Full-Year 2024 Outlook
3M provided the following full-year 2024 expectations. This 2024 outlook continues to reflect the Health Care business as part of the company for the full year, but does not reflect the potential impact of funding amounts due under the PWS and CAE legal settlements absent receipt of cash payments in the Health Care business spin.
•Adjusted total sales growth3 in the range of 0.25 to 2.25 percent, reflecting adjusted organic sales3 growth of flat to up 2 percent.
•Adjusted EPS3 in the range of $9.35 to $9.75.
•Adjusted operating cash flow3 of $6.5 to $7.1 billion, contributing to 95 to 105 percent adjusted free cash flow conversion3.
The above does not reflect, for reasons described at 3, the potential impact of funding amounts under the PWS and CAE settlements absent cash received in the Health Care spin. However, for illustrative purposes only, adjusted EPS3 could be impacted up to an estimated ($0.20) from complete debt financing of these settlements based on current market and company expectations.
3As further discussed at 7 within the "Supplemental Financial Information Non-GAAP Measures" section, 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 2023, the measure of segment operating performance and segment composition used by 3M’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) changed and, as a result, 3M’s disclosed measure of segment profit/loss (business segment operating income (loss)) was updated. The change to business segment operating income (loss) aligns with the update to how the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources for the Company’s business segments. The changes included the items described below. The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of these business segment reporting changes for all periods presented.
Reflecting gains/losses from sale of property, plant and equipment (PPE) and other assets within Corporate and Unallocated Change
3M updated its business segment operating performance measure to reflect all gains/losses from sales of PPE and other assets within Corporate and Unallocated. Previously, certain of these gains/losses were included in 3M’s business segments’ operating performance.
Movement of certain businesses between segments
The businesses associated with two groups of products (each with approximately $25 million in annual sales) were realigned with one moving from the Consumer business segment to the Health Care business segment and the other moving from the Health Care business segment to the Consumer business segment.
Also effective in the first quarter of 2023, the Consumer business segment re-aligned from four divisions to the following three divisions: Home, Health and Auto Care; Construction and Home Improvement Markets; and Stationery and Office.

Corporate and Unallocated
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, gain/loss on business divestitures, divestiture-related restructuring costs, and Russia exit costs/benefits. 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 items such as net costs related to limited unallocated corporate staff and centrally managed material resource centers of expertise costs, corporate philanthropic activity, gains/losses from sales of PPE and other assets, and other net costs that 3M may choose not to allocate directly to its business segments. Other corporate expense-net also includes costs and income during the term of transition supply, manufacturing, and service arrangements with divested businesses. Items classified as revenue from this activity are included in Corporate and Unallocated net sales. Because Corporate and Unallocated includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NON-GAAP MEASURES
(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.
In 2023, 3M changed certain of its non-GAAP measures by adjusting for the results of manufactured PFAS products in arriving at results, adjusted for special items. In the fourth quarter of 2022, 3M recorded a charge for PFAS manufacturing exit costs and included it as an adjustment in arriving at results, adjusted for special items. The 2023 non-GAAP measure change involved expanding the extent of adjustment to include the sales and estimates of income (including exit costs) and associated activity regarding manufactured PFAS products that 3M plans to exit by the end of 2025. This change also impacts other non-GAAP measures such as adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow conversion and adjusted EBITDA to similarly include relevant special item adjustments for manufactured PFAS products. The information herein reflects the impacts of these changes for all periods presented.
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:
| | | | | | | | |
GAAP amounts for which a measure adjusted for special items is also provided: | | Reasons 3M believes the measure is useful |
•Net sales (and sales change) | | Considered, in addition to segment operating performance, in evaluating and managing operations; useful in understanding underlying business performance, provides additional transparency to special items |
•Operating income (loss), segment operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) margin | |
•Income (loss) before taxes | |
•Provision for income taxes and effective tax rate | |
•Net income (loss) | |
•Earnings (loss) per share | |
| | | | | | | | |
Additional non-GAAP measures: | | |
•Adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities; adjusted purchases of property, plant and equipment (also referred to as adjusted capital expenditures); adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion | | Used as indicators of strength and ability to generate cash and as indicator of capital deployment; meaningful as measures of performance |
•Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin | | Considered in evaluating and managing operations; meaningful in analyses of ongoing underlying operating trends |
•Net debt | | Meaningful as indicator of liquidity and measure of capital structure strategy |
The following provides additional information and applicable GAAP amounts reconciled to non-GAAP measures.
The term "N/M" used herein references "not meaningful" for certain percent changes.

73M 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. Further, at this time, 3M has not selected from the options available to fund amounts due under the PWS and CAE settlements absent receipt of cash payments in the intended spin-off of its Health Care business and, for similar reasons, has not forecasted the impacts of changes in net debt10 (such as incremental net interest expense) that may be needed to fund amounts under these settlements absent the spin. Information with respect to special items for certain historical periods is included in the section entitled “Description of special items”.

83M 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. For most special items, the cash tax impact is estimated using the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate during the period of payment/receipt. However, 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). 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 fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, 3M made payments of approximately $355 million and $226 million, respectively, related to net costs for significant litigation. In the full year of 2023 and 2022, 3M made payments of approximately $973 million and $907 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. In the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, 3M made payments of approximately $121 million and $8 million, respectively, associated with divestiture costs. In the full year of 2023 and 2022, 3M made payments of approximately $396 million and $11 million, respectively, associated with divestiture costs.
Gain/loss on sale of businesses:
•In the third quarter of 2023, 3M recorded a gain related to the sale of its dental local anesthetic business partially offset by a loss associated with a previously contingent indemnification obligation from a 2020 divestiture.
•In the third quarter of 2022, 3M recorded a gain related to the split-off and combination of its Food Safety business with Neogen Corporation. In the fourth quarter and full year of 2022, 3M made payments of approximately $34 million related to closing costs of the transaction that were part of the determination of the gain thereon.
Russia exit charges/benefits:
• In the second quarter of 2023, 3M recorded a gain on final disposal of net assets in Russia. Previously, in the third quarter of 2022, 3M recorded a charge primarily related to impairment of these assets in connection with management's committed exit and disposal plan.
