BREA, Calif., May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NVST) today announced results for the first quarter 2022.

As previously disclosed, on December 31, 2021, we completed the sale of the KaVo Treatment Unit and Instrument business. All results in this release reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

For the quarter ended April 1, 2022, sales increased 3.1% to $631.4 million with core sales growth of 5.4% over the corresponding quarter in 2021.

For the first quarter of 2022, net income was $70.4 million or $0.39 per diluted share. During the same period, adjusted net income was $84.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share compared to $0.49 per diluted share in the same period of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was $124.6 million compared to $132.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Amir Aghdaei, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Despite a challenging macro environment, we delivered another solid quarter. With core sales growth of 5.4% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.7%, our team is reinforcing our track record of EBS driven execution as we continue in our journey to build a strategically differentiated company. We remain focused on investing in our long-term growth initiatives while also expanding margins."

Mr. Aghdaei continued, "In addition to delivering a solid first quarter, we continue to make progress in transforming our portfolio. With the closing of the acquisition of Carestream Dental's Intraoral Scanner (IOS) business, we have now added a suite of world-class scanners and software solutions that further differentiate our portfolio and support our vision of digitizing, personalizing, and democratizing dental care. Our purpose is to partner with dental professionals to create long-term value for patients, our customers, our employees, and our shareholders."

2022 Guidance

With the closing of the IOS acquisition, we expect the newly branded DEXIS IOS business to deliver between $35 - $45 million in sales over the balance of 2022. We expect sales in the second quarter to be between $5 - $10 million with sales accelerating significantly throughout 2022. We further expect to invest greater than $10 million in one-time costs to support both the integration and position the business for long-term growth. We expect about half of this investment to be in the second quarter.

For the rest of our business, there is no change to our previous guidance. We expect to deliver core sales growth of between 6% - 8% for the full year 2022. We also expect our adjusted EBITDA margin to be greater than 20% for the full year. For the second quarter, we expect to deliver mid-single digit core sales growth and achieve an adjusted EBITDA margin in the high teens.

We use the term "core sales" to refer to GAAP revenue excluding (1) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition ("acquisitions"), (2) sales from discontinued products and (3) the impact of currency translation. Sales from discontinued products includes major brands or products that Envista has made the decision to discontinue as part of a portfolio restructuring. Discontinued brands or products consist of those which Envista (1) is no longer manufacturing, (2) is no longer investing in the research or development of, and (3) expects to discontinue all significant sales within one year from the decision date to discontinue. The portion of sales attributable to discontinued brands or products is calculated as the net decline of the applicable discontinued brand or product from period-to-period. The portion of GAAP revenue attributable to currency exchange rates is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales and (b) the period-to-period change in sales after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. We use the term "core sales growth" to refer to the measure of comparing current period core sales with the corresponding period of the prior year.

ENVISTA HOLDINGS CORPORATION NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

^A	We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Envista Business System. These restructuring plans are incremental to the operating activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Envista's ongoing operating costs in a given period.

^B	Represents accruals for certain legal matters.

^C	The international tax credit relates to a ruling from the Brazilian Supreme Court.

^D	These transaction costs are primarily related to the acquisition of Carestream Dental's intraoral scanner business.

^E	Non-cash interest expense represents accretion of the debt discount associated with the convertible senior notes due 2025. We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and as a result there is no longer a debt discount that requires amortization.

^F	This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all pretax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table using each adjustment's applicable tax rate, including the effect of interim tax accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 Income Taxes.

^G	The discrete tax matters relate primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions and audit settlements, tax benefits resulting from a change in law, and changes in determination of realization of certain deferred tax assets.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Envista Holdings Corporation's ("Envista" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:

with respect to Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, understand the long-term profitability trends of Envista's business and compare Envista's profitability to prior and future periods and to Envista's peers; with respect to Core Sales, identify underlying growth trends in Envista's business and compare Envista's revenue performance with prior and future periods and to Envista's peers; with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, help investors understand operational factors associated with a company's financial performance because it excludes the following from consideration: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and infrequent or unusual losses or gains such as goodwill impairment charges or nonrecurring and restructuring charges. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure for assessing operating performance in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used in connection with operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting, evaluating Company performance and comparing operating results with historical periods and with industry peer companies; and with respect to Free Cash Flow (the "FCF Measure"), understand Envista's ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire Free Cash Flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures).
Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure the Company's operating and financial performance.

The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:

With respect to Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA: We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related and other intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly-acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. With respect to the other items excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Envista's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. With respect to core sales, we exclude (1) the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, (2) sales from discontinued products because discontinued products do not have a continuing contribution to operations and management believes that excluding such items provides investors with a means of evaluating our on-going operations and facilitates comparisons to our peers, and (3) the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. With respect to the FCF Measure, we adjust for payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
