BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of the management of Becton, Dickinson and Company (the "Company" or "BD"), include all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. However, the financial statements do not include all information and accompanying notes required for a presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Note 2 – Accounting Changes
New Accounting Principle Adopted
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update that requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding supplier finance programs. The new disclosure requirements are intended to help investors better consider the effect of these programs on a company's working capital, liquidity, and cash flows. The Company adopted this accounting standard on October 1, 2023, and disclosures regarding the Company’s supplier finance programs are provided in Note 13.
New Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update which requires more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments. This update is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year 2025 reporting and for interim reporting beginning with its fiscal year 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires more disaggregated information to be included in the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid annual disclosures. This update is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year 2026 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its disclosures.

Share Repurchases
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company executed and settled accelerated share repurchase agreements for the repurchase of 2.118 million shares of its common stock for total consideration of $500 million, excluding a 1% excise tax on share repurchases of $3 million. The share repurchases were recorded as an increase to Treasury stock and were made pursuant to the repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on November 3, 2021, for 10 million shares of BD common stock, for which there is no expiration date.
The components and changes of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the first three quarters of fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

The amounts of foreign currency translation recognized in other comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included net gains (losses) relating to net investment hedges. The amounts recognized in other comprehensive income relating to cash flow hedges during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are primarily related to forward starting interest rate swaps, which were terminated in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. Additional disclosures regarding the Company's derivatives are provided in Note 12.
The tax impacts for amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications and for reclassifications out of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relating to benefit plans and cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial results.

Note 4 – Earnings per Share
The weighted average common shares used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (shares in thousands) were as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Average common shares outstanding | 289,562 |  |  | 286,317 |  |  | 289,815 |  |  | 284,830 |
Dilutive share equivalents from share-based plans | 691 |  |  | 1,627 |  |  | 1,042 |  |  | 1,538 |
Average common and common equivalent shares outstanding – assuming dilution | 290,253 |  |  | 287,944 |  |  | 290,857 |  |  | 286,368 |
Share equivalents excluded from the diluted shares outstanding calculation: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Mandatory convertible preferred stock (a) | — |  |  | 4,057 |  |  | — |  |  | 5,322 |
Share-based plans (b) | 2,817 |  |  | — |  |  | 1,130 |  |  | 588 |

(a)Excluded from the diluted shares outstanding calculation because the result would have been antidilutive.
(b)Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the exercise prices of these awards were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares.
Note 5 – Contingencies
The Company is involved, both as a plaintiff and a defendant, in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, product liability and environmental matters in certain U.S. and international locations. Given the uncertain nature of litigation generally, the Company is not able, in all cases, to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome of litigation in which the Company is a party. Even if the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, from time to time the Company engages in settlement discussions and mediation and considers settlements taking into account various factors including, among other things, developments in such legal proceedings and the risks and uncertainties associated therewith. These activities have resulted in settlements for certain matters and going forward could result in further settlements, any of which may be confidential.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company establishes accruals to the extent future losses are probable and reasonably estimable (and in the case of environmental matters, without considering possible third-party recoveries). With respect to putative class action lawsuits and certain tort actions in the United States and certain of the Canadian lawsuits described below or in our other SEC filings, the Company may not be able to determine if a probable loss exists for the following reasons: (i) all or certain of the proceedings are in early stages; (ii) the Company has not received and reviewed complete information regarding all or certain of the plaintiffs and their medical conditions; and/or (iii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved. In addition, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of any class. With respect to certain of the civil investigative demands (“CIDs”) served by the Department of Justice which are discussed below, the Company may not be able to determine if a probable loss exists, unless otherwise noted, for the following reasons: (i) all or certain of the proceedings are in early stages; and/or (ii) there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved.
Product Liability Matters
As of June 30, 2024, the Company is defending approximately 38,800 product liability claims involving the Company’s line of hernia repair devices (collectively, the “Hernia Product Claims”). The Company’s outstanding Hernia Product Claims as of September 30, 2023 were approximately 34,845. The Company’s outstanding product liability claims represent nonhomogeneous populations of claims which vary widely based upon various factors, most notably the quality of the claims. As such, claim activity during any given period may not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s ultimate liability under a mass tort matter. As further discussed below, the Company’s underlying estimate of its product liability includes and already accounts for unfiled claims and as such, the net year-to-date change in the number of outstanding Hernia Product Claims did not materially impact the Company’s product liability accrual as of June 30, 2024. The majority of the outstanding claims are currently pending in a coordinated proceeding in Rhode Island State Court (“RI”) and in a federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) established in the Southern District of Ohio, but claims are also pending in other state and/or federal court jurisdictions. In addition, outstanding claims include multiple putative class actions in Canada. Generally, the Hernia Product Claims seek damages for personal injury allegedly resulting from use of the products. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending itself in these matters. There are no trials currently scheduled.
11

The Company also continues to be a defendant in certain other mass tort litigation. As of June 30, 2024, the Company is defending product liability claims involving the Company’s line of pelvic mesh products, the majority of which are pending in a coordinated proceeding in New Jersey Superior Court and in various federal court jurisdictions, the Company’s line of inferior vena cava (“IVC”) filter products, which are pending in various jurisdictions, and the Company’s line of implantable ports, the majority of which are pending in an MDL in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending itself in these matters.
In most product liability litigations like those described above, plaintiffs allege a wide variety of claims, ranging from allegations of serious injury caused by the products to efforts to obtain compensation notwithstanding the absence of any injury. In many of these cases, the Company has not yet received and reviewed complete information regarding the plaintiffs and their medical conditions and, consequently, is unable to fully evaluate the claims. The Company expects that it will receive and review additional information regarding any remaining unsettled product liability matters.
Other Legal Matters
On November 2, 2020, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Jankowski v. Forlenza, et al., Civ. No. 2:20-cv-15474, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey by a shareholder, derivatively on behalf of the Company, against certain of the Company’s directors and officers. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty; violations of sections 10(b), 14(a) and 21D of the Exchange Act, and insider trading. The complaint principally alleges, that the Company made misleading statements regarding Alaris TM infusion pumps in a proxy statement and other SEC filings. A second derivative action was filed on January 24, 2021, and the two actions were consolidated. In March 2021, the Company received letters from two additional shareholders which, in general, mirrored the allegations in the derivative actions, and demanded, among other things, that the Board of Directors pursue claims against members of management for claimed breaches of fiduciary duties. Consistent with New Jersey law, the Board appointed a special committee to review the allegations and demands in the derivative actions and demand letters. Following an investigation, the special committee determined that no action was warranted, and rejected the shareholders’ demands, communicating its determination to counsel for the shareholders. On January 10, 2023, one of the two shareholders referenced above filed a separate derivative action that: (i) is generally consistent with the shareholder letter and the two prior actions; and (ii) purports to challenge the reasonableness of the special committee’s process and determination. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending itself in these matters.
Beginning in February 2021, the Company received subpoenas from the Enforcement Division of the SEC requesting information from the Company relating to, among other things, certain reporting issues involving BD Alaris TM infusion pumps included in SEC disclosures prior to 2021. The Company is cooperating with the SEC and responding to these requests, including requests for employee interviews and investigative testimony, and is engaged in discussions with the SEC with respect to the potential for resolving this matter. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of the discussions with the SEC, the Company expects that any resolution will likely require the Company to pay monetary penalties and/or undertake other remedial actions, any of which could potentially be material. As a result, although no agreement has been reached, the Company has recorded a charge of $50 million to Other operating expense (income), net for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2024 to accrue an estimated liability based on these discussions. However, the Company cannot anticipate the timing, scope, outcome or ultimate impact of the investigation, financial or otherwise, including but not limited to what actions the SEC might pursue against the Company and/or individuals. As a result, the ultimate resolution of this matter is unknown at this time, and it is possible that the amount of the Company’s liability could significantly exceed its currently accrued amount.
In July 2017, C.R. Bard received a CID from the Department of Justice seeking documents and information relating to an investigation into possible violations of the False Claims Act in connection with the sales and marketing of FloChec® and QuantaFlo TM devices. The Company has responded to these requests and met with the Department of Justice in February and July 2024; discussions are ongoing.
In April 2019, the Department of Justice served the Company and CareFusion with CIDs seeking information regarding certain of CareFusion’s contracts with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, some dating back more than 10 years, for certain products, including Alaris TM and Pyxis TM devices, in connection with a civil investigation of possible violations of the False Claims Act, and the government later expanded the investigation to include several additional contracts. The government has made several requests for documents and interviews or depositions of Company personnel. The Company is cooperating with the government and responding to these requests.
In September 2021, the Company received a CID related to an inquiry initiated by the Department of Justice in the Northern District of Georgia in 2018 concerning sales and marketing practices with respect to certain aspects of the Company’s urology business. After multiple document productions and interviews, the Company and the government mediated the case in an effort to resolve this dispute; an agreement in principle was reached to resolve this matter for an adequately accrued amount that is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
12

In April 2023, the Department of Justice served the Company with a CID seeking information regarding the Company’s Genesis TM container products in connection with an investigation of possible violations of the False Claims Act. The government has requested documents and the Company is cooperating with the government and responding to its requests.
In September 2021, the Company was served with a complaint from the New Mexico Attorney General, alleging violations of the state’s consumer protection laws in connection with the sales and marketing of its IVC filters. The Company’s motion to dismiss certain of the claims was granted on May 10, 2022. An agreement to resolve the matter was executed in July 2024 for an amount that is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
The Company was sued in state and federal courts in Georgia by plaintiffs who work or reside near Company facilities in Covington, GA, where ethylene oxide (“EtO”) sterilization activities take place. The federal cases have been dismissed and refiled in state court. The plaintiffs in the cases seek compensatory and punitive damages. Pursuant to Georgia statute, punitive damages in these cases are generally capped at $250,000 per claimant, unless the plaintiff can prove by clear and convincing evidence that the Company acted, or failed to act, with a specific intent to cause harm. The cases allege a variety of injuries, including but not limited to multiple types of cancer, allegedly attributable to exposure to EtO. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has approximately 235 of such suits involving approximately 350 plaintiffs asserting individual personal injury claims; approximately 45 of the cases also allege injury caused by exposure to a chemical of another defendant entirely unrelated to the Company. No cases have yet been tried although a trial date has been set for one such case scheduled for April 2025. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending itself in these matters.
In 2015, legislation was enacted in Italy which requires medical technology companies to make payments to the Italian government if Italy’s medical device expenditures exceed annual regional expenditure ceilings. The amount of these payments is based on the amount by which the regional ceilings for the given year were exceeded. Considerable uncertainty has existed regarding the enforceability and implementation of this payback legislation since it was enacted and the Company, as well as other medical device companies, have filed appeals which challenge the enforceability of this legislation. In July 2024, the Italian Constitutional Court issued two judgments which concluded that the medical device payback legislation is constitutional; however, litigation proceedings before Italian Courts are still pending. While the Company has recorded a preliminary estimate of the liability related to this matter, ultimate resolution is unknown at this time, and it is possible that the amount of the Company’s liability could differ from the currently accrued amount. This estimated amount, which substantially relates to years prior to the current fiscal year, was recorded for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2024 as a $62 million reduction of Revenues.
The Company is also involved both as a plaintiff and a defendant in other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending itself in each of these matters.
Except as otherwise noted, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the other legal matters discussed above, nor can it predict whether any outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and/or consolidated cash flows. Further, the Company may not be able to determine if a probable loss exists for certain of the other legal matters discussed above, and accordingly, the Company has recorded no provisions for such matters in its consolidated results of operations.
The Company is a potentially responsible party to a number of federal administrative proceedings in the United States brought under the Comprehensive Environment Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as “Superfund,” and similar state laws. The Company also is subject to administrative proceedings under environmental laws in jurisdictions outside the U.S. The affected sites are in varying stages of development. In some instances, the remedy has been completed, while in others, environmental studies are underway or commencing. For several sites, there are other potentially responsible parties that may be jointly or severally liable to pay all or part of cleanup costs. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, the Company does not expect these proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations and/or consolidated cash flows.
Litigation Accruals
The Company regularly monitors and evaluates the status of product liability and other litigated matters, and may, from time-to-time, engage in settlement discussions and mediation taking into consideration, among other things, developments in the litigation and the risks and uncertainties associated therewith. These activities have resulted in confidential settlements and going forward could result in further settlements, the terms of which would be confidential. A determination of the accrual amounts for these contingencies is made after analysis of each litigation matter. When appropriate, the accrual is developed with the consultation of outside counsel and, in the case of certain mass tort litigation, actuarial specialists regarding the nature, timing, and extent of each matter.
13

The Company considers relevant information when estimating its product liability accruals, including, but not limited to: the nature, number, and quality of unfiled and filed claims; the rate of claims being filed; the status of settlement discussions with plaintiffs’ counsel; the allegations and documentation supporting or refuting such allegations; publicly available information regarding similar medical device mass tort settlements; historical information regarding other product liability settlements involving the Company; and the stage of litigation. Because currently available information regarding product liability matters is often limited, there is inherent uncertainty and volatility relating to the Company’s estimate of product liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company records adjustments to its product liability accruals as required.
Accruals for the Company's product liability claims which are discussed above, as well as the related legal defense costs, amounted to approximately $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. These accruals, which are generally long-term in nature, are largely recorded within Deferred Income Taxes and Other Liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in the Company’s product liability accrual as of June 30, 2024, as compared with September 30, 2023, largely reflected reductions to the accrual due to the payment of settlements and legal fees, as well as an adjustment of $41 million due to the favorable resolution of claims during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. The increase in the number of outstanding hernia repair device claims discussed above did not materially impact the Company’s product liability accrual because the underlying estimate of the Company’s liability includes and already accounts for unfiled claims. Moreover, the accrual reflects the determination that the quality of new hernia repair device claims has generally diminished over time. Claim activity during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2024 relating to the pelvic mesh device and IVC filter matters did not materially impact the Company’s product liability accrual as of June 30, 2024.
Additionally, the particular outcome in any one product liability trial is typically not representative of potential outcomes of all cases or claims. Because the accrual already contemplates a wide range of possible outcomes, including those with a de minimis value, individual outcomes generally do not impact the value of other cases in the total case inventory or the overall product liability accrual.
In view of the uncertainties discussed above, the Company could incur charges in excess of any currently established accruals and, to the extent available, liability insurance. In the opinion of management, any such future charges, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and/or consolidated cash flows.
Note 6 – Revenues
The Company’s policies for recognizing sales have not changed from those described in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company sells a broad range of medical supplies, devices, laboratory equipment and diagnostic products which are distributed through independent distribution channels and directly by BD through sales representatives. End-users of the Company's products include healthcare institutions, physicians, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry and the general public. In the current and prior-year periods, the Company generated revenues attributable to licensing, which includes consideration received in exchange for the use of BD intellectual property by third parties.
Measurement of Revenues
The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of its trade receivables. Such estimated credit losses are determined based on historical loss experiences, customer-specific credit risk, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, such as country or regional risks that are not captured in the historical loss information. The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables is not material to the Company's consolidated financial results.
The Company's gross revenues are subject to a variety of deductions which are recorded in the same period that the underlying revenues are recognized. Such variable consideration includes rebates, sales discounts and sales returns. The Company’s rebate liability at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was $646 million and $538 million, respectively. The impact of other forms of variable consideration, including sales discounts and sales returns, is not material to the Company's revenues.
Effects of Revenue Arrangements on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Capitalized contract costs associated with the costs to fulfill contracts for certain products in the Medication Management Solutions organizational unit are immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Commissions relating to revenues recognized over a period longer than one year are recorded as assets which are amortized over the period over which the revenues underlying the commissions are recognized. Capitalized contract costs related to such commissions are immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
14

Contract liabilities for unearned revenue that is allocable to performance obligations, such as extended warranty and software maintenance contracts, which are performed over time, were approximately $449 million and $412 million as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and are included in Payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's liability for product warranties provided under its agreements with customers is not material to its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company's obligations relative to service contracts and pending installations of equipment, primarily in the Company's Medication Management Solutions unit, represent unsatisfied performance obligations of the Company. The revenues under existing contracts with original expected durations of more than one year, which are attributable to products and/or services that have not yet been installed or provided are estimated to be approximately $2.3 billion at June 30, 2024. The Company expects to recognize the majority of this revenue over the next three years.
Within the Company's Medication Management Solutions, Medication Delivery Solutions, Integrated Diagnostic Solutions, and Biosciences units, some contracts also contain minimum purchase commitments of reagents or other consumables, and the future sales of these consumables represent additional unsatisfied performance obligations of the Company. The revenue attributable to the unsatisfied minimum purchase commitment-related performance obligations, for contracts with original expected durations of more than one year, is estimated to be approximately $2.1 billion at June 30, 2024. This revenue will be recognized over the customer relationship periods.
Disaggregation of Revenues
A disaggregation of the Company's revenues by segment, organizational unit and geographic region is provided in Note 7.
Note 7 – Segment Data
The Company's organizational structure is based upon three worldwide business segments: BD Medical (“Medical”), BD Life Sciences (“Life Sciences”) and BD Interventional (“Interventional”). The Company's segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services. Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. The Company evaluates performance of its business segments and allocates resources to them primarily based upon segment operating income, which represents revenues reduced by product costs and operating expenses.
15

Revenues by segment, organizational unit and geographical areas for the three and nine-month periods are detailed below. The Company has no material intersegment revenues.

The Company will fund the transaction with cash on hand, the net proceeds raised through debt issuances in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, as further discussed in Note 14, and borrowings under our commercial paper program. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory reviews and closing conditions, and is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2024.
Note 10 – Business Restructuring Charges
The Company incurred restructuring costs during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, primarily in connection with the Company's simplification and other cost-saving initiatives, which were recorded within Integration, restructuring and transaction expense. These simplification and other cost-saving initiatives are focused on reducing complexity, optimizing our supply chain efficiency, streamlining our global manufacturing footprint, enhancing product quality, refining customer experience, and improving cost efficiency across all of the Company’s segments.

Goodwill as of June 30, 2024 | $ | 10,967 |  |  | $ | 899 |  |  | $ | 12,681 |  |  | $ | 24,546 |

Note 12 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The effects these derivative instruments and hedged items had on the Company’s balance sheets and the fair values of the derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were not material. The effects on the Company’s financial performance and cash flows are provided below.
Foreign Currency Risks and Related Strategies
The Company has foreign currency exposures throughout Europe, Greater Asia, Canada and Latin America. Transactional currency exposures that arise from entering into transactions, generally on an intercompany basis, in non-hyperinflationary countries that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are mitigated primarily through the use of forward contracts. In order to mitigate foreign currency exposure relating to its investments in certain foreign subsidiaries, the Company has hedged the currency risk associated with those investments with certain instruments, such as foreign currency-denominated debt and cross-currency swaps, which are designated as net investment hedges, as well as currency exchange contracts.
The notional amounts of the Company’s foreign currency-related derivative instruments as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:

(Millions of dollars) | Hedge Designation |  | June 30, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
Foreign exchange contracts (a) | Undesignated |  | $ | 2,513 |  |  | $ | 3,146 |
Foreign currency-denominated debt (b) | Net investment hedges |  | 2,938 |  |  | 1,056 |
Cross-currency swaps (c) | Net investment hedges |  | 1,366 |  |  | 2,119 |

(a)Represent hedges of transactional foreign exchange exposures resulting primarily from intercompany payables and receivables. Gains and losses on these instruments are recognized immediately in income. These gains and losses are largely offset by gains and losses on the underlying hedged items, as well as the hedging costs associated with the
19

derivative instruments. Net amounts recognized in Other (expense) income, net, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial results.
(b)Represents foreign currency-denominated long-term notes outstanding which were effective as economic hedges of net investments in certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
(c)Represents cross-currency swaps which were effective as economic hedges of net investments in certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
Net gains or losses relating to the net investment hedges, which are attributable to changes in the foreign currencies to U.S. dollar spot exchange rates, are recorded as foreign currency translation in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Upon the termination of a net investment hedge, any net gain or loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relative to the investment hedge remains until the foreign subsidiary investment is disposed of or is substantially liquidated.
Net gains (losses) recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relating to the Company's net investment hedges for the three and nine-month periods were as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
(Millions of dollars) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Foreign currency-denominated debt | $ | 24 |  |  | $ | (14) |  |  | $ | (1) |  |  | $ | (178) |
Cross-currency swaps (a) | 10 |  |  | (18) |  |  | (24) |  |  | (119) |

(a) The amounts for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 include gains, net of tax, of $9 million and the amount for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 included a gain, net of tax, of $13 million, recognized on terminated cross-currency swaps.
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
The Company uses a mix of fixed and variable rate debt to manage its interest rate exposure, and periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges.
Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. If interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, the balance in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to those derivatives is reclassified into earnings, within Interest expense, over the remaining life of the hedged debt. The amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income relating to cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as the amounts expected to be reclassified within the next 12 months, are not material to the Company's consolidated financial results.
Net after-tax gains (losses) recorded in Other comprehensive income relating to interest rate cash flow hedges during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 included a net after-tax gain of $67 million that was realized upon the Company’s termination of $500 million of forward starting interest rate swaps in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. Net after-tax gains (losses) recorded in Other comprehensive income relating to interest rate cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. Amounts recorded during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial results.
The notional amounts of the Company’s interest rate-related derivative instruments as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:

(Millions of dollars) | Hedge Designation |  | June 30, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
Interest rate swaps (a) | Fair value hedges |  | $ | 700 |  |  | $ | 700 |
Forward starting interest rate swaps (b) | Cash flow hedges |  | — |  |  | 500 |

(a)Represents fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements the Company entered into to convert the interest payments on certain long-term notes from the fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on secured overnight financing rates (“SOFR”).
20

(b)Represents interest rate derivatives entered into to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk related to future debt issuances.
Other Risk Exposures
The Company purchases resins, which are oil-based components used in the manufacture of certain products. Significant increases in world oil prices that lead to increases in resin purchase costs could impact future operating results. From time to time, the Company has managed price risks associated with these commodity purchases through commodity derivative forward contracts. The Company's commodity derivative forward contracts at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial results.
Note 13 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The following reconciles cash and equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 to the total of these amounts shown on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

(Millions of dollars) | June 30, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
Cash and equivalents | $ | 4,459 |  |  | $ | 1,416 |
Restricted cash | 28 |  |  | 65 |
Cash and equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 4,487 |  |  | $ | 1,481 |

Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase. Restricted cash consists of cash restricted from withdrawal and usage except for certain product liability matters.
The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

(Millions of dollars) | Basis of fair value measurement |  | June 30, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
Institutional money market accounts (a) | Level 1 |  | $ | 1,561 |  |  | $ | 373 |
Current portion of long-term debt (b) | Level 2 |  | 1,178 |  |  | 1,122 |
Long-term debt (b) | Level 2 |  | 16,764 |  |  | 12,850 |

(a)These financial instruments are recorded within Cash and equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The institutional money market accounts permit daily redemption. The fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices in active markets provided by the holding financial institutions.
(b)Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is measured based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments.
Short-term investments are held to their maturities and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The short-term investments primarily consist of time deposits with maturities greater than three months and less than one year. All other instruments measured by the Company at fair value, including derivatives, contingent consideration liabilities and available-for-sale debt securities, are immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $42 million to Integration, restructuring and transaction expense to write down the carrying value of certain fixed assets. The amount recognized was recorded to adjust the carrying amount of assets to the assets' fair values, which were estimated, based upon a market participant's perspective, using Level 3 measurements, including values estimated using the income approach.
Transfers of Trade Receivables
Over the normal course of its business activities, the Company transfers certain trade receivable assets to third parties under factoring agreements. Per the terms of these agreements, the Company surrenders control over its trade receivables upon transfer. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the transfers as sales of trade receivables by recognizing an increase to Cash and equivalents and a decrease to Trade receivables, net when proceeds from the transactions are received. The costs incurred
21

by the Company in connection with factoring activities were not material to its consolidated financial results. The amounts transferred and yet to be remitted under factoring arrangements are provided below.

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
(Millions of dollars) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Trade receivables transferred to third parties under factoring arrangements | $ | 364 |  |  | $ | 762 |  |  | $ | 1,115 |  |  | $ | 2,252 |

| June 30, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
Amounts yet to be collected and remitted to the third parties | $ | 333 |  |  | $ | 357 |

Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has agreements where participating suppliers are provided the ability to receive early payment of the Company’s obligations at a nominal discount through supplier finance programs entered into with third party financial institutions. The Company is not a party to these arrangements, and these programs do not impact the Company’s obligations or affect the Company’s payment terms, which generally range from 90 to 150 days. The agreements with the financial institutions do not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the supplier finance programs. The Company had $116 million and $94 million of outstanding payables related to supplier finance programs as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, which were recorded within Payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 14 – Debt
In June 2024, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.081% notes due June 7, 2029 and €1.000 billion ($1.087 billion) aggregate principal amount of 3.828% Euro-denominated notes due June 7, 2032. Also in June 2024, Becton Dickinson Euro Finance S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée), which is an indirect, wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the Company, issued €800 million ($869 million) aggregate principal amount of 4.029% Euro-denominated notes due June 7, 2036 (the “BD Finance Notes”).
The BD Finance Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company. No other of the Company's subsidiaries provide any guarantees with respect to the BD Finance Notes. The indenture covenants include a limitation on liens and a restriction on sale and leasebacks, change of control and consolidation, merger and sale of assets covenants. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications. The indenture does not restrict the Company, Becton Dickinson Euro Finance S.à r.l., or any other of the Company's subsidiaries from incurring additional debt or other liabilities, including additional senior debt. Additionally, the indenture does not restrict Becton Dickinson Euro Finance S.à r.l. and the Company from granting security interests over its assets.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from these issuances, together with borrowings under its commercial paper program and cash on hand, to fund the cash consideration, as well as related fees and expenses, that will be payable upon the acquisition of Critical Care, as further discussed in Note 9. The Company may also use some portion of the net proceeds from these issuances for general corporate purposes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in this report. Within the tables presented throughout this discussion, certain columns may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts. References to years throughout this discussion relate to our fiscal years, which end on September 30.
Company Overview
Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD”) is a global medical technology company engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of medical supplies, devices, laboratory equipment and diagnostic products used by healthcare institutions, physicians, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry and the general public. The Company's organizational structure is based upon three principal business segments, BD Medical (“Medical”), BD Life Sciences (“Life Sciences”) and BD Interventional (“Interventional”).
BD’s products are manufactured and sold worldwide. Our products are marketed in the United States and internationally through independent distribution channels and directly to end-users by BD and independent sales representatives. We organize our operations outside the United States as follows: EMEA (which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa); Greater Asia (which includes countries in Greater China, Japan, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Korea, Australia and New Zealand); Latin America (which includes Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America); and Canada. We continue to pursue growth opportunities in emerging markets, which include the following geographic regions: Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (collectively referred to below as “EMA”), as well as Latin America and certain countries within Greater Asia.
Agreement to Acquire Critical Care Product Group
On June 3, 2024, we announced a definitive agreement under which BD will acquire Edward Lifesciences' Critical Care product group ("Critical Care") for $4.2 billion in cash. The acquisition will expand BD’s portfolio of smart connected care solutions with Critical Care’s growing set of leading monitoring technologies, advanced AI-enabled clinical decision tools and robust innovation pipeline that complement BD’s existing technologies serving operating rooms and intensive care units. Additional discussion regarding the acquisition agreement and debt we issued in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 to fund the cash consideration payable upon the transaction’s close is provided in Notes 9 and 14 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory reviews and closing conditions, and is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2024.
Key Trends Affecting Results of Operations
Our BD 2025 strategy for growth is anchored in three pillars: grow, simplify and empower. As we execute this strategy, we continue to invest in research and development, strategic tuck-in acquisitions, geographic expansion, and new product programs to drive further revenue and profit growth. Our ability to sustain our long-term growth will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to expand our core business (including strategic geographical expansion), and develop innovative new products, as well as continue to improve operating efficiency and organizational effectiveness.
Our operations, supply chain, suppliers and customers are exposed to various global macroeconomic factors and we continually evaluate macroeconomic conditions to assess their potential impact to our operations and financial results. Macroeconomic factors which affected our operations and impacted results in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 included the following:
•As anticipated, market dynamics in China, such as volume-based procurement programs (“VoBP”) and the government’s focus to improve compliance of healthcare practitioners, had an adverse impact on our results of operations and these dynamics could continue to unfavorably impact our results of operations.
•As is further discussed below, our labor costs were generally higher in our third quarter compared with the prior-year period. The supply of labor continues to be limited in certain markets and as such, labor availability and costs could continue to unfavorably impact our results of operations.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, temporary shortages in supply of certain materials or components that are used in our products. The stable flow of global transport is critical to our operations and as such, events affecting the flow of logistics around the globe may adversely impact our supply chain and distribution channels. In general, major disruptions in the sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of our products could adversely impact our results of operations.
In addition, current healthcare delivery has transitioned more care from acute to non-acute settings and has increased focus on chronic disease management; this transition has placed additional financial pressure on hospitals and the broader healthcare system. Healthcare institutions may take actions to mitigate any persistent pressures on their budgets and such actions could impact the future demand for our products and services. Additionally, a deterioration of staffing levels within healthcare
23

systems may affect the prioritization of healthcare services, which could also impact the demand for certain of our products. Also, reductions or delays in governmental research funding and/or higher interest rates could cause customers for our instruments and reagents to delay or forego purchases of these products.
Certain geopolitical conditions, including the evolving situations in Ukraine, the Middle East and Asia, may impact global macroeconomic conditions, including those discussed above. While these geopolitical conditions have not materially impacted our results of operations to date, the continuation and/or an escalation of these evolving situations may weaken the global economy and could result in additional inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints, including the unavailability and cost of energy.
We have been mitigating the impacts of the macroeconomic and other factors discussed above through various strategies which leverage our procurement, logistics and manufacturing capabilities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively mitigate these pressures in future periods and an inability to offset these pressures through our strategies, at least in part, could adversely impact our results of operations. Due to the significant uncertainty that exists relative to the duration and overall impact of the macroeconomic and other factors discussed above, our future operating performance, particularly in the short-term, may be subject to volatility. The impacts of macroeconomic and other conditions on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are dependent on certain factors, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2023 Annual Report”).
Overview of Financial Results and Financial Condition
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, worldwide revenues of $4.990 billion increased 2.3% from the prior-year period. This increase reflected the following impacts:

| Increase (decrease) in current-period revenues |  |
Volume/other (a) | 4.9 | % |  |
Impact due to sale of Surgical Instrumentation platform | (0.9) | % |  |
Pricing | 0.3 | % |  |
Foreign currency translation | (0.6) | % |  |
Acquisitions and other (b) | (1.4) | % |  |
Increase in revenues from the prior-year period | 2.3 | % |  |

(a) Volume/other includes revenues attributable to products, services and licensing.
(b)Represents the recognition of accruals resulting from recent developments relating to the Italian government medical device pay back legislation, as well as another legal matter, and which substantially relate to years prior to the current fiscal year.
Cash flows from continuing operating activities were $2.666 billion in the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. At June 30, 2024, we had $5.338 billion in cash and equivalents and short-term investments, including restricted cash. This balance included net proceeds from debt issued in our third quarter of fiscal year 2024 to fund the cash consideration payable upon our acquisition of Critical Care, as further discussed above and in Note 9 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We continued to return value to our shareholders in the form of dividends. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, we paid cash dividends to common shareholders of $825 million.
Each reporting period, we face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our worldwide operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that fluctuate from the beginning of such period. The third quarter fiscal year 2024 impact of foreign currency translation on our revenues is provided above and the impact on our earnings is provided further below. We evaluate our results of operations on both a reported and a foreign currency-neutral basis, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 prior periods. Foreign currency-neutral ("FXN") information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a foreign currency-neutral basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. 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. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Results on a foreign currency-neutral basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The effective income tax rate for the three-month period of fiscal year 2024 compared with the prior-year period primarily reflected the impact of favorable discrete items in the current-year period. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period of fiscal year 2024 compared with the prior-year period primarily reflected the impact of more favorable discrete items on the prior-period rate.
Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share
Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine-month periods of fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Nine months ended June 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Net Income (Millions of dollars) | $ | 487 |  |  | $ | 407 |  |  | $ | 1,305 |  |  | $ | 1,376 |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

| Nine months ended June 30,
(Millions of dollars) | 2024 |  | 2023
Net cash provided by (used for): |  |  |
Operating activities | $ | 2,666 |  |  | $ | 1,665 |
Investing activities | $ | (1,577) |  |  | $ | (853) |
Financing activities | $ | 1,963 |  |  | $ | (959) |

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2024 was largely driven by our net income, adjusted by a change in operating assets and liabilities that was a net use of cash. This net use of cash primarily reflected lower levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by lower levels of prepaid expenses. Cash flows from operating activities in 2024 additionally reflected a discretionary cash contribution of $150 million to fund our pension obligation.
Cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2023 reflected net income, adjusted by a change in operating assets and liabilities that was a net use of cash. This net use of cash primarily reflected lower levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as higher levels of inventory and trade receivables, partially offset by lower levels of prepaid expenses.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our investments in capital expenditures are focused on projects that enhance our cost structure and manufacturing capabilities, as well as support our BD 2025 strategy for growth and simplification. Net outflows from investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2024 included capital expenditure-related outflows of $429 million, compared with $580 million in the prior-year period. Current-period outflows from investing activities also included net purchases of investments, primarily in time deposits, of $830 million.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal years 2024 and 2023 included the following significant cash flows:

| Nine months ended June 30,
(Millions of dollars) | 2024 |  | 2023
Cash inflow (outflow) |  |  |
Change in short-term debt | $ | — |  |  | $ | 49 |
Proceeds from long-term debt | $ | 4,517 |  |  | $ | 1,662 |

Repurchases of common stock | $ | (500) |  |  | $ | — |
Dividends paid | $ | (825) |  |  | $ | (849) |

Certain measures relating to our total debt were as follows:

(Millions of dollars) | June 30, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
Total debt | $ | 19,324 |  |  | $ | 15,879 |
Weighted average cost of total debt | 3.4 | % |  | 3.0 | %
Total debt as a percentage of total capital* | 42.1 | % |  | 37.2 | %

* Represents shareholders’ equity, net non-current deferred income tax liabilities, and debt.
Cash and Short-Term Investments
At June 30, 2024, total worldwide cash and equivalents and short-term investments, including restricted cash, were approximately $5.338 billion and more than half of these assets were held in the United States. We regularly review the amount of cash and short-term investments held outside of the United States and our historical foreign earnings are used to fund foreign investments or meet foreign working capital and property, plant and equipment expenditure needs. To fund cash needs in the United States, we rely on ongoing cash flow from U.S. operations, access to capital markets and remittances from foreign subsidiaries of earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested.
Financing Facilities
We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in place which will expire in September 2027. The credit facility provides borrowings of up to $2.750 billion, with separate sub-limits of $100 million and $194 million for letters of credit and swingline loans, respectively. The expiration date of the credit facility may be extended for up to one additional one-year period, subject to certain restrictions (including the consent of the lenders). The credit facility provides that we may, subject to additional commitments by lenders, request an additional $500 million of financing, for a maximum aggregate commitment under the credit facility of up to $3.250 billion. Proceeds from this facility may be used for general corporate purposes and Becton Dickinson Euro Finance S.à r.l., an indirect, wholly-owned finance subsidiary of BD, is authorized as an additional borrower under the credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2024.
The agreement for our revolving credit facility contains the following financial covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants, as applicable, as of June 30, 2024.
•We are required to have a leverage coverage ratio of no more than:
◦4.25-to-1 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter following the closing of the credit facility; or
◦4.75-to-1 for the four full fiscal quarters following the consummation of a material acquisition.
32

We may access commercial paper programs over the normal course of our business activities. Our U.S. and multicurrency euro commercial paper programs provide for a maximum amount of unsecured borrowings under the two programs, in aggregate, of $2.750 billion. Proceeds from these programs may be used for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions, share repurchases and repayments of debt. We had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2024. We have additional informal lines of credit outside the United States. Also, over the normal course of our business activities, we transfer certain trade receivable assets to third parties under factoring agreements. Additional disclosures regarding sales of trade receivable assets are provided in Note 13 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Access to Capital and Credit Ratings
Our corporate credit ratings with Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) at June 30, 2024 were unchanged compared with our ratings at September 30, 2023.
Lower corporate debt ratings and downgrades of our corporate credit ratings or other credit ratings may increase our cost of borrowing. We believe that given our debt ratings, our financial management policies, our ability to generate cash flow and the non-cyclical, geographically diversified nature of our businesses, we would have access to additional short-term and long-term capital should the need arise. A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings can be revised upward or downward at any time by a rating agency if such rating agency decides that circumstances warrant such a change.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We continually evaluate our accounts receivables for potential credit losses, particularly those resulting from sales to government-owned or government-supported healthcare facilities in certain countries, as payment may be dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries’ national economies. In addition to continually evaluating all governmental receivables for potential credit losses based upon historical loss experiences, we also evaluate such receivables based upon the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices. We believe the current reserves related to all governmental receivables are adequate and that these receivables will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or liquidity.
To date, we have not experienced a significant increased risk of credit losses in general as a result of current macroeconomic conditions. No assurances can be given that the risk of credit losses will not increase in the future given the uncertainty around the duration of the current macroeconomic challenges and pressures.
Other Matters
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.
Regulatory Matters
FDA Warning Letter
On January 11, 2018, BD received a Warning Letter from the FDA with respect to our former BD Preanalytical Systems ("PAS") unit, citing certain alleged violations of quality system regulations and of law. The Warning Letter states that, until BD resolves the outstanding issues covered by the Warning Letter, the FDA will not approve any premarket submissions for Class III devices to which the non-conformances are reasonably related or grant requests for certificates to foreign governments. BD has worked closely with the FDA and implemented corrective actions to address the quality management system concerns identified in the Warning Letter. In March 2020, the FDA conducted a subsequent inspection of PAS, which it classified as Voluntary Action Indicated, which means the FDA will not take or recommend any administrative or regulatory action as a result of the unit’s response to the observations associated with the quality management concerns in the inspection. BD continues to work with the FDA to generate additional clinical evidence and file 510(k)s as remaining commitments associated with the Warning Letter. As of June 30, 2024, BD has received seven clearances. The FDA review of these remaining commitments is ongoing, and no assurances can be given regarding further action by the FDA as a result of these commitments, including but not limited to action pursuant to the Warning Letter.
Ethylene Oxide/Sterilization
On October 28, 2019, BD entered into a consent order with the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (the “EPD”), following the filing of a complaint and motion for temporary restraining order by the EPD seeking to enjoin BD from continuing sterilization operations at its Covington, Georgia facility. Under the terms of the consent order, which has been amended two times upon mutual agreement of BD and EPD, BD voluntarily agreed to a nu mber of operational changes at its Covington and Madison, Georgia facilities, as well as at its distribution center in Covington, designed
33

to further reduce ethylene oxide emissions, including but not limited to operating at a reduced capacity until successful implementation of fugitive emission control technology, ongoing ambient air monitoring and operational controls at such facilities. Following submission of data relating to the implementation of these operational changes, BD was permitted to return to normal operations in December 2021 at its facilities in Georgia in accordance with the operating conditions set forth in its permit applications. The final air permits for (i) the Covington and Madison facilities and (ii) the Covington distribution center were issued by the EPD on May 5, 2023 and July 2, 2024, respectively.
At a broader level, there is increased focus on the use and emission of ethylene oxide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and state environmental regulatory agencies. Additional regulatory requirements associated with the use and emission of ethylene oxide may be imposed in the future, either domestically or outside the U.S. Ethylene oxide is the most frequently used sterilant for medical devices and healthcare products in the U.S., and in certain cases is the only option to sterilize critical medical device products for the safe administration to patients. Any such increased regulation could require BD or sterilization service providers, including providers used by BD, to temporarily suspend operations to install additional emissions control technology, limit the use of ethylene oxide or take other actions, which would impact BD’s operations and further reduce the available capacity to sterilize medical devices and healthcare products, and could also result in additional costs. To this end, BD has proactively installed fugitive emissions controls at our facilities in East Columbus, NE and Sandy, UT.
On April 5, 2024, the final National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (“NESHAP”): Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standards for Sterilization Facilities regulation issued by the EPA became effective. Companies generally have two years from the effective date to comply with the new requirements of the NESHAP. We are reviewing the details of the final NESHAP regulation to determine the full impact to BD’s operations, including implementation of any changes necessary to ensure compliance by the deadline.
In addition, on April 13, 2023, the EPA published a Pesticide Registration Review: Proposed Interim Decision and Draft Risk Assessment Addendum for Ethylene Oxide (“PID”). The EPA has not yet finalized the PID, which regulates the use of ethylene oxide as a sterilant and is intended to mitigate any human health and environmental risks associated with its use. We cannot predict what the final PID adopted by the EPA may require and therefore we are not able to assess the impact on our sterilization facilities, on the third-party sterilization facilities that BD utilizes and our operations more generally.
If any new or existing regulatory requirements or rulemaking result in the suspension, curtailment or interruption of sterilization operations at BD or at medical device sterilizers used by BD, or otherwise limit the availability of third-party sterilization capacity, this could interrupt or otherwise adversely impact production of certain of our products or lead to civil litigation or other claims against BD. BD has business continuity plans in place to mitigate the impact of any such disruptions, although these plans may not be able to fully offset such impact, for the reasons noted above.
Consent Decree with FDA
As previously reported, our BD Alaris TM infusion pump organizational unit is operating under an amended consent decree entered into by CareFusion (the “Consent Decree”) that includes all infusion pumps manufactured by or for CareFusion 303, Inc., the organizational unit that manufactures and sells BD Alaris TM infusion pumps in the United States.
Following an inspection that began in March 2020 of our Medication Management Systems facility (CareFusion 303, Inc.) in San Diego, California, the FDA issued to BD a Form 483 Notice (the “Form 483 Notice”) that contained a number of observations of non-conformance with the FDA’s quality system regulations. In December 2021, the FDA issued to CareFusion 303, Inc. a letter of non-compliance with respect to the Consent Decree (the “Non-Compliance Letter”) stating that, among other things, it had determined that certain of BD’s corrective actions with respect to the Form 483 Notice appeared to be adequate, some were still in progress such that adequacy could not be determined yet, and certain others were not adequate (e.g., complaint handling and corrective and preventive actions (“CAPA”), design verification and medical device reporting). Per the terms of the Non-Compliance Letter, CareFusion 303, Inc. provided the FDA with a proposed comprehensive corrective action plan and has retained an independent expert to conduct periodic audits of the CareFusion 303, Inc. infusion pump facilities through 2025. CareFusion 303, Inc. will update its corrective action plan to address any observations that may arise during the course of these audits. The FDA’s review of the items raised in the Form 483 Notice and Non-Compliance Letter remains ongoing, and no assurances can be given regarding further action by the FDA as a result of the observations, including but not limited to action pursuant to the Consent Decree, or that corrective actions proposed by CareFusion 303, Inc. will be adequate to address these observations. Additionally, we cannot currently predict the amount of additional monetary investment that will be incurred to resolve this matter or the matter’s ultimate impact on our business.
The Consent Decree authorizes the FDA, in the event of any violations in the future, to order us to cease manufacturing and distributing infusion pumps, recall products and take other actions. We may be required to pay damages of $15,000 per day per violation if we fail to comply with any provision of the Consent Decree, up to $15 million per year.
34

We may be obligated to pay more costs in the future because, among other things, the FDA may determine that we are not fully compliant with the Consent Decree and Non-Compliance Letter and therefore impose penalties under the Consent Decree, and/or we may also be subject to future proceedings and litigation relating to the matters addressed in the Consent Decree, including, but not limited to, additional fines, penalties, other monetary remedies, and expansion of the terms of the Consent Decree. As of June 30, 2024, we do not believe that a loss is probable in connection with the Consent Decree, and accordingly, we have no accruals associated with compliance with the Consent Decree.
As previously disclosed, on July 21, 2023, BD received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its updated BD Alaris™ Infusion System, which enables both remediation and a return to market for the BD Alaris™ Infusion System. This clearance covers updated hardware features for Point-of-Care Unit (PCU), large volume pumps, syringe pumps, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps, respiratory monitoring and auto-identification modules. It also covers a new BD Alaris™ Infusion System software version with enhanced cybersecurity, along with interoperability features that enable smart, connected care with electronic medical record systems. To address all open recalls and ensure all devices at customer sites are running the most recent version of the BD Alaris™ Infusion System Software, all of the current BD Alaris™ Infusion System devices in the U.S. market will be remediated or replaced with the updated 510(k) cleared version over the next several years.
For further discussion of risks relating to the regulations to which we are subject, see Part I, Item 1A, of our 2023 Annual Report.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. BD and its representatives may also, from time to time, make certain forward-looking statements in publicly released materials, both written and oral, including statements contained in filings with the SEC, press releases, and our reports to shareholders. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations and financial performance (including volume growth, pricing, sales and earnings per share growth, and cash flows) and statements regarding our strategy for growth, liquidity, future product development, regulatory approvals, competitive position and expenditures. All statements that address our future operating performance or events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are, and will be, based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events, developments and operating performance, and speak only as of their dates. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Furthermore, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law or regulations.
The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements. For further discussion of certain of these factors, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
•General global, regional or national economic downturns and macroeconomic trends, including heightened inflation, capital market volatility, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, and economic slowdown or recession, that may result in unfavorable conditions that could negatively affect demand for our products and services, impact the prices we can charge for our products and services, disrupt our transportation networks or other aspects of our supply chain, impair our ability to produce our products, or increase borrowing costs.
•The impact of inflation and disruptions in our global supply chain on BD and our suppliers (particularly sole-source suppliers and providers of sterilization services), including fluctuations in the cost and availability of oil-based resins and other raw materials, as well as certain components, used in the production or sterilization of our products, transportation constraints, disruptions and delays, product shortages, energy shortages or increased energy costs, labor shortages or disputes, and increased operating and labor costs.
•Conditions in international markets, including social and political conditions, geopolitical developments such as the continuation and/or escalation of the evolving situations in Ukraine, the Middle East and Asia, civil unrest, terrorist activity, governmental changes, restrictions on the ability to transfer capital across borders, economic sanctions, export controls, tariffs and other protectionist measures, barriers to market participation (such as local company and products preferences), difficulties in protecting and enforcing our intellectual property rights, and governmental expropriation of assets. Our international operations also increase our compliance risks, including risks under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption and bribery laws, as well as regulatory and privacy laws.
35

•Competitive factors that could adversely affect our operations, including new product introductions and technologies (for example, new forms of drug delivery or novel medical therapies) by our current or future competitors, consolidation or strategic alliances among healthcare companies, distributors and/or payers of healthcare to improve their competitive position or develop new models for the delivery of healthcare, increased pricing pressure due to the impact of low-cost manufacturers, patents attained by competitors (particularly as patents on our products expire), new entrants into our markets and changes in the practice of medicine.
•Cost-containment efforts in the U.S. or in other countries in which we do business, such as alternative payment reform, government-imposed pay back provisions, increased use of competitive bidding and tenders, including, without limitation, any expansion of the volume-based procurement process in China or the implementation of similar cost-containment efforts.
•Changes in the way healthcare services are delivered, including transition of more care from acute to non-acute settings and increased focus on chronic disease management, which may affect the demand for our products and services. Additionally, budget constraints and staffing shortages, particularly shortages of nursing staff, may affect the prioritization of healthcare services, which could also impact the demand for certain of our products and services.
•Our ability to achieve our projected level or mix of product sales, as our earnings forecasts are based on projected sales volumes and pricing of many product types, some of which are more profitable than others.
•Changes in the coverage or reimbursement landscape, or adverse decisions relating to our products by governments or third-party payers, which could reduce demand for our products or the price we can charge for such products.
•Product efficacy or safety concerns or non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding our products (such as non-compliance of our products with registration requirements resulting from modifications to such products, or other factors, including with respect to BD Alaris™ pumps and related sets and BD Vacutainer TM) resulting in product holds or recalls, regulatory action on the part of the FDA or foreign counterparts (including restrictions on future product clearances and civil penalties), declining sales, product liability or other claims and damage to our reputation. As a result of the CareFusion acquisition, our U.S. infusion pump business is operating under a Consent Decree with the FDA. The Consent Decree authorizes the FDA, in the event of any violations in the future, to order our U.S. infusion pump business to cease manufacturing and distributing products, recall products or take other actions, and order the payment of significant monetary damages if the business subject to the decree fails to comply with any provision of the Consent Decree. In accordance with our commitments to the FDA, the overall timing of replacement or remediation of the BD Alaris™ Infusion Systems and return to market in the U.S. may be impacted by, among other things, customer readiness, supply continuity and our continued engagement with the FDA.
•Risks relating to our overall level of indebtedness, including our ability to service our debt and refinance our indebtedness, which is dependent upon the capital markets and the overall macroeconomic environment and our financial condition at such time.
•Changes in the domestic and foreign healthcare industry, in medical practices or in the preference of healthcare consumers that result in a reduction in procedures using our products or increased pricing pressures, including cost-reduction measures instituted by and the continued consolidation among healthcare providers.
•The effects of regulatory or other events (such as public health crises) that adversely impact our supply chain, including our ability to manufacture (including sterilize) our products (particularly where production of a product line or sterilization operations are concentrated in one or more plants), source materials or components or services from suppliers (including sole-source suppliers) that are needed for such manufacturing (including sterilization), or provide products to our customers, including events that impact key distributors. In particular, there has been increased regulatory focus on the use and emission of ethylene oxide in sterilization processes, and additional regulatory requirements may be imposed in the future that could adversely impact BD or our third-party sterilization providers.
•Information and technology system disruptions, including disruptions caused by security breaches, which could impair our ability or that of our customers, suppliers and other business partners to conduct business, result in the loss of BD trade secrets or otherwise compromise sensitive information of BD or its customers, suppliers and other business partners, or of patients, including sensitive personal data, or result in product efficacy or safety concerns for certain of our products, and result in actions by regulatory bodies or civil litigation.
•Difficulties inherent in product development, including the potential inability to successfully continue technological innovation, successfully complete clinical trials, obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and registrations in the U.S. and abroad, obtain intellectual property protection for our products, obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement for new products, or gain and maintain market approval of products, as well as the possibility of infringement claims by competitors with respect to patents or other intellectual property rights, all of which could preclude or delay
36

commercialization of a product. Delays in obtaining necessary approvals or clearances from the FDA or other regulatory agencies or changes in the regulatory process may also delay product launches and increase development costs.
•Deficit reduction efforts or other actions that reduce the availability of government funding for healthcare and research, which could weaken demand for our products and result in additional pricing pressures, as well as create potential collection risks associated with such sales.
•Fluctuations in university or U.S. and international governmental funding and policies for life sciences research.
•The impact of business combinations or divestitures, including any volatility in earnings relating to acquisition-related costs, and our ability to successfully integrate any business we may acquire.
•Any impact that public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, including COVID-19, may have on our business, the global economy and the global healthcare system. This may include decreases in the demand for our products, disruptions to our operations or the operations of our suppliers and customers, disruptions to our supply chain, or increases in transportation costs.
•The impact of changes in U.S. federal or foreign laws and policies that could affect fiscal and tax policies, taxation (including tax reforms, such as the implementation of a global minimum tax, that could adversely impact multinational corporations), and international trade, including import and export regulation and international trade agreements. In particular, tariffs, sanctions or other trade barriers imposed by the U.S. or other countries could adversely impact our supply chain costs or otherwise adversely impact our results of operations.
•The risks associated with the qualification of the spin-off of our former Diabetes Care business as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
•Our ability to penetrate or expand our operations in emerging markets, which depends on local economic and political conditions, and how well we are able to make necessary infrastructure enhancements to production facilities and distribution networks.
•Our ability to recruit and retain key employees and the impact of labor conditions which could increase employee turnover or increase our labor and operating costs and negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate our business.
•Fluctuations in the demand for products we sell to pharmaceutical companies that are used to manufacture, or are sold with, the products of such companies, as a result of funding constraints, consolidation or otherwise.
•The impact of climate change, or legal, regulatory or market measures to address climate change, such as regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, zero-carbon energy and sustainability mandates, and additional taxes on fuel and energy, and changing customer preferences and requirements, such as those regarding the use of materials of concern, increased demand for products with lower environmental footprints, and for companies to set and demonstrate progress against greenhouse gas reduction plans and targets.
•Natural disasters, including the impacts of hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, fires, earthquakes and floods and other extreme weather events, global health pandemics, war, terrorism, labor disruptions and international conflicts that could cause significant economic disruption and political and social instability, resulting in decreased demand for our products, adversely affect our manufacturing and distribution capabilities or cause interruptions in our supply chain.
•Pending and potential future litigation or other proceedings asserting, and/or investigations concerning and/or subpoenas and requests seeking information with respect to, alleged violations of law (including in connection with federal and/or state healthcare programs (such as Medicare or Medicaid) and/or sales and marketing practices (such as investigative subpoenas and the civil investigative demands received by BD)), potential anti-corruption and related internal control violations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, antitrust claims, securities law claims, product liability (which may involve lawsuits seeking class action status or seeking to establish multi-district litigation proceedings, including pending claims relating to our hernia repair implant products, surgical continence products for women, vena cava filter products and implantable ports), claims with respect to environmental matters, data privacy breaches and patent infringement, and the availability or collectability of insurance relating to any such claims.
•New or changing laws and regulations affecting our domestic and foreign operations, or changes in enforcement practices, including, without limitation, laws relating to sales practices, environmental protection and reporting, price controls, privacy, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and licensing and regulatory requirements for new products and products in the post-marketing phase. In particular, the U.S. and other countries may impose new requirements regarding registration, labeling or prohibited materials that may require us to re-register products already on the market or otherwise impact our ability to market our products. Environmental laws, particularly with respect to the emission of greenhouse gases, are also becoming more stringent throughout the world, which may increase our costs of operations or necessitate changes in our manufacturing plants or processes or those of our suppliers, or result in liability to BD.
37

•The effect of adverse media exposure or other publicity regarding BD’s business or operations, including the effect on BD’s reputation or demand for its products.
•The effect of market fluctuations on the value of assets in BD’s pension plans and on actuarial interest rate and asset return assumptions, which could require BD to make additional contributions to the plans or increase our pension plan expense.
•Our ability to obtain the anticipated benefits of restructuring programs, if any, that we may undertake.
•Issuance of new or revised accounting standards by the FASB or the SEC.
The foregoing list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could impact our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.
