Align Technology ALGN Q3 2026 earnings

“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.”
