Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 1, 2006, Illumina, Inc. issued a press release containing, among other things, guidance with respect to expected revenue and net income per share, excluding the impact of stock compensation expense, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. At that time, the Company expected that, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, total revenue would range between $22 million and $24 million and net income per basic and diluted share, excluding the impact of stock compensation expense, would range between breakeven and $0.02. On April 6, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing that it expects to exceed this guidance. The Company also announced that it plans to issue its results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and update its financial guidance for the remainder of the year following the close of the market on Tuesday, April 18, 2006. The full text of the Company's press release is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1.

The exhibit to this Form 8-K contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of non-cash equity-based stock compensation expense as a result of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123R. The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding non-cash equity-based stock compensation expense will provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results, and will facilitate comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company also plans to use these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

This Form 8-K, including the exhibit hereto, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of, or otherwise subject to the liability of, Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Illumina, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether made before, on or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
