WESTMINSTER, Colo., Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZimVie Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIMV), a global life sciences leader in the dental and spine markets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Management will host a corresponding conference call today, November 1, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
“In the third quarter, we continued to make progress on our innovation platform as we work to actively reshape our portfolio and further penetrate into the markets with the best long-term growth potential,” said Vafa Jamali, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In parallel, we are improving our operating efficiency and working to increase our cash position.”
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Third party net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $202.9 million, a decrease of (4.9%) on a reported basis and (5.0%) on a constant currency[1] basis, versus the third quarter of 2022. Third party dental sales of $105.3 million grew 0.2% on a reported basis and declined (1.2%) on a constant currency[1] basis, primarily driven by one less selling day in the third quarter of 2023 versus the third quarter of 2022 impacting global dental sales by (1.6%). Third party spine sales of $97.6 million decreased by ($10.6) million, or (9.8%) on a reported basis and (8.9%) on a constant currency[1] basis, primarily driven by continued competitive pressures, lower net sales due to our exit of spine products activities in China impacting global spine sales by (2.6%), and one less selling day impacting global spine sales by (1.4%).
Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was ($5.1) million, a change of ($5.9) million versus net income of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, and as a percentage of third party net sales was (2.5%). The increase in net loss was primarily due to lower net sales and higher cost of products sold in the spine products category due to the release of a spin-related contingent liability in the prior year, partially offset by operating expense savings in the dental and spine product categories from the announced restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives.
Adjusted net income[1] for the third quarter of 2023 was $2.2 million, a decrease of ($10.7) million versus the same prior year period.
Basic and diluted EPS were ($0.19) and adjusted diluted EPS[1] was $0.08 for the third quarter of 2023. Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and adjusted diluted EPS were 26.5 million and 27.0 million, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA[1] for the third quarter of 2023 was $25.8 million, or 12.7% of third party net sales, a decrease of ($3.6) million and 110 basis points, respectively, from the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by lower net sales and higher cost of products sold, partially offset by restructuring-related operating expense savings, as cited above.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2023 were $75.4 million and reflect the prepayment of principal debt payments through the third quarter of 2024.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided in this release for certain periods, and is calculated by excluding certain items from net loss on a GAAP basis, as detailed in the reconciliations presented later in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by third party net sales for the applicable period.
Sales change information in this release is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on a constant currency basis. Constant currency percentage changes exclude the effects of foreign currency exchange rates. They are calculated by translating current and prior-period sales at the same predetermined exchange rate. The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or decreases.
Net loss and diluted loss per share in this release are presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on an adjusted basis. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effects of certain items, which are detailed in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures presented later in this press release.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful incremental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the company. Management believes these measures offer the ability to make period-to-period comparisons that are not impacted by certain items that can cause dramatic changes in reported income but that do not impact the fundamentals of our operations. The non-GAAP measures enable the evaluation of operating results and trend analysis by allowing a reader to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for the year ending December 31, 2023. We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable efforts. For example, the timing of certain transactions is difficult to predict because management’s plans may change. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. It is probable that these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
