XILINX PROVIDES DECEMBER QUARTER UPDATE
SAN JOSE, CA, DECEMBER 21, 2010 — Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX) today provided updated sales guidance for the December quarter of fiscal 2011.
| • | December quarter sales are expected to be down approximately 7% to 9% sequentially. This is a revision from previous sales guidance of flat to down 4% sequentially. The decreased sales guidance is primarily related to weaker than anticipated sales to a few large communications customers, specifically in the wireless segment. |
| • | The Company expects sales growth to return to the communications segment in the March quarter based on current backlog and forecasts from its large customers. |
| • | Gross margin is expected to be approximately 65%, in line with previous guidance. Additional commentary pertaining to the March quarter will be provided when the company reports its third quarter financial results on January 19, 2011. |
