Background

 

On March 1, 2022, ZimVie Inc. ("ZimVie," "we," "us" and "our") and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. ("Zimmer Biomet") entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"), pursuant to which Zimmer Biomet agreed to spin off its spine and dental businesses into ZimVie. The distribution resulted in ZimVie becoming a standalone, publicly traded company. Following the distribution, Zimmer Biomet initially retained 19.7% of the outstanding shares of ZimVie common stock, and all transactions between ZimVie and Zimmer Biomet from the distribution to February 1, 2023 were reported as related party transactions. As of February 1, 2023, Zimmer Biomet had sold all of its 19.7% ownership in ZimVie and is no longer considered a related party. As such, transactions with Zimmer Biomet subsequent to February 1, 2023 are reported as third party transactions. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (this "Annual Report") for further description of the impact of the distribution and post-spin activities with Zimmer Biomet.

 

On December 15, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our spine segment to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital (the "Buyer") for $375.0 million in total consideration, comprised of $315.0 million in cash, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the agreement, and $60.0 million in the form of a promissory note that accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded semi-annually, and interest is payable in kind. On April 1, 2024, we completed the sale of our spine segment for a total purchase price of $377.0 million (inclusive of $2.0 million in closing adjustments) and received proceeds of $311.6 million, excluding the promissory note and transaction costs, but including cash disposed of $26.1 million. See Notes 3 and 8 for additional discussion.

 

Nature of Business

 

ZimVie is a leading medical technology company dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for dental patients worldwide. We develop, manufacture and market a comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions designed to support dental tooth replacement and restoration procedures. Our core services include designing, manufacturing and distributing dental implant systems, dental biomaterial products and digital dentistry solutions. Dental reconstructive implants are for individuals who are totally without teeth or are missing one or more teeth, dental restorative products are aimed at providing aesthetic and functional restoration to resemble the original teeth, and dental biomaterials products are for soft tissue and bone rehabilitation. Our key products include the T3® Implant, Tapered Screw-Vent® Implant System, Trabecular Metal®™ Dental Implant, BellaTek® Encode® Impression System and Puros® Allograft Particulate. We believe we are well-positioned in the growing global dental implant and digital dentistry market with a strong presence in the tooth replacement market and market leading positions in certain geographies.

 

Prior to the closing of the sale of our spine segment, our operations were principally managed on a products basis and included two operating segments; 1) the dental products segment (as discussed above), and 2) the spine products segment. The core services of our spine segment included designing, manufacturing and distributing medical devices and surgical instruments to deliver comprehensive solutions for individuals with back or neck pain caused by degenerative conditions, deformities or traumatic injury of the spine. We also provided devices that promote bone healing. Other differentiated products in our spine portfolio included Mobi-C® Cervical Disc, a motion-preserving alternative to fusion for patients with cervical disc disease, and The Tether™, a novel non-fusion device for treatment of pediatric scoliosis.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Prior to March 1, 2022, we existed and functioned as part of the consolidated business of Zimmer Biomet. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a standalone basis and, for months prior to March 1, 2022, were prepared on a carveout basis from Zimmer Biomet’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records, and, accordingly, may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows had we operated as a standalone company during those periods, or comparable to our financial position subsequent to March 1, 2022.

 

On March 1, 2022, ZimVie became a standalone publicly traded company, and our financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements for all periods presented, including our historical results prior to March 1, 2022, are now referred to as "Consolidated Financial Statements," and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-K.

 

Prior to the distribution, our equity balance in these consolidated financial statements represented the excess of total assets over liabilities including the due to/from balances between Zimmer Biomet and us (referred to as "net parent investment" or "NPI") and accumulated

other comprehensive loss. NPI was primarily impacted by contributions from Zimmer Biomet that were the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to Zimmer Biomet. Following the distribution, certain functions that Zimmer Biomet provided to us prior to the distribution are being performed using our own resources or third-party service providers following the completion of transition services agreements in 2023. Additionally, under manufacturing and supply agreements, we manufacture certain products for Zimmer Biomet and Zimmer Biomet manufactures certain products for us. We have incurred certain costs to establish ourselves as a standalone public company, as well as ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company.

 

Sale of Spine Business - As discussed above, on December 15, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our spine segment. The historical results of our spine segment have been reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements as the sale represented a strategic shift in our business that had a major effect on operations and financial results. The assets and liabilities associated with this segment are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets. The disclosures presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted.

 

Out of Period Adjustments - During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded out of period adjustments that increased the Loss from continuing operations before income taxes and reduced Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, by $1.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. We have concluded these out of period adjustments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 or interim periods within the year ended December 31, 2024, nor were they material to previously issued interim and annual consolidated financial statements.
