CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona” or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XRAY) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2023.
Third quarter net sales of $947 million were flat (organic sales decreased (0.3%)) compared to the third quarter of 2022. Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was ($266) million, or ($1.25) per share, compared to net loss of ($1,077) million, or ($5.01) per share in the third quarter of 2022. Non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets were ($302) million net of tax, or ($1.42) per share in the third quarter of 2023, and ($1,092) million net of tax, or ($5.07) per share in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.49 compared to $0.41 in the third quarter of 2022. The improvement in adjusted EPS was primarily driven by cost reductions, leading to adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and a lower tax rate. A reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures (including organic sales, adjusted EBITDA and margin, adjusted EPS, and adjusted free cash flow conversion) to GAAP measures is provided below.
"Despite the challenging external environment which negatively impacted sales results in the quarter, we delivered over 18% adjusted EBITDA margin and 20% adjusted EPS growth. Bright spots for the quarter include 10% organic sales growth in our global aligners business, 20% growth in China, and double-digit growth in our U.S. CAD/CAM business," said Simon Campion, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have made meaningful progress on our transformation initiatives to improve our operational execution and deliver innovative solutions to our customers. We remain confident that these efforts will position us to deliver significant value over the long-term."

United States Europe Rest of World Total Net Sales Growth % (0.2 %) (1.1 %) 2.0 % — Organic Sales Growth % (0.9 %) (2.8 %) 4.5 % (0.3 %) Cash Flow and Liquidity
Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2023 was $134 million, compared to $109 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of improved profitability and working capital, including the impact of a lower build of inventory, and the timing of accounts receivable and accounts payable. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company paid $29 million in dividends resulting in a total of $236 million returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in the first nine months of 2023. The Company had $309 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023.
Goodwill Impairment
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets of ($302) million net of tax, primarily within the Connected Technology Solutions segment. The decline in fair value for this reporting unit was driven by adverse macroeconomic factors as a result of weakened demand particularly in European markets, and increased discount rates.
2023 Outlook
Based on the results of the third quarter and recent developments in the macroeconomic environment, the Company is revising its 2023 outlook. The revised outlook includes anticipated organic sales growth of approximately 1%, with net sales in the range of $3.90 billion to $3.94 billion. Adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.85.

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 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 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 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 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) 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 charges related to 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 the recent investigations, related ongoing legal matters and associated 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, 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 income margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales.
Adjusted Gross Profit
Adjusted gross profit is computed by excluding from gross profit the impact any of the above adjustments that affect either sales or cost of 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. Additionally, net income is adjusted for other tax-related adjustments such as: discrete 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 and the windfall or shortfall relating to 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 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) (EPS) per diluted share is computed by dividing adjusted earnings (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona shareholders 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.
