ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

 

On February 10, 2004, Align Technology, Inc. (Align) announced the conclusion of legal arbitration proceedings initiated by Discus Dental Impressions (Discus). Under the final arbitration award, Discus is entitled to a judgment in the amount of $1.00 and reasonable attorney fees and costs in the amount of $2.1 million. In reaching their decision, the arbitrators found that Align’s termination of its marketing agreement with Discus in April of 2002 was wrongful. Because the final decision of the arbitrators has been issued prior to the filing of the Align’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2003, Align will include a charge relating to the final arbitration award in its 2003 financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The updated 2003 financial statements for Align’s fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Align Technology Announces Final Decision of Arbitrators in Discus Dental

Impressions Arbitration

 

Santa Clara, Calif. – February 10, 2004 – Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), the inventor of Invisalign®, a proprietary method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets, announced today the conclusion of legal arbitration proceedings initiated by Discus Dental Impressions (Discus). Under the final arbitration award, Discus is entitled to a judgment in the amount of $1.00 and reasonable attorney fees and costs in the amount of $2.1 million. In reaching their decision, the arbitrators found that Align’s termination of its marketing agreement with Discus in April of 2002 was wrongful. As previously disclosed, because the final decision of the arbitrators has been issued prior to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2003, the Company will include a charge relating to the final arbitration award in its 2003 financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The updated 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements are attached.

 

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.

 

To learn more about Invisalign or to find a certified Invisalign doctor in your area, please visit www.invisalign.com or call 1-800-INVISIBLE.

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.
