Highlights - December Quarter Fiscal 2009

-- For the second consecutive quarter, sales to customers in wireless communications were particularly strong, increasing over 10% sequentially. Most of this growth was attributable to the next generation rollout of wireless technologies in China. Xilinx FPGA solutions, most notably Virtex-5 FPGAs, are key beneficiaries of this next generation wireless technology rollout due to their high performance, functionality and system integration capabilities.

-- Xilinx continues to have one of the most stable and resilient business models in the technology industry in terms of profitability and cash flow generation. In the December quarter, Xilinx generated $128.5 million in operating cash flow and paid $146.3 million in cash to repurchase $241.1 million (principal amount) of convertible debentures and $38.4 million in cash dividends. Xilinx currently has among the highest dividend yields in the technology industry.
