NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 ------------------ The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements conform with the requirements for interim financial statements and consequently do not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. Disclosures are updated where appropriate. NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------------------- Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The interim consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of DENTSPLY International Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. Minority interests in net income of consolidated subsidiaries is not material and is included in other (income) expense, net. Certain items in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 classification. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996, the cost of $10.6 million or 8% and $9.2 million or 7%, respectively, of inventories was determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The cost of other inventories was determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method. Property, Plant and Equipment - ----------------------------- Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Except for leasehold improvements, depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings - generally 40 years; and machinery and equipment - 8 to 15 years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease. For income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using various methods. Earnings per Common Share - ------------------------- Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents (options and warrants) had no material effect on the earnings per common share computation. All shares held by the DENTSPLY Employee Stock Ownership Plan are considered outstanding and are included in the earnings per common share computation. 8 NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS - ------------------------------ In August 1996, the Company paid $5 million for a 51% interest in CeraMed Dental, LLC ("CeraMed") and the right to acquire the remaining 49% interest at a later date. CeraMed, located in Lakewood, Colorado, is the leading supplier of bone grafting materials and HA plasma-feed coating materials to dental markets. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of CeraMed's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of $5 million plus direct acquisition costs has been allocated on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired. The excess ($.9 million) of acquisition cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years. Pro forma information has been omitted due to immateriality. In January 1996, the Company purchased certain assets of Tulsa Dental Products L.L.C. ("Tulsa") in a cash transaction valued at $75.1 million. Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa is a manufacturer and distributor of principally endodontic instruments and materials. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Tulsa's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of $75.1 million plus direct acquisition costs has been allocated on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess ($53.7 million) of acquisition cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of Tulsa occurred on January 1, 1995: Nine Months Ended September 30, ------------------------------ 1995 1996 -------- -------- (in thousands, except per share data) Net sales $424,596 $476,266 Net income 34,281 46,899 Earnings per common share 1.27 1.74 The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained had the operations been combined during the periods presented. In June 1995, the Company purchased approximately 96% of the outstanding Capital Stock of Maillefer Instruments S.A. (Maillefer) from Maillefer stockholders for 11,000 SFR per share in a cash transaction valued at approximately $65.8 million. An additional 3.9% of Maillefer stock was purchased in June 1996 for 10,375 SFR per share, or approximately $2.3 million. Based in Switzerland, Maillefer is a manufacturer and distributor principally of endodontic instruments. 9 The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Maillefer's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of $68.1 million plus direct acquisition costs has been allocated on the basis of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by approximately $16.7 million, the values otherwise assignable to noncurrent assets acquired have been reduced by a proportionate part of the excess. In March 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of KV33 Corporation ("KV33") in a cash transaction valued at $11.5 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of KV33's operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The excess ($10.2 million) of acquisition cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years. NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES - -------------------- Inventories consist of the following: December 31, September 30, 1995 1996 ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Finished goods $ 70,677 $ 77,428 Work-in-process 26,440 25,988 Raw materials and supplies 28,587 28,368 -------- -------- $125,704 $131,784 ======== ======== Pre-tax income was $.5 million and $.2 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively as a result of using the LIFO method compared to the FIFO method. If the FIFO method had been used to determine the cost of the LIFO inventories, the amounts at which net inventory is stated would be lower than reported at December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996 by $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively. 10 NOTE 4 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - -------------------------------------- Property, plant and equipment consist of the following: December 31, September 30, 1995 1996 ------------ ------------ Assets, at cost: (in thousands) Land $ 17,395 $ 17,128 Buildings and improvements 67,903 69,206 Machinery and equipment 88,417 96,104 Construction in progress 9,039 11,647 -------- -------- 182,754 194,085 Less: Accumulated depreciation 42,653 53,897 -------- -------- $140,101 $140,188 ======== ======== NOTE 5 - SPECIAL CHARGES - ------------------------ During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company recorded special charges which materially impacted the comparison with other periods. These special charges, on a pre-tax basis, included the following (in thousands): Costs associated with consolidation of all executive functions in York, Pennsylvania $2,460 Loss on sale of corporate aircraft 626 ------ $3,086 ====== The impact of these expenses on earnings per share was $.07 per share in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. NOTE 6 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - -------------------------------- On October 13, 1994, the Company announced its strategic decision to discontinue the operations comprising its medical business. The medical operations include Eureka X-Ray Tube Corp. (Eureka), GENDEX Medical and CMW business units which manufacture medical x-ray tubes, medical x-ray systems and orthopedic bone cement, respectively. The net assets of CMW and substantially all of the net assets of Eureka were sold in the fourth quarter of 1994. Substantially all of the remaining assets comprising the medical business were sold in the first quarter of 1996 for $7.5 million. Sales from these operations were $4.9 million and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 were $14.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively. 11 The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets are as follows: December 31, 1995 ------------ (in thousands) Accounts and notes receivable-trade, net $ 2,105 Inventories 6,550 Deferred income taxes 4,611 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 174 Property, plant and equipment, net 2,644 Other noncurrent assets, net 2,331 Cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired, net 3,348 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (10,149) Other liabilities (5,744) -------- $ 5,870 ======== NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT - ----------------------------------------- The increases from December 31, 1995 in Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt ($11.0 million) and Long-term debt ($27.3 million) were primarily due to utilization of the Company's credit facilities for the purchase of certain assets of Tulsa for $75.1 million. 12 DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Quarter Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1995 In the quarter ended September 30, 1996, net sales increased $18.0 million, or 13.1%, to $155.3 million from $137.3 million in the same period of 1995. The Company had strong sales gains in North America, Europe and Latin America versus the prior year quarter. Gross profit increased $11.6 million, or 18.4%, to $74.5 million from $62.9 million in the third quarter of 1995 as a result of higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 45.8% in the third quarter of 1995 to 47.9% in the same period of 1996. This resulted from the overall high volume and a favorable mix of higher margin products in Europe and the Pacific Rim. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million, or 9.2%. As a percentage of net sales, expenses decreased from 33.2% in the third quarter of 1995 to 32.0% for the same period of 1996. This resulted from improvement at operations in North America and Latin America. Income before income taxes increased $6.7 million, or 42.5%, while net income increased $4.4 million, or 46.4% from the third quarter of 1995. Earnings per common share increased from $.35 in 1995 to $.52 in 1996, or 48.6%. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net sales increased $66.0 million, or 16.1%, to $476.3 million from $410.3 million in the same period of 1995. The increase primarily came from acquisitions and strong base business sales growth in the Pacific Rim, Latin America, and CIS. Gross profit increased $33.5 million, or 16.8%, to $233.0 million from $199.5 million in the first nine months of 1995 as a result of higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased slightly from 48.6% in the first nine months of 1995 to 48.9% for the same period of 1996. Improvements in the gross profit percentage due to favorable product mix during the first nine months of 1996 were partially offset by the adverse impact of acquisition accounting for Maillefer, Tulsa, and CeraMed. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.9 million, or 13.5%. As a percentage of net sales, expenses decreased from 32.3% in the first nine months of 1995 to 31.5% for the same period of 1996. This improvement came from operations in Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. Interest expense increased $1.9 million to $8.5 million for the first nine months of 1996, compared to $6.6 million for the first nine months of 1995. The increase is primarily due to acquisition debt, partially offset by cash generated from operations. 13 Other income was $1.8 million for the first nine months of 1996 compared to other expense of $2.2 million for the same period in 1995. Other income in 1996 is primarily due to a legal settlement of $1.2 million in the Company's favor in the first quarter of 1996, while the Company took a one-time charge of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 1995 to cover the costs of closing down its Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating its executive operations in York, Pennsylvania. This charge on an after tax basis was $1.8 million or $.07 per common share. Income before income taxes increased $17.8 million, or 30.0% while net income increased $10.9 million, or 30.7%, from the first nine months of 1995. Excluding the one-time charge in the second quarter of 1995 for closing down the Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating its executive operations in York, Pennsylvania, income before income taxes increased $14.7 million, or 23.5%, while net income increased $9.1 million or 24.3%. Earnings per common share increased from $1.32 in 1995 to $1.73 in 1996, or 31.1%. Excluding the one-time charge in the second quarter of 1995 for closing down the Executive Offices in Illinois and consolidating its executive operations in York, Pennsylvania, earnings per common share increased $.34, or 24.5%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In January 1996, the Company acquired the dental manufacturing and distribution operations of Tulsa for $75.1 million in cash and an earn-out based on the operating performance of the acquired business. The transaction was funded from the Company's existing $175.0 million Bank Revolving Loan Facility and short-term bank borrowings. Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 include capital expenditures of $13.2 million. The Company's current ratio was 1.9 with working capital of $121.5 million at September 30, 1996. This compares with a current ratio of 2.0 and working capital of $122.7 million at December 31, 1995, excluding the net assets of discontinued operations. The Company expects to be able to finance cash requirements, including capital expenditures, stock repurchases and debt service from the funds generated from operations and amounts available under the existing Revolving Loan Facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash flows from operating activities were $59.2 million compared to $34.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase of $24.4 million results from higher sales and gross margins in 1996, while cash flows in 1995 were adversely impacted by income tax payments on the gain from disposal of the medical business in 1994 and a larger increase in inventories than in 1996. IMPACT OF INFLATION The Company has generally offset the impact of inflation on wages and the cost of purchased materials by improving operating efficiencies and increasing selling prices to the extent permitted by market conditions. 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to lawsuits arising out of their respective operations. The Company believes that pending litigation to which it is a party will not have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
