Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (ZBH) — Financial Snapshot

Income Statement Summary

Metric FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 YoY
Revenue $6.94B $7.39B $7.68B +3.8%
Gross Margin ~68% ~69% ~69%
Operating Margin ~10% ~12% ~11%
Net Income ~$200M ~$700M ~$630M
EPS (diluted, GAAP) ~$1.39 ~$4.91 ~$4.43 -10%

FY2022 GAAP earnings depressed by ZimVie spin-off charges and restructuring costs. FY2023–FY2024 reflect the cleaner post-spin business. Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS substantially higher — adjusted EPS FY2024 ~$8.00+ range, excluding amortization of acquired intangibles (large balance from the 2015 Biomet merger).

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet (FY2024)

Metric Value
Operating Cash Flow ~$1.2B
Free Cash Flow ~$900M
Capital Expenditures ~$300M
Cash & Equivalents ~$400M
Total Debt ~$7.5B

High debt load reflects legacy financing from the 2015 Zimmer-Biomet merger ($13.35B deal). Leverage has declined but remains elevated. The 2024 Paragon 28 acquisition (foot/ankle orthopedics) added incremental debt and near-term margin dilution.

Key Ratios (approximate)

  • P/E: ~15x (adjusted) | EV/EBITDA: ~9x | FCF Yield: ~9%
  • Revenue Growth (FY2024): +3.8% (+4.8% constant currency)
  • Revenue Growth (FY2023): +6.5% (+7.5% constant currency)
  • Adjusted EPS growth has been inconsistent due to acquisition activity and restructuring

Growth Profile

Zimmer Biomet's revenue growth has been in the low-to-mid single digit range, below orthopedic market growth rates (5–6%/year), reflecting market share losses — particularly in robotics where Stryker's Mako system has dominated. The ZimVie spin-off (2022) removed ~$1B in revenue and clarified the ZBH equity story. FY2024 growth of ~4.8% constant currency is modestly below market, reflecting continued robotics competitive pressure and international market challenges. The Paragon 28 acquisition (foot/ankle, closed 2024) adds ~$250–300M in annual revenue at a segment still investing for growth.

Forward Estimates

  • Q3 FY2025 Net Sales: $2.001B (reported — continuing ~3% growth pace)
  • FY2026 Operating Margin Guidance: ~50bp decrease vs. FY2025 (lower gross margins, Paragon 28 dilution, increased R&D)
  • FY2026 Pricing Headwind: ~100bp erosion expected
  • Analyst consensus: Mixed — William Blair Market Perform; price target range roughly $95–$172 reflecting execution uncertainty
