SALES CHANGE ANALYSIS2

2Total sales change is calculated based on reported sales results. The components of sales change include organic local-currency sales, acquisitions, divestitures, and translation. Organic local-currency sales include both organic volume impacts (which excludes acquisition and divestiture impacts) and selling price changes. Acquisition and divestiture impacts are measured separately for the first 12 months post-transaction and, beginning April 2024, include the impact of commercial agreements associated with the separation of Solventum.

3M Company and Subsidiaries

3M discloses business segment operating income as its measure of segment profit, reconciled to both total 3M operating income and income before taxes. Business segment operating income excludes certain expenses and income that are not allocated to business segments (as described below in "Corporate and Other").

3M Company and Subsidiaries

BUSINESS SEGMENTS - (CONTINUED)

Outside of 3M's reportable operating segments, 3M has Corporate and Other which is not a reportable business segment as it does not meet the segment reporting criteria. Because Corporate and Other includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis.

Corporate and Other operating income (loss) includes

Corporate special items includes, for the periods presented

net costs for significant litigation impacting operating income (loss) associated with PFAS-related other environmental and Combat Arms Earplugs matters.

loss on business divestitures.

divestiture costs (related to separating and divesting substantially an entire business segment of 3M following public announcement of its intended divestiture) that were not eligible to be part of discontinued operations.

Other corporate (expense) income-net includes

certain enterprise and governance activities resulting in unallocated corporate costs and other activity or costs that 3M may choose not to allocate directly to its business segments.

commercial activity with Solventum following its April 1, 2024 Separation and certain operations of the former Health Care business segment retained by 3M.

transition arrangement agreements (e.g. fees charged by 3M, net of underlying costs) related to divested businesses, including those related to the Solventum Separation.

operations of businesses of the former Health Care segment divested prior to the Separation and therefore not reflected as discontinued operations within 3M's financial statements, along with limited-duration supply agreements with previous divestitures.

costs previously allocated to Solventum prior to the Separation that were not eligible to be part of discontinued operations.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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 Other, 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

The following provides additional information and applicable GAAP amounts reconciled to non-GAAP measures.

NON-GAAP MEASURES (CONTINUED)

43M 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 (losses) divestiture costs divestiture-related restructuring changes in value of Solventum ownership 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 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".
