GENERAL

 

THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

 

Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. (“Sirona,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is the leading global manufacturer of high-quality, technologically-advanced dental equipment, and is focused on developing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative systems and solutions for dentists around the world. We offer a broad range of products across all major segments of the dental technology market including CEREC and our other CAD/CAM systems, digital intra oral and 2D and 3D panoramic imaging systems, treatment centers, and instruments. The Company acquired Schick Technologies, Inc. (“Schick”) in 2006, in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition (the “Exchange”), further expanding our global presence and product offerings and strengthening our research and development capabilities. Sirona has served equipment dealers and dentists worldwide for more than 130 years. The Company’s headquarters is located in Long Island City, New York with its primary facility located in Bensheim, Germany, as well as other support, manufacturing, assembling, and sales and service facilities located around the globe.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All amounts are reported in millions of U.S. Dollars ($), except per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed.

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year is October 1 to September 30.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include, after eliminating inter-company transactions and balances, the accounts of Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the interim period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. The year-end consolidated financial data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-Q

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as applicable to interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or future periods.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional currency for foreign operations has been determined in all cases to be the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars using weighted average exchange rates for the period. Resulting adjustments are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in other than the functional currency are reflected in the consolidated statements of income in Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, except for intra-group transactions of a long-term nature, which are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED

 

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either (i) not applicable, (ii) are expected to have a minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements, or (iii) their adoption had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ADOPTED

 

There were no ASUs adopted during the current period, which had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOT YET ADOPTED

 

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such an arrangement contains a software license, the software license element of that arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If such an arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance permits either prospective or retrospective adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet selected an adoption method.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires an entity to present such costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability on the balance sheet rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Currently, we do not expect a material impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides updated guidance on revenue recognition principles that will supersede most current conceptual and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and thus enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across

AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-Q

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The key principle of this updated guidance is that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount reflecting the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance prescribes a five-step analysis of transactions to determine how and when to recognize revenue. In addition, the new guidance provides for capitalization of certain costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract with a customer as well as enhanced disclosure requirements to enable a better understanding of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date to apply to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018, with early adoption as of the original effective date permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method or adoption date and are evaluating the expected impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of a dental company. The results of its operations will be included in the consolidated financial statements from this date. The fair value of total consideration transferred for this acquisition totaled $18.6 million, consisting entirely of cash. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill acquired of $15.8 million. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation for this acquisition by the end of the current fiscal year.

 

 

5

EMPLOYEE SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires that all share based compensation arrangements, including grants of stock option awards to employees, be recognized based on the estimated fair value of the share-based payment award.

 

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

Stock options, restricted stock shares, restricted stock units (“RSU”), and performance-based stock units (“PSU”) have been issued to employees, directors, and consultants under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan provided for granting in total up to 4,550,000 stock options, incentive stock, restricted stock shares, RSU’s, and PSU’s. The 2006 Plan received stockholder approval at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 27, 2007, and was amended on February 25, 2009. At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 25, 2015, stockholders approved the Company’s new 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) to replace the 2006 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for granting in total up to 6,825,000 stock options, incentive shares, restricted stock shares, RSU’s, PSU’s, and other forms of equity-based awards to employees, directors, consultants, and advisers. Shares under the new 2015 Plan were first registered pursuant to a registration statement dated April 2, 2015, at which time these shares became available for grant and any remaining shares available under the 2006 Plan were nullified. To cover the exercise of options and vesting of RSU’s and PSU’s, the Company generally issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. As of June 30, 2015, 6,804,157 shares were available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.

 

Restricted and Performance-Based Stock Units

 

In the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 139,387 RSU’s and 37,004 PSU’s with an average value of $87.29, representing the average of closing prices of the Company’s common stock at the grant dates.

SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-Q

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

RSU’s generally vest in annual tranches over a period of four to five years, while PSU’s generally vest after three years. The PSU’s were granted to certain Company executives and vest three years from the date of the grant provided the Company achieves performance targets specified in the grant. RSU’s and PSU’s do not have voting rights or rights to dividends prior to vesting. The value of each RSU and PSU grant is determined by the closing price at the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for the entire award is recognized straight-line over the service period of the last separately vesting tranche of the award.

 

Stock Options

 

In the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 160,262 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $86.00 and weighted average fair value of $22.90 at the grant date. Grants generally vest over a period of four to five years. All grants expire ten years after the date of the grant.

 

The fair value of options granted under the 2006 Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions in the following table. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Sirona’s stock at the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock price volatility. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the day of grant and has a term equal to the expected life of the option. The expected life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding based on anticipated grantee behavior. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history of not paying regular dividends in the past and the Company’s current intention not to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Black-Scholes Assumptions		Nine months ended		Year ended
		June 30,		September 30,
		2015		2014
Expected Volatility		26.77%		33.27%

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING STRATEGIES

 

RISKS AND EXPOSURE

 

Our operations are exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, these risks are managed through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rates on its variable interest rate debt. In order to manage this risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, when appropriate, based upon market conditions.

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

 

Foreign Currency Exposure

 

Although the U.S. Dollar is Sirona’s reporting currency, it conducts its business in many currencies, and its local functional currency varies depending on the country of operation, which exposes the Company to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate movements. The Company hedges certain foreign currency transaction exposure through foreign exchange forward contracts.

 

CASH FLOW HEDGES

 

Interest Rate

 

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its debt's variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. Interest rate swaps have been established for 100% of the interest for the Facility A Term Loan under the Senior Facilities Agreement until November 2016. The interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR element of interest payable on 100% of the principal amount of the Facility A Term Loan for defined three month interest periods over the entire term of the loan. The defined interest rates fixed for each three month interest period range from 1.270% to 1.285%. Settlement of the swaps is required on a quarterly basis. These swaps are designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815. These instruments were immaterial for all periods under report. The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts infrequently as they are only used to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt instruments.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The Euro is the functional currency for many of Sirona’s subsidiaries, including its primary sales and manufacturing operations in Germany. During the periods under review, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate fluctuated significantly, thereby impacting Sirona’s financial results. In order to hedge portions of the transactional exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates, based on forecasted and firmly-committed cash flows, Sirona enters into foreign exchange forward contracts (currently: USD, AUD, and JPY). These forward foreign currency contracts are intended to reduce short-term effects of changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into forward contracts that are considered to be economic hedges but which are not considered hedging instruments under ASC 815. As of June 30, 2015, these contracts had notional amounts totaling $36.1 million. These agreements are relatively short-term (generally not exceeding six months).

 

The fair value carrying amount of the Company's derivative instruments at June 30, 2015 is described in Note 14 Fair Value Measurements.

 

The following tables summarize the impact of gains and losses from the fair value changes of the Company’s derivative instruments reported in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods under report:

INCOME TAXES

 

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2015, an estimated effective tax rate of 23.0% has been applied (prior year period: 23.5%). The income tax provision for the first nine months ended June 30, 2015, was $42.6 million (prior year period: $41.4 million). The actual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2014 was 23.0%.

 

The Company's effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period, and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations, changes in the mix of earnings amongst jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates (including as a result of business acquisitions and dispositions), changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns, tax planning initiatives, tax characteristics of income, as well as the timing and deductibility of expenses for tax purposes. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of lower statutory tax rates on foreign earnings at the Company’s operations outside of the United States. The distribution of lower-taxed foreign earnings to the U.S. would generally increase the Company's effective tax rate.

 

With limited exception, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for tax returns filed with respect to periods prior to fiscal year 2009.

 

The Company makes no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes on undistributed foreign earnings because as of June 30, 2015, it remained management’s intention to continue to indefinitely reinvest such earnings in foreign operations. In making this determination, the Company also evaluates its expected cash requirements in the United States. These earnings relate to ongoing operations and, as of June 30, 2015, the approximate amount of undistributed foreign earnings amounted to $661 million. Because of the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits as well as other factors, it is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

SEGMENT RESULTS

 

The following tables reflect the results of the Company’s reportable segments under the Company’s management reporting system. The segment performance measure used to monitor segment performance is gross profit (‘‘Segment Performance Measure’’) excluding the impact of the acquisition of control of the Sirona business by Sirona Holdings Luxco S.C.A. (“Luxco”) – the former controlling shareholder, a Luxembourg-based holding entity owned by funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners (“MDP”); Beecken Petty O’Keefe and management of Sirona through a leveraged buyout transaction on June 30, 2005 (the “MDP Transaction”); and the Exchange. This measure is considered by management to better reflect the performance of each segment as it eliminates the need to allocate centrally incurred costs and significant purchase accounting impacts that the Company does not believe are representative of the performance of the segments. Furthermore, the Company monitors performance geographically by region. As the Company manages its business on both a product and a geographical basis, U.S. GAAP requires segmental disclosure based on product information.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the total results of operations of the Company’s business segments under management reporting to the consolidated financial statements. The differences shown between management reporting and U.S. GAAP for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are due to the impact of purchase accounting and certain other corporate items. These effects are not included in the segment performance measure as the Company does not believe these to be representative of the performance of each segment.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and the credit risk of the Company and counterparties to the arrangement.

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes and prioritizes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and certain liabilities related to business acquisitions primarily resulting from earn-out features. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturity and nature of these items. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps is determined by the estimated cash flows of those contracts and swaps. The fair values of the acquisition-related liabilities are based on discounted valuations of commercial assumptions made by Company management of stipulations governed in the underlying purchase agreements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Except as otherwise indicated or unless context otherwise requires, the terms “Sirona”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to provide the reader of our financial statements with a narrative, from the perspective of our management, on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the comparisons presented in this MD&A refer to the same period in the prior year.

 

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth in “Operations Review” in this Item and elsewhere in this Report.

 

All amounts in this section are reported in millions of U.S. Dollars ($), except as otherwise disclosed.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain income statement information is presented on an adjusted basis. Such information represents non-GAAP financial measures. Sirona supplementally presents this information because it believes doing so facilitates a better comparison of its operating results from period to period without regard to certain significant items, which management believes do not reflect Sirona’s operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. For a listing and definitions of our current non-GAAP financial measures as well as a reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within “Operations Review” in this MD&A.

 

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF SIRONA’S BUSINESS AND PERFORMANCE

 

Business

 

Sirona is the leading global manufacturer of high-quality, technologically-advanced dental equipment, and is focused on developing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative systems and solutions for dentists around the world. The Company is uniquely positioned to benefit from several trends in the global dental industry, such as technological innovation, increased use of CAD/CAM systems in restorative dentistry, the shift to digital imaging, favorable demographic trends, and growing patient focus on dental health and cosmetic appearance. The Company’s headquarters is in Long Island City, New York, and its largest facility is located in Bensheim, Germany.

 

Sirona has a long tradition of innovation in the dental industry. The Company introduced the first dental electric drill over 130 years ago, the first dental X-ray unit approximately 100 years ago, the first dental computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system 29 years ago, and numerous other significant innovations in dentistry. Sirona continues to make significant investments in research and development (“R&D”), and its track record of innovative and profitable new products continues today. Sirona has the broadest product portfolio in the industry and is capable of fully outfitting and integrating a dental practice.

 

The majority of our revenues derive from the manufacture and sale of dental equipment. In addition, we also provide sales and after-sales service support to dentists and distributors through our growing sales and service infrastructure.

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

 

Sirona manages its commercial operations on both a product and geographic basis and maintains four segments: 1) Dental CAD/CAM Systems, 2) Imaging Systems, 3) Treatment Centers, and 4) Instruments. Products from each category are marketed in all geographical sales regions.

 

Our business has grown substantially in the past several fiscal years, driven by numerous high-tech product introductions, a continued expansion of our global sales and service infrastructure, and strong relationships with key distribution partners, namely Patterson in the U.S. and Henry Schein in Europe.

 

 

Current Performance at a Glance

 

The following is a synopsis of our performance for the nine months ended June 30, 2015:

 

 

·

Revenue: For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, reported revenue decreased 2.8%. On a Local Currency basis, total revenues were up 7.1% over the prior-year period (prior year period: up 4.5% Local Currency). We continued to see growing demand for products across all segments. CAD/CAM gained momentum in Europe. Instruments continued to benefit from our expanded state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bensheim, Germany, while Treatment Centers saw an increase in demand, especially for our standard and comfort lines. Geographically, Local Currency growth was driven by International Markets.

·

Operating Income: Operating income increased $13.4 million, or 7.5%, compared to the same period last year. Highlights: Gross profit decreased by $0.5 million, primarily as the result of the decrease in reported revenues. Gross profit margin benefitted from foreign exchange developments and improved to 56.2% (prior year period: 54.7%). We continue to invest in the expansion of our sales and service infrastructure in key markets and in research and development for new products and services; however, the benefits from foreign exchange translation more than offset these investments. As a result, SG&A expenses decreased $9.4 million, while R&D expenses were below the prior-year period by $6.2 million.

 

·

Net Income: Net income attributable to Sirona shareholders was $140.8 million, an increase of $7.8 million, or 5.9%, over the prior year.

 

·

Cash Position: At June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $422.6 million and total debt of $80.4 million, resulting in net cash of $342.2 million, or an increase of $38.9 million compared to September 30, 2014.

 

Significant Factors Affecting Our Operating Performance

 

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

 

Fluctuations in exchange rates impact Sirona’s financial results. Although the U.S. Dollar is Sirona’s reporting currency, Sirona conducts its business in many currencies, and its functional currencies vary depending on the country of operation. As a percent of total revenues, sales and operating expenses⁽¹⁾ in Euro, U.S. Dollar, and all other currencies⁽²⁾ for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately as follows:

 

 

(1)

cost of goods sold, SG&A, R&D, and other operating expenses

(2)

most importantly: Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Chinese Yuan Renminbi, and Brazilian Real

 

The single most significant influencing factor is the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate. During the periods under review, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate has fluctuated significantly. The following table presents the relevant U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate information for the period(s) under report:

(3) Lowest daily exchange rate for the period.

Although Sirona does not apply hedge accounting for foreign currency derivatives, it has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to help mitigate foreign currency exposure. As these agreements are short-term (generally not exceeding six months) and do not cover all underlying exposures, continued fluctuation in exchange rates could materially affect Sirona’s results of operations.

 

Loans made to Sirona under the Senior Facilities Agreement entered into on November 14, 2011, are denominated in the functional currency of the respective borrowers. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion of our Senior Facilities Agreement. However, intra-group loans and other intra-group monetary assets and liabilities are often denominated in the functional currency of only one of the parties to the agreements. Where intra-group loans are of a long-term investment nature, the potential fluctuations in exchange rates are reflected within other comprehensive income, whereas exchange rate fluctuations for short-term intra-group loans and other short-term intra-group transactions are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. These fluctuations may be significant in any period.

 

The MDP Transaction and the Exchange

 

The assets and liabilities acquired in the MDP Transaction and the Exchange were partially stepped up to fair value, and a related deferred tax liability was recorded. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including IPR&D, which were expensed at the date of closing of the MDP Transaction and the Exchange, was allocated to goodwill and is subject to periodic impairment testing.

 

Sirona’s cost of goods sold, R&D, SG&A expense and operating results have been and will continue to be materially affected by depreciation and amortization costs resulting from the step-up to fair value of Sirona’s assets and liabilities.

 

For more detailed information concerning factors affecting our operating results, please refer to “Significant Factors that Affect Sirona’s Results of Operations” in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Revenue

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, revenue was $306.1 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 2.1% (increased 15.2% Local Currency). Local Currency growth of 15.2% was offset by a 13.1% unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our reported revenue. This was driven by the continued weakness of the Euro and other major currencies (such as Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Japanese Yen, etc.) during the quarter and impacted all segments. Revenue developed by segment and geographically as follows:

 

By segment:

 

·

CAD/CAM Systems (increased 11.4% - up 24.5% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $121.8 million (prior year period: $109.3 million), an increase of $12.5 million reported compared to an increase of $26.8 million in Local Currency. Overall revenue growth was led by Europe.

 

·

Imaging Systems (decreased 4.9% - up 3.0% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $103.7 million (prior year period: $109.1 million), a decrease of $5.4 million reported compared to an increase of $3.3 million in Local Currency. Local Currency revenue growth was driven by international markets, particularly the Asia-Pacific region.

 

·

Treatment Centers (increased 5.1% - up 26.2% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $53.8 million (prior year period: $51.2 million), an increase of $2.6 million reported compared to an increase of $13.4 million in Local Currency. Our Treatment Center segment witnessed a very strong increase in demand in the current quarter, led by our standard and comfort lines in Europe.

 

·

Instruments (decreased 11.0% - up 7.2% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $26.8 million (prior year period: $30.1 million), a decrease of $3.3 million reported compared to an increase of $2.2 million in Local Currency. Local Currency revenue growth was driven by international markets as a result of strong demand for our hygiene products and handpieces.

 

Geographically:

 

·

U.S. (decreased 0.2%): Overall, U.S. revenues were flat compared to the prior-year period, with shifts in momentum from Imaging to CAD/CAM products.

 

·

International Markets (increased 3.3% - increased 23.4% Local Currency): Local Currency revenues grew significantly across all regions, especially in Europe, while reported revenues were significantly impacted by the weakness of the Euro and other major currencies compared to the prior-year period.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, cost of goods sold was $131.5 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 0.5%. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales decreased to 43.0% (prior year period: 44.1%). Cost of goods sold benefited mainly from the weakness of the Euro during the period. Amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets, included in cost of goods sold, declined by $2.2 million compared to the prior-year period.

 

Gross Profit

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, gross profit was $174.6 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 4.2%, compared to an increase in revenue of $6.4 million, or 2.1%. Gross profit margin was 57.0% (prior year

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

 

period: 55.9%). The 1.1% increase in the gross profit margin was mainly due to the abovementioned favorable foreign exchange effects of 2.7%, which more than offset the 1.6% negative operational impact.

 

By segment, gross profit and gross profit margin developed in the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 as follows:

 

·

CAD/CAM Systems: Segment gross profit was $85.4 million (prior year period: $75.3 million), an increase of $10.1 million compared to an increase of $12.5 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 70.1% (prior year period: 68.9%). The 1.2% improvement was primarily due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

·

Imaging Systems: Segment gross profit was $61.2 million (prior year period: $65.8 million), a decrease of $4.6 million compared to a decrease of $5.4 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 59.0% (prior year period: 60.3%). The 1.3% decline was primarily due to unfavorable product mix, which was partially offset by benefits from the weakening of the Euro.

 

·

Treatment Centers: Segment gross profit was $22.4 million (prior year period: $19.8 million), an increase of $2.6 million compared to an increase of $2.6 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 41.6% (prior year period: 38.7%). The 2.9% improvement was driven by improved product mix, with strong sales of our comfort line and our new Intego treatment center.

 

·

Instruments: Segment gross profit was $10.0 million (prior year period: $12.9 million), a decrease of $2.9 million compared to a decrease of $3.3 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 37.3% (prior year period: 42.9%). The 5.6% decline was largely the result of unfavorable product/regional mix.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, SG&A expense was $84.0 million, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 4.7%.

 

The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily driven by the weakness of the Euro and other major currencies. We continue to invest in the expansion of our sales and service infrastructure in growth markets.

 

Research and Development

 

R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $12.9 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 22.3%.

 

The decrease was mostly driven by the weakness of the Euro and timing of research projects. As a percentage of revenue, R&D expense was 4.2% (prior year period: 5.5%).

 

Net Other Operating Income (Loss)

 

Net other operating income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 was as follows:

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Transactions and Derivative Instruments

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The loss on foreign currency transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $5.1 million (prior year period: gain of $2.2 million). The components of these results are as follows:

 

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Transactions		Three months ended

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Transactions	$	(5.1)	$	2.2
(1) For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the gain (loss) on other foreign currency transactions related to the revaluation of short-term assets and liabilities and realized transactions, both of which were primarily impacted by the fluctuations between the Yen/Euro, Euro/U.S. Dollar, and Real/Euro exchange rates.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the gain on derivative instruments was $4.0 million (prior year period: loss of $0.5 million). In both periods, the results related to foreign currency hedges.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, Sirona recorded a profit before income taxes of $77.2 million (prior year period: $67.7 million), an income tax provision of $17.8 million (prior year period: $15.9 million), and an estimated effective tax rate applied for the quarter of 23.0% (prior year period: 23.5%). The estimated effective tax rate is primarily driven by the expected mix of earnings across different jurisdictions.

Revenue

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, revenue was $856.4 million, a decrease of $24.7 million, or 2.8% (increased 7.1% Local Currency). Local Currency growth of 7.1% was offset by a 9.9% unfavorable foreign exchange impact on our reported revenue. This was driven by the weakening of the Euro and other major currencies (such as Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Japanese Yen, etc.) during the period under report and impacted all segments. Revenue developed by segment and geographically as follows:

 

By segment:

 

·

CAD/CAM Systems (decreased 0.7% - up 8.6% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $321.8 million (prior year period: $324.0 million), a decrease of $2.2 million reported compared to an increase of $27.8 million in Local Currency. Growth was driven by increased demand in international markets.

 

·

Imaging Systems (decreased 3.5% - up 2.8% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $292.4 million (prior year period: $302.9 million), a decrease of $10.5 million reported compared to an increase of $8.5 million in Local Currency revenues. Local Currency revenue growth was driven by the U.S., where we continue to experience increasing demand for our 3D product lines.

 

·

Treatment Centers (decreased 3.4% - up 11.9% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $157.0 million (prior year period: $162.6 million), a decrease of $5.6 million reported compared to an increase of $19.3 million in Local Currency. Our Treatment Center segment continued to witness steady increase in demand across all product lines. Segment growth was especially strong in Europe.

 

·

Instruments (decreased 7.0% - up 7.5% Local Currency): Segment revenues were $85.2 million (prior year period: $91.6 million), a decrease of $6.4 million reported compared to an increase of $6.9 million in Local Currency. Instruments continued to experience strong growth. Local Currency revenue growth was driven by international markets as a result of strong demand for our hygiene products and handpieces.

 

Geographically:

 

·

U.S. (increased 2.8%): Revenues benefited primarily from strong demand for our Imaging products.

 

·

International Markets (decreased 5.4% - increased 9.1% Local Currency): Reported revenues were negatively impacted by the weakening of the Euro and other major currencies by 14.5%. Treatment Centers and CAD/CAM Systems were the main drivers of our 9.1% Local Currency growth in International Markets.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, cost of goods sold was $375.1 million, a decrease of $24.2 million, or 6.1%. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales decreased to 43.8% (prior year period: 45.3%). Cost of goods sold benefitted mainly from the weakening of the Euro during the period. Amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets, included in cost of goods sold, declined by $6.6 million compared to the prior-year period.

 

Gross Profit

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, gross profit was $481.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.1%, compared to a decrease in revenue of $24.7 million, or 2.8%. Gross profit margin was 56.2% (prior year period: 54.7%). The 1.5% increase in the gross profit margin was mainly due to the abovementioned favorable foreign exchange effects of 2.4%, which more than offset the 0.9% negative operational impact.

By segment, gross profit and gross profit margin developed in the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as follows:

 

·

CAD/CAM Systems: Segment gross profit was $225.0 million (prior year period: $221.6 million), an increase of $3.4 million compared to a decrease of $2.2 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 69.9% (prior year period: 68.4%). The 1.5% improvement was primarily due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

·

Imaging Systems: Segment gross profit was $170.4 million (prior year period: $177.0 million), a decrease of $6.6 million compared to a decrease of $10.5 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 58.3% (prior year period: 58.4%). The 0.1% decline was primarily due to unfavorable product mix, which was partially offset by benefits from the weakness of the Euro.

 

·

Treatment Centers: Segment gross profit was $65.2 million (prior year period: $64.5 million), an increase of $0.7 million compared to a decrease of $5.6 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 41.5% (prior year period: 39.7%). The 1.8% improvement was driven by improved product mix, with strong sales of our standard and comfort lines.

 

·

Instruments: Segment gross profit was $33.7 million (prior year period: $37.6 million), a decrease of $3.9 million compared to a decrease of $6.4 million in reported segment revenue. Segment gross profit margin was 39.6% (prior year period: 41.0%). The 1.4% decline was primarily the result of unfavorable product/regional mix.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, SG&A expense was $253.9 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 3.6%.

 

The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily driven by the weakening of the Euro and other major currencies. SG&A expense for the period included $3.1 million of marketing expenditures for the International Dental Show (“IDS”) that was held in March in Germany. We continue to investment in the expansion of our sales and service infrastructure in growth markets.

 

Research and Development

 

R&D expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, was $41.9 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 12.9%.

 

The decrease was mainly driven by the weakening of the Euro. As a percentage of revenue, R&D expense was 4.9% (prior year period: 5.5%).

 

Net Other Operating Income

 

Net other operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was as follows:

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Transactions and Derivative Instruments

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The loss on foreign currency transactions for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $6.4 million (prior year period: gain of $1.6 million). The components of these results are as follows:

Income Tax Provision

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, Sirona recorded a profit before income taxes of $185.2 million (prior year period: $176.1 million), an income tax provision of $42.6 million (prior year period: $41.4 million), and an estimated effective tax rate applied for the first six months of 23.0% (prior year period: 23.5%). The estimated effective tax rate is primarily driven by the expected mix of earnings across different jurisdictions.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, operations review, and our business outlook, we currently use the following non-GAAP financial measures (unaudited):

 

·

Local Currency,

·

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, and

·

Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share,

 

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 and income 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 significant cash or non-cash items that management does not view as indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Each item is evaluated on an individual basis, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative aspects of their 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.

 

Local Currency

 

Certain revenue information is presented on a local currency basis (“Local Currency”). Sirona supplementally presents this revenue information because it believes doing so facilitates a comparison of its operating results from period to period without regard to changes resulting solely from fluctuations in currency rates. Sirona calculates Local Currency revenue growth by comparing current-period revenues to prior-period revenues with both periods converted at the U.S. Dollar/local currency average foreign exchange rate for each month of the prior period for the currencies in which we do business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share

 

These non-GAAP measures (both attributable to Sirona’s shareholders) exclude, as applicable, the following:

 

·

amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of intangible and tangible assets related to past business combinations,

·

gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments,

·

any tax effects related to the above, and

·

to the extent relevant in a particular period, any other significant cash or non-cash items that management does not view as indicative of its ongoing operating performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Summary

 

Historically, Sirona’s principal uses of cash, apart from operating requirements (including research and development efforts), have been for interest payments, debt repayment, and acquisitions. Operating capital expenditures typically are approximately equal to operating depreciation (excluding any effects from the increased amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of Sirona’s and Schick’s assets and liabilities required under purchase accounting). These expenditures may temporarily exceed operating depreciation for larger-scale infrastructure and other investment activities that the Company may undertake from time to time. The Company also uses cash for occasional purchases of treasury shares pursuant to stock repurchase programs.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $422.6 million and total debt of $80.4 million, resulting in net cash of $342.2 million. We believe our ability to generate cash from operating activities is one of our fundamental strengths. The near-term outlook for our business remains strong, and we expect to continue generating significant cash flows from operations throughout the remainder of fiscal 2015. The Company typically does not raise capital through issuance of stock; instead, we use debt financing to lower our overall cost of capital and increase our return on shareholders’ equity. We believe that our operating cash flows, available cash, and available but unused revolving credit facilities, in combination, provide us with the necessary financial flexibility to fund our working capital needs, research and development efforts, and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

 

We have significant operations outside of the U.S. and earn a significant portion of our consolidated operating income and income before taxes through our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents of $372.2 million held by our foreign subsidiaries generally are not subject to restrictions prohibiting such amounts from being available in the United States. The distribution of lower-taxed foreign earnings to the United States, however, would generally increase our effective tax rate. It is management’s intention to continue to indefinitely reinvest such earnings in foreign operations.

Debt Financing

 

On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into a senior facilities agreement (the “Senior Facilities Agreement’) with Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors, and as of November 16, 2011, Sirona fully repaid its obligations under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement. Initial borrowings under the Senior Facilities Agreement were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company's previous credit facilities. Please see “Senior Facilities Agreement” within this section for a complete description of this Senior Facilities Agreement.

 

The Senior Facilities Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit Sirona’s ability to make loans, to incur additional indebtedness, and to make disposals, subject to agreed exceptions. The Company has agreed to certain financial debt covenants in relation to the financing. The covenants stipulate that the Company must maintain certain ratios in respect of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA”). If the Company breaches any of the covenants, the loans will become repayable on demand.

 

The financial covenants require that the Company maintain a debt coverage ratio (“Debt Cover Ratio”) of consolidated total net debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, determined on the basis of the last twelve months, of no more than 3.00 to 1. The Company is required to determine its compliance with the covenants as of September 30 and March 31. As of March 31, 2015, the most recent period for which this ratio was calculated, the Company was in compliance. The Debt Cover Ratio was not meaningful in the absence of net debt.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for each of the periods under report:

 

Cash Flows		Nine months ended
		June 30,				Change
(In millions, except for percent amounts)		2015		2014		absolute	%
Net cash provided by (used in):
OPERATING activities	$	131.5	$	130.5	$	1.0	0.8%
INVESTING activities		(56.8)		(62.5)		5.7	9.1%
FINANCING activities		(15.8)		(13.1)		(2.7)	(20.6%)
Increase (decrease) in cash during the period	$	58.9	$	54.9	$	4.0	7.3%

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities represents net cash from operations, returns on investments, and payments for interest and taxation.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $131.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 (prior year period: $130.5 million), or an increase of $1.0 million compared to an increase of $7.8 million in net income.

 

Influencing factors on operating cash flows were:

 

·

In the first nine months of fiscal 2015, the favorable adjustments to reconcile net income to net operating cash flow increased by $14.0 million over the prior-year period. Driving factors for this increase were:

 

o

$10.2 million more favorable impacts from net deferred taxes related to normal, ongoing business,

o

$4.9 million more favorable adjustment from derivative instruments and foreign currency transactions, and

 

39

  

SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-Q

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

 

o

$4.5 million less favorable adjustment from depreciation and amortization due to decreasing amortization resulting from the step-up to fair value of tangible and intangible assets.

o

The remaining changes only had a minor impact on the change in net cash provided by operating activities.

 

·

In the first nine months of fiscal 2015, the unfavorable effect of changes in assets and liabilities resulted in an increase over the prior-year period of $20.9 million. The factors for this change were:

 

o

Receivables and inventories changed by $50.7 million compared to the prior year. This negative development was primarily driven by the $52.6 million increase in receivables. The higher increase in receivables in the current-year period resulted primarily from the purchasing pattern of Patterson, our largest distributor, with low shipments in August and September 2014.

o

Trade accounts payable and other assets and liabilities changed by $35.4 million compared to the prior year. This positive development reflects the timing of supplier payments.

o

Current income tax liabilities changed by $5.6 million compared to the prior year. This negative development was due to the timing of income tax payments.

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities represents cash used for capital expenditures in the normal course of operating activities, financial investments, acquisitions, asset disposals, and divestitures.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $56.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 (prior year period: $62.5 million), or a decrease of $5.7 million.

 

The investing cash outflow in the nine months ended June 30, 2015 represented:

 

·

The acquisition of a dental company for $18.5 million, and

·

capital expenditures in the course of normal operating activities.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities represented:

 

·

the acquisition of the main administrative building in Bensheim, Germany for $26.7 million,

·

the completion of the expansion of the new instruments manufacturing facility in Bensheim, Germany,

·

the sale of certain business assets for $11.5 million, and

·

capital expenditures in the course of normal operating activities.

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $15.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 (prior year period: $13.1 million), or an increase of $2.7 million. The year-over-year change was mainly driven by $2.9 million lower proceeds and $10.9 million higher tax effects (including significant options exercised and shares subsequently held by executive officers) from shares issued under share based compensation plans, $9.6 million fewer purchases of treasury shares in the first nine months of 2015, and the absence of dividend distributions to noncontrolling interests in the current year.

 

Capital Resources

 

Senior Facilities Agreement

 

On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into the Senior Facilities Agreement with Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors. As of November 16, 2011, Sirona fully repaid its obligations under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement. Initial borrowings under the Senior Facilities Agreement were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company's previous credit facilities.

SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.

FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

 

 

The Senior Facilities Agreement includes: (1) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million ("Facility A Term Loan") available to Sirona or Sirona Dental, as borrower; (2)  a 120 million Euro revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility B”) available to Sirona Dental Systems GmbH and Sirona Dental Services GmbH, as initial borrowers; and (3) a $100 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility C”) available to Sirona or Sirona Dental, as initial borrowers. The Revolving Facility B is available for borrowing in Euro or any other freely available currency agreed to by the facility agent. The facilities are made available on an unsecured basis. Subject to certain limitations, each European guarantor guarantees the performance of each European borrower, except itself, and each U.S. guarantor guarantees the performance of each U.S. borrower, except itself.

 

Of the amount borrowed under the Facility A Term Loan, 30% is due on November 16, 2015, and the balance is due on November 16, 2016. The loans under the Senior Facilities Agreement bear interest of EURIBOR, for Euro-denominated loans, and LIBOR for the other loans, plus an initial margin of 160, 85 and 110 basis points for the Facility A Term Loan, Revolving Facility B and Revolving Facility C, respectively.

 

The Senior Facilities Agreement contains a margin ratchet. Pursuant to this provision, which applies from March 31, 2012 onwards, the applicable margin varies depending on the Company’s leverage multiple (i.e. the ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement) between 160 basis points and 215 basis points for the Facility A Term Loan, 85 basis points and 140 basis points for the Revolving Facility B, and 110 basis points and 165 basis points for the Revolving Facility C.

 

The Senior Facilities Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit Sirona's ability to make loans, to incur additional indebtedness, and to make disposals, subject to agreed-upon exceptions. The Company has agreed to certain financial debt covenants in relation to the financing. The covenants stipulate that the Company must maintain certain ratios in respect of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA. If the Company breaches these covenants, the loans will become repayable on demand.

 

On November 16, 2011, Sirona entered into 5-year payer interest rate swaps to fully hedge its 3-month LIBOR exposure for the Facility A Term Loan. The terms of the swap reflect the term structure of the underlying loan. The effective nominal interest rate is 1.2775% plus the applicable margin. Settlement of the swaps is required on a quarterly basis.

 

Debt issuance costs of $2.8 million were incurred in relation to the financing in November 2011 and have been capitalized as deferred charges and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loans.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the Facility A Term Loan was fully drawn to the amount of $75.0 million. The Revolving Facilities B and C remained undrawn as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.
