ZIMMER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K filed by Zimmer Holdings, Inc. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 2006 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for the full year. Certain amounts in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 include the correction of an error in presentation of $20.2 million, which had previously been reported in the three month period ended March 31, 2007, as a component of the change in receivables in operating cash flows and is now appropriately reported as proceeds from employee stock compensation in financing cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Management does not consider this error in presentation to be material to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The words “we”, “us”, “our” and similar words refer to Zimmer Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Zimmer Holdings refers to the parent company only.
2. | Acquisitions |
We have made acquisitions that took place during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 which are described below. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” (SFAS No. 141). Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in our consolidated results of operations subsequent to the transaction dates, and the respective assets and liabilities of the acquired companies have been recorded at their estimated fair values in our consolidated statement of financial position as of the transaction dates, with any excess purchase price being allocated to goodwill. Pro forma financial information has not been included as the acquisitions did not have a material impact upon our financial position or results of operations.
Endius, Inc.
On April 20, 2007, we acquired Endius, Inc. (Endius), a privately held spinal products company based in Massachusetts, for an initial aggregate value of approximately $80 million in cash, before adjustments for debt repayment and other items. Endius develops and manufactures minimally invasive spine surgery products, implants and techniques to treat spine disease. The acquisition of Endius will expand our spine product portfolio to include innovative minimally invasive instruments and implants.
Diadent, Srl.
On April 27, 2007, we acquired Diadent, Srl. (Diadent), a privately held distributor of our dental products in Italy, in a cash transaction. The acquisition of Diadent will provide us with direct sales of dental implants in Italy.
U.S. Distributor Network
During the quarter, we made investments in our U.S. based distribution network, including the acquisition of certain orthopaedic implant distribution businesses. These investments and acquisitions are expected to increase future revenues by enhancing our U.S. sales and distribution infrastructure.

6. | Income Taxes |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48 we had a long term tax liability for expected settlement of various federal, state and foreign income tax liabilities that was reflected net of the corollary tax impact of these expected settlements of $102.1 million, as well as a separate accrued interest liability of $1.7 million. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we are required to present the different components of such liability on a gross basis versus the historical net presentation. The adoption resulted in the financial statement liability for unrecognized tax benefits decreasing by $6.4 million as of January 1, 2007. The adoption resulted in this decrease in the liability as well as a reduction to retained earnings of $4.7 million, a reduction in goodwill of $61.4 million, the establishment of a tax receivable of $58.2 million, and an increase in an interest/penalty payable of $7.9 million, all as of January 1, 2007. Therefore, after the adoption of FIN 48, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is $95.7 million as of January 1, 2007, of which $28.6 million would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is $103.9 million as of June 30, 2007. Of this amount, $30.8 million would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. As of January 1, 2007, we recorded a liability of $9.6 million for accrued interest and penalties, of which $7.5 million would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. The amount of this liability is $11.5 million as of June 30, 2007. Of this amount, $8.6 million would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized.
We expect that the amount of tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, we do not expect these changes will have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the year 2003 and onward with years 2003 and 2004 currently under examination by the IRS. It is reasonably possible that a resolution with the IRS for the years 2003 through 2004 will be reached within the next twelve months, but we do not anticipate this would result in any material impact on our financial position. In addition, for the 1999 tax year of Centerpulse, which we acquired in October 2003, one issue remains in dispute at the IRS appeals level. The resolution of this issue would not impact our effective tax rate as it would be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.
State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeals or litigation. It is reasonably possible that such matters will be resolved in the next twelve months, but we do not anticipate that the resolution of these matters would result in any material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
Foreign jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. Years still open to examination by foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include Australia (2001 onward), Canada (1998 onward), France (2004 onward), Germany (2000 onward), Italy (2003 onward), Japan (2000 onward), Puerto Rico (2005 onward), Singapore (2002 onward), Switzerland (2004 onward), and the United Kingdom (2004 onward).
Our tax returns are currently under examination in various foreign jurisdictions, including Germany, Italy and Switzerland. It is reasonably possible that such audits will be resolved in the next twelve months, but we do not anticipate that the resolution of these audits would result in any material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

7. | Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans |
We have defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. and Puerto Rico employees who were hired before September 2, 2002. Employees hired after September 2, 2002 are not part of the U.S. and Puerto Rico defined benefit plans, but do receive additional benefits under our defined contribution plans. Plan benefits are primarily based on years of credited service and the participant’s compensation. In addition to the U.S. and Puerto Rico defined benefit pension plans, we sponsor variousnon-U.S. pension arrangements, including retirement and termination benefit plans required by local law or coordinated with government sponsored plans.
We also provide comprehensive medical and group life insurance benefits to certain U.S. and Puerto Rico retirees who elect to participate in our comprehensive medical and group life plans. The medical plan is contributory, and the life insurance plan is non-contributory. Employees hired after September 2, 2002 are not eligible for retiree medical and life insurance benefits. No similar plans exist for employees outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
The components of net pension expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, for our U.S. andnon-U.S. defined benefit retirement plans are as follows (in millions):

We contributed $4.4 million to our foreign-based defined benefit plans in the six month period ended June 30, 2007, and expect to contribute an additional $3.8 million to these foreign-based plans during 2007. Contributions for the U.S. and Puerto Rico postretirement benefit plans are not expected to be significant.
8. | Share-Based Compensation |
Share-based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 was $20.2 million and $41.1 million, or $13.7 million and $28.0 million net of the related tax benefits, respectively. Share-based

compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was $20.8 million and $39.0 million, or $15.1 million and $28.0 million net of the related tax benefits, respectively.
A summary of stock option activity for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 is as follows (options in thousands):

The weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was $24.71 per option. As of June 30, 2007, there was $113.1 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to nonvested stock options granted under our plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.
At June 30, 2007 there were 827,700 nonvested equity share units, with a grant date fair value of $67.86. The unrecognized share-based payment expense as of June 30, 2007 was $13 million, and is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.5 years.
9. | Stock Repurchase Program |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, we purchased 1,520,456 shares of our common stock at an average price of $86.69 per share for a total cash outlay of $131.8 million, including commissions, and 3,604,256 shares of our common stock at an average price of $84.66 per share for a total cash outlay of $305.2 million, including commissions, under stock repurchase plans authorized by our Board of Directors in December 2005 and 2006.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, an average of 0.1 million options and 0.6 million options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, an average of 8.6 million options and 8.7 million options, respectively, were not included.

12. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS No. 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 creates a “fair value option” under which an entity may elect to record certain financial assets or liabilities at fair value upon their initial recognition. Subsequent changes in fair value would be recognized in earnings as those changes occur. The election of the fair value option would be made on acontract-by-contract basis and would need to be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy. SFAS No. 159 requires an entity to separately disclose the fair value of these items on the balance sheet or in the footnotes to the financial statements and to provide information that would allow the financial statement user to understand the impact on earnings from the changes in the fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

13. | Commitments and Contingencies |
As a result of the Centerpulse acquisition, we acquired the entity involved in Centerpulse’s hip and knee implant litigation matter. The litigation was a result of a voluntary recall of certain hip and knee implants manufactured and sold by Centerpulse. On March 13, 2002, a U.S. Class Action Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) was entered into by Centerpulse that resolved U.S. claims related to the affected products and a settlement trust (“Settlement Trust”) was established and funded for the most part by Centerpulse. The court approved the settlement arrangement on May 8, 2002. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we will reimburse the Settlement Trust a specified amount for each revision surgery over 4,000 and revisions on reprocessed shells over 64. As of June 29, 2007, the claims administrator has received 4,133 likely valid claims for hips (cut-off date June 5, 2003) and knees (cut-off date November 17, 2003) and 200 claims for reprocessed shells (cut-off date September 8, 2004). We believe the litigation liability recorded as of June 30, 2007 is adequate to provide for any future claims regarding the hip and knee implant litigation.
On February 15, 2005, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (“Howmedica”) filed an action against us and an unrelated party in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,174,934; 6,372,814; 6,664,308; and 6,818,020. On June 13, 2007, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment on the invalidity of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,174,934; 6,372,814; and 6,664,308 by ruling that all of the asserted claims are invalid for indefiniteness. Our motion for summary judgment on the invalidity of certain asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,818,020 remains pending before the Court. We continue to believe that our defenses are valid and meritorious, and we intend to defend the Howmedica lawsuit vigorously.
We are also subject to product liability and other claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, for which we maintain insurance, subject to self-insured retention limits. We establish accruals for product liability and other claims in conjunction with outside counsel based on current information and historical settlement information for open claims, related fees and for claims incurred but not reported. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these cases, it is the opinion of management that, upon ultimate resolution, these cases will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2003, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission informed Centerpulse that it was conducting an informal investigation of Centerpulse relating to certain accounting issues. We are continuing to fully cooperate with the Securities and Exchange Commission in this matter.
In March 2005, we received a subpoena and we have received supplemental requests since that time from the United States Department of Justice through the United States Attorney’s Office in Newark, New Jersey, requesting that we produce documents and related information for the period beginning January 1998 pertaining to consulting contracts, professional service agreements and other agreements by which we may provide remuneration to orthopaedic surgeons, including research and other grant agreements. We understand that similar inquiries were directed to at least four other companies in the orthopaedics industry.
We continue to cooperate fully with federal authorities with regard to this matter. We recently began discussions, which are still in preliminary stages, with respect to a potential resolution of this matter. Given that these discussions are still preliminary, there can be no assurance that we will enter into a consensual resolution of this matter with federal authorities or what the terms of any such resolution may be.
In June 2006, we received a subpoena from the United States Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, requesting that we produce documents for the period beginning January 2001 through June 2006, pertaining to an investigation of possible violations of federal criminal law, including possible violations of the antitrust laws, involving the manufacture and sale of orthopaedic implant devices. We are cooperating fully with federal authorities with regard to this matter. We understand that similar inquiries were directed to at least four other companies in the orthopaedics industry.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Following the commencement of the Department of Justice, Antitrust Division’s investigation, we and several other major orthopaedic manufacturers were named as defendants in five putative class action lawsuits as of January 1, 2007. These lawsuits were brought by direct and indirect purchasers of orthopaedic products alleging violations of Federal and state antitrust laws and certain state consumer protection statutes. In each of these lawsuits, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants engaged in a conspiracy to fix prices of orthopaedic implant devices. The direct purchaser cases,South Central Surgical Center, LLC v. Zimmer Holdings, Inc. et al.andChaiken DDS, P.C. v. Biomet, Inc. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on July 13, 2006 and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana on July 26, 2006, respectively. The indirect purchaser cases,Thomas v. Biomet, Inc. et al.,Kirschner v. Biomet, Inc. et al. andWilliams v. Biomet, Inc. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee on July 18, 2006, July 24, 2006 and July 27, 2006, respectively.
On January 12, 2007, we and the other defendants in the five cases delivered a Motion for Transfer and Consolidation of Pretrial Proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, requesting the court to transfer the cases to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. The motion was filed by the Panel on January 18, 2007. The plaintiffs did not oppose a stay of proceedings pending resolution of this motion. On January 15, 2007, the plaintiff inThomas v. Biomet, Inc. et al. filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On April 18, 2007, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued a Transfer Order ordering that the three remaining actions pending outside the Southern District of Indiana be transferred to that district for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings with the action already pending in that district. In each of these four remaining cases, the plaintiffs seek damages of unspecified amounts, in some cases to be trebled under applicable law, attorneys’ fees and injunctive or other unspecified relief. We believe these lawsuits are without merit and we intend to defend them vigorously.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
We are a global leader in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of reconstructive orthopaedic implants, including joint and dental, spinal implants, trauma products and related orthopaedic surgical products (sometimes referred to in this report as “OSP”). We also provide hospital-focused consulting services to help member institutions design, implement and manage successful orthopaedic programs, which account for less than one percent of sales. Reconstructive orthopaedic implants restore joint function lost due to disease or trauma in joints such as knees, hips, shoulders and elbows. Dental reconstructive implants restore function and aesthetics in patients that have lost teeth due to trauma or disease. Spinal implants are utilized by orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons in the treatment of degenerative diseases, deformities and trauma in all regions of the spine. Trauma products are devices used primarily to reattach or stabilize damaged bone and tissue to support the body’s natural healing process. OSP includes supplies and instruments designed to aid in orthopaedic surgical procedures and post-operation rehabilitation. Through our consulting services, we provide hospitals and other orthopaedic practices resource capabilities in the areas of business development, marketing, in/outpatient rehab practice, clinical pathways, care mapping and space design, community relations, customer service, delivery models, cost accounting, staff utilization and other areas. We have operations in more than 24 countries and market products in more than 100 countries. We manage operations through three reportable geographic segments — the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Certain percentages presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts and therefore may not recalculate from the rounded numbers used for disclosure purposes.
We believe the following developments or trends are important in understanding our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
Demand (Volume and Mix) Trends
Increased volume and changes in the mix of product sales contributed 8 percentage points of sales growth during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 5 percentage points in the same 2006 period. We believe the market for orthopaedic procedure volume on a global basis continues to rise at mid single digit rates with the potential for high single digit growth driven by an aging global population, obesity, proven clinical benefits, new material technologies, advances in surgical techniques (such as ourZimmer® Minimally Invasive Solutionstm (MIS)Procedures and Technologies), introduction of gender based devices and more active lifestyles, among other factors. In addition, the ongoing shift in demand to premium products, such asLongevity®andDurasul®Highly Crosslinked Polyethylenes,Trabecular Metaltm Technology products, high-flex knees, knee revision products and porous hip stems, continues to positively affect sales growth. For example, during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, sales of products incorporatingTrabecular MetalTechnology were approximately $53 million, an increase of over 25 percent compared to the same 2006 period.
We believe innovative products will continue to affect the orthopaedics industry. In the second half of 2006, we launched theZimmer Gender Solutionstm High-Flex Knee Femoral Implant, which was the result of five years of intensive research based on an analysis of 800 femurs and patella. High Flex Knees now make up over 40 percent of our knee revenue on a global basis, having grown from approximately 28 percent prior to the launch of theZimmer Gender SolutionsKnee.
Pricing Trends
Selling prices remained flat during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, which is similar to the same 2006 period. The Americas experienced a 1 percent increase in selling prices during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, which is similar to the same 2006 period. In Europe, selling prices for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 decreased 1 percent, which is similar to the same 2006 period. Within Europe, both Germany and Italy experienced 3 percent decreases in selling prices in the three month period ended June 30, 2007, as a result of reductions in government implant reimbursement rates and group purchasing arrangements while other European markets were flat or slightly positive. Germany and Italy combined currently represent approximately 11 percent of

our sales. Asia Pacific selling prices decreased 1 percent for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to a 3 percent decrease in the same 2006 period. As anticipated, Japan reported a 5 percent decrease in average selling prices as a result of scheduled reductions in government controlled reimbursement prices, while other Asia Pacific markets were flat to positive. Japan currently represents approximately 7 percent of our sales. With the effect of governmental healthcare cost containment efforts and pressure from group purchasing organizations, we expect global selling prices will remain flat in 2007.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
For the three month period ended June 30, 2007, foreign currency exchange rates had a positive 2 percent effect on sales. The positive effect of foreign currency exchange rates is expected to continue in the second half of the year. We estimate that an overall weaker U.S. Dollar will have a positive effect of approximately 2 percent on sales for the year ending December 31, 2007. We address currency risk through regular operating and financing activities, and under appropriate circumstances and subject to proper authorization, through the use of forward contracts solely for managing foreign currency volatility and risk. Changes to foreign currency exchange rates affect sales growth, but due to offsetting gains/losses on hedge contracts, which are recorded in cost of products sold, the effect on net earnings in the near term is expected to be minimal.
New Product Sales
New products, which management defines as products or stock keeping units (SKU’s) introduced within the prior36-month period to a particular market, accounted for 24 percent, or $238 million, of our sales during the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Adoption rates for new technologies are a key indicator of industry performance. Our sales have grown with the introduction of new products, such asTrabecular MetalModular Acetabular Cups, certain SKU’s of theNexGen®Complete Knee Solution including theGender SolutionsKnee Femoral Implant for the LPS-Flex, and CR-Flex Knees, theDynesys®1Dynamic Stabilization System, theZimmerM/L Taper Stem andPALACOS®2 Bone Cement.
We believe new products in our current pipeline should continue to favorably affect our operating performance. Products we expect to contribute to new product sales in 2007 include theGender SolutionsKnee Femoral Implant; products incorporatingTrabecular MetalTechnology, including theTrabecular MetalPrimary Hip Prosthesis,Trabecular MetalAcetabular Revision System andTrabecular MetalSpine Components;Durom® Acetabular Cups withMetasul®LDH® Large Diameter Heads;Versys®Epoch® Composite Hip Prosthesis;Zimmer® Reverse Shoulder System,Anatomical Shouldertm Inverse/Reverse System;ZimmerMIS Femoral Nailing Solutions;NCB® Locking Plate System; andCopiOs® Bone Void Filler.3
New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, we had a long term tax liability for expected settlement of various federal, state and foreign income tax liabilities that was reflected net of the corollary tax impacts of these expected settlements of $102.1 million, as well as a separate accrued interest liability of $1.7 million. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we are required to present the different components of such liability gross versus the historical net presentation. The adoption resulted in the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits decreasing by $6.4 million as of January 1, 2007.

This decrease in the liability resulted in a reduction to retained earnings of $4.7 million, a reduction in goodwill of $61.4 million, the establishment of a tax receivable of $58.2 million, and the addition of an interest/penalty payable of $7.9 million, all as of January 1, 2007.
Acquisitions
We completed the acquisition of Endius on April 20, 2007. The acquisition did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. However, the acquisition costs of approximately $73.0 million did have a significant impact on our cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.
Additionally during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, we completed acquisitions of Diadent Srl., a privately held distributor of our dental products in Italy, and certain U.S. based orthopaedic implant distribution businesses. These acquisitions did not have a material impact on our results of operations, balance sheet or cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.

Changes in foreign exchange rates positively affected knee sales by 3 percent and had no effect on hip sales. Reported decreases in average selling prices negatively affected hip sales by 2 percent. TheNexGenComplete Knee Solution product line, includingNexGen Trabecular MetalTibial Components, theNexGenCR-Flex Knee and theNexGenLPS-Flex Knee led knee sales. Launch of theGender SolutionsKnee Femoral Implant in Australia also contributed to strong knee sales for the period. The continued conversion to porous stems, including the Fiber Metal Taper Stem from theVerSysHip System, theAlloclassic ZweymüllerHip System and theCLS SpotornoStem led hip stem sales. Sales ofLongevityHighly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liners, theDuromHip Resurfacing System andTrabecular MetalAcetabular Cups also exhibited growth.
Extremities sales increased due to stronger sales of our shoulder products. TheTapered Screw-VentImplant System led dental sales. Trauma sales were affected by a reported 5 percent decrease in average selling prices during the three months ended June 30, 2007. A temporary registration issue with theST360°® Spinal Fixation System in Japan resulted in a decrease in sales of this device, contributing to the negative growth in Spine sales for the period. Powered surgical instruments led OSP sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 77.7 percent in the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 77.3 percent in the same 2006 period and 78.3 percent in the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The improvement in gross profit margin over the same 2006 period reflects favorable changes in product and geographic sales mix while the decline from the period ended March 31, 2007 is driven principally by the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates combined with our hedging program. Under our hedging program, for derivatives which qualify as hedges of future cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value is temporarily recorded in other comprehensive income, and then recognized in cost of products sold when the hedged item affects earnings.
Operating Expenses
R&D as a percentage of net sales was 5.5 percent for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, consistent with the same 2006 period. R&D increased to $53.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, from $48.6 million in the same 2006 period, reflecting increased spending on projects focused on areas of strategic significance, including orthobiologics. We target R&D spending to the high end of what management believes to be an average of 4-6 percent for our industry.
SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 38.6 percent for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 39.1 percent in the same 2006 period. SG&A increased to $374.3 million for the three month period ended
20
Table of Contents
June 30, 2007, from $344.8 million in the same 2006 period. The improvement in SG&A as a percent of net sales from the prior year is due primarily to controlled spending.
Acquisition, integration and other expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 were $3.9 million compared to $6.3 million in the same 2006 period. The expenses for the period reflect in-process research and development write-offs related to acquisitions, integration consulting fees and costs for integrating information technology systems.
Operating Profit, Income Taxes and Net Earnings
Operating profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 increased 14 percent to $322.5 million, from $281.9 million in the same 2006 period. Increased sales, improved gross profit margins and controlled operating expenses drove operating profit.
The effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes and minority interest decreased to 28.5 percent for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, from 28.9 percent in the same 2006 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to increased profitability in lower tax jurisdictions.
Net earnings increased 15 percent to $231.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $200.9 million in the same 2006 period. The increase was primarily due to higher operating profit and a lower effective tax rate. Basic and diluted earnings per share both increased 20 percent to $0.98 and $0.97, respectively, from $0.82 and $0.81, respectively, in the same 2006 period. The higher growth rate in earnings per share as compared with net earnings is attributed to the effect of 2006 and 2007 share repurchases.
Operating Profit by Segment
Management evaluates operating segment performance based upon segment operating profit exclusive of operating expenses pertaining to global operations and corporate expenses, share-based payment expense, acquisition, integration and other expenses, inventorystep-up, in-process research and development write-offs and intangible asset amortization expense. Global operations include research, development engineering, medical education, brand management, corporate legal, finance, and human resource functions, and U.S. and Puerto Rico based operations and logistics. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated from segment operating profit. For more information regarding our segments, see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in thisForm 10-Q.
The following table sets forth operating profit as a percentage of sales by segment for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Asia Pacific | 48.2 | 47.9 |
In the Americas, operating profit as a percentage of sales decreased due to increases in spending for direct to patient advertising in the second quarter of this year.
European operating profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from prior year, reflecting lower gross margins as a result of decreases in average selling prices.
Asia Pacific operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to increases in gross margins as compared to the prior year. Gross margins increased throughout most of the Asia Pacific markets, including Japan, despite decreases in average selling prices in Japan as a result of reductions in government controlled reimbursement prices.

Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 78.0 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 77.6 percent in the same 2006 period. Primary contributors to the improvement in gross profit margin were reductions in unit manufacturing cost for various products and the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates

combined with our hedging program. Under our hedging program, we temporarily record the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives which qualify as hedges of future cash flows in other comprehensive income, and then recognize the hedged item in cost of products sold when it affects earnings.
Operating Expenses
R&D as a percentage of net sales was 5.5 percent for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, consistent with the same 2006 period. R&D increased to $105.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, from $96.0 million in the same 2006 period, reflecting increased spending on projects focused on areas of strategic significance, including orthobiologics.
SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 38.3 percent for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 39.0 percent in the same 2006 period. SG&A increased to $735.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, from $679.7 million in the same 2006 period. SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were positively affected by the favorable settlement of a legal claim made against a third party for interference in a contractual relationship with a former distributor of our products.
Acquisition, integration and other expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 were $6.6 million compared to $4.5 million in the same 2006 period. The expenses for the current period reflect in-process research and development write-offs related to acquisitions, estimated settlements for certain pre-acquisition product liability claims, integration consulting fees and costs for integrating information technology systems. The expenses in the prior year period were offset by a gain on the sale of our Austin, Texas facility and land and a favorable adjustment to acquired Centerpulse reserves related to product liabilities.
Operating Profit, Income Taxes and Net Earnings
Operating profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 increased 14 percent to $649.7 million, from $572.4 million in the same 2006 period. Increased sales, improved gross profit margins and controlled operating expenses drove operating profit.
The effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes and minority interest decreased to 28.5 percent for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, from 29.1 percent in the same 2006 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to increased profitability in lower tax jurisdictions.
Net earnings increased 14 percent to $464.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $406.5 million in the same 2006 period. The increase was primarily due to higher operating profit and a lower effective tax rate. Basic and diluted earnings per share each increased 19 percent, respectively, to $1.96 and $1.94, respectively, from $1.65 and $1.63, respectively, in the same 2006 period. The higher growth rate in earnings per share as compared with net earnings is attributed to the effect of 2006 and 2007 share repurchases.

European operating profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from the prior year, reflecting lower gross margins as a result of decreases in average selling prices.
Asia Pacific operating profit as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily due to increases in operating expenses as a percent of sales as compared to the prior year. Operating expenses grew at a faster rate than sales in Japan where average selling prices decreased by 5 percent as a result of reductions in government controlled reimbursement prices.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $495.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $507.9 million in the same 2006 period. The principal source of cash was net earnings of $464.9 million. The positive cash flow associated with the tax benefit from stock option exercises was $12.3 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Operating cash flows from working capital changes for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 decreased compared to the same 2006 period primarily due to increased pension funding and tax payments made during 2007.
We continue to focus on working capital management. At June 30, 2007, we had 58 days of sales outstanding in trade accounts receivable, which is favorable to June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007 by 1 day. At June 30, 2007, we had 284 days of inventory on hand, unfavorable to June 30, 2006 by 11 days and favorable to March 31, 2007 by 3 days. Our inventory levels increased in 2007 due to preparation for new product launches and increased production.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $255.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $112.1 million used in investing in the same 2006 period. The biggest contributor to the increase in cash flows used in investing activities was the acquisition costs related to the acquisitions of Endius, Diadent and the additions to our U.S. distributor network. Cash payments related to acquisitions during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 were $112.1 million compared to $13.5 million in the same 2006 period. Additions to instruments increased during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 due to an increase in instrument deployments related to new product launches. Additions to other property, plant and equipment increased during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as we continue to expand our manufacturing and research and development facilities.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $147.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $297.7 million used in financing activities in the same 2006 period. Proceeds from our stock compensation plans have increased in the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same 2006 period due to an increase in employee stock option exercises. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we purchased 3.6 million common shares for a total of $305.2 million under our stock repurchase programs, compared to $316.4 million in the same 2006 period.
We have a five year $1,350 million revolving, multi-currency, senior unsecured credit facility maturing March 31, 2010 (the “Senior Credit Facility”). We had $95.2 million outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility at June 30, 2007, and therefore, our available borrowings were $1,254.8 million. The $95.2 million is owed by our Japan subsidiary and carries a low interest rate, which is why we have not repaid the debt. The Senior Credit Facility contains a provision whereby borrowings may be increased to $1,750 million.
We and certain of our wholly owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries are the borrowers, and our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are the guarantors, of the Senior Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are used for general corporate purposes and bear interest at a LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to our senior unsecured long-term credit rating and the amounts drawn under the Senior Credit Facility, at an alternate base rate, or at a fixed rate determined through a competitive bid process. The Senior Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for an unsecured financing arrangement, including, among other things, limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. Financial covenants include a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0. If we fall below an investment grade credit rating, additional restrictions would result, including restrictions on investments, payment of dividends and stock repurchases. We were in compliance with all covenants under the
26
Table of Contents
Senior Credit Facility as of June 30, 2007. Commitments under the Senior Credit Facility are subject to certain fees, including a facility and a utilization fee. The Senior Credit Facility was upgraded to A- in April 2007 by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. The Senior Credit Facility is not rated by Moody’s Investors’ Service, Inc.
We also have available uncommitted credit facilities totaling $67.0 million.
In December 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1 billion through December 31, 2007. In December 2006, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion program through December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, we had purchased shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 billion, including commissions, under these programs. We may use excess cash to purchase additional common stock under the program authorized in 2006.
Management believes that cash flows from operations, together with available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, are sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service needs. Should investment opportunities arise, we believe that our earnings, balance sheet and cash flows will allow us to obtain additional capital, if necessary.
Contractual Obligations
We have entered into contracts with various third parties in the normal course of business which will require future payments. The following table illustrates our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007, including the adoption of FIN 48 (in millions):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS No. 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 creates a “fair value option” under which an entity may elect to record certain financial assets or liabilities at fair value upon their initial recognition. Subsequent changes in fair value would be recognized in earnings as those changes occur. The election of the fair value option would be made on acontract-by-contract basis and would need to be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy. SFAS No. 159 requires an entity to separately disclose the fair value of these items on the balance sheet or in the footnotes to the financial statements and to provide information that would allow the financial statement user to understand the impact on earnings from the changes in the fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. On January 1, 2007 we adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. FIN 48 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position.
There were no other changes in the six month period ended June 30, 2007 to the application of critical accounting estimates as described in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We discuss these and other important risks and uncertainties that may affect our future operations in Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report onForm 10-K and may update that discussion in Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors in this or another Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q we file hereafter. Readers of this report are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. While we believe the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. This cautionary statement is applicable to all forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
There have been no material changes from the information provided in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We have established disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known on a timely basis to management and the Board of Directors. However, no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined inRule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined inRule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
