Use of Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains, and accompanying oral statements may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others, statements regarding potential applications for, and features and benefits of, Fluidigm products, opportunities for participation by Fluidigm in human cell atlas research, addressable market growth, implementation of strategic initiatives (including anticipated cost savings, modifications to an R&D investment model, new products and enhancements and support for existing products, product launch strategies, collaborations and partnerships, and customer relationships), and expected financial results. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from currently anticipated results, including but not limited to, risks relating to the future financial performance of Fluidigm product lines; challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, launching, marketing, and selling new products; potential product performance and quality issues; the possible loss of key employees, customers, or suppliers; intellectual property risks; competition; Fluidigm research and development, sales, marketing, and distribution plans and capabilities; reduction in research and development spending or changes in budget priorities by customers; interruptions or delays in the supply of components or materials for, or manufacturing of, its products; seasonal variations in customer operations; unanticipated increases in costs or expenses; and risks associated with international operations. Information on these and additional risks, uncertainties, and other information affecting Fluidigm business and operating results are contained in Fluidigm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and in its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Fluidigm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Fluidigm disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. * * * Fluidigm, the Fluidigm logo, Access Array, Biomark, C1, Callisto, CyTOF, EP1, Helios, Juno, Maxpar and Polaris are trademarks or registered trademarks of Fluidigm Corporation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In this presentation, Fluidigm has presented certain financial information in accordance with GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis for the first nine months of 2016 and 2015. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, taken in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of the company’s core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the company’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark the company’s performance externally against competitors. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Fluidigm 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 operating results are presented in the tables where the non-GAAP measures are provided in this presentation. January 9, 2017
