3M Completes Spin-off of Solventum
On April 1, 3M completed the planned spin-off of its health care business, which formally launched Solventum Corporation as an independent company. Solventum is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as SOLV. 3M retained 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Solventum common stock, which will be monetized within five years following the spin-off.
Solventum Corporation’s financial reporting will differ from the basis of presentation used by 3M for the Health Care segment.
3M Resolves Public Water Supplier and Combat Arms Earplugs Litigation
On March 29, the company's previously announced settlement agreement with U.S. public water suppliers received final approval from the U.S. District Court in Charleston, South Carolina. The agreement includes a pre-tax present value commitment of up to $10.3 billion payable over 13 years, for which the company has previously recorded reserves.
On March 26, 3M announced that, as of the final registration date for the Combat Arms Earplug settlement agreement, more than 99% of claimants are participating in the settlement. Under the terms of the agreement, 3M will pay a total amount of up to $6.0 billion, between 2023 and 2029, to resolve the litigation, provided all participation thresholds are met. This represents a total pre-tax present value of $5.3 billion, for which the company has previously recorded reserves.
Initiating Full-Year 2024 Earnings Outlook Reflecting Solventum as a Discontinued Operation
3M initiated the following full-year 2024 expectations. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, Solventum's historical earnings results will be reported within 3M's financial statements as discontinued operations. The 2024 earnings outlook below reflects Solventum’s net income as discontinued operations for the full year, including the first quarter of 2024.

In addition, following the spin of Solventum, 3M’s dividend payout ratio is expected to be approximately 40% of adjusted free cash flow. The second-quarter dividend is expected to be declared in May 2024, and is subject to board approval.
23M is supplying preliminary estimated information that is illustrative as if Solventum’s net income was reflected as a discontinued operation. This information is preliminary, unaudited, and based on current estimates, and remains subject to change. See further discussion in the “Supplemental Financial Information Non-GAAP Measures - Reflecting Solventum Net Income as Discontinued Operation” section.
3As further discussed at 10 within the "Supplemental Financial Information Non-GAAP Measures" sections, 3M cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures and, therefore, does not provide them on a forward-looking basis reflecting these items.

3M Company and Subsidiaries
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
(Unaudited)

3M discloses business segment operating income (loss) as its measure of segment profit/loss, reconciled to both total 3M operating income (loss) and income (loss) before taxes. Business segment operating income (loss) excludes certain expenses and income that are not allocated to business segments (as described below in “Corporate and Unallocated”).
Effective in the first quarter of 2024, 3M made certain changes within its business segments in its continuing effort to improve the alignment of businesses around markets and customers. The changes included the items described below. While they impacted the composition of certain divisions within 3M's business segments, they did not change the overall composition of segments or the measure of segment operating performance used by 3M’s chief operating decision maker (CODM). The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of these changes for all periods presented.
Creation of Industrial Specialties division (within Safety and Industrial business segment) and Commercial Branding and Transportation division (within Transportation and Electronics business segment)
3M created the Industrial Specialties division within Safety and Industrial business segment, which consists of the former Closure and Masking Systems division along with certain products formerly within Industrial Adhesive and Tapes division and the Personal Safety division. Further, 3M created the Commercial Branding and Transportation division within the Transportation and Electronics business segment, which consists of the former Commercial Solutions division and the Transportation Safety division.
Re-alignment from three to four divisions within Consumer business segment
The Consumer business segment re-aligned from three divisions to the following four divisions: Consumer Safety and Well-Being, Home and Auto Care, Home Improvement, and Packaging and Expression.
Division name changes within the Health Care business segment
The names of three of the Heath Care segment's divisions were changed. The Medical Solutions, Oral Care, and Separation and Purification Sciences divisions were renamed to Medical Surgical (MedSurg), Dental Solutions, and Purification and Filtration, respectively.

Corporate and Unallocated operating income (loss) includes “corporate special items” and “other corporate expense-net”. Corporate special items include net costs for significant litigation impacting operating income (loss) associated with PFAS-related other environmental and Combat Arms Earplugs matters. In addition, during the voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy period (which began in July 2022 and ended in June 2023) costs associated with the Aearo portion of respirator mask/asbestos matters were also included in corporate special items. Prior to the bankruptcy, costs associated with Combat Arms Earplugs matters were not included in the Corporate net costs for significant litigation special item, instead being reflected in the Safety and Industrial business segment. Corporate special items also include divestiture costs and divestiture-related restructuring costs impacting operating income. Divestiture costs include costs related to separating and divesting substantially an entire business segment of 3M following public announcement of its intended divestiture. Other corporate expense-net includes certain enterprise and governance activities resulting in unallocated corporate costs and other activity and net costs that 3M may choose not to allocate directly to its business segments. Because Corporate and Unallocated includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis.

(Unaudited)
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, 3M also provides certain non-GAAP measures. These measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Certain measures adjust for the impacts of special items. Special items for the periods presented include the items described in the section entitled “Description of special items”. Because 3M provides certain information with respect to business segments, it is noteworthy that special items impacting operating income (loss) are reflected in Corporate and Unallocated, except as described with respect to net costs for significant litigation and manufactured PFAS products items in the “Description of special items” section. The reconciliations below, therefore, also include impacted segments as applicable.
This document contains measures for which 3M provides the reported GAAP measure and a non-GAAP measure adjusted for special items. The document also contains additional measures which are not defined under U.S. GAAP. These measures and reasons 3M believes they are useful to investors (and, as applicable, used by 3M) include:

73M defines adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for special items. 3M defines adjusted purchases of property, plant and equipment (also referred to as adjusted capital expenditures) as purchases of property, plant and equipment (PPE) adjusted for the estimated impact of such purchases associated with manufactured PFAS products activity. 3M defines adjusted free cash flow as adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less adjusted purchases of PPE. Cash payments/receipts associated with special items in the determination of adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities are reflected net of applicable tax. The cash tax impact for the portion of payments of costs for significant litigation under the 2023 settlement agreements relative to Combat Arms Earplugs and relative to public water systems regarding PFAS is based on the timing/amount of the actual cash tax deduction (which differs from the timing of the pre-tax settlement payments). The impacts of certain tax-related divestiture costs are based on applicable tax rates and the timing of tax payments relative to underlying separation transactions. For other special items, the cash tax impact is estimated using the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate during the period of payment/receipt. 3M defines adjusted free cash flow conversion as adjusted free cash flow divided by net income (loss) attributable to 3M, adjusted for special items.

NON-GAAP MEASURES – (CONTINUED)

Description of special items:
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides various non-GAAP measures that incorporate adjustments for the impacts of special items. Special items incorporated in the preparation of these non-GAAP measures for the periods presented include the items described below:
Net costs for significant litigation:
These relate to 3M's respirator mask/asbestos (which include Aearo and non-Aearo items), PFAS-related other environmental, and Combat Arms Earplugs matters. Net costs include the impacts of changes in accrued liabilities (including interest imputation on applicable settlement obligations), external legal fees, and insurance recoveries, along with the associated tax impacts. These costs also include the impact on the determination of earnings per diluted share of 3M’s option to satisfy a portion of amounts under the Combat Arms Earplugs settlement in shares. 3M does not consider the elements of the net costs associated with these matters to be normal, operating expenses related to the Company’s ongoing operations, revenue generating activities, business strategy, industry, and regulatory environment. Net costs related to respirator mask/asbestos are reflected as special items in the Safety and Industrial business segment while those impacting operating income (loss) associated with PFAS-related other environmental and Combat Arms Earplugs matters are reflected as corporate special items in Corporate and Unallocated. In addition, during the voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy period (which began in July 2022 and ended in June 2023), costs associated with the Aearo portion of respirator mask/asbestos matters were reflected in corporate special items in Corporate and Unallocated. Prior to the bankruptcy, costs associated with Combat Arms Earplugs matters were reflected as part of special items in the Safety and Industrial business segment. In the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, 3M made payments of approximately $371 million and $73 million, respectively, related to net costs for significant litigation.
Divestiture costs:
These include costs related to separating and divesting substantially an entire business segment of 3M following public announcement of its intended divestiture, including net tax costs of entity structuring associated with the separation of Solventum. These also include interest expense on debt issued by Solventum for the period outstanding prior to the April 1, 2024 completion of the separation of Solventum from 3M. In the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, 3M made payments of approximately $134 million and $54 million, respectively, associated with divestiture costs.
Divestiture-related restructuring actions:
In the third quarter of 2022, following the split-off of the Food Safety business, management approved and committed to undertake certain restructuring actions addressing corporate functional costs across 3M in relation to the magnitude of amounts previously allocated to the divested business. In the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, 3M made payments of approximately $2 million and $3 million, respectively, associated with divestiture-related restructuring actions.
Manufactured PFAS products:
These amounts relate to sales and estimates of income (loss) and associated activity regarding manufactured PFAS products that 3M plans to exit by the end of 2025 included within the Transportation and Electronics business segment. Estimated income does not contemplate impacts on non-operating items such as net interest income/expense and the non-service cost components portion of defined benefit plan net periodic benefit costs. Relative to the impact of the activity of manufactured PFAS products on cash provided by (used in) operating activities, amounts are based on estimates of associated income, depreciation/amortization, certain changes in working capital and accruals, and timing of associated payments.

NON-GAAP MEASURES - REFLECTING SOLVENTUM INCOME (LOSS) AS DISCONTINUED OPERATION
(Unaudited)
The spin-off of Solventum, the former 3M Health Care business, was completed on April 1, 2024. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, Solventum's historical net income will be reported within 3M's financial statements as discontinued operations. However, 3M’s 2024 earnings outlook guidance reflects Solventum as discontinued operations for the full year, including the first quarter of 2024. Therefore, 3M is supplying the accompanying preliminary estimated information that is illustrative as if Solventum were reflected as a discontinued operation for certain historical periods. This financial information should be read together with the financial information included in 3M’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 4, 2024, and with the audited financial information (including the accompanying notes), Management Discussion and Analysis and other information included in 3M’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The financial information that follows does not revise or otherwise amend or restate any previously filed financial information of 3M. This information is preliminary, unaudited, and based on current estimates, and remains subject to change.

103M provides these forward-looking non-GAAP measures, but cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast certain items
to present or provide a reconciliation to corresponding forecasted GAAP measures. These include special items such as net costs for significant litigation; projected divestiture gains; divestiture costs; divestiture-related restructuring; and net sales and estimates of income and associated activity of exited manufactured PFAS products all of which are subject to limitations in predictability of timing, ultimate outcome and numerous conditions outside of 3M’s control. 3M believes these limitations would result in a range of projected values so broad as to not be meaningful to investors. For these reasons, 3M believes that the probable significance of such information is low. Additionally, for similar reasons, 3M does not include the impact of potentially-divested or acquired businesses on expected operations in forecasted outlook guidance it provides until close of a transaction. Information with respect to special items for certain historical periods is included in the section entitled “Description of special items”.
