• Full-year guidance was raised and narrowed to 3.5%-4.5% core growth, 11%-14% adjusted EBITDA growth, and adjusted EPS of $1.50-$1.55; the expected tax rate was also reduced to approximately 26% from prior guidance.
• Equipment & Consumables grew 8.5% organically, supported by high-single-digit growth in consumables and diagnostics, continued share gains, pricing, and new products. Spark again grew at a double-digit rate, while new implant, orthodontic, and consumable product launches are intended to support future growth.

The company also repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares and ended the quarter with net debt of 0.7 times adjusted EBITDA.
• Management expects slower reported growth in the second half, including flat to slightly negative core growth in the fourth quarter because of four fewer selling days. China’s upcoming ortho and implant volume-based procurement programs are expected to create significant price pressure, including roughly 10%-15% implant price compression and potentially greater pressure in orthodontics.
