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
- - ---------------------
Third Quarter 1994 vs. Third Quarter 1993
- - -----------------------------------------
Third quarter revenues of $653 million exceeded the prior year's revenues of
$625 million by 4%. Revenues would have increased 6% after excluding the
estimated $8 million adverse impact of foreign currency translation. Orders for
high volume Medical and Diagnostic products in the Company's core businesses in
the United States and International markets continued to result in good growth
rates, confirming that there does not seem to be an adverse effect from the
uncertainty about health care reform. The growth in core businesses continued
to be driven by product offerings which provide greater value and safety for our
customers. Medical Supplies and Devices segment revenues of $366 million and
Diagnostic Systems segment revenues of $287 million each increased 4%, but would
have increased 6% and 5%, respectively, after excluding the estimated adverse
impact of foreign currency translation.
Domestic Medical segment revenues increased 6%. International Medical segment
revenues increased 3%, but would have increased 6% after excluding the estimated
$5 million adverse impact of foreign currency translation. These growth rates
continued to reflect strong sales of safety products and of diabetic and
prefillable syringes.
Domestic Diagnostic segment revenues increased 6%. International Diagnostic
segment revenues increased 3%, or 5% after excluding the estimated adverse
impact of foreign currency translation. Revenue growth was adversely affected
by the continuing economic weakness in European countries, especially Italy and
Spain, and a general tightening of research funding in the U.S. market. Good
growth rates were experienced in Latin America and Asia Pacific.
The gross profit margin of 45.2% improved from last year's third quarter rate of
44.7%. Productivity improvements and the mix of products sold were the
principal reasons for the improvement. Selling and administrative expense was
25.3% of revenues, more than a full percentage point better than last year's
third quarter ratio of 26.6%, reflecting tight spending controls and cost
reduction programs. Expense of $165 million was slightly less than last year's
third quarter expense. Investment of $35 million in research and development
was the same as last year's third quarter expenditure. As a percent of
revenues, research and development expense was 5.4%, slightly lower than last
year's third quarter rate of 5.6%.
Operating income of $95 million increased 21% from last year's third quarter
amount of $78 million despite the adverse effect of a stronger dollar and the
effect of a retirement enhancement program charge of $4.5 million in the third
quarter which was recorded primarily in cost of products sold and selling and
administrative expense. Operating margin improved from 12.5% in the third
quarter last year to 14.5% in the current quarter.
Net interest expense of $13 million was approximately $2 million less than last
year's third quarter, principally due to lower interest rates.
-7-
Other (expense) income, net was $10 million unfavorable compared with last
year's third quarter. The change is principally due to the absence of dividend
income and a capital gain of almost $7 million recorded in last year's third
quarter in connection with the Company's disposition of its shares of stock in
The Perkin-Elmer Corporation. In addition, higher charges related to foreign
exchange in the current quarter resulted in an unfavorable comparison of $2
million.
The income tax rate of 26.4%, compared with last year's third quarter rate of
19.0%, resulted from the change in projected mix of income from the various tax
rate jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Earnings per share were $.78, an increase of 8% over last year's $.72 which
included a gain of $.07 related to the Perkin-Elmer transaction. Foreign
currency translation decreased earnings per share by an estimated $.02.
Nine Months 1994 vs. Nine Months 1993
- - -------------------------------------
Reported revenues of $1.842 billion exceeded the prior year level of $1.798
billion by 2%. Revenues would have increased 5% without the estimated adverse
impact of foreign currency translation. Medical Supplies and Devices segment
revenues increased 3% to $1.014 billion. Diagnostic Systems segment revenues
were $828 million, an increase of 2%. Geographically, domestic revenues
increased 3% to $1.025 billion and international revenues increased 1% to $816
million, but would have increased 6% after excluding the estimated adverse
impact of foreign currency translation.
The gross profit margin of 45.0% improved from 44.1% in 1993. Selling and
administrative expense was 26.4% of revenues, lower than last year's rate of
27.1%, reflecting effective spending controls and cost reduction programs.
Investment of $106 million in research and development expense increased 4% over
last year's expenditures. As a percent of revenues, research and development
expense was 5.7%, the same as last year's rate.
Operating income of $237 million increased $34 million over last year. As a
percent of revenues, operating income was 12.9% compared with last year's 11.3%,
resulting from productivity improvements in both manufacturing and operating
expenses.
Other (expense) income, net was $20 million unfavorable compared with last year.
The change is principally due to the absence of an $11 million capital gain
recorded last year in connection with the Perkin-Elmer transaction, as well as
the Company's share of earnings of Applied Biosystems, Inc. prior to its merger
with The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, in the amount of $1 million, and other
miscellaneous income.
The income tax rate of 25.0%, compared with last year's rate of 19.8%, resulted
from the change in projected mix of income from the various tax rate
jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Income before the cumulative effect of accounting changes was $141 million
compared with $136 million last year, an increase of 3%. Net income was $141
million, compared with a net loss of $5 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.
-8-
Earnings per share were $1.87, an increase of 8% over last year's $1.73 before
the cumulative effect of accounting changes. The prior year's amount included a
gain of $.11 related to the Perkin-Elmer transaction. Foreign currency
translation decreased earnings per share by an estimated $.09.
Financial Condition
- - -------------------
During the first nine months of 1994, cash provided by operations was $335
million, compared with $241 million during the first nine months of last year.
Debt decreased $31 million during the first nine months 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 36.8%, lower than 37.6% 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 nine months were $88 million compared with $129
million during the first nine months of last year. For the full year, capital
expenditures are expected to be less than $140 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 nine months of 1994, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares
of its common stock at an average cost of approximately $37.00 per share. At
June 30, 1994, authorization from the Board of Directors remained outstanding to
acquire an additional 1.7 million shares.
