Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal First Quarter 2019

    --  Data Center and Test, Measurement & Emulation (TME) revenues, excluding
        cryptocurrency and TME, increased both sequentially and year over year.
        Data Center business momentum continued to strengthen with key design
        wins from hyperscalers globally for accelerating applications beyond
        FPGA as a Service (FaaS). Progress also continued on the AWS FaaS
        offering with the training of an additional 500 developers, bringing the
        cumulative number trained to date to over 900. We are on track to
        achieve our goal of over 1,500 developers trained by the end of the
        year.
    --  Xilinx recently acquired DeePhi Tech, strengthening the Company's
        capabilities in AI from the cloud to the edge. DeePhi Tech is a
        Beijing-based technology company with industry-leading capabilities in
        machine learning, specializing in compression, pruning, and system-level
        optimizations for neural networks. DeePhi has been developing its
        machine learning solutions on Xilinx platforms since their inception in
        2016. In addition to the DeePhi acquisition, Xilinx made multiple
        investments in private companies during the quarter to expand the Xilinx
        ecosystem across a breadth of applications including data analytics,
        video transcoding and network intelligence.
    --  Highlighting the Company's continued transformation into a platform
        company, Zynq based revenues grew 76% year over year driven largely by a
        broad set of applications in Advanced Driver Assist (ADAS), Industrial,
        Communications, and Data Center. The Zynq SoC Platform, which includes
        Zynq at 28nm and both MPSoC and RFSoC at 16nm, now represents 17% of
        total revenues.
    --  Xilinx announced a partnership with Daimler AG for developing a custom
        AI inference platform. Powered by a Xilinx automotive platform
        consisting of SoC devices and AI acceleration software, the scalable
        solution will deliver high performance, low latency and power efficient
        embedded AI for automotive applications. Further, the Company has
        cumulatively shipped more than 50 million ADAS units to OEMs and Tier 1
        suppliers.
    --  The Advanced Products category in the first quarter increased 21% year
        over year and constituted approximately 56% of total sales. Revenues
        from the 20nm node increased more than 30% year over year and the 16nm
        node continued its accelerated ramp with sales increasing over 2.5x
        during the same period.
    --  Everest, the industry's first Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform
        (ACAP), has won the "Semiconductor of the Year 2018" award from
        Electronic Device Industry News, a Japanese news outlet. The Everest
        ACAP is a highly integrated multi-core heterogeneous compute platform
        that can be programmed at the hardware and software level. Xilinx
        remains on track to tape out Everest later this year.

Conference Call

A conference call will be held today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss the June quarter financial results and management's outlook for the September quarter and full year of fiscal year 2019. The webcast and subsequent replay will be available in the investor relations section of the Company's web site at www.investor.xilinx.com. A telephonic replay of the call may be accessed later in the day by calling (855) 859-2056 and referencing confirmation code 9176449. The telephonic replay will be available for two weeks following the live call.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Business outlook for the September quarter and full year of fiscal year 2019 includes financial measures which are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as indicated. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures has been reconciled, in each case, to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, as indicated in the accompanying tables. The Company's calculation of such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Management plans to use the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein to evaluate the Company's financial results in fiscal second quarter 2019 and beyond from continuing operations (excluding the recent acquisition of DeePhi Tech) as compared to past periods. Similarly, Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because it enables investors and analysts to evaluate operating expenses of the Company's core business, excluding the impact of certain amortization and non-recurring items.
