Forward guidance
For Q4'24, Align expects worldwide revenues to be in the range of $995M to $1,015M. We expect Clear Aligner volume and ASP to be slightly up sequentially. We also expect Systems and Services revenue to be up in Q4'24 sequentially consistent with typical Q4 seasonality. We expect Q4’24 GAAP operating margin to be slightly lower than 14.0% primarily due to restructuring charges related to severance as we adjust headcount for the existing business environment. We anticipate Q4’24 non-GAAP operating margin to be slightly up sequentially. For fiscal 2024, we expect investments in capital expenditures to be above $100M.
