Practices across every region have reopened and are seeing patients, and many of those practices are embracing digital treatment in new ways and more purposefully than ever before. In particular, Invisalign providers are using the virtual tools we expedited over the last few months to minimize in-office appointments and deliver doctor-directed, personalized treatment that meets the needs of the moment – trusted, safe, convenient, and reflecting digital adoption. We have received consistently positive reactions and feedback from doctors in support of our efforts over the last few months. While it is too early to know for sure how extensive and sustainable the digital transition will be, interest in digital solutions is building, even among doctors who were not early adopters or advocates prior to the pandemic. This positive feedback and momentum is not just around Invisalign treatment – it includes digital workflow around iTero scanners and general dentistry. Doctors are telling us that the iTero imaging system is central to their practice and to their practice workflows, and it is key to driving digital treatment.”Continued Hogan, “We’re also pleased to announce that during the quarter we reached another major milestone with our 1 millionth Invisalign patient in APAC, an adult patient from Tokyo, Japan. Ms. Ayuma Saito, an athlete in modern pentathlon and fencing, is being treated by Dr. Koji Yokoya, Head Director at Aoyama Gaien Orthodontics Dental Offices, who is a certified orthodontist of the Japanese Orthodontic Society, Doctor of Medical Dentistry.” Financial Summary

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we may provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures including, non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, operating margin, interest income and other income (expense), net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, effective tax rate, net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share, which exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our fundamental operating performance including discrete cash and non-cash charges or gains that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP measures will exclude the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash deferred tax assets and associated amortization related to intra-entity transfer of non-inventory assets, acquisition related costs, impairments and other (gains) charges, and litigation settlement gains, and, if applicable, any associated tax impacts.We use non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our recurring core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they will be provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business.There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, though, because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public disclosures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our GAAP financial measures to the comparable Non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”About Align Technology, Inc.
