Insights

Financial Analyst

Zimmer Biomet's Q2 2024 results show solid performance, with net sales of $1.942 billion, up 3.9% year-over-year and 5.6% on a constant currency basis. The company's adjusted diluted EPS of $2.01 indicates strong profitability.

Key highlights include:

• U.S. sales growth of 3.5%
• International sales growth of 4.4% (8.5% constant currency)
• Knees and Hips segments showing moderate growth
• S.E.T. and Other categories outperforming with 6.1% and 9.1% growth respectively

The updated guidance, maintaining constant currency revenue growth of 5.0-6.0% and adjusted EPS of $8.00-$8.15, suggests management's confidence in the company's trajectory despite currency headwinds.

Medical Device Industry Expert

Zimmer Biomet's Q2 results reflect a positive trend in the orthopedic market. The company's diversified product portfolio, particularly in Knees and Hips, shows resilience. The strong performance in S.E.T. (Sports Medicine, Extremities, Trauma) and Other categories indicates successful diversification efforts.

Strategic moves like the OrthoGrid Systems acquisition and partnerships with THINK Surgical and RevelAi Health demonstrate a focus on innovation, particularly in AI and robotics. These initiatives position Zimmer Biomet well in the competitive landscape, potentially driving future growth.

The agreement with CBRE to expand orthopedic ASC footprint is a smart move, aligning with the industry shift towards outpatient procedures. This could lead to increased market share and improved operational efficiency in the long term.

Market Research Analyst

Zimmer Biomet's Q2 performance outpacing expectations signals strong market demand for orthopedic products and solutions. The 8.5% constant currency growth in international markets is particularly noteworthy, indicating robust global expansion.

The company's focus on operational excellence and innovation, as outlined in their long-range plan, appears to be yielding results. The diverse product portfolio and strategic partnerships position Zimmer Biomet well to capitalize on emerging trends in personalized medicine and AI-driven surgical solutions.

Recognition as one of America's Best Midsize Companies and Great Place to Work certifications could enhance brand reputation and aid in talent attraction and retention, potentially contributing to long-term success. Investors should monitor the integration of recent acquisitions and the impact of new partnerships on future quarters' performance.

This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure for which a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable efforts.  See "Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below, which identifies the information that is unavailable without unreasonable efforts and provides additional information.  It is probable that this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measure.

Website Information

We routinely post important information for investors on our website, www.zimmerbiomet.com, in the "Investor Relations" section.  We use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.  Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. 

The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website or any other website referenced herein is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and our commentary in our investor conference call today include non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net sales change information for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on a constant currency basis.  Constant currency percentage changes exclude the effects of foreign currency exchange rates.  They are calculated by translating current and prior-period sales at the same predetermined exchange rate.  The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or decreases. 

Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on an adjusted basis.  These adjusted financial measures exclude the effects of certain items, which are detailed in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures presented later in the press release. 

Free cash flow is an additional non-GAAP measure that is presented in this press release.  Free cash flow is computed by deducting additions to instruments and other property, plant and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.  This press release also contains supplemental reconciliations of additional non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents in other contexts.  These additional non-GAAP financial measures are computed from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as indicated in the applicable reconciliation.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business.  Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful incremental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the Company.  Management believes these measures offer the ability to make period-to-period comparisons that are not impacted by certain items that can cause dramatic changes in reported income but that do not impact the fundamentals of our operations.  The non-GAAP measures enable the evaluation of operating results and trend analysis by allowing a reader to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures.  In addition, constant currency sales changes, adjusted operating profit, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow are used as performance metrics in our incentive compensation programs.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for the year ending December 31, 2024.  We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures.  For instance, we exclude the impact of certain charges related to initial compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation; restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives; acquisition, integration, divestiture and related; and certain legal and tax matters.  We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable efforts.  For example, the timing of certain transactions is difficult to predict because management's plans may change.  In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors.  It is probable that these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

(1)	Inventory and manufacturing-related charges include excess and obsolete inventory charges on certain product lines we intend to discontinue, the acceleration of depreciation and fixed overhead costs expensed immediately related to a manufacturing plant shutdown, and other inventory and manufacturing-related charges or gains.
(2)	We exclude intangible asset amortization as well as deferred tax rate changes on our intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures because we internally assess our performance against our peers without this amortization.  Due to various levels of acquisitions among our peers, intangible asset amortization can vary significantly from company to company.
(3)	In December 2019, 2021, and 2023 we initiated global restructuring programs that included a reorganization of key businesses and an overall effort to reduce costs in order to accelerate decision-making, focus the organization on priorities to drive growth and, in the case of the December 2021 program, to prepare for the spinoff of ZimVie, Inc. ("ZimVie").  Restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives also include other cost reduction and optimization initiatives that have the goal of reducing costs across the organization.  The costs include employee termination benefits; contract terminations for facilities and sales agents; and other charges, such as consulting fees, project management expenses, retention period salaries and benefits and relocation costs.
(4)	The acquisition, integration, divestiture and related gains and expenses we have excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures resulted from various acquisitions, post-separation costs we have incurred related to ZimVie and gains related to a transition services agreement for services we provide to ZimVie and a transition manufacturing and supply agreement for products we supply to ZimVie for a limited period.
(5)	We are involved in patent litigation, product liability litigation, commercial litigation and other various litigation matters.  We review litigation matters from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective to determine if excluding the losses or gains will provide our investors with useful incremental information.  Litigation matters can vary in their characteristics, frequency and significance to our operating results.  The litigation charges and gains excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures in the periods presented relate to patent litigation and product liability litigation.  Once the litigation matter has been excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures in a particular period, any additional expenses or gains from changes in estimates are also excluded, even if they are not significant, to ensure consistency in our non-GAAP financial measures from period-to-period.
(6)	The European Union Medical Device Regulation imposes significant additional premarket and postmarket requirements.  The new regulations provided a transition period until May 2021 for previously-approved medical devices to meet the additional requirements.  For certain devices, this transition period was extended until May 2024.  A conditional extension of the transition period has been implemented until December 2027 and 2028 depending on the legacy medical device's risk class.  We are excluding from our non-GAAP financial measures the incremental costs incurred to establish initial compliance with the regulations related to our previously-approved medical devices.  The incremental costs primarily relate to temporary personnel and third-party professionals necessary to supplement our internal resources.
(7)	We have incurred other various expenses from specific events or projects that we consider highly variable or that have a significant impact to our operating results that we have excluded from our non-GAAP measures.  These include gains and losses from changes in fair value on our equity investments, among other various costs.
(8)	Other certain tax adjustments are related to certain significant and discrete tax adjustments including intercompany transactions between jurisdictions, ongoing impacts of tax only amortization resulting from certain restructuring transactions and impacts of significant tax reform including Swiss reform.
