February 7, 2011
Repost This

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today reported quarterly revenues of $1.842 billion for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 1.4 percent from the prior-year period. On a foreign currency-neutral basis, revenue decreased 1.5 percent. The revenue decline reflects an unfavorable comparison to the prior year of about 4 percentage points due to strong sales related to the pandemic flu and U.S. stimulus revenues in fiscal 2010.

The Company also repurchased $837 million of its common stock during the quarter. BD continues to plan aggregate share repurchases of $1.5 billion in fiscal 2011 and an additional $600 million in fiscal 2012.

“We are pleased with our performance in the first fiscal quarter given the challenging environment,” said Edward J. Ludwig, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While revenue came in slightly below our expectations, our discipline around operational excellence enabled us to deliver earnings per share in line with our previous guidance. We continued to return significant value to shareholders, while also investing in geographic expansion, new product platforms and operational excellence programs.”

First Quarter Earnings

Reported diluted earnings per share for the first quarter were $1.35, compared with $1.25 in the prior-year period, representing an 8.0 percent increase. On a foreign currency-neutral basis, diluted earnings per share for the first quarter increased by 4.8 percent.

For the quarter, reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations included an approximate $0.07 favorable impact due to the timing of certain tax benefits. These benefits, which were reflected in our previous full year guidance, resulted from certain first quarter events, including the retroactive extension of the U.S. research tax credit.

Segment Results

In the BD Medical segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $927 million, representing a decrease of 4.5 percent compared with the prior-year period, or a decrease of 4.3 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis. The segment’s revenue decline reflects an unfavorable comparison to the prior year of about 6 percentage points due to strong sales related to the H1N1 flu pandemic in fiscal year 2010, partially offset by solid growth in the Diabetes Care unit with particularly strong growth in pen needles.

In the BD Diagnostics segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $602 million, representing an increase of 1.0 percent compared with the prior-year period, or 0.6 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis. Segment revenue growth was negatively impacted by about 2 percentage points due to strong sales related to the flu pandemic in fiscal year 2010. The segment growth was primarily driven by strong sales in Preanalytical Systems safety-engineered products, and Women’s Health and Cancer in the Diagnostic Systems unit.

In the BD Biosciences segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $314 million, representing an increase of 3.7 percent compared with the prior-year period, or 3.5 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis. Segment revenue growth was negatively impacted by about 2 percentage points due to strong sales related to stimulus spending in the U.S. in fiscal year 2010. Segment growth was primarily driven by instrument and reagent sales in the Cell Analysis unit.

Geographic Results

First quarter revenues in the U.S. were $829 million, representing a decrease of 2.9 percent compared with the prior-year period, including a negative impact of 6.0 percentage points due to flu pandemic-related sales in fiscal year 2010. Revenues outside of the U.S. were $1.013 billion, representing a decrease of 0.2 percent compared with the prior-year period, or a decrease of 0.3 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis. International revenue growth was negatively impacted by about 3 percentage points related to the flu pandemic in fiscal year 2010. Revenues reflected continued strength in emerging markets, which was partially offset by a decline in sales in Europe.

Company Reaffirms Previously Communicated Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance

The Company continues to estimate that reported revenues for the full fiscal year 2011 will increase about 4 percent compared to fiscal year 2010. The Company also continues to expect reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2011 to be between $5.45 and $5.55, an increase of approximately 11 to 13 percent over fiscal year 2010. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2011 are expected to increase 10 to 12 percent over adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding specified item, of $4.94 for fiscal year 2010. The specified item represents a 2010 non-cash charge of $0.04 cents per share related to healthcare reform impacting Medicare Part D reimbursements.
