Analog revenue rose 8%, but Embedded Processing sales declined 4% from the year-ago quarter. Cash flow from operations was $7 billion for the trailing 12 months and free cash flow was $5.9 billion, or 37.5% of revenue. This reflects the quality of the product portfolio and the efficiency of the manufacturing strategy, including the benefit of 300-millimeter analog production.
Moreover, Texas Instruments has returned $6.2 billion to shareholders over the last 12 months through stock repurchases and dividends.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, the company expects revenue in the range of $3.60 billion to $3.90 billion and earnings per share between $1.14 and $1.34.
