Xilinx Updates Financial Guidance for First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Jun 29, 2020
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX), the leader in adaptive and intelligent computing, today updated the range of its prior guidance for its first quarter of fiscal 2021 ended June 27, 2020, as set forth below:

34% (3)
11%-13%
Notes regarding Non-GAAP Adjustments:
(1) Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles
(2) M&A related expenses and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles
(3) Income tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments, excluding a one-time charge related to impacts from a third-party legal proceeding related to cost sharing arrangements (see Non-GAAP Financial Information - Income Taxes for additional detail)
While we have seen some COVID-19 related impacts during the June quarter, our business has generally performed well overall, with stronger than expected revenues in our Wired and Wireless Group and Data Center Group more than offsetting weaker than expected revenues in our consumer-oriented end markets, including automotive, broadcast, and consumer. A portion of the revenue strength in the quarter was due to customers accelerating orders following recent changes to the U.S. government restrictions on sales of certain of our products to international customers, said Victor Peng, Xilinx's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Given our preliminary assessment of the expected financial results in the June quarter, we are raising the midpoint for revenue and narrowing our overall guidance ranges. Furthermore, we are updating our expected tax rate for the June quarter to include the prior and current year potential impacts of the Altera Corp. v. Commissioner tax case, a third-party legal proceeding concerning related-party R&D cost sharing arrangements and stock-based compensation. The potential impact for prior years is approximately $57 million while the impact to the fiscal 2021 expected tax rate is an additional 1%-2%.
We will continue to closely monitor the business environment, which remains dynamic. Based on our current assessment, we expect our fiscal second quarter revenues to be, approximately, in line with the fiscal first quarter.
There will be no conference call associated with this press release. Xilinx will report results for the fiscal first quarter and provide more detailed estimates for its fiscal second quarter during its next earnings conference call scheduled for July 30, 2020.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
First quarter of fiscal 2021 business outlook 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 Companys 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 Companys 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. The Company believes these costs do not reflect its 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.
Income taxes: The Company excludes the income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments reflected in operating expenses and other income, as detailed above, including a one-time charge of approximately $57 million for the fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2020 impact of the Supreme Court's June 22, 2020, decision not to hear the Altera Corp. v. Commissioner ( Altera ) case. Xilinx is not a party to the proceedings but is subject to the findings of the case. The Altera tax case concerns related party R&D cost sharing arrangements and whether stock-based compensation should be included in the pool of costs to be shared. With the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the Altera case, the decision of the 9th Circuit (which would apply to taxpayers such as Xilinx) that stock-based compensation is to be included in the pool of costs to be shared remains in place. Despite the decision in Altera, the law remains unsettled and the Company will continue to monitor developments and the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements and tax filings. Please see Note 14. Income Taxes to our financial statements in o
