Align Technology Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
Commenting on Align's Q1'24 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “I’m pleased to report better than expected revenue and earnings for the first quarter and a solid start to the year. For Q1, total worldwide revenues were up 5.8% year-over-year, reflecting 3.5% year-over-year growth from our Clear Aligner segment and 17.5% year-over-year growth from Systems and Services. On a year-over-year basis, Q1 revenue growth was up across all regions and was driven by strong Clear Aligner volumes primarily in the Asia Pacific region. Year-over-year growth also reflects strength in the orthodontic channel, with total Invisalign® case starts from teens and younger patients up 5.8% year-over-year — driven by continued momentum across all regions from Invisalign First™, as well as Invisalign DSP Touch-Up cases. On a sequential basis, Q1 total revenues were up 4.3%, reflecting a sequential increase in Clear Aligner revenues, especially from North America orthodontists, as well as strong Systems and Services revenues primarily driven by iTero Lumina™ wand upgrades in North America.”
Continued Hogan, “During the quarter, we achieved several significant milestones: We completed the acquisition of Cubicure GmbH, a leader in direct 3D printing solutions which is the foundation for our next generation aligner manufacturing; we successfully launched the iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner – our next generation of digital scanning technology; we launched the Invisalign® Palatal Expander system in the U.S. and Canada, and we received regulatory approval for the Invisalign Palatal Expander in Australia and New Zealand. The Invisalign® Palatal Expander System is Align's first 3D-printed orthodontic device to address widening the upper arch in growing patients. It is a revolutionary, clinically effective approach to expansion that avoids the challenges of traditional palatal expander appliances.”

Align Technology Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
Q1'24 Announcement Highlights
•On April 8, 2024, Align announced the “Better Way” new advertising campaign for the Invisalign brand featuring the “Invis is for Kids” tagline and hashtag. The campaign showcases how the Invisalign® Palatal Expander System is a more positive patient experience and is just as effective as traditional metal expanders, but with less stress for kids and parents caused by having to manually crank open the metal expander every day. The integrated campaign includes targeted messages and materials for consumers and for doctors to drive awareness of early orthodontic intervention and that “Invis is for Kids.”
•On April 2, 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 now commercially available in both Australia and New Zealand. It is expected to be available in other APAC markets pending regulatory approvals starting in 2024.
•On February 22, 2024, Align announced that on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted summary judgment in favor of Align Technology, Inc. in two U.S. antitrust class action lawsuits (Simon & Simon, PC et al. v. Align Technology, Inc. and Snow et al. v. Align Technology, Inc.), filed initially in 2020 and 2021, respectively. These lawsuits challenged Align’s decision to end scan acceptance in the U.S. from a third-party scanner that was infringing Align’s intellectual property.
•On January 31, 2024, Align announced that for the first time, Align Technology was included in the Intellectual Property Owners Association annual report of the top 300 organizations granted U.S. patents.
•On January 31, 2024, Align announced the launch of the iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner, the next generation of digital scanning technology that pushes the boundaries of what intraoral scanners can do and sets a new standard for practice performance.
•On January 2, 2024, Align completed the acquisition of privately-held Cubicure GmbH, a pioneer in direct 3D printing solutions for polymer additive manufacturing that develops, produces, and distributes innovative materials, equipment, and processes for novel 3D printing solutions.
Q1'24 Stock Repurchase
In January 2024, we received approximately 37 thousand shares of our common stock upon final settlement of our Q4'23 $250.0 million Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") contract. In total, we repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares at an average price per share of $230.13 under the Q4'23 ASR contract.
There remains $650.0 million available for repurchase of our common stock under our January 2023 Repurchase Program.
During Q2’24, we expect to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock through either 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, we provide the following framework for Q2 and fiscal 2024:

Align Technology Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
Second quarter 2024 outlook:
For Q2’24, we provide the following business outlook:
•We expect worldwide revenues to be in the range of $1,030M to $1,050M
•We expect Clear Aligner volume to be up sequentially and Clear Aligner ASP to be down slightly sequentially, primarily as a result of unfavorable foreign exchange
•We expect Systems and Services revenue to be up sequentially as we continue to ramp iTero Lumina™ in Q2’24
•We expect our Q2’24 GAAP operating margin and Non-GAAP operating margin to be slightly above Q1’24 GAAP and Non-GAAP operating margins respectively
Full year 2024 outlook:
•We expect fiscal 2024 total revenue growth to be up +6% to +8% year-over-year, which is higher than our prior outlook of “up mid-single digit growth compared to 2023”. The increase in our 2024 revenue outlook reflects our Q1 results, our Q2 outlook, and continued execution of our growth strategies. We anticipate that the incremental revenue reflected in our 2024 outlook will be roughly split equally between our 2 operating segments
•We expect fiscal 2024 Clear Aligner ASP to be slightly up year-over-year
•We expect fiscal 2024 GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin to be slightly above the 2023 GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin, respectively
•We expect our 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 our 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 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, 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. 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 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 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 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).
