Illumina Reports Preliminary Revenue for First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2020

Withdraws 2020 Full Year Revenue and Earnings Per Share Guidance

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced preliminary revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and withdrew its 2020 guidance.

Subject to quarter-end closing adjustments, the Company expects to report first quarter revenue of approximately $858 million, compared to $846 million in the first quarter of 2019. Strong sequencing consumable revenue more than offset the impact of COVID-19 including disrupted system sales in the closing weeks of the quarter.

“Our priority in the midst of this global pandemic is the safety of our employees, partners and customers,” said Francis deSouza, President and CEO. “We are also committed to ensuring continuity of supply for our customers, many of whom are performing critical clinical testing for patients. We share the commitment of the scientific community to do everything we can to fight COVID-19, and are supporting researchers using sequencing to track transmission, study the evolution of the virus’ genome and how it could impact the effectiveness of diagnostics and therapies, or explore how surveillance could be adopted to reduce the impact of future outbreaks of new infectious diseases.”

“While our preliminary first quarter results were strong overall, we expect the second quarter to be significantly impacted by COVID-19 related disruption,” said Sam Samad, Illumina’s Chief Financial Officer. “We are confident that this is a temporary disruption that in no way alters the long-term trajectory of sequencing adoption and demand. That said, it is not possible at this time to forecast the severity and duration of this outbreak. As a result, we believe it is prudent at this time to withdraw our 2020 revenue and earnings per share guidance.”
