BD Announces Record $1 Billion Second Quarter Revenues


Franklin Lakes, NJ (April 24, 2002) -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX) today reported record quarterly revenues of $1.013 billion for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2002, an increase of 7 percent from the same period a year ago. At constant foreign exchange rates, revenues increased 9 percent.

"Achieving quarterly revenues of over $1 billion for the first time in the Company's history marks an important milestone for us. Our continuing revenue growth is being led by safety-engineered products, prefillable drug delivery devices and BD Biosciences products," said Edward J. Ludwig, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The results for the quarter reflect the Company's ability to deliver revenue and earnings growth in line with the commitments we have made to our shareholders."

Diluted earnings per share were 48 cents for the second quarter, or 50 cents excluding the impact of a special charge of 2 cents per share for severance and asset impairment costs associated with a previously-announced manufacturing restructuring in the BD Medical Systems segment.

Q2 Segment Results

In the BD Medical Systems segment, worldwide revenues of $530 million increased 6 percent. Included in BD Medical Systems revenues were U.S. safety-engineered product sales of $85 million, versus $58 million in the prior year's quarter. Also contributing to the growth of the segment were sales of prefillable drug delivery devices, which grew 15 percent. The overall growth rate in the segment was offset in part by reduced sales of conventional devices in the U.S. due to the transition to safety-engineered devices, and, as anticipated, by essentially flat sales in the Consumer Health Care portion of the segment, due in part to the effect of the redirection of promotional efforts in the U.S. toward branded diabetes syringe sales at the retail level.

In the BD Clinical Laboratory Solutions segment, worldwide revenues increased 7 percent to $318 million. Revenue growth of 3 percent in the Preanalytical Solutions portion of the segment was attributable primarily to U.S. safety-engineered device sales, which were $50 million, versus $38 million in the prior year's quarter. These results were partly offset by reduced sales of conventional devices due, in large part, to the transition to safety-engineered devices. The revenue growth rate of Preanalytical Solutions also was adversely impacted by a voluntary recall of specific lots of the BD Vacutainer™ Safety-Lok™ blood collection set product. Revenue growth for the year for Preanalytical Solutions is not expected to be significantly impacted by this recall.

BD Clinical Laboratory Solutions segment growth also reflected an increase of 10 percent in worldwide sales of the Diagnostic Systems portion of the segment. This growth was due in part to increased sales of its molecular diagnostic platform, BD ProbeTec ET™, and to strong sales of respiratory and flu diagnostic tests compared to last year's quarter. In addition, U.S. Diagnostic Systems sales benefited from an anticipated inventory stocking by distributors in advance of the installation by Diagnostic Systems of a new enterprise resource planning system.

In the BD Biosciences segment, worldwide revenues grew 7 percent to $165 million. Revenue growth was driven primarily by strong flow cytometry instrument and immunology reagent revenues, and was offset in part by continued weaker demand for certain molecular biology products, as well as by essentially flat revenues in the U.S. Discovery Labware portion of the segment.

Q2 Geographic Results

On a geographic basis, second quarter revenues in the U.S. increased 9 percent to

$551 million. Revenues outside the U.S. of $462 million grew 3 percent, which were adversely affected by the Euro, Japanese Yen and Brazilian Real. At constant foreign exchange rates, revenues outside the U.S. grew 9 percent.

Six-month Results

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2002, reported revenues were $1.958 billion, an 8 percent increase over a year ago, or 9 percent at constant foreign exchange rates. Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period were 85 cents, or 87 cents excluding the special charge relating to the manufacturing restructuring, and reflect an approximate 5 cent benefit from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." For the same period in fiscal 2001, diluted earnings per share were 70 cents, before the cumulative effect of an accounting change.

Restructuring and Divestitures

In connection with the manufacturing restructuring, the Company recorded a special charge of $10 million, or 2 cents per share, in the second quarter, and expects to record an additional special charge of approximately $12 million, or 4 cents per share, in the third quarter. Ongoing operating results will include other manufacturing restructuring costs to be recorded to cost of products sold, which the Company currently estimates to be one cent per share in each of the third and fourth quarters.

As previously announced, on April 8, 2002 the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with AorTech International plc ("AorTech") to sell the Company's Critical Care product line for approximately $52 million. Approximately one-half of the purchase price is expected to be paid over 30 months following the date of closing, and is subject to adjustments based on future sales results. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 and for the six months ended March 31, 2002, the Critical Care product line generated sales of approximately $47 million and $23 million. The Company estimates that fiscal 2002 diluted earnings per share would have been impacted by less than one cent, excluding the estimated loss on potential sale discussed below, assuming this divestiture had been completed as of October 1, 2001.

The transaction is subject to the execution of a definitive purchase agreement and the approval of AorTech's Board of Directors and shareholders, as well as of the Company's Board of Directors, all of which are expected to occur in the second half of the Company's fiscal year. In connection with the occurrence of these events, the Company expects to record a substantially non-cash loss on sale, which it presently estimates could be in the range of $25 to $30 million, or approximately 6 to 7 cents per share. The Company presently expects the transaction to close prior to the end of fiscal 2002.

Additionally, the Company continues to consider the divestiture of certain non-strategic product lines with combined revenues of less than $150 million, however, it does not anticipate that a transaction will be concluded during fiscal 2002.

Fiscal 2002 Outlook

The Company expects diluted earnings per share to be approximately $1.88 for fiscal 2002 and approximately 48 cents for the third quarter and 53 cents for the fourth quarter, excluding the special charges and loss on the potential sale of the Critical Care product line. The following table analyzes the estimated reported earnings per share for fiscal 2002:

Reported Q1 ReportedQ2 EstimatedQ3 EstimatedQ4 EstimatedFY02
Diluted EPS before manufacturing restructuring and loss on potential sale of Critical Care product line (A) $0.37 $0.50 $0.49 $0.54 $1.90

BECTON DICKINSON AND COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended March 31, 2002

   Fiscal 2002 revenues included hedging costs of approximately $2.3
million for the second quarter and $3.9 million for the six months.
These costs related to BD's purchased option contracts to hedge a
portion of its anticipated sales from the United States to non-U.S.
customers. In fiscal 2001, similar hedging costs of approximately $2.2
million for the second quarter and $8.1 million for the six months
were recorded in Other Expense under previous accounting guidance.
These amounts have been reclassed to revenues. Also included in
revenues were gains on purchased option and forward contracts recorded
in revenues in the fiscal 2002 of approximately $2.0 million for the
second quarter and $3.2 million for the six months, compared with $2.0
million and $4.1 million, respectively, in fiscal 2001.

   BD adopted the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements," (SAB 101) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001,
retroactive to October 1, 2000. Prior year amounts have been restated
to reflect this adoption. A complete discussion of this accounting
change can be found in BD's 2001 annual report on Form 10-K.

   Effective October 1, 2001, BD adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which, among other
things, eliminates the requirement to amortize goodwill and certain
other intangible assets. The Company currently estimates the full year
impact to earnings per share to be approximately 10 cents or 2.5 cents
per quarter.

                                                                Page 3
