[1] Organic sales, Non-GAAP operating (loss) income, Non-GAAP net (loss) income, and Non-GAAP EPS are Non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain items. Please refer to the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP measures.}

Segment Results

Consumables Segment

Second quarter 2020 sales were $187 million, down 58.6% as compared to prior year. Foreign currency decreased sales by 0.9%. On an organic basis, consumable sales declined by 57.7% as compared to prior year. The decline in organic sales was due to lower demand in all three regions as dentists and customers reduced dental visits and procedures in response to COVID-19. Key drivers of this decline  were lower sales of Endodontic, Restorative, and Preventive products. 

Technologies & Equipment Segment

Second quarter 2020 sales were $304 million, down 45.6% versus prior year. Currency reduced sales by 1.0%, while divestitures and discontinued products reduced sales growth by 1.0%. On an organic basis, net sales declined by 43.6%. Key drivers of the decrease in organic sales were Equipment & Instruments, Digital Dentistry, and Implants businesses. 

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2020 was $175 million, up 20.7% as compared to operating cash flow generation of $145 million in the second quarter of 2019. The strong cash flow performance this quarter was driven by a reduction in working capital, primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivables and to a lesser extent, a reduction in inventory.

In the second quarter, the Company paid $22 million in dividends, bringing a total of $184 million returned to shareholders in the first six months of 2020. At June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.1 billion of cash available on its balance sheet.

Fiscal Year 2020 Outlook

As a result of the uncertainty around the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the business, the Company is not providing 2020 guidance.

Expanding the Restructuring Plan – Path to Durable Value-Creation

In November 2018, the Board launched a comprehensive plan originally designed to achieve annualized topline growth of 3% to 4% on a consistent basis, and adjusted operating income margin of 22% by the end of 2022. The plan also includes evaluating non-core and underperforming businesses, utilizing free cash flow generation and excess balance sheet capacity to return cash to shareholders, and reviewing additional longer-term cost savings opportunities.

As the Company continued to execute on its restructuring plan, additional opportunities have become apparent. Today, the Company announced that it is taking a number of additional steps, including two portfolio shaping initiatives and additional actions designed to simplify the organization and improve productivity. 

Management now anticipates annual cost savings of approximately $250 million, up from the previous target range of $200 to $225 million. The Company has already incurred approximately $225 million of restructuring expense, and now expects to incur approximately $375 million in total one-time expenditures and charges, up from the previous estimate of $275 million. The additional portfolio shaping initiatives announced today include:

• The clear aligner market is an attractive opportunity for Dentsply Sirona, as it allows the  Company to take full advantage of its unique strategic assets and its track record of innovation.  The Company is exiting the traditional orthodontics business, which includes brackets, bands, tubes and wires. The Company is transferring a portion of its traditional orthodontic assets to support the ramp up of its clear aligner business, which is experiencing strong revenue growth. The traditional orthodontic business is a component of the Technologies & Equipment Segment. This business had net sales of approximately $132 million in 2019. 
   
• As the laboratory market evolves, the digital space is one that offers Dentsply Sirona an opportunity to innovate and take advantage of our digital assets. Accordingly, the Company is exiting a portion of the analog laboratory business that manufactures removable dentures and related products. This business is a component of the Consumables Segment and had net sales of approximately $44 million in 2019.

The net income of the two businesses mentioned above is not material to the Company’s consolidated results. Together, the portfolio shaping initiatives and additional actions are expected to result in the closure of several facilities and an incremental reduction of approximately 6% to 7% of the Company's workforce by the end of 2021. The ongoing execution of the restructuring will enhance Dentsply Sirona's continuing efforts to grow revenues, expand margins, and simplify the organization.

Investors should understand it is impossible to predict or identify all such factors or risks. As such, investors should not consider either the foregoing list, or the risks identified in the Company’s SEC filings, to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties associated with an investment in the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company defines "organic sales" as the increase or decrease in net sales excluding: (1) net sales from acquired and divested businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition or divestiture, (2) net sales attributable to discontinued product lines in both the current and prior year periods, and (3) the impact of foreign currency translation, which is calculated by comparing current-period sales to prior-period sales, with both periods converted to the U.S. dollar rate at local currency foreign exchange rates for each month of the prior period.

The "organic sales" measure is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"); therefore, this item represents a Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP measure may differ from those used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Organic sales is an important internal measure for the Company. The Company's senior management receives a monthly analysis of operating results that includes organic sales. The performance of the Company is measured on this metric along with other performance metrics.

The Company discloses organic sales 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. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying net sales trends.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Common Share

In addition to reporting net income (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona and earnings (loss) per diluted common share in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted common share (“adjusted EPS”) measures. The Company defines "adjusted net income (loss)" as net income (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona excluding certain items as noted below. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by diluted common shares outstanding.

The adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona consists of net income (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona adjusted to exclude the following:

(1) Business combination related costs and fair value adjustments. These adjustments include costs related to integrating and consummating mergers and recently acquired businesses, as well as costs, gains and losses related to the disposal of businesses or significant product lines. In addition, this category includes the roll off to the consolidated statements of operations of fair value adjustments related to business combinations, except for amortization expense noted below. 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 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 termination 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. Amortization expense has been excluded from adjusted net income attributable to Dentsply Sirona 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) 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 and the vesting and exercise of employee share-based compensation. 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.

The "adjusted net income (loss)" and "adjusted EPS" measures are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; therefore, these items represent Non-GAAP measures. These Non-GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Income tax related adjustments may include the impact to adjust the interim effective income tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate.

Both adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS are important internal measures for the Company. The Company's senior management receives a monthly analysis of operating results that includes adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS. The performance of the Company is measured on these metrics along with other performance metrics.

The Company discloses adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS 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 intangible assets either purchased or acquired through a business combination. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying operating trends and cash flow generation.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Margin

In addition to reporting operating income (loss) in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted operating income (loss) and margin. The Company defines "adjusted operating income (loss)" as operating income (loss) in accordance with US GAAP excluding certain items noted above which are excluded on a pre-tax basis to arrive at adjusted operating income (loss), a Non-GAAP measure. The adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income (loss) by net sales.

The "adjusted operating income (loss)" and "adjusted operating margin" measures are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; therefore, these items represent Non-GAAP measures. These Non-GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Both adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating margin are important internal measures for the Company. The Company's senior management receives a monthly analysis of operating results that includes adjusted operating income (loss) and margin. The performance of the Company is measured on these metrics along with the adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS metrics noted above as well as other performance metrics.

The Company discloses adjusted operating income (loss) and margin 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 intangible assets either purchased or acquired through a business combination. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying operating trends and cash flow generation.
