Product and Financial Highlights
- Xilinx's 28nm product family significantly surpassed $200 million in sales during the March quarter, setting a PLD industry record. Introduced in 2011, the 28nm node is the broadest product family ever offered by Xilinx with innovative new products such as Zynq SoCs and 3D ICs. As a result, this node is driving success across multi-markets as well as a much longer and more profitable sales ramp than any product in Xilinx's history.
- Xilinx and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the General Availability of Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud F1 instances. F1 provides programmable hardware acceleration with FPGAs and enables users to optimize their compute resources for the unique requirements of their workloads. F1 instances will be used to solve complex science, engineering and business problems that require high bandwidth, enhanced networking and very high compute capabilities.
- The PLD Industry's most successful All Programmable SoC, Xilinx's Zynq family, surpassed 10% of sales in the recently ended March quarter, achieving a new record. Sales for these devices are being driven by a broad base of applications including Advanced Driver Assist, Aerospace and Defense, Industrial and Communications.
- Xilinx recently announced a major expansion of the 16nm portfolio with our All Programmable RF SoC product family, a disruptive integration and architectural breakthrough for 5G wireless with RF class analog technology. This family provides a 50-75% power and footprint reduction for 5G, cable and wireless backhaul applications.
- Xilinx recently introduced the reVISION stack, enabling design teams without deep hardware expertise to more easily combine machine learning and computer vision algorithms into highly responsive systems. This software stack is intended to enable new applications such as collaborative robots, drones, augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, automated surveillance and medical diagnostics.
- Xilinx recently increased its quarterly dividend by $0.02 per share to $0.35 per share, effective in the June quarter of fiscal 2018, marking its 12th consecutive year of dividend increases. During fiscal 2017, Xilinx generated $934 million in operating cash flow, paid its shareholders a record $333 million in dividends and repurchased 9.8 million shares for $522 million.
Business Outlook – June Quarter Fiscal 2018
- Sales are expected to be approximately $600 million to $630 million.
- Gross margin is expected to be 68% to 70%.
- Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $242 million including $1 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.
- Other income is expected to be approximately $1 million.
- June quarter tax rate is expected to be approximately 12-15%.
