BREA, Calif., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NVST) today announced results for the first quarter 2020.

For the first quarter ended April 3, 2020, net loss was $17.2 million, or $0.11 per share. For the same period, adjusted net income was $5.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Sales for the first quarter were $547.2 million, a 17.1% decrease as compared to the same period year-over-year. Core sales declined 14.6% over the same period. We estimate that the COVID-19 global health pandemic adversely impacted sales in the quarter by approximately 16.0% with impacts to all major regions.

Amir Aghdaei, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Revenue exceeded our expectations in the first two months of the year, but the ongoing global health pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the business in the last three weeks of March. We have taken immediate steps to ensure the safety of our employees, support our customers and partners, and preserve our financial strength. These actions will help protect our growth investments in clear aligners, implants and emerging markets, structurally improve margin, and accelerate our portfolio transformation."

Mr. Aghdaei continued, "The ability to achieve our strategic objectives and create value is directly dependent on the strength of our employees, relationships with our customers and partners, the Envista leadership team, and our EBS foundation. Our team is fully committed to navigate through these challenging times while building a stronger Envista."

Contributions Towards COVID-19 Relief Efforts
Envista's employees have donated thousands of masks and other personal protective equipment in their local communities worldwide. The Company was one of the first companies to donate infection prevention products to the Wuhan government and its Orascoptic business donated eye protection to hundreds of healthcare professionals in the U.S. Metrex, Envista's infection prevention business, has taken actions to increase shipments of medical grade disinfection products used by health care professionals globally.

Financial Actions
In March 2020, the Company borrowed $250 million on its revolving credit facility to provide additional liquidity to manage through the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company entered into an amendment with its existing lenders that provides, among other things, for the suspension of its debt leverage covenant through Q1 2021.

The Company has implemented temporary cost reduction measures of more than $100 million including pay decreases, furloughs and aggressive management of non-essential spending. The Company is also moving forward with plans to improve its financial position through a structural cost reduction program targeted to reduce its overall expenses by more than $100 million on an annualized basis. These actions are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2020.

Guidance
As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed April 2, 2020, Envista has withdrawn its guidance for 2020 due to the uncertainties surrounding the current operating environment and the unknown duration of the COVID-19 global health pandemic. The Company is not providing further guidance at this time.

Envista will discuss its results during a quarterly investor conference call today starting at 2:00 P.M. PDT. The call and an accompanying slide presentation will be webcast on the "Investors" section of Envista's website, www.envistaco.com, under the subheading "Events & Presentations."

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Envista Holdings Corporation's ("Envista" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:

• with respect to Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, understand the long-term profitability trends of Envista's business and compare Envista's profitability to prior and future periods and to Envista's peers;
• with respect to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, provide investors with improved comparability for Adjusted Diluted EPS as share counts under GAAP are calculated using a weighted average approach;
• with respect to Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding, allows for the impact of the IPO shares and dilution related to the conversion of Danaher equity awards into Envista equity awards to be presented as if they were outstanding for all prior periods presented and for the dilutive impact of stock options and restricted stock units as the Company is reporting adjusted net income compared to a net loss under GAAP;
• with respect to Core Sales, identify underlying growth trends in Envista's business and compare Envista's revenue performance with prior and future periods and to Envista's peers;
• with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, help investors understand operational factors associated with a company's financial performance because it excludes the following from consideration: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and infrequent or unusual losses or gains such as goodwill impairment charges or nonrecurring and restructuring charges. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure for assessing operating performance in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used in connection with operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting, evaluating Company performance and comparing operating results with historical periods and with industry peer companies; and
• with respect to Free Cash Flow (the "FCF Measure"), understand Envista's ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures).

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure the Company's operating and financial performance.

The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:

• With respect to Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA:
• We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly-acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.
• We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Envista Business System. These restructuring plans are incremental to the operating activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Envista's ongoing operating costs in a given period.
• With respect to the other items excluded from Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Envista's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
• With respect to core sales, we exclude (1) the effect of acquisitions because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, (2) sales from discontinued products because discontinued products do not have a continuing contribution to operations and management believes that excluding such items provides investors with a means of evaluating our on-going operations and facilitates comparisons to our peers, and (3) the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends.
• With respect to the FCF Measure, we exclude payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
