Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:TXN)

Debt to Equity Ratios

There was a decline in the debt to equity ratio from 0.74 in 2020 to 0.58 in 2021, indicating a reduction in leverage relative to equity. The ratio then slightly increased to 0.6 in 2022, followed by a steady rise to 0.8 by 2024. When including operating lease liabilities, a similar pattern is observed, with the ratio declining from 0.77 to 0.62 between 2020 and 2021, then increasing to 0.85 by 2024.

Debt to Capital Ratios

The debt to capital ratio decreased from 0.43 in 2020 to 0.37 in 2021 and remained stable at 0.37 in 2022. It then gradually rose to 0.45 by 2024. Including operating lease liabilities, the ratio followed the same trajectory but with slightly higher values, moving from 0.44 in 2020 to 0.46 in 2024.

Debt to Assets Ratios

Debt to assets declined from 0.35 in 2020 to 0.31 in 2021, then experienced a slow increase to 0.38 by 2024. The ratio including operating lease liabilities showed a consistent increase from 0.37 in 2020 to 0.4 in 2024.

Financial Leverage

The financial leverage ratio decreased from 2.11 in 2020 to 1.85 in 2021 and then remained relatively stable through 2023 before rising again to 2.1 in 2024. This indicates some variability in the company's use of debt relative to equity over the analyzed period.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage significantly improved from 32.67 in 2020 to a peak of 49.47 in 2021, showing enhanced ability to meet interest obligations. It then slightly declined to 47.88 in 2022, but experienced a sharp drop thereafter, falling to 11.73 by 2024. This downward trend may indicate increasing challenges in covering interest expenses in the latter years.

Fixed Charge Coverage

Fixed charge coverage improved from 24.14 in 2020 to a high of 36.7 in 2022, suggesting strong capacity to cover fixed financial obligations. However, there was a marked decrease afterward, dropping to 10.2 by 2024, mirroring the trend seen in interest coverage and pointing towards potential strain in meeting fixed charges.

The financial data over the five-year period reveals notable trends in the company's capital structure and leverage.

Total Debt

The total debt consistently increased year-over-year, starting from $6,798 million in 2020 and rising significantly to $13,596 million by 2024. This represents roughly a doubling of the debt amount, with a pronounced acceleration in the later years, particularly from 2022 onward.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity also displayed a general upward trend, expanding from $9,187 million in 2020 to $16,903 million in 2024. The increase was steadier compared to debt, with the most notable growth occurring between 2020 and 2021, and then a more modest rise in subsequent years.

Debt to Equity Ratio

The debt to equity ratio initially decreased from 0.74 in 2020 to 0.58 in 2021, indicating a reduction in leverage relative to equity during that period. This ratio then slightly increased to 0.6 in 2022 and continued rising to 0.66 in 2023. By 2024, the ratio reached 0.8, the highest point in the period examined. This trend reflects a growing reliance on debt financing relative to equity, despite the steady expansion of equity.

Overall, the data shows an increasing use of debt funding at a pace that accelerates in the later years, which leads to a rising debt to equity ratio after a brief improvement. The company’s equity base is growing but at a slower incremental rate than debt, suggesting a strategic shift towards higher leverage or possibly increased capital expenditures or acquisitions financed through debt. Monitoring this leverage trend is advisable to assess the impact on financial risk and coverage ratios going forward.

Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)

The total debt amount has demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory from 2020 through 2024. Starting at 7,119 million USD in 2020, the debt increased steadily each year, reaching 14,377 million USD by 2024. The most significant jumps occurred in the later years, with a particularly notable increase between 2022 and 2023, where debt rose by approximately 2,635 million USD. This trend suggests an increased reliance on borrowed funds or obligations secured through lease liabilities over the period under review.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity has also grown progressively from 9,187 million USD in 2020 to 16,903 million USD in 2024. The year-over-year increments show substantial growth, with the highest increase observed between 2020 and 2021, reflecting robust equity strengthening efforts. However, growth appears to have plateaued between 2023 and 2024, where the equity increased marginally by only 6 million USD. The overall increase in equity suggests an accumulation of retained earnings or capital inflows over the years.

Debt to Equity Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)

The debt to equity ratio has exhibited a fluctuating trend despite the growing absolute values of both debt and equity. Initially, the ratio decreased from 0.77 in 2020 to 0.62 in 2021, indicating a relatively stronger equity base compared to debt. This ratio remained nearly stable in 2022 at 0.63 but then experienced a rising trend to 0.7 in 2023 and further to 0.85 in 2024. The increase in the debt to equity ratio in the last two years suggests that debt levels have begun to outpace equity growth, signaling a shift towards higher leverage and increased financial risk.

The financial data reveals notable trends in the company's capital structure and debt management over the five-year period ending December 31, 2024.

Total Debt

The total debt consistently increased each year, rising from $6,798 million in 2020 to $13,596 million in 2024. This indicates an ongoing reliance on external financing, with the amount of debt nearly doubling during this period. The growth in total debt was particularly sharp between 2022 and 2024, signaling either increased borrowing for investment or other financing needs.

Total Capital

Total capital also showed a steady upward trend, expanding from $15,985 million in 2020 to $30,499 million in 2024. The growth in total capital reflects the company’s ability to increase its overall financial resources. However, the rate of increase in total capital was generally slower compared to the acceleration in total debt, particularly in the last two years.

Debt to Capital Ratio

The debt to capital ratio decreased from 0.43 in 2020 to 0.37 in 2021 and remained at 0.37 in 2022, indicating a reduction in leverage relative to total capital initially. However, starting in 2023, the ratio rose to 0.40 and further increased to 0.45 in 2024. This suggests that despite growth in total capital, the company’s leverage intensified, pointing to a higher proportion of debt in its capital structure in the most recent years.

Overall, the data depicts a scenario where both debt and total capital have grown substantially, but the acceleration in debt growth has outpaced the increase in total capital in the latter years. This results in an increased leverage position, which may impact the company's financial risk profile moving forward.

Total debt (including operating lease liability)

The total debt exhibited a consistent upward trajectory over the five-year period. Beginning at $7,119 million at the end of 2020, it increased steadily each year to reach $14,377 million by the end of 2024. This represents a doubling of debt within the analyzed timeframe, with notable acceleration from 2022 to 2024.

Total capital (including operating lease liability)

Total capital also demonstrated consistent growth throughout the period. Starting at $16,306 million in 2020, it rose annually to $31,280 million by 2024. The growth rate accelerated primarily from 2021 onward, indicating expanding total financing capacity or asset base.

Debt to capital ratio (including operating lease liability)

The debt to capital ratio experienced some fluctuations rather than a steady trend. It decreased from 0.44 in 2020 to a low of 0.38 in 2021, signaling a reduction in leverage relative to total capital during that year. Subsequently, the ratio rose gradually to 0.46 by 2024, reflecting an increasing proportion of debt in the capital structure over the last three years.

The financial data reveals a progressive increase in total debt over the five-year period, starting at 6,798 million US dollars in 2020 and rising to 13,596 million US dollars by 2024. This represents a near doubling of the debt level within this timeframe, indicating a growing reliance on debt financing.

Simultaneously, total assets exhibit a consistent upward trend, increasing from 19,351 million US dollars at the end of 2020 to 35,509 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This shows substantial asset growth, with the asset base almost doubling over five years, reflecting potential expansion or investment in asset resources.

Despite the growth in both debt and assets, the debt-to-assets ratio presents a fluctuating but generally stable pattern. Beginning at 0.35 in 2020, the ratio slightly declines to 0.31 in 2021, then modestly increases to 0.32 in 2022, moving back to 0.35 in 2023, and finally rising to 0.38 in 2024. This indicates that although total debt and assets are growing, debt is increasing at a somewhat faster pace relative to assets in the most recent year, suggesting a gradual intensification of leverage.

Overall, the data reflects an environment of growth in both assets and debt, with a cautious increase in leverage that might warrant monitoring to assess the sustainability of debt levels relative to asset growth trajectories.

Total Debt (including operating lease liability)

The total debt level shows a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Starting at $7.1 billion in 2020, it increased annually, reaching $14.4 billion by the end of 2024. The most significant increases occurred between 2022 and 2023, and again between 2023 and 2024, reflecting a nearly doubling of debt within this timeframe.

Total Assets

Total assets also demonstrated steady growth throughout the period. Assets increased from $19.4 billion in 2020 to $35.5 billion in 2024. The asset base expanded every year, with a notable acceleration in growth from 2022 onwards, indicating an ongoing asset accumulation or investment strategy.

Debt to Assets Ratio (including operating lease liability)

The debt to assets ratio initially decreased from 0.37 in 2020 to 0.33 in 2021, implying that asset growth outpaced debt accumulation during that year. However, from 2021 to 2024, the ratio gradually increased from 0.33 to 0.40, suggesting that the increase in total debt became more pronounced relative to asset growth in this later period. The ratio reaching 0.40 in 2024 indicates a higher leverage level compared to earlier years, reflecting a rising reliance on debt financing.

The financial data reveals several notable trends over the five-year period under review. Total assets have shown consistent growth year-over-year, rising from $19,351 million in 2020 to $35,509 million in 2024. This upward trajectory indicates an expansion in the company's asset base, reflecting either acquisitions, investments, or organic growth contributing to the asset accumulation.

Stockholders’ equity has also increased steadily from $9,187 million in 2020 to $16,903 million in 2024, nearly doubling over the timeframe. The equity growth suggests retention of earnings, capital infusions, or a combination thereof, which strengthens the company's net worth and supports its financial stability.

Financial leverage, expressed as a ratio, has fluctuated within a narrow range from 2.11 in 2020, decreasing to around 1.85-1.91 during the intermediate years, and returning close to its initial level at 2.10 in 2024. This pattern indicates that the company managed to reduce its reliance on debt relative to equity temporarily, but in the most recent year, leverage has increased slightly again to near prior levels.

Overall, the data suggests a growing company that has been expanding its asset base and equity concurrently, maintaining a moderate and relatively stable leverage position. The slight increase in financial leverage in the final year may warrant monitoring to understand the underlying causes and implications for financial risk and capital structure management.

The financial data reveal notable trends in the operating profitability, debt-related costs, and solvency metrics over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)

The EBIT demonstrated an overall upward movement from 2020 through 2022, increasing from 6,207 million US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 10,246 million US dollars in 2022. However, in the subsequent years, there was a decline to 7,771 million in 2023, followed by a further decrease in 2024 to 5,961 million. This suggests that operational profitability strengthened significantly in the early years before receding substantially in the most recent years.

Interest and debt expense

The interest and debt expense showed a consistent rising trajectory over the entire period. Commencing at 190 million US dollars in 2020, the expense gradually increased each year, reaching 508 million dollars in 2024. This indicates a growing cost associated with debt financing or increased indebtedness.

Interest coverage ratio

The interest coverage ratio, which reflects the ability to service interest expenses from operating profits, presented a declining trend after an initial rise. Starting at 32.67 in 2020, it increased to a peak of 49.47 in 2021 and slightly decreased to 47.88 in 2022. From 2022 onwards, the ratio declined markedly to 22.01 in 2023 and further down to 11.73 in 2024. This sharp reduction suggests a diminishing capacity to cover interest expenses from EBIT, likely driven by the declining EBIT combined with rising interest expenses.

Overall, the data indicate that although operating profitability improved initially, recent years have witnessed a downturn in EBIT alongside escalating interest costs. Consequently, the financial buffer to meet interest obligations has weakened considerably, implying increased financial risk or stress in servicing debt.

Earnings Before Fixed Charges and Tax

The earnings before fixed charges and tax show an increasing trend from 2020 to 2022, rising from 6,277 million USD in 2020 to a peak of 10,313 million USD in 2022. This is followed by a notable decline over the subsequent two years, with earnings dropping to 7,844 million USD in 2023 and further down to 6,046 million USD in 2024. The data indicates a significant rebound in profitability up to 2022, succeeded by a period of contraction.

Fixed Charges

Fixed charges have remained relatively stable around the mid-200 million USD range from 2020 through 2022, with values of 260 million USD, 253 million USD, and 281 million USD, respectively. However, they substantially increase in the following years, reaching 426 million USD in 2023 and 593 million USD in 2024. This considerable rise in fixed charges contrasts with the declining earnings observed during the same period.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

The fixed charge coverage ratio exhibits a strong upward trend initially, moving from 24.14 in 2020 to a peak of 36.7 in 2022, suggesting enhanced ability to cover fixed charges from earnings. Nonetheless, this ratio sharply deteriorates in the last two years, falling to 18.41 in 2023 and further decreasing to 10.2 in 2024. This decline reflects the combined effect of decreasing earnings and increasing fixed charges, signaling a reduced buffer for covering fixed financial obligations.

Overall Financial Insight

The financial data points to a period of robust operational performance and strong coverage capacity until 2022, followed by a concerning downturn characterized by reduced earnings and elevated fixed charges. The significant drop in fixed charge coverage ratio in the most recent years highlights a weakening financial position regarding fixed payment obligations, which warrants attention for risk management and operational adjustments moving forward.
