DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO UNAUDITED
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND REVISION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial
statements and related notes contain the accounts of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as amended and filed on November 7, 2022.
Recently Concluded Investigation
As
previously disclosed, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit and Finance Committee”), assisted by independent legal counsel and forensic accountants, commenced an internal investigation in March 2022 of
allegations regarding certain financial reporting matters submitted by current and former employees of the Company. In the North America Investigation, the Audit and Finance Committee concluded that there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing
or fraud. The Audit and Finance Committee found that certain former members of senior management, including the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, violated provisions of the Company’s Code of Ethics and
Business Conduct. In addition, these former members of senior management did not maintain and promote an appropriate control environment focused on compliance in areas of the Company’s business, nor did they sufficiently promote, monitor or
enforce adherence to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The North America Investigation found that certain former members of senior management, including the former Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer
created a culture where employees did not feel comfortable raising concerns without fear of retaliation. In addition, the North America Investigation substantiated certain allegations regarding inappropriate tone at the top by the former Chief
Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer. Based on the China Investigation, the Audit and Finance Committee
concluded that members of the Company’s local commercial team in China, as well as the head of the Company’s Asia-Pacific commercial organization, committed intentional wrongdoing by failing to provide requested information to the Company’s local
accounting team, by obstructing the work of the accounting team and by lacking truthfulness in providing information to the Company and to the Audit and Finance Committee as part of the China Investigation. The China Investigation also determined
that these actions by the certain members of the Company’s local commercial team in China, as well as the former Chief Financial Officer and the head of the Company’s Asia-Pacific commercial organization, violated the Company’s Code of Ethics and
Business Conduct.
On October 29, 2022, the Audit and Finance Committee determined that its
investigation was complete, and authorized the filing of these interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.
Correction of Previously Reported Interim Consolidated Quarterly Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial statements include immaterial corrections to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 which were presented in Note 23 to the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K/A filed on November 7, 2022. This revision, which corrects for errors related to certain customer incentive programs as well
as the accounting and assumptions in the determination of estimates related to the Company’s sales returns provisions, warranty reserve provisions and variable consideration, as well as other immaterial adjustments, results in a decrease to Net
sales by $ 1 million, a decrease to Operating Income by $4 million and a decrease to Diluted EPS by $0.02 from amounts previously
reported for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. This revision did not result in a change to previously reported Gross Margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Previously reported cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 were not impacted.
The accounting policies of the Company, as applied in the interim consolidated
financial statements presented herein, are substantially the same as presented in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K/A filed on November 7, 2022, except as may be indicated below.
9
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of Net sales and
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Specifically, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, some of these estimates and
assumptions continue to be based on an ongoing evaluation of expected future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly have a negative material impact on the Company’s financial
condition, liquidity, or results of operations in future periods is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. More specifically, although demand for the Company’s products has largely recovered from the impact of rigorous preventive measures
implemented at the outset of the pandemic, it continues to be affected by social distancing guidelines, dental practice safety protocols which reduce patient traffic, and some lingering patient reluctance to seek dental care. Also, impacts from
the pandemic continue to be experienced in the form of more recent shortages and higher prices of raw materials such as electronic components, higher related transportation costs, and labor shortages. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company has
experienced supply chain constraints, which has impacted its ability to timely produce and deliver certain products, and has also resulted in increases in shipping rates. To address these issues, the Company has taken steps to mitigate the impact
of these trends, including continued emphasis on cost reduction and supply chain efficiencies. However, uncertainties remain regarding how long these impacts will continue, whether customer demand will fully return to pre-COVID-19 levels upon
lifting of remaining government restrictions, or whether future variants of the virus may have an adverse impact on demand in affected markets.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” in January 2021. The new standard provides optional expedients and
exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) or another rate expected to be discontinued due to the reference rate reform. The amendments in this standard were
effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to contract modifications made or evaluated through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations: Accounting
for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 805), which requires contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in
accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value differs from the
current approach. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard
on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE
Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of dental equipment and dental and
healthcare consumable products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring
goods or providing services.
Net sales disaggregated by product category for the three months ended March 31,

Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company normally does not have contract assets in the course of its business.
Contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are primarily related to advanced billings for customer aligner treatment where the performance obligation has not yet been fulfilled. The Company had $ 64 million and $ 68 million of deferred
revenue recorded in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respecti vely . Prior year deferred revenue of approximately $ 32 million was recognized in the current year. The Company expects to recognize significantly all of the remaining deferred revenue within the next
twelve months.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts and notes receivables-trade, net are stated net of allowances for doubtful
accounts and trade discounts, which were $ 11 million at March 31, 2022 and $ 13 million at December 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, changes to the provision for doubtful accounts including write-offs of accounts receivable that were
previously reserved were insignificant. Changes to this provision are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cumulative tax adjustments were $ 156 million and $ 168 million,
respectively, primarily related to foreign currency translation adjustments.
The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments included translation losses
of $ 313 million and $ 250
million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and cumulative losses on loans designated as hedges of net investments of $ 101
million and $ 116 million, respectively. These foreign currency translation losses were partially offset by movements on derivative
financial instruments.
Reclassifications out of AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were insignificant.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company excluded from the computation

their effect would be antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company excluded 0.8 million of equivalent shares
of common stock outstanding from stock options and RSUs because their effect would be antidilutive.
The Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program, up to $ 1.0 billion. Share repurchases may 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. At March 31, 2022, the Company had authorization to repurchase $ 770 million in shares of common stock remaining under the share repurchase program, which was further reduced by $ 30 million through final settlement of the accelerated share repurchase program in April 2022 as described below.
On March 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement
(“ASR Agreement”) with a financial institution to purchase the Company’s common stock based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the agreement, less a discount.

The
ASR agreement was accounted for as an initial delivery of common shares in a treasury stock transaction on March 9, 2022 of $ 120 million
and a forward contract indexed to the Company’s common stock for an amount of common shares to be determined on the final settlement date. The forward contract met all applicable criteria for equity classification and was not accounted for as a
derivative instrument. Therefore, the forward contract was recorded as Capital in excess of par value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2022. The initial delivery of common stock reduced the weighted average common shares
outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS. The forward contract did not impact the weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted EPS.

NOTE 6 – BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS
Acquisitions
2021 Transactions
On July 1, 2021, the effective date of the transaction, the Company paid $ 7 million to acquire the remaining interest in the dental business of a partially owned affiliate based in Switzerland that primarily develops highly
specialized software with a focus on CAD/CAM systems. The acquisition is expected to further accelerate the development of the Company’s specialized software related to CAD/CAM systems.
The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
connection with the acquisition of the affiliate included $ 4 million of Other current assets, $ 3 million of Intangible assets, $ 2 million of Current
Liabilities and $ 1 million of Other long-term liabilities. The cash paid and the $ 4 million fair value of the previously-held interest in the entity prior to the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of the preliminary estimates of fair values of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in the recording of $ 7 million in goodwill. This goodwill is considered to represent
the value associated with the acquired workforce and synergies the Company anticipates realizing from integrating the acquired assets into the Company’s existing business operations, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Measurement period
adjustments made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the year ended December 31, 2021 and the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial to the financial statements, resulting in an increase to goodwill of $ 2 million. Management is continuing to finalize its valuation of certain assets and liabilities including other intangible assets and will conclude
its valuation no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The results of operations for each of the acquired businesses above upon the
effective date of each transaction have been included in the accompanying financial statements. These results, as well as the historical results for the above acquired businesses for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, are not
material in relation to the Company’s net sales and earnings for those periods. The Company therefore does not believe these acquisitions represent material transactions either individually or in the aggregate requiring the supplemental pro-forma
information prescribed by ASC 805 and accordingly, this information is not presented.
Investment in Affiliates
On June 4, 2021, the effective date of the transaction, the Company paid $ 16 million to acquire a minority interest in a U.K.-based, privately-held provider of healthcare consumables. The investment is recorded as an equity
method investment within Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Divestitures
On April 1, 2021, the Company disposed of certain orthodontics businesses based in
Japan previously included as part of the Technologies & Equipment segment in exchange for a cash receipt of $ 8 million. The
divestiture resulted in an immaterial loss recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On February 1, 2021, the Company disposed of an investment casting business
previously included as part of the Consumables segment in exchange for a cash receipt of $ 19 million. The divestiture resulted in a
pre-tax gain of $ 13 million recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2021.

NOTE 7 – SEGMENT
INFORMATION
The Company’s two operating segments are organized primarily by product and generally have overlapping geographical presence, customer bases, distribution channels, and regulatory oversight. These
operating segments are also the Company’s reportable segments in accordance with how the Company’s chief operating decision-maker regularly reviews financial results and uses this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and allocate
resources.
The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on net sales and adjusted
operating income. Segment adjusted operating income is defined as operating income before income taxes and before certain corporate headquarters unallocated costs, restructuring and other costs, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net,
amortization of intangible assets and depreciation resulting from the fair value step-up of property, plant, and equipment from acquisitions.
A description of the products and services provided within each of the Company’s two reportable segments is provided below.
Technologies & Equipment
This segment is responsible for the design, manufacture, and sales of the Company’s
dental technology and equipment products and healthcare products. These products include dental implants, CAD/CAM systems, orthodontic clear aligners, imaging systems, treatment centers, instruments, as well as medical devices.
Consumables
This segment is responsible for the design, manufacture, and sales of the Company’s
consumable products which include various preventive, restorative, endodontic, and dental laboratory products.

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, which primarily
include the risks related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as part of its overall risk management program. The objective of this
risk management program is to reduce the volatility that these market risks may have on the Company’s operating results and cash flows. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm
commitments, or assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt into variable rate debt or vice versa. The Company does not hold derivative instruments
for trading or speculative purposes.
The following summarizes the notional amounts of cash flow hedges,
hedges of net investments, fair value hedges, and derivative instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes by derivative instrument type at March 31, 2022 and the notional amounts expected to mature during the next 12 months.

Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company hedges select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce
volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings. The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the
assessed effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the
spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time-value component of the fair
value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating
activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities up to 18 months, which is the period over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows and the counterparties to the transactions are
typically large international financial institutions.
22
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts infrequently as they are only
used to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt instruments and not for speculative purposes. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
On May 26, 2020, the Company paid $ 31 million to settle the $ 150 million notional T-Lock contract,
which partially hedged the interest rate risk of the $ 750 million senior unsecured notes. This loss is amortized over the ten-year life of the notes. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $ 24 million and $ 25 million, respectively, of this loss is remaining to be
amortized from AOCI in future periods.
AOCI Release
Overall, the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are considered to be highly
effective for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2022, the Company expects to reclassify an immaterial amount of deferred net losses on cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the next 12 months. For
the rollforward of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in AOCI see Note 4, Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
The Company has significant investments in foreign subsidiaries. The net assets of
these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. The Company employs both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of this exposure. The derivative instruments consist of foreign exchange
forward contracts and cross-currency basis swaps. The non-derivative instruments consist of foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level. Translation gains and losses related to the net assets of the foreign subsidiaries are
offset by gains and losses in the aforementioned instruments, which are designated as hedges of net investments and are included in AOCI. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Other
expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the applicable period. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows except for derivative
instruments that include an other-than-insignificant financing element, for which all cash flows are classified as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency basis
swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay at the reporting date, taking into account the effective interest rates, cross-currency swap basis rates and foreign exchange rates. The effective portion of the change in the value
of these derivatives is recorded in AOCI, net of tax effects.
On July 2, 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency basis swap totaling a
notional amount of $ 300 million which matures on June 3, 2030. The cross currency basis swap is designated as a hedge of net
investments. This contract effectively converts a portion of the $ 750 million bond coupon from 3.3 % to 1.7 %.
On May 25, 2021, the Company re-established its euro net investment hedge portfolio
by entering into eight foreign exchange forward contracts, each with a notional amount of 10 million euro. The original contracts have quarterly maturity dates through March 2023. The Company enters into additional foreign exchange contracts as individual
contracts within the portfolio mature. As of March 31, 2022 the euro net investment hedge portfolio has an aggregate notional value of 160
million euro with maturity dates through March 2024.
23
Fair Value Hedges
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company has intercompany loans denominated in Swedish kronor that are exposed to
volatility in currency exchange rates. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge these exposures. The Company accounts for these designated foreign exchange forward contracts as fair value hedges. The Company measures the
effectiveness of fair value hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the applicable period. Any cash flows associated with
these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
On January 6, 2021 the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with
a notional value of SEK 1.3 billion as a result of an increase in intercompany loans denominated in Swedish kronor. The foreign
exchange forwards are designated as fair value hedges.
Interest Rate Risk Management
On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into variable interest rate swaps with a
notional amount of $ 250 million, which effectively converts a portion of the underlying fixed rate of 3.3 % on the $ 750 million Senior Notes
due June 2030 to a variable interest rate. Of the $ 250 million notional amount, $ 100 million has a term of five-years maturing on June 1, 2026 and $ 150 million has a term of nine years
maturing on March 1, 2030.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges
The Company enters into derivative instruments with the intent to partially mitigate
the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The Company primarily uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge these risks. The gains and losses on
these derivative transactions offset the gains and losses generated by the revaluation of the underlying non-functional currency balances and are recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any cash flows
associated with the foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Gains and (losses) recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations
related to the economic hedges not designated as hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were insignificant.

Balance Sheet Offsetting
Substantially all of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to netting
arrangements; whereby the right to offset occurs in the event of default or termination in accordance with the terms of the arrangements with the counterparty. While these contracts contain the enforceable right to offset through netting
arrangements with the same counterparty, the Company elects to present them on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 11 – FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENT
The estimated fair value and carrying value of the Company’s total debt, including
current portion, was $ 2,251 million and $ 2,219
million, respectively, at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value and carrying value were $ 2,239 million and $ 2,095 million, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is based on recent trade information in the financial markets of the Company’s public
debt or is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 to companies with similar credit ratings for issues with similar terms and maturities. It is considered a Level 2 fair
value measurement for disclosure purposes.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities set forth by level within the fair
value hierarchy that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Derivative valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model
including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and credit risks. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts that are considered cash flow hedges. In addition, the Company at times employs certain
cross currency interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts that are considered hedges of net investment in foreign operations.
There have been no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31,
2022.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
Uncertainties in Income Taxes
The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the interim consolidated
financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. Under
ASC 740-10, the Company provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest expense by adjusting unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits in income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions based on its
operations, some of which are under examination by taxing authorities. Certain amounts of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, primarily
due to the completion of ongoing income tax examinations. Final settlement and resolution of outstanding tax matters in various jurisdictions during the next 12 months are not expected to be significant. Expiration of statutes of limitation in
various jurisdictions during the next twelve months could include unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $ 1 million. Of this
approximately $ 1 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax
rate.
Other Tax Matters
The impact of discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter in which they
occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 1 million of tax expense for other discrete tax matters,
none of which are individually significant. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to the overall decrement in the Company’s performance and the corresponding earnings mix of jurisdictions in which Company does business.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $ 1 million of tax benefit for other discrete tax matters. The Company also recorded a $ 4 million tax expense as a discrete item related to business divestitures.
29
NOTE 13 – FINANCING
ARRANGEMENTS
At March 31, 2022, the Company had $ 399 million of borrowing available under lines of credit, including lines available under its short-term arrangements and revolving credit facility.
The Company has a $ 500 million commercial paper program. The Company had $ 330 million and $ 170 million outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper facility at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company also has a $ 700 million multi-currency revolving credit facility which serves as a back-stop credit facility for the Company’s commercial paper program. At
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the multi-currency revolving credit facility. The
Company also has access to $ 43 million in uncommitted short-term financing under lines of credit from various financial institutions,
the availability of which is reduced by other short-term borrowings of $ 14 million. At March 31, 2022, the weighted-average interest
rate for short-term debt was 1.2 %.
The Company’s revolving credit facility, term loans and senior notes contain certain
affirmative and negative debt covenants relating to the Company’s operations and financial condition. At March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. T he Company is required under certain of its debt agreements to deliver or make available to borrowers its unaudited financial statements on a timely basis each quarter along with
the necessary certifications. As a result of the Company’s failure to file its unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 by the reporting deadlines, the Company obtained the consents of the
requisite lenders and noteholders of its outstanding indebtedness to extend the time period for delivery of such unaudited financial statements until November 14, 2022. Therefore, the Company has not suffered an event of default as a result of
the delayed filings.
30
NOTE 14 – GOODWILL
AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company assesses both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment annually as of April 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. Based on the Company’s 2021 impairment test, it was determined that the fair values of its reporting units
and indefinite-lived intangible assets more likely than not exceeded their respective carrying values, resulting in no impairment.
The fair values of reporting units were computed using a
discounted cash flow model with inputs developed using both internal and market-based data. Intangible assets were evaluated for impairment using an income approach, specifically a relief from royalty method, or using a qualitative assessment. A
change in any of the estimates and assumptions used in the annual test, a decline in the overall markets or in the use of intangible assets among other factors, could have a material adverse effect to the fair value of either the reporting units
or intangible assets and could result in a future impairment charge. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future asset impairment testing will not result in a material charge to earnings.
Subsequent to the annual impairment test, the Company considered
qualitative and quantitative factors as of March 31, 2022 to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances had resulted in the likelihood that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may have become more likely than not
impaired during the course of the quarter, and concluded there were no such indicators.
A reconciliation of changes in the Company’s goodwill by
reportable segment were as follows:

During
the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased certain developed technology rights for an initial payment of $ 3 million. The
purchase consideration also includes minimum guaranteed contingent payments of $ 17 million to be made upon reaching certain regulatory
and commercial milestones, which were not yet considered probable of payment as of March 31, 2022.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
On January 25, 2018, Futuredontics, Inc., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, received service of a purported class action lawsuit brought by Henry Olivares and other similarly situated individuals in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. In January 2019, an amended complaint
was filed adding another named plaintiff, Rachael Clarke, and various claims. The plaintiff class alleges several violations of the California wage and hours laws, including, but not limited to, failure to provide rest and meal breaks and the
failure to pay overtime. The parties have engaged in written and other discovery. On February 5, 2019, Plaintiff Calethia Holt (represented by the same counsel as Mr. Olivares and Ms. Clarke) filed a separate representative action in Los Angeles
Superior Court alleging a single violation of the Private Attorneys’ General Act that is based on the same underlying claims as the Olivares/Clarke lawsuit. On April 5, 2019, Plaintiff Kendra Cato filed a similar action in Los Angeles Superior
Court alleging a single violation of the Private Attorneys’ General Act that is based on the same underlying claims as the Olivares/Clarke lawsuit. The Company has agreed to resolve all three actions (Olivares, Holt, and Cato). The court in Cato
approved the settlement in that case, the settlement payment has been made, and the court dismissed the lawsuit. The parties to Olivares and Holt are in the process of seeking court approval of that settlement. The expected settlement amount,
which is immaterial to the financial statements, has been recorded as an accrued liability within the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.
On June 7, 2018, and August 9, 2018, two putative class action suits were filed, and
later consolidated, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York claiming that the Company and certain individual defendants, violated U.S. securities laws (the “State Court Action”) by making material misrepresentations and
omitting required information in the December 4, 2015 registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the 2016 merger of Sirona Dental Systems Inc. (“Sirona”) with DENTSPLY International Inc. (the “Merger”). The amended complaint
alleges that the defendants failed to disclose, among other things, that a distributor had purchased excessive inventory of legacy Sirona products and that three distributors of the Company’s products had been engaging in anticompetitive conduct.
The plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of a class of former Sirona shareholders who exchanged their shares for shares of the Company’s stock in the Merger. On September 26, 2019, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss all
claims and a judgment dismissing the case was subsequently entered. On February 4, 2020, the Court denied plaintiffs’ post-judgment motion to vacate or modify the judgment and to grant them leave to amend their complaint. The plaintiffs appealed
the dismissal and the denial of the post-judgment motion to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, First Department, and the Company cross-appealed select rulings in the Court’s decision dismissing the action. The
plaintiffs’ appeals and the Company’s cross-appeal were consolidated and argued on January 12, 2021. On February 2, 2021, the Appellate Division issued its decision upholding the dismissal of the State Court Action with prejudice on statute of
limitations grounds. The Plaintiffs did not appeal the Appellate Division decision.
On December 19, 2018, a related putative class action was filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain individual defendants (the “Federal Class Action”). The plaintiff makes similar allegations and asserts the same claims as those asserted in the State Court Action. In
addition, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants violated U.S. securities laws by making false and misleading statements in quarterly and annual reports and other public statements between February 20, 2014, and August 7, 2018. The plaintiff
asserts claims on behalf of a putative class consisting of (a) all purchasers of the Company’s stock during the period February 20, 2014 through August 7, 2018 and (b) former shareholders of Sirona who exchanged their shares of Sirona stock for
shares of the Company’s stock in the Merger. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on August 15, 2019. The plaintiff filed its second amended complaint on January 22, 2021, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended
complaint on March 8, 2021. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was fully submitted on May 21, 2021, and that motion is currently pending before the Court.
On June 2, 2022, the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio
captioned City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust v. Casey, Jr. et al., No. 2:22-cv-02371 (S.D. Ohio), and on July 28, 2022, the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned San Antonio Fire and Police Pension Fund v. Dentsply Sirona Inc. et al., No. 1:22-cv-06339 (together, the “Securities Litigation”). The complaints in the Securities Litigation
are substantially similar and both allege that, during the period June 9, 2021 through May 9, 2022, the Company, Mr. Donald M. Casey Jr., the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jorge Gomez, the Company’s former Chief Financial
Officer, violated United States securities laws by, among other things, making materially false and misleading statements or omissions, including regarding the manner in which the Company recognizes revenue tied to distributor rebate and
incentive programs.

No specific amounts of damages have been alleged in these lawsuits. We will continue to incur legal fees in connection with these pending cases, including expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees
of present and former officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of continuing to defend such litigation may be significant. We intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously, but there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in any defense. If any of the lawsuits are decided adversely, we may be liable for significant damages directly or under our indemnification obligations, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. At
this stage, we are unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of these lawsuits or estimate the range of any potential loss.
As a result of an audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2012 through 2013, on February
11, 2019, the IRS issued to the Company a “30-day letter” and a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”), relating to the Company’s worthless stock deduction in 2013 in the amount of $ 546 million. The RAR disallows the deduction and, after adjusting the Company’s net operating loss carryforward, asserts that the Company is entitled to a refund of $ 5 million for 2012, has no tax
liability for 2013, and owes a deficiency of $ 17 million in tax for 2014, excluding interest. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company recorded the tax benefit associated with the worthless stock deduction in the Company’s 2012
financial statements. In March 2019, the Company submitted a formal protest disputing on multiple grounds the proposed taxes. The Company and its advisors discussed its position with the IRS Appeals Office Team on October 28, 2020 and, on
November 13, 2020, submitted a supplemental response to questions raised by the Appeals Team. The Company’s position continues to be reviewed by the IRS Appeals Office team. The Company believes the IRS’ position is without merit and believes
that it is more likely-than-not the Company’s position will be sustained upon further review by the IRS Appeals Office Team. The Company has not accrued a liability relating to the proposed tax adjustments. However, the outcome of this dispute
involves a number of uncertainties, including those inherent in the valuation of various assets at the time of the worthless stock deduction, and those relating to the application of the Internal Revenue Code and other federal income tax
authorities and judicial precedent. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the dispute with the IRS will be resolved favorably. If determined adversely, the dispute would result in a current period charge to earnings and could have a
material adverse effect in the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and liquidity of the Company.
The Swedish Tax Agency has disallowed certain of the Company’s interest expense
deductions for the tax years from 2013 to 2018. If such interest expense deductions were disallowed, the Company would be subject to an additional $ 42
million in tax expense. The Company has appealed the disallowance to the Swedish Administrative Court. With respect to such deductions taken in the tax years from 2013 to 2014, the Court ruled against the Company on July 5, 2017. On August 7,
2017, the Company appealed the unfavorable decision of the Swedish Administrative Court. On November 5, 2018, the Company delivered its final argument to the Administrative Court of Appeals at a hearing. The European Union Commission has taken
the view that Sweden’s interest deduction limitation rules are incompatible with European Union law and supporting legal opinions, and therefore the Company has not paid the tax or made provision in its financial statements for such potential
expense. This view has now been confirmed by the European Union Court of Justice in a preliminary ruling requested by the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court. Subsequently, the Swedish Tax Authority has conceded in pending court proceedings that
the Company should be granted further interest expense deductions, but still claims that interest expense deductions incurring a maximum additional tax expense of $ 11 million should be disallowed on grounds not relating to European Union law.
The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions and pursue related appeals in
the above-described pending matters.
In addition to the matters disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time,
subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings incidental to its business. These legal matters primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company’s products and services and claims relating to intellectual
property matters including patent infringement, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, competition and sales and trading practices, personal injury, and insurance coverage. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a
result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, divested businesses. Some of these lawsuits may include claims for punitive and
consequential, as well as compensatory damages. Except as otherwise noted, the Company cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the above-described pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be,
or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information, and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable,
may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
While the Company maintains general, product, property, workers’ compensation,
automobile, cargo, aviation, crime, fiduciary and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance up to certain limits that cover certain of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses. In addition, while the
Company believes it is entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may also be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses.

Part II, Item 8, Note 22 “Commitments and Contingencies” in our 2021 Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have,
or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources other than certain items disclosed in the sections above.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business to facilitate sale of our products and services, we
indemnify certain parties: customers, vendors, lessors, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, services to be provided by us and intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In
addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and our executive officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors or officers. Several of these agreements limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim.
It
is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Additionally, we have a limited history of prior
indemnification claims and the payments we have made under such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any material indemnification claims
that were probable or reasonably possible. However, to the extent that valid indemnification claims arise in the future, future payments by us could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash
flows in a particular period.
