- 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;
- 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;
- Timely completion and successful integration of announced acquisitions;
- Economic, social and political conditions in the countries in which TI, its
customers or its suppliers operate, including security risks, possible
disruptions in the transportation networks and fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates;

customer inventory adjustments;
- Availability of raw materials and critical manufacturing equipment;
- TI's ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel;
- Fluctuations in the market value of TI's investments and in interest rates;
and

TI REVISES 2Q03 OUTLOOK
- TI'S SEQUENTIAL REVENUE GROWTH IS NOW EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 5%
- CHANGE IS DUE TO WIRELESS SEMICONDUCTOR SALES THAT ARE LOWER THAN EXPECTED
BECAUSE OF WEAKER DEMAND IN ASIAN MARKETS
Conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time
Conference call number (973) 582-2741 (no passcode required)

Dallas (June 10, 2003) - Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN) today
said that its sequential revenue growth in the second quarter will be at the
lower end of its previous expectations due to reduced sales of semiconductors
to wireless customers. Wireless customers are experiencing a slowdown in
demand for handsets and excess inventory, particularly in Asia. Demand for TI's
semiconductor products in other markets continues to be robust.
As a result, TI now expects total sequential revenue growth of about 5
percent, instead of its original forecast of about 7 percent. Inside the total,
TI's semiconductor segment now expects sequential growth of about 2 percent
instead of about 4 percent. The company's other business segments, Sensors &
Controls and Educational & Productivity Solutions, remain on track to meet
original expectations.
TI expects wireless semiconductor revenue to decline about 10 percent
sequentially in the second quarter and other semiconductor revenue to increase
by more than 5 percent. Compared with the second quarter of 2002, wireless
revenue should increase by more than 10 percent and other semiconductor revenue
should increase by more than 5 percent.
Earnings per share are now expected to be about $0.06, plus or minus a few
cents, instead of about $0.08, plus or minus a few cents. The expected reduction
in earnings is due about equally to lower revenue and higher charges associated
with restructuring in certain of the company's manufacturing facilities. The
company recently expanded its previously-announced restructuring actions to
include the reduction of about 250 jobs in Semiconductor manufacturing
operations in Japan. Total restructuring charges for the quarter are now
expected to be about $55 million instead of $40 million, primarily due to
higher than expected severance costs in the current quarter and the addition of
the action in Japan.
"As we noted in our April conference call, some inventory of wireless
semiconductors was built in Asian markets, particularly China, toward the end of
the first quarter. That inventory, which would have been successfully worked
through under normal conditions, instead stalled as demand has weakened in those
markets. We believe the weakness in demand is largely due to the ongoing
economic impact associated with SARS, and should abate as the health concerns
are resolved," said Tom Engibous, TI Chairman, President and CEO.
