SmileDirectClub, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDC), the next generation oral care
company with the first medtech platform for teeth straightening,
today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2021.
First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
- First quarter total revenue of $199 million, up 8% over the
fourth quarter of 2020 and 1% over the prior year period.
- First quarter net loss of $(96) million, a decline of 11% over
the prior year period, and includes the $48 million of loss
associated with the retirement of the prior debt facility.
- First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5 million, an increase of $72
million over the prior year period.
- First quarter diluted EPS of $(0.25), an 11% improvement over
the prior year period. Excluding one-time items such as debt
retirement and store closure costs, adjusted first quarter diluted
EPS would have been $(0.12).
Key Operating Metrics
- First quarter 2021 unique aligner shipments of 106,345.
- Average aligner gross sales price (“ASP”) of $1,860 for the
first quarter of 2021, compared to $1,770 for the first quarter of
2020.
Guidance
- As disclosed in an 8K filed on May 3, 2021, in light
of the cyber-attack and the associated business disruption,
the Company is adjusting revenue expectations for Q2 based on
its best estimates of the possible impact.
- Accordingly, in Q2 SmileDirectClub expects revenue to be
approximately $195 - $200mm, and Adjusted EBITDA to be
approximately breakeven, as the Company recovers from the
cyber-attack, and continues to lean into marketing spend in
international markets.
“The first quarter represents continued traction against our
long-term targets as we execute against our controlled growth plan.
We are especially pleased to see consumer sentiment gaining
positive momentum as we remain laser focused on the delivery of a
world class Club Member experience,” said David Katzman, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of SmileDirectClub.
SmileDirectClub Chief Financial Officer Kyle Wailes added, “With
the goal of providing the best Club Member experience, our mantra
remains to drive controlled and profitable growth. The improvements
we have made, and continue to make, on customer service and
enhancing our leading telehealth platform for orthodontia are
working. We remain the low-cost provider, with brand
presence, no pricing pressure, and no real competitor
that provides an end-to-end vertically integrated platform for the
consumer.”
Business OutlookFor Q2, without the
cyber-attack, which caused disruptions to certain systems and
manufacturing operations, SmileDirectClub expected revenue to be in
line with its long-term targets on a sequential basis, up 5-7% over
Q1 2021. While the Company is adjusting revenue expectations for
Q2, its long-term revenue growth targets remain unchanged. The
Company will continue to make strategic investments in the
professional channel, international growth, and in penetrating new
demographics to drive controlled growth, while also executing
against its profitability goals. Lastly, favorable industry
dynamics continue to increase with broader acceptance of telehealth
and specifically teledentistry, minimal penetration against the
total addressable market, and clear aligners gaining share in the
overall industry.
- On COGS,
SmileDirectClub is making good progress on manufacturing
automation, with its second-generation machines
producing approximately 70% of all aligner orders, and
plans to manufacture approximately 90% of all orders on the
Gen2 line by the end of Q2. Streamlining the cost profile
through operational efficiencies will improve the Company’s margin
profile and will provide a consistently superior customer
experience that upholds the brand promise.
- On Sales
& Marketing, the SmileShops function
primarily as fulfillment centers, not as sources of demand
generation. As of quarter end, the Company had 126 permanent
shops open, and held over 156 pop-up events over the course of the
quarter for a total of 282 location sites. SmileDirectClub
continues to see its shops performing well with higher
utilization, a key part of meeting the Company’s long-term
financial targets. The strategy of temporary pop-up locations
has been successful, allowing SmileDirectClub to fulfill demand
without the addition of fixed locations and associated costs.
Additionally, marketing and selling expenses in the quarter reflect
significant investment in brand building to support long-term
growth in international markets. Revenue from ROW came in at
approximately 16.7% of total revenue for Q1. This was supported by
increasing acquisition spend in new markets which put the Company
over the top of its long-term target range. SmileDirectClub is
focused on investment overseas, where 75% of the total market
opportunity lies and where the competitive landscape is highly
fragmented.
- On liquidity,
SmileDirectClub retains approximately $430 million of cash on
the balance sheet, providing ample liquidity to support its growth
initiatives, while also investing in R&D.

Forward-Looking StatementsThis earnings release
contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than
statements of historical facts may be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events and
include, without limitation, projections, forecasts and estimates

Some of these statements may include words such as “expects,”
“anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “targets,” “plans,”
“potential,” “intends,” “projects,” and “indicates.”
Although they reflect our current, good faith expectations,
these forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future
performance, and involve a number of risks, uncertainties,
estimates, and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. Some of
the factors that may cause actual outcomes and results to differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the
forward-looking statements include, but are not necessarily limited
to: the ongoing assessment of the cyber incident, material legal,
financial and reputational risks resulting from such incident and
the related operational disruptions; the duration and
magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment
measures; our management of growth; the execution of our business
strategies, implementation of new initiatives, and improved
efficiency; our sales and marketing efforts; our manufacturing
capacity, performance, and cost; our ability to obtain future
regulatory approvals; our financial estimates and needs for
additional financing; consumer acceptance of and competition for
our clear aligners; our relationships with retail partners and
insurance carriers; our R&D, commercialization, and other
activities and expenditures; the methodologies, models,
assumptions, and estimates we use to prepare our financial
statements, make business decisions, and manage risks; laws and
regulations governing remote healthcare and the practice of
dentistry; our relationships with vendors; the security of our
operating systems and infrastructure; our risk management
framework; our cash and capital needs; our intellectual property
position; our exposure to claims and legal proceedings; and other
factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including but not limited to our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not
possible for us to predict all such factors or how they may affect
us. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We are
under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements
after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements
to actual results or revised expectations. You should, therefore,
not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our
views as of any date subsequent to the date of this earnings
release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We provide
a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure below and in our Current
Report on Form 8-K announcing our quarterly earnings results, which
can be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our website at
investors.smiledirectclub.com.
We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures, including
Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our actual operating performance and
for planning and forecasting of future periods.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, plus depreciation and
amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, equity-based
compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment of
long-lived assets, abandonment and other related charges and
certain other non-operating expenses such as one-time store closure
costs associated with our real estate repositioning strategy,
severance and other labor costs, and unrealized foreign currency
adjustments. We use Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating our performance
when we believe that certain items are not indicative of operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental
information to management regarding our operating performance and
we believe it will provide the same to members/stockholders.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information
to members/stockholders about our performance, financial condition,
and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) Adjusted
EBITDA is among the measures used by our management team to
evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating
decisions and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities
analysts, investors, lenders, and other interested parties as a
common performance measure to compare results or estimate
valuations across companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA does not have a definition under GAAP, and our
definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as, or comparable
to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth below.
