7 DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------- JUNE 30, 1996 ------------- The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements conform with the requirements for interim financial statements and consequently do not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. Disclosures are updated where appropriate. NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------------------- Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The interim consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of DENTSPLY International Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. Minority interests in net income of consolidated subsidiary is not material and is included in other (income) expense, net. Certain items in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 classification. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the cost of $10.6 million or 8% and $10.8 million or 8%, respectively, of inventories was determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The cost of other inventories was determined by the first-in, first-out or average cost method. Property, Plant and Equipment - ----------------------------- Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Except for leasehold improvements, depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings - generally 40 years; and machinery and equipment - 8 to 15 years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease. For income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using various methods. Earnings per Common Share - ------------------------- Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents (options and warrants) had no material effect on the earnings per common share computation. All shares held by the DENTSPLY Employee Stock Ownership Plan are considered outstanding and are included in the earnings per common share computation. 8 NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS - ------------------------------ In January 1996, the Company purchased certain assets of Tulsa Dental Products L.L.C. ("Tulsa") in a cash transaction valued at $75 million. Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa is a manufacturer and distributor of principally endodontic instruments and materials. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Tulsa's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of $75 million plus direct acquisition costs has been allocated on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess ($53.5 million) of acquisition cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of Tulsa occurred on January 1, 1995: Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 1996 -------- -------- (in thousands, except per share amounts) Net sales $282,146 $320,939 Net income 25,336 33,014 Earnings per common share .94 1.22 The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained had the operations been combined during the periods presented. In June 1995, the Company purchased approximately 96% of the outstanding Capital Stock of Maillefer Instruments S.A. (Maillefer) from Maillefer stockholders for 11,000 SFR per share in a cash transaction valued at approximately $65.8 million. An additional 3.9% of Maillefer stock was purchased in June 1996 for 10,375 SFR per share, or approximately $2.3 million. Based in Switzerland, Maillefer Instruments is a manufacturer and distributor of principally endodontic instruments. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Maillefer's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of $68.1 million plus direct acquisition costs has been allocated on the basis of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by approximately $16.7 million, the values otherwise assignable to noncurrent assets acquired have been reduced by a proportionate part of the excess. In March 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of KV33 Corporation ("KV33") in a cash transaction valued at $11.5 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of KV33's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The excess ($10.2 million) of acquisition cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years. 9 NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES - -------------------- Inventories consist of the following: December 31, June 30, 1995 1996 ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Finished goods $ 70,677 $ 72,410 Work-in-process 26,440 27,439 Raw materials and supplies 28,587 28,725 -------- -------- $125,704 $128,574 ======== ======== Pre-tax income was $.4 million lower in the the six months ended June 30, 1995 as a result of using the LIFO method compared to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. If the FIFO method had been used to determine the cost of the LIFO inventories, the amounts at which net inventory is stated would be lower than reported at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996 by $2.0 million. NOTE 4 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - -------------------------------------- Property, plant and equipment consist of the following: December 31, June 30, 1995 1996 ------------ ------------ Assets, at cost: (in thousands) Land $ 17,395 $ 16,890 Buildings and improvements 67,903 69,158 Machinery and equipment 88,417 94,870 Construction in progress 9,039 9,088 -------- -------- 182,754 190,006 Less: Accumulated depreciation 42,653 50,498 -------- -------- $140,101 $139,508 ======== ======== NOTE 5 - SPECIAL CHARGES - ------------------------ During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company recorded special, charges which materially impacted the comparison with other periods. These special charges, on a pre-tax basis, included the following (in thousands): Costs associated with consolidation of all executive functions in York, Pennsylvania $2,460 Loss on sale of corporate aircraft 626 ------ $3,086 ====== 10 The impact of these expenses on earnings per share was $.07 per share in the quarter ended June 30, 1995. NOTE 6 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - -------------------------------- On October 13, 1994, the Company announced its strategic decision to discontinue the operations comprising its medical business. The medical operations include Eureka X-Ray Tube Corp. (Eureka), GENDEX Medical and CMW business units which manufacture medical x-ray tubes, medical x-ray systems and orthopedic bone cement, respectively. The net assets of CMW and substantially all of the net assets of Eureka were sold in the fourth quarter of 1994. Substantially all of the remaining assets comprising the medical business were sold in the first quarter of 1996 for $7.5 million. Sales from these operations were $4.8 million and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $10.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets are as follows: December 31, 1995 ------------ (in thousands) Accounts and notes receivable-trade, net $ 2,105 Inventories 6,550 Deferred income taxes 4,611 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 174 Property, plant and equipment, net 2,644 Other noncurrent assets, net 2,331 Cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired, net 3,348 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (10,149) Other liabilities (5,744) -------- $ 5,870 ======== NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT - ----------------------------------------- The increases from December 31, 1995 in Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt ($7.0 million) and Long-term debt ($37.1 million) were primarily due to utilization of the Company's credit facilities for the purchase of certain assets of Tulsa for $75 million. 11 DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1995 In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, net sales increased $25.1 million, or 18.0%, to $165.0 million from $139.9 in the same period of 1995. The Company experienced strong sales growth both from acquisitions and base business. Excluding acquisitions, North America, CIS and Africa had strong gains over the second quarter of 1995, while the Pacific Rim and Latin America sales increased approximately 35% over the prior year quarter. Sales in Europe were flat primarily due to weak economic conditions and the negative impact of exchange translation. Gross profit increased $11.4 million, or 16.4%, to $81.6 million from $70.2 million in the second quarter of 1995 as a result of higher net sales. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased from 50.2% in the second quarter of 1995 to 49.5% in the same period of 1996. The lower gross profit percentage was due to the impact of acquisition accounting for Maillefer and Tulsa. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million, or 16.6%. As a percentage of sales, expenses decreased from 30.9% in the second quarter of 1995 to 30.5% for the same period in 1996. This improvement came mainly from operations in Europe and in the Pacific Rim and Latin America where rapid sales growth outpaced the increase in expenses. The $3.3 million increase in other income is primarily due to a decrease in other expenses in the 1996 period, reflecting the effects of a charge of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 1995 for the closure of the Company's executive offices in Illinois and consolidating its executive operations in York, Pennsylvania. This charge on an after tax basis was $1.8 million or $.07 per share in the second quarter of 1995. Income before income taxes increased $7.5 million, or 34.0%, while net income increased $4.5 million, or 34.2%, from the second quarter of 1995. Excluding the one-time charge in the second quarter of 1995 for closing down the Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating executive operations in York, Pennsylvania, income before income taxes increased $4.4 million, or 17.5%, while net income increased $2.7 million, or 18.0%. Earnings per common share increased from $.49 in 1995 to $.66 in 1996, or 34.7%. Excluding the one-time charge in the second quarter of 1995 for closing down the Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating executive operations in York, Pennsylvania, earnings per common share increased $.10, or 17.9%. Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net sales increased $47.9 million, or 17.6%, to $320.9 million from $273.0 million in the same period of 1995. The increase primarily came from acquisitions and very strong sales growth in the Pacific Rim, Latin America and the CIS. 12 Gross profit increased $22.0 million, or 16.1%, to $158.6 million from $136.6 million in the first six months of 1995 as a result of higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased from 50.0% in the first six months of 1995 to 49.4% in the same period of 1996. Improvements in the gross profit percentage during the first six months of 1996 were more than offset by the adverse impact of acquisition accounting for Maillefer and Tulsa. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.7 million or 15.7%. As a percentage of sales, expenses decreased from 31.8% in the first six months of 1995 to 31.3% for the same period of 1996. This improvement came mainly from operations in Europe and in the Pacific Rim and Latin America where rapid sales growth outpaced the increase in expenses. Interest expense increased $1.7 million to $5.7 million for the first six months of 1996, compared to $4.0 million for the first six months of 1995. The increase is primarily due to acquisition debt, partially offset by cash generated from operations. Other income was $1.5 million for the first six months of 1996 compared to other expense of $2.9 million for the same period of 1995. Other income in 1996 is primarily due to a legal settlement in the Company's favor in the first quarter of 1996, while the Company took a one-time charge of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 1995 to cover the costs of closing down its Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating its executive operations in York, Pennsylvania. This charge on an after tax basis was $1.8 million or $.07 per common share. Income before income taxes increased $11.0 million, or 25.4%, while net income increased $6.5 million, or 25.0%, from the first six months of 1995. Excluding the one-time charge in the second quarter of 1995 for closing down the Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating executive operations in York, Pennsylvania, income before income taxes increased $7.9 million, or 17.0%, while net income increased $4.7 million, or 16.8%. Earnings per common share increased from $.97 in 1995 to $1.22 in 1996, or 25.8%. Excluding the one-time charge in the second quarter of 1995 for closing down the Executive Offices in Illlinois and consolidating executive operations in York, Pennsylvania, earnings per common share increased $.18, or 17.3%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In January 1996, the Company acquired the dental manufacturing and distribution operations of Tulsa for $75.0 million in cash and an earn-out based on the operating performance of the acquired business. The transaction was funded from the Company's existing $175.0 million Bank Revolving Loan Facility and short-term bank borrowings. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 include capital expenditures of $9.0 million. The Company's current ratio was 2.0 with working capital of $127.5 million at June 30, 1996. This compares with a current ratio of 2.0 and working capital of $122.7 million at December 31, 1995, excluding the net assets of discontinued operations. 13 The Company expects to be able to finance cash requirements, including capital expenditures, stock repurchases and debt service from the funds generated from operations and amounts available under the existing Revolving Loan Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash flows from operating activities were $37.7 million compared to $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase of $25.0 million results from higher sales and gross margins in 1996, while cash flows in 1995 were adversely impacted by income tax payments on the gain from disposal of the medical business and a larger increase in inventories than in 1996. IMPACT OF INFLATION The Company has generally offset the impact of inflation on wages and the cost of purchased materials by improving operating efficiencies and increase selling prices to the extent permitted by market conditions. 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings On May 28, 1996, the Company commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against New Technology Company (also known as NT Company) ("NT") and Tycom Corporation ("Tycom"). The suit alleges patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation arising out of the manufacture and sale by NT and Tycom of certain endodontic instruments, and seeks a permanent injunction, damages including compensatory damages for lost profits, treble damages where available, and restitution for court costs and legal fees. On or about July 1, 1996, NT and Tycom counter-claimed against the Company, alleging invalidity of the patents at issue, antitrust claims, tortious interference with business relations and unfair competition, and seeking compensatory and punitive damages, treble damages where available and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. The Company intends to contest these actions vigorously and believes that the claims made by NT and Tycom are without merit. The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to lawsuits arising out of their respective operations. The Company believes that pending litigation to which it is a party will not have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
