Kalamazoo, Michigan - July 21, 2009 - Stryker Corporation (NYSE:SYK) reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as follows:
Second Quarter Highlights
· | Net sales of $1,634 million were flat (0.1% decrease) on a constant currency basis (4.6% decrease as reported) |
· | Orthopaedic Implants sales increased 5.1% on a constant currency basis (0.2% decrease as reported) |

"In a challenging environment, we were very pleased with the growth of our U.S. Orthopaedic Implant businesses, which accelerated from last quarter and showed strong year-over-year gains. This performance, combined with our heavy focus on controlling costs across the company preserved our diluted earnings per share results in the face of the steep short term slowdown in our MedSurg businesses, and the foreign currency headwinds in the quarter," commented Stephen P. MacMillan, President and Chief Executive Officer.
