DALLAS, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ:TXN) today reported first quarter revenue of $4.07 billion, net income of $1.18 billion and earnings per share of $1.28. Earnings per share included a 5-cent benefit that was not in the company's original guidance.
Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Haviv Ilan, TI's president and CEO, made the following comments:
- "Revenue increased 11% from the same quarter a year ago and increased 2% sequentially. All of our markets grew sequentially with the exception of a seasonal decline in personal electronics.
- "Our cash flow from operations of $6.2 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model, the quality of our product portfolio and the benefit of 300mm production. Free cash flow for the same period was $1.7 billion.
- "Over the past 12 months we invested $3.8 billion in R&D and SG&A, invested $4.7 billion in capital expenditures and returned $6.4 billion to owners.
- "TI's second quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $4.17 billion to $4.53 billion and earnings per share between $1.21 and $1.47. In addition, in second quarter, we now expect our effective tax rate to be about 12% to 13%."
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from U.S. CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS Act) incentives.

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

This release also includes references to operating taxes, a non-GAAP term we use to describe taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items. We believe the term operating taxes helps to differentiate from effective taxes, which include discrete tax items.
