XLNX ( sell to $40) sees 1Q rev falling 32% Comments on Guidance for June Quarter SAN JOSE, Calif., Jun 26, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX) stated today that, due to decreased turns business in the first three weeks of June, it now expects revenues for the first quarter to decline by approximately 32% sequentially. The Company noted that in the current business environment, a greater percentage of its revenues have been generated by turns business, which the Company believes reflects a change in customer spending practices due to the overall industry downturn. Turns business is customer orders that are booked and shipped within the same quarter. Xilinx also stated that it expects gross margins to approximate 52% in the first quarter. The gross margin decline is primarily due to lower-than-expected sales and a mix shift to higher density devices primarily within the Virtex(TM)-E family of FPGAs. Currently, high-density Virtex-E devices and the recently introduced Virtex-II FPGA family, which shipped primarily in June, have lower average gross margins than our mainstream products. Xilinx quarterly results for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 will be released on July 19th, 2001, after the close of the market. The Company will host its earnings release conference call later that afternoon. During the earnings release conference call, Xilinx expects to provide additional guidance for the second fiscal quarter.
