Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Organization and Business
Illumina, Inc. is a provider of sequencing- and array-based solutions, which serves customers in a board range of markets, enabling the adoption of genomic solutions in research and clinical settings. The Company’s customers include leading genomic research centers, academic institutions, government laboratories, and hospitals, as well as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrigenomics, commercial molecular diagnostic laboratories, and consumer genomics companies.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned or controlled companies, and variable interest entities (VIEs) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities that are not wholly-owned by the Company to determine if these entities are VIEs, and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and is therefore required to consolidate the VIE, the Company applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the rights to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE. The Company continuously assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in the consolidation or deconsolidation, as the case may be. The Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to its VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.
The equity method is used to account for investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Such investments are recorded within other assets, and the share of net income or losses of equity investments is recognized on a one quarter lag in other expense, net.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity (net assets) in a consolidated entity that is not wholly-owned by the Company that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests with embedded contingent redemption features, such as put rights, that are not solely within the Company’s control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets.
Segment Information
The Company is organized into three operating segments for purposes of evaluating its business operations and reviewing its financial results. One segment consists of Illumina’s core operations (Core Illumina). The other two segments relate to the activities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, GRAIL and Helix. The combined results of operations of the Company’s consolidated VIEs became material during the year ended January 1, 2017. As such, the Company commenced reporting two segments, Core Illumina and Consolidated VIEs, during 2016. Financial information for all periods presented has been classified to reflect these changes to our reportable segments. For further information on the Company’s segments, refer to note “12. Segment Information, Geographic Data, and Significant Customers”.
Fiscal Year
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company’s fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to December 31, with quarters of 13 or 14 weeks ending the Sunday closest to March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The year ended
January 1, 2017
was 52 weeks; the year ended
January 3, 2016
was 53 weeks; and the year ended
December 28, 2014
was 52 weeks.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Since its initial release, the FASB has issued several amendments to the standard, which include clarification of accounting guidance related to identification of performance obligations, intellectual property licenses, and principal vs. agent considerations.
ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent amendments (collectively, the “new standards”) will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and may be applied using either the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application.
The Company formed an implementation team in 2016 to oversee adoption of the new standards. The implementation team has completed its initial assessment of the new standards, including a detailed review of the Company’s contract portfolio and revenue streams, particularly around product revenues, to identify potential differences in accounting as a result of the new standards. It performed an analysis of those differences and formed preliminary conclusions on the expected changes. While the team’s analysis to date suggests the impact of adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s existing revenue accounting policies or financial statements, there are a number of steps in the team’s project plan that remain to be completed including: finalizing contract reviews, evaluating the impact on the company’s services and other revenue streams, and working through anticipated changes to systems, business processes and controls to support the adoption of the new standards. Assuming the impact is not material, the Company expects to adopt the new standards using the modified retrospective method with an adjustment to beginning retained earnings for the cumulative effect of the change.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. ASU 2016-02 will be adopted on a modified retrospective transition basis for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
, which aims to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, classification on the statement of cash flows, accounting for forfeitures, and classification of awards as either liabilities or equity. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017 and the Company will classify excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements as a discrete item within the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statement of income, rather than recognizing excess tax benefits on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.
In addition, under the ASU, excess income tax benefits from share-based compensation arrangements are classified as cash flow from operations, rather than cash flow from financing activities. The Company has elected to apply the cash flow classification guidance retrospectively.
If this standard had been adopted in fiscal year 2016, the provision for income taxes would have been reduced by
$86.9 million
and cash flows from operating activities would have been increased by
$91.3 million
. Further, the Company had
$46.4 million
of unrealized excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation as of
January 1, 2017
. These tax benefits will be accounted for as a credit to retained earnings when this ASU becomes effective in the first quarter of 2017.
The actual benefit realized in the future periods is inherently uncertain and will vary based on the timing and value realized for future share-based payment arrangements. Other than these reclassifications, the effect of excess tax benefits on the provision for income taxes, and the adjustment to retained earnings, the Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available for sale debt securities. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company operates in markets that are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes, shifting customer needs, the emergence of competitive products or services with new capabilities, and other factors could negatively impact the Company’s operating results. A portion of the Company’s customers consist of university and research institutions that management believes are, to some degree, directly or indirectly supported by the United States Government. A significant change in current research funding, particularly with respect to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future revenues and results of operations.
The Company is also subject to risks related to its financial instruments including its cash and cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of
January 1, 2017
were deposited with U.S. financial institutions, either domestically or with their foreign branches. The Company’s investment policy restricts the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer to
5%
of the portfolio or
5%
of the total issue size outstanding at the time of purchase and to any one industry sector, as defined by Clearwater Analytics (Industry Sector Report), to
30%
of the portfolio at the time of purchase. There is no limit to the percentage of the portfolio that may be maintained in debt securities in U.S. government-sponsored entities, U.S. Treasury securities, and money market funds.
The Company requires customized products and components that currently are available from a limited number of sources. The Company sources certain key products and components included in its products from single vendors.
The Company performs a regular review of customer activity and associated credit risks and does not require collateral or enter into netting arrangements. Shipments to customers outside the United States comprised
46%
,
46%
, and
49%
of the Company’s revenue for the years ended
January 1, 2017
,
January 3, 2016
, and
December 28, 2014
, respectively. Customers outside the United States represented
48%
of the Company’s gross trade accounts receivable balance as of both
January 1, 2017
and
January 3, 2016
.
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
International sales entail a variety of risks, including currency exchange fluctuations, longer payment cycles, and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection. The Company is also subject to general geopolitical risks, such as political, social and economic instability, and changes in diplomatic and trade relations. The risks of international sales are mitigated in part by the extent to which sales are geographically distributed. The Company has historically not experienced significant credit losses from investments and accounts receivable.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value:
|
|
•
|
Level 1 —
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2 —
Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
|
The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, excluding acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities, approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Functional Currency
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s international operations. The Company re-measures its foreign subsidiaries’ monetary assets and liabilities to the U.S. dollar and records the net gains or losses resulting from re-measurement in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income.
Acquisitions
The Company measures all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies, at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent purchase considerations to be settled in cash are re-measured to estimated fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in acquisition related gain, net, a component of operating expenses. In addition, the Company capitalizes in-process research and development (IPR&D) and either amortizes it over the life of the product upon commercialization, or impairs it if the project is abandoned. Post-acquisition adjustments in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recorded in current period income tax expense.
In January 2016, the Company closed
two
acquisitions consisting of
$17.8 million
in upfront cash payments, equity
instruments, and certain contingent consideration provisions.
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Cash equivalents are comprised of short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase.
Short-term investments consist predominantly of debt securities in U.S. government-sponsored entities, corporate debt securities, and U.S. Treasury securities. Management classifies short-term investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All short-term investments are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis.
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Realized gains, losses, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in interest income in the consolidated statements of income.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. The Company reserves specific receivables if collectibility is no longer reasonably assured. The Company also reserves a percentage of its trade receivable balance based on collection history and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a regular basis and adjusts its reserves as needed. Once a receivable is deemed to be uncollectible, such balance is charged against the reserve.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first in, first out basis. Inventory includes raw materials and finished goods that may be used in the research and development process and such items are expensed as consumed or expired. Provisions for slow moving, excess, and obsolete inventories are estimated based on product life cycles, quality issues, historical experience, and usage forecasts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, subject to review for impairment, and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recorded over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets. Amortization of assets that are recorded under capital leases are included in depreciation expense. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating expense.
The estimated useful lives of the major classes of property and equipment are generally as follows:
|
|
|
|
Estimated Useful Lives
|
Building and leasehold improvements
|
4 to 30 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
3 to 5 years
|
Computer hardware and software
|
3 to 7 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
7 years
|
In 2015, as a part of the Company’s ongoing effort to upgrade its information systems, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning software and applications to manage parts of its business operations. Certain costs incurred in the development of such internal-use software and software applications, including external direct costs of materials and services and applicable compensation costs of employees devoted to specific software development were capitalized as computer software costs. Costs incurred outside of the application development stage were expensed as incurred.
Leases
Leases are reviewed and classified as capital or operating at their inception. Additionally, the Company evaluates whether it is the accounting owner during the construction period when the Company is involved in the construction of leased assets. For operating leases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which includes the construction build-out period and lease extension periods, if appropriate. The difference between rent payments and straight-line rent expense is recorded as deferred rent in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. Lease incentives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction to rent expense. The Company capitalizes leasehold improvements and amortizes the value over the shorter of the lease term or expected useful lives.
Headquarter relocation expenses consisted of expenses such as accelerated depreciation expense, impairment of assets, additional rent expense during the transition period in 2012 when both the new and former headquarter facilities were occupied, moving expenses, cease-use losses, and accretion of interest expense on lease exit liability. The Company completed the
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
relocation of its headquarters in 2012 to another facility in San Diego, California and recorded cease-use losses and the corresponding facility exit obligation upon vacating its former headquarters in 2011 and 2012, calculated as the present value of the remaining lease obligation offset by estimated sublease rental receipts during the remaining lease period, adjusted for deferred items and estimated lease incentives. The Company reassesses the facility exit obligation on a quarterly basis and the key assumptions used in the calculation include the amount and timing of estimated sublease rental receipts, and the risk-adjusted discount rate.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill, which has an indefinite useful life, represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired. The change in the carrying value of goodwill during the year ended
January 1, 2017
, was due to current year acquisitions. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually during the second quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. During its goodwill impairment review, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the overall financial performance of the Company. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no additional assessment is deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Company proceeds to perform the two-step test for goodwill impairment. The first step involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of loss, which involves comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill. The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment in a period and elect to proceed to perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The Company performed its annual assessment for goodwill impairment in the second quarter of
2016
, noting
no
impairment.
The Company’s identifiable intangible assets are typically comprised of acquired core technologies, licensed technologies, customer relationships, license agreements, and trade names. The cost of identifiable intangible assets with finite lives is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets’ respective estimated useful lives.
The Company regularly performs reviews to determine if any event has occurred that may indicate its intangible assets with finite useful lives and other long-lived assets are potentially impaired. If indicators of impairment exist, the Company performs an impairment test to assess the recoverability of the affected assets by determining whether the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the affected assets are not recoverable, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets and records an impairment loss if the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value. Factors that may indicate potential impairment include a significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization compared to its net book value, significant changes in the ability of a particular asset to generate positive cash flows the Company’s strategic business objectives, and the pattern of utilization of a particular asset.
Derivatives
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risks in the normal course of business. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risks related to monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value in other assets or other liabilities and are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the value of the derivatives are recognized in other expense, net, along with the re-measurement gain or loss on the foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities.
As of
January 1, 2017
, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts in place to hedge exposures in the euro, Japanese yen, and Australian dollar. As of
January 1, 2017
and
January 3, 2016
, the total notional amount of outstanding forward contracts in place for foreign currency purchases was
$68.8 million
and
$61.3 million
, respectively.
Warranties
The Company generally provides a
one
-year warranty on instruments. Additionally, the Company provides a warranty on consumables through the expiration date, which generally ranges from
six
to
twelve
months after the manufacture date. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses based on historical experience as well as anticipated product performance. The Company periodically reviews its warranty reserve for adequacy and adjusts
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the warranty accrual, if necessary, based on actual experience and estimated costs to be incurred. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of product revenue.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is generated primarily from the sale of products and services. Product revenue primarily consists of sales of instruments and consumables used in genetic analysis. Service and other revenue primarily consists of revenue generated from genotyping and sequencing services and instrument service contracts.
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product or system is required, revenue is deferred until all the acceptance criteria have been met. The Company occasionally offers discounts on newly introduced products to recent customers of existing products. These promotions sometimes involve the trade-in of existing products in exchange for a discount on new products. Where applicable, the Company defers a portion of revenue on the sales of existing products in recognition of the promotional discounts until the delivery of new products. All revenue is recorded net of discounts and sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities.
Revenue from product sales is recognized generally upon transfer of title to the customer, provided that no significant obligations remain and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from instrument service contracts is recognized as the services are rendered, typically evenly over the contract term. Revenue from genotyping and sequencing services is recognized when earned, which is generally at the time the genotyping or sequencing analysis data is made available to the customer or agreed upon milestones are reached.
In order to assess whether the price is fixed or determinable, the Company evaluates whether an arrangement is cancellable or subject to future changes in price, deliverables, or other terms. If it is determined that the price is not fixed or determinable, the Company defers revenue recognition until the price becomes fixed or determinable. The Company assesses collectibility based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with, and the creditworthiness of, the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a payment is not reasonably assured, revenue recognition is deferred until receipt of payment.
The Company regularly enters into contracts where revenue is derived from multiple deliverables including products or services. These products or services are generally delivered within a short time frame, approximately
three
to
six
months, after the contract execution date. Revenue recognition for contracts with multiple deliverables is based on the individual units of accounting determined to exist in the contract. A delivered item is considered a separate unit of accounting when the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Items are considered to have stand-alone value when they are sold separately by any vendor or when the customer could resell the item on a stand-alone basis.
For transactions with multiple deliverables, consideration is allocated at the inception of the contract to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. The relative selling price for each deliverable is determined using vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price or third-party evidence of selling price if VSOE does not exist. If neither VSOE nor third-party evidence exists, the Company uses its best estimate of the selling price for the deliverable.
In order to establish VSOE of selling price, the Company must regularly sell the product or service on a standalone basis with a substantial majority priced within a relatively narrow range. VSOE of selling price is usually the midpoint of that range. If there are not a sufficient number of standalone sales and VSOE of selling price cannot be determined, then the Company considers whether third party evidence can be used to establish selling price. Due to the lack of similar products and services sold by other companies within the industry, the Company has rarely established selling price using third-party evidence. If neither VSOE nor third party evidence of selling price exists, the Company determines its best estimate of selling price using average selling prices over a rolling
12
-month period coupled with an assessment of current market conditions. If the product or service has no history of sales or if the sales volume is not sufficient, the Company relies upon prices set by the Company’s pricing committee adjusted for applicable discounts. The Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance.
In certain markets, the Company sells products and provides services to customers through distributors that specialize in life science products. In most sales through distributors, the product is delivered directly to customers. In cases where the product is delivered to a distributor, revenue recognition is deferred until acceptance is received from the distributor, and/or the
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
end-user, if required by the applicable sales contract. The terms of sales transactions through distributors are consistent with the terms of direct sales to customers. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy described herein.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company incurs share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock, its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and stock options.
Restricted stock units (RSU), restricted stock awards (RSA), and performance stock units (PSU) are all considered restricted stock. The fair value of restricted stock is determined by the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, taking into consideration estimated forfeitures. PSU represents a right to receive a certain number of shares of common stock based on the achievement of corporate performance goals and continued employment during the vesting period. At each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of the achievement of such corporate performance goals and any additional expenses resulting from an adjustment in the estimated shares to be released are treated as a cumulative catch-up in the period of adjustment.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock purchases under ESPP and stock options granted. The model assumptions include expected volatility, term, dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company determines the expected volatility by equally weighing the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common stock. The historical volatility is generally commensurate with the estimated expected term of the Company’s stock awards, adjusted for the impact of unusual fluctuations and other relevant factors. The implied volatility is calculated from the implied market volatility of exchange-traded call options on the Company’s common stock. The expected term of an award is based on historical forfeiture experience, exercise activity, and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards. The expected dividend yield is determined to be
0%
given that the Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying such cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury securities with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the share-based awards.
Shipping and Handling Expenses
Shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of product revenue.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses include personnel expenses, contractor fees, license fees, facilities costs, and utilities. Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed in the period incurred.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were
$19.5 million
,
$18.5 million
, and
$16.4 million
for the years ended
January 1, 2017
,
January 3, 2016
, and
December 28, 2014
, respectively.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.
Deferred tax assets are regularly assessed to determine the likelihood they will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes it is more likely than not the future realization of all or some of a deferred tax asset will not be achieved. In evaluating the ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction which they arise the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence. Factors reviewed include the cumulative pre-tax book income for the past three years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, history of earnings and reliable forecasting,
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
projections of pre-tax book income over the foreseeable future, and the impact of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.
The Company recognizes excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation to stockholders’ equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to share-based compensation have been realized, the Company follows the with-and-without approach excluding any indirect effects of the excess tax deductions. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax benefits available to the Company.
The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be reflected in income tax expense.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders is computed based on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Per-share earnings of our VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share computations based on the Company’s share of the VIE’s securities.
Potentially dilutive common shares consist of shares issuable under convertible senior notes, equity awards, and warrants. Convertible senior notes have a dilutive impact when the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price of the respective notes. Potentially dilutive common shares from equity awards and warrants are determined using the average share price for each period under the treasury stock method. In addition, the following amounts are assumed to be used to repurchase shares: proceeds from exercise of equity awards and warrants; the average amount of unrecognized compensation expense for equity awards; and estimated tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when expenses related to equity awards become deductible. In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are identical because the otherwise dilutive potential common shares become anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded.
The following table presents the calculation of weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

Build-to-Suit Lease Liability
The Company evaluates whether it is the accounting owner during the construction period when the Company is involved in the construction of leased assets. As a result, the Company is considered the owner of
three
construction projects for accounting purposes only under build-to-suit lease accounting due to certain indemnification obligations related to the construction. As of
January 1, 2017
and
January 3, 2016
, the Company has recorded
$222.7 million
and
$9.5 million
, respectively, in project construction costs paid or reimbursed by the landlord as construction in progress and a corresponding build-to-suit lease liability. Once the landlord completes the construction projects, the Company will evaluate the lease in order to determine whether or not it meets the criteria for “sale-leaseback” treatment.
Investments in Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
GRAIL, Inc.
In January 2016, the Company obtained a majority equity ownership interest in GRAIL, Inc. (GRAIL), a company formed with unrelated third party investors to develop a blood test for early-stage cancer detection. The Company determined that GRAIL is a variable interest entity as the entity lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional support. Additionally, the Company determined that it has (a) control of the entity’s Board of Directors, which has unilateral power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of GRAIL and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of and the right to receive benefits from GRAIL that are potentially significant to GRAIL. As a result, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of GRAIL and is required to consolidate GRAIL. On a fully diluted basis, the Company holds a
52%
equity ownership interest in GRAIL as of
January 1, 2017
.
In January 2016, GRAIL completed its Series A convertible preferred stock financing, raising
$120.0 million
, of which the Company invested
$40.0 million
. Additionally, the Company and GRAIL executed a long-term supply agreement in which the Company contributed certain perpetual licenses, employees, and discounted supply terms in exchange for
112.5 million
shares of GRAIL’s Class B Common Stock. Such contributions are recorded at their historical basis as they remain within the
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
control of the Company. The
$80.0 million
received by GRAIL from unrelated third party investors upon issuance of its Series A convertible preferred stock is classified as noncontrolling interests in stockholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
In June 2016, GRAIL authorized for issuance
97.5 million
shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, all of which were issued to Illumina in exchange for
97.5 million
shares of Illumina’s Class B Common Stock. As a result of the exchange, Illumina recorded a
$9.5 million
deemed dividend net of tax of
$9.6 million
through equity, which was eliminated in consolidation.
Prior to the exchange, the Company absorbed
90%
of GRAIL’s losses based upon its proportional ownership of GRAIL’s common stock. Thereafter, the Company absorbed approximately
50%
of GRAIL’s losses based upon its proportional ownership of GRAIL’s common stock.
In accordance with GRAIL’s Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may be required to redeem certain vested stock awards in cash at the then approximate fair market value. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is considered a Level 3 instrument. Such redemption right is exercisable at the option of the holder of the awards after February 28, 2021, provided that an initial public offering of GRAIL has not been completed. As the redemption provision is outside of the control of the Company, the redeemable noncontrolling interests in GRAIL are classified outside of stockholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value after receiving its allocation of GRAIL’s profits and losses or its estimated redemption value at each reporting date.
The assets and liabilities of GRAIL, other than cash and cash equivalents are not significant to the Company’s financial position as of
January 1, 2017
. Additionally, GRAIL has an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the year ended
January 1, 2017
.
Helix Holdings I, LLC
In July 2015, the Company obtained a
50%
voting equity ownership interest in Helix Holdings I, LLC (Helix), a limited liability company formed with unrelated third party investors to pursue the development and commercialization of a marketplace for consumer genomics. The Company determined that Helix is a variable interest entity as the holders of the at-risk equity investments as a group lack the power to direct the activities of Helix that most significantly impact Helix’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company determined that it has (a) unilateral power over one of the activities that most significantly impacts the economic performance of Helix through its contractual arrangements and no one individual party has unilateral power over the remaining significant activities of Helix and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of and the right to receive benefits from Helix that are potentially significant to Helix. As a result, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Helix and is required to consolidate Helix.
As contractually committed, the Company contributed certain perpetual licenses, instruments, intangibles, initial laboratory setup, and discounted supply terms in exchange for voting equity interests in Helix. Such contributions are recorded at their historical basis as they remain within the control of the Company. Helix is financed through cash contributions made by the third party investors in exchange for voting equity interests in Helix.
Certain noncontrolling Helix investors may require the Company to redeem all noncontrolling interests in cash at the then approximate fair market value. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is considered a Level 3 instrument. Such redemption right is exercisable at the option of certain noncontrolling interest holders after January 1, 2021, provided that a bona fide pursuit of the sale of Helix has occurred and an initial public offering of Helix has not been completed.
As the contingent redemption is outside of the control of Illumina, the redeemable noncontrolling interests in Helix are classified outside of stockholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value after receiving its allocation of Helix’s profits and losses or its estimated redemption value at each reporting date. As of
January 1, 2017
, the noncontrolling shareholders and Illumina each held
50%
of Helix’s outstanding voting equity interests.
The assets and liabilities of Helix are not significant to the Company’s financial position as of
January 1, 2017
. Helix has an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the fiscal year ended
January 1, 2017
.
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company holds available-for-sale securities that consist of highly liquid, investment grade debt securities. The Company considers information provided by the Company’s investment accounting and reporting service provider in the measurement of fair value of its debt securities. The investment service provider provides valuation information from an industry-recognized valuation service. Such valuations may be based on trade prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) or valuation models using inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs), such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, yield curve, volatility factors, credit spreads, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments or debt, broker and dealer quotes, as well as other relevant economic measures. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist primarily of investments in life insurance contracts carried at cash surrender value, which reflects the net asset value of the underlying publicly traded mutual funds. The Company performs control procedures to corroborate the fair value of its holdings, including comparing valuations obtained from its investment service provider to valuations reported by the Company’s asset custodians, validation of pricing sources and models, and review of key model inputs if necessary.
As a result of an acquisition completed in January 2016, the Company recorded
$5.3 million
in contingent consideration liabilities, the majority of which was payable within 12 months after the acquisition date. The Company reassesses the fair value of any contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis using the income approach. Assumptions used to estimate the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration include discount rates ranging from
4%
to
6%
and the probability
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
of achieving certain milestones. This fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Significant assumptions used in the measurement include probabilities of achieving the remaining milestones and the discount rates, which depend on the milestone risk profiles. The changes in fair value of the contingent considerations during the years ended
January 1, 2017
,
January 3, 2016
, and
December 28, 2014
were due to changes in the estimated payments and discounting periods.

Convertible Senior Notes
As of
January 1, 2017
, the Company had outstanding
$632.5 million
in principal amount of
0%
convertible senior notes due June 15, 2019, and
$517.5 million
in principal amount of
0.5%
convertible senior notes due June 15, 2021.
0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 and 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021
In June 2014, the Company issued
$632.5 million
aggregate principal amount of
0%
convertible senior notes due 2019 (2019 Notes) and
$517.5 million
aggregate principal amount of
0.5%
convertible senior notes due 2021 (2021 Notes) in an offering conducted in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued at
100%
of par value. The net proceeds from the issuance, after deducting the offering expenses payable by the Company, was
$1,132.4 million
. The Company used the net proceeds plus cash on hand to repurchase a portion of the outstanding 2016 Notes in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the issuance of the 2019 and 2021 Notes.
Both the 2019 and 2021 Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election, based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 3.9318 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $254.34 per share), only in the following circumstances and to the following extent: (1) during the five business-day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per 2019 and 2021 Note for each day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such day; (2) during any calendar quarter (and only during that quarter) after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2014, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (3) upon the occurrence of specified events described in the indenture for the 2019 and 2021 Notes; and (4) at any time on or
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
after March 15, 2019 for the 2019 Notes, or March 15, 2021 for the 2021 Notes, through the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
As noted in the indentures for the 2019 and 2021 Notes, it is the Company's intent and policy to settle conversions through combination settlement, which essentially involves repayment of an amount of cash equal to the “principal portion” and delivery of the “share amount” in excess of the conversion value over the principal portion in shares of common stock. In general, for each
$1,000
in principal the “principal portion” of cash upon settlement is defined as the lesser of
$1,000
and the conversion value during the
20
-day observation period. The conversion value is the sum of the daily conversion value which is the product of the effective conversion rate divided by
20
days and the daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's common stock. The “share amount” is the cumulative “daily share amount” during the observation period, which is calculated by dividing the daily VWAP into the difference between the daily conversion value (i.e., conversion rate x daily VWAP) and
$1,000
.
The 2019 Notes carry no coupon interest. The Company pays
0.5%
interest per annum on the principal amount of the 2021 Notes, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2014. The 2019 and 2021 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2021, respectively. If a designated event, as defined in the indentures for the 2019 and 2021 Notes, such as acquisition, merger, or liquidation, occurs prior to the maturity date, subject to certain limitations, holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to
100%
of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The Company accounts separately for the liability and equity components of the 2019 and 2021 Notes in accordance with authoritative guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. The guidance requires the carrying amount of the liability component to be estimated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated conversion feature. Because the Company has no outstanding non-convertible public debt, the Company determined that market-traded senior, unsecured corporate bonds represent a similar liability to the convertible senior notes without the conversion option. Based on market data available for publicly traded, senior, unsecured corporate bonds issued by companies in the same industry as the Company, and with similar maturities to the 2019 and 2021 Notes, the Company estimated the implied interest rates of its 2019 and 2021 Notes to be
2.9%
and
3.5%
, respectively, assuming no conversion option. Assumptions used in the estimate represent what market participants would use in pricing the liability component, including market interest rates, credit standing, and yield curves, all of which are defined as Level 2 observable inputs. The estimated implied interest rates were applied to the 2019 and 2021 Notes, which resulted in a fair value of the liability component in aggregate of
$971.5 million
upon issuance, calculated as the present value of implied future payments based on the
$1,150.0 million
aggregate principal amount. The
$161.2 million
difference between the cash proceeds of
$1,132.7 million
and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recorded in additional paid-in capital as the 2019 and 2021 Notes are not considered redeemable.
As a policy election under applicable guidance related to the calculation of diluted net income per share, the Company elected the combination settlement method as its stated settlement policy and applied the treasury stock method in the calculation of the potential dilutive impact of the 2019 and 2021 Notes. Neither the 2019 nor the 2021 Notes were convertible as of
January 1, 2017
, and had no dilutive impact during the year ended
January 1, 2017
. If the 2019 and 2021 Notes were converted as of
January 1, 2017
, the if-converted value would not exceed the principal amount.
0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016
In 2011, the Company issued
$920.0 million
aggregate principal amount of
0.25%
convertible senior notes due 2016 (2016 Notes) with a maturity date of March 15, 2016. The effective rate of the liability component was estimated to be
4.5%
. Based upon meeting the stock trading price conversion requirement during the three months ended March 30, 2014, the 2016 Notes became convertible on April 1, 2014 through, and including,
March 11, 2016
. All notes were converted by March 11, 2016.
In conjunction with the issuance of the 2019 and 2021 Notes, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance plus cash on hand to repurchase
$600.0 million
in principal amount of the outstanding 2016 Notes in privately negotiated transactions. The aggregate cash used for the repurchase was
$1,244.7 million
. The repurchase is accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Extinguishment accounting requires the purchase price to be allocated to the liability and equity components of the repurchased notes based on the fair value of the liability component, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the liability component to be recognized as loss on extinguishment of debt. An interest rate of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
1.2%
upon settlement, which was estimated using Level 2 inputs, was applied to measure the fair value of the liability component of the extinguished debt. This calculation resulted in
$588.8 million
allocated to the debt component and
$655.9 million
allocated to the equity component. The
$31.4 million
difference between the
$588.8 million
fair value of debt component and the carrying value of the repurchased 2016 Notes was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt within other expense, net, during the year ended December 28, 2014. The
$655.9 million
of the repurchase price allocated to the equity component was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
As a result of the conversions of the 2016 Notes during the year ended
January 1, 2017
, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the debt and the carrying value of the notes as of the settlement date. To measure the fair value of the converted notes as of the settlement date, the applicable interest rate was estimated using Level 2 observable inputs and applied to the converted notes using the same methodology as in the issuance date valuation.

Leases
The Company leases office and manufacturing facilities under various non-cancellable lease agreements. Facility leases generally provide for periodic rent increases, and many contain escalation clauses and renewal options. Certain leases require the Company to pay property taxes and routine maintenance. The Company is headquartered in San Diego, California and leases facilities in San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area in California; Madison, Wisconsin; Morrisville, North Carolina; Australia; Brazil; Canada; China; France; Japan; Singapore; the Netherlands; and the United Kingdom.
The Company is deemed to be the owner of several of its leased facilities under construction due to certain indemnification obligations related to the construction. Once the landlord completes the construction of each of the buildings, the Company will evaluate the lease in order to determine whether or not it meets the criteria for “sale-leaseback” treatment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The 2015 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2015 Stock Plan), 2005 Solexa Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 Solexa Equity Plan), and the New Hire Stock and Incentive Plan allow for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock units and awards, and performance stock units. As of
January 1, 2017
, approximately
6.2 million
shares remained available for future grants under the 2015 Stock Plan and the 2005 Solexa Equity Plan. There is no set number of shares reserved for issuance under the New Hire Stock and Incentive Plan.
Restricted Stock
The Company issues restricted stock units (RSU), restricted stock awards (RSA), and performance stock units (PSU). The Company grants RSU and PSU pursuant to the 2015 Stock Plan. RSU are share awards that, upon vesting, will deliver to the holder shares of the Company’s common stock. For grants to new hires prior to July 2011 and for grants to existing employees prior to December 2014, RSU generally vest
15%
on the first anniversary of the grant date,
20%
on the second anniversary of the grant date,
30%
on the third anniversary of the grant date, and
35%
on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. For grants to new hires subsequent to July 2011 and for grants to existing employees subsequent to December 2014, RSU generally vest over a
four
-year period with equal vesting on anniversaries of the grant date. The Company satisfies RSU vesting through the issuance of new shares. The Company issues PSU for which the number of shares issuable at the end of a
three
-year performance period can reach up to
150%
of the shares approved in the award based on the Company’s performance relative to specified earnings per share targets.
The Company also issues RSA that are released based on service related vesting conditions. RSA may be issued from the Company’s treasury stock or granted pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Stock and Incentive Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
A total of
15.5 million
shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under its 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during defined offering periods. The price at which stock is purchased under the ESPP is equal to
85%
of the fair market value of the common stock on the first of the offering period or purchase date, whichever is lower. The initial offering period commenced in July 2000.
Approximately
0.2 million
,
0.2 million
, and
0.3 million
shares were issued under the ESPP during the years ended
January 1, 2017
,
January 3, 2016
, and
December 28, 2014
, respectively. As of
January 1, 2017
and
January 3, 2016
, there were approximately
14.3 million
and
14.5 million
shares available for issuance under the ESPP, respectively.
Warrants
In connection with the offering of the Company’s convertible notes due 2014, the Company sold warrants to purchase
18.3 million
shares of common stock to counterparties to the convertible note hedge transactions. The warrants had an exercise price of
$31.44
per share, and the proceeds from the sale of such warrants were used by the Company to partially offset the cost of the transactions. In July 2013, the Company settled with a hedging counterparty outstanding warrants to purchase approximately
3.0 million
shares of the Company’s common stock for
$125.0 million
in cash. The remaining warrants were exercised in full during the year ended December 28, 2014.
Share Repurchases
On July 28, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program, which supersedes all prior and available repurchase authorizations, to repurchase
$250.0 million
of outstanding common stock. During the years ended
January 1, 2017
,
January 3, 2016
, and
December 28, 2014
, the Company repurchased approximately
1.8 million
shares for
$249.3 million
,
1.7 million
shares for
$274.3 million
, and
1.5 million
shares for
$237.2 million
, respectively. Authorizations to repurchase up to an additional
$100.7 million
of its common stock remained as of
January 1, 2017
.
The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. In connection with these matters, the Company assesses, on a regular basis, the probability and range of possible loss based on the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable results could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal matters to determine the adequacy of the liabilities accrued and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. Each matter presents its own unique circumstances, and prior litigation does not necessarily provide a reliable basis on which to predict the outcome, or range of outcomes, in any individual proceeding. Because of the uncertainties related to the occurrence, amount, and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim, the Company is currently unable to predict their ultimate outcome, and, with respect to any pending litigation or claim where no liability has been accrued, to make a meaningful estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome. In the event that opposing litigants in outstanding litigations or claims ultimately succeed at trial and any subsequent appeals on their claims, any potential loss or charges in excess of any established accruals, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs or becomes probable, and potentially in future periods.
Enzo
On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (Enzo) that settled all claims in the litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement and License Agreement, the Company paid Enzo a one-time payment of
$21.0 million
for release of past damages claimed and a fully paid-up non-exclusive license to U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197. None of the parties made any admission of liability in entering into the Settlement and License Agreement. The Company allocated the
$21.0 million
settlement on a relative fair value basis, resulting in
$11.5 million
capitalized as an intangible asset and a corresponding gain recorded in legal contingencies for the value of the license, which will be amortized over a period of
7 years
on a straight-line basis, and the remaining
$9.5 million
related to past damages claimed. The fair value
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
of the license and past damages was estimated using a discounted cash flow model, and is considered to be a Level 3 measurement.
Syntrix
On November 24, 2010, Syntrix Biosystems, Inc. (Syntrix) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington at Tacoma (Case No. C10-5870-BHS) alleging that the Company willfully infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,951,682 by selling its BeadChip array products, and that the Company misappropriated Syntrix’s trade secrets. On January 30, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on Syntrix’s trade secret claims, and dismissed those claims from the case. On March 14, 2013, a jury reached a verdict in favor of Syntrix, finding that Illumina’s BeadChip kits infringe the Syntrix patent. During trial, the Court dismissed Syntrix’s claim that the alleged infringement was willful. On July 1, 2013, the Court entered a Final Amended Judgment for
$115.1 million
, in accordance with the jury verdict, including supplemental damages and prejudgment interest. In addition, the Court awarded Syntrix an ongoing royalty of
8%
for accused sales from March 15, 2013 until the patent expires on September 16, 2019. On December 3, 2013, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging the Final Amended Judgment. On December 16, 2013, Syntrix cross appealed the Court’s dismissal of its trade secret claims and denial of its willfulness claim. For the year ended December 29, 2013, the Company recorded total charges of
$132.9 million
related to this matter,
$114.6 million
of which was recorded within operating expenses, with the remainder recorded to cost of sales.
On November 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Syntrix and its sole shareholders, John A. Zebala and Amy Zebala, that settled all claims in the litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement and License Agreement, the Company paid Syntrix a one-time payment of
$70.0 million
in exchange for a release of past damages claimed and a fully paid-up exclusive license to U.S. Patent No. 6,951,682. None of the parties made any admission of liability in entering into the Settlement and License Agreement. On November 19, 2014, the Court dismissed the litigation with prejudice and vacated the judgment against the Company. The Company allocated the
$70.0 million
payment on relative fair value basis, resulting in
$29.5 million
capitalized as an intangible asset for the value of the exclusive license, which is amortized over a period of
4.8 years
on a straight-line basis, and the remaining
$40.5 million
to the release of past damages claimed. The fair value of license and past damages was estimated using a discounted cash flow model, and is considered to be a Level 3 measurement.
The settlement of the litigation resulted in a gain of
$109.4 million
, of which
$27.3 million
was recorded as reversal of cost of sales, reflecting a true-up of historical royalty expenses to the effective royalty rate. The remaining gain of
$82.1 million
was recorded as a legal contingency gain in operating expenses.
Sequenom
On December 2, 2014, the Company and its subsidiary Verinata Health, Inc. entered into a series of agreements with Sequenom, Inc. (Sequenom), its subsidiary Sequenom Center for Molecular Medicine LLC (Sequenom LLC), and Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), and an agreement with the Trustees of Leland Stanford University (Stanford), that, together, (1) settled a patent litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the District Court) between Verinata and Stanford, on the one hand, and Sequenom, Sequenom LLC, and Isis Innovation Limited (Isis), on the other hand, (2) requested remand of certain claims and counterclaims of Sequenom, Isis, Verinata, and Stanford from the appeal pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of a second patent litigation pending in District Court in order to seek to vacate an order related to those claims and dismiss them, and (3) settled an inter partes review related to a United States Patent No. 8,195,415, assigned to Stanford and licensed to Verinata.
As part of the settlement, the Company and Sequenom have entered into a Pooled Patents Agreement and related sublicense agreements whereby (1) Sequenom granted Illumina a worldwide license to patents directed to Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) for Laboratory Developed Testing (LDT) and In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) products, which license is exclusive in the LDT field, except with respect to certain patents formerly owned by Isis, in which case it is non-exclusive, and (2) Illumina (and Verinata in some cases) granted a worldwide non-exclusive license to Sequenom under Illumina-owned and in-licensed NIPT-related patents for Sequenom to continue its business related to NIPT LDT (the patents owned or in-licensed by either the Company or Sequenom that fall under the Pooled Patents Agreement are the “Pooled Patents”). The Company also assumed, by novation, amended exclusive patent licenses from CUHK to Sequenom and entered into several new exclusive in-license agreements with CUHK related to CUHK patents directed to NIPT, and granted to Sequenom non-exclusive sublicenses under the Company’s license agreements with CUHK, Stanford, and General Hospital Corporation for Sequenom to practice NIPT LDT. The Company and Sequenom also extended, amended, and restated their current supply agreement under
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
which Sequenom purchases from the Company equipment and supplies for NIPT LDT and other clinical fields, and entered into a separate agreement whereby Sequenom transferred to the Company certain clinical samples and data useful in the development of NIPT IVD.
As consideration for the foregoing settlement arrangements, the Company agreed to pay Sequenom an aggregate of
$50.0 million
, as well as to pay royalties to Sequenom for sales of NIPT IVD products. The Company and Sequenom also agreed to share revenues received for exploitation of the Pooled Patents in NIPT LDT. None of the parties made any admission of liability in entering into these arrangements. The parties filed certain stipulated motions with the Federal Circuit and District Court to vacate and dismiss the associated claims and counterclaims with prejudice, which motions have been granted by the respective courts.
The Company considered whether the elements received represented identifiable benefits that were sufficiently separable from the products it sells to Sequenom, and considered whether the value of these benefits could be reasonably estimated. The Company identified the legal settlement, clinical samples, the IVD and LDT patent rights as elements. The Company used a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the value of the patent rights, replacement cost to value the samples, and an assumed royalty rate on historical sales for the legal settlement. These fair value estimates are considered Level 3 measurements. The Company determined that the aggregate fair value of the benefits received exceeded the consideration paid and allocated the
$50.0 million
payment to the various elements on a relative fair value basis. This resulted in
$48.8 million
allocated to the samples and patent rights transferred to Illumina, which were expensed in research and development expenses due to lack of alternative future use. The remaining
$1.2 million
was recorded as a legal contingency charge in operating expenses.

The impact of foreign operations primarily represents the difference between the actual provision for income taxes for our legal entities that operate primarily in jurisdictions that have statutory tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of
35%
. The most significant tax benefits from foreign operations were from the Company’s earnings in Singapore and the United Kingdom, which had statutory tax rates of
17%
and
20%
, respectively, in the year ended
January 1, 2017
. The impact of foreign operations also includes the U.S. foreign tax credit impact of non-U.S. earnings and uncertain tax positions related to foreign items.

A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not the future realization of all or some of the deferred tax assets will not be achieved. The evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance is performed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, and includes a review of all available positive and negative evidence. Based on the available evidence as of
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
January 1, 2017
, the Company was not able to conclude it is more likely than not certain deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of
$18.1 million
against certain deferred tax assets.
As of
January 1, 2017
, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of
$14.4 million
and
$284.0 million
, respectively, which will begin to expire in
2019
and
2017
, respectively, unless utilized prior. The Company also had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of
$44.5 million
and
$90.9 million
, respectively, which will begin to expire in
2025
and
2019
, respectively, unless utilized prior.
Pursuant to Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, utilization of the Company’s net operating losses and credits may be subject to annual limitations in the event of any significant future changes in its ownership structure. These annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits prior to utilization. The deferred tax assets as of
January 1, 2017
are net of any previous limitations due to Section 382 and 383.
The Company recognizes excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation to stockholders’ equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to share-based compensation have been realized, the Company follows the with-and-without approach excluding any indirect effects of the excess tax deductions. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax benefits available to the Company. During the year ended
January 1, 2017
, the Company realized
$86.9 million
of such excess tax benefits, and accordingly recorded a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. As of
January 1, 2017
, the Company had
$46.4 million
of unrealized excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. Per ASU 2016-09, these tax benefits will be accounted for as a credit to retained earnings when this ASU becomes effective in the first quarter of 2017.
The Company’s manufacturing operations in Singapore operate under various tax holidays and incentives that begin to expire in 2018. For the year ended
January 1, 2017
, these tax holidays and incentives resulted in a
$32.1 million
decrease to the provision for income taxes and an increase in diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders of
$0.22
.
It is the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest all current and future foreign earnings in order to ensure sufficient working capital to support and expand existing operations outside the United States. Accordingly, residual U.S. income taxes have not been provided on
$849.2 million
of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of
January 1, 2017
. In the event the Company was required to repatriate funds from outside of the United States, such repatriation would be subject to local laws, customs, and tax consequences. It is not practicable for the Company to determine the total amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.
The following table summarizes the gross amount of the Company’s uncertain tax positions (in thousands):

and
$47.1 million
, respectively, of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods.
Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are reflected in the provision for income taxes. The Company recognized expense of
$0.8 million

$0.2 million
, and expense of
$0.7 million
during the years ended
January 1, 2017

and
January 3, 2016
, respectively.
Tax years

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could change significantly over the next 12 months. However, at this time, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits cannot be determined given the number of matters and the number of years that are potentially subject to examination.

Employee Benefit Plans
|
Retirement Plan
The Company has a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all of its employees in the United States. Company contributions to the plan are discretionary. During the years ended
January 1, 2017
,
January 3, 2016
, and
December 28, 2014
, the Company made matching contributions of
$14.3 million
,
$11.5 million
, and
$9.5 million
, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company adopted the Illumina, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) that became effective January 1, 2008. The Company’s senior level employees can contribute up to
80%
of their base salary and
100%
of their variable cash compensation. Members of the board of directors can contribute up to
100%
of their director fees and equity awards. The Company has agreed to credit the participants’ contributions with earnings that reflect the performance of certain independent investment funds. On a discretionary basis, the Company may also make employer contributions to participant accounts in any amount determined by the Company. The vesting schedules of employer contributions are at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. However, all employer contributions shall become
100%
vested upon the occurrence of the participant’s disability, death or retirement or a change in control of the Company. The benefits under this plan are unsecured. Participants are generally eligible to receive payment of their vested benefit at the end of their elected deferral period or after termination of their employment with the Company for any reason or at a later date to comply with the restrictions of Section 409A.
In January 2008, the Company also established a rabbi trust for the benefit of the participants under the Plan. In accordance with authoritative guidance related to consolidation of variable interest entities and accounting for deferred compensation arrangements where amounts earned are held in a rabbi trust and invested, the Company has included the assets of the rabbi trust in its consolidated balance sheet since the trust’s inception. As of
January 1, 2017
and
January 3, 2016
, the assets of the trust were
$30.9 million
and
$26.2 million
, respectively, and liabilities of the Company were
$29.2 million
and
$24.9 million
, respectively. The assets and liabilities are classified as other assets and accrued liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the values of the assets held by the rabbi trust are recorded in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income, and changes in the values of the deferred compensation liabilities are recorded in cost of revenue or operating expenses.

Segment Information, Geographic Data, and Significant Customers
|
The Company has two reportable segments: Core Illumina and one segment related to the combined activities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, GRAIL and Helix. The Company reports segment information based on the management approach. This approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenues and income (losses) from operations. Based on the information used by the CODM, the Company has determined its reportable segments as follows:
Core Illumina
:
Core Illumina’s products and services serve customers in the research, clinical and applied markets, and enable the adoption of a variety of genomic solutions. Core Illumina includes all operations of the Company, excluding the results of its two consolidated VIEs.
Consolidated VIEs:
GRAIL
:
GRAIL was created to develop a blood test for early-stage cancer detection. GRAIL is currently in the early stages of developing this test and as such, has no revenues to date.
ILLUMINA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Helix
:
Helix was established to enable individuals to explore their genetic information by providing affordable sequencing and database services for consumers through third party partners, driving the creation of an ecosystem of consumer applications. The Company has no revenues to date.
Management evaluates the performance of the Company’s operating segments based upon income (loss) from operations. The Company does not allocate expenses between segments. Core Illumina sells products and provides services to GRAIL and Helix in accordance with contractual agreements between the entities.
