Bristol-Myers Co.’s earnings jumped 21% to $210.64 million the first quarter of this year, boosted by record sales of the company’s drug and consumer products. Sales were up 13% to $1.52 billion from $1.35 billion, which the company said was a record for its 101-year history. Chairman Richard L. Gelb said exchange rate fluctuations accounted for about 1% of sales growth. The New York-based company makes toiletries, drugs, hair care and household products and nutritional and vitamin products.
