Illumina Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2011

SAN DIEGO, Jul 26, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2011.

Second quarter 2011 results include:

  • Revenue of $287.5 million, a 36% increase over the $212.0 million reported in the second quarter of 2010.
  • GAAP net income of $30.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $29.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. This represents a 4% increase to GAAP earnings per diluted share.
  • Non-GAAP net income of $52.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $34.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010 (see the table entitled "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Net Income"). This represents a 46% increase to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share.

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2011 was 67.3% compared to 68.9% in the prior year period. Excluding the effect of non-cash charges associated with stock compensation and the amortization of acquired intangibles, non-GAAP gross margin was 69.0% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 70.3% in the prior year period.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $50.8 million compared to $43.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. R&D expenses included $8.5 million and $6.0 million of non-cash stock compensation expense in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Excluding these charges and contingent compensation expense, R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue were 14.1% compared to 17.3% in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $69.2 million compared to $53.1 million for the second quarter of 2010. SG&A expenses included $13.3 million and $9.4 million of non-cash stock compensation expense in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. SG&A expenses also included contingent compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding these charges, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were 19.1% compared to 20.6% in the prior year period.

The company generated $71.2 million in cash flow from operations during the second quarter of 2011 compared to $77.2 million in the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $16.5 million and capital expenditures were $16.2 million during the second quarter. The company ended the second quarter with $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments compared to $894.3 million as of January 2, 2011.

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 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 non-cash and other charges related to stock compensation expense, loss on the extinguishment of convertible debt, non-cash interest expense associated with the company's convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, in-process research and development and contingent compensation expense, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, headquarter relocation expense, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, a gain on the acquisition of an investee accounted for using the cost method of accounting prior to acquisition, and acquisition related transaction expenses. 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 charges 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.

Use of forward looking statements

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 are (i) our ability to develop and commercialize further our sequencing, BeadArray(TM), VeraCode(R), Eco(TM), and consumables technologies and to deploy new sequencing, genotyping, gene expression, and diagnostics products and applications for our technology platforms, (ii) our ability to manufacture robust instrumentation and consumables, and (iii) reductions in the funding levels to our primary customers, including as the result of timing and amount of funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, 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.

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

(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) Acquisition related expense (gain), net includes an acquired in-process research and development charge of $5.4 million in Q2 2011 related to a milestone payment for a prior acquisition, offset by a loss of $0.3 million in Q1 2011 and a gain of $0.7 million in Q2 2011 recorded for changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Prior year adjustments include a gain on acquisition of $2.9 million recorded in Q2 2010 for the difference between the carrying value of a cost method investment prior to acquisition and the fair value of that investment at the time of acquisition, an acquired in-process research and development charge of $1.3 million in Q2 2010 and acquisition expense of $0.5 million in Q2 2010.

(d) Contingent compensation expense represents contingent consideration for post-combination services associated with acquisitions.

(e) Headquarter relocation expense in Q2 2011 and the first half of 2011 represents accelerated depreciation expense recorded in anticipation of the exit of our current headquarter facilities. During 2011, we expect to incur additional headquarter relocation expenses, the majority of which are non-cash in nature. These expenses include items such as a cease-use loss upon vacating our current headquarters, accelerated depreciation of certain property and equipment, and double rent expense during the transition to the new facility.

(f) Incremental non-GAAP tax expense reflects the increase to GAAP tax expense related to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above.

(g) Non-GAAP net income per share and net income exclude the effect of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share and net income 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.

(a) Under the terms of a lease agreement executed by the company in Q4 2010, the company's headquarters will move to a new location during the second half of 2011. We expect to incur headquarter relocation expenses, the majority of which are non-cash in nature. These expenses include items such as a cease-use loss upon vacating our current headquarters, accelerated depreciation of certain property and equipment, and double rent expense during the transition to the new facility.
(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 represents contingent consideration for post-combination services associated with acquisitions.
(d) Acquisition related expense, net includes an acquired in-process research and development charge related to a milestone payment for a prior acquisition and net changes in fair value of contingent consideration.
(e) Pro forma impact of weighted average shares represents the estimated impact of double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the company's outstanding convertible debt and the corresponding call option overlay.
