Worldwide Pediatric Nutrition sales increased 6.6 percent on a reported basis in the third quarter, including an unfavorable 1.9 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 8.5 percent on an organic basis. International pediatric sales increased 7.4 percent on a reported basis, including an unfavorable 3.5 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 10.9 percent on an organic basis. Strong performance in the quarter was led by above-market growth in the U.S. and double-digit growth in both Asia and Latin America.
Worldwide Adult Nutrition sales increased 0.8 percent on a reported basis in the third quarter, including an unfavorable 2.4 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 3.2 percent on an organic basis. International adult sales increased 2.9 percent on a reported basis, including an unfavorable 4.2 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 7.1 percent on an organic basis. Sales performance was led by strong growth of Ensure®, Abbott's market-leading complete and balanced nutrition brand, and Glucerna®, Abbott's market-leading diabetes-specific nutrition brand. U.S. sales were negatively impacted by Abbott's wind down of a non-core product line.

Established Pharmaceuticals sales decreased 0.9 percent on a reported basis in the third quarter, including an unfavorable 6.8 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 5.9 percent on an organic basis. As expected, sales growth in the quarter was negatively impacted by a comparison versus the third-quarter 2017, when sales were higher than normal due to channel restocking across the market after implementation of a new tax system in India.
Key Emerging Markets include India, Brazil, Russia and China along with several additional emerging countries that represent the most attractive long-term growth opportunities for Abbott's branded generics product portfolio. Sales in these geographies decreased 2.1 percent on a reported basis in the third quarter, including an unfavorable 8.9 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 6.8 percent on an organic basis. Sales growth was led by double-digit growth in China and Russia. Excluding the negative impact from prior year purchasing patterns associated with the implementation of a new tax system in India, Abbott's Key Emerging Markets sales would have increased high-single digits on an organic basis in the third quarter.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales increased 8.4 percent on a reported basis in the third quarter. On an organic basis, sales increased 9.8 percent. Refer to table titled "Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Adjusted Historical Revenue" for a reconciliation of adjusted historical revenue.
In Electrophysiology, growth was led by strong performance in cardiac mapping and ablation catheters as well as strong growth of Abbott's Confirm RxTM Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM), the world's first and only smartphone-compatible ICM designed to help physicians remotely identify cardiac arrhythmias.
Growth in Structural Heart was driven by several product areas across Abbott's broad portfolio, including AMPLATZERTM PFO Occluder, a device designed to close a hole-like opening in the heart, and MitraClip, Abbott's market-leading device for the minimally invasive treatment of mitral regurgitation, a leaky heart valve. In September, Abbott announced positive clinical results from its landmark COAPT study, which demonstrated that MitraClip improved survival and clinical outcomes for select patients with functional mitral regurgitation. The COAPT study data will be submitted to the U.S. FDA to support consideration of an expanded indication for MitraClip.
In Diabetes Care, sales increased 37.4 percent on a reported basis and 39.8 percent on an organic basis, led by rapid market uptake of FreeStyle Libre, Abbott's revolutionary sensor-based continuous glucose monitoring system, which removes the need for routine fingersticks1 for people with diabetes. During the quarter, Abbott received U.S. FDA approval of its FreeStyle Libre 14 day sensor, the longest lasting glucose wearable sensor available. In October, Abbott obtained CE Mark for its FreeStyle Libre 2 system, a next-generation product offering optional real-time alarms.
ABBOTT'S FULL-YEAR EARNINGS-PER-SHARE GUIDANCE
Abbott is narrowing its 2018 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to $1.33 to $1.35.
Abbott forecasts net specified items for the full year 2018 of approximately $1.54 per share. Specified items include intangible amortization expense, acquisition-related expenses, charges associated with cost reduction initiatives and other expenses.
Excluding specified items, projected adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations would be $2.87 to $2.89 for the full year 2018.
Abbott is issuing fourth-quarter 2018 guidance for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations under GAAP of $0.39 to $0.41. Abbott forecasts specified items for the fourth quarter 2018 of $0.41 primarily related to intangible amortization, acquisition-related expenses, cost reduction initiatives and other expenses. Excluding specified items, projected adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations would be $0.80 to $0.82 for the fourth quarter.
ABBOTT DECLARES 379TH CONSECUTIVE QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
