Sirona Dental Systems Inc. (SIRO) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2012-09-30.

Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. has a market cap of $3.19 billion; its shares were traded at around $61.565 with a P/E ratio of 19.9 and P/S ratio of 3.5. Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 50.5% over the past 10 years. GuruFocus rated Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. the business predictability rank of 2-star.

Highlight of Business Operations:Although the U.S. Dollar is Sirona’s reporting currency, its functional currencies vary depending on the country of operation. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, approximately 39% of Sirona’s revenue and approximately 69% of its expenses were in Euro. During the periods under review, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate has fluctuated significantly, thereby impacting Sirona’s financial results. Between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2012, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate used to calculate items included in Sirona’s financial statements varied from a low of $1.2094 to a high of $1.4155. Although Sirona does not apply hedge accounting, Sirona has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure. As of September 30, 2012, these contracts had notional amounts totalling $ 34.3 million. As these agreements are relatively short-term (generally six months), continued fluctuation in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate could materially affect Sirona’s results of operations.

Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $455.4 million, an increase of $25.2 million, or 5.9%, as compared with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 53.5% compared to 52.9% in the prior year. Cost of sales included amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $43.9 million as well as non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, compared to amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $50.5 million and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Excluding these amounts, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 42.0 % for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, compared with 41.5% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, and therefore gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 58.0% compared to 58.5% in the prior year.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
