EXPLANATORY NOTE FOR AMENDMENT NO. 1

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed solely to correct a technical error in the filing of the Form 8-K by DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (the “Company”) on August 2, 2019 (the “Original Form 8-K”), pursuant to which the Company furnished its earnings release for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 under Items 2.02 and 9.01. Due to a technical error, the earnings release appears in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Edgar system without the body of the 8-K itself. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 is being filed solely to furnish the earnings release under Items 2.02 and 9.01 of Form 8-K as originally intended and to correct the omission of the body of the 8-K. No changes have been made to the earnings release, and this Amendment No. 1 has not been updated to reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 8-K.

Item 2.02. - Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition."

On August 2, 2019, DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release disclosing its second quarter sales and earnings. This earnings release references net sales, excluding precious metal content, and net income, adjusted for certain charges, both of which are considered measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (non-US GAAP measures). Due to the fluctuations of precious metal prices and because the precious metal content of the Company's sales is largely a pass-through to customers and has minimal effect on earnings, the Company reports 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. Earnings from operations, adjusted for certain charges, are presented to enhance the comparability between periods. A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
