Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2022 call → NOWe need answer question based ONLY on transcript. Need determine if management describes situation: existing capability already owned/operated for existing business turns out useful for second larger purpose, and recently begun turning second use into real business without building new company. Need YES or NO. Let's parse transcript. Company Align Technology: Clear aligners (Invisalign) and iTero scanners, services. They mention various programs. Need find if management describes something like existing manufacturing/facility/technology/installed base used for second larger purpose, and converting. Look at Joe's comments: "We continue to develop new capital equipment opportunities... increased opportunities for customers to upgrade... provide refurbished scanners... leasing and rental offerings... leveraging our balance sheet..." Not exactly. They mention "iTero scanner rental programs" and certified preowned scanner leasing rental with Desktop Metal. Desktop Metal collaboration: supply iTero Element Flex scanners to Desktop Labs, one of largest lab networks in U.S. serving general dentists. iTero Element Flex now preferred restorative scanner for desktop labs, connect dentists to suite. "We see significant opportunities to enable dentists to use scan data directly order restorative services or printed ready digital files from Desktop Labs..." Also extending Align Digital Platform including Invisalign and Exocad software to Desktop Labs' customers. Is this existing capability? iTero scanners are existing product. Second use: restorative dentistry workflows / labs? The company already operates in restorative dentistry? They have iTero scanners for orthodontics and restorative. The collaboration with Desktop Labs to supply scanners to labs, enable dentists order restorative services. Is that a second, much larger purpose? Hmm. Another part: "Systems and Services revenues increased sequentially... continued sales of intraoral scanners, especially iTero 5D... growth of scanner rental programs... initial deployment of a certified preowned scanner leasing rental program with desktop metal..." Desktop Metal collaboration is described as strategic collaboration to supply iTero scanners to Desktop Labs. This is using existing scanner product to new channel (lab network) for restorative.
