"I am very excited to report yet another record revenue and earnings quarter. During the third fiscal quarter, we delivered revenues of $800 million, representing 34% year over year growth. Based on the guidance we are providing for the fiscal fourth quarter, we expect to exceed $3 billion in annual revenues for the first time in our history. In addition to the robust revenue growth, we also demonstrated strong profitability by posting over 60% growth in non-GAAP operating income and over 40% growth in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share year over year. We continue to execute to our strategy and drive growth across our portfolio," said Victor Peng, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal Third Quarter 2019

    --  Data Center and Test, Measurement & Emulation (TME) revenues grew 14%
        year over year driven primarily by the Data Center business
        (ex-Cryptocurrency) and TME business, which both experienced double
        digit growth during the quarter. Xilinx continued its strong design win
        momentum in Data Center across multiple applications including big data
        acceleration, machine learning inference, video transcoding, network
        acceleration and storage controllers. The Company also has won designs
        for SmartNIC applications with multiple hyperscalers. Further developing
        its platform ecosystem, the Company significantly increased the
        cumulative number of Xilinx community developers trained on SDAccel to
        over 2,250. FaaS engagement momentum continued to build with Amazon,
        Alibaba, Huawei and other hyperscalers. TME revenues were strong across
        both the Test & Measurement area and Emulation & Prototyping, reflecting
        strong product leadership position in those markets.
    --  Communications revenues increased 41% year over year, driven by strength
        in the Wireless Communications business. Wireless Communications
        benefitted from 5G deployment in South Korea and preparation for 5G
        deployment in both China and North America as well as ongoing LTE
        upgrades. Wireless Communications also saw continued momentum across
        both radio and baseband applications with OEM customers across multiple
        geographies. Wired business grew year over year with strength from
        Optical/Data Center Interconnect applications.
    --  Xilinx continued engagement momentum with several leading automotive
        customers during the quarter with the goal of enabling their roadmap
        toward automated driving. During the Xilinx Developer Forum in
        Frankfurt, Daimler showcased its AI solution in the new Mercedes GLE
        Sport Utility Vehicle that is powered by Xilinx machine learning
        algorithms and MPSoCs. In addition, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a global
        leader and Tier-1 automotive supplier, recently announced a strategic
        collaboration in which Xilinx technology will power their
        highly-advanced AI based automotive control unit to enable automated
        driving applications.
    --  The Advanced Products category increased 51% year over year during the
        quarter. Revenue from 16nm products continued its strong ramp with
        broad-based adoption, increasing approximately 4x during the same
        period. Zynq-based revenues, grew approximately 80% year over year
        driven by a broad set of applications across multiple end markets,
        served in particular by MPSoC. Zynq MPSoC revenues grew over 3x compared
        to fiscal third quarter 2018.
    --  Extending its significant technology leadership, Xilinx taped out Versal
        - the industry's first Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) at
        the end of fiscal third quarter. Built on TSMC's 7nm FinFET process
        technology, the Versal portfolio is the first platform to combine
        software programmability with domain-specific hardware acceleration and
        the adaptability essential for today's rapid pace of innovation.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Fiscal third quarter 2019 results and business outlook for the March quarter include financial measures which are not determined in accordance with the United States 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. The 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 uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein to evaluate the Company's financial results from continuing operations (excluding the impact of acquisitions) and compare to operating performance in 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 non-core business expenses such as acquisition-related amortization and non-recurring items.

M&A related expenses: These expenses mainly consist of legal and consulting fees associated with due diligence review of acquired companies. We believe that these costs do not reflect the Company's current operating performance. Consequently, the non-GAAP adjustments exclude these charges to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles: Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology acquired in connection with business combinations. The non-GAAP adjustments exclude these charges to facilitate an evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.

Gains on investment related to acquisition: The Company excludes the accounting gain resulting from revaluation of its prior minority investment in DeePhi Tech. The Company believes excluding this gain will facilitate a comparable evaluation of its current operating performance to its past operating performance.

Income taxes: The Company excludes the income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments reflected in Operating Expenses and Other Income, as detailed above. It also excludes U.S. tax reform related items. The Company believes excluding U.S. tax reform related items will facilitate a comparable evaluation of its current performance to its past performance. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 outlook does not reflect other tax related items which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.
