Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 (Q3'14) were $189.9 million, a 15.4% increase year-over-year from $164.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 (Q3'13). Clear aligner case shipments in Q3'14 were 119.6 thousand, an 11.9% increase year-over-year from 106.9 thousand for Q3'13.

"I am pleased to report solid third quarter results with year-over-year growth driven by higher Invisalign volume across all customer channels and geographies, especially from International doctors. Third quarter results also reflect continued growth in the number of teenagers starting orthodontic treatment with Invisalign during the summer season," said Thomas M. Prescott, Align president and CEO. "As a result of solid revenue growth, better than expected gross margin and management of operating expenses, EPS was $0.03 above the high-end range of our outlook."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
While there are no non-GAAP adjustments to the three months ended September 30, 2014, we may use from time to time the following non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our consolidated financial statements: non-GAAP net profit and non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude, as applicable, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, and any related income tax adjustments. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use these 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 "core operating performance." Management believes that "core operating performance" represents Align's performance in the ordinary, on-going and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from "core operating performance" certain expenditures and other items that may not be indicative of our operating performance including discrete cash and non-cash charges that are infrequent, or one-time in nature. 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 are provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to facilitate comparisons with prior and subsequent reporting periods. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and a more detailed explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and its uses are provided in the footnotes to the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Key Financial Metrics" included at the end of this release.

Notes:

There were no Non-GAAP adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

(1) Impairment of goodwill. These costs represent non-cash write-downs of our goodwill generally related to negative trends in market and economic conditions, termination of relationships with distributors, or the increase in competitive environment related to our Scanner and Services reporting unit. We remove the impact of these charges to our operating performance to assist in assessing our ability to generate cash from operations. We believe this may be useful information to users of our financial statements; therefore, we have excluded these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance, particularly in terms of liquidity.

(2) Impairment of long-lived assets. These costs represent non-cash write-downs of our long-lived assets generally related to the increase in competitive environment related to our Scanner and Services reporting unit. As a result of these conditions, we have assessed that our asset group within the reporting unit was not recoverable and, therefore, recorded an impairment charge. We remove the impact of these charges to our operating performance to assist in assessing our ability to generate cash from operations. We believe this may be useful information to users of our financial statements; therefore, we have excluded these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance, particularly in terms of liquidity.

(3) Income tax-related adjustments. Non-GAAP financial information for the quarter is adjusted for a tax rate equal to our annual estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income. This rate is based on our estimated annual GAAP income tax rate forecast, adjusted to account for discrete tax items and items excluded from GAAP income in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented above. Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income is determined annually and may be re-calculated during the year to take into account events or trends that we believe materially impact the estimated annual rate.
