/EIN News/ -- CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. ("Dentsply Sirona" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XRAY) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

First quarter net sales of $879 million decreased (7.7%) (organic sales decreased (4.4%)) compared to the first quarter of 2024. Foreign currency changes negatively impacted first quarter 2025 net sales by approximately ($30) million. Net income was $20 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net income of $18 million, or $0.09 per share in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.43, compared to $0.42 in the first quarter of 2024. A reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures (including organic sales, adjusted EBITDA and margin, adjusted EPS, adjusted free cash flow conversion, and segment adjusted operating income) to GAAP measures is provided below.

"In the first quarter, organic sales were roughly flat excluding the Byte sales impact, with growth in two of our three regions. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded which primarily reflects the benefits from our transformational initiatives and internal financial discipline. We are delivering progress through customer-centric innovation, customer experience improvements, and operational efficiency, while operating in an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic environment," said Simon Campion, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking forward, we are maintaining our outlook for organic sales and adjusted EPS and will continue to focus on improving what is within our control to deliver sustainable long-term performance."

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 was $7 million, compared to $25 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the unfavorable timing of collections on accounts receivable and a build of inventory during the quarter. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company paid $32 million in dividends. The Company had $398 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025.

2025 Outlook

The Company is maintaining its 2025 outlook for organic sales in the range of down (4.0%) to (2.0%), and adjusted EPS in the range of $1.80 to $2.00. The Company is increasing its expected reported sales to a new range of $3.60 billion to $3.70 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. This outlook reflects the current state of tariffs and trade policy.

Other 2025 outlook assumptions are included in the first quarter 2025 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, which may include, but is not limited to, restructuring charges, transformation-related costs, impairment charges, certain tax adjustments, and other significant items, is not available without unreasonable effort and cannot be reasonably estimated.

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 are used by the Company to measure its performance and may differ from those used by other companies. These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are helpful as they provide a 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 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 and Margin

Adjusted operating income is computed by excluding the following items from operating income (loss) as reported in accordance with US GAAP:

(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 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) Restructuring-related charges and other costs. These adjustments include costs related to the implementation of restructuring initiatives, including but not limited to, severance costs, facility closure costs, and lease and contract termination costs, as well as related professional service costs associated with these restructuring initiatives and global transformation activity. 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 include gains and losses on the sale of property, legal settlements, executive separation costs, write-offs of inventory as a result of product rationalization, and changes in accounting principles recorded within the period. This category also includes costs related to investigations and associated legal cases and remediation activities, which primarily include legal, accounting and other professional service fees, as well as turnover and other employee-related costs.

(3) Goodwill and intangible asset impairments. These adjustments include charges related to goodwill and intangible asset impairments.

(4) Amortization of purchased intangible assets. This adjustment excludes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value. 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.

(5) 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, the credit risk component of hedging instruments, 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 Gross Profit and Margin

Adjusted gross profit is computed by excluding from gross profit the impact of any of the above adjustments that affect either sales or cost of sales.

Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Adjusted net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) as reported in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude the items identified above, as well as the related income tax impacts of those items. The income tax effect of each pre-tax adjustment was determined based on the tax rate of the jurisdiction in which the related pre-tax adjustment was recorded.

Additionally, net income is adjusted for other tax-related adjustments such as discrete or significant adjustments to valuation allowances and other uncertain tax positions, final settlement of income tax audits, discrete tax items resulting from the implementation of restructuring initiatives, the windfall or shortfall relating to exercise of employee stock-based compensation, any difference between the interim and annual effective tax rate, and adjustments relating to prior periods.

Management believes that these adjustments for certain tax-related matters are helpful to normalize the tax effects of certain discrete or significant items that are irregular or infrequent in timing and may not be indicative of past or future performance of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA and Margin

In addition to the adjustments described above in arriving at adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA is computed by further excluding any remaining interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share

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

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and 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 adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net income (loss). Management believes 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 (loss) as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
