- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The net operating profit after taxes exhibited a notable upward trend from 2016 through 2019, increasing from $453 million in 2016 to a peak of $957 million in 2019. However, in 2020, there was a marked decline to $593 million, representing a significant downturn following several years of growth.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital displayed a gradual increase over the period, rising from 14.57% in 2016 to 15.15% in 2020. This steady upward movement suggests a progressively higher hurdle rate for investments, potentially reflecting increased risk or changes in market conditions.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital grew consistently from 2016 through 2019, moving from $2,874 million to $4,997 million. However, in 2020, there was a slight decrease to $4,907 million. The overall increase over the five years indicates expanding asset or capital deployment, despite the minor reduction in the final year.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit trended positively from 2016 to 2019, rising from $35 million to $211 million, implying that the company generated value above its cost of capital during these years. Contrastingly, in 2020, economic profit turned negative, dropping to -$151 million. This reversal suggests that the company failed to cover its cost of capital in that year, indicating a deterioration in value creation.

- Net Income Attributable to Illumina Stockholders
- The net income demonstrated an overall upward trend from 2016 to 2019, starting at 463 million US dollars in 2016 and reaching a peak of 1002 million US dollars in 2019. This represents a substantial growth over the four-year period. However, in 2020, there was a notable decline to 656 million US dollars, which indicates a reversal of the previous growth trend.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- NOPAT followed a similar pattern to net income, increasing consistently from 453 million US dollars in 2016 to 957 million US dollars in 2019. This increase reflects improving operational efficiency and profitability. However, in 2020, NOPAT decreased to 593 million US dollars, signaling a significant downturn in operating profitability in that year.
- Overall Observations
- Both net income and NOPAT showed strong positive growth through 2019, indicating solid financial performance and effective management of operational costs and taxes. The decline observed in 2020 suggests that external factors or internal challenges may have adversely affected profitability. The 2020 results warrant further investigation to identify specific causes and to assess the sustainability of future earnings.
Cash Operating Taxes

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2017-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2016-12-31).
The financial data reveals the trends in tax-related expenses over five fiscal years ending from 2016 to 2020. Both the provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes have exhibited fluctuations throughout this period.
- Provision for Income Taxes
- This item showed a significant increase from $133 million in 2016 to a peak of $365 million in 2017. Subsequently, it decreased sharply to $112 million in 2018 and remained relatively stable in 2019 with a slight increase to $128 million. In 2020, there was a notable rise again to $200 million.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes also followed a somewhat similar pattern, increasing from $140 million in 2016 to $344 million in 2017. After 2017, there was a decline to $133 million in 2018, followed by a further decrease to $114 million in 2019. In 2020, cash operating taxes dropped dramatically to $35 million, reaching the lowest level in the five-year span.
Overall, both tax provisions and cash operating taxes peaked sharply in 2017, followed by declines in subsequent years. However, while the provision for income taxes saw a rebound in 2020, cash operating taxes continued to decline substantially. This divergence in 2020 may indicate changes in tax payment timing, tax strategy, or the recognition of deferred tax liabilities.

4 Addition of reserve for product warranties.
5 Addition of equity equivalents to total Illumina stockholders’ equity.
6 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
7 Subtraction of construction in progress.
8 Subtraction of short-term investments.
The financial data indicates several notable trends in the company's capital structure and financing components over the five-year period ending December 31, 2020.
- Total reported debt & leases
- This metric exhibits moderate fluctuations, beginning at $1,795 million in 2016, rising to a peak of $2,599 million in 2018, before decreasing to approximately $1,881 million in 2019 and stabilizing around $1,906 million in 2020. The increase through 2018 suggests a period of increased borrowing or lease commitments, followed by a reduction implying possible debt repayment or lease adjustments.
- Total stockholders’ equity
- Equity shows a consistent, steady increase year-over-year, rising from $2,197 million in 2016 to $4,694 million in 2020. The equity nearly doubled over the period, reflecting retained earnings growth, possible capital raises, or accumulated comprehensive income, indicating strengthening financial stability and increased shareholder value.
- Invested capital
- Invested capital generally trends upward from $2,874 million in 2016 to a peak of $4,997 million in 2019, with a slight decrease to $4,907 million in 2020. This overall growth reflects increased funding employed in the business, either through equity or liabilities, aligning with growth or expansion strategies. The small decline in 2020 suggests a minor contraction or adjustment in the capital base.
Overall, the company demonstrates a strengthening equity base coupled with management of debt levels, maintaining total invested capital at elevated levels consistent with potential expansion or operational scaling. The reduction in debt after 2018, alongside rising equity, may suggest a strategic shift towards lower leverage, improving financial flexibility.

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit experienced significant fluctuations over the observed period. Starting at 35 million US dollars in 2016, it saw a peak at 211 million US dollars in 2017 and maintained a relatively high level of 189 to 211 million US dollars in 2018 and 2019. However, there was a sharp decline in 2020, resulting in a negative economic profit of -151 million US dollars, indicating a loss in value generation during that year.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital exhibited a consistent upward trend from 2016 through 2019, increasing steadily from 2,874 million US dollars to 4,997 million US dollars. In 2020, invested capital slightly decreased to 4,907 million US dollars, showing a minor contraction after several years of growth.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio, which measures the difference between return on invested capital and cost of capital, initially was modest at 1.2% in 2016, saw a substantial increase to 5.86% in 2017, and then gradually declined over the following two years to 4.75% in 2018 and 4.23% in 2019. By 2020, the ratio turned negative at -3.07%, reflecting the diminished profitability and indicating that the cost of capital exceeded returns.
- Overall Analysis
- The data reflects a period of strong economic performance between 2017 and 2019, characterized by increasing invested capital and solid economic profits, supported by a healthy economic spread ratio. The significant downturn in 2020, marked by negative economic profit and economic spread, suggests a considerable challenge in generating returns above capital costs, potentially due to operational difficulties or external market conditions during that year. The slight reduction in invested capital in 2020 further indicates a retrenchment or cautious capital deployment during a period of declining profitability.

- Revenue Trends
- The revenue exhibited a consistent increase from 2016 through 2019, growing from $2,398 million to $3,543 million. However, in 2020, there was a noticeable decline to $3,239 million, indicating a contraction after several years of growth.
- Economic Profit
- The economic profit experienced significant fluctuations during the period. Starting at $35 million in 2016, it surged to $211 million in 2017, slightly decreased to $189 million in 2018, and then returned to $211 million in 2019. In 2020, economic profit sharply dropped to a negative value of -$151 million, reflecting a considerable loss in value creation for that year.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin paralleled the trend of economic profit, beginning at 1.44% in 2016, then rising substantially to 7.66% in 2017. It declined modestly in 2018 to 5.68% but improved slightly in 2019 to 5.97%. By 2020, the margin turned negative to -4.65%, aligning with the negative economic profit and signaling a contraction in profitability relative to revenue.
- Overall Analysis
- Over the analyzed period, the company showed strong growth in revenue and improvements in economic profit and profit margins through 2019. Despite this positive trend, 2020 marked a reversal with decreased revenue, negative economic profit, and a negative profit margin, indicating challenges that adversely affected financial performance and profitability for that fiscal year.
