The company beat on all three expectations, reporting earnings per share of $2.47 and revenue of $5.24 billion for Q3 2022. Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO, outlined the following key points in the earnings report:
"Revenue increased 1% sequentially and increased 13% from the same quarter a year ago, about as expected. During the quarter we experienced expected weakness in personal electronics and expanding weakness across industrial.
"Our cash flow from operations of $9.0 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash flow for the same period was $5.9 billion and 29% of revenue. This reflects the quality of our product portfolio, as well as the efficiency of our manufacturing strategy, including the benefit of 300-mm production.
"Over the past 12 months we invested $3.3 billion in R&D and SG&A, invested $3.1 billion in capital expenditures and returned $7.1 billion to owners.
"TI's fourth quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $4.40 billion to $4.80 billion and earnings per share between $1.83 and $2.11. We continue to expect our 2022 effective tax rate to be about 14%."
It’s worth noting that Texas Instruments lowered their guidance for Q4 2022 from $2.21 per share to $1.83 to $2.11 per share. They also lowered revenue expectations from $4.9 billion to a range of $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion. That level of uncertainty is undoubtedly cause for concern and the stock reflected that in after hours in Tuesday. Texas Instruments was down over 5 percent in after hours trading.
