Illumina Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2015

San Diego -- (BUSINESS WIRE) - October 20, 2015 - Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Third quarter 2015 results:
Revenue of $550 million, a 14% increase compared to $481 million in the third quarter of 2014, and an increase of 18% on a constant currency basis
GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders for the quarter of $118 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $93 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders for the quarter of $120 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $114 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014 (see the table entitled “Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to Illumina Stockholders” for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures)
Cash flow from operations of $181 million and free cash flow of $152 million for the quarter

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2015 was 70.4% compared to 69.5% in the prior year period. Excluding the effect of non-cash stock compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and legal contingencies, non-GAAP gross margin was 73.2% for the third quarters of 2015 and 2014.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $99.2 million compared to $85.1 million in the prior year period. R&D expenses included $9.1 million and $14.6 million of non-cash stock compensation expense in the third quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding these charges and contingent compensation, R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue were 16.4% compared to 14.6% in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $136.6 million compared to $119.9 million in the prior year period. SG&A expenses included $20.1 million and $27.2 million of non-cash stock compensation expense in the third quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding these charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and contingent compensation, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were 20.9% compared to 19.0% in the prior year period.

During the quarter, the company recorded a GAAP tax benefit of $24.8 million, or $0.17, related to the exclusion of stock compensation from prior period cost-sharing charges as a result of a recent tax court ruling in which an unrelated third party was successful in challenging such charges. This benefit is reflected in the GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders.




Depreciation and amortization expenses were $32.9 million and capital expenditures were $29.5 million during the third quarter of 2015. The company settled $207.4 million of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016 and repurchased $37.5 million of common stock under the previously announced 10b5-1 share repurchase program. At the close of the quarter the company held $1.44 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $1.34 billion as of December 28, 2014.

“The fundamentals of our business remain strong, despite a 3% miss to revenue expectations,” stated Jay Flatley, CEO.  “Our competitive position and product development pipeline are as robust as ever, which we believe will enable our continued penetration of the enormous market opportunities ahead.”

The company has updated its projections for non-GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders to $3.29 to $3.31 for fiscal 2015 and fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders of $0.78 - $0.80.

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

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

The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the tables of this release.
Use of forward-looking statements
This release contains projections, information about our financial outlook, earnings guidance, and other forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on our expectations as of the date of this release and may differ materially from actual future events or results. Among



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

(a) Net cash provided by operating activities excludes excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation of $121.7 million in the first three quarters of 2015, of which $15.5 million was recorded in Q3, and $102.6 million in the first three quarters of 2014, of which $25.3 million was recorded in Q3. Net cash used in financing activities reflects the excess tax benefit as a corresponding in-flow in the respective periods.

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

(a) Non-GAAP gross profit, included within non-GAAP operating profit, is a key measure of the effectiveness and efficiency of manufacturing processes, product mix and the average selling prices of the Company’s products and services. Non-GAAP operating profit, and non-GAAP other expense, net, exclude the effects of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Management has excluded the effects of these items in these measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future core operating performance.

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

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

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

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