BD recorded $605 million of restructuring costs in the first nine months of fiscal 2026, compared with $185 million in the prior-year period. The charges included $450 million of non-cash asset impairment charges across all reportable segments related to exiting operational activities and projects that no longer align with its Excellence Unleashed strategy. BD said the exit actions are intended to simplify operations and align resources with its highest-value platforms; the impairments reduced property, plant and equipment by $238 million and goodwill and other intangibles by $134 million.
