Exhibit 99.1
Illumina Announces Preliminary Revenue for Fourth Quarter 2009
Company Provides Guidance for 2010
SAN DIEGO BusinessWire January 12, 2010 Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced
revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 of approximately $176 million based on managements
preliminary review of quarterly financial results. This compares to fourth quarter revenue guidance
of a minimum of $165 million and implies fiscal year 2009
revenue of approximately $662 million or
annual growth of 15%. It should be noted that this revenue estimate is preliminary and remains
subject to audit by our independent registered accounting firm.
Today the company also offered the following guidance for fiscal year 2010:
Going forward, the company will include non-cash stock compensation charges when it provides
non-GAAP earnings per share guidance and discusses its non-GAAP quarterly and annual earnings per
share results. The company also will no longer provide quarterly financial guidance.
The non-GAAP financial guidance discussed below excludes the incremental interest expense
associated with the companys convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, the
amortization expense related to intangible assets, the accrual of contingent compensation and
in-process research and development related to the Avantome acquisition, and the double dilution
associated with the accounting treatment of the companys outstanding convertible debt and the
corresponding call option overlay.
We expect revenue growth for the full year 2010 of approximately 20% from anticipated 2009 revenue
of $662 million. We expect gross margins in the mid to high 60s and non-GAAP earnings per share
between $0.90 and $1.00. We expect the full year pro forma tax rate to be approximately 33%-34% and
stock compensation expense of approximately $70 million or a tax adjusted amount of $0.36 per fully
diluted pro forma share. We expect full-year weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the
measurement of pro forma amounts to be approximately 132 million.
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 margins, cash flow from operations and free cash flow in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The companys financial results under GAAP include substantial non-cash charges related to interest
expense associated with the companys convertible debt instruments that may be
settled in cash, the amortization of intangible assets, compensation expense related to contingent consideration due to
stockholders of Avantome, Inc., and expense related to in-process research and development. Per
share amounts also include the double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the
companys outstanding convertible debt and the corresponding call option overlay. Management
believes that presentation of operating results that excludes these non-cash charges provides
useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the companys 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 companys 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.
