BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of
the management of the Company, include all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. However,
the financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required
for a presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included or
incorporated by reference in the Company's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Note 2 - Inventory Valuation
- ----------------------------
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the
end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management's estimates of
expected year-end inventory levels and costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
--------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
First quarter reported revenues of $554 million were slightly below the prior
year's revenues of $560 million. Revenues would have increased 3% after
excluding the estimated $23 million adverse impact of foreign currency
translation. In comparison with last year's first quarter double-digit growth
rate, which was the result of a strong surge in revenues related to new
products, the growth rate in the first quarter of 1994 was modest. The growth
rate of high volume Medical and Diagnostic products in the Company's core
businesses continued to be satisfactory. Medical Supplies and Devices segment
revenues of $296 million decreased 2% and Diagnostic Systems segment revenues of
$258 million decreased 1%, but would have increased an estimated 2% and 3.5%,
respectively, after excluding the adverse impact of foreign currency
translation.
Domestic Medical segment revenues were slightly above last year. Proposals for
health care reform in the United States do not appear to have affected the
growth rate of core products, including safety products recently introduced to
address the heightened concern for safety among health care workers.
International Medical segment revenues decreased 4%, but would have increased an
estimated 5% after excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency
translation.
Domestic Diagnostic segment revenues increased 2%. International Diagnostic
segment revenues decreased 4%, but would have increased an estimated 5% after
excluding the adverse impact of foreign currency translation. In comparison
with last year, revenue growth was adversely affected by the continuing economic
weakness in southern European countries, especially Italy and Spain, as well as
by the shipments of newly introduced instrumentation in the first quarter of
last year.
The gross profit margin of 43.5% was higher than last year's first quarter rate
of 43.1%. The mix of product revenues, as well as productivity improvements,
were the principal reasons for the improvement. Selling and administrative
expense was 28.4% of revenues, about the same as last year's first quarter ratio
of 28.3%. Reported expense of $157 million was slightly lower than last year,
reflecting a modest favorable impact from foreign currency translation, as well
as tight spending controls. Investment of $35 million in research and
development increased 6% over last year's first quarter expenditures. As a
percent of revenues, research and development expense was 6.3%, compared with
last year's 5.8%.
Operating income of $49 million was slightly below last year. After excluding
the negative effect of foreign currency translation, operating income would have
increased an estimated 8%, reflecting improved gross profit margin and the
successful implementation of spending controls.
Net interest expense of $11 million was $2 million lower than last year's first
quarter. Lower interest rates and lower debt levels more than offset a
reduction in capitalized interest.
Other expense, net of $4 million was $2 million favorable to last year, due to
lower charges related to foreign exchange transactions. The first quarter income
tax rate was 24%, compared with last year's first quarter rate of 23.3%.
-7-
Income before cumulative effect of accounting changes was $26 million compared
with $23 million last year, an increase of 10%. Net income was $26 million,
compared with a net loss of $118 million last year which included an after-tax
charge of $141 million, or $1.83 per share, representing the cumulative effect
of accounting changes adopted in 1993.
Earnings per share were $.33, an increase of 10% over last year's $.30 before
the cumulative effect of accounting changes. Foreign currency translation
decreased earnings per share by an estimated $.04. Without this adverse impact,
earnings per share would have increased 23%.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
During the first quarter of 1994, cash provided by operations was $115 million,
compared with $83 million during the first quarter of last year. Debt remained
basically unchanged during the first quarter of 1994. The percentage of debt to
capitalization (defined as the sum of shareholders' equity, net non-current
deferred income tax liabilities, and debt) was 38.7%, lower than 39.2% a year
ago. Last year's ratio has been restated to reflect the cumulative effect of
accounting changes adopted in fiscal 1993 retroactive to October 1, 1992.
Capital expenditures for the quarter were $30 million compared with $40 million
during the first quarter of last year. For the full year, capital expenditures
are expected to be more than 15% lower than last year's $184 million.
Because of its strong credit ratings, the Company believes it has the capacity
to arrange significant additional borrowings should the need arise.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of
its common stock at an average cost of $36.48. At December 31, 1993,
authorization from the Board of Directors remained to acquire an additional 3.5
million shares.
At its November 1993 meeting, the Board of Directors increased the Company's
quarterly dividend from $.165 to $.185 per common share.
