In January 2016, the Company obtained a majority equity ownership interest in GRAIL, a company formed with unrelated third party investors to develop a blood test for early-stage cancer detection. The Company determined that GRAIL was a variable interest entity as the entity lacked sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional support. Additionally, the Company determined that it had (a) control of GRAIL’s board of directors, which had unilateral power over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of GRAIL and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of and the right to receive benefits from GRAIL that were potentially significant to GRAIL. As a result, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of GRAIL and was required to consolidate GRAIL. In January 2016, GRAIL completed its Series A convertible preferred stock financing, raising $120 million , of which the Company invested $40 million . Additionally, the Company and GRAIL executed a long-term supply agreement in which the Company contributed certain perpetual licenses, employees, and discounted supply terms in exchange for 113 million shares of GRAIL’s Class B common stock. Such contributions were recorded at their historical basis as they remained within the control of the Company. The $80 million received by GRAIL from unrelated third party investors upon issuance of its Series A convertible preferred stock was classified as noncontrolling interests in stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In June 2016, GRAIL authorized for issuance 98 million shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, all of which were issued to Illumina in exchange for Illumina’s 98 million shares of GRAIL Class B common stock. As a result of the exchange, Illumina recorded a $10 million deemed dividend, net of tax of $10 million , through equity, which was eliminated in consolidation. Deconsolidation of GRAIL, Inc. On February 28, 2017, GRAIL completed the initial close of its Series B preferred stock financing, raising over $900 million , in which the Company did not participate. Concurrent with the financing, GRAIL repurchased from the Company 35 million shares of its Series A preferred stock and approximately 34 million shares of its Series A-1 preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of $278 million . At this time, the Company ceased to have a controlling financial interest in GRAIL and the Company’s equity ownership was reduced from 52% to 19% . Additionally, the Company’s voting interest was reduced to 13% , and the Company no longer has representation on GRAIL’s board of directors. As a result, the Company deconsolidated GRAIL’s financial statements effective February 28, 2017 and accounts for the remaining retained investment as a cost method investment. During the three months ended July 2, 2017, the Company purchased approximately 3 million Series B preferred shares for $14 million resulting in an ownership of approximately 17% of GRAIL’s outstanding stock and a 12% voting interest. As of October 1, 2017 , the Company holds $185 million in other assets related to this investment, which consists of 5 million Series A preferred shares, and approximately 3 million Series B preferred shares and 78 million Class A common shares of GRAIL. The operations of GRAIL from January 2, 2017 up to the date of deconsolidation are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended October 1, 2017 . During this period, the Company absorbed approximately 50% of GRAIL’s losses based upon its proportional ownership of GRAIL’s common stock. On February 28, 2017, the Company recorded a pretax gain of $453 million included in other income, net, of which $159 million relates to the remeasurement of the Company’s retained equity interest to its fair value. The pretax gain on deconsolidation includes (i) the consideration received from GRAIL for its repurchase of a portion of the Company’s ownership interest, (ii) the derecognition of the carrying amounts of GRAIL’s assets and liabilities, (iii) the derecognition of the noncontrolling interest related to GRAIL, and (iv) the recording of the Company’s remaining interest in GRAIL at fair value. This fair value measurement of the Company’s remaining interest was derived using the market approach. Significant estimates and assumptions required for this valuation included, but were not limited to, various Black-Scholes option-pricing model assumptions as of the date of deconsolidation and estimated discounts for lack of marketability related to the equity securities. These unobservable inputs, which represent a Level 3 measurement, are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. In connection with the deconsolidation of GRAIL, the parties amended their long-term supply agreement, including the discounted supply terms. The repurchase and supply arrangements, which were entered into concurrently, contain various elements and, as such, are deemed to be an arrangement with multiple deliverables as defined under the respective authoritative accounting guidance. The Company determined that each of the elements, which include the purchase obligation, the purchase right, and services to be provided in accordance with the long-term supply agreement, were at, or approximated, fair value on a standalone basis, and therefore, there was no discount to allocate among the deliverables. As such, none of the deconsolidation gain was allocated to these elements. Helix Holdings I, LLC In July 2015, the Company obtained a 50% voting equity ownership interest in Helix Holdings I, LLC (Helix), a limited liability company formed with unrelated third party investors to pursue the development and commercialization of a marketplace for consumer genomics. The Company determined that Helix is a variable interest entity as the holders of the at-risk equity investments as a group lack the power to direct the activities of Helix that most significantly impact Helix’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company determined that it has (a) unilateral power over one of the activities that most significantly impacts the economic performance of Helix through its contractual arrangements and no one individual party has unilateral power over the remaining significant activities of Helix and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of and the right to receive benefits from Helix that are potentially significant to Helix. As a result, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Helix and is required to consolidate Helix. As contractually committed, the Company contributed certain perpetual licenses, instruments, intangibles, initial laboratory setup, and discounted supply terms in exchange for voting equity interests in Helix. Such contributions are recorded at their historical basis as they remain within the control of the Company. Helix is financed through cash contributions made by the third party investors in exchange for voting equity interests in Helix. Certain noncontrolling Helix investors may require the Company to redeem all noncontrolling interests in cash at the then approximate fair market value. Such redemption right is exercisable at the option of certain noncontrolling interest holders after January 1, 2021, provided that a bona fide pursuit of the sale of Helix has occurred and an initial public offering of Helix has not been completed. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is considered a Level 3 instrument. As the contingent redemption is outside of the control of Illumina, the redeemable noncontrolling interests in Helix are classified outside of stockholders’ equity on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value after receiving its allocation of Helix’s profits and losses or its estimated redemption value at each reporting date. As of October 1, 2017 , the noncontrolling shareholders and Illumina each held 50% of Helix’s outstanding voting equity interests. The assets and liabilities of Helix are not significant to the Company’s financial position as of October 1, 2017 . Helix has an immaterial impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017 . As of October 1, 2017 , the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet includes $32 million of cash and cash equivalents attributable to Helix that will be used to settle their respective obligations and will not be available to settle obligations of the Company. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests The activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended October 1, 2017 is as follows (in millions): Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Balance as of January 1, 2017 $ 44 Amount released from escrow 79 Vesting of redeemable equity awards 12 Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (30 ) Adjustment up to the redemption value 30 Deconsolidation of GRAIL (11 ) Balance as of October 1, 2017 $ 124 |
