Insights

Reviewing Illumina's recent financial results, we see a mixed bag of performance. Core Illumina's revenue decreased slightly by 2% on both reported and constant currency basis, indicating that the revenue decline isn't solely due to currency fluctuations but reflects a broader issue in sales. The GAAP operating margin has contracted to 11.0% which could be a signal of increased operating costs or lower relative sales prices. However, a counterpoint is found in the non-GAAP operating margin of 20.6% for Q1 2024, a slight improvement year-over-year, suggesting effective cost management and operational efficiency when excluding one-time charges, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items.

Investors may find solace in the company's flat revenue guidance for fiscal year 2024, indicating stability despite a challenging Q1. The divestiture of GRAIL is a noteworthy point, particularly with the European Commission's approval. The capital infusion of approximately <$1> billion in funding for GRAIL, if a capital markets transaction is pursued, would be a significant outlay and investors should monitor how this affects Illumina's liquidity and financial leverage.

Furthermore, the improvement in free cash flow is a positive signal, showing better operational cash management and possibly lower capital expenditure requirements. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per share showed a modest increase from <$0.08> to <$0.09>, indicating some resilience in profitability amidst top-line pressure.

In the context of the broader biotech and medical technology sectors, Illumina's Q1 2024 performance reflects the industry's larger trend of economic headwinds impacting sales. However, the company is sustaining demand for its sequencing platforms, evidenced by the use of the NovaSeq X. This is indicative of the vital role genomics plays in health care and research, where funding streams may be more resilient.

The gross margin increase, driven by a favorable mix of sequencing consumables, implies that Illumina's core product offerings remain strong and are benefiting from operational enhancements. The R&D expense remaining relatively consistent year-over-year underlines Illumina's commitment to innovation, important for long-term competitiveness in the technology-intensive genomics field.

While the financials are crucial, the strategic moves such as the launch of innovative products like XLEAP-SBS chemistry and Illumina Complete Long Reads (ICLR) show a forward-thinking approach that could lead to future revenue streams and market share consolidation.

In evaluating Illumina from an investment standpoint in the healthcare sector, the divestiture of GRAIL is significant. The green light from the European Commission and the potential capital markets transaction are steps forward in resolving the uncertainty surrounding GRAIL. For investors, the completion of this divestiture will be key to assessing future financial projections and potential impacts on Illumina's stock performance.

It's also important to recognize the increased gross margin, which suggests an ongoing ability to control costs or achieve a richer product mix. However, investors will need to balance this with the overarching decrease in revenue and the possibility that divestment-related activities could monopolize management's attention and resources in the short term.

  • Core Illumina revenue of $1.06 billion for Q1 2024, down 2% from Q1 2023 (down 2% on a constant currency basis)
  • Core Illumina GAAP operating margin of 11.0% and non-GAAP operating margin of 20.6% for Q1 2024
  • Reiterating fiscal year 2024 Core Illumina revenue guidance that is approximately flat compared to 2023 and a Core Illumina non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal year 2024 of approximately 20%
  • Consolidated revenue of $1.08 billion for Q1 2024, down 1% from Q1 2023 (down 1% on a constant currency basis)
  • GAAP diluted loss per share of ($0.79) for Q1 2024, compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for Q1 2023
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.09 for Q1 2024, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.08 in Q1 2023
  • Illumina remains on track to divest GRAIL through either a sale or a capital markets transaction, with the goal of finalizing the terms of divestiture by the end of Q2 2024. In April, Illumina received approval of its divestment plan from the European Commission. In the instance of a capital markets transaction, the divestment plan requires Illumina to provide GRAIL with approximately $1 billion in funding

(c) The year-over-year increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a more favorable mix of sequencing consumables and execution of our operational excellence priorities that delivered cost savings, including freight and improved productivity. This was partially offset by certain strategic partnership revenue that is lower margin and increased warranty and field service costs.

Financial outlook and guidance
For fiscal year 2024, the company continues to expect Core Illumina revenue to be approximately flat compared to fiscal year 2023 and Core Illumina non-GAAP operating margin to be approximately 20%. While Illumina continues to move as quickly as possible to resolve GRAIL, the company is focusing its financial outlook on Core Illumina, as the specific timing and impact of the GRAIL divestment remains uncertain.

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 financial impact of items such as acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses from our strategic investments, fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration and contingent value rights, 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.

Conference call information
The conference call will begin at 2 p.m. Pacific Time (5 p.m. Eastern Time) on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Interested parties may access the live teleconference through the Investor Info section of Illumina's website at investor.illumina.com. Alternatively, individuals can access the call by dialing 866.400.0049 or +1.323.701.0225 outside North America, both using conference ID 9170634. To ensure timely connection, please dial in at least ten minutes before the scheduled start of the call.

A replay of the conference call will be posted on Illumina's website after the event and will be available for at least 30 days following.

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, and from time to time, as applicable, legal contingencies and settlement, and goodwill and intangible impairment, operating income (loss), operating margin, gross profit (loss), other income (expense), tax provision, constant currency revenue growth, and free cash flow (on a consolidated and, as applicable, segment basis for our Core Illumina and GRAIL segments) 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 itemized reconciliations between 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, including in the non-GAAP measures related to our Core Illumina and GRAIL segments. Additionally, 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.
