        direct purchaser plaintiffs (which includes BD's distributors) in
        the antitrust class actions.
    (2) Represents the tax benefit relating to various tax settlements in

The preceding analysis (Table 1) of diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 identifies the specified items that affect comparability of results between periods. As illustrated, third quarter fiscal 2009 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations included a tax benefit of $20 million (8 cents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations) relating to various tax settlements in multiple jurisdictions. Excluding the tax benefit of 8 cents, third quarter fiscal 2009 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.30, representing an increase of 10 percent over diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.18 from the prior-year period. Reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included a 7-cents gain from our hedging program.

For the nine-month period, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.67 included the aforementioned tax benefit of 8 cents and the second quarter charge of 11 cents relating to a pending antitrust class action settlement. Excluding these specified items, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the nine-month period in fiscal year 2009 were $3.70, representing an increase of 12 percent over diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.31 from the prior-year period. Reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2009 included a 23-cents gain from our hedging program.

Home Healthcare Product Line Sold

In July 2009, the Company sold the assets associated with its Home Healthcare product line to 3M, including product inventory, brand names and manufacturing associated with ACE((R)), Tensor((R)), Bauer & Black((R) )and Tru-Fit((R)) products, and thermometers. Consequently, the results of operations of the Home Healthcare product line have been classified as discontinued operations for all quarters and years referred to in this release. Included in the attached financial tables are the Company's Consolidated Income Statements for the first two quarters of fiscal year 2009 and for all periods in fiscal year 2008, which reflect this classification change. The Company expects to record a gain on the sale of about 5 cents diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations in the fourth fiscal quarter.

Segment Results

In the BD Medical segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $969 million, representing a decrease of 3 percent from the prior year period. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of an estimated 8 percentage points, revenues increased 5 percent in the quarter due in part to sales of insulin delivery products, as well as safety-engineered and prefillable devices. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009 the BD Medical segment reported a 2 percent decrease in revenue growth. On a currency neutral basis, BD Medical revenues for the nine-month period increased by 3 percent.

In the BD Diagnostics segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $566 million, representing an increase of 2 percent from the prior year period. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of an estimated 6 percentage points, revenues increased 8 percent in the quarter. Sales of safety-engineered devices, cancer diagnostics products and infectious disease testing systems, including flu-related products, contributed to revenue growth. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009 the BD Diagnostics segment reported 2.5 percent revenue growth. On a currency neutral basis, BD Diagnostics revenues for the nine-month period increased by 6.5 percent.

In the BD Biosciences segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $285 million, representing a decrease of 4 percent from the prior year period. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of an estimated 3 percentage points, revenues decreased 1 percent in the quarter. Demand in the U.S. for capital equipment in the research and clinical segments continued to be impacted by funding constraints. International revenue growth moderated in the third quarter primarily due to lessening demand for instruments in Europe and Japan. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009 the BD Biosciences segment reported 3 percent revenue growth. On a currency neutral basis, BD Biosciences revenues for the nine-month period increased by 4 percent.

Geographic Results

Third quarter revenues in the U.S. were $805 million, representing an increase of 3 percent from the prior year period. Revenues outside of the U.S. were $1.015 billion, representing a decrease of 5 percent from the prior year period, and reflect an estimated 11 percentage points of unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, revenues in the U.S. were $2.365 billion, representing an increase of 2 percent from the prior year period. Revenues outside of the U.S. were $2.898 billion, representing a decrease of 1 percent from the prior year period, and reflect an estimated 8 percentage points of unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.

Fiscal 2009 Outlook for Full Year

The Company revised its guidance for full fiscal year 2009 reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to approximately 11 to 12 percent over diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $4.42 for the full fiscal year 2008. The Company's guidance for full fiscal year 2009 includes an approximate 28-cents gain from our hedging program as discussed on our April 28, 2009 second fiscal quarter conference call.

The following analysis of estimated diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the full fiscal year identifies specified items that affect the comparability of results between periods. As illustrated in Table 2, the Company expects that diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the full fiscal year 2009, excluding specified items, will be approximately $4.92 to $4.96, representing an increase of approximately 11 to 12 percent over diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $4.42 for the fiscal year 2008.
