Insights

The reported revenue increase in Q4 2023 juxtaposed with the year-over-year decline in fiscal year revenue suggests a complex financial landscape for Illumina. The modest Q4 growth could indicate resilience in the company's product offerings, particularly the NovaSeq X instruments, despite broader market constraints. However, the annual revenue dip, albeit flat on a constant currency basis, raises concerns about the company's growth trajectory and potential headwinds in the life sciences sector.

Moreover, the GAAP diluted loss per share widening in Q4 2023 compared to the previous year, coupled with significant goodwill and intangible impairments related to the GRAIL segment, signals potential overvaluation issues in past acquisitions. This is mitigated somewhat by the non-GAAP diluted earnings, which remained stable year-over-year for Q4 and decreased for the fiscal year, implying operational challenges that are somewhat less dire when excluding certain non-recurring costs.

The divestiture of GRAIL is a strategic move likely aimed at streamlining operations and focusing on core competencies. This could be a positive step for Illumina, as it may alleviate some of the financial burden and refocus efforts on more profitable segments. However, the divestiture process's success and its impact on the company's financial health will be critical to monitor.

From a market perspective, Illumina's performance and forecast for flat Core Illumina revenue in fiscal year 2024 suggest a cautious outlook on the company's market position. Given the competitive nature of the genomic sequencing industry, it's imperative to evaluate how Illumina's product pipeline and innovation strategy align with evolving customer needs and market trends. The operating margin projection of approximately 20% indicates a focus on profitability, but it also sets expectations for operational efficiency improvements.

The divestment of GRAIL and the associated goodwill and intangible impairments reflect a reevaluation of strategic investments and could be indicative of broader industry challenges in monetizing advanced genomic technologies. The non-GAAP operating margin for Core Illumina, which excludes these impairments, may provide a clearer picture of the operational health of the company's primary business.

While the financials provide a quantitative measure of Illumina's performance, the legal and regulatory environment also plays a significant role. The divestiture of GRAIL following the European Commission's order suggests a complex legal landscape that Illumina must navigate. The outcome of the European Court of Justice appeal and the potential NHS rollout of Galleri in the UK are external factors that could influence the company's strategic decisions and financial results.

The mention of legal contingency and settlement costs in the financial statements highlights the ongoing legal considerations that can have material financial implications. Companies in the biotechnology and genomic sectors often face significant regulatory scrutiny and Illumina's ability to manage these legal challenges while executing its business strategy will be essential to its success.

  • Revenue of $1.12 billion for Q4 2023, up 4% from Q4 2022 (up 4% on a constant currency basis)
  • Revenue of $4.50 billion for fiscal year 2023, down 2% from fiscal year 2022 (flat on a constant currency basis)
  • Shipped 79 NovaSeq X instruments in Q4 2023 and 352 instruments for fiscal year 2023

  • GAAP diluted loss per share of $(7.34) for fiscal year 2023, which included goodwill and intangible impairments of $821 million related to the GRAIL segment, compared to GAAP diluted loss per share of $(28.00) for fiscal year 2022, which included goodwill impairment of $3.91 billion related to the GRAIL segment
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.86 for fiscal year 2023, compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.12 for fiscal year 2022

  • On December 17, 2023, Illumina announced it will divest GRAIL. The GRAIL divestiture will be executed through a third-party sale or capital markets transaction, consistent with the European Commission's divestiture order, with the goal of finalizing the divestiture terms by the end of the second quarter of this year. The timing of Illumina's progress with the divestment is not affected by external factors, including, but not limited to, the outcome of the European Court of Justice appeal and the potential preliminary NHS rollout of Galleri in the UK

(b) The company recognized $712 million in goodwill and $109 million in intangible asset (IPR&D) impairment related to the GRAIL segment in 2023. The goodwill impairment was primarily due to a decrease in the company's consolidated market capitalization and a higher discount rate selected for the fair value calculation of the GRAIL reporting unit. The IPR&D impairment was primarily due to a decrease in projected cash flows and a higher discount rate selected for the fair value calculation of the GRAIL IPR&D asset. In 2022, the company recognized $3.91 billion in goodwill impairment related to the GRAIL segment.

Capital expenditures for free cash flow purposes were $195 million for fiscal year 2023. Cash flow provided by operations was $478 million, compared to $392 million in the prior year. Free cash flow (cash flow provided by operations less capital expenditures) was $283 million for the year, compared to $106 million in the prior year. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $432 million for fiscal year 2023.

Financial outlook and guidance
For fiscal year 2024, the company expects 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, February 8, 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 877.400.0505 or +1.323.701.0225 outside North America, both using conference ID 1615812. 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 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.

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.

(a) 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. However, our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

All amounts in tables are rounded to the nearest millions, except as otherwise noted. As a result, certain amounts may not recalculate using the rounded amounts provided.


(a) Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share exclude the effects of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Non-GAAP net income 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 in these measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future operating performance.

(b) Refer to the Itemized Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP Results of Operations for the components of these amounts.

(c) Amounts represent the impact of GRAIL pre-acquisition net operating losses on GILTI and the utilization of U.S. foreign tax credits.

(d) Incremental non-GAAP tax expense reflects the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments listed.

(e) Amounts represent the difference between book and tax accounting related to stock-based compensation cost.

(f) In loss periods, GAAP basic loss per share and diluted loss per share are identical since the effect of potentially dilutive shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded. For non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the impact of potentially dilutive shares from our convertible senior notes and equity awards is included and is calculated based on the sum of weighted-average common shares and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during 2022.

(g) Amount represents interest expense on the 2023 Convertible Senior Notes, net of any income tax effects, which is added back to the numerator used to calculate non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for purposes of the if-converted method, as it would have a dilutive effect on the calculation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
