On a non-GAAP basis, Q4'20 net income was $207.7 million, or $2.61 per diluted share.
Commenting on Align's Q4'20 and 2020 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “Our fourth quarter was a strong finish to the year -- with record revenues and volumes from both Invisalign aligners and iTero scanners, as well as increased gross margins, operating margins, EPS, and cash flow. Our Q4 performance was driven by strong year-over-year growth across customer channels and regions and continued momentum sequentially. Q4 reflects increased Invisalign adoption from both adults and teenagers, which were up 36.7% and 38.7% year-over-year, respectively. Our Teen and Mom-focused consumer campaign generated a +77% year-over-year increase in unique visitors to our website and a 76% increase in leads generated. In addition, Invisalign social media influencers like Charli D' Amelio, Marsai Martin, Christina Milian, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Rachel Zoe, Tiffany Ma, and Tahj Mowry continued to deliver exciting new content and increased engagement for the Invisalign brand with consumers and among their millions of followers.”
For 2020, total revenues were a record $2.5 billion, up 2.7% year-over-year. Record 2020 Clear Aligner revenues were $2.1 billion, up 3.7% year-over-year and record Clear Aligner volume was 1.6 million cases, up 7.0% year-over-year. 2020 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were $370.5 million, down 2.8% year-over-year. 2020 Invisalign cases for teenage patients were 498.2 thousand, up 11.5% year-over-year. 2020 net income was $1,775.9 million, or $22.41 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, 2020 net income was $415.9 million, or $5.25 per diluted share.
Continued Hogan, “2020 was a year unlike any other that we have experienced. The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact have been life-changing – marked by loss and separation, recovery and renewal, record highs and lows, and significant milestones and accomplishments even in a time of huge disruption. Despite the swift onset of the pandemic and uncertainty throughout 2020, we didn’t halt our plans or change our strategy for continued growth. We completed the acquisition and integration of exocad; accelerated our investments in marketing to create Invisalign brand awareness and drive consumer demand for our doctors’ offices; accelerated new technology to market with virtual tools that enabled our doctors to stay connected with their patients; provided PPE to those in need; and supported doctors and their teams with online education and digital forums that went beyond products to help them navigate the uncertainties of the pandemic. As a result of our continued strategic focus and investments, we exited the year stronger than we started and 2021 is off to a great start.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we may provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures for gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating margin, interest income and other income (expense), net, net income before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, effective tax rate, net income and diluted net income per share, which exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our fundamental operating performance including discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP measures will exclude the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash deferred tax assets and associated amortization related to the intra-entity transfer of non-inventory assets, acquisition-related costs, impairments and other (gains) charges, and litigation settlement gains, and, if applicable, any associated tax impacts.
We use 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 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. 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 will be provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business.
There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, though, because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. 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 a GAAP as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP 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 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 in this presentation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation."
