XILINX ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2007 EARNINGS
SAN JOSE, CA, JULY 25, 2006 — Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX) today announced net revenues of $481.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, up 2% sequentially from the prior quarter and up 19% from the same quarter a year ago. First quarter net income of $82.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, included stock-based compensation of $26.8 million. The Company began expensing stock options in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and, therefore, equivalent stock-based compensation expense was not reflected in the year-ago period when the Company earned $76.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share.
Included in our results is a $1.5 million charge related to minor differences between approval documentation and certain recorded stock option grant dates. This one time charge was not material to any particular quarter in the Company’s history, and thus there is no restatement to the Company’s financial statements. The company has in nearly all cases followed a policy of issuing its stock options on pre-set dates. The investigation into our stock option practices is not yet complete. We anticipate its completion prior to filing the Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Xilinx also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per outstanding share of common stock, payable on September 6, 2006 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2006.
Additional first quarter comparisons are represented in the chart below.

Wireless infrastructure sales drove the increase in the Communications segment during the quarter. Sales from wireless customers were particularly strong in Europe, more than offsetting weakness in wireless applications in Japan.

Highlights — June quarter fiscal 2007:
· On May 15, 2006, Xilinx announced initial shipments of Virtex-5 LX FPGAs, the first of four domain-optimized platforms in its new 65-nanometer (nm) Virtex-5 field programmable gate array (FPGA) family. Key design team innovations in process technology, architecture and product development methodology have led to considerable performance and density gains over previous generation 90-nm FPGAs — while reducing
