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 2014 the Company is projecting approximately 15% to 17% revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share of $2.00 to $2.06. These projections assume full year non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 70.0%, a pro forma tax rate of approximately 29.5% and stock compensation expense of approximately $128 million. Full-year weighted average diluted shares outstanding, for the measurement of pro forma amounts, is expected to be approximately 148 million shares assuming a stock price of $114.

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 related to stock compensation expense, legal contingencies, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense associated with the Company’s convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, impairment charges, costs related to the unsolicited tender offer for the Company’s stock, acquisition related expense, and others that are listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release. Per share amounts also include the double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the Company’s 0.625% convertible senior notes outstanding and the corresponding call option overlay. Management believes that presentation of operating results that excludes these items and per share double dilution 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.

(a) 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) Pro forma impact of weighted average shares includes the impact of double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt and the corresponding call option overlay.

(b) Cost-method investment related gain, net in 2013 primarily consisted of a $55.2 million gain from the sale of our minority interest in Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. during Q4. Cost-method investment related gain, net in 2012 consisted of a $48.6 million gain from the sale of our minority interest in deCODE Genetics offset by a $2.7 million impairment of another cost-method investment.

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

(d) Legal contingencies during fiscal year 2013 primarily represented charges recorded based on a judgment associated with the patent litigation brought by Syntrix Biosystems, Inc., or Syntrix. Illumina continues to believe that Syntrix’s claims are without merit and are not supported by the law or facts. Accordingly, on December 3, 2013, Illumina filed an appeal to the court challenging the judgment.

(e) Acquisition related (gain) expense, net during fiscal year 2013 consisted primarily of $18.8 million in net gains from changes in fair value of contingent consideration, of which $7.8 million was recorded in Q4. Such gains were partially offset by transaction and other acquisition related costs of $7.2 million, of which $2.0 million was recorded in Q4. Acquisition related (gain) expense, net in fiscal year 2012 consisted of $2.0 million in net loss from changes in fair value of contingent consideration, of which $0.3 million was recorded in Q4, and $0.8 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition of BlueGnome Ltd. in Q3.

(f) Contingent compensation expense relates to contingent payments for post-combination services associated with acquisitions.

(g) Headquarter relocation during fiscal year 2013 and 2012 primarily consisted of additional cease-use loss recorded due to a delay in the sublease of our prior headquarters and accretion of interest expense recorded on lease exit liability during each year. Headquarter relocation in fiscal year 2013 was partially offset by a gain on lease exit liability recorded in Q2 2013 as a result of the Company entering into a sublease for a portion of its prior headquarters at a more favorable rate than previously estimated.

(h) Impairment charges of $25.2 million were recorded in fiscal year 2013 due to a decision to discontinue a non-core product line. The impairment charge in fiscal year 2012 related to an in-process research and development intangible asset.

(i) Inventory revaluation adjustments of $0.5 million in 2013 and $1.5 million in 2012 represented additional cost of goods sold recognized from inventories revalued upon acquisitions of Verinata Health, Inc. and BlueGnome Ltd., respectively.

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

(k) Non-GAAP net income and net income per share exclude the effect of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Non-GAAP diluted net income and net income per share are key drivers of our 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.
