Align Technology Announces Preliminary Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Results

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/17/12 -- Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN)

  • Q3 net revenues of $136.5 million increased 8.4% year-over-year
  • Q3 Invisalign clear aligner revenue of $126.7 million increased 10.9% year-over-year
  • Q3 Invisalign case shipments of 92.5 thousand increased 16.6% year-over-year
  • Q3 Invisalign teenager case shipments of 24.5 thousand increased 21.5% year-over-year
  • Q3 scanner and CAD/CAM services revenue of $9.8 million decreased 15.9% year-over-year
  • Preliminary Q3 diluted GAAP EPS was $0.29, non-GAAP was $0.28
  • Company Evaluating Possible Goodwill Impairment Charge

Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today reported preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 ended September 30, 2012. The preliminary results are subject to change based upon the conclusion of goodwill impairment testing being undertaken by the Company.

Total net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 (Q3 12) were $136.5 million. This is compared to $145.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2012 (Q2 12) and compared to $125.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2011 (Q3 11). Q3 12 Invisalign clear aligner revenue was $126.7 million, compared to $133.7 million in Q2 12 and $114.3 million in Q3 11. Q3 12 Invisalign clear aligner case shipments were 92.5 thousand, compared to 95.3 thousand in Q2 12 and 79.4 thousand in Q3 11, and included Align's 2 millionth case milestone. Q3 12 scanner and CAD/CAM services revenue was $9.8 million, compared to $11.9 million in Q2 12 and compared to $11.6 million in Q3 11.

The discontinuation of Align's distribution relationship with Straumann in Europe and North America, announced in a separate press release today, and the decline in results of operations of the Company's Scanner and CAD/CAM Services reporting unit triggers the risk of impairment of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Cadent. As a result, Align is in the process of conducting step one of a goodwill impairment test as prescribed by GAAP. This test is currently in progress and the Company has not concluded as to whether goodwill, which had a carrying value of $135.3 million as of September 30, 2012, is impaired and for this reason the Company's results are preliminary. Prior to filing its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2012, the Company expects to complete the step one impairment test. If the result of the step one analysis indicates an impairment, the Company will conduct a step two evaluation to determine the amount of the non-cash impairment charge, if any. If step two cannot be completed prior to filing of the Form 10-Q for the third quarter, the Company may estimate a range of potential impairment and may record an estimated non-cash charge in the third quarter of 2012 results. Any difference between an estimate and the final step two evaluation, would be recorded in the fourth quarter 2012. The Company's evaluation could result in a non-cash impairment charge for a substantial portion of the $135.3 million book value of goodwill which would negatively affect net income although revenue and cash flow from operations would not be impacted.

"Despite a strong summer season for Invisalign teenager cases, which increased 21% sequentially and year-over-year, our third quarter revenue was slightly lower than our outlook," said Thomas M. Prescott, Align president and CEO. "Q3 is historically a slower period for North American GP Dentists and International doctors due to summer vacations. This year summer seasonality was more pronounced in North America and as a result, we did not see the expected ramp in Invisalign cases for GP Dentists and Orthodontists. This softness has continued through October and is reflected in our Q4 guidance, which despite that slowdown, still projects a healthy annual growth rate for the company overall, with volume growth of at least 16%."

Preliminary net profit for Q3 12 was $24.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. This is compared to net profit of $28.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in Q2 12 and net profit of $19.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in Q3 11. Preliminary net profit for Q3 12 includes pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $0.2 million, pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.1 million, pre-tax severance and benefit costs of $0.1 million with a total income tax-related adjustment of $2.1 million. Net profit for Q2 12 includes pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $0.3 million, pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.1 million, pre-tax severance and benefit costs of $0.2 million with a total income tax-related adjustment of $1.5 million. Net profit for Q3 11 includes pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $1.5 million, pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.1 million, pre-tax severance and benefit costs of $0.2 million with a total income tax-related adjustment of $0.2 million.

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, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. 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 Q3 12 was $23.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. This is compared to non-GAAP net profit of $28.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in Q2 12 and non-GAAP net profit of $21.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share in Q3 11.

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 gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations, non-GAAP net profit and non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude, as applicable, acquisition and integration related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, severance and benefit costs, and any related income tax-related adjustments, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. 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.

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 and non-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. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the quarter and year and a more detailed explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and its uses are provided in the footnotes to the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Key Financial Metrics" and "Business Outlook Summary" included at the end of this release.

Forward-Looking Statement
This news release, including the tables below, contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding certain business metrics for the fourth quarter of 2012, including anticipated net revenue, gross margin, operating expense, operating income, earnings per share, case shipments and cash. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the tables below relating to expectations about future events or results are based upon information available to Align as of the date hereof. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, difficulties predicting customer and consumer purchasing behavior, the willingness and ability of our customers to maintain and/or increase utilization in sufficient numbers, the possibility that the development and release of new products does not proceed in accordance with the anticipated timeline, the possibility that the market for the sale of these new products may not develop as expected, the risks relating to Align's ability to sustain or increase profitability or revenue growth in future periods while controlling expenses, growth related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and personnel, our ability to successfully achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Cadent Holdings, Inc., continued customer demand for our existing and new products, changes in consumer spending habits as a result of, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salaries and wages and consumer confidence, the timing of case submissions from our doctors within a quarter, acceptance of our products by consumers and dental professionals, foreign operational, political and other risks relating to Align's international manufacturing operations, Align's ability to protect its intellectual property rights, continued compliance with regulatory requirements, competition from existing and new competitors, Align's ability to develop and successfully introduce new products and product enhancements, and the loss of key personnel. These and other risks are detailed from time to time in Align's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2012. In addition to that information, the possibility of an impairment charge, which could result in a substantial reduction against goodwill and a commensurate charge against earnings, could have a material adverse impact on the preliminary results reported in this press release and on results during a subsequent period. While the Company expects to reflect the outcome of its impairment testing in its Form 10-Q and final reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, Align undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

References to GAAP in the third quarter tables above are preliminary GAAP results and do not include the impact of any potential impairment charge.

(1) Acquisition costs and integration related. We have incurred acquisition-related and other expenses which include legal, banker, accounting and other advisory fees of third parties, retention bonuses, integration and professional fees. We do not engage in acquisitions in the ordinary course of business. We believe that it is important to understand these charges; however, we do not believe that these charges are indicative of future operating results. We believe that eliminating these expenses from our non-GAAP measures is useful because we generally would not have otherwise incurred such expenses in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations.

(2) Amortization of acquired intangible assets. When conducting internal development of intangible assets (including developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks, etc.), GAAP accounting rules require that we expense the costs as incurred. In the case of acquired businesses, however, we are required to allocate a portion of the purchase price to the accounting value assigned to intangible assets acquired and amortize this amount over the estimated useful lives of the acquired intangibles. The acquired company, in most cases, has itself previously expensed the costs incurred to develop the acquired intangible assets, and the purchase price allocated to these assets is not necessarily reflective of the cost we would incur in developing the intangible asset. We eliminate these amortization charges for our non-GAAP operating results to provide better comparability of pre and post-acquisition operating results and comparability to results of businesses utilizing internally developed intangible assets.

(3) Severance and benefits costs. These costs are related to the closure of our New Jersey operations and were realized through the first three quarters of 2012. We have engaged in various restructuring and exit activities in 2011 and 2009 that have resulted in costs associated with severance and benefits. Such activity has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each has differed from the others in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope. We do not engage in restructuring and/or exit activities in the ordinary course of business. We believe that it is important to understand these charges and, we believe that investors benefit from excluding these charges from our operating results to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of current operating performance and comparisons to past operating performance.

(4) Income tax-related adjustments. Non-GAAP financial information for the quarter is adjusted for a tax rate equal to our annual estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income. This rate is based on our estimated annual GAAP income tax rate forecast, adjusted to account for discrete tax items and items excluded from GAAP income in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented above. Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income is determined annually and may be re-calculated during the year to take into account events or trends that we believe materially impact the estimated annual rate.

(5) Includes the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

(6) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. We use EBITDA as a performance measure for benchmarking against our peers and competitors. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the medical technology industry. We also use adjusted EBITDA which excludes certain special or non-recurring expenses, net of certain special or non-recurring benefits, detailed in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release, as an internal measure of business operating performance. We believe such financial measures provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance to our current business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA and similarly titled financial measures in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way we calculate such measures and should not be considered as alternative measures of operating or net profit.
