4. The company's BMP line grew, but core spine was flat globally and declined slightly in the United States. The Interventional spine line declined as well globally.

5. Medtronic expects full-year revenue to grow 4 percent to 6 percent on a comparable, constant currency basis. The company expects diluted non-GAAP EPS in the range of $4.30 to $4.40.
