Assumptions and Outlook for Full Year Fiscal 2025
The company provided the following guidance with respect to fiscal 2025.
The company updated its fiscal 2025 guidance to reflect strong operational performance in its fiscal first quarter and confidence in its full-year outlook. The company increased its Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to a range of $14.30 to $14.60 , which reflects growth of 10% at the midpoint. This reflects an operational increase of $0.175 compared to its previously issued guidance, which is enabling it to absorb the estimated impact of incremental translational foreign currency of $0.15 .
Fiscal 2025 Guidance as of February 5, 2025 Fiscal 2025 Guidance as of November 7, 2024
GAAP Revenues ~$21.7 to $21.9 billion ~$21.9 to $22.1 billion

Adjusted Revenue Growth (FXN) 8.8% to 9.3% 8.8% to 9.3%
Organic Revenue Growth (FXN) 4.0% to 4.5% 4.0% to 4.5%
Adjusted Diluted EPS $14.30 to $14.60 $14.25 to $14.60
Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth ~8.8% to 11.0% ~8.5% to 11.0%
BD's outlook for fiscal 2025 reflects numerous assumptions about many factors that could affect its business, based on the information management has reviewed as of this date. Management will discuss its outlook and several of its assumptions on its first fiscal quarter earnings call.
Conference Call and Presentation Materials BD will host an audio webcast tomorrow for the public, investors, analysts, and news media to discuss its first quarter results. The audio webcast will be broadcast live on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors at 8 a.m. (ET) Thursday, February 6, 2025. Accompanying slides are available on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors . The conference call will be available for replay on BD's website, www.bd.com/investors . Alternatively, you can dial into the replay at 800-839-2486 (domestic) and 402-220-7223 (international) through the close of business on Thursday, February 13, 2025 . A confirmation number is not needed to access the replay.
We present adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, 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, spin-off related costs, certain regulatory costs, certain product remediation costs, certain legal matters, certain investment gains and losses, certain asset impairment charges, and certain pension settlement costs. In particular, prior-year adjusted diluted earnings per share results exclude European regulatory initiative-related costs, which represent costs incurred to develop processes and systems to establish initial compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation and the European Union In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (collectively, the "New EU Medical Devices Regulations"), which represent a significant, unusual change to the existing regulatory framework. We consider the excluded European regulatory initiative-related costs to be duplicative of previously incurred costs and/or one-off costs related to establishing initial compliance with such regulatory regimes, and in each case are limited to a specific period of time. These expenses relate to establishing initial compliance with the New EU Medical Devices Regulations and include the cost of labor, other services and consulting (in particular, research and development and clinical trials) and supplies, travel and other miscellaneous costs. These costs were recorded in Cost of products sold and Research and development expense .
We also present revenue growth rates for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 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 periods. 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.
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.
