SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2016-- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced estimated third quarter revenue of approximately $607 million, a 10% increase compared to $550 million in the third quarter of 2015. This unaudited estimate, based on management’s preliminary financial analysis, is lower than the third quarter revenue guidance of $625 million to $630 million.
The shortfall in quarterly revenue was driven by a larger than anticipated year-over-year decline in high throughput sequencing instruments. As a result, the company expects fourth quarter revenue will be flat to slightly up sequentially.
