6.	Debt

Long-term debt as of June 30, 2010 consisted of our unsecured senior notes (Senior Notes) and borrowings under our $1,350 million senior credit agreement (Senior Credit Facility). Outstanding long-term debt as of June 30, 2010 was $1,130.6 million, comprised of $998.8 million from our Senior Notes and $131.8 million from our Senior Credit Facility. There was no short-term debt outstanding. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes as of June 30, 2010, based on quoted prices for the specific securities from transactions in active markets, was $1,064.2 million. The carrying value of the Senior Credit Facility approximates fair value, as the underlying instruments have variable interest rates at market value.

8.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to certain market risks relating to our ongoing business operations, including foreign currency 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 risk that we manage through the use of derivative instruments is foreign currency 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 and options with major financial institutions. 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 and Indian Rupees. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We report all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

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 and options. We designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. We have not entered into any derivative instruments designated as fair value or net investment in foreign operation hedges.

We perform quarterly assessments of hedge effectiveness by verifying and documenting the critical terms of the hedge instrument and 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 effective portion of changes in fair value is temporarily recorded in other comprehensive income and then recognized in cost of products sold when the hedged item affects net earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value, if any, is reported in cost of products sold immediately. The net amount recognized in earnings during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 due to ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness was not significant.

For forward contracts and options outstanding at June 30, 2010, we have 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 and Indian Rupees and purchase Swiss Francs and sell U.S. Dollars at set maturity dates ranging from July 2010 through December 2012. The notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts and options entered into with third parties to purchase U.S. Dollars at June 30, 2010 were $1.1 billion. The notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts entered into with third parties to purchase Swiss Francs at June 30, 2010 were $197.2 million.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet.

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments recorded on the balance sheet at June 30, 2010, together with settled derivatives where the hedged item has not yet affected earnings, was a net unrealized gain of $24.8 million, or $29.8 million after taxes, which is deferred in other comprehensive income, of which $19.7 million, or $22.1 million after taxes, is expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months.

Derivative instruments had the following effects on other comprehensive income (OCI) on our consolidated balance sheet and our consolidated statement of earnings on a gross basis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in millions):

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 remeasurement gains/losses recognized in earnings are generally offset with gains/losses on the foreign currency forward exchange contracts in the same reporting period. These offsetting gains/losses are recorded in cost of products sold as the underlying assets and liabilities exposed to remeasurement include inventory-related transactions. 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 $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion per quarter.

This impact does not include any offsetting gains/losses recognized in earnings as a result of foreign currency remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency.


9.	Income Taxes

We are currently under audit in numerous federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. We expect that the net amount of tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events which could impact our determination of unrecognized tax benefits. Currently, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount or the periods in which the expected changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will occur.


10.	Retirement Benefit Plans

We have defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. and Puerto Rico employees. The employees who are not participating in the defined benefit plans receive additional benefits under our defined contribution plans. Plan benefits are primarily based on years of credited service and the participant’s compensation. In addition to the U.S. and Puerto Rico defined benefit pension plans, we sponsor various non-U.S. pension arrangements, including retirement and termination benefit plans required by local law or coordinated with government sponsored plans.

The components of net pension expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, for our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit retirement plans are as follows (in millions):

We contributed $23.0 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 to our U.S. and Puerto Rico defined benefit plans and do not expect to contribute additional funds to these plans during the remainder of 2010. We contributed $6.8 million to our foreign-based defined benefit plans in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and expect to contribute approximately $7 million to these foreign-based plans during the remainder of 2010.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2009, we amended the postretirement healthcare benefit plans for certain U.S. and Puerto Rico employees. Participants in the plans between the ages of 55 and 65 who were previously receiving benefits will continue to receive benefits until reaching the age of 65. For all other participants

ZIMMER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

in the plans, no benefits will be paid after January 1, 2010. Additionally, we contributed approximately $7 million to a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to settle any future obligations. We recognized a curtailment gain and settlement loss related to these actions.

The components of net periodic benefit expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, for our U.S. and Puerto Rico postretirement benefit plans are as follows (in millions):

Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted net earnings per share		203.0		215.5		203.6		218.8

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, an average of 13.3 million options and 13.1 million options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, an average of 14.0 million options and 15.2 million options, respectively, were not included in the computation.

In the three month period ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $61.32 per share for a total cash outlay of $85.4 million, including commissions. In the six month period ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased 2.9 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $60.95 per share for a total cash outlay of $178.9 million, including commissions, under the $1.25 billion share repurchase program previously authorized by our Board of Directors that expires on December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, $32.2 million remains authorized for future repurchases under this program. In July 2010, the Board of Directors approved an additional $1.5 billion share repurchase program which will expire on December 31, 2013.


12.	Segment Information

We design, develop, manufacture and market orthopaedic reconstructive implants, dental implants, spinal implants, trauma products and related surgical products which include surgical supplies and instruments designed to

ZIMMER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

aid in surgical procedures and post-operation rehabilitation. We also provide other healthcare related services. Revenue related to these other healthcare related services currently represents less than 1 percent of our total net sales. We manage operations through three major geographic segments — the Americas, which is comprised principally of the United States and includes other North, Central and South American markets; Europe, which is comprised principally of Europe and includes the Middle East and Africa; and Asia Pacific, which is comprised primarily of Japan and includes other Asian and Pacific markets. This structure is the basis for our reportable segment information discussed below. Management evaluates operating segment performance based upon segment operating profit exclusive of operating expenses pertaining to global operations and corporate expenses, share-based compensation, certain claims, acquisition, integration, realignment and other, net curtailment and settlement, inventory step-up and intangible asset amortization expense. Global operations include research, development engineering, medical education, brand management, corporate legal, finance, and human resource functions, and U.S. and Puerto Rico based manufacturing operations and logistics. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated from segment operating profit. Net sales and segment operating profit are as follows (in millions):

13.	Commitments and Contingencies

Product Liability-Related Claims

We are subject to product liability claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business. We establish standard accruals for product liability and other claims in conjunction with outside counsel based on current information and historical settlement information for open claims, related legal fees and claims incurred but not reported. These standard product liability accruals are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense. We may also establish provisions for certain product liability claims outside of the standard accruals that are recorded separately on our statement of earnings, such as the provision for the Durom ^® Acetabular Component ( Durom Cup)-related claims discussed below. We maintain insurance, subject to self-insured retention requirements, for losses from these and other 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 and other claims have been asserted against us. We have settled some of these claims and the others are still pending. Additional claims may be asserted in the future.

We recorded a provision of $69.0 million in 2008 as “Certain Claims” on our statement of earnings representing our estimate of the Durom Cup-related claims we expected to be made for revision surgeries occurring within two years of the original surgery. In the third quarter of 2009, based on claims information received after our initial estimate, we increased our estimate of the number of claims for revision surgeries occurring within two years of the original surgery and, accordingly, increased the “Certain Claims” provision by $35.0 million. In the second quarter of 2010, based on more recent claims information available and after consultation with an independent actuary, we revised our estimate to include all claims for revisions of original surgeries performed before July 22, 2008 on a worldwide basis, regardless of the amount of time between the revision surgery and the original surgery. As a result, we increased the “Certain Claims” provision by $75.0 million, for a total of $179.0 million.

From 2008 through March 31, 2010, we recorded $42.7 million as part of our standard product liability accruals for worldwide claims relating to revisions of Durom Cup cases where the revisions had occurred, or were estimated to occur, more than two years after the original surgery. Of this amount, $0.9 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2009, $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. Beginning with the second quarter of 2010, any provisions for such claims are recorded as part of the “Certain Claims” accrual, as described above. We will continue to record any provisions for claims relating to Durom Cup cases where the original surgery was performed after July 22, 2008 as part of our standard product liability accruals. As of June 30, 2010, we have recorded provisions totaling $2.6 million for such post-suspension claims.

Our estimate as of June 30, 2010 of the remaining liability for all Durom Cup-related claims relating to original surgeries performed before July 22, 2008 is $156.8 million, of which $42.5 million is classified as short-term in “Other

ZIMMER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

current liabilities” and $114.3 million is classified as long-term in “Other long-term liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet. We expect to pay the majority of the Durom Cup-related claims within the next three years.

There are significant estimates involved in determining the provisions for Durom Cup-related claims, including estimates of the number of claims that we may eventually receive. The actual number of claims that we receive may differ from our estimates, which could result in further changes to the provision.

Intellectual Property-Related Claims

We are subject to claims of patent infringement and other intellectual property-related claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business. We maintain insurance, subject to self-insured retention requirements, for losses from these and other claims.

On February 15, 2005, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. filed an action against us and an unrelated party in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,174,934; 6,372,814; 6,664,308; and 6,818,020. On June 13, 2007, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment on the invalidity of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,174,934; 6,372,814; and 6,664,308 by ruling that all of the asserted claims are invalid for indefiniteness. On August 19, 2008, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment of non-infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,818,020, reducing the number of claims at issue in the suit to five. On April 9, 2009, in response to our earlier petition, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) instituted re-examination proceedings against U.S. Patent No. 6,818,020. The USPTO rejected all previously issued claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,818,020 as being unpatentable in light of one or more prior art references. On September 30, 2009, the Court issued an order staying proceedings in the litigation pending the outcome of the re-examination process. Subsequent to that stay order, Howmedica filed a motion seeking to certify an appeal of the summary judgment ruling on the ’934, ’814 and ’308 patents. That motion was granted on January 13, 2010. We expect that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit will hear the appeal of that ruling in 2010. We continue to believe that our defenses against infringement are valid and meritorious, and we intend to continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits and claims with any certainty, we believe that the liability, if any, resulting from these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Government Investigations

In September 2007, we and other orthopaedic companies settled a U.S. government investigation pertaining to consulting contracts, professional services agreements and other agreements by which remuneration is provided to orthopaedic surgeons. As part of the settlement, we entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (OIG-HHS). Under the CIA, which has a term expiring in 2012, we agreed, among other provisions, to continue the operation of our enhanced Corporate Compliance Program, designed to promote compliance with federal healthcare program requirements. We also agreed to retain an independent review organization to perform annual reviews to assist us in assessing our compliance with the obligations set forth in the CIA to ensure that arrangements we enter into do not violate the Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b). A material breach of the CIA may subject us to exclusion by OIG-HHS from participation in all federal healthcare programs, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ZIMMER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In November 2007, we received a civil investigative demand from the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office seeking additional information regarding our financial relationships with a number of Massachusetts healthcare providers. We received a similar inquiry from the Oregon Attorney General’s office in October 2008. We are cooperating fully with the investigators with regard to these matters.

In September 2007, the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) informed us that it was conducting an investigation regarding potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the sale of medical devices in a number of foreign countries by companies in the medical device industry. In November 2007, we received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting that any information provided to the SEC also be provided to the DOJ on a voluntary basis. We are continuing to provide information and cooperate fully with the SEC and the DOJ. In the course of continuing dialogues with the agencies, we have voluntarily disclosed information relating to sales of our products by independent distributors in two South American countries to the SEC and the DOJ. We cannot currently predict the outcome of the investigation or the impact of our voluntary disclosures to the authorities.

Putative Class Actions

On August 5, 2008, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union 719 Pension Fund v. Zimmer Holdings, Inc., et al., naming us and two of our executive officers as defendants. The complaint related to a putative class action on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock between January 29, 2008 and July 22, 2008. The complaint alleged that the defendants violated the federal securities law by allegedly failing to disclose developments relating to our orthopaedic surgical products manufacturing operations in Dover, Ohio and the Durom Cup. The plaintiff sought unspecified damages and interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other relief. On December 24, 2008, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint that alleged the same claims and related to the same time period. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on February 23, 2009. On December 1, 2009, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss, without prejudice. On January 15, 2010, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend the consolidated complaint. That motion is pending. We believe this lawsuit is without merit, and we and the individual defendants intend to defend it vigorously.

On November 20, 2008, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Dewald v. Zimmer Holdings, Inc., et al., naming us and certain of our current and former directors and employees as defendants. The complaint relates to a putative class action on behalf of all persons who were participants in or beneficiaries of our U.S. or Puerto Rico Savings and Investment Programs (plans) between October 5, 2007 and the date of filing and whose accounts included investments in our common stock. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, by continuing to offer Zimmer stock as an investment option in the plans when the stock purportedly was no longer a prudent investment and that defendants failed to provide plan participants with complete and accurate information sufficient to advise them of the risks of investing their retirement savings in Zimmer stock. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified monetary payment to the plans, injunctive and equitable relief, attorneys’ fees, costs and other relief. On January 23, 2009, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint that alleges the same claims and clarifies that the class period is October 5, 2007 through September 2, 2008. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on March 23, 2009. The motion to dismiss is pending with the court. On June 12, 2009, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order transferring the Dewald case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings with the Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union 719 Pension Fund case referenced above. We believe this lawsuit is without merit, and we and the individual defendants intend to defend it vigorously.


14.	Subsequent Event

In July 2010 we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Beijing Montagne Medical Device Co., Ltd., a leader in the rapidly growing Chinese orthopaedic implant market. Subject to regulatory approvals and certain other conditions, the acquisition is expected to close in late 2010 or early 2011. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Item 2.	*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

Overview

We are a global leader in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of orthopaedic reconstructive implants, dental implants, spinal implants, trauma products and related surgical products (sometimes referred to in this report as “OSP”). We also provide other healthcare related services. We have operations in more than 25 countries and market products in more than 100 countries. We manage operations through three reportable geographic segments — the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Certain percentages presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts and therefore may not recalculate from the rounded numbers used for disclosure purposes. In addition, certain amounts in the 2009 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

We believe the following developments or trends are important in understanding our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and our expected results for the remainder of 2010.

Demand (Volume and Mix) Trends

Increased volume and changes in the mix of product sales contributed 4 percentage points of sales growth during the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to flat volume and mix in the same 2009 period.

We believe long-term market growth rates will be driven by an aging global population, obesity, proven clinical benefits, new material technologies, advances in surgical techniques and more active lifestyles, among other factors. In addition, the ongoing shift in demand to premium products, such as Longevity ^® and Prolong ^® Highly Crosslinked Polyethylenes, Trabecular Metal ^TM Technology products, hip stems with Kinectiv ^® Technology, high-flex knees, knee revision products, porous hip stems and the introduction of patient specific devices are expected to continue to positively affect sales growth.

Pricing Trends

Global selling prices decreased 1 percent during the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Selling prices in the Americas decreased 1 percent during the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Europe selling prices increased 1 percent during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to flat pricing in the same 2009 period. Primarily due to the bi-annual pricing adjustments in Japan that went into effect on April 1, 2010, Asia Pacific selling prices decreased 3 percent during the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to a 1 percent decrease in the same 2009 period. We continue to expect selling prices will be down approximately 1 to 2 percent on a global basis for 2010 largely due to governmental healthcare cost containment efforts and continuing pricing pressure from local hospitals and health systems.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

A strengthening of the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen versus the U.S. Dollar offset a decline in the Euro resulting in a 1 percent increase in sales from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the three month period ended June 30, 2010. For the year ending December 31, 2010, we estimate that an overall stronger U.S. Dollar versus foreign currency exchange rates will have a negative effect of approximately 0-1 percent on sales. We address currency risk through regular operating and financing activities, and, under appropriate circumstances and subject to proper authorization, through the use of forward contracts and foreign currency options solely for managing foreign currency volatility and risk. Changes to foreign currency exchange rates affect sales growth, but due to offsetting gains/losses on hedge contracts, which are recorded in cost of products sold, the effect on net earnings in the near term is expected to be minimal.

Global Economic Conditions

Although certain markets for our products have been impacted by the global economic downturn, particularly in our Europe segment, we have experienced some level of stabilization. For the third straight quarter, volume/mix for our core reconstructive business contributed 4 to 5 percentage points of growth, which are the largest contributions since the third quarter of 2008 when volume/mix trends were in the mid to high single digits. Dental sales volume/mix was positive for the second straight quarter after more than a year of negative growth, as that category had been more affected by the recession than our other categories.

Knees

The NexGen ^® Complete Knee Solution product line, including Gender Solutions ^TM Knee Femoral Implants, the NexGen LPS-Flex Knee and the NexGen CR-Flex Knee, together with the Gender Solutions Natural-Knee ^® Flex System led knee sales. In addition, sales of partial knee devices, including the Zimmer ^® Uni Knee and the recently released Gender Solutions Patello Femoral Joint, contributed to knee growth. We also continue to see growth in our new line of Patient Specific Instruments. In Europe, changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively affected knee sales in the three month period ended June 30, 2010 by 4 percent and positively affected knee sales in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 by 1 percent. In Asia Pacific, changes in foreign currency exchange rates positively affected knee sales in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 by 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

Hips

The Zimmer M/L Taper Stem, the Zimmer M/L Taper Stem with Kinectiv Technology, the CLS ^® Spotorno ^® Stem from the CLS Hip System and the Alloclassic ^® Zweymüller ^® Hip Stem led hip stem sales. In addition, sales of revision Hip products such as the ZMR ^® Hip System and the Trabecular Metal Revision Shell and Augment Cups were strong when compared to the prior year period, as were sales of BIOLOX ^® ¹ delta Heads and Fitmore ^® Hip Stems. Sales of our recently launched Continuum ^TM Acetabular System also contributed to growth in the three month period ended June 30, 2010. In Europe, changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively affected hip sales in the three month period ended June 30, 2010 by 4 percent and positively affected hip sales in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 by 2 percent. In Asia Pacific, changes in foreign currency exchange rates positively affected hip sales in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 by 8 percent and 9 percent, respectively.

Extremities

Extremities sales growth was strong across all regions as these types of procedures have become more widely accepted. The Bigliani/Flatow ^® Complete Shoulder Solution and the Zimmer Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System led extremities sales.

Dental

Dental sales improved for the second straight quarter following a year of weaker demand caused by the global economic downturn in 2009, reflecting a stabilizing trend in this market. Sales were led by the Tapered Screw-Vent ^® Implant System. Regenerative product sales exhibited strong growth.

Trauma

Zimmer Periarticular Locking Plates and the ITST ^® Intertrochanteric/Subtrochanteric Fixation System led trauma sales, while sales of cable products also made a strong contribution in the quarter. Tibial nail and interlocking screw sales within the Zimmer Natural Nail ^TM system increased as we continued the launch of this product line.

Spine

Our spine business in the Americas continued to experience operational challenges, a difficult reimbursement landscape and challenges related to the Dynesys ^® Dynamic Stabilization System. Growth in spine sales in Europe and Asia Pacific for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 was driven by the stabilization of our distribution channels, which followed the Abbott Spine integration activity of 2009. Solid sales of the PathFinder ^® and Sequoia ^® Pedicle Screw Systems, our Universal Clamp ^® System and our Trinica ^® Anterior Cervical Plate System partly offset a decline in sales of the Dynesys system in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010.

OSP and other

OSP sales were led by PALACOS ^® ² Bone Cement and powered instruments. Our wound debridement products also made a strong contribution as we continue to make progress recovering market share after a voluntary recall and temporary suspension of production.

Cost of Products Sold

The increase in cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods was driven by higher manufacturing costs per unit due to lower production levels in late 2009 into 2010. Additionally, foreign currency hedge gains recognized in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 were less significant than foreign currency hedge gains recognized in the same 2009 period.

Under our hedging program, for derivatives which qualify as hedges of future cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value is temporarily recorded in other comprehensive income, and then recognized in cost of products sold when the hedged item affects earnings.

The increases in cost of products sold were partially offset by lower excess inventory and obsolescence charges recognized in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same 2009 periods due to improved inventory management.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expense, or R&D, increased to $55.1 million and $106.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, from $49.9 million and $101.8 million in the same 2009 periods. This increase reflects higher spending on new product development across nearly all of our product categories as well as spending on external research, clinical, regulatory and quality initiatives. We continue to expect R&D spending in 2010 to be between 5 to 6 percent of sales for the full year.

Selling, general and administrative expense, or SG&A, increased to $437.4 million and $884.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, from $432.3 million and $856.0 million in the same 2009 periods. This is an improvement in SG&A as a percentage of sales by 100 basis points in the three month period ended June 30, 2010 and an 80 basis point improvement in the six month period ended June 30, 2010. This improvement represents controlled spending during a time of increasing sales.

The overall dollar increase in spending was driven by medical education and training activities and incremental costs associated with certain operational excellence and growth initiatives.

Acquisition, integration, realignment and other expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $11.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively, from $36.5 million and $43.5 million in the same 2009 periods. The 2010 expenses primarily relate to a transformation of our information technology infrastructure. This included outsourcing our data center to a third party and severance and retention costs for employees in various information technology areas. As a result of the data center outsourcing, we sold certain assets at a loss. Acquisition, integration, realignment and other expenses were higher in the 2009 periods due to severance and termination-related expenses that we incurred as a result of the initiation of our global workforce realignment in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in acquisition, integration, realignment and other expenses is also due to a reduction in contract termination costs and lower legal fees due to the settlement of certain litigation matters.

“Certain Claims” expense is a provision for estimated liabilities to Durom Cup patients undergoing revision surgeries. A provision of $104.0 million was originally recorded during 2008 and 2009 with an additional $75.0 million recorded during the three month period ended June 30, 2010, bringing the total provision to $179.0 million for these claims. For more information regarding these claims, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

We recognized a net curtailment and settlement gain of $32.1 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2009 related to amending our U.S. and Puerto Rico postretirement benefit plans.

Operating Profit, Interest and Other Expense, Income Taxes and Net Earnings

Operating profit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $228.1 million and $522.2 million, respectively, from $296.5 million and $576.3 million in the same 2009 periods. The decrease in operating profit is due to higher operating expenses, most notably the “Certain Claims” provision recorded on our statement of earnings.

Interest and other, net for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, increased to $14.3 million and $28.9 million, respectively, compared to $4.0 million and $7.7 million in the same 2009 periods. The increase in interest expense is a result of the senior unsecured notes that we issued in November 2009.

The effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to 22.6 percent, from 28.2 percent in the same 2009 period. The effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to 24.8 percent, from 27.5 percent in the same 2009 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the 2010 periods is primarily due to the tax effect of the “Certain Claims” provision as well as the favorable resolution of certain tax positions.

Net earnings decreased 21 percent to $165.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to $210.1 million in the same 2009 period. Net earnings decreased 10 percent to $370.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to $412.3 million in the same 2009 period. For the three month 2010 period, basic and diluted earnings per share both decreased 16 percent to $0.82, from $0.98 in the same 2009 period. For the six month 2010 period, basic and diluted earnings per share both decreased 3 percent to $1.83 and $1.82, respectively, from $1.89 and $1.88 in the same 2009 period. The disproportional change in earnings per share as compared with net earnings is attributed to the effect of 2010 and 2009 share repurchases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $532.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to $379.7 million in the same 2009 period. The principal source of cash from operating activities was net earnings. Non-cash items included in net earnings accounted for another $197.7 million of operating cash. All other items of operating cash flows reflect a use of $36.4 million of cash, compared to a use of $209.0 million in the same 2009 period. In the 2009 period we resolved outstanding payments to healthcare professionals and institutions, resulting in substantial cash outflows. A reduction in inventory levels during the 2010 period compared to an increase in inventory levels during the 2009 period also contributed to the improvement in cash flows from operating activities, partially offset by higher tax payments in the 2010 period.

At June 30, 2010, we had 61 days of sales outstanding in trade accounts receivable, which represents an increase of 1 day compared to March 31, 2010 and a decrease of 2 days compared to June 30, 2009. At June 30,

2010, we had 318 days of inventory on hand, which is an increase of 16 days compared to March 31, 2010 and an improvement of 57 days from June 30, 2009.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $91.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to $174.3 million in the same 2009 period. Additions to instruments increased by $7.2 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. Spending on other property, plant and equipment decreased by $28.0 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. We expect to increase spending on property, plant and equipment and instruments over the remainder of 2010 as we replace machinery and equipment in the normal course of business and invest in instruments to support our new product launches. During the first two quarters of 2010, we purchased and sold approximately $4.0 million and $37.0 million, respectively, in short-term investments that have original maturities greater than 90 days. Acquired intellectual property rights of $8.2 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and $25.9 million in the same 2009 period relate to lump-sum payments made to certain healthcare professionals and institutions in place of future royalty payments that otherwise would have been due under the terms of an existing contractual arrangement. Investments in other assets in both 2010 and 2009 primarily relate to payments to acquire certain foreign-based distributors.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $169.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to $142.0 million in the same 2009 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased 2.9 million common shares for a total of $178.9 million, including commissions, under our share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors, compared to $337.8 million in the same 2009 period. In the 2009 period, we borrowed against our senior credit facility, in part, to fund these share repurchases. Proceeds from our stock compensation plans increased in the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same 2009 period, due to an increase in employee stock option exercises.

We have two outstanding tranches of unsecured senior notes (Senior Notes): $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes due November 30, 2019 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due November 30, 2039. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on May 30 and November 30 of each year until maturity. We may redeem the Senior Notes at our election in whole or in part at any time prior to maturity at the applicable redemption prices.

We have a five year $1,350 million revolving, multi-currency, senior unsecured credit facility maturing November 30, 2012 (Senior Credit Facility). We had $131.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility at June 30, 2010, and an availability of $1,218.2 million.

We also have available uncommitted credit facilities totaling $80.4 million.

We may use excess cash to repurchase additional common stock under our share repurchase programs. We had $32.2 million available at June 30, 2010 under our $1.25 billion share repurchase program which expires December 31, 2010. In July 2010, the Board of Directors approved an additional $1.5 billion share repurchase program which will expire on December 31, 2013.

Management believes that cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service needs. Should investment opportunities arise, we believe that our earnings, balance sheet and cash flows will allow us to obtain additional capital, if necessary.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There were no changes in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 to the application of critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The information below provides an update on how certain of those critical accounting policies were applied in the current year.

Commitments and Contingencies — During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, we recorded an additional provision for certain claims of $75.0 million, and we revised the definition of “Certain Claims” recorded in our statement of earnings to include worldwide claims relating to all revisions of Durom Cup cases where the original surgery was performed before our July 22, 2008 suspension of marketing and distribution, regardless of the time period elapsed between the original surgery and the revision surgery. This additional provision represents management’s updated estimate of liability to Durom Cup patients undergoing revisions associated with original surgeries occurring before July 22, 2008.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets — In the fourth quarter of 2009 we incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $73.0 million related to our U.S. Spine reporting unit. Although there were signs of improvement in the three month period ended March 31, 2010, such as growth in sales of acquired Abbott Spine products, our U.S. Spine reporting unit continued to experience challenges, so we performed another impairment test in the first quarter of 2010.

Using methodology similar to that used in the fourth quarter of 2009, we determined the estimated fair value of the reporting unit using an equal weighting of income and market approaches. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was greater (although not substantially greater) than the carrying value of the net assets, so we did not record a goodwill impairment charge.

Although revenues of the U.S. Spine reporting unit decreased in the three month period ended June 30, 2010, the revenue and underlying cash flows were in line with our estimates. Therefore, no impairment test was performed on this reporting unit in the second quarter of 2010.

If the estimated cash flows of the U.S. Spine reporting unit decrease relative to our current estimates, we may have to record impairment charges in the future. Factors that could result in our cash flows being lower than our current estimates include: 1) decreased revenues caused by changes in the healthcare market, poor execution of our operating plans, or our inability to generate new product revenue from our research and development activities, and 2) 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 which will impact our estimated fair values, or may cause changes to the comparable transaction methodology we employed under the market approach of estimating fair value.

We have five other reporting units subject to goodwill impairment testing, but no interim impairment testing was performed on these reporting units as there were no events or circumstances that would warrant an interim test. For each of those five reporting units, the estimated fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value at the last annual impairment test.

Item 3.	*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk*

There have been no material changes from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.


Item 4.	*Controls and Procedures*

We have established disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known on a timely basis to management and the Board of Directors. However, no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
