“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.”

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.
