TI's 1995 Earnings Top $1B On 27 Percent Revenue Growth
Company Achieves Third Consecutive Year of Record Financial Results


DALLAS (January 23, 1996) -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) 
capitalized on strong performance in its semiconductor business and 
robust worldwide semiconductor market growth in 1995 to produce the best 
financial results in company history. TI achieved record revenues, 
profits and earnings per share for both fourth quarter 1995 and the full 
year.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

TI's net revenues for 1995 were $13.1 billion, up 27 percent from $10.3 
billion in 1994, with most of the increase coming from semiconductors.  
Profit from operations was $1594 million, up 47 percent from $1083 
million in 1994.  This improvement was primarily due to higher 
semiconductor operating profits and higher royalties, despite the effect 
of unfavorable performance in notebook computers and increased 
investments in emerging opportunities. 

Net income for the year was $1088 million, compared with $691 million in 
1994, an increase of 57 percent.  Earnings per share, after the effect 
of the two-for-one stock split announced June 15, 1995, were $5.63, 
versus $3.63 for 1994.  Consistent with its goal of increasing 
shareholder value, TI posted a return on invested capital (ROIC) of 24.8 
percent, up from 19.5 percent in 1994.

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 1995 were $3603 million, up 30 
percent from $2782 million in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Most of the 
increase came from record semiconductor revenues.  Profit from 
operations increased 41 percent to $409 million, from $291 million in 
the same period in 1994.  Semiconductor operating profits nearly doubled 
from the fourth quarter of 1994, and royalties were substantially 
higher.  Notebook computers operated at a loss for the quarter. 

TI's financial results in the fourth quarter of 1995 also include 
substantially higher investments in marketing and new product 
development, as well as charges for streamlining operations in the 
company's software and notebook computer businesses.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 1995 was $291 million, and earnings 
per share were $1.50, compared with net income of $188 million and 
earnings per share of $0.99 in the year-ago fourth quarter.

"Clearly, 1995 was a very good year," said Jerry R. Junkins, TI 
chairman, president and chief executive officer.  "We benefited from 
focusing on operational excellence and further refinement of our long-
term business strategies, coupled with a year of more than 40 percent 
worldwide semiconductor market growth.  The result was a third 
consecutive year of record financial performance. 

"Although we appear to be entering a period of slower industry growth, 
we intend to step up our investments to strengthen TI's long-term 
position to build on the gains we've made during the last three years," 
Junkins said. 

SEMICONDUCTOR

TI's semiconductor orders in the fourth quarter of 1995 were up strongly 
from a year ago, but down slightly from the prior quarter, reflecting 
some buildup in customer inventories of semiconductors and pricing 
pressures, particularly for dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) and 
standard logic products.  Combined orders for digital signal processors 
(DSPs) and mixed-signal products more than doubled versus the year-ago 
quarter. DSPs and mixed-signal products continue to benefit from new 
product introductions and new design wins, particularly in hard disk 
drives and telecommunications products.

TI's semiconductor revenues were up sequentially and reached record
levels for the fourth quarter of 1995 and for the year, primarily due to
growth in memory and application specific products.  Profits, up
substantially in 1995 over 1994, also reached record levels.  
Semiconductor operating margins improved in 1995, primarily due to
increased manufacturing productivity.  

TI has focused on operational excellence to continue improvements in 
semiconductor manufacturing yield, cycle time, asset utilization, and 
on-time delivery.  As a result, the company generated additional wafer 
output from existing facilities equivalent to the capacity of one major 
wafer fabrication facility, for the second consecutive year.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS & ELECTRONICS

During 1995, TI's defense systems and electronics business continued to 
see favorable results from its focus on customer satisfaction and 
operational excellence.  Shorter cycle times and the Defense 
Department's movement toward commercial practices helped support an 
improving revenue trend and stable margins.  Revenues in the fourth 
quarter were up both sequentially and on a year-to-year basis, partially 
due to growing international demand for Paveway precision-guided 
weapons, which have now been sold to more than 25 countries outside the 
United States.

During 1995, TI completed three small defense acquisitions that will 
strengthen the company's capabilities in mission planning, logistics 
management and digital battlefield technologies.

For 1995, revenues were up slightly, with increased shipments of Paveway 
weapons and emerging programs more than offsetting reduced shipments of 
HARM missiles.  Success in 1995 lays the foundation for moderate growth 
for this business in the future.

MATERIALS & CONTROLS

TI's materials and controls business experienced solid growth and record 
revenues for the second consecutive year in 1995.  Today, the core 
controls business enjoys market leadership around the world. Future 
growth opportunities will be focused on emerging markets such as Asia, 
Eastern Europe and Latin America, as well as developing new sensors for 
automotive electronics and further growth in applications for radio-
frequency identification systems.

PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY PRODUCTS

Revenues in TI's notebook computer business were up substantially in the 
fourth quarter of 1995, reflecting strong customer reception of the 
Extensa( line of value-priced notebook computers.  The calculator 
business experienced a record year, extending its market leadership in 
instructional calculators.  During 1995, TI significantly increased 
marketing investments in the notebook computer business to increase 
brand awareness and aggressively communicate a strategic shift that 
emphasizes mobility and connectivity in the networked economy.  These 
investments, coupled with intense price competition, caused the business 
to operate at a loss during the quarter and for the year.  The high 
levels of marketing investment and new product development necessary to 
improve the competitiveness of this business are expected to constrain 
its near-term financial performance.

EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES

During the fourth quarter of 1995, TI's software business took actions 
to further streamline operations and focus on strategic areas such as 
object oriented tools, Internet and department solutions.  While TI 
software operated at a loss for the full year, record revenues were 
achieved during the fourth quarter of 1995.

In digital imaging, TI is currently delivering preproduction Digital 
Light Processing( subsystems for final qualification by projection 
display manufacturers.  TI also expects shipments of the first 
production subsystems to support deliveries by product manufacturers in 
the first quarter of 1996.

SUMMARY

In the near term, TI will be affected by inventory corrections and 
pricing pressures in certain areas of the semiconductor market.  The 
company's DRAM joint ventures, which produce about 75 percent of the 
DRAMs marketed by TI, will help reduce the volatility of these market 
conditions on TI.  However, costs associated with new semiconductor 
wafer fabrication facilities will impact the first half of 1996, with 
little incremental revenue to offset these costs until the second half 
of the year. TI believes that industry demand for memory will continue 
to experience solid growth in 1996, despite near-term inventory 
corrections and price declines. 

As previously announced, four semiconductor patent licenses expired at 
the end of 1995 and have not yet been renewed.  TI does not accrue 
royalties in the absence of agreements.  Royalty revenue from these 
licenses contributed about $108 million to revenues in the fourth 
quarter of 1995, principally attributable to Samsung Electronics Co., 
Ltd. of Korea, with which TI is now in litigation.

Additionally, several licenses will expire at the end of the first 
quarter of 1996. Royalty revenue from these licenses was about $40 
million in the fourth quarter of 1995.  The expiration of these licenses 
will have no effect on first quarter 1996 royalty revenue.

Negotiations continue for renewal of expired and expiring licenses. 
However, these negotiations by their nature are not predictable as to 
outcome or timing.

"Over the past three decades, the world semiconductor market has grown 
at an average rate of about 15 percent per year," Junkins said.  "The 
semiconductor content of electronic end equipment is increasing rapidly, 
and new semiconductor markets are rapidly emerging in Asia that will 
rival the size of major markets like Japan and the U.S. in the next 
decade. Because of these factors, we believe the world semiconductor 
market will grow on average 20 percent or more per year, including 
1996."

To accelerate the company's future growth, TI plans to increase capital 
expenditures in 1996 to about $2.5 billion, up significantly from $1.4 
billion in 1995.  TI-funded R&D will be increased in 1996 to about $1.1 
billion to support targeted opportunities in digital signal processing 
solutions, advanced memory and microprocessors, digital imaging 
technology, and wireless transmission of video, voice and data.

"We have the core competencies and technologies that play right to the 
heart of the digital revolution, the explosion of Internet usage, and 
the pervasiveness of the networked society," Junkins said.

"We are in an industry that has the opportunity to grow faster in the 
next decade than it has in its previous 30-year history.  And TI today 
is a company that is better positioned in products and technologies, in 
our global presence, and in our commitment to customers than we ever 
have been."

TI's orders for 1995 were $13.7 billion, up 32 percent from $10.4 
billion in 1994. Significantly higher semiconductor orders in the 
components segment were the primary contributor to the change.

TI's net revenues for 1995 were $13.1 billion, up 27 percent from $10.3 
billion in 1994. The increase was due primarily to higher semiconductor 
revenues in the components segment, resulting from increased shipments 
and new products. Demand was particularly strong for digital signal 
processors, mixed-signal products and memory. Profit from operations was 
$1594 million, up 47 percent from $1083 million in 1994.  Higher 
semiconductor operating profits accounted for much of the increase; 
higher royalties also contributed.  Results for 1994 include $132 
million in pretax restructuring and divestiture charges taken in the 
first quarter.

Results for 1995 include significantly higher royalty revenues, both for 
the fourth quarter and for the year. 

TI's orders for the fourth quarter of 1995 were $3583 million, compared 
with $2534 million for the same period in 1994. Higher semiconductor and 
defense systems and electronics orders were the primary contributors to 
the increase. TI's semiconductor orders were up over year-ago levels, 
with strong growth in digital signal processors, mixed-signal products 
and memory.

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 1995 were $3603 million, compared 
with $2782 million in the fourth quarter of 1994.  The increase was due 
primarily to higher semiconductor revenues in the components segment, 
because of increased volume and new products.

Profit from operations for the fourth quarter increased 41 percent to 
$409 million, from $291 million in the same period of 1994.  
Improvements in semiconductor operations and higher royalty revenues 
were the primary contributors to the increase, partially offset by 
losses in the digital segment.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 1995 was $291 million, and earnings 
per share were $1.50, compared with net income of $188 million and 
earnings per share of $0.99 in the fourth quarter of 1994.

TI's backlog of unfilled orders as of December 31, 1995, was $4528 
million, up $615 million from the end of 1994, due to an increase in 
semiconductor backlog.  Backlog was down $7 million from the end of the 
third quarter of 1995.

TI-funded R&D was $927 million for 1995 and $279 million for the fourth 
quarter, compared with $689 million and $190 million for the same 
periods of 1994.

Capital expenditures were $1439 million in 1995 and $525 million in the 
fourth quarter, compared with $1076 million and $320 million in the same 
periods of 1994.

Depreciation for 1995 was $756 million, compared with $665 million in 
1994, and $206 million in the fourth quarter of 1995, compared with $179 
million in the same period of 1994.  Depreciation in 1996 is expected to 
be about $1 billion.

COMPONENTS SEGMENT

Orders in the components segment were up 45 percent for the year, and 
revenues up 39 percent from 1994, with particular strength in 
semiconductors, which grew faster than the segment.  Components segment 
profits were up 66 percent, primarily due to improved semiconductor 
manufacturing productivity and higher royalties.

For the fourth quarter of 1995, orders in the components segment were up 
39 percent over the same period in 1994.  Segment revenues were up 38 
percent from the same period of a year ago, reflecting higher 
semiconductor revenues, which grew faster than the segment.  Segment 
profit increased substantially over the fourth quarter of 1994 because 
of improved semiconductor operating performance and higher royalties.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS & ELECTRONICS SEGMENT

In TI's defense systems and electronics segment, 1995 orders, revenues 
and margins were essentially flat with 1994.

Fourth-quarter 1995 orders in defense systems and electronics were up 93 
percent from the fourth quarter of 1994, primarily due to timing of 
orders.  Revenues were up 6 percent from the fourth quarter of 1994, 
primarily due to increased shipments to international customers.  
Margins remained essentially flat with the fourth quarter of 1994.

DIGITAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Orders in TI's digital products segment were up 14 percent in 1995, and 
revenues up 11 percent, compared with 1994.  The segment operated at a 
loss during the year, due to increased marketing expenses and intense 
price competition in notebook computers, as well as continued 
investments and new product development in communications and 
electronics systems, and in the software business.

For the fourth quarter of 1995, orders in the digital segment were up 26 
percent and revenues were up 21 percent from the fourth quarter of 1994, 
primarily due to increased shipments of notebook computers. The segment 
operated at a loss for the quarter.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TI's financial condition remains strong. Cash flow from operating 
activities net of additions to property, plant and equipment was a 
positive $228 million for year 1995.  During the year, cash and cash 
equivalents plus short-term investments increased by $263 million to 
$1553 million. In January 1995 the company reduced to zero (from $125 
million) the outstanding balance of its asset securitization agreement, 
and terminated this agreement effective January 30, 1995.  TI's year-end 
1995 debt-to-total-capital ratio of .17 is down .02 from the third 
quarter level, and down .04 from the year-end 1994 value.

Unused authorizations for future capital expenditures were $1654 million 
at December 31, 1995.  TI plans to raise capital expenditures in 1996 to 
about $2.5 billion, up from $1.4 billion in 1995.  The company is 
considering various debt financing alternatives in addition to existing 
cash balances as sources of funding for these expenditures.

The company maintains unused lines of credit to support commercial paper 
borrowing and to provide additional liquidity. Unused lines of credit 
were approximately $538 million at December 31, 1995. Of this amount, 
$440 million was available to support commercial paper borrowing.

The company believes that its financial condition provides the 
foundation for continued support of the programs essential to TI's 
future.
