Healy Vice President Date: July 20, 2000 - 2 - INDEX TO EXHIBITS ----------------- Exhibit Number Description of Exhibits ------ ----------------------- 99 Press Release issued on July 20, 2000 EX-99 2 0002.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 20, 2000 Exhibit 99 Refer to: Ronald Jasper Director, Investor Relations (201) 847-7160 BD ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THIRD FISCAL QUARTER SAFETY AND BIOSCIENCES SALES ADD TO TOP LINE GROWTH Franklin Lakes, NJ (July 20, 2000) - BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE:BDX) announced today diluted earnings per share of $.43 for its third fiscal quarter which ended June 30, 2000. Earnings per share included a gain on the sale of an equity investment offset, in part, by charges related to the acquisition of in-process research and development and the write-down of an asset held for sale. The net favorable impact of these items was $.03. Foreign currency translation reduced the quarter's earnings by an estimated $.03 primarily as a result of the weak Euro versus a year ago. Excluding the gain and charges noted above, earnings per share for the third quarter were $.40, or $.43 on a foreign currency neutral basis ("FX-neutral"). Third quarter 1999 earnings per share were $.12, or $.38 after excluding the effects of special and other charges, as described in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10K. Reported revenues for the quarter were $914 million, an increase of 5 percent over last year, or 8 percent on an FX-neutral basis. -2- Edward J. Ludwig, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Top line growth was led by revenues from our advanced protection (safety-engineered) devices and sales contributions from recent Biosciences segment acquisitions. Customer conversions to advanced protection devices continue to accelerate based on recently updated Federal OSHA regulations and legislation enacted in a growing number of key states. In Biosciences, the recent acquisition of Clontech Laboratories, Inc. is contributing significantly to the growth of our flow cytometry sales. We remain committed to building these franchises and delivering results consistent with our expectations." By business segment, Medical Systems segment revenues grew 7 percent for the quarter on an FX-neutral basis to $512 million, led by sales of advanced protection devices and pre-fillable syringes which continue to show strong growth. Preanalytical Solutions segment revenues grew 3 percent for the quarter on an FX-neutral basis to $133 million. Shifts in inventory levels by a key distributor during the quarter resulted in lower reported Preanalytical Solutions sales. End-user demand for Preanalytical Solutions products remains strong, led by sales of advanced protection devices. Preanalytical Solution sales are expected to return, on an FX-neutral basis, to approximately 10 percent in the fourth quarter. Biosciences segment revenues of $269 million grew 12 percent for the quarter on an FX-neutral basis, which reflects sales from the Clontech acquisition in late 1999. -3- By geographic area, revenues inside the United States were $481 million, 7 percent higher than a year earlier, while revenues outside the United States grew 8 percent, FX-neutral, to $433 million. Strong growth was experienced in Latin America and Asia. Nine-Month Results ------------------ For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2000, revenues were $2.698 billion, a 7 percent increase over $2.516 billion a year ago. Excluding the unfavorable foreign currency translation that reduced revenues by an estimated $53 million for the nine-month period, revenues grew 9 percent over the prior year. Medical Systems revenues for the nine-month period were $1.464 billion, Preanalytical Solutions revenues totaled $404 million, and Biosciences revenues were $830 million. * * * This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements (as defined under Federal securities laws) regarding the Company's performance, including future revenues, products and income, or events or developments that the Company expects to occur or anticipates occurring in the future.
