Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 12, 2015, Illumina, Inc. (the “Company”) presented at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, California. The presentation was webcast on the Company’s website, and it will remain available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website for 90 days. During this presentation, the Company announced total revenue of $512 million for the fourth quarter ended December 28, 2014 and non-GAAP earnings per share slightly above the top end of the guidance range, which are preliminary results subject to audit by our independent registered public accounting firm. Full quarterly results will be announced during the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2014 earnings call. The Company also announced a fiscal year 2015 outlook of approximately 20% revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $3.12 to $3.18. These projections assume full year non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 73%, and a pro forma tax rate of approximately 28%. Full-year weighted average diluted shares outstanding, for the measurement of pro forma amounts, is expected to be approximately 150 million shares. See table titled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance” below for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.
