Align Technology Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results


SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 17, 2013) - Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN)

  • Net revenues of $164.5 million were up 20.5% year-over-year
  • Invisalign clear aligner net revenues of $153.5 million were up 21.2% year-over-year
  • Invisalign clear aligner shipments of 106.9 thousand were up 15.5% year-over-year
  • GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.42

Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2013 (Q3'13) were $164.5 million. This is compared to net revenues of $163.8 million reported in the second quarter of 2013 (Q2'13) and $136.5 million in the third quarter of 2012 (Q3'12). Q3'13 clear aligner net revenues were $153.5 million, compared to $153.3 million in Q2'13 and $126.7 million in Q3'12. Clear aligner case shipments in the third quarter of 2013 were 106.9 thousand, compared to 106.1 thousand in Q2'13 and 92.5 thousand in Q3'12. Q3'13 scanner and CAD/CAM services net revenues were $11.0 million, compared to $10.5 million in Q2'13 and compared to $9.8 million in Q3'12.

"I'm pleased to report another very good quarter for Align with net revenues, gross margin, and EPS higher than our outlook. Further we achieved record levels of net revenues, Invisalign case volume, and North American iTero scanner volume, enabling us to reach the low end of our long term model for operating margin, while generating strong operating cash flow," said Thomas M. Prescott, Align president and CEO. "The third quarter includes a seasonally slower period in Europe and in North America for our GP dentists, along with the peak of the summer season for teenage orthodontic case starts. We're pleased that patient traffic appears to have remained solid for our North American Orthodontist customers this summer, which resulted in strong sequential and year over year growth for Invisalign volume, especially in the important teenage segment."

Net profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $34.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, which includes $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for a one-time tax benefit related to our fiscal 2012 U.S. federal income taxes. This is compared to net profit of $29.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in Q2'13 and net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.00 per diluted share in Q3'12. In the third quarter last year, net loss included a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $24.7 million, as well as other pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $0.4 million.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $400.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term marketable securities compared to $356.1 million as of December 31, 2012.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, we provide the following GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Detailed reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP information are contained in the tables following the financial tables of this release. Starting in fiscal 2013, amortization of acquired intangible assets is no longer excluded as a non-GAAP measure. This expense is included in GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, operating profit and net profit (loss) for the periods presented below and therefore is no longer a reconciling item.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements and our business outlook, we may use from time to time the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net profit and non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude, as applicable, acquisition and integration related costs, severance and benefit costs, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets 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, on-going 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.

EBITDA after adjustments (6)   $ 45,771   $ 41,412   $ 33,567  

Starting in fiscal 2013, amortization of acquired intangible assets is no longer excluded as a non-GAAP measure. This expense is included in GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, operating profit (loss) and net profit (loss) for the periods presented below and therefore is no longer a reconciling item.

(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) 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 significant severance and benefits costs from restructuring and exit activities and 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.

(3) Impairment of goodwill. These costs represents non-cash write-downs of our goodwill generally related to negative trends in market and economic conditions, termination of relationships with distributors, or the increase in competitive environment related to our Scanner and CAD/CAM Services reporting unit. We remove the impact of these charges to our operating performance to assist in assessing our ability to generate cash from operations. We believe this may be useful information to users of our financial statements; therefore, we have excluded these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance, particularly in terms of liquidity.

(4) Impairment of long-lived assets. These costs represents non-cash write-downs of our long-lived assets generally related to the increase in competitive environment related to our Scanner and CAD/CAM Services reporting unit. As a result of these conditions, we have assessed that our asset group within the reporting unit was not recoverable and therefore recorded an impairment charge. We remove the impact of these charges to our operating performance to assist in assessing our ability to generate cash from operations. We believe this may be useful information to users of our financial statements; therefore, we have excluded these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance, particularly in terms of liquidity.

(5) 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.

(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.
