Long Island City, New York, August 8, 2014 – Sirona (Nasdaq: SIRO), the dental technology leader, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

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

 

Revenue was $299.7 million, an increase of $16.5 million or up 5.8% (and up 2.5% on a constant currency basis). The Company's business segments performed as follows: Instruments increased 14.0% (up 8.9% on a constant currency basis), Imaging Systems increased 8.9% (up 6.1% on a constant currency basis), CAD/CAM Systems increased 6.2% (up 3.5% on a constant currency basis), and Treatment Centers decreased 4.7% (down 9.3% on a constant currency basis).

 

Revenue in the United States increased 8.2%, and revenues outside the United States increased 4.7% (down 0.3% 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 particularly strong in Asia Pacific, led by China and Japan.

 

Gross profit was $167.6 million, up $16.1 million. Gross profit margin was 55.9% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014, compared to 53.5% in the prior year. The increase in gross profit margin as a percent of sales was driven by improvements in product and regional sales mix and cost reductions more than offsetting foreign exchange headwinds.

 

Net income attributable to Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. for the third quarter of 2014 was $51.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, versus $40.6 million, or $0.72 per diluted share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2014 was $0.99 compared to $0.91 in the prior year quarter, or an

increase of 8.2%. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to earnings per share calculated on a GAAP basis is provided in the attached table.

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $297.0 million and total debt of $79.5 million, resulting in net cash of $217.5 million. This compares to net cash of $175.7 million at March 31, 2013.

 

Jeffrey Slovin, President and CEO of Sirona commented: “During the third quarter, Sirona grew 4.5% in local currencies, on top of 18.3% growth in the third quarter last year. Our strong results were geographically diversified, with the U.S. and Asia Pacific leading the way. CAD/CAM, Imaging and Instruments each had record quarters and posted gross margin improvement. Increased new user demand drove CAD/CAM growth of 5.8%, in local currencies, on top of 25.1% growth in the third quarter last year.”

 

Mr. Slovin continued: “During the quarter we launched our new INTEGO Treatment Center and CEREC 4.3 software, which have both been well received by the marketplace. These products, along with our full product pipeline, underscore Sirona’s commitment to continuously innovate. Leveraging our strong brand equity and world class sales and service infrastructure, we expect to increase the penetration rates of our digital dental solutions for years to come.”

 

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%).

FORWARD-LOOKING

 

Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS Guidance (unaudited)

 

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, 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.

 

 

FORWARD-LOOKING

 

Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS Guidance (unaudited)

 

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.
