  • The company successfully reduced the adjusted total cost of products sold by over 350 basis points, enhancing profitability.

Negative
  • Net sales for the first quarter decreased by 5.2% in reported rates and 4.1% in constant currency, indicating a decline in top-line performance.
  • The US market saw a 2.8% decline in net sales, driven by lower implant sales and the impact of one less selling day.
