“We delivered another strong quarter of sales growth and expect this to continue into 2015," said Kevin A. Lobo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This growth, combined with ongoing operational improvements and a strong balance sheet, position us well for the future."
Sales Analysis
Consolidated net sales of $2.6 billion and $9.7 billion increased 6.1% and 7.3% in the quarter and full year, respectively. Net sales in the quarter grew by 7.4% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix and 3.1% as a result of acquisitions. Net sales in the quarter were negatively impacted by 2.6% due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and 2.0% due to changes in price. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales in the quarter increased 5.5% in constant currency.
Orthopaedics net sales of $1.1 billion increased 1.7% in the quarter, as reported, and 4.5% in constant currency. Net sales grew by 5.0% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix and 2.8% as a result of acquisitions. Net sales were negatively impacted by 3.3% due to changes in price and 2.9% due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 1.8% in constant currency.
MedSurg net sales of $1.1 billion increased 12.1% in the quarter, as reported, and 14.1% in constant currency. Net sales grew by 9.7% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix and 4.7% as a result of acquisitions. Net sales were negatively impacted by 2.0% due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and 0.3% due to changes in price. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 9.4% in constant currency.
Neurotechnology and Spine net sales of $454 million increased 3.9% in the quarter, as reported, and 7.0% in constant currency. Net sales grew by 8.5% due to increased unit volume and changes in product mix and 0.7% as a result of acquisitions. Net sales were negatively impacted by 3.0% due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and 2.3% due to changes in price. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 6.3% in constant currency.
Earnings Analysis
Reported net earnings of $260 million and $515 million decreased 32.6% and 48.8% in the quarter and full year, respectively. Reported diluted net earnings per share of $0.67 and $1.34, respectively decreased 33.7% and 49.0% in the quarter and full year, respectively.
Reported net earnings include charges for the Rejuvenate, ABG II and Neptune recalls, tax impacts related to the establishment of the European regional headquarters and a planned cash repatriation, acquisition and integration related charges, additional cost of sales for inventory sold that was "stepped up" to fair value related to acquisitions, restructuring and related charges, and certain charges related to regulatory and legal matters. The effect of each of these matters on reported net earnings appears in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures provided below. These charges reduced the reported gross profit margin in the quarter from 66.1% to 65.9% and from 66.3% to 66.0% for the full year. These charges reduced the reported operating income margin in the quarter from 27.5% to 17.9% and from 25.0% to 12.9% for the full year.
Excluding the impact of the items described above, adjusted net earnings(3) of $552 million and $1.8 billion increased 12.0% and 5.6% in the quarter and full year, respectively. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share(2) of $1.44 and $4.73 increased 11.6% and 5.3% in the quarter and full year, respectively. As previously announced, beginning in 2014 we are also excluding amortization of intangible assets from our adjusted diluted net earnings per share(2). Using this new measure, adjusted diluted net earnings per share(2) for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013 would have been $1.29 and $4.49, respectively.
2015 Outlook
We expect 2015 constant currency sales growth in the range of 5.5% to 7.0%, including organic sales growth in the range of 4.5% to 6.0%. Based on current foreign currency exchange rates we expect adjusted diluted net earnings per share to be in the range of $1.05-$1.10 and $4.90-$5.10 in the first quarter and the full year, respectively. If foreign currency exchange rates hold near current levels, we expect sales in the first quarter and full year of 2015 to be negatively impacted by approximately 3% to 4% and adjusted diluted net earnings per share to be negatively impacted by approximately $0.08 and $0.30 in the first quarter and the full year, respectively.
(1) In December 2014 we changed the name of our Reconstructive business segment to Orthopaedics. The change in name had no financial impact.
(2) A reconciliation of reported diluted net earnings per share to adjusted diluted net earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information, appears below.
(3) A reconciliation of reported net earnings to adjusted net earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information, appears below.

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 operating income; adjusted other income (expense); adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings; and adjusted diluted net earnings per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist 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 year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates. To measure percentage organic sales growth, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions that affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage organic sales growth is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates excluding the impact of acquisitions. 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.
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, operating income, other income/(expense), effective income tax rate, net earnings and diluted net earnings per 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 at the end of the discussion of Results of Operations 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:
