Item 2.02. - Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition."

On October 28, 2010, the Company issued a press release disclosing its third quarter 2010 sales and earnings. This earnings release references net sales, excluding precious metal content, and net income, excluding certain unusual items, both of which could be considered measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP measures). Due to the fluctuations of precious metal prices and because the precious metal content of the Company's sales is largely a pass-through to customers and has minimal effect on earnings, the Company reports sales both with and without precious metal content to show the Company's performance independent of precious metal price volatility and to enhance comparability of performance between periods.  Earnings from operations, excluding certain unusual items, is presented to enhance the comparability between periods. A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

For Immediate Release

DENTSPLY International Inc.
Reports Third Quarter 2010 Sales and Earnings

York, PA – October 28, 2010 — DENTSPLY International Inc. (NASDAQ–XRAY) today announced sales and earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Net sales in the third quarter of 2010 increased 2.0% to $541.8 million compared to $531.2 million reported for the third quarter of 2009.  Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 0.1%, including 2.4% growth on a constant currency basis, to $494.3 million in the third quarter of 2010.  This constant currency growth was nearly offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation in the period.

Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International for the third quarter of 2010 was $63.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $0.45 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009.  Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International in the third quarter of 2010 included the net of tax impact of restructuring and other costs of $0.2 million, a net of tax impact for recent acquisition-related activities of $1.3 million and a net benefit for income tax-related adjustments of $0.3 million, which in aggregate reduced earnings per share on a net basis by $.01 per diluted share.  Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International in the third quarter of 2009 included the net of tax impact of restructuring and other costs of $0.8 million, a net of tax impact for recent acquisition-related activities of $0.1 million and a net benefit for income tax-related adjustments of $2.6 million, which in aggregate increased earnings per share on a net basis by $0.01 per diluted share.  For a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures, see the attached table.

Bret Wise, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated “The global dental market continued to grow modestly in the third quarter, with international markets being more resilient. We have now completed the sales and marketing expansion announced early in the year, with the resources fully in place.  We are also continuing to make additional investments in the back half of 2010 to take better advantage of a strong product pipeline targeted for launch in 2011 and 2012.  Based on these investments and current exchange rates, we are narrowing our 2010 earnings guidance to $1.86 to $1.91 per diluted share.”   This guidance for earnings per diluted share is on a non-GAAP basis, excluding restructuring and other costs, acquisition-related activities, a credit risk adjustment to outstanding derivatives and income tax-related adjustments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provided adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted share.  These adjusted amounts consist of GAAP amounts excluding (1) restructuring and other costs, (2) acquisition-related charges, (3) income tax-related adjustments and (4) credit risk adjustments to outstanding derivatives.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. 

The Company also provided an operational tax rate, which is the Company’s effective tax rate, a GAAP measure, adjusted for certain one-time charges.  Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International, adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating tax rate are considered measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and therefore are non-GAAP measures.  These non-GAAP measures may differ from those of other companies.

The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International, adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating tax rate provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  The non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
