The company is anticipated to have generated strong sales with Z1, the new triple-taper hip system for interior heap implant procedures, and the automated hip surgical impactor system HAMMR.Further, robotics and navigation platforms like OrthoGrid are expected to have gained market share in the third quarter. Following the completion of the OrthoGrid acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2024, the company now has a complete product portfolio in hips. In September, Zimmer Biomet received Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (“PMDA”) approval in Japan for its iTaperloc Complete and iG7 Hip System, the world's first approved orthopedic implants with Iodine Technology that inhibits bacterial adhesion on the implant surface. This might have had a positive impact on the company’s third-quarter top-line performance.Our model estimates ZBH’s total Hips business to report 6.4% year-over-year growth.Within the Knees business, Zimmer Biomet is likely to have gained from the ongoing rapid traction of the Persona portfolio and increased penetration of ROSA. The company also expects strong early adoption of the Oxford partial cementless knee system in the to-be-reported quarter. As per our model, the total Knee business is expected to report 10.1% year-over-year growth this time around.In the third quarter, the S.E.T business is expected to have continued its growth run, led by key areas like CMFT, Sports Medicine and upper extremities. The previous quarter marked the seventh consecutive quarter of mid-single-digit growth for the segment. We expect this trend to have continued in the third quarter of 2025 as well.In the previous quarter, the company completed the acquisition of Paragon 28, Inc. This agreement has expanded the foot and ankle deformity offerings while bolstering the existing fracture and trauma as well as joint replacement portfolios. Additionally, Zimmer Biomet’s RibFix Advantage Fixation System has received CE Mark certification. These developments might have had a positive impact on the company’s third-quarter top-line performance.Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.
