Zimmer Biomet reported 1Q22 orthopedic sales of $1.66 billion, +3.9% vs. 1Q21.
In the company’s first quarter since spinning off its spine and dental businesses, Zimmer Biomet benefitted from a faster than expected elective procedure recovery as COVID relents in parts of the world. The rebound of elective procedures more than offset other pressures, like staffing shortages and inflation.
The company’s ZBEdge digital portfolio bolstered both knee and hip replacement sales. The company has over 600 ROSA robotic units in the field currently. Zimmer Biomet leadership said they saw no indications of hospital spending constraints to this point. However, the company is strategically prioritizing share-agreement placements over outright sales.
Zimmer Biomet’s trauma segment came under pressure in the first quarter, largely due to China’s COVID surge and volume-based purchasing policy. However, VBP will be a net neutral for the company in 2022.
All told, the strong start to 2022 spurred Zimmer Biomet to raise and tighten its guidance range. The company now expects full-year reported growth between -1.5% to +0.5% compared to 2021.
