NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.	General

The Company and its Operations

Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. (“Sirona,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is the leading manufacturer of high-quality, technologically advanced dental equipment, and is focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative systems and solutions for dentists around the world. We offer a broad range of products across all major segments of the dental technology market including CEREC and our other CAD/CAM systems, digital intra oral and 2D and 3D panoramic imaging systems, treatment centers and instruments. The Company acquired Schick Technologies, Inc. (“Schick”) in 2006, in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition (the “Exchange”), further expanding our global presence and product offerings and strengthening our research and development capabilities. On October 1, 2012, Schick was merged with and into a new Sirona subsidiary named Sirona Dental, Inc. (“Sirona Dental”), a Delaware corporation. Sirona has served equipment dealers and dentists worldwide for more than 130 years. The Company’s headquarters are located in Long Island City, New York with its primary facility located in Bensheim, Germany, as well as other support, manufacturing, assembling, and sales and service facilities located around the globe.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the interim period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as applicable to interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or future periods.

All amounts are reported in thousands of U.S. Dollars ($), except per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed.

Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year is October 1 to September 30.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include, after eliminating inter-company transactions and balances, the accounts of Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in associated companies over which the Company has significant influence but does not have effective control.

2.	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Comprehensive Income

On October 1, 2012, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance for reporting comprehensive income (“CI”) (ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income). This new guidance requires that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either (1) in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive statements. As a result, the Company reported all such changes in two separate, consecutive statements: Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (“CI Statement”). The Company previously reported these items in its Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (“Equity Statement”). As a result of adoption, this detailed information was moved from the Equity Statement to the new and separate CI Statement. The details for these items (category and type of change, current period movements, and related tax effects) are reported separately in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. All related disclosures have been adjusted accordingly. Prior year amounts and presentation associated with non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity have been adjusted accordingly to conform to the adoption.

3.	Business Acquisitions

On October 8, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of a technology company that develops and manufactures dental products. The results of its operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since this date. The results were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of total consideration transferred for this acquisition totaled $46.6 million, consisting of cash of $36.7 million, settlements of prior balances, and contingent consideration arrangements. The contingent consideration arrangements require the Company to pay the former owners additional amounts contingent upon revenue milestones. These contingent arrangements provide for payments ranging from $0 up to a total of $13.0 million over the expected life cycle of the company’s major product. The fair value of the contingent arrangements at acquisition date was $5.4 million and will be remeasured through settlement, with changes in fair value recorded in income (amounts included in Note 16). The fair value of the contingent arrangements as of March 31, 2013, was $5.7 million, with the change in fair value of $0.3 million recorded in other (income)/expense in the income statement for the six months ended March 31, 2013.

4.	Employee Share-Based Compensation

ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires that all share based compensation arrangements, including grants of stock option awards to employees, be recognized based on the estimated fair value of the share-based payment award.

Equity Incentive Plan

Stock options, restricted stock shares, restricted stock units (“RSU”), and performance-based stock units (“PSU”) have been issued to employees, directors, and consultants under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan provides for granting in total up to 4,550,000 stock options, incentive stock, restricted stock, RSU’s, and PSU’s. The 2006 Plan received stockholder approval at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 27, 2007, and was amended on February 25, 2009. To cover the exercise of options and vesting of RSU’s and PSU’s, the Company generally issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. As of March 31, 2013, 760,351 shares were available for future grant under the 2006 Plan.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Restricted and Performance-Based Stock Units

In the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted 167,400 RSU’s with an average value of $62.58, representing the average of closing prices of the Company’s common stock at grant dates.

RSU’s and PSU’s generally vest in annual tranches over a period of three to four years. The PSU’s were granted to three executive officers of the Company and vest three years from the date of the grant provided the Company achieves earnings targets specified in the grant. All grants expire ten years after the date of the grant. RSU’s and PSU’s do not have voting rights or rights to dividends prior to vesting. The value of each RSU and PSU grant is determined by the closing price at the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for the entire award is recognized straight-line over the service period of the last separately vesting tranche of the award.

In the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted 154,500 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $63.45 and weighted average fair value of $21.74 at the grant date. Grants generally vest over four years. All grants expire ten years after the date of the grant.

The fair value of options granted under the 2006 Plan were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions in the following table. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Sirona’s stock at the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the Company’s history stock price volatility. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the day of grant and has a term equal to the expected life of the option. The expected life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding based on anticipated grantee behavior. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history of not paying regular dividends in the past and the Company’s current intention not to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

(UNAUDITED)

Aside from normal amortization for the current fiscal year, the change in the value of intangible assets, excluding goodwill and the acquired IPR&D, from September 30, 2012 to March 31, 2013, is mainly attributable to (i) acquired patents and developed technology in connection with the acquisition of a technology company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 with an impact of $10,633 and $3,078, respectively, and (ii) foreign currency fluctuations, with an impact of $ (1,325).

The increase in IPR&D during the period resulted from the acquisition of a technology company. The total fair value of $69.4 million as of March 31, 2013, represents two projects.

For the first project, representing $40.3 million of the total IPR&D as of March 31, 2013, the remaining estimated cost to complete the project was $0.5 million. The project development phase was completed in April, and the first deliveries will begin in May.

For the second project, representing $29.1 million and acquired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the remaining estimated cost to complete the project was $2.3 million as of March 31, 2013. The project is 55% through the development phase; the remaining steps prior to product release are further development, prototype finalization and testing, integration and field testing, and regulatory approvals. The percentage of completion for the full project is 40%, and we anticipate project completion in fiscal year 2014.

Senior Term Loans

New Senior Facilities Agreement

On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior facilities agreement (the “New Senior Facilities Agreement”) with Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors. As of November 16, 2011, Sirona fully repaid its obligations under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement. Initial borrowings under the New Senior Facilities Agreement were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s previous credit facilities.

The New Senior Facilities Agreement includes: (1) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “Facility A Term Loan”) available to Sirona or Sirona Dental, as borrower; (2) a 120 million Euro revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility B”) available to Sirona Dental Systems GmbH and Sirona Dental Services GmbH, as initial borrowers; and (3) a $100 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility C”) available to Sirona or Sirona Dental, as initial borrowers. The Revolving Facility B is available for borrowing in Euro or any other freely available currency agreed to by the facility agent. The facilities are made available on an unsecured basis. Subject to certain limitations, each European guarantor guarantees the performance of each European borrower, except itself, and each U.S. guarantor guarantees the performance of each U.S. borrower, except itself. There are no cross-border guarantees.

Of the amount borrowed under the Facility A Term Loan, 30% is due on November 16, 2015, and the balance is due on November 16, 2016. The loans under the New Senior Facilities Agreement bear interest of EURIBOR, for Euro-denominated loans, and LIBOR for the other loans, plus an initial margin of 160, 85 and 110 basis points for the Facility A Term Loan, Revolving Facility B and Revolving Facility C, respectively.

The New Senior Facilities Agreement contains a margin ratchet. Pursuant to this provision, which applies from March 31, 2012 onwards, the applicable margin varies depending on the Company’s leverage multiple (i.e. the ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA as defined in the New Senior Facilities Agreement) between 160 basis points and 215 basis points for the Facility A Term Loan, 85 basis points and 140 basis points for the Revolving Facility B, and 110 basis points and 165 basis points for the Revolving Facility C.

The New Senior Facilities Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit Sirona’s ability to make loans, to incur additional indebtedness, and to make disposals, subject to agreed-upon exceptions. The Company has agreed to certain financial debt covenants in relation to the financing. The covenants stipulate that the Company must maintain certain ratios in respect of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA. If the Company breaches these covenants, the loans will become repayable on demand.

SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

On November 16, 2011, Sirona entered into 5-year payer interest rate swaps to fully hedge its 3-month LIBOR exposure for the Facility A Term Loan. The terms of the swap reflect the term structure of the underlying loan. The effective nominal interest rate is 1.2775% plus the applicable margin. Settlement of the swaps is required on a quarterly basis.

Debt issuance costs of $2.8 million were incurred in relation to the financing in November 2011 and have been capitalized as deferred charges and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loans.

Prior Senior Facilities Agreement

On November 22, 2006, Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. entered into a Senior Facilities Agreement (the “Prior Senior Facilities Agreement”) as original guarantor, with all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors. Initial borrowings under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement plus excess cash were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s previous credit facilities.

The senior debt repayment tranche originally scheduled for November 24, 2011 was repaid on November 16, 2011 in connection with the Company’s New Senior Facilities Agreement, discussed above. At the Company’s current Debt Cover Ratio, the loans under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement bore interest of EURIBOR, for Euro-denominated loans, and LIBOR for the other loans, plus a margin of 45 basis points for both.

10.

Income Taxes

For the first six months of fiscal year 2013, an estimated effective tax rate of 24% has been applied, which would have resulted in an income tax provision of $23.2 million. The income tax provision for the first six months ended March 31, 2013, was $25.4 million and includes a tax expense of $2.2 million from a non-cash remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from a local trade tax rate increase at our principal German operations, which was enacted in and effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. For the first six months of fiscal year 2012, a 23% estimated effective tax rate was applied, and the actual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2012 was 24%.

The Company’s effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period, and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations, changes in the mix of earnings amongst jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates (including as a result of business acquisitions and dispositions), changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns, tax planning initiatives, tax characteristics of income, as well as the timing and deductibility of expenses for tax purposes. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of lower statutory tax rates on foreign earnings of the Company’s operations outside of the United States. The distribution of lower-taxed foreign earnings to the U.S. would generally increase the Company’s effective tax rate.

With limited exception, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for tax returns filed with respect to periods prior to fiscal year 2009.

The Company makes no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes on undistributed foreign earnings because as of March 31, 2013, it remained management’s intention to continue to indefinitely reinvest such earnings in operations outside of the United States. In making this determination, the Company also evaluates its expected cash requirements in the United States. These foreign earnings relate to ongoing operations and, as of March 31, 2013, the approximate amount of undistributed foreign earnings amounted to $338 million. Because of the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits as well as other factors, it is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategies

Our operations are exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, these risks are managed through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rates on its variable interest rate debt. These fluctuations can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings, depending upon its interest rate exposure. In order to manage this risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, when appropriate, based upon market conditions.

Although the U.S. Dollar is Sirona’s reporting currency, its functional currency varies depending on the country of operation, which exposes the Company to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate movements. The Company’s policy generally is to hedge major foreign currency transaction exposure through foreign exchange forward contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its debt’s variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. These swaps are designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815. Interest rate swaps have been established for 100% of the interest until November 2016. The interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR element of interest payable on 100% of the principal amount of the Facility A Term Loan for defined three month interest periods over the entire term of the loan. The defined interest rates fixed for each three month interest period range from 1.270% to 1.285%. Settlement of the swaps is required on a quarterly basis. 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 Euro is the functional currency for many of Sirona’s subsidiaries, including its primary sales and manufacturing operations in Germany. During the periods under review, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate fluctuated significantly, thereby impacting Sirona’s financial results. In order to manage foreign currency exposures, the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts (USD, AUD, and JPY). The Company enters into forward contracts that are considered to be economic hedges but which are not considered hedging instruments under ASC 815. As of March 31, 2013, these contracts had notional amounts totaling $ 54.4 million. These agreements are relatively short-term (generally six months).

The fair value carrying amount of the Company’s derivative instruments at March 31, 2013 is described in Note 16 Fair Value Measurements.

The following tables summarize the impact of gains and losses from the fair value changes of the Company’s derivative instruments reported in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and the credit risk of the Company and counterparties to the arrangement.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes and prioritizes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The change in the fair value of the business acquisition-related liabilities was $6.0 million, of which $5.7 million resulted from the business acquisition in the current period, and a total for all acquisitions of $0.4 million and $0.7 million was recorded in other (income)/expense in the income statement for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.

In the Company’s March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, derivative assets and derivative liabilities are classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued liabilities and deferred income, respectively.

The Company did not elect the fair value option for any other eligible financial instruments.

Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and certain liabilities related to business acquisitions primarily resulting from earn-out features. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturity and nature of these items. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps is determined by the estimated cash flows of those contracts and swaps. The fair values of the acquisition-related liabilities are based on discounted valuations of commercial assumptions made by Company management of stipulations governed in the underlying purchase agreements.

17.

Segment Reporting

The following tables reflect the results of the Company’s reportable segments under the Company’s management reporting system. The segment performance measure used to monitor segment performance is gross profit (‘‘Segment Performance Measure’’) excluding the impact of the acquisition of control of the Sirona business by Sirona Holdings Luxco S.C.A. (“Luxco”) – the former controlling shareholder, a Luxembourg-based holding entity owned by funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners (“MDP”); Beecken Petty O’Keefe and management of Sirona through a leveraged buyout transaction on June 30, 2005 (the “MDP Transaction”); and the Exchange. This measure is considered by management to better reflect the performance of each segment as it eliminates the need to allocate centrally incurred costs and significant purchase accounting impacts that the Company does not believe are representative of the performance of the segments. Starting in fiscal year 2013, the Electronic Center has been outsourced; therefore, an intercompany elimination is no longer required. Furthermore, the Company monitors performance geographically by region. As the Company manages its business on both a product and a geographical basis, U.S. GAAP requires segmental disclosure based on product information.

Reconciliation of the results of the segment performance measure to the consolidated statements of operations

The following table and discussion provide a reconciliation of the total results of operations of the Company’s business segments under management reporting to the consolidated financial statements. The differences shown between management reporting and U.S. GAAP for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are mainly due to the impact of purchase accounting. Purchase accounting effects are not included in gross profit as the Company does not believe these to be representative of the performance of each segment.

Inter-segment transactions are based on amounts which management believes are approximate to the amounts of transactions with unrelated third parties.

Concentration of Revenue

A substantial portion of our revenue comes from two distributors accounting for more than 10% of revenues. Patterson Companies, Inc. (“Patterson”) accounted for 33% and 27% of our total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Henry Schein, Inc. (“Henry Schein”) accounted for 14% and 17% of our total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Together, these two customers represented 47% and 44% of our total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The accounts receivable from these two customers totaled $ 53,965 and $ 56,764 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These revenues were earned across all segments, with a significant portion of revenues with Patterson being earned in the CAD/CAM and Imaging segments. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues.

Overview

Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. (“Sirona”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is the leading manufacturer of high-quality, technologically advanced dental equipment, and is focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative systems and solutions for dentists around the world. The Company is uniquely positioned to benefit from several trends in the global dental industry, such as technological innovation, increased use of CAD/CAM systems in restorative dentistry, the shift to digital imaging, favorable demographic trends and growing patient focus on dental health and cosmetic appearance. The Company has its headquarters in Long Island City, New York and its largest facility in Bensheim, Germany.

Sirona has a long tradition of innovation in the dental industry. The Company introduced the first dental electric drill approximately 130 years ago, the first dental X-ray unit approximately 100 years ago, the first dental computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system 27 years ago, and numerous other significant innovations in dentistry. Sirona continues to make significant investments in research and development (“R&D”), and its track record of innovative and profitable new products continues today with numerous product launches including: CEREC 4.2 software, CAD/CAM milling units MC X and MC XL Premium, Apollo DI digital imaging system (all launched in March 2013), the Omnicam and Schick 33 (both launched in August 2012), the Orthophos XG 3D imaging unit (launched in March 2011), Sinius treatment center (launched in March 2011), CEREC 4.0 software (launched in March 2011), the Galileos and CEREC combination (launched in September 2009), the CEREC AC unit (launched in January 2009), the Galileos Compact 3D imaging system (launched in July 2008), the TENEO treatment center (launched in July 2008) and the CAD/CAM milling unit MC XL (launched in fiscal year 2007).

Sirona manages its business on both a product and geographic basis and has four segments: Dental CAD/CAM Systems, Imaging Systems, Treatment Centers, and Instruments. Sirona has the broadest product portfolio in the industry, and is capable of fully outfitting and integrating a dental practice. Products from each category are marketed in all geographical sales regions.

The Company’s business has grown substantially over the past five years, driven by numerous high-tech product introductions, a continued expansion of its global sales and service infrastructure, strong relationships with key distribution partners, namely Patterson and Henry Schein, and an international dealer network. Due to the international nature of the Company’s business, movements in global foreign exchange rates have a significant effect on financial results.

The U.S. market is the largest individual market for Sirona, followed by Germany. Between fiscal years 2004 and 2012, the Company increased U.S. revenues from $88.2 million to $284.9 million, driven by innovative products, particularly in the CAD/CAM and Imaging segments and the Schick acquisition. Patterson made a payment of $100 million to Sirona in

July 2005 in exchange for the exclusive distribution rights for CAD/CAM products in the U.S. and Canada until 2017 (the “Patterson Exclusivity Payment”). The amount received was recorded as deferred income and is being recognized on a straight-line basis commencing at the beginning of the extension of the exclusivity period in fiscal year 2008. In May 2012, the Company and Patterson amended and restated the terms of their business relationship set forth in that Distribution Agreement with respect to distribution of certain products throughout the United States; however, it did not amend or restate the business relationship with respect to distribution in Canada. The amendment and restatement of the Distribution Agreement addressed issues related to pricing, termination and annual minimum purchase quotas, and provided growth targets which, if achieved, extend the companies’ exclusivity period.

In addition to strong U.S. market growth, Sirona has pursued expansion in non-U.S. and non-German markets. Between fiscal years 2004 and 2012, the Company increased revenues in non-U.S. and non-German markets from $190.9 million to $535.1 million. To support this growth, Sirona expanded its local presence and distribution channels by establishing sales and service locations e.g. in Japan, Australia, China, South Korea, Italy, France, Brazil, and Russia. The expansion was one of the main contributors to increased market share but also required additional SG&A expenses.

In fiscal year 2012, Sirona revenues increased 12.6% on a constant currency basis over a very strong prior year, where revenues grew 16.4% on a constant currency basis. While Germany was down 9.5% year over year due to a challenging IDS comparison, the Orthophos 2D/3D launch, and a successful CAD/CAM trade-up program, we had our second best year ever in Germany. U.S. revenues increased 11.4%, and momentum continued in our non-European, international markets, showing strong double-digit growth above the company’s average growth rate, led by Asia-Pacific. On a segment basis, Sirona’s revenue was broad based. All segments posted double digit growth rates constant currency, except for Instruments. During the year we expanded our exclusive distribution agreement with Patterson to include all Sirona products for the U.S. market. This enables us to strengthen our go-to-market approach and grow in the U.S. by increasing the focus on the seamless integration of our best-in-class product offerings and digital solutions. Gross profit increased by $40.3 million, which was partially offset by a $18.6 million increase in SG&A expenses. The major driver of the increase in SG&A expenses was the continued strategic expansion of our sales and service infrastructure in key growth markets. As a result, operating income increased 15.4%. Operating income includes a year-over-year decrease in amortization of $7.0 million. Operating cash flow remained strong and increased 12.6%.

At the end of August, we launched our new CEREC Omnicam camera, which further strengthens Sirona’s leadership position in the CAD/CAM market. The Omnicam’s features are particularly notable: video streaming, digitization of jaw structures in their natural color, and powderless scanning of tooth surfaces.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, we posted a record first half year, with revenues up 11.4% on a constant currency basis over a strong first half in fiscal year 2012, where revenues grew 10.2% constant currency. Revenues were exceptionally strong in the U.S., where we grew 21.0%. On a segment basis, we experienced very strong growth in our CAD/CAM segment, where we benefited from the Omnicam launch and as well as a generally increasing demand for products in this segment. During the first quarter of the fiscal year, we experienced capacity constraints due to the ramp up of the Omnicam production; however, the ramp up was completed at the beginning of the second quarter of the fiscal year. Gross profit increased by $33.1 million, which was largely offset by a $23.5 million increase in SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses include $7.3 million related to the Transition Agreement for the former Chairman and CEO, filed as an Exhibit with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on November 16, 2012 (the “Transition Agreement”). The major drivers of the residual increase in SG&A expenses of $16.2 million were the continued strategic expansion of our sales and service infrastructure in key growth markets and expenses related to the biennial International Dental Show (“IDS”) of $3.5 million. As a result, operating income increased 12.7%. Operating income includes a year-over-year decrease in amortization of $4.5 million. Operating cash flow remained very strong and increased 36% over the comparative prior-year period. The IDS in Cologne in mid-March 2013, where we introduced a record 25 new products, was very encouraging, and we expect to benefit from the strong interest in our product portfolio going forward.

Significant Factors that Affect Sirona’s Results of Operations

The MDP Transaction and the Exchange

On June 30, 2005, Sirona Holdings Luxco S.C.A. (‘‘Luxco’’), a Luxembourg-based holding entity owned by funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, Beecken Petty O’Keefe, management and employees of Sirona, obtained control over the Sirona business. The transaction was effected by using new legal entities, Sirona Holding GmbH (formerly Blitz 05-118 GmbH) and its wholly owned subsidiary Sirona Dental Services GmbH, to acquire 100% of the interest in Sirona Dental Systems Beteiligungs- und Verwaltungs GmbH, the former parent of the Sirona business through a leveraged buy-out transaction (the ‘‘MDP Transaction’’). In May 2011, Luxco sold all of its remaining 9,747,480 shares of Sirona common stock pursuant to an underwritten follow-on public offering.

The assets and liabilities acquired in the MDP Transaction and the Exchange were partially stepped up to fair value, and a related deferred tax liability was recorded. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including IPR&D, which were expensed at the date of closing of the MDP Transaction and the Exchange, was allocated to goodwill and is subject to periodic impairment testing.

Sirona’s cost of goods sold, R&D, SG&A expense and operating results have been and will continue to be materially affected by depreciation and amortization costs resulting from the step-up to fair value of Sirona’s assets and liabilities.

Fluctuations in U.S. Dollar/Euro Exchange Rate

Although the U.S. Dollar is Sirona’s reporting currency, its functional currencies vary depending on the country of operation. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, approximately 40 % of Sirona’s revenue and approximately 71 % of its expenses were in Euro. During the periods under review, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate has fluctuated significantly, thereby impacting Sirona’s financial results. Between October 1, 2011 and March 31, 2013, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate used to calculate items included in Sirona’s financial statements varied from a low of $ 1.2094 to a high of $ 1.4155 . Sirona has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to such contracts. As of March 31, 2013, these contracts had notional amounts totaling $ 54.4 million. As these agreements are relatively short-term (generally six months), continued fluctuation in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate could materially affect Sirona’s results of operations.

Certain revenue information above and under “Results of Operations” below is presented on a constant currency basis. This information is a non-GAAP financial measure. Sirona supplementally presents revenue on a constant currency basis because it believes this information facilitates a comparison of Sirona’s operating results from period to period without regard to changes resulting solely from fluctuations in currency rates. Sirona calculates constant currency revenue growth by comparing current period revenues to prior period revenues with both periods converted at the U.S. Dollar/Euro average foreign exchange rate for each month of the current period. The average exchange rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, were $ 1.32086 and $ 1.30884 , respectively, and varied from $ 1.28296 to $ 1.33851 . For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, an average exchange rate converting Euro denominated revenues into U.S. Dollars of $ 1.31098 and $ 1.33027 , respectively, was applied.

Loans made to Sirona under both the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement entered into on November 22, 2006, and the New Senior Facilities Agreement entered into on November 14, 2011, are denominated in the functional currency of the respective borrowers. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion of our Senior Facilities Agreements. However, intra-group loans are denominated in the functional currency of only one of the parties to the loan agreements. Where intra-group loans are of a long-term investment nature, the potential non-cash fluctuations in exchange rates are reflected within other comprehensive income. These fluctuations may be significant in any period due to changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results

Sirona’s quarterly operating results have varied in the past and are likely to vary in the future. These variations result from a number of factors, many of which are substantially outside its control, including:

•

the timing of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors;

•

timing of industry tradeshows, particularly the IDS;

•

changes in relationships with distributors;

•

developments in government reimbursement policies;

•

changes in product mix;

•

our ability to supply products to meet customer demand;

•

fluctuations in manufacturing costs;

•

tax incentives;

•

currency fluctuations; and

•

general economic and political conditions, as well as those specific to the healthcare industry and related industries.

Due to the variations which Sirona has experienced in its quarterly operating results, it does not believe that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations of Sirona are necessarily meaningful or reliable as indicators of future performance.

Effective Tax Rate

Sirona’s effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period and, as a global enterprise, can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations, changes in the mix of earnings amongst jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates (including the result of business acquisitions and dispositions), changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns, tax planning initiatives, tax characteristics of income, changes in exchange rates, as well as the timing and deductibility of expenses for tax purposes.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of lower statutory tax rates on foreign earnings at the Company’s operations outside of the United States. The Company makes no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes on undistributed foreign earnings because, as of March 31, 2013, it remained management’s intention to continue to indefinitely reinvest such earnings in operations outside of the United States. The distribution of lower-taxed foreign earnings to the U.S. would generally increase the Company’s effective tax rate.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $267.3 million, an increase of $35.5 million, or 15.3%, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2012. On a constant currency basis, adjusting for the fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate, total revenue increased by 14.7%. By segment, CAD/CAM Systems increased 21.1% (up 20.6% on a constant currency basis), Treatment Centers increased 17.6% (up 16.7% on a constant currency basis), Imaging Systems increased 11.8% (up 11.3% on a constant currency basis), and Instruments increased 2.9% (up 2.2% on a constant currency basis).

CAD/CAM segment revenues benefited from the Omnicam launch and a generally increasing demand for products in this segment. During the quarter, we successfully ramped up the Omnicam production. In our Treatment Center segment, we continued the above-market growth trajectory. Sales were again particularly strong in Germany, with robust demand for our Sinius treatment center. The growth in the Imaging segment was driven by particularly strong sales in the U.S. and Germany. Overall, we continue to experience robust demand for our 2D and 3D Orthophos products. Revenues in the Instruments segment were up 2.2% constant currency compared to the prior year against a challenging comparison with the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, where Instruments experienced growth of 7.7% on a constant currency basis.

Revenues in the U.S. for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 12.1% compared to the prior-year period. U.S. revenues benefited from strong demand for our Imaging and CAD/CAM products and the expanded agreement with Patterson. Revenue outside the U.S. increased 16.5%. On a constant currency basis, adjusting for the fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate, these revenues increased by 15.7%. Sales in international markets were mainly driven by our CAD/CAM and Treatment Center segments compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Revenue growth on a constant currency basis was mainly volume and product mix driven. Prices in general remained stable, with the exception of pricing pressure in Imaging product lines.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $122.6 million, an increase of $15.4 million, or 14.4%, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 54.1% compared to 53.8% in the prior year period. Cost of sales included amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $9.2 million as well as non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $11.0 million and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Excluding these amounts, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 42.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with 41.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and therefore gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 57.6%, compared to 58.5% in the prior year period. The decrease in the gross profit margin was mainly due to product mix.

Gross Profit

We use gross profit, excluding the impacts of the MDP Transaction and the Exchange, to monitor segment performance. By segment, gross profit developed in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 as follows: Imaging Systems increased 16.8%, CAD/CAM Systems increased 16.7%, Treatment Centers increased 16.7%, and Instruments decreased by 10.5%. The CAD/CAM segment gross profit benefited from the strong increase in sales; however, the gross profit margin was below the prior year. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly driven by product mix as the share of Omnicam to total sales increases. The increase in the Imaging segment gross profit and gross profit margin was driven by higher sales and a favorable product mix. The increase in the Treatment Center segment gross profit was driven by increased volume. The slight decrease in this segment’s gross profit margin was mainly due to product mix. Gross profit and gross profit margin for the Instruments segment were below the prior year level. This decrease in gross profit margin was mainly driven by lower hygiene product sales and the increased ratio of lower-end handpieces. For more information, see Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for revenues and gross profit by segment for each of the fiscal periods under report.

Selling, General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, SG&A expense was $84.0 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 15.6%, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2012. SG&A expense included amortization and depreciation resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $0.6 million as well as other non-cash share-based compensation expense in the amount of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Excluding the above amounts, as a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense was 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with 30.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the quarter, we continued to implement our strategy to invest in the expansion of our sales and service infrastructure to capitalize on opportunities to gain market share and build up our presence in key growth markets. SG&A expense for the quarter also included $3.5 million of costs for the biennial IDS.

Research and Development

R&D expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $15.1 million, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase was mainly driven by the timing of projects, particularly in preparation for the biennial IDS in March where we launched a record 25 new products.

R&D expense included non-cash share-based compensation expense in the amount of $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Excluding this amount, as a percentage of revenue, R&D expense decreased to 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 5.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

(Gain)/Loss on Derivative Instruments

The loss of $2.6 million on derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a gain of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. In both periods, the loss and gain, respectively, related to unrealized non-cash gains and losses on foreign currency hedges.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $0.8 million, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income Tax Provision

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Sirona recorded a profit before income taxes of $42.4 million and $40.5 million, respectively. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, was $10.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The estimated effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 24.0% and compares to an effective tax rate of 23.0% applied for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and an actual effective tax rate of 24.0% in fiscal year 2012. The estimated effective tax rate is primarily driven by the expected mix of earnings across different jurisdictions.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $32.2 million, an increase of $1.1 million, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2012. Major influencing factors on net income were (i) the increase in gross profit, mainly due to increased sales, (ii) an increase in SG&A expense due to expenses related to the IDS of $3.5 million and continued investments in the expansion of our global sales and service infrastructure, (iii) an increase in research and development costs in preparation for the IDS, where we introduced a record 25 new products, and (iv) losses in the total amount of $4.0 million from foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of intangible and tangible assets related to past business combinations (i.e. the Exchange and the MDP Transaction—deal related amortization and depreciation) of $ 9.8 million ($7.4 million net of tax), a foreign currency loss on the deferred income from the Patterson exclusivity payment of $1.3 million ($1.0 million net of tax), and a loss on the revaluation of short-term intra-group loans of $2.5 million ($1.9 million net of tax).

Sirona’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included deal related amortization and depreciation of assets acquired in past business combinations of $ 11.7 million ($9.0 million net of tax), currency revaluation gain on the Patterson exclusivity payment of $1.7 million ($1.3 million after tax), and a gain on the revaluation of short-term intra-group loans of $2.3 million ($1.8 million net of tax).

Share-based compensation expense was $2.3 million ($1.7 million net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $2.2 million ($1.7 million net of tax) in the prior year period.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $539.7 million, an increase of $49.8 million, or 10.2%, as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2012. On a constant currency basis, adjusting for the fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate, total revenue increased by 11.4%. By segment, CAD/CAM Systems increased 17.3% (up 18.5% on a constant currency basis), Treatment Centers increased 10.6% (up 12.4% on a constant currency basis), Imaging Systems increased 6.7% (up 7.7% on a constant currency basis), and Instruments decreased 1.7% (down 0.1% on a constant currency basis).

CAD/CAM segment revenues grew 18.5% on a constant currency basis and benefited from the Omnicam launch and a generally increasing demand for products in this segment. Sales growth was mainly driven by the U.S. and non-European markets. In our Treatment Center segment, we continued the above-market growth trajectory. Sales were particularly strong in Germany and non-European markets. Demand for our Sinius treatment center continued to be robust. The Imaging segment was up 7.7% on a constant currency basis over a very challenging prior-year comparison, where we grew 15.4% on a constant currency basis. Sales were particularly strong in the U.S., and we continue to experience robust demand for our 2D and 3D Orthophos products. Revenues in the Instruments segment were slightly below the prior year against a challenging comparison with the first half of the prior fiscal year, where Instruments experienced growth of 5.5% (8.1% on a constant currency basis).

Revenues in the U.S. for the six months ended March 31, 2013 were exceptionally strong, with an increase of 21.0% compared to the prior-year period. U.S. revenues benefited from strong demand for our Imaging and CAD/CAM products, the expanded agreement with Patterson, as well as the impact from the implementation of the Medical Device Tax in 2013 and anticipated changes in tax benefits. Revenue outside the U.S. increased by 6.1%. On a constant currency basis, adjusting for the fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate, these revenues increased by 7.8%. Sales in international markets were particularly strong in our CAD/CAM segment and Treatment Center segments.

Revenue growth on a constant currency basis was mainly volume driven. Prices in general remained stable, with the exception of pricing pressure in the Imaging product lines.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $243.2 million, an increase of $16.6 million, or 7.3%, as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 54.9% compared to 53.8% in the prior year period. Cost of sales included amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $18.2 million as well as non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.07 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 compared to amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets of $22.3 million and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.06 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Excluding these amounts, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 41.7% for both the six months ended March 31, 2013 and the six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and therefore gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 58.3% for both the current and prior-year periods. The stable gross profit margin compared with the six month ended March 31, 2012 was mainly due to product and regional mix.

Gross Profit

We use gross profit, excluding the impacts of the MDP Transaction and the Exchange, to monitor segment performance. By segment, gross profit developed in the six months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2012 as follows: CAD/CAM Systems increased 14.9%, Imaging Systems increased 11.8%, Treatment Centers increased 9.6%, and Instruments decreased by 9.7%. The CAD/CAM segment gross profit benefited from the increase in sales; however, gross profit margin was below the prior year due to the increasing ratio of Omnicam to total sales. The increase in the Imaging segment gross profit and gross profit margin was driven by higher sales and favorable product and regional mix. The increase in the Treatment Center segment gross profit was driven by increased volume. The slight decrease in this segment’s gross profit margin was mainly due to product mix. Gross profit and gross profit margin for the Instruments segment were below the prior year level. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly driven by a challenging year-over-year comparison, lower hygiene product sales, and handpiece product mix. For more information, see Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for revenues and gross profit by segment for each of the fiscal periods under report.

Selling, General and Administrative

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, SG&A expense was $169.8 million, an increase of $23.5 million, or 16.0%, as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2012.

The loss of $1.2 million on derivative instruments for the six months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a gain of $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. In both periods, these amounts related to unrealized non-cash gains and losses on foreign currency hedges.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2013, was $1.8 million, compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Income Tax Provision

For the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Sirona recorded a profit before income taxes of $96.7 million and $90.9 million, respectively. The income tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, was $25.4 and $20.9 million, respectively. The income tax provision as of March 31, 2013, includes the effect from a local trade tax increase at our principal German operations, which was enacted in and effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. This tax rate change primarily involved a non-cash remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which resulted in a tax expense of $2.2 million. Excluding this amount, the estimated effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2013 was 24.0% and compares to an effective tax rate of 23.0% applied for the first half of fiscal 2012 and an actual effective tax rate of 24.0% in fiscal year 2012. The estimated effective tax rate is primarily driven by the expected mix of earnings across different countries.

Net Income

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $71.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million, as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2012. Major influencing factors on net income were (i) the increase in gross profit, mainly due to increased sales, (ii) a gain from a patent infringement settlement, (iii) an increase in SG&A expense due to the expenses related to the Transition Agreement for the former Chairman and CEO of $7.3 million, which includes a $3.8 million non-cash charge for the modification of share-based awards, expenses related to the IDS of $3.5 million, and continued investments in the expansion of our global sales and service infrastructure, (iv) an increase in research and development costs in preparation for the IDS, where we introduced a record 25 new products, and (iv) losses in the total amount of $7.2 million from foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2013 included amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of intangible and tangible assets related to past business combinations (i.e. the Exchange and the MDP Transaction—deal related amortization and depreciation) of $ 19.4 million ($14.7 million net of tax), a foreign currency loss on the deferred income from the Patterson exclusivity payment of $0.3 million ($0.2 million net of tax), a loss on the revaluation of short-term intra-group loans of $0.8 million ($0.6 million net of tax), and the effect from a non-cash remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from a local trade tax rate increase at our principal German operations of $2.2 million.

Sirona’s net income for the six months ended March 31, 2012 included deal related amortization and depreciation of assets acquired in past business combinations of $ 23.7 million ($18.2 million net of tax), currency revaluation loss on the Patterson exclusivity payment of $0.8 million ($0.6 million after tax), and a loss on the revaluation of short-term intra-group loans of $1.0 million ($0.8 million net of tax).

Share-based compensation expense was $8.4 million ($6.4 million net of tax) for the six months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $4.3 million ($3.3 million net of tax) in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, Sirona’s principal uses of cash, apart from operating requirements, including research and development expenses, have been for interest payments, debt repayment, and acquisitions. Operating capital expenditures typically are approximately equal to operating depreciation (excluding any effects from the increased amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of Sirona’s and Sirona Dental’s assets and liabilities required under purchase accounting). These expenditures may temporarily exceed operating depreciation for larger-scale infrastructure and other investment activities that the Company may undertake from time to time. The Company also uses cash for occasional purchases of treasury shares pursuant to stock repurchase programs. Sirona believes that its operating cash flows, available cash, and available financing will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, research and development expenses, and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Cash and cash equivalents of $125 million held by our foreign subsidiaries generally are not subject to restrictions prohibiting such amounts from being available in the United States. The distribution of lower-taxed foreign earnings to the United States, however, would generally increase our effective tax rate. It is management’s intention to continue to indefinitely reinvest such earnings in foreign operations.

On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior facilities agreement (the “New Senior Facilities Agreement’) with Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors, and as of November 16, 2011, Sirona fully repaid its obligations under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement. Initial borrowings under the New Senior Facilities Agreement were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s previous credit facilities. Please see “New Senior Facilities Agreement” within this section and Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a complete description of this New Senior Facilities Agreement.

The New Senior Facilities Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit Sirona’s ability to make loans, to incur additional indebtedness, and to make disposals, subject to agreed exceptions. The Company has agreed to certain financial debt covenants in relation to the financing. The covenants stipulate that the Company must maintain certain ratios in respect of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA”). If the Company breaches any of the covenants, the loans will become repayable on demand.

The financial covenants require that the Company maintain a debt coverage ratio (“Debt Cover Ratio”) of consolidated total net debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, determined on the basis of the last twelve months, of no more than 3.00 to 1. The Company is required to determine its compliance with the covenants as of September 30 and March 31. As of March 31, 2013, the most recent period for which this ratio was calculated, the Company was in compliance. As calculated in accordance with the New Senior Facilities Agreement, the Company did not have any net debt, and its Debt Cover Ratio was not meaningful in the absence of net debt.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities represents net cash from operations, returns on investments, and payments for interest and taxation.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $89.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $65.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The primary contributing factors to the increase in cash provided by operating cash flows in the six months ended March 31, 2013 were higher revenues and gross profit and the payments received from the settlement of a patent infringement claim, partially offset by increased tax payments. The primary contributing factor to the increase in the net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended March 31, 2012, was improved working capital performance and slightly lower tax payments.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities represents cash used for capital expenditures in the normal course of operating activities, financial investments, acquisitions and long-lived asset disposals. The primary contributors to the investing cash outflow in the six months ended March 31, 2013 were the acquisition of a technology company for $35.0 million and capital expenditures in the course of normal operating activities. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities represented capital expenditures in the normal course of business.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $26.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $311.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2013, mainly resulted from the purchase of treasury shares pursuant to our current stock repurchase program, partly offset by proceeds and tax-related benefits from exercises of stock options previously granted in the Company’s stock based compensation activities. Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2012 resulted from repayment of our prior senior term loans in November 2011, partly offset by proceeds from borrowings under new senior term loans and revolving facilities.

Capital Resources

Senior Facilities Agreement

New Senior Facilities Agreement

On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into the New Senior Facilities Agreement with Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors. As of November 16, 2011, Sirona fully repaid its obligations under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement. Initial borrowings under the New Senior Facilities Agreement were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s previous credit facilities.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to net income, its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the accompanying financial tables. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Sirona’s management utilizes EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with U.S. GAAP measures, such as net income and gross margin calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are material limitations associated with making the adjustments to Sirona’s earnings to calculate EBITDA and using this non-GAAP financial measure. For instance, EBITDA does not include:

•

interest expense, and because Sirona has borrowed money in order to finance its operations, interest expense is a necessary element of its costs and ability to generate revenue;

•

depreciation and amortization expense, and because Sirona uses capital and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of its costs and ability to generate revenue; and

•

tax expense, and because the payment of taxes is part of Sirona’s operations, tax expense is a necessary element of costs and impacts Sirona’s ability to operate.

In addition, other companies may define EBITDA differently. EBITDA, as well as the other information in this filing, should be read in conjunction with Sirona’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

In addition to EBITDA, the accompanying financial tables also set forth certain supplementary information that Sirona believes is useful for investors in evaluating Sirona’s underlying operations. This supplemental information includes gains/losses recorded in the periods presented which relate to the early extinguishment of debt, share based compensation, revaluation of the U.S. Dollar-denominated Patterson Exclusivity Payment and borrowings where the functional currency is the Euro, and the Exchange. Sirona’s management believes that these items are either nonrecurring or non-cash in nature, and should be considered by investors in assessing Sirona’s financial condition, operating performance and underlying strength.

Sirona’s management uses EBITDA together with this supplemental information as an integral part of its reporting and planning processes and as one of the primary measures to, among other things:

(i)

monitor and evaluate the performance of Sirona’s business operations;

(ii)

facilitate management’s internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of Sirona’s business operations;

(iii)

facilitate management’s external comparisons of the results of its overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels;

(iv)

analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and

(v)

plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

Sirona believes that EBITDA and the supplemental information provided is useful to investors as it provides them with disclosures of Sirona’s operating results on the same basis as that used by Sirona’s management.
