DENTSPLY International Reports Record Second Quarter 2015 Results

XRAY

·         Record adjusted earnings of $0.73 per diluted share, up 6%  vs. $0.69 in prior year period
·         Revenue excluding precious metals up 3.2% in constant currency; Fx headwind 10.9%
·         Adjusted operating margin for the second quarter expanded 180 bps to 21.1%

York, PA - July 30, 2015 - DENTSPLY International Inc. (NASDAQ: XRAY) today announced sales and earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter Results

Net sales in the second quarter of 2015 of $698.0 million decreased 8.8% compared to $765.2 million in the second quarter of 2014.  Net sales, excluding metals content, of $674.7 million decreased 7.7% compared to $730.9 million in the second quarter of 2014.  The revenue decline, excluding precious metals, primarily reflects constant currency growth of 3.2% that was more than offset by a 10.9% headwind from foreign currency translation.

Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International for the second quarter of 2015 was $44.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $90.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.  On an adjusted basis, excluding certain items, net earnings per diluted share grew 6% to $0.73 compared to $0.69 in the second quarter of 2014.  A reconciliation of the adjusted earnings per share, a non-US GAAP  measure, to earnings per share calculated on a US-GAAP basis is provided in the attached table.

First Half 2015 Results

Net sales for the first six months of 2015 of $1.35 billion decreased 9.4% compared to $1.50 billion for the first six months of 2014.  Net sales for the six months, excluding precious metals content, of $1.31 billion decreased 8.0% compared to $1.42 billion in the first six months of 2014, due primarily to a 10.2% headwind from currency translation.

Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International for the first six months of 2015 was $108.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $162.9 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in the first six months of 2014.  On an adjusted basis, excluding certain items, net earnings per diluted share grew 2% to $1.31 compared to $1.28 in the first six months of 2014.

Outlook

Bret Wise, DENTSPLY's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated "Momentum improved in many parts of our business during the second quarter, as reflected in our accelerated organic growth rate.   This, coupled with continued margin expansion coming from our efficiency efforts gives us increased confidence as we begin the next phase of our global efficiency and investment program.  We are starting to reinvest a portion of the savings to fund growth initiatives that will improve the business over a longer term.  Given our first half results, recent strength in the US market, and in light of a relatively stable European dental market, we are increasing our full-year adjusted earnings guidance to the range of $2.54 to $2.62 per diluted share from $2.50 to $2.60 per share, previously."

Non-US GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share ("adjusted EPS").  The Company discloses adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International to allow investors to evaluate the performance of the Company's operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period and may not be indicative of past or future performance of the normal operations of the Company and certain large non-cash charges related to purchased intangible assets.  The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying operating trends and cash flow generation.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are important internal measures for the Company.  Senior management receives a monthly analysis of operating results that includes adjusted net income and adjusted EPS and the performance of the Company is measured on this basis along with other performance metrics.

The adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International consists of net income attributable to DENTSPLY International adjusted to exclude the net of tax impact of the following:

(1) Business combination related costs.  These adjustments include costs related to integrating and consummating recently acquired businesses and costs, gains and losses related to the disposal of businesses or product lines.  These items are irregular in timing and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends.

(2) Restructuring, restructuring program related costs and other costs.  These adjustments include costs related to the implementation of restructuring initiatives as well as certain other costs.  These costs can include, but are not limited to, severance costs, facility closure costs, lease and contract terminations costs, related professional service costs, duplicate facility and labor costs associated with specific restructuring initiatives, as well as, legal settlements and impairments of assets. These items are irregular in timing, amount and impact to the Company's financial performance.  As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and are therefore excluded for the purpose of understanding underlying operating trends.

(3) Amortization of purchased intangible assets.  This adjustment excludes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets.  Beginning in 2011, the Company began recording large non-cash charges related to the values attributed to purchased intangible assets.  As such, amortization expense has been excluded from adjusted net income attributed to DENTSPLY International to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding these large non-cash charges.

(4) Credit risk and fair value adjustments.  These adjustments include both the cost and income impacts of adjustments in certain assets and liabilities including the Company's pension obligations, that are recorded through net income which are due solely to the changes in fair value and credit risk.  These items can be variable and driven more by market conditions than the Company's operating performance.  As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.

(5) Certain fair value adjustments related to an unconsolidated affiliated company.  This adjustment represents the fair value adjustment of the unconsolidated affiliated company's convertible debt instrument held by the Company.  The affiliate is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  The fair value adjustment is driven by open market pricing of the affiliate's equity instruments, which has a high degree of variability and may not be indicative of the operating performance of the affiliate or the Company.

(6) Income tax related adjustments.  These adjustments include both income tax expenses and income tax benefits that are representative of income tax adjustments mostly related to prior periods, as well as the final settlement of income tax audits, and discrete tax items resulting from the implementation of restructuring initiatives.  These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may significantly impact the Company's operating performance.  As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.

Adjusted earnings per diluted common share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.  Adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share are considered measures not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and therefore are non-US GAAP measures.  These non-US GAAP measures may differ from other companies.  Income tax related adjustments may include the impact to adjust the interim effective income tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate.  The non-US GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
