Envista Reports Fourth Quarter 2021 Earnings

BREA, Calif., Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NVST) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021. 

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

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, sales increased 5.8% to $651.8 million with core sales growth of 6.6% over the corresponding quarter in 2020. Core sales growth for the full year 2021 was 29%.

For the fourth quarter 2021, net income was $42.5 million or $0.24 per diluted share.  Adjusted net income was $81.1 million, representing a 12% increase year over year.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.46 vs. $0.43 in the comparable period in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $120.7 million vs. $120.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. 

Amir Aghdaei, Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "For the full year 2021, we grew significantly above pre-pandemic levels and continued to benefit from the repositioning of our portfolio, our improved commercial execution, and our long-term investment in innovation.  Our adjusted EBITDA margin for the year was 19.7% reflecting the underlying profitability of our business and our focus on continuous improvement."

Mr. Aghdaei continued, "We are pleased with our fourth quarter results and remain optimistic about the future of the dental industry.  Given our recent portfolio moves, we are now more focused on the faster growing, most attractive segments of the dental industry.  We continue to work with our clinical partners to streamline their operations and improve patient care.  We are actively partnering with Dental Service Organizations as they improve access to oral care.  Long-term we are positioned as the partner of choice for this fast-growing customer segment.  Ultimately, we remain committed to our purpose of partnering with professionals to improve patients' lives and will continue to work to personalize, digitize, and democratize dental care."

2022 Full Year Guidance

For 2022, barring any significant COVID related disruptions, we expect to deliver core growth of between 6-8% and deliver a full year adjusted EBITDA margin of >20%.  It is important to note that our guidance does not reflect the impact of the pending acquisition of Carestream Dental's IOS business.  We currently expect this acquisition to close in Q2 2022 and will provide updated guidance related to the underlying business as well as our planned integration and growth related investments once we have closed the transaction.

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  These transaction costs are related to the pending acquisition of Carestream Dental's intra-oral scanner business.

^D  Non-cash interest expense represents accretion of the debt discount associated with the convertible senior notes due 2025.

^E  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.

^F  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 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 Net Income, Adjusted Gross Profit, 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 exclude 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.
