    Sales from all geographies were in line with expectations with the
exception of Europe. Weaker than anticipated European sales were driven
primarily by customers in the Industrial and Data Processing Categories.
Sales from Asia Pacific reached a record 29% of total sales, driven
primarily by sales to communications customers in the region. New Product
sales, which were slow in the prior quarter, increased 17% sequentially and
represented 28% of total sales, up from 24% in the prior quarter. Sales
from the Company's Virtex(TM)-5 FPGAs posted the strongest growth within
this category.
    "While sales growth was slightly lower than originally anticipated, I
am pleased with our progress during the quarter in the areas of expense
reduction and inventory management," said Wim Roelandts, Xilinx chief
executive officer. "Expense controls contributed in part to an operating
margin of 22% for the quarter, up from 18% in the prior quarter. Xilinx
inventory days decreased 16 days to 79 days--the lowest level in over three
years and a direct result of focused supply chain management."
    Business Review -- June Quarter Fiscal 2008

    -- Total inventory days at Xilinx and distribution were 101 days, down
       from 120 days last quarter.
    -- Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 43, up from 37 in the
       prior quarter.
    -- Capital expenditures and depreciation were $16 million and $12 million,
       respectively.

    Highlights -- June Quarter Fiscal 2008:

    -- Xilinx continued to strengthen its 65-nm leadership and is now shipping
       on schedule all Virtex-5 LX, LXT and SXT devices. Additionally, Xilinx
       has produced working silicon for its FXT product, expected to be
       introduced later this fiscal year.
    -- Xilinx began shipping the low-cost Spartan-DSP series targeting
       applications such as video surveillance and wireless. This family
       offers lower power and higher performance at the lowest cost points in
       the FPGA industry versus competing DSP solutions.
    -- The Company recently introduced Integrated Software Environment
       (ISE(TM)) WebPACK(TM) 9.2i which offers software support for the
       Company's Virtex-5 FPGAs in addition to the latest Spartan-3A DSP
       platform FPGA. Also, following the successful launch of the PCI
       Express solution kit last quarter, Xilinx introduced two additional
       solution kits for gigabit Ethernet applications and memory interfaces.
       Solution kits simplify and accelerate broad adoption of advanced
       technologies by mainstream PLD designers.


    Business Outlook -- September Quarter Fiscal 2008

    -- Revenues are expected to be flat to down slightly sequentially.
    -- Gross margin is expected to be between 62% and 63%.
    -- Operating expenses are expected to be up approximately 2% sequentially.
    -- Other income including interest expense is expected to be approximately
       $16 million.
    -- Tax rate is expected to be approximately 21%.
    -- Fully diluted share count is expected to be approximately flat at
       303 million shares.
