  • Record second quarter net sales grew 30% on a constant currency basis excluding precious metals 

  • Record earnings per diluted share of $0.56 on a GAAP reported basis and $0.62 on an adjusted basis 

York, PA - July 31, 2012 - DENTSPLY International Inc. (NASDAQ: XRAY) today announced sales and earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 increased 25.2% to $763.0 million from $609.4 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Net sales, excluding precious metals content, of $698.5 million increased 23.8% from $564.0 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Constant currency net sales growth, excluding precious metals content, in the second quarter was 30.0%, driven largely by acquisitions, but also supported by internal sales growth in the U.S., Europe, and Rest of World categories.    

Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International for the second quarter of 2012 was $80.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $74.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.  On an adjusted basis, excluding certain non-GAAP items, earnings increased to $0.62 per diluted share from $0.56 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to earnings per share calculated on a GAAP basis is provided in the attached table.  

Bret Wise, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated "DENTSPLY continued to deliver strong results in the second quarter with record sales and earnings, and solid sequential improvement in operating margins.  Our  business continues to perform well, particularly in light of macroeconomic issues in the U.S. and Europe and a significant weakening of the euro during the quarter.  In light of the recent trading range of the euro, we are updating our full year adjusted earnings expectations to a range of $2.18 to $2.24 from the prior range of of $2.22 to $2.30 per diluted share."

Non-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.  These adjusted amounts consist of US GAAP amounts excluding, net of tax (1) acquisition related costs, (2) restructuring and other costs, (3) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (4) orthodontics business continuity costs, (5) income related to credit risk adjustments, (6) certain fair value adjustments at an unconsolidated affiliated company, and (7) income tax related adjustments.  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 Company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the Company's financial condition and results of operations.  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.
