  a message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Nineteen ninety-six was a year of tremendous accomplishment.
We continued to create significant shareholder value. We enhanced
our leading-edge technologies. We built on our preeminent positions
in high-growth medical markets worldwide. And, we spun off our
health-care cost management and distribution operations as a
separate, publicly traded company called Allegiance Corporation.
As a result, Baxter is focused on executing its strategies of global
expansion and technological innovation, which we believe will 
continue to drive significant shareholder value in 1997 and beyond.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 
Vernon R. Loucks Jr.

Baxter today is a reinvigorated company, backed by a legacy of leadership more than six decades in the making. While the historic spin-off

of Allegiance may have been the “headline,” there were many important achievements in 1996. These include Baxter’s clear leadership in

the drive to market a successful hemoglobin therapeutic, or “blood substitute;” our acquisition of Immuno International AG, a top European

provider of products and services for transfusion medicine; and ongoing growth in attractive markets from Argentina to China.

OUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS Most important of all, in 1996 Baxter kept its commitment to shareholders by meeting or exceeding our aggressive

financial targets. For several years we have set and delivered to specific, and ambitious, targets designed to generate growth and improve return 

and cash flow to increase consistently the value of your investment. For 1996, our financial targets were to:

n Generate $500 million in “operational cash flow,” defined as total cash flow less working capital and capital 

expenditures. We generated more than $680 million in operational cash flow.

n Grow net earnings in the high single digits, which we accomplished.

n Target a net-debt-to-capital ratio between 35 percent and 40 percent. This ratio, which was 50 percent at 

year-end 1993, was reduced to 34 percent by year-end 1996.

n Continue to leverage marketing-and-administrative expenses. These costs have fallen from 21.5 percent 

of sales in 1995 to 21 percent of sales in 1996.

n Double inventory turns by 1998, using 1993 as a base. While we made significant progress toward this 

goal in 1996, we still have substantial work to do.

n Continue to repurchase an additional $500 million in common stock during the next few years. 

We are on track to meet this commitment, having repurchased $267 million of shares in 1996.

Of course, the financial measure that matters most is total shareholder return (stock price plus dividend), which rose 14 percent during 1996. It was

your company’s 40th consecutive annual dividend increase. Over the last three years, total shareholder return has increased at a compound annual

growth  rate  of  28  percent—higher  than  the  Dow  Jones  Industrial  Average  and  the  S&P  500.  This  performance  was,  however,  slightly  below  the 

S&P  Medical  Products  and  Supplies  Index.  Therefore,  management’s  bonuses,  which  are  tied  directly  to  the  performance  of  Baxter’s  total  return 

in relation to this index, were not paid out in full.

We tie incentives to such benchmarks because we firmly believe that aligning the interests of managers and shareholders

improves performance. We encourage stock ownership by employees. Many senior managers participated in a voluntary

program through which they took out personal loans to purchase Baxter stock. Last year, the company gave options to senior

managers priced at a significant premium to Baxter’s stock price. Baxter’s board of directors also is compensated in stock.

By  investing  in  growth  opportunities,  particularly  internationally;  leveraging  our  cost  position;  focusing  on  cash-flow 

generation; and linking compensation to shareholder returns, we expect to meet our 1997 financial goals, including:

n Increasing net sales approximately 10 percent before the impact of acquisitions. Including acquisitions, 

1997 sales growth will exceed 20 percent.

n Growing net earnings in the low double digits. This will accelerate in 1998 and beyond.

n Generating $300 million to $400 million in operational cash flow. This is after investing $1 billion 

in capital expenditures and research-and-development expenditures, but before litigation payments.

OUR  CORPORATE  STRENGTHS Achieving  these  aggressive  goals  means  capitalizing  on  Baxter’s  unique  competitive  strengths.  Your  company  is  an

acknowledged global leader in technologies related to the blood and circulatory system. Our medical manufacturing skills are recognized and respected

worldwide. And, our expanding global presence results in more than half our sales coming from international markets, where spending and demand

for medical care are growing rapidly. 

Building on these strengths, Baxter continued to grow its international businesses in 1996—announcing, among other initiatives, a joint venture in

Indonesia; plans to build manufacturing plants in China; expansion of our Renal Therapy Services business in Latin America, Asia and Europe; and the

formation of regional senior-management boards to aggressively manage ongoing expansion in Europe, Latin America, North America, Japan and Asia.

We also continued to develop innovative technologies. Our “blood substitute” became the first such product approved for the final stage of clinical

testing in the United States, and we introduced our QUANTUM PD™ nightly exchange system for peritoneal-dialysis patients. In research and development,

we made progress in minimally invasive technologies to repair diseased blood vessels and arteries; continued clinical trials for our Sealagen™ biologic

“glue” used to stop bleeding in surgical wounds; and conducted the first trials using genetically altered porcine livers as a “bridge” to transplant. 

Bringing these ideas to life and these products to market are more than 35,000 Baxter employees. They hand-craft replacement heart valves in Irvine,

California; fill flexible bags with dialysis solutions in Guangzhou, China; and manufacture immune globulins in Lessines, Belgium. Baxter employees are

committed to quality and to excellence—not because it says so in a vision statement, but because they know customers count on them, sometimes

literally with their lives. In the end, that’s what your company is all about. We are in the business of “saving lives worldwide.” By growing globally,

and by continuing to innovate in select technologies, we can generate outstanding returns and improve the quality of life for millions of people worldwide.

Finally, I want to thank David W. Grainger, Silas S. Cathcart and Lester B. Knight, who resigned from Baxter’s board of directors last year to become

board members of Allegiance, for their dedication, vision and commitment to excellence. We wish them well. 

On behalf of the entire Baxter team,
