Bucking a year-long trend among dental product suppliers, Dentsply International reported revenues of $531 million for the third quarter of FY2009 (end-September 30), up from $530 million reported for the third quarter of 2008.
Net income for the quarter was $67.5 million, compared to $66 million for the same quarter a year ago.
"We are pleased to report solid sales and earnings performance for the quarter, as well as excellent cash flow generation, despite the continuing macroeconomic challenges impacting the global dental market," said Bret W. Wise, chairman and CEO, in a press release. "The global dental market appears to be in the early stages of a recovery, although it is likely to be gradual and vary across geographic regions and product categories."
