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 expenses, 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 charges such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense associated with the company’s convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, and others that are listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release. Management has excluded the effects of these items in non-GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance. Additionally, non-GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders 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.

Use of forward-looking statements
This release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our financial outlook and guidance for fiscal 2018 and expectations regarding the launch of new products. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are: (i) challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, and launching new products and services, including expanding manufacturing operations and reliance on third-party suppliers for critical components; (ii) the timing and mix of customer orders among our products and services; (iii) the impact of recently launched or pre-announced products and services on existing products and services; (iv) 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; (v) our ability to manufacture robust instrumentation and consumables; (vi) the success of products and services competitive with our own; (vii) our ability to successfully identify and integrate acquired technologies, products, or businesses; (viii) our expectations and beliefs regarding future conduct and growth of the business and the markets in which we operate; and (ix) the application of generally accepted accounting principles, which are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments, 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 quarter.

(a) Excess tax expense of $19 million and tax benefit of $91 million related to stock-based compensation for the three months and year ended January 1, 2017, respectively, was reclassified from cash used in financing activities to cash provided by operating activities as a result of the retrospective application of ASU 2016-09 adopted in Q1 2017.
(b) Excludes property and equipment recorded under build-to-suit lease accounting, which are non-cash expenditures, of $19 million and $79 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and $25 million and $193 million for the three months and year ended January 1, 2017, respectively.
(c) 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-cash interest expense is calculated in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash.
(b) Amount consists primarily of employee costs related to the restructuring that occurred in Q4 2017.
(c) Amount represents the gain recognized as a result of the deconsolidation of GRAIL in Q1 2017. The $150 million tax effect of the gain is included in incremental non-GAAP tax expense. Subsequent to the transaction, our remaining interest is treated as a cost-method investment.
(d) Amount represents impairment of an acquired intangible asset and in-process research and development of $18 million and $5 million, respectively.
(e) Amount represents performance-based stock which vested as a result of the financing, net of attribution to noncontrolling interest.
(f) Equity-method investment gain represents mark-to-market adjustments from our investment in Illumina Innovations Fund I, L.P.
(g) Acquisition related gain consists of change in fair value of contingent consideration.
(h) Legal contingencies for 2016 represent a reversal of previously recorded expense related to the settlement of patent litigation.
(i) Contingent compensation expense relates to contingent payments for post-combination services associated with an acquisition.
(j) Amount represents the impact of a deemed dividend, net of Illumina’s portion of the losses incurred by GRAIL’s common stockholders resulting from the company’s common to preferred share exchange with GRAIL. The amount was added to net income attributable to Illumina stockholders for purposes of calculating Illumina’s consolidated earnings per share. The deemed dividend, net of tax, was recorded through equity.
(k) Incremental non-GAAP tax expense reflects the tax impact related to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above.
(l) Tax benefit related to cost-sharing arrangement refers to the exclusion of stock compensation from prior period cost-sharing charges as a result of a tax court ruling.
(m) In accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 (U.S. Tax Reform), amount primarily consists of a provisional estimate of the one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred.
(n) Excess tax benefits from share-based compensation are recorded as a discrete item within the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statement of income pursuant to ASU 2016-09, which was previously recognized in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.
(o) Non-GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders exclude the effect of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Illumina stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Illumina stockholders 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 core operating performance.
