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 May 1, 2012, the Company issued a press release disclosing its first quarter sales and earnings. This earnings release references net sales, excluding precious metal content, and net income, adjusted for certain charges, both of which are 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, adjusted for certain charges, are 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.

DENTSPLY International Reports Record First Quarter Results

Record first quarter net sales increased 25.6% and 26.3% excluding precious metals
Earnings per diluted share of $0.37 on a GAAP reported basis and $0.52 on an adjusted basis

York, PA - May 1, 2012 - DENTSPLY International Inc. (NASDAQ: XRAY) today announced sales and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net sales in the first quarter of 2012 increased 25.6% to $716.4 million from $570.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net sales, excluding precious metals content, of $665.6 million increased 26.3% from $527.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. Constant currency net sales growth, excluding precious metals content, in the first quarter was 28.3%, driven largely by acquisitions, but also supported by internal sales growth, which was notably strong in the United States.

Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International for the first quarter of 2012 was $53.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $69.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011. On an adjusted basis, excluding certain non-GAAP items, earnings increased to $0.52 per diluted share from $0.50 per diluted share in the first 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, “We are pleased to report a strong start to fiscal 2012. Our new product portfolio continues to drive above-market base business growth in many sectors of dentistry, helping to overcome our supply constraints in orthodontics. Our orthodontics business has improved sequentially and we expect this to continue through the balance of 2012. We have also made substantial progress on our acquisition integration efforts, including going live with a new combined implant organization in the United States. The global dental market continued to grow in the first quarter, with strength in the U.S. offsetting slower conditions in Europe. Given these factors, we are confirming our earnings expectations on an adjusted basis for 2012 in the range of $2.22 to $2.30 per diluted share.”

This press release contains forward-looking information (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the projections or other forward-looking information set forth herein as a result of certain risk factors. These risk factors include, without limitation; the continued strength of dental and medical markets, the timing, success and market reception for our new and existing products, uncertainty with respect to governmental actions with respect to dental and medical products, outcome of litigation, continued support of our products by influential dental and medical professionals, our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in the general economic environment that could affect the business. Changes in such assumptions or factors could produce significantly different results.

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) orthodontic 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.
