"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: The statements contained in this report on Form 8-K are "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 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 the company
or its management:
- Market demand for semiconductors, particularly for analog chips and digital
signal processors in key markets, such as telecommunications and computers;
- 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;
- Losses or curtailments of purchases from key customers;
- The timing and amount of distributor and other customer inventory
adjustments;
- The financial impact of inadequate or excess TI inventories to meet demand
that differs from projections;
- TI's ability to maintain and enforce a strong intellectual property
portfolio and obtain needed licenses from third parties;
- Consolidation of TI's 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 and critical manufacturing
equipment;
- Changes in the tax rate applicable to TI as a result of changes in tax law,
the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed,
and the ability to realize deferred tax assets;
- TI's ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel; and
- Timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, installation of
manufacturing equipment, and the ability to obtain needed third-party
foundry and assembly/test subcontract services.
For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors, see the text under
the heading "Cautionary Statements Regarding Future Results of Operations" in
Item 1 of TI's most recent Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in
this Form 8-K are made only as of the date of this Form 8-K and TI undertakes no
obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events
or circumstances.
