Long Island City, New York, May 9, 2014 – Sirona (Nasdaq: SIRO), the dental technology leader, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 vs. Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Financial Results

 

Revenue was $282.7 million, an increase of $15.4 million or up 5.7% (and up 2.9% on a constant currency basis). The Company's business segments performed as follows: Instruments increased 13.4% (up 9.3% on a constant currency basis), Imaging Systems increased 5.0% (up 2.8% on a constant currency basis), CAD/CAM Systems increased 5.0% (up 2.5% on a constant currency basis), and Treatment Centers increased 4.6% (up 0.8% on a constant currency basis).

 

Revenue in the United States increased 4.5%, and revenues outside the United States increased 6.2% (up 2.3% constant currency). U.S. revenues benefited from continued demand for our Imaging and CAD/CAM products. Growth was driven by new user demand for our CAD/CAM products. Sales growth in international markets was driven by Asia Pacific, led by Japan.

 

Gross profit was $151.5 million, up $6.8 million. Gross profit margin was 53.6% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014, compared to 54.1% in the prior year. The change in gross profit margin as a percent of sales was mainly driven by foreign exchange impacts as well as product and regional sales mix.

 

Net income attributable to Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. for the second quarter of 2014 was $37.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, versus $31.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.80 compared to $0.75 in the prior year quarter, or an increase of 6.3%.

calculated on a GAAP basis is provided in the attached table.

 

At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $255.3 million and total debt of $79.6 million, resulting in net cash of $175.7 million. This compares to net cash of $135.4 million at December 31, 2013.

 

Jeffrey Slovin, President and CEO of Sirona commented: “During the second quarter, Sirona grew 6.9% in local currencies, on top of 16.7% growth in the second quarter last year. Our strong results were driven by the U.S. and Asia Pacific. Japan performed particularly well ahead of a planned tax increase.”

 

Mr. Slovin continued: “Treatment Centers and CAD/CAM each had record quarters. Increased new user demand drove CAD/CAM growth of 7.6%, in local currencies, on top of 23% growth in the second quarter last year. For the second quarter in a row, Instruments was our fastest growing segment, up 12.9% in local currencies.”

 

Mr. Slovin added: “Continuous innovation combined with our world class sales and service infrastructure is the engine that drives Sirona. Our product pipeline is full of exciting new products with compelling advancements, some of which will be introduced in the near future.”

 

Fiscal 2014 Guidance

 

Management reiterates guidance of FY14 constant currency revenue growth of 4% to 6% and non-GAAP adjusted EPS^* in the range of $3.60 to $3.70 (reflecting growth of approximately 6% to 9%).

** These items reflect the gains and losses actually incurred year-to-date. We do not predict future exchange rate developments in our guidance. There is a small tax impact, but the amounts round to zero.

 

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements and our business outlook, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) non-GAAP adjusted net income, and (ii) non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share, which exclude, as applicable, amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of intangible and tangible assets related to past business combinations gain/loss on foreign currency transactions, gain/loss on derivative instruments and any related tax effects and to the extent relevant in a particular period, any other cash or non-cash items that management does not view as indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Also set forth above under the heading “FORWARD-LOOKING” are reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

 

Management recognizes that the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations, including the fact that they might not be comparable with similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies and that management must exercise judgment in determining which types of charges and other items should be excluded from its non-GAAP financial measures. Management currently compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 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 Sirona’s operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes the impact of acquisition-related intangible depreciation and amortization in order to compare our underlying financial performance to prior periods, certain charges related to currency revaluation of assets and liabilities that do not reflect our period-to-period core operating performance, and to the extent relevant in a particular period, any other cash or non-cash items that management does not view as indicative of its ongoing operating performance. 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.

Constant Currency: We have included certain revenue information in this press release on a constant currency basis. This information is a non-GAAP financial measure. We additionally present revenue on a constant currency basis because we believe it facilitates a comparison of our operating results from period to period without regard to changes resulting solely from fluctuations in currency rates.

 

Sirona calculates constant currency revenue growth by comparing current period revenues to prior period revenues with both periods converted at only the U.S. Dollar/Euro average foreign exchange rates for each month of the current period.

 

Sirona also calculates local constant currency revenue growth by comparing current period revenues to prior period revenues with all currencies for both periods converted at the prior period monthly exchange rates.

 

Our forecasted 2014 constant currency net revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of U.S Dollar/Euro exchange rate fluctuations due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates. Therefore, we do not provide a reconciliation of these measures.
