Q3 Estimates for NVST

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $686.3 million, which suggests an increase of 2.5% from the year-ago reported figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EPS is pinned at 35 cents, indicating a year-over-year increase of 9.4%. The estimate has moved south 1 cent in the past 60 days.

Here’s a quick overview of the company’s performance prior to the announcement.

Key Factors Likely to Have Driven NVST’s Q3 Performance

In the third quarter, Envista is likely to have delivered balanced growth across both reporting segments, Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables, and all major geographies.

The Specialty Products & Technologies business is likely to have benefited from continued improvement in orthodontics, led by strong growth in Spark aligners. The expansion of OrmcoDigital Bonding (“ODB”) to all bracket systems in the previous quarter is also expected to have supported growth by strengthening Envista’s comprehensive orthodontic offerings. Meanwhile, implant core sales are likely to have remained stable, with well balanced growth across geographic markets.

Equipment & Consumables is likely to have benefited from broad-based growth across consumables and diagnostics businesses. Consumables growth might have been aided by continued innovation and favorable pricing. In line with this, Envista had two notable launches in the consumables business — ZenSeal Pro and DemiPro. 

 

ZenSeal Pro is an all-in-one bioceramic endodontic sealer, while DemiPro is a lightweight cordless curing light used across many restorative dental procedures. Meanwhile, strong diagnostic sales in North America, driven by above-market growth, might have further boosted the third-quarter performance. The ongoing innovation in equipment and software, alongside growth in services, is expected to have supported demand for comprehensive customer solutions. 

The company is benefiting from the Envista Business System. During the previous quarter, improving manufacturing productivity helped drive gross margin expansion and when combined with sustained G&A productivity, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 230 basis points. It further reduced effective tax rate, contributing to the very strong EPS growth. We expect this trend to have persisted in the to-be-reported quarter as well.
