We are pleased with our fiscal second quarter performance, which came in above the mid-point of guidance, said Xilinx president and CEO Victor Peng. Our strong results were driven by another record quarter in our Data Center Group and Aerospace & Defense businesses, as well as improvement in our Automotive and Broadcast end markets. In addition, RFSoC sales ramped meaningfully with a tier-1 wireless OEM customer for 5G radio deployment in North America.

Our strategic transformation to an adaptive platform company continues with healthy design win momentum during the quarter. Notable customer wins included a marquee SmartNIC design win with a U.S. tier-1 hyperscaler, as well as Zynq MPSoC design wins with Subaru and Continental. We also remain on track with our Versal program ramp with a leading wireless OEM later this year.

Xilinx business continued to strengthen in fiscal Q2, buoyed by the economic recovery and increasing demand across our broad set of end markets, said Xilinx CFO Brice Hill. This drove better than expected sequential revenue growth of 5% and GAAP operating income growth of 17%, resulting in $232 million of free cash flow and $93 million in capital return to stockholders with our quarterly dividend. Our financial position is strong and we remain confident as we prepare to expand the Zynq and Versal product lines and capture additional growth opportunities.

Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal Second Quarter 2021

Advanced Products were 70% of total revenue, an 8% increase Q-T-Q and 13% decrease Y-T-Y. Zynq-based revenue grew 28% Q-T-Q and declined 20% Y-T-Y, and represented 22% of total revenue. Sequential strength was driven by improvement in the Automotive end market and 5G ramp in the Wireless end market.

Subaru selected Xilinx to power the new version of its vision-based advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS), EyeSight, which will provide advanced features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and pre-collision braking.

Xilinx announced the T1 Telco Accelerator Card for O-RAN distributed units (O-DUs) and virtual baseband units (vBBUs) in 5G networks, which enables the O-DU to deliver greater 5G performance and services while reducing overall system power consumption and cost.
