The impact of global economic conditions

Various headwinds are expected to weigh on global growth for the remainder of 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.

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.

Recent tariff policies

As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), 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 and could further implement various tariffs on the importation of certain goods from certain countries, a number of which are or may be applicable to the Company’s supply chain, operations, and sales. Tariffs enacted or proposed by the Trump Administration, together with retaliatory tariffs imposed 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. Further, these tariffs remain subject to evolving modifications and court challenges. Currently, a small portion of the products, materials, and components used in our products are imported from China, and a significant number of dental technology and equipment products that we sell in the United States are manufactured in Europe. Europe is also a significant market for sales of 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. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company received approximately $44 million of refunds for its prior payment of U.S. tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") on goods imported into the U.S. following legal and regulatory developments affecting the administration of those tariffs. While these refunds favorably impacted the Company’s results of operations and cash flows during the quarter, the future effect of tariffs and trade policies on the Company’s business remains uncertain. We continue to monitor and evaluate the ongoing and potential impacts on our supply chain, costs, net sales, and profitability of the tariffs, changes in trade policy, whether implemented or proposed, and court rulings on the legality of certain tariffs. We have executed actions and continue to evaluate additional strategies to mitigate such impacts, including competitive pricing strategies to offset tariffs and evaluating alternative sourcing options to minimize products sourced from high tariff rate countries, both for existing products and to support new product development. It is difficult to predict with reasonable certainty the impact on our results of operations and customers’ demand for our products from incremental tariffs, changes in trade policy, and related court rulings. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

The impact of geopolitical conflicts

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

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 six months ended June 30, 2026, net sales of products produced at these sites comprised approximately 3% of our consolidated net sales and approximately 15% of the net sales of the Orthodontic and Implant Solutions segment. Net assets within Israel totaled $130 million as of June 30, 2026, consisting primarily of acquired technology, property, plant and equipment, inventory, and cash associated with our operations in the country.

In February 2022, because of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the United States, the European Union, and certain other countries imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian financial institutions and 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 six months ended June 30, 2026, net sales in Russia and Ukraine were approximately 3% of our consolidated net sales, and net assets in these countries were $99 million as of June 30, 2026. These net assets include $57 million of cash and cash equivalents held within Russia as of June 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.

Distribution arrangements

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 contribute to fluctuations in net sales and operating income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

Net Sales

The Company presents net sales comparing the current year periods to the prior year periods. In addition, the Company also presents changes in net sales on a constant currency basis, which is a Non-GAAP measure. The Company defines “constant currency” as the reported net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable prior period’s currency exchange rates.

Constant currency is an important internal measure for the Company, and its senior management receives a monthly analysis of operating results that includes constant currency. The performance of the Company is measured on this metric along with other performance metrics.

The Company discloses changes in constant currency to allow investors to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of the impact of foreign currency changes that may impact the comparability of results from period to period and may not be indicative of past or future performance of the normal operations of the Company. The Company believes that this supplemental information is helpful in understanding underlying net sales trends. The Company’s measure of constant currency may differ from those used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The Company’s geographic regions for reporting net sales consist of countries in (i) North and South America (“Americas”), (ii) Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”), and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”). Prior period net sales amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation, reflecting a shift to a regional geographic presentation

For further information on each of these segments including the product lines which comprise them, refer to Item 8, Note 6, Segment and Geographic Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

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.

The impact of global economic conditions

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.

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.

Recent tariff policies

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”.

The impact of geopolitical conflicts

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.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 $156 million as of December 31, 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.

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.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025, net sales in Russia and Ukraine were approximately 3% of our consolidated net sales, and net assets in these countries were $94 million as of December 31, 2025. These net assets include $56 million of cash and cash equivalents held within Russia as of December 31, 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.

Business Drivers

Drivers of changes 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

31

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.

The Company has a focus on maximizing operational excellence on a global basis. The Company has expanded the use of technology and has undertaken process improvement initiatives to enhance global efficiency. In addition, management continues to evaluate the worldwide consolidation and simplification of operations and functions to further reduce costs. While the Company continues consolidation initiatives, which can have an adverse impact on reported results in the short term, the Company expects that the continued benefits from these global efficiency efforts will improve its cost structure in the long-term. Meanwhile, the Company intends to continue pursuing opportunities to expand the Company’s product and solutions offerings, technologies, and sales and service infrastructure through partnerships
