The impact of COVID-19 and the Company's response

The impact to the Company's net sales and net income during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were as follows:



•As previously announced, in the early part of the first quarter, the Company
started to experience declines in customer demand in Asia as a result of the
effects of COVID-19. As COVID-19 spread to other geographies during the first
quarter, the Company experienced effects on customer demand in those regions as
well. In early March, the Company experienced declines in demand in the European
region, followed by North and South America in the second half of March. These
decreases in demand were primarily driven by the government actions taken to
limit the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, end-user demand was affected by
guidance from professional dental associations recommending practitioners only
perform emergency procedures.
•The Company continued to see lower levels of customer demand on a global basis
as a result of government authorities extending actions taken in response to
COVID-19. The Company experienced the lowest sales levels in April and began to
see an increase in sales during May and June as most stay-at-home orders were
lifted and dental practices started to re-open particularly in the United
States, Europe and certain Asian countries within the Rest of World region.
•While government authorities have lifted many of these restrictions, the end
dates for all restrictions being lifted are still unknown. It is also uncertain
when customer demand will return to pre-COVID-19 levels upon lifting these
restrictions.
                                       36
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•The demand for the Company's products has been, and continues to be, affected
by social distancing guidelines, newly implemented dental practice safety
protocols which reduces patient traffic, and patient reluctance to seek dental
care. At this time, it is uncertain how long these impacts will continue.

The Company's response to the pandemic through June 30, 2020 was as follows:



•A COVID-19 infection crisis management process was implemented by the Company
to have a unified approach to responding to employees infected by COVID-19. All
potential and actual cases across the Company were reviewed to ensure that the
Company managed exposed employees appropriately, consistently and safely. No
major outbreaks have occurred at any of the Company's locations.
•The Company put in place a travel ban, implemented a work from home policy
where possible and prohibited all meetings of more than 10 people. These
measures were taken to limit employee exposure to COVID-19 as well as comply
with stay-at-home and social distancing guidelines.
•A customer service support continuity plan was implemented to meet customer
needs. Technical support was maintained to assist the Company's customers during
this period while still ensuring employees' safety.
•The Company remained focused on maintaining a high level of customer support
through robust virtual training and development courses.
•The Company suspended or significantly reduced operations at most of its
principal manufacturing and distribution locations, which included furloughing
employees related to these locations. While the operations were suspended or
significantly reduced, the Company continued to fulfill customer demand. The
Company also continued sales and manufacturing operations at normal levels
within the Healthcare business.
•The Company reduced spending on sales, marketing, and other related expenses
due to the decrease in customer demand. Additionally, the Company instituted a
global hiring freeze, a reduction in temporary employees and consultants as well
as curtailed or stopped all projects that are not critical to the continuity of
the business. Despite these reductions, the Company maintained investment in
critical capital and research and development projects as well as global
efficiency and cost savings initiatives.
•During April, the Company announced additional furloughs or the reduction of
working hours for employees throughout its organization. The total number of
employees impacted by these measures represented approximately 52% of the
workforce. The furloughs remained in place throughout the second quarter.
•For the safety of all employees and customers, the Company established
additional protocols as well as following all mandated regulatory requirements
imposed by the country, the state and the local jurisdictions in which the
Company operates.
•The Company implemented salary reductions of up to 25% for most employees of
the Company who were not furloughed during the second quarter where allowed by
law, including members of management. These reductions were in place for 90
days. The CEO relinquished all but the portion of his base salary necessary to
fund, on an after-tax basis, his contributions to continue to participate in the
Company's health benefits plan and meet certain other legal requirements. In
addition, each member of the Board of Directors agreed to waive one quarter of
his or her annual cash retainer for 2020.
•Many governments across the world instituted programs to reimburse business
entities for a portion of employee compensation expense for employees that are
furloughed or that are working reduced hours. The Company applied for and has
received relief under these programs as well as certain other programs
instituted by governments to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19.
•In an effort to preserve liquidity, the Company took action related to
deferring the payment of income and payroll tax related liabilities where
governments have allowed such deferrals. Additionally, the Company implemented
cost containment measures to ensure the preservation of cash.
•Further, out of an abundance of caution in order to support its liquidity, the
Company entered into and announced on April 9, 2020, a $310.0 million revolving
credit facility, on May 5, 2020 entered into a 40.0 million euro revolving
credit facility, on May 26, 2020 issued $750.0 million of senior unsecured
notes, on May 12, 2020 entered into a 30.0 million euro revolving credit
facility, and on June 11, 2020 entered into a 3.3 billion Japanese yen revolving
credit facility. These liquidity measures are in addition to the Company's
$700.0 million revolving credit facility disclosed in its Form 10-K for December
31, 2019 filed on March 2, 2020.
                                       37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•The Company elected to drawdown the full amount of the $700.0 million revolving
credit facility to provide additional liquidity and financial flexibility in
light of current economic conditions and uncertainties arising in connection
with the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon the issuance of the $750.0 million of senior
unsecured notes, the Company subsequently repaid the $700.0 million revolving
credit facility.

In addition to continuing the above measures, subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's additional actions were as follows:



•The Company continues to prioritize employee safety and preventing the possible
spread of COVID-19 by encouraging ongoing work-from-home where possible and
maintaining travel restrictions.
•The Company continues to take measures to contain costs in light of lower sales
levels. The Company is also taking actions to accelerate the cost improvement
initiatives included in the previously announced restructuring plan.

Up through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company continues to
operate its principal manufacturing facilities and other operations at a reduced
capacity with the exception of its Healthcare business which is operating at
normal capacity. While at a reduced level, the Company is still selling all
products in its portfolio. The Company cannot estimate when its net sales will
return to pre-COVID-19 levels or when manufacturing facilities and other
operations will resume operating at a normal capacity. The Company continues to
monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. As governmental authorities adjust restrictions
globally, the Company will appropriately staff sales, manufacturing, and other
functions to meet customer demand and deliver on continuing critical projects
while also complying with all government requirements.

Restructuring Announcement



In November 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to
restructure and simplify the Company's business. The goal of the restructuring
is to drive annualized net sales growth of 3% to 4% and adjusted operating
income margins of 22% by the end of 2022 as well as achieve net annual cost
savings of $200 million to $225 million by 2021. In July 2020, the Board of
Directors of the Company approved an expansion of this plan that further
optimizes the Company's product portfolio and reduces operating expenses. The
product portfolio optimization will result in the divestiture or closure of
certain underperforming businesses. The operating expense reductions will come
as a result of additional leverage from continued integration and simplification
of the business. The Company had initially anticipated one-time expenditures and
charges of approximately $275 million yielding annual cost savings of $200
million to $225 million by 2021. The program expansion will result in total
charges of approximately $375 million and is expected to result in annual cost
savings of approximately $250 million. The Company expects that these expanded
actions will result in incremental global headcount reductions of 6% to 7% in
addition to the original projections of 6% to 8%. Since November 2018, the
Company has incurred expenditures of approximately $225 million under this
program, of which, approximately $75 million were non-cash charges.

As part of this expanded plan, the Company announced on August 6, 2020 that it
will close its traditional orthodontics business as well as close and
restructure certain portions of its laboratory business. The traditional
orthodontics business is part of the Technologies & Equipment segment and the
laboratory business is part of the Consumables segment. The Company intends to
close several of its facilities and reduce its workforce by approximately 4% to
5%. The Company expects to record restructuring charges in a range of $80
million to $90 million for inventory write-downs, severance costs, fixed asset
write-offs and other facility closure costs. It is expected that the majority of
these charges will be taken during the remainder of 2020. The Company estimates
that $45 million to $55 million of the restructuring charges will be non-cash
charges related to inventory write-downs and fixed asset write-offs. The Company
does not expect a significant impact to net sales in the third and fourth
quarter of 2020. Both businesses have been experiencing negative sales growth
and are dilutive to the Company's operating income rate.

The Company's traditional orthodontics business, which includes brackets, bands,
tubes and wires, had net sales of $132 million in 2019. The portion of the
laboratory business the Company is closing manufactures removable dentures and
related products and had net sales of $44 million in 2019. The net income of
these businesses is not material to the Company's consolidated results.

                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business Drivers



The primary drivers of sales growth include macroeconomic factors, global dental
market demand, innovation and new product launches by the Company, as well as
continued investments in sales and marketing resources, including clinical
education. Management believes that the Company's ability to execute its
strategies should allow it to grow faster than the underlying dental market over
time. On a short-term basis, sudden changes in the macroeconomic environment
such as COVID-19, changes in strategy, or distributor inventory levels can and
have impacted the Company's sales.

The Company has a focus on maximizing operational efficiencies on a global
basis. The Company has expanded the use of technology as well as process
improvement initiatives to enhance global efficiency. In addition, management
continues to evaluate the worldwide consolidation of operations and functions to
further reduce costs. While the Company continues consolidation initiatives
which can have an adverse impact on reported results in the short-term, the
Company expects that the continued benefits from these global efficiency efforts
will improve its cost structure over time.

Product innovation is a key component of the Company's overall growth strategy.
New advances in technology are anticipated to have a significant influence on
future products in the dentistry and consumable medical device markets in which
the Company operates. As a result, the Company continues to pursue research and
development initiatives to support technological development, including
collaborations with various research institutions and dental schools. In
addition, the Company licenses and purchases technologies developed by third
parties. Although the Company believes these activities will lead to new
innovative dental and healthcare products, they involve new technologies and
there can be no assurance that marketable products will be developed.

Subject to the pace of the post-pandemic recovery, the Company intends to
continue pursuing opportunities to expand the Company's product offerings,
technologies, and sales and service infrastructure through partnerships and
acquisitions. Although the professional dental and the consumable medical device
markets in which the Company operates have experienced consolidation, they
remain fragmented. Management believes that there will continue to be adequate
opportunities to participate as a consolidator in the industry for the
foreseeable future.

The Company's business is subject to quarterly fluctuations of consolidated net
sales and net income. Price increases, promotional activities, as well as
changes in inventory levels at distributors contribute to this fluctuation. The
Company typically implements most of its price increases in January or October
of a given year across most of its businesses. Distributor inventory levels tend
to increase in the period leading up to a price increase and decline in the
period following the implementation of a price increase. Required minimum
purchase commitments under agreements with key distributors may increase
inventory levels in excess of retail demand. These net inventory changes have
impacted the Company's consolidated net sales and net income in the past, and
may continue to do so in the future, over a given period or multiple periods. In
addition, the Company may from time to time, engage in new distributor
relationships that could cause fluctuations of consolidated net sales and net
income. Distributor inventory levels may fluctuate, and may differ from the
Company's predictions, resulting in the Company's projections of future results
being different than expected. There can be no assurance that the Company's
dealers and customers will maintain levels of inventory in accordance with the
Company's predictions or past history, or that the timing of customers'
inventory build or liquidation will be in accordance with the Company's
predictions or past history. The Company anticipates that inventory levels will
fluctuate as dealers and customers manage the effects of COVID-19 on their
businesses. Any of these fluctuations could be material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impact of Foreign Currencies



Due to the Company's significant international presence, movements in foreign
currency exchange may impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations. With
approximately two-thirds of the Company's net sales located outside the United
States, the Company's consolidated net sales are impacted negatively by the
strengthening or positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar.
Additionally, movements in certain foreign exchange rates may unfavorably or
favorably impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and
liquidity as a number of the Company's manufacturing and distribution operations
are located outside of the U.S.

Net Sales

The Company presents reported net sales comparing the current year periods to the prior year periods. In addition, the Company also compares reported net sales on an organic sales basis, which is a Non-GAAP measure.



The Company defines "organic sales" as the increase or decrease in net sales
excluding: (1) net sales from acquired and divested businesses recorded prior to
the first anniversary of the acquisition or divestiture, (2) net sales
attributable to discontinued product lines in both the current and prior year
periods, and (3) the impact of foreign currency translation, which is calculated
by comparing current-period sales to prior-period sales, with both periods
converted to the U.S. dollar rate at local currency foreign exchange rates for
each month of the prior period.

The "organic sales" measure is not calculated in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"); therefore, this
item represents a Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP measure may differ from those
used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US
GAAP. Organic sales is an important internal measure for the Company. The
Company's senior management receives a monthly analysis of operating results
that includes organic sales. The performance of the Company is measured on this
metric along with other performance metrics.

The Company discloses organic sales to allow investors to evaluate the
performance of the Company's operations exclusive of certain items that impact
the comparability of results from period to period and may not be indicative of
past or future performance of the normal operations of the Company. The Company
believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying net sales
trends.

(in millions, except percentages)         2020           2019         $ Change       % Change

Net sales                              $ 490.6       $ 1,009.4       $ (518.8)       (51.4  %)



Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $490.6 million, a
decrease of $518.8 million or 51.4% from the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The decrease in net sales was driven by both the Consumables segment and the
Technologies & Equipment segment which were impacted by reduced demand for
dental related procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales were
negatively impacted by approximately 1.0% due to the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar as compared to the same prior year period. This decrease included the
negative impact of 0.4% from divestitures of non-strategic businesses and a 0.1%
reduction due to discontinued products.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased 49.9% on an organic sales basis. The decline in organic sales was attributable to both the Consumables segment and the Technologies & Equipment segment which was the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.



During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company experienced the lowest
sales levels in April and began to see an increase in sales during May and June
as most stay-at-home orders were lifted and dental practices started to re-open
particularly in the United States and Europe.

The ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on 2020 results is still unknown at
this time and will depend heavily on the substance and pace of the post-pandemic
recovery. However, at this time the Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic
will continue to have a negative material impact on 2020 net sales.

decrease of $198.6 million or 60.3% from the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Both the Consumables segment and the Technologies & Equipment segment saw a
decline in net sales which was the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease
also included a 0.3% reduction from divestitures of non-strategic businesses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased by 60.0% on an
organic sales basis. The decline in organic sales was attributable to both the
Consumables segment and the Technologies & Equipment segment which was the
result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both the Technologies & Equipment segment and the Consumables segment saw a
decline in net sales which was the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The three
months ended June 30, 2020 was negatively impacted by approximately 1.1% due to
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the same prior year period.
The decrease included reductions of 0.9% from divestitures of non-strategic
businesses and 0.1% due to discontinued products.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased by 46.9% on

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales           35.9  %       53.6  %




For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the decrease in the gross profit rate
was driven by the decline in net sales and the resulting unfavorable
manufacturing variances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to the same
period ended June 30, 2019.

For the remainder of 2020, the Company believes the gross profit rate will be
unfavorably impacted as a result of lower net sales and manufacturing facilities
operating at reduced volume until market demand returns to normal levels.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses



For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Selling, general, and administrative
expenses ("SG&A"), including research and development expenses, as a percentage
of net sales had a higher rate driven by lower sales which more than offsets the
cost reduction measures implemented by the Company in response to COVID-19.

For the remainder of 2020, the Company believes SG&A expenses will be lower than
2019, primarily due to the cost reduction measures including COVID-19 related
actions. The cost reduction measures include, but are not limited to the
reduction of the following expense categories: marketing and promotion expenses,
travel and meeting expenses, salary expenses, and professional services. The
Company expects to continue these measures until sales start to return to a more
normal level.

Restructuring and Other Costs

The Company recorded restructuring and other costs of $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $42.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2019.

The Company recorded $2.2 million of restructuring costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.



During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a benefit of
$0.9 million of other costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the
Company recorded $31.7 million of other costs, which consist primarily of fixed
asset impairments.

The Company announced on August 6, 2020 that it will close its traditional
orthodontics business as well as close and restructure certain portions of its
laboratory business. The traditional orthodontics business is part of the
Technologies & Equipment segment and the laboratory business is part of the
Consumables segment. The Company intends to close several of its facilities and
reduce it's workforce by approximately 4% to 5%. The Company expects to record
restructuring charges in a range of $80 million to $90 million for inventory
write-downs, severance costs, fixed asset write-offs and other facility closure
costs. It is expected that the majority of these charges will be taken during
the remainder of 2020. The Company estimates that $45 million to $55 million of
the restructuring charges will be non-cash charges related to inventory
write-downs and fixed asset write-offs The Company does not expect a significant
impact to net sales in the third and fourth quarter of 2020. Both businesses
have been experiencing negative sales growth and are dilutive to the Company's
operating income rate.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.5
million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Higher average debt
levels in 2020 was the primary driver when compared to the prior year period
resulting in higher net interest expense.

On April 17, 2020 the Company drew down $700.0 million under its 2018 revolving
credit facility. On May 26, 2020, the Company issued $750.0 million of senior
unsecured notes with a final maturity date of June 1, 2030 at a semi-annual
coupon of 3.25%. The net proceeds were $748.4 million, net of discount of $1.6
million. Issuance fees totaled $6.4 million. The Company paid $30.5 million to
settle its $150.0 million notional T-Lock contract which partially hedged the
interest rate risk of the note issuance. The Company repaid the $700.0 million
revolver borrowing on May 26, 2020 from the net proceeds of the note issuance.

As a result of the additional financing, the Company's interest expense will increase throughout the remainder of 2020. See Part I, Item 1, Note 11, Financing Arrangements, in the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further details.

Other Expense (Income), Net



Other expense (income), net for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was expense
of $4.3 million. Other expense (income), net for the three months ended June 30,
2019 was expense of $12.1 million.

On April 7, 2020, the Company terminated its entire net investment hedge portfolio. As a result, the Company expects other income related to this hedge portfolio will decline throughout the remainder of 2020.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,364.9 million, a
decrease of $590.7 million or 30.2% from the six months ended June 30, 2019. The
decrease in net sales was attributable to both the Consumables segment and the
Technologies & Equipment segment which were impacted by reduced demand for
dental related procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset
by new product sales. Net sales were negatively impacted by approximately 1.4%
due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the same prior year
period. This decrease included the negative impact of 0.9% from divestitures of
non-strategic businesses and a 0.1% reduction due to discontinued products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased 27.8% on an organic sales basis. The decrease in organic sales was attributable to both the Consumables segment and the Technologies & Equipment segment which was the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.



During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company saw normal sales levels
for the months of January and February and started to experience a decline in
sales volume during March which continued to its lowest levels in April as
certain countries in Asia and Europe began to issue stay-at-home and social
distancing guidelines which were quickly adopted in the United States as well.
The Company then began to see an increase in sales during May and June as most
stay-at-home orders were lifted and dental practices started to re-open
particularly in the United States and Europe.

The ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on 2020 results is still unknown at
this time and will depend heavily on the substance and pace of the post-pandemic
recovery. However, at this time the Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic
will continue to have a negative material impact to 2020 net sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the decrease in the gross profit rate
was primarily driven by the decline in net sales and the resulting unfavorable
manufacturing variances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2019.

For the remainder of 2020, the Company believes the gross profit rate will be unfavorably impacted as a result of manufacturing facilities operating at reduced volume until market demand returns to normal levels.

SG&A Expenses



SG&A expenses, including research and development expenses, as a percentage of
net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 516 basis points as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the higher rate was primarily driven by
lower sales which more than offsets the cost reduction measures implemented by
the Company in response to COVID-19.

For the remainder of 2020, the Company believes SG&A expenses will be lower than
2019, primarily due to the cost reduction measures including COVID-19 related
actions. The cost reduction measures include, but are not limited to the
reduction of the following expense categories: marketing and promotion expenses,
travel and meeting expenses, salary expenses, and professional services. The
Company expects to continue these measures until sales start to return to a more
normal level.

Goodwill impairment

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $156.6 million. The impairment charge is related to the
Equipment & Instruments reporting unit within the Technologies & Equipment
segment recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020. For further details
see Part 1, Item 1, Note 12, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in the Notes to
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $39.3 million of
other costs, which consist primarily of impairment charges of $38.7 million
related to indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the three months ended
March 31, 2020. For further details see Part 1, Item 1, Note 12, Goodwill and
Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
of this Form 10-Q. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company
recorded $38.0 million of other costs, which consisted primarily of fixed asset
impairments of $32.8 million and an impairment charges of $5.3 million related
to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The Company announced on August 6, 2020 that it will close its traditional
orthodontics business as well as close and restructure certain portions of its
laboratory business. The traditional orthodontics business is part of the
Technologies & Equipment segment and the laboratory business is part of the
Consumables segment. The Company intends to close several of its facilities and
reduce its workforce by approximately 4% to 5%. The Company expects to record
restructuring charges in a range of $80 million to $90 million for inventory
write-downs, severance costs, fixed asset write-offs and other facility closure
costs. It is expected that the majority of these charges will be taken during
the remainder of 2020. The Company estimates that $45 million to $55 million of
the restructuring charges will be non-cash charges related to inventory
write-downs and fixed asset write-offs The Company does not expect a significant
impact to net sales in the third and fourth quarter of 2020. Both businesses
have been experiencing negative sales growth and are dilutive to the Company's
operating income rate.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $2.5
million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Higher average debt
levels in 2020 was the primary driver when compared to the prior year period
resulting in higher net interest expense.

On April 17, 2020 the Company drew down $700.0 million under its 2018 revolving
credit facility. On May 26, 2020, the Company issued $750.0 million of senior

coupon of 3.25%. The net proceeds were $748.4 million, net of discount of $1.6
million. Issuance fees totaled $6.4 million. The Company paid $30.5 million to
settle its $150.0 million notional T-Lock contract which partially hedged the
interest rate risk of the note issuance. The Company repaid the $700.0 million
revolver borrowing on May 26, 2020 from the net proceeds of the note issuance.

As a result of the additional financing, the Company's interest expense will increase throughout the remainder of 2020. See Part I, Item 1, Note 11, Financing Arrangements, in the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further details.

The Company is restructuring its business through streamlining of the organization and consolidating functions. Realization of the benefits of these plans could give rise to the release of a valuation allowance that has been established on the Company's deferred tax assets in a future period.

Technologies & Equipment

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $824.2 million, a decrease
of $255.0 million or 23.6% from the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease
in net sales was across all businesses as compared to the same six month period
in the prior year was the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales were
negatively impacted by approximately 1.6% due to the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar over the prior year period. The increase included a 1.6% negative impact
from divestitures of non-strategic businesses and a 0.1% reduction due to
discontinued products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased 20.3% on an organic
sales basis. Organic sales decline was across all regions which was the result
of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key drivers of the decrease in organic sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020, were Equipment & Instruments, Digital Dentistry, and Implants businesses.



Operating income decreased $60.5 or 36.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020
as compared to the same prior year period. The decrease in operating income was
primarily driven by lower sales volume and unfavorable manufacturing variances
due to the impact of COVID-19, partially offset by cost reduction measures in
both gross profit and SG&A.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Except as noted below, there have been no other significant material changes to
the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2019.

Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more
frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell a
business. The valuation date for annual impairment testing is April 30.

The performance of the Company's 2020 annual impairment test did not result in
any impairment of the Company's goodwill. The weighted average cost of capital
("WACC") rates utilized in the 2020 analysis ranged from 9.0% to 11.5%. For the
Company's reporting units that were not impaired at March 31, 2020 (see March
31, 2020 Impairment Testing below), the Company applied a hypothetical
sensitivity analysis. If the WACC rate of these reporting units had been
hypothetically increased by 100 basis points at April 30, 2020, one reporting
unit within the Company's Technologies & Equipment segment, would have a fair
value that would approximate book value. If the fair value of each of these
reporting units had been hypothetically reduced by 10% at April 30, 2020, the
fair value of those reporting units would still exceed net book value. Goodwill
for this reporting unit totals $1.1 billion at June 30, 2020.

If the Company's analysis in the future indicates additional unfavorable impacts
related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in discount rates or a
degradation in the overall markets served by these reporting units, any of which
could have a negative material impact to the fair value and result in a future
impairment of the carrying value of goodwill. There can be no assurance that the
Company's future goodwill impairment testing will not result in a charge to
earnings.

Indefinite-Lived Assets



Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of tradenames and trademarks and are
not subject to amortization; instead, they are tested for impairment annually or
more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to
sell a business. The valuation date for annual impairment testing is April 30.

The performance of the Company's 2020 annual impairment test did not result in
any impairment of the Company's indefinite-lived assets. For the Company's
indefinite-lived intangible assets that were not impaired at March 31, 2020 (see
March 31, 2020 Impairment Testing below), the Company applied a hypothetical
sensitivity analysis. If the fair value of each of these indefinite-lived
intangibles assets had been hypothetically reduced by 10% or the discount rate
had been hypothetically increased by 100 basis points at April 30, 2020, the
fair value of these assets would still exceed their book value.

Should the Company's analysis in the future indicate additional unfavorable
impacts related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in discount rates,
or a degradation in the use of the tradenames and trademarks, any of which could
have a negative material impact to the fair value and result in a future
impairment of the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets.
There can be no assurance that the Company's future indefinite-lived intangible
asset impairment testing will not result in a charge to earnings.

                                       53
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 31, 2020 Impairment Testing

Goodwill



In conjunction with the preparation of the financial statements for the three
months ended March 31, 2020, the Company identified a triggering event, and as a
result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $156.6 million
related to the Equipment & Instruments reporting unit within the Technologies &
Equipment segment. The goodwill impairment charge was primarily driven by a
change in forecasted sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in a
lower fair value for this reporting unit. For further information, see Part I,
Item 1, Note 12, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. The assumptions and
estimates used in determining the fair value of these reporting units contain
uncertainties, and any changes to these assumptions and estimates could have a
negative impact and result in a future impairment.

For the Company's reporting units that were not impaired, the Company applied a
hypothetical sensitivity analysis. If the WACC rate of each of these reporting
units had been hypothetically increased by 100 basis points at March 31, 2020,
one reporting unit, within the Company's Technologies & Equipment segment, would
have a fair value that would approximate net book value. If the fair value of
each of these reporting units had been hypothetically reduced by 5% at March 31,
2020, the fair value of those reporting units would still exceed net book value.
If the fair value of each of these reporting units had been hypothetically
reduced by 10% at March 31, 2020, one reporting unit, as disclosed above, would
have a fair value that would approximate net book value. Goodwill for this
reporting unit totals $1.1 billion at March 31, 2020.

Indefinite-Lived Assets



The Company, in conjunction with the goodwill impairment test, assessed the
indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Equipment & Instruments reporting
unit as of March 31, 2020 which largely consists of acquired tradenames and
trademarks. As a result of the impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible
assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $38.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 which was recorded in Restructuring and other costs
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impaired indefinite-lived
intangibles assets are tradenames and trademarks related to the Equipment &
Instruments reporting unit. The impairment charge was primarily driven by a
decline in forecasted sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For further
information see Part I, Item 1, Note 12, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in the
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. The
assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of the
indefinite-lived intangible assets contain uncertainties, and any changes to
these assumptions and estimates could have a negative impact and result in a
future impairment.

For the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Equipment &
Instruments reporting unit that were not impaired, the Company applied a
hypothetical sensitivity analysis. If the fair value of each of these
indefinite-lived intangibles assets had been hypothetically reduced by 10% or
the discount rate had been hypothetically increased by 50 basis points at March
31, 2020, the fair value of these assets would still exceed their book value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Six months ended June 30, 2020



Net loss of $235.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was a
decrease of $311.4 million as compared to net income of $75.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of reduced demand for
dental related procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cash provided by
operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $164.4
million, a decrease of $10.0 million as compared to $174.4 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2019 which was driven by a reduction in working
capital in the current period, primarily related to a decrease in accounts
receivables and to a lesser extent, a reduction in inventory. The Company's cash
and cash equivalents increased by $704.2 million to $1,109.1 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, on a constant currency basis, the number
of days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable increased by 26 days to 88
days as compared to 62 days at December 31, 2019. The increase in days of sales
outstanding in accounts receivable was primarily due to lower sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended December
31, 2019 as the COVID-19 pandemic decreased dental products demand in the months
of March through June. On a constant currency basis, the number of days of sales
in inventory increased by 16 days to 132 days at June 30, 2020 as compared to
116 days at December 31, 2019. Inventory days increased primarily due to the
lower sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020, slightly offset by the
decrease in inventory as compared to December 31, 2019. The Company calculates
"constant currency basis" by removing the impact of foreign currency
translation, which is calculated by comparing current-period sales, accounts
receivables, and inventory to prior-period sales, accounts receivable, and
inventory, with both periods converted to the U.S. dollar rate at local currency
foreign exchange rates for each month of the prior period.

Cash provided from investing activities during the first six months of 2020 included capital expenditures of $38.8 million and cash proceeds from net investment hedges of $57.5 million. The Company expects critical capital expenditures to be in the range of approximately $75 million to $100 million for the full year 2020.



On April 7, 2020, the Company terminated its entire net investment hedge
portfolio early which resulted in a $48.1 million cash receipt in the second
quarter of 2020. The Company elected to enter into this transaction to convert
the favorable gain position into additional liquidity.

Cash generated by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020
was primarily related to net proceeds on long-term borrowings of $741.2 million,
less payment on a T-Lock of $30.5 million, dividend payments of $44.0 million,
and share repurchases of $140.0 million.

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase
Transaction ("ASR Agreement") for $140.0 million. Under the ASR Agreement, the
Company received 80% of the then estimated total shares up-front or 2.7 million
shares at the then current price of $42.12. The Company received an additional
1.0 million shares after the trading window closed on May 8, 2020. The final
amount repurchased is 3.7 million shares at a volume-weighted average price of
$38.25 inclusive of a $0.63 per share discount. At June 30, 2020, the Company
held 46.1 million shares of treasury stock. The Company received proceeds of
$5.4 million as a result of the exercise of 0.1 million of stock options during
the six months ended June 30, 2020. Including prior year repurchases, the total
amount repurchased under this authorization is $650.2 million leaving $349.8
million available to be repurchased. Additional share repurchases, if any, will
be made through open market purchases, Rule 10b5-1 plans, accelerated share
repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions in such
amounts and at such times as the Company deems appropriate based upon prevailing
market and business conditions and other factors.

The Company's total borrowings increased by a net $747.6 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2020, which includes an increase of $7.9 million due to
exchange rate fluctuations on debt denominated in foreign currencies. At
June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company's ratio of total net debt to
total capitalization was 18.8% and 16.8%, respectively. The Company defines net
debt as total debt, including current and long-term portions, less cash and cash
equivalents and total capitalization as the sum of net debt plus equity.

                                       55
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 2020, the Company had borrowings available under lines of credit,
including lines available under its short-term arrangements and revolving credit
facility of $1,156.1 million. Through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q,
the Company has no outstanding borrowings under any of its credit facilities.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the Company took the following actions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to strengthen its liquidity and financial flexibility:



•On April 9, 2020, the Company entered into a $310.0 million 364-day revolving
credit facility with a maturity date of April 8, 2021. The 364-day revolving
credit facility mirrors the original five-year facility in all major respects,
is unsecured and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants relating to
the operations and financial condition of the Company.

•On April 17, 2020, the Company provided a notice to the administrative agent to
draw down the full available amount under the 2018 revolving credit facility,
which is equal to $700.0 million. The Company had previously not drawn down any
sums under this facility. The borrowings incurred interest at the rate of
adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25%. The Company subsequently repaid the $700.0 million
revolver borrowing on May 26, 2020. Under its multi-currency revolving credit
agreement, the Company is able to borrow up to $700.0 million through July 28,
2024.

•On May 26, 2020, the Company issued $750.0 million of 3.25% senior unsecured
notes with a final maturity date of June 1, 2030. The net proceeds were
$748.4 million, net of discount of $1.6 million. Issuance fees totaled
$6.4 million. The Company paid $30.5 million to settle the $150.0 million
notional T-Lock contract which partially hedged the interest rate risk of the
note issuance. This cost will be amortized over the ten-year life of the notes.
The proceeds were used to repay the $700.0 million revolver borrowing and the
remaining proceeds will be used for working capital and other general corporate
purposes.

•Various other credit facilities:



•On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into a 40.0 million euro 364-day revolving
credit facility with a maturity date of April 30, 2021.
•On May 12, 2020 the Company entered into a 30.0 million euro 364-day revolving
credit facility with a maturity date of May 6, 2021.
•On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into a 3.3 billion Japanese yen 364-day
revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 11, 2021.

These agreements are unsecured and contain certain affirmative and negative covenants relating to the operations and financial condition of the Company.



The Company also has access to $35.4 million in uncommitted short-term financing
under lines of credit from various financial institutions. The lines of credit
have no major restrictions and are provided under demand notes between the
Company and the lending institutions. At June 30, 2020, the Company had $0.1
million outstanding under these short-term lines of credit.

The Company also has available an aggregate $500.0 million under a U.S. dollar
commercial paper program. The $700.0 million revolver serves as a back-up to the
commercial paper program, thus the total available credit under the commercial
paper program and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities in the
aggregate is $700.0 million. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were
no outstanding borrowings under these facilities. The Company had no outstanding
borrowings under the commercial paper program at June 30, 2020.

These agreements are unsecured and contain certain affirmative and negative
covenants relating to the operations and financial condition of the Company.The
most restrictive of these covenants pertain to asset dispositions and prescribed
ratios of indebtedness to total capital and operating income, plus depreciation
and amortization to interest expense. At June 30, 2020, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants and expects to remain in compliance with all
covenants over the next twelve months.

                                       56
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 2020, the Company held $51.4 million of precious metals on
consignment from several financial institutions. The consignment agreements
allow the Company to acquire the precious metals at market rates at a point in
time which is approximately the same time and for the same price as alloys are
sold to the Company's customers. In the event that the financial institutions
would discontinue offering these consignment arrangements, and if the Company
could not obtain other comparable arrangements, the Company may be required to
obtain third party financing to fund an ownership position in the required
precious metal inventory levels.

The cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment is generally
used to finance the subsidiaries' operating activities and future foreign
investments. The Company has the ability to repatriate additional funds to the
U.S., which could result in an adjustment to the tax liability for foreign
withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes and the impact of
foreign currency movements. At June 30, 2020, management believed that
sufficient liquidity was available in the United States and expects this to
remain for the next twelve months. The Company has repatriated and expects to
continue repatriating certain funds from its non-U.S. subsidiaries that are not
needed to finance local operations; however, these particular repatriation
activities have not and are not expected to result in a significant incremental
tax liability to the Company.

Except as stated above, there have been no material changes to the Company's
scheduled contractual cash obligations disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2019.

The Company continues to review its debt portfolio and may refinance additional
debt or add debt in the near-term as interest rates remain at historically low
levels. The Company believes there is sufficient liquidity available for the
next twelve months.
