Notes to financial statements

1. Description of business, including segment and geographic area information

We design, make and sell semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. We have two reportable segments, which are established along major categories of products as follows:

•

Analog – consisting of the following product lines: Power, Signal Chain and High Volume.

•

Embedded Processing – consisting of the following product lines: Connected Microcontrollers and Processors.

We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other. Other includes operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for individually reportable segments and cannot be aggregated with other operating segments. Other includes DLP^® products, calculators and custom ASIC products.

Our centralized manufacturing and support organizations, such as facilities, procurement and logistics, provide support to our operating segments, including those in Other. Costs incurred by these organizations, including depreciation, are charged to the segments on a per-unit basis. Consequently, depreciation expense is not an independently identifiable component within the segments’ results and, therefore, is not provided.

Geographic area information

The following geographic area information includes revenue based on product shipment destination. The revenue information is not necessarily indicative of the geographic area in which the end applications containing our products are ultimately consumed because our products tend to be shipped to the locations where our customers manufacture their products. Specifically, many of our products are shipped to our customers in China who may include these parts in the manufacture of their own end products, which they may in turn export to their customers around the world.

2. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies and practices

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the effects of adopting Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results for the three-month periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Significant accounting policies and practices

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases are included in other long-term assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Lease assets represent our right to use underlying assets for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligations to make lease payments over the lease term. On the commencement date, leases are evaluated for classification, and assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease values include options to extend or not to terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

We have agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Earnings per share (EPS)

We use the two-class method for calculating EPS because the restricted stock units (RSUs) we grant are participating securities containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividend equivalents. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to RSUs and excluded from the calculation of income allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Computation and reconciliation of earnings per common share are as follows (shares in millions):

	For Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019							2018
	Net							Net
	Income			Shares		EPS		Income			Shares		EPS
Basic EPS:
Net income	$	1,217						$	1,366
Income allocated to RSUs		(8	)						(11	)
Income allocated to common stock	$	1,209			939	$	1.29	$	1,355			983	$	1.38
Dilutive effect of stock compensation plans					17							22

Diluted EPS:
Net income	$	1,217						$	1,366
Income allocated to RSUs		(8	)						(11	)
Income allocated to common stock	$	1,209			956	$	1.26	$	1,355			1,005	$	1.35

Potentially dilutive securities representing 9 million and 5 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during these periods because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Derivatives and hedging

We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. These instruments are primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are used as economic hedges to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these forward foreign currency exchange contracts are credited or charged to OI&E. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign currency derivative instruments.

In connection with the issuance of long-term debt, we may use financial derivatives such as treasury-rate lock agreements that are recognized in AOCI and amortized over the life of the related debt. The results of these derivative transactions have not been material.

We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were not material as of March 31, 2019. Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments, as well as our deferred compensation liabilities, are carried at fair value. The carrying values for other current financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates the fair value as measured using broker-dealer quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. See Note 4 for a description of fair value and the definition of Level 2 inputs.

Changes in accounting standards – adopted standards for current period

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to leases existing at, or entered into after, the adoption date. The reported results for 2019 reflect the application of the new accounting guidance, while the reported results for prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC 840, Leases. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allowed us to apply prior conclusions related to lease definition, classification and initial direct costs.

The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of $229 million of lease liabilities with corresponding lease assets as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.

Other standards

The following standards were also adopted:

ASU	Description	Adopted Date
ASU No. 2017-12	Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities	January 1, 2019
ASU No. 2018-14	Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans	January 1, 2019

Changes in accounting standards – standards not yet adopted

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

This standard requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the current incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of having been incurred. There are other provisions within the standard that affect how impairments of other financial assets may be recorded and presented, and that expand disclosures. This standard will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019, and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Other standards

We are evaluating the impact of the following standards, but we do not expect them to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. We plan to adopt these standards as of their effective dates.

ASU	Description	Effective Date
ASU No. 2018-13	Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement	January 1, 2020
ASU No. 2018-15	Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	January 1, 2020

3. Income taxes

Our estimated annual effective tax rate is about 16%, which does not include discrete tax items. This differs from the 21% statutory corporate tax rate due to the effect of U.S. tax benefits.

Provision for income taxes is based on the following:

	For Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2019			2018
Taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective tax rate	$	220		$	316
Discrete tax items		(60	)		(129	)
Provision for income taxes	$	160		$	187

Actual effective tax rate		12	%		12	%

4. Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities

Debt and equity investments measured at fair value

Available-for-sale debt investments and trading securities are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices or broker quotes. See Fair-value considerations below. Unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale debt securities are recorded as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in OI&E in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

We classify certain mutual funds as trading securities. These mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments intended to generate returns that offset changes in certain deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of these mutual funds and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A.

Other equity investments

Our other investments include equity-method investments and non-marketable equity investments, which are not measured at fair value. These investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other non-marketable equity securities. Gains and losses from equity-method investments are recognized in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results.

Non-marketable equity securities are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments. Gains and losses on non-marketable equity investments are recognized in OI&E.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Details of our investments are as follows:

Total	$	3,720	$	366	$	281	$	2,438	$	1,795	$	251

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, unrealized gains and losses associated with our available-for-sale investments were not material. We did not recognize any credit losses related to available-for-sale investments for the first three months of 2019 and 2018.

Proceeds from sales, redemptions and maturities of short-term available-for-sale investments were $1.58 billion and $1.46 billion for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses from these sales were not material.

The following table presents the aggregate maturities of our available-for-sale debt investments as of March 31, 2019:

	Fair Value
One year or less	$	3,644
One to two years		157

There were no other-than-temporary declines and impairments in the values of our debt investments in the first three months of 2019 or 2018.

Fair-value considerations

We measure and report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The three-level hierarchy discussed below indicates the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair-value measurements.

•

Level 1 – Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

•

Level 2 – Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data. We utilize a third-party data service to provide Level 2 valuations. We verify these valuations for reasonableness relative to unadjusted quotes obtained from brokers or dealers based on observable prices for similar assets in active markets.

•

Level 3 – Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models that utilize management estimates of market participant assumptions. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

The following are our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. These tables do not include cash on hand, assets held by our postretirement plans, or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value.

5. Goodwill and acquisition-related intangibles

Goodwill was $4.36 billion as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. There was no impairment of goodwill during the first three months of 2019 or 2018.

The components of acquisition-related intangibles are as follows:

	Amortization	March 31, 2019						December 31, 2018
	Period	Gross Carrying		Accumulated				Gross Carrying		Accumulated
	(Years)	Amount		Amortization		Net		Amount		Amortization		Net
Developed technology	7 - 10	$	2,125	$	1,627	$	498	$	2,125	$	1,573	$	552

Total		$	2,935	$	2,386	$	549	$	2,935	$	2,307	$	628

Acquisition charges

Acquisition charges represent the ongoing amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of National Semiconductor Corporation. These amounts are included in Other for segment reporting purposes, consistent with how management measures the performance of its segments.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles was $79 million and $80 million for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Fully amortized assets are written off against accumulated amortization.

6. Postretirement benefit plans

Expense related to defined benefit and retiree health care benefit plans is as follows:

	U.S.						U.S.						Non-U.S.
	Defined Benefit						Retiree Health Care						Defined Benefit
For Three Months Ended March 31,	2019			2018			2019			2018			2019			2018

7. Debt and lines of credit

Short-term borrowings

We maintain a line of credit to support commercial paper borrowings, if any, and to provide additional liquidity through bank loans. As of March 31, 2019, we had a variable-rate revolving credit facility from a consortium of investment-grade banks that allows us to borrow up to $2 billion until March 2024. The interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility, if drawn, is indexed to the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As of March 31, 2019, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.

Long-term debt

In the first quarter of 2019, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $750 million of fixed-rate, long-term debt due in 2039. We incurred $7 million of issuance and other related costs. We received $743 million in proceeds, net of the original issuance discount, to be used for general corporate purposes.

Long-term debt outstanding is as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2019			2018
Notes due 2019 at 1.65%	$	750		$	750
Notes due 2020 at 1.75%		500			500
Notes due 2021 at 2.75%		550			550
Notes due 2022 at 1.85%		500			500
Notes due 2023 at 2.25%		500			500
Notes due 2024 at 2.625%		300			300
Notes due 2027 at 2.90%		500			500
Notes due 2039 at 3.875%		750			—

Current portion of long-term debt		(750	)		(749	)
Long-term debt	$	5,057		$	4,319

Interest and debt expense was $38 million and $23 million for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. This was net of the amortized discounts, premiums and issuance costs. Capitalized interest was not material.

10. Contingencies

Indemnification guarantees

We routinely sell products with an intellectual property indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, we have had only minimal, infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate any future liabilities that may result.

Warranty costs/product liabilities

We accrue for known product-related claims if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the periods presented, there have been no material accruals or payments regarding product warranty or product liability. Historically, we have experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims, we do not believe they will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Our stated warranties for semiconductor products obligate us to repair, replace or credit the purchase price of a covered product back to the buyer. Product claim consideration may exceed the price of our products.

General

We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

11. Supplemental financial information

Restructuring charges/other

Restructuring charges/other are included in Other for segment reporting purposes. Changes in accrued restructuring balances are as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2018	$	28
Payments		(12	)
Balance, March 31, 2019	$	16

The restructuring accrual balances are reported as a component of either accrued expenses and other liabilities or other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on the expected timing of payment.

In February 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell our manufacturing facility in Greenock, Scotland. The sale closed in April 2019.

ITEM 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

Overview

We design, make and sell semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. Our business model is designed around the following four sustainable competitive advantages that we believe, in combination, put us in a unique class of companies:

•

A strong foundation of manufacturing and technology. We invest in manufacturing technologies and do most of our manufacturing in-house. This strategic decision to directly control our manufacturing helps ensure a consistent supply of products for our customers and also allows us to invest in technology that differentiates the features of our products. We have focused on creating a competitive manufacturing cost advantage by investing in our advanced analog 300-millimeter capacity, which has about a 40% cost advantage per unpackaged chip over 200-millimeter. To strengthen this advantage, we are planning our next phase of 300-millimeter capacity expansion as 300-millimeter wafers will continue to support the majority of our Analog growth.

•

Broad portfolio of differentiated analog and embedded processing semiconductors. Our customers need multiple chips for their systems. The breadth of our portfolio means we can meet more of these needs than our competitors can, which gives us access to more customers and the opportunity to sell more products and generate more revenue per customer system. We invest more than $1 billion each year to develop new products for our portfolio, which includes tens of thousands of products.

•

Broadest reach of market channels. Customers often begin their initial product selection process and design-in journey on our website, and the breadth of our portfolio attracts more customers to our website than any of our competitors’ websites. Our web presence, combined with our global sales force that is also greater in size than those of our competitors, are advantages that give us unique access to about 100,000 customers designing TI semiconductors into their end products.

•

Diversity and longevity of our products, markets and customer positions. Together, the attributes above result in diverse and long-lived positions that deliver high terminal value to our shareholders. Because of the breadth of our portfolio, we are not dependent on any single product, customer, technology or market. Some of our products generate revenue for decades, which strengthens the return on our investments.

Our strategic focus, and where we invest the majority of our resources, is on Analog and Embedded Processing, with a particular emphasis on designing and selling those products into the industrial and automotive markets, which we believe represent the best growth opportunities. Analog and embedded processing products sold into industrial and automotive markets provide long product life cycles, intrinsic diversity and less capital-intensive manufacturing, which we believe offer stability, profitability and strong cash generation. This business model is the foundation of our capital management strategy, which is based on our belief that free cash flow growth, especially on a per-share basis, is important for maximizing shareholder value over the long term. We also believe that free cash flow will be valued only if it is productively invested in the business or returned to shareholders.

The combined effect of these sustainable competitive advantages is that over time we have gained market share in Analog and Embedded Processing and have grown free cash flow. Our business model puts us in a unique class of companies with the ability to grow, generate cash and return that cash to shareholders.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document. In the following discussion of our results of operations:

•

Our segments represent groups of similar products that are combined on the basis of similar design and development requirements, product characteristics, manufacturing processes and distribution channels, and how management allocates resources and measures results. See Note 1 to the financial statements for more information regarding our segments.

•

When we discuss our results:

Unless otherwise noted, changes in our revenue are attributable to changes in customer demand, which are evidenced by fluctuations in shipment volumes.

New products tend not to have a significant impact on our revenue in any given period because we sell such a large number of products.

From time to time, our revenue and gross profit are affected by changes in demand for higher-priced or lower-priced products, which we refer to as changes in the “mix” of products shipped.

Because we own much of our manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our operating cost is fixed. When factory loadings decrease, our fixed costs are spread over reduced output and, absent other circumstances, our profit margins decrease. Conversely, as factory loadings increase, our fixed costs are spread over increased output and, absent other circumstances, our profit margins increase. Increases and decreases in factory loadings tend to correspond to increases and decreases in demand.

•

All dollar amounts in the tables are stated in millions of U.S. dollars.

Performance summary

Our first-quarter revenue was $3.59 billion, net income was $1.22 billion and earnings per share (EPS) were $1.26.

Revenue decreased 5% from the same quarter a year ago as demand for our products continued to slow across most markets, offset by current strength in communications equipment.

In our core businesses, Analog revenue declined 2% and Embedded Processing declined 14% from the same quarter a year ago.

Our cash flow from operations of $7.2 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash flow for the trailing 12 months was $6.0 billion and represents 38.4% 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 Analog production.

We have returned $8.0 billion to owners in the past 12 months through stock repurchases and dividends. Our strategy is to return all our free cash flow to shareholders. Over the last 12 months, our dividends represented 45% of free cash flow, underscoring their sustainability.

We continue to expect our annual operating tax rate to be about 16% in 2019.

For an explanation of free cash flow and the term “annual operating tax rate,” see the Non-GAAP financial information section.

Results of operations – first-quarter 2019 compared with first-quarter 2018

Revenue of $3.59 billion decreased $195 million, or 5%, due to lower revenue from Embedded Processing and Analog.

Gross profit of $2.26 billion was down $186 million, or 8%, due to lower revenue and reduced factory loadings. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 62.9% from 64.6%.

Operating expenses (R&D and SG&A) were $803 million compared with $818 million.

Acquisition charges of $79 million were non-cash. See Note 5 to the financial statements.

Operating profit was $1.38 billion, or 38.4% of revenue, compared with $1.55 billion, or 40.9% of revenue.

OI&E was $36 million of income compared with $28 million of income.

Interest and debt expense of $38 million increased $15 million due to the issuance of additional long-term debt.

Our provision for income taxes was $160 million compared with $187 million. The decrease was due to lower income before income taxes. Items related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were largely offset by a decrease in discrete tax benefits.

Our annual operating tax rate, which does not include discrete tax items, is about 16% compared with 20% in 2018. We use “annual operating tax rate” to describe the estimated annual effective tax rate. The 2019 rate differs from the 21% U.S. statutory corporate tax rate due to the effect of U.S. tax benefits.

Net income was $1.22 billion compared with $1.37 billion. EPS was $1.26 compared with $1.35.

First-quarter 2019 segment results

Our segment results compared with the year-ago quarter are as follows:

Analog (includes Power, Signal Chain and High Volume product lines)

	1Q19			1Q18			Change
Revenue	$	2,518		$	2,566			(2	)%
Operating profit		1,088			1,166			(7	)%
Operating profit % of revenue		43.2	%		45.4	%

Analog revenue decreased due to High Volume and, to a lesser extent, Power. Signal Chain revenue increased due to the mix of products shipped. Operating profit decreased due to lower revenue and reduced factory loadings.

Embedded Processing (includes Connected Microcontrollers and Processors product lines)

	1Q19			1Q18			Change
Revenue	$	796		$	926			(14	)%
Operating profit		249			328			(24	)%
Operating profit % of revenue		31.3	%		35.4	%

Embedded Processing revenue decreased in both product lines, led by Processors. Operating profit decreased due to lower revenue and associated gross profit.

Other (includes DLP^®products, calculators and custom ASIC products)

	1Q19			1Q18			Change
Revenue	$	280		$	297			(6	)%
Operating profit*		42			54			(22	)%
Operating profit % of revenue		15.0	%		18.2	%

* Includes acquisition charges and restructuring charges/other

Other revenue decreasedby $17 million, and operating profit decreased by $12 million.

Financial condition

At the end of the first quarter of 2019, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $4.09 billion, a decrease of $147 million from the end of 2018.

Accounts receivable were $1.44 billion, an increase of $233 million compared with the end of 2018. Days sales outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2019 were 36 compared with 29 at the end of 2018.

Inventory was $2.13 billion, a decrease of $86 million from the end of 2018. Days of inventory at the end of the first quarter of 2019 were 144 compared with 152 at the end of 2018.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and a variable-rate, revolving credit facility. Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of 2019 and 2018 were $1.11 billion.

Our revolving credit facility is with a consortium of investment-grade banks and allows us to borrow up to $2 billion until March 2024. This credit facility also serves as support for the issuance of commercial paper. As of March 31, 2019, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.

Investing activities for the first three months of 2019 provided $1.17 billion compared with $266 million in the year-ago period. Capital expenditures were $251 million compared with $189 million in the year-ago period and were primarily for semiconductor manufacturing equipment in both periods. We had sales of short-term investments, net of purchases, that provided cash proceeds of $1.44 billion compared with $459 million in the year-ago period.

Financing activities for the first three months of 2019 used $998 million compared with $1.32 billion in the year-ago period. In 2019, we received net proceeds of $743 million from the issuance of fixed-rate, long-term debt. Dividends paid were $724 million compared with $611 million in the year-ago period, reflecting an increase in the dividend rate, partially offset by fewer shares outstanding. We used $1.15 billion to repurchase 11.7 million shares of our common stock compared with $873 million used in the year-ago period to repurchase 8.2 million shares. Employee exercises of stock options provided cash proceeds of $151 million compared with $178 million in the year-ago period.

We had $3.72 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $366 million of short-term investments as of March 31, 2019. We believe we have the necessary financial resources and operating plans to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend and debt-related payments, and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Non-GAAP financial information

This MD&A includes references to free cash flow and ratios based on that measure. These are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Free cash flow was calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating activities (also referred to as cash flow from operations).

We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the table below.

	For 12 Months Ended
	March 31,
	2019			2018			Change
Cash flow from operations (GAAP)	$	7,184		$	5,680			26	%
Capital expenditures		(1,193	)		(757	)
Free cash flow (non-GAAP)	$	5,991		$	4,923			22	%

Revenue	$	15,589		$	15,348

Cash flow from operations as a percent of revenue (GAAP)		46.1	%		37.0	%
Free cash flow as a percent of revenue (non-GAAP)		38.4	%		32.1	%

This MD&A also includes references to an annual operating tax rate, a non-GAAP term we use to describe the estimated annual effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items. We believe the term annual operating tax rate helps differentiate from the effective tax rate, which includes discrete tax items.

Long-term contractual obligations

Information regarding long-term debt obligations is described in the long-term contractual obligations table in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Additionally, in the first three months of 2019, we issued $750 million principal amount of 3.875% notes maturing in 2039.

Changes in accounting standards

See Note 2 to the financial statements for detailed information regarding the status of new accounting and reporting standards.

ITEM 4. Controls and procedures

An evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures were effective. In addition, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
