The company's net income also rose to $1.18 billion, up from $1.11 billion, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of $1.28, compared to $1.20 in the prior year. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by higher sales in the Analog segment, which saw a 13% increase in revenue, while the Embedded Processing segment experienced a slight decline of 1%.

In terms of operational metrics, TI's gross profit for the quarter was $2.31 billion, reflecting a 10% increase year-over-year, although the gross profit margin slightly decreased to 56.8% from 57.2%.

The company reported an operating profit of $1.32 billion, representing 32.5% of revenue, compared to 35.1% in the same quarter of 2024.

TI's balance sheet showed total assets of $33.76 billion as of March 31, 2025, down from $35.51 billion at the end of 2024. The decrease was attributed to a reduction in cash and cash equivalents, which fell to $2.76 billion from $3.20 billion. The company also reported an increase in accounts receivable and inventory levels, indicating a potential buildup in working capital. TI's total liabilities decreased to $17.35 billion, with long-term debt remaining stable at approximately $12.85 billion.

Strategically, TI continues to focus on enhancing its manufacturing capabilities and product offerings. The company invested $3.8 billion in R&D and SG&A over the past year and allocated $4.7 billion for capital expenditures, which included investments in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. TI also benefited from $260 million in incentives from the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, which supports domestic semiconductor production. The company returned $6.4 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases, reflecting its commitment to returning value to investors.

Looking ahead, TI remains optimistic about its growth prospects, emphasizing its focus on long-term free cash flow per share growth. The company plans to maintain elevated levels of capital expenditures to strengthen its competitive advantages in manufacturing and technology. TI's management is closely monitoring market conditions and customer demand, particularly in the industrial and automotive sectors, as it navigates the evolving geopolitical landscape.
