NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Zimvie UK Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the company's registered office is One, Glass Wharf, Bristol, BS2 0ZX. The registered number is 230910. |
The presentation currency of these financial statements is Sterling (£), being the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (its functional currency). All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound unless stated otherwise. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be reliably measured, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
This is usually when the goods have been dispatched and legal title has passed. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Instruments - straight line over 5 years |
Demonstration equipment - straight line - 50% |
Fixtures and fittings - straight line over 5 years |
Computer equipment - straight line over 3 to 5 years |
Assets are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each reporting date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |

Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |

8. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 |
The Report of the Auditors was qualified on the following basis: |
Basis for qualified opinion on the financial statements |
With respect to stocks having a carrying amount of £563,752 as at 31 December 2023 and £435,127 as at 31 December 2022, which comprise stocks held by the company and consignment stocks held by customers, the audit evidence available to us was limited because we did not observe the counting of the physical stocks held by the company at either of those dates, and because the directors were unable to provide evidence confirming the consignment stocks held by customers as at 31 December 2022. |
We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the quantities and conditions of stocks held at either 31 December 2023 or December 2022 by using other audit procedures. |
In addition, we were unable to obtain audit evidence in respect of the valuation of recorded stocks held at 31 December 2023. |
Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the carrying amounts at 31 December 2023 or at 31 December 2022 were necessary or whether there were any consequential effects on the profit before taxation for the year ended 31 December 2023 or for the year ended 31 December 2022. |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. |
Matters required to report by exception |
In respect solely of the limitation on our work relating to stocks described above: |
- | we have not obtained all the information and explanations we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
for and on behalf of |
9. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The voting rights of the company are entirely controlled by the ultimate parent undertaking. As a result the company has taken advantage of the exemption available in section 33.1A of FRS102 and has not disclosed in these financial statements details of transactions with entities which are part of the group. |

10. | EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD |
Sale of business operation |
On 15 December 2023 the company's ultimate parent company, ZimVie Inc, agreed the sale of the group's Spine-Division with Highridge Capital Group. The sale was completed at group level in the United States of America on 1 April 2024. |
The transfer of Spine business activities in the UK was deferred until 1 December 2024, until the local buyer in the UK had met legal and regulatory requirements. Until 1 December 2024 Biomet 3i UK Limited continued to control and operate the Spine business in its own name. The economic transactions generated by the Spine business during this transitional period have been registered in the books of Biomet 3i UK Limited. |
The net economic benefit of the global Spine-Business during this transitional period has been transferred at group level in the USA between ZimVie Inc and the buyer. In December 2024 Biomet 3i UK Limited invoiced the whole Spine-business as a Transfer of Going Concern to the local buyer in the UK. Although a net loss was generated on the transfer, Biomet 3i UK Limited has been compensated by ZimVie Inc for the transferred assets and liabilities. |
