Financial segments
TI has four segments – Analog, Embedded Processing, Wireless and Other. Our segments align with how we manage the company and closely match our organizational structure. We provide revenue and operating profit for each of our segments, as we believe this will provide investors with a deeper, more meaningful insight into the opportunities and performance that drive the overall performance of our company.
We view Analog, Embedded Processing and the portion of our Wireless business that focuses on the smartphone market – applications processors and connectivity products – as our core businesses. As the growth engines of our company, these core businesses are where we are focusing our resources and our energies. As a result, an increasingly higher percentage of our revenue is coming from these businesses.
At the same time, the product lines and revenue streams that comprise our Other segment are also adding value to TI. More than half provide above-average levels of profitability. Though they tend to have, on average, low growth rates, they provide high returns given the relatively low level of investment they require.
