Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO, made the following comments:

'Revenue increased 14% from the same quarter a year ago due to growth across markets.

'Our cash flow from operations of $8.7 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash flow for the same period was $5.9 billion and 30% of revenue. This reflects the quality of our product portfolio, as well as the efficiency of our manufacturing strategy, including the benefit of 300-millimeter production.

'Over the past 12 months we invested $3.2 billion in R&D and SG&A, invested $2.8 billion in capital expenditures and returned $6.2 billion to owners.

'TI's third quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $4.90 billion to $5.30 billion and earnings per share between $2.23 and $2.51. We expect our 2022 effective tax rate to be about 14%.'

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.
