- Excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales1, fourth-quarter sales decreased 1.4 percent on a reported basis and increased 5.4 percent on an organic basis.
- Excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales2 and U.S. infant formula sales that were impacted by manufacturing disruptions3, full-year 2022 sales increased 1.9 percent on a reported basis and 7.4 percent on an organic basis.
- GAAP diluted EPS was $0.59 in the fourth quarter. Excluding specified items, adjusted diluted EPS was $1.03.
- Abbott issues full-year 2023 guidance for diluted EPS from continuing operations on a GAAP basis of $3.05 to $3.25 and full-year adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $4.30 to $4.50.

- In October, Abbott's market-leading FreeStyle Libre® continuous glucose monitoring system was named the "Best Medical Technology" of the last 50 years by the Galien Foundation.
- In December, Abbott announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of its Eterna™ spinal cord stimulation system — the smallest implantable, rechargeable system currently available for the treatment of chronic pain.5
- In January, Abbott announced U.S. FDA approval of its minimally invasive Navitor™ transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for surgery.

Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "Our R&D pipeline continues to be highly productive with several recent and upcoming new product launches that position us well going forward."
FOURTH-QUARTER BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Note: Management believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the underlying performance of the business. Organic sales growth excludes the impact of foreign exchange. In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the prior year average foreign exchange rates. Management further believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis excluding COVID-19 tests is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the underlying performance of the business in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2022 as well as in 2023 as the COVID-19 pandemic shifts to an endemic state, resulting in significantly lower expected demand for COVID-19 tests.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales were flat on a reported basis and increased 7.4 percent on an organic basis in the fourth quarter. Sales growth in the U.S. was led by strong double-digit growth in Electrophysiology, Structural Heart and Diabetes Care. Internationally, sales growth was negatively impacted by intermittent COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in China as well as supply constraints in certain areas, including Electrophysiology and Diabetes Care.
In Diabetes Care, FreeStyle Libre sales were approximately $1.1 billion in the quarter, including U.S. growth of more than 40 percent.
In 2022, Abbott continued to strengthen its Medical Devices portfolio with several recent pipeline advancements, including U.S. FDA approvals of:
- Navitor, Abbott's latest-generation transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system, used for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.
- Eterna, Abbott's rechargeable spinal cord stimulator used for treating chronic pain.
- Aveir™ leadless pacemaker, used for treating patients with slow heart rhythms.
- An expanded indication of use for CardioMEMS™ HF remote monitoring system, which detects early warning signs of worsening heart failure.
- U.S. FDA clearance of the FreeStyle Libre 3 system, which provides continuous glucose readings and unsurpassed 14-day accuracy7 in the world's smallest and thinnest7 wearable sensor.

3 | U.S. sales of certain infant formula products impacted by the 2022 manufacturing disruptions were $202 million in 4Q22 and $329 million in 4Q21 and $479 million for the full-year 2022 and $1.229 billion for the full-year 2021. Excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales and U.S. infant formula sales that were impacted by manufacturing disruptions, fourth-quarter sales were flat on a reported basis and increased 7.1 percent on an organic basis. |
