Lobo, Chair and CEO, Stryker. “Having surpassed $25 billion in revenue, we enter 2026 with significant momentum and are poised to continue delivering growth at the high end of MedTech. I want to thank our teams for driving exceptional results and positioning Stryker for sustained success this year and beyond.” Sales Analysis Consolidated net sales of $7.2 billion and $25.1 billion increased 11.4% in the quarter, 10.4% in constant currency, and increased 11.2% in the full year, 10.7% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 11.0% in the quarter and 10.3% in the full year including 10.9% and 9.9% from increased unit volume and 0.1% and 0.4% from higher prices. MedSurg and Neurotechnology net sales of $4.6 billion and $15.6 billion increased 17.5% in the quarter, 16.6% in constant currency, and increased 15.7% in the full year, 15.4% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 12.6% and 10.7% in the quarter and full year including 12.5% and 10.0% from increased unit volume and 0.1% and 0.7% from higher prices. Orthopaedics net sales of $2.6 billion and $9.5 billion increased 2.2% in the quarter, 0.9% in constant currency, and increased 4.3% in the full year, 3.8% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 8.4% and 9.5% in the quarter and full year including 8.5% and 9.6% from increased unit volume partially offset by 0.1% from lower prices in the quarter and full year. Earnings Analysis Reported net earnings of $0.8 billion and $3.2 billion increased 55.5% in the quarter and increased 8.5% in the full year. Reported net earnings per diluted share of $2.20 and $8.40 increased 56.0% in the quarter and increased 8.2% in the full year. Reported gross profit margin and reported operating income margin were 64.5% and 25.2% in the quarter and 64.0% and 19.5% in the full year. Reported net earnings include certain items, such as charges for acquisition and integration-related activities, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, structural optimization and other special charges, goodwill and other impairments, costs to comply with certain medical device regulations, recall-related matters, regulatory and legal matters and tax matters. Excluding the aforementioned items, adjusted gross profit margin (1) was 65.2% and 65.3% in the quarter and full year, and adjusted operating income margin (1) was 30.2% and 26.3% in the quarter and full year. Adjusted net earnings (1) of $1.7 billion and $5.3 billion increased 11.6% and 12.1% in the quarter and full year. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share (1) of $4.47 and $13.63 increased 11.5% and 11.8% in the quarter and full year. 1 2026 Outlook Based on our momentum exiting 2025, healthy procedural volumes and strong demand for our capital products, we expect 2026 organic net sales growth (2) to be in the range of 8.0% to 9.5% and adjusted net earnings per diluted share (2) to be in the range of $14.90 to $15.10. Our full year sales guidance includes a modestly favorable pricing impact. Additionally, foreign exchange is expected to have a slightly positive impact on both sales and adjusted net earnings per diluted share (2) should rates hold near year-to-date levels. (1) A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures: gross profit margin, operating income and operating income margin, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, and other important information accompanies this press release. (2) We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected net sales growth to expected organic net sales growth as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of acquisitions and divestitures and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected net earnings per diluted share to expected adjusted net earnings per diluted share or our expected operating income margin to expected adjusted operating income margin as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of structural optimization and other special charges, acquisition-related expenses and the outcome of certain regulatory, legal and tax matters. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

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 research, development and engineering expenses; adjusted operating income; adjusted other income (expense), net; adjusted income taxes; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings; and adjusted net earnings per diluted share (Diluted EPS). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and 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 and prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rate. To measure percentage organic sales growth, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, which affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage organic sales growth is calculated by translating current year and prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rate excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. 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. The income tax effect of each adjustment was determined based on the tax effect of the jurisdiction in which the related pre-tax adjustment was recorded. 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, research, development and engineering expenses, operating income, other income (expense), net, income taxes, effective income tax rate, net earnings and net earnings per diluted 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 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.
