“We closed 2015 with strong momentum as fourth quarter orders and revenue exceeded our expectations,” stated Jay Flatley, CEO. “Our recent product announcements of MiniSeq™ and Infinium® XT further enhance the most extensive genomics portfolio available. This portfolio, combined with our investments in Project Firefly, Helix, and GRAIL, will position us for long-term growth as we enable our continued penetration of the enormous markets ahead.”




Updates since our last earnings release:
Announced the formation of GRAIL, a new company to enable asymptomatic cancer screening through the development of a pan-cancer screening test
Launched the MiniSeq System, a flexible benchtop sequencer priced at $49,500, and cost-efficient to run, which will allow virtually any laboratory to adopt next-generation sequencing (NGS), regardless of sample volume
Launched Infinium XT, a 96-sample BeadChip offering laboratories the ability to perform genotyping on larger numbers of samples
Previewed Project Firefly, a highly-reliable, easy-to-use NGS platform available in the second half of 2017 that will minimize hands-on time for both library preparation and sequencing
Launched EpiSeq™, an NGS service for epidemiological monitoring and control of healthcare-associated infections, in partnership with bioMérieux
Entered into partnership with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. to develop NGS workflow for single-cell analysis
Entered into a collaboration with Novogene to develop clinical applications in the fields of reproductive health and oncology based on Illumina’s NGS technology

Financial outlook and guidance
The non-GAAP financial guidance discussed below reflects certain pro forma adjustments to assist in analyzing and assessing our core operational performance. Please see our Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance included in this release for a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

For fiscal 2016, the Company is projecting approximately 16% revenue growth assuming current exchange rates, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders of $3.55 to $3.65. These projections assume full year non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 73% and a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of approximately $30 million. Full-year weighted average diluted shares outstanding, for the measurement of pro forma amounts, is expected to be approximately 149 million shares.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures
The company reports non-GAAP results for diluted net income per share, net income, gross margins, operating expenses, operating margins, other income, and free cash flow in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The company’s financial measures under GAAP include substantial charges such as stock compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense associated with the company’s convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, and others that are listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release. Management believes that presentation of operating results that excludes these items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing the company’s past and future operating performance.

The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the tables of this release.

Use of forward-looking statements
This release contains projections, information about our financial outlook, earnings guidance, and other forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on our expectations as of the date of this release and may differ materially from actual future events or results. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are (i) our ability to further develop and commercialize our instruments and consumables and to deploy new products, services, and applications, and expand the markets, for our technology platforms; (ii) our ability to manufacture robust instrumentation and consumables; (iii) our ability to successfully identify and integrate acquired technologies, products, or businesses; (iv) our expectations and beliefs regarding future conduct and growth of the business and the markets in which we operate; (v) challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, and launching new products and services; and (vi) the application of generally accepted accounting principles, which are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments, together with other factors detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, or in information disclosed in public conference calls, the date and time of which are released beforehand. We undertake no obligation, and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, to review or confirm analysts’ expectations, or to provide interim reports or updates on the progress of the current quarter.

(a) Net cash provided by operating activities excludes excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation of $126.7 million in fiscal 2015, of which $5.0 million was recorded in Q4, and $126.5 million in fiscal 2014, of which $23.8 million was recorded in Q4. Net cash used in financing activities reflects the excess tax benefit as a corresponding in-flow in the respective periods.

(b) Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow is useful to management as it is one of the metrics used to evaluate our performance and to compare us with other companies in our industry. However, our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

(a) Non-cash interest expense is calculated in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash.

(b) Legal contingencies in fiscal 2015 represent charges related to patent litigation. Legal contingencies in fiscal 2014 primarily represent a gain related to the settlement of our patent litigation with Syntrix Biosystems, Inc., partially offset by the expenses recorded upon our litigation settlement and pooling of patents with Sequenom, Inc.

(c) Contingent compensation expense relates to contingent payments for post-combination services associated with an acquisition.

(d) Acquisition related expense (gain), net consists of changes in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction related costs.

(e) Cost-method investment gain, net consists primarily of gains on disposition of investments partially offset by impairment charges on other investments.

(f) Tax benefit related to cost-sharing arrangement refers to the exclusion of stock compensation from prior period cost-sharing charges as a result of a recent tax court ruling.

(g) Incremental non-GAAP tax (expense) benefit reflects the tax impact related to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above.

(h) Non-GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders exclude the effect of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders are key drivers of the Company’s core operating performance and major factors in management’s bonus compensation each year. Management has excluded the effects of these items in these measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future core operating performance.

(i) Impairments in fiscal 2014 consisted of a gain on an asset sale associated with a non-core product line discontinued in 2013, partially offset by an intangible asset impairment.

The upfront payments to Sequenom were recorded in research and development expense.

Non-GAAP operating profit, and non-GAAP other expense, net, exclude the effects of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above.
