Santa Clara, Calif. – January 29, 2004 – Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), the inventor of Invisalign®, a proprietary method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2003. Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $36.5 million, compared to $34.0 million in the third quarter of 2003, an increase of 7.4 percent, and $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, an increase of 75.5 percent. For fiscal year 2003, Align reported revenues of $122.7 million, compared to $69.7 million for fiscal year 2002, an increase of 76.0 percent.

 

“2003 was a great year for Align in all aspects of our business,” stated Thomas M. Prescott, Align Technology’s President and CEO. “Programs in marketing, clinical education and customer support, in conjunction with operational improvements, have led to record revenues, margins and, in the fourth quarter, GAAP profitability. Going forward in 2004, we expect to continue providing the best product and support for our customers as we seek to build a lasting and profitable company for our shareholders.”

The net profit for the fourth quarter of 2003 as determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) was $2.5 million, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04. These amounts, and the amounts discussed below, do not include any charges that the Company may incur as a result of the Dental Discus arbitration (discussed below). This compares to a net loss for the third quarter of 2003 of $2.1 million, or a net loss of $0.04 per basic and diluted share, and a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2002 of $15.4 million, or a net loss of $0.30 per basic and diluted share. For fiscal year 2003, the net loss under GAAP was $18.0 million, or a net loss of $0.31 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $72.8 million for fiscal year 2002, or a net loss of $1.52 per basic and diluted share.

 

The non-GAAP net profit for the fourth quarter of 2003, which excludes $3.0 million of stock-based compensation, was $5.6 million, or basic non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.10 and diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.09. This compares to a non-GAAP net profit of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2003, which excludes $3.4 million of stock-based compensation, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.02. This also compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, which excludes $3.8 million of stock-based compensation and $3.4 million of restructuring charges, or a non-GAAP net loss of $0.16 per basic and diluted share. For the fiscal year 2003, the non-GAAP net loss, which excludes $15.0 million of stock-based compensation and $0.5 million of restructuring charges, was $2.5 million, or a non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.04. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $47.3 million for fiscal year 2002, which excludes $20.3 million of stock-based compensation and $5.2 million of restructuring charges, or a non-GAAP net loss of $0.99 per basic and diluted share. The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measurements for net loss for the fourth quarter and fiscal year of 2003 is set forth below within Align Technology’s financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2003 Align had $47.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $42.7 million as of September 30, 2003 and $41.5 million as of December 31, 2002. Align Technology did not incur additional borrowings or draw-downs against its credit facility during 2003.

Update to Discus Dental Impressions Arbitration

 

A three-arbitrator Panel from the American Arbitration Association issued an interim ruling in connection with Align Technology’s arbitration with Discus Dental Impressions (“Discus”). Although the Panel’s interim ruling found that Align’s termination of its marketing agreement with Discus was wrongful, the Panel awarded Discus damages in the amount of only $1.00. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the original contract, the prevailing party in the arbitration is entitled to its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the Panel. Discus has requested that the Panel award it $2.6 million in attorney’s fees and costs and Align has disputed this amount. Align expects the Panel to issue its final ruling, including determination of reasonable attorney fees and costs payable to Discus, prior to filing the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003. If the final ruling is made prior to the filing of the Form 10-K, the Company will include a charge relating to the arbitration in its 2003 financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company expects to issue a press release with updated 2003 financials when the final ruling is issued.

About Align Technology, Inc.

 

Align Technology designs, manufactures and markets Invisalign, a proprietary method for treating malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth. Invisalign corrects malocclusion using a series of clear, nearly invisible, removable appliances that gently move teeth to a desired final position. Because it does not rely on the use of metal or ceramic brackets and wires, Invisalign significantly reduces the aesthetic and other limitations associated with braces. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and older teens. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998.

NON-GAAP CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS (1)(2)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Align uses a non-GAAP measure of net profit (loss), which is adjusted to exclude certain costs and expenses and any associated tax effects of such adjustments. We believe that our non-GAAP net profit (loss) gives an indication of our baseline performance before other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, our non-GAAP net profit (loss) is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
