ALGN--
The Q2 results were impacted by several factors. Revenue from Clear Aligners, the company's primary product, was down 3.3% year-over-year, primarily due to lower-than-expected volumes in Europe and North America. Conversely, Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM Services revenues saw a 13.9% sequential increase and a 5.6% year-over-year increase. The company's operating income was $163.0 million, resulting in an operating margin of 16.1%. Non-GAAP operating income was $215.9 million, resulting in a margin of 21.3% [1].
Align Technology also announced a restructuring plan to streamline operations and reallocate resources. The plan includes realigning certain business groups, optimizing the manufacturing footprint, and disposing of certain manufacturing capital assets. The company expects one-time charges of approximately $150 million to $170 million in the second half of 2025, primarily for the write-down of assets, accelerated depreciation expense, and restructuring charges. These actions are intended to achieve a GAAP operating margin of approximately 13.0%–14.0% and a non-GAAP operating margin slightly above 22.5% in FY 2025 [1].
Shares of Align Technology plunged 37% on the news, the company's sharpest drop in over eight years. The stock closed at $195.50 on July 30, 2025, down from $304.30 on July 22, 2025 [1].
