Q1 2020 (Q1’20) Business Outlook

As a result of the corporate structure reorganization to relocate our European headquarters from the Netherlands to Switzerland in Q1’20, our Q1’20 GAAP tax rate will reflect a significant one-time tax benefit associated with the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the intra-entity sale of certain intellectual property rights. This deferred tax benefit will be amortized starting in 2020 and continue into subsequent quarters and years. The period over which this tax benefit will be recognized depends on the profitability of our Swiss headquarters and therefore is uncertain at this time.  Management ordinarily assesses the health of our business without regard to these types of one-time events and believes this reorganization will make it difficult for investors to assess our core underlying financial performance were we to report solely based on GAAP. Therefore, we will supplement our GAAP information with non-GAAP measures going forward. Beginning in Q1’20, in addition to our GAAP results we will present non-GAAP measures that exclude the aforementioned tax impact, along with certain other items that may not be indicative of our fundamental operating performance including discrete cash and non-cash charges in order to present investors with greater transparency into our core business operations.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP outlook is provided at the end of this release.

 

The following statements are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions, and involve risk and uncertainties, some of which are set forth below under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Novel Coronavirus in China

As reported by news agencies worldwide, the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Wuhan, the capital of the Hubei Province in China, is a serious situation. China is one of our largest country markets and represents roughly 8% of our total revenues. The situation in China is very fluid and we are closely monitoring it. We are in contact with various relevant agencies globally. Thus far, the Chinese government has implemented travel bans and has essentially shutdown public transportation in Wuhan. It has also issued public warnings to avoid all non-essential medical and dental procedures for the time-being.

 

While we do not believe there are any concerns regarding the safety of our products due to the stringent health and safety procedures of our manufacturing processes, we are taking additional precautions across China to minimize the risk of spreading illness to our internal teams, including additional protections and health screening procedures as well as travel bans/restrictions.

 

Given this increased uncertainty and disruption to our employees, customers/doctors’ practices, their patients and consumers, we believe it is prudent to reduce our outlook for Q1’20. Therefore, for Q1’20, our outlook reflects approximately 20,000 to 25,000 fewer Invisalign case shipments and approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million less revenues for Invisalign and iTero products sold in China. In addition, we are also absorbing $3.0 million to $4.0 million in idle China plant capacity costs which we expect will result in approximately a 0.5% gross margin impact.

 

Commenting on Align’s first quarter outlook, Hogan continued, “As we kick off 2020, we are very concerned for the safety and health of our employees, customers/doctors and their patients in China. Their wellbeing is our top priority and we are doing everything we can to ensure that they are in good hands. We are working with our local team to donate medical supplies and provide funding to help combat the outbreak. While we are mindful of the increased uncertainty in China and its impact on our first quarter outlook, it’s important to take a step back and remember that our business is broad and deep. We have strong growth in other regions, and are seeing strong momentum in the Americas, across EMEA and in all other countries in APAC especially Japan, Australia/New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Korea.”

For Q1’20, Align provides the following guidance:

·Net revenues in the range of $615.0 million to $630.0 million, up approximately 12% to 15% over the same period a year ago, which reflects $30.0 million to $35.0 million less revenues for Invisalign and iTero products sold in China.
·Invisalign case shipments in the range of 396 thousand to 406 thousand, up approximately 13% to 16% over the same period a year ago, which reflects approximately 20,000 to 25,000 fewer Invisalign case shipments from China.
·GAAP operating margin in the range of 15.4% to 16.5%.
oNon-GAAP operating margin in the range of 19.5% to 20.5%.
·GAAP effective tax rate in the range of (1,440%) to (1,302%)
oNon-GAAP effective tax rate in the range of 22% to 23%.
·GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $18.65 to $18.74.
oNon-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $1.19 to $1.28.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we intend to provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures beginning in Q1’20 including, non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating margin, effective tax rate, net income and diluted EPS, which exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our fundamental operating performance including discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP measures will exclude the effects of stock-based compensation, non-cash deferred tax assets and associated amortization related to intra-entity transfer of non-inventory assets, impairments and other (gains) charges, and litigation settlement gains, and, if applicable, any associated tax impacts.

 

We use non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our recurring core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they will be provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business.

 

 -5- 

 

There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, though, because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public disclosures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our GAAP financial measures to the comparable Non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Q1’20 Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP" and "Business Outlook Summary" included at the end of this release.
