BD Announces Results for First Fiscal Quarter
- First-quarter earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified item, increased 12% to 96 cents
- Raises guidance for full fiscal year 2007 earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified item, to a range of $3.71 to $3.77
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX) today reported record quarterly revenues of $1.502 billion for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 8 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 2 percentage points of the growth.
"We are pleased with our strong start to fiscal 2007," said Edward J. Ludwig, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Increased sales of safety-engineered devices, prefillable drug delivery devices, and Biosciences products demonstrate the breadth of our growth drivers. Higher margin products and increased operating effectiveness continued to expand our operating profit margin. This performance has enabled us to increase the pace of our R&D spending while delivering double-digit earnings growth."
TriPath Imaging Acquisition Completed
On December 20, 2006, BD completed its acquisition of TriPath Imaging, a maker of innovative solutions to improve the clinical management of cancer. The Company recorded an in-process research and development charge of $115 million associated with the acquisition, which reduced diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by 45 cents in the first quarter (see Table 1 below).
BGM Product Line Sold
Following the receipt of an unsolicited offer during the quarter, the Company sold the blood glucose monitoring (BGM) product line for $20 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $15 million. Consequently, the results of operations of the BGM 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 fiscal year 2006, which reflect this classification change.
Analysis of First Quarter Fiscal Year 2007 and 2006 Earnings
Reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was 51 cents for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which included the in-process research and development charge of 45 cents related to the TriPath acquisition. The following analysis of diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 identifies specified items that affect comparability of results between periods. As illustrated in Table 1, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified item, for the first fiscal quarter of 2007 of 96 cents increased by 12 percent over diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified items, of 86 cents for the first fiscal quarter of 2006.

Segment Results
In the BD Medical segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $826 million, representing an increase of 10 percent over the prior year period. Strong sales of Pharmaceutical Systems products and safety-engineered devices contributed to growth.
In the BD Diagnostics segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $442 million, representing an increase of 2 percent over the prior year period. The Preanalytical Systems unit of the segment reported revenue growth of 8 percent due to strong sales of safety-engineered devices. Revenues in the Diagnostic Systems unit of the segment decreased 5 percent. The decline in sales of flu diagnostics tests, as compared to strong sales in the prior year period, more than offset double-digit growth from the BD ProbeTec(TM) ET and BD Phoenix(TM) instruments.
In the BD Biosciences segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $233 million, representing an increase of 11 percent over the prior year period. Research instruments and reagent sales continued to be the primary growth contributors, driven by increased demand for research analyzers and clinical reagents.
Geographic Results
First quarter revenues in the U.S. were $721 million, representing an increase of 9 percent over the prior year period. Revenues outside the U.S. were $781 million, representing an increase of 7 percent over the prior year period, and reflect an estimated 4 percent favorable impact from foreign currency translation.

As illustrated in Table 2, the Company estimates that diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified item, for the full fiscal year 2007 will be in the $3.71 to $3.77 range, representing an increase of approximately 11 to 13 percent over diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified items, of $3.34 for the fiscal year 2006.
