Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements and Use of Document Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements: This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words like "anticipate," "expect," "project," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "may," "intend" and similar words. These forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and estimates using information available to us at the time and are not intended to be guarantees of future events or performance. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our expected net sales; reported, operational and organic revenue growth rates; reported and adjusted EPS for the first quarter and full year 2023; our financial performance; our business plans and product performance, and new and anticipated product approvals and launches. If our underlying assumptions turn out to be incorrect, or if certain risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the expectations and projections expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. These factors, in some cases, have affected and in the future (together with other factors) could affect our ability to implement our business strategy and may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements expressed in this presentation. As a result, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements.” Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which they may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Measures: This document contains non-GAAP measures (denoted with *) in talking about our Company’s performance. The reconciliations of those non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures are contained within this document including appendices attached to the end of this presentation or in our earnings release. Operational net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Organic net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net sales attributable to acquisitions and divestitures for which there are less than a full period of comparable net sales. We measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on their respective net sales, operating income, excluding intersegment profits, and operating income as a percentage of net sales, all excluding the impact of foreign currency. We exclude from operating income of reportable segments certain corporate-related expenses and certain transactions or adjustments considered to be non-operational. Please refer to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we file thereafter for an explanation of each of these adjustments and the reasons for excluding each item. Adjusted EPS excludes the impacts of certain charges (credits) which may include amortization expense, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related net charges (credits), investment portfolio gains and losses, restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits), certain litigation-related net charges (credits), EU MDR implementation costs, debt extinguishment charges, deferred tax expenses (benefits) and discrete tax items. Emerging Markets: We define Emerging Markets as the 20 countries that we believe have strong growth potential based on their economic conditions, healthcare sectors and our global capabilities. Other sales: Presented throughout this document is a sales category titled Other (denoted with †). In 2022, this reflects sales reserves established for Italian government payback provisions, not allocated to our reportable segments. In 2021 and 2020, this includes net sales associated with Specialty Pharmaceuticals prior to the sale of the business on March 1, 2021. Specialty Pharmaceuticals net sales were substantially U.S. based and presented as a stand-alone operating segment alongside our medical device reportable segments.
