Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of the management of the Company, include all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. However, the financial statements do not include all information and accompanying notes required for a presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Accounting Changes | Accounting Changes New Accounting Principles Adopted On October 1, 2016, the Company prospectively adopted amended requirements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") relating to the timing of recognition and classification of share-based compensation award-related income tax effects. Upon the settlement of awards in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded tax benefits for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 of $21 million and $48 million , respectively, to Income tax provision within its consolidated statement of income. The Company expects to record additional tax benefits through the remainder of fiscal year 2017. These tax benefits were recorded within Capital in excess of par value on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet in the prior-year period. Because these excess tax benefits are no longer recorded in Capital in excess of par value, the current-period adjustments for the dilutive impact of share equivalents from share-based plans, which is used in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share, increased by approximately 1 million shares. Also per the amended guidance, the Company classified the $48 million of excess tax benefits for the six months ended March 31, 2017 on its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows within Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities , rather than Net Cash Used for Financing Activities, which included the excess tax benefits for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The amended guidance allows entities to account for award forfeitures as they occur; however, the Company has elected to continue its determination of compensation cost recognized in each period based upon an estimate of expected future forfeitures. New Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new lease accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements upon its adoption of the standard on October 1, 2019. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard. Under this standard, revenue will be recognized upon the transfer of goods or services to customers and the amount of revenue recognized will reflect the consideration to which a reporting entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company intends to adopt the standard, as required, on October 1, 2018 and is currently in the process of completing the initial assessment of the impact that this new revenue recognition standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. As part of the initial assessment, the Company is reviewing a representative sample of its contracts across its various businesses and geographies to identify potential differences that could result from applying the requirements of the new standard. The analysis includes identifying whether there may be differences in timing of revenue recognition under the new standard as well as assessing performance obligations, variable consideration, and contract costs. The Company has not yet estimated the impact, if any, of the new standard on the timing and pattern of its revenue recognition. The Company continues to evaluate the available adoption methods, and apprises both management and its audit committee of the project status regularly. |

Upon the Company's adoption, as discussed in Note 2, of new accounting requirements relating to share-based compensation award-related income tax effects, the adjustments in the current-year periods excluded these excess tax benefits. Using proceeds received from the divestiture of the Respiratory Solutions business in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock under an accelerated share repurchase agreement. The repurchased shares were recorded as a $220 million increase to Common stock in treasury. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | Contingencies Given the uncertain nature of litigation generally, the Company is not able in all cases to estimate the amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome of the litigation to which the Company is a party. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company establishes accruals to the extent probable future losses are estimable (in the case of environmental matters, without considering possible third-party recoveries). In view of the uncertainties discussed below, the Company could incur charges in excess of any currently established accruals and, to the extent available, liability insurance. In the opinion of management, any such future charges, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows. In June 2007, Retractable Technologies, Inc. (“RTI”) filed a complaint against the Company under the caption Retractable Technologies, Inc. vs. Becton Dickinson and Company (Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-250, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas) alleging that the BD Integra™ syringes infringe patents licensed exclusively to RTI. In its complaint, RTI also alleged that the Company engaged in false advertising with respect to certain of the Company’s safety-engineered products in violation of the Lanham Act; acted to exclude RTI from various product markets and to maintain its market share through, among other things, exclusionary contracts in violation of state and federal antitrust laws; and engaged in unfair competition. In January 2008, the Court severed the patent and non-patent claims into separate cases, and stayed the non-patent claims during the pendency of the patent claims at the trial court level. On April 1, 2008, RTI filed a complaint against BD under the caption Retractable Technologies, Inc. and Thomas J. Shaw v. Becton Dickinson and Company (Civil Action No. 2:08-cv-141, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas) alleging that the BD Integra™ syringes infringe another patent licensed exclusively to RTI. On August 29, 2008, the Court ordered the consolidation of the patent cases. RTI was subsequently awarded $5 million in damages at a jury trial with respect to the patent claims, which has been paid, and the patent cases are now concluded. On September 19, 2013, a jury returned a verdict against BD with respect to RTI’s Lanham Act claim and claim for attempted monopolization based on deception in the safety syringe market. The jury awarded RTI $113.5 million for its attempted monopolization claim (which would be trebled under the antitrust statute). The jury’s verdict rejected RTI’s monopolization claims in the markets for safety syringes, conventional syringes and safety IV catheters; its attempted monopolization claims in the markets for conventional syringes and safety IV catheters; and its claims for contractual restraint of trade and exclusive dealing in the markets for safety syringes, conventional syringes and safety IV catheters. In connection with the verdict, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $341 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. With respect to RTI's requested injunction relief, in November 2014, the Court granted RTI’s request that BD be ordered to issue certain corrective statements regarding its advertising and enjoined from making certain advertising claims. The Court denied RTI’s request for injunctive relief relating to BD’s contracting practices and BD’s safety syringe advertising, finding that RTI failed to prove that BD’s contracting practices violated the antitrust laws or that BD’s safety syringe advertising is false. On January 14, 2015, the Court granted in part and denied in part BD’s motion for a stay of the injunction. The Court held that, pending appeal, BD would not be required to send the corrective advertising notices to end-user customers, but only to employees, distributors and Group Purchasing Organizations. On January 15, 2015, the Court entered its Final Judgment in the case ordering that RTI recover $341 million for its attempted monopolization claim and $12 million for attorneys’ fees, and awarded pre and post-judgment interest and costs. On February 3, 2015, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied BD’s motion for a stay of the injunction pending the final appeal, and BD thereafter complied with the Court’s order. On April 23, 2015, the Court granted BD’s motion to eliminate the award of pre-judgment interest, and entered a new Final Judgment. BD thereafter appealed to the Court of Appeals challenging the entirety of the Final Judgment. On December 2, 2016, the Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing the judgment as to RTI’s attempted monopolization claim and rendered judgment on that claim in favor of BD. As a result, the Company reversed $336 million of reserves associated with this judgment. The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for Lanham Act liability, and remanded the case to the district court to consider whether and if so how much profit should be disgorged by BD on that claim. The Court of Appeals vacated and remanded the injunction ordered by the Court. On January 31, 2017, RTI filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. On March 20, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari, and the matter will now return to the district court for a ruling on RTI’s request for disgorgement. On July 17, 2015, a class action complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. The plaintiffs, Glynn-Brunswick Hospital Authority, trading as Southeast Georgia Health System, and Southeast Georgia Health System, Inc., seek to represent a class of acute care purchasers of BD syringes and IV catheters. The complaint alleges that BD monopolized the markets for syringes and IV catheters through contracts, theft of technology, false advertising, acquisitions, and other conduct. The complaint seeks treble damages but does not specify the amount of alleged damages. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint which was granted on January 29, 2016. On September 23, 2016, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to alter or amend the judgment to allow plaintiffs to file an amended complaint, and plaintiffs appealed that decision to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The plaintiffs thereafter voluntarily dismissed their appeal, and the Court of Appeals dismissed the case on November 21, 2016. The Company is also involved both as a plaintiff and a defendant in other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the suits pending against the Company and is engaged in a vigorous defense of each of these matters. The Company is a potentially responsible party to a number of federal administrative proceedings in the United States brought under the Comprehensive Environment Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as “Superfund,” and similar state laws. The affected sites are in varying stages of development. In some instances, the remedy has been completed, while in others, environmental studies are underway or commencing. For several sites, there are other potentially responsible parties that may be jointly or severally liable to pay all or part of cleanup costs. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Data | Segment Data The Company's organizational structure is based upon two principal business segments: BD Medical (“Medical”) and BD Life Sciences (“Life Sciences”). These segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services. The Company evaluates performance of its business segments and allocates resources to them primarily based upon operating income. Segment operating income represents revenues reduced by product costs and operating expenses. As more fully discussed in Note 9, the Company sold a 50.1% controlling financial interest in its Respiratory Solutions business, a component of the Medical segment, in October 2016. This transaction did not meet the criteria established for reporting discontinued operations and as such, results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 included $213 million and $421 million , respectively, of revenues which did not occur in the current-year periods. Financial information for the Company’s segments was as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Millions of dollars) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Revenues (A) Medical $ 1,987 $ 2,131 $ 3,951 $ 4,185 Life Sciences 982 936 1,940 1,869 Total Revenues $ 2,969 $ 3,067 $ 5,892 $ 6,054 Income Before Income Taxes Medical $ 537 $ 513 $ 1,085 $ 978 Life Sciences 177 202 376 404 Total Segment Operating Income 714 715 1,461 1,381 Acquisitions and other restructurings (76 ) (104 ) (163 ) (225 ) Net interest expense (79 ) (96 ) (169 ) (187 ) Other unallocated items (B) (197 ) (139 ) (76 ) (328 ) Income Before Income Taxes $ 362 $ 376 $ 1,054 $ 642 (A) Intersegment revenues are not material.

Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company grants share-based awards under the 2004 Employee and Director Equity-Based Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which provides long-term incentive compensation to employees and directors. The Company believes that such awards align the interests of its employees and directors with those of its shareholders. The fair values of stock appreciation rights granted during the annual share-based grants in November of 2016 and 2015, respectively, were estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based binomial valuation model based on the following assumptions: 2017 2016 Risk-free interest rate 2.33 % 2.17 % Expected volatility 20.00 % 19.00 % Expected dividend yield 1.71 % 1.76 % Expected life 7.5 years 7.6 years Fair value derived $ 33.81 $ 27.69 The fair value of share-based payments is recognized as compensation expense in net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , compensation expense charged to income was $39 million and $43 million , respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , compensation expense charged to income was $99 million and $119 million , respectively. The amount of unrecognized compensation expense for all non-vested share-based awards as of March 31, 2017 was approximately $254 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 2.2 years . |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures. The effects these derivative instruments and hedged items have on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are provided below. Foreign Currency Risks and Related Strategies The Company has foreign currency exposures throughout Europe, Greater Asia, Canada and Latin America. Transactional currency exposures that arise from entering into transactions, generally on an intercompany basis, in non-hyperinflationary countries that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are mitigated primarily through the use of forward contracts and currency options. Hedges of the transactional foreign exchange exposures resulting primarily from intercompany payables and receivables are undesignated hedges. As such, the gains or losses on these instruments are recognized immediately in income. The offset of these gains or losses against the gains and losses on the underlying hedged items, as well as the hedging costs associated with the derivative instruments, is recognized in Other income (expense), net . The total notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange contracts as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were $1.8 billion and $2.3 billion , respectively. In order to mitigate foreign currency exposure relating to its investments in certain foreign subsidiaries, the Company has designated $1.1 billion of euro-denominated debt, issued in December 2016, as net investment hedges. Accordingly, net gains or losses relating to this debt, which are attributable to changes in the euro to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate, are recorded as accumulated foreign currency translation in Other comprehensive income (loss) . Recognition of hedge ineffectiveness into earnings will occur if the notional amount of the euro-denominated debt no longer matches the portion of the net investments in foreign subsidiaries which underlie the hedges. The Company's balance of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2017 included a loss relating to these net investment hedges of $19 million . Additional disclosures regarding the Company's issuance of the euro-denominated debt in December 2016 are provided in Note 14 . Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies The Company’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Company’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges. For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) are offset by amounts recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) . If interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, the balance in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to those derivatives is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged debt. The net realized loss related to terminated interest rate swaps expected to be reclassified and recorded in Interest expense within the next 12 months is $5 million , net of tax. The total notional value of the Company's outstanding forward starting interest rate swaps, which were entered into to mitigate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk and were designated as cash flow hedges, was $500 million at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 . The total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $375 million at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 . The outstanding swaps represent fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements the Company entered into to convert the interest payments on $375 million of the Company’s 3.125% notes due 2021 from the fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt. The gains (losses) recorded on these fair value hedges, which were offset by losses (gains) recorded to the underlying debt instruments, are provided below. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Millions of dollars) 2017 2016 2017 2016 (Losses) gains on fair value hedges $ (1 ) $ 11 $ (16 ) $ 24 Other Risk Exposures The Company purchases resins, which are oil-based components used in the manufacture of certain products. Significant increases in world oil prices that lead to increases in resin purchase costs could impact future operating results. From time to time, the Company has managed price risks associated with these commodity purchases. Effects on Consolidated Balance Sheets The location and amounts of derivative instrument fair values in the consolidated balance sheet are segregated below between designated, qualifying hedging instruments and ones that are not designated for hedge accounting.

As such, there are no gains or losses, related to hedge ineffectiveness or amounts excluded from hedge effectiveness testing, recognized immediately in income relative to cash flow hedges outstanding in the periods presented. Undesignated hedges The location and amount of gains and losses recognized in income on derivatives not designated for hedge accounting were as follows: Location of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Income on Derivatives Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Income on Derivatives Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Income on Derivatives Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Millions of dollars) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Forward exchange contracts (A) Other income (expense), net $ 15 $ 15 $ (7 ) $ 26 (A) The gains and losses on forward contracts and currency options utilized to hedge the intercompany transactional foreign exchange exposures are largely offset by gains and losses on the underlying hedged items in Other income (expense), net . |

The Company’s remaining cash equivalents were $528 million and $1.317 billion at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. Short-term investments are held to their maturities and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less and the short-term investments consist of instruments with maturities greater than three months and less than one year . The Company measures the fair value of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps based upon the present value of expected future cash flows using market-based observable inputs including credit risk, interest rate yield curves, foreign currency spot prices and forward prices. Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is measured based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of long-term debt was $9.5 billion and $11.3 billion at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of the current portion of long-term debt was $1.1 billion and $798 million at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The contingent consideration liabilities were recognized as part of the consideration transferred by the Company for certain acquisitions. The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities were estimated using probability-weighted discounted cash flow models that were based upon the probabilities assigned with regard to achievement of the contingent events. The estimated fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured each reporting period based upon increases or decreases in the probability of the contingent payments. The Company’s policy is to recognize any transfers into fair value measurement hierarchy levels and transfers out of levels at the beginning of each reporting period. There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 measurements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . |

Subsequent Event [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Definitive Agreement to Acquire C.R. Bard, Inc. On April 23, 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which BD will acquire C. R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard") for $317.00 per Bard common share in cash and stock, for a total consideration of approximately $24 billion . The combination will create a highly differentiated medical technology company uniquely positioned to improve both the process of care and the treatment of disease for patients and healthcare providers. Under the terms of the transaction, Bard common shareholders will be entitled to receive approximately $222.93 in cash and 0.5077 shares of BD stock per Bard share, or a total of value of $317.00 per Bard common share based on BD's closing price on April 21, 2017. At closing, Bard shareholders will own approximately 15 percent of the combined company. The Company has secured access to $15.7 billion of fully committed bridge financing and expects to permanently finance the transaction with approximately $1.7 billion of available cash, as well as, subject to market conditions, approximately $10 billion of new debt, approximately $4.5 billion of equity and equity-linked securities issued to the market, and approximately $8 billion of BD common stock. The transaction is subject to regulatory and Bard shareholder approval and customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the fall of 2017. Amendment to Dispensing Equipment Leases In April 2017, in conjunction with the implementation of a new “go-to-market” business model for the Company's U.S. dispensing business within the Medication Management Solutions (“MMS”) unit of the Medical segment, the Company amended the terms of certain customer leases for dispensing equipment within the MMS unit. The modification provided customers the ability to reduce its dispensing asset base via a return provision, resulting in a more flexible lease term. Prior to the modification, these leases were accounted for as sales-type leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, "Leases", as the non-cancellable lease term of five years exceeded 75% of the equipment’s estimated useful life and the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeded 90% of the equipment’s fair value. As a result of the lease modifications, the Company is required to reassess the classification of the leases due to the amended lease term. Accordingly, most amended lease contracts will be classified as operating leases beginning in April 2017. The change in lease classification will require the derecognition of the net investment in sales-type leases and the recognition of the underlying leased assets on the Company’s balance sheet as of the effective date, and will result in an estimated non-cash, net charge to earnings of approximately $400 - $500 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. Beginning April 1, 2017 revenue associated with these modified contracts will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term, along with depreciation on the reinstated leased assets. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Principle Adopted | New Accounting Principles Adopted On October 1, 2016, the Company prospectively adopted amended requirements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") relating to the timing of recognition and classification of share-based compensation award-related income tax effects. Upon the settlement of awards in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded tax benefits for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 of $21 million and $48 million , respectively, to Income tax provision within its consolidated statement of income. The Company expects to record additional tax benefits through the remainder of fiscal year 2017. These tax benefits were recorded within Capital in excess of par value on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet in the prior-year period. Because these excess tax benefits are no longer recorded in Capital in excess of par value, the current-period adjustments for the dilutive impact of share equivalents from share-based plans, which is used in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share, increased by approximately 1 million shares. Also per the amended guidance, the Company classified the $48 million of excess tax benefits for the six months ended March 31, 2017 on its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows within Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities , rather than Net Cash Used for Financing Activities, which included the excess tax benefits for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The amended guidance allows entities to account for award forfeitures as they occur; however, the Company has elected to continue its determination of compensation cost recognized in each period based upon an estimate of expected future forfeitures. New Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new lease accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements upon its adoption of the standard on October 1, 2019. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard. Under this standard, revenue will be recognized upon the transfer of goods or services to customers and the amount of revenue recognized will reflect the consideration to which a reporting entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company intends to adopt the standard, as required, on October 1, 2018 and is currently in the process of completing the initial assessment of the impact that this new revenue recognition standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. As part of the initial assessment, the Company is reviewing a representative sample of its contracts across its various businesses and geographies to identify potential differences that could result from applying the requirements of the new standard. The analysis includes identifying whether there may be differences in timing of revenue recognition under the new standard as well as assessing performance obligations, variable consideration, and contract costs. The Company has not yet estimated the impact, if any, of the new standard on the timing and pattern of its revenue recognition. The Company continues to evaluate the available adoption methods, and apprises both management and its audit committee of the project status regularly. |
Commitments and Contingencies | Given the uncertain nature of litigation generally, the Company is not able in all cases to estimate the amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome of the litigation to which the Company is a party. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company establishes accruals to the extent probable future losses are estimable (in the case of environmental matters, without considering possible third-party recoveries). In view of the uncertainties discussed below, the Company could incur charges in excess of any currently established accruals and, to the extent available, liability insurance. In the opinion of management, any such future charges, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows. |
Derivatives | The Company’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges. For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) are offset by amounts recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) . If interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, the balance in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to those derivatives is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged debt. The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures. The effects these derivative instruments and hedged items have on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are provided below. Hedges of the transactional foreign exchange exposures resulting primarily from intercompany payables and receivables are undesignated hedges. As such, the gains or losses on these instruments are recognized immediately in income. The offset of these gains or losses against the gains and losses on the underlying hedged items, as well as the hedging costs associated with the derivative instruments, is recognized in Other income (expense), net . |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | The Company measures the fair value of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps based upon the present value of expected future cash flows using market-based observable inputs including credit risk, interest rate yield curves, foreign currency spot prices and forward prices. Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is measured based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of long-term debt was $9.5 billion and $11.3 billion at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of the current portion of long-term debt was $1.1 billion and $798 million at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The contingent consideration liabilities were recognized as part of the consideration transferred by the Company for certain acquisitions. The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities were estimated using probability-weighted discounted cash flow models that were based upon the probabilities assigned with regard to achievement of the contingent events. The estimated fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured each reporting period based upon increases or decreases in the probability of the contingent payments. The Company’s policy is to recognize any transfers into fair value measurement hierarchy levels and transfers out of levels at the beginning of each reporting period. |
