Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income | Compensation Actually Paid versus Net Income The graph below shows the relationship between compensation actually paid (to CEO and the average to other NEOs) and the Company’s Net Income. In April 2022, the Company completed the spin-off of its Diabetes Care business as a separate publicly traded company named Embecta Corp. Following the completion of the spin-off, the historical results of the Diabetes Care business are now accounted for as discontinued operations. The chart below does not adjust for discontinued operations so the results are not comparable across periods. |  |

Additional 402(v) Disclosure | The following table sets forth the compensation for our CEO and the average compensation for our other NEOs, both as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and with certain adjustments to reflect the “compensation actually paid” to such individuals, as defined under SEC rules, for each of 2023, 2022 and 2021. The table also provides information on our cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”), the cumulative TSR of our peer group, Net Income and Revenue over such years in accordance with SEC rules. Reflects “Net Income” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for each of the years ended September 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021. In April 2022, the Company completed the spin-off of its Diabetes Care business as a separate publicly traded company named Embecta Corp. Following the completion of the spin-off, the historical results of the Diabetes Care business are now accounted for as discontinued operations. The table above does not adjust for discontinued operations so the results are not comparable across periods. “Net Income from Continuing Operations” is in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for each of the years ended September 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $1.53 billion, $1.64 billion and $1.60 billion, respectively.Revenue represents the most important financial performance measure used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, including our CEO, for the most recently completed fiscal year to the Company’s performance. Revenue as set forth in the table is a non-GAAP measure and does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue includes results from BD's continuing operations and is adjusted to account for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the year, whether favorable or unfavorable to BD, compared to the rates we budgeted for that fiscal year. For our fiscal year 2021 PIP, the Compensation Committee set two separate revenue targets, one for revenues from our BD Veritor TM COVID-19 test and the other for our base business (which excludes COVID-19 only diagnostic testing). Revenue as set forth in the table for fiscal year 2021 reflects the combined performance. In April 2022, the Company completed the spin-off of its Diabetes Care business as a separate publicly traded company named Embecta Corp. Following the completion of the spin-off, the historical results of the Diabetes Care business are now accounted for as discontinued operations. The table above does not adjust for discontinued operations so the results are not comparable across periods. In August 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Surgical Instrumentation Platform and revenue reflected in the table for fiscal year 2023 has been adjusted for the divestiture. Tabular list of most important financial performance measures The following table sets forth an unranked list of the performance measures which we view as the “most important” measures for linking our NEOs' compensation for 2023 to performance. * These performance measures do not conform to generally accepted accounting principles. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 47 includes a description of these metrics. Analysis of the information presented in the pay versus performance table As described in more detail in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, the Company’s executive compensation program reflects our commitment to pay-for-performance. We selected Revenue as our company selected measure in our Pay versus Performance table above for purposes of evaluating Pay versus Performance because it is a key performance metric within our annual incentive plan and our long-term incentive compensation programs. While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with performance, we do not present all of these measures in the Pay versus Performance table above. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we are providing the following graphic depictions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table. |  |
