Positive
  • Q4 2024 revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $1.10 billion
  • Strong cash flow with $1.21 billion from operations and $1.07 billion free cash flow in 2024
  • Projected 10% non-GAAP EPS growth for 2025
  • Expected improvement in non-GAAP operating margin to 23% in 2025
Negative
  • Full-year 2024 revenue declined 2% to $4.33 billion
  • Conservative 2025 revenue guidance with only low single-digit growth expected

Insights

The preliminary Q4 and FY2024 results reveal concerning trends for Illumina. Q4 revenue growth of just 1% and a full-year revenue decline of 2% indicate significant market headwinds. While the $1.10 billion Q4 revenue maintains stability, the annual revenue drop to $4.33 billion suggests market saturation and competitive pressures in the genomic sequencing space.

The margin profile shows mixed signals - GAAP operating margin of 34.2% for 2024 appears strong, but the non-GAAP figure of 21.3% indicates substantial underlying operational challenges. The 2025 outlook of low single-digit growth and 23% non-GAAP operating margin projects only modest improvement.

The $1.07 billion free cash flow generation demonstrates solid operational efficiency, but the conservative 2025 revenue guidance of $4.28-4.4 billion suggests management expects continued market challenges. The projected 10% non-GAAP EPS growth for 2025 will likely come from operational efficiency rather than top-line expansion.

The genomics market dynamics reflected in these results indicate a maturation phase. The minimal growth in Q4 and full-year decline suggest market penetration challenges and potential pricing pressures. The guidance for 2025 implies continued market headwinds, with revenue growth primarily dependent on installed base utilization rather than new system placements.

The disparity between GAAP and non-GAAP margins points to significant extraordinary items affecting the business. A key concern is whether the projected margin improvements for 2025 are sustainable given the modest revenue growth expectations. The market's reaction will likely focus on the tepid growth outlook rather than the solid cash flow metrics.

As previously announced, the company expects to report its full fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 results following the close of market on Thursday, February 6, 2025.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures

The company reports non-GAAP results for diluted earnings per share, net income, gross margin, operating expenses, including research and development expense, selling general and administrative expense, legal contingencies and settlement, and goodwill and intangible impairment, operating income, operating margin, gross profit, other income (expense), tax provision, constant currency revenue growth, and free cash flow (on a consolidated and, as applicable, segment basis) 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 amortization of acquired intangible assets among others that are listed in the reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release, as well as the effects of currency translation. Management has excluded the effects of these items in non-GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance. Non-GAAP net income, diluted earnings per share and operating margin are key components of the financial metrics utilized by the company's board of directors to measure, in part, management's performance and determine significant elements of management's compensation.

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.

The company provides forward-looking guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of items such as acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses from strategic investments, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, potential future asset impairments, restructuring activities, and the ultimate outcome of pending litigation without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, inherently difficult to predict, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Use of forward-looking statements

Among the important factors to which our business is subject that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are: (i) changes in the rate of growth in the markets we serve; (ii) the volume, timing and mix of customer orders among our products and services; (iii) our ability to adjust our operating expenses to align with our revenue expectations; (iv) our ability to manufacture robust instrumentation and consumables; (v) the success of products and services competitive with our own; (vi) challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, and launching new products and services, including expanding or modifying manufacturing operations and reliance on third-party suppliers for critical components; (vii) the impact of recently launched or pre-announced products and services on existing products and services; (viii) our ability to modify our business strategies to accomplish our desired operational goals; (ix) our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from prior or future actions to streamline and improve our R&D processes, reduce our operating expenses and maximize our revenue growth; (x) our ability to further develop and commercialize our instruments, consumables, and products; (xi) to deploy new products, services, and applications, and to expand the markets for our technology platforms; (xii) the risks and costs associated with the divestment of GRAIL; (xiii) the risk of additional litigation arising against us in connection with the GRAIL acquisition; (xiv) our ability to obtain approval by third-party payors to reimburse patients for our products; (xv) our ability to obtain regulatory clearance for our products from government agencies; (xvi) our ability to successfully partner with other companies and organizations to develop new products, expand markets, and grow our business; (xvii) uncertainty, or adverse economic and business conditions, including as a result of slowing or uncertain economic growth or armed conflict; (xviii) the application of generally accepted accounting principles, which are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments and (xix) legislative, regulatory and economic developments, 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.

(a)

Constant currency revenue growth, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using comparative prior period foreign exchange rates to translate current period revenue, net of the effects of hedges.

(b)

Non-GAAP operating margin and diluted earnings per share exclude the effects of the pro forma adjustments detailed above. Non-GAAP operating margin and diluted earnings per share are key components of the financial metrics utilized by the company's board of directors to measure, in part, management's performance and determine significant elements of management's compensation. Management has excluded the effects of these items to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance.

(c)

Amounts consist primarily of legal and other expenses related to the acquisition and divestiture of GRAIL.

(d)

Amounts consist primarily of lease and other asset impairments and employee severance costs.

(e)

Amounts consist primarily of fair value adjustments for our contingent consideration liability related to GRAIL.

(f)

Amounts consist of an IPR&D intangible asset impairment recognized in Q1 2024.

(g)

Amounts for FY2024 primarily consist of the reversal of the accrued EC fine, including accrued interest.

(h)

Amounts consist primarily of mark-to-market adjustments and impairments from strategic investments.

(i)

Amounts represent the aggregate of (1) the impact of GRAIL pre-acquisition net operating losses on GILTI, the utilization of US foreign tax credits, and the Pillar Two global minimum top-up tax, which became effective in Q1 2024, (2) the difference between book and tax accounting related to stock-based compensation cost, and (3) the tax impact related to the non-GAAP adjustments listed.

(j)

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. Our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
