WARSAW, Ind., Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. The Company reported fourth quarter net sales of $2.013 billion, an increase of 4.1% over the prior year period, and an increase of 4.4% on an adjusted constant currency basis. Excluding approximately 230 basis points of contribution from the LDR Holding Corporation transaction and adjusting for one less billing day in the quarter, revenues increased by 3.5% over the fourth quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.33 reported, a decrease of 46.8% from the prior year period, and $2.14 adjusted, an increase of 2.4% adjusted over the prior year period.

Full-year 2016 net sales were $7.684 billion, an increase of 28.1% over the prior year, and an increase of 3.4% on a constant currency, adjusted pro forma basis. Full-year revenues increased by 2.3% on a constant currency, adjusted pro forma basis, excluding approximately 110 basis points of contribution from the LDR transaction. Diluted earnings per share for the year were $1.50 reported, an increase of 94.8% over the prior year, and $7.96 adjusted, an increase of 15.4% over the prior year.

"Zimmer Biomet delivered solid revenue growth in the fourth quarter. Our performance was driven, in part, by the reacceleration of our Knee and Hip businesses, as well as the ongoing strength of our S.E.T. category and Asia Pacific region," said David Dvorak, President and CEO of Zimmer Biomet. "As we reflect on the completion of our first full year as a combined company, our achievements have further strengthened our confidence in the unique value-creation opportunity we offer in the dynamic global healthcare environment. We will continue to drive growth across our broad musculoskeletal portfolio in 2017, as we remain focused on delivering against our net synergy commitments and making ongoing progress towards optimizing and harmonizing our supply chain, and manufacturing and quality systems."

Net earnings for the fourth quarter were $66.6 million, a decrease of 47.5% from the prior year period, and $434.1 million on an adjusted basis, an increase of 1.3% over the prior year period. Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter was $627 million.

Net earnings for full-year 2016 were $302.9 million, an increase of 106.1% over the prior year, and $1.611 billion on an adjusted basis, an increase of 22.9% over the prior year. Operating cash flow for full-year 2016 was $1.632 billion.

In the quarter, the Company paid $48.1 million in dividends and declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.24 per share. The Company also repaid $310 million on certain of its outstanding USD denominated debt.

For full-year 2016, the Company paid $188.4 million in dividends and repaid $1.010 billion of debt related to the Biomet acquisition.

Guidance
The Company expects constant currency revenue for full-year 2017, as compared to 2016 revenue, to increase between 3.7% and 4.7%, inclusive of approximately 120 basis points of contribution from the LDR transaction. The Company expects foreign currency translation to decrease revenues by approximately 1.5%. Therefore, 2017 revenue is expected to increase between 2.2% and 3.2% when compared to full-year 2016 revenue, or to be in a range of $7.855 billion to $7.930 billion.

The Company expects its full-year 2017 diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $4.37 to $4.67, and in a range of $8.50 to $8.68 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 Financial Statements
The effects of purchase accounting adjustments reflected in the financial statements of this press release related to the acquisition of LDR and other 2016 acquisitions are preliminary, and as a result our annual goodwill impairment testing is not yet complete. Our financial statements to be filed in our annual report on Form 10-K may change as we refine our purchase accounting estimates and complete our goodwill impairment testing. The provision for income taxes in the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 includes provisions that were related to previous periods. We have evaluated the effect of these out-of-period adjustments on the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, as well as on the previous interim and annual periods in which they should have been recognized, and concluded for both quantitative and qualitative reasons that these adjustments are not material to any of the periods affected. We are still in-process of evaluating the internal controls that did not operate effectively in preventing these errors.

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 growth information for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on an adjusted 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 and an adjustment for one less billing day in the three-month period. Sales growth information for the year ended December 31, 2016 is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on a constant currency, adjusted pro forma basis, as well as on a basis that excludes the contribution from the LDR transaction. Projected revenue growth information for the year ended December 31, 2017 is presented on a GAAP basis and on a constant currency basis. Adjusted revenue growth refers to a comparison against revenue for the prior year period adjusted to reflect the impact of the previously announced divestiture remedies. Constant currency growth 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. Pro forma revenue growth refers to a comparison against revenue for the prior year that has been adjusted to reflect the inclusion of Biomet revenue.

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 earnings and earnings per share measures exclude the effects of inventory step-up and other inventory and manufacturing related charges, certain claims, special items, intangible asset amortization, financing and other expenses/gains related to the Biomet merger and other acquisitions, debt extinguishment charges, the tax effects of 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 primarily include internal restructuring transactions that provide the Company access to offshore funds in a tax efficient manner, resolution of certain matters with taxing authorities and adjustments to deferred tax liabilities recognized as part of acquisition-related accounting.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business and believe they are useful measures that provide meaningful supplemental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the Company. We believe 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 our incentive compensation programs.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release.

    (1) The tax effect for the U.S. jurisdiction is calculated based on an effective rate considering federal and state taxes,
    as well as permanent items.  For jurisdictions outside the U.S., the tax effect is calculated based upon the statutory rates
    where the items were incurred.




    (2) Other certain tax adjustments primarily include a favorable resolution of certain tax matters with taxing authorities offset

    by internal restructuring transactions that provide the Company access to offshore funds in a tax efficient manner.

    (1) The tax effect for the U.S. jurisdiction is calculated based on an effective rate considering federal and state taxes,
    as well as permanent items.  For jurisdictions outside the U.S., the tax effect is calculated based upon the statutory
    rates where the items were incurred.


    (2) The 2016 period includes negative effects from finalizing the tax accounts for the Biomet merger.  Under the
    applicable U.S. GAAP rules, these measurement period adjustments are recognized on a prospective basis
    in the period of change.




    (3) Other certain tax adjustments primarily include a favorable adjustment to certain deferred tax liabilities recognized
    as part of acquisition-related accounting and favorable resolution of certain tax matters with taxing authorities offset
    by internal restructuring transactions that provide the Company access to offshore funds in a tax efficient manner.

    (1) The tax effect for the U.S. jurisdiction is calculated based on an effective rate considering federal and state taxes, as well as permanent items.  For jurisdictions outside the U.S., the tax effect is calculated
     based upon the statutory rates where the items were incurred.




    (2) The 2016 period includes negative effects from finalizing the tax accounts for the Biomet merger.  Under the applicable U.S. GAAP rules, these measurement period adjustments are recognized on a prospective basis
     in the period of change.




    (3) Other certain tax adjustments primarily include a favorable adjustment to certain deferred tax liabilities recognized as part of acquisition-related accounting and favorable resolution of certain tax matters with
     taxing authorities offset by internal restructuring transactions that provide the Company access to offshore funds in a tax efficient manner.
