PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Bausch & Lomb Incorporated is a world leader in the development,
manufacture and marketing of healthcare products for the eye.
Bausch & Lomb was incorporated in the State of New York in 1908
to carry on a business which was established in 1853. Its
principal executive offices are located in Rochester, New York.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "Bausch & Lomb"
and "company" as used herein refer to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated
and its consolidated subsidiaries. Highlights of the general
development of the business of Bausch & Lomb during 1999 are
discussed below. Per share amounts in the remainder of this
section reflect December 1999 year-to-date diluted average shares
outstanding.
During the year ended December 25, 1999, a chapter was closed in
Bausch & Lomb's history with the sale of the sunglass business,
which had been part of the company since 1930. In addition,
other remaining non-core businesses were divested, allowing the
company to focus solely on being a technology-based healthcare
company for the eye. The company now reports its operating
results in three segments: vision care, pharmaceuticals and
surgical. Revenues from continuing operations for 1999 were
$1,756.1 million, an increase of $158.6 million or 10% from 1998.
Net earnings for 1999 amounted to $444.8 million, or $7.59 per
share, compared to 1998 earnings of $25.2 million, or $0.45 per
share. Results for 1999 include a net after-tax gain on
divestitures of $308.1 million or $5.26 per share. Income from
continuing operations was $102.7 million or $1.75 per share in
1999 compared to $55.6 million or $.99 per share in 1998.
In January 1999, the company acquired Hansa Research &
Development, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of the HansatomeT
microkeratome used in the majority of worldwide refractive
surgery procedures. The keratomes produced by Hansa had been
previously distributed under an exclusive agreement with Chiron
Vison, now part of Bausch & Lomb Surgical.
In April 1999, the company purchased Orbtek, Inc., the developer
of a unique diagnostic system that gives surgeons critical
information about both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the
cornea which can improve the accuracy and predictability of a
variety of ophthalmic surgery procedures.
In June 1999, the company sold its sunglass business to Luxottica
Group S.p.A. for $636 million in cash. The sale included all of
the company's lines of sunglasses, including Ray-Banr, Revor,
ArnetteT, and Killer Loopr. The company recorded an after-tax
gain of $126.3 million or $2.16 per share related to this sale.
Charles River Laboratories and the Miracle-Ear hearing aid
business, representing the last of the non-core businesses, were
sold during the third quarter of 1999. Miracle-Ear was sold to
Amplifon S.p.A., resulting in an after-tax gain of $11.1 million
or $0.19 per share. Charles River Laboratories, a breeder of
research laboratory animals, was sold for $400 million in cash
and $43 million in promissory notes to DLJ Merchant Banking
Partners II, L.P., an affiliate of the investment banking firm of
Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette. The company retained a 12.5%
equity interest in the Charles River Laboratories business. An
after-tax gain of $170.7 million or $2.91 per share was recorded.
A pre-tax charge of $56.7 million was recorded in the fourth
quarter of 1999 as part of a program to consolidate contact lens
manufacturing and accelerate global administrative savings. Most
of these costs are associated with employee severance payments
and capital equipment write-offs. During 1999, all actions under
a previous restructuring program were completed and the unused
reserve of $3.2 million was reversed. The 1999 charge offset by
the reversal yielded an after-tax impact of $34.2 million or
$0.59 per share. The company is also evaluating additional
actions to rationalize its contact lens products and
manufacturing processes, which could result in additional pretax
charges of up to $15 million by the end of 2000.
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING SEGMENTS
Information concerning sales, operating earnings and assets
attributable to each of the company's operating segments is set
forth on pages 9-12 and 30-32 of the Annual Report and is
incorporated herein by reference.
(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Operating Segments Bausch & Lomb's operations are reported in
three segments: vision care, pharmaceuticals, and surgical.
Below is a description of each segment to the extent that it is
material to an understanding of the company's operations.
Information concerning sales by segment is set forth on page 9 of
the Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Vision Care - The vision care segment includes contact lenses and
lens care products and the vision accessories business. Vision
care products are marketed to licensed eye care professionals,
health products retailers, independent pharmacies, drug stores,
food stores and mass merchandisers by the company's sales force
and distributors.
Pharmaceuticals - The pharmaceuticals segment manufactures and
sells generic and proprietary prescription pharmaceuticals with a
strategic emphasis in the ophthalmic field and over-the-counter
(OTC) ophthalmic medications. These products are marketed by the
company's sales force and distributed through wholesalers,
independent pharmacies, drug stores, food stores, mass
merchandisers and hospitals.
Surgical - The surgical segment manufactures and sells products
and equipment for cataract, refractive, and retinal surgery.
Surgical products are marketed by the company's sales force to
ophthalmic surgeons, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and
distributors.
Suppliers and Customers Materials and components in all three of
the company's segments are purchased from a wide variety of
suppliers; the loss of any one supplier would not adversely
affect the company's business to a significant extent. No
material part of the company's business taken as a whole is
dependent upon a single or a few customers. However, in the
vision care segment approximately 8% of segment sales are
attributable to Wal-Mart controlled retail outlets.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses While in the aggregate the
company's patents are of material importance to its businesses
taken as a whole, no single patent or patent license or group of
patent licenses relating to any particular product or process is
material to any industry segment. The company actively pursues
technology development and acquisition as a means to enhance its
competitive position in its business segments.
In the vision care segment, the company has developed significant
consumer and eye care professional recognition of products sold
under the Bausch & Lomb, ReNu, ReNu MultiPlus, Sensitive Eyes,
Medalist, Boston, Optima FW, SofLens, PureVision and Opcon-A
trademarks. Bausch & Lomb, Dr. Mann Pharma, and Ocuvite are
trademarks receiving substantial consumer recognition in the
pharmaceuticals segment. Storz Millennium, Technolas, Hydroview,
Vitrasert, Hansatome and Orbscan are trademarks receiving
substantial professional recognition in the surgical segment.
Seasonality and Working Capital The nature of the products sold
is not significantly impacted by seasonality issues. In general,
the working capital requirements in each of the company's
segments are typical of those businesses.
Competition and Markets Products in each of the company's
segments are marketed throughout the world. Each segment is
highly competitive in both U.S. and non-U.S. markets. In all of
its segments, the company competes on the basis of product
performance, quality, technology, price, service, warranty and
reliability.
Research and Development Research and development constitutes an
important part of the company's activities. In 1999, the
company's research and development expenditures included in
continuing operations totaled $97.6 million, as compared to $76.7
million in 1998 and $49.8 million in 1997.
Government Regulation The company's products are subject to
regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and
other markets. These authorities, including the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in the United States, generally require
extensive testing of new products prior to sale and have
jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacturing of
products, as well as product labeling and marketing. In most
cases, significant amounts of time and money must be spent to
bring a new product to market in compliance with these
regulations. The regulation of pharmaceutical products and
medical devices, both in the United States and in other markets,
has historically been subject to change.
Environment Although the company is unable to predict what
legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the
future with respect to environmental protection and waste
disposal, existing legislation and regulations have had no
material adverse effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or
competitive position. Capital expenditures for property, plant
and equipment for environmental control facilities were not
material during 1999 and are not anticipated to be material for
2000 or 2001.
Year 2000 Software Compliance Information regarding the
identification and resolution of year 2000 data processing issues
is set forth on page 16 of the Annual Report and such information
is incorporated herein by reference.
Number of Employees The company employed approximately 11,500
persons as of February 19, 2000.
(d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
Information as to sales and long-lived assets attributable to
U.S. and non-U.S. geographic regions is set forth on pages 12-13
and page 32 of the Annual Report and is incorporated herein by
reference.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
1. In its 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the company discussed
a class action lawsuit pending before a New York State Supreme
Court, alleging that the company misled consumers in its
marketing and sale of Sensitive Eyes Rewetting Drops, Boston
Rewetting Drops, ReNu Rewetting Drops and Bausch & Lomb Eyewash.
The plaintiffs had appealed the dismissal of all of their claims
by the trial court. On September 16, 1999, the New York
Appellate Division, First Department, reversed the trial court's
ruling, reinstating the plaintiff's claims. The company has moved
to decertify the matter as a class action.
2. In several actions, the company is defending its long-
standing policy of selling contact lenses only to licensed
professionals against claims that it was adopted in conspiracy
with others to eliminate alternate channels of trade from the
disposable contact lens market. These matters include (i) a
consolidated action in the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Florida filed in June 1994 by the Florida
Attorney General, and now includes claims by the attorneys
general for 21 other states, and (ii) individual actions pending
in California and Tennessee state courts. The company defends
its policy as a lawfully adopted means of ensuring effective
distribution of its products and safeguarding consumers' health.
