UNDERSTANDING OUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of Medtronic plc and its subsidiaries (Medtronic plc, Medtronic, or the Company, or we, us, or our). For a full understanding of financial condition and results of operations, this discussion and analysis should be read along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 24, 2026, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 18, 2026. In addition, this discussion and analysis should be read along with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto at and for the three months ended July 31, 2026. Amounts reported in millions within this quarterly report are computed based on the actual amounts, and therefore, the sum of the components may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. Additionally, certain columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.

Financial Trends

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we present certain financial measures that facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning; however, such financial measures are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP). These financial measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company's underlying operational performance and trends and may facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the medical technologies industry.

As presented in the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section on the following pages, our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets and certain charges or benefits that contribute to or reduce earnings and that may affect financial trends. These measures include certain charges or benefits that result from transactions or events that we believe may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact our operations in future periods (non-GAAP adjustments).

In the event there is a non-GAAP adjustment recognized in our operating results, the tax cost or benefit attributable to that item is separately calculated and reported. Because the effective rate can be significantly impacted by the non-GAAP adjustments that take place during the period, we often refer to our tax rate using both the effective rate and the non-GAAP nominal tax rate. The non-GAAP nominal tax rate is calculated as the income tax provision, adjusted for the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, as a percentage of income before income taxes, excluding non-GAAP adjustments.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by subtracting additions to property, plant, and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities.

Refer to the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations," "Income Taxes," and "Free Cash Flow" sections for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

Due to the global nature of our operations, we are exposed to currency exchange rate changes, which may cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows. Fluctuations in the currency exchange rates of currency exposures that are unhedged, such as in certain emerging markets, may result in future earnings and cash flow volatility. The gross notional amount of all currency exchange rate derivative instruments outstanding at July 31, 2026 and April 24, 2026 was $18.8 billion and $20.3 billion, respectively. At July 31, 2026, these contracts were in a net unrealized gain position of $443 million. Additional information regarding our currency exchange rate derivative instruments is included in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

A sensitivity analysis of changes in the fair value of all currency exchange rate derivative contracts at July 31, 2026 and April 24, 2026 indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened/weakened by 10 percent against all currencies, the fair value of these contracts would increase/decrease by approximately $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. Any gains and losses on the fair value of derivative contracts would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying transactions. These offsetting gains and losses are not reflected in the above analysis.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk on our short-term investments and our borrowings. We manage interest rate risk in the aggregate, while focusing on our immediate and intermediate liquidity needs. Our debt portfolio at July 31, 2026 was comprised of debt predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros, which is primarily fixed rate debt. We are also exposed to interest rate changes affecting our investments in interest rate sensitive instruments, which include our marketable debt securities.

A sensitivity analysis of the impact on our interest rate-sensitive financial instruments of a hypothetical 50 basis point change in interest rates, as compared to interest rates at July 31, 2026 and April 24, 2026, indicates that the fair value of these instruments would correspondingly change by $92 million and $91 million, respectively.

For a discussion of current market conditions and the impact on our financial condition and results of operations, please see the “Liquidity” section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis. For additional discussion of market risk, refer to Notes 6 and 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) and changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In accordance with Item 103 of Regulation S-K, we have adopted a $1 million disclosure threshold for proceedings under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party, as we believe matters under this threshold are not material to the Company. A discussion of the Company’s legal proceedings and other loss contingencies are described in Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table provides information about the shares repurchased by the Company during the first quarter of fiscal year 2027:

In March 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $5.0 billion of the Company's ordinary shares. There is no specific time period associated with these repurchase authorizations.

Rule 10b5-1 Director and Officer Trading Arrangements

During the quarter ended July 31, 2026, the following officer adopted a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements” intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act as follows.

On July 16, 2026, Geoff Martha, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The trading plan provides for the sale of up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock starting as early as October 15, 2026, prior to the plan's termination date of November 30, 2026.

Securities Exchange Act Section 13(r) Disclosure

Medtronic has engaged in certain activities that it is required to disclose pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In particular, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, Medtronic engaged in certain regulatory activities involving Russia’s Federal Security Service (“FSB”) related to its medical devices that were expressly authorized by the U.S. Government under applicable economic sanctions regulations.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 ending July 31, 2026, in the normal course of business and consistent with the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") authorizations as in effect at the time, Medtronic Russia filed three notifications with the FSB, as required under local Russian law for the import of medical devices that make use of encryption functionality. This activity did not directly result in any revenues or profits for Medtronic. To the extent that notifications with the FSB remain permissible under U.S. law, Medtronic may decide to continue engaging in such activities for the limited purposes of complying with local law requirements in Russia.
