          BAXTER'S FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

             COMPANY ACHIEVES RECORD SALES AND EARNINGS IN 2006 AND
                  PROVIDES POSITIVE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2007

     DEERFIELD, Ill., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Baxter International
Inc. (NYSE: BAX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter 2006
and provided its financial outlook for the first quarter and full-year 2007.

    Summary of Fourth Quarter Results

    Baxter reported income from continuing operations of $433 million in the
fourth quarter, an increase of 47 percent over the same period last year, and 14
percent on an adjusted basis. Earnings of $0.66 per diluted share exceeded
company guidance of $0.60 to $0.62 per diluted share, and represented an
increase of 43 percent on a GAAP basis and 10 percent on an adjusted basis. This
performance was a result of strong sales growth, gross margin expansion and
lower income tax expense.

    Worldwide sales totaled $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter, an increase of
11 percent compared to the same period last year. Excluding a 2 percentage point
benefit from foreign exchange, sales grew 9 percent and exceeded the company's
organic sales growth guidance of 7 to 8 percent. Domestic sales increased 11
percent to $1.2 billion, and international sales also increased 11 percent to
$1.5 billion (an increase of 7 percent excluding a 4 percentage point benefit
from foreign exchange).

    All of Baxter's businesses posted strong sales growth in the quarter. Sales
within Baxter's BioScience business totaled $1.2 billion, an increase of 18
percent from the same period last year. This growth was driven by record sales
of ADVATE, Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin Free Method
(rAHF-PFM) for the treatment of hemophilia A, antibody therapy products,
including GAMMAGARD LIQUID(TM) [Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] (IVIG) 10%
Solution for the treatment of primary immunodeficiencies, specialty plasma
therapeutics and biosurgery products. Medication Delivery sales increased 7
percent to $1.0 billion, with increased sales of infusion systems, intraveneous
solutions and parenteral nutrition products, along with accelerated growth in
the company's drug delivery business. Renal sales increased 6 percent to $537
million reflecting accelerating gains in peritoneal dialysis patients globally.

    "We are quite pleased with our strong fourth quarter results and are very
well positioned as we move into 2007," said Robert L. Parkinson, Jr., chairman
and chief executive officer. "Of particular importance was our ability to
significantly accelerate R&D spending, which is essential to support growth in
the coming years."

    Summary of Full-Year 2006 Results

    For full-year 2006, Baxter's worldwide sales increased 5 percent to
$10.4 billion. Domestic sales totaled $4.6 billion, an increase of 5 percent
from last year, while international sales increased 6 percent (with no impact
from foreign exchange), to $5.8 billion.



    Baxter's reported income from continuing operations totaled $1.4 billion, or
$2.13 per diluted share, including special charges of $64 million ($0.10 per
diluted share). On an adjusted basis, excluding special charges, the company
reported 2006 income from continuing operations of $1.5 billion, or $2.23 per
diluted share, an increase of 16 percent over last year. Details of special
charges recorded in 2005 and 2006 are outlined in the financial schedules that
follow the text of this press release.

    Cash flow from operations totaled $2.2 billion in 2006, and Baxter generated
$1.7 billion in free cash flow (cash flow from operations, less $526 million of
capital expenditures). Baxter's full-year cash flow performance exceeded the
company's guidance for 2006 of approximately $2.0 billion in cash flow from
operations, and free cash flow of $1.4 billion.

    "We are very pleased with the quality of our earnings results and the
progress we have made financially throughout 2006," said Robert M. Davis,
Baxter's chief financial officer and treasurer. "We are particularly encouraged
with the strength of our cash flow, which is the best indication of our
continued focus on working capital management and value creation."

    Increasing Investments in Research and Development

    In 2006, the company accelerated its investment in research and development
by 15 percent to $614 million, the highest level of investment in the company's
75-year history.

    "Rededication to science and technology will be an important driver of
Baxter's future growth and success," Parkinson continued. "Over the last two
years, our R&D organization has made great progress in applying disciplined
prioritization and project management processes that are critical to ensuring
increased productivity of our pipeline and higher returns for our shareholders."

    Examples of specific advancements include:

    --  Initiated a Phase II clinical trial utilizing adult stem cells to treat
        chronic myocardial ischemia, a severe form of coronary artery disease.
        This trial leverages Baxter's proprietary technology to select stem
        cells for the procedure from the patient's own bloodstream.

    --  Announced preliminary Phase I/II clinical results of Baxter's candidate
        H5N1 pandemic influenza vaccine, suggesting the vaccine is well
        tolerated in humans and may provide wider cross protection for a larger
        number of people before and during a pandemic. This represented the
        first clinical evaluation of a cell-based H5N1 vaccine, and is the first
        clinical demonstration that a candidate H5N1 vaccine can induce
        antibodies that neutralize widely divergent strains of H5N1 virus.

    --  Supported Phase II clinical trials involving the use of intravenous
        immunoglobulin (IVIG) to treat Alzheimer's disease, which are being
        conducted by researchers at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical
        Center in New York City.

    --  Advanced the company's hemophilia portfolio through partnerships with
        Nektar Therapeutics and Lipoxen Technologies, leveraging each company's
        expertise to develop new therapies to reduce the frequency of injections
        required to treat blood-clotting disorders.



    --  Initiated a Phase II clinical trial involving the regeneration of bone
        using a product co-developed by Baxter and Kuros Biosurgery AG. The
        product is based on a combination of Baxter's TISSEEL fibrin sealant and
        Kuros' proprietary biologics and associated binding technology.

    --  Initiated the development of a recombinant form of von Willebrand factor
        (VWF), a protein critical to the normal clotting of blood. Preclinical
        results, presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting in
        December, suggest that Baxter's recombinant VWF therapeutic protein has
        similar properties to plasma-derived VWF.

    --  Collaborated with Halozyme Therapeutics in the clinical and commercial
        development of Hylenex, a liquid injectable formulation of recombinant
        human hyaluronidase that can simplify the delivery of medications and
        fluids through the use of subcutaneous infusion.

    First Quarter and Full-Year 2007 Outlook

    For full-year 2007, Baxter expects to achieve organic sales growth of 3 to 4
percent. This guidance reflects the divestiture of the Transfusion Therapies
business before the end of the first quarter and excludes sales of the company's
COLLEAGUE infusion pump in the United States, which may resume before the end of
2007. Excluding Transfusion Therapies revenues in both 2006 and 2007, Baxter
expects organic sales growth of approximately 7 percent, reflecting a continued
acceleration in sales growth compared to 2006.

    The company expects earnings for full-year 2007 to be $2.47 to $2.53 per
diluted share, and to generate cash flow from operations of approximately $2.3
billion.

    For the first quarter 2007, the company expects organic sales to grow 5 to 6
percent, and earnings of $0.54 to $0.56 per diluted share. This guidance
reflects the divestiture of the Transfusion Therapies business during the first
quarter and ongoing transition service revenue to support this business' ongoing
operations.

Note: Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted SFAS No. 123-R using the
modified prospective method. After-tax stock-option expense for the fourth
quarter of 2006 was $15 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. In accordance with
the modified prospective adoption method, the company did not adjust its
historical consolidated financial statements to reflect the impact of
stock-option expense. Based on the pro forma application of SFAS No. 123 for the
calculation of stock-option expense prior to January 1, 2006 (as previously
disclosed in the company's consolidated financial statements), pro forma
after-tax stock-option expense in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $15 million, or
$0.02 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The non-GAAP financial measures contained in this
press release (earnings and per-share earnings, excluding certain items) adjust
for factors that are unusual or nonrecurring. Unusual or nonrecurring items can
be highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that may substantially
impact the company's reported operations for a period. Management believes that
non-GAAP financial measures can facilitate a fuller analysis of the company's
results of operations, particularly in evaluating performance period over
period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in
financial planning, to monitor business unit performance, and in evaluating
management performance. Refer to the company's filing on Form 8-K of today's
date for additional information.

Note: Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted SFAS No. 123-R using the
modified prospective method. After-tax stock-option expense for the year ended
December 31, 2006 was $53 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. In accordance
with the modified prospective adoption method, the company did not adjust its
historical consolidated financial statements to reflect the impact of
stock-option expense. Based on the pro forma application of SFAS No. 123 for the
calculation of stock-option expense prior to January 1, 2006 (as previously
disclosed in the company's consolidated financial statements), pro forma
after-tax stock-option expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $56
million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The non-GAAP financial measures contained in this
press release (earnings and per-share earnings, excluding certain items) adjust
for factors that are unusual or nonrecurring. Unusual or nonrecurring items can
be highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that may substantially
impact the company's reported operations for a period. Management believes that
non-GAAP financial measures can facilitate a fuller analysis of the company's
results of operations, particularly in evaluating performance period over
period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in
financial planning, to monitor business unit performance, and in evaluating
management performance. Refer to the company's filing on Form 8-K of today's
date for additional information.

(A)  The decrease in the debt-to-capital ratio from December 31, 2005 to
     December 31, 2006 primarily related to the settlement of the company's
     equity units. In February 2006, the purchase contracts included in the
     company's equity units matured, and the company issued approximately 35
     million common shares in exchange for $1.25 billion. Management used a
     portion of the cash proceeds to pay down maturing debt. Refer to the
     company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for additional
     information regarding the equity units.
