Dentsply sales up, income down in Q3

Dentsply International announced that its revenues increased 2% to $541.8 million for the third quarter of 2010 (end-September 30), up from $531.2 million in the third quarter of 2009.

However, net income for the quarter was $63.7 million, down 6% from $67.5 million in the same quarter a year ago.

"The global dental market continued to grow modestly in the third quarter, with international markets being more resilient, said Bret Wise, chairman and CEO of Dentsply, in a press release.

The company has now completed the sales and marketing expansion announced early in the year, he added. "We are also continuing to make additional investments in the back half of 2010 to take better advantage of a strong product pipeline targeted for launch in 2011 and 2012," he said.
