DENTSPLY International Reports Record Results for Second Quarter 2011


- Record Second quarter net sales increased 7.8% and 8.7% excluding precious metals

- Earnings per diluted share grew 6.1% as reported, and were up 10.0% on an adjusted basis

- Raising guidance for fiscal 2011 earnings

YORK, Pa., July 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENTSPLY International Inc. (Nasdaq:XRAY) today announced record sales and earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net sales in the second quarter of 2011 increased 7.8% to $609.4 million compared to $565.1 million reported for the second quarter of 2010. Net sales, excluding precious metal content, were $564.0 million, an 8.7% increase compared to $518.8 million the second quarter of 2010. The net sales growth, excluding precious metal content, was primarily the result of favorable foreign exchange rates, however we also had positive impacts from both recent acquisitions and internal sales growth, despite headwinds from reduced orthodontic supply and lower Japanese sales resulting from the natural disaster in that country.

Net income attributable to DENTSPLY, for the second quarter of 2011 was $74.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, representing growth of 6.1% compared to $0.49 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010. Earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011, on a non-GAAP basis, were $0.55, an increase of 10.0% from $0.50 in the first quarter of 2010.  Earnings were positively impacted by organic growth, favorable foreign currency exchange rates and a lower effective tax rate, and were negatively impacted by the supply disruption of orthodontic products sourced from Japan and depressed sales within that region.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to earnings per share calculated according to GAAP is presented on the attached table.

Bret Wise, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated "We are pleased to report record sales and earnings in the second quarter and we are particularly pleased with the early sales performance from a number of new products launched during the first half of the year. Although our results have been negatively impacted by the supply outage of orthodontic products sourced from Japan, we continue to execute our contingency plans to mitigate the impact on both our near-term and long-term results. We expect that the negative impact will increase in the back half of the year and that we should begin to recover early in 2012. Based upon our performance in the first half of the year, our outlook for a stable or improving market in the second half, and our current assessment of our orthodontic contingency plans, we are increasing our guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share in 2011, to a range of $1.92 to $2.00 from our previous guidance of $1.86 to $1.98 per diluted share."

"We continue to be very excited about our announced transaction to acquire Astra Tech AB from AstraZeneca. We have submitted the transaction for regulatory approval in all countries where it is required and remain optimistic that the transaction will close later this year. The transaction creates some compelling opportunities for us to grow our business and we look forward to welcoming the Astra Tech employees to DENTSPLY, when the transaction closes."

This press release contains forward-looking information (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the projections or other forward-looking information set forth herein as a result of certain risk factors. These risk factors include, without limitation; the continued strength of dental markets, the timing, success and market reception for our new and existing products, uncertainty with respect to governmental actions with respect to dental products, outcome of litigation, continued support of our products by influential dental professionals, and changes in the general economic environment that could affect the business. Changes in such assumptions or factors could produce significantly different results. 

For an additional description of risk factors, please refer to the Company's most recent Form 10-K and its subsequent periodic reports on Forms 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company provided adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted share.  These adjusted amounts consist of GAAP amounts excluding (1) certain mark-to-market charges at an unconsolidated affiliated company, (2) acquisition-related charges, (3) income tax-related adjustments and, (4) restructuring and other costs. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. 

The Company also provided an operational tax rate, which is the Company's effective tax rate, a GAAP measure, adjusted for certain charges.  Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International, adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating tax rate are considered measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and therefore are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may differ from those of other companies.

The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International, adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating tax rate provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
