  • Cash flow from operations of $280 million and free cash flow of $199 million for the quarter, compared to $240 million and $205 million, respectively, in the prior year period

Excluding the effect of non-cash stock compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-GAAP gross margin was 69.9% for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 71.7% in the prior year period.

Financial outlook and guidance

Please see our Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance included in this release for a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

For fiscal 2017, the company is projecting 10% to 12% revenue growth, GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders of $3.25 to $3.35 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders of $3.60 to $3.70. Our annual guidance assumes first quarter revenue of $580 million to $595 million, GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders of $0.51 to $0.56 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Illumina stockholders of $0.60 to $0.65.

All earnings per diluted share guidance includes the consolidated results of GRAIL in the first quarter, with the exception of any one-time items associated with the expected close of the Series B financing.

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 stock compensation expense, 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 Illumina’s expectations regarding the launch of any products and the future cost of genome sequencing. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are (i) 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; (ii) our ability to manufacture robust instrumentation and consumables; (iii) achievement and timing of the planned deconsolidation of GRAIL, Inc.’s financial results in our financial statements; (iv) our ability to successfully identify and integrate acquired technologies, products, or businesses; (v) our expectations and beliefs regarding future conduct and growth of the business and the markets in which we operate; (vi) challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, and launching new products and services, including the timing of customer orders and impact on existing products and services; and (vii) 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.

Free cash flow (c) $198,615  $204,892  $427,347  $516,749 
 

(a) Net cash provided by operating activities excludes excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation of $91.3 million in fiscal 2016, of which $18.6 million was recorded as cash inflow from operating activities in Q4. This compares to $126.7 million in fiscal 2015, of which $5.0 million was recorded in Q4. Net cash used in financing activities reflects the excess tax benefit as a corresponding inflow in the respective periods except Q4 2016 which is an outflow.

 

(b) Excludes property and equipment recorded under build-to-suit lease accounting, which are non-cash expenditures, of $193.4 million in fiscal 2016, of which $24.6 million was in Q4, and $9.5 million in fiscal 2015, all of which was in Q4.

 

(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.
