As anticipated, sales decreased in the March quarter driven primarily by declines in defense, wireless and consumer applications. “Sales from wired communication applications, which have been impacted by significant consolidation activity in the telecommunications end market, were up slightly during the quarter after two sequential quarters of steep declines,” said Wim Roelandts, Xilinx chief executive officer. “I view this as an optimistic sign that some stabilization in customer ordering patterns may be returning to this sector.”

Highlights –Fiscal 2007:

  • Xilinx continued to achieve greater end market diversification in the Consumer and Automotive and Industrial and Other end markets in fiscal 2007.

Within these end markets, sales from defense and consumer applications posted the strongest growth.

  • During the year, Xilinx demonstrated its strong commitment to returning value to stockholders by raising its dividend twice and continuing to repurchase its stock. Xilinx’s dividend is currently $0.12 per common share, a yield of approximately 2% and among the highest in the semiconductor industry. This is up from $0.07 per common share at the end of fiscal 2006. Additionally, Xilinx repurchased over 55 million shares of its common stock during fiscal 2007 for $1.43 billion, significantly reducing the outstanding share count.
     
  • Xilinx’s successful introduction of 65nm technology in April 2006 enabled the Company to achieve a significant lead over other PLD competitors. Xilinx currently supplies nearly 100% of the PLD industry’s 65nm sales. Sales from Xilinx’s 65nm Virtex-5 family increased significantly during the quarter approaching $5 million. Xilinx is also the frontrunner in 90nm sales having obtained early leadership with the introduction of its high volume FPGA family, the Spartan-3 family. Xilinx sales from products manufactured using 90nm and 65nm process technologies increased approximately 130% during fiscal 2007 to represent 21% of total sales, up from less than 10% of sales in fiscal 2006.
     
  • Xilinx’s commitment to corporate responsibility was rewarded when the Company was named one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2007 by CRO/Business Ethics magazine based on strong financial performance and responsible practices concerning environmental and social issues.

Business Outlook – June Quarter Fiscal 2008

  • Revenues expected to be up 1% to 5% sequentially.
  • Gross margin expected to be approximately 62%.
  • Operating expenses are expected to be down approximately 4% to 5% sequentially.
  • Other income including interest expense is expected to be approximately $15 million.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of stock-based compensation and the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-based Payment" (SFAS 123(R)). The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the Company exclude the statement of income effects of all forms of stock-based compensation and the effects of SFAS 123(R) upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP net income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP measures and may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Xilinx believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures and our reconciliations, provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Xilinx’s financial condition and results of operations. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measure s and their use by Company management, see the Form 8-K dated April 25, 2007 that Xilinx has filed with the SEC.
