Envista had a net margin of 3.33% and a return on equity of 7.88%. The company had revenue of $691.50 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $688.74 million. During the same period in the previous year, the firm earned $0.32 EPS. The business’s revenue was up 3.2% on a year-over-year basis.

Here are the key takeaways from Envista’s conference call:

• Envista reported 2.7% core sales growth, with adjusted EBITDA up 9% and adjusted EPS up 25%; gross and EBITDA margins expanded 20 and 80 basis points, respectively. Free cash flow conversion was 97%, and net leverage remained low at 0.6x.
• The company raised its 2026 outlook, now expecting 3.75%–4.25% core sales growth, 12.5%–14% adjusted EBITDA growth, and adjusted EPS of $1.54–$1.58. Management said the fourth-quarter outlook implies slightly negative core growth, partly reflecting four fewer selling days and continued macro uncertainty.
• China sales fell at a low-double-digit rate as orthodontics customers destocked ahead of VBP; management expects the process to bring substantial price reductions, including about 50% for orthodontics and 10%–15% for implants. It expects VBP to support volume and share gains, but acknowledged margin pressure in China.
• Spark grew at a high-single-digit rate, diagnostics and implants each grew mid-single digits, and Envista said it continued to gain share in diagnostics. Management highlighted a strong new-product pipeline and said broader commercialization of recent launches will be a key growth priority for 2027.
