("Align") (NASDAQ:ALGN), a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign^® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced that it is planning to repurchase $200.0 million of Align's common stock through open market repurchases under Align's $1.0 billion stock repurchase program that was approved by Align's Board of Directors in April 2025.

"We intend to repurchase $200.0 million of our common stock through open market transactions, reflecting the confidence management and the Board have in our long‑term strategy and growth opportunity," said John Morici, Align CFO and executive vice president, global finance. "This action underscores the strength of our balance sheet and our ability to generate strong cash flow. We remain focused on executing our strategic priorities, delivering meaningful outcomes for doctors and patients, and creating long‑term stockholder value through sustainable growth and performance. We are operating with a clear focus on disciplined execution—prioritizing the areas we control and continuing to invest thoughtfully in the capabilities and initiatives that will define Align's future."

The open market repurchases of Align's common stock will be executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The timing and number of shares repurchased will be based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors, including stock price, trading volume, general business and market conditions, and capital availability. The repurchases are expected to be completed by October 2026 and will be funded with Align's cash on hand. As of March 31, 2026, Align had approximately 71.6 million shares outstanding and $1,059.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $206.6 million is held domestically and is being used to support the open market repurchases under the latest trading plan and $853.2 million is held outside the United States.
