"We delivered another solid quarter of operational results with balanced sales growth across all segments and geographies, as well as strong cash flow performance," said Kevin A.

Consolidated net sales of $2.2 billion increased 5.0% in the quarter compared to the prior year. Net sales in the quarter grew by 7.8% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix and 0.6% as a result of acquisitions. Net sales in the quarter were unfavorably impacted by 1.9% due to changes in price and 1.5% due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 5.9% in constant currency over the prior year.
Reconstructive net sales of $979 million increased 5.6% in the quarter compared to the prior year, as reported, and 7.6% in constant currency.

MedSurg net sales of $819 million increased 4.2% in the quarter compared to the prior year, as reported, and 4.8% in constant currency. Net sales in the quarter grew by 4.8% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix but were unfavorably impacted by 0.1% due to changes in price and 0.6% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on net sales.
Neurotechnology and Spine net sales of $414 million increased 5.4% in the quarter compared to the prior year, as reported, and 7.5% in constant currency. Net sales in the quarter grew by 8.8% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix and 0.8% as a result of acquisitions.

Reported net earnings of $213 million decreased 34.5% in the quarter compared to the prior year. Diluted net earnings per share of $0.56 decreased 34.1% in the quarter over the prior year. Reported net earnings in the quarter includes an additional charge of $170 million ($120 million net of tax or $0.31 per diluted share) related to the previously disclosed voluntary recall of the Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stems, bringing total charges recorded for this recall to $400 million. In addition, a charge of $19 million ($22 million net of tax or $0.06 per diluted share) was recorded in the quarter related to two previously disclosed United States regulatory matters. Reported net earnings in the quarter also includes acquisition and integration related charges of $18 million ($15 million net of taxes or $0.04 per diluted share) related to the Neurovascular, Surpass and Trauson acquisitions and restructuring and related charges of $19 million ($10 million net of taxes or $0.03 per diluted share). These charges reduced the reported gross profit margin from 67.7% to 67.0% and the reported operating income margin from 23.3% to 13.1%.
Excluding the charges described above, adjusted net earnings(2) of $380 million increased 1.3% in the quarter over the prior year and adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) of $1.00 increased 2.0% in the quarter over the prior year. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) in the second quarter of 2013 includes approximately $0.03 per diluted share of costs associated with the new Medical Device Excise Tax.
For the full year 2013, Stryker is projecting constant currency sales growth in a range of 5.0% to 6.5%. If foreign currency exchange rates hold near current levels, the Company anticipates net sales will be negatively impacted by approximately 1.5% to 2.5% in both the third quarter and full year of 2013. Excluding the expected impact of foreign currency and acquisitions, projected 2013 sales growth is 4.0% to 5.5% for the full year.
The Company now projects 2013 adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) to be in a range of $4.20 to $4.26.
