                                Assumptions

    NEW YORK, July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bristol-Myers Squibb
Company (NYSE: BMY) today reported financial results for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2007 and raised earnings guidance for the
full year.
    Bristol-Myers Squibb posted second quarter 2007 net sales of $4.9
billion, an increase of 1% over the same period in 2006. The company
reported second quarter 2007 net earnings of $706 million, or $0.36 per
diluted share, under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP),
compared to $667 million, or $0.34 per diluted share for the same period in
2006. On a non- GAAP basis excluding specified items, second quarter 2007
net earnings were $726 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to
$680 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the same period in 2006.
Generic clopidogrel bisulfate in the distribution channels is substantially
depleted as reflected in the second quarter results.
    "Since stepping into the role of chief executive 10 months ago, I have
been struck by this organization's desire to help patients prevail over
serious disease, and encouraged by its continuing commitment to build
shareholder value. The results of the past quarter have continued building
that value," said James M. Cornelius, chief executive officer,
Bristol-Myers Squibb. "PLAVIX(R) reached $1 billion in quarterly sales in
the U.S., and the continuing outstanding work in our R&D organization
resulted in five new or supplemental drug applications accepted for U.S.
regulatory review, including three in oncology. Importantly, for both
Bristol-Myers Squibb and the research-based pharmaceutical industry, the
courts reinforced intellectual property rights by upholding the validity of
the PLAVIX(R) patent. And further enhancing our results, we continued to
remain focused on cost savings and reinvesting in our business."
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net sales decreased 1%,
including a 2% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $9.4 billion compared
with net sales of $9.5 billion for the same period in 2006. On a GAAP
basis, net earnings in the first six months of both 2007 and 2006 were $1.4
billion, while net earnings per diluted share in the first six months of
2007 were $0.71 compared to $0.70 for the same period in 2006. On a
non-GAAP basis, excluding specified items, Bristol-Myers Squibb reported
net earnings of $1.5 billion, or $0.74 per diluted share for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.3 billion, or $0.67 per diluted share
for the same period last year.
    COMMITMENT TO SHAREHOLDER VALUE
    Bristol-Myers Squibb increased its 2007 full-year GAAP and non-GAAP EPS
guidance to $1.35 to $1.45, reflecting anticipated continued strong
performance of several key products and continued focus on cost control.
The GAAP guidance also reflects an expected gain on sale of product assets
that will be classified as a specified item.
    "An important component of our ongoing strategic review process is the
transformation and streamlining of our company, which will help us maximize
the resources that support delivering the full value of our pipeline and
portfolio to shareholders. This transformation will include a comprehensive
cost reduction program, incremental to current efforts that will include
workforce reductions in some areas and the rationalization of some
facilities. We will provide more details of our plans later this year,"
said Mr. Cornelius. "We believe that our specialty pharmaceuticals focus,
our growing investment in biologics and commitment to reducing our cost
base will drive sales and earnings growth in the years ahead, and the
strength of our business will help support the dividend."
    The company will present a comprehensive overview of its strategy,
operations and pipeline at an investor meeting in December.
    Additional details and assumptions about the company's 2007 and 2008
guidance can be found on pages 9 through 11 of this release.
    NEW PRODUCT AND PIPELINE DEVELOPMENTS
    The company submitted applications to the U.S. and European regulatory
authorities seeking to change the recommended starting dose of SPRYCEL(TM)
to 100 mg once daily, from 70 mg twice daily, for patients with
chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistance or intolerance to
prior therapy including imatinib. In July, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) accepted the SPRYCEL(TM) supplemental New Drug
Application (sNDA) for priority review, and the Committee for Human
Medicinal Products of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) granted a
positive opinion on the company's submission. The target action date for
the SPRYCEL(TM) sNDA is mid-November, and a final EMEA decision is expected
by September.
    Two sNDAs for the atypical antipsychotic ABILIFY(R) were accepted by
the FDA for priority review for the treatment of pediatric patients (13-17
years old) with schizophrenia in June and for the treatment of adults with
major depressive disorder as adjunctive to antidepressant therapy in July.
    In June, the FDA accepted a New Drug Application (NDA) for the
investigational compound ixabepilone. The proposed indications for
ixabepilone are as a monotherapy to treat patients with metastatic or
locally advanced breast cancer after failure of an anthracycline, a taxane,
and capecitabine and in combination with capecitabine to treat patients
with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer after failure of an
anthracycline and a taxane. The NDA has been granted priority review, with
a target action date in late October 2007.
    In June, the FDA accepted a supplemental Biologics License Application
(sBLA) for ERBITUX(R). With this application, the company and ImClone
Systems Incorporated (ImClone) seek to include evidence of improved overall
survival in the product labeling for ERBITUX(R) in the third-line treatment
of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). If the sBLA is
approved, ERBITUX(R) would be the only biologic therapy to demonstrate
overall survival as a single agent in patients with mCRC. The ERBITUX(R)
sBLA has been granted a priority review, with a likely action date of early
October 2007.
    ORENCIA(R) was approved by the European Commission in May, and has
received approval and/or reimbursement in several European markets,
including the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands and
Denmark.
    The company and its partner AstraZeneca PLC (AstraZeneca) have decided
to move the investigational compound dapagliflozin, a selective inhibitor
of the sodium-glucose transporter 2 being studied for the treatment of
diabetes, into Phase III testing based on results of Phase II clinical
trials.
    SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

    -- Second quarter 2007 net sales increased 1% to $4.9 billion, including a
       2% favorable foreign exchange impact compared to the same period in
       2006.  U.S. net sales increased 1% to $2.8 billion for the quarter
       compared to 2006, due to the continued growth of our key products and
       sales of newer products, mostly offset by the impact of generic
       clopidogrel bisulfate and increased generic competition for PRAVACHOL.
       International net sales increased 2% to $2.1 billion, including a 5%
       favorable foreign exchange impact.

    -- Cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 31.4%
       in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 32.2% in the same period in
       2006.  In the second quarter of 2006, the company reclassified into
       cost of product sold, $24 million or 0.5% as a percentage of sales,
       certain costs which were reported in marketing, selling and
       administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2006.  In addition to
       the reclassification, the decrease was due primarily to sales growth of
       higher margin products.

    -- Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased by 2% to $1.2
       billion in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in
       2006, due to a 2% increase resulting from the reclassification of
       certain costs in 2006 mentioned above.

    -- Advertising and product promotion spending increased by 5% to $368
       million in the second quarter of 2007 from $352 million in the same
       period in 2006, driven primarily by increased investments in the
       nutritional business as well as product introduction costs related to
       international pharmaceuticals.

    -- Research and development expenses increased by 5% to $778 million in
       the second quarter of 2007 from $740 million in the same period in
       2006.  This increase primarily reflects higher licensing up-front and
       milestone payments and continued investments in late-stage compounds,
       partially offset by sharing of co-development costs with alliance
       partners AstraZeneca and Pfizer Inc.
    INCOME TAXES
    The effective income tax rate on earnings before minority interest and
income taxes was 22.2% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 23.1% in
the second quarter 2006.
    SPECIFIED ITEMS
    In the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the company recorded
specified income and expense items that affected the comparability of the
results.
    The pre-tax specified items in 2007 included:

    -- $20 million of charges related to accelerated depreciation and
       downsizing and streamlining of worldwide operations
    -- $17 million in upfront and milestone payments
    -- $14 million charge for increase in reserves related to the settlement
       of a litigation
    -- $26 million gain on sale of product assets

    The pre-tax specified items in 2006 included:

    -- $24 million in charges related to accelerated depreciation and
       downsizing and streamlining of worldwide operations
    -- $14 million income from a settlement of a litigation matter
    For additional information on specified items, see Appendix 1. Details
reconciling these non-GAAP amounts with GAAP amounts including specified
items are provided in supplemental materials available on the company's
website.
    PHARMACEUTICALS
    Worldwide pharmaceutical sales remained relatively constant at $3.9
billion in the second quarter of 2007, including a 2% favorable foreign
exchange impact, compared to the same period in 2006.
    U.S. pharmaceutical sales increased 2% to $2.2 billion in the second
quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, due to continued
growth of key products and sales of newer products BARACLUDE(R), ORENCIA(R)
and SPRYCEL(TM), partially offset by the impact of generic clopidogrel
bisulfate and increased generic competition for PRAVACHOL(R).
    International pharmaceutical sales decreased 3%, including a 5%
favorable foreign exchange impact, to $1.6 billion for the second quarter
of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease was due primarily
to a decline in PRAVACHOL(R) and TAXOL(R) sales resulting from increased
generic competition in Europe, partially offset by increased sales of newer
products including BARACLUDE(R), ABILIFY(R) and SPRYCEL(TM). The company's
reported international sales do not include copromotion sales reported by
its alliance partner, sanofi-aventis, for PLAVIX(R) and
AVAPRO(R)/AVALIDE(R), which continue to show growth in the second quarter
of 2007.
    Product Sales

    -- Sales of PLAVIX(R), a platelet aggregation inhibitor that is part of
       the company's alliance with sanofi-aventis, increased 4%, including a
       1% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $1,189 million in the second
       quarter of 2007 from $1,145 million in the same period in 2006.  Sales
       of PLAVIX(R) increased 3% in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2007 to
       $1,015 million from $988 million in the same period in 2006 primarily
       due to increased demand.  The company estimated the impact of the at-
       risk launch of generic clopidogrel bisulfate to be in the range of $50
       million to $100 million for the second quarter of 2007 as inventory of
       generic clopidogrel bisulfate in the distribution channels was
       substantially depleted at June 30, 2007.  Estimated total U.S.
       prescription demand for clopidogrel bisulfate (branded and generic)
       increased by 11% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2006, based
       on the revised methodology applied by IMS Health, which was issued on
       July 23, 2007.  Estimated total U.S. prescription demand for branded
       PLAVIX(R) increased by 1% in the same period.

    -- Sales of AVAPRO(R)/AVALIDE(R), an angiotensin II receptor blocker for
       the treatment of hypertension, also part of the sanofi-aventis
       alliance, increased 6%, including a 2% favorable foreign exchange
       impact, to $297 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $280 million
       in the same period in 2006.  U.S. sales increased 2% to $170 million in
       the second quarter of 2007 from $167 million in the same period in
       2006, primarily due to higher average net selling prices.  Estimated
       total U.S. prescription demand decreased approximately 2% compared to
       2006.  International sales increased 12%, including a 6% favorable
       foreign exchange impact, to $127 million compared to $113 million in
       the same period in 2006.

    -- Total revenue for ABILIFY(R), an antipsychotic agent for the treatment
       of schizophrenia, acute bipolar mania and bipolar disorder, increased
       27%, including a 2% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $412 million
       in the second quarter of 2007 from $324 million in the same period in
       2006.  U.S. sales increased 21% to $322 million in the second quarter
       2007 from $267 million in the same period in 2006, primarily due to
       higher demand and higher average net selling prices.  Estimated total
       U.S. prescription demand increased approximately 13% compared to the
       same period last year.  International sales increased 58%, including an
       11% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $90 million in the second
       quarter of 2007 from $57 million in the same period in 2006 due to
       continued growth across European markets.  Total revenue for ABILIFY(R)
       primarily consists of alliance revenue representing the company's 65%
       share of net sales in countries where it copromotes with Otsuka
       Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

    -- Sales of REYATAZ(R), a protease inhibitor for the treatment of human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV), increased 8%, including a 3% favorable
       foreign exchange impact, to $254 million in the second quarter of 2007
       from $236 million in the same period in 2006.  U.S. sales increased 13%
       to $138 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $122 million in the
       same period in 2006, primarily due to higher demand.  Estimated total
       U.S. prescription demand increased approximately 13% compared to 2006.
       International sales increased 2%, including a 6% favorable foreign
       exchange impact, to $116 million in the second quarter of 2007 from
       $114 million in the same period in 2006.

    -- Sales of ERBITUX(R), which is sold by the company almost exclusively in
       the U.S., decreased 6% to $162 million in the second quarter of 2007
       from $172 million in the same period in 2006, due to increased
       competition in the colorectal cancer market.  ERBITUX(R) is marketed by
       the company under a distribution and copromotion agreement with
       ImClone.

    -- Sales of the SUSTIVA(R) Franchise, a non-nucleoside reverse
       transcriptase inhibitor for the treatment of HIV, increased 21%,
       including a 3% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $233 million in
       the second quarter of 2007 from $193 million in the same period in
       2006.  U.S. sales increased 28% to $147 million in the second quarter
       of 2007 from $115 million in the same period in 2006, primarily due to
       higher demand.  Estimated total U.S. prescription growth increased
       approximately 25% compared to 2006.  International sales increased 10%,
       including a 7% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $86 million in the
       second quarter of 2007 from $78 million in the same period in 2006.
       Total revenue for the SUSTIVA(R) Franchise includes sales of SUSTIVA(R)
       as well as revenue from bulk efavirenz included in the combination
       therapy ATRIPLA(TM), which is sold through a joint venture with Gilead
       Sciences, Inc.

    -- Sales of BARACLUDE(R), an oral antiviral agent for the treatment of
       chronic hepatitis B, increased to $59 million in the second quarter of
       2007 from $14 million in the same period in 2006, due to continued
       growth across all markets.

    -- Sales of ORENCIA(R), a fusion protein indicated for adult patients with
       moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis launched in 2006, increased to
       $55 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $18 million in the same
       period in 2006.

    -- Sales for SPRYCEL(TM), an oral inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases,
       were $35 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $21 million
       in first quarter of 2007.  SPRYCEL(TM) was launched in the U.S. in July
       2006 and in certain European markets beginning in the fourth quarter of
       2006.
    HEALTH CARE GROUP
    The combined second quarter 2007 revenues from the Health Care Group
increased 6%, including a 3% favorable foreign exchange impact, to $1.1
billion compared to the same period in 2006.
    Nutritionals

    -- Worldwide Nutritional sales increased 7%, including a 3% favorable
       foreign exchange impact, to $620 million in the second quarter of 2007
       from $582 million in the same period in 2006.  U.S. Nutritional sales
       decreased 2% to $275 million in the second quarter of 2007, primarily
       due to decreased sales of infant formula and other pediatric
       nutritionals.  International Nutritional sales increased 15% to $345
       million in the second quarter of 2007, including a 6% favorable foreign
       exchange impact, primarily due to increased sales of toddlers and
       children's nutritional products and ENFAMIL(R), the company's best-
       selling infant formula.

    Other Health Care

    -- Worldwide ConvaTec sales increased 9%, including a 5% favorable foreign

       products increased 11%, including a 5% favorable foreign exchange
       impact, to $119 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $107 million
       in the same period in 2006, primarily due to continued growth of
       AQUACEL(R).

    -- Worldwide Medical Imaging sales increased 2% to $171 million in the
       second quarter of 2007 from $168 million in the same period in 2006.
    OUTLOOK FOR 2007 AND 2008
    Bristol-Myers Squibb raises its 2007 earnings guidance for fully
diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis to be between $1.35 and $1.45
from the previous guidance of $1.24 to $1.34. The company also raises its
2007 fully diluted earnings per share guidance on a non-GAAP basis to be
between $1.35 and $1.45 from the previous guidance of $1.30 to $1.40,
reflecting anticipated continued strong performance of several key products
and continued focus on cost control. In addition to these factors, the GAAP
guidance also reflects an expected gain on sale of product assets that will
be classified as a specified item.
    The non-GAAP guidance excludes specified items as discussed under "Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Information." Details reconciling adjusted non-GAAP
amounts with the amounts reflecting specified items are provided in
supplemental materials available on the company's website.
    The company estimates its 2008 earnings per share guidance for fully
diluted earnings per share on a fully diluted basis to be between $1.60 and
$1.70, subject to certain assumptions and specified items discussed below.
This guidance assumes, compared to 2007:
    -- mid to high single-digit revenue growth primarily from new and in-line
       products, partially offset by the decline of mature brands;

    -- slight improvement in gross margin;

    -- mid single-digit growth in research and development costs;

    -- all other operating expenses flat to 2007;  and

    -- effective tax rate will increase to the range of 22% to 24% in part due
       to a one-time benefit in 2007.
    The financial guidance for 2008 further assumes no significant
acquisitions or divestitures and that the company and its product partner,
sanofi-aventis, maintain exclusivity for the PLAVIX(R) patent through at
least 2008.
    The guidance does not include restructuring charges that cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time in connection with the company's
comprehensive cost reduction programs, including charges related to
workforce reductions and the rationalization of some facilities. Further,
the guidance excludes other specified items such as gains or losses from
sale of businesses and product lines; from sale of equity investments and
from discontinuations of operations; restructuring items that meet the
requirements of SFAS 112 for severance and SFAS 146 for other exit costs;
accelerated depreciation charges under SFAS 144 related to restructuring
items described above; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating
to significant legal proceedings; upfront and milestone payments for
in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory approval that
are immediately expensed; co-promotion or alliance charges and payments for
in-process research and development which under GAAP are immediately
expensed rather than amortized over the life of the agreement; income from
upfront and milestone payments that is immediately recognized for
out-licensing of products, including deferred income recognized upon
termination; and significant tax events.
    As previously disclosed, the composition of matter patent for
PLAVIX(R), which expires in 2011, is subject to litigation in the U.S. with
Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (Apotex). On June 19, 2007, the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York (District court) issued an
opinion and order upholding the validity and enforceability of the patent,
maintaining the main patent protection for PLAVIX(R) in the United States
until November 2011. The District court also ruled that Apotex's generic
clopidogrel bisulfate product infringed the patent and permanently enjoined
Apotex from engaging in any activity that infringes the patent, including
marketing its generic product in the United States until after the patent
expires. The amount of damages will be set at a later time. Apotex has
appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
    If Apotex were to prevail on appeal, the company could expect to face
renewed generic competition for PLAVIX(R) promptly thereafter. There are
other pending PLAVIX(R) patent litigations in the United States and in
other less significant markets for the product. The company continues to
believe that the PLAVIX(R) patents are valid and infringed, and with its
alliance partner, sanofi-aventis, is vigorously pursuing these cases.
    It is not possible at this time reasonably to assess the ultimate
outcome of the appeal by Apotex of the patent litigation or of the other
PLAVIX(R) patent litigations, or the timing of any renewed generic
competition for PLAVIX(R) from Apotex or additional generic competition for
PLAVIX(R) from other generic pharmaceutical companies. Loss of market
exclusivity of PLAVIX(R) and/or the development of sustained generic
competition would be material to the company's sales of PLAVIX(R), results
of operations and cash flows, and could be material to the company's
financial condition and liquidity. PLAVIX(R) is the company's largest
product by net sales, and U.S. net sales for PLAVIX(R) were $2.7 billion
and $3.2 billion in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
    This press release contains non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share
information adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses
and other specified items. Among the items in GAAP earnings but excluded
for purposes of determining adjusted earnings are: gains or losses from
sale of businesses and product lines; from sale or write-down of equity
investments and from discontinuations of operations; restructuring items
that meet the requirements of SFAS 112 for severance and SFAS 146 for other
exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges under SFAS 144 related to
restructuring items described above; asset impairments; charges and
recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront and milestone
payments for in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory
approval that are immediately expensed; co promotion or alliance charges
and payments for in-process research and development which under GAAP are

income from upfront and milestone payments that is immediately recognized
for out-licensing of products, including deferred income recognized upon
termination; costs of early debt retirement; and significant tax events.
This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding
of the company's past financial performance and prospects for the future.
For example, a non-GAAP earnings per share information is an indication of
the company's baseline performance before items that are considered by the
company to be not reflective of the company's ongoing results. In addition,
this information is among the primary indicators the company uses as a
basis for evaluating company performance, allocating resources, setting
incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future
periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with
GAAP.

rules and practices of managed care groups and institutional and
governmental purchasers), economic conditions such as interest rate and
currency exchange rate fluctuations, judicial decisions and governmental
laws and regulations related to Medicare, Medicaid and healthcare reform,
pharmaceutical rebates and reimbursement, claims and concerns that may
arise regarding the safety and efficacy of in-line products and product
candidates, changes to wholesaler inventory levels, changes in, variability
in data provided by third parties, and interpretation of, governmental
regulations and legislation affecting domestic or foreign operations,
including tax obligations, difficulties and delays in product development,
manufacturing and sales, patent positions and the ultimate outcome of any
litigation matter, including whether Apotex will prevail in its appeal of
the District court's decision in the PLAVIX(R) patent litigation. These
factors also include the company's ability to execute successfully its
strategic plans, including its cost reduction programs, the expiration of
patents on certain other products, and the impact and result of
governmental investigations. There can be no guarantees with respect to
pipeline products that future clinical studies will support the data
described in this release, that the products will receive necessary
regulatory approvals, or that they will prove to be commercially
successful; nor are there guarantees that regulatory approvals will be
sought, or sought within currently expected timeframes, or that contractual
milestones will be achieved. For further details and a discussion of these
and other risks and uncertainties, see the company's periodic reports,
including current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
the annual report on Form 10-K, furnished to and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

    The following table sets forth worldwide and U.S. reported net sales for
    selected products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
    compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  In addition,
    the table includes, where applicable, the estimated total U.S.
    prescription change for the retail and mail-order channels for the
    comparative periods presented for certain of the company's U.S.
    pharmaceutical products based on third-party data.  A significant portion
    of the company's U.S. pharmaceutical sales is made to wholesalers.  Where
    changes in reported net sales differ from prescription growth, this change
    in net sales may not reflect underlying prescriber demand.
