Sales from all geographies except North America were up sequentially in the September quarter. Total international sales increased 2% sequentially representing a record 66% of total sales in the quarter, up from 62% in the same quarter of the prior year. The decline in sales from North America was primarily due to weakening sales from defense and wired communications applications.

Operating income for the September quarter was $124.6 million representing 25.8% of net revenues. This was the highest operating margin reported by Xilinx in nearly three years and a direct result of continued expense controls.

"Sales growth from our industry's leading Virtex-5 family was the highlight of the quarter," said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. "Virtex-5 FPGA sales increased over 40% sequentially during the quarter representing over 10% of total sales, up from 2% in the same quarter of the prior year. Sales from this family were driven by a broad base of applications with particularly strong growth coming from next generation wireless activity in China."
