New Regional Reporting

Beginning in the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's geographic regions for reporting net sales were revised to consist of countries in (i) North and South America ("Americas"), (ii) Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"), and (iii) Asia Pacific ("APAC"). The revised regions align with how the Company manages commercial activities and reports net sales internally. This change did not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

(1) Constant currency sales are a Non-GAAP measure in which the reported net sales are adjusted for the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable prior period's currency exchange rates. The foreign currency impact is the only reconciling item between as reported and constant currency sales.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2026 was $40 million, compared to $7 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to favorable collections on accounts receivable. Free cash flow, a Non-GAAP measure, in the first quarter of 2026 was ($12) million compared to ($12) million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company had $190 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026.

2026 Outlook

The Company is maintaining its 2026 outlook for net sales in the range of $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion and adjusted EPS in the range of $1.40 to $1.50.

We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected earnings per diluted share to expected adjusted earnings per diluted share as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, items which may include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, transformation-related costs, impairment charges, certain tax adjustments, and other significant items. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Supplemental Information – Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; adjusted gross profit; adjusted gross profit as a percent of net sales ("Adjusted Gross Margin"); adjusted operating income; adjusted operating income as a percent of net sales ("Adjusted Operating Margin"); adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"); Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin"); adjusted net income (loss); adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share ("Adjusted EPS"); and Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by the Company to measure its performance and management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and shareholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results of reportable business segments and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with our budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company has defined the non-GAAP measures used by management as follows:

Constant Currency: reported net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable 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. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by net sales.
- Business combination-related costs: costs related to consummating and integrating acquired businesses, as well as net gains and losses related to disposed businesses. Costs include the post-acquisition roll-off of fair value adjustments recorded related to business combinations, except for amortization expense of purchased intangible assets noted below.
- Restructuring-related charges and other costs: 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. 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.
- Goodwill and intangible asset impairments: include charges related to goodwill and intangible asset impairments.
- Amortization of purchased intangible assets: includes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value.
- Fair value and credit risk 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, contingent consideration from past acquisitions, and equity-method investments.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin: gross profit excluding the impact of any of the above adjustments that affect either net sales or cost of sales. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss): net income (loss) as reported in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude the items identified above and the related income tax impacts of those items, as well as the tax effects of certain significant and discrete tax adjustments, including benefits and provisions related to changes in realization of deferred tax assets and tax credit carryforwards, as well as other events that affect comparability and are not core to our underlying operational performance.
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: computed by dividing adjusted earnings (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Free Cash Flow: net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures during the same period.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures below, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The following reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of adjusted net earnings per diluted share are the same as those used in the calculation of reported net earnings per diluted share for the respective period. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of adjusted net loss per diluted share excludes potential dilutive common shares.
