“Sales growth was impacted in the June quarter by supply constraints primarily relating to certain Virtex®-5 devices in high demand,” said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. “We reduced SG&A and R&D expenses by more than 5% sequentially and generated $128 million of operating cash flow. At the same time, we remain committed to our ongoing investment in next generation FPGA development, which we expect to drive future growth opportunities.”

During the June quarter, sales from Asia Pacific increased 2% sequentially to represent a record 37% of total sales. This was up from 35% of sales in the prior quarter, and up from 32% of total sales in the same quarter a year ago. Sales from all other geographies declined sequentially during the quarter.
