STRYKER REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
Kalamazoo, Michigan - July 23, 2015 - Stryker Corporation (NYSE:SYK) reported operating results for the second quarter of 2015:
Second Quarter Highlights
Raises full year organic sales growth guidance to 5.5% to 6.5%
Raises full year adjusted diluted net earnings per share guidance to $5.06 to $5.12
Net sales grew 2.9% to $2.4 billion (7.6% constant currency)
• | Orthopaedics 0.6% or 6.2% constant currency |
• | MedSurg 3.9% or 7.4% constant currency |
• | Neurotechnology and Spine 6.4% or 11.5% constant currency |
Reported diluted net earnings per share increased 212.1% to $1.03
Adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) increased 11.1% to $1.20
"We continue to execute well across our businesses and delivered organic sales growth of approximately 7% in the second quarter," said Kevin A. Lobo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strong first half performance and positive momentum is reflected in our raised guidance and underscores the strength of our people and diversified portfolio."
Sales Analysis
Consolidated net sales of $2.4 billion increased 2.9% in the quarter, as reported, and 7.6% in constant currency as net sales were negatively impacted by 4.7% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the 0.7% impact of acquisitions, net sales in the quarter increased 6.9% in constant currency, including 8.7% from increased unit volume partially offset by 1.8% lower prices.
Orthopaedics net sales of $1.0 billion increased 0.6% in the quarter, as reported, and 6.2% in constant currency as net sales were negatively impacted by 5.6% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the 0.9% impact of acquisitions, net sales in the quarter increased 5.3% in constant currency, including 7.7% from increased unit volume partially offset by 2.4% lower prices.
MedSurg net sales of $939 million increased 3.9% in the quarter, as reported, and 7.4% in constant currency as net sales were negatively impacted by 3.5% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the 0.7% impact of acquisitions, net sales in the quarter increased 6.7% in constant currency, including 7.3% from increased unit volume partially offset by 0.6% lower prices.
Neurotechnology and Spine net sales of $458 million increased 6.4% in the quarter, as reported, and 11.5% in constant currency as net sales were negatively impacted by 5.1% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Net sales in the quarter in constant currency increased 14.1% from increased unit volume partially offset by 2.7% lower prices.
Earnings Analysis
Reported net earnings of $392 million increased 206.3% in the quarter. Reported diluted net earnings per share of $1.03 increased 212.1% in the quarter. Reported net earnings include charges for the Rejuvenate and ABG II recall, legal settlements, acquisition and integration related activities, additional cost of sales for inventory sold that was "stepped up" to fair value related to acquisitions, and restructuring related activities. The effect of each of these matters on reported net earnings appears in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures provided below. These charges reduced the reported gross profit margin in the quarter from 66.3% to 66.0% and reduced the reported operating income margin in the quarter from 23.8% to 17.6%.
Excluding the impact of the items described above, adjusted net earnings(2) of $458 million increased 10.4% in the quarter. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) of $1.20 increased 11.1% in the quarter.
2015 Outlook
We expect 2015 constant currency sales growth in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%, including organic sales growth in the range of 5.5% to 6.5%. Based on current foreign currency exchange rates we expect adjusted diluted net earnings per share to be in the range of $1.20-$1.25 and $5.06-$5.12 in the third quarter and the full year, respectively. If foreign currency exchange rates hold near current levels, we expect sales in the third quarter and full year of 2015 to be negatively impacted by approximately 3.5% to 4.0% and adjusted diluted net earnings per share to be negatively impacted by approximately $0.25 in the full year.
(1) A reconciliation of reported diluted net earnings per share to adjusted diluted net earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information, appears below.
(2) A reconciliation of reported net earnings to adjusted net earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information, appears below.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; percentage organic sales growth; adjusted gross profit; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings; and adjusted diluted net earnings per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist shareholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results of reportable business segments and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with our budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP financial measures.
To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage sales growth in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates. To measure percentage organic sales growth, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions that affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage organic sales growth is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates excluding the impact of acquisitions. To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, we exclude certain items that affect the comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales growth, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, effective income tax rate, net earnings and diluted net earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures at the end of the discussion of Results of Operations below, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The following reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:
