"We had an excellent start to 2018 with strong organic sales growth, operating margin and adjusted EPS in the first quarter," said Kevin A. Lobo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our balanced results across businesses and regions position us well for continued positive momentum, as evidenced by our raised guidance."
Sales Analysis (percentages exclude ASC 606(1) adoption impact)
Consolidated net sales of $3.2 billion increased 10.7% in the quarter and 8.2% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 7.0% in the quarter including 8.6% from increased unit volume partially offset by 1.6% from lower prices.
Orthopaedics net sales of $1.2 billion increased 7.7% in the quarter and 4.7% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 4.7% in the quarter including 6.9% from increased unit volume partially offset by 2.2% from lower prices.
MedSurg net sales of $1.4 billion increased 11.1% in the quarter and 9.1% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 7.8% in the quarter including 8.3% from increased unit volume partially offset by 0.5% from lower prices.
Neurotechnology and Spine net sales of $0.6 billion increased 16.7% in the quarter and 13.5% in constant currency. Organic net sales increased 10.1% in the quarter including 13.1% from increased unit volume partially offset by 3.0% from lower prices.
Earnings Analysis
Reported net earnings of $443 million decreased 0.2% in the quarter. Reported net earnings per diluted share of $1.16 decreased 0.9% in the quarter. Reported net earnings include certain items, including charges for the amortization of purchased intangible assets, other acquisition and integration-related charges, restructuring-related and other charges, Rejuvenate and other recall-related matters, regulatory and legal matters, tax matters and certain other charges. The effect of each of these matters on reported net earnings and net earnings per diluted share appears in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Excluding the aforementioned items increases gross profit margin from 65.9% to 66.3% in the quarter and increases operating income margin from 18.2% to 25.0%(2), including a 20 basis point favorable impact related to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard(1). Excluding the impact of the items described above, adjusted net earnings(4) of $638 million increased 13.9% in the quarter. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share(3) of $1.68 increased 13.5% in the quarter.
2018 Outlook
Based on our year-to-date performance, we now expect 2018 organic net sales growth, which excludes the impact related to adoption of the new revenue recognition standard(1), to be in the range of 6.5% to 7.0% and expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share(5) to be in the range of $7.18 to $7.25. In 2018 our calculation of organic net sales growth excludes the impact of adopting ASC 606(1), which includes primarily the reclassification of costs previously reported within selling expenses to a reduction of sales, which for 2017 was approximately $112 million ($28 million per quarter). For the second quarter we expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.70 to $1.75. If foreign currency exchange rates hold near current levels, we expect net sales in the second quarter and full year will be positively impacted by approximately 2.3% and net earnings per diluted share will be positively impacted by approximately $0.02 in the second quarter and $0.08 in the full year.
(1) Consistent with previous press releases and financial disclosures, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, as well as related amendments (ASC 606), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on a modified retrospective basis, effective January 1, 2018. The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 related primarily to the reclassification of certain costs previously presented as selling, general and administrative expenses to net sales.
(2) A reconciliation of operating income to adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information accompanies this press release.
(3) A reconciliation of reported net earnings per diluted share to adjusted net earnings per diluted share, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information accompanies this press release.
(4) A reconciliation of reported net earnings to adjusted net earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, and other important information accompanies this press release.
(5) A reconciliation of expected net earnings per diluted share to expected adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter and full year and other important information accompanies this press release.

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 excluding the impact of the adoption of ASC 606; percentage sales growth in constant currency; percentage sales growth in constant currency and excluding the impact of the adoption of ASC 606; percentage organic sales growth; adjusted gross profit; cost of sales excluding specified items; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings; and adjusted net earnings per diluted share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and 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 and prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rate. To measure percentage organic sales growth, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, which 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, effective income tax rate, net earnings and net earnings per diluted 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 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:
