BUSINESS SEGMENTS - (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
Corporate and Other
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 include, 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, and
transformation program restructuring and related charges.
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, and
costs previously allocated to Solventum prior to the Separation that were not eligible to be part of discontinued operations.

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 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:
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 (and expansion)    
Income from continuing operations before taxes
Provision for income taxes and effective tax rate
Net income from continuing operations
EPS from continuing operations
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
The following provides additional information and applicable GAAP amounts reconciled to non-GAAP measures.

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; transformation costs; 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”.

53M’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include the results of continuing and discontinued operations (Solventum separated from 3M in April 2024); accordingly, amounts associated with the determination of adjusted free cash flow include both continuing and discontinued operations in certain periods both from an income and cash flow perspective. 3M 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. The cash tax impact for the portion of payments of costs for significant litigation under the 2023 and 2025 settlement/proposed settlement agreements relative to Combat Arms Earplugs and relative to public water suppliers and the state of New Jersey regarding PFAS is based on the timing/amount of the actual cash tax deduction (which differs from the timing of the pre-tax cash settlement payments). The impacts of certain tax-related divestiture costs are based on applicable tax rates and the timing of tax payments relative to underlying Separation transactions. For other special items, the cash tax impact is estimated using the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate during the period of payment/receipt. Tax impacts include associated impacts on Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII), Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI), foreign tax credits, and tax costs of repatriation. 3M defines adjusted free cash flow conversion as adjusted free cash flow divided by net income attributable to 3M, adjusted for special items (used for adjusted free cash flow conversion calculation).

NON-GAAP MEASURES (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
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), legal costs, and insurance recoveries, along with the associated tax impacts. Associated tax impacts of significant litigation include impacts on Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII), Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI), foreign tax credits, and tax costs of repatriation. 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 Other. In the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, 3M reflected net pre-tax cash (receipts)/payments of $(32) million and $3.7 billion, respectively, related to net costs for significant litigation. In the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, 3M reflected net pre-tax cash (receipts)/payments of $3.3 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively, related to net costs for significant litigation.
Loss on business divestitures:
In the third quarter of 2025, 3M reflected a write-down for a business classified as held for sale. In second quarter of 2025, 3M completed a divestiture for immaterial proceeds slightly below the business's book value.
Divestiture costs:
These include certain limited costs that were not eligible to be included within discontinued operations related to separating and divesting substantially an entire business segment of 3M following public announcement of its intended divestiture. As a result of completion of the April 2024 separation of Solventum, this includes the tax cost of updating 3M’s previous indefinite reinvestment plans on past unrepatriated earnings through the period of the Separation’s close and to tax positions retained by 3M. 3M’s statement of cash flows includes the results of both continuing and discontinued operations. Therefore, in the context of amounts used in the determination of non-GAAP measures associated with cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, this special item further includes the broader extent of such costs that included within discontinued operations, including interest expense on debt issued by Solventum for the period outstanding prior to the April 1, 2024 completion of the separation of Solventum from 3M and net tax costs of entity structuring associated with the separation of Solventum. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, 3M made pre-tax cash payments of $25 million and $217 million, respectively, associated with divestiture costs.
Divestiture-related restructuring actions:
In the third quarter of 2022, following the split-off of the Food Safety business, management approved and committed to undertake certain restructuring actions addressing corporate functional costs across 3M in relation to the magnitude of amounts previously allocated to the divested business. In the first nine months of 2024, 3M made pre-tax cash payments of $2 million associated with divestiture-related restructuring actions.
Enactment/measurement period adjustments related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA):
In the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, 3M made payments of $211 million and $193 million, respectively, related to the transition tax expense incurred as a result of the 2017 enactment of the TCJA.
Manufactured PFAS products:
These amounts relate to sales and estimates of income (loss) and associated activity regarding manufactured PFAS products that 3M plans to exit by the end of 2025 included within the Transportation and Electronics business segment. Estimated income does not contemplate impacts on non-operating items such as net interest income/expense and the non-service cost components portion of defined benefit plan net periodic benefit costs. Relative to the impact of the activity of manufactured PFAS products on cash provided by (used in) operating activities, amounts are based on estimates of associated income, depreciation/amortization, certain changes in working capital and accruals, and timing of associated payments.

Pension risk transfer charge:
In the second quarter of 2024, 3M recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge reflected in other expense (income), net as a result of transferring a portion of its U.S. pension payment obligations and related plan assets to an insurance company
Solventum ownership - change in value:
This amount relates to the change in value of 3M's retained ownership interest in Solventum common stock reflected in other expense (income), net.
Transformation costs:
These represent net costs associated with 3M's transformation program, intended as a structural redesign of longer-term manufacturing, distribution, and business process services and locations. Accordingly, 3M does not consider the nature or effect of this program to be normal, operating expenses related to the Company’s ongoing operations, revenue generating activities, and day-to-day business strategy. Net costs include restructuring and other related items such as site closure, sale, moving and set-up, accelerated depreciation, and program management.
