SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Align Technology,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), the inventor of Invisalign(R), a proprietary method of
straightening teeth without wires and brackets, today reported financial results
for the fourth quarter and full year of 2004. Total revenues for the fourth
quarter of 2004 were $43.7 million, compared to $45.8 million in the third
quarter of 2004, a decrease of 4.6 percent, and $36.5 million in the fourth
quarter of 2003, an increase of 19.6 percent. For fiscal year 2004, Align
reported revenues of $172.8 million, compared to $122.7 million for fiscal year
2003, an increase of 40.8 percent.
On December 9, 2004, the Company announced a change to its case refinement
policy that had a one-time effect on fourth quarter 2004 revenues and associated
costs. The impact of this policy change was a decrease in revenues of $1.9
million. The bottom-line impact to GAAP and non-GAAP net profit was a decrease
of $1.9 million.
"We are pleased with our results for 2004," stated Thomas M. Prescott, Align
Technology's President and CEO. "We are in the process of executing on a
multi-year strategy to ensure the people, processes and systems are in place to
build a great company. We have taken steps to help doctors confidently recommend
Invisalign to their patients and to become the treatment that patients will
request. We expect 2005 to be a year in which we continue building a business
that is primed for future growth."
The net profit for the fourth quarter of 2004 as determined under generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") was $1.5 million, or diluted earnings
per share (EPS) of $0.02. This compares to net profit of $3.3 million for the
third quarter of 2004, or EPS of $0.05 per diluted share, and a net profit for
the fourth quarter of 2003 of $452 thousand, or EPS of $0.01 per diluted share.
For fiscal year 2004, the net profit was $9.2 million, or EPS of $0.14 per
diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $20.1 million for fiscal year
2003, or a net loss of $0.35 per diluted share.
The non-GAAP net profit for the fourth quarter of 2004, which excludes $214
thousand of stock-based compensation, was $1.7 million, or EPS of $0.03 per
diluted share. This compares to a non-GAAP net profit of $4.7 million in the
third quarter of 2004, which excludes $1.4 million of stock-based compensation,
or non-GAAP EPS of $0.07 per diluted share. This also compares to a non-GAAP net
profit of $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, which excludes $3.0
million of stock-based compensation, or non-GAAP EPS of $0.05 per diluted share.
For the fiscal year 2004, the non-GAAP net profit, which excludes $5.6 million
of stock-based compensation, was $14.8 million, or non- GAAP EPS of $0.23 per
diluted share. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.6 million for fiscal
year 2003, which excludes $15.0 million of stock-based compensation and $507
thousand of restructuring charges, or a non-GAAP net loss of $0.08 per diluted
share. The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measurements for net loss for
the fourth quarter and fiscal year of 2004 is set forth below within Align
Technology's financial statements.
As of December 31, 2004, Align had $70.0 million in cash, cash equivalents,
and marketable securities, compared to $47.7 million as of December 31, 2003.

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.

NON-GAAP CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

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 profit (loss) prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America.
