
obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances .
