Zimmer Biomet : Provides Update on Manufacturing Facilities in Guaynabo and Ponce, Puerto Rico

Following a comprehensive onsite assessment of the impact of Hurricane Maria, Zimmer Biomet has confirmed that its manufacturing facilities in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and Ponce, Puerto Rico sustained relatively minor damage from the storm. The Company's manufacturing operations at both Puerto Rico plants have been partially restored and are expected to gradually ramp up over the coming weeks as central power is brought back online in Guaynabo and Ponce. The Company estimates that current inventory levels are sufficient to mitigate the near-term production disruptions at the two Puerto Rico facilities.

While Zimmer Biomet works to bring manufacturing operations back online and restore full operational capacity, the Company continues to support its employees, their families and customers affected by Hurricane Maria.
