Sales from all geographies except North America were up sequentially in the September quarter. Total international sales increased 2% sequentially representing a record 66% of total sales in the quarter, up from 62% in the same quarter of the prior year. The decline in sales from North America was primarily due to weakening sales from defense and wired communications applications.

Operating income for the September quarter was $124.6 million representing 25.8% of net revenues. This was the highest operating margin reported by Xilinx in nearly three years and a direct result of continued expense controls.

"Sales growth from our industry's leading Virtex-5 family was the highlight of the quarter," said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. "Virtex-5 FPGA sales increased over 40% sequentially during the quarter representing over 10% of total sales, up from 2% in the same quarter of the prior year. Sales from this family were driven by a broad base of applications with particularly strong growth coming from next generation wireless activity in China."

        Highlights  -  September  Quarter  Fiscal  2009

        --  During  the  quarter,  Xilinx  announced  the  new  Virtex-5  TXT  FPGA
              platform.    Targeted  for  use  in  next  generation  Ethernet  bridging  and
              switching  solutions  as  well  as  applications  in  high  performance
              computing  and  video  broadcast,  these  devices  deliver  the  highest  number
              of  6.5Gbps  serial  transceivers  available  on  any  FPGA,  and  are  fully
              supported  with  application-specific  IP,  development  tools,  and
              reference  designs  for  implementing  high-bandwidth  protocol  bridging.
        --  Sales  from  the  Spartan-3E  and  3A  families  increased  18%  sequentially  in
              the  September  quarter  driven  primarily  by  applications  including  set
              top  boxes,  Digital  Video  Recorders,  wired  telecommunications  and
              automotive  telematics.    Sales  from  these  product  families  represented
              6%  of  total  sales,  nearly  doubling  compared  to  the  same  quarter  a  year
              ago.
