NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General Information

Management believes the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary to fairly present the financial position of Stryker Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Stryker," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") on June 30, 2022 and the results of operations for the three and six months 2022. The results of operations included in these Consolidated Financial Statements may not necessarily be indicative of our annual results. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for consideration of their applicability. ASUs not included in our disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2022 we adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This update requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

Our policies for recognizing sales have not changed from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021.

We disaggregate our net sales by product line and geographic location for each of our segments as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and certainty of our net sales and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 contract assets recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were not significant.

Our contract liabilities arise as a result of consideration received from customers at inception of contracts for certain businesses or where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of our performance obligations. We generally satisfy performance obligations within one year from the contract inception date. Our contract liabilities were $640 and $529 on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We use operational and economic hedges, foreign currency exchange forward contracts, net investment hedges (both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments) and interest rate derivative instruments to manage the impact of currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations on earnings, cash flow and equity. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We are exposed to potential credit loss in the event of nonperformance by our counterparties on our outstanding derivative instruments but do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties. Should a counterparty default, our maximum loss exposure is the asset balance of the instrument. We have not changed our hedging

strategies, accounting practices or objectives from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021.

We had €1.5 billion and €2.0 billion on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of certain foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of our investments in certain of our entities with functional currencies denominated in Euros. In addition to these derivative financial instruments designated as net investment hedges, we had €4.4 billion on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of senior unsecured notes designated as net investment hedges to selectively hedge portions of our investment in certain international subsidiaries. The currency effects of our Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes are reflected in AOCI within shareholders' equity where they offset gains and losses recorded on our net investment in international subsidiaries.

On June 30, 2022 the total after tax gain (loss) in AOCI related to designated net investment hedges was $254.

Pretax gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $38 and net investment hedges of $32 recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to cost of sales and other income (expense), net in earnings within 12 months as of June 30, 2022. This cash flow hedge reclassification is primarily due to the sale of inventory that includes previously hedged purchases. A component of the AOCI amounts related to net investment hedges is reclassified over the life of the hedge instruments as we elected to exclude the initial value of the component related to the spot-forward difference from the effectiveness assessment.

Interest Rate Hedges

Pretax gains of $5 recorded in AOCI related to other interest rate hedges closed in conjunction with debt issuances are expected to be reclassified to other income (expense), net in earnings within 12 months of June 30, 2022. The cash flow effect of interest rate hedges is recorded in cash flow from operations.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our policies for managing risk related to foreign currency, interest rates, credit and markets and our process for determining fair value have not changed from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021.

There were no significant transfers into or out of any level of the fair value hierarchy in 2022.

On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the aggregate difference between the cost and fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities was nominal. Interest and marketable securities income was $20 and $18 in the three months and $35 and $35 in the six months 2022 and 2021, which was recorded in other income (expense), net.

Our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities had a minimum credit quality rating of A2 (Moody's), A (Standard & Poor's) and A (Fitch). We do not plan to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

We are involved in various ongoing proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings related to product, labor, intellectual property and other matters, the most significant of which are more fully described below. The outcomes of these matters will generally not be known for prolonged periods of time. In certain of the legal proceedings the claimants seek damages as well as other compensatory and equitable relief that could result in the payment of significant claims and settlements and/or the imposition of injunctions or other equitable relief. For legal matters for which management had sufficient information to reasonably estimate our future obligations, a liability representing

management's best estimate of the probable loss, or the minimum of the range of probable losses when a best estimate within the range is not known, is recorded. The estimates are based on consultation with legal counsel, previous settlement experience and settlement strategies. If actual outcomes are less favorable than those estimated by management, additional expense may be incurred, which could unfavorably affect future operating results. We are self-insured for certain claims and expenses. The ultimate cost to us with respect to product liability claims could be materially different than the amount of the current estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2022 the United States District Court for the District of Delaware issued a judgment following a jury verdict in favor of PureWick Corporation (PureWick) for its 2019 complaint seeking patent infringement damages related to our PrimaFit and PrimoFit products. The court awarded damages and we recorded charges of $28 in March 2022. In June 2022 PureWick filed a motion to seek enhancement of the judgment and if successful, the judgment could total approximately $100 and include an injunction against future sales. We intend to appeal the outcome of this case.

Recall Matters

In June 2012 we voluntarily recalled our Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems and terminated global distribution of these hip products. Product liability lawsuits relating to this voluntary recall have been filed against us. In November 2014 we entered into a settlement agreement to compensate eligible United States patients who had revision surgery prior to November 3, 2014 and in December 2016 the settlement program was extended to patients who had revision surgery prior to December 19, 2016. In September 2020 we entered into a second settlement agreement to compensate eligible United States patients who had revision surgery prior to September 9, 2020. We continue to offer support for recall-related care and reimburse patients who are not eligible to enroll in the settlement program for testing and treatment services, including any necessary revision surgeries. In addition, there are remaining lawsuits that we will continue to defend against.

In August 2016 and May 2018 we voluntarily recalled certain lot-specific sizes and offsets of LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads. Product liability lawsuits and claims relating to this voluntary recall have been filed against us. In November 2018 we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve a significant number of claims and lawsuits related to the recalls. In April 2022 we executed a second agreement to resolve a significant number of claims and lawsuits related to the recalls. The specific terms of the settlement agreement, including the financial terms, are confidential.

(Wright) in November 2020, we are responsible for certain product liability claims, primarily related to certain hip products sold by Wright prior to its 2014 divestiture of the OrthoRecon business. We will continue to evaluate each claim and the possible loss we may incur.

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.7
STRYKER CORPORATION2022 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, costs associated with the defense and settlement of these matters. For the six months 2022 we have recorded charges of $18 primarily related to Wright hip products and made payments of $19 primarily related to Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems. Based on the information that has been received, we have estimated the remaining range of probable loss related to recall matters globally to be approximately $380 to $515. We have recorded reserves representing the remaining minimum of the range of probable loss. The final outcomes of these matters are dependent on many factors that are difficult to predict. Accordingly the ultimate cost related to these matters may be materially different than the amount of our current estimate and accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 7 - ACQUISITIONS

We acquire stock in companies and various assets that continue to support our capital deployment and product development strategies. The aggregate purchase price of our acquisitions, net of cash acquired was $2,563 and $108 in the six months 2022 and 2021.

In February 2022 we completed the acquisition of Vocera Communications, Inc. (Vocera) for $79.25 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $2.6 billion, net of cash acquired ($3.0 billion including convertible notes). Vocera is a leader in the digital care coordination and communication category. Vocera is part of our Medical business within MedSurg and Neurotechnology. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition reflects the strategic benefits of expanding our presence in adjacent markets, diversifying our product portfolio, advancing innovations, and accelerating our digital aspirations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

In the six months 2022 note holders elected to redeem the 1.50% and 0.50% convertible notes assumed in the Vocera acquisition for $101 and $324. These repayments are classified as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Share-based awards for Vocera employees vested upon our acquisition and a charge of $132 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2022.

Purchase price allocations for our significant acquisitions are:

NOTE 8 - DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

We have lines of credit issued by various financial institutions that are available to fund our day-to-day operating needs. Certain of our credit facilities require us to comply with financial and other covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants on June 30, 2022.

In February 2022 we entered into a $1.5 billion term loan agreement that matures on February 22, 2025 and bears interest at a base rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.725%. In June 2022 we repaid $250 on the term loan.

In 2022 our Board of Directors approved an increase to the maximum amount of commercial paper that can be outstanding from $1,500 to $2,250.

On June 30, 2022 there were no borrowings outstanding under our credit facility or commercial paper program which allows for maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance.

Substantially all of our debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates of 8.9% and 11.5% in the three and six months 2022 include the reversal of deferred income tax on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries determined to be indefinitely reinvested and certain discrete tax items. Our effective tax rates of 10.6% and 13.1% in the three and six months 2021 include certain discrete tax items.

We are routinely audited by income tax authorities in the jurisdictions we operate. In July 2022 we effectively settled the United States federal income tax audit for years 2014 through 2018. Accordingly in the three months ending September 30, 2022 we expect to reduce our accruals for uncertain tax positions and related interest by approximately $220.

NOTE 10 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

As previously disclosed, effective December 31, 2021 we changed our reportable business segments to (i) MedSurg and Neurotechnology and (ii) Orthopaedics and Spine to align to our new internal reporting structure. We have reflected these changes in all historical periods presented.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ABOUT STRYKER

Stryker is one of the world's leading medical technology companies and, together with our customers, we are driven to make healthcare better. We offer innovative products and services in Medical and Surgical, Neurotechnology, Orthopaedics and Spine that help improve patient and hospital outcomes. Alongside its customers around the world, Stryker impacts more than 100 million patients annually.

We segregate our operations into two reportable business segments: (i) MedSurg and Neurotechnology and (ii) Orthopaedics and Spine. MedSurg and Neurotechnology products include surgical equipment and navigation systems (Instruments), endoscopic and communications systems (Endoscopy), patient handling, emergency medical equipment and intensive care disposable products (Medical), minimally invasive products for the treatment of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (Neurovascular), a comprehensive line of products for traditional brain and open skull based surgical procedures; orthobiologic and biosurgery products, including synthetic bone grafts and vertebral augmentation products (Neuro Cranial) and other medical device products used in a variety of medical specialties. Orthopaedics and Spine products consist primarily of implants used in hip and knee joint replacements and trauma and extremity surgeries, and cervical, thoracolumbar and interbody systems used in spinal injury, deformity and degenerative therapies.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Macroeconomic Environment

The COVID-19 global pandemic and macroeconomic environment has led to severe disruptions in the market and the global and United States economies that may continue for a prolonged period. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various governmental authorities and private enterprises have implemented numerous containment measures, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. A significant number of our global suppliers, vendors, distributors and manufacturing facilities are located in regions that have been affected by the pandemic. Those operations have been materially adversely affected by restrictive government and private enterprise measures implemented in response to the pandemic. This has led to product shortages and an increase in raw material and component pricing as well as other inflationary pressures particularly on our manufacturing costs.

During the quarter we have seen recovery of elective procedures as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided in many geographies, with the exception of some countries in the Asia Pacific region. However sales growth in certain products has been constrained by the continuing supply chain challenges and electronic component shortages, especially impacting the capital products in our MedSurg businesses.

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

The military conflict in Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed by the United States government and other nations in response to this conflict have caused significant volatility and disruptions to the global markets. Given that we provide life-saving and life-enhancing products, we plan to continue operating in Russia provided we can safely do so. During the six months 2022 net sales in Russia were approximately 0.2% of our revenues. Although Russia does not constitute a material portion of our business, there is uncertainty around the impact it will have on the global economy, supply chains and fuel prices generally, and therefore our business. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. "Risk

Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 for further details.

China Volume-Based Procurement and Import Purchase Evaluation

The government in China has launched regional and national programs for volume-based procurement ("VBP") of high-value medical consumables to reduce healthcare costs. Each VBP program has specific requirements to award contracts to the lowest bidders who are able to satisfy the quality and quantity requirements. The successful bidders may be guaranteed sales volume for certain products, while unsuccessful bidders may lose unit sales volume. The prices required for a successful bid have negatively impacted our existing commercial operations of joint replacement and trauma products in China. To date our other businesses have not been significantly impacted; however, the national spine products VBP program was initiated in July 2022. China has also issued national guiding standards for Import Purchase Evaluation which has increased the purchase of locally sourced equipment in China's public hospitals and is impacting our MedSurg business in China. Our business in China represented approximately 2.6% of our revenues for the six months 2022.

Overview of the Three and Six Months

In the three months 2022 we achieved sales growth of 4.6% from 2021. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures sales grew 6.1% in constant currency. We reported operating income margin of 17.2%, net earnings of $656 and net earnings per diluted share of $1.72. Excluding the impact of certain items, adjusted operating income margin(1) contracted by 220 basis points to 23.7%, with adjusted net earnings(1) of $860 and adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $2.25 in line with 2021.

In the six months 2022 we achieved sales growth of 6.3% from 2021. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures sales grew 7.6% in constant currency. We reported operating income margin of 13.9%, net earnings of $979 and net earnings per diluted share of $2.56. Excluding the impact of certain items, adjusted operating income margin(1) contracted by 190 basis points to 22.8%, with adjusted net earnings(1) of $1,612 and adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $4.22 representing growth of 1.0%.

Recent Developments

In February 2022 we entered into a $1.5 billion term loan agreement that matures on February 22, 2025 and bears interest at a base rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.725%. In June 2022 we repaid $250 of this term loan.

In February 2022 we completed the acquisition of Vocera Communications, Inc. (Vocera) for $79.25 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $2.6 billion, net of cash acquired ($3.0 billion including convertible notes). Vocera is a leader in the digital care coordination and communication category. Vocera is part of our Medical business within MedSurg and Neurotechnology. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition reflects the strategic benefits of expanding our presence in adjacent markets, diversifying our product portfolio, advancing innovations, and accelerating our digital aspirations.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We consider our greatest potential areas of market risk exposure to be exchange rate risk and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial results. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about exchange rate risk are included in Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021. There were no material changes from the information provided therein. We are not able to quantify the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results. Qualitative disclosures about the COVID-19 pandemic are included in Part I, Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021.

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.16

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Certifying Officers), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) on June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the six months 2022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In February 2022 we completed the acquisition of Vocera and are currently integrating Vocera into our operations, compliance programs and internal control processes. Vocera constituted approximately 8.5% of our total assets as of June 30, 2022, including the goodwill and intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation and approximately 1% of our net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2022. United States Securities and Exchange Commission guidance allows companies to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of the internal control over financial reporting during the first year following an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. We have excluded the acquired operations of Vocera from our assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are not aware of any material changes to the risk factors included in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021 and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, except for updates to the following risk factor:

We use a variety of raw materials, components, devices and third-party services in our global supply chains, production and distribution processes; significant shortages, price increases or unavailability of third-party services could increase our operating costs, require significant capital expenditures, or adversely impact the competitive position of our products: Our reliance on certain suppliers to secure raw materials, components and finished devices, and on certain third-party service providers, such as sterilization service providers, exposes us to product shortages and unanticipated increases in prices, whether due to inflationary pressure, regulatory changes or otherwise. In addition, several raw materials, components, finished devices and services are procured from a sole-source due to the quality considerations, unique intellectual property considerations or constraints associated with regulatory requirements. If sole-source suppliers or service providers are acquired or were unable or unwilling to deliver these materials or services, we may not be able to manufacture or have available one or more products during such period of unavailability and our business could suffer. In certain cases we may not be able to establish additional or replacement suppliers for such materials or service providers for such services in a timely or cost effective manner, largely as a result of FDA and other regulations that require, among other things, validation of materials, components and services prior to their use in or with our products. In addition, during 2022, the market has experienced increasing inflationary pressures in part due to global supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which

we anticipate will continue. The existence of inflation in the United States and in many of the countries where we conduct business has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. We have experienced and may continue to experience inflationary increases in manufacturing costs and operating expenses as well as negative impacts from weakening exchange rates, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or as a result of general macroeconomic factors, and may not be able to pass these cost increases on to our customers in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse impact on our profitability and results of operations. Inflation may also cause our customers to reduce or delay orders for our products and services, which could have a material adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We issued 6,071 shares of our common stock in the three months 2022 as performance incentive awards to employees. These shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 based on the conclusion that the awards would not be events of sale within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Act.

In March 2015 we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized us to purchase up to $2,000 of our common stock. The manner, timing and amount of repurchases are determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, and other factors and are subject to regulatory considerations. Purchases are made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

In the six months 2022 we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under our authorized repurchase program. The total dollar value of shares of our common stock that could be acquired under our authorized repurchase program was $1,033 as of June 30, 2022.
