BREA, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NVST) today announced results for the quarter ended March 28, 2025.
"In the first quarter, Envista delivered results in line with our expectations building on the momentum established across the second half of 2024," said Paul Keel, CEO. "We continued to drive improvements across our three priority areas of growth, operations, and people. This was a solid start to the year, and we are maintaining our 2025 guidance."
Q1 2025 financial highlights:
- Sales were $617 million, with core sales increasing 0.2% over the first quarter of 2024.
- Net Income was $18 million and adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.8%, consistent with our expectations.
- Positive growth in Equipment & Consumables, as growth in our Consumables business more than offset continued softness in the Diagnostics market.
- Modest contraction in Specialty Products & Technologies, as positive growth in Nobel Biocare and Spark clear aligners was offset by contraction in Ortho in China due to VBP preparations.
- EPS of $0.10 and adjusted EPS of $0.24, ahead of our expectations.
Q1 2025 operational highlights:
- Growth: Positive growth in Consumables, Nobel Biocare, Spark, and also in Brackets & Wires outside China.
- Operations: Broad-based contributions from EBS, continued gross margin improvement in Spark, continued high customer service levels, good G&A productivity.
- People: Gains in employee engagement and retention, refreshed leadership team performing well.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
All "Adjusted" amounts including core sales growth and free cash flow are non-GAAP items. Calculations of these measures, the reasons why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and other information relating to these non-GAAP measures are included in the attached supplemental schedules. We do not reconcile forward looking non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures because of the inherent difficulty in predicting and estimating the future impact and timing of currency translation, acquisitions, discontinued products, and any other potential adjustments which would be reflected in any forecasted GAAP measure.

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

ENVISTA HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
A We exclude impairment of certain long-lived assets, executive transition costs, and cost incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements) from the ongoing productivity improvements, that result from application of the Envista Business System. These costs are incremental to the operating activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Envista's ongoing operating costs in a given period.
B Represents the fair value adjustment related to inventory acquired in connection with acquisitions.
C Represents the settlement of certain litigation matters.
D Represents acquisition related transaction expenses and integration costs with respect to business combinations.
E This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all pretax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table using each adjustment's applicable tax rate, including the effect of interim tax accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 Income Taxes.
F The discrete tax matters relate primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions and audit settlements, tax benefits resulting from a change in law, and changes in determination of realization of certain deferred tax assets.
Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Envista Holdings Corporation's ("Envista" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:
- with respect to Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, understand the long-term profitability trends of Envista's business and compare Envista's profitability to prior and future periods and to Envista's peers;
- with respect to Core Sales, identify underlying growth trends in Envista's business and compare Envista's revenue performance with prior and future periods and to Envista's peers;
- with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, help investors understand operational factors associated with Envista's financial performance because it excludes the following from consideration: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and infrequent or unusual losses or gains such as goodwill impairment charges or nonrecurring and restructuring charges. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure for assessing operating performance in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used in connection with operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting, evaluating Company performance and comparing operating results with historical periods and with industry peer companies; and
- with respect to Free Cash Flow (the "FCF Measure"), understand Envista's ability to generate cash without external financings, in order to invest and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire Free Cash Flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance.
The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:
- With respect to Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA:
- We exclude amortization of acquisition-related and other intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.
- With respect to the other items excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Envista's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
- With respect to core sales, we exclude (1) the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, (2) sales from discontinued products because discontinued products do not have a continuing contribution to operations and management believes that excluding such items provides investors with a means of evaluating our on-going operations and facilitates comparisons to our peers, and (3) the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends.
- With respect to the FCF Measure, we adjust for payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to arrive at the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
