Zimmer Biomet Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

WARSAW, Ind.July 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The Company reported second quarter net sales of $1.954 billion, an increase of 1.1% over the prior year period, and an increase of 2.1% on a constant currency basis.  Excluding approximately 240 basis points of contribution from the LDR Holding Corporation acquisition, second quarter 2017 revenues decreased 1.3% from the second quarter of 2016, or 0.3% on a constant currency basis.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.90.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $2.08, an increase of 3.0% over the prior year period.

“During the second quarter, we increased production output from our Warsaw North Campus manufacturing facility, and continued to drive efforts to achieve best-in-class quality systems.  Our sales growth fell short of our expectations, due in part to production delays of certain key brands and slower-than-expected sales recapture from previously affected customers in the United States.  These factors have informed our updated outlook for the full year,” said Daniel P. Florin, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Zimmer Biomet.  “Looking forward, we remain focused on fully restoring product supply to enhance our commercial execution, while continuing to closely engage with our customers and take advantage of the opportunities in front of us.”

“We have great confidence in Dan as he transitions into the role of Interim CEO. He has already begun to leverage his deep knowledge of Zimmer Biomet and decades of medical device industry experience to lead the Company during this period,” said Larry C. Glasscock, Chairman of the Board of Zimmer Biomet.  “We have initiated a thorough search to identify the best candidate to serve as Zimmer Biomet’s next CEO.  We are seeking a strong leader, whose strategic and operational track record aligns with Zimmer Biomet’s commitment to growth and enhancing stockholder value.”

Net earnings for the second quarter were $184.2 million, and $424.6 million on an adjusted basis, an increase of 4.3% over the prior year period.  Operating cash flow for the second quarter was $440.5 million.

In the quarter, the Company paid $48.4 million in dividends and declared a second quarter dividend of $0.24 per share.  The Company has made approximately $650 million of net debt repayments through the first half of 2017.

Guidance
The Company is updating its full-year 2017 constant currency revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance.  For the full year, the Company now expects revenue in the range of $7.80 billion to $7.87 billion, representing constant currency revenue growth of 1.8% to 2.7% compared to the prior year, inclusive of approximately 120 basis points of contribution from the LDR transaction.  Previously, the Company had expected full-year, constant currency revenue growth between 3.2% and 4.2%, inclusive of approximately 120 basis points of contribution from the LDR transaction.  Additionally, the Company now expects its full-year 2017 diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $4.15 to $4.35, and in a range of $8.20 to $8.30 on an adjusted basis.  Previously, the Company had expected full-year 2017 diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $4.68 to $4.88, and in a range of $8.50 to $8.60 on an adjusted basis.

For the third quarter of 2017, the Company expects revenue in the range of $1.815 billion to $1.845 billion, representing constant currency revenue growth of negative 0.5% to positive 1.0% compared to the prior year period, inclusive of approximately 30 basis points of contribution from the LDR transaction.  Additionally, the Company expects its diluted earnings per share for the third quarter to be in a range of $0.60 to $0.70, and in a range of $1.72 to $1.77 on an adjusted basis.

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 is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes 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.

Sales change information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on a constant currency basis, as well as on a basis that excludes the contribution from the Company’s acquisition of LDR Holding Corporation in July 2016.  Constant currency rates 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.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release.

Net earnings, diluted earnings per share and projected diluted earnings per share are presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on an adjusted basis.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the effects of inventory step-up; certain inventory and manufacturing-related charges connected to discontinuing certain product lines, quality enhancement and remediation efforts; special items; intangible asset amortization; any related effects on our income tax provision associated with these items; and other certain tax adjustments.  Special items include expenses resulting directly from our business combinations and/or global restructuring, quality and operational excellence initiatives, including employee termination benefits, certain contract terminations, consulting and professional fees, dedicated project personnel, asset impairment or loss on disposal charges and other items.  Other certain tax adjustments include a tax restructuring that lowered the tax rate on deferred tax liabilities recorded on intangible assets recognized in acquisition-related accounting, net favorable resolutions of various tax matters, and charges from internal restructuring transactions that provide the Company access to cash in a tax efficient manner.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business and believes they are useful measures that provide meaningful supplemental 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 operating results, to perform trend analysis, to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items and to provide additional transparency of certain items.  In addition, certain of these non-GAAP financial measures are used as performance metrics in the Company’s incentive compensation programs.
