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 September 30, 2022 and the results of operations for the three and nine 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.

In September 2022 the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs: Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires entities that utilize supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose information about the key terms of the programs, a rollforward of the obligations under the programs and where those obligations are presented in the balance sheet. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements.

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 September 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 $661 and $529 on September 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 September 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 September 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.

In the nine months 2022 we settled certain foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges resulting in cash proceeds of $197. The amounts in AOCI related to settled net investment hedges will remain in AOCI until the hedged investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

On September 30, 2022 the total after tax gain (loss) in AOCI related to designated net investment hedges was $603.

Pretax gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $50 and net investment hedges of $34 recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to cost of sales and other income (expense), net in earnings within 12 months as of September 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 September 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.

During the three months 2022 we determined that certain commercial and regulatory milestones related to technology acquired in the purchase of Mobius Imaging and Cardan Robotics were no longer probable of being achieved and recorded a $110 reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses.

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

On September 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 $26 and $15 in the three months and $61 and $50 in the nine 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

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

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. 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.

With the acquisition of Wright Medical Group N.V. (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.

We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, costs associated with the defense and settlement of these matters. For the nine months 2022 we have recorded charges of $14 primarily related to Wright hip products and made payments of $26 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 $375 to $510. 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 $267 in the nine 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.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates were 0.0% and 6.6% in the three and nine months 2022. In the three months 2022 income tax expense decreased $162 due to the effective settlement of the United States federal income tax audit for years 2014 through 2018. In addition, other income (expense), net includes a benefit of $50 related to the release of accrued interest associated with this settlement. The nine months 2022 additionally include the reversal of deferred income tax on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries no longer determined to be indefinitely reinvested. Our effective tax rates of 11.5% and 12.6% in the three and nine months 2021 include certain discrete tax items.

NOTE 11 - ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

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.

As a result of the outcome of certain regional programs for our trauma products and the national VBP program for hips and knees we recorded charges of $105 to impair certain long-lived and intangible assets in the third quarter of 2021. These charges were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The national VBP program for spine products took place in the third quarter of 2022 and we were unsuccessful in our bid. As a result we are exiting the spine business in China. Asset impairments recorded in the three months 2022 were not significant. Our total business in China represented approximately 2.5% of our revenues for the nine months 2022.
