Charlotte, N.C., February 28, 2023 - DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona” or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XRAY) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.

Full year 2022 net sales of $3,922 million decreased (7.3%), compared to $4,231 million for the full year of 2021. Net loss was ($950) million, or ($4.41) per diluted share, compared to income of $411 million, or $1.87 per diluted share for the full year of 2021. Full year 2022 net loss includes a non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $1.1 billion net of tax, which were recorded in the second half of 2022. These charges impacted earnings per diluted share by $5.10. Adjusted earnings per diluted share decreased to $2.09 compared to $2.82 in 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, adjusted earnings per share was $2.44. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2022 was $761 million, compared to $978 million in 2021. A reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures (including organic sales, adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow conversion) to GAAP measures is provided below.

Fourth quarter 2022 net sales of $983 million decreased (10.9%), compared to $1,103 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss was ($15) million, or ($0.07) per diluted share, compared to net income of $119 million, or $0.54 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted earnings per diluted share decreased to $0.46 compared to $0.83 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

“2022 was a challenging year due to both internal and external factors. Despite these challenges, we were pleased to deliver fourth quarter financial results that exceeded the high end of our prior sales and EPS outlook ranges. This represents an important milestone as the Company works to improve performance and rebuild investor and employee confidence,” said Simon Campion, Chief Executive Officer. “As we enter a new year, we are intently focused on the changes we are making to our organization, operating model, and cadence, highlighted by the plan we recently announced. Dentsply Sirona is well-positioned in an attractive industry, and we are confident that the combination of industry trends, our robust portfolio, and the actions we are taking now will produce significant long-term value for our stakeholders."

Segment Results

Technologies & Equipment
Full year 2022 net sales were $2,318 million, down (7.4%) versus prior year. Foreign currency negatively impacted sales by (7.9%), acquisitions increased sales by 0.1%, while organic sales increased by 0.4% as compared to prior year.

Fourth quarter 2022 net sales were $602 million, down (11.6%) versus prior year. Foreign currency negatively impacted sales by (9.4%), while organic sales decreased by (2.2%) as compared to prior year. The decrease in organic sales was primarily driven by softer implants volume, particularly in China, partially offset by strong aligners growth.

Consumables
Full year 2022 net sales were $1,604 million, down (7.1%) versus prior year. Foreign currency negatively impacted sales by (5.2%), divestitures and discontinued products negatively impacted sales by (0.2%), while organic sales decreased by (1.7%) as compared to prior year.

Fourth quarter 2022 net sales were $381 million, down (9.9%) versus prior year. Foreign currency negatively impacted sales by (6.5%), while organic sales decreased by (3.4%) as compared to prior year. The decrease in organic sales was primarily driven by COVID lockdowns in China, partially offset by pricing and contributions from new products.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $142 million, as compared to $222 million in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow conversion in the quarter was 110%, up from 100% conversion in the prior year fourth quarter. Full year 2022 operating cash flow was $517 million, as compared to $657 million in the prior year. In the fourth quarter, the Company paid $26 million in dividends resulting in a total of $254 million returned to shareholders in 2022.

2023 Outlook

Going forward, the Company will use adjusted EBITDA margin as its primary profitability metric. Management believes that EBITDA margin is a useful profitability metric because it provides an objective measure of operational performance and excludes certain non-cash charges. The outlook for full year 2023 includes net sales in the range of $3.85 billion to $3.95 billion, down (1%) to up 2% on an organic basis. The outlook assumes foreign currency will be a (100) bps headwind to net sales on a full year basis. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be greater than 18% with adjusted EPS in the range of $1.80 to $2.00.

The Company expects first quarter 2023 organic sales growth of approximately 1% and adjusted EBITDA margin to be greater than 15%.

Further 2023 outlook assumptions are included in the Q4 2022 Earnings Presentation posted on the Investors section of the Dentsply Sirona website at https://investor.dentsplysirona.com. The Company does not provide forward-looking estimates on a GAAP basis as certain information is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated.

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

This Press Release contains statements that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts which constitute forward-looking statements, including, statements and projections concerning, among other things, the expected timing, benefits and costs associated with the Company’s restructuring plan described in this Press Release. The Company’s forward-looking statements represent current expectations and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from those projected or suggested in any forward-looking statements and no assurance can be given that the results described in such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date they are made. The forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements, many of which are outside of our control. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Any number of factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks associated with the following: the Company’s ability to remain profitable in a very competitive marketplace, which depends upon the Company’s ability to differentiate its products and services from those of competitors; the Company’s failure to realize assumptions and projections which may result in the need to record additional impairment charges; the effect of changes to the Company’s distribution channels for its products and the failure of significant distributors of the Company to effectively manage their inventories; the Company’s ability to control costs and failure to realize expected benefits of cost reduction and restructuring efforts and the Company’s failure to anticipate and appropriately adapt to changes or trends within the rapidly changing dental industry. Furthermore, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and may continue to be amplified by or may, in the future, be amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of varying private and governmental responses that affect our customers, employees, vendors and the economies and communities where they operate. Investors should carefully consider these and other relevant factors, including those risk factors in Part I, Item 1A, (“Risk Factors”) in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, including any amendments thereto, and any updating information which may be contained in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, when reviewing any forward-looking statement. The Company notes these factors for investors as permitted under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors should understand it is impossible to predict or identify all such factors or risks. As such, you should not consider either the foregoing lists, or the risks identified in the Company’s SEC filings, to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) the Company provides certain measures in this press release, described below, which are not calculated in accordance with US GAAP and therefore 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. These Non-GAAP measures are used by the Company to measure its performance and may differ from those used by other companies.

Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are helpful as they provide another measure of the results of operations, and are frequently used by investors and analysts to evaluate the Company’s performance exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, and which may not be indicative of past or future performance of the Company.

Organic Sales

The Company defines "organic sales" as the reported net sales adjusted for: (1) net sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition, (2) net sales attributable to disposed businesses or discontinued product lines in both the current and prior year periods, and (3) the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable prior period's foreign currency exchange rates.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Margin

Adjusted operating income (loss) is computed by excluding the following items from operating income:

(1) Business combination related costs and fair value adjustments. These adjustments include costs related to consummating and integrating acquired businesses, as well as net gains and losses related to the disposed businesses. In addition, this category includes the post-acquisition roll-off of fair value adjustments recorded related to business combinations, except for amortization expense of purchased intangible assets noted below. Although the Company is regularly engaged in activities to find and act on opportunities for strategic growth and enhancement of product offerings, the costs associated with these activities may vary significantly between periods based on the timing, size and complexity of acquisitions and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company.

(2) Impairment related charges and other costs. These adjustments include charges related to goodwill and intangible asset impairments. Other costs include costs related to the implementation of restructuring initiatives, including but not limited to, severance costs, facility closure costs, lease and contract termination costs, and related professional service costs associated with specific restructuring initiatives. The Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency; consequently restructuring charges may recur but are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity, and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company. Other costs also include legal settlements, executive separation costs, and changes in accounting principle recorded within the period. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, this category includes costs related to the recent investigation and associated remediation activities which primarily include legal, accounting and other professional service fees, as well as turnover and other employee-related costs.

(3) Amortization of purchased intangible assets. This adjustment excludes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value in purchase accounting. Although these costs contribute to revenue generation and will recur in future periods, their amounts are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions, and as such may not be indicative of the future performance of the Company.

(4) Fair value and credit risk adjustments. These adjustments include the non-cash mark-to-market changes in fair value associated with pension assets and obligations, and equity-method investments. Although these adjustments are recurring in nature, they are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to changes in the underlying assumptions and market conditions. The non-service component of pension expense is a recurring item, however it is subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to changes in actuarial assumptions, interest rates, plan changes, settlements, curtailments, and other changes in facts and circumstances. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company.

Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by net sales.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Adjusted net income (loss) consists of the reported net income (loss) in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude the items identified above, the related income tax impacts, and discrete income tax adjustments such as: final settlement of income tax audits, discrete tax items resulting from the implementation of restructuring initiatives and the vesting and exercise of employee share-based compensation, any difference between the interim and annual effective tax rate, and adjustments relating to prior periods.

These adjustments are irregular in timing, and the variability in amounts may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share

Adjusted earnings (loss) (EPS) per diluted share is computed by dividing adjusted earnings (losses) attributable to Dentsply Sirona shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is computed by excluding interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as well as the adjustments described above for computing Adjusted Operating Income.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures during the same period, and adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as that number divided by adjusted net income (loss). Management believes that this Non-GAAP measure is important for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance as it measures our ability to efficiently generate cash from our business operations relative to earnings. It should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
