Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal Year 2019

    --  Driven by 5G, Communications revenues increased 34% compared to last
        fiscal year. Wireless strength resulted from momentum across both radio
        and baseband applications with OEM customers; especially due to 5G
        deployment in South Korea and preparation for 5G deployment in China.
        During the year, Xilinx and Samsung jointly enabled the world's first 5G
        NR commercial deployment. Xilinx also expanded its breakthrough RFSoC
        portfolio to the full sub-6GHz spectrum support that is required for 5G.

    --  Data Center and Test, Measurement & Emulation (TME) revenues grew double
        digits during fiscal year 2019, driven by the Data Center business which
        grew 40%. During the fiscal year, Xilinx demonstrated strong design-win
        momentum across hyperscalers, enterprise customers and partners and
        increased the cumulative number of Xilinx ISV partners to over 500.
        Xilinx continued to enable key Xilinx platform and Alveo partners
        through its corporate venture initiatives, doubling ecosystems
        investments year over year to more than 20 portfolio companies
        addressing key applications in a variety of areas including data
        analytics, financial computing and video streaming acceleration.
        Continuing on this path, Xilinx announced today that it has entered into
        a definitive agreement to acquire Solarflare Communications, a leading
        provider of high-performance, low latency networking solutions for
        customers spanning FinTech to cloud computing, further accelerating its
        "Data Center First" strategy. This acquisition will enable Xilinx to
        combine its industry leading FPGA, MPSoC and ACAP solutions with
        Solarflare's high-speed network interface card (NIC) technology and
        Onload application acceleration software, to enable a new converged
        SmartNIC platform.
    --  Xilinx Automotive business grew double digits reflecting the Company's
        leading and growing position in Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS).
        During the fiscal year, Daimler showcased its AI solution in the new
        Mercedes GLE Sport Utility Vehicle that is powered by Xilinx products.
        In addition, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a global leader and Tier-1
        automotive supplier announced a strategic collaboration in which Xilinx
        technology will power its highly advanced AI-based automotive control
        unit to enable automated driving applications. Further, BYD in China
        started mass production of front-camera ADAS technology using Xilinx
        SoCs.
    --  Industrial, Aerospace & Defense as well as Automotive, Broadcast and
        Consumer primary end markets grew to new sales records, with each market
        supported by a robust and diversified portfolio. Industrial, Aerospace &
        Defense strength was driven primarily by Industrial growing double
        digits. Revenues from Automotive, Broadcast and Consumer were driven by
        double digit growth from each of the businesses.

The telephonic replay will be available for two weeks following the live call.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Fiscal fourth quarter 2019 results and business outlook for the June 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 acquisition activities. We believe 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.

Executive transition costs: The Company excludes the costs associated with the executive transition that took place in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, which primarily consisted of stock-based compensation and severance payments. The Company believes the exclusion of such costs 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 first quarter of fiscal 2020 outlook does not reflect other tax related items which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.
