# Texas Instruments Cuts Jobs After Getting $1.6B in CHIPS Funding

> Texas Instruments (TI) has laid off employees at its Lehi, Utah plant despite receiving $1.61 billion in CHIPS funding to expand U.S. manufacturing. The layoffs, affecting about 30% of the staff, are part of organizational changes for operational efficiency. TI's financial performance has declined, with a 2% drop in Q4 2024 revenue and a 12% drop in net profit. However, TI is continuing construction on a new fabrication plant in Utah, expected to create 800 jobs, while also anticipating $6 billion to $8 billion from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for manufacturing investments.

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up! We've got a wild ride ahead as we dive into the latest from texas instruments (TI). The semiconductor giant just laid off employees at its Lehi, Utah, plant, and the timing couldn't be more perplexing. Why? Because just months ago, TI received a whopping $1.61 billion in funding from the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act to expand its U.S. manufacturing capacity. So, what's the deal? Let's break it down!

First things first, TI confirmed the layoffs on March 28, 2025. The company claims these cuts are part of organizational changes aimed at ensuring long-term operational efficiency. But here's the kicker: the layoffs didn't reach the threshold requiring a formal notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. That means fewer than 500 employees were affected, but reports suggest about 30% of Lehi staff were impacted, including key roles in process engineering and equipment technology.

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room. TI's financial performance has been shaky. In Q4 2024, the company reported a 2% year-over-year decline in revenue and a 12% drop in net profit. Full-year revenue and profit also fell for the second consecutive year, and TI has projected further sales declines for early 2025. Ouch!

But here's where it gets interesting. Despite the layoffs, TI is doubling down on its commitment to Utah. The company is continuing construction on its second 300mm wafer fabrication plant in Lehi, known as LFAB2, which is expected to create 800 new jobs. TI's CEO, Haviv Ilan, stated, "Utah continues to be an important part of our manufacturing footprint and company strategy as we build geopolitically dependable capacity to meet customer needs for decades to come."

So, what does this mean for TI's future? The layoffs could potentially enhance operational efficiency and improve financial performance in the short term. But there's a catch. The layoffs could also impact TI's ability to meet customer demand in the short term, which could have a negative impact on its financial performance.

Let's not forget about the CHIPS funding. TI is expected to receive an estimated $6 billion to $8 billion from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Investment Tax Credit for qualified U.S. manufacturing investments. This funding, coupled with the $1.61 billion in direct funding, will help TI provide a geopolitically dependable supply of essential analog and embedded processing semiconductors.

In conclusion, the layoffs at Texas Instruments' Lehi plant are a double-edged sword. While they could potentially enhance operational efficiency and improve financial performance in the short term, they could also impact TI's ability to meet customer demand in the short term. But one thing is for sure: TI is betting big on its future in Utah, and with the CHIPS funding, it has the resources to make it happen. So, stay tuned, folks! This story is far from over.
