FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the use of terms such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that DENTSPLY International Inc. (“DENTSPLY” or the “Company”) expects or anticipates will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, and are inherently susceptible to uncertainty, risks, and changes in circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) and elsewhere in this report and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no duty and has no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.
History and Overview
DENTSPLY, a Delaware corporation which dates its history to 1899, believes it is the world's largest designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of consumable dental products for the professional dental market. The Company also manufactures and markets other consumable medical device products. The Company's principal product categories are dental consumable products, dental laboratory products, dental specialty products and consumable medical device products. The Company's worldwide headquarters and executive offices are located in York, Pennsylvania.
Consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content, of the Company's dental products accounted for approximately 88% of DENTSPLY's consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content, for the year ended December 31, 2012. The remaining consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content, is related to consumable medical device products and materials sold to the investment casting industry. The presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, is considered a measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and is therefore considered a non-US GAAP measure. This non-US GAAP measure is discussed further in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a reconciliation of net sales to net sales, excluding precious metal content, is provided.
Throughout 2012, the Company conducted its business through four operating segments. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company realigned reporting responsibilities for multiple locations as a result of changes to the management structure. All of the Company's segments are primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of dental and medical products in four principal product categories: 1) dental consumable products 2) dental laboratory products 3) dental specialty products and 4) consumable medical device products.
The Company conducts its business in the United States of America (“U.S.”), as well as in over 120 foreign countries, principally through its foreign subsidiaries. DENTSPLY has a long-established presence in the European market, particularly in Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Italy and the United Kingdom as well as in Canada . The Company also has a significant market presence in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States ("CIS"), Central and South America and the Pacific Rim.
Geographic Information
For 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company's net sales, excluding precious metal content, to customers outside the U.S., including export sales, accounted for approximately 67%, 66% and 63%, respectively, of consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content. Reference is made to the information about the Company's U.S. and foreign sales by shipment origin set forth in Note 4, Segment and Geographic Information, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.

Dental Consumable Products
Dental consumable products consist of dental sundries and small equipment used in dental offices for the treatment of patients. Net sales of dental consumable products, excluding precious metal content, accounted for approximately 28%, 33% and 35% of the Company's consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
DENTSPLY's dental sundry products in the dental consumable products category include dental anesthetics, prophylaxis paste, dental sealants, impression materials, restorative materials, tooth whiteners and topical fluoride. The Company manufactures thousands of different dental sundry consumable products marketed under more than one hundred brand names.
Small equipment products in the dental consumable products category consist of various durable goods used in dental offices for the treatment of patients. DENTSPLY's small equipment products include high and low speed handpieces, intraoral curing light systems, dental diagnostic systems and ultrasonic scalers and polishers.
Dental Laboratory Products
Dental laboratory products are used in the preparation of dental appliances by dental laboratories. Net sales of dental laboratory products, excluding precious metal content, accounted for approximately 11%, 14% and 16% of the Company's consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
DENTSPLY's products in the dental laboratory products category include dental prosthetics, including artificial teeth, precious metal dental alloys, dental ceramics and crown and bridge materials.

DENTSPLY's products in this category include endodontic (root canal) instruments and materials, implants and related products, bone grafting materials, 3D digital implantology, dental lasers and orthodontic appliances and accessories.
Consumable Medical Device Products
Consumable medical device products consist mainly of urological products including catheters, certain surgical products, medical drills and other non-medical products.

Markets, Sales and Distribution
The Company believes that the market for its products will grow over the long-term based on the following factors:
|
•
|
Increasing worldwide population.
|
|
•
|
Growth of the population 65 or older - The percentage of the U.S., European, Japanese and other regions population over age 65 is expected to nearly double by the year 2030. In addition to having significant needs for dental care and healthcare, the elderly in these regions are well positioned to pay for the required procedures since they control sizable amounts of discretionary income.
|
|
•
|
Natural teeth are being retained longer - Individuals with natural teeth are much more likely to visit a dentist in a given year than those without any natural teeth remaining.
|
|
•
|
The changing dental practice in North America and Western Europe - Dentistry in North America and Western Europe has been transformed from a profession primarily dealing with pain, infections and tooth decay to one with increased emphasis on preventive care and cosmetic dentistry.
|
|
•
|
The demands for patient comfort and ease of product use and handling.
|
|
•
|
Per capita and discretionary incomes are increasing in emerging nations - As personal incomes continue to rise in the emerging nations of the Pacific Rim, CIS and Latin America, healthcare, including dental services, is a growing priority. Many surveys indicate the middle class population will expand significantly within these emerging markets.
|
|
•
|
The Company's business is less susceptible than other industries to general downturns in the economies in which it operates. Many of the products the Company offers relate to dental procedures and health conditions that are considered necessary by patients regardless of the economic environment. Dental specialty products and products that support discretionary dental procedures are the most susceptible to recessionary conditions.
|
DENTSPLY believes that demand in a given geographic market for its dental and medical products vary according to the stage of social, economic and technical development of the particular market. Geographic markets for DENTSPLY's dental and medical products can be categorized into the following two stages of development:
Developed Markets
The U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Australia and certain other countries are highly developed markets that demand the most advanced dental and health products and have the highest level of expenditures for dental and medical care. These markets account for approximately 80% to 85% of the Company's net sales. In these markets, dental care is increasingly focused upon preventive care and specialized dentistry, in addition to basic procedures, such as excavation of teeth and filling of cavities, tooth extraction and denture replacement. These markets require varied and complex dental products, utilize sophisticated diagnostic and imaging equipment and demand high levels of attention to protect against infection and patient cross-contamination. A broader segment of the population in these markets can afford higher end treatments in both dental and medical care.
Developing Markets
In certain countries in Central America, South America, Eastern Europe, Pacific Rim, Middle East and Africa, most dental care is often limited to excavation of teeth and filling of cavities and other restorative techniques, reflecting more modest per capita expenditures for dental and medical care. These markets account for approximately 15% to 20% of the Company's net sales. These markets demand diverse products and broader alternatives to address patient and professional needs. However, there is also a portion of the population in these markets that receive excellent dental and medical care similar to that received in developed countries. As such our higher end products are actively sold into all of these regions.
The Company offers products and equipment for use in markets at both of these stages of development. The Company believes that demand for more technically advanced products will increase as each of these markets develop. The Company also believes that its recognized brand names, high quality and innovative products, technical support services and strong international distribution capabilities position it well, to benefit from opportunities in virtually any market.
5
Dental
DENTSPLY distributes approximately half of its dental products through distributors and importers. However, certain highly technical products such as precious metal dental alloys, dental ceramics, crown and bridge porcelain products, endodontic instruments and materials, orthodontic appliances, implants, and bone substitute and grafting materials are sold directly to the dental laboratory or dental professionals in some markets. During 2012, the Company did not have any single customer that represented ten percent or more of DENTSPLY's consolidated net sales. In both 2011 and 2010, one customer, Henry Schein Incorporated, a dental distributor, accounted for 11% of DENTSPLY's consolidated net sales. No other single customer, represented ten percent or more of DENTSPLY's consolidated net sales during 2011 or 2010.
Although many of its dental sales are made to distributors, dealers and importers, DENTSPLY focuses its marketing efforts on the dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, dental laboratories and dental schools which are the end-users of its products. As part of this end-user “pull through” marketing approach, DENTSPLY employs approximately 3,650 highly trained, product-specific sales and technical staff to provide comprehensive marketing and service tailored to the particular sales and technical support requirements of the distributors, dealers and the end-users. The Company conducts extensive distributor, dealer and end-user marketing programs. Additionally, the Company trains laboratory technicians, dental hygienists, dental assistants and dentists in the proper use of its products and introduces them to the latest technological developments at its educational courses conducted throughout the world. The Company also maintains ongoing relationships with various dental associations and recognized worldwide opinion leaders in the dental field, although there is no assurance that these influential dental professionals will continue to support the Company's products in the future.
Medical
The Company's urology products business operates directly in 15 countries throughout Europe and North America, with distributors in 22 additional markets. The largest markets include Germany, UK, France and Italy. Sales channels target urologists, urology nurses, general practitioners and direct-to-patients.
The surgery products business operates directly in 11 countries throughout Europe and Australia, with distributors in 25 additional markets. The largest markets include UK, Italy and Australia. Sales channels target surgeons, hospital nurses, physiotherapists, hospital purchasing departments and medical supply distributors.
Historical reimbursement levels within Europe are higher for hydrophilic catheters which explain a greater patient usage of hydrophilic products in that market. In the U.S., the reimbursement environment has improved since 2008 as the infection control cost benefits of disposable catheters gain acceptance among payers.
The Company also maintains ongoing relationships with various medical associates, professional and key opinion leaders to help promote our products, although there are no assurances that they will continue to support the Company's products in the future.
Product Development
Technological innovation and successful product development are critical to strengthening the Company's prominent position in the dental and medical markets that it serves. It is also required to maintain and grow its leadership positions in product categories where it has a high market share and to grow market share in other product categories. While many of DENTSPLY's existing products undergo brand extensions, the Company also continues to focus efforts on successfully launching innovative products that represent fundamental change.
New advances in technology are also anticipated to have a significant influence on future products in dentistry and in select areas of healthcare. As a result, the Company pursues research and development initiatives to support this technological development, including collaborations with external research institutions, dental and medical schools. Through its own internal research centers as well as through its collaborations with external research institutions, dental and medical schools, the Company directly invested $85.4 million, $66.7 million and $49.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in connection with the development of new products, improvement of existing products and advances in technology. The continued development of these areas is a critical step in meeting the Company's strategic goal as a leader in defining the future of dentistry and in select areas in health care.
In addition to the direct investment in product development and improvement, the Company also invests in these activities through acquisitions, and by entering into licensing agreements with third parties as well as purchasing technologies developed by third parties.
6
Acquisition Activities
DENTSPLY believes that the dental products industry continues to experience consolidation with respect to both product manufacturing and distribution, although it remains fragmented thereby creating a number of acquisition opportunities. DENTSPLY also seeks to expand its position in consumable medical device products through acquisitions.
The Company views acquisitions as a key part of its growth strategy. These acquisition activities are intended to supplement the Company's core growth and assure ongoing expansion of its business, including new technologies, additional products and geographic breadth.
Operating and Technical Expertise
DENTSPLY believes that its manufacturing capabilities are important to its success. The manufacturing process of the Company's products requires substantial and varied technical expertise. Complex materials technology and processes are necessary to manufacture the Company's products. The Company continues to automate its global manufacturing operations in order to lower costs.
Financing
Information about DENTSPLY's working capital, liquidity and capital resources is provided in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-K.
Competition
The Company conducts its operations, both domestic and foreign, under highly competitive market conditions. Competition in the dental and medical products industries is based primarily upon product performance, quality, safety and ease of use, as well as price, customer service, innovation and acceptance by professionals, technicians and patients. DENTSPLY believes that its principal strengths include its well-established brand names, its reputation for high quality and innovative products, its leadership in product development and manufacturing, its commitment to customer satisfaction and support of the Company's products by dental and medical professionals.
The size and number of the Company's competitors vary by product line and from region to region. There are many companies that produce some, but not all, of the same types of products as those produced by the Company.
Regulation
The Company's products are subject to regulation by, among other governmental entities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). In general, if a dental or medical “device” is subject to FDA regulation, compliance with the FDA's requirements constitutes compliance with corresponding state regulations. In order to ensure that dental and medical products distributed for human use in the U.S. are safe and effective, the FDA regulates the introduction, manufacture, advertising, labeling, packaging, marketing and distribution of, and record-keeping for, such products. The introduction and sale of dental and medical products of the types produced by the Company are also subject to government regulation in the various foreign countries in which they are produced or sold. DENTSPLY believes that it is in substantial compliance with the FDA and foreign regulatory requirements that are applicable to its products and manufacturing operations.
Dental and medical devices of the types sold by DENTSPLY are generally classified by the FDA into a category that renders them subject only to general controls that apply to all medical devices, including regulations regarding alteration, misbranding, notification, record-keeping and good manufacturing practices. In the European Union, DENTSPLY's products are subject to the medical devices laws of the various member states, which are based on a Directive of the European Commission. Such laws generally regulate the safety of the products in a similar way to the FDA regulations. DENTSPLY products in Europe bear the CE mark showing that such products adhere to European regulations.
All dental amalgam filling materials, including those manufactured and sold by DENTSPLY, contain mercury. Various groups have alleged that dental amalgam containing mercury is harmful to human health and have actively lobbied state and federal lawmakers and regulators to pass laws or adopt regulatory changes restricting the use, or requiring a warning against alleged potential risks, of dental amalgams. The FDA's Dental Devices Classification Panel, the National Institute of Health and the U.S. Public Health Service have each indicated that no direct hazard to humans from exposure to dental amalgams has been demonstrated. In response to concerns raised by certain consumer groups regarding dental amalgam, the FDA formed an advisory committee in 2006 to review peer-reviewed scientific literature on the safety of dental amalgam. In July 2009, the FDA concluded its review
7
of dental amalgam, confirming its use as a safe and effective restorative material. Also, as a result of this review, the FDA classified amalgam and its component parts, elemental mercury and powder alloy, as a Class II medical device. Previously there was no classification for encapsulated amalgam and dental mercury (Class I) and alloy (Class II) were classified separately. This new regulation places encapsulated amalgam in the same class of devices as most other restorative materials, including composite and gold fillings, and makes amalgam subject to special controls by FDA. In that respect, FDA recommended that certain information about dental amalgam be provided, which includes information indicating that dental amalgam releases low levels of mercury vapor, that studies on people age six and over and FDA estimated exposures of children under six, have not indicated any adverse health risk associated with the use of dental amalgam. After the FDA issued this regulation, several petitions were filed asking the FDA to reconsider its position. Another advisory panel was established by the FDA to consider these petitions. Hearings of the advisory panel were held in December 2010. The FDA has taken no action as of the filing date of this Form 10-K from this latest advisory panel meeting.
In Europe, particularly in Scandinavia and Germany, the contents of mercury in amalgam filling materials have been the subject of public discussion. As a consequence, in 1994 the German health authorities required suppliers of dental amalgam to amend the instructions for use of amalgam filling materials to include a precaution against the use of amalgam for children less than eighteen years of age and to women of childbearing age. Additionally, some groups have asserted that the use of dental amalgam should be prohibited because of concerns about environmental impact from the disposition of mercury within dental amalgam, which has resulted in the sale of mercury containing products being banned in Sweden and severely curtailed in Norway. DENTSPLY also manufactures and sells non-amalgam dental filling materials that do not contain mercury.
Sources and Supply of Raw Materials and Finished Goods
The Company manufactures the majority of the products sold by the Company. Most of the raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its products are purchased from various suppliers and are typically available from numerous sources. No single supplier accounts for more than 10% of DENTSPLY's requirements.
Intellectual Property
Products manufactured by DENTSPLY are sold primarily under its own trademarks and trade names. DENTSPLY also owns and maintains more than 2,500 patents throughout the world and is licensed under a small number of patents owned by others.
DENTSPLY's policy is to protect its products and technology through patents and trademark registrations both in the U.S. and in significant international markets. The Company carefully monitors trademark use worldwide and promotes enforcement of its patents and trademarks in a manner that is designed to balance the cost of such protection against obtaining the greatest value for the Company. DENTSPLY believes its patents and trademark properties are important and contribute to the Company's marketing position but it does not consider its overall business to be materially dependent upon any individual patent or trademark.
Employees
As of December 31, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries employed approximately 11,900 employees. Of these employees, approximately 3,500 were employed in the United States and 8,400 in countries outside of the United States. Less than 5% of employees in the United States are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Some employees outside of the United States are covered by collective bargaining, union contract or other similar type program. The Company believes that it has a positive relationship with its employees.
Environmental Matters
DENTSPLY believes that its operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Maintaining this level of compliance has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on the Company's capital expenditures or on its business.
Other Factors Affecting the Business
Approximately two-thirds of the Company's sales are located in regions outside the U.S., and the Company's consolidated net sales can be impacted negatively by the strengthening or positively by the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, movements in certain foreign exchange rates may unfavorably or favorably impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
The Company's business is subject to quarterly fluctuations of consolidated net sales and net income. The Company typically
8
implements most of its price changes in the beginning of the first or fourth quarter. Price changes, other marketing and promotional programs as well as the management of inventory levels by distributors and the implementation of strategic initiatives, may impact sales levels in a given period. Sales for the industry and the Company are generally strongest in the second and fourth calendar quarters and weaker in the first and third calendar quarters, due to the effects of the items noted above and due to the impact of summer holidays and vacations, particularly throughout Europe.
The Company maintains short lead times within its manufacturing, as such, the backlog on products is not material to the financial statements.
Securities and Exchange Act Reports
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including the Company, that file electronically with the SEC. The public can obtain any documents that the Company files with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. The Company files annual reports, quarterly reports, proxy statements and other documents with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC at its Public Reference Room at the following address:
The Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street, NE
Washington, D.C. 20549
The public may obtain information on the operation of this Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
DENTSPLY also makes available free of charge through its website at www.DENTSPLY.com its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are filed with or furnished to the SEC.
9
The following are the significant risk factors that could materially impact DENTSPLY's business, financial condition or future results. The order in which these factors appear should not be construed to indicate their relative importance or priority.
Negative changes could occur in the dental markets, the general economic environments, or government reimbursement or regulatory programs of the regions in which the Company operates.
The success of the Company is largely dependent upon the continued strength of dental markets and is also somewhat dependent upon the general economic environments of the regions in which DENTSPLY operates. Negative changes to these markets and economies could materially impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In addition, many of the Company's markets are affected by government reimbursement and regulatory programs. In certain markets, particularly in the European Union, government and regulatory programs have a more significant impact than other markets. Changes to these programs could have a positive or negative impact on the Company's results.
Prolonged negative economic conditions in domestic and global markets may adversely affect the Company's suppliers and customers and consumers, which could harm the Company's financial position.
Prolonged negative changes in domestic and global economic conditions or disruptions of either or both of the financial and credit markets may affect the Company's supply chain and the customers and consumers of the Company's products and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Due to the Company's international operations, the Company is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Due to the international nature of DENTSPLY's business, movements in foreign exchange rates may impact the consolidated statements of operations. With approximately two-thirds of the Company's sales located in regions outside the U.S., and the Company's consolidated net sales are impacted negatively by the strengthening or positively by the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, movements in certain foreign exchange rates may unfavorably or favorably impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Volatility in the capital markets or investment vehicles could limit the Company's ability to access capital or could raise the cost of capital.
Although the Company continues to have positive operating cash flow, a disruption in the credit markets may reduce sources of liquidity available to the Company. The Company relies on multiple financial institutions to provide funding pursuant to existing and/or future credit agreements, and those institutions may not be able to provide funding in a timely manner, or at all, when required by the Company. The cost of or lack of available credit could impact the Company's ability to develop sufficient liquidity to maintain or grow the Company, which in turn may adversely affect the Company's businesses and results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
The Company also manages cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments through various institutions. There may be a risk of loss on investments based on the volatility of the underlying instruments that would not allow the Company to recover the full principal of its investments.
The Company may not be able to access or renew its precious metal consignment facilities resulting in a liquidity constraint equal to the fair market value of the precious metal value of inventory and would subject the Company to inventory valuation risk as the value of the precious metal inventory fluctuates resulting in greater volatility to reported earnings.
The Company's quarterly operating results and market price for the Company's common stock may be volatile.
DENTSPLY experiences fluctuations in quarterly sales and earnings due to a number of factors, many of which are substantially outside of the Company's control, including:
|
•
|
The timing of new product introductions by DENTSPLY and its competitors;
|
|
•
|
Timing of industry tradeshows;
|
|
•
|
Developments in government reimbursement policies;
|
|
•
|
Changes in customer preferences and product mix;
|
|
•
|
The Company's ability to supply products to meet customer demand;
|
|
•
|
Fluctuations in manufacturing costs;
|
10
|
•
|
Changes in income tax laws and incentives which could create adverse tax consequences;
|
|
•
|
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and
|
|
•
|
General economic conditions, as well as those specific to the healthcare and related industries.
|
As a result, the Company may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could cause its stock price to decline. The quarterly fluctuations generally result in net sales and operating profits historically being higher in the second and fourth quarters. The Company typically implements most of its price changes early in the fourth quarter or beginning of the year. These price changes, other marketing and promotional programs, which are offered to customers from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the management of inventory levels by distributors and the implementation of strategic initiatives, may impact sales levels in a given period. Net sales and operating profits generally have been lower in the first and third quarters, primarily due not only to increased sales in the quarters preceding these quarters, but also due to the impact of summer holidays and vacations, particularly throughout Europe.
In addition to fluctuations in quarterly earnings, a variety of other factors may have a significant impact on the market price of DENTSPLY's common stock causing volatility. These factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, the publication of earnings estimates or other research reports and speculation in the press or investment community; changes in the Company's industry and competitors; the Company's financial condition and cash flows; any future issuances of DENTSPLY's common stock, which may include primary offerings for cash, stock splits, issuances in connection with business acquisitions, restricted stock and the grant or exercise of stock options from time to time; general market and economic conditions; and any outbreak or escalation of hostilities in geographical areas the Company does business.
Also, the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that can be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies listed on the NASDAQ. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of the Company's common stock, regardless of actual operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies. This type of litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could harm the Company's business.
The dental supplies market is highly competitive and there is no guarantee that the Company can compete successfully.
The worldwide market for dental supplies is highly competitive. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and market new products successfully, or that new products and technologies introduced by competitors will not render the Company's products obsolete or noncompetitive. Additionally, the size and number of the Company's competitors vary by product line and from region to region. There are many companies that produce some, but not all, of the same types of products as those produced by the Company. Certain of DENTSPLY's competitors may have greater resources than the Company.
The Company may be unable to develop innovative products or obtain regulatory approval for new products.
The market for DENTSPLY's products is characterized by rapid and significant technological change, evolving industry standards and new product introductions. There can be no assurance that DENTSPLY's products will not become noncompetitive or obsolete as a result of such factors or that we will be able to generate any economic return on the Company's investment in product development. If the Company's products or technologies become noncompetitive or obsolete, DENTSPLY's business could be negatively affected.
DENTSPLY has identified new products as an important part of its growth opportunities. There can be no assurance that DENTSPLY will be able to continue to develop innovative products and that regulatory approval of any new products will be obtained from applicable U.S. or international government or regulatory authorities, or that if such approvals are obtained, such products will be favorably accepted in the marketplace. Additionally, there is no assurance that entirely new technology or approaches to dental treatment or competitors' new products will not be introduced that could render the Company's products obsolete.
DENTSPLY may be unable to obtain necessary product approvals and marketing clearances.
DENTSPLY must obtain certain approvals and marketing clearances from governmental authorities, including the FDA and similar health authorities in foreign countries to market and sell its products. These regulatory agencies regulate the marketing, manufacturing, labeling, packaging, advertising, sale and distribution of medical devices, including the export of medical devices to foreign countries.
11
The regulatory review process which must be completed prior to marketing a new medical device may delay or hinder a product's timely entry into the marketplace. There can be no assurance that the review or approval process for these products by the FDA or any other applicable governmental authority will occur in a timely fashion, if at all, or that additional regulations will not be adopted or current regulations amended in such a manner as will adversely affect the Company. The FDA also oversees the content of advertising and marketing materials relating to medical devices which have received FDA clearance. Delays or failure to receive the necessary product approvals from governmental authorities could negatively impact DENTSPLY's operations.
DENTSPLY's business is subject to extensive, complex and changing laws, regulations and orders that failure to comply with could subject us to civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities.
DENTSPLY is subject to extensive laws, regulations and orders which are administered by various international, federal and state governmental authorities, including, among others, the FDA, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury ("OFAC"), the Bureau of Industry and Security of the United States Department of Commerce ("BIS"), the United States Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice and other similar domestic and foreign authorities. These regulations include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar international anti-bribery laws, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, regulations concerning the supply of conflict minerals, various environmental regulations and regulations relating to trade, import and export controls and economic sanctions. Such laws, regulations and orders may be complex and are subject to change.
Compliance with the numerous applicable existing and new laws, regulations and orders could require us to incur substantial regulatory compliance costs. Although the Company has implemented policies and procedures to comply with applicable laws, regulations and orders, there can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not raise compliance concerns or perform audits to confirm compliance with such laws, regulations and orders. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or orders could result in a range of governmental enforcement actions, including fines or penalties, injunctions and/or criminal or other civil proceedings. Any such actions could result in higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated revenue and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
In 2012, the Company received subpoenas from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana (the “USAO”) and from OFAC requesting documents and information related to compliance with export controls and economic sanctions regulations by certain of its subsidiaries. The Company also voluntarily contacted OFAC and BIS regarding compliance with export controls and economic sanctions regulations by certain other business units of the Company identified in an ongoing internal review by the Company. The Company is cooperating with the USAO, OFAC and BIS with respect to these matters.
Challenges may be asserted against the Company's dental amalgam product.
All dental amalgam filling materials, including those manufactured and sold by DENTSPLY, contain mercury.
Some groups have asserted that amalgam should be discontinued because of its mercury content and/or that disposal of mercury containing products may be harmful to the environment. If governmental authorities elect to place restrictions or significant regulations on the sale and/or disposal of dental amalgam, that could have an adverse impact on the Company's sales of dental amalgam. DENTSPLY also manufactures and sells non-amalgam dental filling materials that do not contain mercury.
The Company may be unable to obtain a supply for certain finished goods purchased from third parties.
A significant portion of the Company's injectable anesthetic products, orthodontic products, certain dental cutting instruments, catheters, nickel titanium products and certain other products and raw materials are purchased from a limited number of suppliers and in certain cases single source suppliers, some of which may also compete with the Company. As there are a limited number of suppliers for these products, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate supply of these products and raw materials in the future. Any delays in delivery of or shortages in these products could interrupt and delay manufacturing of the Company's products and result in the cancellation of orders for these products. In addition, these suppliers could discontinue the manufacture or supply of these products to the Company at any time or supply products to competitors. DENTSPLY may not be able to identify and integrate alternative sources of supply in a timely fashion or at all. Any transition to alternate suppliers may result in delays in shipment and increased expenses and may limit the Company's ability to deliver products to customers. If the Company is unable to develop reasonably priced alternative sources in a timely manner, or if the Company encounters delays or other difficulties in the supply or manufacturing of such products and other materials internally or from third parties, the Company's business and results of operation may be harmed.
12
The Company has lost customers of its Orthodontics business due to the disruption in its ability to source certain orthodontic products from its key supplier located in Japan's evacuation area.
One of the Company's key suppliers, which was the source of certain orthodontic products comprising approximately 9% of the Company's 2010 consolidated net sales, excluding precious metal content, was located in the zone that was evacuated following the March 2011 tsunami in Japan. The supplier lost access to its facility and as a result, product supply was severely disrupted through the remainder of 2011. The supplier gradually restored operations in 2012. Although the Company had secured limited alternative sources of supply during the shortage, there is no assurance that customers who turned to other sources of products during the Company's period of product shortages will return to the Company's products.
The Company's expansion through acquisition involves risks and may not result in the expected benefits.
The Company continues to view acquisitions as a key part of its growth strategy. The Company continues to be active in evaluating potential acquisitions although there is no assurance that these efforts will result in completed transactions as there are many factors that affect the success of such activities. If the Company does succeed in acquiring a business or product, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve any of the benefits that it might anticipate from such an acquisition and the attention and effort devoted to the integration of an acquired business could divert management's attention from normal business operations. If the Company makes acquisitions, it may incur debt, assume contingent liabilities or create additional expenses, any of which might adversely affect its financial results. Any financing that the Company might need for acquisitions may only be available on terms that restrict its business or that impose additional costs that reduce its operating results.
The Company may fail to successfully integrate Astra Tech or realize the benefits of the acquisition.
The success of the Company's acquisition of Astra Tech depends upon its ability to realize anticipated benefits from integrating Astra Tech's business into its operations. The Company's ongoing business could be disrupted and management's attention diverted due to integration planning activities and as a result of the actual integration of the two companies following the acquisition. The Company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the integration on a timely basis, or at all.
Changes in or interpretations of, accounting principles could result in unfavorable charges to operations.
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles. Market conditions have prompted accounting standard setters to issue new guidance which further interprets or seeks to revise accounting pronouncements related to financial instruments, structures or transactions as well as to issue new standards expanding disclosures. It is possible that future accounting standards the Company would be required to adopt could change the current accounting treatment applied to the Company's consolidated financial statements and such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
If the Company's goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, the Company may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.
Under US GAAP, the Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Additionally, goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. The valuations used to determine the fair values used to test goodwill or intangible assets are dependent upon various assumptions and reflect management's best estimates. Net sales growth, discount rates, earnings multiples and future cash flows are critical assumptions used to determine these fair values. Slower net sales growth rates in the dental industry, an increase in discount rates, unfavorable changes in earnings multiples or a decline in future cash flows, among other factors, may cause a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of the Company's goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The Company may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in the financial statements during the period in which any impairment of the Company's goodwill or intangible assets is determined.
Changes in or interpretations of, tax rules, operating structures, country profitability mix and regulations may adversely affect the Company's effective tax rates.
The Company is a U.S. based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Unanticipated changes in the Company's tax rates could affect its future results of operations. The Company's future effective tax rates could be unfavorably affected by changes in, or interpretation of, tax rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business, by structural changes in the Company's businesses, by unanticipated decreases in the amount of revenue or earnings in countries with low statutory tax rates, by lapses of the availability of the U.S. research and development tax credit, or by changes
13
in the valuation of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company faces the inherent risk of litigation and claims.
The Company's business involves a risk of product liability and other types of legal actions or claims, including possible recall actions affecting the Company's products. The primary risks to which the Company is exposed are related to those products manufactured by the Company. The Company has insurance policies, including product liability insurance, covering these risks in amounts that are considered adequate; however, the Company cannot provide assurance that the maintained coverage is sufficient to cover future claims or that the coverage will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. Also, other types of claims asserted against the Company may not be covered by insurance. A successful claim brought against the Company in excess of available insurance, or another type of claim which is uninsured or that results in significant adverse publicity against the Company, could harm its business and overall cash flows of the Company.
Various parties, including the Company, own and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights applicable to the dental field. Although the Company believes it operates in a manner that does not infringe upon any third party intellectual property rights, it is possible that a party could assert that one or more of the Company's products infringe upon such party's intellectual property and force the Company to pay damages and/or discontinue the sale of certain products.
Increasing exposure to markets outside of the U.S. and Europe.
We anticipate that sales outside of the U.S. and Europe will continue to expand and account for a significant portion of DENTSPLY's revenue. Operating in such locations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following:
|
•
|
Economic and political instability;
|
|
•
|
Import or export licensing requirements;
|
|
•
|
Trade restrictions;
|
|
•
|
Product registration requirements;
|
|
•
|
Longer payment cycles;
|
|
•
|
Changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs;
|
|
•
|
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
|
|
•
|
Potentially adverse tax consequences; and
|
|
•
|
Potentially weak protection of intellectual property rights.
|
The Company's success is dependent upon its management and employees
.
The Company's success is dependent upon its management and employees. The loss of senior management employees or failure to recruit and train needed managerial, sales and technical personnel, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company may be unable to sustain the operational and technical expertise that is key to its success.
DENTSPLY believes that its manufacturing capabilities are important to its success. The manufacture of the Company's products requires substantial and varied technical expertise. Complex materials technology and processes are necessary to manufacture the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the necessary operational and technical expertise that is key to its success.
The Company may not generate sufficient cash flow to service its debt, pay its contractual obligations and operate the business.
DENTSPLY's ability to make payments on its indebtedness and contractual obligations, and to fund its operations depends on its future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors and the interest rate environment that are beyond its control. Although senior management believes that the Company has and will continue to have sufficient liquidity, there can be no assurance that DENTSPLY's business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service its debt, pay its contractual obligations and operate its business.
The Company may not be able to repay its outstanding debt in the event that cross default provisions are triggered due to a breach of loan covenants.
14
DENTSPLY's existing borrowing documentation contains a number of covenants and financial ratios, which it is required to satisfy. The most restrictive of these covenants pertains to asset dispositions, maintenance of certain levels of net worth, and prescribed ratios of indebtedness to total capital and operating income excluding depreciation and amortization of interest expense. Any breach of any such covenants or restrictions would result in a default under the existing borrowing documentation that would permit the lenders to declare all borrowings under such documentation to be immediately due and payable and, through cross default provisions, would entitle DENTSPLY's other lenders to accelerate their loans. DENTSPLY may not be able to meet its obligations under its outstanding indebtedness in the event that any cross default provisions are triggered.
After closing the Astra Tech acquisition, DENTSPLY has a significant amount of indebtedness. A breach of the covenants under DENTSPLY's debt instruments outstanding from time to time could result in an event of default under the applicable agreement.
In connection with the financing of the acquisition of Astra Tech, the Company incurred additional debt of approximately $1.2 billion. As a consequence, after closing the Acquisition, DENTSPLY has a significant amount of indebtedness. DENTSPLY also has the ability to incur up to $500 million of indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility and may incur significantly more indebtedness in the future.
DENTSPLY's level of indebtedness and related debt service obligations could have negative consequences including:
|
•
|
making it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its obligations with respect to its indebtedness;
|
|
•
|
requiring DENTSPLY to dedicate significant cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness, which would reduce the funds the Company has available for other purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions; and
|
|
•
|
reducing DENTSPLY's flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in its business and market conditions.
|
DENTSPLY's current indebtedness contains a number of covenants and financial ratios, which it is required to satisfy. Under the agreements governing the DENTSPLY's 4.11% Senior Notes due 2016, the Company will be required to maintain a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA of less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00. The Company may need to reduce the amount of its indebtedness outstanding from time to time in order to comply with such ratio, but no assurance can be given that DENTSPLY will be able to do so. DENTSPLY's failure to maintain such ratio or a breach of the other covenants under its debt instruments outstanding from time to time could result in an event of default under the applicable agreement. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related indebtedness and may result in the acceleration of any other indebtedness to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies.
Certain provisions in the Company's governing documents may make it more difficult for third party offerors to acquire DENTSPLY.
Certain provisions of DENTSPLY's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and of Delaware law could have the effect of making it difficult for a third party to acquire control of DENTSPLY. Such provisions include, among others, the division of the Board of Directors of DENTSPLY into three classes, with the three-year term of a class expiring each year, a provision allowing the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock having rights senior to those of the common stock and certain procedural requirements which make it difficult for stockholders to amend DENTSPLY's By-laws and call special meetings of stockholders. In addition, members of DENTSPLY's management and participants in its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) collectively own approximately 4% of the outstanding common stock of DENTSPLY.
Issues related to the quality and safety of the Company's products, ingredients or packaging could cause a product recall resulting in harm to the Company's reputation and negatively impacting the Company's operating results.
The Company's products generally maintain a good reputation with customers and end-users. Issues related to quality and safety of products, ingredients or packaging, could jeopardize the Company's image and reputation. Negative publicity related to these types of concerns, whether valid or not, might negatively impact demand for the Company's products or cause production and delivery disruptions. The Company may need to recall products if they become unfit for use. In addition, the Company could potentially be subject to litigation or government action, which could result in payment of fines or damages. Cost associated with these potential actions could negatively affect the Company's operating results, financial condition and liquidity.
The Company relies heavily on information and technology to operate its business networks, and any disruption to its technology infrastructure or the internet could harm the Company's operations.
DENTSPLY operates many aspects of its business including financial reporting and customer relationship management through
15
server- and web-based technologies, and stores various types of data on such servers or with third-parties who may in turn store it on servers or in the “cloud”. Any disruption to the internet or to the Company's or its service providers' global technology infrastructure, including malware, insecure coding, “Acts of God,” attempts to penetrate networks, data leakage and human error, could pose a threat to the Company's operations. While DENTSPLY has invested and continues to invest in information technology risk management and disaster recovery plans, these measures cannot fully insulate the Company from technology disruptions or data loss and the resulting adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.
None.

The Company defines “constant currency growth” as internal growth plus net acquisition growth.

Management believes that internal growth in the range of 3% to 6% is a long-term targeted rate for the Company. The internal growth rate may vary outside of this range based on economic conditions. Historical trends show that growth in the dental industry generally performs better than the overall economy; however, it typically lags the economic trend going into and coming out of slower growth or recessionary periods. There can be no assurance that the Company's assumptions concerning the growth rates in its markets will continue in the future. If such rates are less than expected, the Company's projected growth rates and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Price changes, other marketing and promotional programs offered to customers from time to time, the management of inventory levels by distributors and the implementation of strategic initiatives may impact sales and inventory levels in a given period.
The Company has a focus on minimizing costs and achieving operational efficiencies. Management continues to evaluate the consolidation of operations or functions to reduce costs. In addition, the Company remains focused on enhancing efficiency through expanded use of technology and process improvement initiatives. The Company believes that the benefits from these initiatives will improve the cost structure and help offset areas of rising costs such as energy, employee benefits and regulatory oversight and compliance.
Product innovation is a key component of the Company's overall growth strategy. New advances in technology are anticipated to have a significant influence on future products in dentistry and consumable medical device markets in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company continues to pursue research and development initiatives to support technological development, including collaborations with various research institutions and dental schools. In addition, the Company licenses and purchases technologies developed by third parties. Although the Company believes these activities will lead to new innovative dental and consumable medical device products, they involve new technologies and there can be no assurance that commercialized products will be developed.
The Company will continue to pursue opportunities to expand the Company's product offerings through acquisitions. Although the professional dental and the consumable medical device markets in which the Company operates has experienced consolidation, it is still a fragmented industry. Management believes that there will continue to be adequate opportunities to participate as a consolidator in the industry for the foreseeable future, however it will be very focused in the near-term on the integration of its recent acquisitions and associated debt reduction.
Impact of the Natural Disaster in Japan and Orthodontic Recovery
The Company's Orthodontic and Japanese businesses have been negatively impacted as a result of the natural disaster that occurred in Japan in March of 2011. The impact for the year ended December 31, 2012 on the Company's sales of orthodontic products was a slight increase in net sales and earnings as compared with 2011, resulting in a positive $0.01 impact to the period's year-over-year earnings per diluted share.
Impact of Foreign Currencies
Due to the international nature of DENTSPLY's business, movements in foreign exchange rates may impact the consolidated statements of operations. With 65% to 70% of the Company's net sales located in regions outside the U.S., the Company's consolidated net sales are impacted negatively by the strengthening or positively by the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, movements in certain foreign exchange rates may unfavorably or favorably impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' data in order to conform to current year presentation. Specifically, during the first quarter of 2012, the Company realigned reporting responsibilities for multiple locations as a result of changes to the management structure. The segment information below reflects the revised structure for all periods shown.

Net Sales
The discussion below summarizes the Company’s sales growth, excluding precious metal content, into the following components: (1) constant currency, which includes internal growth and acquisition growth, and (2) foreign currency
25
translation. These disclosures of net sales growth provide the reader with sales results on a comparable basis between periods.
Management believes that the presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, provides useful information to investors because a significant portion of DENTSPLY’s net sales is comprised of sales of precious metals generated through sales of the Company’s precious metal dental alloy products, which are used by third parties to construct crown and bridge materials. Due to the fluctuations of precious metal prices and because the cost of the precious metal content of the Company’s sales is largely passed through to customers and has minimal effect on earnings, DENTSPLY reports net sales both with and without precious metal content to show the Company’s performance independent of precious metal price volatility and to enhance comparability of performance between periods. The Company uses its cost of precious metal purchased as a proxy for the precious metal content of sales, as the precious metal content of sales is not separately tracked and invoiced to customers. The Company believes that it is reasonable to use the cost of precious metal content purchased in this manner since precious metal dental alloy sale prices are typically adjusted when the prices of underlying precious metals change.
The presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, is considered a measure not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and is therefore considered a non-US GAAP measure. The Company provides the following reconciliation of net sales to net sales, excluding precious metal content. The Company’s definitions and calculations of net sales, excluding precious metal content, and other operating measures derived using net sales, excluding precious metal content, may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 2.7% during 2012 compared to 2011. The gross profit rate was positively impacted by improved product pricing, favorable product mix primarily associated with recent acquisitions as well as a favorable rate impact from changes in foreign currency translation rates offset by higher manufacturing costs. In 2011, the gross profit rate was negatively impacted by approximately two percentage points from expensing inventory for the fair value adjustments associated with acquisitions.

Restructuring and other costs also include $5.2 million related to an impairment of previously acquired technology.
In 2011, these costs were related to expenses associated with the acquisition of Astra Tech of $18.0 million, legal settlement cost of $12.6 million as well as restructuring costs primarily related to the orthodontic business. Also, the Company recorded
27
certain other costs of $1.5 million related to an impairment of an intangible asset.
The benefits associated with the 2011 and
2012
restructuring plans were immaterial to the current period. The Company estimates the future annual savings related to these plans to be in the range of $10 million to $15 million to be realized over the next three to five years. There is no assurance that future savings will be fully achieved.

Provision for Income Taxes
During 2012, the Company entered into various legal entity restructuring activities to complete the integration of the Astra Tech business acquired in August 2011. In addition to the specific tax integration of the Astra Tech subsidiaries with legacy DENTSPLY subsidiaries, the Company also realigned much of its foreign legal entity structure to better align operations and cash management activities. As a part of this restructuring, the Company was able to capture an overall net benefit from anticipated tax losses of $57.7 million. Most of the cash flow benefit from this tax matter, including utilization of an existing credit carryforward of approximately $49.6 million will be realized over the next several years. Also, the Company recognized $12.0 million of tax benefit from a reduction in foreign tax rates and separately recorded a valuation allowance on previously recognized assets of $10.4 million. During 2011, the Company recorded a tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on previously unrecognized tax loss carryforwards of approximately $46.7 million. Further information regarding the details of income taxes is presented in Note 12, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.
28
The Company's effective tax rate for 2012 and 2011 was 2.7% and 4.3%, respectively. In 2012, the Company's effective tax rate included the impact of amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration and restructuring and other costs as well as various income tax adjustments which impacted income before taxes and the provisions for income taxes by $91.7 million and $90.0 million, respectively. In 2011, the Company's effective income tax rate included the impact of acquisition related activity, restructuring and other costs, amortization on purchased intangibles from acquisitions and the release of the valuation allowance and various income tax adjustments, which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $123.8 million and $75.4 million, respectively.
Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliated company
The Company's 17% ownership investment of DIO Corporation resulted in a net loss of $3.3 million on an after-tax basis for 2012. The equity earnings of DIO includes the result of mark-to-market changes related to the derivative accounting for the convertible bonds issued by DIO to DENTSPLY. The Company's portion of the mark-to-market net loss incurred by DIO was approximately $3.1 million. In 2011, equity in net income was $2.4 million on an after-tax basis and the Company's portion of the mark-to-market net gain incurred by DIO was approximately $2.2 million.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
The portion of consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $1.4 million from 2012 to 2011 due to higher earnings.
Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International
In addition to the results reported in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share. These adjusted amounts consist of US GAAP amounts excluding, net of tax (1) acquisition related costs, (2) restructuring and other costs, (3) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (4) Orthodontic business continuity costs, (5) income related to credit risk adjustments, (6) certain fair value adjustments at an unconsolidated affiliated company, and (7) income tax related adjustments. Adjusted earnings per diluted common share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share are considered measures not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and therefore are non-US GAAP measures. These non-US GAAP measures may differ from other companies. Income tax related adjustments may include the impact to adjust the interim effective income tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate.
The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-US GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Operating Segment Results
The Company’s operating businesses are combined into operating groups, which have overlapping product offerings, geographic presence, customer bases, distribution channels and regulatory oversight. These operating groups are considered the Company’s reportable segments as the Company’s chief operating decision-maker regularly reviews financial results at the operating group level and uses this information to manage the Company’s operations. Each of these operating groups covers a wide range of product categories and geographic regions. The product categories and geographic regions often overlap across the groups. Further information regarding the details of each group is presented in Note 4, Segment and Geographic Information, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K. The management of each group is evaluated for performance and incentive compensation purposes on net third party sales, excluding precious metal content, and segment operating income.

Dental Consumable and Laboratory Businesses
Net sales, excluding precious metal content, decreased $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to 2011. On a constant currency basis, net sales, excluding precious metals content, increased 2.6%, which was driven primarily by increased sales in the dental consumable businesses partially offset by lower sales in the dental laboratory businesses.
Operating income increased $17.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011. Operating income was positively impacted by an increase in gross profit of approximately $10 million despite unfavorable currency translation of approximately $13 million, the increase was mainly the result of product mix. SG&A expenses decreased approximately $7 million, primarily due to favorable currency translation.
Orthodontics/Canada/Mexico/Japan
Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased $8.4 million, or 2.9%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011. On a constant currency basis, net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 5.0%. The increase was due to the recovery of the orthodontics business and sales growth in Canada.
Operating income increased $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011.

The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, excluding precious metal content, was 3.8% higher than in 2010. The increase included approximately a full percentage point for acquisition related expenses, legal and other charges in the year. The rate also increased by approximately two percentage points to support the higher cost structure of recent acquisitions and costs to support our orthodontic business as it experienced a significant supply disruption caused by the natural disaster in Japan (also referred to hereafter as “Orthodontic business continuity costs”). The Company also had higher expenses in support of its strong new product launches occurring in many key categories throughout the year.

Net Interest Expense
The change in net interest expense in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily the result of higher average debt levels in the U.S., and lower cash levels resulting from financing the $1.8 billion Astra Tech acquisition utilizing cash of $650.0 million and new debt of $1.2 billion. Interest expense increased $19.2 million due to higher debt levels as a result of the acquisitions and stock repurchases combined with stronger average euro and Swiss franc exchange rates and higher average euro interest rates on the Company's net investment hedges. Interest income increased $5.2 million on interest earned on an investment in convertible
33
bonds and a positive impact relating to credit risk on derivatives versus the prior year. Average interest rates on euro investment balances were 50 basis points higher in the current year than the prior year and the U.S. dollar was 5% weaker against the euro. The impact of the Company's net investment hedges typically move in the opposite direction of currency movements, reducing some of the volatility caused by movement in exchange rates on the Company's income and equity.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense in the 2011 period included approximately $1.7 million of currency transaction losses, $2.9 million of interest rate swap terminations, $3.8 million of Treasury rate lock ineffectiveness, and $0.6 million of other non-operating expense. The 2010 period included approximately $3.3 million of currency transaction losses and $1.5 million of other non-operating income.

Provision for Income Taxes
During 2011, the Company recorded a tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on previously unrecognized tax loss carryforwards of approximately $46.7 million. In addition, the effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the Company's change in the mix of consolidated earnings.
The Company's effective income tax rates for 2011 and 2010 were 4.3% and 25.0%, respectively. In 2011, the Company's effective income tax rate included the impact of acquisition related activity, restructuring and other costs, amortization on purchased intangibles from acquisitions and the release of the valuation allowance and various income tax adjustments, which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $123.8 million and $75.4 million, respectively. In 2010, the Company's effective income tax rate included the impact of restructuring and other costs, acquisition related activity, provisions for a credit risk adjustment to outstanding derivatives and various income tax adjustments, which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $14.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliated company
The Company's 17% ownership investment of DIO Corporation on December 9, 2010 resulted in a net income of $2.4 million on an after-tax basis for 2011. The equity earnings of DIO includes the result of mark-to-market changes related to the derivative accounting for the convertible bonds issued by DIO to DENTSPLY. The Company's portion of the mark-to-market net gain incurred by DIO was approximately $2.2 million. The 2010, equity loss of $1.1 million on an after-tax basis was primarily the result of the mark-to-market loss incurred by DIO.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
The portion of consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $1.3 million from 2010 to 2011, due to higher earnings in 2011.
Net income attributable to DENTSPLY International
In addition to the results reported in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted net income attributable to
34
DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share. These adjusted amounts consist of US GAAP amounts excluding, net of tax (1) acquisition related costs and expensing of purchase price adjustments at an unconsolidated affiliated company, (2) restructuring and other costs, (3) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (4) Orthodontic business continuity costs, (5) income related to credit risk adjustments, (6) certain fair value adjustments at an unconsolidated affiliated company, and (7) income tax related adjustments. Adjusted earnings per diluted common share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share are considered measures not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and therefore are non-US GAAP measures. These non-US GAAP measures may differ from other companies. Income tax related adjustments may include the impact to adjust the interim effective income tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate.
The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-US GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND POLICIES
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix and in some cases, actuarial techniques. The Company evaluates these significant factors as facts and circumstances dictate. Some events as described below could cause results to differ significantly from those determined using estimates. The Company has identified the following accounting estimates as those which are critical to its business and results of operations.
Business Acquisitions
The Company acquires businesses as well as partial interests in businesses. Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires the Company to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values with the excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values recorded as goodwill. The assumptions made in determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities as well as asset lives can materially impact the results of operations.
The Company obtains information during due diligence and through other sources to get respective fair values. Examples of factors and information that the Company uses to determine the fair values include: tangible and intangible asset evaluations and appraisals; evaluations of existing contingencies and liabilities and product line integration information. If the initial valuation for an acquisition is incomplete by the end of the quarter in which the acquisition occurred, the Company will record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. The provisional estimate will be finalized as soon as information becomes available but will only occur up to one year from the acquisition date.
Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Assets
The Company follows the accounting standards for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, which require an annual test for impairment to goodwill using a fair value approach. In addition to minimum annual impairment tests, the Company also requires that impairment assessments be made more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill or indefinite-lived assets might be impaired. If impairment related to goodwill is identified, the resulting charge is determined by recalculating goodwill through a hypothetical purchase price allocation of the fair value and reducing the current carrying value to the extent it exceeds the recalculated goodwill. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

Other Long-Lived Assets
Other long-lived assets, such as definite-lived intangible assets and fixed assets, are amortized or depreciated over their estimated useful lives. In accordance with US GAAP, these assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances provide evidence that suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable based upon an evaluation of the identifiable undiscounted cash flows. If impaired based on the identifiable undiscounted cash flows, the asset's fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow and market participant assumptions. The resulting charge reflects the excess of the asset's carrying cost over its fair value.
Impairment Assessment
Assessment of the potential impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets is an integral part of the Company's normal ongoing review of operations. Testing for potential impairment of these assets is significantly dependent on numerous assumptions and reflects management's best estimates at a particular point in time. The dynamic economic environments in which the Company's businesses operate and key economic and business assumptions with respect to projected selling prices, increased competition and introductions of new technologies can significantly affect the outcome of impairment tests. Estimates based on these assumptions may differ significantly from actual results. Changes in factors and assumptions used in assessing potential impairments can have a significant impact on the existence and magnitude of impairments, as well as the time at which such impairments are recognized. If there are unfavorable changes in these assumptions, particularly changes in the Company's discount rates, earnings multiples and future cash flows, the Company may be required to recognize impairment charges. Information with respect to the Company's significant accounting policies on goodwill and other long-lived assets are included in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.
Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing
Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell a business. The valuation date for annual impairment testing is April 30. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a decline in expected cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition or slower growth rates, among others. It is important to note that fair values that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from those used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.
Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company has several reporting units contained within each operating segment.
The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model ("DCF model") to estimate the current fair value of its reporting units when testing for impairment, as management believes forecasted operating cash flows are the best indicator of such fair value. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including future sales growth, operating margin growth, benefits from restructuring initiatives, tax rates, capital spending, business initiatives, and working capital changes. These assumptions may vary significantly among the reporting units. Operating cash flow forecasts are based on approved business-unit operating plans for the early years and historical relationships and projections in later years. The weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") rate is estimated for geographic regions and applied to the reporting units located within the regions. The Company has not materially changed its methodology for goodwill impairment testing for the years presented. Due to the many variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting unit's fair value and the relative size of the Company's recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the results of the Company's impairment analysis.
The performance of the Company's 2012 annual impairment tests did not result in any impairment of the Company's goodwill. The WACC rates utilized in the 2012 analysis ranged from 8.5% to 10.5%. Excluding the Company's Healthcare reporting unit discussed below, if the fair value of each of the Company's other reporting units had been hypothetically reduced by 5% at April 30, 2012 the fair value of those reporting units would still exceed their net book value. If the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units been hypothetically reduced by 10% at April 30, 2012, one reporting unit within the Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim segment would have a net book value exceeding its fair value by less than $1.0 million. Goodwill for this reporting unit totals $24.1 million. Had the WACC rate of each of the Company's reporting units been hypothetically increased by 50 basis points at April 30, 2012, the fair value of all reporting units except for the Company's Healthcare reporting unit would still exceed their net book value. The Company's Healthcare reporting unit, a component of the Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim operating segment, was created as a part of the Astra Tech acquisition on August 31, 2011. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the business equaled book value with goodwill for the reporting unit totaling $279.0 million. Given the limited
38
time since the acquisition date, the reporting unit fair value approximates the book value of the reporting unit.
Should the Company's analysis in the future indicate an increase in discount rates or a degradation in the overall markets served by these reporting units, it could result in impairment of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. There can be no assurance that the Company's future goodwill impairment testing will not result in a charge to earnings.
Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to lawsuits arising out of their respective operations. The Company records liabilities when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are typically in the form of ranges, and the Company records the liabilities at the low point of the ranges, when no other point within the ranges are a better estimate of the probable loss. The ranges established by management are based on analysis made by internal and external legal counsel who consider information known at the time. If the Company determines a liability to be only reasonably possible, it considers the same information to estimate the possible exposure and discloses any material potential liability. These loss contingencies are monitored regularly for a change in fact or circumstance that would require an accrual adjustment. The Company believes it has estimated liabilities for probable losses well in the past; however, the unpredictability of litigation and court decisions could cause a liability to be incurred in excess of estimates. Legal costs related to these lawsuits are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company's tax expense includes the U.S. and international income taxes plus the provision for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries not deemed to be permanently invested.
The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.
Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized in future years. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. As of December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $179.7 million against the benefit of certain deferred tax assets of foreign and domestic subsidiaries.
The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and in the normal course of business is examined in various jurisdictions. The reversal of accruals is recorded when examinations are completed, statutes of limitation are closed or tax laws are changed.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 were $369.7 million compared to $393.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. Net income increased $71.0 million in the period ended December 31, 2012, which was due to improved operational performance and an additional benefit from a non-cash tax item. Increased net income was offset by working capital uses of $111.7 million in 2012 when compared to 2011, largely from higher inventory and lower accrued liabilities somewhat offset by deferred taxes. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 to $80.1 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the number of days for sales outstanding in accounts receivable improved by one day to 53 days as compared to 54 days in 2011. On a constant currency basis, the number of days of sales in inventory increased by six days at 106 and 100 days for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, most of the increase was associated with Orthodontic products as supply was replenished.
Investing activities during 2012 include capital expenditures of $92.1 million. Investments of $7.4 million relate to the acquisition of a business and contingent payments on previous acquisitions.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had authorization to maintain up to 34.0 million shares of treasury stock under its stock repurchase program as approved by the Board of Directors. Under this program, the Company purchased approximately 1.0 million shares, or approximately 0.7% of average diluted shares outstanding, during 2012 at an average price of $38.90. As of December
39
31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held 20.5 million and 21.1 million shares of treasury stock, respectively. The Company also received proceeds of $34.2 million primarily as a result of 1.4 million stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Total debt decreased by $245.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company repaid $221.8 million of short-term commercial paper using free cash flow. DENTSPLY's long-term debt, including the current portion, at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,472.9 million and $1,491.4 million, respectively. The Company's long-term borrowings decreased by a net of $18.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. This net change included a net decrease in borrowings of $2.1 million during the year ended 2012, plus a decrease of $16.4 million due to exchange rate fluctuations on debt denominated in foreign currencies. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company's ratio of net debt to total capitalization decreased to 39.0% compared to 47.3% at December 31, 2011. DENTSPLY defines net debt as total debt, including current and long-term portions, less cash and cash equivalents and total capitalization as the sum of net debt plus total equity.
On May 18, 2012, the Company extended 56.6 million Swiss francs of maturing cross currency basis swaps until May 18, 2015. This net investment hedge was traded at an exchange rate of approximately 0.93 Swiss franc per U.S. dollar. The Company will receive three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and pay three-month Swiss franc LIBOR minus 37.8 basis points.
On August 21, 2012, the Company's unused $250.0 million 364-day revolving credit facility expired. The $500.0 million five year revolving credit facility which expires July 2016, also serves as a backstop to the commercial paper facility.
On December 20, 2012, the Company dedesignated 160.0 million Swiss francs of its net investment hedges and entered into 81.4 million Swiss francs of new cross currency basis swaps maturing December 27, 2013. The combination of these trades total 241.4 million Swiss francs and offset an intercompany Swiss franc note receivable at a U.S. dollar functional entity that was created by a Swiss franc net dividend of 241.4 million Swiss francs. The dedesignated cross currency swaps mature in April 2013. On January 17, 2013 management extended the hedge to June 2015 with two new forward starting swaps totaling160 million Swiss francs. The Company will pay three-month Swiss franc LIBOR minus 22.1 basis points and receive three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. The hedges amortize and are intended to offset currency revaluation of the intercompany Swiss note receivable for as long as it is outstanding.
On January 10, 2013, the Company entered into 347.8 million euro of cross currency basis swaps maturing at various times between 2015 and 2018 to hedge a balance sheet liability resulting from a legal entity restructuring pursuant to the Company's acquisition integration plans. The hedges have an original exchange rate of approximately 1.32 U.S. dollar per euro and will offset currency revaluation of a euro note payable by a U.S. dollar functional company for as long as it is outstanding. The Company will receive three-month Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") minus 33.2 basis points and pay three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.
On January 17, 2013, the Company extended 295.5 million Swiss francs of cross currency basis swaps maturing in February, March and April of 2013 with five new forward starting swaps totaling 295.5 million Swiss francs maturing in February 2016, March 2017 and April 2018. These net investment hedges were traded at an exchange rate of approximately 0.93 Swiss franc per U.S. dollar which results in additional investment totaling $55.2 million into the hedge value in February, March, and April of 2013. The Company will receive three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and pay three-month Swiss franc LIBOR minus 31.6 basis points.
The Company also has access to $72.4 million in uncommitted short-term financing under lines of credit from various financial institutions. The lines of credit have no major restrictions and are provided under demand notes between the Company and the lending institutions. At December 31, 2012, $3.0 million was outstanding under these short-term lines of credit. At December 31, 2012, the Company had total unused lines of credit related to the revolving credit agreement and the uncommitted short-term lines of credit of $527.4 million.
At December 31, 2012, the Company held $126.6 million of precious metals on consignment from several financial institutions. These consignment agreements allow the Company to acquire the precious metal at market rates at a point in time, which is approximately the same time, and for the same price as alloys are sold to the Company's customers. In the event that the financial institutions would discontinue offering these consignment arrangements, and if the Company could not obtain other comparable arrangements, the Company may be required to obtain third party financing to fund an ownership position in the required precious metal inventory levels.
The following table presents the Company's scheduled contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2012:

Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with the Company's unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012, the Company is unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority; therefore, $18.4 million of the unrecognized tax benefit has been excluded from the contractual obligations table above (See Note 12, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K).
The Company expects on an ongoing basis to be able to finance cash requirements, including capital expenditures in a range of $120 million to $130 million, stock repurchases, debt service, operating leases and potential future acquisitions, from the current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, funds generated from operations and amounts available under its existing credit facilities, which is further discussed in Note 10, Financing Arrangements, to the consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to finance the current portion of long term debt due in 2013 utilizing the available Commercial Paper and the revolving credit facilities. As noted in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this Form 10-K, the Company continues to generate strong cash flows from operations, which is used to finance the Company's activities.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Refer to Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for a discussion of recent accounting guidance and pronouncements.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's major market risk exposures are changing interest rates, movements in foreign currency exchange rates and potential price volatility of commodities used by the Company in its manufacturing processes. The Company's policy is to manage interest rates through the use of floating rate debt and interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate exposures when appropriate, based upon market conditions. The Company employs foreign currency denominated debt and currency swaps which serve to partially offset the Company's exposure on its net investments in subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's policy generally is to hedge major foreign currency transaction exposures through foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are entered into with major financial institutions thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss. In order to limit the unanticipated earnings fluctuations from volatility in commodity prices, the Company selectively enters into commodity swaps to convert variable raw material costs to fixed costs. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company is subject to other foreign exchange market risk exposure in addition to the risks on its financial instruments, such as possible impacts on its pricing and production costs, which are difficult to reasonably predict, and have therefore not been included below.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The gains and losses on these derivative transactions offset the gains and losses generated by the revaluation of the underlying non-functional currency balances. The Company primarily uses forward foreign exchange contracts and cross currency basis swaps to hedge these risks.
41
The Company uses a layered hedging program to hedge select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings of the consolidated Company. The Company accounts for the forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges.
The Company has numerous investments in foreign subsidiaries. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. Currently, the Company uses both non-derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level and cross currency basis swaps to hedge some of this exposure. Translation gains and losses related to the net assets of the foreign subsidiaries are offset by gains and losses in the non-derivative and derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments.
At December 31, 2012, a 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against all other currencies would reduce the fair value asset associated with the forward foreign exchange contracts by approximately $7.7 million and reduce the fair value liability associated with the cross currency basis swaps by approximately $76.3 million.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable interest rate debt to fixed interest rate debt and to convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has three groups of significant interest rate swaps. One of the groups of swaps has notional amounts totaling 12.6 billion Japanese yen, and effectively converts the underlying variable interest rates to an average fixed interest rate of 0.2% for a term of three years, ending in September 2014. Another swap has a notional amount of 65.0 million Swiss francs, and effectively converts the underlying variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate of 0.7% for a term of five years, ending in September 2016. Another swap has a notional amount of $150.0 million to effectively convert the underlying fixed interest rate of 4.1% on a portion of the Company's $250.0 million Private Placement Notes to variable rate for a term of five years, ending February 2016. The interest rates on variable rate term loan debt and commercial paper are consistent with current market conditions, therefore the fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying values.
At December 31, 2012, an increase of 1.0% in the interest rates on the variable interest rate instruments would increase the Company's interest expense by approximately $6.2 million.
Commodity Risk Management
The Company selectively enters into commodity swaps to effectively fix certain variable raw material costs. These swaps are used purely to stabilize the cost of components used in the production of certain of the Company's products. The Company generally accounts for the commodity swaps as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2012, the Company had swaps in place to purchase 758 troy ounces of platinum bullion for use in production at an average fixed rate of $1,571 per troy ounce. In addition, the Company had swaps in place to purchase 56,712 troy ounces of silver bullion for use in production at an average fixed rate of $31 per troy ounce.
At December 31, 2012, a 10% increase in commodity prices would reduce the fair value liability associated with the commodity swaps by approximately $0.3 million.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Consignment Arrangements
The Company consigns the precious metals used in the production of precious metal dental alloy products from various financial institutions. Under these consignment arrangements, the banks own the precious metal, and, accordingly, the Company does not report this consigned inventory as part of its inventory on its consolidated balance sheet. These agreements are cancelable by either party at the end of each consignment period, which typically run for a period of one to nine months; however, because the Company typically has access to numerous financial institutions with excess capacity, consignment needs created by cancellations can be shifted among the other institutions. The consignment agreements allow the Company to take ownership of the metal at approximately the same time customer orders are received and to closely match the price of the metal acquired to the price charged to the customer (i.e., the price charged to the customer is largely a pass through).
As precious metal prices fluctuate, the Company evaluates the impact of the precious metal price fluctuation on its target gross margins for precious metal dental alloy products and revises the prices customers are charged for precious metal dental alloy products accordingly, depending upon the magnitude of the fluctuation. While the Company does not separately invoice customers for the precious metal content of precious metal dental alloy products, the underlying precious metal content is the primary component of the cost and sales price of the precious metal dental alloy products. For practical purposes, if the precious metal
42
prices go up or down by a small amount, the Company will not immediately modify prices, as long as the cost of precious metals embedded in the Company’s precious metal dental alloy price closely approximates the market price of the precious metal. If there is a significant change in the price of precious metals, the Company adjusts the price for the precious metal dental alloys, maintaining its margin on the products.
At
December 31, 2012
, the Company had 186,471 troy ounces of precious metal, primarily gold, platinum, palladium and silver on consignment for periods of less than one year with a market value of $129.8 million. Under the terms of the consignment agreements, the Company also makes compensatory payments to the consignor banks based on a percentage of the value of the consigned precious metals inventory. At
December 31, 2012
, the average annual rate charged by the consignor banks was 0.53%. These compensatory payments are considered to be a cost of the metals purchased and are recorded as part of the cost of products sold.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; 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 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. In addition, 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.
Management of the Company has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2012
. In making its assessment, management used the criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on its assessment management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2012
, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the COSO.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2012
has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of DENTSPLY International Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DENTSPLY International Inc. and its subsidiaries
at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index
appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated
financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and the financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in “Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” appearing under Item 15(a)(1). Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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. In addition, 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.

DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Description of Business
DENTSPLY International Inc. (“DENTSPLY” or the “Company”), designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of consumable dental products for the professional dental market. The Company believes that it is the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of dental prosthetics, endodontic instruments and materials, and ultrasonic scalers; the leading U.S. manufacturer and distributor of denture teeth, dental handpieces, dental x-ray film holders, film mounts and prophylaxis paste; and a leading worldwide manufacturer or distributor of dental injectable anesthetics, impression materials, orthodontic appliances, dental cutting instruments, dental implants and restorative dental materials, dental sealants, and crown and bridge materials. The Company also manufacturers and distributes consumable medical device products consisting mainly of urological catheters and certain surgical products. The Company distributes its products in over
120
countries under some of the most well established brand names in the industry.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company also consolidates all variable interest entities (“VIE”) where the Company has determined that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and shares in either the significant risks or rewards of the VIE. The Company continually reassesses its VIE to determine if consolidation is appropriate. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates (20-50 percent owned companies, joint ventures and partnerships as well as less than 20 percent ownership positions where the Company maintains significant influence over the subsidiary) are accounted for using the equity method.
The accompanying audited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 include the results of operations for Astra Tech AB (“Astra Tech”) for the period September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with banks as well as highly liquid time deposits with maturities at the date of purchase of ninety days or less.
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are highly liquid time deposits with original maturities at the date of purchase greater than ninety days and with remaining maturities of one year or less.
Accounts and Notes Receivable-Trade
The Company sells dental and certain medical products through a worldwide network of distributors and directly to end users. For customers on credit terms, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of those customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral from them. The Company establishes allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company records a provision for doubtful accounts, which is included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
57
Accounts receivable – trade is stated net of these allowances that were
$13.6 million
and
$14.9 million
at
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, respectively. For the years ended
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, the Company wrote-off
$3.8 million
and
$1.4 million
, respectively, of accounts receivable that were previously reserved. The Company increased the provision for doubtful accounts by
$2.4 million
and
$0.5 million
during
2012
and
2011
, respectively.
Additionally, notes receivable – trade is stated net of these allowances that were
$0.9 million
and
$0.9 million
at
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, respectively. The Company recorded provisions for doubtful accounts on notes receivable – trade of
$0.1 million
for
2012
and
$1.0 million
for
2011
. Additionally, the Company wrote-off
$0.2 million
and
$0.9 million
in
2012
and 2011, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. At
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, the cost of
$6.3 million
and
$7.1 million
, respectively, of inventories was determined by the last in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The cost of other inventories was determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. The Company establishes reserves for inventory estimated to be obsolete or unmarketable equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
If the FIFO method had been used to determine the cost of LIFO inventories, the amounts at which net inventories are stated would be higher than reported at
December 31, 2012
and
2011
by
$5.9 million
and
$5.6 million
, respectively.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets
Assessment of the potential impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets is an integral part of the Company's normal ongoing review of operations. Testing for potential impairment of these assets is significantly dependent on assumptions and reflects management's best estimates at a particular point in time. The dynamic economic environments in which the Company's businesses operate and key economic and business assumptions with respect to projected selling prices, increased competition and introductions of new technologies can significantly affect the outcome of impairment tests. Estimates based on these assumptions may differ significantly from actual results. Changes in factors and assumptions used in assessing potential impairments can have a significant impact on the existence and magnitude of impairments, as well as the time at which such impairments are recognized. If there are unfavorable changes in these assumptions, future cash flows, a key variable in assessing the impairment of these assets, may decrease and as a result the Company may be required to recognize impairment charges. Future changes in the environment and the economic outlook for the assets being evaluated could also result in additional impairment charges being recognized. The following information outlines the Company's significant accounting policies on long-lived assets by type.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, during the Company's second quarter, or when indications of potential impairment exist. The Company monitors for the existence of potential impairment throughout the year. This impairment assessment includes an evaluation of various reporting units, which is an operating segment or one reporting level below the operating segment. The Company performs impairment tests using a fair value approach. The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. If impairment is identified on goodwill, the resulting charge is determined by recalculating goodwill through a hypothetical purchase price allocation of the fair value and reducing the current carrying value to the extent it exceeds the
58
recalculated goodwill.
The Company's fair value approach involves using a discounted cash flow model with market-based support as its valuation technique to measure the fair value for its reporting units. The discounted cash flow model uses five-year forecasted cash flows plus a terminal value based on a multiple of earnings. In addition, the Company applies gross profit and operating expense assumptions consistent with its historical trends. The total cash flows were discounted based on market participant data, which included the Company's weighted-average cost of capital. The Company considered the current market conditions when determining its assumptions. Lastly, the Company reconciled the aggregate fair values of its reporting units to its market capitalization, which included a reasonable control premium based on market conditions. Additional information related to the testing for goodwill impairment is provided in Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of tradenames and are not subject to amortization. Valuations of identifiable intangibles assets acquired are based on information and assumptions available at the time of acquisition, using income and market model approaches to determine fair value. In-process research and development assets are not subject to amortization until the product associated with the research and development is substantially complete and is a viable product. At that time, the useful life to amortize the intangible asset is determined by identifying the period in which substantially all the cash flows are expected to be generated and the asset is moved to definite-lived.
These assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an income approach, more specifically a relief from royalty method. Significant management judgment is necessary to determine key assumptions, including projected revenue, royalty rates and appropriate discount rates. Royalty rates used are consistent with those assumed for the original purchase accounting valuation. Other assumptions are consistent with those applied to goodwill impairment testing. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss in the amount equal to the excess is recognized.
Identifiable Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of patents, trademarks, brand names, non-compete agreements and licensing agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Valuations of identifiable intangibles assets acquired are based on information and assumptions available at the time of acquisition, using income and market model approaches to determine fair value.
These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company closely monitors certain intangible assets related to new and existing technologies for indicators of impairment as these assets have more risk of becoming impaired. Impairment is based upon an initial evaluation of the identifiable undiscounted cash flows. If the initial evaluation identifies a potential impairment, a fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flows valuation. If impaired, the resulting charge reflects the excess of the asset’s carrying cost over its fair value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Except for leasehold improvements, depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings - generally
40
years and machinery and equipment -
4
to
15
years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred to the statement of operations; replacements and major improvements are capitalized. These assets groups are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Impairment is based upon an evaluation of the identifiable undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the resulting charge reflects the excess of the asset group’s carrying cost over its fair value.
Marketable Securities
The Company's marketable securities consist of debt instruments that are classified as available-for-sale in “Other noncurrent assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the instruments mature in December 2015. The Company determined the appropriate classification at the time of purchase and will re-evaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. In addition, the Company reviews the securities each quarter for indications of possible impairment. Once identified, the determination of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. The primary factors that the Company
59
considers in classifying the impairment include the extent and time the fair value of each investment has been below cost and the existence of a credit loss. If a decline in fair value is judged other-than-temporary, the basis of the securities is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included as a realized loss.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company records all derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations or accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).
The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments, and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate, fixed rate debt to floating rate, cross currency basis swaps to convert debt denominated in one currency to another currency, and commodity swaps to fix its variable raw materials costs.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Some of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are covered by government or Company-sponsored defined benefit plans. Many of the employees have available to them defined contribution plans. Additionally, certain union and salaried employee groups in the United States are covered by postretirement healthcare plans. Costs for Company-sponsored defined benefit and postretirement benefit plans are based on expected return on plan assets, discount rates, employee compensation increase rates and health care cost trends. Expected return on plan assets, discount rates and health care cost trend assumptions are particularly important when determining the Company’s benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs associated with postretirement benefits. Changes in these assumptions can impact the Company’s earnings before income taxes. In determining the cost of postretirement benefits, certain assumptions are established annually to reflect market conditions and plan experience to appropriately reflect the expected costs as actuarially determined. These assumptions include medical inflation trend rates, discount rates, employee turnover and mortality rates. The Company predominantly uses liability durations in establishing its discount rates, which are observed from indices of high-grade corporate bond yields in the respective economic regions of the plans. The expected return on plan assets is the weighted average long-term expected return based upon asset allocations and historic average returns for the markets where the assets are invested, principally in foreign locations. The Company reports the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on its consolidated balance sheets as a net liability or asset. Additional information related to the impact of changes in these assumptions is provided in Note 13, Benefit Plans.
Accruals for Self-Insured Losses
The Company maintains insurance for certain risks, including workers’ compensation, general liability, product liability and vehicle liability, and is self-insured for employee related healthcare benefits. The Company accrues for the expected costs associated with these risks by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other relevant information. Costs are recognized in the period the claim is incurred, and the financial statement accruals include an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company has stop-loss coverage to limit its exposure to any significant exposure on a per claim basis.
Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to lawsuits arising out of their respective operations. The Company records liabilities when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are typically in the form of ranges, and the Company records the liabilities at the low point of the ranges, when no other point within the ranges are a better estimate of the probable loss. The ranges established by management are based on analysis made by internal and external legal counsel who considers information known at the time. If the Company determines a liability to be only reasonably possible, it considers the same information to estimate the possible exposure and discloses any material potential liability. These loss contingencies are monitored regularly for a change in fact or circumstance that would require an accrual adjustment. The Company believes it has estimated liabilities for probable losses appropriately in the past; however, the unpredictability of litigation and court decisions could cause a liability to be incurred in excess of estimates. Legal costs related to these lawsuits are expensed as incurred.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
AOCI includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, net of the related changes in certain financial instruments hedging these foreign currency investments. In addition, changes in the Company’s fair value of certain derivative financial instruments, net unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale securities and pension liability
60
adjustments and prior service costs, net are recorded in AOCI. These changes are recorded in AOCI net of any related tax adjustments. For the years ended
December 31, 2012
,
2011
and
2010
, these tax adjustments were
$185.6 million
,
$167.5 million
and
$158.7 million
, respectively, primarily related to foreign currency translation adjustments.

The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments included translation gains of
$177.7 million
and
$94.4 million
as of
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, respectively, were offset by losses of
$123.4 million
and
$133.5 million
, respectively, on loans designated as hedges of net investments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for foreign operations, except for those in highly inflationary economies, generally has been determined to be the local currency.
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at foreign exchange rates on the balance sheet date; revenue and expenses are translated at the average year-to-date foreign exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in Equity within AOCI of the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended
December 31, 2012
, the Company had gains of
$10.1 million
on its loans designated as hedges of net investments and translation gains of
$83.3 million
. During the year ended
December 31, 2011
, the Company had losses of
$9.6 million
on its loans designated as hedges of net investments and translation losses of
$200.1 million
.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved and remeasurement adjustments in countries with highly inflationary economies are included in income. Net foreign exchange transaction losses of
$2.7 million
,
$1.7 million
and
$3.3 million
in
2012
,
2011
, and
2010
, respectively, are included in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue, net of related discounts and allowances, is recognized when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when products are shipped to or received by the customer in accordance with the terms of the agreement, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Net sales include shipping and handling costs collected from customers in connection with the sale. Sales taxes, value added taxes and other similar types of taxes collected from customers in connection with the sale are recorded by the Company on a net basis and are not included in the consolidated statement of operations.
Certain of the Company's customers are offered cash rebates based on targeted sales increases. Estimates of rebates are based on the forecasted performance of the customer and their expected level of achievement within the rebate programs. In accounting for these rebate programs, the Company records an accrual as a reduction of net sales as sales take place over the period the rebate is earned. The Company revises the accruals for these rebate programs as actual results and revised forecasts impact the estimated achievement for customers within the rebate programs.
A portion of the Company’s net sales is comprised of sales of precious metals generated through its precious metal dental alloy product offerings. As the precious metal content of the Company’s sales is largely a pass-through to customers, the Company uses its cost of precious metal purchased as a proxy for the precious metal content of sales, as the precious metal content of sales is not separately tracked and invoiced to customers. The Company believes that it is reasonable to use the cost of precious metal content purchased in this manner since precious metal alloy sale prices are typically adjusted when the prices of underlying precious metals change. The precious metals content of sales was
$213.7 million
,
$205.1 million
and
$189.2 million
for
2012
,
2011
and
2010
, respectively.
61
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold represents costs directly related to the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and handling, warehousing and the depreciation of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities. Overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, lease costs, maintenance and property taxes.
Warranties
The Company provides warranties on certain equipment products. Estimated warranty costs are accrued when sales are made to customers. Estimates for warranty costs are based primarily on historical warranty claim experience. Warranty costs are included in “Cost of products sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent costs incurred in generating revenues and in managing the business of the Company. Such costs include advertising and other marketing expenses, salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, research and development, travel, office expenses, lease costs, amortization of capitalized software and depreciation of administrative facilities.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development (“R&D”) costs relate primarily to internal costs for salaries and direct overhead expenses. In addition, the Company contracts with outside vendors to conduct R&D activities. All such R&D costs are charged to expense when incurred. The Company capitalizes the costs of equipment that have general R&D uses and expenses such equipment that is solely for specific R&D projects. The depreciation expense related to this capitalized equipment is included in the Company’s R&D costs. R&D costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and amounted to
$85.4 million
,
$66.7 million
and
$49.4 million
for
2012
,
2011
and
2010
, respectively.
Stock Compensation
The Company recognizes the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions in the financial statements. The cost of share-based payment transactions is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity awards). The compensation cost is only recognized for the portion of the awards that are expected to vest.
Income Taxes
The Company’s tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes plus the provision for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries not deemed to be permanently invested. Tax credits and other incentives reduce tax expense in the year the credits are claimed. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized in future years. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely.
The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the effect of an assumed exercise of all dilutive options outstanding at the end of the period.
62
Business Acquisitions
The Company acquires businesses as well as partial interests in businesses. Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires the Company to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values with the excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values recorded as goodwill. The assumptions made in determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities as well as asset lives can materially impact the results of operations.
The Company obtains information during due diligence and through other sources to establish respective fair values. Examples of factors and information that the Company uses to determine the fair values include: tangible and intangible asset evaluations and appraisals; evaluations of existing contingencies and liabilities and product line information. If the initial valuation for an acquisition is incomplete by the end of the quarter in which the acquisition occurred, the Company will record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. The provisional estimate will be finalized as soon as information becomes available but will only occur up to one year from the acquisition date.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in partnerships, joint ventures and less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for under the equity method.
Equity investments are carried at original cost adjusted for the proportionate share of the investees’ income, losses and distributions. The Company assesses the carrying value of its equity investments when an indicator of a loss in value is present and record a loss in value of the investment when the assessment indicates that an other-than-temporary decline in the investment exists.
The Company classifies its equity in net earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the title of “Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliated company.”
Noncontrolling Interests
The Company reports noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) in a subsidiary as a separate component of Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company reports the portion of net income and comprehensive income (loss) attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also includes a separate column for NCI in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates all VIE where the Company has determined that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and shares in either the significant risks or rewards of the VIE. The Company continually reassesses VIE to determine if consolidation is appropriate. The Company continues to believe that it is the primary beneficiary of one entity under the accounting guidance.
Segment Reporting
The Company has numerous operating businesses covering a wide range of products and geographic regions, primarily serving the professional dental market and to a lesser extent the consumable medical device market. Professional dental products represented approximately
89%
,
93%
, and
97%
of sales in
2012
,
2011
and
2010
, respectively. The Company has four reportable segments and a description of the activities of these segments is included in Note 4, Segment and Geographic Information.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company realigned reporting responsibilities for multiple locations as a result of changes to the management structure. These changes also helped the Company gain operating efficiencies and effectiveness. The segment information below reflects the revised structure for all periods shown.
Fair Value Measurement
Recurring Basis
The Company records certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
63
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments include, derivative instruments whose fair value have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market, or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management's best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Pricing observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities rarely traded or not quoted will generally have less, or no pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value.
The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the Company considers its credit risks and its counterparties' credit risks when determining the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities. The Company has presented the required disclosures in Note 16, Fair Value Measurement.
Non-Recurring Basis
When events or circumstances require an asset or liability to be fair valued that otherwise is generally recorded based on another valuation method, such as, net realizable value, the Company will utilize the valuation techniques described above.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' data in order to conform to current year presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its rules regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The objective of this amendment was to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Specifically, this amendment requires that all non-owner changes in shareholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new rules became effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with the exception of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements, which has been deferred pending further deliberation by the FASB. Because the standard only impacted the presentation of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this accounting standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. This newly issued accounting standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Under the revised standard, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. Prior to the issuance of the revised standard, an entity was required to perform step one of the impairment test at least annually by calculating and comparing the fair value of a reporting
64
unit to its carrying amount. Under the revised standard, if an entity determines that step one is necessary and the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then step two of the test will continue to be required to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. These amendments do not change the current guidance for testing other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this standard for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and it did not impact the Company's financial position or results from operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". This newly issued accounting standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Under the revised standard, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. Prior to the issuance of the revised standard, an entity was required to perform step one of the impairment test at least annually by calculating and comparing the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. Under the revised standard, if an entity determines that step one is necessary and the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then step two of the test will continue to be required to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. This ASU is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company expects to adopt this standard for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the Company's financial position or results from operations.

Business Acquisitions
2012 Acquisitions
The acquisition related activity for the year ended
December 31, 2012
was
$7.4 million
, which was related to
one
acquisition and
one
earn-out payment for a prior period acquisition.
The Company had one acquisition for the year ended
December 31, 2012
. The results of operations for this business have been included in the accompanying financial statements as of the effective date of the respective transactions. The purchase price has been assigned on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This transaction was immaterial to the Company's net sales and net income attributable to DENTSPLY.
2011 Acquisitions
The acquisition related activity for the year ended
December 31, 2011
was
$1.8 billion
, net of cash acquired of
$23.4 million
, was related to
six
acquisitions and
two
earn-out payments for prior period acquisitions.
On
August 31, 2011
, the Company acquired
100%
of the outstanding common shares of Astra Tech using the available cash on hand and debt financing discussed in Note 10, Financing Arrangements. Astra Tech is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of dental implants, customized implant abutments and consumable medical devices in the urology and surgery market segments. The Astra Tech acquisition was recorded in accordance with the business combinations provisions of US GAAP.
The following table summarizes the final fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. This table has been updated in 2012 to reflect the final fair value. The final valuation change resulted in increases to identifiable intangible assets relating mostly to customer relationships and deferred tax liabilities with a decrease to goodwill. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company increased goodwill by
$5.0 million
primarily due to an increase to the purchase price of
$4.3 million
resulting from the finalization of the purchase price with the seller. The Company determined that it was not necessary to retroactively revise prior period financial statements as the changes were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

$80.1 million
and trade accounts payable of
$27.1 million
. Long-term liabilities assumed are primarily comprised of noncurrent deferred tax liabilities of
$260.3 million
and pension obligations of
$53.3 million
.
Inventory held by Astra Tech includes a fair value adjustment of
$32.8 million
. The Company expensed this amount by December 31, 2011 as the acquired inventory was sold.
Property, plant and equipment include a fair value adjustment of $
28.7 million
and consist of land, buildings, plant and equipment. Depreciable lives range
40
years for buildings and from
5
to
15
years for plant and equipment.

The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets were determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method and the multi-period excess earnings method. Both valuation methods rely on management’s judgments, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates as well as other factors.
Useful lives for identifiable intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the identifiable intangible assets that are expected to contribute to future cash flows. The acquired identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible and in-process research and development ("In-process R&D") assets were not assigned lives.

The
$952.1 million
of goodwill is attributable to the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to cost savings and other synergies that the Company expects to realize through operational efficiencies. All of the goodwill has been assigned to the Company's Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Astra Tech contributed net sales of
$207.1 million
and an operating loss of
$18.5 million
to the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the period from
September 1, 2011
to December 31, 2011 and is included in the Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim segment.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company had the Astra Tech acquisition occurred on
January 1, 2010
. These amounts were calculated after conversion to US GAAP, applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting Astra Tech's results to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, inventory and intangible assets had been applied from
January 1, 2010
, together with the consequential tax effects at the statutory rate. These adjustments also reflect the additional interest expense incurred on the debt to finance the acquisition.

The pro forma financial information is based on the Company's final assignment of purchase price of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Astra Tech financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by DENTSPLY. Pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition occurred on
January 1, 2010
. While the Company completed other transactions during the pro forma periods presented above, these transactions were immaterial to the Company's net sales and net income attributable to DENTSPLY.
The Company had additional acquisition related activity for the year ended
December 31, 2011
. The results of operations for this business have been included in the accompanying financial statements as of the effective date of the respective transactions. The purchase prices have been assigned on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities
67
assumed. At
December 31, 2011
, the Company recorded a total of
$9.7 million
in goodwill related to the difference between the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the consideration given. The goodwill is primarily associated with the Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim segment.
For the year ended
December 31, 2011
, in connection with pending or completed acquisitions, the Company had incurred
$44.2 million
of transaction related costs, primarily banking fees and amounts paid to third party advisers.
Investment in Affiliates
On
December 9, 2010
, the Company purchased an initial ownership interest of
17%
of the outstanding shares of DIO Corporation (DIO). The Company accounts for the ownership in DIO under the equity method of accounting as it has significant influence over DIO. In addition, on
December 9, 2010
, the Company invested
$49.7 million
in the corporate convertible bonds of DIO, which may be converted into common shares at any time. The contractual maturity of the bond is in
December 2015
. The bonds are designated by the Company as available-for-sale securities which are reported in, “Other noncurrent assets, net,” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the changes in fair value are reported in AOCI. The convertible feature of the bond has not been bifurcated from the underlying bond as the feature does not contain a net-settlement feature, nor would the Company be able to achieve a hypothetical net-settlement that would substantially place the Company in a comparable cash settlement position. As such, the derivative is not accounted for separately from the bond. The cash paid by the Company is equal to the face value of the bonds issued by DIO, and therefore, the Company has not recorded any bond premium or discount on acquiring the bonds. The fair value of the DIO bond was
$75.1 million
and
$47.8 million
at
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, respectively. At
December 31, 2012
, an unrealized holding gain of $
17.8 million
on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, had been recorded in AOCI. At
December 31, 2011
and
2010
, an unrealized holding loss of
$11.5 million
and an unrealized holding gain of
$11.0 million
, respectively, was recorded on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, in AOCI.
Variable Interest Entities
During 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining share of one VIE, in which it had acquired a minority interest in 2006. This transaction was immaterial to the Company's net sales and net income attributable to DENTSPLY.
The businesses are combined into operating groups, which have overlapping product offerings, geographical presence, customer bases, distribution channels and regulatory oversight. These operating groups are considered the Company’s reportable segments as the Company’s chief operating decision-maker regularly reviews financial results at the operating group level and uses this information to manage the Company’s operations. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described for the consolidated financial statements in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies). The Company measures segment income for reporting purposes as net operating income before restructuring, impairments, and other costs, interest and taxes. Additionally, the operating groups are measured on net third party sales, excluding precious metal content. A description of the services provided within each of the Company’s four reportable segments is provided below. The disclosure below reflects the Company’s segment reporting structure.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company realigned reporting responsibilities for multiple locations as a result of changes to the management structure. These changes also helped the Company gain operating efficiencies and effectiveness. The segment information below reflects the revised structure for all periods shown.
Dental Consumable and Laboratory Businesses
This segment includes responsibility for the design, manufacturing, sales and distribution of certain small equipment and chairside consumable products in the United States, Germany and certain other European regions. It also has responsibility for the sales and distribution of certain Endodontic products in Germany. This segment also includes the responsibility for the design, manufacture, sales and distribution of most dental laboratory products, excluding certain countries. This segment is also responsible for most of the Company’s non-dental business excluding medical products.
Orthodontics/Canada/Mexico/Japan
This segment is responsible for the world-wide manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Company’s Orthodontic products. It also has responsibility for the sales and distribution of most of the Company’s dental products sold in Japan, Canada and Mexico.
Select Distribution Businesses
68
This segment includes responsibility for the sales and distribution for most of the Company's dental products sold in France, United Kingdom, Italy, Austria and certain other European countries, Middle Eastern countries, India and Africa. Operating margins of the segment are reflective of the intercompany transfer price of products manufactured by other operating segments. Operating margins derived by the intercompany manufacture of the products are retained in those operating segments, and are not included in this group.
Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim
This segment includes the responsibility for the design, manufacture, sales and distribution of most of the Company’s dental implant and related products. This segment also includes the responsibility for the design and manufacturing of Endodontic products and is responsible for the sales and distribution of the Company’s Endodontic products in the United States, Switzerland, and locations not covered by other selling divisions. In addition, this business group is also responsible for sales and distribution of certain Endodontic products in Germany, Asia and other parts of the world. Additionally, this segment is responsible for the design and manufacture of certain dental consumables and dental laboratory products and the sales and distribution of most dental products sold in Brazil, Latin America (excluding Mexico), Australia and most of Asia (excluding India and Japan). This segment is also responsible for the world-wide design, manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Company's medical products (non-dental) throughout most of the world.
Significant interdependencies exist among the Company’s operations in certain geographic areas. Inter-group sales are at prices intended to provide a reasonable profit to the manufacturing unit after recovery of all manufacturing costs and to provide a reasonable profit for purchasing locations after coverage of marketing and general and administrative costs.
Generally, the Company evaluates performance of the segments based on the groups’ operating income, excluding restructuring and other costs, and net third party sales, excluding precious metal content.

The Company performed the required annual impairment tests of goodwill as of
April 30, 2012
on
thirteen
reporting units. To determine the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model with market-based support as its valuation technique to measure the fair value for its reporting units. The discounted cash flow model uses five-year forecasted cash flows plus a terminal value based on a multiple of earnings. In addition, the Company applies gross margin and operating expense assumptions consistent with historical trends. The total cash flows were discounted based on a range between
8.5%
to
10.5%
, which included assumptions regarding the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. The Company considered the current market conditions both in the U.S. and globally, when determining its assumptions. Lastly, the Company reconciled the aggregated fair values of its reporting units to its market capitalization, which included a reasonable control premium based on market conditions. As a result of the annual impairment tests of goodwill, no impairment was identified.
Impairments of identifiable definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended
December 31, 2012
,
2011
and
2010
were
$5.2 million
,
$1.5 million
and
$0.4 million
, respectively.

The Company has a
$500.0 million
five-year revolving credit agreement with participation from sixteen banks, which expires in July 2016. The revolving credit agreement contains a number of covenants and two financial ratios, which the Company is required to satisfy. The most restrictive of these covenants pertain to asset dispositions and prescribed ratios of indebtedness to total capital and operating income excluding depreciation and amortization to interest expense. Any breach of any such covenants or restrictions would result in a default under the existing borrowing documentation that would permit the lenders to declare all borrowings under such documentation to be immediately due and payable and, through cross default provisions, would entitle the Company's other lenders to accelerate their loans. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The term loans and private placement notes ("PPN") contain certain affirmative and negative covenants relating to the Company's operations and financial condition. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had total unused lines of credit, including lines available under its short-term arrangements and revolving credit agreement, of
$527.4 million
.

The Company maintains the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which it may grant non-qualified stock options ("NQSO"), incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and stock appreciation rights, collectively referred to as “Awards.” Awards are granted at exercise prices that are equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant. The Company authorized grants under the Plan of
13.0 million
shares of common stock, plus any unexercised portion of cancelled or terminated stock options granted under the DENTSPLY International Inc. 2002 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, subject to adjustment as follows: each January, if
7%
of the total outstanding common shares of the Company exceed
13.0 million
, the excess becomes available for grant under the Plan. No more than
2.5 million
shares may be awarded as restricted stock and RSU, and no key employee may be granted restricted stock and RSU in excess of approximately
0.2 million
shares of common stock in any calendar year. The number of shares available for grant under the 2010 Plan as of
December 31, 2012
is
10.5 million
.
Stock options generally expire
ten
years after the date of grant under these plans and grants become exercisable over a period of
three
years after the date of grant at the rate of one-third per year, except when they become immediately exercisable upon death, disability or qualified retirement. RSU vest
100%
on the third anniversary of the date of grant and are subject to a service condition, which requires grantees to remain employed by the Company during the
three
-year period following the date of grant. In addition to the service condition, certain key executives are subject to performance requirements. Similar to stock options, RSU become immediately exercisable upon death, disability or qualified retirement. The fair value of each RSU assumes that performance goals will be achieved. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation costs is reversed. Under the terms of the RSU, the
three
-year period is referred to as the restricted period. RSU and the rights under the award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, donated, pledged or otherwise disposed of during the three-year restricted period prior to vesting. Upon the expiration of the applicable restricted period and the satisfaction of all conditions imposed, all restrictions imposed on RSU will lapse, and one share of common stock will be issued as payment for each vested RSU.

There were
2.3 million
non-qualified stock options unvested as of
December 31, 2012
. The remaining unamortized compensation cost related to non-qualified stock options is
$13.5 million
, which will be expensed over the weighted average remaining vesting period of the options, or
1.6
years. The unamortized compensation cost related to RSU is
$15.0 million
, which will be expensed over the remaining weighted average restricted period of the RSU, or
1.3
years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option awarded. The following table sets forth the assumptions used to determine compensation cost for the Company’s NQSO issued during the years ended:

In 2010, the Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors reviewed the Company’s practices for NQSO grants and determined that it would be more appropriate to make all regular equity grants in the February time frame, after the Company’s financial results are known for the prior year. Accordingly, there were no grants of NQSO in December 2010, which had been the historic practice.

The Company has fully utilized its foreign tax credit carryforwards as of
December 31, 2012
.
Certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries of the Company have tax loss carryforwards of
$853.3 million
at
December 31, 2012
. Of such losses,
$497.1 million
expire at various times through
2032
, and
$356.2 million
may be carried forward indefinitely. Included in deferred income tax assets as of
December 31, 2012
are tax benefits totaling
$136.5 million
(before valuation allowances) for these tax loss carryforwards. The Company has provided
$118.0 million
of valuation allowance to offset the tax benefit of net operating losses and
$61.7 million
of valuation allowance for other deferred tax assets. The Company has provided these valuation allowances totaling
$179.7 million
due to the uncertainty that these assets can be realized in the future.
The Company has provided federal income taxes on certain undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that the Company anticipates will be repatriated. Deferred federal income taxes have not been provided on
$1.1 billion
of cumulative earnings of foreign subsidiaries that the Company has determined to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on these permanently reinvested earnings.
Tax Contingencies
The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.
81
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at
December 31, 2012
is approximately
$18.4 million
, of this total, approximately
$16.9 million
represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. It is reasonably possible that certain amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Final settlement and resolution of outstanding tax matters in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months could include unrecognized tax benefits of approximately
$1.4 million
.
The total amount of accrued interest and penalties were
$6.1 million
and
$6.9 million
as of
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, respectively. The Company has consistently classified interest and penalties recognized in its consolidated financial statements as income taxes based on the accounting policy election of the Company. During the year ended
December 31, 2012
, the Company recognized income tax benefit of
$0.9 million
in interest and penalties. During the years ended
December 31, 2011
and
2010
, the company recognized income tax expense in the amount of
$0.9 million
and
$0.6 million
for interest and penalties.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The significant jurisdictions include the U.S., Germany and Switzerland. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2009, resulting in the years 2010 and 2011 being subject to future potential tax audit adjustments while years prior to 2010 are settled. The Company has concluded audits in Germany through the tax year 2008. The taxable years that remain open for Switzerland are 2002 through 2011.
The Company had the following activity recorded for unrecognized tax benefits:

The Company has both U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans covering substantially all of our U.S. employees and a portion of our non-U.S. employees. Total costs for Company-sponsored defined benefit, defined contribution and employee stock ownership plans were
$45.7 million
,
$34.6 million
and
$27.4 million
in
2012
,
2011
and
2010
, respectively.
Defined Contribution Plans
The DENTSPLY Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and 401(k) plans are designed to have contribution allocations of eligible compensation, with a targeted
3%
going into the ESOP in Company stock and a targeted
3%
going into the 401(k) as a non-elective contribution in cash. The Company sponsors an employee 401(k) savings plan for its U.S. workforce to which enrolled participants may contribute up to Internal Revenue Service defined limits. The annual expense and cash contribution to the 401(k) is expected to be
$7.6 million
for
2012
(of which
$5.3 million
will be contributed in the first quarter of
2013
), and was
$5.8 million
for
2011
(of which
$4.9 million
was contributed in the first quarter of
2012
), and
$4.6 million
for
2010
(of which
$4.6 million
was contributed in the first quarter of
2011
).
The ESOP is a non-contributory defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of the U.S. based non-union employees of the Company. Contributions to the ESOP, net of forfeitures, are expected to be
$4.6 million
for
2012
(to be contributed in the first quarter of
2013
), and were
$3.6 million
for
2011
(contributed in the first quarter of
2012
), and were
$3.0 million
for
2010
(contributed in the first quarter of
2011
). All future ESOP allocations will come from a combination of forfeited shares and shares acquired in the open market. The Company has targeted future ESOP allocations at
3%
of eligible compensation. The share allocation will be accounted at fair value at the point of allocation, which is normally year-end.
82
In addition to the ESOP and 401(k) plans in the U.S., the Company also maintains various other U.S. and non-U.S. defined contribution and non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Total costs for these plans amounted to
$13.9 million
,
$8.1 million
and
$6.7 million
in
2012
,
2011
and
2010
, respectively.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company maintains a number of separate contributory and non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plans for certain union and salaried employee groups in the United States. Pension benefits for salaried plans are based on salary and years of service; hourly plans are based on negotiated benefits and years of service. Annual contributions to the pension plans are sufficient to satisfy minimum funding requirements. Pension plan assets are held in trust and consist mainly of common stock and fixed income investments. The U.S. plans are funded in excess of the funding required by the U.S. Department of Labor.
In addition to the U.S. plans, the Company maintains defined benefit pension plans for its employees in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan. These plans provide benefits based upon age, years of service and remuneration. Substantially all of the German and Sweden plans are unfunded book reserve plans. Other foreign plans are not significant individually or in the aggregate. Most employees and retirees outside the U.S. are covered by government health plans.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan Assets
The primary investment strategy is to ensure that the assets of the plans, along with anticipated future contributions, will be invested in order that the benefit entitlements of employees, pensioners and beneficiaries covered under the plan can be met when due with high probability. Pension plan assets consist mainly of common stock and fixed income investments. The target allocations for defined benefit plan assets are
30%
to
65%
equity securities,
30%
to
65%
fixed income securities,
0%
to
15%
real estate, and
0%
to
25%
in all other types of investments. Equity securities include investments in companies located both in and outside the U.S. Equity securities do not include common stock of the Company. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, government bonds, mortgage notes and pledge letters. Other types of investments include investments in mutual funds, common trusts, insurance contracts, hedge funds and real estate. These plan assets are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as they are held in trust or other off-balance sheet investment vehicles.
The defined benefit pension plan assets in the U.S. are held in trust and the investment policies of the plans are generally to invest the plans assets in equities and fixed income investments.
The objective is to achieve a long-term rate of return in excess of 5% while at the same time mitigating the impact of investment risk associated with investment categories that are expected to yield greater than average returns.
In accordance with the investment policies of the U.S. plans, the plans assets were invested in the following investment categories: interest-bearing cash, registered investment companies (e.g. mutual funds), common/collective trusts, master trust investment accounts and insurance company general accounts. The investment objective is for assets to be invested in a manner consistent with the fiduciary standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
The defined benefit pension plan assets maintained in Austria, Germany, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Taiwan all have separate investment policies but generally have an objective to achieve a long-term rate of return in excess
4%
while at the same time mitigating the impact of investment risk associated with investment categories that are expected to yield greater than average returns. In accordance with the investment policies for the plans outside the U.S., the plans’ assets were invested in the following investment categories: interest-bearing cash, U.S. and foreign equities, foreign fixed income securities (primarily corporate and government bonds), insurance company contracts, real estate and hedge funds.
Postretirement Healthcare
The Company sponsors postretirement healthcare plans that cover certain union and salaried employee groups in the U.S. and is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually to limit the Company’s contribution for participants who retired after June 1, 1985. The plans for postretirement healthcare have no plan assets. The Company also sponsors unfunded non-contributory postretirement medical plans for a limited number of union employees and their spouses and retirees of a discontinued operation.
Reconciliations of changes in the defined benefit and postretirement healthcare plans’ benefit obligations, fair value of assets and statement of funded status are as follows:

To develop the assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on assets, the Company considered the current level of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the assets are invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocations to develop the assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on assets.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have an impact on the amounts reported for postretirement benefits. A one percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects for the year ended
December 31, 2012

Common Trusts and Hedge Funds:
The investments are valued using the net asset value provided by the administrator of the trust or fund, which is based on the fair value of the underlying securities.
Real Estate:
Investment is stated by its appraised value.
Insurance Contracts:
The value of the asset represents the mathematical reserve of the insurance policies and is calculated by the insurance firms using their own assumptions.
Cash Flows
In
2013
, the Company expects to make contributions and direct benefit payments of

Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs of
$17.8 million
and
$3.1 million
for
2012
and
2011
, respectively, are reflected in "Restructuring and other costs" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the associated liabilities are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These costs consist of employee severance benefits, payments due under operating contracts, and other restructuring costs.
During
2012
, the Company initiated several restructuring plans primarily related to the closure and/or consolidation of certain production and selling facilities in Europe to better leverage the Company’s resources by reducing costs and obtaining operational efficiencies. These restructuring costs were offset by changes in estimates of
$0.8 million
, related to adjustments to
2011
and
2010
and prior plans.
During
2011
, as a result of the impact of the Japan natural disaster, the Company initiated a restructuring plan related to the Orthodontic business during the second quarter. The restructuring plan addressed overhead costs related to the business and has reduced those costs as the Orthodontic business continues to be impacted by the lack of product supply. The Company recorded
$1.7 million
of charges for the year ended
December 31, 2011
for this plan. In addition to the restructuring charges, for the year ended
December 31, 2011
, the Company incurred approximately
$3.3 million
of selling, general and administrative expenses related to costs of maintaining the critical Orthodontic business processes and structures during the lack of product supply.
In addition to the Orthodontic restructuring plans during
2011
, the Company also initiated several restructuring plans primarily related to the closure and/or consolidation of certain production and selling facilities in Europe and South America to better leverage the Company’s resources by reducing costs and obtaining operational efficiencies. The Company incurred
$1.9 million
of costs related to other restructuring plans, offset by income of
$0.5 million
for adjustments to
2010
plans and
2009
and prior plans. These adjustments were primarily related to revised estimates of severance costs.
The benefits associated with the
2011
and
2012
restructuring plans were immaterial to the current period. The Company estimates the future annual savings related to these plans to be in the rang
e of
$10 million
to
$15 million
to
be realized over the next three to five years. There is no assurance that future savings will be fully achieved.
At
December 31, 2012
, the Company’s restructuring accruals were as follows:

Other Costs
For the year ended
December 31, 2012
, the Company recorded other costs of
$7.9 million
, other costs including
$5.2 million
impairments of certain previously acquired technologies and the impact of the U.S. presidential executive order updating trade sanctions. On October 9, 2012, President Obama issued an executive order making it illegal for non-U.S. subsidiaries of U.S. companies to engage in certain transactions involving Iran without a license. The Company reserved appropriate allowances against accounts receivable in its controlled foreign subsidiaries and has discontinued such sales activities. There can be no assurance as to when such sales may be resumed to this region. For the year ended
December 31, 2011
, the Company recorded other costs of
$32.7 million
, which were related to the Astra Tech acquisition, legal settlement costs and impairments of certain previously acquired technology.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of market risks, which primarily include the risks related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as part of its overall risk management program. The objective of this risk management program is to reduce the volatility that these market risks may have on the Company's operating results and equity. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments, or assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to convert variable rate debt to fixed rate and to convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt, cross currency basis swaps to convert debt denominated in one currency to another currency and commodity swaps to fix certain variable raw material costs.
90
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The gains and losses on these derivative transactions offset the gains and losses generated by the revaluation of the underlying non-functional currency balances and are recorded in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company primarily uses forward foreign exchange contracts and cross currency basis swaps to hedge these risks. The Company's significant contracts outstanding at
December 31, 2012
are summarized in the tables that follow.
On
December 20, 2012
, the Company dedesignated
160.0 million
Swiss francs of its net investment hedges and entered into
81.4 million
Swiss francs of new cross currency basis swaps maturing
December 27, 2013
. The combination of these trades total
241.4 million
Swiss francs and offset an inter-company Swiss franc note receivable at a U.S. dollar functional entity that was created by a net dividend of
241.4 million
Swiss francs. The new
81.4 million
Swiss franc swap has an original exchange rate of approximately
.91 Swiss franc per U.S. dollar
. The Company will pay three-month Swiss franc LIBOR minus 34.0 basis points and receive
three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR
. The dedesignated cross currency swaps mature in April 2013. On January 17, 2013, the Company extended the hedge to June 2015 with two new forward starting swaps totaling
160.0 million
Swiss francs. The Company will pay three-month Swiss franc LIBOR minus 22.1 basis points and receive
three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR
. The hedges amortize and are intended to offset currency revaluation of the Swiss franc note receivable for as long as it is outstanding. The change in the value of the swaps will be recorded in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On January 10, 2013, the Company entered into
347.8 million
euros of cross currency basis swaps maturing at various times between 2015 and 2018 to hedge a balance sheet liability resulting from a legal entity restructuring pursuant to the Company's acquisitions integration plans. The hedges have an original exchange rate of approximately
1.32 U.S. dollar per euro
and will offset currency revaluation of a euro denominated note payable by a U.S. dollar functional company for as long as it is outstanding. The Company will receive three-month Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") minus 33.2 basis points and pay
three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR
. The change in the value of the swaps will be recorded in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company wrote put options (“DIO equity option contracts”) to the original sellers of the DIO investment for the remaining DIO common shares held by the seller. The equity options provide the seller the ability to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares on hand at a price based on an agreed-upon formula at specific time frames in the future. The sellers are also allowed to sell their remaining shares on the open market. Changes in the fair value of the DIO equity option contracts are reported in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This derivative is further discussed in Note 16, Fair Value Measurement.
Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company uses a layered hedging program to hedge select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings of the consolidated Company. The Company accounts for the foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the tested effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded on the consolidated statements of operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time value component of the fair value of the derivative is deemed ineffective and is reported currently in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operations in accordance with the Company's policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.
These foreign exchange contracts generally have maturities up to
eighteen
months and the counterparties to the transactions are typically large international financial institutions. The Company's significant contracts outstanding as of
December 31, 2012
are summarized in the table that follows.
Interest Rate Risk Management
91
The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable interest rate debt to fixed interest rate debt. As of
December 31, 2012
, the Company has
two
groups of significant interest rate swaps.
One
of the groups of swaps has notional amounts totaling
12.6 billion
Japanese yen, and effectively converts the underlying variable interest rates to an average fixed interest rate of
0.2%
for a term of three years, ending in
September 2014
. Another swap has a notional amount of
65.0 million
Swiss francs, and effectively converts the underlying variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate of
0.7%
for a term of
five
years, ending in
September 2016
.
The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts infrequently as they are only used to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt instruments and not for speculative purposes. The Company's significant contracts outstanding as of
December 31, 2012
are summarized in the table that follow.
Commodity Risk Management
The Company selectively enters into commodity swaps to effectively fix certain variable raw material costs. These swaps are used purely to stabilize the cost of components used in the production of certain of the Company's products. The Company generally accounts for the commodity swaps as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the tested effectiveness of the commodity swaps. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time value component of the fair value of the derivative is deemed ineffective and is reported currently in “Interest expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operations in accordance with the Company's policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.
At
December 31, 2012
, the Company had
swaps in place to purchase 758 troy ounces
of platinum bullion for use in production at an average fixed rate of
$1,571
per troy ounce. In addition, the Company had
swaps in place to purchase 56,712 troy ounces
of silver bullion for use in production at an average fixed rate of
$31
per troy ounce.

At
December 31, 2012
, deferred net losses on derivative instruments of
$1.7 million
, which were recorded in AOCI, are expected to be reclassified to current earnings during the next
twelve months
. This reclassification is primarily due to the sale of inventory that includes previously hedged purchases and interest rate swaps. The maximum term over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows (for all forecasted transactions, excluding interest payments on variable interest rate debt) is
eighteen months
. Overall, the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are highly effective. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operations in accordance with the Company's policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
The Company has numerous investments in foreign subsidiaries. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. Currently, the Company uses both non-derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level and derivative financial instruments to hedge some of this exposure. Translation gains and losses related to the net assets of the foreign subsidiaries are offset by the spot-to-spot changes in the non-derivative and derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments, which are included in AOCI.
At
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, the Company had Swiss franc-denominated and Japanese yen-denominated debt and cross currency basis swaps denominated in euro and Swiss franc to hedge the currency exposure related to a designated portion of the net assets of its European, Swiss and Japanese subsidiaries. The fair value of the cross currency interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount the Company would (pay) receive at the reporting date, taking into account the effective interest rates and foreign exchange rates. As of
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, the estimated net fair values of the cross currency interest rate swap agreements were liabilities of
$90.7 million
and
$111.9 million
, respectively, which were recorded in accumulated other
93
comprehensive income, net of tax effects. At
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, the accumulated translation loss on investments in foreign subsidiaries, primarily denominated in euros, Swiss francs, Japanese yen and Swedish kronor, net of these net investment hedges, were losses of
$71.4 million
and
$143.7 million
, respectively, which were included in AOCI, net of tax effects.
On January 17, 2013, the Company extended
295.5 million
Swiss francs of cross currency basis swaps maturing in February, March and April 2013 with five new forward starting swaps totaling
295.5 million
Swiss francs maturing in February 2016, March 2017 and April 2018. These net investment hedges were traded at an exchange rate of approximately
.93 Swiss franc per U.S. dollar
which results in additional investment totaling $
55.2 million
into the hedge value in February, March, and April 2013. The Company will receive
three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR
and pay three-month Swiss franc LIBOR minus 31.6 basis points.
The following tables summarize the notional amounts and fair value of the Company's cross currency basis swaps that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations at December 31, 2012:

Fair Value Hedges
Effective
April 4, 2011
, the Company entered into a group of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps with an initial total notional value of
$150.0 million
to effectively convert the underlying fixed interest rate of
4.1%
on the Company's
$250.0 million
PPN to variable rate for a term of
five
years, ending
February 2016
. The notional value of the swaps will decline proportionately as portions of the PPN mature. These interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of the interest rate risk associated with the hedged portion of the fixed rate PPN. Accordingly, the Company will carry the portion of the hedged debt at fair value, with the change in debt and swap offsetting each other in the income statement. At
December 31, 2012
, the estimated net fair value of these interest rate swaps was
$4.5 million
.

The Company records financial instruments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses related to certain financial instruments
97
reflected in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company recognizes certain liabilities at fair value. The Company applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts), prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimated the fair value and carrying value of its total long-term debt, including current portion, was
$1,515.2 million
and
$1,472.9 million
, respectively, at
December 31, 2012
. At
December 31, 2011
, the Company estimated the fair value and carrying value was
$1,512.5 million
and
$1,491.4 million
, respectively. The interest rate on the
$450.0 million
Senior Notes, the
$300.0 million
Senior Notes, and the
$250.0 million
Private Placement Notes are fixed rates of
4.1%
,
2.8%
and
4.1%
, respectively, and their fair value is based on the interest rates as of
December 31, 2012
. The interest rates on variable rate term loan debt and commercial paper are consistent with current market conditions, therefore the fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying values.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at
December 31, 2012
and
2011
, which are classified as “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Prepaid expenses and other current assets,” “Long-Term investments,” “Other noncurrent assets, net,” “Accrued liabilities,” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value as of the balance sheet date are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, future commodities prices and credit risks. The commodity contracts, certain interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are considered cash flow hedges and cross currency interest rate swaps are considered balance sheet or hedges of net investments in foreign operations as discussed in Note 15, Financial Instruments and Derivatives.
The Company uses the income method valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the corporate bonds. The significant unobservable inputs for valuing the corporate bonds are DIO Corporation's stock volatility factor of approximately
40%
and corporate bond rating which implies an approximately
15%
discount rate on the valuation model. Significant observable inputs used to value the corporate bonds include foreign exchange rates and DIO Corporation's period-ending market stock price.
The Company has valued the DIO equity option contracts using a Monte Carlo simulation which uses several estimates and probability assumptions by management including the future stock price, the stock price as a multiple of DIO earnings and the probability of the sellers to reduce their shares held by selling into the open market. Changes in the fair value of the DIO equity option contracts are reported in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Certain purchase agreements for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2009 contain provisions where the seller could receive additional consideration based on the future operating performance of the acquired business. In accordance with US GAAP, the Company has recorded the fair value of these additional payments on the acquisition date. The fair value was based on a probability-weighted average payout discounted using a market rate of approximately
5%
. The fair value is subject to management's estimates at the time of the acquisition and is based upon Level 3 inputs. The fair values of these additional payments are reported in “Other noncurrent liabilities,” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's Level 3 holdings measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs:

Litigation
On June 18, 2004, Marvin Weinstat, DDS and Richard Nathan, DDS filed a class action suit in San Francisco County, California alleging that the Company misrepresented that its Cavitron® ultrasonic scalers are suitable for use in oral surgical procedures.
The Complaint seeks a recall of the product and refund of its purchase price to dentists who have purchased it for use in oral surgery. The Court certified the case as a class action in June 2006 with respect to the breach of warranty and unfair business practices claims. The class that was certified is defined as California dental professionals who, at any time during the period beginning June 18, 2000 through September 14, 2012, purchased and used one or more Cavitron® ultrasonic scalers for the performance of oral surgical procedures on their patients, which Cavitrons® were accompanied at sale by Directions for Use that “Indicated” Cavitron® use for “periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal disease.” The case is pending in the San Francisco County Court. A Class Notice was mailed beginning September 14, 2012.
On December 12, 2006, a Complaint was filed by Carole Hildebrand, DDS and Robert Jaffin, DDS in the Eastern District of
100
Pennsylvania (the Plaintiffs subsequently added Dr. Mitchell Goldman as a named class representative). The case was filed by the same law firm that filed the Weinstat case in California. The Complaint asserts putative class action claims on behalf of dentists located in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The Complaint asserts putative class action claims on behalf of dentists located in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Complaint seeks damages and asserts that the Company's Cavitron® ultrasonic scaler was negligently designed and sold in breach of contract and warranty arising from misrepresentations about the potential uses of the product because it cannot assure the delivery of potable or sterile water. Following dismissal of the case for lack of jurisdiction, the plaintiffs filed a second complaint under the name of Dr. Hildebrand's corporate practice. The Company's motion to dismiss this new complaint was denied and the case will now proceed under the name “Center City Periodontists.”
The Company does not believe a loss is probable related to the above litigation. Further a reasonable estimate of a possible range of loss cannot be made. In the event that one or more of these matters is unfavorably resolved, it is possible the Company's results from operations could be materially impacted.
In 2012, the Company has received subpoenas from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana (the “USAO”) and from the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) requesting documents and information related to compliance with export controls and economic sanctions regulations by certain of its subsidiaries. The Company has voluntarily contacted OFAC and the Bureau of Industry and Security of the United States Department of Commerce (“BIS”), in connection with these matters as well as regarding compliance with export controls and economic sanctions regulations by certain other business units of the Company identified in connection with an ongoing internal review by the Company. The Company is cooperating with the USAO, OFAC and BIS with respect to these matters.
At this stage of the inquiries, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters or what impact, if any, the outcome of these matters might have on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Violations of export control or economic sanctions laws or regulations could result in a range of governmental enforcement actions, including fines or penalties, injunctions and/or criminal or other civil proceedings, which actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. At this time, no claims have been made against the Company.
In addition to the matters disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings incidental to its business. These legal matters primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company's products and services and claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, competition and sales and trading practices, personal injury and insurance coverage. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, divested businesses. Some of these lawsuits may include claims for punitive and consequential, as well as compensatory damages. Based upon the Company's experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
While the Company maintains general, products, property, workers' compensation, automobile, cargo, aviation, crime, fiduciary and directors' and officers' liability insurance up to certain limits that cover certain of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses. In addition, while the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may also be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses.
Purchase and Other Commitments
The Company has no material non-cancelable purchase commitments.
The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers. These agreements generally provide for salary continuation for a specified number of months under certain circumstances. If all of the employees under contract were to be terminated by the Company without cause, as defined in the agreements, the Company's liability would be approximately
$16.4 million
at
December 31, 2012
.
The Company is required to complete the purchase of the remaining shares of one VIE, acquired in 2008, during the first quarter of
2014
. The final purchase price is subject to adjustments but is currently expected to be approximately
62.6 million
euros.
