Exhibit 99.1
STRYKER REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2022 OPERATING RESULTS

Kalamazoo, Michigan - July 26, 2022 - Stryker (NYSE:SYK) reported operating results for the second quarter of 2022:
Second Quarter Results
Reported net sales increased 4.6% to $4.5 billion
Organic net sales increased 6.1%
Reported operating income margin of 17.2%
Adjusted operating income margin(1) contracted 220 bps to 23.7%
Reported EPS increased 11.0% to $1.72
Adjusted EPS(1) of $2.25 in line with 2021

Second Quarter Net Sales Growth Overview
ReportedForeign Currency ExchangeConstant CurrencyAcquisitions / DivestituresOrganic
MedSurg and Neurotechnology8.0 %(2.6)%10.6 %2.7 %7.9 %
Orthopaedics and Spine0.5 (3.4)3.9 — 3.9 
Total4.6 %(3.0)%7.6 %1.5 %6.1 %
"Despite supply shortages we delivered solid organic sales growth in Q2," said Kevin A. Lobo, Chair and CEO. "Negative foreign currency and inflation, including spot buys of materials pressured our adjusted earnings. We are confident in our full year outlook for revenue; however, we are expecting continued adjusted EPS challenges due to worsening foreign exchange and other macroeconomic conditions."
Sales Analysis
Consolidated net sales of $4.5 billion increased 4.6% in the quarter and 7.6% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 6.1% in the quarter including 7.5% from increased unit volume partially offset by 1.4% from lower prices.
MedSurg and Neurotechnology net sales of $2.5 billion increased 8.0% in the quarter and 10.6% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 7.9% in the quarter including 7.8% from increased unit volume and 0.1% from higher prices.
Orthopaedics and Spine net sales of $1.9 billion increased 0.5% in the quarter and 3.9% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 3.9% in the quarter including 7.1% from increased unit volume partially offset by 3.2% from lower prices.
Earnings Analysis
Reported net earnings of $656 million increased 10.8% in the quarter. Reported net earnings per diluted share of $1.72 increased 11.0% in the quarter. Reported gross profit margin and reported operating income margin were 62.9% and 17.2% in the quarter. Reported net earnings include certain items, such as charges for acquisition and integration-related activities, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, asset write-offs and impairments and restructuring-related and other charges, 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 63.3% in the quarter, and adjusted operating income margin(1) was 23.7% in the quarter. Adjusted net earnings(1) of $860 million decreased 0.1% in the quarter. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $2.25 was in line with 2021.
2022 Outlook
Considering our second quarter results, the strong order book for capital equipment and the sales momentum in our implant businesses, we now expect full year 2022 organic net sales growth to be in the range of 8% to 9%. If foreign currency exchange rates hold near current levels, we expect net sales in the full year will be adversely impacted by approximately 2% to 3% and adjusted net earnings per diluted share(2) will be adversely impacted by approximately $0.25 to $0.30 in the full year. Based on our performance in the second quarter including consideration of the continued supply chain challenges and the inflationary environment, together with our increased sales guidance and continued financial discipline, and most significantly, the anticipated future impact of foreign currency, we now expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share(2) in the range of $9.30 to $9.50 per share.
(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 earnings per diluted share to expected adjusted net earnings per diluted share as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of restructuring-related and other charges, acquisition-related expenses and fair value adjustments to inventory 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.

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; 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 effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings; adjusted net earnings per diluted share (Diluted EPS); free cash flow; and free cash flow conversion. 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. To measure free cash flow, we adjust cash provided by operating activities by the amount of purchases of property, plant and equipment and proceeds from long-lived asset disposals and remove the impact of certain legal settlements and recall payments. To measure free cash flow conversion we divide free cash flow by adjusted net 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, research, development and engineering expenses, operating income, other income (expense), net, 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. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share are the same as those used in the calculation of reported net earnings per diluted share for the respective period.
