Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 21, 2015, Illumina, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2015.  Additional information regarding the Company’s quarterly performance is listed below in the format of a Q&A.

Please note, the total shipments of all models of HiSeq (2500, 3000 and 4000), excluding the HiSeq X, increased both year-over-year and sequentially.  During the conference call, however, the X qualifier was inadvertently dropped from the following statement, “As expected, shipments of HiSeq X instruments were lower sequentially and year-over-year.”
 
Top Q&A:
Q: Were sequencing consumables down sequentially? 
A: Q2 sequencing consumable revenue increased sequentially to approximately $250M.  This sequential increase was offset by a greater decline in array consumables.
 
Q:  What is the health of the sequencing consumables franchise?
A:   The health of the sequencing consumables franchise is very robust.  As a reminder, in Q2 HiSeq X and NextSeq utilization per instrument was above our guidance ranges while MiSeq and HiSeq were within their respective ranges, indicating sequencing consumables exceeded our expectations in the quarter.  As a reminder, the annual utilization ranges for each instrument are noted in the following table:  
 
Instrument Family
Annual Utilization Guidance (per instrument)
MiSeq
$40K-$45K
NextSeq
$80K-$100K
HiSeq
$300K-$350K
HiSeq X
$600K-$650K
 
 
Q: How does the second quarter book to bill compare to prior quarters?
A: Q2 was a strong order quarter which resulted in a book to bill of 1.1, a notable increase versus our typical trend for this metric.  
 
Q: When citing your quarterly HiSeq X order rate expectations were you referring to HiSeq X Ten/X Five total systems or HiSeq X instrument units?  
A:  As clarification, our expected normalized quarterly order rate includes a total of 20 to 30 HiSeq X units, not systems.  As a reminder a HiSeq X Five system is five units and a HiSeq X Ten system is ten units.
