Removed

Below is a full description of each of such significant risk factors.

Reworded

We are exposed to the risk of cyber incidents, which can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events, in the normal course of business. We use integrated information and technology systems to manage our business and deliver products and services to customers. In particular, the 2022 launch of DS Core, our cloud platform that integrates digital dentistry workflows across devices, and the 2024 launch of Primescan 2, a cloud-native intraoral scanner, have introduced new potential vulnerabilities to cyber attacks. The breadth and complexity of our information and technology systems have increased and we expect that they will continue to increase as we expand the services enabled by DS Core and further develop our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) systems and product offerings to utilize artificial intelligence (“AI”) and analytics.analytics (such as DS Core). As a result, we will increasingly be exposed to risks inherent in the development, integration and operation of the evolving information and technology supporting our product platforms, as well as our own internal infrastructure, including:

Reworded

Like other large, global companies, during the normal course of business, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience cyber threats, attacks and other attempts to compromise our information systems, with such attacks and threats rapidly increasing in both sophistication and frequency. However, none, to our knowledge, have had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations to date. Our policies, required employee training (including that which relates to phishing prevention), procedures and technical safeguards may be insufficient to prevent or detect improper access to confidential, proprietary or sensitive data, including personal data. Cyberattacks could also cause us to incur significant costs, disrupt key business operations and divert attention of management and key information technology resources. We also face the ongoing challenge of controlling access to our information and technology infrastructure. We have experienced various cyber incidents in the past and have implemented new controls, governance, protections and procedures as a result. If we do not successfully manage these access controls, it could expose us to the risk of security breaches or disruptions. Although past cybersecurity incidents have not had a material effect on our business or operations, and although we and our service providers take efforts to ensure the integrity of our systems and anticipate, detect, avoid or mitigate such threats, we cannot provide assurances that a future cyberattack would not result in material harm to our business and results of operations. Our policies, required employee training (including phishing prevention), procedures and technical safeguards may be insufficient to prevent or detect improper access to confidential, proprietary or sensitive data, including personal data. Cyberattacks could cause us to incur significant costs, disrupt key business operations and divert attention of management and key information technology resources. We also face the ongoing challenge of controlling access to our information and technology infrastructure. We have implemented new controls, governance, protections and procedures as a result of cyber incidents experienced in the past. If we do not successfully manage these access controls, it could expose us to the risk of security breaches or disruptions. Disaster recovery plans, where in place, might not adequately protect us in the event of a system failure. Further, we currently do not have excess or standby computer processing or network capacity everywhere in the world to avoid disruption in the event of a system failure. Despite any precautions we take, damage from natural disasters, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, break-ins, human error or similar events at our computer facilities could result in interruptions in the flow of data to our servers, although we have not yet experienced such an interruption. While we have invested and continue to invest in information technology risk management and disaster recovery plans, these measures cannot fully insulate us from cyber incidents, technology disruptions or data loss and the resulting adverse effect on our operations and financial results. If our information systems are breached again, sensitive and proprietary data is compromised, surreptitiously modified, rendered inaccessible for any period of time or made public, or if we fail to make adequate or timely disclosures to affected individuals, appropriate state and federal regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies, it could result in significant fines, penalties, court orders, sanctions and proceedings or actions against us by governmental or other regulatory authorities, customers or third parties. We may incur substantial costs and suffer other negative consequences such as liability, reputational harm and significant remediation costs and experience material harm to our business and financial results if we experience cyber incidents in the future.

Removed

Additionally, we seek to maintain insurance coverage for cybersecurity risks, but such insurance has become increasingly difficult to secure and, in some cases, policies may not provide adequate coverage for possible losses. Further, as cybersecurity risks evolve, such insurance may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Uninsured losses or operational losses that result from large deductible payments under commercial insurance coverage might have an adverse impact on our business operations, financial position or results of operations.

Reworded

We collect and process personally identifiable information (“PII”) and other data as part of our business processes and activities. This data is subject to an increasing number of U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including oversight by regulatory or governmental bodies. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), for example, imposeshas an extraterritorial scope that makes it applicable to our U.S.-based legal entities whenever we process the personal data of EU residents and impose stringent data protection requirements and provides significant penalties for noncompliance. Fines for noncompliance can amount to up to €20 million or 4% of the total worldwide annual sales from the preceding financial year (whichever is higher) and may be imposed in conjunction with the exercise of the authority’s investigatory and corrective powers. The GDPR’s extraterritorial scope makes it applicable to our U.S.-based legal entities whenever our business activities process the personal data of EU residents. Privacy laws, rules and regulations are also rapidly developing in other regions, including China, Brazil and South Korea, and the United States.

Reworded

In the United States, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (collectively, “HIPAA”) impose certain requirements on covered entities and their business associates to protect the privacy and security of protected health information (“PHI”) and to provide notification in the event of a breach of PHI. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”), which is responsible for enforcing HIPAA, also may enter into resolution agreements requiring the payment of civil money penalties and/or the establishment of corrective action plans to address violations of HIPAA. Pursuant to HIPAA, OCR has adopted privacy regulations to govern the use and disclosure of PHI and data security regulations that require the implementation of safeguards to protect electronic PHI.

Reworded

Our Company, through its various subsidiaries, functions as both a covered entity and a business associate under HIPAA. Where necessary, we have segregated our data to ensure that PHI is handled in accordance with HIPAA requirements. We believe that we have implemented appropriate policies and procedures and security measures necessary to comply with HIPAA. However, despite our compliance efforts, we may suffer a serious breach of PHI or be subject to a cyberattack that compromises the PHI that we maintain.maintain, which may require that we pay monetary civil penalties or establish corrective action plans.

Added

Additionally, federal and state privacy and security-related laws may be more restrictive than HIPAA and could impose additional penalties:

Added

•For example, the Federal Trade Commission uses its consumer protection authority to initiate enforcement actions in response to alleged privacy violations and data breaches.

Reworded

•Additionally, federal and state privacy and security-related laws may be more restrictive than HIPAA and could impose additional penalties. For example, the Federal Trade Commission uses its consumer protection authority to initiate enforcement actions in response to alleged privacy violations and data breaches. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) createdcreates additional data privacy obligations for covered companies and a private right of action with statutory damages for certain data breaches. In addition, the California Privacy Rights Act further expanded the CCPA to provide even greater rights to California consumers with respect to their data. Otherother states have followed California by implementing data privacy laws, including, but not limited to, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. These laws and other state laws contain breach notification requirements. If we suffer a serious breach of personal data, we may be subject to breach notification requirements, government investigations, media inquiries, civil and criminal fines and penalties, litigation, and negative public perception, and we may be required to expend substantial financial and personnel resources. Any liability from failing to comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws could adversely affect our operations and our financial condition.

Reworded

These varying laws, rules, regulations and industry standards impact our businesses to the extent we rely on the use of personal data,PII, including PHI, and create significant compliance challenges. In addition, certain privacy and data protection laws may apply to us indirectly through our customers, manufacturers, suppliers or other third-party partners. For example, non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations by a third-party partner that is processing personal data on our behalf may be deemed to be non-compliance or a failure to conduct proper due diligence. Any inability, or perceived inability, to adequately address privacy and data protection concerns or to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations, or other legal obligations (including at newly acquired companies) could result in additional cost and liability to us or our officers, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and otherwise adversely affect our business.

Removed

Moreover, global regulation related to the provision of services on the Internet is increasing, as governments continue to adopt new laws and regulations addressing data privacy and the collection, processing, storage and use of personal information. Such laws and regulations are subject to new and differing interpretations and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. These and other requirements could restrict our ability to store and process data or impact our ability to offer future digital dentistry products and services in certain locations. The costs of compliance with and other burdens imposed by these types of laws, regulations and standards may limit the adoption of our products or services or lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for noncompliance, any of which could harm our business.

Reworded

In addition, the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is rapidly evolving and uncertain, especially in the areas of intellectual property, cybersecurity, and privacy and data protection. For example, the EU AI Act was enacted on August 1, 2024, with some provisions effective in February of 2025, and becoming fully effective on August 2, 2026. Additionally, there is uncertainty around the validity and enforceability of intellectual property rights related to the use, development, and deployment of AI. Compliance with new or changing laws, regulations or industry standards relating to AI may impose significant operational costs and may limit the ability of the Company and ourits business partners to develop, deploy or use AI technologies. Failure to appropriately respond to this evolving landscape may result in legal liability, regulatory action, or brand and reputational harm.

Reworded

Although we currently maintain liability insurance intended to cover cyber and certain other privacy and security breach-related claims, we cannot ensure that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us in the future if the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable to us. Insurers are seeking to limit liability and/or deny coverage for AI-related claims due to uncertainty created by the speed of technology advancement. Liabilities for claims outside or in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for cyber liability and certain other privacy and security breach-related claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.

Added

Additionally, our brand depends on our reputation for offering high-quality solutions meeting the highest safety standards. A serious breach of our quality assurance or quality control procedures, deterioration of our quality image, impairment of our customer or consumer relationships or failure to adequately protect the relevance of our brands may lead to litigation, customers purchasing from our competitors, other brands or private labels not manufactured by us, or regulatory enforcement action, any of which could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Added

We generate a substantial portion of our revenue through a limited number of distributors who we also rely on to provide important service and support to end-users. We have attempted to mitigate any risks related to this concentration through diversifying our distributor base, particularly in the United States beginning in 2026.

Added

The dental market continues to be impacted by price competition, driven in part by the consolidation of dental practices, the growing significance of Dental Support Organizations, innovation, and end-user price sensitivity. There can be no assurance our distribution partners will purchase products from us at a similar rate as in the past. Changes in our distributors, our promotional strategies, and investments may adversely impact our distributor relationships, including their effectiveness in selling our projects, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, changes in the capital structure or ownership of distributors could result in changes to our relationship, including shifts in strategies related to inventory management, customer service and servicing the installed base of our products.

Added

We rely in part on our distributor and customer relationships to predict future demand levels and estimate the impact on our financial results. Predications of retail or end customer demand, which influence distributor demand for Dentsply Sirona products, may fluctuate, and may be different from actual demand. There can be no assurance that distributors’ and customers’ demand for our products will be consistent with historical demand. Any disruptions to our distributors’ operations or systems may result in delays in orders and shipments and may prevent our products from being timely delivered to the market.

Added

We have made, and may continue to make in the future, acquisitions to enhance our business and product portfolio, which require us to invest significant resources to integrate the businesses we acquire. We also periodically evaluate our businesses and assets for potential disposition as a key part of our strategy. The success of each acquisition or divestiture depends in part on our ability to realize opportunities and manage risks, including challenges executing transactions, higher operating expenses, litigation, adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers, and the potential loss of key employees, customers, distributors, vendors, and other business partners. The process of continuing to evaluate acquisitions, divestitures or strategic investments may be costly, time-consuming and complex, including requiring management to devote significant time and attention to these types of transactions that may distract our management and disrupt our ongoing business operations or relationships. We may incur significant legal, accounting and advisory fees and other expenses, some of which may be incurred regardless of whether we successfully enter into a transaction. We may not achieve expected returns and benefits in connection with acquisitions or dispositions as a result of various factors, including integration challenges, such as those relating to personnel and technology, and we may not achieve financial results consistent with revenue growth expectations and cost synergies or savings anticipated from integration or disposition activities. Dispositions may also involve continued involvement in a divested business, such as through continuing equity ownership, transition service agreements, guarantees, indemnities or other financial obligations. Under these arrangements, the performance of the divested business, or other conditions outside our control, could affect our future financial results.

Added

We undertake strategic initiatives in an attempt to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our organization, support growth initiatives and improve operating and financial results. Our ability to achieve benefits from our strategic initiatives within the expected timeframe is subject to many estimates, assumptions, and other factors that we may not be able to control. We may also undertake restructuring plans that lead to our incurring charges to execute the plans, which charges may be higher than anticipated, reducing our profitability in the periods such charges are incurred. We executed a restructuring plan in 2024 (the “2024 Plan”). Actions taken under the 2024 Plan sought to streamline our operations and global footprint, as well as improve alignment of our cost structure with strategic growth objectives. The 2024 Plan is substantially complete as of December 31, 2025. In addition, we implemented a new restructuring plan in 2026 (the “2026 Plan”) to improve operational performance and drive stockholder value creation. In connection with the 2026 Plan, the Company expects to incur non-recurring charges in the approximate range of $55 million to $65 million, the majority of which will be expensed and paid in cash in 2026 and 2027. The 2026 Plan is anticipated to result in approximately $120 million in annualized cost savings.

Added

We currently use disparate systems, including ERP systems, across the organization, which may reduce our ability to obtain and analyze business data in a timely manner, increase costs for system upgrades, and pose business partner connection challenges. Non-standardized processes may lead to inaccurate, incomplete or delayed financial and management reporting, which may result in misleading or inaccurate reporting for key business decisions or noncompliance with applicable business and regulatory requirements, potentially causing penalties or fines. We continue to focus on standardizing our processes, improving our financial systems, maintaining effective internal controls and centralizing transaction management and execution to provide continued assurance with respect to our financial reports and prevent financial misstatement or fraud. In 2025, we continued implementing a new global ERP system, which will upgrade and standardize our existing information systems. Beginning in 2023 and continuing through 2025, we made capital investments to support the implementation of this new global ERP system, which has resulted in significant costs and uses of cash that are expected to continue in the future. Execution of the implementation plan is expected to take several years to complete, and cost overruns or any disruptions, delays or complications could lead to higher than anticipated capital investments and related costs, potentially adverse impacts to sales and shipping activities, distract from our core business, or result in failures to produce financial information accurately and timely and may adversely impact our financial results. The implementation of a new global ERP system may not be fully successful in providing standardization sufficient to address these risks even once completed. The failure to either deliver the application on time, adequately design the ERP system or anticipate organization readiness and training needs could lead to business disruptions. The quarterly timing of sales may also be impacted as distributors adjust their buying patterns and inventory levels in anticipation of potential business disruptions related to the implementation of our new ERP system. Failure or abandonment of any part of the ERP system could result in a write-off of part or all of the costs that have been capitalized on the project.

Added

Due to the complexities inherent in implementing these types of cost reduction and restructuring activities, and the timing of strategic investments, we may fail to realize expected efficiencies and benefits or may experience a delay in realizing such efficiencies and benefits, and our operations and business could be disrupted. Company management may be required to divert their focus to these disruptions, and implementation may require agreements with third parties, such as labor unions or works councils. Risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues include delays in workforce reductions, additional unexpected costs, changes in restructuring plans that modify the number of employees affected, negative impacts on our relationship with labor unions or works councils, adverse effects on employee morale, and failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions or may otherwise harm our business, and could have a material adverse effect on our sales growth and other results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, or competitive position.

Removed

Additionally, our brand depends on our reputation for offering high-quality solutions meeting the highest of safety standards. A serious breach of our quality assurance or quality control procedures, deterioration of our quality image, impairment of our customer or consumer relationships or failure to adequately protect the relevance of our brands may lead to litigation, customers purchasing from our competitors, other brands or private labels not manufactured by us, or regulatory enforcement action, any of which could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Reworded

We operatesell to customers in approximately 150140 countries and our suppliers’ manufacturing facilitiesfacilities, along with those of our suppliers, are located in multiple locationscountries around the world. Potential events such as extreme weather, natural disasters, regional epidemics or global pandemics, worker strikes and social and political actions, such as trade wars, regional wars or conflicts or other events beyond our control, could impact our ongoing business operations, including due to disruptions at critical third-party vendors or the loss of critical information technology and telecommunications systems. There is potential that global climate change could result in certain types of natural disasters occurring more frequently or with increased intensity and such climate events could disrupt our third-party suppliers, production, and distribution of our products. Current or future insurance arrangements may not provide protection for costs that may arise from such events, particularly if such events are catastrophic in nature or occur in combination. Although we maintain multiple manufacturing facilities, a large number of the products manufactured by us are manufactured in facilities that are the sole source of such products. As there are a limited number of alternative third-party suppliers for these products, any disruption at a particular Company manufacturing facility could lead to delays and increased expenses and may damage our business and results of operations. If our incident response, disaster recovery and business continuity plans do not resolve these issues in an effective and timely manner, such events could result in an interruption in our operations and could cause material negative impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Reworded

Additionally, a significant portion of our injectable anesthetic products, orthodontic products, certain dental cutting instruments, catheters, nickel titanium products and certain other products and raw materials are purchased from a limited number of supplierssuppliers, andincluding in certain cases single source suppliers pursuant to agreements that are subject to periodic renewal, some of which may also compete with us. As there are a limited number of suppliers for these products, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an adequate supply of these products and raw materials in the future at acceptable prices. Any delays in delivery of or shortages in these products could interrupt and delay manufacturing of our products and result in the cancellation of orders. In addition, these suppliers could discontinue the manufacture or supply of these products to us or supply products to competitors. We may not be able to identify and integrate alternative sources of supply in a timely fashion, or at all. Any transition to alternate suppliers may result in delays in shipment, increase expenses and limit our ability to deliver products to customers.

Removed

We generate a substantial portion of our revenue through a limited number of distributors that provide important support to end-users. Together, our two largest distributors, Patterson Companies, Inc. (“Patterson”) and Henry Schein, Inc. (“Henry Schein”), accounted for approximately 13% of our annual revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. In July 2024, we delivered a one-year notice of non-renewal to Patterson in connection with its non-exclusive distribution agreements for the distribution of dental equipment in the United States and Canada. It is anticipated that Patterson will continue to be one of our two largest distributors as a percentage of our global revenue during the one-year notice period. We intend to engage in discussions for new distribution agreements with Patterson. However, failure to successfully renegotiate the distribution agreements or secure new agreements with another distributor could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We have not incurred any charges against earnings in 2024 related to non-renewal of the distribution agreements.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

In February 2022, because of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, economic sanctions were imposed by the United States, the European Union, and certain other countries on Russian financial institutions and businesses. Due to the medical nature of our products, the current sanctions have not materially restricted our ability to continue selling many of our products to customers located in Russia. For the yeartwelve months ended December 31, 2024,2025, net sales in Russia and Ukraine were approximately 2%3% of our consolidated net sales, and net assets in these countries were $64$94 million.million as of December 31, 2025. These net assets include $39$56 million of cash and cash equivalents held within Russia as of December 31, 2024,2025, as well as inventory and trade accounts receivable. Due to currency control measures imposed by the Russian government, which include restrictions on the ability of companies to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia, we continue to be limited in our ability to transfer this cash balance out of Russia without incurring substantial costs. Additionally, beginning in September 2024, as a result of further restrictions by European financial institutions on receiving payments from Russia, our capacity to receive intercompany payments for the delivery of our products into Russia has been partially reduced, which further limits our ability to use cash received from sales in Russia for our general purposes. It is unclear whether the remaining financial institutions which the Company relies upon for bank transfers from Russia will ultimately be able to continue facilitating payments, or for how long.

Removed

This segment includes the design, manufacture, and sales of the Company’s innovative continence care solutions for both urinary and bowel management. This category consists mainly of urology catheters and other healthcare-related consumable products.

Added

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 14, 2026, the Company entered into new non-exclusive distribution agreements with Patterson Dental Holdings, a leading supplier of products and services to the dental health end market, for the distribution of dental equipment in the United States. This renewed partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to supporting dental professionals with advanced technologies and expert service while setting a clear focus on driving growth and innovation in the years ahead.

Removed

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 11, 2025, the Company has initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives for its Wellspect Healthcare business. There is no deadline or definitive timetable set for completion of the strategic alternatives process or assurance that the process will result in a transaction. The Company does not intend to make further announcements regarding the review of strategic alternatives unless and until the Board of Directors approves a course of action or otherwise determines further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

Added

Various headwinds are expected to weigh on global growth in 2026, due in large part to increasing uncertainties related to global trade policies and inflation. Changes in trade policy, supply chain constraints, higher energy costs, labor shortages, and geopolitical tensions have all contributed to the risk of higher inflation and general economic uncertainty across the industry and the regions in which the Company operates.

Added

The challenging macroeconomic conditions have impacted consumer confidence, the ability and willingness of clinicians to obtain financing to purchase equipment, and consumer discretionary spending for elective procedures, leading to adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations, particularly in the United States. The Company has taken actions to attempt to mitigate the effects of challenging macroeconomic conditions and may take further actions in the future.

Added

Recent tariff policies

Added

As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” the Company’s business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs and other trade protection measures put in place by the United States and other countries. The U.S. government has implemented or is in the process of implementing various tariffs on the importation of goods from certain countries, a number of which are applicable to the Company’s supply chain, operations, and sales, and the tariffs enacted or proposed by the Trump Administration and retaliatory tariffs by other countries could make it significantly more difficult or costly for the Company to import certain products or materials to the United States, or export products or materials from the United States to other countries. Currently, a small portion of the products, materials, and components used in our products are imported from China, and a significant share of the dental equipment that we sell in the United States is manufactured in Europe. Europe is also a major market for our products, including certain consumable products made in the United States, while sales in China represent less than 5% of the Company’s global sales on an annual basis. We continue to monitor and evaluate the ongoing and potential impacts of the tariffs and changes in trade policy, whether implemented or proposed, on our supply chain, costs, net sales and profitability. We have implemented and continue to evaluate additional strategies that would mitigate such impacts, including competitive pricing strategies to offset tariffs and evaluating potential sourcing options that work with our vendors and merchants to seek to minimize products sourced from high tariff rate countries, both for existing products and for new product development. The impact that these tariffs and changes in trade policy will ultimately have on our financial results remains uncertain, including the impact on demand for our products in certain markets if prices rise as a consequence of import tariffs. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”.

Removed

Markets in several regions, particularly Europe, continue to experience varying degrees of pressures inhibiting growth and face concerns about the systemic impacts of adverse economic conditions and geopolitical events. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, higher energy costs, labor shortages, the conflict in Ukraine, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Russia, have all contributed to a period of higher inflation across the industry and the regions in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company has experienced higher prices for certain raw materials, including electronic components, which have led to a negative impact on margins. We expect a continuation of inflationary pressure on the cost of both raw materials and wages into 2025, the effect of which will depend on our ability to successfully mitigate and offset the related impacts.

Removed

The challenging macroeconomic conditions have also negatively impacted demand for the Company’s products and may continue to do so in the future. Specifically, higher interest rates have put pressure on the ability and willingness of our customers to obtain financing for equipment purchases, which adversely affects volumes for these products. The higher cost of borrowing has also reduced patient demand for elective dental procedures, which affects sales of the Company’s offerings more broadly. The Company has also faced additional competitive pressure for lower-priced options for equipment and other products by dental practices, in particular for imaging products and implants. While the Company has taken steps to address competitive pressures, such as the reintroduction of its Orthophos SL 2D and 3D products, these trends may continue. While patient volumes have largely remained stable in the United States, the impact of macroeconomic declines and high interest rates has been particularly apparent in Germany, which represented 11% of the Company’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2024. Germany was in a recession for most of 2023, largely due to persistent high inflation and falling household spending. Although conditions, including inflation, marginally improved in 2024, demand for investments in new dental equipment continued to be weak, and economic forecasts by the German government project limited growth in 2025. The Company anticipates that the challenging macroeconomic and market conditions in Germany are likely to persist and negatively impact sales of equipment into next year.

Removed

In anticipation of a continued inflationary trend and potentially deteriorating macroeconomic environment, we have attempted to mitigate these pressures through the following actions, among others:

Removed

•Driving strategic procurement initiatives to leverage alternative sources of raw materials and transportation;

Removed

•Implementing cost-containment measures, as well as intensifying continuous improvement and restructuring programs in our manufacturing and distribution facilities and other areas of our business, including the most recent restructuring plan approved by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2024;

Removed

•Optimizing our customer management and implementing strategic investments in our commercial sales organization in key markets, particularly the United States; and

Removed

•Refining our focus on developing a winning portfolio with global scale to maximize market share in a competitive pricing environment.

The impact of thegeopolitical Israel-Hamas warconflicts

Added

Geopolitical conflicts are expected to continue to shape market dynamics and pose general threats to financial stability in affected regions, including ongoing tensions from both the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the conflict in the Middle East. Overall, the Company’s operations in Russia, Ukraine, and Israel have not been materially impacted by these conflicts.

Removed

The terrorist attacks by Hamas militants crossing the border from Gaza to Israel in October 2023 and the subsequent military response by the Israeli government in Gaza has resulted in significant unrest and uncertainty within that region. During the course of 2024, the state of Israel has also been a target of coordinated missile and drone attacks launched by the Republic of Iran and by Iran’s terrorist proxy organization in Lebanon. Although a cease-fire agreement was signed between Hamas and the Israeli government in January 2025, the potential for a long-term peace deal and greater stability remains uncertain. A resumption of the violence or the involvement of other terrorist groups or foreign powers in the region could impact our employees and operations in future periods. Additionally, in May 2024, in response to ongoing military actions, the government of Turkey implemented restrictions on the import of goods manufactured within Israel for sale in the Turkish market. Sales of our products made in Israel and sold in Turkey have historically represented approximately 1% of our global sales of the Implant & Prosthetic Solutions reporting unit, but this product category is an area of relatively high potential growth. The loss of sales to Turkey in 2024 was partially offset by sales of implants produced outside of Israel. It is not clear when these restrictions will be lifted or if other countries will institute similar restrictions.

Removed

The Company’s operations in Israel consist of two manufacturing facilities for implants products, with one site in northern Israel and one site in southern Israel, which together employ approximately 350 associates. These facilities remain open and continue to operate. We may, however, decide to discontinue production at these facilities for the safety of our employees, or we could face future production slowdowns or interruptions at either location due to the impacts of the war, including personnel absences as a number of our employees have been called to active military duty, or due to other resource constraints such as the inability to source materials for production.

Reworded

The Company’s operations in Israel consist of two manufacturing facilities for implants products, with one site in northern Israel and one site in southern Israel, both of which remain open and continue to operate normally. For the yeartwelve months ended December 31, 2024,2025, net sales of products produced at these sites comprised approximately 3% of our consolidated net sales and approximately 13% of the net sales of the Orthodontic and Implant Solutions segment. Net assets within Israel totaled $180$156 million as of December 31, 2024,2025, consisting primarily of investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, acquired technology, property, plant and equipment, cash, and inventory associated with our operations in the country. Overall, the Company’s operations in Israel have not been materially impacted by the conflict, and consequently, the Company has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, or fixed asset impairments for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the conflict. The Company continues to monitor developments and prepare contingency plans to limit potential disruption to its operations in the future.

Added

In May 2024, in response to ongoing military actions by Israel in the Gaza strip, the government of Turkey implemented restrictions on the import of goods manufactured within Israel for sale in the Turkish market, which were still in effect as of December 31, 2025. Sales of our products made in Israel and sold in Turkey have historically represented approximately 1% of our global sales of the Implant & Prosthetic Solutions reporting unit, but this product category is an area of relatively high potential growth. The loss of sales to Turkey has been partially offset by sales of implants produced outside of Israel. It is not clear when these restrictions will be lifted or if other countries will institute similar restrictions.

Removed

Additionally, we sell products from across our portfolio to distributors of dental products and direct to dental practices within Israel and its neighboring countries which may face reduced patient traffic and demand for our products in the near term. Net sales for products sold to our customers in Israel comprised approximately 1% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The impact of the war in Ukraine

Removed

In February 2022, because of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, economic sanctions were imposed by the United States, the European Union, and certain other countries on Russian financial institutions and businesses. Due to the medical nature of our products, the current sanctions have not materially restricted our ability to continue selling many of our products to customers located in Russia. The Company also sources certain raw materials and components from Russia and Ukraine and has taken actions to minimize any adverse impacts from disrupted supply chains related to these items. The Company’s operations in Ukraine consist primarily of R&D activities, which continue from locations that focus on the safety of employees. Overall, the Company’s operations in Russia and Ukraine have not been materially impacted by the conflict, and consequently, the Company has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, or asset impairments for the year ended December 31, 2024 as a result of the conflict.

It is unclear whether the remaining financial institutions which the Company relies upon for bank transfers from Russia will ultimately be able to continue facilitating payments, or for how long.

Removed

If these restrictions on cash transfers from Russia worsen, or if we are not able to obtain long-term relief from these restrictions, we may need to take additional actions, including potential suspension of our business in Russia.

Removed

A significant escalation or expansion of the economic disruption from the conflict could interrupt our supply chain, broaden inflationary costs, impair our assets located in Russia, result in a loss of sales, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Removed

For additional discussion of associated risks, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” - Risks Related to Our Global Operations.

Reworded

The primary driversDrivers of organicchanges in net sales on a constant currency basis (as defined below) include macroeconomic factors, global dental industry demand, innovation and new product launches by the Company, as well as continued investments in sales and marketing resources to drive demand creation, including clinical education. On a short-term basis, sudden changes in the macroeconomic environment, supply chain challenges, or changes in distributor inventory levels can and have impacted the Company’s sales. Demand can also fluctuate based on the timing of dental trade shows where promotions are offered, major new product introductions, and variability in dental patient traffic, which can be exacerbated by seasonal or severe weather patterns, or other demographic disruptions such as global pandemics.

Reworded

The Company’s business is subject to quarterly fluctuations in net sales and operating income. The timing of annual price increases, promotional activities, as well as changes in inventory levels at distributors contribute to this fluctuation. Also, the Company distributes approximately two-thirds of its dental consumable and technology and equipment products through third-party distributors whose inventory levels tend tomay increase in the period leading up to a price increase and decline in the period following the implementation of a price increase, although thesethe Company seeks to anticipate and limit material fluctuations arein mitigatedpurchasing bybehavior limitsas on purchases ahead of these increases.applicable. Changes in distributors’ inventory levels have impacted the Company’s consolidated net sales in the past and may continue to do so in the future. In addition, the Company may from time to time engage in new distributor relationships that could cause fluctuations in consolidated net sales and operating income. DistributorWe expect that distributor inventory levels maywill likely fluctuate and differ from the Company’s projections and market demand, resulting in the Company’s forecast of future results being different than expected. There can be no assurance that the Company’s distributors and customers will maintain levels of inventory or patterns of build and liquidation timing in accordance with the Company’s predictions or history. In addition, we expect changes in the Company’s distribution model, including a reduced emphasis on distributor-held inventory, will likely increase variability in ordering patterns and further contribute to fluctuations in net sales and operating income. Any of these fluctuations could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For more information about the drivers of our business and related risks, see Part I, Item 1, “Business” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Restructuring Programs

Removed

On July 29, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an additional plan to restructure the Company’s business to improve operational performance and drive stockholder value creation (the “2024 Plan”). The Company expects to incur between $35 million and $50 million in non-recurring charges under the 2024 Plan. The Company anticipates that the 2024 Plan will be substantially completed by the end of 2025 and result in $80 million to $100 million in annual cost savings. For details on this plan including the nature of the non-recurring charges incurred during the year, refer to Note 18, Restructuring and Other Costs, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, and to the discussion under the heading “Material Trends in Capital Resources” within MD&A.

Removed

Impact of Foreign Currencies

Removed

Due to the Company’s global footprint, movements in foreign currency exchange rates may have a material impact on its reported net sales and pre-tax income. With approximately two-thirds of the Company’s net sales originating from regions outside the United States, the Company’s net sales and results of operations are negatively impacted by the strengthening, or positively impacted by the weakening, of the U.S. dollar compared to the primary currencies in which the Company operates.

Removed

While the Company employs financial instruments to hedge some of its transactional foreign exchange exposure, these activities do not insulate it completely from those exposures, particularly from the currency exposure arising from translation of non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries. During fiscal year 2024, both net sales and gross profit were adversely impacted due to the significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. The continued strength of the U.S. dollar could continue to adversely impact the Company’s results.

Removed

Distribution Arrangements

Removed

In July 2024, the Company delivered a one-year notice of non-renewal in connection with its non-exclusive distribution agreements with Patterson Companies, Inc. (“Patterson”) for the distribution of dental equipment in the United States and Canada. It is anticipated that Patterson will continue to be one of the Company’s two largest distributors as a percentage of the Company’s global revenue during the one-year notice period. The Company intends to continue to engage in discussions for new distribution agreements with Patterson. However, failure to successfully renegotiate the distribution agreements or secure potential new agreements with another distributor could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company has not incurred any charges against earnings in 2024 related to non-renewal of the distribution agreements. For additional information, see Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Removed

On October 24, 2024, the Company announced the voluntary suspension of the sale and marketing of its Byte aligner system and impression kits while the Company conducted a review of certain regulatory requirements related to these products. The Company’s decision was made in communication with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and resulted in suspension of the shipment and processing of new and recently placed orders for Byte aligners and impression kits through the remainder of 2024. In January 2025, the Company announced plans that the Byte aligners would no longer be offered to new patients, and the Company now plans to utilize certain Byte resources elsewhere in the aligners portfolio to create orthodontic demand, support a digital clinical workflow, enhance the customer experience, and improve patient monitoring.

On October 24, 2024, the Company announced the voluntary suspension of the sale and marketing of its Byte aligner system and impression kits. In January 2025, the Company announced plans that the Byte aligners would no longer be offered to new patients. As a result of these developments, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $187 million in impairments of assets pertaining to the Byte business including a trademark, fixed assets, capitalized software and working capital. In addition to these impairments, the Company recorded an accrual for expected customer refund and other reimbursement payments stemming from the cessation of sales and business realignment, which resulted in a $35 million reduction to net sales. The suspension of sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 also resulted in a decline in aligner revenues in 2025 as compared to the prior period.year.

In February 2022, because of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, economic sanctions were imposed by the United States, the European Union, and certain other countries imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian financial institutions and businesses.businesses and export controls on the export of certain products to Russia. Due to the medical nature of our products, the current sanctions and export controls have not materially restricted our ability to continue selling many of our products to customers located in Russia. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, net sales in Russia and Ukraine were approximately 3% of our consolidated net sales, and net assets in these countries were $89$99 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. These net assets include $53$57 million of cash and cash equivalents held within Russia as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as well as inventory and trade accounts receivable. Due to currency control measures imposed by the Russian government, which include restrictions on the ability of companies to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia, we continue to be limited in our ability to transfer this cash balance out of Russia without incurring substantial costs. Additionally, beginning in September 2024, as a result of further restrictions by European financial institutions on receiving payments from Russia, our capacity to receive intercompany payments for the delivery of our products into Russia has been partially reduced, which further limits our ability to use cash received from sales in Russia for our general purposes.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Removed

Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of business acquired and is allocated among the Company’s reporting units. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names, trademarks, and in-process R&D. Neither goodwill nor indefinite-lived intangible assets are amortized; instead, they are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually at April 1 or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired, or if a decision is made to sell, discontinue, or divest a business. Judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred during the year. Such indicators may include a decline in expected cash flows, unanticipated competition, increased interest rates, or slower growth rates, among others.

Removed

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company considered qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances had resulted in a more likely than not impairment of any of its goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the course of the quarter, and concluded there were no such indicators. The fair values of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Orthodontic and Implant Solutions and Connected Technology Solutions segments continue to approximate carrying value. Any deviation in actual financial results compared to the forecasted financial results or valuation assumptions used in the annual or interim tests, a decline in equity valuations, increases in interest rates, or changes 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.

At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had $684$683 million of borrowings available under lines of credit, including lines available under its short-term arrangements and revolving credit facility. The Company’s borrowing capacity includes a $700 million multi-currency credit facility which expires in May 2028. The Company also has access to an aggregate $700 million under a U.S. dollar commercial paper facility. The $700 million revolver serves as a back-up to the commercial paper facility, thus the total available credit under the commercial paper facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facility in the aggregate is $700 million. The Company had $35 million in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper facility at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, resulting in $665 million remaining available under the revolving credit and commercial paper facilities. The Company also has access to $19$18 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. The lines of credit have no major restrictions and are provided under demand notes between the Company and the lending institutions. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had less than $1 million outstanding under short-term borrowing arrangements.

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 cash to the United States, 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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, management believed that sufficient liquidity was available in the United States and expects this to continue 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. Repatriation activities both performed and contemplated to date have not resulted in, and are not expected to result in, any significant incremental tax liability to the Company.

Reworded

On February 24, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new restructuring plan (the “2026 Plan”) to improve operational performance and drive stockholder value creation. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company has incurred $60$57 million in non-recurring restructuring charges and paid out approximately $16 million under the 2026 Plan since its inception, primarily related to employee severance payments, benefits, and other transition costs. In total, the Company expects to incur non-recurring charges in the approximate range of $60 million to $65 million related to the 2026 Plan, the majority of which will be expensed and paid in cash in 2026 and 2027. The 2026 Plan is anticipated to result in approximately $120 million in annualized cost savings. The Company intends to reinvest a portion of the anticipated savings in targeted return-to-growth initiatives, including investments in accelerated innovation, clinical education, and sales team education focused on connected dentistry.
