Factors to Influence Q2

DENTSPLY SIRONA’s overall growth strategy focuses on product innovation, and research and development (R&D) focus, which is likely to drive sales in the second quarter. This apart, solid track record of innovation and a dedicated, passionate workforce is likely to contribute to performance.

Moreover, better-than-expected performance across all its products categories, equipment and instruments, digital, implants and health care is likely to drive revenues at Technology & Equipment segment. Additionally, the impact of prior-year dealer inventory stocking is likely to contribute to the probable upside.

The company’s CAD/CAM is a dental imaging platform and a major foundation in global dental markets. We expect product launches together with innovation in this area to drive CAD/CAM sales in the to-be-reported quarter, which in turn will bolster revenues in the United States.

The company is likely to have reported witnessed growth in emerging markets in the to-be-reported quarter fueled by better-than-expected performance across Consumables and Technology & Equipment business lines.  

Execution of cost saving opportunities is likely to bolster bottom-line growth in 2019. Consequently, we can expect a similar trend in the to-be-reported quarter.

For 2019, the company estimates revenues to range between $3.95 billion and $4.05 billion, representing an underlying growth of 4-5% over 2018. However, foreign exchange headwinds are expected to impact the company’s top line by $110 million in 2019. Moreover, portfolio streamlining initiatives that have already been implemented are anticipated to reduce 2019 revenues by approximately $70 million. Consequently, we expect these to lower revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.

DENTSPLY SIRONA’s significant international presence poses a threat to the company’s to-be-reported quarter. Foreign exchange is estimated to negatively impact 2019 revenues of 2.5% or $100 million, given the current rates for the remainder of the year. Consequently, we expect a similar trend to follow in the second quarter.
