TI Reports Higher Revenues, Profit

Texas Instruments reported Q2 revenue of $3.50 billion, net income of $769 million and earnings per share of 62 cents. TI's operating profit increased compared with the second quarter of 2009 and the prior quarter of 2010 due to higher gross profit, which primarily reflects higher revenue.


"Our Analog and Embedded Processing businesses turned in double-digit sequential growth, outpacing their respective markets and again confirming their ability to positively impact the financial performance of TI. As a result, we delivered our highest-ever quarterly operating profit," said Rich Templeton, TI chairman, president and chief executive officer.


"Orders were strong in the quarter, backlog increased and we expect to grow revenue again in the third quarter. Our steady investments in production capacity, even through last year's downturn, are now allowing us to meet higher demand levels from customers and simultaneously reduce lead times, which we believe is not only in the best interest of our customers, but will also help us gain share.
