Q3'24 total revenues were $977.9 million, down 4.9% sequentially and up 1.8% year-over-year. Q3'24 total revenues were not significantly impacted by foreign exchange sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $14.6 million or 1.5% year-over-year.⁽¹⁾Q3'24 Clear Aligner revenues were $786.8 million, down 5.4% sequentially and down 1.0% year-over-year. Q3'24 Clear Aligner revenues were not significantly impacted by foreign exchange sequentially, and unfavorably impacted by approximately $11.7 million or 1.5% year-over-year.⁽¹⁾ Q3'24 Clear Aligner volume was down 4.0% sequentially and up 2.5% year-over-year. Q3'24 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were $191.0 million, down 2.9% sequentially and up 15.6% year-over-year. Q3'24 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were not significantly impacted by foreign exchange sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $2.9 million or 1.5% year-over-year.⁽¹⁾

Q3'24 operating income was $162.3 million resulting in an operating margin of 16.6%, up 2.3 points sequentially, and down 0.7 points year-over-year. Q3'24 operating margin was not significantly impacted by foreign exchange sequentially and was unfavorably impacted by approximately 0.8 points year-over-year.⁽¹⁾ On a non-GAAP basis, Q3'24 operating income was $215.9 million resulting in an operating margin of 22.1%, down 0.2 points sequentially, and up 0.3 points year-over-year. Q3'24 net income was $116.0 million, or $1.55 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Q3'24 net income was $175.6 million, or $2.35 per diluted share.

Commenting on Align's Q3'24 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, "Overall, Q3'24 results were mixed and reflect strong Systems and Services year-over-year revenue growth, as well as good Clear Aligner volume in the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Latin America regions, partially offset by declines in the U.S. As recently reported by many analysts and third-party research firms, the underlying dental market in the U.S. remains sluggish and our doctor customers cite similar trends. Q3'24 revenues of approximately $978 million increased 1.8% year-over-year and Clear Aligner volume of 617.2 thousand were up 2.5% year-over-year. Despite strong growth from Systems and Services revenues, a record 87.4 thousand doctor submitters, a record 236 thousand teens starting treatment—driven by a record teen case starts in China, and a record 25K+ of DSP Invisalign® Touch-Up cases, total revenues for Q3 were slightly below our Q3 revenue outlook in part due to more pronounced seasonality for clear aligners than expected, as well as continued weak consumer sentiment and a soft dental market in the U.S. Q3'24 non-GAAP operating margin of 22.1% was better than expected and increased year-over-year compared to 21.8% in Q3'23."

Align also announced today a global organizational restructuring plan that eliminates or transfers identified positions to other locations. There are impacted employees in every region and they will receive severance and other benefits based on applicable laws, severance plans, or contracts governing their position and country of employment. As part of the restructuring plan, Raj Pudipeddi's position as executive vice president and managing director of the Americas region and chief marketing officer has been eliminated and he will leave Align in the fourth quarter of 2024. As a result of the restructuring plan, we anticipate incurring restructuring charges in the fourth quarter related to severance of approximately $30 million or 3% points impact on operating margin.

Commenting on Align's restructuring actions today, Align Technology CFO and EVP Global Finance, John Morici said, "We continually evaluate and evolve our business to provide doctors with the best tools and resources that they deserve, while managing our operations responsibly. Today's restructuring action was designed to adjust our operations to more closely align with the existing business environment. We expect the restructuring actions we announced today to be margin accretive in 2025, even as we scale our next generation direct 3D printing fabrication manufacturing."

Announcement Highlights

On October 23, 2024, Align announced that Frank Quinn, formerly Align vice president and general manager of the United States, will rejoin the company as executive vice president and managing director of the Americas region, reporting to Joe Hogan, Align president and CEO.
On August 22, 2024, Align announced the pilot of a new U.S. Invisalign treatment promotional program for Costco members on Costco.com. Costco members in the in the U.S. can purchase an Invisalign treatment e-card and Invisalign™ Essentials Bundle+ on Costco.com for $99.99 to receive a $400 discount off Invisalign treatment with participating U.S. Invisalign providers.

Q4'24 Stock Repurchase

As of September 30, 2024, $500.0 million remains available for repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program approved in January 2023.
Beginning in Q4'24 and continuing into the first quarter of 2025, we expect to repurchase up to $275.0 million of our common stock through either, or a combination of, open market repurchases or an accelerated stock repurchase agreement.

Fiscal 2024 Business Outlook

Turning to our outlook, assuming no circumstances occur beyond our control, including foreign exchange, we provide the following business outlook:

For Q4'24, we expect worldwide revenues to be in the range of $995M to $1,015M
For Q4'24, we expect Clear Aligner volume and ASP to be slightly up sequentially
We also expect Systems and Services revenue to be up in Q4'24 sequentially consistent with typical Q4 seasonality
We expect Q4'24 GAAP operating margin to be slightly lower than 14.0% primarily due to restructuring charges related to severance as we adjust headcount for the existing business environment. We estimate these restructuring charges to impact Q4'24 GAAP operating margin by approximately 3 points
We anticipate Q4'24 non-GAAP operating margin to be slightly up sequentially
For fiscal 2024, we expect investments in capital expenditures to be above $100M. Capital expenditures primarily relate to building construction and improvements as well as manufacturing capacity in support of continued expansion

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: constant currency net revenues, constant currency gross profit, constant currency gross margin, constant currency income from operations, constant currency operating margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income before provision for income taxes, non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our fundamental operating performance, including foreign currency exchange rate impacts, the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets related to certain acquisitions, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, associated tax impacts and discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Our management believes that the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our recurring core operating performance. 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. 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 used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business.

There are material limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures as they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results, which can limit their usefulness for comparison purposes. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis and by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures in our public disclosures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, superior to, or in isolation from, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our GAAP financial measures to the comparable non-GAAP financial measures included herein and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Unaudited GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation."

Note:
(1)		We define constant currency net revenues as total net revenues excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements and use it to determine the percentage for the constant currency impact on net revenues on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Constant currency impact in dollars is calculated by translating the current period GAAP net revenues using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period and subtracting it by the current period GAAP net revenues. The percentage for the constant currency impact on net revenues is calculated by dividing the constant currency impact in dollars (numerator) by constant currency net revenues in dollars (denominator).
(+)		Changes and percentages are based on actual values. Certain tables may not sum or recalculate due to rounding. Refer to "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of press release.

Notes:
(1)		We define constant currency income from operations as GAAP income from operations excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements for GAAP net revenues and operating expenses on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Constant currency impact in dollars is calculated by translating the current period GAAP net revenues and operating expenses using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period and subtracting it by the current period GAAP net revenues and operating expenses.
(2)		We define constant currency operating margin as constant currency income from operations as a percentage of constant currency net revenues. Operating margin constant currency impact is the increase or decrease in constant currency operating margin compared to the GAAP operating margin.
(+)		Changes and percentages are based on actual values. Certain tables may not sum or recalculate due to rounding. Refer to "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of press release.
