Xilinx, Inc. Research Reports
On July 22, 2014, Xilinx, Inc. (Xilinx) reported financial results for Q1 FY 2015 (period ended June 28, 2014). In Q1 FY 2015, the Company generated net revenues of $612.6 million, up 5.8% YoY. Q1 FY 2015 net income was $173.6 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with $157.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in Q1 FY 2014. "June quarter revenues were impacted by weaker than anticipated sales from our defense and wireless businesses," said Moshe Gavrielov, President and CEO of Xilinx. "However, I am pleased by our continued focus on supply chain efficiencies and cost reduction efforts, which resulted in gross and operating margins of 69.1% and 33.7%, respectively. Looking ahead to the second half of our fiscal year, I believe Xilinx is positioned to benefit from a recovery in wireless and defense programs as well as improved business conditions in wired communications and industrial applications."

"We expect adjusted gross margin to be 34.0 to 35.0 percent due primarily to higher sales and factory loadings as well as improved product mix. We anticipate R&D and SG&A spending to be $97 to $99 million due to higher variable compensation expenses and lack of the one-time cost benefit in the prior quarter offset by seasonal spending reductions. The adjusted tax rate is forecast at 15 percent plus or minus 3 percentage points for the quarter." The full research reports on Fairchild are available to download free of charge at:
