The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 2016 condensed consolidated 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 (“GAAP”). Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for the full year.
