Insights

Align Technology's Q2 2024 financial results present a mixed picture with some positive trends and challenges. Total revenues of $1,028.5 million showed growth of 3.1% sequentially and 2.6% year-over-year, despite unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. However, Clear Aligner revenues were relatively flat year-over-year, indicating potential market saturation or increased competition.

The company's Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services segment showed strong performance, with revenues increasing 9.2% sequentially and 16.1% year-over-year. This suggests a growing demand for digital dentistry solutions and could be a key growth driver for Align moving forward.

Profitability metrics were mixed. While GAAP operating margin declined both sequentially and year-over-year, non-GAAP operating margin improved. This discrepancy is partly due to a $31.1 million legal settlement, highlighting the importance of monitoring ongoing legal risks.

The company's outlook for Q3 and full-year 2024 suggests cautious optimism. The projected revenue growth of 4% to 6% for 2024 is modest, reflecting challenges such as lower Clear Aligner ASPs and delayed product launches. Investors should closely monitor these factors and their impact on future growth.

Align Technology's Q2 results reveal interesting market dynamics. The total Invisalign patients surpassing 18 million globally, including over 5 million teens and kids, indicates strong market penetration and acceptance of clear aligners. The 8.0% year-over-year increase in teen case starts is particularly noteworthy, suggesting a growing adoption among younger demographics.

However, the relatively flat Clear Aligner revenues (-0.1% year-over-year) despite volume growth (3.2% year-over-year) points to pricing pressures and potential market maturation. The company's focus on product mix, including the Invisalign Palatal Expander, may be impacting average selling prices.

The strong performance in Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services (16.1% year-over-year growth) underscores the increasing digitization of dentistry. The adoption of the next-gen iTero Lumina scanner indicates that dental professionals are investing in advanced technology, which could drive long-term growth for Align.

Geographically, the strength in Asia Pacific, EEMA and Latin America regions for teen case starts suggests untapped potential in these markets. However, currency fluctuations, particularly in the Japanese yen, Euro and Brazilian real, are impacting financial results, highlighting the need for effective currency management strategies.

Align Technology's Q2 results highlight the company's ongoing innovation and technological advancements in the digital dentistry space. The strong adoption of the next-gen iTero Lumina scanner is a positive indicator of the company's ability to develop and market cutting-edge products. This technology not only drives equipment sales but also creates a ecosystem that can lead to increased Clear Aligner case starts.

The delay in the commercial launch of the iTero Lumina with restorative capabilities to Q1 2025 is a setback worth noting. While it may impact short-term revenue projections, it also underscores the complexity of developing advanced dental technologies and Align's commitment to product quality.

The company's investment in research, as evidenced by the $300,000 in research grants, demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to maintaining technological leadership. Studies on topics like maxillary molar distalization in adult aligner patients and comparing oral microbiomes between fixed orthodontics and clear aligners could lead to product improvements and new market opportunities.

The appointment of Emory Wright to focus on scaling Align's next-generation direct fabrication manufacturing platform is intriguing. This suggests potential advancements in manufacturing technology that could improve efficiency, reduce costs and potentially lead to faster turnaround times for aligners - all important factors in maintaining a competitive edge in the market.

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 second quarter ("Q2'24"). Q2'24 total revenues were $1,028.5 million, up 3.1% sequentially and up 2.6% year-over-year. Q2'24 total revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $11.6 million or 1.1% sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $18.1 million or 1.7% year-over-year.(1) Q2'24 Clear Aligner revenues were $831.7 million, up 1.8% sequentially and down 0.1% year-over-year. Q2'24 Clear Aligner revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $9.5 million or 1.1% sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $14.7 million or 1.7% year-over-year.(1) Q2'24 Clear Aligner volume was up 6.2% sequentially and up 3.2% year-over-year. Q2'24 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were $196.8 million, up 9.2% sequentially and up 16.1% year-over-year. Q2'24 Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $2.1 million or 1.0% sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $3.4 million or 1.7% year-over-year.(1)

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we agreed, in principle, to settle legal matters for a total of $31.1 million, primarily related to the Misty Snow Antitrust Class Action. We expect to seek court or administrative approvals, as applicable, in the second half of fiscal year 2024. Settlement payments will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the settlement agreements and/or court approvals.

Q2'24 operating income was $147.0 million resulting in an operating margin of 14.3%, down 1.2 points sequentially and down 2.9 points year-over-year. Q2'24 operating margin was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately 0.6 points sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately 1.2 points year-over-year.(1) On a non-GAAP basis, Q2'24 operating income was $229.4 million resulting in an operating margin of 22.3%, up 2.5 points sequentially, and up 1.0-point year-over-year. Q2'24 net income was $96.6 million, or $1.28 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, Q2'24 net income was $181.0 million, or $2.41 per diluted share.

Commenting on Align's Q2’24 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “Overall, I am pleased to report solid second quarter results. Total Q2’24 revenues of $1,028.5 million were up 3.1% sequentially and 2.6% year-over-year, reflecting growth in both Clear Aligner volumes and Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues. Q2’24 total revenues were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $11.6 million or 1.1% sequentially and unfavorably impacted by approximately $18.1 million or 1.7% year-over-year. Q2'24 Clear Aligner ASPs were down sequentially and lower than anticipated in our second quarter outlook, due in part to greater impact of unfavorable foreign exchange across multiple currencies, especially the Japanese yen, Euro, and Brazilian real, as well as discounts, and product mix shift to lower ASP products including Invisalign® Palatal Expander. As a result, total Q2 revenues were slightly below the expected range for our Q2 quarterly revenues. Notwithstanding these factors, non-GAAP operating margin for the second quarter was 22.3%, up 2.5 points sequentially, and up 1.0-point year-over-year.”

Continued Hogan, “For Clear Aligners, Q2’24 volumes increased 6.2% sequentially and 3.2% year-over-year, driven by growth from adult patients, and strong teen case starts across the regions, led by strength in the Asia Pacific, EEMA, and Latin America regions. For Q2’24, adult patient case starts were up 5.0% sequentially and 1.0% year-over-year – reflecting our highest number of adult shipments in 8 quarters – driven by strength in the GP channel, led by North American and APAC dentists. In the teen and growing kids’ segment, over 216 thousand teens and younger patients started treatment with Invisalign clear aligners during the second quarter, an increase of 8.8% sequentially and up 8.0% year-over-year, reflecting growth across regions, especially from Invisalign First™ in the EMEA and APAC regions. In Q2, the number of doctors submitting teen or younger patient case starts was up 8% year-over-year, led by continued strength from doctors treating young kids also known as “growing patients.” Our Q2 results also reflect a record number of doctors submitting cases, and record doctors shipped to for the quarter. For Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services, Q2’24 revenues increased 9.2% sequentially and 16.1% year-over-year reflecting continued adoption of our next-gen iTero™ Lumina scanner, which made up the majority of our equipment sales, iTero Lumina wand upgrades, and iTero™ Element scanner trade-ins, as well as increased iTero scanner leases.”

Fiscal 2024 Business Outlook

Turning to our outlook, assuming no circumstances occur beyond our control, we provide the following business outlook for Q3'24 and fiscal 2024:

Third quarter 2024 outlook:

For Q3’24, we are providing the following business outlook:

  • We expect our Q3 worldwide revenues to be in the range of $980M to $1,000M
  • We expect Clear Aligner volume to be down sequentially as a result of Q3 seasonality, and Clear Aligner ASPs to be down sequentially, primarily due to foreign exchange and product mix
  • We also expect Systems and Services revenues to be down sequentially because of Q3 seasonality
  • We expect our Q3’24 GAAP operating margin to be below Q3’23 GAAP operating margin and Q3’24 non-GAAP operating margin to be flat to Q3’23 non-GAAP operating margin

Full year 2024 outlook:

For fiscal 2024, we are providing the following business outlook:

  • We expect fiscal 2024 total revenue growth to be up 4% to 6% year-over-year, due in part to lower Clear Aligner ASPs from continued unfavorable foreign exchange and product mix. In addition, our revised revenue outlook reflects our anticipated commercial launch of the iTero™ Lumina with restorative capabilities to occur in Q1’25, instead of 2024 as previously anticipated
  • We expect fiscal 2024 GAAP operating margin to be slightly below 2023 GAAP operating margin and 2024 non-GAAP operating margin to be above the 2023 non-GAAP operating margin
  • We expect 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 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 ("GAAP") in the United States, 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, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP 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 certain acquired intangibles, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, associated tax impacts and discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains 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 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 material limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures as they are not prepared in accordance with 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 financial results, 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 are excluded 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 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 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."

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).
