NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Align Technology, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company” or “Align”) on a consistent basis with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and, therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future period, and we make no representations related thereto.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and deferred revenues, useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, goodwill, income taxes, contingent liabilities, the fair values of financial instruments, stock-based compensation and the valuation of investments in privately held companies among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. These instruments have minimal credit risk exposures. Management regularly monitors their compositions and maturities. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts that exceed federally insured FDIC limits. Through March 31, 2025, the Company has not experienced any material credit losses on such deposits.
We purchase certain inventory from sole suppliers. Additionally, we rely on a limited number of hardware manufacturers. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill our supply requirements could materially and adversely impact our future operating results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(i) New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.**” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and other segment expenses. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this standard in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 14 *“*Segments and Geographical Information.”
(ii) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.**” The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose in tabular format, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative
threshold. The amendments in this ASU also require taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. There will be no impact to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations; however, the Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.**” The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses, including the amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. There will be no impact to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations; however, the Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

We had no short-term or long-term marketable securities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use the GAAP fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation techniques that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation techniques that are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation techniques that are unobservable for the assets or liabilities.
The following tables summarize our financial assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable Factoring
We enter into factoring transactions on a non-recourse basis with financial institutions to sell certain of our non-U.S. accounts receivable. We account for these transactions as sales of financial assets and include the cash proceeds as a part of our cash flows from operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Total accounts receivable sold under factoring arrangements was $6.4 million and $14.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Factoring fees on the sales of receivables were recorded in other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material.
Investments in Privately Held Companies
Our investments in privately held companies in which we cannot exercise significant influence and do not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control are accounted for as investments in equity securities. We have elected to account for all investments in equity securities in accordance with the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, we record the value of our investments in equity securities at cost, minus impairment, if any. Additionally, we adjust the carrying value of our investments in equity securities for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.
On April 24, 2023 and April 22, 2024, we entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with Heartland Dental Holding Corporation (“Heartland”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements we acquired less than a 5% equity interest in Heartland through the purchase of Class A Common Stock for $150 million in total. In the fourth quarter of 2024 we recorded a $6 million increase to the carrying value of our investment, which increased the total carrying value of our investment in Heartland to $156 million.
On December 19, 2024, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Smile Doctors Subscription Agreement”) with New SD Holding Company, L.P. (“SD Holding Company”). Pursuant to the Smile Doctors Subscription Agreement we acquired less than a 3% equity interest in SD Holding Company through the purchase of Class A Common Units for $30 million. SD Holding Company owns a controlling interest, through intermediary entities, in Smile Doctors, LLC.
We account for our investments in Heartland and SD Holding Company as investments in equity securities, utilizing the measurement alternative. Based on a review of the relevant facts and circumstances, primarily observable transactions for identical investments, we determined that no adjustments to the carrying values of our investments were necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Our investments in privately held companies in which we can exercise significant influence are accounted for as equity method investments. We have elected to account for our equity method investments under the fair value option.
The carrying value of our investments in equity securities and equity method investments are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other assets and any price adjustments or impairment, if any, are recorded in Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain assets and liabilities. These forward contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As a result of the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts, we recognized a net loss of $11.5 million and a net gain of $19.7 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Recognized gains and losses from the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts are recorded to Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was not material.
The following tables present the gross notional value of all our foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $979.3 million and $997.4 million of net revenues, respectively, of which $246.0 million and $236.8 million was included in the deferred revenues balance at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Our unfulfilled performance obligations, including deferred revenues and backlog, as of March 31, 2025 were $1,418.6 million. These performance obligations are expected to be fulfilled over a period up to five years.
Note 4**. Business Combination**
On January 2, 2024 (the “Cubicure Acquisition Date”), we completed the acquisition of privately-held Cubicure GmbH (“Cubicure”) (the “Cubicure Acquisition”). Cubicure is an Austrian company and specializes in direct 3D printing solutions for polymer additive manufacturing that develops, produces and distributes innovative materials, equipment and processes for 3D printing solutions. The Cubicure Acquisition is intended to support and scale our strategic innovation roadmap and strengthen the Align Digital Platform. In fiscal year 2021, we acquired a 9.04% equity interest in Cubicure. Subsequently, on the Cubicure Acquisition Date, we acquired the remaining equity of Cubicure. Prior to the acquisition, we also had technology license and joint development agreements with Cubicure.
The fair value of consideration transferred in the acquisition is shown in the table below (in thousands):
| Cash paid to Cubicure stockholders | $ | 80,142 | ||||||
| Fair value of pre-existing equity interest ownership | 7,968 | |||||||
| Settlement of pre-existing relationship - accounts payable | (2,316) | |||||||
| Total purchase consideration paid | $ | 85,794 |
The Cubicure Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) that was achieved in stages. As a result of the Cubicure Acquisition, we remeasured our pre-existing equity interest in Cubicure at fair value prior to the Cubicure Acquisition. Based on the fair value of this equity interest, derived from the purchase price, we estimated the fair value of our 9.04% pre-existing investment in Cubicure to be approximately $8.0 million. The remeasurement resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $4.1 million, which was reflected as a component of Other income (expense), net within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In 2021, we initiated Joint development (“JDA”) and Technology license agreements (“TLA”) to provide us with access to Cubicure’s technology. The settlement of the JDA and TLA were concluded to be at market terms on the Cubicure Acquisition Date; therefore, no gain or loss was recorded related to the settlement of these contracts. We also had accounts payable from the pre-existing arrangements with Cubicure of $2.3 million, which were effectively settled and reduced from the purchase consideration of the Cubicure Acquisition.
The allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):
| Working capital | $ | 1,039 | ||||||
| Property & equipment | 975 | |||||||
| Developed technology | 47,000 | |||||||
| Other non-current asset | 1,483 | |||||||
| Other liabilities | (12,279) | |||||||
| Goodwill | 47,576 | |||||||
| Total | $ | 85,794 |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets, and represents the value associated with future technology, future customer relationships and the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. None of this goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. We allocated all goodwill to our Clear Aligner reporting unit.
As part of the Cubicure Acquisition we acquired a developed technology intangible asset. The acquired developed technology had an estimated fair value of $47.0 million as of the Cubicure Acquisition Date and will be amortized over a useful life of thirteen years.
The fair value of developed technology was estimated under the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method and the fair value estimates for developed technology include significant assumptions in the prospective financial information which include, but are not limited to, the projected future cash flows associated with the technology, the asset's life cycle and a present value factor.
Acquisition related costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. Acquisition related costs were not material.
Our consolidated financial statements include the operating results of Cubicure from the Cubicure Acquisition Date. Separate post-acquisition operating results and pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the effect is not material to our consolidated financial results.

Note 6**. Credit Facility**
We have a credit facility, as amended in December 2022, that provides for a $300.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit, along with a $50.0 million letter of credit. Our credit facility has a maturity date of December 23, 2027 and bears interest, at our option, at either a rate based on the SOFR for the applicable interest period or a base rate, in each case plus a margin. The credit facility requires us to comply with specific financial conditions and performance requirements. As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and were in compliance with the conditions and performance requirements in all material respects.
Note 7. Legal Proceedings
Antitrust Class Actions
On June 5, 2020, a dental practice named Simon and Simon, PC doing business as City Smiles brought an antitrust action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of itself and a putative class of similarly situated practices seeking treble monetary damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief relating to our alleged market activities in alleged clear aligner and intraoral scanner markets. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint and added VIP Dental Spas as a plaintiff on August 14, 2020. On December 18, 2023, the court certified a class of persons or entities that purchased Invisalign directly from Align between January 1, 2019 and March 31, 2022. The court denied Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of purchasers of scanners. On February 21, 2024, the court granted Align’s motion for summary judgment on all claims brought by the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs have appealed the district court’s summary judgment ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument was held on April 10, 2025.
On May 3, 2021, an individual named Misty Snow brought an antitrust action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of herself and a putative class of similarly situated individuals seeking treble monetary damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief relating to our alleged market activities in alleged clear aligner and intraoral scanner markets based on Section 2 of the Sherman Act. Plaintiffs have filed several amended complaints adding new plaintiffs, various state law claims and allegations based on Section 1 of the Sherman Act. On November 29, 2023, the court certified a class of indirect purchasers of Invisalign between July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2023 and a class of indirect purchasers of Invisalign seeking injunctive relief. On February 21, 2024, the court granted Align’s motion for summary judgment on the claims related to Section 2 allegations. The court entered judgment for the Section 2 and related state law claims on March 22, 2024. Plaintiffs have appealed the district court’s summary judgment ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument was held on April 10, 2025.
We are currently unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits and therefore we cannot determine the likelihood of loss, if any, nor estimate a range of possible loss.
In June 2024, Align and the Section 1 plaintiffs reached a settlement in principle to resolve all remaining claims in the Section 1 lawsuit. In March, 2025, Align and plaintiffs agreed to a revised settlement to resolve all Section 1 claims for a $31.75 million cash payment. On April 24, 2025 Plaintiffs filed a motion requesting the court approve the revised settlement. A
hearing on the motion is scheduled for May 22, 2025. We are unable to predict the timeline or outcome of the motion to approve the settlement. We continue to believe that plaintiffs’ Section 1 claims are without merit and remain ready to vigorously defend ourselves against those claims.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Align accrued a total loss of $31.75 million, $27.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and an additional loss accrual of $4.25 million in the first quarter of 2025, for the settlement of the Section 1 claims described above.
Straumann Litigation
On April 11, 2024, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against ClearCorrect Operating, LLC, ClearCorrect Holdings., Inc. and Institut Straumann AG (“Defendants”). The complaint asserts claims of false advertising, unfair competition, civil conspiracy and infringement of Align patents related to aligner material, treatment planning, and intraoral scanner technologies. Among other things, the complaint seeks relief enjoining Defendants’ infringement of multiple Align multilayer material patents through Defendants’ manufacture, sale and offer for sale of aligners made with Zendura FLX/ClearQuartz materials. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint, which are pending. Defendants are also seeking to invalidate all of Align’s asserted patents at the district court and United States Patent and Trial Appeal Board.
On July 9, 2024, Defendants filed counterclaims against Align for alleged antitrust violations, false advertising, unfair competition and breach of contract. Among other things, the counterclaims seek to stop Align’s accused business practices and money damages. On September 13, 2024, we filed a motion to dismiss defendants’ counterclaims. On February 7, 2025, the magistrate judge recommended denial of the motion to dismiss. On February 21, 2025, we filed objections to the recommendation, which are pending before the district court judge. A trial is scheduled for February 16, 2026.
We believe Defendants’ counterclaims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.
In addition to the above, in the ordinary course of our operations, we are involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, patent infringement claims, government investigations, labor and employment claims, breach of contract claims, tax and other matters. Regardless of the outcome, these proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Although the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may change in the future as litigation and events related thereto unfold; we currently do not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 8**. Commitments and Contingencies**
Tax Matter
Beginning in the third quarter of 2023 and continuing through the first quarter of 2024, the Company received cumulative assessments of approximately $100 million from His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) for unpaid value added tax (“VAT”) related to certain clear aligner sales made during the period of October 2019 through May 2023. We were required to pay these assessments prior to contesting or litigating the matter in statutory appeal. The Company has historically asserted and continues to assert that doctor prescribed clear aligners sold by dentists for the orthodontic treatment of patient malocclusions are exempt from VAT, that the Company has reasonably relied upon statements and guidance by HMRC and that the Company’s interpretation of United Kingdom legislation is appropriate.
In October 2024, the Company and HMRC reached a settlement agreement regarding the unpaid VAT related to certain aligner sales made during the period of October 2019 through mid-October 2023. As part of the settlement, HMRC agreed to vacate the judicial review (before the Administrative Court) originally scheduled for October 9th and October 10th, 2024, refund to the Company all assessments paid for the period of October 2019 through May 2023 and withdraw any potential assessments for the period from June 2023 through mid-October 2023. HMRC has refunded to the Company all assessed amounts, approximately $100 million.
The Company has remaining exposure in the amount of approximately $6.0 million for periods up to December 2023. A statutory appeal (before the First-tier Tribunal - “Tax Tribunal”) was held on January 27th through January 30th, 2025. On April 24, 2025, the Tax Tribunal issued a ruling in Align’s favor indicating that clear aligners are “dental prostheses for the
purposes of VAT”, which is a key condition for the VAT exemption. HMRC has until June 19, 2025 to appeal the Tax Tribunal decision. HMRC may also attempt to challenge the applicability of VAT on a different basis.
It is not possible at this stage to accurately evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome from the Tax Tribunal statutory appeal. The Company has determined that a potential loss related to VAT accounted for in the periods up to December 2023 is not probable.
Indemnification Provisions
In the normal course of business to facilitate transactions in our services and products, we indemnify certain parties: customers, vendors, lessors and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, services to be provided by us and intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and our executive officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. Several of these agreements limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim.
It is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Additionally, we have a limited history of prior indemnification claims and the payments we have made under such agreements have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, to the extent that valid indemnification claims arise in the future, future payments by us could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period. As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably possible.
Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity
As of March 31, 2025, the Align Technology, Inc. 2005 Incentive Plan, as amended, has a total reserve of 32,168,895 shares, of which 1,877,934 shares are available for issuance.

As of March 31, 2025, we expect to recognize $293.0 million of total unamortized compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.
Market-Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (“MSUs”)
We grant MSUs to members of senior management. Each MSU represents the right to one share of our common stock. The actual number of MSUs which will be eligible to vest will be based on the performance of Align’s stock price relative to the performance of a stock market index over the vesting period. MSUs vest over a period of three years and the maximum number of shares eligible to vest in the future is 250% of the MSUs initially granted.
The following table summarizes the MSU performance activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

1 Includes MSUs vested during the period below 100% of the original grant as actual shares released is based on Align’s stock performance relative to a market index over the vesting period.
As of March 31, 2025, we expect to recognize $78.6 million of total unamortized compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to MSUs over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
Restricted Stock Units with Performance Conditions (“PSUs”)
Our PSUs typically include a service and performance condition. We recognize share-based compensation expense for PSUs if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
The following table summarizes the PSU performance activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Note 10. Common Stock Repurchase Programs
In January 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock (“January 2023 Repurchase Program”). The January 2023 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date.
The following tables summarize the total repurchases of our common stock pursuant to Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) agreements and open market common stock repurchases under the January 2023 Repurchase Program:

As of March 31, 2025 we had $96.0 million available for repurchase under the January 2023 Repurchase Program, which was used to repurchase shares through May 2, 2025. These subsequent repurchases completed the January 2023 Repurchase Program.
In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock (“April 2025 Repurchase Program”), none of which has been utilized.
Note 11. Accounting for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes was $47.2 million and $53.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 33.6% and 33.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily due to the recognition of additional tax expense resulting from U.S. taxes on foreign earnings, foreign income taxed at different rates, state income taxes and non-deductible expenses in the U.S.
We exercise significant judgment in regard to estimates of future market growth, forecasted earnings and projected taxable income in determining the provision for income taxes and for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future benefit from deferred tax assets. We continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets as we take into account new information. We may be required to adjust the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if we determine, based on available evidence at the time of the determination, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes to the valuation allowance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $147.4 million and $145.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, a material amount of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. The increase in our unrecognized tax benefits relates primarily to positions taken on income tax return calculations finalized during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 14**. Segments and Geographical Information**
Segment Information
We report segment information based on the management approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, for decision making and performance assessment as the basis for determining our reportable segments. We group our operations into two reportable segments; Clear Aligner segment and Imaging Systems and CAD/CAM services (“Systems and Services”) segment, which are based on our predominant product lines.
Our CODM uses gross profit and income from operations to assess each reportable segments performance, by reviewing each measure against internal forecasts and historical performance. Our CODM may also benchmark each segments performance against our competitors and external expectations.
Summarized financial information by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

1 Management has identified cost of net revenues as a significant expense for our Clear Aligner and Systems and Services reportable segments.
Other segment expenses typically include employee related costs, marketing and advertising costs and depreciation and amortization expense incurred by various functions including selling, marketing, general and administrative and research and development. Our CODM does not regularly receive these operating expenses at the reportable segment level.
Income from operations for each segment includes all geographic revenues, related cost of net revenues and operating expenses directly attributable to the reportable segment. Certain operating expenses are not directly attributable to a reportable segment and must be allocated. Each allocation is measured differently based on the nature of the cost being allocated. Certain other operating expense are not specifically allocated to segment income from operations and generally include various corporate expenses such as stock-based compensation and costs related to information technology (“IT”), facilities, human resources, accounting and finance, legal and regulatory, other separately managed general and administrative costs outside the reportable segments and restructuring costs.
