2022 Guidance
Zimmer Biomet updated its financial guidance for 2022.
Revenues are expected to be down 1% to up 1% (an improvement from the earlier band of down 1.5% to up 0.5%) compared with 2021.
Adjusted EPS for the full year is expected in the range of $6.70-$6.90 (a rise from the projection of $6.65-$6.85 earlier).
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2022 adjusted earnings is pegged at $6.80 on revenues of $6.69 billion.
Our Take
Zimmer Biomet ended the second quarter of 2022 with better-than-expected earnings and revenues. Each of the company’s geographic segments and product divisions barring “other” recorded year-over-year sales growth at CER. A raised 2022 guidance is indicative of this improving trend to continue for the rest of the year. However, a contraction in the company’s gross margins is concerning. A significant reduction in R&D expenses too increases concern about pipeline-related progress.
