Reports Record Second Quarter 2006 Sales and Earnings
York, PA - July 26, 2006 -- DENTSPLY International Inc. (NASDAQ-XRAY) today
announced sales and earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net sales
increased 6.2% to $472.4 million compared to $444.8 million reported for the
second quarter of 2005. Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased
5.8% in the second quarter of 2006. Sales growth improved in the U.S. and also
within the broader consumable products category.
Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $59.3 million, or $0.37 per
diluted share, an increase of 5.7% in diluted earnings per share compared to net
income of $57.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share in the second quarter of
2005. Net income in the second quarter of 2006 includes the net of tax impact of
both expensing stock options of $2.9 million, ($0.02 per diluted share), and of
restructuring costs of $1.6 million, ($0.01 per diluted share). The second
quarter of 2006 includes a net charge to income tax expense of $0.8 million
($0.01 per diluted share) from tax related adjustments, while the second quarter
of 2005 included a net reduction of income tax expense of $1.8 million ($0.01
per diluted share) related to the settlement of audits of tax returns associated
with prior periods. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to
reflect the stock split.
On an adjusted basis, earnings, excluding restructuring costs and tax
adjustments, but including the expensing of stock options in both periods, which
constitutes a non-GAAP measure, were $61.7 million or $0.39 per diluted share in
the second quarter of 2006, compared to $53.1 million or $0.33 per diluted share
in the second quarter of 2005. This represents an 18.2% increase in diluted
earnings per share. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to earnings
per share calculated according to GAAP, see the attached table.
Gary Kunkle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented that, "We are very
pleased with the continued strength of our global business. DENTSPLY's breadth
and depth of products, combined with our global footprint provide further
opportunities to build and strengthen our business. Improvements in our
operational performance provide us with the ability to further strengthen sales,
marketing, and research and development activities."
Mr. Kunkle also stated, "Our solid performance, in the first half of the year,
provides us additional confidence in the prospects for the full year. We expect
to increase our internal investment in growth initiatives over the next few
quarters; however we are also increasing the top-end of our year-end 2006
earnings guidance to $1.40-1.44 per dilutive share, including the expensing of
stock options, but excluding restructuring charges and tax adjustments."
