ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview

We are a provider of sequencing- and array-based solutions for genetic and genomic analysis, serving customers in the research, clinical and applied markets. Our products are used for applications in the life sciences, oncology, reproductive health, agriculture and other emerging segments. Our customers include leading genomic research centers, academic institutions, government laboratories, and hospitals, as well as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, commercial molecular diagnostic laboratories, and consumer genomics companies.

On June 24, 2024, we completed the separation (the Spin-Off) of GRAIL into a new public company through the distribution of 26,547,021 shares of GRAIL common stock to Illumina stockholders on a pro rata basis. The distribution reflected approximately 85.5% of the outstanding common stock of GRAIL as of 5:00 p.m. New York time on June 13, 2024, the record date for the distribution (the Record Date). We retained 14.5% of the shares of GRAIL common stock immediately following the Spin-Off. The disposition of GRAIL did not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation and GRAIL’s results of operations and cash flows have not been reclassified.

As part of the Spin-Off, we contributed to GRAIL an amount, in cash, to cover 2.5 years of GRAIL’s operations (the Disposal Funding), which was determined to be $974 million, less the cash and cash equivalents held by GRAIL. In planning for and executing the Spin-Off, we incurred $37 million and $52 million in separation-related transaction costs in Q2 2024 and YTD 2024, respectively, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, from which the prior year balance sheet information herein was derived. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Although recently imposed tariffs, reductions in the U.S. government’s funding of the National Institutes of Health, our inclusion on the unreliable entities list by regulatory authorities in China and the prohibition of our export of sequencing instruments into China, as well as macroeconomic factors such as inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, and concerns about an economic downturn present additional uncertainty, we continue to use the best information available to form our critical accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and majority-owned or controlled companies. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to December 31, with quarters of 13 or 14 weeks ending the Sunday closest to March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. References to Q2 2025 and Q2 2024 refer to the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, which were both 13 weeks. References to year-to-date (YTD) 2025 and 2024 refer to the six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, which were both 26 weeks.

Significant Accounting Policies

During YTD 2025, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard includes enhanced income tax disclosures, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid for annual periods. The standard is effective for us beginning in our annual fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted, and is expected to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The new standard requires a company to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified categories of expenses that are included in line items on the face of the income statement. The standard is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2027 and interim periods within fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is expected to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. In loss periods, basic and diluted loss per share are identical since the effect of potentially dilutive common shares is antidilutive and therefore excluded. Potentially dilutive common shares from equity awards are determined using the average share price for each period under the treasury stock method. In addition, proceeds from exercise of equity awards and the average amount of unrecognized compensation expense for equity awards are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

The weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were as follows:


In millions	Q2 2025	Q2 2024	YTD 2025	YTD 2024
Weighted average shares used in calculating basic earnings (loss) per share	157	159	158	159


Weighted average shares used in calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share	157	159	158	159

Antidilutive shares:
Equity awards	5	5	3	4
Potentially dilutive shares excluded from calculation due to antidilutive effect	5	5	3	4
