Financial outlook and guidance

The non-GAAP financial guidance discussed below excludes various one-time or specified non-cash charges. 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 2013 we are projecting 15% total company revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share of $1.55 to $1.62, including the pending Verinata acquisition. These projections include full year non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 70%, a pro forma tax rate of approximately 31% and stock compensation expense of approximately $115 million. Full-year weighted average diluted shares outstanding, for the measurement of pro forma amounts, is expected to be approximately 134 million shares.

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 related to stock compensation expense, non-cash interest expense associated with the Company's convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, net gains related to cost-method investments, headquarter relocation expense, costs related to unsolicited tender offer for the Company's stock, impairment of in-process research and development, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, contingent compensation expense, restructuring charges, legal contingencies, acquisition related expense, amortization of inventory revaluation costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt. Per share amounts also include the double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the Company's 0.625% convertible senior notes outstanding and the corresponding call option overlay. Management believes that presentation of operating results that excludes these items and per share double dilution provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company's core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing the Company's past and future operating performance.

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.

(a)  Pro forma impact of weighted average shares represents the impact of double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the Company's outstanding convertible debt and the corresponding call option overlay.

 

(b)  Cost-method investment related gain, net, consists of $48.6 million in gains from sale of minority interest in deCODE Genetics offset by $2.7 million in impairment of another cost-method investment.

 

(c) Non-cash interest expense is calculated in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash.

 

(d) Contingent compensation expense relates to contingent payments for post-combination services associated with acquisitions.

 

(e)  Headquarter relocation expense in Q4 2012 consists primarily of additional cease-use loss recorded due to a delay in the sublease of our prior headquarters and accretion of interest expense on lease exit liability recorded upon vacating our prior headquarters. Headquarter relocation expense in fiscal year 2012 consists primarily of cease-use loss recorded upon vacating our prior headquarters, double rent expense during the transition to our new headquarter facility, accretion of interest expense on lease exit liability, and moving costs.  Headquarter relocation expense recorded in Q4 2011 and fiscal year 2011 consisted of cease-use loss, accelerated depreciation expense and double rent expense during the transition to the new facility.

Acquisition related (gain) expense, net in the fiscal year 2011 consists of an acquired in-process research and development charge of $5.4 million related to a milestone payment for a prior acquisition, offset by changes in fair value of contingent consideration of $4.5 million, of which $1.5 million was recorded in Q4.

 

(h)  Incremental non-GAAP tax  benefit (expense) reflects the increase to GAAP tax expense related to the non-GAAP adjustments listed above.

 

(i)  Non-GAAP net income per share and net income exclude the effect of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above.  Non-GAAP diluted net income per share and net income are key drivers of our core operating performance and major factors in management's bonus compensation each year.  Management has excluded the effects of these items in these measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future core operating performance.

(a)  The Company recorded $1.5 million in inventory revaluation costs in conjunction with the acquisition of BlueGnome, Ltd., which was amortized into cost of goods sold during Q4 2012.

 

(b)  Contingent compensation expense relates to contingent payments for post-combination services associated with acquisitions.

 

(c)  Headquarter relocation expense in Q4 2012 consists primarily of additional cease-use loss recorded due to a delay in the sublease of our prior headquarters and accretion of interest expense on lease exit liability recorded upon vacating our prior headquarters. Headquarter relocation expense in fiscal year 2012 consists primarily of cease-use loss recorded upon vacating our prior headquarters, double rent expense during the transition to our new headquarter facility, accretion of interest expense on lease exit liability, and moving costs.  Headquarter relocation expense recorded in Q4 2011 and fiscal year 2011 consisted of cease-use loss, accelerated depreciation expense and double rent expense during the transition to the new facility.

 

(d)  Acquisition related expense (gain), net during fiscal year 2012 includes changes in fair value of contingent consideration of $2.0 million, of which $0.3 million was recorded in Q4, and transaction costs of $0.8 million related to the acquisition of BlueGnome Ltd. Acquisition related (gain) expense, net in the fiscal year 2011 consists of an acquired in-process research and development charge of $5.4 million related to a milestone payment for a prior acquisition, offset by changes in fair value of contingent consideration of $4.5 million, of which $1.5 million was recorded in Q4.

 

(e)  Non-GAAP operating profit, and non-GAAP other income, net, exclude the effects of the pro forma adjustments as detailed above. Management has excluded the effects of these items in these measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future core operating performance. Non-GAAP gross profit, included within the non-GAAP operating profit, is a key measure of the effectiveness and efficiency of our manufacturing processes, product mix and the average selling prices of our products and services.

 

(f)  Cost-method investment related gain, net, consists of $48.6 million in gains from sale of minority interest in deCODE Genetics offset by $2.7 million in impairment of another cost-method investment.

 

(g)  Non-cash interest expense is calculated in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash.
