Geographic Results

 

Segment Results

The BD Medical segment includes the Medication Delivery Solutions (MDS), Medication Management Solutions (MMS), Pharmaceutical Systems (PS) and Advanced Patient Monitoring (APM) business units. APM was formed upon the closing of the acquisition of Critical Care from Edwards Lifesciences on September 3, 2024. BD Medical organic revenue growth reflects strong performance in APM, and low single-digit growth in MDS, MMS and PS.

• MDS performance reflects strong growth led by Vascular Access Management, partially offset by volume-based procurement in China.
• MMS performance reflects strength in Infusion Systems driven by a record quarter for BD Alaris™ capital installations.
• PS performance reflects high single-digit growth in Biologics, partially offset by lower market demand for vaccine products.
• APM performance reflects strong growth from all product lines, led by the HemoSphere Alta™ Monitor and Smart Recovery with strong adoption of Acumen IQ™ sensors.

The BD Life Sciences segment includes the Specimen Management (SM), Diagnostic Solutions (DS) and Biosciences (BDB) business units. BD Life Sciences performance reflects low single-digit growth in SM and DS, partially offset by a decrease in BDB.

• SM performance reflects solid growth in the BD Vacutainer™ portfolio, partially offset by performance in China.
• DS returned to positive growth with sequential improvement of over 450 basis points on a reported basis and over 300 basis points FXN. Growth was strong year over year in BD MAX™ IVD, BD COR™ and BD BACTEC™ as utilization continued to recover and exceeded 85% of historical levels in the U.S.
• BDB performance was driven by continued market dynamics impacting research funding, partially offset by continued new product traction in the FACSDiscover™ platform.

The BD Interventional segment includes the Surgery (SURG), Peripheral Intervention (PI), and Urology & Critical Care (UCC) business units. BD Interventional performance reflects double-digit growth in UCC, high single-digit growth in SURG and mid single-digit growth in PI.

• SURG performance reflects double-digit growth in Advanced Tissue Regeneration and Biosurgery, and high single-digit growth in Infection Prevention, partially offset by legacy U.S. hernia.
• PI performance reflects strength in Oncology across the portfolio and continued double-digit growth in the Rotarex™ Atherectomy System, partially offset by volume-based procurement in China.
• UCC performance reflects strong double-digit growth in the PureWick™ franchise with continued adoption of the Male and Female portfolios.

Assumptions and Outlook for Full Year Fiscal 2026

The company provided the following guidance with respect to fiscal 2026.

BD's outlook for fiscal 2026 reflects numerous assumptions about many factors that could affect its business, based on the information management has reviewed as of this date. Management will discuss its outlook and several of its assumptions on its fourth fiscal quarter earnings call.

The company's expected adjusted diluted EPS for fiscal 2026 excludes potential charges or gains that may be recorded during the fiscal year, such as, among other things, the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related charges, separation-related costs, and certain tax matters. BD does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance to the comparable GAAP measure because the impact and timing of these potential charges or gains are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and are unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a material impact on GAAP measures of BD's financial performance. We also present our revenue growth for our 2026 fiscal year after adjusting for the illustrative impact of foreign currency translation. BD believes that this adjustment allows investors to better evaluate BD's anticipated underlying revenue performance for our 2026 fiscal year in relation to our underlying 2025 fiscal year performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures/Financial Tables

This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These include adjusted revenues, revenue growth rates on a currency-neutral, adjusted and organic basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. BD management believes that the use of non-GAAP measures to adjust for items that are considered by management to be outside of BD's underlying operational results or that affect period-to-period comparability helps investors to gain a better understanding of our performance year-over-year, to analyze underlying trends in our businesses, to analyze our operating results, and to understand future prospects. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to measure and forecast the company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. We believe presenting such adjusted metrics provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by BD management for its operational decision-making and for comparison to other companies within the medical technology industry. Although BD's management believes non-GAAP results are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, its reliance on these measures is limited since items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on BD's net income, earnings per share or cash flows calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management typically uses non-GAAP results in conjunction with GAAP results to address these limitations. BD strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by BD may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

We present adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin for the full fiscal year 2025 and for the corresponding prior period, which excludes the recognition of accruals relating to the Italian government medical device pay back legislation, as well as another legal matter, and which substantially relate to years prior to fiscal year 2024, as well as the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, integration and restructuring costs, transaction costs, separation-related costs, certain regulatory costs, certain product remediation costs, certain legal matters, and certain asset impairment charges because we believe these items affect the comparability of the periods presented to prior periods and helps investors better understand our performance year-over-year, to analyze underlying trends in our businesses, to analyze our operating results, and to better understand our future prospects.

We present adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2025, and the corresponding prior periods, after eliminating items we believe are not part of our ordinary operations and affect the comparability of the periods presented. Adjusted diluted earnings per share includes adjustments for the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, integration and restructuring costs, transaction costs, financing costs, separation-related costs, certain regulatory costs, certain product remediation costs, certain legal matters, certain investment gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, and certain pension settlement costs. In particular, prior-year adjusted diluted earnings per share results exclude European regulatory initiative-related costs, which represent costs incurred to develop processes and systems to establish initial compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation and the European Union In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (collectively, the "New EU Medical Devices Regulations"), which represent a significant, unusual change to the existing regulatory framework. We consider the excluded European regulatory initiative-related costs to be duplicative of previously incurred costs and/or one-off costs related to establishing initial compliance with such regulatory regimes, and in each case are limited to a specific period of time. These expenses relate to establishing initial compliance with the New EU Medical Devices Regulations and include the cost of labor, other services and consulting (in particular, research and development and clinical trials) and supplies, travel and other miscellaneous costs. These costs were recorded in Cost of products sold and Research and development expense.

We also present revenue growth rates for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2025 over the corresponding prior periods on a currency-neutral basis after eliminating the effect of foreign currency translation, where applicable. We also show the growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share compared to the prior year periods after eliminating the impact of foreign currency translation to further enable investors to evaluate BD's underlying earnings performance compared to the prior periods. We calculate foreign currency-neutral percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a foreign currency-neutral basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors' ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to the prior periods.

We present adjusted revenues for fiscal year 2024 which excludes the recognition of accruals relating to the Italian government medical device pay back legislation, as well as another legal matter, and which substantially relate to years prior to fiscal year 2024, because we believe these items affect the comparability of the periods presented.

New BD refers to BD post the separation of the Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions business from BD.

Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables. Within the attached financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.
