NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Align Technology, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company” or “Align”) on a consistent basis with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and, therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future period, and we make no representations related thereto.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and deferred revenues, useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, goodwill, income taxes, contingent liabilities, the fair values of financial instruments, stock-based compensation and the valuation of investments in privately held companies among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. These instruments have minimal credit risk exposures. Management regularly monitors their compositions and maturities. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts that exceed federally insured FDIC limits. Through June 30, 2025, the Company has not experienced any material credit losses on such deposits.
We purchase certain inventory from sole suppliers. Additionally, we rely on a limited number of hardware manufacturers. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill our supply requirements could materially and adversely impact our future operating results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(i) New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and other segment expenses. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2023-07 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this standard in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 . See Note 14 “ Segments and Geographical Information.”
(ii) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ” The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose in tabular format, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative

Table of Contents
threshold. The amendments in this ASU also require taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. There will be no impact to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations; however, the Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ” The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses, including the amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. There will be no impact to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations; however, the Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation techniques that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation techniques that are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation techniques that are unobservable for the assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable Factoring
We enter into factoring transactions on a non-recourse basis with financial institutions to sell certain of our non-U.S. accounts receivable. We account for these transactions as sales of financial assets and include the cash proceeds as a part of our cash flows from operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Total accounts receivable sold under factoring arrangements was $ 18.3 million and $ 11.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 24.7 million and $ 25.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Factoring fees on the sales of receivables were recorded in Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material.
Investments in Privately Held Companies
Our investments in privately held companies in which we cannot exercise significant influence and do not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control are accounted for as investments in equity securities. We have elected to account for all investments in equity securities in accordance with the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, we record the value of our investments in equity securities at cost, minus impairment, if any. Additionally, we adjust the carrying value of our investments in equity securities for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.
On April 24, 2023 and April 22, 2024, we entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with Heartland Dental Holding Corporation (“Heartland”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements we acquired less than a 5 % equity interest in Heartland through the purchase of Class A Common Stock for $ 150 million in total. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we recorded a $ 6 million increase to the carrying value of our investment, which increased the total carrying value of our investment in Heartland to $ 156 million.
On December 19, 2024 and June 5, 2025, we entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Smile Doctors Subscription Agreements”) with New SD Holding Company, L.P. (“SD Holding Company”). Pursuant to the Smile Doctors Subscription Agreements we acquired less than a 3 % equity interest in SD Holding Company through the purchase of Class A Common Units for $ 40 million in total. SD Holding Company owns a controlling interest, through intermediary entities, in Smile Doctors, LLC.
Based on a review of the relevant facts and circumstances, primarily observable transactions for identical investments, we determined that no adjustments to the carrying values of our investments were necessary for the three or six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our investments in privately held companies in which we can exercise significant influence are accounted for as equity method investments. We have elected to account for our equity method investments under the fair value option.
The carrying value of our investments in equity securities and equity method investments are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other assets and any price adjustments or impairment, if any, are recorded in Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain assets and liabilities. These forward contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As a result of the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts, we recognized a net loss of $ 27.1 million and a net gain of $ 7.5 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a net loss of $ 38.6 million and a net gain $ 27.2 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Recognized gains and losses from the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was no t material.

Our unfulfilled performance obligations, including deferred revenues and backlog, as of June 30, 2025 were $ 1,411.5 million. These performance obligations are expected to be fulfilled over a period of up to five years .
Note 4 . Business Combination
On January 2, 2024 (the “Cubicure Acquisition Date”), we completed the acquisition of privately-held Cubicure GmbH (“Cubicure”) (the “Cubicure Acquisition”) . Cubicure is an Austrian company and specializes in direct 3D printing solutions for polymer additive manufacturing that develops, produces and distributes innovative materials, equipment and processes for 3D printing solutions. The Cubicure Acquisition is intended to support and scale our strategic innovation roadmap and strengthen the Align Digital Platform. In fiscal year 2021, we acquired a 9.04 % equity interest in Cubicure. Subsequently, on the Cubicure Acquisition Date, we acquired the remaining equity of Cubicure. Prior to the acquisition, we also had technology license and joint development agreements with Cubicure.
The fair value of consideration transferred in the acquisition is shown in the table below (in thousands):
Cash paid to Cubicure stockholders $ 80,142
Fair value of pre-existing equity interest ownership 7,968
Settlement of pre-existing relationship - accounts payable ( 2,316 )
Total purchase consideration paid $ 85,794
The Cubicure Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ( “ASC 805”) that was achieved in stages. As a result of the Cubicure Acquisition, we remeasured our pre-existing equity interest in Cubicure at fair value prior to the Cubicure Acquisition. Based on the fair value of this equity interest, derived from the purchase price, we estimated the fair value of our 9.04 % pre-existing investment in Cubicure to be approximately $ 8.0 million. The remeasurement resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $ 4.1 million, which was reflected as a component of Other income (expense), net within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In 2021, we initiated Joint development (“JDA”) and Technology license agreements (“TLA”) to provide us with access to Cubicure’s technology. The settlement of the JDA and TLA were concluded to be at market terms on the Cubicure Acquisition Date; therefore, no gain or loss was recorded related to the settlement of these contracts. We also had accounts payable from the pre-existing arrangements with Cubicure of $ 2.3 million, which were effectively settled and reduced from the purchase consideration of the Cubicure Acquisition.
The allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):
Working capital $ 1,039
Property & equipment 975
Developed technology 47,000
Other non-current asset 1,483
Other liabilities ( 12,279 )
Goodwill 47,576
Total $ 85,794
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets, and represents the value associated with future technology, future customer relationships and the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. None of this goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. We allocated all goodwill to our Clear Aligner reporting unit.
As part of the Cubicure Acquisition, we acquired a developed technology intangible asset. The acquired developed technology had an estimated fair value of $ 47.0 million as of the Cubicure Acquisition Date and will be amortized over a useful life of thirteen years .
The fair value of developed technology was estimated under the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method and the fair value estimates for developed technology include significant assumptions in the prospective financial information which include, but

are not limited to, the projected future cash flows associated with the technology, the asset's life cycle and a present value factor.
Acquisition related costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. Acquisition related costs were not material.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of Cubicure from the Cubicure Acquisition Date. Separate post-acquisition operating results and pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the effect is not material to our consolidated financial results.

Note 6 . Credit Facility
We maintain a credit facility, as amended in December 2022, that includes a $ 300.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit and a $ 50.0 million letter of credit sub-limit. The facility matures on December 23, 2027 and accrues interest, at our election, based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for the applicable period or a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin.
The facility includes financial covenants and performance requirements. As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the facility and were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility in all material respects.
Note 7. Legal Proceedings
Antitrust Class Actions
On June 5, 2020, a dental practice named Simon and Simon, PC (doing business as City Smiles) brought an antitrust action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of itself and a putative class of similarly situated practices seeking treble monetary damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief relating to our alleged market activities in alleged clear aligner and intraoral scanner markets. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint and added VIP Dental Spas as a plaintiff on August 14, 2020. On December 18, 2023, the court certified a class of persons or entities that purchased Invisalign directly from us between January 1, 2019 and March 31, 2022. The court denied Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of purchasers of scanners. On February 21, 2024, the court granted our motion for summary judgment on all claims brought by the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs have appealed the district court’s summary judgment ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument was held on April 10, 2025.
On May 3, 2021, an individual named Misty Snow brought an antitrust action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of herself and a putative class of similarly situated individuals seeking treble monetary damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief relating to our alleged market activities in alleged clear aligner and intraoral scanner markets based on Section 2 of the Sherman Act. Plaintiffs have since filed several amended complaints adding new plaintiffs, various state law claims and allegations based on Section 1 of the Sherman Act. On November 29, 2023, the court certified a class of indirect purchasers of Invisalign between July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2023 and a class of indirect purchasers of Invisalign seeking injunctive relief. On February 21, 2024, the court granted our motion for summary judgment on the claims related to Section 2 allegations. The court entered judgment for the Section 2 and related state law claims on March 22, 2024. Plaintiffs have appealed the district court’s summary judgment ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument was held on April 10, 2025.
We are currently unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits and therefore we cannot determine the likelihood of loss, if any, nor estimate a range of possible loss.
In June 2024, we reached a settlement in principle with the Section 1 plaintiffs to resolve all remaining claims in the Section 1 lawsuit. In March, 2025, Align and plaintiffs agreed to a revised settlement to resolve all Section 1 claims for a
17
Table of Contents
$ 31.75 million cash payment. On May 28, 2025, the court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. The Final Approval/Fairness hearing has been set for November 20, 2025. We are unable to predict the timeline or outcome of the court’s final approval decision. We continue to believe that plaintiffs’ Section 1 claims are without merit and remain ready to vigorously defend ourselves against those claims.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Align accrued a total loss of $ 31.75 million, consisting of $ 27.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and an additional loss accrual of $ 4.25 million in the first quarter of 2025, for the settlement of the Section 1 claims described above. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we issued a payment for the full settlement amount to an escrow agency in accordance with the court's preliminary approval.
Straumann Litigation
On April 11, 2024, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against ClearCorrect Operating, LLC, ClearCorrect Holdings., Inc. and Institut Straumann AG (collectively the “Defendants”). The complaint asserts claims of false advertising, unfair competition, civil conspiracy and infringement of our patents related to aligner material, treatment planning, and intraoral scanner technologies. Among other things, the complaint seeks relief enjoining Defendants’ infringement of multiple of our multilayer material patents through Defendants’ manufacture, sale and offer for sale of aligners made with Zendura FLX/ClearQuartz materials. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint, which are pending. Defendants are also seeking to invalidate all of our asserted patents at the district court and United States Patent and Trial Appeal Board.
On July 9, 2024, Defendants filed counterclaims against us alleging antitrust violations, false advertising, unfair competition and breach of contract. Among other things, the counterclaims seek to stop our alleged business practices and money damages. On September 13, 2024, we filed a motion to dismiss Defendants’ counterclaims. On February 7, 2025, the magistrate judge recommended denial of the motion to dismiss. On February 21, 2025, we filed objections to the recommendation, which are pending before the district court judge. A trial is scheduled for May 11, 2026.
We believe Defendants’ counterclaims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.
In addition to the above, in the ordinary course of our operations, we are involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, patent infringement claims, government investigations, labor and employment claims, breach of contract claims, tax and other matters. Regardless of the outcome, these proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Although the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may change in the future as litigation and events related thereto unfold; we currently do not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 8 . Commitments and Contingencies
Tax Matter
Beginning in the third quarter of 2023 and continuing through the first quarter of 2024, we received cumulative assessments of approximately $ 100 million from His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) for unpaid value added tax (“VAT”) related to certain clear aligner sales made during the period of October 2019 through May 2023. We were required to pay these assessments prior to contesting or litigating the matter in statutory appeal. We have historically asserted and continue to assert that doctor prescribed clear aligners sold by dentists for the orthodontic treatment of patient malocclusions are exempt from VAT, that we have reasonably relied upon statements and guidance by HMRC and that our interpretation of United Kingdom legislation is appropriate.
In October 2024, the Company and HMRC reached a settlement agreement regarding the unpaid VAT related to certain aligner sales made during the period of October 2019 through mid-October 2023. As part of the settlement, HMRC agreed to vacate the judicial review (before the Administrative Court) originally scheduled for October 9th and October 10th, 2024, refund to the Company all assessments paid for the period of October 2019 through May 2023 and withdraw any potential assessments for the period from June 2023 through mid-October 2023. HMRC has refunded to the Company the assessed amounts, approximately $ 100 million.
A statutory appeal (before the First-tier Tribunal - “Tax Tribunal”) was held on January 27th through January 30th, 2025. On April 24, 2025, the Tax Tribunal issued a ruling in our favor indicating that clear aligners are “dental prostheses for the
18
Table of Contents
purposes of VAT”, which is a key condition for the VAT exemption. On June 13, 2025, HMRC applied for permission to appeal the Tax Tribunal decision, which was granted on July 15, 2025. On August 1, 2025, we were notified that HMRC had lodged their grounds for appeal to the Upper Tribunal.
In August 2025 we stopped charging VAT to our United Kingdom customers. It is not possible at this stage to accurately evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome from the Upper Tribunal statutory appeal, nor estimate a range of possible loss.
Indemnification Provisions
In the normal course of business, to facilitate transactions in our services and products, we indemnify certain parties: customers, vendors, lessors and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, services to be provided by us and intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and our executive officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. Several of these agreements limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim.
It is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Additionally, we have a limited history of prior indemnification claims and the payments we have made under such agreements have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, to the extent that valid indemnification claims arise in the future, future payments by us could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period. As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably possible.
Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

Market-Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (“MSUs”)
We grant MSUs to members of senior management. Each MSU represents the right to one share of our common stock. The actual number of MSUs which will be eligible to vest will be based on the performance of our stock price relative to the performance of a stock market index over the vesting period. MSUs vest over a period of three years and the maximum number of shares eligible to vest is 250 % of the MSUs initially granted.

Note 11. Accounting for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes was $ 48.9 million and $ 47.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 28.2 % and 32.9 %, respectively. Our provision for income taxes was $ 96.1 million and $ 100.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 30.6 % and 33.3 %. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the three and six months

ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 primarily due to the recognition of additional tax expense resulting from U.S. taxes on foreign earnings, foreign income taxed at different rates, state income taxes and non-deductible expenses in the U.S.
We exercise significant judgment in regard to estimates of future market growth, forecasted earnings and projected taxable income in determining the provision for income taxes and for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future benefit from deferred tax assets. We continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets as we take into account new information. We may be required to adjust the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if we determine, based on available evidence at the time of the determination, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes to the valuation allowance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $ 149.6 million and $ 145.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, a material amount of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. The increase in our unrecognized tax benefits relates primarily to positions taken on income tax return calculations finalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of certain domestic research and development expenses, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. We are currently evaluating the impact this legislation will have on our future results of operations, financial position and cash flows, if any.

Note 14 . Segments and Geographical Information
Segment Information
We report segment information based on the management approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, for decision making and performance assessment as the basis for determining our reportable segments. We group our operations into two reportable segments; Clear Aligner segment and Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM services (“Systems and Services”) segment, which are based on our predominant product lines.
Our CODM uses gross profit and income from operations to assess each reportable segments performance, by reviewing each measure against internal forecasts and historical performance. Our CODM may also benchmark each segments performance against our competitors and external expectations.

Executive Overview of Results
Trends and Uncertainties
27
Table of Contents
Our strategic priorities focus on four principal pillars for growth: (i) international expansion; (ii) general dental practitioners (“GP”) treatment; (iii) patient demand; and (iv) orthodontic utilization. Our growth strategy depends on our ability to facilitate the digital transformation of dentistry, our continuous focus on innovation, and expansion to meet and exceed evolving customer expectations as the array of products and services available to them increases. Below is a discussion of the significant trends and uncertainties that could impact our operations:
Macroeconomic Challenges, Trade Impediments and Geopolitical Tensions
Our revenues are susceptible to fluctuations resulting from events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, threats or actual imposition of tariffs, inflation, higher interest rates, customs duties and fees by nations and retaliatory actions, threats of or actual slowdowns or recessions, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, supply chain challenges, market volatility, employment levels, health insurance coverage, and other factors, each of which impacts customer confidence, consumer sentiment and ultimately demand for dental services. Many of these factors also impact the availability of certain raw materials, parts and components used in our products as well as our costs and those of our suppliers through higher raw material prices, transportation costs, labor costs, supply and distribution operations. In the second quarter of 2025, we believe sales of our products were adversely impacted by certain macroeconomic conditions, including global tariff volatility, inflation, and higher interest rates, that negatively affected dental patient demand. Patient traffic growth remained uneven for many doctors, with orthodontic starts down for four consecutive years. We believe uncertainty not only impacts consumer purchasing decisions but also the decisions that doctors make, especially those doctors who offer both clear aligners and wires and brackets and who have existing inventories of wire and brackets and the time to treat patients when orthodontic starts are slowing or diminishing. In the second quarter of 2025, we believe this resulted in an increase in orthodontic starts using brackets and wires in lieu of clear aligners. We believe these trends may continue as long as consumer economic uncertainty persists, particularly if tariffs or the threat of tariffs and retaliatory actions impair discretionary spending. We also expect the geopolitical conflicts involving Ukraine, the Middle East, China and other regions will continue to add to market uncertainties and dampen consumer sentiment and demand.
More directly, we believe government actions relating to implemented or proposed tariffs and retaliatory actions in key strategic countries or regions, particularly in the United States, China, Europe, Brazil, Canada, Israel and Mexico may adversely impact our revenue and cost of goods sold. Additionally, the trade war and geopolitical tensions between the United States and China may result in the limitation or prohibition of the availability of certain raw materials, components and parts necessary for our products or the products of our suppliers. The degree of our exposure is dependent on, among other things, the type of goods subject to any tariffs or trade restrictions enacted, the tariff rates or limits imposed, the timing of the tariffs or restrictions and any other retaliatory measures enacted. The impact may vary by time and region, making operational results uncertain and difficult to predict. These events may also cause a shift in public opinion about companies based in the United States and this may have an adverse impact on our reputation and business. We continue to closely monitor the foregoing issues, assess their potential impact on our operations and financial results, and implement plans to mitigate the impact of any adverse events.
Additionally, a material amount of our revenues are derived internationally and many of our international operations are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In the second quarter of 2025, the U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies, which positively impacted our financial condition and results of operations for the quarter. Foreign exchange volatility and the subsequent strengthening or weakening of the U.S dollar against other currencies remains uncertain and unpredictable.
We continue to monitor the potential for violence and military actions that may directly or indirectly impact our personnel, manufacturing, supply chain, and sales. For instance, ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, including military actions in Iran and Israel, as well as increased geopolitical tensions involving Taiwan and the South China Sea may further exacerbate general and regional macroeconomic instability. This is particularly true if fighting erupts, intensifies, spreads to other locations, creates shipping and logistical challenges or cost increases, leads to sanctions or boycotts, or otherwise materially impacts our operations or consumer spending. Our iTero business is headquartered in Israel and, although the sales, delivery times and cost of shipping have not been materially impacted to date, the situation remains fluid. We have implemented contingency measures to help reduce future risks, but it is uncertain whether further escalation could disrupt our operations. While there have been export and import restrictions imposed against products originating from and businesses operating in Israel, they have not materially impacted our sales or operations to date although we continue to monitor the risk.
We expect to take a series of actions in the second half of fiscal 2025 to streamline operations and reallocate resources to better align with our long-term growth and profitability objectives. Further discussion of these potential actions may be found in Part II, Item 5 “Other Information.”

demands with innovative treatment options that include more choices to address a wider scope of treatment goals and budgets based on our existing and new products. This may result in larger and unpredictable variations in geographic and product mix and selling prices with uncertain implications on our financial statements and business operations. For instance, we continue to experience a shift from certain of our higher average selling priced comprehensive products to lower average selling priced products such as our Invisalign Comprehensive 3in3 product.
We strive to manage the challenges from the trends and uncertainties, including the macroeconomic conditions, tariffs and retaliatory measures, military conflicts and the evolution of our target markets, by focusing on improving our operations, further increasing flexibility and efficiencies in our processes, adjusting our business models to changing circumstances and offering products that meet market demand. Specifically, we are managing financial impacts through strategic product innovations, introductions and pricing actions, implementing cost saving measures and evaluating hiring needs.
Further discussion of the impact of these challenges on our business may be found in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our performance against the foregoing strategic priorities by the achievement of key financial and operating metrics. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our business operations reflect the following:
• Revenues of $1,012 million, a decrease of 1.6% year-over-year;
• Clear Aligner revenues of $805 million, a decrease of 3.3% year-over-year;
• Clear Aligner case volume increased 0.3% year-over-year and Clear Aligner case volume for teens and growing patients increased from 216.7 thousand shipments to 223.2 thousand or 3.0% year-over-year;
• Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM services revenues of $208 million, an increase of 5.6% year-over-year;
• Income from operations of $163 million and operating margin of 16.1%;
• Effective tax rate of 28.2%;
• Net income of $125 million with diluted net income per share of $1.72;
• Cash and cash equivalents of $901 million as of June 30, 2025;

Other Statistical Data and Trends
• As of June 30, 2025, approximately 21 million people worldwide have been treated with our Invisalign system. Management measures these results by comparing to the millions of people who can benefit from straighter teeth and uses this data to target opportunities to expand the market for orthodontics by educating consumers about the benefits of straighter teeth using the Invisalign system.
• For the second quarter of 2025, the total number of Invisalign trained doctors cases were shipped to (doctor submitters) was 86.3 thousand compared to 86.1 thousand in the second quarter of 2024, a 0.1% increase.
• The total utilization rate in the second quarter of 2025 remained flat at 7.5 cases per doctor compared to the second quarter of 2024.
• The clear aligner revenue per case shipment (clear aligner revenues divided by case shipments) decreased from $1,295 in the second quarter of 2024 to $1,250 in the second quarter of 2025, a 3.5% decrease.
Results of Operations
Net Revenues by Reportable Segment
We group our operations into two reportable segments: Clear Aligner segment and Systems and Services segment.
• Our Clear Aligner segment consists of Comprehensive Products, Non-Comprehensive Products and Non-Case revenues as defined below:
29
Table of Contents
▪ Comprehensive Products include, but are not limited to, Invisalign Comprehensive, Invisalign First and Invisalign Comprehensive 3in3.
▪ Non-Comprehensive Products include, but are not limited to, Invisalign Moderate, Lite and Express packages, Invisalign Go and Invisalign Go Plus and Invisalign Palatal Expander.
▪ In the United States, Canada and EMEA, we also offer a Doctor Subscription Program which is our monthly subscription-based clear aligner program. The program allows doctors the flexibility to order retainers and low-stage “touch-up” clear aligners within their subscribed tier and is designed for a segment of experienced Invisalign trained doctors who are currently not regularly using our retainers or low-stage aligners. The low-stage aligners, the Touch up product, are included as a Non-Comprehensive Product.
▪ Non-Case revenues include, but are not limited to, retention products including retention aligners ordered through the Doctor Subscription Program, Invisalign training, adjusting tools used by dental professionals during the course of treatment and Invisalign Accessory Products that are complementary to our doctor-prescribed principal products such as aligner cases (clamshells), teeth whitening products, cleaning solutions (crystals, foam and other material) and other oral health products available in certain commerce channels in select markets.
▪ Our Systems and Services segment consists of sales related to our iTero intraoral scanning systems, which includes a single hardware platform and restorative or orthodontic software options, scanner wand upgrades, and non-system revenues from leases of scanner systems, sales of pre-owned scanner systems, subscription software, disposables, pay per scan services, as well as exocad ’ s CAD/CAM software solutions that integrate workflows to dental labs and dental practices.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total net revenues decreased by $16 million and $34 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in Clear Aligner net revenues driven by a decrease in average selling price (“ASP”). The decrease in Clear Aligner net revenues was partially offset by an increase in Systems and Services net revenues primarily due to an increase in sales of scanner wands.
Clear Aligner
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Clear Aligner net revenues decreased by $27 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in ASP, driven by a product mix shift to lower priced products and higher discounts,

resulting in a decrease of net revenues of $34 million. The decrease from ASP was partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates and an increase in volume, which increased net revenues by $5 million and $2 million, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Clear Aligner net revenues decreased by $48 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in ASP, driven by a product mix shift to lower priced products and higher discounts, resulting in a decrease of net revenues of $73 million. Clear Aligner net revenues were further negatively impacted by $21 million due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in volume which increased net revenues by $47 million.
Systems and Services
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Systems and Services net revenues increased by $11 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase of $11 million in sales of scanner wands, driven by strong volume partially offset by lower scanner wand ASP, a $5 million increase from non-system sales and a $1 million favorable impact from foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by lower scanner system sales of $6 million, primarily driven by lower scanner system ASP.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Systems and Services net revenues increased by $13 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase of $23 million in sales of scanner wands, driven by strong volume partially offset by lower scanner wand ASP, and a $10 million increase from non-system sales. These increases were partially offset by lower scanner system sales of $15 million, driven by lower volume and ASP, and a $4 million negative impact from unfavorable foreign exchange rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Trends
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $901 million and $1,044 million, respectively, of which approximately $708 million and $855 million, respectively, were held by our foreign subsidiaries. We continue to evaluate opportunities to repatriate our foreign earnings if or when needed. We do not expect to incur significant additional costs upon repatriation of these foreign earnings. We generate sufficient operating cash flow from our domestic operations and have access to $300 million under our revolving line of credit. We believe that our current cash balances and the borrowing capacity under our credit facility, if necessary, will be sufficient to fund our business for at least the next 12 months.
Our material cash requirements as of June 30, 2025 are as follows:
• Our purchase commitments consist primarily of open purchase orders for goods and services, including manufacturing inventory, supplies and services, sales and marketing, research and development services and technological services, issued in the normal course of business. There have been no material changes to our purchase commitments for goods and services during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
• There have been no material changes to our future operating lease payments during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
• We expect our investments in capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025 to be between $100 million and $125 million. Capital expenditures primarily relate to technology upgrades as well as additional manufacturing capacity in support of our continued expansion. Despite the challenging market conditions, we intend to continue to invest in research and development, manufacturing and treatment planning to meet actual and anticipated demand.
• In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock. The April 2025 Repurchase Program is expected to be completed over a period of up to three years. We continually evaluate opportunities to repurchase shares of our common stock depending on various factors including our share price and current liquidity requirements. Refer to Note 10 “Common Stock Repurchase Program” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details on our stock repurchase programs.
• As of June 30, 2025, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material impact on our liquidity or capital resources.
• On July 7, 2025, we issued a payment for $31.75 million to an escrow agency to settle an antitrust matter. Refer to Note 7 “ Legal Proceedings ” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash flows from operations of $181 million resulted primarily from our net income of approximately $218 million as well as the following:
Significant adjustments to net income
• Depreciation and amortization of $80 million related to our investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;
• Stock-based compensation of $93 million related to equity awards granted to employees and directors;
• Non-cash operating lease costs of $19 million; and
• Other non-cash operating activities of $8 million primarily related to an increase in our bad debt allowance.
Significant changes in working capital
• Net outflow of $121 million in accounts receivable due to timing of collections;
• Net outflow of $36 million in accrued and other long-term liabilities primarily due to the payment of fiscal year 2024 bonuses in the first quarter of 2025; and
• Net outflow of $65 million in deferred revenue.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $57 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 which was primarily related to an outflow of $47 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment and $10 million for our additional investment in SD Holding Company.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $303 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and primarily consisted of an outflow of $297 million for share repurchases and payroll taxes paid for equity awards through share withholdings of $20 million which were partially offset by $14 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures at the date of the financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill and finite-lived acquired intangible assets, income taxes and legal proceedings and litigation. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues are derived primarily from the sale of aligners, scanners and services from our Clear Aligner and Systems and Services segments. We enter into sales contracts that may consist of multiple distinct performance obligations where certain performance obligations of the sales contract are not delivered in one reporting period. We measure and allocate revenues according to ASC 606-10, “Revenues from Contracts with Customers.”
Determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) in order to allocate consideration from the contract to the individual performance obligations is the result of various factors, such as historical prices, changing trends and market conditions, costs and gross margins. While changes in the allocation of the SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total revenues recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which would have a material effect on our financial position and result of operations. This is because the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, delivered or undelivered, at the inception of the contract based on the SSP of each distinct performance obligation.
We allocate consideration for each clear aligner treatment plan based on each unit’s SSP. Management considers a variety of factors such as same or similar product historical sales, costs and gross margin, which may vary over time depending upon
36
Table of Contents
the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation in making these estimates. In addition to historical data, we take into consideration changing trends and market conditions. For treatment plans with multiple options, we also consider usage rates, which is the number of times a customer is expected to order more aligners after the initial shipment. Our process for estimating usage rates requires significant judgment and evaluation of inputs, including historical usage data by region, country and channel.
We estimate the SSP of each element in a scanner system and services sale taking into consideration same or similar product historical prices as well as our discounting strategies. For CAD/CAM services, we estimate the SSP of each element, including the initial software license and maintenance and support, using data such as historical prices.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate, foreign currency exchange and inflation risks that could impact our financial position and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to the broad market risk that is created by the global market disruptions and uncertainties resulting from macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical events, trade and other international disputes, including various military conflicts and consumer confidence. Further discussion on these risks may be found in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates could impact our anticipated interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents balance. As of June 30, 2025, we are not exposed to interest rate risk on our unsecured revolving line of credit. An immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and cash flows. As of June 30, 2025, we had no short term or long-term marketable securities.
We have not historically used derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As a result of our international operations, our financial performance has been affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and economic conditions in global markets. There is no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely impact our results of operations or financial position in the future; however, generally we conduct sales in the local currencies of the countries in which we operate, which provides a degree of natural hedging as most subsidiaries’ also incur their operating expenses in those same currencies.
To further reduce the short-term impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain assets and liabilities, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts in markets where we have meaningful exposure, primarily involving the Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan, Polish Zloty and Canadian Dollar. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, typically have original maturities of one month and are marked to market through earnings each reporting period. The gains and losses from these forward contracts are intended to offset the gains and losses in the underlying foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
As our international footprint expands, we continuously reassess our strategy for managing foreign exchange risk. Although we continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and, where appropriate, mitigate our exposure through the use of forward contracts, a hypothetical 10% aggregate change in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Inflation Risk
The economy has been impacted by certain macroeconomic challenges which have contributed to a rising inflationary trend that have impacted both our revenues and costs globally. If our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. There is no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be adversely impacted by inflation in the future.
Investment Risk
We hold equity securities in privately held companies, which are subject to equity price risks and exposures from the evolving macroeconomic environment, including uncertainty and volatility in financial markets and other changes in economic conditions, such as an increase in trade tensions and related tariffs, that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our investments.
Our investments in privately held companies primarily consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values. We elected to account for our investments in privately held companies using the measurement alternative, which is cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes in fair value resulting from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. We perform a qualitative assessment at each reporting date to determine whether there are triggering events for impairment. The qualitative assessment considers factors such as but not limited to, the investee’s financial performance and business prospects; industry performance; economic environment; and other relevant events and factors affecting the investee. Valuations of our equity investments are complex due to the lack of readily available market data and observable transactions. The carrying value of our investments in privately held companies was $198.2 million at June 30, 2025 and $188.2 million at December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2025, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth in Note 7 “ Legal Proceedings ” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q .
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following discusses some of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and the price of our common stock. You should carefully review this section, as well as our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and other information appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for important information regarding these and other risks that may affect us. The order we have chosen to list the
38
Table of Contents
risks below or the sections in which we have identified them should not be interpreted to mean we deem any risks to be more or less important or likely to occur or, if any do occur, that their impact may be any less significant than any others. These risk factors should be considered in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they could cause our actual results and conditions to differ materially from those statements. Before you invest in Align, you should know that investing involves risks, including those described below. The risks below are not the only risks we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Macroeconomic and External Risks
Our business, financial condition and results of operations depend on global and regional economic conditions. Inflation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in consumer confidence and demand, general economic weakness and actual or potential slowdowns or recessions have and could in the future materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Macroeconomic conditions impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, which can adversely affect demand for dental services and our products. Consumer spending habits are affected by, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, consumer confidence, threats or actual imposition of tariffs, customs duties and fees by nations and retaliatory actions, inflation, general economic weakness, actual or potential slowdowns or recessions, pandemics, wars and military actions, employment levels, health insurance coverage, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, interest rates, market volatility and perceptions of current and future economic conditions. Macroeconomic conditions can, among other things, reduce or shift spending away from elective procedures, drive patients to pursue less costly orthodontic treatments, decrease the number of orthodontic case starts, reduce patient traffic in dentists’ offices, or reduce demand for dental services generally. For instance, decreased demand for dental services can cause dentists and labs to revert to using wires and brackets more often for orthodontic treatment instead of clear aligners and postpone investments in capital equipment, such as intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM equipment and software. Uncertain economic outlooks for, or declines in the economic outlooks of, the United States, Chinese, European and other international economies have and could in the future materially adversely affect consumer demand and dental practice spending. Increases in the cost of fuel and energy, food and other essential items as well as higher interest rates have and could in the future reduce consumers’ disposable income, which could cause a decrease in discretionary spending for our products.
Inflation has and may continue to adversely impact spending and trade activities and may unpredictably impact global and regional economies. Efforts by central banks and federal, state and local governments to combat inflation could result in an economic recession or slowdown or adversely impact consumer spending for a prolonged period of time. Higher inflation has and may continue to increase domestic and international shipping costs, raw material prices and labor rates, which could adversely impact the costs of producing, procuring and shipping our products. Our products or one or more of the materials or components of our products may also be subject to tariffs imposed by the United States or other countries. We may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of the increased costs or pass price increases on to our customers, resulting in downward pressure on our operating results. Attempts to offset cost increases with price increases may reduce sales, increase customer dissatisfaction or otherwise harm our reputation. Any of these events could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We have significant international operations and sales and are therefore exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies that have and may continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although the U.S. dollar is our reporting currency, a large portion of our net revenues and expenses are generated in foreign currencies. While we forecast our balance sheet exposures to foreign currency fluctuations and utilize foreign currency forward contracts to moderate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on certain assets and liabilities, these contracts may not eliminate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency. Currency exchange rate fluctuations have and may continue to materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be impacted by geopolitical events, new, proposed or retaliatory tariffs, trade and international disputes, wars, military actions and terrorism, or major public health crises .
Geopolitical events, tariffs, trade and international disputes, wars, military actions and terrorism, or major public health crises have and could in the future harm or disrupt international commerce and the global economy and could materially adversely affect our business with our customers and consumers, suppliers, contract manufacturers, commercial intermediaries and other business partners. Such events have and could result in, among other things, supply chain and trade disruptions, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, new tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, trade protection measures, quotas, embargoes, safeguards, trade sanctions and countersanctions, customs inquiries or restrictions, boycotts, reduced consumer spending, government shut downs, cyberattacks, energy shortages or power outages, energy rationing that adversely impacts our manufacturing facilities, rising fuel or rising costs of producing, procuring, and shipping our products, constraints, volatility or disruption in the financial markets, deaths or injuries to our employees, restrictions and shortages of food, water, shelter and medical supplies, data or information exchange, disruptions, interruptions or limitations in telecommunication services, critical systems or applications reliant on a stable and uninterrupted communications infrastructure, and protests that may impact delivery of our products to customers or destruction of property. Such events may also cause a shift in public opinion about companies based in the United States or in the regions where we operate or plan to operate, which could adversely impact our reputation and business.
Tariffs or proposed tariffs, and any retaliatory trade measures taken in response to such tariffs may increase the cost of our products and components and raw materials used to make them. A significant portion of the products we sell, and the components and raw materials used in our products are originally manufactured or sourced outside the United States. For
39
Table of Contents
example, we manufacture clear aligners in our facility in Mexico and ship them to the United States, primarily for our United States customers with the remainder eventually shipping to other international locations. Tariffs would result in additional costs for our products, which may reduce demand for our products and adversely impact our gross margin and results of operations, and we may not be able to fully or substantially mitigate the impact of any new or increased tariffs or pass price increases on to our customers. Trade policies and disputes could result in increased tariffs and other trade restrictions and protectionist measures, which could increase our manufacturing costs, increase prices of and reduce demand for our products, limit our ability to sell to certain customers, limit or prohibit the availability of certain raw materials, components and parts necessary for our products or the products of our suppliers, or impede or slow the movement of our goods across borders. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain.
Foreign countries have and may continue to adopt or rescind other measures, such as controls on the import or export of goods, technology or data, including personal data, which could adversely impact our operations and supply chains or limit our ability to offer certain products and services. We may take various actions in response to these measures, including changing suppliers, where we manufacture our products, or restructuring business relationships. Complying with new or revised trade restrictions may be expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to our logistics and operations, and more costly for us and our customers. Such restrictions may be announced with little or no advance notice and we may be unable to effectively mitigate any adverse impacts in a timely manner or at all.
Military conflicts have and may in the future materially adversely impact the economies in which we operate. Our iTero operations, headquartered in Israel, are close to areas that have been affected by ongoing conflict and military action, which may impact our employees and our iTero business and operations. Some employees in Israel have been called for military service in the current conflict and they may be absent for certain periods of time. Furthermore, our facilities may be damaged or our manufacturing capability or delivery schedules may be impacted as a result of the ongoing conflict. Our supply chains and demand for our products could be impaired as a result of hostilities, export and import restrictions, sanctions or boycotts. These events could disrupt ongoing operations and may materially impact the logistics, timing and cost of shipping of our products and materials or our ability to operate out of impacted areas. Additionally, China’s territorial conflicts with other neighboring countries may impact our operations and sales in China. We cannot predict the progress or outcome of these events or the reactions by governments, businesses or consumers and each event could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our operations may be impacted by natural disasters, which may become more frequent or severe as a result of climate change, and may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as those of our customers and consumers, suppliers, contract manufacturers, commercial intermediaries and other business partners.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, urban fires, volcanic eruptions and other extreme weather conditions can cause deaths, injuries and major public health crises, power outages, property damage, restrictions and shortages of food, water, shelter and medical supplies, telecommunications failures, materials scarcity, price volatility and other adverse consequences. If a natural disaster occurs in a region where one of our facilities or those of our customers or suppliers are located, our or their employees or facilities could be impacted, valuable research could be lost, and our ability to create treatment plans, respond to customer inquiries or manufacture and ship our products could be compromised, causing significant delays and reputational harm. Climate change could increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters and could change the supply, demand or availability of sources of energy or resources material to manufacturing our products and operations. It could also affect the availability or cost of materials, goods, and services on which we and our suppliers, contract manufacturers, commercial intermediaries and other business partners rely, which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Business and Industry Risks
Demand for our products and services may not increase or may decrease for many reasons, including resistance to the innovative and business-model-disruptive nature of some of our products and services, which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our products and services require our customers and consumers to forego traditional treatment methods. For example, Invisalign treatment is a significant departure from traditional orthodontic wires and brackets, and our customers and consumers may not find it cost-effective or preferable. A number of dental professionals believe Invisalign treatment is only appropriate for a limited percentage of patients. Additionally, our clear aligners and iTero products utilize digital technology and some dental professionals have and may continue to resist moving to a digital platform. Increased acceptance of our products and services depends in part on the recommendations of dental professionals, professional associations, societies and organizations, as well as other factors, including efficacy, safety, ease of use, reliability, aesthetics, third-party reimbursement, price compared to competing products and traditional treatment methods, and perceptions regarding single-use or non-recyclable plastics. If demand for our products or services fails to increase, or decreases, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Our net revenues depend primarily on sales of the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners and declines in volume or ASP may adversely affect net revenues, gross profit and net income.
Our net revenues are primarily dependent on sales of the Invisalign System an d iTero intraoral scanners. Of the two, we expect the Invisalign System to continue to represent the majority of our net revenues, making sales of it critical to our success.
The ASPs of our products, particularly the Invisalign System, are influenced by numerous factors, including the mix of product treatment packages, geographical mix, channel mix and timing of products sold (particularly the timing and quantity of
40
Table of Contents
orders for additional clear aligners for certain Invisalign products), promotions and discounts and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we sell our products at different prices and with varying shipping and handling charges or processing fees that may differ by country. Our ASPs for the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners have been and could in the future be adversely affected if:
• we offer promotions or general or volume-based discount programs, product or services bundles, large account sales or consumer rebate programs;
• participation in promotions or programs unexpectedly increases, decreases or changes demand in material ways;
• our geographic, channel or product mix shifts to lower-priced products or to products with a higher percentage of deferred revenue;
• we decrease prices or are unable to increase prices on one or more products or services in response to increasing competitive pricing pressures;
• we introduce new or change existing products or services, or modify how we market or sell any of our new or existing products or services;
• we modify our pricing strategies for certain products or adjust pricing for certain items based on cancellation fees, shipping and handling charges or processing fees;
• we participate in government tenders, such as volume-based procurement in China; or
• our critical accounting estimates materially differ from actual results.
To stimulate product and services demand, we have a history of offering volume discounts, price reductions, and other promotions to targeted customers and consumers and releasing lower priced products. These promotional campaigns and lower-priced products have had, and may in the future have, unexpected and unintended consequences, including reduced net revenues, gross margins, operating margin and net income, ASPs and volume.
Competition in the markets for our products and services is increasing and we expect aggressive competition from existing competitors and emerging companies that introduce new technologies, products or services in the future, and customers who alone or with others create orthodontic appliances and solutions or other products or services that compete with us.
The dental industry is experiencing immense and rapid digital transformation, and we face competition from a variety of competitors including companies that specialize in products or systems and services that provide solutions similar to those that we offer. While solutions such as the Invisalign System, iTero intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM software and our digital platform facilitate this transition, we face competition from companies that seek to introduce new technologies and products and companies that remain dedicated to traditional products and services. As we continue to expand globally, we may see new competition in different geographic regions. We have experienced price-focused competition from competitors in various markets we serve and we anticipate this will continue. We may be unable to compete with these competitors or they may render our technology or products obsolete or economically unattractive, particularly as competitors incorporate artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning into new or existing services and technologies that facilitate changes in doctor-patient interactions, expectations and treatment workflows. We may be unable to devote adequate financial resources to develop or acquire new AI technologies and systems in the future and sufficiently meet evolving industry trends and consumer demands.
The number and types of competitors we face are diverse and growing rapidly. The Invisalign System competes primarily against traditional wires and brackets and increasingly with clear aligners manufactured and distributed by new market entrants and existing competitors, including traditional medical device companies, laboratories, startups and, in some cases, doctors and dental service organizations (“DSOs”). Our competitors also include direct-to-consumer companies that provide clear aligners using a business model requiring little or no in-office care from trained and licensed doctors, and doctors and DSOs who manufacture custom aligners or procure products from third-party white-label providers. Large consumer product companies may also start supplying orthodontic products. Orthodontists, GPs and DSOs have and may continue to sample competitive and alternative products and take advantage of competitive promotions and sale opportunities. Additionally, negative experiences with clear aligner products manufactured and distributed by competitors may adversely affect our reputation and demand for the Invisalign System if consumers, orthodontists, GPs and DSOs attribute these negative experiences to clear aligner therapy generally, even if our products differ significantly in design, quality, and clinical effectiveness from competitive products.
Our iTero intraoral scanners are also facing increased competition from new and existing competitors. Our scanners compete with polyvinyl siloxane impressions and numerous new or existing intraoral scanners, as well as traditional bite wing 2D dental x-rays and dental imaging systems that leverage near infrared imaging technology for detecting interproximal caries. We experience and may continue to experience competition with our scanners and software solutions by competitors who introduce products at lower prices or with functionality that better meets customer demand, including expansion of their portfolios in the digital ecosystem. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing products, existing competitors, new market entrants, or respond effectively to new technologies, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.
Our success depends on our ability to successfully develop, introduce, achieve market acceptance of, and manage new or improved products and services.
Our success depends on our ability to quickly and profitably develop, manufacture, market, and obtain and maintain regulatory approval or clearance of new, improved or refurbished products and services. We cannot ensure successful development, sales or acceptance of our products and services. The extent and rate at which our new, improved or refurbished products or services achieve market acceptance and penetration depends on many factors, including our ability to:
41
Table of Contents
• successfully predict, timely innovate, develop, and launch new or improved technologies, applications, features, products and services to meet market demand and keep pace with changes in technology, customers’ demands and industry standards;
• successfully and timely obtain regulatory approval or clearance of new or improved products or services from government agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and analogous agencies in other countries;
• cost-effectively and efficiently develop, manufacture, quality test, market, dispose of and sell new or improved products and services, including localized versions for international markets;
• properly forecast the amount and timing of new or improved product and services demand;
• allocate our research and development funding to products and services with higher growth prospects;
• ensure the compatibility of our technology, services and systems with those of our customers;
• anticipate and rapidly innovate in response to new competitive offerings and technologies;
• differentiate our products and services from those of our competitors as well as other products and services in our own portfolio and successfully articulate the benefits to potential customers;
• design and manufacture products that achieve the clinical and practice outcomes we believe necessary for market acceptance;
• manage the impact of nationalism or initiatives encouraging consumer purchases from domestic vendors;
• qualify for third-party reimbursement for procedures involving our products or services;
• offer attractive and competitive products, services and subscription plans;
• encourage customers to adopt new or improved technologies and provide the needed technical, sales and marketing support to make new or improved product and services launches successful;
• manage government procurement program restrictions; and
• source and receive quality raw materials or parts from our suppliers.
If we fail to accurately predict the needs and preferences of customers and their patients, or fail to offer viable products or services, we may invest heavily in research and development that does not lead to significant revenues. Even if we successfully innovate and develop new or improved products and services, we may incur substantial costs doing so and our profitability may suffer. Introduction and acceptance of any products and services may take significant time and effort, particularly if they require doctor education and training to understand their benefits or doctors choose to withhold judgment on a product until patients complete their treatments.
In addition, we periodically introduce new business and sales initiatives to meet customers’ needs and demands. In general, our internal resources support these initiatives without clear indications they will prove successful or be without short-term execution challenges. Should these initiatives fail, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.
We may invest in or acquire other businesses, products, technologies or other assets which may require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have and may in the future acquire, or make investments in, companies, technologies or other assets. Alternatively, we may be unable to find suitable investment or acquisition opportunities or be unable to complete investments or acquisitions on favorable terms. If we make such investments or complete acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve desired synergies and integration. Investments or acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively and may lead to negative ratings by analysts or investors, or give rise to stockholder objections or activism, which could disrupt our operations or harm our stock price. Moreover, to the extent we make strategic investments, the companies in which we invest may fail or we may ultimately own less than a majority of the outstanding shares of the company and be unable to control or have significant influence over critical issues that could harm the value of our investment.
We are subject to various risks when making a strategic investment or acquisition and integrating the operations and cultures of acquired businesses within our own, which could materially impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, including that we may:
• fail to perform proper due diligence and inherit unexpected material issues or assets, including intellectual property (“IP”) or other litigation or ongoing investigations, accounting irregularities or compliance liabilities;
• fail to comply with regulations, governmental actions, orders or decrees;
• experience information technology (“IT”) security and privacy compliance issues;
• invest in companies that generate net losses or are slow or fail to develop;
• not realize a positive return on our investment or determine that investments have declined in value, which could potentially require recording impairments;
• need to pay cash, incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for an acquisition, adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition or the trading price of our common stock;
• find it difficult to implement and harmonize company-wide financial reporting, forecasting and budgeting, accounting, billing, IT and other systems due to inconsistencies in standards, internal controls, procedures and policies;
• require significant time and resources to effectuate the integration;
• fail to retain key personnel or harm our existing culture or the culture of an acquired entity;
• not realize material portions of the expected synergies and benefits of the investment or acquisition; or
• unsuccessfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or acquired company’s know-how or fail to successfully integrate the technologies acquired.
Operational Risks
42
Table of Contents
Our results of operations have and will continue to fluctuate in the future, which makes predicting the timing and amount of customer demand and our revenues, costs, and expenditures difficult.
Our quarterly and annual operating results have and will continue to fluctuate for a variety of reasons. Some of the factors that have and could in the future cause our operating results to fluctuate include:
• changes in consumer, customer and industry demand;
• changes in manufacturing, packaging, delivery and inventory costs;
• the creditworthiness, liquidity and solvency of our customers and their ability to timely make payments when due;
• our ability to collect payments;
• our acceptance of longer customer payment cycles;
• changes in the timing of revenue recognition and our ASPs;
• seasonal fluctuations;
• geographic, channel or product mix shifts to lower priced products or to products with a higher percentage of deferred revenue;
• improvements to or changes in our products, capabilities or technologies that replace or shorten the life cycles of legacy products or cause customers to defer or stop purchasing legacy products until new products become available;
• changes in costs and expenditures, including in connection with new treatment planning and fabrication facilities and the hiring and deployment of personnel;
• the timing of clear aligner treatment order submissions, acceptance, processing and fulfillment, which can cause fluctuations in our backlog; and
• timing and fluctuation of spending around marketing and brand awareness campaigns and industry trade shows.
If we fail to accurately predict product demand, we may not have the appropriate level of our manufacturing capacity or that of one or more of our suppliers, staffing, materials, components, space, equipment or finished products. Specifically, our manufacturing process relies on sophisticated computer software and requires new technicians to undergo a long training process, often 120 days or longer. Additionally, production levels for our iTero intraoral scanners are generally based on forecasts and historic demand and we often place orders with suppliers for materials, components, sub-assemblies and finished products weeks or more in advance of projected orders. If we do not hire and train the appropriate number of technicians in anticipation of demand, our costs and expenditures may not align with our revenues or revenue growth. Additionally, to secure supplies for production of products, we periodically enter into non-cancelable minimum purchase commitments with vendors, which could impact our ability to adjust inventory for declining demand. In addition, we may be required to purchase or lease additional or larger facilities and equipment to manage demand. If we fail to timely manufacture and deliver products to meet demand, this could damage our relationships with existing customers or harm our ability to attract new customers and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may make business decisions that adversely affect our operating results such as modifications to our pricing policies and payment terms, promotions, development efforts, product releases, business structure or operations. The majority of our expenses, such as employee compensation and lease obligations, are relatively fixed in the short term. Moreover, our expense levels are based, in part, on expectations for future revenues. As a result, if our net revenues for a particular period are below expectations, we may be unable to timely or effectively reduce spending to offset any shortfalls. This variability and unpredictability could also result in our failing to meet the expectations of industry, financial analysts or investors.
We are subject to operating risks, including excess or constrained capacity and operational inefficiencies, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We are subject to operating risks, including excess or constrained capacity, operational inefficiencies and pressure on our internal systems, personnel and suppliers. To manage current and anticipated future operations effectively, we must continually implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems, hire, train, motivate, manage and retain employees, and ensure our suppliers remain diverse and capable of meeting demand for the systems, raw materials, parts and components essential to product manufacturing and delivery. We may fail to balance near-term efforts to meet existing demand with future demand, including adding personnel, creating scalable, secure and robust systems and operations, and automating processes for long-term efficiencies. Production of the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners could also be limited by capacity constraints due to a variety of factors, including labor shortages, shipping delays, our dependency on third-party vendors for key materials, parts, components and equipment, the quality of or changes in product components, and limited production yields. Any such failure could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, we have established treatment planning and manufacturing facilities closer to our international customers to provide better experiences, create efficiencies and provide redundancy should other facilities become unavailable. If one of these facilities is temporarily, partially or fully shut down, we may be unable to timely fulfill orders, which may negatively impact our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our IT systems are critical to our business. Issues with IT system and software integration, implementation, updates, and upgrades, or third-party software have previously and could again in the future disrupt our operations and have a material impact on our business, our reputation, and operating results.
We rely on the efficient, uninterrupted, and secure operation of complex IT systems and are dependent on key third-party software embedded in IT systems as well as third-party hosted IT systems to support our operations, including third-party cloud platforms. All software and IT systems are vulnerable to damage, cybersecurity attacks, or interruptions or other disruptions from a variety of sources, including rapidly developing advanced technologies (e.g., generative and agentic AI technologies).
43
Table of Contents
To effectively manage and improve our operations, our IT systems and applications require an ongoing commitment of significant expenditures and resources to maintain, protect, upgrade, enhance, and restore existing systems and develop new systems to keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving industry and regulatory standards, including privacy, security and data protection laws, regulations and actions, increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats, and changing customer preferences. Usage of online and hosted technology platforms by us, our customers, and suppliers, including remote working, teledentistry, and new or expanded use of online service platforms, products, and solutions such as doctor, consumer, and patient apps have increased the demands on and risks to our IT systems and personnel. Moreover, we continue to transform business processes, extend established processes to new subsidiaries, and implement additional functionality in our enterprise resource planning, product development, manufacturing, and other software and IT systems. This entails certain risks, including operational disruptions, such as our ability to continue developing and updating products while addressing safety and security, track orders and timely ship products, manage our supply chain, and aggregate financial and operational data. Failure to adequately protect and maintain the integrity of our products, IT systems and data in those systems, and those of our suppliers and customers may materially impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, we continuously upgrade and issue new software releases upon which customer facing manufacturing and treatment planning operations depend. Software applications and products containing software may contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or released. The discovery of a defect, error, or security vulnerability in our products, software applications or IT systems, incompatibility with customers’ computer operating systems and hardware configurations with a new release or upgraded version or the failure of our products or primary IT systems, which we are unable to cure in a timely fashion, may cause adverse consequences. These may include delays or loss of revenues, significant remediation costs, market acceptance delays, data damage, loss, or unavailability, unintended disclosure or other processing of financial, health or other information relating to individuals, product recalls, loss of market share or increased service costs, any of which could have a material effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of our operations and the operations of our customers or our business partners.
Products in our Systems and Services segment, such as our iTero intraoral scanners, are subject to software and hardware risks that, if improperly managed, could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.
The success of our Systems and Services segment depends on the quality and reliability of our products. We face software and hardware risks related to the manufacturing, design, quality and safety of our complex, global installed base of iTero intraoral scanners, which are continually updated to add, expand, or improve features with new hardware we manufacture or components that we source, to integrate new or existing software or other components manufactured by third parties, or to provide repair or replacement parts, any of which may contain errors or exhibit failures, especially when products are first introduced. We may be unable to ensure that third party components or changes to them will be completely compatible with our iTero intraoral scanners, which could result in failures of our iTero intraoral scanners to perform as anticipated. Additionally, the third-party software integrated into or interoperable with our iTero intraoral scanners will routinely reach end of life, and as a consequence, certain applications and models may be exposed to additional vulnerabilities, including security risks, errors, and malfunctions that may be irreparable or difficult to repair. We may not timely and adequately remediate or implement corrective measures for such failures, including due to reliance on third-party providers or suppliers. Consequently, any remediation may be time-consuming and difficult to achieve, which may materially impact our customers and business partners, damage our reputation, and result in lost business and revenue opportunities, and could be materially costly. If our products experience component aging, errors, or performance problems, or do not otherwise satisfy our stringent quality processes and controls we may choose to or be compelled to recall certain products, which may include, product withdrawals from the market, labeling changes, design changes, customer notifications, and notifications to global regulatory bodies.
A significant portion of our clear aligner production is dependent on digital scans from our globally dispersed and decentralized installed base of iTero and third-party intraoral scanners. Failures of all or any portion of our or third-party software or other components or systems to interoperate with iTero or third-party intraoral scanners, termination of interoperability with third-party intraoral scanners, malware or ransomware attacks, product or system vulnerabilities or defects, interference or disruptions for us, our customers, labs or other business partners in the use of our products or the transmission or processing of data needed for the use or ordering of our products, or system outages, regardless of cause, have harmed our operations previously and in the future could materially and adversely affect our ability to accept scans, manufacture clear aligners or restorative procedures or treatments and services, or otherwise service our customers. Any of these events could harm our sales, damage our reputation, adversely impact our strategic partners, or result in claims, demands, litigation, and liabilities, which could have a material effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of our operations and the operations of our customers or business partners.
We are highly dependent on third-party suppliers, some of whom are sole source suppliers, for certain key machines, components and materials, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if supply is restricted or ends or the price materially increases.
We are highly dependent on our supply chain, particularly manufacturers of specialized and customized scanning equipment, rapid prototyping machines, resin and other advanced materials, as well as the optics, electronic and other mechanical components of our iTero intraoral scanners. We maintain single and sole supply relationships for many of these machines and materials. By using single and sole suppliers in limited locations for materials and manufacturing, we are exposed to multiple supply chain vulnerabilities. We are reliant upon manufacturers that we contract with for quality and stability and any failures on their part may have an impact on our ability to supply our products.
Because of our dependence on our suppliers, changes in key relationships can materially disrupt our supply chain. For instance, we may be unable to quickly establish or qualify replacement suppliers, which could create production interruptions,

delays and inefficiencies. Finding substitute manufacturers may be expensive, time-consuming or impossible and could result in significant interruptions in the supply of one or more products, product retesting or additional product registration, causing us to lose revenues and damage customer relationships. Technology changes by our service providers, vendors and other third parties could disrupt access to required manufacturing capacity or require expensive, time-consuming development efforts to adapt and integrate new equipment or processes. In the event of technology changes, delivery delays, labor stoppages or shortages, or increases in price for these items, sales may decrease and our business and prospects may be harmed.
We contract with commercial intermediaries to distribute a portion of the importation, marketing and sales of our products and services, which exposes us to risks to our sales, operations and reputation, including the risk these intermediaries do not comply with applicable laws or our internal procedures.
In addition to our direct sales force, we have and expect to continue to use distributors, resellers or other commercial intermediaries to import, market, sell, service and support our products and services. Our distribution agreements are generally non-exclusive and terminable by either party with customary notice. If qualified and acceptable alternative commercial intermediaries cannot be quickly found and trained in the use, marketing, sales and support of our products and services, our revenues and ability to sell or service our products and services in key markets could be adversely affected. These commercial intermediaries may also choose to sell alternative or competing products or services. In addition, we may be held responsible for the actions of these commercial intermediaries, their employees and commercial intermediaries for compliance with laws and regulations, including fair competition, bribery and corruption, import and export compliance, safety, data privacy, false advertising or unfair and deceptive trade practices, and marketing and sales activities. The conduct of these commercial intermediaries may impact our reputation and brand and if they fail to satisfy customers, our reputation and brand loyalty could be harmed. An intermediary may also affect our ability to effectively market our products in certain foreign countries or regulatory jurisdictions if it holds the regulatory authorization in such countries or within such regions and causes, by action or inaction, the suspension of such marketing authorization or sanctions for non-compliance or prevents us from taking control of any such authorization. It may be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming for us to re-establish market access or regulatory compliance.
A disruption in the operations of a primary freight carrier, higher shipping costs or shipping delays could disrupt our supply chain and impact our operating and financial results.
We depend on commercial freight carriers, primarily United Parcel Service, Inc., to deliver our products. If the operations of commercial freight carriers are disrupted or we fail to mitigate any disruptions, we may be unable to timely deliver products to our customers who may choose alternative products, causing our net revenues and gross margin to decline, possibly materially. Moreover, when fuel costs increase, our freight costs generally do as well. In addition, we earn an increasingly larger portion of our total revenues from international sales, which carry higher shipping costs that negatively impact our gross margin and results of operations. If freight costs materially increase and we are unable to successfully pass all or significant portions of the increases along to our customers, or we cannot otherwise offset such increases, our gross margin and financial results could be materially affected.
Our success depends on our personnel. If we cannot attract, motivate, train or retain personnel, it will be difficult to achieve our strategic priorities, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are highly dependent on the talent and efforts of our personnel. We strive to retain our personnel by providing competitive compensation and benefits, development opportunities and training, flexible work options and an inclusive corporate culture. However, competition for highly skilled personnel, particularly technical and digital talent, is intense, and our competitors have and are likely to continue to recruit our personnel. Our compensation and benefit arrangements may not successfully attract new personnel or retain and motivate existing personnel. In addition, other internal and external factors can impact our ability to hire and retain talent, including insufficient advancement or career opportunities, in office or hybrid work policies, our past and any future restructuring efforts and restrictive immigration policies . The loss of any key personnel, particularly executive management, research and development, or sales personnel, could harm our business and prospects and impede the achievement of our research and development, operational or strategic objectives.
