Illumina, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report toIllumina,” “we,” “us,” the “Company,” and “our” refer to Illumina, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, from which the balance sheet information herein was derived.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

Effective December 30, 2013, the Company reorganized and separated the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and the President, with core market and operational functions centralized and reporting to the President for the primary purpose of achieving scalability in business operations to support the growth in its strategic markets. Corporate functions and the President report to the CEO. As a result, the Company operates under one operating segment and reports under one reportable segment.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to December 31, with quarters of 13 or 14 weeks ending the Sunday closest to March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013 were both 13 weeks.

Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risks in the normal course of business. To manage a portion of the accounting exposure resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value and are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the value of the derivative are recognized in other expense, net, along with an offsetting remeasurement gain or loss on the underlying foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities.

As of March 30, 2014, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts in place to hedge exposures in the euro, Japanese yen, and Australian dollar. As of March 30, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the total notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts in place for foreign currency purchases were approximately $74.7 million and $54.7 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Reserve for Product Warranties

The Company generally provides a one-year warranty on instruments. Additionally, the Company provides a warranty on consumables through the expiration date, which generally ranges from six to twelve months after the manufacture date. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses based on historical experience as well as anticipated product performance. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its warranty reserve and adjusts the warranty accrual, if necessary, based on actual experience and estimated costs to be incurred. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of product revenue.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is generated primarily from the sale of products and services. Product revenue primarily consists of sales of instruments and consumables used in genetic analysis. Service and other revenue primarily consists of revenue generated from genotyping and sequencing services and instrument service contracts.
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product or system is required, revenue is deferred until all the acceptance criteria have been met. All revenue is recorded net of any discounts.

 Revenue from product sales is recognized generally upon transfer of title to the customer, provided that no significant obligations remain and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from instrument service contracts is recognized as the services are rendered, typically evenly over the contract term. Revenue from genotyping and sequencing services is recognized when earned, which is generally at the time the genotyping or sequencing analysis data is made available to the customer or agreed upon milestones are reached.
 
In order to assess whether the price is fixed or determinable, the Company evaluates whether refund rights exist. If there are refund rights or payment terms based on future performance, the Company defers revenue recognition until the price becomes fixed or determinable. The Company assesses collectibility based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with, and the creditworthiness of, the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a payment is not reasonably assured, revenue recognition is deferred until receipt of payment.
 
The Company regularly enters into contracts where revenue is derived from multiple deliverables including products or services. These products or services are generally delivered within a short time frame, approximately three to six months, after the contract execution date. Revenue recognition for contracts with multiple deliverables is based on the individual units of accounting determined to exist in the contract. A delivered item is considered a separate unit of accounting when the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Items are considered to have stand-alone value when they are sold separately by any vendor or when the customer could resell the item on a stand-alone basis. Consideration is allocated at the inception of the contract to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. The relative selling price for each deliverable is determined using vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price or third-party evidence of selling price if VSOE does not exist. If neither VSOE nor third-party evidence exists, the Company uses its best estimate of the selling price for the deliverable.
 
In order to establish VSOE of selling price, the Company must regularly sell the product or service on a standalone basis with a substantial majority priced within a relatively narrow range. VSOE of selling price is usually the midpoint of that range. If there are not a sufficient number of standalone sales and VSOE of selling price cannot be determined, then the Company considers whether third party evidence can be used to establish selling price. Due to the lack of similar products and services sold by other companies within the industry, the Company has rarely established selling price using third-party evidence. If neither VSOE nor third party evidence of selling price exists, the Company determines its best estimate of selling price using average selling prices over a rolling 12-month period coupled with an assessment of current market conditions. If the product or service has no history of sales or if the sales volume is not sufficient, the Company relies upon prices set by the Company’s pricing committee adjusted for applicable discounts. The Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance.
 
In certain markets, the Company sells products and provides services to customers through distributors that specialize in life science products. In most sales through distributors, the product is delivered directly to customers. In cases where the product is delivered to a distributor, revenue recognition is deferred until acceptance is received from the distributor, and/or the end-user, if required by the applicable sales contract. The terms of sales transactions through distributors are consistent with

the terms of direct sales to customers. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy described herein.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable under convertible senior notes, equity awards, and warrants. Convertible senior notes have a dilutive impact when the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price of the respective notes. Potentially dilutive common shares from equity awards and warrants are determined using the average share price for each period under the treasury stock method. In addition, the following amounts are assumed to be used to repurchase shares: proceeds from exercise of equity awards and warrants; the average amount of unrecognized compensation expense for equity awards; and estimated tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the expenses related to equity awards become deductible. In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are identical because the otherwise dilutive potential common shares become anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded.

The following table presents the calculation of weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands):

3. Acquisitions

2013 Acquisitions

On February 21, 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Verinata Health, Inc., a provider of non-invasive tests for the early identification of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. The aggregate purchase price was $396.3 million, including total cash payment of $339.3 million, $56.2 million in fair value of the contingent milestone payments of up to $100.0 million, $0.2 million in fair value of converted stock options attributed to pre-combination services, and $0.5 million in loss realized on settlement of preexisting relationships.

Assumptions used to estimate the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration included discount rates ranging from 6% to 20%, volatility of 50%, risk-free rate of 0.26%, revenue projections, and the probability of achieving regulatory milestones. This fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value.

During 2013, the Company also completed acquisitions of Advanced Liquid Logic Inc., a provider of liquid handling solutions, NextBio, a provider of clinical and genomic informatics tools, and another development-stage company. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded $126.5 million in goodwill. The purchase price allocation for the NextBio acquisition is preliminary and subject to change as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information with respect to the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired becomes available.

2012 Acquisition

On September 19, 2012, the Company announced the acquisition of BlueGnome Ltd., a provider of cytogenetics and in vitro fertilization screening products. Total consideration for the acquisition was $95.5 million, which included $88.0 million in initial cash payments and $7.5 million in fair value of contingent cash consideration of up to $20.0 million based on the achievement of certain revenue based milestones by December 28, 2014.

The Company holds available-for-sale securities that consist of highly liquid, investment grade debt securities. The Company considers information provided by the Company’s investment accounting and reporting service provider in the measurement of fair value of its debt securities. The investment service provider provides valuation information from an industry-recognized valuation service. Such valuations may be based on trade prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) or valuation models using inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs), such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, yield curve, volatility factors, credit spreads, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments or debt, broker and dealer quotes, as well as other relevant economic measures. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist primarily of mutual funds. The Company performs control procedures to corroborate the fair value of its holdings, including comparing valuations obtained from its investment service provider to valuations reported by the Company’s asset custodians, validation of pricing sources and models, and review of key model inputs if necessary.

The Company reassesses the fair value of contingent consideration to be settled in cash related to acquisitions on a quarterly basis using the income approach. This is a Level 3 measurement. Significant assumptions used in the measurement include probabilities of achieving the remaining milestones and the discount rates, which depend on the milestone risk profiles. The changes in the fair value of the contingent considerations during the three months ended March 30, 2014 were due to changes in the estimated payments and a shorter discounting period.

5. Convertible Senior Notes

0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016

In 2011, the Company issued $920.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2016 (2016 Notes). The Company pays 0.25% interest per annum on the principal amount of the 2016 Notes semiannually in arrears in cash on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2016 Notes mature on March 15, 2016. The effective rate of the liability component was estimated to be 4.5%.

The 2016 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 11.9687 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $83.55 per share), only in the following circumstances and to the following extent: (1) during the five business-day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per 2016 Note for each day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such day; (2) during any calendar quarter (and only during that quarter) after the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2011, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (3) upon the occurrence of specified events described in the indenture for the 2016 Notes; and (4) at any time on or after December 15, 2015 through the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. During the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the 2016 Notes were not convertible. Upon meeting the stock trading price conversion requirement during the three months ended March 30, 2014, the 2016 Notes became convertible on April 1, 2014 and continue to be convertible through June 30, 2014.

As noted in the indenture for the 2016 Notes, it is the Company’s intent and policy to settle conversions through combination settlement, which essentially involves repayment of an amount of cash equal to the “principal portion” and delivery of the “share amount” in excess of the conversion value over the principal portion in shares of common stock. As a policy election under applicable guidance related to the calculation of diluted net income per share, the Company elected the combination settlement method as its stated settlement policy and applied the treasury stock method in the calculation of the dilutive impact of the 2016 Notes. The calculation of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 30, 2014 reflects the dilutive impact from the 2016 Notes. If the 2016 Notes were converted as of March 30, 2014, the if-converted value would exceed the principal amount by $817.8 million.

0.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014

In 2007, the Company issued $400.0 million principal amount of 0.625% convertible senior notes due 2014 (2014 Notes) with a maturity date of February 15, 2014. The effective interest rate of the liability component was estimated to be 8.3%.

The 2014 Notes became convertible into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock in various prior periods and became convertible again from April 1, 2012 through, and including, February 12, 2014. All notes were converted by February 12, 2014. In all cases of conversions of the 2014 Notes, the principal amount converted was repaid with cash and the excess of the conversion value over the principal amount was paid in shares of common stock. The equity dilution resulting from the issuance of common stock related to the conversion of the 2014 Notes was offset by repurchase of the same amount of shares under the convertible note hedge transactions, which were automatically exercised in accordance with their terms at the time of each conversion.

Upon conversion, the Company records losses on extinguishment of debt calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the debt and the carrying value of the notes as of the settlement dates. To measure the fair value of the converted notes as of the settlement dates, the applicable interest rates were estimated using Level 2 observable inputs and applied to the converted notes using the same methodology utilized for the issuance date valuation.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The price at which common stock is purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. During the three months ended March 30, 2014, approximately 0.2 million shares were issued under the ESPP. As of March 30, 2014, there were approximately 14.8 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

Warrants

In connection with the offering of the 2014 Notes, the Company sold warrants to purchase 18.3 million shares of common stock to counterparties to the convertible note hedge transactions. The warrants have an exercise price of $31.435 per share, and the proceeds from the sale of such warrants were used by the Company to partially offset the cost of the transactions. In July 2013, the Company settled with a hedging counterparty outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock for $125.0 million in cash. As of March 30, 2014 warrants to purchase 15.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock remained outstanding. All outstanding warrants will be exercised immediately prior to expiration, which occurs in equal installments during the 40 consecutive scheduled trading days beginning on May 16, 2014.

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares for $130.0 million and 0.5 million shares for $25.0 million, respectively.


16

Table of Contents

In April 2012 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized share repurchases for up to $250.0 million via a combination of Rule 10b5-1 and discretionary share repurchase programs. In addition, on January 30, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized up to $250.0 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock on a discretionary basis. Authorizations to repurchase up to an additional $237.5 million of the Company’s common stock remained as of March 30, 2014.

8. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the change in the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory rates, benefits related to tax credits, and the tax impact of non-deductible expenses and other permanent differences between income before income taxes and taxable income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2014 was 28.4%. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% was primarily attributable to a higher mix of foreign earnings, such as earnings in Singapore and the United Kingdom, taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, and tax deductions related to stock award activities which were recorded as discrete items in the quarter. In 2013, the variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate was primarily attributable to a higher mix of foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development credit for 2012 which was enacted in January 2013.

In May 2013, the Internal Revenue Service began an audit of the Company’s corporate income tax return filed for fiscal year 2011. The Internal Revenue Service continues to analyze the information provided by the Company and has not yet proposed any adjustments to the filed return.

9. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. In connection with these matters, the Company assesses, on a regular basis, the probability and range of possible loss based on the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable results could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal matters to determine the adequacy of the liabilities accrued and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. Each matter presents its own unique circumstances, and prior litigation does not necessarily provide a reliable basis on which to predict the outcome, or range of outcomes, in any individual proceeding. Because of the uncertainties related to the occurrence, amount, and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim, the Company is currently unable to predict their ultimate outcome, and, with respect to any pending litigation or claim where no liability has been accrued, to make a meaningful estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome. In the event that opposing litigants in outstanding litigations or claims ultimately succeed at trial and any subsequent appeals on their claims, any potential loss or charges in excess of any established accruals, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs or becomes probable, and potentially in future periods.

On November 24, 2010, Syntrix Biosystems, Inc. filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington at Tacoma (Case No. C10-5870-BHS) alleging that the Company willfully infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,951,682 by selling its BeadChip array products, and that the Company misappropriated Syntrix’s trade secrets. On January 30, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on Syntrix’s trade secret claims, and dismissed those claims from the case. On March 14, 2013, a jury reached a verdict in favor of Syntrix, finding that Illumina’s BeadChip kits infringe the Syntrix patent. During trial, the Court dismissed Syntrix’s claim that the alleged infringement was willful. On July 1, 2013, the Court entered a Final Amended Judgment for $115.1 million, in accordance with the jury verdict, including supplemental damages and prejudgment interest. In addition, the Court awarded Syntrix an ongoing royalty of 8% for accused sales from March 15, 2013 until the patent expires on September 16, 2019. The Company believes that it did not infringe the Syntrix patent and that the patent is invalid. Therefore, the Company disagrees with the judgment and contends that the judgment is not supported by the law or facts. Accordingly, on December 3, 2013, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging the Final Amended Judgment. On December 16, 2013, Syntrix cross appealed the Court’s dismissal of its trade secret claims and denial of its willfulness claim.

As a result of the amended judgment, the Company recorded a legal contingency accrual of $138.8 million and $132.9 million as of March 30, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively, including damages and interest awarded to Syntrix. In the three months ended March 30, 2014, the Company recorded a related charge of $5.8 million to cost of product revenue. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded charges of $106.9 million, with $105.9 million charged to

operating expenses and the remainder to cost of product revenue. The judgment amount has been secured by a supersedeas bond, and as of March 30, 2014, $17.8 million was deposited with the Court for the accrued post-judgment ongoing royalty amounts. The Company will continue to deposit with the Court ongoing royalties on future sales at the royalty rate stated in the Final Amended Judgment during the appeal process. Funds deposited with the Court are reported as restricted cash in other long-term assets.

During the last two years, we have taken significant steps to support our goal of becoming a leader in the reproductive health market by acquiring Verinata Health, Inc. (Verinata) in February 2013 and BlueGnome Ltd. (BlueGnome) in 2012. Our acquisition of Verinata further strengthened our focus on reproductive health by adding to our product portfolio Verinata’s verifi® prenatal test, a comprehensive non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) for high-risk pregnancies. Our acquisition of BlueGnome, a leading provider of genetic solutions for the screening of chromosomal abnormalities associated with developmental delay, cancer, and infertility, expanded our ability to establish integrated solutions in reproductive health and cancer.
 
Our financial results have been, and will continue to be, impacted by several significant trends, which are described below. While these trends are important to understanding and evaluating our financial results, this discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Item 1, Part I of this report, and the other transactions, events, and trends discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, Part II of this report and Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013.

Funding Environment
 
While many of our customers receive funding from government agencies to purchase our products or services, we are diversifying our customer base to include customers that do not depend on government funding. In 2013, approximately 45% of our total revenue came from customers who are not directly reliant on government agencies for funding. We estimate that less than 30% of our total revenue in 2013 came from academic or government customers in the United States that, directly or indirectly, derive funding from the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH). NIH funding for the U.S. fiscal year 2014 increased more than 3% compared to the 2013 sequestration budget, and we believe that allocations within the NIH budget will continue to favor genetic analysis tools generally and, in particular, research programs that utilize next-generation sequencing.

Next-Generation Sequencing

Next-generation sequencing has become a core technology for modern life science research and is increasingly being used in the applied, molecular diagnostics, and translational markets. Our sequencing instrument installed base continued to expand in Q1 2014, and we believe that expansion of the sequencing market, including an increase in the number of samples available and enhancements in our product portfolio, will continue to drive demand for our next-generation sequencing technologies. As a result, we believe that our sequencing consumable revenue will continue to grow in future periods.

Our portfolio of sequencing platforms represents a family of systems that are designed to meet the workflow, output, and accuracy demands of a full range of sequencing applications. Our MiSeq sequencing system is a low-cost desktop platform that provides individual researchers with rapid turnaround time, high accuracy, and streamlined workflow. NextSeq 500, launched in January 2014, provides flexibility from whole genome sequencing to targeted panels in a desktop platform. Our HiSeq 2500 sequencing system allows customers to sequence an entire human genome in approximately a day. HiSeq X Ten, announced in January 2014, is a set of ten ultra-high-throughput sequencers built for large-scale human whole-genome sequencing with the ability to generate 1.8 terabases of DNA sequence per sequencer in less than three days.

MicroArrays

As a complement to next-generation sequencing, we believe microarrays offer a less expensive, faster, and highly accurate technology for use when genetic content is already known. The information content of microarrays is fixed and reproducible. As such, microarrays provide repeatable, standardized assays for certain subsets of nucleotide bases within the overall genome. We believe that life science researchers will migrate certain array studies to sequencing; however, we expect this decline to be offset by demand from customers in consumer, reproductive health, and applied markets. Additionally, demand in the array market has trended toward microarrays that have large-sample numbers at a lower complexity, thus having a lower selling price per sample, and we believe our innovation in microarray products supports the lower selling price.

Financial Overview

Financial highlights for Q1 2014 include the following:

Net revenue increased by 27.1% during Q1 2014 to $420.8 million compared to Q1 2013. Our sales increased across our portfolio of sequencing products, including consumables, instruments, and services.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) for Q1 2014 was 66.1% compared to 66.3% in Q1 2013. Gross margin in Q1 2014 decreased due to the negative impact of higher legal contingency charges associated with the Syntrix litigation matter and a lower sales mix of consumables, which have higher gross margins. Such impact was partially offset by higher margins on instrument and service sales. We believe our gross margin in future periods will depend on several factors, including: market conditions that may impact our pricing power; sales mix changes among consumable, instrument, and services; product mix changes between established products and new products in new markets; our cost structure for manufacturing operations; royalties; and our ability to create innovative and high premium products that meet or stimulate customer demand.

Income from operations increased by $137.2 million in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013. Operating expenses in Q1 2013 included a $105.9 million legal contingency charge associated primarily with the Syntrix patent litigation matter. The lack of such expense in Q1 2014 and the increase in gross profit during the current quarter led to the increase in income from operations, despite the increases in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, which we expect to continue to grow.

Our effective tax rate was 28.4% in Q1 2014, as compared to 52.5% in Q1 2013. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% was primarily attributable to a higher mix of foreign earnings, such as earnings in Singapore and the United Kingdom, taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, and tax deductions related to stock award activities which were recorded as discrete items in the quarter. Our future effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates and the other factors discussed in the risk factor “We are subject to risks related to taxation in multiple jurisdictions” in Part I Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013. We anticipate that our effective tax rate will trend lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate in the future due to the portion of our earnings that will be subject to lower statutory tax rates.
 
We ended Q1 2014 with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $1.1 billion.

Table of Contents


Consumables revenue increased $37.6 million, or 18%, to $242.5 million in Q1 2014 compared to $204.9 million in Q1 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to sales of sequencing consumables, driven by higher utilization of our instruments and growth in the instrument installed base.

Instrument revenue increased $27.7 million, or 31%, to $115.8 million in Q1 2014 compared to $88.1 million in Q1 2013, driven primarily by shipments of sequencing instruments, including new platforms introduced during the current quarter.

Service and other revenue increased $23.8 million, or 68%, to $58.6 million in Q1 2014 compared to $34.8 million in Q1 2013. Revenues from businesses acquired in 2013 are predominantly service revenue. Excluding the impact of acquisitions completed in 2013, the increase in service and other revenue was 38%, which was driven by microarray service revenue as well as sequencing instrument service contract revenue as a result of our growing installed base.

Gross profit increased $59 million, or 27%, to $278.3 million in Q1 2014 in comparison to $219.3 million in Q1 2013, primarily due to the increase in revenue. Excluding the gross profit from acquisitions completed in 2013, which was predominantly included in gross profit from service sales, the increase in gross profit was 26%. Gross margin decreased in Q1 2014 in comparison to Q1 2013 due to the negative impact from higher legal contingency charges and a lower sales mix of consumables, which have higher gross margins. Such impact was partially offset by higher margins on instruments and services sales during Q1 2014.

Research and development expense increased by $15.6 million, or 25%, in Q1 2014 from Q1 2013, primarily due to increased headcount as we continue to increase our investment in the development of new products as well as enhancements to existing products.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $24.5 million, or 29%, in Q1 2014 from Q1 2013. The increase is primarily driven by increased headcount and consulting services to support the growth of our Company, as well as increased amortization of intangible assets.

Acquisitions completed in 2013 also contributed to the increases in research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense from Q1 2013 to Q1 2014.

Acquisition related (gain) expense, net, in Q1 2014 primarily consisted of gains from changes in fair value of contingent consideration of $1.8 million. Such gains were partially offset by other acquisition related costs. Acquisition related (gain) expense, net in Q1 2013 consisted of acquisition transaction costs of $3.4 million and net changes in the value of contingent consideration.

We completed the relocation of our headquarters in 2012. During Q1 2014 and Q1 2013, we incurred $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in additional headquarter relocation expense, primarily consisting of accretion expense related to the facility exit obligation recorded upon vacating our former headquarters.

During Q1 2013, we recorded a $105.9 million charge within operating expenses primarily related to the Syntrix litigation matter. The amount recorded in operating expense included the damages and prejudgment interest awarded to Syntrix through March 14, 2013, the day we received the related jury verdict. See additional discussion on this matter in the note “9 Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

During Q1 2013, we recorded $7.5 million of expenses incurred in relation to an unsolicited tender offer in Q1 2012. The expenses consisted primarily of advisory and legal fees. The advisory service arrangements were completed in 2013.

Interest income primarily consists of returns from our investment portfolio. Interest income decreased in Q1 2014 from Q1 2013 as a result of a decrease in our investment portfolio balance as well as the decline in market interest rates. Interest expense in Q1 2013 remained relatively consistent as compared to the same period in Q1 2013 and consisted primarily of accretion of discount on our convertible senior notes.

During Q1 2013, we recognized a $6.1 million gain as a result of the sale of a cost-method investment.

Other income (expense), net, in Q1 2014 and Q1 2013 primarily consisted of net foreign exchange gains and losses.

Our effective tax rate was 28.4% for Q1 2014 compared to 52.5% in Q1 2013. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% in Q1 2014 was primarily attributable to a higher mix of foreign earnings, such as earnings in Singapore and the United Kingdom, taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, and tax deductions related to stock award activities which were recorded as discrete items in the quarter. In Q1 2013 the variance from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% was primarily attributable to the tax treatment of the Syntrix legal contingency, which was recorded as a discrete item during Q1 2013 and is nondeductible for tax purposes until paid.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 30, 2014, we had approximately $518.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, a $193.1 million decrease from last year, due to the factors described in the “Cash Flow Summary” below. Our primary source of liquidity, other than our holdings of cash, cash equivalents and investments, has been cash flows from operations. Our ability to generate cash from operations provides us with the financial flexibility we need to meet operating, investing, and financing needs. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries at March 30, 2014 were approximately $413.2 million. It is our intention to indefinitely reinvest all current and future foreign earnings in foreign subsidiaries.

Historically, we have liquidated our short-term investments and/or issued debt and equity securities to finance our business needs as a supplement to cash provided by operating activities. As of March 30, 2014, we had $573.3 million in short-term investments. Our short-term investments include marketable securities consisting of debt securities in government-sponsored entities, corporate debt securities, and U.S. Treasury notes.

As of March 30, 2014, $920.0 million in principal amount of our convertible senior notes due 2016 (2016 Notes) remained outstanding, with a maturity date of March 15, 2016. The 2016 Notes became convertible on April 1, 2014 and continue to be convertible through June 30, 2014. It is our intent and policy to settle conversions of the 2016 Notes through combination settlement, which essentially involves repayment of an amount of cash equal to the principal amount and delivery of the excess of conversion value over the principal amount in shares of common stock.

We anticipate that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with cash provided by operating activities are sufficient to fund our near term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to change, include:
potential early repayments of debt obligations as a result of conversions;
support of commercialization efforts related to our current and future products, including expansion of our direct sales force and field support resources both in the United States and abroad;
acquisitions of equipment and other fixed assets for use in our current and future manufacturing and research and development facilities;
repurchases of our outstanding common stock;
the continued advancement of research and development efforts;
potential strategic acquisitions and investments;
the expansion needs of our facilities, including costs of leasing additional facilities; and
investment in our global business processes, and the associated Enterprise Resource Planning platform.

As of March 30, 2014, we had $47.7 million in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities associated with prior acquisitions to be settled in future periods.

During Q1 2014, we used $130.0 million to repurchase our outstanding shares under the stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors. As of March 30, 2014, we had authorization to repurchase $237.5 million of our common stock.

We expect that our revenue and the resulting operating income, as well as the status of each of our new product development programs, will significantly impact our cash management decisions.

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including:
our ability to successfully commercialize and further develop our technologies and create innovative products in our markets;
scientific progress in our research and development programs and the magnitude of those programs;
competing technological and market developments; and
the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in Q1 2014 consisted of net income of $60.0 million plus net adjustments of $54.3 million in addition to net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $77.1 million. The primary non-cash expenses added back to net income included deferred income taxes of $33.9 million, share-based compensation of $33.4 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $28.4 million. These non-cash add-backs were partially offset by $50.5 million in incremental tax benefit related to share-based compensation. The main drivers in the change in net operating assets were increases in accounts receivable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities in Q1 2013 consisted of net loss of $22.6 million plus net adjustments of $11.6 million in addition to net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $98.8 million. The primary non-cash expenses added back to net loss included share based compensation of $24.2 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $20.5 million. These non-cash add-backs were partially offset by deferred income taxes of $36.7 million and $5.3 million incremental tax benefit related to share-based compensation. The main driver in the change in net operating assets was an increase in accrued legal contingencies due to a patent litigation. Additionally, inventory, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities increased due to increased business activity.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $144.4 million for Q1 2014. We purchased $253.3 million of available-for-sale securities and $133.1 million of our available-for-sale securities matured or were sold during the period. We also invested $19.0 million in capital expenditures primarily associated with the purchase of manufacturing, research, and development equipment, leasehold improvements, and information technology equipment and systems.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $65.0 million for Q1 2013. We purchased $97.5 million of available-for-sale securities and $389.5 million of our available-for-sale securities matured or were sold during the period. We paid net cash of $345.1 million for acquisitions, and invested $21.4 million for capital expenditures primarily associated with the purchase of manufacturing and servicing equipment, leasehold improvements, and information technology equipment and systems.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $85.9 million for Q1 2014. We used $130.0 million to repurchase our common stock, repaid $29.7 million of our convertible senior notes due 2014, and paid $8.8 million in taxes for net share settlement of equity awards. We received $50.5 million in incremental tax benefit related to share-based compensation and $32.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock through the exercise of stock options and the sale of shares under our employee stock purchase plan.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $13.0 million for Q1 2013. We received $13.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock through the exercise of stock options and warrants and sale of shares under our employee stock purchase plan, and used $25.0 million to repurchase our common stock. In addition, we received $5.3 million in incremental tax benefit related to share-based compensation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in any transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. During Q1 2014, we were not involved in any “off-balance sheet arrangements” within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our net revenue, operating income and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 have the greatest potential impact on our financial

statements, so we consider them to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during Q1 2014.

Consideration Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions, and adequacy of resources. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of these words, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward looking. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the integration of our acquired technologies with our existing technology, the commercial launch of new products, the entry into new business segments or markets, and the duration which our existing cash and other resources is expected to fund our operating activities.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements include the following:

our ability to maintain our revenue levels and profitability during periods of research funding reduction or uncertainty and adverse economic and business conditions, including as a result of slowing or uncertain economic growth in the United States or worldwide;
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;
our ability to manufacture robust instrumentation and consumables;
our ability to successfully identify and integrate acquired technologies, products, or businesses;
our expectations and beliefs regarding future prospects and growth of the business and the markets in which we operate;
the assumptions underlying our critical accounting policies and estimates;
our assessments and estimates that determine our effective tax rate;
our assessments and beliefs regarding the future outcome of pending legal proceedings and the liability, if any, that we may incur as a result of those proceedings; and
other factors detailed in our filings with the SEC, including the risks, uncertainties, and assumptions described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, or in information disclosed in public conference calls, the date and time of which are released beforehand.

The foregoing factors should be considered 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 financial quarter. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There were no substantial changes to our market risks in the three months ended March 30, 2014, when compared to the disclosures in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We design our internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also maintain internal controls and procedures to ensure that we comply with applicable laws and our established financial policies.

Based on management’s evaluation (under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO)), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During Q1 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Q1 2014 and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The evaluation did not identify any such change.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. In connection with these matters, we assesses, on a regular basis, the probability and range of possible loss based on the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable results could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. We regularly review outstanding legal matters to determine the adequacy of the liabilities accrued and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. Each matter presents its own unique circumstances, and prior litigation does not necessarily provide a reliable basis on which to predict the outcome, or range of outcomes, in any individual proceeding. Because of the uncertainties related to the occurrence, amount, and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim, we are currently unable to predict their ultimate outcome, and, with respect to any pending litigation or claim where no liability has been accrued, to make a meaningful estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome. In the event that opposing litigants in outstanding litigations or claims ultimately succeed at trial and any subsequent appeals on their claims, any potential loss or charges in excess of any established accruals, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs or becomes probable, and potentially in future periods.

On November 24, 2010, Syntrix Biosystems, Inc. filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington at Tacoma (Case No. C10-5870-BHS) alleging that we willfully infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,951,682 by selling our BeadChip array products, and that we misappropriated Syntrix’s trade secrets. On January 30, 2013, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment on Syntrix’s trade secret claims, and dismissed those claims from the case. On March 14, 2013, a jury reached a verdict in favor of Syntrix, finding that Illumina’s BeadChip kits infringe the Syntrix patent. During trial, the Court dismissed Syntrix’s claim that the alleged infringement was willful. On July 1, 2013, the Court entered a Final Amended Judgment for $115.1 million, in accordance with the jury verdict, including supplemental damages and prejudgment interest. In addition, the Court awarded Syntrix an ongoing royalty of 8% for accused sales from March 15, 2013 until the patent expires on September 16, 2019. We believe strongly that we did not infringe the Syntrix patent and that the patent is invalid. Therefore, we disagree with the judgment and contend that the judgment is not supported by the law or facts. Accordingly, on December 3, 2013, we filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging the Final Amended Judgment. On December 16, 2013, Syntrix cross-appealed the Court’s dismissal of its trade secret claims and denial of its willfulness claim.

As a result of the amended judgment, we recorded a legal contingency accrual of $138.8 million and $132.9 million as of March 30, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively, including damages and interest awarded to Syntrix. In the three months ended March 30, 2014, we recorded a related charge of $5.8 million to cost of product revenue. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded charges of $106.9 million, with $105.9 million charged to operating expenses and the remainder to cost of product revenue. The judgment amount has been secured by a supersedeas bond, and as of March 30, 2014, $17.8 million was deposited with the Court for the accrued post-judgment ongoing royalty amounts. We will continue to deposit with the Court ongoing royalties on future sales at the royalty rate stated in the Final Amended Judgment during the appeal process. Funds deposited with the Court are reported as restricted cash in other long-term assets.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our business is subject to various risks, including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, which we strongly encourage you to review. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Form 10-K.
