TI's fourth-quarter results and first-quarter outlook include restructuring charges for cost-saving actions in Embedded Processing and in Japan. The company is not exiting any markets or discontinuing any existing products but will reduce investments in markets that do not offer sustainable growth and returns. The savings will reflect the elimination of about 1'100 jobs worldwide. The charges are expected to be about USD 80 million, of which USD 49 million was included in the fourth quarter of 2013 and about USD 30 million will be included in the first quarter of 2014. The company expects to achieve annualised savings of about USD 130 million by the end of 2014. Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO, made the following comments: "TI's outlook for the first quarter of 2014 is for revenue in the range of USD 2.83 billion to USD 3.07 billion and earnings per share between USD 0.36 and USD 0.44, including charges. The annual effective tax rate for 2014 is expected to be about 27 percent, which reflects the expiration of the R&D tax credit.”
