PRESENTATION SUMMARY

S1. Opening Comments (J.C.) 1. Key Achievements: 1. Co. had a strong qtr. in terms of growing its key brands and advancing new product pipeline. 2. There was positive news at several medical meetings, including encouraging data on ORENCIA at ACR and on SPRYCEL and Apixaban at ASH. 3. In Nov., BMY received approval to market SPRYCEL in Europe. 1. Optimistic about its prospects in Europe and in US, where it has been on the market approx. six months. 4. Moved Apixaban to Phase III status. 5. Earlier in Jan. Co. saw some favorable Phase III on ERBITUX used in combination with irinotecan- based chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. 1. Co. looks forward to more data for ERBITUX for potentially other tumor types over the next 12-18 months. 6. In its oncology pipeline, Co. has three promising compounds in registrational programs. 1. Hopes to submit applications for them over the next 12 months or so if clinical data continues to support this. 7. Expects Ixabepilone to be its next submission later in 2007. 8. FDA granted Fast Track status for Ipilimumab, metastatic melanoma compound that Co. in-licensed from Medarex. 9. Earlier in Jan., Co. announced a significant collaboration

with AstraZeneca to develop and commercialize Saxagliptin and

BMY's SGLT2 inhibitor, two promising diabetes compounds that

were discovered from in-house research. 1. Key element of its strategy is looking for partnering opportunities, particularly in primary care area, which can help Co. optimally manage risks, costs, and revenue potential. 10. Made good progress executing strategy despite some significant stresses. 1. Launched several important products, including ORENCIA, SPRYCEL, and ATRIPLA, a combination HIV/AIDS treatment with Gilead. 1. ORENCIA and SPRYCEL along with Baraclude continue to gain share. 2. With the growing role of biologics in its portfolio, Co. announced planned establishment of a major new biologics facility in Devens, Massachusetts along with expansion of existing facilities in Syracuse, New York and Puerto Rico. 3. Continues to invest in late-stage pipeline, despite pressures from loss of exclusivity on PRAVACHOL in US and

parts of Europe and more recently, the at-risk launch of generic clopidogrel. 4. PLAVIX patent trial began on Monday. 1. Continues to believe the patent is valid and being infringed. 2. Looks forward to final resolution of this matter. 3. Co. cannot predict how long the trial will go or what the outcome will be, but is moving forward with its plans for the brand which continues to grow as supplies of generic are depleted. 5. Encouraged that prescription growth for the (indiscernible) molecule continues to be robust, up 14% in latest data. 1. This points to solid potential for PLAVIX as a key product for Co. and an important therapy for cardiovascular

patients. 2. 2007 Guidance: 1. Reflects continued commitment to executing its strategy and building value for shareholders.

2. Expects to return to sales and earnings growth in 2007 as it

continues to maximize the potential of key products and focus

even more on costs.
