Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 14, 2014, 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 $387 million for the fourth quarter ended December 29, 2013, as a preliminary result. This is based on a preliminary financial analysis and remains subject to audit by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per share to be slightly above the top end of the guidance range provided in the prior period. Full quarterly results will be announced during the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 earnings call. The Company also announced a fiscal year 2014 outlook of approximately 15% to 17% revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $2.00 to $2.06. These projections assume full year non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 70%, 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. See table titled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance” below for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.

(a)
Legal contingencies represent charges to be 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.

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

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

Headquarter relocation represents accretion of interest expense on lease exit liability.
