FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3M Achieves Record Sales of $6.9 Billion on 11 Percent Organic Volume Growth

Company Drives 13 Percent Increase in Earnings per Share

ST. PAUL, Minn. — October 28, 2010 - 3M (NYSE: MMM) today reported record third-quarter earnings of $1.53 per share on sales of $6.9 billion. Sales and per-share earnings increased 11 percent and 13.3 percent, respectively, versus the third quarter of 2009. Operating income was a third quarter record $1.576 billion and operating margins were 22.9 percent. Operating margins exceeded 20 percent in all six of the company’s business segments for the third consecutive quarter.

During the third quarter, the company drove double-digit sales increases in four of its six business segments, led by Electro and Communications at 25 percent and Display and Graphics at 19 percent. Asia Pacific led all geographic regions with a 28 percent sales increase.

Sales in emerging markets grew by 25 percent in the third quarter and now comprise 34 percent of 3M’s worldwide sales. Sales grew by 48 percent in Korea, 39 percent in India, 32 percent in Russia, 31 percent in the China/Hong Kong region and 25 percent in Brazil.

“The 3M team posted yet another outstanding quarter, with 11 percent organic volume growth and 23 percent margins,” said George W. Buckley, 3M chairman, president and CEO. “We drove growth throughout the portfolio, with more than 80 percent of our operating divisions posting year-on-year sales increases. New products are fueling market share gains and filling adjacent spaces everywhere, but particularly in emerging markets, the fastest-growing area of our company. My thanks to the many 3Mers around the world who continue to make this happen.”

For the first nine months of 2010, sales increased 17.4 percent to $20 billion, driven primarily by a 16 percent increase in organic volumes. Year-to-date earnings were $4.36 per share, up 35.8 percent over 2009.

3M also commented on its full-year 2010 performance expectations. The company expects that full-year organic sales volume growth will be in the range of 13.5 to 14 percent and that operating margins will equal approximately 22.5 percent for the year.

The company also expects that full-year earnings per share, excluding the Medicare Part D-related charge recorded in the first quarter of this year, will be in the range of $5.70 to $5.74. The high end of this range is down 6 cents per share versus the company’s prior expectations, due solely to anticipated earnings dilution related to the company’s October 2010 purchases of Attenti Holdings S.A. and Arizant Inc. and a controlling interest in Cogent Inc. GAAP earnings are expected to be in the range of $5.59 to $5.63 per share for 2010 in total.

Key Financial Highlights

Worldwide sales totaled $6.9 billion in the third quarter, up 11 percent compared to the third quarter of 2009. Local-currency sales including acquisitions increased 11.1 percent, divestitures reduced sales by 0.1 percent and year-on-year changes in foreign exchange rates had no impact on third quarter sales.

Third-quarter sales growth was broad-based, with year-on-year local-currency increases of 24 percent in Electro and Communications, 18 percent in Display and Graphics, 14 percent in Industrial and Transportation, 11 percent in Consumer and Office and 2 percent in Health Care. In the company’s Safety, Security and Protection Services Business, local-currency sales declined 2 percent versus the third quarter of 2009.

On a geographic basis, sales rose 28 percent in Asia Pacific, 14 percent in Latin America/Canada and 6 percent in the United States. In Europe, organic volumes rose 4 percent, but sales in total declined 1 percent as currency effects more than offset volume gains.

Third-quarter net income was $1.106 billion, or $1.53 per share, versus $957 million, or $1.35 per share, in last year’s third quarter. Total-company operating income was $1.576 billion, a third-quarter record for 3M, and operating margins were 22.9 percent. Margins exceeded 20 percent in all six of 3M’s business segments.

SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Millions, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also discusses non-GAAP measures that exclude special items. Operating income, net income attributable to 3M (hereafter referred to as “net income”), and diluted earnings per share attributable to 3M common shareholders (hereafter referred to as “diluted earnings per share”) are all measures for which 3M provides the reported GAAP measure and an adjusted measure (excluding special items). Special items are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Special items represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the company’s ongoing operations. The company uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage the company’s operations. The company believes that discussion of results excluding special items provides a useful analysis of ongoing operating trends. The determination of special items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The reconciliation provided below reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2010.

	Three-months ended September 30, 2010						Nine-months ended September 30, 2010
	Operating income		Net income		Diluted earnings per share		Operating income		Net income		Diluted earnings per share
Reported GAAP measure	$	1,576	$	1,106	$	1.53	$	4,617	$	3,157	$	4.36

Special items:
Medicare tax change (a)	—		—		—		—		84		0.11
Adjusted Non-GAAP measure	$	1,576	$	1,106	$	1.53	$	4,617	$	3,241	$	4.47

(a) The first nine-months of 2010 includes a one-time, non-cash income tax charge of $84 million, or 11 cents per diluted share, resulting from the March 2010 enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including modifications made in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Act”). The charge is due to a reduction in the value of the Company’s deferred tax asset as a result of the Act’s change to the tax treatment of Medicare Part D reimbursements.

The reconciliation provided below reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2009.

	Three-months ended September 30, 2009						Nine-months ended September 30, 2009
	Operating income		Net income		Diluted earnings per share		Operating income			Net income			Diluted earnings per share
Reported GAAP measure	$	1,478	$	957	$	1.35	$	3,472		$	2,258		$	3.21

Special items:

Gain on sale of real estate (c)	—		—		—		(15		)	(9		)	(0.01		)
Adjusted Non-GAAP measure	$	1,504	$	971	$	1.37	$	3,666		$	2,377		$	3.38

(b) During the first three quarters of 2009, management approved and committed to undertake certain restructuring actions, which resulted in a pre-tax charge for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2009 of $26 million and $209 million, respectively. This charge related to employee-related liabilities for severance/benefits and other for the three-months ended September 30, 2009. Employee-related liabilities for severance/benefits and other of approximately $190 million and fixed asset impairments of approximately $19 million were recorded for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009. All business segments were impacted by these actions. For the three-months ended September 30, 2009, these charges were recorded in cost of sales; and research, development and related expenses, with these expenses totaling $25 million and $1 million, respectively. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2009, these charges were recorded in cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expenses; and research, development and related expenses, with these expenses totaling $110 million, $91 million and $8 million, respectively.

(c) In June 2009, 3M completed the sale of a New Jersey roofing granule facility and recorded a pre-tax gain of $15 million. This gain was recorded in cost of sales within the Safety, Security and Protection Services business segment.

The reconciliation provided below reconciles the non-GAAP operating income measure by business segment with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2009. There were no special items that impacted operating income for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2010. As discussed in more detail later in the section entitled “Business Segments,” 3M made certain product moves between its business segments in the first quarter of 2010. Segment information for all periods presented has been reclassified to reflect these changes.

(d) Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The company believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company and its ability to generate cash.

(e) The company uses various working capital measures that place emphasis and focus on certain working capital assets and liabilities. 3M’s net working capital index is defined as quarterly net sales multiplied by four, divided by ending net accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable. This measure is not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Effective in the first quarter of 2010, 3M made certain product moves between its business segments in its continuing effort to drive growth by aligning businesses around markets and customers. There were no changes impacting business segments related to product moves for the Health Care segment, Consumer and Office segment, Display and Graphics segment, or Electro and Communications segment. In addition, 3M results in total did not change. The financial information presented herein reflects for all periods presented the impact of product moves between business segments, which are summarized as follows:

Certain acoustic systems products in the Occupational Health and Environmental Safety Division (part of the Safety, Security and Protection Services business segment) were transferred to the Automotive Division within the Industrial and Transportation business segment. In addition, thermal acoustics systems products which were included in the Occupational Health and Environmental Safety Division as a result of 3M’s April 2008 acquisition of Aearo Holding Corp. were transferred to the Aerospace and Aircraft Maintenance Department within the Industrial and Transportation business segment. These product moves established an acoustic center of excellence within the Industrial and Transportation business segment. The preceding product moves resulted in an increase in net sales for total year 2009 of $116 million for Industrial and Transportation, which was offset by a corresponding decrease in net sales for Safety, Security and Protection Services.
