ALGN Q3 2026 Financial Slides and Historical Data

· Issued by Align Technology, Inc.

Summary by 6ix AI

Align Technology, maker of Invisalign clear aligners and iTero scanners, reported net revenues of $1,014.8M for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, up 1.9% year over year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.90 under standard US accounting rules (GAAP) and $2.80 on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis that excludes items such as stock-based compensation and restructuring charges.

Key details

  • Clear Aligner revenue was $839.3M, up 4.2% year over year, and Systems & Services revenue was $175.5M, down 7.6%, for the third quarter of 2026.
  • GAAP net income was $135,044 thousand, compared with $56,753 thousand a year earlier. GAAP operating margin was 16.7%, up 7.0 percentage points year over year, and non-GAAP operating margin was 24.4%. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,144.9M.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2026, Align expects worldwide revenues of $1,000M to $1,020M, Systems and Services revenue of $170M to $180M and a non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 26.0%.
  • Align now expects 2026 worldwide revenue of approximately $4,110M to $4,130M, below its outlook given at the second quarter. The company attributes this to a lower fourth-quarter Systems and Services outlook and slightly lower Clear Aligner volume and pricing assumptions.
  • Align repurchased $103.3M of stock (627.3K shares) in the third quarter. It expects to repurchase up to $300M in the fourth quarter and approximately $500M in 2026, with $630M of authorization remaining.

What’s still pending

  • Fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 guidance assumes no circumstances occur beyond the company's control that could impact its business.
  • The fourth-quarter and 2026 share repurchase amounts are expectations.
  • Align says it will give its full 2027 outlook when it reports fourth-quarter results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), 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, constant currency diluted net income per share, non-GAAP constant currency gross margin, non-GAAP 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, restructuring and other charges, legal settlements and contingencies, acquisition-related costs, discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains and associated tax impacts 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 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 U.S. 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 results of operations, 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 and gains are excluded or included 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 or included 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 U.S. 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."

Q4 2026 outlook

We were pleased to deliver third-quarter revenue and Clear Aligner volume in line with our outlook while improving year-over-year profitability. Consistent with our first and second quarters, these results were achieved against a challenging market backdrop, as demand across the dental and orthodontic industry continued to be affected by a softer environment for discretionary healthcare spending and capital equipment investment. Those conditions persisted through the third quarter and our fourth-quarter outlook reflects what we continue to see across the broader market.

Our updated 2026 guidance reflects a reduction in expected reported revenue versus our prior outlook provided at Q2, driven by two main factors.

First, our Q4 Systems and Services revenues outlook is lower than prior guidance. Although we expect scanner volume growth and saw scanner ASPs stabilize on a like-for-like basis during Q3, product mix continues to shift towards lower-priced scanners and more flexible acquisition models--which resonates well with customers amid a more challenging environment for capital equipment purchases.

Second, we have slightly lowered our Clear Aligner volume and ASP assumptions, largely driven by product and geographic mix, in addition to foreign exchange.

Assuming no circumstances occur beyond our control that could impact our business:

  • We expect worldwide revenues to be in the range of $1,000M to $1,020M.

  • We expect Clear Aligner volume growth to be up low single-digits year-over-year and Q4'26 Clear Aligner ASP to be down approximately 1% year-over-year.

  • We expect Q4'26 Systems and Services revenue to be in the range of $170M to $180M.

  • We expect Q4'26 GAAP gross margin to be approximately 71.0%.

  • We expect Q4'26 non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 72.0%.

  • We expect Q4'26 GAAP operating margin to be approximately 20.0%.

  • We expect Q4'26 non-GAAP operating margin to approximately 26.0%.

  • For Q4'26, we expect to repurchase up to $300M or our common stock.

    Fiscal 2026 outlook

    Assuming no circumstances occur beyond our control that could impact our business:

  • We expect 2026 worldwide revenue to be approximately in the range of $4,110M to $4,130M.

  • We continue to expect 2026 Clear Aligner volume and revenue growth to be up approximately 5% to 6% year-over-year.

  • We expect 2026 Clear Aligner ASP to be slightly down from 2025.

  • We expect 2026 Systems and Services revenue to be $715M to $725M.

  • We expect 2026 GAAP Operating Margin to be approximately 16.2%, up approximately 2.7 points year-over-year.

  • We expect 2026 non-GAAP Operating Margin to be approximately 23.7%, a 100-basis point improvement year-over-year consistent with our previous guidance.

  • We expect our investments in capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 to be $125M to $150M.

  • We expect to repurchase approximately $500M of common stock during 2026, reflecting the conviction of our Board and management in Align's long-term value.

    Preliminary 2027 framework
  • As we look to 2027, we believe we are positioned to deliver another year of revenue growth and margin expansion. Importantly, our preliminary planning assumes an operating environment broadly consistent with current conditions and does not require a consumer recovery.

  • We expect to continue driving Invisalign volume growth in 2027. Record doctor submitters, improving utilization and the growth initiatives discussed today support that confidence, with additional initiatives under development. We also continue to expect a broadly stable Clear Aligner pricing environment, with ASPs slightly down, driven primarily by product and geographic mix.

  • For Systems and Services, 2026 has been a transition year for revenue. We expect solid unit growth and continued expansion of our installed base, and we expect stable ASPs, positioning Systems and Services for revenue growth in 2027.

  • On profitability, we continue to target at least another 100-basis points of non-GAAP operating-margin improvement in 2027, building on the approximately 100-basis points we expect to deliver in 2026. Our focus is on improving efficiency while preserving investment in the initiatives that support sustainable revenue growth.

  • Share repurchases should provide an additional benefit to earnings per share growth, as we continue to view buybacks as an attractive use of capital at prices that we do not believe reflect Align's long-term value-creation potential.

  • We will provide our full 2027 outlook when we report fourth-quarter results.

(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).

(3) We define constant currency gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding the impacts of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on net revenues and cost of net revenues.

(1) Beginning in Q1 2026, we define constant currency income from operations as GAAP income from operations excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements for GAAP gross profit and operating expenses on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Constant currency impact in dollars is calculated by translating the current period gross profit 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.

Notes to slides 29-32

(1) Amortization of intangible assets.

(2) During the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, we initiated restructuring plans to reduce headcount and increase efficiency across the organization and lower the overall cost structure. Restructuring charges are primarily related to involuntary termination benefits, including employee severance and other post-employment benefits.

(3) During the third quarter 2025, we originally recorded an impairment loss related to a manufacturing facility disposal group that met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. During the first quarter of 2026, we recognized a gain of $11.7 million resulting from an increase in fair value less costs to sell related to these assets held for sale.

(4) During the third quarter 2025, we initiated the disposal, other than by sale, of certain manufacturing fixed assets. Accordingly, we revised the useful lives of these assets and recorded accelerated depreciation expense.

(5) During the third quarter 2025, we recorded an impairment loss for obsolete inventory.

(6) During the first quarter 2026, we recorded other non-recurring charges related to the disposal of certain manufacturing fixed assets, in connection with our 2025 restructuring plan.

(7) During the third quarter 2026, and second quarter 2026, we recorded approximately $5.6 million and $37.5 million, respectively, related to UK VAT contingency loss, and approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to legal settlements.
