NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 2019 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.
Risks and Uncertainties - Our results have been and are expected to continue to be significantly impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic. The vast majority of our net sales are derived from products used in elective surgical procedures which are being deferred due to lockdowns, stay-at-home measures and other precautions. The consequences of COVID-19 continue to be extremely fluid and there are many market dynamics and impacts that we are unable to quantify at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a significant unfavorable effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the near term.
The words “we,” “us,” “our” and similar words and “Zimmer Biomet” refer to Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. “Zimmer Biomet Holdings” refers to the parent company only.
We reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have made our best estimates, as appropriate under GAAP, in the recognition of our assets and liabilities. These estimates have considered the impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Such estimates included, but were not limited to, variable consideration to our customers, our allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses, the net realizable value of our inventory, the fair value of our goodwill and the recoverability of other long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance describes the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model which requires an estimate of expected impairment on financial instruments over the lifetime of the assets at each reporting date. Financial instruments in scope of the guidance include financial assets measured at amortized cost. Previous accounting guidance required recognition of impairment when it was probable the loss has been incurred. Under the CECL model, lifetime expected credit losses are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasted information. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. Adoption of this standard required the modified retrospective transition method, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $3.1 million. The adoption primarily impacted our trade receivables. Our concentrations of credit risks are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across a number of geographic areas. Substantially all of our trade receivables are concentrated in the public and private hospital and healthcare industry in the U.S. and internationally or with distributors or dealers who operate in international markets. Our historical credit losses have not been significant due to this dispersion and the financial stability of our customers. We consider credit losses immaterial to our business and, therefore, have not provided all the disclosures otherwise required by the standard. We have updated our accounting policy disclosure for accounts receivable as follows:
8
Accounts receivable consists of trade and other miscellaneous receivables. We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses. Our concentrations of credit risks are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across a number of geographic areas. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by geographic market and take into consideration historical credit experience, creditworthiness of the customer and other pertinent information. We make concerted efforts to collect all accounts receivable, but sometimes we have to write-off the account against the allowance when we determine the account is uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $77.3 million and $65.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Our policy for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement was already aligned with the new guidance. ASU 2018-15 also provides guidance on how these implementation costs are to be recorded in the statement of earnings, balance sheet and statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Starting in the first quarter of 2020, we have updated our product category revenue reporting format. These changes are designed to further align with our recent reorganization. Product category sales include the following changes:
|
•
|
Surgical products, previously reported in the S.E.T. (Sports Medicine, Extremities and Trauma) product category, are included in the Other product category;
|
|
•
|
Dental products are combined with Spine and CMF (Craniomaxillofacial) products into one product category;
|
|
•
|
The CMF product category name has been changed to CMFT (Craniomaxillofacial and Thoracic), to reflect the Thoracic business, which is included in that category; and
|
|
•
|
Other immaterial adjustments related to brand alignment within product categories in the Asia Pacific region have been made.
|
Prior period product category sales have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

4. Restructuring
In December 2019, our Board of Directors approved, and we initiated, a new global restructuring program (the “2019 Restructuring Plan”) with an objective of reducing costs to allow us to further invest in higher priority growth opportunities. The 2019 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $350 million to $400 million and reduce gross annual pre-tax operating expenses by approximately $200 million to $300 million by the end of 2023 as program benefits are realized. The pre-tax restructuring charges consist of employee termination benefits; contract terminations for facilities and sales agents; and other charges, such as consulting fees, project management and relocation costs. The restructuring charges incurred in the first six months of 2020 primarily related to employee termination benefits, distributor contract terminations, consulting and project management. The following table summarizes the liabilities recognized related to the 2019 Restructuring Plan (in millions):

For the expense estimated to be recognized for the 2019 Restructuring Plan, we have disclosed the midpoint in our estimated range of expenses. We do not include restructuring charges in the operating profit of our reportable segments.
In our condensed consolidated statement of earnings, we report restructuring charges in our “Restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives” financial statement line item. We report the expenses for other cost reduction initiatives with restructuring expenses because these activities also have the goal of reducing costs across the organization. However, since the cost reduction initiative expenses are not considered restructuring, they have been excluded from the amounts presented in this note.

As discussed further in Note 15, in connection with the 2019 Restructuring Plan, our operating segments and reportable segments have changed. Goodwill has been reallocated from our previous reportable segments to reflect the new structure. We now have five reporting units with goodwill assigned to them.
As of March 31, 2020, we tested three of our reporting units for impairment due to: i) the significant adverse effect the COVID-19 pandemic was expected to have on our operating results, and ii) the change in reportable segments, which changed the cash flows and asset compositions of certain reporting units. This resulted in goodwill impairment charges of $470.0 million and $142.0 million recognized for our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) reporting unit and Dental reporting unit, respectively. The remaining two reporting units with goodwill assigned to them were not tested for impairment as we concluded it is more likely than not the fair value of these reporting units exceeds their carrying value.
11
The impairment charge of $470.0 million in our EMEA reporting unit was due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reportable segment change. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse effect on both the operational and non-operational assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our EMEA reporting unit. The significant decline in our share price and that of most other publicly-traded companies resulted in us utilizing a higher risk-adjusted discount rate compared to the rate used in our last annual goodwill impairment test to discount our future estimated cash flows to present value. On an operational basis, due to the deferral of elective surgical procedures, our estimated cash flows in 2020 will be significantly lower than previously estimated in our last annual goodwill impairment test. The change in reportable segments resulted in additional impairment due to additional assets being allocated to the EMEA reporting unit. As of June 30, 2020, $292.7 million of goodwill remains in the EMEA reporting unit.
The impairment charge of $142.0 million in our Dental reporting unit was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to our EMEA reporting unit, changes in the market have caused an increase to the risk-adjusted discount rates utilized to discount our future estimated cash flows to present value, and we expected that the deferral of elective dental procedures would have an adverse effect on our cash flows. We estimate the cash flows from our Dental reporting unit may recover more slowly than our other reporting units because many dental procedures are not covered by insurance. Therefore, economic uncertainty will likely result in patients deferring dental procedures for a longer period of time than procedures involving our other products. As of June 30, 2020, $255.0 million of goodwill remains in the Dental reporting unit.
The third reporting unit we tested for impairment, Americas CMFT, had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by less than 5 percent. The Americas CMFT reporting unit’s estimated fair value has also been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic similar to our EMEA and Dental reporting units.
We estimated the fair value of the EMEA, Dental and Americas CMFT reporting units based on income and market approaches. Fair value under the income approach was determined by discounting to present value the estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit. Fair value under the market approach utilized the guideline public company methodology, which uses valuation indicators from publicly-traded companies that are similar to our EMEA, Dental and Americas CMFT reporting units and considers differences between our reporting unit and the comparable companies.
In estimating the future cash flows of the reporting units, we utilized a combination of market and company-specific inputs that a market participant would use in assessing the fair value of the reporting units. The primary market input was revenue growth rates. These rates were based upon historical trends and estimated future growth drivers such as an aging global population, obesity and more active lifestyles. In the near term, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to result in a decline to our revenue when compared to the same prior year periods. Significant company specific inputs included assumptions regarding how the reporting units could leverage operating expenses as revenue grows and the impact any of our differentiated products or new products will have on revenues.
Under the guideline public company methodology, we took into consideration specific risk differences between our reporting unit and the comparable companies, such as recent financial performance, size risks and product portfolios, among other considerations.
We will continue to monitor the fair value of our EMEA, Dental and Americas CMFT reporting units as well as our other two reporting units in our interim and annual reporting periods. If our estimated cash flows for these reporting units decrease, we may have to record further impairment charges in the future. Factors that could result in our cash flows being lower than our current estimates include: 1) the COVID-19 pandemic causes elective surgical procedures to be deferred longer than our estimates, 2) decreased revenues caused by unforeseen changes in the healthcare market, or our inability to generate new product revenue from our research and development activities, and 3) our inability to achieve the estimated operating margins in our forecasts due to unforeseen factors. Additionally, changes in the broader economic environment could cause changes to our estimated discount rates and comparable company valuation indicators, which may impact our estimated fair values.
In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $33.0 million and $70.1 million, respectively, of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible asset impairments on certain IPR&D projects. The $33.0 million charge in 2020 includes a $19.0 million impairment related to a project that requires additional research and development costs to complete, which delays the cash inflows and results in a decreased estimated fair value. The remaining $14.0 million impairment charge in 2020 and the entire $70.1 million charge from 2019 are related to terminated IPR&D projects. The termination of these projects is the result of prioritizing our internal research and development portfolio as a result of COVID-19 and to focus our engineering resources on the opportunities that most closely link to our mission. Since these projects were not a priority, their terminations are not expected to have a significant impact on our future cash flows.

8. Transfers of Financial Assets
We have receivables purchase arrangements with unrelated third parties to liquidate portions of our trade accounts receivable balance. The receivables relate to products sold to customers and are short-term in nature. The factorings are treated as sales of our accounts receivable. Proceeds from the transfers reflect either the face value of the accounts receivable or the face value less factoring fees.
In the U.S. and Japan, our programs are executed on a revolving basis with a maximum funding limit as of June 30, 2020 of $450.0 million combined. We act as the collection agent on behalf of the third party, but have no significant retained interests or servicing liabilities related to the accounts receivable sold. In order to mitigate credit risk, we purchased credit insurance for the factored accounts receivable. As a result, our risk of loss is limited to the factored accounts receivable not covered by the insurance. Additionally, we have provided guarantees for the factored accounts receivable. The maximum exposures to loss associated with these arrangements were $11.0 million and $21.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
In Europe, we sell to a third party and have no continuing involvement or significant risk with the factored accounts receivable.
Funds received from the transfers are recorded as an increase to cash and a reduction to accounts receivable outstanding in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We report the cash flows attributable to the sale of receivables to third parties in cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Net expenses resulting from the sales of receivables are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense. Net expenses include any resulting gains or losses from the sales of receivables, credit insurance and factoring fees.
In the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold receivables having an aggregate face value of $980.9 million and $1,595.9 million to third parties in exchange for cash proceeds of $979.9 million and $1,594.9 million, respectively. Expenses recognized on these sales during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were not significant. In the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, under the U.S. and Japan programs, we collected $885.8 million and $1,438.3 million, respectively, from our customers and remitted that amount to the third party, and we effectively repurchased $84.1 million and $73.9 million, respectively, of previously sold accounts receivable from the third party, due to the programs’ revolving nature. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had collected $35.4 million and $54.6 million, respectively, of funds that were unremitted to the third party, which are reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets under other current liabilities. The initial collection of cash from customers and its remittance to the third party is reflected in net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of receivables that has been derecognized under the U.S. and Japan revolving arrangements amounted to $220.3 million and $270.2 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2020, our total current and non-current debt of $8.2 billion consisted of $8.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior notes, which included $1.7 billion of Euro-denominated senior notes (“Euro Notes”), an 11.7 billion Japanese Yen term loan agreement (“Japan Term Loan A”) and a 21.3 billion Japanese Yen term loan agreement (“Japan Term Loan B”) that will each mature on September 27, 2022, and fair value adjustments totaling $4.7 million, partially offset by debt discount and issuance costs of $53.2 million.
On March 20, 2020, we completed the offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.050% senior notes due on January 15, 2026 and $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.550% senior notes due on March 20, 2030. Interest payable on the 3.050% senior notes is payable semi-annually, commencing on July 15, 2020 until maturity. Interest payable on the 3.550% senior notes is payable semi-annually, commencing on September 20, 2020 until maturity. The proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, were used to repay at maturity the $1.5 billion principal amount of 2.700% senior notes due on April 1, 2020.
On November 1, 2019, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), which contains a five-year unsecured multicurrency revolving facility of $1.5 billion (the “2019 Multicurrency Revolving Facility”), which replaced the previous $1.5 billion multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “2016 Multicurrency Revolving Facility”) and U.S term loan (“U.S Term Loan B”) under our credit agreement executed in September 2016 (as amended, the “2016 Credit Agreement”). U.S. Term Loan B was paid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The 2019 Credit Agreement will mature on November 1, 2024, with two one-year extensions exercisable at our discretion and subject to required lender consent. As of June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Multicurrency Revolving Facility.
14
Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement generally bear interest at floating rates. We pay a facility fee on the aggregate amount of the 2019 Multicurrency Revolving Facility. The 2019 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for unsecured financing arrangements, including, among other things, limitations on consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets. On April 23, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the 2019 Credit Agreement to temporarily increase the maximum permitted consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio (“Consolidated Leverage Ratio”), temporarily increase the interest rate margin applicable to revolving loans and the facility fee, and make other administrative changes. Pursuant to the amendment, the maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters under the 2019 Credit Agreement will be (i) 5.75 to 1.00 for periods ending between April 1, 2020 and including December 31, 2020, (ii) 5.00 to 1.00 for the period ending March 31, 2021, and (iii) 4.50 to 1.00 for periods ending after April 1, 2021 (with such maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio subject to increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for a period of time in connection with a qualified material acquisition on or after July 1, 2021). We were in compliance with all covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2020. The amendment also increases the interest rate margin applicable to revolving loans and the facility fee, each of which are determined by reference to our senior unsecured long-term debt credit rating, through March 31, 2021.
On April 23, 2020, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) which is an unsecured revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion (the “2020 Revolving Facility”). The 2020 Credit Agreement matures on December 31, 2020. Borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement generally bear interest at floating rates. We pay a facility fee on the aggregate amount of the 2020 Revolving Facility. The 2020 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for unsecured financing arrangement including, among other things, limitations on consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets. The 2020 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.75 to 1.00. The 2020 Revolving Facility is also subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements and corresponding commitment reductions upon the issuance of indebtedness above $25.0 million, subject to specified carve-outs. As of June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement and we were in compliance with all covenants.
The estimated fair value of our senior notes as of June 30, 2020, based on quoted prices for the specific securities from transactions in over-the-counter markets (Level 2), was $8,450.1 million. The estimated fair value of Japan Term Loan A and Japan Term Loan B, in the aggregate, as of June 30, 2020, based upon publicly available market yield curves and the terms of the debt (Level 2), was $304.8 million.
10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) refers to certain gains and losses that under GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net earnings as these amounts are initially recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Amounts in AOCI may be reclassified to net earnings upon the occurrence of certain events.
Our AOCI is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges and amortization of prior service costs and unrecognized gains and losses in actuarial assumptions related to our defined benefit plans. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reclassified to net earnings upon sale or upon a complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity. Unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges are reclassified to net earnings when the hedged item affects net earnings. Amounts related to defined benefit plans that are in AOCI are reclassified over the service periods of employees in the plan.

We value our foreign currency forward contracts using a market approach based on foreign currency exchange rates obtained from active markets, and we perform ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk.
We value our cross-currency interest rate swaps using a market approach based on publicly available market yield curves, foreign currency exchange rates and the terms of our swaps, and we perform ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk.
12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to certain market risks relating to our ongoing business operations, including foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities. Currently, the only risks that we manage through the use of derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
17
Interest Rate Risk
Derivatives Designated as Fair Value Hedges
In prior years, we entered into various fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements that were accounted for as fair value hedges of a portion of our 4.625% Senior Notes due 2019 and all of our 3.375% Senior Notes due 2021. In August 2016, we received cash for these interest rate swap assets by terminating the hedging instruments with the counterparties. The 4.625% Senior Notes were repaid at maturity in 2019. The remaining unamortized balance related to the 3.375% Senior Notes as of June 30, 2020 related to these discontinued hedges was $4.7 million, which will be recognized using the effective interest rate method over the remaining maturity period of the hedged notes. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the following amounts were recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges (in millions):

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
In 2014, we entered into forward starting interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of our thirty-year tranche of senior notes (the 4.450% Senior Notes due 2045) we expected to issue in 2015. The forward starting interest rate swaps mitigated the risk of changes in interest rates prior to the completion of the notes offering. The interest rate swaps were settled, and the remaining loss to be recognized at June 30, 2020 was $26.2 million, which will be recognized using the effective interest rate method over the remaining maturity period of the hedged notes.
In September 2016, we entered into various variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $375.0 million that were accounted for as cash flow hedges of U.S. Term Loan B. The interest rate swaps minimized the exposure to changes in the LIBOR interest rates while the variable-rate debt was outstanding. In the first quarter of 2019, we terminated these interest rate swaps concurrently with the repayment of the remaining balance of U.S. Term Loan B, and we recognized proceeds and interest income of $2.8 million related to the termination.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, we enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions. We also designated our Euro Notes as net investment hedges of investments in foreign subsidiaries. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to transactions and net assets denominated in Euros, Swiss Francs, Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Korean Won, Swedish Krona, Czech Koruna, Thai Baht, Taiwan Dollars, South African Rand, Russian Rubles, Indian Rupees, Turkish Lira, Polish Zloty, Danish Krone, and Norwegian Krone. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivatives Designated as Net Investment Hedges
We are exposed to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the investments in our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. In order to mitigate the volatility in foreign exchange rates, we issued Euro Notes in December 2016 and November 2019 and designated 100 percent of the Euro Notes to hedge our net investment in certain wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries that have a functional currency of the Euro. All changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument designated as a net investment hedge are recorded as a component of AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
At June 30, 2020, we had receive-fixed-rate, pay-fixed-rate cross-currency interest swaps with notional amounts outstanding of Euro 1,450 million, Japanese Yen 7 billion and Swiss Franc 50 million. These transactions further hedge our net investment in certain wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries that have a functional currency of Euro, Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc. All changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a net investment hedge are recorded as a component of AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The portion of this change related to the excluded component will be amortized into earnings over the life of the derivative while the remainder will be recorded in AOCI until the hedged net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. We recognize the excluded component in interest expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The net cash received related to the receive-fixed-rate, pay-fixed-rate component of the cross-currency interest rate swaps is reflected in investing cash flows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
18
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
Our revenues are generated in various currencies throughout the world. However, a significant amount of our inventory is produced in U.S. Dollars. Therefore, movements in foreign currency exchange rates may have different proportional effects on our revenues compared to our cost of products sold. To minimize the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on cash flows, we hedge intercompany sales of inventory expected to occur within the next 30 months with foreign currency exchange forward contracts. We designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges.
We perform quarterly assessments of hedge effectiveness by verifying and documenting the critical terms of the hedge instrument and confirming that forecasted transactions have not changed significantly. We also assess on a quarterly basis whether there have been adverse developments regarding the risk of a counterparty default. For derivatives which qualify as hedges of future cash flows, the gains and losses are temporarily recorded in AOCI and then recognized in cost of products sold when the hedged item affects net earnings. On our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the settlements of these cash flow hedges are recognized in operating cash flows.
For foreign currency exchange forward contracts and options outstanding at June 30, 2020, we had obligations to purchase U.S. Dollars and sell Euros, Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Korean Won, Swedish Krona, Czech Koruna, Thai Baht, Taiwan Dollars, South African Rand, Russian Rubles, Indian Rupees, Polish Zloty, Danish Krone, and Norwegian Krone and obligations to purchase Swiss Francs and sell U.S. Dollars. These derivatives mature at dates ranging from July 2020 through November 2022. As of June 30, 2020, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts and options entered into with third parties to purchase U.S. Dollars were $1,364.8 million. As of June 30, 2020, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts and options entered into with third parties to purchase Swiss Francs were $252.3 million.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with terms of one month to manage currency exposures for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency. As a result, any foreign currency re-measurement gains/losses recognized in earnings are generally offset with gains/losses on the foreign currency forward exchange contracts in the same reporting period. The net amount of these offsetting gains/losses is recorded in other expense, net. These contracts are settled on the last day of each reporting period. Therefore, there is no outstanding balance related to these contracts recorded on the balance sheet as of the end of the reporting period. The notional amounts of these contracts are typically in a range of $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion per quarter.

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020, together with settled derivatives where the hedged item has not yet affected earnings, was a net unrealized gain of $25.1 million, or $21.9 million after taxes, which is deferred in AOCI. A gain of $38.4 million, or $32.6 million after taxes, is expected to be reclassified to earnings in cost of products sold and a loss of $0.6 million, or $0.5 million after taxes, is expected to be reclassified to earnings in interest expense, net over the next twelve months.

Balance Sheet Presentation
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all derivatives designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. On our condensed consolidated balance sheets, we recognize individual forward contracts with the same counterparty on a net asset/liability basis if we have a master netting agreement with the counterparty. Under these master netting agreements, we are able to settle derivative instrument assets and liabilities with the same counterparty in a single transaction, instead of settling each derivative instrument separately. We have master netting agreements with all of our counterparties. The fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis is as follows (in millions):

13. Income Taxes
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law and includes, among other things, refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We have deferred certain tax payments which we expect to mostly pay in the third quarter of 2020. We do not expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a material impact on our tax provision.
We operate on a global basis and are subject to numerous and complex tax laws and regulations. Additionally, tax laws continue to undergo rapid changes in both application and interpretation by various countries, including state aid interpretations and initiatives led by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Our income tax filings are subject to examinations by taxing authorities throughout the world. Income tax audits may require an extended period of time to reach resolution and may result in significant income tax adjustments when interpretation of tax laws or allocation of company profits is disputed. Although ultimate timing is uncertain, the net amount of tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations, settlements of tax assessments and other events. Management’s best estimate of such change is within the range of a $310 million decrease to a $20 million increase.
We are under continuous audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. During the course of these audits, we receive proposed adjustments from taxing authorities that may be material. Therefore, there is a possibility that an adverse outcome in these audits could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our U.S. Federal income tax returns have been audited through 2012 and are currently under audit for years 2013-2015. The IRS has proposed adjustments for years 2005-2012, primarily related to reallocating profits between certain of our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries. We have disputed these adjustments and intend to continue to vigorously defend our positions as we pursue resolution through petitions with the U.S. Tax Court for years 2005-2009 and the administrative process with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals for years 2010-2012. While we have not yet received a complete and final Revenue Agents’ Report generally issued at the conclusion of an IRS examination, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received a draft Notice of Proposed Adjustments (“NOPA”) from the IRS for the 2013 through 2015 calendar years relating to transfer pricing involving our cost sharing agreement between the U.S. and Switzerland affiliated companies and reallocating profits between certain of our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries.
The draft NOPA related to the cost sharing agreement proposes an increase to our U.S. taxable income, which would result in additional tax expense related to 2013 of approximately $600 million, subject to interest and penalties. We strongly believe that the position of the IRS, with regard to this matter, is inconsistent with the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations governing our cost sharing agreement. This is a draft NOPA and the final adjustments asserted by the IRS may differ materially. We anticipate receiving a final NOPA in the coming weeks and do not expect changes to our reserves relative to these matters within the next twelve months. We intend to vigorously contest the draft NOPA and if we are not able to remediate the draft NOPA at the IRS examination level, we will pursue all available administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies. If we pursue judicial remedies in the U.S. Tax Court for years 2013-2015, a number of years will likely elapse before such matters are finally resolved. No payment of any amount related to the draft NOPA is required to be made, if at all, until all applicable proceedings have been completed. We believe the tax liability we have previously accrued is correct, and accordingly, have not recognized any additional reserve for tax uncertainty based on the draft NOPA received.
A public referendum held in Switzerland passed the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (“TRAF”), effective January 1, 2020, and includes the abolishment of various favorable federal and cantonal tax regimes. The TRAF provides transitional relief measures for companies that are losing the tax benefit of a ruling, including a "step-up" for amortizable goodwill, equal to the amount of future tax benefit they would have received under their existing ruling, subject to certain limitations. Certain provisions of the TRAF were enacted in the third quarter of 2019, resulting in us recognizing a provisional net tax benefit of $263.8 million. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we recognized an additional $51.2 million related to TRAF as well as the tax impact of certain restructuring transactions in Switzerland. We anticipate that TRAF will have a minimal impact to our ongoing consolidated effective tax rate.
In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 6.2 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively, compared to 6.0 percent and 12.5 percent in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Our ETR in the 2020 and 2019 periods were below the typical statutory tax rates for various reasons. The 6.2 percent ETR in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was the result of the mix of some of our jurisdictions recognizing earnings while others had losses. The 1.2 percent ETR in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the $612.0 million goodwill impairment charge, which resulted in a loss before taxes, but has no corresponding tax benefit, as well as the mix of earnings and losses among our jurisdictions. The 6.0 percent ETR in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable resolution of certain tax audits. The 12.5 percent ETR in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable resolution of certain tax audits as well as a release of uncertain tax positions due to emerging foreign tax guidance. Absent discrete tax events, we expect our future ETR will be lower than the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21.0 percent due to our mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign locations, which have lower corporate income tax rates. Our ETR in future periods could also potentially be impacted by: changes in our mix of pre-tax earnings; changes in tax rates, tax laws or their interpretation, including the European Union rules on state aid; the outcome of various federal, state and foreign audits; and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Currently, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact of these items on our financial results.

Since we incurred a net loss in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, no dilutive stock options or other equity awards were included as diluted shares. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, an average of 2.1 million options and 1.7 million options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of our common stock.
15. Segment Information
We design, manufacture and market orthopedic reconstructive products; sports medicine, biologics, extremities and trauma products; spine, craniomaxillofacial and thoracic products (“CMFT”); office based technologies; dental implants; and related surgical products. Due to the 2019 Restructuring Plan that was initiated in late 2019, our operating segments have changed beginning in the first quarter of 2020. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) now allocates resources to achieve our operating profit goals through three operating segments. These operating segments, which also constitute our reportable segments, are Americas and Global Businesses; EMEA; and Asia Pacific. Previously, we had seven operating segments, which resulted in three reportable segments and four individually insignificant operating segments that were aggregated together and not considered a reportable segment.
Our CODM evaluates performance based upon segment operating profit exclusive of operating expenses pertaining to inventory and manufacturing-related charges, intangible asset amortization, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives, quality remediation, acquisition, integration and related, litigation, litigation settlement gain, certain European Union Medical Device Regulation expenses, other charges and corporate functions. Corporate functions include corporate legal, finance, information technology, human resources and other corporate departments. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated from segment operating profit.
Our Americas and Global Businesses operating segment is comprised principally of the U.S. and includes other North, Central and South American markets for all of our product categories as well as the global results for our Dental product category. This segment also includes our global manufacturing operations for all product categories and research, development engineering, medical education, and brand management for our global product category headquarter locations. Our EMEA operating segment is comprised principally of Europe and includes the Middle East and African markets for all product categories except Dental. Our Asia Pacific operating segment is comprised principally of Japan, China and Australia and includes other Asian and Pacific markets for all product categories except Dental. The EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments include the commercial operations as well as regional headquarter expenses to operate in those markets.
Since the Americas and Global Businesses includes additional costs related to global manufacturing operations and other centralized global product category headquarter expenses, profitability metrics in this operating segment are not comparable to the EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments.
Our CODM does not review asset information by operating segment. Instead, our CODM reviews cash flow and other financial ratios by operating segment.
Prior period reportable segment financial information has been reclassified to conform to our new reportable segments.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
On a quarterly and annual basis, we review relevant information with respect to loss contingencies and update our accruals, disclosures and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews. We establish liabilities for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual has been made.
Litigation
Durom Cup-related claims: On July 22, 2008, we temporarily suspended marketing and distribution of the Durom Cup in the U.S. Subsequently, a number of product liability lawsuits were filed against us in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The plaintiffs seek damages for personal injury, and they generally allege that the Durom Cup contains defects that result in complications and premature revision of the device. We have settled the majority of these claims and others are still pending. The majority of the pending U.S. lawsuits are currently in a federal Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) in the District of New Jersey (In Re: Zimmer Durom Hip Cup Products Liability Litigation). Litigation activity in the MDL is stayed pending finalization of the U.S. Durom Cup Settlement Program, an extrajudicial program created to resolve actions and claims of eligible U.S. plaintiffs and claimants. Other lawsuits are pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions, and additional claims may be asserted in the future. The majority of claims outside the U.S. are pending in Germany, Netherlands and Italy.
Since 2008, we have recognized net expense of $443.0 million for Durom Cup-related claims. We did not record any gain or expense for Durom Cup-related claims in the three or six-month periods ended June 30, 2020. In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, we lowered our estimate of the number of Durom Cup-related claims we expect to settle and, as a result, we recognized gains of $7.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense.
Our estimate as of June 30, 2020 of the remaining liability for all Durom Cup-related claims, including estimated legal fees, is $55.4 million. We expect to pay the majority of the Durom Cup-related claims within the next few years.
Our understanding of clinical outcomes with the Durom Cup and other large diameter hip cups continues to evolve. We rely on significant estimates in determining the provisions for Durom Cup-related claims, including our estimate of the number of claims that we will receive and the average amount we will pay per claim. The actual number of claims and the actual amount we pay per claim may differ from our estimates. Among other factors, since our understanding of the clinical outcomes is still evolving, we cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result from Durom Cup-related claims in excess of the losses we have accrued. Although we are vigorously defending these lawsuits, their ultimate resolution is uncertain.
Zimmer M/L Taper, M/L Taper with Kinectiv Technology, and Versys Femoral Head-related claims (“Metal Reaction” claims): We are a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits relating to our M/L Taper and M/L Taper with Kinectiv Technology hip stems, and Versys Femoral Head implants. The plaintiffs seek damages for personal injury, alleging that defects in the products lead to corrosion at the head/stem junction resulting in, among other things, pain, inflammation and revision surgery.
The majority of the cases are consolidated in an MDL that was created on October 3, 2018 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (In Re: Zimmer M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis or M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis with Kinectiv Technology and Versys Femoral Head Products Liability Litigation). Other related cases are pending in various state and federal courts. Additional lawsuits are likely to be filed. Following higher than expected filings in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, and an extension of the MDL schedule given the COVID-19 pandemic, we increased our estimate of the number of Metal Reaction-related claims that we expect to litigate in the future, resulting in additional litigation-related expense in the period. Our estimate as of June 30, 2020 of the remaining liability for all Metal Reaction-related claims, including our estimated legal fees, is $66.8 million. Although we are vigorously defending these lawsuits, their ultimate resolution is uncertain.
Biomet metal-on-metal hip implant claims: Biomet is a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits relating to metal-on-metal hip implants, most of which involve the M2a-Magnum hip system. Cases are currently consolidated in an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana (In Re: Biomet M2a Magnum Hip Implant Product Liability Litigation) and in various state, federal and foreign courts, with the majority of domestic state court cases pending in Indiana and Florida.
On February 3, 2014, Biomet announced the settlement of the MDL. Lawsuits filed in the MDL by April 15, 2014 were eligible to participate in the settlement. Those claims that did not settle via the MDL settlement program have re-commenced litigation in the MDL under a new case management plan, or are in the process of being remanded to their originating jurisdictions. The settlement does not affect certain other claims relating to Biomet’s metal-on-metal hip products that are pending in various state and foreign courts, or other claims that may be filed in the future. We continue to refine our estimates of the potential liability to settle the remaining claims and recognized additional litigation-related expense in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Our estimate as of June 30, 2020 of the remaining liability for all Biomet metal-on-metal hip implant claims, including estimated legal fees, is $69.5 million. Although we are vigorously defending these lawsuits, their ultimate resolution is uncertain.

Heraeus trade secret misappropriation lawsuits: In December 2008, Heraeus Kulzer GmbH (together with its affiliates, “Heraeus”) initiated legal proceedings in Germany against Biomet, Inc., Biomet Europe BV (now Zimmer Biomet Nederland BV), certain other entities and certain employees alleging that the defendants misappropriated Heraeus trade secrets when developing Biomet Europe’s Refobacin and Biomet Bone Cement line of cements (“European Cements”). The lawsuit sought to preclude the defendants from producing, marketing and offering for sale their then-current line of European Cements and to compensate Heraeus for any damages incurred.
Germany: On June 5, 2014, the German appeals court in Frankfurt (i) enjoined Biomet, Inc., Biomet Europe BV and Biomet Deutschland GmbH from manufacturing, selling or offering the European Cements to the extent they contain certain raw materials in particular specifications; (ii) held the defendants jointly and severally liable to Heraeus for any damages from the sale of European Cements since 2005; and (iii) ruled that no further review may be sought (the “Frankfurt Decision”). The Heraeus and Biomet parties both sought appeal against the Frankfurt Decision. In a decision dated June 16, 2016, the German Supreme Court dismissed the parties’ appeals without reaching the merits, rendering that decision final.
In December 2016, Heraeus filed papers to restart proceedings against Biomet Orthopaedics Switzerland GmbH (now Zimmer GmbH), seeking to require that entity to relinquish its CE certificates for the European Cements. In January 2017, Heraeus notified Biomet it had filed a claim for damages in the amount of €121.9 million for sales in Germany, which it first increased to €125.9 million and with a filing in June 2019 further increased to €146.7 million plus statutory interest. In a recent filing to the court, Heraeus indicated that it might further increase its claims in the course of the proceedings. As of June 30, 2020, these two proceedings remained pending in front of the Darmstadt court. In September 2017, Heraeus filed an enforcement action in the Darmstadt court against Biomet Europe, requesting that a fine be imposed against Biomet Europe for failure to disclose the amount of the European Cements which Biomet Orthopaedics Switzerland had ordered to be manufactured in Germany (e.g., for the Chinese market). In June 2018, the Darmstadt court dismissed Heraeus’ request. Heraeus appealed the decision. Also in September 2017, Heraeus filed suit against Zimmer Biomet Deutschland in the court of first instance in Freiburg concerning the sale of the European Cements with certain changed raw materials. Heraeus sought an injunction on the basis that the continued use of the product names for the European Cements was misleading for customers and thus an act of unfair competition. On June 29, 2018, the court in Freiburg, Germany dismissed Heraeus’ request for an injunction prohibiting the marketing of the European Cements under their current names on the grounds that the same request had already been decided upon by the Frankfurt Decision which became final and binding. Heraeus appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals in Karlsruhe, Germany. The appeals hearing occurred in December 2019 and on June 19, 2020, the court dismissed the appeal on different grounds, namely that the appeals court did not find any unfair competition in the continued use of the product names. The appeals court did not grant leave to appeal, but Heraeus may file a request for appeal with the German Supreme Court.
United States: On September 8, 2014, Heraeus filed a complaint against a Biomet supplier, Esschem, Inc. (“Esschem”), in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit contained allegations that focused on two copolymer compounds that Esschem sold to Biomet, which Biomet incorporated into certain bone cement products that compete with Heraeus’ bone cement products. The complaint alleged that Biomet helped Esschem to develop these copolymers, using Heraeus trade secrets that Biomet allegedly misappropriated. The complaint asserted a claim under the Pennsylvania Uniform Trade Secrets Act, as well as other various common law tort claims, all based upon the same trade secret misappropriation theory. Heraeus sought to enjoin Esschem from supplying the copolymers to any third party and actual damages. The complaint also sought punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. Although Biomet was not a party to this lawsuit, Biomet agreed, at Esschem’s request and subject to certain limitations, to indemnify Esschem for any liability, damages and legal costs related to this matter. On November 3, 2014, the court entered an order denying Heraeus’ motion for a temporary restraining order. On June 30, 2016, the court entered an order denying Heraeus’ request to give preclusive effect to the factual findings in the Frankfurt Decision. On June 6, 2017, the court entered an order denying Heraeus’ motion to add Biomet as a party to the lawsuit. On January 26, 2018, the court entered an order granting Esschem’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all of Heraeus’ claims with prejudice. On February 21, 2018, Heraeus filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which heard oral argument on the appeal on October 23, 2018. On June 21, 2019, the Third Circuit partially reversed the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granting Esschem summary judgment and remanded the case back to the lower court. On July 5, 2019, Esschem filed a petition in the Third Circuit for rehearing en banc and a motion in the alternative to certify a question of state law to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which was denied on August 1, 2019. On June 1, 2020, as ordered by the court, the parties filed a joint status report, which remained pending as of June 30, 2020.
On December 7, 2017, Heraeus filed a complaint against Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. and Biomet, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging a single claim of trade secret misappropriation under the Pennsylvania Uniform Trade Secrets Act based on the same factual allegations as the Esschem litigation. On March 5, 2018, Heraeus filed an amended complaint adding a second claim of trade secret misappropriation under Pennsylvania common law. Heraeus seeks to enjoin the Zimmer Biomet parties from future use of the allegedly misappropriated trade secrets and recovery of unspecified damages for alleged past use. On April 18, 2018, the Zimmer Biomet parties filed a motion to dismiss both claims. On March 8, 2019, the court stayed the
26
case pending the Third Circuit’s decision in the Esschem case described above. In September 2019, the Zimmer Biomet parties filed a motion to stay the proceedings pending (1) the court’s decision on Esschem’s motion for summary judgment in the Esschem case described above and (2) the outcome of the U.S. International Trade Commission complaint filed by Heraeus asserting similar claims, described below under “Regulatory Matters, Government Investigations and Other Matters.” On May 2, 2020, the court granted the Zimmer Biomet parties’ motion to stay the proceedings pending the outcome of the U.S. International Trade Commission complaint filed by Heraeus.
Other European Countries: Heraeus continues to pursue other related legal proceedings in Europe seeking various forms of relief, including injunctive relief and damages, against various Biomet-related and local Zimmer Biomet entities relating to the European Cements. On October 2, 2018, the Belgian Court of Appeal of Mons issued a judgment in favor of Heraeus relating to its request for past damages caused by the alleged misappropriation of its trade secrets, and an injunction preventing future sales of certain European Cements in Belgium (the “Belgian Decision”). We appealed this judgment to the Belgian Supreme Court. The Belgian Supreme Court dismissed our appeal in October 2019 and this decision is final. Heraeus filed a suit in Belgium concerning the continued sale of the European Cements with certain changed materials. Like its suit in Germany, Heraeus seeks an injunction on the basis that the continued use of the product names for the European Cements is misleading for customers and thus an act of unfair competition. On May 7, 2019, the Liège Commercial Court issued a judgment that Zimmer Biomet failed to inform its hospital and surgeon customers of the changes made to the composition of the cement with certain changed materials and ordered, as a sole remedy, that Zimmer Biomet send letters to those customers, which we have done. We and Heraeus have each filed an appeal to the judgment.
On February 13, 2019, a Norwegian court of first instance issued a judgment in favor of Heraeus on its claim for misappropriation of trade secrets. The court awarded damages of 19,500,000 NOK, or approximately $2.3 million, plus attorneys’ fees, and issued an injunction, which is not final and thus not currently being enforced, preventing Zimmer Biomet Norway from marketing in Norway bone cements identified with the current product names and bone cements making use of the trade secrets which were acknowledged in the Frankfurt Decision. We have appealed the Norwegian judgment to the court of second instance.
On October 29, 2019, an Italian court of first instance issued a judgment in favor of Heraeus on its claim of misappropriation of trade secrets, but did not yet order an award of damages. We filed a timely appeal of the decision.
On January 23, 2020, a Finnish Market Court issued a judgment partly in favor of Heraeus on its claim of misappropriation of certain trade secrets. Damage claims were not raised in the proceedings. We appealed the decision to the Finnish Supreme Court. On July 3, 2020, the Finnish Supreme Court declined to review the case, rendering the Market Court decision final.
Heraeus is pursuing damages and injunctive relief in France in an effort to prevent us from manufacturing, marketing and selling the European Cements (the “France Litigation”). The European Cements are manufactured at our facility in Valence, France. On December 11, 2018, a hearing was held in the France Litigation before the commercial court in Romans-sur-Isère. On May 23, 2019, the commercial court ruled in our favor. On July 12, 2019, Heraeus filed an appeal to the court of second instance in Grenoble, France. Although we are vigorously defending the France Litigation, the ultimate outcome is uncertain. An adverse ruling in the France Litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have accrued an estimated loss relating to the collective trade secret litigation, including estimated legal costs to defend. Damages relating to the Frankfurt Decision are subject to separate proceedings, and the Belgian court appointed an expert to determine the amount of damages related to the Belgian Decision. Thus, it is reasonably possible that our estimate of the loss we may incur may change in the future. Although we are vigorously defending these lawsuits, their ultimate resolution is uncertain.
Putative Securities Class Action: On December 2, 2016, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana (Shah v. Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. et al.), naming us, one of our officers and two of our now former officers as defendants. On June 28, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a corrected amended complaint, naming as defendants, in addition to those previously named, current and former members of our Board of Directors, one additional officer, and the underwriters in connection with secondary offerings of our common stock by certain selling stockholders in 2016. On October 6, 2017, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the underwriters without prejudice. On October 8, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, naming as defendants, in addition to those current and former officers and Board members previously named, certain former stockholders of ours who sold shares of our common stock in secondary public offerings in 2016. We and our current and former officers and Board members named as defendants are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Zimmer Biomet Defendant group”. The former stockholders of ours who sold shares of our common stock in secondary public offerings in 2016 are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Private Equity Fund Defendant group”. The second amended complaint relates to a putative class action on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock between June 7, 2016 and November 7, 2016. The second amended complaint generally alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making materially false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions about our compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations and our ability to continue to accelerate our organic revenue growth rate in the second half of 2016. The defendants filed their respective motions to dismiss on December 20, 2017, plaintiffs filed their omnibus response to the motions to dismiss on March 13, 2018 and the defendants filed their respective reply briefs on May 18, 2018. On September 27, 2018, the court denied the Zimmer Biomet Defendant group’s motion to dismiss in its
27
entirety. The court granted the Private Equity Fund Defendant group’s motion to dismiss, without prejudice. On October 9, 2018, the Zimmer Biomet Defendant group filed a motion (i) to amend the court’s order on the motion to certify two issues for interlocutory appeal, and (ii) to stay proceedings pending appeal. On February 21, 2019, that motion was denied. On April 11, 2019, the plaintiffs moved for class certification. On June 20, 2019, the Zimmer Biomet Defendant group filed its response. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and interest, attorneys’ fees, costs, and other relief. Although we believe this lawsuit is without merit, during a mediation in December 2019, plaintiffs and defendants, along with Zimmer Biomet’s insurers, reached a settlement in principle to resolve the claims for $50.0 million. We made an accrual for the proposed settlement that we expect to be fully covered by our insurers. On May 21, 2020, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On or before June 12, 2020, all responsible insurers made their payments to the qualified settlement fund. The final approval hearing is scheduled for September 3, 2020.
Shareholder Derivative Actions: On June 14, 2019 and July 29, 2019, two shareholder derivative actions, Green v. Begley et al. and Detectives Endowment Association Annuity Fund v. Begley et al., were filed in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. On October 2, 2019 and October 11, 2019, two additional shareholder derivative actions, Karp v. Begley et al. and DiGaudio v. Begley et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The plaintiff in each action seeks to maintain the action purportedly on our behalf against certain of our current and former directors and officers (the “individual defendants”) and certain former stockholders of ours who sold shares of our common stock in various secondary public offerings in 2016 (the “private equity fund defendants”). The plaintiff in each action alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties against the individual defendants and insider trading against two individual defendants and the private equity fund defendants, based on substantially the same factual allegations as the putative federal securities class action referenced above (Shah v. Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. et al.). On June 4, 2020, the plaintiffs in the Chancery Court actions filed a consolidated amended complaint adding three new counts and expanding the scope of the alleged material false statements. The plaintiffs do not seek damages from us, but instead request damages on our behalf from the defendants of an unspecified amount. The plaintiffs also seek attorneys’ fees, costs and other relief.
Regulatory Matters, Government Investigations and Other Matters
U.S. International Trade Commission Investigation: On March 5, 2019, Heraeus filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against us and certain of our subsidiaries. The complaint alleges that Biomet misappropriated Heraeus’ trade secrets in the formulation and manufacture of two bone cement products now sold by Zimmer Biomet, both of which are imported from our Valence, France facility. Heraeus requested that the ITC institute an investigation and, after the investigation, issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders. On April 5, 2019, the ITC ordered an investigation be instituted into whether we have committed an “unfair act” in the importation, sale for importation, or sale after importation of certain bone cement products. An evidentiary hearing in front of an administrative law judge at the ITC was held in January 2020 and an Initial Determination was issued on May 6, 2020. In the Initial Determination, the administrative law judge held that we did not commit an “unfair act” in the importation, sale for importation, or sale after importation of the two challenged bone cement products, and thus we are not restricted from continuing to manufacture and sell the two challenged bone cement products in the United States. On July 13, 2020, the ITC issued notice of intent to review the Initial Determination in part and is expected to issue a Final Determination in September 2020. Thereafter, the Final Determination is subject to review on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit by either or both of Heraeus and us. We cannot currently predict the ultimate outcome of this investigation after review by the ITC and any appeals, but an adverse outcome in this ITC proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
FDA warning letters: In August 2018, we received a warning letter from the FDA related to observed non-conformities with current good manufacturing practice requirements of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820) (“QSR”) at our legacy Biomet manufacturing facility in Warsaw, Indiana (this facility is sometimes referred to in this report as the “Warsaw North Campus”). In September 2012, we received a warning letter from the FDA citing concerns relating to certain processes pertaining to products manufactured at our Ponce, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. We have provided detailed responses to the FDA as to our corrective actions and will continue to work expeditiously to address the issues identified by the FDA during inspections in Warsaw and Ponce. As of June 30, 2020, the Warsaw and Ponce warning letters remained pending. Until the violations cited in the pending warning letters are corrected, we may be subject to additional regulatory action by the FDA, as described more fully below. Additionally, requests for Certificates to Foreign Governments related to products manufactured at certain of our facilities may not be granted and premarket approval applications for Class III devices to which the QSR deviations at these facilities are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. In addition to responding to the warning letters described above, we are in the process of addressing various FDA Form 483 inspectional observations at certain of our manufacturing facilities, including observations issued by the FDA following an inspection of the Warsaw North Campus in January 2020, which inspection the FDA has classified as Voluntary Action Indicated (“VAI”). The ultimate outcome of these matters is presently uncertain. Among other available regulatory actions, the FDA may impose operating restrictions, including a ceasing of operations, at one or more facilities, enjoining and restraining certain violations of applicable law pertaining to products, seizure of products and assessing civil or criminal penalties against our officers, employees or us. The FDA could also issue a corporate warning letter or a recidivist warning letter or negotiate the entry of a consent decree of permanent injunction with us. The FDA may also recommend prosecution by the U.S.
28
Department of Justice (“DOJ”). Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict us from effectively manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) relating to U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) matters: On January 12, 2017, we resolved previously-disclosed FCPA matters involving Biomet and certain of its subsidiaries. As part of the settlement, (i) Biomet resolved matters with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) through an administrative cease-and-desist order (the “Order”); (ii) we entered into a DPA with the DOJ; and (iii) JERDS Luxembourg Holding S.à r.l. (“JERDS”), the direct parent company of Biomet 3i Mexico SA de CV and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Biomet, entered into a plea agreement (the “Plea Agreement”) with the DOJ. The conduct underlying these resolutions occurred prior to our acquisition of Biomet.
Pursuant to the terms of the Order, Biomet resolved claims with the SEC related to violations of the books and records, internal controls and anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA by disgorging profits to the U.S. government in an aggregate amount of approximately $6.5 million, inclusive of pre-judgment interest, and paying a civil penalty in the amount of $6.5 million (collectively, the “Civil Settlement Payments”). We also agreed to pay a criminal penalty of approximately $17.5 million (together with the Civil Settlement Payments, the “Settlement Payments”) to the U.S. government pursuant to the terms of the DPA. We made the Settlement Payments in January 2017 and, as previously disclosed, had accrued, as of June 24, 2015, the closing date of the Biomet merger, an amount sufficient to cover this matter. In addition, under its Plea Agreement with the DOJ, JERDS pleaded guilty on January 13, 2017 to aiding and abetting a violation of the books and records provision of the FCPA. In light of the DPA we entered into, JERDS paid only a nominal assessment and no criminal penalty.
Under the DPA, which has a term of three years, the DOJ agreed to defer criminal prosecution of us in connection with the charged violation of the internal controls provision of the FCPA as long as we comply with the terms of the DPA. In addition, we are subject to oversight by an independent compliance monitor, who was appointed effective as of August 7, 2017. On July 17, 2020, the independent compliance monitor submitted a letter to the SEC and DOJ certifying that our compliance program, including its policies and procedures, is reasonably designed and implemented to prevent and detect violations of the FCPA and is functioning effectively. We expect the monitorship to conclude no later than August 7, 2020 and the charges against us to be dismissed with prejudice.
If we do not comply with the terms of the DPA, we could be subject to prosecution for violating the internal controls provisions of the FCPA and the conduct of Biomet and its subsidiaries described in the DPA, which conduct pre-dated our acquisition of Biomet, as well as any new or continuing violations. We could also be subject to exclusion by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services from participation in federal healthcare programs, including Medicaid and Medicare. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
