PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Becton, Dickinson and Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
New Jersey in November 1906, as successor to a New York business started in
1897. Its executive offices are located at 1 Becton Drive, Franklin Lakes, New
Jersey 07417-1880 and its telephone number is (201) 847-6800. All references
herein to "the Company" refer to Becton, Dickinson and Company and its domestic
and foreign subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated by the context.
The Company is engaged principally in the manufacture and sale of a broad
line of medical supplies and devices and diagnostic systems used by health care
professionals, medical research institutions and the general public.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
The Company's operations consist of two worldwide business segments: Medical
Supplies and Devices, and Diagnostic Systems. The countries in which the
Company has local revenue-generating operations have been combined into the
following geographic areas: United States (including Puerto Rico); Europe; and
Other (which is comprised of Canada, Latin America, Japan and Asia Pacific).
Information with respect to revenues, operating income and identifiable
assets attributable to each of the Company's business segments and geographic
areas of operation, as well as capital expenditures and depreciation and
amortization attributable to each of the Company's business segments, appears
on pages 30-31 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1995 (the "1995 Annual Report"), and is incorporated
herein by reference.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND DEVICES SEGMENT
The major products in this segment are hypodermic products, specially
designed devices for diabetes care, prefillable drug delivery systems, vascular
access products and surgical devices (including disposable scrubs, specialty
and surgical blades and pre-surgery patient prep kits).
This segment also includes specialty needles, drug infusion systems, elastic
support products, thermometers and contract packaging services. The Company's
contract packaging services are provided to pharmaceutical, cosmetic and
toiletry companies.
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS SEGMENT
The major products in this segment are classical and instrumented
microbiology products, blood collection products, instrumentation systems for
cellular analysis, including flow cytometry and cellular imaging products,
tissue culture labware, hematology instruments and other diagnostic systems.
DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES
The Company's radioimmunoassay business was sold in May 1995 and its medical
glove business in June 1995. The operating results of these businesses until
their respective dates of sale are reflected in the Consolidated Financial
Statements incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 13.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The Company's products are manufactured and sold worldwide. The principal
markets for the Company's products outside the United States are Europe, Japan,
Mexico, Asia Pacific, Canada and Brazil. The principal products sold by the
Company outside of the United States are hypodermic needles and syringes,
diagnostic systems, VACUTAINER (R) brand blood collection products, HYPAK (R)
brand prefillable syringe systems, and intravenous catheters. The Company has
manufacturing operations in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan,
Mexico, Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom, and in 1995 commenced
construction in China of a new hypodermic facility.
1
Foreign economic conditions and exchange rate fluctuations have caused the
profitability on foreign revenues to fluctuate more than on domestic revenues.
The Company believes its foreign business involves greater risk than its
domestic business due to the foregoing factors as well as local political and
governmental conditions.
REVENUES AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company's products and services are marketed in the United States both
through independent distribution channels and directly to end-users. The
Company's products are marketed outside the United States through independent
distributors and sales representatives, and in some markets directly to end-
users. Sales to a distributor, which supplies the Company's products to many
end-users, accounted for approximately 13% of total Company revenues in fiscal
1995, and were from both business segments. Order backlog is not material to
the Company's business inasmuch as orders for the Company's products are
generally received and filled on a current basis, except for items temporarily
out of stock. Substantially all revenue is recognized when products are shipped
to customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company conducts its research and development activities at its operating
units, its Research Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and in
collaboration with selected universities and medical centers. The Company also
retains individual consultants to support its efforts in specialized fields.
The Company spent $144,201,000 on research and development during the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1995 and $144,227,000 and $139,141,000, respectively,
during the two immediately preceding fiscal years.
COMPETITION
A number of companies, some of which are more specialized than the Company,
compete in the medical technology field. In each such case, competition
involves only a part of the Company's product lines. Competition in the
Company's markets is based on a combination of factors including price,
quality, service, reputation, distribution and promotion. Ongoing investments
in research, quality management, quality and product improvement and
productivity improvement are required to maintain an advantage in the
competitive environments in which the Company operates.
New companies have entered the medical technology field and established
companies have diversified their business activities into this area. Other
firms engaged in the distribution of medical technology products have become
manufacturers as well. Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial
resources than the Company. The Company is also faced with competition from
products manufactured outside the United States.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
The Company owns numerous patents, patent applications and trademarks in the
United States and other countries. The Company is also licensed under domestic
and foreign patents, patent applications and trademarks owned by others. In the
aggregate, these patents, patent applications, trademarks and licenses are of
material importance to the Company's business.
RAW MATERIALS
The Company purchases many different types of raw materials including
plastics, glass, metals, yarn and yarn goods, paper products, agricultural
products, electronic and mechanical sub-assemblies and various biological,
chemical and petrochemical products. All but a few of the Company's principal
raw materials are available from multiple sources.
REGULATION
The Company's medical technology products and operations are subject to
regulation by the federal Food and Drug Administration and various other
federal and state agencies, as well as by a number of foreign governmental
agencies. The Company believes it is in compliance in all material
2
respects with the regulations promulgated by such agencies, and that such
compliance has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect
on its business.
The Company also believes that its operations comply in all material respects
with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Such compliance has not
had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 1995, the Company had approximately 18,100 employees, of
whom approximately 9,600 were employed in the United States. The Company
believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The executive offices of the Company are located in Franklin Lakes, New
Jersey. The Company owns and leases approximately 10,686,000 square feet of
manufacturing, warehousing, administrative and research facilities throughout
the world. The domestic facilities, including Puerto Rico, comprise
approximately 5,642,000 square feet of owned and 1,779,000 square feet of
leased space. The foreign facilities comprise approximately 2,248,000 square
feet of owned and 1,017,000 square feet of leased space. Sales offices and
distribution centers included in the total square footage are also located
throughout the world.
Operations in both of the Company's business segments are carried on at both
domestic and foreign locations. Primarily at foreign locations, facilities
often serve both business segments and are used for multiple purposes, such as
administrative/sales, manufacturing and/or warehousing/distribution. The
Company generally seeks to own its manufacturing facilities, although some are
leased. Most of the Company's administrative, sales and
warehousing/distribution facilities are leased.
The Company believes that its facilities are of good construction and in good
physical condition, are suitable and adequate for the operations conducted at
those facilities, and are, with minor exceptions, fully utilized and operating
at normal capacity.
The domestic facilities are grouped as follows:
--Eastern Sector includes facilities in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Puerto Rico and is comprised of approximately 3,680,000 square feet of
owned and 1,018,000 square feet of leased space.
--Central Sector includes facilities in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin and is comprised of
approximately 993,000 square feet of owned and 473,000 square feet of
leased space.

comprised of approximately 969,000 square feet of owned and 288,000

Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom
and is comprised of approximately 1,219,000 square feet of owned and
708,000 square feet of leased space.
--Latin America includes facilities in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay
and Panama and is comprised of approximately 629,000 square feet of owned
and 157,000 square feet of leased space.
3

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Becton, Dickinson and Company
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and related schedule of
Becton, Dickinson and Company listed in the accompanying index to financial
statements (Item 14(a)). These financial statements and related schedule are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and related schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and related
schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and related schedule. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index to
financial statements (Item 14(a)) present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Becton, Dickinson and Company at September
30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 1993 the Company
changed its methods of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions, postemployment benefits, and income taxes.
