During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we agreed, in principle, to settle legal matters for a total of $31.1 million, primarily related to the Misty Snow Antitrust Class Action. We expect to seek court or administrative approvals, as applicable, in the second half of fiscal year 2024. Settlement payments will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the settlement agreements and/or court approvals.

Q2'24 operating income was $147.0 million resulting in an operating margin of 14.3%, down 1.2 points sequentially and down 2.9 points year-over-year. Q2'24 operating margin was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately 0.6 points sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately 1.2 points year-over-year.(1) On a non-GAAP basis, Q2'24 operating income was $229.4 million resulting in an operating margin of 22.3%, up 2.5 points sequentially, and up 1.0-point year-over-year. Q2'24 net income was $96.6 million, or $1.28 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Q2'24 net income was $181.0 million, or $2.41 per diluted share.

Commenting on Align's Q2’24 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “Overall, I am pleased to report solid second quarter results. Total Q2’24 revenues of $1,028.5 million were up 3.1% sequentially and 2.6% year-over-year, reflecting growth in both Clear Aligner volumes and Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues. Q2’24 total revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $11.6 million or 1.1% sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $18.1 million or 1.7% year-over-year. Q2'24 Clear Aligner ASPs were down sequentially and lower than anticipated in our second quarter outlook, due in part to greater impact of unfavorable foreign exchange across multiple currencies, especially the Japanese yen, Euro, and Brazilian real, as well as discounts, and product mix shift to lower ASP products including Invisalign® Palatal Expander. As a result, total Q2 revenues were slightly below the expected range for our Q2 quarterly revenues. Notwithstanding these factors, non-GAAP operating margin for the second quarter was 22.3%, up 2.5 points sequentially, and up 1.0-point year-over-year.”

Continued Hogan, “For Clear Aligners, Q2’24 volumes increased 6.2% sequentially and 3.2% year-over-year, driven by growth from adult patients, and strong teen case starts across the regions, led by strength in the Asia Pacific, EEMA, and Latin America regions. For Q2’24, adult patient case starts were up 5.0% sequentially and 1.0% year-over-year – reflecting our highest number of adult shipments in 8 quarters – driven by strength in the GP channel, led by North American and APAC dentists. In the teen and growing kids’ segment, over 216 thousand teens and younger patients started treatment with Invisalign clear aligners during the second quarter, an increase of 8.8% sequentially and up 8.0% year-over-year, reflecting growth across regions, especially from Invisalign First™ in the EMEA and APAC regions. In Q2, the number of doctors submitting teen or younger patient case starts was up 8% year-over-year, led by continued strength from doctors treating young kids also known as “growing patients.” Our Q2 results also reflect a record number of doctors submitting cases, and record doctors shipped to for the quarter. For Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services, Q2’24 revenues increased 9.2% sequentially and 16.1% year-over-year reflecting continued adoption of our next-gen iTero™ Lumina scanner, which made up the majority of our equipment sales, iTero Lumina wand upgrades, and iTero™ Element scanner trade-ins, as well as increased iTero scanner leases.”

Q2'24 Announcement Highlights

  • On June 3, 2024, Align announced the award of twelve research grants totaling $300,000 to universities worldwide under our fourteenth Annual Research Award Program. The funded research studies cover a wide range of topics including: maxillary molar distalization in adult aligner patients, comparing the oral microbiome between fixed orthodontic treatment and compared it to individuals undergoing orthodontic interventions utilizing removable clear aligners, evaluating early mixed dentition treatment, evaluating the effects of different interproximal reduction systems on enamel surfaces, comparing the smile esthetics including both objectives (smile arc, buccal corridor and incisor exposure), and evaluating the efficacy of different types of probiotics on biofilm formed around clear aligners.
  • On May 22, 2024, Align announced that it appointed Emory Wright to executive vice president, direct fabrication manufacturing platform, transitioning his current responsibilities for global operations, including treatment planning, to focus on scaling Align’s next generation direct fabrication manufacturing platform, working in close collaboration with Srini Kaza, who was promoted to executive vice president, research and development. Dr. Mitra Derakhshan assumed responsibility for global treatment planning in the newly created role of executive vice president, chief clinical officer, global treatment planning and clinical services. And Jitse Marree, vice president, global aligner manufacturing will continue to lead global clear aligner manufacturing operations while assuming responsibility for Mr. Wright’s remaining global operations functions. The announcement also stated that Mr. Wright plans to retire in 2026.
  • On April 1, 2024, Align announced that the Invisalign® Palatal Expander System was included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods and the New Zealand Web Assisted Notification of Devices Database, and is commercially available in both Australia and New Zealand. It is expected to be available in other APAC markets pending regulatory approvals starting in 2024.

Q2'24 Stock Repurchase

During Q2'24, we repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $250.73 through $150.0 million of open market repurchases. As of June 30, 2024, $500.0 million remains available for repurchases of our common stock under the January 2023 Repurchase Program.

Fiscal 2024 Business Outlook

Turning to our outlook, assuming no circumstances occur beyond our control, we provide the following business outlook for Q3'24 and fiscal 2024:

Third quarter 2024 outlook:

For Q3’24, we are providing the following business outlook:

  • We expect our Q3 worldwide revenues to be in the range of $980M to $1,000M
  • We expect Clear Aligner volume to be down sequentially as a result of Q3 seasonality, and Clear Aligner ASPs to be down sequentially, primarily due to foreign exchange and product mix
  • We also expect Systems and Services revenues to be down sequentially because of Q3 seasonality
  • We expect our Q3’24 GAAP operating margin to be below Q3’23 GAAP operating margin and Q3’24 non-GAAP operating margin to be flat to Q3’23 non-GAAP operating margin

Full year 2024 outlook:

For fiscal 2024, we are providing the following business outlook:

  • We expect fiscal 2024 total revenue growth to be up 4% to 6% year-over-year, due in part to lower Clear Aligner ASPs from continued unfavorable foreign exchange and product mix. In addition, our revised revenue outlook reflects our anticipated commercial launch of the iTero™ Lumina with restorative capabilities to occur in Q1’25, instead of 2024 as previously anticipated
  • We expect fiscal 2024 GAAP operating margin to be slightly below 2023 GAAP operating margin and 2024 non-GAAP operating margin to be above the 2023 non-GAAP operating margin
  • We expect investments in capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 to be approximately $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 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 certain acquired intangibles, 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."

  • variations in our geographic, channel and product mix, product adoption, and selling prices regionally and globally, including product mix shifts to lower priced products or to products with a higher percentage of deferred revenue;
  • competition from existing and new competitors;
  • declines in, or the slowing of the growth of, sales of our clear aligners and intraoral scanners domestically and/or internationally and the impact either would have on the adoption of Invisalign products;
  • the economic and geopolitical ramifications of the military conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine, including trade disruptions, tariffs, sanctions, or boycotts, retaliatory sanctions, nationalism, supply chain disruptions and other consequences, any of which could adversely impact our operations and assets;
  • the possibility that the development and release of new products or enhancements to existing products do not proceed in accordance with the anticipated timeline or may themselves contain bugs, errors or defects in software or hardware requiring remediation and that the market for the sale of these new or enhanced products may not develop as expected;

  • a tougher consumer demand environment in China generally, especially for manufacturers and service providers whose headquarters or primary operations are not based in China;
  • the risks relating to our ability to sustain or increase profitability or revenue growth in future periods (or minimize declines) while controlling expenses;
  • expansion of our business and products;
  • the impact of excess or constrained capacity at our manufacturing and treat operations facilities and pressure on our internal systems and personnel;
  • the compromise of our systems or networks, including any customer and/or patient data contained therein, for any reason;
  • the timing of case submissions from our doctor customers within a quarter as well as an increased manufacturing costs per case; and
  • the loss of key personnel, labor shortages or work stoppages for us or our suppliers.

The foregoing and other risks are detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 and our latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 3, 2024.

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).
