  • Second Quarter Revenues Increase 86% Year Over Year; Net Loss Decreases 62% Year Over Year
  • Company to Restate Approximately $9 Million in Prior Period Net Revenue; Will Restate Results for FY 2001, FY 2002, and the First Quarter of FY 2003
  • Restatement Will Have No Effect on Business Operations, Cash Flow or Liquidity

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), the inventor of Invisalign®, a proprietary method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets, today reported record revenues of $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2003.

"We are pleased with the progress we are making," stated Thomas M. Prescott, Align Technology's President and CEO. "The solid results delivered this quarter are driven by adoption and utilization by orthodontists and general practitioner dentists as they, and their patients, experience outstanding results first-hand. Our operating profile continues to improve and we continue to aggressively decrease our net loss. Our focus on the balance sheet is also showing as we increased our cash resources by over $1 million this quarter. We have much to do, yet these results should indicate we are on the right path."

Second Quarter Results

The Company reported total revenues for the second quarter of 2003 of $29.2 million, compared to $23.0 million in the first quarter of 2003, an increase of 27.3 percent, and $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2002, an increase of 86.0 percent. The net loss for the second quarter of 2003, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), was $7.8 million, or a net loss per share of $0.13. This compares to a net loss for the first quarter of 2003 of $10.7 million, or a net loss of $0.19 per share, and a net loss for the second quarter of 2002 of $20.3 million, or a net loss of $0.44 per share. Net loss for the second quarter of 2003 was impacted by a $1.4 million charge to operating expense in connection with sales tax for which the Company decided during the quarter not to pursue collection from its customers. In addition, the net loss was impacted by a $400 thousand charge to cost of revenues related to certain use tax matters. Second quarter of 2002 and first quarter of 2003 GAAP financial data is presented on an as restated basis.

Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2003, which excludes $4.4 million of stock-based compensation, was $3.4 million, or a non-GAAP net loss of $0.06 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $14.5 million, in the second quarter of 2002, which excludes $5.9 million of stock-based compensation, or a non-GAAP net loss of $0.31 per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2003 included the same charge for sales and use tax of $1.8 million included in the GAAP net loss above. Non-GAAP second quarter of 2002 and first quarter of 2003 financial data is presented on an as adjusted basis. The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measurements for net loss for the second quarter of 2003 is set forth below within Align Technology's financial data.

As of June 30, 2003, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $1.1 million to $38.4 million, compared to $37.3 million as of March 31, 2003, without incurring new debt or drawing down on a line of credit.

$9.0 Million Net Revenue Restatement

In conjunction with the Company's adoption during the quarter of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21), which addresses the issue of accounting for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple products or services, the Company also reviewed its revenue recognition policies governing case refinement (a case refinement occurs when Aligners are prescribed by the clinician for patients needing tooth movements beyond the original prescription). Based on this review, the Company will reverse previous loss accruals of approximately $900 thousand and defer net revenues of approximately $9.0 million recorded in prior periods. These revenues will be recognized primarily in the second half of fiscal year 2003 and throughout fiscal year 2004. The Company will restate its financial results for fiscal years 2001 and 2002, including the related interim periods, and the first quarter of 2003. Revenues will be reduced and deferred by approximately $1.6 million, $5.7 million and $1.8 million in fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2002 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, respectively.

The Company stated that these prior period adjustments will have no effect on business operations, cash flow or liquidity.

When the Company began offering case refinement as a finishing tool in June 2001, the Company charged $50 for this product if it was purchased at the beginning of a treatment period, and $250 if it was purchased during the course of treatment. The Company deferred $50 of revenue and accrued any anticipated losses related to the cost of producing and delivering each case refinement sold at the beginning of the treatment period until either the case refinement was utilized or upon case expiration. Over the past two years, the demand for case refinements has been higher than was originally anticipated when the product was first introduced.

In light of the aforementioned changes in product demand and the adoption of EITF 00-21, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment for case refinement revenues under the principals contained in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101), and related guidance. The Company has determined that the revenue amount deferred for each case refinement in prior periods should have been $250 rather than $50, as previously deferred. The Company's restated financial statements will reflect this appropriate deferral amount.

On May 1, 2003, the Company updated its pricing policy to include the future delivery of one case refinement in the price of each case and to offer additional case refinements at a price of $125 each, which the Company believes represents the fair value based on competitive product offerings. Revenue deferrals associated with future case refinements will be $125, which was determined in a manner consistent with the newly adopted rules contained in EITF 00-21. These revenue deferrals will be recognized when the case refinement has been utilized or upon case expiration.

The Company expects to file its amended 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which will include the restated consolidated financial statements for the years 2002 and 2001 and the corresponding interim periods, and its amended 10-Q for the first quarter of 2003 as soon as possible. The Company does not propose to file amendments to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending June 30, 2001 through September 30, 2002, nor their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2001, and accordingly, these filings should be disregarded.

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.

    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 loss, which is adjusted to exclude certain costs and expenses. We believe that our non-GAAP net 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 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.

    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 loss, which is adjusted to exclude certain costs and expenses. We believe that our non-GAAP net 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 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.
