12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Reportable Segment Information
As of December 28, 2025, we have one reportable segment, Core Illumina. Prior to the Spin-Off of GRAIL, on June 24, 2024, our reportable segments included both Core Illumina and GRAIL. See note 8. GRAIL Spin-Off for details. We continue to disclose certain historical information for GRAIL prior to the Spin-Off. Segment information is consistent with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is our Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information, makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and assesses performance. We also consider the way budgets and forecasts are prepared and reviewed and the basis on which executive compensation is determined.
Core Illumina: Core Illumina’s products and services serve customers in the research, clinical and applied markets, and enable the adoption of a variety of genomic solutions. Core Illumina sells products and provides services to GRAIL, and vice versa, in accordance with contractual agreements between the entities.
GRAIL: GRAIL is a healthcare company focused on early detection of multiple cancers. Prior to the Spin-Off of GRAIL into a separate, independent public company, GRAIL was required to be held and operated separately and independently from Illumina pursuant to the transitional measures ordered by the European Commission.
Our CODM allocates resources and evaluates business performance based on revenues and net income (loss). Net income (loss) is used in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting processes and to monitor and assess budgeted/forecasted versus actual results. Our CODM does not evaluate segments using asset information. The accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
