Q3 Fis­cal 2021 Finan­cial Highlights

(In mil­li­ons, except EPS)

“Third quar­ter reve­nues excee­ded the high end of our gui­dance, deli­ve­ring both sequen­ti­al and annu­al growth, demons­t­ra­ting streng­thening busi­ness con­di­ti­ons and solid exe­cu­ti­on,” said Vic­tor Peng, Xilinx pre­si­dent and CEO. “Our Wired and Wire­less Group per­for­med bet­ter than expec­ted as 5G deploy­ments ram­ped more meaningful­ly in North Ame­ri­ca. We achie­ved a record quar­ter in Auto­mo­ti­ve, Broad­cast and Con­su­mer end mar­kets, dri­ven by the ongo­ing eco­no­mic reco­very, as demand for auto­mo­bi­les streng­the­ned and live media events retur­ned. In addi­ti­on, as expec­ted, our first 7nm Ver­sal ACAP has gone into pro­duc­tion with a lea­ding wire­less OEM. We are exci­ted to see the Ver­sal pro­duct port­fo­lio begin to con­tri­bu­te to Xilinx’s long-term growth.”

“Our invest­ments con­ti­nue to deli­ver strong returns, with our Advan­ced Pro­ducts gro­wing 8% sequen­ti­al­ly and repre­sen­ting 72% of total reve­nue,” said Bri­ce Hill, Xilinx CFO. “We con­ti­nue to dri­ve our trans­for­ma­ti­on to a plat­form com­pa­ny as demons­tra­ted by our Zynq plat­form pro­duct reve­nue gro­wing 24% sequen­ti­al­ly, making up 27% of total reve­nue during the quar­ter. Our effi­ci­ent finan­cial model gene­ra­ted signi­fi­cant free cash flow of $354 mil­li­on, or 44% of Q3 revenue.”

Pro­ducts are clas­si­fied as follows:

Advan­ced Pro­ducts: Alveo and rela­ted pro­ducts, UltraS­ca­le+, UltraS­ca­le and 7‑series products.

Core Pro­ducts: Virtex‑6, Spartan‑6, Virtex-5, CoolRunner-II, Virtex‑4, Vir­tex-II, Spartan‑3, Spartan‑2, XC9500 pro­ducts, con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­ons, soft­ware & support/services.

Pro­duct and Finan­cial High­lights — Fis­cal Third Quar­ter 2021

• Advan­ced Pro­ducts repre­sen­ted 72% of total reve­nue, an 8% increase quar­ter over quar­ter and a 15% increase year over year. Zynq plat­form reve­nue grew 24% sequen­ti­al­ly and 29% year over year, repre­sen­ting 27% of the total reve­nue. The sequen­ti­al strength was dri­ven by impro­ve­ment in the Auto­mo­ti­ve and Broad­cast end mar­kets and the ramp of 5G in the Wire­less end market.
• Xilinx ship­ped its first pro­duc­tion 7nm Ver­sal ACAP parts to a lea­ding wire­less OEM, enab­ling the advan­ced signal pro­ces­sing per­for­mance and adap­ta­bi­li­ty nee­ded to deli­ver the next-gene­ra­ti­on 5G tech­no­lo­gies like beam­forming. Xilinx con­ti­nues to make pro­gress on broa­de­ning the Ver­sal port­fo­lio with addi­tio­nal Ver­sal pro­ducts in late-stage development.
• Xilinx intro­du­ced Zynq RFSoC DFE, which com­bi­nes har­den­ed digi­tal front-end (DFE) blocks and adap­ta­ble logic to build high-per­for­mance, low-power, and cost-effec­ti­ve 5G NR radio solu­ti­ons for a broad array of use cases, ran­ging across low, mid and high-band spectrum.
• Xilinx announ­ced a col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Texas Instru­ments to deve­lop sca­lable and adap­ta­ble DFE solu­ti­ons to increase ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy of lower anten­na count radios.
• Xilinx and Sam­sung announ­ced the avai­la­bi­li­ty of the Sam­sung SmartS­SD Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Sto­rage Dri­ve (CSD). Powered by Xilinx’s FPGAs, the SmartS­SD CSD pro­vi­des the per­for­mance, cus­to­miza­ti­on, and sca­la­bi­li­ty requi­red by data-inten­si­ve applications.
• Xilinx announ­ced the acqui­si­ti­on of Fal­con Com­pu­ting Solu­ti­ons, Inc., a lea­ding pro­vi­der of high-level syn­the­sis com­pi­ler opti­miza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy for hard­ware acce­le­ra­ti­on of soft­ware applications.

Com­men­ta­ry on AMD Transaction

As announ­ced on Octo­ber 27, 2020, Advan­ced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) intends to acqui­re Xilinx in an all-stock tran­sac­tion valued at $35 bil­li­on. The com­bi­na­ti­on enhan­ces AMD’s lea­der­ship posi­ti­on in high per­for­mance com­pu­ting, signi­fi­cant­ly expan­ding the breadth of AMD’s pro­duct port­fo­lio and cus­to­mer set across diver­se growth mar­kets whe­re Xilinx is an estab­lished lea­der. Due to the pen­ding acqui­si­ti­on, Xilinx will not hold an ear­nings con­fe­rence call or pro­vi­de for­ward-loo­king gui­dance. Also, pur­su­ant to the terms of the Mer­ger Agree­ment bet­ween the Com­pa­ny and AMD, Xilinx will sus­pend decla­ra­ti­on and dis­tri­bu­ti­on of its quar­ter­ly divi­dend as well as its open mar­ket stock repurcha­se program.

Non-GAAP Finan­cial Information

Fis­cal third quar­ter 2021 results 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. Xilinx’s (the Com­pa­ny) 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, other than free cash flow, 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, as descri­bed below:

M&A rela­ted expen­ses: The­se expen­ses main­ly con­sist of legal, advi­so­ry and con­sul­ting fees asso­cia­ted with acqui­si­ti­on acti­vi­ties, and also include fees and reten­ti­on com­pen­sa­ti­on rela­ted to the Company’s acqui­si­ti­on by AMD. The Com­pa­ny belie­ves the­se cos­ts do not reflect its cur­rent 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.

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 other signi­fi­cant tax effects of post-acqui­si­ti­on tax inte­gra­ti­on tran­sac­tions. The Com­pa­ny belie­ves exclu­ding post-acqui­si­ti­on tax inte­gra­ti­on items will faci­li­ta­te a com­pa­ra­ble eva­lua­ti­on of its cur­rent per­for­mance to its past performance.

In addi­ti­on, free cash flow, which is cash flow from ope­ra­ti­ons adjus­ted to exclude addi­ti­ons to soft­ware, pro­per­ty, plant, and equip­ment, is used by manage­ment when asses­sing the Company’s sources of liqui­di­ty, capi­tal resour­ces, and qua­li­ty of ear­nings. The Com­pa­ny belie­ves that this non-GAAP finan­cial mea­su­re is hel­pful in under­stan­ding the Company’s capi­tal requi­re­ments and pro­vi­des an addi­tio­nal means to eva­lua­te the cash flow trends of the Company’s business.
