TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2023-- Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today reported financial results for the third quarter ("Q3'23"). Q3'23 total revenues were $960.2 million, down 4.2% sequentially and up 7.8% year-over-year. Q3'23 Clear Aligner revenues were $794.9 million, down 4.5% sequentially and up 8.5% year-over-year. Q3'23 Clear Aligner volume was down 3.3% sequentially and up 2.3% year-over-year. Q3'23 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were $165.3 million, down 2.5% sequentially and up 4.9% year-over-year. Q3’23 Clear Aligner revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $2.0 million or 0.3% sequentially and favorably impacted by approximately $3.8 million or 0.5% year-over-year.⁽¹⁾ Q3'23 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $0.7 million or 0.4% sequentially and favorably impacted by approximately $0.4 million or 0.3% year-over-year.⁽¹⁾

Commenting on Align's Q3'23 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, "Our third quarter results reflect lower than expected demand and a more difficult macro environment than we experienced in the first half of 2023. Dental practices and industry research firms have reported deteriorating trends, including decreased patient visits and increased patient appointment cancellations, along with fewer orthodontic case starts overall, especially among adult patients. The September Gaidge report, which reflect more than 1,200 North American Ortho Practices, shows deceleration for orthodontic treatment with new orthodontic patient appointments down 8.7% year-over-year and ortho case starts were down 6.9% year-over-year, -- the biggest decrease in over a year. Despite these headwinds, total Q3’23 worldwide revenues were up 7.8% year-over-year with growth across all regions. For Q3'23, we had record clear aligner shipments to teenage and younger patients, which increased 9.9% sequentially and 8.4% year over year, driven by continued strength from Invisalign First™. Q3'23 year-over-year revenue growth also reflects improvement in the Asia Pacific region, offset by more pronounced summer seasonality in EMEA and North America. Our Q3'23 systems and services revenues were up 4.9% year-over-year, despite continued challenges for capital equipment, primarily due to higher scanner volumes in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions, as well as increased services revenues."

Q3'23 operating income was $166.3 million resulting in an operating margin of 17.3%. Q3'23 operating margin was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately 0.3 points sequentially and by approximately 0.1 point year-over-year.⁽¹⁾ On a non-GAAP basis, Q3’23 operating income was $209.7 million or operating margin of 21.8%. Q3'23 net income was $121.4 million, or $1.58 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Q3'23 net income was $164.3 million, or $2.14 per diluted share.

Hogan continued, “We are committed to balancing our investments in near- and long-term growth drivers while delivering improvement in operating margin. As we navigate one of the most challenging operating environments in recent history, with increasing macro-economic pressure on doctors and their patients, we have an enormous opportunity to continue driving adoption of digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, and a responsibility to optimize our investments for the current environment.”

As of September 30, 2023, we had over $1.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term marketable securities compared to over $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had $300.0 million available under a revolving line of credit.

During the quarter, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Cubicure GmbH, for approximately €79 million subject to customary closing adjustments and adjustments for Align’s existing ownership of capital stock of Cubicure. The acquisition is expected to close in Q4 2023 or early 2024. The acquisition of Cubicure will strengthen Align’s existing intellectual property portfolio and know-how in direct 3D printing of appliances. Integration with Cubicure will also extend and scale Align’s printing, materials, and manufacturing capabilities for our 3D printed product portfolio.

Continued Hogan, “Align is in a unique position to continue driving the digital revolution of the dental industry and help doctors transform and grow their practices with Invisalign® clear aligners, iTero™ scanners, and the Align Digital Platform™. We are very excited about recent innovations developed to further revolutionize digital treatment planning for orthodontics and restorative dentistry by providing doctors with greater flexibility, real-time treatment plan modification capabilities and digital solutions to help improve practice productivity and patient experience -– which are even more important to our customers in the current environment. This includes ClinCheck® Live Update for 3D controls, Invisalign® Practice App, Invisalign® Personalized Plan ("IPP"), and Invisalign Smile Architect™, iTero-exocad Connector™, Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro, and Invisalign® Virtual Care AI software. These digital tools are continuing to gain adoption and help doctors gain efficiencies. In Q3, ClinCheck® Live Update was used by 41 thousand doctors on more than 560 thousand cases, reducing time spent in modifying treatment by 21%. Invisalign® Practice app is now actively used by 86.8 thousand doctors with over 5.2 million photos uploaded during the quarter via the Practice app. In addition, we will launch the Invisalign® Palatal Expander ("IPE") System in Canada this quarter. IPE is our first direct 3D printed orthodontic device that provides a safe, comfortable, and clinically effective alternative to metal palatal expanders and boosts our market opportunity in the teen market by addressing a portion of cases we couldn’t otherwise treat without IPE.”

Q3'23 Announcement Highlights

• On September 6, 2023, we introduced IPE, Align’s first direct 3D printed orthodontic device. IPE provides a safe, comfortable, and clinically effective* alternative to metal palatal expanders that require daily manual turning of a screw in the device as it is embedded in a patient's mouth to achieve expansion. IPE is not currently available for sale in all markets, including the US where it is pending 510(k) clearance.
• On September 6, 2023, we introduced Plan Editor in ClinCheck® treatment planning software, a new tool in the Plan stage of the Align digital workflow that enables enhanced flexibility and customization in Invisalign treatment planning for Invisalign trained orthodontists and general practitioner dentists. Plan Editor in ClinCheck is expected to be commercially available globally in Q1 2024.
• On September 6, 2023, we introduced a new SmartForce™ feature, attachment-free aligner activation feature, that reduces the need for attachments and offers a more aesthetic solution for an enhanced Invisalign patient experience. The new SmartForce feature with attachment-free aligner activation is under development and expected to be commercially available in the first half of 2024.
• On September 6, 2023, we introduced new software innovations to accelerate digital practice transformation. The Align™ Oral Health Suite, including future collaboration with X-Ray Insights, will aid doctors in identifying and educating patients on oral health conditions and improve their oral health. The iTero-exocad Connector™ upcoming release will optimize doctor and lab collaboration and productivity by streamlining case communication in a single channel on the MyiTero™ Portal. Both the Align Oral Health Suite and the latest iTero-exocad connector are expected to be commercially available by the end of 2023. X-Ray Insights is based on dentalXrai technology is expected to be in Limited Market Release in 2023 with select EU customers. Align acquired privately-held dentalXrai GmbH in July 2022.
• On September 6, 2023, we announced the opening of our new customer education and training center in Toronto, Canada to promote professional engagement and training about Invisalign clear aligners, iTero scanners, and the Align Digital Platform™ for Align customers.
• On September 6, 2023, we introduced a new doctor enabled direct ship to patient feature in our Vivera™ Retainer Subscription ("VRS") platform that creates a more patient friendly workflow for doctors to offer retainers to their patients and reduces the need for patients to make time consuming unnecessary trips to their doctors' offices to pick up their recurring Vivera retainer orders. The VRS platform is part of Align’s broader Doctor Subscription Program introduced to doctors in the United States and Canada in 2021.

*Data on file, Align Technology, as of August 2023. Based on data from a multi-site US Early Feasibility Investigational Device Exemption clinical study (n=29 subjects, ages 7-10 years) of expansion treatment with IPEs.

Q4'23 Stock Repurchase

• We have $1.0 billion available for repurchase of our common stock under our 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.
• During Q4'23, we expect to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock through either, or a combination of, open market repurchases or an accelerated stock repurchase agreement.

Fiscal 2023 Business Outlook

For 2023, Align provides the following business outlook:

• For Q4'23, assuming no circumstances occur that are beyond our control, we anticipate our WW Revenue to be in the range of $920M to $940M, down sequentially from Q3'23.
• We expect both Clear Aligner and Systems and Services Revenues to be down sequentially reflecting a more challenging macro-economic environment for doctors and patients with fewer orthodontic case starts overall; unfavorable FX given the strengthening of the US dollar against key currencies; and longer sales cycles for capital equipment purchases.
• For our Clear Aligner business, we expect clear aligner teen volume to be seasonally lower in Q4’23, and we don’t anticipate improvement in adult volumes. For Q4’23, we also expect clear aligner ASPs to be down sequentially primarily due to the strengthening US dollar.
• For our Systems and Services business, we anticipate increasing headwinds from macro uncertainty, and potential supply issues related to the war in the Middle East.
• We expect our Q4’23 GAAP operating margin to be down sequentially from Q3’23 due to restructuring primarily related to severance, as we adjust headcount for this environment. We anticipate our Non-GAAP operating margin to be up sequentially from Q3’23.
• For full year 2023, assuming no circumstances occur that are beyond our control, we anticipate our 2023 WW Revenue to be in the range of $3.83B to $3.85B.
• We also expect our full year 2023 GAAP operating margin to be roughly 1-point lower than 2022 and our 2023 Non-GAAP operating margin to be slightly above 21%.
• For 2023, we expect investments in capital expenditures to be approximately $200M. Capital expenditures are expected to primarily relate to building construction and improvements as well as manufacturing capacity in support of our continued international 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 in the United States ("GAAP"), we may provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures which may include constant currency net revenues, constant currency gross profit, constant currency gross margin, constant currency income from operations, constant currency operating margin, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating margin, interest income and other income (expense), net, net income before provision for income taxes, provision for income taxes, effective tax rate, net income and/or diluted net income per share, which excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our fundamental operating performance including, foreign currency exchange rate impacts and discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. In Q4'22, we changed to a long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across reporting periods. Our previous methodology for calculating our non-GAAP effective tax rate included certain non-recurring and period-specific items, that produced fluctuating effective tax rates that management does not believe are reflective of the Company's long-term effective tax rate. This new methodology became effective January 1, 2022, and we recast prior periods in 2022. Unless otherwise indicated, when we refer to non-GAAP financial measures they will exclude the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of certain acquired intangibles, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, and arbitration award gain, and associated tax impacts.

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 limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures as 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 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 herein 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 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). Refer to "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of press release.
