Q&A

(1/20) Q&A: Will first-half strength and auto inflection continue into Q3/2H?
• 📈 Management sees a stronger and broader demand setup in July, with growth extending beyond industrial and data center into automotive.
• 🌐 Above-seasonal Q3 guide is expected to get contribution from industrial, data center, automotive, and traditional personal electronics strength.
• 🔋 Automotive inflection built through the quarter, led by China EVs and hybrids plus customers restocking from very low inventory.

(2/20) Q&A: Are positive pricing initiatives being executed and when?
• 💲 First-half pricing was stable/flat, which is above TI’s typical annual price decline of a couple of points.
• 🗣️ Price increases have started via direct customer-by-customer discussions, with some effect in Q3 continuing into Q4 and possibly next year.
• 📡 Pressure and opportunity are mainly on Analog now, with Embedded joining and more Embedded pricing centered toward next year.

(3/20) Q&A: Factory loadings trajectory and desired inventory position
• 🏭 Short-term demand was supported through inventory, while loadings are being prepared for future demand.
• ⬆️ Loadings increased from Q1 to Q2 and continued rising through Q2.
• 🏗️ Q3 loadings depend on demand, with clean room space available to equip and ramp across a wide range of scenarios.

(4/20) Q&A: Free cash flow pace versus Capital Management Day framework
• 📐 Management reiterated the prior revenue/FCF framework remains valid for modeling.
• 💵 At $20 billion revenue the framework was about $8–9 billion FCF, and at $22 billion about $9–10 billion.
• 📊 Investors were told they can use that framework going forward rather than a new exceed/miss call.

(5/20) Q&A: Q3 OpEx seasonality versus growth-driven spending
• 📉 Rafael said OpEx, net other income and expense, and acquisition charges should be flat from Q2 to Q3.
• 🧮 That flatness was offered to help model the company and gross margins.
• 📋 No growth-driven OpEx step-up versus normal seasonal decline was guided.

(6/20) Q&A: Personal electronics outlook amid memory dynamics
• 📱 PE typically grows nicely in Q3, sometimes mid-teens, but this year sequential growth is expected at a lower level.
• ⚠️ Q2 PE was flat year-over-year and shortages are putting pressure on PE customers.
• 🌐 Q3 growth is more broad across markets this time, with PE still a participant given high demand breadth.

(7/20) Q&A: Data center full-year outlook and 800V competitive position
• 🖥️ Strong data center demand is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.
• ⚡ 800V architectures phase in with more conversion stages, expanding TAM for Analog parts, Embedded controllers, and signal chain.
• 🔌 Longer term, direct conversion from 800V toward 12 or 6 volts is envisioned, with higher voltage meaning more opportunity.

(8/20) Q&A: Data center gross margin versus corporate average
• 📊 To date, data center profitability has been pretty similar to the overall corporate average.
• ⚖️ Management would not skew investors on what data center will do to overall gross margins as it ramps.
• 🏭 Ramps including data center are on 300-millimeter newer assets with excellent fall-through ability.

(9/20) Q&A: Industrial recovery cycle length and Q3 pricing contribution
• ⚙️ Even after nice Q2 growth, industrial remains about 5–6 points below the 2022 peak, leaving substantial room on a mid- to high-single-digit TAM trend.
• 🏗️ Data center is a tailwind into industrial via energy infrastructure and test and measurement, with customers early and not yet building inventory.
• 💲 Vast majority of the Q3 forecast is unit growth, with pricing contribution almost insignificant.

(10/20) Q&A: Long-term data center growth rate and socket risk
• 🚀 Data center opportunity is growing due to R&D investment and ability to supply from geopolitically dependable capacity.
• 🎯 Objective is to outgrow the market in 2026 and into 2027 rather than commit to a 40–50% rate.
• 🔋 Power-tree and signal-chain content plus ASSP opportunities position TI to grow faster than the overall data center market depending on build-out.

(11/20) Q&A: 2026 CapEx range and ITC contribution outlook
• 🏗️ 2026 CapEx expectation remains $2 billion to $3 billion and is not biased to the low end; it could be toward the higher end given demand.
• ⚠️ ITC is choppy because it relates to equipment placed in service the prior year and should not be expected to exceed CapEx as in the recent quarter.
• 🇺🇸 Going forward more CapEx in non-U.S. assembly/test will not get ITC, while 35% ITC continues on U.S. front-end manufacturing.

(12/20) Q&A: Data center catalog share gains from inventory and capacity
• 🧩 TI likes both complex high-AUP ASSP sockets and catalog options that offer several ways to solve rack power problems.
• 📦 Inventory and capacity enable real-time line-down support that can lead customers to place more future bets on TI.
• 📈 That dynamic is part of why data center roughly doubled year-to-date, with plans to keep capacity, clean room, and inventory ahead of demand.

(13/20) Q&A: Q3 gross margin puts and takes versus volume
• 📋 OpEx, acquisition charges, and net OIE/interest should be about flat to Q2 as a modeling starting point.
• 📊 Using 70% to 85% fall-through excluding depreciation should get models in the right ZIP code for Q3.
• 📈 Haviv added gross margin should not be flat and should be a little higher.

(14/20) Q&A: Capacity runway and early 2027 CapEx thinking
• 🏗️ Clean room availability removes the prior-cycle 2–3 year headache, with RFAB2 equipping, Sherman 1 clean room, and Sherman 2 shell supporting Analog growth.
• Embedded Lehi 2 is needed as Embedded growth rises; shell arrives end of year enabling seamless growth without new site qualifications.
• 📅 Exact CapEx numbers were deferred to the February capital management call, with a 1.2x growth capital-intensity rule of thumb offered.

(15/20) Q&A: Q3 end-market growth vectors and just-in-case demand
• 🌐 Demand signal is very strong and broad across markets rather than narrow.
• ⚙️ Focus is on execution via inventory support and factory ramps after a well-executed Q2.
• 🗓️ Management deferred a fuller postmortem to the October update.

(16/20) Q&A: When to expand footprint versus raise utilization
• 🏭 TI considers itself good on clean room/facilities for the next three years across Richardson, Sherman 1–2, and Lehi 1–2.
• 🔧 Current phase is modulating equipment into existing shells rather than new footprint decisions.
• 📅 More color on 2029 and beyond was deferred to the 2027 capital management call.

(17/20) Q&A: Silicon Labs transaction timing and financing
• ✅ Regulatory approvals are moving as planned with close still expected in the first half of next year.
• 💳 Financing plans are unchanged: cash on hand and debt.
• 📋 No changes to terms/conditions beyond the planned approval and financing path were disclosed.

(18/20) Q&A: Backlog duration and lead-time quotes
• 📦 Backlog built through Q2 for both immediate shipment and further-out demand and is reflected in the guide.
• ⏱️ Lead times remain competitive but ticked up maybe a couple of weeks from below 13 weeks in Q2 as demand grew.
• 🏆 Management believes TI lead times remain the most competitive in the market.

(19/20) Q&A: Share gains from capacity and short lead times this cycle
• 🎯 TI aims to be the solution rather than the problem in this upcycle by solving immediate customer shortages.
• ⏳ Competitor lead times out to 52 weeks create design-in opportunities even on complex parts.
• 📊 Share is measured over time; some share was picked up last year, with 2026 results still to play out through the cycle peak.

(20/20) Q&A: Industrial strength drivers including content versus pricing
• 🌍 Q2 industrial strength was broad across sectors and regions, including automation content, aerospace and defense, energy infrastructure, and robotics.
• 📈 Strength was chalked up more to higher secular content growth than pricing, with 1H pricing about flat.
• 🆕 After inventory depletion, new systems designed over 4–5 years with higher generation-to-generation content are shipping, similar to automotive content growth.
