“Despite our fiscal 2020 being uniquely challenging, particularly related to the US trade-related restrictions with Huawei as well as some COVID-19 impact during our Q4, we were able to deliver another record year with revenue of $3.16 billion, a 3% increase over fiscal 2019,” said Xilinx president and CEO Victor Peng. “The strength and diversity of our business were reflected in the results of our fiscal fourth quarter with strong sequential growth in both revenue and profitability.”

“There remains a high degree of uncertainty in the global business environment given the impact of COVID-19 which creates challenges with visibility beyond the near term. Therefore, we believe it is prudent to provide only quarterly guidance at this time. We will continue to closely monitor business conditions. Lastly, I want to thank our employees for their continued focus and commitment in these challenging times.”

Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal Year 2020

The Data Center Group (DCG) delivered 22% revenue growth over fiscal 2019 driven by increased adoption with hyperscale customers across compute, networking and storage workloads. Pipeline for new opportunities in compute continues to show strong growth for video, HPC, database and fintech. Leveraging the Solarflare acquisition, Xilinx shipped Alveo U25 SmartNIC, the first internally developed SmartNIC solution, in the fiscal fourth quarter and is being evaluated by multiple customers. SmartSSD is also gaining traction with Tier-1 and Tier-2 hyperscale customers. Xilinx now has over 10,000 developers trained on Xilinx software tools, including Vitis, nearly 1,000 ISV partners and over 130 applications published for Alveo.

The Wired and Wireless Group (WWG) delivered relatively flat revenues, down 1% vs. fiscal 2019, despite facing a highly challenging business environment related to trade restrictions and an industry slowdown in the ramp of 5G. Xilinx continues to maintain strong engagements with global OEMs across a variety of deployments and applications. Xilinx recently announced a strategic engagement with Samsung on a second generation 5G radio design that includes beamforming technology leveraging the 7 nm Versal platform. Adoption of Xilinx’s RFSoC products also continues to ramp with key wins for DFE applications as well as for O-RAN deployments, as recently announced with Telefónica.

Revenues from Core Markets Group grew 6% year over year, showing the strength and stability of Xilinx’s broad and robust end markets. Aerospace & Defense, Industrial and Test & Measurement (AIT) revenue grew 5% annually, driven by solid Aerospace & Defense performance. Automotive, Broadcast and Consumer (ABC) markets delivered 8% annual growth, with strength seen in all end markets despite headwinds in fiscal fourth quarter from COVID-19 impacts. Zynq adoption remains strong in Automotive markets with broad utilization in ADAS and infotainment applications.






Xilinx is committed to doing its part in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Xilinx has been working to support some of the largest medical suppliers in the world, such as Mindray and GE Healthcare, to supply critical technology to test and treat COVID-19, including helping to power ventilators, patient monitors, respirators and patient ICU beds. In addition, earlier this month, Xilinx donated $1.1 million for COVID-19 relief to various global and local health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) Solidarity Response Fund, The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) COVID-19 Response Fund and the Silicon Valley Strong Fund. Xilinx is also matching employee contributions to various relief efforts.

During fiscal year 2020, Xilinx returned approximately $1.58 billion to shareholders. This included $1.21 billion through share repurchases at an average price of $93.73 per share and $372 million through dividends.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Fiscal year 2020 and fourth quarter 2020 results and business outlook for the June quarter include financial measures which are not determined in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as indicated.  Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures has been reconciled, in each case, to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, as indicated in the accompanying tables. The Company’s calculation of such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein to evaluate the Company's financial results from continuing operations (excluding the impact of acquisitions) and compare to operating performance in past periods.  Similarly, Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because it enables investors and analysts to evaluate operating expenses of the Company's core business, excluding the impact of non-core business expenses such as acquisition-related amortization and non-recurring items.

M&A related expenses: These expenses mainly consist of legal and consulting fees associated with acquisition activities. The Company believes these costs do not reflect its current operating performance. Consequently, the non-GAAP adjustments exclude these charges to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.
 
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles: Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology acquired in connection with business combinations. The non-GAAP adjustments exclude these charges to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.

Inventory valuation adjustment: Business combination accounting principles require the Company to measure acquired inventory at fair value. The fair value of inventory reflects the acquired company’s cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. The non-GAAP adjustment to the Company’s cost of revenues excludes the expected profit margin component that is recorded under business combination accounting principles associated with the Company’s acquisitions. The Company believes the adjustment is useful to investors as an additional means to reflect cost of revenues and gross margin trends of its business.

Gain on investment related to acquisition: The Company excludes the accounting gain resulting from revaluation of its prior minority investment in DeePhi Tech. The Company believes excluding this gain will facilitate a comparable evaluation of its current operating performance to its past operating performance.

Income taxes: The Company excludes the income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments reflected in Operating expenses and Other income, as detailed above. It also excludes U.S. tax reform related items and other significant tax effects of post-acquisition tax integration transactions.  The Company believes excluding U.S. tax reform and post-acquisition tax integration items will facilitate a comparable evaluation of its current performance to its past performance. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 outlook does not reflect other tax related items which the Company is not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.

Severance-related expenses: These expenses primarily consist of severance-related pay and benefits in connection with the targeted reduction in force. The Company believes excluding these charges will facilitate a comparable evaluation of its current operating performance to its past and future performance.
