Product and Financial Highlights – Fiscal 2012

• Xilinx recently unveiled its Vivado™ Design Suite, a new IP and system-centric design environment built from the ground up to accelerate design productivity for the next decade of what Xilinx calls ‘All-Programmable’ Devices. These devices go beyond programmable logic and IO to enable programmable systems integration leveraging 3D stacked silicon interconnect technology, ARM based embedded systems, Analog Mixed Signal, advanced high speed serial transceivers, and a growing percentage of IP cores. The Vivado Design Suite is estimated to provide customers with up to a 4X productivity advantage over last generation development environments, and is key to enabling customers to take full advantage of Xilinx’s market leading 28-nm offerings.

• Xilinx continued its aggressive rollout of its 28-nm product portfolio. Xilinx was the industry’s first to release an FPGA at 28-nm with its optimized Kintex-7 product family, the first to introduce a programmable 3D IC product with over 6.8 billion transistors and the first to introduce a device integrating a full ARM-based embedded processing system along with programmable Analog Mixed Signal data converters, effectively expanding the Xilinx portfolio to cover all types of programmable technologies. This now includes hardware and software, digital and analog, single and multiple die programmability.

• Xilinx established a new benchmark for single chip serial bandwidth with the recent release of the Virtex-7 X690T device with over 2 Tbps aggregate serial bandwidth to address the most demanding next generation wired communications equipment.

• Xilinx generated record operating cash flow of $827 million in fiscal 2012 up from $724 million in the prior fiscal year. During the fiscal year, Xilinx continued to demonstrate a strong commitment to returning shareholder value by increasing its quarterly dividend $0.03 per share to $0.22 per share. Dividends paid to shareholders were a record $200 million and seven million shares were repurchased for $220 million during the fiscal year.

Business Outlook – June Quarter Fiscal 2013

• Sales are expected to be up 1% to up 5% sequentially.

• Gross margin is expected to be approximately 65% - 66%.

• Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $220 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 277 million.

• June quarter tax rate is expected to be approximately 16%.
