Turns business, which are orders that are booked and shipped within the quarter, were weaker than anticipated in the month of September. Most of this weakness was concentrated among large communications and storage companies that have manufacturing operations in Asia Pacific. Combined sales from Xilinx's 90-nanometer products, Virtex(TM)-4 and Spartan(TM)-3, doubled sequentially, meeting expectations and representing 10% of total revenues.

"The September quarter was a challenging quarter. I am pleased, however, with the growth of our 90nm products. Additionally, significant yield improvements on these products during the quarter positively impacted gross margin which increased to 61.4%, up from 60.9% in the prior quarter," said Wim Roelandts, Chairman and CEO.

    Business Review -- September Quarter FY06

    -- Total inventory days at Xilinx and distribution were 146 days, up from
       132 days last quarter.
    -- Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 44, flat from the prior
       quarter.
    -- Capital expenditures and depreciation were $16 million and $13 million,
       respectively.

       contributing to Xilinx's better gross margin.
    -- Sales from each of the three Virtex-4 family domains, LX, FX and SX,
       more than doubled sequentially.  Design wins for this family are strong
       across a broad base of end markets and backlog moving into the December
       quarter is up significantly.

    Business Outlook -- December Quarter FY06

    -- Revenues expected to be up 1% - 5% sequentially.
    -- Gross margin expected to be 62% - 63%.
    -- Operating expenses expected to be down 1% sequentially.
