SAN JOSE, CA, JULY 17, 1997
-- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced record revenues for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 1997. Revenues for the quarter totaled $160.8 million, up 6% from $151.8 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year, and up 7% from $150.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Net income was $33.4 million, or $0.41/share, up 10% from $30.4 million, or $0.38/share, for the preceding quarter, and up 3% from $32.5 million, or $0.41/share, in the first quarter of the last fiscal year.

Gross margin rose to just over 62% while operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased relative to the preceding quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined from 20.8% of revenues in the previous quarter to 20.3% of revenues in the current quarter, while research and development expenses remained constant at 12.4% of revenues for both periods.

"I continue to be pleased by the revenue contributions of our new products which constituted nearly $7 million this quarter", remarked Wim Roelandts, Xilinx Chief Executive Officer. "The XC9500 In-System-Programmable (ISP) CPLD family doubled in revenue this quarter, and the high-density, high-speed XC4000X family is currently the fastest ramping FPGA in the industry's history. On the software side, we shipped approximately 1,700 revenue seats this quarter, and our new Alliance/M1 software continues to be well-received in the marketplace."

First quarter North American sales to major end markets were as follows: communications, 37%; dataprocessing, 29%; and industrial, 15%. In addition, Xilinx continued to realize strong revenues from networking companies, which represented an all-time high 15% of North American revenues. Geographically, revenues from North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific were up sequentially, while revenues from Japan declined.

Additionally, Xilinx reduced its own inventory levels during the June quarter. Inventory days fell from 96 at the end of the March quarter, to 76 at the end of June.
