Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed February 28, 2007. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) reported total revenue of $184.6 milliona for the year ended December 31, 2006, up 151% from $73.5 million in 2005, with product revenue of $155.8 million and service and other revenue of $27.5 million.
The company posted net income of $40.0 millionb, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $20.9 million in 2005, and reported income from operations of $37.8 million. Its accumulated deficit narrowed to $104.6 million, and it had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $130.8 million at year-end. The filing notes that gross margin on product revenue rose to 67.1%, and that stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R reduced diluted EPS by $0.29.
Subsequent to year-end, Illumina completed its merger with Solexa, Inc. on January 26, 2007, issuing approximately 13.1 million shares, and on February 16, 2007 issued $400 millionc of 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014, using about $202 million of the net proceeds to repurchase common stock. The company expects research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in 2007, and says the merger is expected to be dilutive to earnings per share at least through 2007. The principal risk highlighted is ongoing patent litigation with Affymetrix, which filed suit in 2004 alleging infringement of six patents; trial was scheduled to begin in phases starting March 5, 2007.
Additional matters include a suit by Applied Biosystems against Solexa over Sequencing-by-Ligation patents, which the company says is not material, and a former employee's inventorship claim. Foreign sales were 44%d of 2006 revenue, and the company has only recently achieved annual profitability.
