Dentsply Sirona posts $598M 2025 net loss, ends dividend, guides 2026 EPS $1.40-$1.50
Dentsply Sirona reported a fourth quarter and full-year 2025 net loss, with fourth-quarter net sales up 6.2% but full-year net sales down 3.0%. The company also eliminated its quarterly dividend, announced a restructuring plan, and set 2026 net sales and adjusted EPS outlooks below its 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.60, which matters to shareholders because the dividend is gone and the outlook implies lower per-share earnings.
Key points
- Q4 2025 net sales were $961 million, up 6.2%, but the company posted a net loss of $146 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, driven by $144 million in net-of-tax goodwill and intangible impairments.
- FY 2025 net sales were $3,680 million, down 3.0%, and the net loss was $598 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, compared with a $910 million loss in 2024.
- FY 2026 outlook: net sales of $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.40 to $1.50, versus FY 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.60.
- The Board eliminated the quarterly cash dividend, which the company said will redirect capital to debt retirement and share repurchases; a restructuring plan carries $55 million to $65 million in charges and about $120 million in annualized
