Note: Changes and percentages are based on actual values and may effect totals due to rounding

As of June 30, 2016, Align had $685.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities compared to $678.7 million as of December 31, 2015. On May 3, 2016, as part of our $300.0 million April 2014 stock repurchase program, we entered into an Accelerated Stock Repurchase agreement and funded the repurchase of $50.0 million of our common stock. On that date we received an initial delivery of approximately 0.5 million shares based on current market prices. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on our volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the agreement, less an agreed upon discount. Upon completion of this agreement, we will commence repurchasing an additional $50.0 million of our common stock on the open market. These two actions will complete the April 2014 stock repurchase program. During the quarter the Company also announced a new plan to repurchase up to an additional $300.0 million of the Company's stock, all of which remains available for repurchase as of June 30, 2016.

Additional Aligners at No Charge Effective July 18, 2015

Align implemented its new Additional Aligners policy on July 18, 2015 in which the Company no longer distinguishes between mid-course corrections and case refinements providing doctors the ability to order additional aligners to address either treatment need at no charge, subject to certain requirements. These changes were effective for all new Invisalign Full, Teen, and Assist treatments shipped worldwide after July 18, 2015, as well as any cases that were open as of this date. While this policy change was largely immaterial to the Company's cash flows, it did impact the timing at which the Company recognizes revenue. The Company estimates Q2'16 revenues and pre-tax income were lower by approximately $8.3 million due to this change.

Q3 2016 Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2016 (Q3'16), Align provides the following guidance:

  • Clear Aligner case shipments in the range of 174.2 thousand to 176.9 thousand, up approximately 18.1% to 19.9% over the same period a year ago.
  • Net revenues in the range of $267.2 million to $273.5 million.
  • Diluted EPS in the range of $0.49 to $0.52.
