BD Announces Results For 2017 Third Fiscal Quarter

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today reported quarterly revenues of $3.035 billion for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017. This represents a decrease of 5.1 percent from the prior-year period and is primarily due to the divestiture of the Respiratory Solutions business that was completed in October 2016. On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, third quarter revenues grew 2.4 percent.

"We are pleased with our third quarter performance and outlook for fiscal year 2017," said Vincent A. Forlenza, Chairman and CEO. "We continue to deliver consistent, solid results while driving toward the successful closing of the C.R. Bard acquisition."

Third Quarter and Nine-Month Fiscal 2017 Operating Results
As reported, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were $(0.75), compared with $1.80 in the prior-year period. This represents a decrease of 141.7 percent and is primarily due to a non-cash charge resulting from a modification to dispensing lease contracts with customers as a result of the previously announced change in the U.S. dispensing business model. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.46, compared with $2.35 in the prior-year period. This represents an increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share of 4.7 percent, or 7.7 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, as reported, diluted earnings per share were $3.36, compared with $4.41 in the prior-year period. This represents a decrease of 23.8 percent and is primarily due to the aforementioned non-cash charge related to the change in the U.S. dispensing business model. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $7.09, compared with $6.48 in the prior-year period. This represents an increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share of 9.4 percent, or 13.1 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

Segment Results
In the BD Medical segment, as reported, worldwide revenues for the quarter of $2.038 billion decreased 8.8 percent from the prior-year period, primarily due to the aforementioned divestiture. On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, revenues increased 1.3 percent. The segment's results reflect solid performance in the Medication and Procedural Solutions, Diabetes Care and Pharmaceutical Systems units. Performance in the Medication Management Solutions unit was impacted by the previously announced change in the U.S. dispensing business model, which includes a transformation from capital placements to a value-based software business model.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, BD Medical revenues were $5.989 billion as reported, a decrease of 6.7 percent from the prior-year period due to the aforementioned divestiture. On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, BD Medical revenues increased 4.5 percent.

In the BD Life Sciences segment, as reported, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $997 million, an increase of 3.5 percent over the prior-year period, or an increase of 4.8 percent on a currency-neutral basis. The segment's revenue growth reflects strong performance in the Biosciences unit and solid growth in the Diagnostic Systems and Preanalytical Systems units.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, BD Life Sciences revenues were $2.937 billion as reported, an increase of 3.7 percent over the prior-year period, and an increase of 4.6 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

Geographic Results
As reported, third quarter revenues in the U.S. of $1.603 billion decreased 7.6 percent from the prior-year period, primarily due to the aforementioned divestiture. On a comparable basis, U.S. revenues increased 0.4 percent. Within the BD Medical segment, growth in the U.S. in the Medication and Procedural Solutions and Diabetes Care units was offset by declines in the Medication Management Solutions and Pharmaceutical Systems units. Performance in the Medication Management Solutions unit reflects the aforementioned change in the U.S. dispensing business model as well as the timing of capital placements that benefited growth in the first half of the fiscal year. Revenues in the Pharmaceutical Systems unit declined due to a tough comparison to the prior-year period. BD Life Sciences segment results in the U.S. reflect strength in the Preanalytical Systems and Biosciences units.

As reported, revenues outside of the U.S. of $1.433 billion declined 2.1 percent from the prior-year period primarily due to the aforementioned divestiture. On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, revenues outside of the U.S. increased 4.7 percent. International revenue growth reflects strong performance in both segments. Within the BD Medical segment, growth was driven by strength in the Medication and Procedural Solutions and Pharmaceutical Systems units. Growth in the BD Life Sciences segment reflects strength in the Diagnostic Systems and Biosciences units.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, U.S. revenues were $4.859 billion as reported, a decrease of 5.5 percent from the prior-year period, primarily due to the aforementioned divestiture. On a comparable basis, U.S. revenues grew 3.3 percent. As reported, revenues outside of the U.S. of $4.068 billion declined 1.0 percent from the prior-year period, primarily due to the aforementioned divestiture. On a comparable, currency-neutral basis, revenues outside the U.S. grew 6.0 percent.

Fiscal 2017 Outlook for Full Year
As reported, the Company now expects full fiscal year 2017 revenues to decrease 3.0 to 3.5 percent, primarily due to the aforementioned divestiture of the Respiratory Solutions business. This is an improvement from previously issued guidance of a 3.5 to 4.0 percent decrease in revenues and is due to a reduction in the estimated negative impact from foreign currency. The Company continues to estimate that revenues for the full fiscal year 2017 will increase 4.5 to 5.0 percent on a comparable, currency-neutral basis that excludes Respiratory Solutions and other divestitures that closed in fiscal year 2016.

As reported, the Company now expects full fiscal year 2017 diluted earnings per share to be between $5.10 and $5.15, which represents growth of approximately 14.0 to 15.0 percent. On a currency-neutral basis, the Company continues to expect full fiscal year adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $9.70 and $9.80, which represents growth of approximately 13.0 to 14.0 percent, including an estimated 1.5 percentage points of dilution related to the Respiratory Solutions divestiture. As a result of favorable foreign currency movement, the Company is raising its adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to be between $9.42 and $9.47, which represents growth of approximately 10.0 percent over fiscal 2016 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $8.59. This is an increase from previous guidance of $9.35 to $9.45, which represented growth of approximately 9.0 to 10.0 percent. Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes, among other specified items, the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, a non-cash charge resulting from a modification to dispensing lease contracts with customers, and the reversal of a litigation reserve.
