Dentsply Sirona Announces Repositioning of Byte within Aligner Portfolio Company to Present at J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Charlotte, N.C., January 14, 2025 - DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona” or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XRAY) today announced that the Company plans to refocus the Byte business model around treatments that include expanded in-person dentist oversight. The Company is evaluating the go-to- market business and economic model and expects to leverage collaborative direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) demand generation with dentists using Byte core competencies, expand digital customer journey management across the aligner portfolio, and utilize Byte skillsets to further enhance customer service and marketing across the Company. In connection with this review, Dentsply Sirona is not reinstating the at-home Byte Aligner Systems and Impression Kits but will continue to provide support for non-contraindicated Byte Aligner patients currently undergoing treatment. Dentsply Sirona will continue to work with regulatory authorities and obtain any necessary clearances prior to any market launch. “Our actions demonstrate our continued commitment to quality and compliance in everything we do. With that in mind and consistent with Dentsply Sirona’s goal of providing access to quality care for a broad patient population, we plan to redefine the Byte business model while leveraging their strong capabilities including the DTC engine,” said Simon Campion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dentsply Sirona. “We believe there is applicability for DTC demand generation in dentistry including aligners and we have already commenced deploying Byte’s strategic capabilities across our Company.” J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference As previously announced, Dentsply Sirona will present at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at 7:30 am PT (10:30 am ET).
