Financial outlook and guidance

Fiscal year 2025 guidance does not attempt to reflect any impact from the recent China Ministry of Commerce announcement and assumes a continuation of the current macroeconomic and political environments. For fiscal year 2025, the company continues to expect Core Illumina constant currency revenue growth in the low single digits (reported revenue in the range of approximately $4.28 billion to $4.4 billion) and non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 23%. The company expects non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $4.50 to $4.65.

 

The company provides forward-looking guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of items such as acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses from strategic investments, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, potential future asset impairments, restructuring activities, and the ultimate outcome of pending litigation without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, inherently difficult to predict, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
