* Reports third-quarter earnings per share from continuing operations of 95 cents, an increase of 14% from the prior year's quarter
* Raises guidance for full fiscal year 2007 earnings per share from continuing operations to $3.81 to $3.83 from $3.76 to $3.80, excluding specified items
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX) today reported record quarterly revenues of $1.631 billion for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 12 percent over the prior year period. This quarter's growth rate reflects the favorable impact on all segments from foreign currency translation, which overall is estimated to account for 3 percentage points of the increase in quarterly revenues.
"We are pleased with our strong results this quarter, with each of our three segments contributing to our growth," said Edward J. Ludwig, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The combination of solid revenue growth and continued margin improvement is allowing us to increase our investment in innovation while at the same time driving double-digit increases in earnings. These results, along with our expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2007, have enabled us to once again increase our earnings outlook for the year."
