OUR STRATEGY  > INTEGRATION Bigger Footprint Bigger Sales Force Bigger Manufacturing Base 2,000 + Zimmer sales repre- sentatives around the world LEADING POSITIONS IN  GLOBAL MARKETS LEADING SCALE IN MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS Zimmer today is #1 worldwide in reconstructive orthopaedics, with  #1 positions in both hips and knees, and market leadership positions in Europe, the United States, and Japan based on publicly reported sales. Zimmer is one of the world’s leading orthopaedics brands, trusted by sur- geons to provide  Confidence in your hands. But we’ve built our global leadership by responding to particu- lar surgical philosophies in markets around the world, and through  recognized product brands such as NexGen ® Complete Knee Solutions, including the LPS-Flex , Natural- Knee ® Solutions , Alloclassic ® , VerSys ® , and  Natural Hip TM Systems, Trilogy Acetabular,  Longevity ® and Durasul ® Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene. Zimmer products and procedures have a track record of more than 100,000 clinical outcomes. Zimmer has more than 2,000 sales representatives selling in more than 80 countries around the world, ensur- ing that surgeons have the information and support needed to achieve positive patient outcomes. All of our sales representatives utilize the benefits  of Zimmer’s comprehensive product offerings and significant investments in training to develop strong loyal relationships with surgeons. The Centerpulse acquisition resulted in little overlap in key geographic mar- kets; therefore, sales dis-synergies are estimated to be approximately $50 million in 2004. The company  is focused on achieving expense  synergy targets while capitalizing on cross-selling opportunities, to extend Zimmer’s record of sales growth exceeding the orthopaedics industry. Zimmer’s large-scale, vertically  integrated manufacturing and distri- bution capacity — over 1,300,000 square feet — provides economies of scale and quality control throughout the manufacturing process. The com- bination of Zimmer and Centerpulse brought together the industry’s only automated in-house investment cast- ing facility with the only in-house forging operation. We’re capitalizing on our operational capabilities with lean manufacturing processes that minimize inventories, eliminate waste and reduce cycle times — all of which reduce product costs. A PERFECT FIT FOR STRONG GROWTH Robotic manufacturing of knee implant  components exemplifies Zimmer quality. Zimmer’s in-house investment  casting facility will now serve our expanded product base. Zimmer representatives provide information to surgeons through our participation at orthopaedic medical conferences. 8
