"New Product sales increased 17% sequentially in the December quarter, driven by robust adoption of Kintex(TM)-7 and Virtex®-6 FPGAs. Strength from New Products is an encouraging sign in the face of macroeconomic conditions that remained challenging during the quarter," said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. "Exiting calendar 2012, I believe we have the strongest product portfolio in our history, a generation ahead of the competition. Our 28-nm products have gained significant momentum across a broad base of applications with clear leadership in performance, power and integration. Sales from these product families increased nearly 20% sequentially in the December quarter, exceeding expectations."

Highlights - December Quarter Fiscal 2013


    --  Xilinx announced its strategy for its 20-nm portfolio, including the
        next-generation 8 series All Programmable FPGAs and second generation of
        3D ICs and SoCs.  This next generation product family builds on a
        substantial competitive technology lead and addresses the rigorous
        requirements of next-generation ever 'smarter,' highly integrated,
        bandwidth hungry systems.   The Vivado(TM) Design Suite is co-optimized
        with the 20-nm products to enable an unprecedented level of routability,
        quality of results, and up to a 4X improvement in design productivity.
    --  Xilinx estimates its share of the PLD market increased by nearly three
        percentage points in calendar 2012.  Share gains were driven by
        particularly strong customer adoption of our 40-nm and 28-nm product
        families.  These product families are being designed into a broad base
        of applications within wired and wireless communications, industrial,
        defense, audio video broadcast and automotive.

    --  Sales are expected to be up 2% to 6% sequentially.
    --  Gross margin is expected to be approximately 66%.
    --  Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $208 million,
        including $2 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.
    --  Other income and expense is expected to be an expense of approximately
        $7 million.
    --  Fully diluted share count is expected to be approximately 274 million.
    --  March quarter tax rate is expected to be approximately 13 - 14%.
