"We delivered another quarter of strong organic sales growth and continued margin expansion," said Kevin A. Lobo, Chair and CEO. "The positive momentum in our business remains intact, including a strong procedural environment and our supercycle of innovation."
Sales Analysis
Consolidated net sales of $4.9 billion increased 9.6% in the quarter and 9.3% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 9.2% in the quarter including 8.9% from increased unit volume and 0.3% from higher prices.
MedSurg and Neurotechnology net sales of $2.9 billion increased 10.5% in the quarter and 10.3% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 10.1% in the quarter including 8.7% from increased unit volume and 1.4% from higher prices.
Orthopaedics and Spine net sales of $2.1 billion increased 8.4% in the quarter and 8.0% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 8.0% in the quarter including 9.1% from increased unit volume partially offset by 1.1% from lower prices.
Earnings Analysis
Reported net earnings of $692 million decreased 15.2% in the quarter. Reported net earnings per diluted share of $1.80 decreased 15.9% in the quarter. Reported gross profit margin and reported operating income margin were 64.3% and 19.0% in the quarter. 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 (including asset write-offs and 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 64.7% in the quarter, and adjusted operating income margin(1) was 23.4% in the quarter. Adjusted net earnings(1) of $944 million increased 16.5% in the quarter. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $2.46 increased 16.0% in the quarter.
2023 Outlook
Considering our year-to-date results, our robust backlog for capital equipment and continued positive procedural trends, we now expect full year 2023 organic net sales growth(2) to be in the range of 10.0% to 10.5% including slightly positive pricing for the year. If foreign exchange rates hold near their current levels, we anticipate net sales will be unfavorably impacted by approximately 0.6% and adjusted net earnings per diluted share(2) will be unfavorably impacted by $0.10 to $0.15 for the full year, both of which are included in our guidance. Based on our performance in the first nine months of the year, together with our strong sales momentum, we now expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share(2) to be in the range of $10.35 to $10.45.
(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 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 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.

Notes: The three months 2023 had one less selling day than 2022. The nine months 2023 had the same number of selling days as 2022. Beginning in the first quarter 2023 we consolidated Other MedSurg and Neurotechnology into Endoscopy as Other MedSurg and Neurotechnology (primarily Sustainability Solutions) has been fully integrated into our Endoscopy business. Endoscopy includes sales related to Other of $84 and $72 for the three months 2023 and 2022 and $252 and $218 for the nine months 2023 and 2022. We have reflected these changes in all historical periods presented.
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 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. 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.
