Lichtman wrote:
“ZBH reported better-than-expected 4Q sales on 2/1 of $2.07B (+1.6% cc) vs our/ consensus $2.05B/2.06B, led by outperformance in Other which more than offset lower Knees. EPS was in line on higher opex and interest/other; GM was better than expected. Initial 2019 sales guidance is for reported growth of -0.5% to +0.5% yoy including ~100-150bps FX headwind, and EPS of $7.70-7.90 (bracketing consensus). With supply now no longer a barrier to stated turnaround timelines, management is shifting focus to new product launches including ongoing cementless knee, ROSA robotics knee (recently FDA cleared) and spine (pending approval), and PERSONA revision knee. ROSA will be in focus at AAOS in March. Management is also shifting from solely supply recovery to supply chain efficiency initiatives.”
