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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

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 revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

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 reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect to adopt this ASU before the required effective date. This ASU contains new disclosure requirements and will not impact results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),” which amends certain aspects of ASC 350-40 related to the accounting and disclosure of internally developed software costs. This amendment is intended to provide further guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met to capitalize costs for internal-use software. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is not party to any arrangements that fall within the scope of this ASU. Accordingly, adoption of the ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures at this time. The Company will continue to monitor its arrangements for applicability of the ASU in future periods.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815. The amendments are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period after the ASU’s issuance. Entities should apply the guidance prospectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is not party to any arrangements that fall within the scope of this ASU. Accordingly, adoption of the ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures at this time. The Company will continue to monitor its arrangements for applicability of the ASU in future periods.

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 consumable products 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 stronger 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.
