Our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, or that we currently believe to be immaterial.material. including those described below. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price can be materially and adversely affected. The risks below are not the only ones we face. Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting our results of operations and financial condition, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Therefore, you should review this section carefully, as well as our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for important information regarding these and other risks that may affect us. Additionally, you should consider these risk factors in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reworded

Our business, financial condition and results of operations depend on globalGlobal 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 recessionsconditions have and could in the future materially affect our business, financial condition,condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Macroeconomic conditions impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, which can adversely affect demand for our products. Consumer spending habits are affected by, among other things, inflation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, consumer confidence, general economic weakness, actual or potential slowdowns or recessions, pandemics, wars and military actions, employment levels, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, interest rates, volatility in capital 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’dental offices, or reduce demand for dental services generally. Further,Consumer spending habits are affected by, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in consumer confidence and demand, inflation, general economic weakness, actual or potential slowdowns or recessions, employment levels, health insurance coverage, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, interest rates, cultural and social influences, market volatility and perceptions of current and future economic conditions. For instance, decreased demand for dental services canhas and may in the future cause dentistsdoctors and labs to revert to wires and brackets and postpone investments in capital equipment,equipment. such as intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM equipment and software. The declines in, or uncertainUncertain economic outlooks for, or declines in the economic outlooks of, the United States, Chinese, European and certain 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 higherHigher interest rates have and could in the future reduce consumers’ disposable income, which could cause a decrease in discretionary spending for our products.

Reworded

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 inflationinflation, hasas well as the cost of fuel, energy and may continue to increase domestic and international shipping costs, food and other essential or discretionary items, raw material prices and labor rates, has and may continue to rise, 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, resultingwhich could result 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.

Added

We are subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Reworded

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 ratecurrency fluctuations on certain assets and liabilities, these contracts may not eliminate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency.exposure. Currency exchange rate fluctuations have and may continue to materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Added

Geopolitical events, tariffs and trade policies, and military conflicts have and could in the future materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Removed

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be impacted by geopolitical events, tariffs, trade and international disputes, wars, military actions and terrorism, or major public health crises.

Reworded

Geopolitical events, tariffs, trade and international disputes, wars, military actions andactions, 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, distributors and other business partners.business. 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, trade sanctions,sanctions and countersanctions, customs inquiriesinvestigations or restrictions, boycotts, reduced consumer spending, government shut downs,shutdowns, 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, employee deaths or injuries to our employees,injuries, 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.

Added

Tariffs or proposed tariffs, customs duties, or fees, and any retaliatory tariffs, international trade disputes, or protectionist trade measures taken in response to such tariffs may increase the cost of our products and the components or the raw materials used to make them, reduce demand for our products and adversely impact our gross margin and results of operations, 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. For example, the U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, to determine the effects on the national security of imports of personal protective equipment (PPE), medical consumables, and medical equipment including devices. 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 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 shipped to other international locations. Tariffs have and could in the future 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 and to the extent we do, we may experience reduced demand for our products. The extent and duration of any tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business, financial condition and results of operations are uncertain.

Reworded

Tariffs or proposed tariffs, such as those on Chinese, Mexican, Canadian or other foreign goods, and any retaliatory trade measures in response may increase the cost of our products and the components and raw materials used to make them. Specifically, 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 impact operating margin, reduce demand for our products and adversely impact our gross margin. Foreign countries have and may alsocontinue to adopt or rescind other measures,measures such as controls on the import or export of goods, technology or data, including personal data, thatwhich could adversely impact our operations and supply chains or limit our ability to offer certain products andor services. TheseWe measures could require us tomay take various actions,actions in response to these measures, including changing suppliers, where we manufacture our products, or restructuring business relationships. ComplyingSuch with new or revised trade restrictionsactions may be expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to our logistics and operations, irreversible, and more costly for us and our customers. SuchTrade 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.

Reworded

Military conflictsconflicts, wars, and escalation of terrorist or gang activities 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 ongoingthe violenceconflict between Israel and military action, which may impact our employees and our iTero business and operations. Some employees and consultants 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.Hamas. Our supply chains and demand for our products could be impaired as a result of political instability, drug trafficking, the continuation or escalation of terrorist or gang activities (particularly with respect to our manufacturing operations in Mexico), 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.areas, and our ongoing contingency planning and business continuity measures to mitigate these risks may not be sufficient. 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,condition and results of operations.

OurNatural operations may be impacted by natural disasters, which may become more frequent or severe as a result of climate change, anddisasters may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as those of our customers and consumers, suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributorscommercial intermediaries and other business partners.

Reworded

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, urban fires and extreme weather conditions (including those caused by climate change) 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 andsuch as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, extreme temperatures, or flooding which could changecause thesupply supply,chain interruptions, increase demand orand negatively impact availability of sources of energy or resources material to manufacturing our products and operations.operations, or cause damage to our products and facilities. It could also affect the availability or cost of materials, goods, and services on which we and our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributorscommercial intermediaries and other business partners rely, which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

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.services.

Reworded

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 andreimbursement, price compared to competing products and traditional treatment methods.methods and competing products, and perceptions regarding single-use or non-recyclable plastics. Additionally, negative experiences with clear aligner products manufactured or distributed by competitors may adversely affect our reputation and demand for the Invisalign System if consumers or dental professionals attribute these negative experiences to clear aligner therapy generally, even if our products differ significantly in design, quality, and clinical effectiveness. 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.

Reworded

Our net revenues depend primarily on sales of the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners and declines in salesvolume or the average selling price (“ASP”) of these products may adversely affect net revenues, gross profit, operating profit and net income.

Reworded

Our net revenues are primarily dependent on sales of the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners. Of the two, we expect the Invisalign System to continue to represent the majority of our net revenues,revenues makingand sales of itremain critical to our success.

Reworded

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 soldsold, (particularly the timingpromotions and quantitydiscounts, of orders for additional clear aligners for certain Invisalign products)inflation 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:

Removed

Competition in the markets for our products and services is increasing and we expect aggressive competition from existing competitors, other 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.

Reworded

The dental industry is experiencing immense and rapid digital transformation. While solutions such as the Invisalign System, iTero intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM softwaretransformation and 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. We may be unable to compete with theseexisting competitors and emerging companies that introduce new technologies, products or theyservices, and customers who alone or with others create orthodontic appliances and solutions or other products or services that compete with us. While our product portfolio facilitates this transition, our competitors may render our technology or products obsolete or economically unattractive, particularly as competitors incorporate 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.

Added

We also face competition from traditional products and services, such as wires and brackets, which doctors have historically been able to purchase at a lower price point. We have and will likely continue to experience price-focused competition as we continue to expand into new markets, which could contribute to the commoditization of our products or services if we are unable to otherwise differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors.

Reworded

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 DSOs. Our competitors also include DTC companies that provide clear aligners using a business model requiring little orto no in-office care from trained and licensed doctors, and doctors and DSOs who manufacture custom aligners inor theirprocure officesproducts usingfrom 3Dthird-party printingwhite-label technology.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 andproducts, take advantage of competitive promotions and sale opportunities.opportunities, or engage in “bait and switch,” “margin steering” or similar practices that take advantage of the significant brand recognition of Invisalign to offer alternative 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 orand existing intraoral scanners,scanners and traditional impression methods, as well as traditional bite wing 2D dental x-raysX-rays and dental imaging systems that leverage NIRI technology and AI for detecting interproximal caries. We have and may continue to experience competition with respect to our scanners byand software solutions from competitors who introduce products at lower prices or with functionalityenhanced features or functionalities that better meets customer demand.demand, including expansion of their portfolios in the digital ecosystem.

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 or service until patients complete their treatments. In addition, we periodically introduce new business and sales initiatives to meet customers’ needs and demands, which may not be successful and may involve short-term execution challenges. Should these initiatives fail, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.

Added

If we fail to accurately predict product demand, our manufacturing capacity, staffing, supplies, components, or materials, or those of one or more of our suppliers may be inadequate. 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.

Removed

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.

Reworded

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.

Added

Our results of operations may be adversely affected if doctors at DSOs, orthodontic service organizations (“OSOs”) or other large group practices reduce, delay, or do not increase their purchasing of our products and services in ways that reduce adoption of our products and services.

Added

DSOs, OSOs and other large group practices have become an increasingly important channel for adoption of our products and services. If doctors at DSOs, OSOs or other large group practices reduce, delay, or do not expand their purchasing of our products and services, or otherwise change priorities, protocols, or workflows in ways that reduce utilization of our products, demand for our products and services may not increase or may decrease, which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, on behalf of the doctors in their affiliated practices, DSOs and other large group practices may have greater leverage to negotiate pricing, volume‑based discounts, rebates, extended payment terms, or other commercial concessions, which could adversely affect our ASPs, gross margins and profitability.

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.

Our IT systems, policies and contracts and the policies of our third-party vendors, and their IT systems safeguard employee, applicant and customer personal, health and financial, and our own proprietary information and data essential to our operations. Our cybersecurity controls also depend on our customers, many of whom are individual or small healthcare providers with limited IT experience and inadequate or untested security protocols, to successfully manage data privacy and security requirements. We and our service providers, third-party vendors and other third parties could be targeted by or subject to physical break-ins, computer viruses and other malicious code, unauthorized or fraudulent access, programming errors or other technical malfunctions, hacking attacks, phishing, vishing, deepfakes, and other social engineering attacks, malware, ransomware, employee noncompliance, error or malfeasance, cybersecurity attacks, malicious code, and other breaches of, or incidents impacting, IT systems or similar malicious or otherwise disruptive actions, including by organized groups and nation-state actors, which may disrupt or limit the availability of, or result in damage to, our IT systems and result in loss or unavailability of, damage to, or the unauthorized acquisition, use, disclosure, or other processing of confidential information. We have experienced, and may again experience in the future, cybersecurity incidents, data incidents, and unauthorized internal employee exfiltration of information.

Our Strategic Growth Drivers

Added

We strive to help our doctor customers move their practices forward by connecting them with new patients, providing digital solutions to help increase practice efficiency and helping them deliver the best possible treatment outcomes and experiences to millions of people around the world. We strive to achieve this through our continued focus on, and execution of, our strategic growth drivers:

Added

International Expansion: Continually increasing the presence of our operations and commercial organization globally, expanding our products and service offerings and training and educating more doctors in more markets.

Added

General Practitioner dentists (“GP”) treatment: Making teeth straightening more relevant for GPs by enabling them to effectively scan, identify, treat, and monitor malocclusion.

Added

Patient Demand: Making the Invisalign® system the most recognized brand name in orthodontics by creating awareness and preference among consumers and motivating potential patients to start treatment.

Added

Orthodontist Utilization: Continually innovating in digital orthodontics to increase product applicability and predictability to address a range of malocclusion, especially for teens and growing patients, enabling doctors to confidently diagnose and treat more patients.

Added

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.

Added

•Continuing penetration and adoption of Invisalign® clear aligners, iTero Element™ and Lumina™ intraoral scanners and exocad™ CAD/CAM solutions in international markets by investing in manufacturing operations, research and development, clinical treatment planning, sales and marketing and building our quality and regulatory capabilities in existing and emerging markets globally. Our fabrication facilities in our three key regions and treatment planning operations in targeted regional geographies brings our operations closer to our customers and enables us to serve them more quickly and respond to their needs more effectively. We have also diversified our research and development activities, which has created a longer term, more stable environment for consistent hiring, retention and innovation in a variety of high technology locations.

Added

•Building confidence within the GP and orthodontic communities through training and education efforts to increase their adoption and utilization of digital dental practice transformation and clear aligner treatment. We continue to expand our clear aligner customer base by educating new doctors on the benefits of digital dentistry through the Invisalign System. We furthermore demonstrate to GPs and orthodontists how the iTero portfolio of intraoral scanners, products like Invisalign Go™ treatment, and exocad™ CAD/CAM restorative services and workflows can increase revenues and profitability for their dental practices by enhancing patient experiences and creating operational practice efficiencies. DSOs represent a large and growing opportunity to help drive adoption of digital technology across the dental industry. We have well established relationships with many DSOs globally that recognize the benefits of digital workflows enabled by our portfolio of products and services that make up the AlignTM Digital Platform, including increased practice efficiency and profitability, as well as delivering a better patient experience from shorter cycle times to customer proximity. We have and may continue to financially invest in or explore collaborations with key ecosystem partners, including DSOs, whose missions and visions align with our vision, strategy, business model and goals.

Added

•Investing in research and development that allows us to innovate, develop and bring to market products and solutions that deliver the ever-increasing clinical precision and predictability that doctors expect with the speed and convenience their patients require. For instance, in 2025, we announced several new enhancements to the AlignTM Digital Platform, including (i) restorative capabilities to our iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner (without iTero NIRI technology) and the new iTero Lumina™ Pro dental imaging system (with iTero NIRI technology), and (ii) iTero Digital Solutions, a comprehensive ecosystem that includes intraoral scanners and integrated software tools, including enhancements to the Align™ Oral Health Suite, Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro with ClinCheck® Smile Video, and the iTero™ Design Suite. Additionally, we continue to invest in AI infrastructure, specialized talent, and strategic partnerships to further enhance the capabilities of the Align™ Digital Platform and differentiate our product portfolio from traditional and emerging competitors. We believe our commitment to AI can unlock new and adjacent market opportunities, and sharpen our operational focus and capital efficiency by driving automation, scalability, and productivity across our operations, while enabling doctors and their patients to benefit from more efficient and predictable treatment experiences. We maintain governance frameworks, internal controls, and oversight mechanisms designed to promote responsible AI development and deployment, mitigate associated risks, and ensure alignment with applicable laws.

Added

•Creating demand and enabling patient conversion with targeted investments in advertising and public relations through television, film, print, social media and alliances with professional sports teams, athletes, social media influencers and other strategic partners, to encourage treatment by Invisalign trained doctors. We believe that well-designed, targeted sales and marketing promotions that build on our strong brand awareness allow us to differentiate our products and solutions from traditional and emerging competitors. To increase awareness and educate young adults, parents and teens about the benefits of Invisalign treatment, in 2025, we continued to invest in and create campaigns across markets in media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, SnapChat, WeChat, and Douyin. We expect to make further investments to stimulate additional demand for Invisalign System treatment and drive more consumers to dental professionals for those treatments.

Added

•Pursuing new product lines that complement our doctor-prescribed principal products currently available in certain e-commerce and retail channels in the United States. Similarly, in 2025, we continued our focus on our doctor subscription plan and grew our underpenetrated share of the retainer business through strategic marketing campaigns focused on driving adoption and increasing market share.

Added

•Increasing global orthodontic utilization rates as doctors’ clinical confidence in the efficacy and predictability of the Invisalign System increases with advancements in products and technology and as patients and doctors demand treatments that emphasize convenience and safety through fewer visits and less invasive and quicker treatments. In addition, the teenage and younger market makes up approximately 70% of the estimated 22 million total annual global orthodontic case starts. We offer early interceptive treatment to this patient population with products designed to acclimate them to wearing removable devices. Included in these treatments are the Invisalign First Phase 1 Package, designed specifically for younger patients generally between the ages of six and ten. Also included are Invisalign Palatal Expanders, a series of removable devices that treat the most common skeletal and dental malocclusions in growing children, and the Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks, which addresses Class II skeletal and dental correction for growing patients in the late mixed or early permanent dentition stages (ages 10-16). We furthermore continue to emphasize the benefits of the Invisalign System for teenage and younger patient treatments through education, training and sales and marketing programs. In 2025, a record number of teens and kids started treatment with Invisalign clear aligners. We expect utilization rates to continue to rise. However, our utilization rates will fluctuate from period to period due to a variety of factors, which may include seasonal trends in our business, consumer demand due to macroeconomic factors, and adoption rates for new products and features.

Removed

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 happening around the world, 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.

Macroeconomic ChallengesChallenges, Trade Impediments and MilitaryGeopolitical Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle EastTensions

Added

Our revenues may fluctuate as a result of events and circumstances impacting customer confidence, consumer sentiment, discretionary spending and ultimately demand for dental services and our products. These events and circumstances include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, tariffs or proposed tariffs, customs duties or fees, and any retaliatory tariffs or protectionist trade measures taken in response to such tariffs or as a result of trade and international disputes, inflation, elevated interest rates, actual or potential slowdowns or recessions, wages, employment levels and health insurance coverage, debt obligations, discretionary income, supply chain challenges, market volatility, and other factors. For more information on events and circumstances that could impact our revenues, refer to Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Macroeconomic and External Risks.”

Added

Many of these factors may contribute to, among other things, higher raw material prices, increased transportation and labor costs, and interruptions in supply and distribution operations, each of which can 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. For example, we believe that in the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, sales of our products were adversely impacted compared to the same period in prior years by certain macroeconomic conditions, including global tariff volatility, inflation, and higher interest rates, which we believe may continue to impede dental patient demand. For example, patient traffic growth has been 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 and recommendations that doctors make, especially doctors who offer both clear aligners and wires and brackets in their practices and have the additional time to treat patients with wires and brackets when orthodontic starts are slowing or diminishing. We believe this has resulted in an increase in orthodontic starts using wires and brackets in lieu of clear aligners that was more pronounced in the second quarter of 2025. However, we believe these trends are continuing and will impede future sales for so long as consumer economic uncertainty persists, particularly to the extent it impairs discretionary spending. We also anticipate 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.

Removed

Our revenues are susceptible to fluctuations resulting from events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, inflation, higher interest rates, actual and threatened wars and military actions, threats or actual imposition of tariffs, customs duties and fees by nations and retaliatory actions, threats of or actual slowdowns or recessions, supply chain challenges, market volatility, employment levels, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income and other factors, each of which impacts customer confidence, consumer sentiment and demand. Many of these same factors also impact our costs and those of our suppliers through higher raw material prices, transportation costs, labor costs, supply and distribution operations. During 2024, we believe sales of our products were adversely impacted by macroeconomic conditions that negatively affected disposable income and consumer demand. We believe this trend will continue in 2025. We also expect the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine to continue to create market uncertainties and dampen consumer sentiment and demand, particularly in Europe.

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 2024,2025, the U.S. dollar remained strongweakened against major currencies, which negativelypositively impacted our financial condition and results of operations for the year. Foreign exchange volatility and the subsequent strengthening or weakening of the U.SU.S. dollar against other currencies remains uncertain and unpredictable.

2025 Restructuring

Added

Beginning in the third quarter of 2025 and continuing into the fourth quarter, we initiated a series of restructuring actions to streamline our operations, realign parts of our organization, and optimize our global manufacturing footprint in response to the current macro environment. These actions included realigning certain business groups and reducing our global workforce, disposing of certain manufacturing assets prior to the end of their useful lives, and committing to the sale of a manufacturing facility and related assets.

Added

As part of these restructuring efforts, we incurred $41 million of expenses through December 31, 2025, primarily related to involuntary termination benefits, including employee severance and other post‑employment costs. We also recorded $76.9 million of accelerated depreciation associated with certain manufacturing assets we planned to dispose of other than by sale.

Added

In addition, we undertook actions to optimize our manufacturing footprint, including the planned sale of our manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico, consisting of land, building, and building improvements (the “disposal group”). During the third quarter of 2025, we determined that the disposal group met the criteria for classification as held for sale under ASC 360‑10. Accordingly, the disposal group was measured at its fair value less estimated costs to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $23.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had $28.0 million of assets classified as held for sale.

Added

We may incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events related to or resulting from these restructuring actions. Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Note 17 “Restructuring and Other Charges,” and Note 18 “Assets Held for Sale,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Reworded

As the markets for clear aligners and digital processes and workflows used to transform the practice of dentistry continue to mature, we continue to anticipate customer and patient expectations and demands will continue to evolve. We expect to meet customer 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 pricesprices, withwhich could result in uncertain implicationsimpacts on our financial statements and business operations. For example, we have and may continue to experience a shift from certain products with higher ASPs to those with lower ASPs.

Reworded

We strive to manage the challenges frompresented by the foregoing 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 throughby implementing strategic product innovations, introductions and pricing actions, implementing cost saving measures and evaluating hiring needs.

As an example, there was significant adoption of the Invisalign Comprehensive 3in3 product after it was introduced in 2023 that continued in 2024. The 3in3 configuration offers doctors Invisalign Comprehensive treatment with a three-year treatment expiration date and three additional clear aligners included prior to the treatment expiration date. The 3in3 product also allows us to recognize more revenue up front while doing so at a lower price as compared to our traditional Invisalign comprehensive product that has a five-year treatment expiration date with unlimited additional clear aligners prior to the treatment end date.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in ASP, driven by product mix shift to lower priced products and higher discounts, resulting in a decrease of net revenue of $127 million.

International net revenues increased by $51 million in 2024 as compared to 2023 due to a 7.0% increase in volume, resulting in increased net revenues of $101 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 3.3% in ASP which decreased net revenues by $50 million. Lower ASP was due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates that decreased net revenues by $21 million and a price reduction for sales in the United Kingdom (“UK”) to offset VAT we began charging in 2024, which decreased net revenues by $32 million, a mix shift to lower priced products and countries which reduced net revenues by $60 million and higher promotional discounts which reduced net revenues by $114 million. The decreases in ASP were partially offset by lower net deferrals and price changes which increased net revenues by $99 million and $72 million, respectively.

Macroeconomic conditions impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, which can 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 dental offices, or reduce demand for dental services generally. Consumer spending habits are affected by, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in consumer confidence and demand, inflation, elevated gasoline and other energy costs, general economic weakness, actual or potential slowdowns or recessions, employment levels, health insurance coverage, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, interest rates, cultural and social influences, market volatility and perceptions of current and future economic conditions. For instance, decreased demand for dental services has and may in the future cause doctors and labs to revert to wires and brackets and postpone investments in capital equipment. Uncertain economic outlooks for, or declines in the economic outlooks of, the United States, Chinese, European and other economies have and could in the future materially adversely affect consumer demand and dental practice spending. Higher interest rates have and could in the future reduce consumers’ disposable income, which could cause a decrease in discretionary spending for our products.

Our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, may not be successfully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information or any other information we maintain or otherwise process. Further, the frequency and sophistication of third-party cybersecurity attacks are increasing, particularly with the advancement of AI technologies. For example, threat actors are increasingly using AI technologies, including generative and agentic AI and frontier models, to identify previously unknown vulnerabilities, automate complex, multi-stage attacks and create more convincing social engineering campaigns, including fraud that relies on “deepfake” impersonation, which has increased and may continue to increase the frequency, speed, scale and sophistication of cyber threats. These developments may compress the time available for us and our vendors to detect, patch and remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited and may require more frequent emergency remediation efforts, which could increase our costs and heighten the risk of operational disruption.

Further, the frequency and sophistication of third-party cybersecurity attacks are increasing, particularly with the advancement of AI technologies. Significant service disruptions, breaches, incidents, interruptions or other disruptive events impacting our infrastructure and IT systems, or other cybersecurity incidents, or any belief or reporting that any of the foregoing has occurred, could expose us to regulatory investigations, private claims, demands, litigation or other proceedings, impair our reputation and competitive position, distract management and require significant time and resources to address. In addition, patient care could suffer, and we could be liable if our products, services or IT systems fail to timely deliver accurate and complete information.

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.well, including through carrier fuel surcharges applied in future periods. 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.

Seamless leadership transitions for key positions are critical to sustaining our culture and organizational success. If our succession planning is ineffective, it could adversely impact our business. Organizational changes,changes suchcould as our past and any future restructuring efforts, such as the restructuring plans we have implemented in each of the past three fiscal years, and most recently in the third quarter of 2025, mayalso increase attrition and adversely impact our ability to successfully attract, motivate, and retain key personnel. InFor example, in September, 2025, we required most of our employees to return to working five days per week in the office for most locations, which could impact our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, particularly if companies that we compete with for talent have adopted work policies and arrangements that our employees may consider to be more appealing. We have experienced and may continue to experience difficulties attracting and retaining personnel that meet the qualifications, experience, compliance mindset and values we expect and share our core values of Agility, Customer and Accountability, which could impact our ability to achieve our strategic objectives and maintain compliance with obligations under our internal controls and other requirements. We provide significant training and experience to our personnel that, for certain roles, can make key personnel, such as our commercial and sales personnel, highly desirable to competitors and lead to increased attrition.

We currently are and may in the future be subject to antitrust, competition or unfair competition-related investigations, enforcement actions or claims by governmental agencies, competitors, consumers, customers and others which, even if unfounded, could cause us to incur substantial costs (including fines), enter into settlements or consent decrees, be subject to judgments, receive negative publicity, forego certain mergers, acquisitions, business combinations, investments or other transactions, divert management time and attention, or change our business in ways that could have a material adverse effect on our business practices, revenues and results of operations, such as limiting our ability to provide certain benefits to our customers and consumers, reducing the attractiveness of our products, services and the net revenue derived from them. Governments and regulators are actively developing new competition laws, regulations and actions aimed at the technology sector, AI and digital platforms, and global activities and expansion, including in large markets such as the United States, the EU, and China. For more information, see Note 6 “Legal Proceedings” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On June 29, 2026, the European Commission announced a formal investigation to assess whether our practices relating to our Invisalign clear aligners and iTero intraoral scanners in the European Economic Area infringe EU competition rules prohibiting the abuse of a dominant market position. We cannot predict the duration or outcome of the investigation, and an adverse outcome could subject us to substantial fines, require us to modify our business practices or accept binding commitments, and expose us to follow-on private litigation, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information, see Note 7 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Furthermore, we frequently must obtain regulatory clearance or approval before we can sell a new medical device or market a new use of, or claim for, an existing product. For instance, in the United States, FDA regulations are wide-ranging and govern, among other things, product design, product materials, development, manufacturing and testing, product labeling and product storage. It takes significant time, effort, and expense to obtain and maintain clearances and approvals of products and services, and there is no guarantee we will timely succeed, if at all, in the countries in which we do business. In other countries, the requirements, time, effort and expense to obtain and maintain clearances may differ materially. Moreover, these laws may change, resulting in additional time, expense or loss of market access. If the requirements to market our products or services are delayed, we may be unable to offer them in markets we deem important. Additionally, failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement actions with sanctions, including fines, civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Delays or failures to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals or clearances, or to comply with regulatory requirements, may materially adversely affect our domestic or international operations, and adversely impact our business. We and certain of our third-party vendors must also comply with and adhere to facility registration and product listing requirements forin the FDA’s Quality Management System regulations.Regulation (“QMSR”), which became effective on February 2, 2026 and incorporates by reference the international standard ISO 13485:2016, and analogous quality‑system requirements in other jurisdictions. The FDA enforces itsthe Quality System regulationsQMSR through periodicinspections, unannouncedwhich inspections.may be unannounced. Failure to satisfactorily correct an adverse inspection finding or comply with applicable regulations can result in enforcement actions, or require us to find alternative manufacturers, which could be a long and costly process and may cause reputational harm. Enforcement actions by regulators could have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are or may become, or alleged to be or become, subject to stringent federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations, such as HIPAA, which regulates the security and privacy of patient healthcare information applicable to healthcare providers and their business associates, and the California Consumer ProtectionPrivacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, which regulates privacy, data security, content regulation and consumer protection. Numerous other states have enacted, or plan to enact, laws relating to privacy, data protection, data governance and cybersecurity, with such enacted laws either in operation or slated to go into operation over the next several years. Outside of the United States, relevant legal requirements continue to evolve. For example, the collection and use of health data and other personal information is governed in the EU by the EU GDPR, which imposes significant obligations upon companies and rights for individuals, with substantial penalties for noncompliance. Numerous other jurisdictions maintain similar legislation or other laws or regulations addressing privacy, data protection, data governance, or cybersecurity. Several jurisdictions, including the EU, United States, China, Australia, and Japan, have enacted data export restrictions and international transfer laws and regulations that established legal requirements for cross-border transfers of all or certain personal information and certain jurisdictions have also established legal requirements for data localization, which may require us to maintain separate servers located in those countries so that all or certain personal information areis maintained locally.

Our operations are subject to rapidly changing and varied expectations and requirements regarding Sustainability issues from a wide range of stakeholders, such as governmental and self-regulatory organizations, including U.S. federal and state governments, and the EU, as well as investor advocacy groups, institutional investors, investment funds, proxy advisory services, stockholders and customers. We are also requiredsubject to comply with disclosure obligations under the SEC’s long-standing climate change disclosure guidance and other SEC regulations,disclosure requirements applicable to climate-related matters, as well as the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”). If we fail to adopt Sustainability standards or practices as quickly as stakeholders desire, comply with or timely report on our Sustainability efforts or practices accurately, or satisfy the disclosure and other expectations of stakeholders, our brand, reputation, employee retention, business, financial performance, growth, and stock price may be adversely impacted.

Our compliance obligations span all aspects of our business and operations, including product design and development, materials sourcing and other procurement activities, product packaging, product safety, energy and natural resources usage, facilities design and utilization, recycling and collection, transportation, disposal activities, workers’workers welfare and human rights. U.S. and foreign regulators have or are considering enacting new or additional disclosure requirements or limits on the emissions of greenhouse gases from power generated by fossil fuels. Additionally, customers and consumers may demand our products, packaging and operations be more sustainable, which could affect how we manufacture and package our products, increase our costs and those of our suppliers, and result in manufacturing, transportation and supply chain disruptions if clean energy sources are unavailable in adequate amounts when required. Moreover, clean energy sources, coupled with reduced investments in traditional energy production and infrastructure, may not provide the predictable and reliable energy we, our suppliers and other business partners require.

We may be required to re-design our products or identify new suppliers to maintain compliance with these laws. Further, these laws and regulations may decrease the number of suppliers capable of supplying our needs, thereby negatively affecting our ability to manufacture products in sufficient quantities at competitive prices, leading customers to potentially choose competitive goods and services.

AI and machine learning technologies (including generative and agentic AI) in our products, services and IT systems may result in legal and regulatory risks, reputational harm or have other adverse consequences to our business.

Added

AI is subject to a dynamic and rapidly evolving legal and regulatory environment, which, without appropriate review, governance and risk management, could expose us to unforeseen legal or regulatory scrutiny and liabilities. For example, the U.S. AI regulatory framework remains in development and has been introduced at the federal level through executive orders and legislation has been introduced and enacted at the state level. In Europe, the EU AI Act entered into force on August 1, 2024, and its obligations apply in phases: certain prohibitions have applied since February 2025, obligations for general-purpose AI models since August 2025, and certain transparency obligations from August 2026. In 2026, the EU adopted targeted amendments to the EU AI Act that, among other things, defer the application of obligations for high-risk AI systems until December 2027 (for stand-alone high-risk systems) and August 2028 (for AI systems embedded in regulated products, such as medical devices), while introducing additional prohibited practices. The scope, timing and interpretation of these requirements remain subject to change.

Reworded

AI is subject to a dynamic and rapidly evolving legal and regulatory environment, which, without appropriate review, governance and risk management, could expose us to unforeseen legal or regulatory scrutiny and liabilities. For example, the U.S. AI regulatory framework remains in development and has been introduced at the federal level through executive orders and legislation has been introduced and enacted at the state level. In Europe, the EU AI Act entered into force on August 1, 2024 which will become fully effective on August 2, 2026, with some provisions effective in February 2025. Other jurisdictions are considering similar legislation. Although we do not engage in developing or providing AI systems for which their placement on the market, putting into service, or use would qualify as “prohibited AI practices,” restrictions and obligations under this regulation, to the extent applicable to us, could have a negative impact on our business, global systems, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, other jurisdictions have proposed, and in certain cases enacted, laws and regulations addressing aspects of the use and development of AI. The evolving AI regulatory environment may, among other impacts, result in inconsistencies among AI regulations and frameworks across jurisdictions; onerous compliance, governance, and research and development obligations that may require us to rework or reevaluate products or services to be compliant or result in the development of products that are unacceptable under new or revised regulatory frameworks; increased risk of exposure to investigations, proceedings and claims related to our AI models; increased liability related to the use of AI by our customers, consumers or suppliers beyond our control; delays in the deployment of new products and services; competitive and reputational harm; and increased cybersecurity risks.

Reworded

Additionally, as we offer more third-party AI models in our solutions, we face risks inherent in how third-party AI models used in our solutions have been developed and deployed, including situations in which the third party may lack a proper license or consent for the training data used for their model. The use and availability of third-party AI models in our solutions could result in scrutiny and legal liability, including intellectual property infringement claims. In addition, access to third-party AI models may be suspended, restricted or offered on less favorable terms by providers or governments, including due to safety concerns, regulatory mandates or changing commercial priorities, which could disrupt, delay or increase the cost of AI-enabled features in our products and services. Such claims or scrutiny could cause reputational harm and loss of customers, and adversely impact our business and financial results. In addition, new competition regulations on AI development and deployment could impose new requirements on our markets that could impact our business and financial results.

New Manufacturing Facility: During the second quarter, we announced plans to expand our global manufacturing network with a new facility in Hyderabad, India, which is expected to commence operations in 2027 and will represent our first manufacturing facility in India. We expect to invest approximately $200 million over the next several years in connection with the project, including both capital expenditures and operating costs. The planned expansion is intended to support growth in high-demand markets, enhance supply chain resiliency, increase manufacturing capacity, improve operational efficiency, and further diversify our global manufacturing footprint.

UK VAT Update: On July 7, 2026, the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) of the United Kingdom issued a decision reversing the April 24, 2025 decision of the First-tier Tribunal and holding that clear aligners are not “dental prostheses” and are therefore subject to value added tax in the United Kingdom at the standard rate. We have recorded an estimated liability of approximately $37.5 million as of June 30, 2026, which reflects management’s best estimate of the obligation as of the reporting date. We intend to exhaust all available appeals and vigorously defend our position, but the ultimate resolution of this matter remains subject to significant uncertainty. For more information, see Note 7 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Many of these factors may contribute to, among other things, higher raw material prices, increased transportation and labor costs, and interruptions in supply and distribution operations, each of which can 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. For example, we believe that in the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, sales of our products were adversely impacted compared to the same period in prior years by certain macroeconomic conditions, including global tariff volatility, inflation, and higher interest rates, which we believe may continue to impede dental patient demand. For example, patientPatient traffic growth has been 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 and recommendations that doctors make, especially doctors who offer both clear aligners and wires and brackets in their practices and have the additional time to treat patients with wires and brackets when orthodontic starts are slowing or diminishing. We believe this has resulted in an increase in orthodontic starts using wires and brackets in lieu of clear aligners that was more pronounced in the second quarter of 2025. However, weWe believe these trends are continuing and will impede future sales for so long as consumer economic uncertainty persists, particularly to the extent it impairs discretionary spending. WeAdditionally, we believe that the ongoing military conflicts in the firstMiddle quarterEast, of 2026,including the outbreakhostilities ofinvolving militaryIsrael, conflictIran, betweenand the United States that began or escalated in 2025 and Iran on February 28, 2026, together with elevated gasoline and energy costs and related market volatility, contributedhave and may continue to contribute to declines in widely reported measures of consumer confidence, and we anticipate these conditions will continue to add to market uncertainties and dampen consumer sentiment and demand.

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 firstsecond quarter of 2026, theforeign U.S.currency dollarmovements remained weakened against major currencies, which positivelyfavorably impacted our financialrevenues conditioncompared and results of operations forto the quarter.prior-year period. Foreign exchange volatility and the subsequent strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies remains uncertain and unpredictable.

In the third quarter of 2025, we initiated a plan to realign certain business groups and reduce our global workforce as part of our continued effort to right size our labor force in response to the current macroeconomic environment. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we incurred a total of approximately $42$40.2 million in restructuring charges under this plan, of which $6.3$2.5 million remained unpaid. These charges were primarily related to involuntary termination benefits, including employee severance and other post-employment benefits in connection with the 2025 restructuring plan, which washas substantiallybeen completedcompleted. We do not expect to incur additional restructuring expenses in connection with the fourth2025 quarterrestructuring of 2025.plan.
