Rewritten

3M [removed: is progressing toward the] [added: completed its] exit of [removed: all] PFAS manufacturing [removed: by] [added: at] the end of 2025.

Rewritten

In addition, the 2022 PFAS Announcement involves risks, including: the actual [removed: timing, costs,] [added: costs] and financial impact of such exit; [removed: the Company’s ability to complete such exit on the anticipated timing or at all;] potential governmental or regulatory actions relating to PFAS or the Company’s [removed: exit plans;] [added: exit;] the Company’s ability to identify and manufacture, or procure from third parties if possible, acceptable substitutes for PFAS-containing materials in 3M's supply chain; the possibility that such non-PFAS options are not available or that such substitutes may not achieve the anticipated or desired commercial, financial or operational results; potential litigation relating to the Company’s exit [removed: plans] or to any products that include third-party manufactured materials containing PFAS that are incorporated into the products the Company sells; and the possibility that the [removed: planned] exit will involve greater costs than anticipated, [removed: may not be feasible, may not be feasible on the timeframe initially predicted,] or may otherwise have negative impacts on the Company’s relationships with its customers and other parties.

Rewritten

[removed: 3M is] [added: As] also [added: noted, 3M has been] working to discontinue the use of PFAS across its product portfolio [removed: by the end of 2025] and has made [added: substantial] progress in eliminating [removed: the] [added: such] use [removed: of PFAS across its product portfolio] in [removed: a variety of applications.][added: the Company's products.]

Rewritten

Rewritten

Depending on the availability and feasibility of such third-party products not containing PFAS, the Company continues to evaluate circumstances in which the use of PFAS-containing products manufactured by third parties and used in certain applications in 3M’s product [removed: portfolios, such as lithium ion batteries, printed circuit boards and certain seals and gaskets, all widely used in commerce across a variety of industries, and in some cases required by regulatory or industry standards, may or are expected to, depending on applications,] [added: portfolios will] continue beyond [added: the end of] 2025.

Rewritten

In [removed: other] [added: certain] cases, sales [added: and use] of products manufactured before the end of 2025, [added: and sales of products through customer transitions to new products,] regulatory [removed: approval,] [added: approvals,] or customer [removed: re-certification] [added: re-certifications] or [removed: re-qualification] [added: re-qualifications] of substitutes or replacements to eliminate the use of [removed: PFAS manufactured by third parties may not be completed, or, depending on circumstances, are] [added: PFAS, were] not [removed: expected to be completed,] [added: completed] by the end of [removed: 2025.][added: 2025 and transitional efforts are ongoing.]

Rewritten

The Company has been voluntarily cooperating with various local, state, federal (primarily the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)), and international agencies in their reviews of the environmental and health effects of certain PFAS produced by the [removed: Company.][added: Company prior to the end of 2025.]

Rewritten

3M currently is defending lawsuits concerning various PFAS-related products and chemistries, and is subject to unasserted and asserted claims and governmental regulatory proceedings and inquiries related to the production and use of PFAS in a variety of jurisdictions, as discussed in Note [removed: 19,] [added: 17,] “Commitments and Contingencies,” within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Rewritten

3M has seen increased public and private lawsuits being filed on behalf of states, counties, cities, and utilities alleging, among other things, harm to the general public and damages to natural resources, some of which are pending in the AFFF multi-district litigation and some of which are pending in other [removed: jurisdictions.][added: jurisdictions, including internationally.]

Rewritten

[removed: In addition,] [added: For example,] as described in greater detail in Note [removed: 19,] [added: 17,] “Commitments and Contingencies,” within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in June 2023, the Company entered into a class-action settlement (“PWS Settlement”) to resolve a wide range of drinking water claims by public water suppliers in the United States regarding PFAS.

Rewritten

3M will pay $10.5 billion to $12.5 billion in total to resolve the claims released by the PWS Settlement, with payments to be made from 2024 through 2036, in exchange for a release of certain claims, as described further in Note [removed: 19.][added: 17.]

Rewritten

The Company has in the [removed: past,] [added: past been,] and in the future could be, required to investigate such reports and cooperate with U.S. and foreign regulatory authorities in such investigations, audit, monitor compliance or alter its practices as part of such investigations, and the Company has in the past [added: been,] and [removed: may] in the future [removed: be] [added: could be,] required to pay fines or penalties related to its practices.

Rewritten

Various factors or developments can lead the Company to change current estimates of liabilities and related insurance receivables, or make such estimates [added: possible] for matters previously not susceptible of reasonable estimates, such as a significant judicial ruling or judgment, a significant settlement, significant regulatory developments or changes in applicable law.

For a more detailed discussion of the legal proceedings involving the Company and the associated accounting estimates, see the discussion in Note [removed: 19,] [added: 17,] “Commitments and Contingencies,” within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Rewritten

Demand for the Company’s products, which impacts revenue and profit margins, is affected by, among other [removed: things,] [added: things:] (i) the development and timing of the introduction of competitive products; (ii) the Company’s pricing strategies; (iii) changes in customer order patterns, such as changes in the levels of inventory maintained by customers, vendors, or channel partners; (iv) changes in customers’ preferences for our products, including preferences for products that do not contain [added: third-party manufactured] PFAS, the success of products offered by our competitors, and changes in customer designs for their products that can affect the demand for some of the Company’s products; and (v) changes in the business environment related to disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, block-chain, expanded analytics, and other enhanced learnings from increasing volume of available data.

Rewritten

Network disruptions, security and data breaches, cyberattacks, and other cybersecurity incidents involving the Company’s information technology systems, networks and infrastructure [removed: could] [added: could:] disrupt or interfere with the Company’s operations; result in the compromise and misappropriation of proprietary and confidential information belonging to the Company or its customers, suppliers, and employees; and expose the Company to numerous expenses, liabilities, and other negative consequences, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation, and results of operations.*

Rewritten

[added: Any cybersecurity incident or information or operational technology network disruption could result in numerous negative consequences,] including the risk [removed: of] [added: of:] legal claims or proceedings, investigations or enforcement actions by U.S., state, or foreign regulators; liabilities or penalties under applicable laws and regulations, including privacy laws and regulations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions; interference with the Company’s operations; the incurrence of remediation costs; loss of intellectual property protection; the loss of customer, supplier, or employee relationships; and damage to the Company’s reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect the Company’s business.

Rewritten

There can be no assurance that we will realize the benefits of such activities, or that such activities will not result in unexpected or negative consequences, such [removed: as] [added: as:] a reduced ability to generate sales; a relationship impact with employees; or a reduced ability to provide the experience that our customers, suppliers, vendors, and channel partners expect from us.

New in FY2025

Compliance with rapidly changing tariffs and trade restrictions may require significant time and resources, and in turn increase our cost of doing business, and could result in fines and penalties or reputational harm if we are found to not be in compliance.

New in FY2025

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

New in FY2025

3M will continue to take actions to address PFAS manufactured prior to the exit.

New in FY2025

For example, the Company's water treatment assets at facilities that manufactured PFAS will continue to treat PFAS from historical manufacturing activities and remediate residual PFAS in waste streams from the Company's operations.

New in FY2025

3M also will continue to work through the disposition of its assets and its interests in manufacturing facilities, which may include dismantling, cleaning and repurposing, and other dispositions of facilities or equipment.

New in FY2025

3M remains in ongoing discussions with customers, government authorities, and other stakeholders and interested parties about customer agreements and the Company's interests in assets and facilities, which may be owned or leased from other parties that have interests and rights related to those facilities.

New in FY2025

Examples of PFAS-containing third-party products include lithium ion batteries, printed circuit boards, certain seals and gaskets, and other products widely used in commerce across a variety of industries, and in some cases required by regulatory or industry standards.

New in FY2025

The Company is also subject to certain risks as a direct and indirect supplier to the U.S. government and other governments, such as those associated with compliance with procurement regulations, as well as the government’s rights to audit and conduct investigations and to terminate contracts.

New in FY2025

There is also uncertainty as to the extent and timing of funding that may be available for U.S. federal government and other government procurement activities.

New in FY2025

Failure by the Company or one of its customers, suppliers, vendors, or channel partners to comply with provisions of government contracts or related laws, regulations, executive orders, or other government actions could result in the Company being unable to fulfill its contract commitments under a government contract or inability to realize the full value of such contract.

New in FY2025

Significant administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including under the U.S. False Claims Act or similar enforcement legislation, and suspension or debarment from business with the U.S. or other governments, and reputational harm, could also result from the risks noted above.

New in FY2025

Tariffs and other trade restrictions may also: increase the cost of raw materials and components imported from other countries, leading to higher production costs and product pricing to the extent those increased costs are offset through pricing actions; disrupt established supply chains, forcing the Company to find new suppliers or relocate production, which can be time-consuming and costly; limit the Company's access to end markets and, in turn, result in reduced sales and revenue; lower profitability; result in uncertainty related to planning long-term investments and strategies; and have other competitive effects.

New in FY2025

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

New in FY2025

The Company’s use of artificial intelligence technologies exposes the Company to risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation and results of operations.*

New in FY2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies support a range of the Company’s activities, including research and development, operational processes, customer facing tools, and other business functions.

New in FY2025

The use of AI introduces risks that could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, or financial condition.

New in FY2025

AI systems may produce inaccurate, biased, or incomplete outputs, which could lead to operational errors, reduced product or service quality, or unintentional impacts on business decisions.

New in FY2025

External vendors and third party AI tools may expose the Company to additional risks, including insufficient transparency into model performance, vulnerabilities in underlying technologies, or disruptions in service availability.

New in FY2025

AI development and deployment also require security, and proper governance of the data used.

New in FY2025

Use of AI tools, including third party platforms, increases the risk of unauthorized disclosure, loss, or misuse of confidential, personal, or commercially sensitive information.

New in FY2025

In addition, there is a risk that employees or contractors could inadvertently input confidential company information or third party proprietary data into AI systems, including systems not designed for secure handling of such information.

New in FY2025

These actions could result in violations of contractual obligations, data protection requirements, or intellectual property rights, and could expose the Company to legal, regulatory, or reputational harm.

New in FY2025

Emerging and evolving regulations related to AI use, transparency, safety, and accountability may require additional investment, changes to existing processes, or limitations on the development and application of these technologies.

New in FY2025

Rapid advances in AI may also create competitive pressures or require ongoing investment to maintain effectiveness, and failures to manage, govern, or deploy AI responsibly could impair the Company’s ability to achieve expected efficiencies or strategic objectives.

New in FY2025

Workforce restructuring activities are expected to deliver benefits, but also impact business groups, functions, and geographies.

Dropped from FY2024

The Company continues to discuss its PFAS manufacturing exit, and related issues involving the disposition of manufacturing assets, with customers, government authorities, and other stakeholders, and the Company remains focused on completing the exit in a timely and orderly fashion.

Dropped from FY2024

As stated above, 3M is progressing toward the exit of all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025.

Dropped from FY2024

With respect to PFAS-containing products manufactured by third parties, the Company intends to continue to evaluate beyond the end of 2025 the adoption of third-party products that do not contain PFAS to the extent such products are available and such adoption is feasible.

Dropped from FY2024

For example, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $897 million, inclusive of legal fees and other related obligations, in the first quarter of 2018 with respect to the settlement of a matter brought by the State of Minnesota involving the presence of PFAS in the groundwater, surface water, fish or other aquatic life, and sediments in the state.

Dropped from FY2024

The Company or its third-party vendors may develop or incorporate artificial intelligence technology in certain business processes, services or products.

Dropped from FY2024

The development and use of artificial intelligence may present risks to the Company’s business.

Dropped from FY2024

Also, the rapidly evolving legal and regulatory environment relating to artificial intelligence, in the United States and internationally, could impact the Company’s implementation of artificial intelligence technology, and increase compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance.

Dropped from FY2024

Any cybersecurity incident or information or operational technology network disruption could result in numerous negative consequences,

Dropped from FY2024

Workforce restructuring activities impact business groups, functions, and geographies, and the structural reorganization is expected to reduce the size of the corporate center, simplify supply chain, streamline 3M's geographic footprint, reduce layers of management, further align business go-to-market models to customers, and reduce manufacturing roles to align with production volumes, with the goal of improving the Company's longer-term outlook in overall performance.

Net sales change was driven by strength in safety and general industrial and supported by commercial excellence and new product introductions.

New in FY2025

GAAP operating margins were affected by the YoY impact of special items.

New in FY2025

These primarily included an increase in net costs for significant litigation impacting operating income from the 2025 PFAS-related New Jersey Settlement and updates to site remediation obligations (discussed in Note 17), partially offset by increased insurance recoveries; manufactured PFAS products impacts; a 2025 charge associated with divestiture activity (discussed in Note 4); and 2025 transformation costs.

New in FY2025

Outside of special items, both GAAP and adjusted operating margins reflect benefits from growth, productivity, and lower restructuring costs (apart from the transformation costs special item), partially offset by growth investments and tariff impacts.

New in FY2025

Additionally, margins YoY were impacted by cost dis-synergies (from the exit of PFAS manufacturing and 2024 spin of Solventum); by transition service agreement reimbursement from Solventum, which began in the second quarter of 2024; and by the lower extent of stock-based compensation grants (see the *Certain Expenses Impacting Multiple Line Items within Results of Operation* discussion below).

GAAP EPS YoY was affected by the net impact of special items.

New in FY2025

In addition to special items relative to operating income discussed above, this primarily included the YOY impact of the change in value of Solventum ownership, a $0.8 billion pre-tax pension settlement charge in 2024 (as discussed in Note 13), and the YOY impact of imputed interest associated with obligations resulting from significant litigation.

New in FY2025

Outside of special items, both GAAP and adjusted EPS reflect the impact of the other operating income items discussed above, as well as a 2025 gain on the sale of an investment (see the *Income from Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, Net of Taxes* discussion below) and the impact of lower share count.

New in FY2025

These were partially offset by higher non-operating net interest expense and pension expense (both apart from special items).

New in FY2025

3M completed its exit of PFAS manufacturing at the end of 2025 as discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this document.

*Tax-Free Determination of the Health Care Spin-Off and Certain Internal Business Separation Transactions*

Dropped from FY2024

Management has determined that the spin-off and certain internal business separation transactions (the spin-off and certain internal business separation transactions referred to together as the “Transactions”) qualified as tax-free transactions under the applicable sections of the United States (U.S.) Internal Revenue Code.

Dropped from FY2024

The applicable facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the Transactions may be reviewed as part of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

Dropped from FY2024

If the completed Transactions were later determined to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company could be subject to significant liabilities, and there could be material adverse impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future reporting periods.

Dropped from FY2024

The determination of the tax consequences of these Transactions required management to make judgments about the application of tax laws and regulations.

Dropped from FY2024

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the tax-free determination of the Health Care spin-off and certain internal business separation transactions is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in applying relevant tax laws and regulations in determining the tax-free treatment of the Transactions; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the tax-free determination of the Transactions; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Dropped from FY2024

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s determination of the tax-free treatment of the Transactions.

Dropped from FY2024

These procedures also included, among others, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the information, including the private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, third party opinions, U.S. federal tax law, written tax advice and analyses prepared internally and by external tax advisors, certain representations from management, and other relevant evidence used by management to support management’s judgments and determination that the Transactions qualified as tax-free, as well as the application of relevant tax laws and regulations.
