Forward-Looking Statements/Additional Notes This presentation and our discussion contain forward-looking information and statements including, but not limited to, our expectations with respect to expected launch dates of new products; forecasted 2013 constant currency revenue growth; forecasted 2013 gross and adjusted operating margins; expected impact of the medical device tax on adjusted operating margin; forecasted 2013 adjusted earnings per share; and other matters which inherently involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are addressed in our SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include revenue growth on a constant currency basis; adjusted operating income and margins; adjusted earnings per share; adjusted gross profit and margin; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; and adjusted operating expenses. Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes, depending on the period presented, the effect of charges associated with a goodwill impairment, our restructuring programs and asset impairments, losses and other charges related to acquisition costs, charges associated with the amortization of additional interest expense related to an interest rate swap terminated in 2011, intangible amortization expense, the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes and a litigation verdict against the Company with respect to a non-operating joint venture. Consistent with past practice, adjusted earnings per share has not been adjusted to exclude the benefit resulting from the forfeiture of equity awards. Constant currency revenue growth excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted operating expenses exclude costs associated with a litigation verdict against the Company with respect to a non-operating joint venture and acquisition costs. Adjusted operating income and margin exclude costs associated acquisitions, restructuring and impairment charges and (gain) loss on sale of businesses and assets. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is contained within this presentation. The following slides reflect continuing operations. 4
