BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and related notes contain the accounts of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid on an annual basis. The amendments are intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The Company has adopted this accounting standard as of January 1, 2025, which impacts annual disclosures only. This update did not have an impact to results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (“PBEs”). In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which clarified the effective date for ASU No. 2024-03. These amendments are intended to provide more information about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments,” which amends ASC 470-202 to clarify the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted if the entity has also adopted ASU 2020-06 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” for that period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Seasonality

The Company’s business is subject to quarterly fluctuations in demand due to seasonality, which can impact the timing of the Company’s consolidated net sales, net income, and cash flows. Demand can fluctuate based on the timing of dental tradeshows and variability in dental patient traffic, which can be exacerbated by seasonal or severe weather patterns. Some dental practices in certain countries may also delay purchasing equipment and restocking consumables until year-end due to tax or other financial planning reasons. In addition, the timing of holidays and vacations, particularly throughout Europe, may shift demand across quarters. Sales for the industry and the Company are generally strongest in the second and fourth quarters and weaker in the first and third quarters, due to the effects of the items noted above. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for any fiscal quarter will not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for other quarters or a full fiscal year.
