Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal Year 2018

    --  The Advanced Products category continues to deliver strong revenue
        growth during fiscal year 2018, posting an increase of 28% from the
        previous year and constituting approximately 54% of total sales.
        Broad-based growth was driven by the Zynq SoC platform and the
        industry-leading 20nm and 16nm technology nodes. Zynq platform revenue
        increased more than 60% during the year with growth driven largely by
        applications in Advanced Driver Assist (ADAS), Industrial, Aerospace and
        Defense, Communications, and Consumer. Revenues from the 20nm node
        increased more than 50% from the previous year and the 16nm node
        continued its accelerated ramp with sales more than quadrupling during
        the same period.
    --  The Industrial, Aerospace & Defense end market set another annual sales
        record in fiscal year 2018 with revenues of approximately $1.2 billion,
        an increase of 21% compared to fiscal year 2017. The growth was driven
        primarily by significant strength in Aerospace & Defense and
        Semiconductor Test and Emulation Applications.
    --  Xilinx has established significant momentum in Data Center over the past
        fiscal year, both developing the foundation for and building out a
        vibrant ecosystem. The Company demonstrated significant developer
        engagement on the AWS F1 instance and has trained a total of more than
        400 developers, with approximately 300 of those in the March quarter
        alone. Xilinx continues to invest in its SDAccel environment and
        middleware libraries to make it easier for software programmers to
        program Xilinx FPGAs in higher level languages using industry standard
        APIs and frameworks. As an example, Xilinx recently released a Machine
        Learning suite on the AWS F1 environment with support for TensorFlow.
    --  Xilinx recently announced a new breakthrough product category called
        Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) that extends far beyond
        the capabilities of an FPGA. An ACAP is a highly integrated multi-core
        heterogeneous compute platform that can be changed at the hardware level
        to adapt to the needs of a wide range of applications, including
        Artificial Intelligence, and workloads resulting from explosive growth
        of unstructured data such as database acceleration and video
        transcoding.
    --  During fiscal year 2018, Xilinx returned approximately $828 million to
        shareholders. This included $475 million through share repurchases at an
        average price of $68.30 per share and $353 million through dividends.
        Xilinx recently increased its quarterly dividend by $0.01 per share to
        $0.36 per share, effective in the June quarter of fiscal year 2019,
        marking its 13(th) consecutive year of dividend increases.

Business Outlook - June Quarter Fiscal Year 2019

    --  Sales are expected to be approximately $660 - $690 million.
    --  Gross margin is expected to be 69% to 71%.
    --  Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $260 million
    --  Other income is expected to be approximately $3 million.
    --  June quarter tax rate is expected to be approximately 10% -14%
