BD (NYSE: BDX) reported fiscal Q3 2026 revenue of $4.983 billion, up 5.4% as reported and 4.4% FX-neutral. GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $1.64 (up 4.5%), and adjusted diluted EPS was $3.23 (up 4.9%).

Year-to-date, cash from continuing operations reached $2.1 billion (+33.3%) and free cash flow $1.7 billion (+44.6%). All four segments grew mid-single digits, led by BioPharma Systems and Interventional. Following the February 2026 spin-off of its Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions business to combine with Waters, BD now reports four segments on a continuing-operations basis.

BD updated full-year 2026 guidance, maintaining low single-digit plus GAAP revenue growth and low single-digit FX-neutral revenue growth, while raising the midpoint of adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $12.62–$12.72 from $12.52–$12.72, reflecting ongoing momentum in its “New BD” MedTech-focused portfolio.

Key Terms

4 terms
non-gaap financial measures financial
"This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
adjusted diluted earnings per share financial
"These include revenue growth rates on a currency-neutral basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share"
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is the company’s net profit per share after accounting for potential extra shares (from options or convertible securities) and removing one‑time or unusual items so the number reflects ongoing business results. Think of it like timing a runner’s steady pace after excluding a few unexpected stops; it gives investors a clearer view of sustainable profit available to each share. Investors use it to compare companies and judge underlying profitability and valuation without short‑term distortions.
free cash flow financial
"These include revenue growth rates on a currency-neutral basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
View in glossary
foreign currency-neutral basis financial
"We also present our revenue growth for our 2026 fiscal year after adjusting for the illustrative impact"
A foreign currency-neutral basis is a way of reporting financial results that removes the effect of changes in exchange rates so figures show what performance would have been if currency rates had stayed the same. It helps separate a company’s underlying operations from gains or losses caused by fluctuating foreign currencies, like looking at a business through a window that filters out currency noise. Investors use it to compare underlying trends across periods or regions without exchange-rate swings distorting the picture.

2Effective October 1, 2025, the company reorganized its organizational units into five distinct, separately-managed segments, which were based on the nature of the company's product and service offerings. Subsequent to the spin-off of the company's former Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions business and the combination of the business with Waters, the Life Sciences segment was eliminated, leaving the Company with four distinct, separately-managed segments. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the reorganization on a continuing operations basis.

BD's guidance for full year fiscal 2026 reflects numerous assumptions that could affect its business, based on the information management has reviewed as of this date. Management will discuss its guidance and several of its assumptions on its third fiscal quarter earnings call. 

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

Conference Call and Presentation Materials
BD will host an audio webcast today for the public, investors, analysts and news media to discuss its third quarter results. The audio webcast will be broadcast live on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors, at 8 a.m. (ET) Thursday, August 6, 2026. Accompanying slides will be available on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors at approximately 6:30 a.m. (ET). The conference call will be available for replay on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors. Alternatively, you can dial into the replay at 800-688-9445 (domestic) and 402-220-1371 (international) through the close of business on Thursday, August 13, 2026. A confirmation number is not needed to access the replay.

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

We present adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, and the corresponding prior periods, after eliminating items we believe are not part of our ordinary operations and affect the comparability of the periods presented. Adjusted diluted earnings per share includes adjustments for the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, integration and restructuring costs, transaction costs, separation-related costs, certain product remediation costs, certain legal matters, certain investment gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, certain pension settlement costs, and the impact of the extinguishment of debt. 

We also present revenue growth rates for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 over the corresponding prior periods on a currency-neutral basis after eliminating the effect of foreign currency translation, where applicable. We also show the growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share compared to the prior year periods after eliminating the impact of foreign currency translation to further enable investors to evaluate BD's underlying earnings performance compared to the prior period. We calculate foreign currency-neutral percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a foreign currency-neutral basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors' ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to the prior periods. 

We also present free cash flow for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 over the corresponding prior period, which is net cash provided by continuing operating activities less capital expenditures, to provide a view of the Company's ability to generate cash for use in acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures given that we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. We believe the presentation of results of free cash flow in addition to reported results helps improve investors' ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to the prior period.

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

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

This press release and accompanying audio webcast on August 6, 2026 contain certain estimates and other forward-looking statements (as defined under federal securities laws) regarding BD's future prospects and performance, including, but not limited to, statements relating to future revenues, margins, earnings per share, leverage targets and capital deployment. All such statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions of BD and involve a number of business risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially from anticipated results described, implied or projected in any forward-looking statement. With respect to such forward-looking statements, a number of factors could cause actual results to vary materially. These factors include, but are not limited to, risks relating to macroeconomic conditions and their impact on our operations and healthcare spending generally, including volatility resulting from the imposition of (and changing policies around) tariffs enacted by the U.S. government (and related countermeasures by non-U.S. governments), or our ability to mitigate the impact of such tariffs, including developments regarding refunds of certain tariffs and/or the collection of remaining refunds of certain tariffs; import or export licensing requirements and other governmental restrictions; reductions in U.S. government funding for healthcare, disruptions in global transportation networks or other aspects of our supply chain on our ability to source raw materials, components and energy sources needed to produce our products; inflationary pressures, currency and interest rate fluctuations, global oil prices and increased borrowing costs; conditions in international markets, including geopolitical developments such as the continuation and/or escalation of evolving situations in Iran and the Middle East region (which could result in continued disruption of transportation lanes and global energy supplies, as well as increases in global oil prices and adversely affect our supply chain costs, ability to source raw materials and components and our ability to deliver product to customers), Ukraine and Asia; competitive factors, including changing customer and patient preferences and requirements, such as decreased demand for our products as a result of changes to U.S. federal and state policies (such as for pharmaceutical products and vaccines), and increased demand for products utilizing evolving technologies (including emerging technologies utilizing artificial intelligence ("AI")), as well as new products or novel medical therapies introduced by competitors; changes in research and development efforts, investment or suspension by pharmaceuticals companies with regard to vaccine development; changes in reimbursement practices and coverage policies and third-party payer cost containment measures and health insurance coverage levels and costs; decreases or delays in purchases of our products due to reduced research and development spending; product efficacy or safety concerns and related regulatory actions, changes to the labeled indications or permitted uses of our products, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding our products, including marketing authorization, registration, quality system and manufacturing requirements (including as a result of product modifications), or other factors that could result in product recalls, field actions, lost revenue, restrictions on our ability to continue selling existing products or commercialize new products (including limitations on future product clearances or approvals and the imposition of civil penalties); increased exposure to product liability or other claims and damage to our reputation (including products we acquire through acquisitions); changes to legislation or regulations that may impact U.S. or foreign healthcare systems, changes in medical or clinical practices or in customer and patient preferences, efforts to improve compliance of healthcare practitioners, potential cuts or freezes in healthcare spending and/or governmental or private measures to contain healthcare costs, such as China's volume-based procurement tender process or changes in pricing and reimbursement policies, which could result in reduced demand for our products or downward pricing pressure; policy and regulatory changes that may be implemented by the U.S. government, including the further elimination, downsizing and/or reduced funding of certain government agencies and programs, as well as further changes in the policy positions of such agencies (including those related to pharmaceutical products and vaccines); other new or changing laws and regulations impacting our business, including changes in tax laws, new and changing environmental laws and regulations (such as those related to sustainability, climate change or materials of concern) and new and changing cybersecurity, AI or privacy laws; other changes in laws impacting international trade or anti-corruption and bribery, or changes in reporting requirements or enforcement practices with respect to such laws; the adverse impact on our business or products of past, current or future information and technology system disruptions, breaches or breakdowns, including through cyberattacks, ransom attacks or cyber-intrusion, and any investigations, legal proceedings, liability, expense or reputational damage arising in connection with any such events; any adverse impact related to the development, deployment and use of AI in our products and business operations; labor disruptions; our suppliers' ability to provide products needed for our operations and BD's ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships; increases in raw material, component, labor, duties, freight, energy and other production costs and their effect on, among other things, the cost of producing BD's products; adverse changes in regional, national or foreign economic conditions, including any impact on our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations; risks relating to our overall indebtedness; the possible impact of natural disasters and public health crises on our business and the global healthcare system, which could decrease demand for our products, disrupt our operations or the operations of our customers and companies within our supply chain, or increase transportation costs; interruptions in our manufacturing or sterilization processes or those of our third-party providers, including any restrictions placed on the use of ethylene oxide for sterilization; pricing and market pressures; difficulties inherent in product development, delays in product introductions and uncertainty of market acceptance of new products; the overall timing of the replacement or remediation of the BD Alaris™ Infusion System and return to market in the U.S., which may be impacted by, among other things, customer readiness, supply continuity and our continued engagement with the FDA; our ability to achieve our projected level or mix of product sales; our ability to achieve or maintain growth of our portfolio; our ability to successfully integrate any businesses we acquire; uncertainties of litigation, investigations, regulatory actions, subpoenas, settlements, fines, penalties and/or other sanctions (as described in BD's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")); the issuance of new or revised accounting standards; our ability to execute our New BD strategy, Excellence Unleashed, as expected; and other factors discussed in BD's filings with the SEC. Tariff commentary is based on tariff policies in effect as of August 5, 2026. International trade policies, trade restrictions and tariffs (and related countermeasures and developments regarding refunds of certain tariffs) are rapidly evolving and there can be no assurance as to how the landscape may change and what the ultimate impact on our guidance and results of operations will be. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof except as required by applicable laws or regulations.
