-- 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 ("Q3'26").
Commenting on Align's Q3'26 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “We delivered solid third-quarter results, with Q3 revenues and Clear Aligner volumes in line with our outlook and non-GAAP operating margin was above our prior guidance. Clear Aligner volumes reflect record doctor submitters, record third-quarter Clear Aligner shipments, improved utilization, and broad-based international growth. For the first time in 6 quarters, orthodontist shipments in North America increased year-over-year, and DSO shipments were up double-digits, across both orthodontist and GP customers. Our focus remains on expanding iTero’s reach and in Q3, the number of scanner units placed—including leased, rented and certified pre-owned systems increased double-digits year-over-year, to more than 157,000 systems globally. From a profitability perspective, non-GAAP gross margin was 70.4%, modestly below our expectation, reflecting higher fuel-related transportation costs, lower Clear Aligner ASPs and geographic and product mix. Disciplined expense management and productivity improvements contributed to non-GAAP operating margin of 24.4%, above our outlook. Overall, Q3 demonstrated continued Clear Aligner growth, expansion of our digital platform and customer footprint, and improved profitability."

Align Technology Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results Continued Hogan, "We also have a significant innovation pipeline ahead of us. We continue to be excited about our next-gen direct fabrication 3D printing materials platform, called NXT Technology. NXT Technology unlocks greater control, consistency, and precision across appliance design-enabling an entirely new level of Invisalign ® performance and personalization. We are broadening the application of 3D printing across the Invisalign portfolio, as well as expanding into new categories: Invisalign ® Specifix attachment system expands our direct 3D-printing capabilities beyond aligners and appliances into the attachment system itself. This week, we will begin a U.S. pilot of a new product Invisalign ® Sports Guard -- a custom direct 3D printed sports mouth guards -- made from an iTero™ scan. Sports mouth guards represent a large and growing market opportunity amid increasing awareness of concussion risks in contact sports. There is also significant overlap with our kids and teens demographic, and we expect it to drive awareness and utilization of Invisalign treatment through Invisalign doctors.”

Commenting on Align's performance and business outlook, Align Technology CFO and EVP Global Finance, John Morici said, " I was 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. 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. "

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 - 6 - Align Technology Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results 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."

TEMPE, Ariz., October 28, 2026
-- 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 ("Q3'26").
Commenting on Align's Q3'26 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe
Hogan said, “We delivered solid third-quarter results, with Q3 revenues and
Clear Aligner volumes in line with our outlook and non-GAAP operating margin was
above our prior guidance. Clear Aligner volumes reflect record doctor
submitters, record third-quarter Clear Aligner shipments, improved utilization,
and broad-based international growth. For the first time in 6 quarters,
orthodontist shipments in North America increased year-over-year, and DSO
shipments were up double-digits, across both orthodontist and GP customers. Our
focus remains on expanding iTero’s reach and in Q3, the number of scanner units
placed—including leased, rented and certified pre-owned systems increased
double-digits year-over-year, to more than 157,000 systems globally. From a
profitability perspective, non-GAAP gross margin was 70.4%, modestly below our
expectation, reflecting higher fuel-related transportation costs, lower Clear
Aligner ASPs and geographic and product mix. Disciplined expense management and
productivity improvements contributed to non-GAAP operating margin of 24.4%,
above our outlook. Overall, Q3 demonstrated continued Clear Aligner growth,
expansion of our digital platform and customer footprint, and improved
profitability."

Continued Hogan, "We also have a significant innovation pipeline ahead of us. We
continue to be excited about our next-gen direct fabrication 3D printing
materials platform, called NXT Technology. NXT Technology unlocks greater
control, consistency, and precision across appliance design-enabling an entirely
new level of Invisalign ® performance and personalization. We are broadening the
application of 3D printing across the Invisalign portfolio, as well as expanding
into new categories: Invisalign ® Specifix attachment system expands our direct
3D-printing capabilities beyond aligners and appliances into the attachment
system itself. This week, we will begin a U.S. pilot of a new product Invisalign
® Sports Guard -- a custom direct 3D printed sports mouth guards -- made from an
iTero™ scan. Sports mouth guards represent a large and growing market
opportunity amid increasing awareness of concussion risks in contact sports.
There is also significant overlap with our kids and teens demographic, and we
expect it to drive awareness and utilization of Invisalign treatment through
Invisalign doctors.”

Changes and percentages are calculated using unrounded values. As a result,
certain tables may not sum or recalculate precisely due to rounding.
As of September 30, 2026, we had approximately $1,144.9 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to approximately $1,102.6 million as of June 30, 2026. As
of September 30, 2026, we had $300.0 million available under our revolving line
of credit, which includes a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-limit.
Commenting on Align's performance and business outlook, Align Technology CFO and
EVP Global Finance, John Morici said, " I was 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. 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. "

About 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
- 6 -
Align Technology Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
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."

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).
(2) 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.
(3) We define constant currency gross margin as constant currency gross profit
as a percentage of constant currency net revenues. Gross margin constant
currency impact is the increase or decrease in constant currency gross margin
compared to the GAAP gross margin.
(+) Changes and percentages are based on actual values. Certain tables may not
sum or recalculate due to rounding. Refer to "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
section of press release.

Notes:
(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.

(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.

Align Technology Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
(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 of certain
manufacturing fixed assets, in connection with our 2025 restructuring plan.
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.
(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.
