Align Technology Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results, $200M Stock Repurchase, and Reaffirms Fiscal 2026 Guidance

Key Terms

non-GAAP financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

revolving line of credit financial

A revolving line of credit is a flexible borrowing arrangement that allows a person or business to access funds up to a set limit whenever needed, much like a prepaid card. As money is repaid, it becomes available to borrow again, making it a convenient way to manage cash flow or cover ongoing expenses. Investors pay attention to it because it reflects a company’s ability to access quick funds and manage financial flexibility.

letter of credit financial

A letter of credit is a bank’s written promise to pay a seller on behalf of a buyer once specified shipping or delivery documents are presented, acting like a guaranteed cashier’s check that only pays when the agreed conditions are met. Investors care because letters of credit reduce payment and counterparty risk, affect a company’s working capital and credit exposure, and can influence deal certainty in contracts, trade financing, and acquisitions.

tariffs regulatory

Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on goods imported from other countries. They increase the cost of those goods, which can lead to higher prices for consumers and impact international trade. For investors, tariffs matter because they can influence the profitability of companies, affect supply chains, and shift economic stability across different regions.

International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") regulatory

A U.S. law that gives the government broad authority to impose economic controls—such as trade bans, asset freezes, and restrictions on payments—against foreign threats to national security, foreign policy, or the economy. Think of it like an emergency switch the government can flip to cut or limit financial and commercial links with certain countries, businesses, or individuals; investors care because those actions can suddenly block sales, freeze revenue streams, and sharply alter a company’s exposure to international markets.

capital expenditures financial

Capital expenditures are the money a company spends to buy or improve big assets like buildings, equipment, or machines that will last a long time. These investments matter because they help the company grow and operate more efficiently, similar to how upgrading a home’s appliances or adding a new room can make it better and more valuable.

diluted net income per share financial

Diluted net income per share measures a company's profit attributable to each share of stock after accounting for all possible additional shares that could be created from options, convertible debt or other rights. Investors use it to see how earnings would be spread if every claim on the company converted to stock — like checking how big each slice of pie would be if more people showed up — which reveals true per-share profitability and dilution risk.

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 first quarter ("Q1'26").

Q1'26 gross margin was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately 0.3 points sequentially and by approximately 0.4 points year-over-year.⁽¹⁾ On a non-GAAP basis, Q1'26 gross profit was $746.9 million, resulting in a gross margin of 71.8%.

Q1'26 operating income was $142.0 million, resulting in an operating margin of 13.6%. Q1'26 operating margin was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately 0.4 points sequentially and by approximately 0.1 points year-over-year.⁽¹⁾ Q1'26 net income was $112.8 million, or $1.57 per diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, Q1'26 net income was $184.6 million, or $2.58 per diluted share.⁽¹⁾

Commenting on Align's Q1'26 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “We’re pleased to report another better-than-expected quarter, with Q1’26 revenues, Clear Aligner volumes, and both GAAP and non‑GAAP operating margins exceeding our outlook, reflecting continued execution against our strategic priorities and resilience across our global business. First quarter revenues of $1.04 billion increased 6.2% year-over-year, driven primarily by higher Clear Aligner volumes and increased ASPs. Record Clear Aligner shipments of 685.7 thousand cases increased 6.7% year-over-year, reflecting double‑digit growth across our international business, with continued stability in North America. We also saw good growth across customer segments, with orthodontic and GP dentist shipments up 7.4% and 5.6% year‑over‑year, respectively, and momentum across adult, teen, and growing kid patients. DSOs remain a force multiplier and continue to drive double-digit Clear Aligner volumes globally. As expected, due to first‑quarter seasonality for capital equipment, our Systems and Services revenue was down sequentially. On a year-over-year basis, Q1 Systems and Services revenue growth reflects continued adoption of iTero Lumina™ full systems, services revenues, and Certified Pre-Owned sales, alongside a continued mix shift toward lower-priced scanner offerings, including PC-based configurations, leasing, and rental units. As we move forward in 2026, our focus is on maintaining discipline as we strategically invest in innovation and growth opportunities, including advancing digital dentistry through the Align™ Digital Platform, scaling our iTero Lumina ecosystem, expanding internationally with localized strategies, and continuing to build a differentiated portfolio for teens and growing patients."

Align Announcement Highlights

• April 15, 2026 – Align Technology announced it has been recognized for the fifth consecutive year as a Top 100 Global Innovator in the 2026 LexisNexis Innovation Momentum report.
• March 3, 2026 – Align Technology announced participation in key financial conferences: Leerink Partners Global Healthcare and Barclays Global Healthcare (28th Annual).

Q1'26 Stock Repurchase

• In August 2025, Align announced its intention to repurchase $200.0 million of common stock under its previously authorized $1.0 billion stock repurchase program. Between August 2025 and January 2026, Align repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares at an average price per share of $143.85, completing the $200.0 million repurchase plan.
• As of March 31, 2026, $800.0 million remains available for repurchases of common stock under our $1.0 billion stock repurchase program announced in April 2025.
• Align expects to repurchase an additional $200.0 million of its common stock over a six-month period beginning on or about May 1, 2026.

Tariff Update as of March 31, 2026

• As a result of the Supreme Court's ruling on February 20, 2026 that certain of the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were unlawful, we are no longer subject to IEEPA tariffs, but are subject to new, temporary tariffs on imports under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026. We do not expect this change to have a material impact to our results.

Fiscal 2026 Business Outlook

• With Q1’26 results as a backdrop, we remain focused on executing our strategic growth initiatives and building on the recent quarterly results. At the same time, there is uncertainty and the potential for adverse impacts on patient traffic, consumer demand and shipping/freight resulting from the ongoing military action in the Middle East.
• With respect to the Middle East, we continue to monitor developments closely. While our doctor customers in MEA have noted some impact on patient traffic and case conversion, the overall effect on our EMEA results was immaterial in the first quarter. Given the ongoing uncertainty, we have taken a prudent approach in our second‑quarter outlook by assuming some impact on both clear aligner and scanner demand. Beyond the second quarter, it becomes increasingly difficult to predict how the conflict in the Middle East will affect our business, particularly in the event of further escalation, sustained constraints on oil and gas supplies, or broader softening in consumer and patient sentiment.
• As we look to Q2 and the remainder of 2026, assuming no circumstances occur beyond our control such as: additional ramifications as a result of the aforementioned military action in the Middle East beyond what we have already assumed, adverse foreign exchange fluctuation, changes to currently applicable duties, including tariffs or other fees that could impact our business, our outlook is as follows:

Q2'26:

• We expect Q2’26 worldwide revenues to be in the range of $1,040M to $1,060M, up approximately 3% to 5% year-over-year
• We expect Q2’26 Clear Aligner volume to be up sequentially and year-over-year, and Clear Aligner Average Selling Price (“ASP”) to be flat sequentially and year-over-year
• We expect Systems and Services revenues to be up sequentially
• We expect our Q2’26 GAAP operating margin to be approximately 16.4% and non-GAAP operating margin to be approximately 21.5%

For fiscal 2026:

For fiscal 2026 we remain confident in the outlook that we provided previously and reaffirm our full year fiscal 2026 guidance as follows:

• We expect 2026 worldwide revenue growth to be up 3% to 4% year-over-year
• Our full year 2026 revenue guidance continues to assume a benefit from foreign exchange that is consistent with the assumptions underlying our initial full year outlook. We expect the impact of foreign exchange to moderate in the remaining quarters, trending toward the full year assumption of approximately 100 basis points
• We expect 2026 Clear Aligner volume growth to be up mid-single digits year-over-year
• We expect 2026 GAAP operating margin to be slightly below 18.0%, an approximately 400 basis points improvement over 2025 and non-GAAP operating margin to be approximately 23.7%, a 100 basis points improvement year-over-year consistent with our previous guidance
• We expect our investments in capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 to be $125 million to $150 million. Capital expenditures primarily relate to technology upgrades, additional manufacturing capacity as well as maintenance
• We expect to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock over a six-month period beginning on or about May 1, 2026

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 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 related to certain acquisitions, restructuring and other charges, legal settlements, 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."

• geopolitical events, such as wars, military conflicts (such as those involving the Middle East, Ukraine, and China), terrorism and major public health crises, which could result in, among other things, disruptions to our supply chain and the global economy, energy shortages, inflation, decreased customer and consumer sentiment, uneven patient traffic at dental practices, and a shift in public opinion about companies based in the United States or in the regions where we operate;
• trade policies, tariffs, customs duties and fees, and retaliatory actions, international trade disputes, or protectionist trade measures taken in response to or resulting from such measures;
• customer and consumer purchasing behavior and changes in demand for dental services as a result of, among other things, prevailing macroeconomic conditions, declining customer confidence and consumer sentiment, consumer economic uncertainty, employment levels, health insurance coverage, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, inflationary pressure, and perceptions of current and future economic conditions;
• variations in our geographic, channel or product mix, product launches, product pilots and product adoption, and selling prices regionally and globally, including product mix shifts to lower priced products or to products with a higher percentage of deferred revenue;
• reductions, delays or shifts in purchasing or utilization of our products and services by doctors at dental support organizations, orthodontic service organizations and other large group practices;
• competition from existing and new competitors;
• competitive pressure from AI-powered technologies in the dental industry, regulatory and legal risks surrounding implementation of AI, and reputational harm from improper use of AI;
• declines in, or the slowing of the growth of, sales of our clear aligners and intraoral scanners domestically and/or internationally and the impact either would have on the adoption of Invisalign products;
• the possibility that the development and release of new products or enhancements to existing products do not proceed in accordance with the anticipated timeline or may themselves contain bugs, errors, or defects in software or hardware requiring remediation and that the market for the sale of these new or enhanced products may not develop as expected;
• the timing, availability and cost of raw materials, components, products and other shipping and supply chain constraints and disruptions;
• unexpected or rapid changes in the growth or decline of our domestic and/or international markets;
• rapidly evolving and groundbreaking advances that fundamentally alter the dental industry or the way new and existing customers market and provide products and services to consumers;
• our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;
• our ability to comply with regulatory requirements and obtain and maintain regulatory approvals or clearances, including as a result of any shutdowns of the U.S. federal government or reductions in government personnel;
• the willingness and ability of our customers to maintain and/or increase product utilization in sufficient numbers;
• our ability to sustain or increase profitability or revenue growth in future periods (or minimize declines) while controlling expenses;
• expansion of our business and products;
• our ability to identify, complete, finance and integrate acquisitions, investments and other strategic transactions, and to realize the anticipated synergies and benefits of those transactions;
• the impact of excess or constrained capacity at our manufacturing and treat operations facilities and pressure on our internal systems and personnel;
• security breaches, data breaches, or other cybersecurity incidents involving any customer and/or patient data, and our failure to comply with laws, regulations and other obligations related to privacy, data protection, data governance and cybersecurity;
• natural disasters and extreme weather conditions occurring in a region where one of our facilities or those of our customers or suppliers are located;

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).

Notes:
(1)		Amortization of intangible assets related to certain acquisitions.
(2)		During the fourth quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 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 first quarter 2026, we recorded other non-recurring charges related to the disposal of certain manufacturing fixed assets.
