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 and Signal Chain.

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

During the third quarter, we reorganized the product lines within our Analog segment to simplify our business structure into our Power and Signal Chain product lines. These changes had no effect on either our previously reported consolidated financial statements or on our reportable segment results.

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.

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, 2019. The Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020, 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, 2019. The results for the three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Significant accounting policies and practices

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.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

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


	For Three Months Ended September 30,
	2020								2019
	Net Income		Shares	EPS		Net Income		Shares	EPS
Basic EPS:
Net income	$	1,353				$	1,425

Income allocated to common stock	$	1,347	917	$	1.47	$	1,416	935	$	1.51

Income allocated to common stock	$	1,347	929	$	1.45	$	1,417	950	$	1.49

	For Nine Months Ended September 30,

	Net Income		Shares	EPS		Net Income		Shares	EPS
Basic EPS:
Net income	$	3,907				$	3,947

Income allocated to common stock	$	3,888	921	$	4.22	$	3,922	937	$	4.19
Dilutive effect of stock compensation plans			12					16

Diluted EPS:
Net income	$	3,907				$	3,947
Income allocated to RSUs	(19)					(25)
Income allocated to common stock	$	3,888	933	$	4.17	$	3,922	953	$	4.12

Potentially dilutive securities representing 3 million and 6 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during the third quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 4 million and 7 million shares outstanding during the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during these periods because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

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.

We are exposed to variability in compensation charges related to certain deferred compensation obligations to employees. We use total return swaps to economically hedge this exposure and offset the related compensation expense, recognizing changes in the value of the swaps and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A.

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.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were not material as of September 30, 2020. 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. As of September 30, 2020, the carrying value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $6.80 billion, and the estimated fair value was $7.73 billion. The estimated fair value is 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

We adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) during the current period, none of which had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

3. Income taxes

Our estimated annual effective tax rate is about 14%, 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									For Nine Months Ended
	September 30,									September 30,
	2020			2019			2020			2019
Taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective tax rate	$	231		$	257		$	561		$	715
Discrete tax items	3			(102)			(378)			(191)
Provision for income taxes	$	234		$	155		$	183		$	524

Actual effective tax rate	15		%	10		%	4		%	12		%

Our provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2020 includes a $249 million discrete tax benefit in the second quarter for the settlement of a depreciation-related uncertain tax position. Accrued interest of $46 million related to this uncertain tax position was reversed in the second quarter and is included in OI&E.

4. Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities

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 and any credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded as an allowance for credit losses with an offset recognized 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.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Other 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.

Details of our investments are as follows:


	September 30, 2020										December 31, 2019
	Cash and Cash Equivalents		Short-Term Investments		Long-Term Investments		Cash and Cash Equivalents		Short-Term Investments		Long-Term Investments

Total	$	2,822	$	2,696	$	47	$	2,437	$	2,950	$	300

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 nine months of 2020 and 2019. All of our debt securities classified as available for sale as of September 30, 2020, have maturities within one year.

Proceeds from sales, redemptions and maturities of short-term available-for-sale investments were $510 million and $220 million for the third quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $3.71 billion and $2.00 billion for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses from these sales were not material.

During the first nine months of 2020, we entered into total return swaps to economically hedge the variability of certain deferred compensation obligations to employees. As a result, we received proceeds of $253 million from the sale of investments in mutual funds that were previously being utilized to offset this exposure.

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 described 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.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

•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 September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

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.


	September 30, 2020										December 31, 2019

5. Goodwill and acquisition-related intangibles

Goodwill was $4.36 billion as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There was no impairment of goodwill during the first nine months of 2020 or 2019.

The components of acquisition-related intangibles are as follows:


		September 30, 2020										December 31, 2019

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 September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.

Long-term debt

In the first quarter of 2020, we issued a principal amount of $750 million of fixed-rate, long-term debt due in 2025. We incurred $4 million of issuance costs. The proceeds of the offering were $749 million, net of the original issuance discount, which were used for general corporate purposes and the repayment of maturing debt.

In the second quarter of 2020, we retired $500 million of maturing debt. We also issued a principal amount of $750 million of fixed-rate, long-term debt due in 2030. We incurred $5 million of issuance costs. The proceeds of the offering were $749 million, net of the original issuance discount, which were used for general corporate purposes.

9. 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.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

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.

10. Supplemental financial information

Restructuring charges/other

During the first nine months of 2020, we recognized $24 million of restructuring charges for severance and benefit costs associated with our Embedded Processing business. As of September 30, 2020, $1 million of payments have been made.

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. For many years, we have run our business with three overarching ambitions in mind. First, we will act like owners who will own the company for decades. Second, we will adapt and succeed in a world that is ever changing. And third, we will be a company that we are personally proud to be a part of and that we would want as our neighbor. When we are successful in achieving these ambitions, our employees, customers, communities and shareholders all win.

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 moving forward with our plan to build our new 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility in Richardson, Texas, as 300-millimeter wafers will continue to support the majority of our Analog growth.

•Broad portfolio of differentiated analog and embedded processing products. 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.

•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 and global sales and applications team are advantages that give us unique access and insight 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. We believe these markets represent the best growth opportunities over the next decade or longer, due to increasing semiconductor content. Additionally, 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 our ambitions, business model and sustainable competitive advantages is that we have continued to build a stronger company. Over time, we have gained market share in Analog and Embedded Processing and grown and returned all free cash flow to our owners.

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. During the third quarter, we reorganized the product lines within our Analog segment to simplify our business structure into our Power and Signal Chain product lines. These changes had no impact on our previously reported consolidated financial statements or on our reportable segment 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 do not tend 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.

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

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

Impact of COVID-19

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its follow-on effects are impacting and will likely continue to impact business activity across industries worldwide, including TI. Therefore, we remain cautious about how the economy might behave for the next few years.

The impact to our lead times and ability to fulfill orders was minimal in the first nine months of 2020. However, depending on pandemic-related factors like the potential of local manufacturing restrictions on our factories, we could experience constraints in fulfilling customer orders in future periods. The coronavirus pandemic remains dynamic with uncertainty around its duration and broader impact. We are monitoring and assessing the situation and preparing for implications to our business, supply chain and customer demand.

We have long had a business continuity plan in place for unforeseeable situations, like we are experiencing with COVID-19. Additionally, over the past several years, we have invested in building inventory and expanding our global internally owned manufacturing footprint. Investing in these capabilities has given us flexibility, such as the ability to build products across multiple manufacturing sites. These investments have helped to minimize disruptions, but may not be sufficient to eliminate them.

Performance summary

Our third quarter revenue was $3.82 billion, net income was $1.35 billion and earnings per share (EPS) were $1.45.

Revenue increased 18% sequentially with notable strength from the rebound of automotive demand and growing demand from personal electronics. Revenue increased 1% from the same quarter a year ago.

In our core businesses, Analog revenue grew 18% and Embedded Processing grew 19% sequentially. From a year ago, Analog revenue grew 7% and Embedded Processing declined 10%.

Our cash flow from operations of $5.8 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash flow for the same period was $5.2 billion and 38% 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 $6.4 billion to shareholders in the past 12 months through stock repurchases and dividends. Over the same period, our dividends represented 64% of free cash flow, underscoring their sustainability. In September, we announced we would increase our dividend by 13%. Together, our stock repurchases and dividends reflect our continued commitment to return all free cash flow to our shareholders.

Results of operations – third quarter 2020 compared with third quarter 2019

Revenue of $3.82 billion increased $46 million, or 1%, primarily due to higher revenue from Analog, partially offset by lower revenue from Embedded Processing.

Gross profit of $2.45 billion was about even. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 64.3% from 64.9%.

Operating expenses (R&D and SG&A) were $793 million compared with $778 million.

Acquisition charges were $51 million compared with $79 million and were non-cash. See Note 5 to the financial statements.

Operating profit was $1.61 billion, or 42.2% of revenue, compared with $1.59 billion, or 42.1% of revenue.

OI&E was $27 million of income compared with $34 million of income, which decreased primarily due to reduced interest income.

Interest and debt expense of $49 million increased $6 million due to the issuance of additional long-term debt.

Our provision for income taxes was $234 million compared with $155 million. This increase was due to lower discrete tax items, partially offset by a lower annual operating tax rate. Our annual operating tax rate, which does not include discrete tax items, is about 14% compared with 16% in 2019. We use “annual operating tax rate” to describe the estimated annual effective tax rate. The 2020 rate differs from the 21% U.S. statutory corporate tax rate due to the effect of U.S. tax benefits.

Net income was $1.35 billion compared with $1.43 billion. EPS was $1.45 compared with $1.49.

Results of operations – first nine months of 2020 compared with first nine months of 2019

Revenue of $10.39 billion decreased $648 million, or 6%, primarily due to lower revenue from Embedded Processing.

Gross profit of $6.62 billion was down $444 million, or 6%, due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 63.8% from 64.1%.

Operating expenses were $2.37 billion compared with $2.39 billion.

Restructuring charges/other was a charge of $24 million due to an Embedded Processing action, compared with a credit of $36 million due to the sale of our manufacturing facility in Greenock, Scotland in 2019.

Acquisition charges were $151 million compared with $238 million and were non-cash. See Note 5 to the financial statements.

Operating profit was $4.08 billion, or 39.3% of revenue, compared with $4.47 billion, or 40.6% of revenue.

OI&E was $151 million of income compared with $122 million of income, which increased primarily due to the reversal of interest accrued on an uncertain tax position, partially offset by lower interest income.

Interest and debt expense of $142 million increased $17 million due to the issuance of additional long-term debt.

Our provision for income taxes was $183 million compared with $524 million. This decrease was due to higher discrete tax benefits, which included a $249 million benefit from the settlement of a depreciation-related uncertain tax position, and, to a lesser extent, a lower annual operating tax rate and lower income before income taxes.

Net income was $3.91 billion compared with $3.95 billion. EPS was $4.17 compared with $4.12.

Year-to-date segment results

Financial condition

At the end of the third quarter of 2020, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $5.52 billion, an increase of $131 million from the end of 2019.

Accounts receivable were $1.39 billion, an increase of $318 million compared with the end of 2019. Days sales outstanding at the end of the third quarter of 2020 were 33 compared with 29 at the end of 2019.

Inventory was $2.07 billion, an increase of $71 million from the end of 2019. Days of inventory at the end of the third quarter of 2020 were 137 compared with 144 at the end of 2019. The increase in inventory reflects our desire to maintain high optionality with our operating plan so we can keep our lead times stable and product availability high, particularly during this time when our customers' ability to forecast their demand is limited. It is also higher as we reduce the number of distributors this year and have a closer, direct relationship with our customers.

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 nine months of 2020 were $4.01 billion, a decrease of $881 million from the year-ago period primarily due to an increase in cash used for working capital.

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 September 30, 2020, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.

Investing activities for the first nine months of 2020 provided $74 million compared with $1 million in the year-ago period. Capital expenditures were $437 million compared with $684 million in the year-ago period and were primarily for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and facilities in both periods. Short-term investments provided cash of $523 million compared with $630 million in the year-ago period.

Financing activities for the first nine months of 2020 used $3.70 billion compared with $3.44 billion in the year-ago period. In 2020, we received net proceeds of $1.50 billion from the issuance of fixed-rate, long-term debt, and we retired maturing debt of $500 million. In the year-ago period, we received net proceeds of $1.49 billion from the issuance of fixed-rate, long-term debt, and we retired maturing debt of $750 million. Dividends paid were $2.49 billion compared with $2.17 billion in the year-ago period, reflecting an increase in the dividend rate, partially offset by fewer shares outstanding. We used $2.54 billion to repurchase 23.3 million shares of our common stock compared with $2.47 billion used in the year-ago period to repurchase 23.4 million shares. Employee exercises of stock options provided cash proceeds of $356 million compared with $491 million in the year-ago period.

We had $2.82 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $2.70 billion of short-term investments as of September 30, 2020. 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
	September 30,
	2020			2019			Change
Cash flow from operations (GAAP)	$	5,768		$	7,040		(18)	%
Capital expenditures	(600)			(1,007)
Free cash flow (non-GAAP)	$	5,168		$	6,033		(14)	%

Revenue	$	13,735		$	14,750

Cash flow from operations as a percentage of revenue (GAAP)	42.0		%	47.7		%
Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue (non-GAAP)	37.6		%	40.9		%

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 contractual obligations is in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2020, we issued $750 million principal amount of 1.375% notes maturing in 2025 and $750 million principal amount of 1.75% notes maturing in 2030. We retired $500 million of maturing debt in April 2020.

Changes in accounting standards

See Note 2 to the financial statements for 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.
