Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 (Q4 12) were $142.8 million. This is compared to $136.5 million reported in the third quarter of 2012 (Q3 12) and compared to $128.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2011 (Q4 11). Q4 12 net revenues include the release of $4.9 million of revenue previously deferred for Invisalign case refinement. Q4 12 Invisalign clear aligner revenue was $132.8 million, compared to $126.7 million in Q3 12 and $118.9 million in Q4 11. Q4 12 Invisalign clear aligner case shipments were 90.5 thousand, compared to 92.5 thousand in Q3 12 and 82.6 thousand in Q4 11. Q4 12 scanner and CAD/CAM services revenue was $10.0 million, compared to $9.8 million in Q3 12 and compared to $10.0 million in Q4 11.

Align defers revenue for Invisalign case refinement, which is an optional finishing tool used to adjust a patient's teeth to the desired final position that is generally ordered in the last stages of orthodontic treatment. In Q4 12, we determined that the actual usage rate was lower than our estimate and as a result we released $4.9 million of revenue deferred for case refinement.

For fiscal 2012 (FY 12), record net revenues of $560.0 million increased 16.7 percent from $479.7 million reported for fiscal 2011 (FY 11). Record FY 12 Invisalign clear aligner net revenues of $516.6 million increased 14.4% from $451.7 million reported for FY 11. FY 12 Invisalign clear aligner case shipments of 363.5 thousand increased 17.5% from 309.3 thousand reported for FY 11. FY 12 scanner and CAD/CAM services net revenues was $43.4 million compared to $28.0 million in FY 11. FY 11 scanner and CAD/CAM services net revenues reflect eight months of sales resulting from the acquisition of Cadent Holdings, Inc., which closed on April 29, 2011.

“I’m very pleased to report a solid fourth quarter which culminated in a record fiscal year for with over 17 percent growth for Invisalign volume”, said Thomas M. Prescott, Align president and CEO. “Despite a soft start this quarter in North America for Align and most of the dental industry, Invisalign case submissions rebounded in December and this trend has continued into the first quarter of 2013. Overall, we’ve seen an uptick in North American case receipts -- reflecting increased patient traffic in our customers’ offices, as well as traction from customer engagement and practice development activities. We’ve also seen increased customer interest in Invisalign related to the launch of SmartTrack, our next generation aligner material which is commercially available now.” Prescott continued, “We had many significant accomplishments in 2012 that contributed to our growth, including entry into new market segments with the launch of Invisalign Express 5 and Invisalign i7 and expansion into new emerging country markets. We are starting off the new year with several new products and feature enhancements including the new iTero scanner, Invisalign Outcome Simulator, and Invisalign G4 enhancements which will contribute to our growth throughout the year.”

Net profit for Q4 12 of $9.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, includes the release of $4.9 million of revenue previously deferred for Invisalign case refinement. This is compared to net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.00 per diluted share in Q3 12 and net profit of $20.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in Q4 11. Net profit for Q4 12 includes a goodwill impairment charge of $11.9 million resulting from finalizing our Q3 12 preliminary estimate and a pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.0 million with a total income tax-related adjustment of $0.2 million. Net loss for Q3 12 includes a preliminary estimate pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $24.7 million, 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 Q4 11 includes pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $1.1 million, pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.3 million, pre-tax severance and benefit costs of $0.8 million with a total tax effect of $0.7 million.

In Q3 12, we determined that there were sufficient indicators of a potential impairment to the goodwill attributed to the scanner and CAD/CAM services reporting unit, therefore we conducted step one of the goodwill impairment analysis and concluded that the goodwill was impaired. Based on our preliminary step two analysis, we recorded an estimated goodwill impairment charge of $24.7 million in Q3 12. In Q4 12, we finalized step two of our analysis and recorded an additional goodwill impairment charge of $11.9 million.

Net profit for FY 12 was $58.7 million or $0.71 per diluted share and includes pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $36.6 million, pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $1.3 million, pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $4.4 million, pre-tax severance and benefit costs of $0.8 million with a total tax effect of $4.9 million. This compares to net profit for FY 11 of $66.7 million, or $0.83 per diluted share and includes pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs of $10.0 million, pre-tax amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.2 million, pre-tax severance and benefit costs of $1.1 million with a total tax effect of $2.9 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 Q4 12 was $22.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. This is compared to non-GAAP net profit of $23.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in Q3 12 and non-GAAP net profit of $23.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in Q4 11. Non-GAAP net profit for FY 12 was $96.7 million, or $1.17 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net profit for FY 11 of $78.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (Q1 13), Align Technology expects net revenues to be in a range of $146.0 million to $150.5 million. Invisalign clear aligner case shipments for Q1 13 are expected to be in a range of 95.0 to 97.5 thousand cases, which reflect a year-over-year increase of 11.4% to 14.3%. Earnings per diluted share for Q1 13 is expected to be in a range of $0.21 to $0.23. Starting in fiscal year 2013, amortization of acquired intangible assets will no longer be excluded as a non-GAAP measure. The expense is now included in all periods presented, therefore, excluding it as a non-GAAP measure is no longer meaningful in period-to-period comparisons. A more comprehensive business outlook is available following the financial tables of this release.

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, impairment of goodwill, 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.

(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 significant severance and benefits costs 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) Impairment of goodwill. This cost represents non-cash write-downs of our goodwill. During the third quarter of 2012, we determined that there were sufficient indicators such as the termination of our distribution agreement with Straumann for iTero intra-oral scanners as well as the market conditions and business trends within our Scanners and CAD/CAM Services reporting unit for an impairment of goodwill. 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 and 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) Includes the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

(7) 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.
