FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., May 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today reported quarterly revenues of $2.072 billion for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, representing an increase of 3.6 percent from the prior-year period, or 5.1 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis.
"We are pleased with our solid second quarter and year-to-date results," said Vincent A. Forlenza, Chairman, CEO and President. "Revenues were driven by the Medical segment and continued improvement in our Biosciences segment. This consistent performance demonstrates the breadth of the growth drivers across our businesses and regions, and highlights the diversity of our portfolio."
Second Quarter and Six-Month Fiscal 2014 Operating Results
Reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter were $1.45 compared with $1.39 in the prior-year period, representing a 4.3 percent increase. On a foreign currency-neutral basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter increased by 10.1 percent. Current quarter results include pre-tax charges for asset write-offs of $20 million, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, and contract termination costs of $11 million, or $0.04 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, partially offset by a pre-tax gain on investment of $8 million, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Excluding the net impact of these items, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.53. This represents an increase of 10.1 percent, or 15.8 percent on a currency-neutral basis.
For the six-month period ending March 31, 2014, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.82, compared with $2.74 in the prior-year period. This represents growth of 2.9 percent, or 9.1 percent on a currency-neutral basis. Excluding the first quarter incremental impact of the medical device excise tax, which went into effect in January 2013 under the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.94 compared with $2.74 in the prior-year period. This represents growth of 7.3 percent, or 13.5 percent on a currency-neutral basis.
Segment Results
In the BD Medical segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $1.116 billion, representing an increase of 5.1 percent compared with the prior-year period, or an increase of 6.3 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis. The segment's revenue growth reflects strong sales in the Diabetes Care unit and solid sales in the Medical Surgical Systems and Pharmaceutical Systems units.

In the BD Biosciences segment, worldwide revenues for the quarter were $302 million, representing an increase of 8.2 percent compared with the prior-year period, or an increase of 10.2 percent on a foreign currency-neutral basis.

Fiscal 2014 Outlook for Full Year
The Company reaffirms its previously communicated currency-neutral revenue guidance range of 4.5 to 5.0 percent. On a reported basis, the Company expects revenue growth of 4.0 to 4.5 percent.

This represents growth of 7.0 to 7.5 percent over 2013 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.81. On a foreign currency-neutral basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to grow about 10.0 to 10.5 percent, or 11.0 to 11.5 percent excluding the incremental impact of the medical device tax.
