The company reported $213 million in net earnings this past quarter, compared to $325 million in 2012. The drop was due largely to a $170 million charge from the voluntary recalls of the Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stems.
Net sales reached $2.2 billion, up from $2.1 billion last year. Sales from spine and neurotechnology devices increased 5.4 percent from $393 million to $414 million.
