ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our business is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the sections entitled “Envista Holdings Corporation Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This section of the Form 10-K generally discusses 2025 and 2024 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2025 and 2024. Discussion of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 are not included in this Form 10-K, and can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is divided into six sections:
◦Overview
◦Results of Operations
◦Liquidity and Capital Resources
◦Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
◦Critical Accounting Estimates
◦New Accounting Standards
OVERVIEW
General
We provide products that are used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease and ailments of the teeth, gums and supporting bone, as well as to improve the aesthetics of the human smile. We help our customers deliver the best possible patient care through industry-leading dental consumables, solutions, technologies, and services. With leading brand names, innovative technology and strong market positions, we are a leading worldwide provider of a wide range of solutions to support dental implants, orthodontic treatments, and diagnostic solutions, as well as general dental consumable products, equipment and services, and are dedicated to driving technological innovations that help dental professionals improve clinical outcomes and enhance productivity. Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service and administrative facilities are located in more than 30 countries across North America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.
During 2025, 53% of our sales were derived from customers outside the U.S. As a global provider of dental consumable products, equipment and services, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic and political factors. Given the wide range of dental products, software and services provided and geographies served, we do not use any indices other than general economic trends to predict our overall outlook. Our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including to the extent possible their sales, to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future.
As a result of our geographic and product line diversity, we face a variety of opportunities and challenges, including rapid technological development in most of our served markets, the expansion and evolution of opportunities in emerging markets, trends and costs associated with a global labor force, consolidation of our competitors, trade restrictions and tariffs, and increasing regulation. We operate in a highly competitive business environment in most markets, and our long-term growth and profitability will depend in particular on our ability to expand our business in emerging geographies and emerging market segments, identify, consummate and integrate appropriate acquisitions, develop innovative and differentiated new products and services, expand and improve the effectiveness of our sales force, continue to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency and quality and effectively address the demands of an increasingly regulated global environment. We are making significant investments to address the rapid pace of technological change in our served markets and to globalize our manufacturing, research and development and customer-facing resources (particularly in emerging markets and our dental implant business) in order to be responsive to our customers throughout the world and improve the efficiency of our operations.

Key Trends and Conditions Affecting Our Results of Operations
General Economic Conditions
In addition to industry-specific factors, we, like other businesses, face challenges related to global economic conditions, including sustained inflation, increases in interest rates, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, slower economic growth or recession, trade policies and regulations, customer channel inventory realignment and continuing supply chain disruptions. Dental costs are largely out-of-pocket for the consumer and thus utilization rates can vary significantly depending on economic growth. While many of our products are considered necessary by patients regardless of the economic environment, certain products and services that support discretionary dental procedures may be more susceptible to changes in economic conditions.
Trade Policies and Regulations
Increasing protectionism and economic nationalism may lead to further changes in trade policies and regulations, domestic sourcing initiatives, or other formal and informal measures that could make it more difficult to sell our products in, or restrict our access to certain markets. For example, trade tensions between the U.S. and China have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions. The U.S. has significantly increased tariffs on products imported from China into the U.S. and implemented new tariffs on imports into the U.S. from other countries, particularly from Canada, Mexico, and the EU. In response to these tariffs, some foreign countries, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs, which impact our products, while other countries have threatened retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. products. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions governments may take, which may include trade restrictions and additional or increased tariffs and export controls imposed on short notice. While we expect to largely offset the impact of the existing tariffs with mitigating actions including supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies, and cost management, we have already experienced an increase in cost due to higher tariffs. To the extent that we are unable to offset the tariffs or if the tariffs or our countermeasures negatively impact demand, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will continue to be adversely affected. Any future tariffs and trade restrictions may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Significant portions of our sales and costs are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2025, our products were sold in more than 130 countries and 53% of our sales were to customers outside of the U.S. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk, in part, through our operations, including managing same-currency sales in relation to same-currency costs and same-currency assets in relation to same-currency liabilities. As our operations use multiple foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Chinese yuan, changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will impact our sales, cost of sales and expenses, and consequently, net income. Exchange rate fluctuations in emerging markets may also directly affect our customers’ ability to buy our products in these geographic markets.
On a year-over-year basis, currency exchange rates positively impacted reported sales by 1.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the weakening U.S. dollar against most major currencies. Any future weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would positively impact our sales and results of operations and any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would adversely impact our sales and results of operations.
We also hold certain receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Movement in the related foreign currency rates in relation to the U.S. dollar may also impact our results of operations.
Pricing Controls
Certain countries, as well as some private payors, also control the price of health care products, directly or indirectly, through reimbursement, payment, pricing or coverage limitations, tying reimbursement to outcomes or (in the case of governmental entities) compulsory licensing. For example, China has implemented VBP policies, a series of centralized reforms instituted in China on both a national and regional basis that has resulted in significant price cuts for medical and dental consumables.
49
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the global response to this invasion, including sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries, could have an adverse impact on our business, including our ability to market and sell products in the affected regions, potentially heightening our risk of cyber security attacks, impacting our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights in Russia, creating disruptions in the global supply chain, and potentially having an adverse impact on the global economy, financial markets, energy markets, currency rates and otherwise. While we are experiencing volatility in sales from this region, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine did not have a material impact on our overall financial position or results of operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Israel-Hamas War and Related Conflict
We continue to monitor the evolving social, political, and economic environment in Israel and in the region for any impact to our operations. We maintain a production facility in Israel related to our Alpha-Bio Tech Implant brand. While we have experienced some volatility in the region, the Israel-Hamas War and related hostilities have not had a material impact on our business.
Assumptions Related to Aligner Treatment Plans
Our aligner business, included in the Specialty Products & Technologies segment, enters into revenue contracts that involve multiple performance obligations which include optional aligners at no additional charge. Our treatment plans are comprised of the following performance obligations: initial aligner shipment and the subsequent shipments of any optional refinement aligners. For such plans, we also consider usage rates, which is the number of times a customer is expected to order additional refinement aligners. This usage rate is the basis for estimating the amount of transaction price to allocate to future performance obligations.
We continually review and update the usage rate and other related assumptions. Future changes to usage rates and related assumptions may impact the pattern of revenue recognition for future treatment plans. The process of estimating the number of times a clear aligner customer is expected to order additional aligners after the initial aligner shipment requires judgment and evaluation of inputs, including historical usage data in order to predict future usage patterns.
Industry Trends
We operate in the large and growing global dental products industry. We believe growth in the global dental industry will be driven by:
◦an aging population;
◦the current under penetration of dental procedures, especially in emerging markets;
◦improving access to complex procedures due to increasing technological innovation;
◦an increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry; and
◦the growth of DSOs, which are expected to drive increasing penetration of, and access to, dental care globally.
Product Development, New Product Launches and Commercial Investment
A key element of our targeted value creation strategy is to drive growth through portfolio development and product innovation. Our future growth and success depend on both our pipeline of new products and technologies, including new products and technologies that we may obtain through license or acquisition, and the expansion of the use of our existing products and technologies. We believe we are a leader in dental R&D, with a track record of product innovation, business development and commercialization.
We continue transforming our portfolio by investing in our Dental Implant Solutions and Orthodontic Solutions businesses and also making investments in emerging markets, critical to our growth strategy. The cost reduction initiatives we have taken and will continue to undertake in the future allow us to further invest in this growth strategy, which in turn we believe should improve our margins.
50
Our continued investment in Spark, our clear aligner system, has led to increased manufacturing capacity and continues to gain market adoption as orthodontists and their patients see the benefits of the clear, stain resistant and comfortable design. We believe that Spark will provide growth opportunities for our Orthodontic Solutions business.
Manufacturing and Supply
In order to sell our products, we must be able to reliably produce and ship our products in sufficient quantities. Many of our products involve complex manufacturing processes and are produced at one or a limited number of manufacturing sites.
Minor deviations in our manufacturing or logistical processes, unpredictability of a product’s regulatory or commercial success or failure, the lead time necessary to construct highly technical and complex manufacturing sites and shifting customer demand increase the potential for capacity imbalances. For a discussion of risks relating to our manufacturing process, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business.”
Components of Sales and Costs and Expenses
Sales
Our sales are primarily derived from the sale of dental consumable products, equipment and services to third-party distributors and end-users. For additional information regarding our products, including descriptions of our products, refer to “Item 1. Business—Our Business Segments.”
Costs and Expenses and Other
Cost of sales consists primarily of cost of materials, labor, facilities, restructuring costs, and other infrastructure used to manufacture our products, and shipping and handling costs attributable to delivering our products to our customers.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of, among other things, the costs of selling, marketing, advertising and administration (including business technology, facilities, legal, finance, human resources, business development and procurement), restructuring costs, and amortization expense for intangible assets that have been acquired through business combinations.
R&D expenses consist of project costs specific to new product R&D and product lifecycle management, overhead costs associated with R&D operations, regulatory costs, product registrations and investments that support local market clinical trials for approved indications.
Nonoperating income (expense) consists of the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses), net gains or losses on equity and other investments, inducement charges related to convertible debt exchanges, and interest expense, net.
Business Performance
During the year ended December 31, 2025, our sales increased 8.3%, while core sales increased 6.5% as compared to the comparable period of 2024. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased sales in the year ended December 31, 2025, by 1.6% compared to the comparable period of 2024.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Our growth strategy contemplates future acquisitions and we continually evaluate potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with our existing portfolio or expand our portfolio into new and attractive business areas. Our operations and results can be affected by the rate and extent to which appropriate acquisition opportunities are available, acquired businesses are effectively integrated and anticipated synergies or cost savings are achieved.
51
Non-GAAP Measures
In order to establish period-to-period comparability, we include the non-GAAP measure of core sales in this report. References to the non-GAAP measure of core sales (also referred to as core revenues or sales/revenues from existing businesses) refer to sales calculated according to GAAP, but excluding:
•sales from acquired businesses for one year from the acquisition date;
•sales from discontinued products; and
•the impact of currency translation.
We exclude sales from acquired businesses in order to provide accurate year over year comparisons. Sales from discontinued products includes major brands or major products that we have made the decision to discontinue as part of a portfolio restructuring. Discontinued brands or products consist of those which we (1) are no longer manufacturing, (2) are no longer investing in the research or development of, and (3) expect to discontinue all significant sales of 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. We exclude 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.
The portion of sales attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between:
•the period-to-period change in sales; and
•the period-to-period change in sales after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.
We exclude the effect of currency translation from core sales because currency translation is not under our control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. Core sales growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales growth provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our on-going business and facilitating comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We also use core sales growth to measure our operating and financial performance.

53
Sales and core sales growth for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 8.3% and 6.5%, respectively, compared to the comparable period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volume coupled with the timing of deferred revenue recognition related to our clear aligner treatment plans, which positively impacted sales by 4.5% on a period-over-period basis, while sales price increased by 2.0%.
Geographically, sales volumes were positively impacted by higher sales in North America and Europe.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
For the Years Ended December 31,
The increase in cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024, was driven primarily by higher sales volume, higher costs due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and increased tariffs, partially offset by the absence of impairment related to certain long-lived assets from the comparable prior period.
Gross profit margin percentage was flat as compared to the comparable period in 2024 driven primarily by positive factors such as higher sales volume including the impact from the timing of deferred revenue recognition related to our clear aligner treatment plans, an increase in sales price, manufacturing productivity, and the absence of impairment related to certain long-lived assets from the comparable prior period, offset by unfavorable product mix and higher costs due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and tariffs.
OPERATING EXPENSES
For the Years Ended December 31,
Research and development expenses $ 114.0 $ 99.1 $ 93.8
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment $ — $ 1,153.8 $ 258.3
R&D as a % of sales 4.2 % 3.9 % 3.7 %
The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the comparable period of 2024, was driven primarily by higher sales, along with lower bad debt, amortization of intangible assets, legal settlement costs, and general and administrative costs, partially offset by our continuing investment in our long-term growth initiatives.
The increase in R&D expenses as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the comparable period of 2024, was driven by increased investment in existing R&D projects and new product development initiatives.
There was no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets as a result of the Company’s annual test during 2025. Goodwill and intangible asset impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $1,153.8 million consisted of a $960.5 million goodwill charge and a $193.3 million intangible asset charge. Approximately $707.8 million of the goodwill impairment charge related to our Specialty Products & Technologies segment and $252.7 million related to our Equipment & Consumables segment. The reduction in value was due to adverse macroeconomic factors as a result of weakened global demand, a sustained suppressed stock price, higher cost of capital, and increased raw material, supply chain and service costs, which contributed to reduced revenue forecasts, lower operating margins, and reduced expectations of future cash flows. The intangible asset impairment charges consisted of $101.1 million related to certain indefinite-lived trade names within the Specialty Products & Technologies segment, and $92.2 million consisted of certain finite-lived patents and technology and customer relationships within the Equipment & Consumables segment and were primarily due to a reduction in projected cash flows discussed above.
54
INTEREST COSTS AND FINANCING
Interest costs were $36.6 million and $46.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024 was primarily due to lower debt balances and interest rates.
For a discussion of our outstanding indebtedness, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
INCOME TAXES
For the Years Ended December 31,
Effective tax rate 73.5 % (3.1) % (82.5) %
Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 73.5% compared to (3.1)% in 2024. The change in the effective rate was primarily due to the impact of nondeductible impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets in 2024 and a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion related to the restructuring of a foreign subsidiary with certain intercompany loans in 2025. We anticipate the restructuring will have a beneficial tax impact going forward.
SPECIALTY PRODUCTS & TECHNOLOGIES
Our Specialty Products & Technologies segment primarily develops, manufactures and markets dental implant systems, including regenerative products, dental prosthetics and associated treatment software and technologies, as well as orthodontic bracket systems, aligners and lab products.

Operating Profit
Operating profit margin was 10.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to an operating profit margin of 5.6% for the comparable period of 2024. The increase in operating profit margin was primarily due to higher sales volume, including the timing of deferred revenue recognition related to our clear aligner treatment plans, higher sales price, lower bad debt expense, manufacturing productivity, and the absence of impairment of certain long-lived assets from the comparable prior period, partially offset by increased tariffs, higher costs due to the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates and our continuing investment in our long-term growth initiatives.
EQUIPMENT & CONSUMABLES
Our Equipment & Consumables segment primarily develops, manufactures and markets dental equipment and supplies used in dental offices, including digital imaging systems, software and other visualization/magnification systems; endodontic systems and related consumable products; restorative materials and instruments, rotary burs, impression materials, bonding agents and cements and infection prevention products.

Geographically, sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased primarily due to higher demand from North America and Europe.
Operating Profit
Operating profit margin was 16.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to an operating profit margin of 17.0% for the comparable period of 2024, primarily due to the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates, unfavorable product mix, increased tariffs, partially offset by higher sales volume and sales price and a decrease in amortization of intangibles.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities. We continue to generate substantial cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flow and other sources of liquidity are sufficient to allow us to manage our capital structure on a short-term and long-term basis and continue investing in existing businesses and consummating strategic acquisitions.
56
Following is an overview of our cash flows and liquidity:
Overview of Cash Flows and Liquidity
Year Ended December 31,
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 275.7 $ 336.5 $ 275.7
Purchases of investments held in rabbi trust (9.9) (32.8) —
Proceeds from sale of investments held in rabbi trust 10.4 9.3 —

All other financing activities — (0.8) 0.1
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities $ (170.9) $ (103.7) $ 118.9
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period due to working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, restructuring activities, pension funding and other items impacting cash flows.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $275.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $336.5 million in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to lower prior year incentive compensation payments, combined with the timing of cash collections, inventory payments, vendor payments and tax payments, partially offset by higher net income.
Investing Activities
Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for the purchase of investments, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development and improving information technology systems.
Net cash used in investing activities was $51.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $54.6 million for the comparable period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to lower purchases of investments held in the rabbi trust, partially offset by higher net payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment and higher spend on certain investing activities.
57
Financing Activities
Cash flow relating to financing activities consist primarily of cash flows associated with debt borrowings and the issuance of common stock.
Net cash used in financing activities was $170.9million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $103.7 million for the comparable period of 2024 and was primarily driven by stock repurchases and the repayment of the 2025 Convertible Notes which matured on June 1, 2025, partially offset by the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the repayment of $100.0 million of the 2028 Term Loan during 2024.
For a description of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We intend to satisfy any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flow and available cash primarily through our Revolving Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 2025, we had $117.5 million in outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and we have the ability to incur an additional $632.5 million of indebtedness in direct borrowings under this facility. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
Cash and Cash Requirements
As of December 31, 2025, $1,211.7 million of cash and cash equivalents were held on deposit with financial institutions. Of this amount, $374.4 million was held within the U.S. and $837.3 million was held outside of the U.S. We will continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs, capital expenditures and acquisitions, pay interest and service debt, pay taxes and any related interest or penalties and fund our restructuring activities as required and support other business needs. We generally intend to use available cash, internally generated funds, and our Revolving Credit Facility to meet these cash requirements, but in the event that additional liquidity is required, particularly in connection with acquisitions, we may need to enter into new credit facilities or access the capital markets. We may also access the capital markets from time to time to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain alternative sources of financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business.”
Generally, cash and cash equivalents held in these financial institutions may be withdrawn or redeemed at face value, and we therefore believe that minimal credit risk exists with respect to them. Nonetheless, deposits with these financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions, to the extent such deposits are even insured in such foreign jurisdictions. While we monitor on a systematic basis the cash and cash equivalent balances in the operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit our funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, we have experienced no loss of principal or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our cash and cash equivalents will not be affected if the financial institutions where we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail.
During the second quarter of 2025, we borrowed from our Revolving Credit Facility to pay in full the $116.3 million in principal amount outstanding on our 2025 Convertible Notes which matured on June 1, 2025.
In early 2025, we transferred approximately $320 million of international cash to the U.S. Although local laws may restrict the repatriation of certain cash held outside the U.S., most of our foreign cash is available for repatriation. Under current U.S. tax law, cash may generally be repatriated to the U.S. without additional U.S. tax; however, such repatriation may be subject to non-U.S. withholding or other taxes on distributions. Cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries that is designated for indefinite reinvestment is primarily used to finance foreign operations and investments, including acquisitions. The income tax effects, if any, applicable to such earnings, including basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries, are not readily determinable or are impracticable to estimate.
On February 5, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, allowing us to purchase up to $250 million of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2026. Stock repurchases made in connection with this program totaled approximately $165.9 million, or 9.2 million shares during the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Part II, Item 5 “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details. The cash outflows associated with the Company’s stock repurchases are classified in financing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
58
As of February 6, 2026, we believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our cash needs over the next 12 months and beyond, including our cash needs in the U.S.
Purchase Obligations
The Company’s purchase obligations primarily consist of agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction.
The following table sets forth, by period due or year of expected expiration, as applicable, a summary of purchase obligations as of December 31, 2025.

($ in millions) Total Less Than One Year 1-3 Years 4-5 Years More Than 5 Years
Guarantees and related instruments $ 15.5 $ 7.6 $ 7.2 $ 0.3 $ 0.4
Guarantees consist primarily of outstanding standby letters of credit and bank guarantees. These guarantees have been provided in connection with certain arrangements with vendors, customers, financing counterparties and governmental entities to secure our obligations and/or performance requirements related to specific transactions.
Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that require us to indemnify customers, suppliers or other business partners for specific risks, such as claims for injury or property damage arising out of our products or services or claims alleging that our products or services infringe third-party intellectual property. We have not included any such indemnification provisions in the contractual obligations table above. Historically, we have not experienced significant losses on these types of indemnification obligations.
Debt Financing Transactions
For a description of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Legal Proceedings
Please refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for information regarding legal proceedings and contingencies, and for a discussion of risks related to legal proceedings and contingencies, please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors—General Risks.”
59
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices as well as credit risk, each of which could impact our consolidated financial statements. We generally address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities. Please refer to Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for information regarding derivative financial instruments and discussion of exposures to foreign currency and foreign currency-denominated debt.
Interest Rate Risk
Certain of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest, which may expose us to interest rate risk. We have a variable rate 2028 Term Loan for $430.0 million, a 2028 Euro Term Loan for €350.0, and a Revolving Credit Facility with outstanding borrowings of €100.0 million as of December 31, 2025. A 100-basis point increase in the interest rate related to our 2028 Term Loan, our 2028 Euro Term Loan and our outstanding borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility, would have increased interest expense by $9.7 million for 2025.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We face transactional exchange rate risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the U.S. and from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Transactional exchange rate risk arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than our functional currency or the functional currency of our applicable subsidiary. We also face translational exchange rate risk related to the translation of financial statements of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars, our functional currency. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries is reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity.
On January 17, 2023, we entered into a two-year $150.0 million cross-currency swap derivative contract to partially hedge our net investment in foreign operations against the adverse movement in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro. This cross-currency contract effectively converts a portion of our U.S. dollar senior term loan facilities to obligations denominated in Euros and will partially offset the impact of changes in currency rates on foreign currency denominated net investments. On December 23, 2024, we extended the cross-currency swap derivative contract for an additional three years and it will mature in January 2028.
Additionally, we use foreign currency forward and call option contracts to hedge our foreign currency risk associated with certain foreign denominated balance sheet transactions. These foreign currency forward and call option contracts are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and therefore the changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. On December 31, 2025, we entered into various foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $162.7 million, which had a fair value of zero at December 31, 2025, and matured in January 2026. The realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to forward contracts or call options partially offset the corresponding gains (losses) related to the underlying foreign denominated balance sheet transactions.
For additional information on hedging transactions and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Other than the above cross-currency swap derivative contract and the foreign currency forward and call option contracts, we are exposed to exchange rate movements. Both positive and negative movements in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar will therefore continue to affect the reported amount of sales and net earnings in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies. A 10% depreciation in major currencies relative to the U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2025 would have reduced equity by approximately $247 million.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to potential credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of receivables from customers.
Our businesses perform credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions as appropriate and also obtain collateral or other security when appropriate.
60
Commodity Price Risk
For a discussion of risks relating to commodity prices, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business.”. At December 31, 2025, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, the current economic environment and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and judgments.
We believe the following accounting estimate is the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements. Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and (2) material changes in the estimate are reasonably likely from period-to-period. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting estimates, refer to Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Acquired Intangibles
Our business acquisitions typically result in the recognition of goodwill, patents, technology, customer relationships and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment charges that we may incur. Refer to Notes 2 and 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our policies relating to acquisitions, goodwill and acquired intangibles.
We review goodwill and identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We also test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually for impairment. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires various valuation approaches, including making a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These analyses require us to make judgments and estimates about future sales, expenses, market conditions and discount rates related to these assets. If actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated and a charge would need to be taken to net income which would adversely affect our consolidated financial statements.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test. For our goodwill test, we used a combination of valuation techniques, including an income approach and a market-based approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value amount. Our reporting units are the financial components of operating segments which constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. Our significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow models vary amongst, and are specific to, each reporting unit which include, but are not limited to, discount rates, revenue growth rates, and operating margin assumptions. The discounted cash flow model requires judgments and assumptions about projected sales growth, future operating margins, discount rates and terminal values. In evaluating the estimates derived by the market-based approach, management makes judgments about the relevance and reliability of the multiples by considering factors unique to our reporting units, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, business trends and our market capitalization. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions and our judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
For indefinite-lived intangible assets test, we used the relief from royalty method to estimate the fair value. Our significant assumptions vary amongst, and are specific to, each underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset which includes, but is not limited to, discount rates, revenue growth rates assumptions (including perpetual growth rates) and royalty rates.
61
For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets we performed our 2025 annual test of impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter. Based on this assessment, our analysis indicated that the fair value of our reporting units and the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying values and consequently did not result in an impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2025. However, any deviation in future actual financial results compared to the forecasted financial results or valuation assumptions used in the impairment 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 on the fair value of either the reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets and could result in future impairment charges. There can be no assurance that our future asset impairment testing will not result in a material charge to earnings.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded goodwill impairment charges as a result of our goodwill impairment analysis at June 28, 2024, whereby we recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $960.5 million, with $707.8 million related to our Specialty Products & Technologies segment and $252.7 million related to our Equipment & Consumables segment, and a $101.1 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment related to certain indefinite-lived trade names within the Specialty Products & Technologies segment.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded impairment charges as a result of our annual impairment test, whereby we recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $212.3 million, with $134.5 million related to our Specialty Products & Technologies segment and $77.8 million related to our Equipment & Consumables segment, and a $46.0 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment related to certain indefinite-lived trade names within the Specialty Products & Technologies segment.
Furthermore, we review the carrying amounts of other finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit, and adverse legal or regulatory developments. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined primarily using projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge of $92.2 million related to developed technology and customer relationships within our Equipment & Consumables segment. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, there were no impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets.

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Envista Holdings Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Envista Holdings Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Envista Holdings Corporation (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Envista Holdings Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business Overview
The Company provides products that are used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease and ailments of the teeth, gums and supporting bone, as well as to improve the aesthetics of the human smile. The Company is a worldwide provider of a wide range of dental implants, orthodontic appliances, diagnostic solutions, general dental consumable products, equipment and services and is dedicated to driving technological innovations that help dental professionals improve clinical outcomes and enhance productivity.
The Company operates in two business segments: Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables.
The Company’s Specialty Products & Technologies segment primarily develops, manufactures and markets dental implant systems, including regenerative solutions, dental prosthetics and associated treatment software and technologies, as well as orthodontic bracket systems, aligners and lab products. The Company’s Equipment & Consumables segment primarily develops, manufactures and markets dental equipment and supplies used in dental offices, including digital imaging systems, software and other visualization/magnification systems; endodontic systems and related consumable products; and restorative materials and instruments, rotary burs, impression materials, bonding agents and cements and infection prevention products.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Principles
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s revenue recognition for multiple performance obligation arrangements, valuations, purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, accounts receivable reserves, inventory excess and obsolescence reserves, certain accrued expenses, restructuring and other related charges, tax reserves, deferred tax rates and recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, and stock-based compensation.
The Company bases these estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainties associated with these estimates exist and actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
74
Acquisitions
The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into new and attractive business areas. Among other things, goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect a number of factors including the future earnings and cash flow potential of these businesses, the multiple to earnings, cash flow and other factors at which similar businesses have been purchased by other acquirers, the competitive nature of the processes by which the Company acquired the businesses, avoidance of the time and costs which would be required (and the associated risks that would be encountered) to enhance the Company’s existing product offerings to key target markets and enter into new and profitable businesses and the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations.
We account for acquisitions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Business Combinations and use the acquisition method of accounting. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises (i) fair values of the assets transferred; (ii) liabilities assumed of the acquired business; and (iii) fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its estimation of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains the information used to estimate the fair values during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, up to 12 months, as the Company obtains additional information that existed at the acquisition date about these assets and liabilities, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company makes the appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Credit Losses
All trade accounts receivable are reported on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets adjusted for any write-offs and net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from the Company’s trade accounts receivable portfolio. Determination of the allowances requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of credit losses that could materially affect the provision for credit losses and, therefore, net income. The Company regularly performs detailed reviews of its portfolios to determine if an impairment has occurred and evaluates the collectability of receivables based on a combination of various financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay, including customers’ financial condition, debt-servicing ability, past payment experience and credit bureau information and forecasts. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories include the costs of material, labor and overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value primarily using the first-in, first-out method. Market value for raw materials is based on replacement costs and for other inventory classifications is based on net realizable value. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to current and historical selling prices and historical and projected sales volume. Based on this evaluation, provisions are made to write inventory down to its net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The provision for depreciation has been computed principally by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets as follows:
Category Useful Life
Buildings 30 years
Machinery, equipment and other assets 3 – 10 years
75
Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes to estimates are made prospectively.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluates each lease agreement to determine whether the lease is an operating or finance lease. For leases where the Company is the lessee, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also consists of any prepaid lease payments, lease incentives received, costs which will be incurred in exiting a lease and the amount of any asset or liability recognized on business combinations relating to favorable or unfavorable lease terms. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition. In certain of the Company’s lease agreements, the rental payments are adjusted periodically to reflect actual charges incurred for common area maintenance, utilities, inflation and/or changes in other indexes.
Investments
Investments over which the Company has a significant influence but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting which requires the Company to record its initial investment at cost and adjust the balance each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividends paid. For investments which do not qualify for the equity method and do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company uses the measurement alternative method which requires it to record these investments at cost, and remeasure to fair value upon observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer, or upon impairment. Investments are recorded as Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a component of Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. No significant realized or unrealized gains or losses were recorded during the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 with respect to these investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, investments in a rabbi trust, derivatives, trade accounts payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate fair value. Refer to Note 11 for the fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets result from the Company’s acquisition of existing businesses. In accordance with accounting standards related to business combinations, goodwill is not amortized; however, certain finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and acquired technology, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or performs a quantitative test. When tested quantitatively, the Company may use a combination of techniques adjusted for current period facts and circumstances, including an income approach and a market-based approach, to determine whether the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. Similarly, the Company performs its impairment test of indefinite-lived intangibles by using the relief from royalty method to determine whether the fair value of the underlying asset is greater than its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit or an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its respective fair value, an impairment charge is recognized. In making these assessments, management relies on a number of factors, including business trends, business plans, economic projections, expected future operating results and cash flow, and the Company’s market capitalization. The Company’s reporting units are the financial components of operating segments which constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by segment management. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not record an asset impairment for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $960.5 million and $101.1 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $212.3 million and $46.0 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. Additional information related to the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment, including results of the 2024 and 2023 impairment tests, are provided in Note 8, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Management also reviews the carrying amounts of other finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit, and adverse legal or regulatory developments. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined primarily using projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, there were noimpairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $92.2 million for finite-lived intangible assets.
77
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from the sale of Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables products and services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606. For equipment, consumable products and spare parts sold by the Company, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer, the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer must have accepted the product or service. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment. Sales arrangements with delivery terms that are not FOB Shipping Point are not recognized upon shipment and the transfer of control for revenue recognition is evaluated based on the associated shipping terms and customer obligations. If a performance obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction remains to be fulfilled following shipment (typically installation or acceptance by the customer), revenue recognition for that performance obligation is deferred until such commitments have been fulfilled. Returns for products sold are estimated and recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Customer allowances and rebates, consisting primarily of volume discounts and other short-term incentive programs, are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale because these allowances reflect a reduction in the transaction price. Product returns, customer allowances and rebates are estimated based on historical experience and known trends. For extended warranty and service, control transfers to the customer over the term of the arrangement. Revenue for extended warranty and service is recognized based upon the period of time elapsed under the arrangement.
For a contract with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers; however, when prices in standalone sales are not available the Company may use third-party pricing for similar products or services or estimate the standalone selling price. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the contracts’ inception. The Company does not adjust transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and payment for that good or service by the customer is expected to be one year or less.
Additionally, the Company continually reviews and updates its usage rate, which is the number of times a clear aligner customer is expected to order additional aligners after the initial aligner shipment, along with other related assumptions associated with its clear aligner treatment plan contracts. Changes to standalone sales price, usage rates and related assumptions may impact the pattern of revenue recognition for future treatment plans. The process of estimating the usage rate requires judgment and evaluation of inputs, including historical usage data in order to predict future usage patterns.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are considered a fulfillment cost and are included as a component of cost of sales. Revenue derived from shipping and handling costs billed to customers is included in sales.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing new products, enhancing the functionality, effectiveness, ease of use and reliability of the Company’s existing products and expanding the applications for which uses of the Company’s products are appropriate. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
78
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in the Company’s tax return in future years for which the tax benefit has already been reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have already been taken as a deduction on the Company’s tax return but have not yet been recognized as an expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides for unrecognized tax benefits when, based upon the technical merits, it is “more likely than not” that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination. Judgment is required in evaluating tax positions and determining income tax provisions. The Company re-evaluates the technical merits of its tax positions and may recognize an uncertain tax benefit in certain circumstances, including when: (1) a tax audit is completed; (2) applicable tax laws change, including a tax case ruling or legislative guidance; or (3) the applicable statute of limitations expires. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures as of December 31, 2025. ASU 2023-09 requires the disclosure of a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, and income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign. Refer to Note 19 for additional information.
Restructuring
The Company periodically initiates restructuring activities to appropriately position the Company’s cost base relative to prevailing economic conditions and associated customer demand as well as in connection with certain acquisitions. Costs associated with productivity improvement and restructuring actions can include termination benefits and related charges in addition to facility closure, contract termination and other related activities. The Company records the cost of the restructuring activities when impairment is identified or when the associated liability is incurred. Refer to Note 18 for additional information.
Foreign Currency Translation
Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in net income, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average rates. Net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $(30.5) million, $9.0 million and $(9.4) million, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative instruments. The Company has generally accepted the exposure to transactional exchange rate movements without using derivative instruments to manage this risk, although the Company from time to time partially hedges its net investments in foreign operations as well as other foreign denominated balance sheet transactions against adverse movements in exchange rates through foreign currency-denominated debt, cross-currency swaps, and foreign currency forward and call option contracts. Changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt and cross-currency swaps are designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations and are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity. Changes in the foreign currency forwards and call option contracts, which are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, are recognized immediately in earnings and partially offset the corresponding gains (losses) related to the underlying foreign denominated balance sheet transactions. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on derivative financial instruments.
Loss Contingencies
The Company records a reserve for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company evaluates pending litigation and other contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts the reserve for such contingencies based on changes in probability and estimates of loss.
79
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Foreign currency translation adjustments are generally not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company’s cross-currency swap arrangements and foreign currency denominated debt that are designated as net investment hedges are adjusted for income taxes as those arrangements are not indefinite. Changes in the funded status of the pension plans, net of taxes, are recognized in the year in which the changes occur and reported in other comprehensive loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock options, and performance stock units, based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. Refer to Note 15 for additional information on the stock-based compensation plan in which certain employees of the Company participate.
Pension Plans
The Company measures its pension assets and obligations that determine the funded status as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year, and recognizes an asset for an over funded status or a liability for an underfunded status in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the funded status of the pension plans are recognized in the year in which the changes occur and reported in other comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on the Company’s pension plans including a discussion of the actuarial assumptions, the Company’s policy for recognizing the associated gains and losses and the method used to estimate service and interest cost components.
Deferred Compensation Plan
Certain management or highly compensated employees of the Company participate in nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis. The obligations are presented as a component of the Company’s compensation and benefits accrual included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Participants may choose among alternative earnings rates for the amounts they defer, which are based on the programs’ investment options. Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts. Deferred restricted stock units, amounts voluntarily deferred by employees into the Company stock fund, and amounts contributed to participant accounts by the Company are deemed invested in the Company’s common stock and future distributions of such contributions will be made solely in shares of Company common stock, and therefore are not reflected in the plan obligations.
The Company funds the plan obligations through a Company established irrevocable rabbi trust. The assets held in the irrevocable rabbi trust consist primarily of mutual funds and corporate owned life insurance policies, which are measured at fair value, and are intended to align with the deferred compensation obligation investment options selected by plan participants.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The update requires a public business entity to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. Adoption of the ASU allows for either the prospective or retrospective application of the amendment and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company prospectively adopted this guidance on December 31, 2025 and updated its disclosures to conform to this new income tax disclosure requirement.

NOTE 3.CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an accounts receivable balance is confirmed.
81
Management estimates the adequacy of the allowance by using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for estimation of expected credit losses and is adjusted as necessary using the relevant information available. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified one portfolio segment based on the following risk characteristics: geographic regions, product lines, default rates and customer specific factors.
The factors used by management in its credit loss analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, the allowance for credit losses may be overstated or understated and a charge or credit to net income may be required.
The rollforward of the allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows ($ in millions):

NOTE 7. LEASES
The Company has operating leases for office space, warehouses, distribution centers, research and development, manufacturing facilities, equipment and vehicles. Many leases include one or more options to renew, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to 20 years and some leases include options to terminate the lease within 30 days. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and, when the options are reasonably certain of being exercised, they are included in the lease term. In certain of the Company’s lease agreements, the rental payments are adjusted periodically to reflect actual charges incurred for common area maintenance, utilities, inflation and/or changes in other indexes. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for leases of all asset classes where the Company is the lessee. At inception, the Company determines whether an agreement represents a lease and, at commencement, evaluates each lease agreement to determine whether the lease is an operating or finance lease.
Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance, and common area or other maintenance costs for leased facilities and vehicles, which are paid based on actual costs incurred.
The components of operating lease expense for the years ended December 31 were as follows ($ in millions):
Fixed operating lease expense (a) $ 41.4 $ 38.6

NOTE 8. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter of 2025. For goodwill, the Company used a combination of techniques, including an income approach and a market-based approach in performing its annual impairment test to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value amount. The Company’s reporting units are the financial components of operating segments which constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company used the relief from royalty method to estimate the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets.
No goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025. The factors used by management in its impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated and a charge to net income may be required.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges as a result of the Company’s impairment testing during the year ended 2024, whereby the Company recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $960.5 million, with $707.8 million related to its Specialty Products & Technologies segment and $252.7 million related to its Equipment & Consumables segment, and a $101.1 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment related to certain indefinite-lived trade names within the Specialty Products & Technologies segment.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges as a result of the Company’s annual impairment test during the year ended 2023, whereby the Company recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $212.3 million, with $134.5 million related to its Specialty Products & Technologies segment and $77.8 million related to its Equipment & Consumables segment, and a $46.0 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment related to certain indefinite-lived trade names within the Specialty Products & Technologies segment.
The impairment charges described above are recorded in the Goodwill and intangible asset impairment line within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 10. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to partially hedge its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro. The cross-currency swap derivative contracts are agreements to exchange fixed-rate payments in one currency for fixed-rate payments in another currency. On December 23, 2024, the Company extended its existing $150.0 million notional value cross-currency swap derivative contract for an additional three years, which now matures on January 17, 2028. This contract effectively converts a portion of the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated senior term loan facilities to obligations denominated in euros and partially offsets the impact of changes in currency rates on foreign currency denominated net investments.
The Company also has foreign currency denominated debt consisting of a senior euro term loan and euro borrowings under a revolving credit facility. Both the senior euro term loan and the euro borrowings under the revolving credit facility represent a partial hedge of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro and are designated and qualify as non-derivative hedging instruments.
Refer to Note 14 for further discussion of the Company’s debt and credit facilities.
The change in the fair value of the cross-currency swap instrument and the foreign currency translation related to the senior euro term loan and euro borrowings under the revolving credit facility are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investments in foreign operations that is also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as reflected in Note 16.
86
The following table summarizes the notional values as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and pretax impact of changes in the fair values of instruments designated as net investment and cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCI”) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 ($ in millions):
Notional Amount Loss Recognized in OCI
Foreign currency denominated debt $ 528.6 $ (50.8)
Foreign currency contract 150.0 (16.1)
Notional Amount Gain Recognized in OCI
Foreign currency denominated debt $ 362.4 $ 24.0
Foreign currency contract 150.0 9.2
The Company did not reclassify any deferred gains or losses related to its net investment hedge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to income during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. In addition, the Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to its net investment hedge and therefore did not reclassify any portion of the above net investment hedge from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company’s derivative contract designated as a net investment hedge are classified in investing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Additionally, the Company uses foreign currency forward and call option contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk associated with certain foreign denominated balance sheet transactions. These foreign currency forwards and call option contracts are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and therefore the changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into various foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $162.7 million, which had a fair value of zero at December 31, 2025, and matured in January 2026. The realized and unrealized gain (losses) related to forward contracts or call options partially offset the corresponding gains (losses) related to the underlying foreign denominated balance sheet transactions.
The Company’s derivative instrument, as well as its non-derivative debt instrument designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, were classified as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows ($ in millions):
Derivative assets:
Other long-term assets $ — $ 5.9
Derivative liabilities:
Other long-term liabilities $ 10.2 $ —
Non-derivative hedging instruments:
Amounts above related to the Company’s hedged derivative assets expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income during the next 12 months are not significant.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where the Company’s assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
A summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows ($ in millions):
Assets:
Investments in rabbi trust $ 9.2 $ 18.3 $ — $ 27.5
Liabilities:
Cross-currency swap derivative contract $ — $ 10.2 $ — $ 10.2
Deferred compensation plans $ — $ 27.6 $ — $ 27.6
Assets:
Cross-currency swap derivative contract $ — $ 5.9 $ — $ 5.9
Investments in rabbi trust $ 16.0 $ 8.2 $ — $ 24.2
Liabilities:
Deferred compensation plans $ — $ 24.2 $ — $ 24.2
Derivative Instruments
The cross-currency swap is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.The cross-currency swap is measured using the income approach with the relevant foreign currency current exchange rates and forward curves as inputs. Refer to Note 10 for additional information.
Deferred Compensation Plans
Deferred compensation obligations are classified as Level 2 inputs and are derived principally from, or corroborated by observable market data.
The deferred compensation obligations are funded through a Company established irrevocable rabbi trust, which holds investments that primarily consist of mutual funds and corporate owned life insurance policies. The mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices and therefore are classified as Level 1. The corporate owned life insurance policies have cash surrender values (which approximate fair value), that derive their values from investments in mutual funds that are managed by an insurance company, are valued using a market approach and therefore are classified within Level 2. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.
