Item 2.02. - Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, "Results of
Operations and Financial Condition."
On October 24, 2005, the Company issued a press release disclosing its third
quarter 2005 sales and earnings. This earnings release references net sales
excluding precious metal content and earnings from continuing operations
excluding certain unusual items, both of which could be considered measures not
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (
non-GAAP measures). Due to the fluctuations of precious metal prices and because
the precious metal content of the Company's sales is largely a pass-through to
customers and has minimal effect on earnings, the Company reports sales both
with and without precious metal content to show the Company's performance
independent of precious metal price volatility and to enhance comparability of
performance between periods. Earnings from continuing operations excluding
certain unusual items is presented to enhance the comparability between periods.
A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (99.1) and
is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
(a) Financial Statements - Not applicable.
(b) Exhibits:
99.1The Dentsply International Inc. Third quarter 2005 results and
announcement of asset impairment for the period release issued October
24, 2005 as referenced in Item 2.02.
SIGNATURES
