(WARSAW, IN) January 29, 2007 — Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SWX: ZMH) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. For the fourth quarter, the Company announced net sales of $934 million, an increase of 10% reported and 8% constant currency, exceeding First Call estimates of $925 million. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $1.02 reported and adjusted, exceeding First Call earnings estimates of $0.99 adjusted. Reported and adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 include a $0.06 per diluted share impact related to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted this new accounting standard using the modified-prospective method. In accordance with this adoption method, the Company has not adjusted its historical financial statements to reflect the impact of Share-Based Payment. Excluding the effect of Share-Based Payment, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $1.08, an increase of 26% over prior year. Full year net sales were $3.5 billion and diluted earnings per share were $3.40 reported and $3.44 adjusted. Excluding the effect of Share-Based Payment, full year diluted earnings per share were $3.65 adjusted, an increase of 18% over prior year.

“For the quarter, we are pleased with our double-digit sales increase. Almost 10,000 Zimmer® Gender Solutions™ Knees implanted helped drive the Americas’ three full points of sequential quarterly sales growth,” said Ray Elliott, Zimmer Chairman, President and CEO. “For the year, we generated $0.62 of adjusted operating profit on each new sales dollar, contributing to record operating cash flow that topped $1 billion, a 125% to cash conversion ratio from net earnings.”

During the quarter, the Company continued to ramp up its sales and marketing efforts related to the Zimmer® Gender Solutions™ Knee. A concerted direct-to-consumer marketing campaign

was undertaken to support the launch. To date, nearly 200 million media impressions have been generated in a communications campaign designed to educate consumers about the differences in female knee anatomy. Over 70,000 hits were received in the latter part of 2006 on the Company’s new www.GenderKnee.com website. The direct-to-patient campaign will expand during the first half of 2007 to 23 U.S. cities as product and instrument availability is increased substantially to meet broader demand.

“During the year, we experienced a tremendous flow of new products and reached a Zimmer record 24% of sales coming from new products, including $229 million in the fourth quarter,” said Elliott. Key new products, in addition to the Gender Solutions knee, included: the Trabecular Metal™ Primary Hip Prosthesis; the Trabecular Metal Acetabular Revision System; the Durom® Acetabular Cup with Metasul® LDH™ Large Diameter Heads; Epoch® II Composite Hip Stem; Trilogy AB® Ceramic-on-Ceramic Acetabular System; Zimmer® Reverse and Inverse Anatomical™ Shoulder Systems; Zimmer® Minimally Invasive Solutions™ Femoral Nailing Solutions; Zimmer NCB® Plating System; Trinica^® Anterior Lumbar Plate (ALP) System; Dynesys® Dynamic Stabilization System with hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated screws; Trabecular Metal Thoracolumbar Components; and CopiOs™ Bone Void Filler Sponge.

“At the end of 2006, we adopted a new set of corporate strategic initiatives designed to take us beyond those that have served us exceedingly well since 1997,” said Elliott. “We have now organized our efforts around ‘Enable, Innovate and Grow.’ These strategic initiatives are clearly evolutionary, not revolutionary. We will focus our attention on nine mandates to support these initiatives—women’s musculoskeletal health, biologics, health economics, advanced materials, Zimmer® SmartTools, advanced Zimmer® Institute education, spine/dental expansion, new audiences and infrastructure investments.”

During 2006, the Company reached the end of its three-year plan for the integration of Centerpulse AG, which it acquired on October 2, 2003. More than 3,000 milestones were completed. The Company said it has realized annual synergies of more than $100 million, exceeding the originally projected $70 to $90 million.

In the fourth quarter, the Company purchased 2.2 million common shares for a total of $168 million as part of its $1 billion repurchase program announced in 2005. Total purchases for the year were 12.1 million shares for a total of $799 million. In addition to the $201 million in authorization still available under this program, which expires December 31, 2007, a second $1 billion repurchase program was authorized by the Board of Directors in December 2006 with an expiration date of December 31, 2008.

During the fourth quarter, Mr. Elliott announced that he plans to retire as President and CEO of the Company during the first half of 2007, assuming that a successor CEO has been named. He will remain Chairman through at least November 2007.

Net earnings for the fourth quarter were $245 million on a reported and adjusted basis. Fourth quarter adjusted net earnings, excluding the effect of Share-Based Payment, were $260 million, a 21% increase over the fourth quarter of 2005.

Net earnings for the full year 2006 were $835 million on a reported basis, and were $843 million adjusted, an increase of 9% adjusted over the prior year period. Full year 2006 adjusted net earnings, excluding the effect of Share-Based Payment, were $897 million, a 16% increase over the full year 2005.

Guidance

The Company is increasing its sales and adjusted earnings per share guidance for 2007.

Full year 2007 sales are expected to be approximately $3,851 million, representing an increase of 10.2% over 2006. This is $40 million over current First Call consensus and a $20 million increase from the middle of the Company’s previous range communicated in a press release on December 13, 2006. Since the Company’s December 13 guidance, the U.S. dollar has strengthened, reducing expected full year 2007 sales growth by about $25 million. The new guidance, therefore, is a $45 million increase over the implied constant currency growth previously communicated.

Quarterly sales expectations for 2007 are being increased to approximately:


	Sales Guidance					Current First Call
	(approximate dollars					Consensus (dollars
Period	in millions)		% Growth			in millions)
First Quarter	$	932		8	%	$	929
Second Quarter	$	970		10	%	$	964
Third Quarter	$	905		10	%	$	899
Fourth Quarter	$	1,044		12	%	$	1,016
Full Year	$	3,851		10	%	$	3,811

As communicated previously, sales estimates for the first quarter incorporate the following contributing factors: four fewer billing days in Japan, the Company’s second largest country market; the full year effect of the April 1, 2006 price decrease in Japan as well as the additional price decrease in Japan effective January 1, 2007, both of which have been announced previously; and the loss of the Company’s OrthoPat distribution contract, effective February 28, 2006. Excluding these factors, expected first quarter sales growth would be approximately 10%.

Sales estimates assume foreign currency exchange rates in effect on January 23, 2007 remain unchanged throughout 2007, resulting in an additional $29 million or 0.8% of sales growth for 2007 over 2006.

The Company is increasing its adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for full year 2007 by $0.05 from the middle of its previous range to $3.95, representing an increase of approximately 15% over 2006. Quarterly expectations for 2007 are being increased to approximately:


	Adjusted
	Earnings Per Share					Current First Call
Period	Guidance		% Growth			Consensus
First Quarter	$	0.93		13	%	$	.92
Second Quarter	$	0.97		17	%	$	.97
Third Quarter	$	0.90		17	%	$	.90
Fourth Quarter	$	1.15		13	%	$	1.12
Full Year	$	3.95		15	%	$	3.91

Earnings in the first quarter are expected to grow at a slower rate than the remaining quarters of 2007 due to the previously mentioned lower sales growth and planned spending in direct-to-consumer advertising in support of the Company’s new Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee.
