Product and Financial Highlights – Fiscal 2014
- During fiscal year 2014, sales from Xilinx's 28nm product portfolio, which includes the 7 series FPGAs and the Zynq-7000 family, surpassed $380 million with material contributions from all product families. 28nm momentum has continued to grow, driven by a wide range of applications that includes next generation LTE wireless base stations, OTN, Datacenter, industrial networking, surveillance, electronic warfare and automotive driver assist.
- The Company continued to drive gross margin improvement, achieving a record 68.8% gross margin in fiscal year 2014, up from 66.0% in the prior fiscal year. This improvement reflects the Company's continued discipline and focus on driving gross margin expansion projects across our product portfolio.
- Xilinx generated over $800 million in operating cash flow in fiscal 2014. Demonstrating a strong commitment to increase shareholder value, Xilinx paid its shareholders a record $267M in dividends and repurchased 5.2 million shares for $242 million. Xilinx recently increased its quarterly dividend by $0.04 per share to $0.29 per share.
