Cornelius, chairman and chief executive officer, Bristol-Myers Squibb. “We are also taking steps now to manage through future exclusivity losses. Our improvement initiatives are enabling us to better manage our costs and work more efficiently.

“We are selecting the best of biotech and the best of the pharmaceutical industry and combining these traits into a model which will position us as a next-generation BioPharma leader.

EXPANSION OF PRODUCTIVITY – ADDITIONAL $1 BILLION BY 2012

In December 2007, the company announced a $1.5 billion productivity transformation initiative (PTI) to be completed by 2010. The company is well on track to achieve this goal as underlined by its current margin performance. At the time this initiative was announced, the company indicated this was the first step to achieve a culture focused on continuous improvement.

“As part of the plan to maximize our growth opportunities through 2011 and improve our earnings base in 2012-2013, we have initiated an expansion of our productivity initiatives which will result in an additional $1 billion of cost savings by 2012,” said Jean-Marc Huet, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We have commissioned several internal teams to execute against some already identified projects. We will provide additional information on this second wave of productivity initiatives and its costs by year-end.

“While managing our cost base is critical, it is only one part of our strategy as we transition to a next-generation BioPharma company. We continue to invest to improve the growth of our marketed products and strengthen our pipeline. We are confident that we can deliver on our commitments and improve our base business in 2012-2013.”

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

• Bristol-Myers Squibb posted second quarter 2008 net sales from continuing operations of $5.2 billion, an increase of 16%, including a 5% favorable foreign exchange impact, compared to the same period in 2007. Pharmaceutical net sales totaled $4.5 billion and sales of Nutritionals totaled $728 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing increases of 16% and 17%, respectively, compared to 2007.

• U.S. pharmaceutical net sales increased 17% to $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to increased sales of PLAVIX^®, the continued growth of ABILIFY^® , strong results from the HIV and hepatitis portfolio and increasing contribution of recent launches of products such as ORENCIA^® and IXEMPRA^™.

• International pharmaceutical net sales increased 15%, including a 12% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of BARACLUDE^® and increased contributions from ABILIFY^®, SPRYCEL^™ and the HIV portfolio. The company’s reported international net sales do not include copromotion sales reported by its alliance partner, sanofi-aventis, for PLAVIX^® and AVAPRO^®/AVALIDE^®, which continue to show growth in the second quarter of 2008.

2

• Cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 32.1% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 31.5% in the same period in 2007. This increase of 0.6% was driven by higher manufacturing rationalization charges in 2008 related to the implementation of the PTI which accounted for a 0.8% increase, partially offset by manufacturing cost improvements from previously implemented initiatives.

• Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased by 6%, including an unfavorable 5% foreign exchange impact, to $1,165 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to implementation costs associated with the PTI.

• Advertising and product promotion spending increased by 19%, including an unfavorable 5% foreign exchange impact, to $420 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to increased investment in ABILIFY^® and ORENCIA^®.

• Research and development expenses increased 9%, including an unfavorable 2% foreign exchange impact, to $826 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $755 million in the same period in 2007. The increase primarily reflects higher development spending for pipeline compounds as well as higher upfront and milestone payments in 2008.

• Acquired in-process research and development charge of $32 million in the second quarter of 2008 relates to the acquisition of Kosan Biosciences, Inc.

• The company recorded earnings from continuing operations before minority interest and income taxes of $1,221 million in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 24% compared to $985 million in the same period in 2007. The increase was driven by strong product performance in the pharmaceutical business as well as cost containment and productivity initiatives.

• The effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before minority interest and income taxes was 21.1% for the second quarter of 2008, compared with 20.6% in the second quarter of 2007. The second quarter 2008 effective tax rate includes the favorable impact related to the resolution of a tax audit from prior years. The Company expects the full year 2008 non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations to be in line with the previously issued guidance of approximately 24%.

3

• On a GAAP basis, the company reported second quarter 2008 net earnings from continuing operations of $722 million or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $588 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2007. This represents growth of 23% for net earnings and 20% for EPS from continuing operations. The 2008 operating results include charges of $109 million associated with the implementation of the previously announced PTI as well as a favorable resolution of a tax audit from prior years. On a non-GAAP basis excluding specified items, second quarter 2008 net earnings from continuing operations were $861 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $608 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the same period in 2007. This represents non-GAAP growth of 42% for net earnings and 39% for EPS from continuing operations.

• The company continues to focus on being efficient with its use of cash. Cash flow from operations totaled $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2008. Also, net debt decreased by $386 million between the end of the first quarter and end of the second quarter of 2008.

PIPELINE AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Bristol-Myers Squibb and its partner AstraZeneca announced on July 23 that the regulatory submissions for ONGLYZA (saxagliptin) were made in both the United States and in Europe on June 30 and July 1, respectively. The concurrent European filing further demonstrates the company’s commitment to rapidly bring forward new medicines for serious unmet medical needs like type II diabetes.

Bristol-Myers Squibb is focusing on supplementing its internal research and development portfolio with strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In May, the company entered into an agreement with KAI Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize KAI’s novel acute heart attack medicine, KAI-9803. In June, Bristol-Myers Squibb completed the acquisition of Kosan Biosciences, Inc., a cancer therapeutics company with a library of novel compounds including Hsp90 inhibitors for cancer and microtubule stabilizers, which may have additional potential in neurodegenerative diseases.

The following regulatory and data milestones occurred in the second quarter:

• In July, approval of ERBITUX^® in Japan for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

• At the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), a landmark phase III study (FLEX) showed that the addition of ERBITUX^® to platinum-based chemotherapy significantly increased overall survival in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, when compared to platinum-based chemotherapy alone.

• In the United States, approval for new ABILIFY^® indications for pediatric bipolar maintenance therapy, pediatric schizophrenia maintenance therapy, and as add-on treatment to lithium or valproate for acute treatment of bipolar disorder.

• In Europe, approval for a 300 mg tablet of PLAVIX^®.

• Also in Europe, approval of an expanded indication for REYATAZ^® 300 mg once-daily boosted with ritonavir 100 mg as part of combination therapy in treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected patients.

• New Phase II data presented at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) demonstrated that ORENCIA^® may delay the development of rheumatoid arthritis in people with undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis.

• In April, ORENCIA^® was approved by the FDA for treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, the U.S. label for ORENCIA^® was revised with an indication that means ORENCIA^® is an appropriate option for patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, regardless of prior treatment received.

5

• At the annual scientific sessions of the American Diabetes Association, a phase III study demonstrated that saxagliptin produced significant reductions in key measures of glucose control in treatment-naïve people with type 2 diabetes compared to placebo.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The company agreed to sell the ConvaTec business for approximately $4.1 billion, subject to customary post closing adjustments, to Avista Capital Partners L.P. and Nordic Capital Fund VII in April 2008. The company expects to close the divestiture agreement by August 2008. The results of the ConvaTec business are included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.

2008 GUIDANCE

Bristol-Myers Squibb reaffirms its 2008 earnings guidance for fully diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on a GAAP basis to be between $1.36 and $1.46. The company also reaffirms its 2008 fully diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance on a non-GAAP basis to be between $1.60 and $1.70. The non-GAAP guidance excludes specified items as discussed under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” Details reconciling adjusted non-GAAP amounts with the amounts reflecting specified items are provided in supplemental materials available on the company’s website.

The company reaffirms guidance that it expects non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations to grow at a minimum of 15 percent compounded annual growth rate, from the 2007 base through 2010 without rebasing for the agreement to sell the ConvaTec business, excluding costs associated with the Productivity Transformation Initiative and other specified items that have not yet been identified and quantified.

The 2008 guidance and the three-year compound annual growth rate exclude other specified items such as gains or losses from sale of businesses and product lines; from sale of equity investments and from discontinuations of operations; restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront and milestone payments for licensing arrangements; payments for in-process research and development; debt retirement costs; impairments to investments; and significant tax events.

6

The financial guidance for 2008 and the three-year compound annual growth rate exclude the impact of any potential strategic acquisitions and divestitures and further assume that the company and its product partner, sanofi-aventis, maintain U.S. exclusivity for the PLAVIX^® patent through at least 2010.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share information, adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items.
