SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALGN) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 (Q4 09) were a record $86.6 million compared to $79.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2009 (Q3 09) and compared to $74.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2008 (Q4 08). For fiscal 2009 (FY 09), net revenues of $312.3 million increased 2.7 percent from $304.0 million reported for fiscal 2008 (FY 08).
Invisalign case shipments for Q4 09 were a record 61.1 thousand, compared to 56.5 thousand in Q3 09 and compared to 52.6 thousand in Q4 08. For fiscal 2009, case shipments of 220.6 thousand increased four percent from 212.1 thousand reported for fiscal 2008.
"The fourth quarter was a strong finish to a better than expected year for Align and I'm very pleased to report sequential and year over year growth for Invisalign," said Thomas M. Prescott, president and CEO. "Our Q4 results reflect strong international growth, increased demand across the GP and Ortho channel in North America, continued adoption of new products including Invisalign Teen and Assist, and diligent expense management."
Net profit for Q4 09 was $11.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. Q4 net profit includes a benefit of $1.1 million to net revenues, or approximately $0.01 per share after taxes, reflecting an updated estimate for the fair value of Invisalign Teen replacement aligners. This is compared to net loss of $49.9 million, or $0.72 per diluted share in Q3 09 and net profit of $65.5 million, or $0.98 per diluted share in Q4 08. Q3 09 net loss of $49.9 million includes litigation settlement costs of $69.7 million and royalties of $1.9 million, for a total of $0.85 per diluted share related to the settlement agreement with Ormco Corporation. Q4 08 net profit of $65.5 million includes a restructuring charge of $4.0 million and a favorable impact of approximately $64.6 million, or $0.97 per diluted share from the release of a tax valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets. Stock-based compensation expense included in Q4 09 was $3.1million compared to $4.0 million in Q3 09 and $3.9 million in Q4 08.
Net loss for fiscal 2009 was $31.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, which includes litigation settlement costs of $69.7 million and royalties of $6.2 million, for a total of $0.85 per diluted share related to the settlement agreement with Ormco Corporation, and a restructuring charge of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. This compares to a net profit of $80.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share in fiscal 2008, which includes a restructuring charge of $6.2 million and the favorable impact of approximately $64.6 million, or $0.95 per diluted share from the release of a tax valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets in Q4 08. Stock-based compensation expense included in FY 09 net profit was $15.1 million compared to $17.1 million in FY 08.
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit and non-GAAP earnings per share. Detailed reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP information are contained in the tables following the financial tables of this release.
Non-GAAP net profit for Q4 09 was $12.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. This is compared to non-GAAP net profit of $8.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in Q3 09 and non-GAAP net profit of $4.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in Q4 08. Non-GAAP net profit for fiscal 2009 was $29.1 million or $0.41 per diluted share. This compares to a non-GAAP net profit of $21.5 million or $0.32 per diluted share in fiscal 2008.

2009 Business Highlights
During 2009, Align continued to make progress with strategic initiatives including the ongoing evolution of Invisalign products, customer channels, brand strategy and international expansion. The following business highlights summarize the company's accomplishments related to these initiatives during the year:
Invisalign Innovation -- New and Improved Features Are Tackling Barriers to Utilization
One of Align's key strategies for increasing adoption is to accelerate product and technology innovation to extend the clinical effectiveness of the Invisalign system. In October, the Company demonstrated significant progress on this front by introducing new and enhanced features for all Invisalign products. The new and improved features are designed to deliver better results across more clinical situations, and to overcome barriers to utilization by addressing clinical issues that doctors have traditionally perceived as challenging in Invisalign treatment, such as extrusions and rotations.
Proficiency Requirements -- Committed to Helping Practices be Successful with Invisalign
In June, Align announced the Invisalign Proficiency Requirements, designed to ensure that every practice that works with Invisalign is successful and every patient that receives Invisalign treatment gets the outcome they wanted. The Proficiency program requires every Invisalign provider in North America start at least 10 Invisalign patients in treatment and complete at least 10 Invisalign-specific continuing education (CE) credits each calendar year to maintain active account status. As of January 2010, approximately 6,400 doctors met the Invisalign Proficiency Requirements and another 15,800 doctors met the criteria for the additional six-month qualification period by starting at least one Invisalign case and completing at least one hour of Invisalign CE in 2009.
New Invisalign Brand Identity -- Reflecting Today's Evolving Invisalign Product Capability
Align recently evolved its brand strategy by updating the Invisalign look and feel, including a new and more modern logo. As part of the re-branding initiative, Align updated its consumer marketing programs, including the Invisalign websites, to direct patients to practices that are committed to being successful with Invisalign. All practices that met the Invisalign Proficiency Requirements for 2009 will receive new marketing materials, including the new Invisalign logo. These practices will be the first customers to be able to utilize the new Invisalign branding for use in their own marketing. In addition to the new branding materials, Preferred Providers will benefit from a new Preferred Provider designation that reflects their annual proficiency commitment.
New International Distributor -- Expanding into Emerging High Potential Countries in EMEA
Earlier this month, Align announced that it is adding an international distributor for the smaller country markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). As part of the distribution agreement for EMEA, Gil Laks, Align Technology vice president, International will leave Align and take on a new role as owner of the new distributor in the second quarter of 2010.

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 teens. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998. Today, the Invisalign product family includes Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Assist, Invisalign Express, and Vivera Retainers.

About non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements and our business outlook, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations, non-GAAP net profit, and non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude, as applicable, litigation settlement costs and royalties associated with the settlement with Ormco, impact of releasing the tax valuation allowance, the effect of charges associated with restructurings, and the related tax effect. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Business Outlook Summary" included at the end of this release.
We use these 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 "core operating performance". Management believes that "core operating performance" represents Align's performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from "core operating performance" certain expenditures and other items that may not be indicative of our operating performance including discrete cash charges that are infrequent or one-time in nature. 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 are provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to facilitate comparisons with prior and subsequent reporting periods.
