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 March 1, 2018, the Company issued a press release disclosing its fourth 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 in the United States of America (non-US 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.

Item 9.01. - Financial Statements and Exhibits

York, Pennsylvania, March 1, 2018 - DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona”) (Nasdaq: XRAY), The Dental Solutions Company, today announced its preliminary financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Reported net sales of $1,091.0 million increased 9.5% compared to $996.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Sales grew 5.3% on a constant currency basis. Sales were favorably impacted, based on the Company’s estimate, by approximately $21 million ($23 million equipment inventory build in the U.S. and $2 million inventory reduction in Rest of World) as a result of inventory build in our distribution channels in the current period.

On a geographic basis, U.S. reported net sales of $365.7 million increased 11.2% compared to $329.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. U.S. sales grew 9.7% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales in Europe of $445.1 million increased 10.6% compared to $402.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Sales in Europe grew 2.6% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales in Rest of World of $280.2 million increased 5.7% compared to $265.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Sales in Rest of World grew 3.7% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales in the Consumables segment increased 9.1% to $460.8 million. Sales of Consumables grew 4.6% on a constant currency basis.

Net loss attributable to Dentsply Sirona for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $673.4 million, or a loss of $2.95 per diluted share, compared to net income of $107.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2016. GAAP loss included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $581.0 million and an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $266.9 million both driven by management’s projections, tax reform and foreign exchange rate changes. On an adjusted basis, excluding certain items, non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share were $0.82 compared to $0.67 in the fourth quarter of 2016. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to earnings per share calculated on a US-GAAP basis is provided in the attached tables.

Preliminary Full Year 2017 Financial Results
Reported net sales of $3,993.4 million increased 6.6% compared $3,745.3 million in 2016. Sales of the combined businesses grew 1.6% at constant currency exchange rates. Sales were favorably impacted, based on the Company’s estimate, by approximately $26 million ($38 million equipment inventory build in the U.S., $4 million inventory reduction in Europe and $8 million inventory reduction in Rest of World) as a result of inventory build in our distribution channels.

On a geographic basis, U.S. reported net sales of $1,372.5 million increased 4.6% compared to $1,311.6 million in 2016. Sales of the combined businesses were negative 0.5% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales in Europe of $1,606.2 million increased 9.8% compared to $1,463.2 million in 2016. Sales of the combined businesses grew 4.1% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales in Rest of World of $1,014.7 million increased 4.5% compared to $970.5 million in 2016. Sales of the combined businesses grew 0.8% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales in the Consumables segment increased by 5.8% to $1,792.6 million in 2017. Sales of the combined businesses Consumables grew 3.7% on a constant currency basis.

Reported net sales for the Technologies & Equipment segment increased by 7.3% to $2,200.8 million in 2017. Sales of the combined businesses for Technologies & Equipment had negative growth of 0.1% on a constant currency basis.

Net loss attributable to Dentsply Sirona for 2017 was $1,573.0 million, or a loss of $6.86 per share, compared to net income of $429.9 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, in 2016. 2017 results reflect the impact of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1,673.9 million and a non-cash indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $346.7 million. The Company does not expect the impairment charge to have any impact on its liquidity, cash flows from operating activities, or compliance with the financial covenants set forth in its debt instruments.

On an adjusted basis, excluding certain items, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in 2017 were $2.66 compared to $2.78 in 2016. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to earnings per share calculated on a US-GAAP basis is provided in the attached table.

Donald M. Casey, Jr., Dentsply Sirona’s Chief Executive Officer commented: “My early days at Dentsply Sirona have confirmed my belief that this this a great company in an attractive industry. The task at hand is to focus the company on the priorities to achieve both growth and operational improvement.”

Mr. Casey continued: “We will take advantage of our breadth of innovative products and strong global market position to deliver unique dental solutions. Our employees are excited to create value every day and we intend to invest in leading technologies to continue the legacies of Dentsply Sirona.”

Guidance for 2018^
Management expects adjusted EPS for 2018 in the range of $2.70 to $2.80 per diluted share. The guidance range reflects a 16 cent adverse impact on tax expense related to tax reform and a higher adjusted non-GAAP effective tax rate.

2018 guidance assumes approximately 3% constant currency revenue growth for the year.

Filing of Form 12b-25
DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. This is due to a combination of recent developments and changes including: (i) an impairment triggering event related to the Company’s CAD/CAM, Imaging and Treatment Center reporting units, (ii) estimation of the provisional amount of the income tax impact on the Company related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 and (iii) the recent hiring and transition of a new Chief Executive Officer in February 2018. Accordingly, the Company requires additional time to complete certain financial closing processes, the results of which will be included in the Form 10-K.

The Company intends to file its Form 10-K within the 15 calendar day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.

Conference Call/Webcast Information
Dentsply Sirona’s management team will host an investor conference call and live webcast tomorrow, March 2nd at 8:30 am EST. A presentation will also be available on www.dentsplysirona.com in the Investors section.

1Non-GAAP adjusted EPS, net sales excluding precious metals, constant currency growth and internal growth and results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items. Please refer to the disclosure at the end of the release.
For a reconciliation of constant currency growth to internal revenue growth please see supplemental tables 1-3 at the end of the release.
Non-GAAP adjusted EPS, constant currency growth and internal growth and results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items. Please refer to the disclosure at the end of the release.

2“Sales of our combined businesses” combines the historical consolidated revenues of DENTSPLY and Sirona, giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2015.

3The Company estimates that the increase in tax rate for 2018 compared to prior year will represent approximately 16 cents of additional tax expense.

^Our guidance is presented on a non-GAAP basis, as it does not include the impact of prospective acquisitions, acquisitions announced but not yet closed and other non-GAAP items, including restructuring costs, many of which are difficult to predict. Therefore, we cannot provide a full reconciliation of these measures. The Company is unable at this time to address the probable significance of all of the unavailable information.

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 Sirona and adjusted earnings per diluted common share (“adjusted EPS”). The Company discloses adjusted net income attributable to Dentsply Sirona 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.

The principal measurements used by the Company in evaluating its business are: (1) constant currency sales growth by segment and geographic region; (2) internal sales growth by segment and geographic region; and (3) adjusted operating income and margins of each reportable segment, which excludes the impacts of purchase accounting, corporate expenses, and certain other items to enhance the comparability of results period to period. These principal measurements are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; therefore, these items represent non-US GAAP measures. These non-US GAAP measures may differ from 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.

The Company defines “constant currency sales growth” as the increase or decrease in net sales from period to period excluding precious metal content and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This impact is calculated by comparing current-period revenues to prior-period revenues, with both periods converted at the U.S. dollar to local currency foreign exchange rate for each month of the prior period, for the currencies in which the Company does business.

The Company defines “internal sales growth” as constant currency sales growth excluding the impacts of net acquisitions and divestitures, merger accounting impacts and discontinued products.

Management also believes that the presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, provides useful information to investors because a portion of Dentsply Sirona’s net sales is comprised of sales of precious metals generated through sales of the Company’s precious metal dental alloy products, which are used by third parties to construct crown and bridge materials. Due to the fluctuations of precious metal prices and because the cost of the precious metal content of the Company’s sales is largely passed through to customers and has minimal effect on earnings, Dentsply Sirona reports net 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. The Company uses its cost of precious metal purchased as a proxy for the precious metal content of sales, as the precious metal content of sales is not separately tracked and invoiced to customers. The Company believes that it is reasonable to use the cost of precious metal content purchased in this manner since precious metal dental alloy sale prices are typically adjusted when the prices of underlying precious metals change.

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.







https://cdn.kscope.io/489511ac9f16898980cb207d2b25486c-linea06.jpg



The adjusted net income attributable to Dentsply Sirona consists of net income 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 statement 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 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. Amortization expense has been excluded from adjusted net income attributed 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) 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 Sirona by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to Dentsply Sirona 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.
