“We made good progress during 2022 and ended the year in a stronger position than we started. We continued to outperform in sports medicine and [ear, nose and throat] and advanced wound management and, even though we are early in our work to fix orthopedics, performance improved here too,” Deepak Nath, CEO of Smith & Nephew, said in the release. “We will continue to face macroeconomic headwinds in 2023. However, I believe the drivers of further growth are in place, including leading technologies across all three franchises and a clear path to improved execution in orthopedics. We expect to deliver both faster revenue growth and margin expansion in the coming year and are setting a solid foundation for our midterm ambitions as we transform to a consistently higher growth company,” Nath added.
