“I am very pleased with our fiscal 2011 results. Record sales and continued fiscal discipline contributed to significant improvements in our profitability. Gross and operating margins were a record 65.4% and 33.6%, respectively, in fiscal 2011. This is up from 63.4% and 23.6%, respectively, in the prior fiscal year,” said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. “In fiscal 2012, we will continue to demonstrate clear 28-nm technology leadership with our game changing product strategy. Xilinx was the first PLD company to tape out 28-nm product, the first to deliver 28-nm silicon to customers, and the first and only company to demonstrate working 28-nm silicon at the recent NAB Conference and Globalpress Electronics Summit. We have already taped out three 28-nm FPGAs thus far and we continue to expect the product rollout at this technology node to be the fastest in our history.”

Product and Financial Highlights — Fiscal 2011

	•		Xilinx fortified its 28-nm leadership by shipping the industry’s first 28-nm FPGA, a Kintex™-7 device, in March. As Xilinx’s first mid-range FPGA family, Kintex-7 leverages the unified architecture shared across the 7 series families to enable the industry’s fastest product rollout of next generation programmable logic devices. At the same time, customers benefit with the ability to begin designs now that may ultimately migrate to Virtex®-7 or Artix™-7 FPGAs.
	•		Xilinx extended its competitive leadership by taping out the industry’s first stacked silicon interconnect technology for delivering breakthrough capacity, bandwidth and power savings using multiple FPGA die in a single package. This FPGA-based platform approach currently has no competition in the marketplace. It is the result of five years of Xilinx research and development efforts coupled with industry leading technology from TSMC and our assembly suppliers.
	•		Xilinx unveiled the Zynq™7000 family, the industry’s first Extensible Processing Platform, which tightly integrates a complete ARM(R) Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ processor-based system with 28-nm, low-power programmable logic. This product targets end markets such as video surveillance, automotive driver assistance, factory automation, and audio, video and broadcast and has already received a number of design wins.
	•		Xilinx generated record cash flow and returned record value to shareholders in fiscal 2011 as measured by total dollars invested in buyback and dividend. In fiscal 2011, Xilinx generated over $720 million in cash, up from $554 million in the prior fiscal year. During the fiscal year, Xilinx increased its dividend by $0.03 per diluted share to $0.19 per diluted share and repurchased $469 million in stock.

Business Outlook — June Quarter Fiscal 2012

	•		Sales are expected to be flat to up 4% sequentially.
	•		Gross margin is expected to be approximately 64% to 65%.
	•		Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $206 million, including $2 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.
	•		Other income and expense is expected to be an expense of approximately $8 million.
	•		Fully diluted share count is expected to be approximately 274 million.
	•		June quarter tax rate is expected to be approximately 16%.
