Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2012 vs. Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results
Revenue was $247.4 million, an increase of $28.6 million or up 13.1% (and up 23.4% on a constant currency basis). The Company's business segments grew as follows: CAD/CAM Systems increased 25.6% (up 36.5% on a constant currency basis), Treatment Centers increased 13.2% (up 28.0% on a constant currency basis), Imaging Systems increased 6.9% (up 14.0% on a constant currency basis), and Instruments increased 1.0% (up 14.0% on a constant currency basis).
Revenue in the United States increased 34.1%, while revenues outside the United States increased 5.7% (up 19.2% constant currency), with particularly robust performance in the Asia-Pacific region.
Gross profit was $132.1 million, up $21.4 million. Gross profit margin was 53.4% in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012, compared to 50.6% in the prior year. Gross profit margin as a percent of sales was positively impacted by better segment gross profit margin and lower amortization.
Fourth quarter 2012 operating income excluding amortization expense was $57.1 million (operating income of $45.4 million plus amortization expense of $11.7 million), compared to $45.5 million (operating income of $25.0 million plus amortization expense of $13.9 million, plus a $6.6 million non-cash compensation charge) in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $34.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, versus $13.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.71 compared to $0.68 in the prior year quarter.
At September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $151.1 million and total debt of $75.5 million, resulting in net cash of $75.6 million. This compares to net debt of $22.5 million at September 30, 2011.
Jost Fischer, Chairman and CEO of Sirona commented: "We had an outstanding fourth quarter, with every segment of our business growing double digits, constant currency and strong operating income growth. Fiscal 2012 was another year of double digit constant currency revenue growth for Sirona, where we exceeded sales expectations. We posted record revenues and earnings, strengthened our balance sheet, extended our global leadership position and introduced the revolutionary Omnicam. Our 12.6% constant currency revenue growth was particularly noteworthy compared to a record setting fiscal 2011 in which Sirona grew over 16% constant currency."
Mr. Fischer continued: "For the year, Treatment Centers and CAD/CAM led our growth, up 15.1% and 13.9% respectively on a constant currency basis. Revenue growth was particularly strong in non-European international markets, led again by the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. continues to improve for us, accelerating for the third consecutive quarter, ending up a robust 11.4% for the year. Although Germany was down due to a difficult IDS comparison to last year, we had our second best year ever in Germany, and the rest of Europe grew this quarter and for the year, on a constant currency basis. We ended our year with an unprecedented celebration at CEREC 27.5 where we received a standing ovation from a crowd of around 4,000 dental professionals with the launch of the revolutionary Omnicam. With the investment in our global sales and service infrastructure continuing to pay dividends and innovation as our top priority, we expect our momentum to continue into next year as reflected in our revenue guidance."
