# Align Technology: Business Model & Revenue Engine



## Direct Answer

Align Technology reports revenue across 2 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Clear Aligner is the largest, with $3.2 billion of revenue (80% of the total), followed by Systems and Services at $790 million (20%). 41% of revenue came from the United States.

## How Does Align Technology Make Money?

Clear Aligner supplies 80% of revenue, so Align Technology's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Systems and Services grew fastest (+2.7%) and Clear Aligner slowest (+0.5%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Systems and Services while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Clear Aligner | $3.2 billion | $3.2 billion | 80.4% | 0.5% |
| Systems and Services | $790 million | $769 million | 19.6% | 2.7% |

## Which Align Technology Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Clear Aligner | $1.0 billion | 31.9% |
| Systems and Services | $306 million | 38.8% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure Align Technology reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within Align Technology more safely than against another company.

## Where Does Align Technology's Revenue Come From?

Regions follow the definitions in the filing; most companies assign revenue by customer location.

| Region | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | $1.7 billion | $1.7 billion | 41.2% | -2.0% |
| Other International | $1.5 billion | $1.3 billion | 36.0% | 10.1% |
| Switzerland | $921 million | $984 million | 22.8% | -6.4% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Align Technology's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Align Technology reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 27, 2026 (accession 0001097149-26-000014), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
