Long Island City, New York, February 4, 2011 – Sirona (Nasdaq: SIRO), the dental technology leader, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

First Quarter Fiscal 2011 vs. First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

Revenue was $235.6 million, an increase of $20.8 million or up 9.7% (up 15.8% on a constant currency basis), with growth rates for the Company’s business segments as follows: Treatment Centers increased 13.5% (up 23.0% on a constant currency basis); CAD CAM increased 12.9% (up 18.5% constant currency); Imaging Systems increased 7.4% (up 11.2% constant currency); and Instruments increased 0.1% (up 8.4% constant currency). Revenue in the United States increased 0.9%, while revenues outside the United States increased 13.8% (up 23.3% constant currency), with strong growth in Germany, other European markets and solid performance in Asia Pacific.

Gross profit was $130.4 million, up $18.0 million. Gross profit margin was 55.3% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, compared to 52.3% in the prior year. The gross profit margin expansion was driven by strong revenue growth and lower levels of amortization expense.

First quarter 2011 operating income excluding amortization expense was $69.5 million (operating income of $56.0 million plus amortization expense of $13.5 million), compared to $59.6 million (operating income of $43.5 million plus amortization expense of $16.2 million) in the first quarter of 2010.

Net income attributable to Sirona shareholders for the first quarter of 2011 was $42.4 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, versus $31.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.96, up 18.5% as compared to $0.81 in the first quarter of 2010.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $265.3 million and total debt of $367.8 million, resulting in net debt of $102.5 million. This compares to net debt of $119.0 million at September 30, 2010.

Jost Fischer, Chairman and CEO of Sirona commented: “We are delighted with our strong performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We saw strength across all of our lines of business, with record revenues and gross profits in each of our four segments. The Company benefited from robust sales in international markets with strong performance in Germany, other European markets and solid growth in Asia Pacific. Our strategy to develop best-in-class technology and provide practitioners innovative solutions to improve their workflow and increase their profitability is enabling Sirona to win share in the marketplace. We are pleased that our positive first quarter momentum has continued into the second quarter. As a result of our encouraging business trends, we are increasing our guidance for fiscal 2011.”

Fiscal 2011 Guidance

Management now anticipates constant currency revenue growth in the range of 9% to 12% (previously 7% to 9%), and operating income (excluding amortization estimated at $54 million for fiscal 2011) to be in the range of $208 to $216 million (compared to previous guidance of $200 to $208 million).

* tax impact calculated using estimated effective tax rate of 22% for first quarter FY11 and 20% for first quarter FY10

To supplement our consolidated financial statements and our business outlook, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net income, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share, which exclude, as applicable, amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of intangible and tangible assets related to past business combinations, unrealized, non-cash loss/(gain) on revaluation of the carrying value of the $-denominated exclusivity fee, unrealized, non-cash loss/(gain) on revaluation of the carrying value of short-term intra-group loans and any related tax effects.

Management recognizes that the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations, including the fact that they might not be comparable with similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies and that management must exercise judgment in determining which types of charges and other items should be excluded from its non-GAAP financial measures. Management currently compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management

 

Page 7


believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our “core operating performance”. Management believes that “core operating performance” represents Sirona’s operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from “core operating performance” the impact of acquisition-related intangible depreciation and amortization in order to compare our underlying financial performance to prior periods, certain non-cash charges related to currency revaluation that do not reflect our period-to-period operating performance, and to the extent relevant in a particular period, any other cash or non-cash items that management does not view as indicative of its on-going operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and (2) they are provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to facilitate comparisons with prior and subsequent reporting periods.

Constant Currency: We have included certain revenue information in this press release on a constant currency basis. This information is a non-GAAP financial measure. We supplementally present revenue on a constant currency basis because we believe it facilitates a comparison of our 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 months ended December 31, 2010, was $1.36034 and varied from $1.38969 to $1.32171. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, an average quarterly exchange rate converting Euro denominated revenues into U.S. Dollars of $1.47705 was applied.
