Positive Outlook

- Strong procedural volumes
- Healthy demand for capital products
- Stabilizing macro-economic environment
- Steady progress of pricing actions
Challenges Ahead
- Sales will be modestly unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange rates for the full year, being more negative in the first half of the year.
- Adjusted net earnings per diluted share will be negatively impacted by foreign exchange rates approximately $0.05 to $0.10.
- 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 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.
