EXHIBIT 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ST. PAUL, Minn. — July 19, 2004 — 3M (NYSE: MMM) today announced its second quarter 2004 sales and earnings results.
Net income for the quarter was $773 million, or $0.97 per share, versus $619 million, or $0.78 per share, in the second quarter of 2003. Second quarter net income increased nearly 25 percent, and per-share earnings increased more than 24 percent.
“Solid sales growth and continued operational efficiency produced another outstanding earnings result,” said W. James McNerney, Jr., 3M chairman and CEO. “Our employees continued to drive growth through strong connections with customers, leveraging our corporate initiatives and diverse technology base while maintaining good cost discipline.”
Worldwide sales in the second quarter totaled $5.01 billion, 9.5 percent higher than in the year-earlier quarter. Global sales volumes increased 7.7 percent, which is the fourth consecutive quarter of volume growth above 7 percent. Local-currency sales (which excludes the impact of currency translation on sales) increased 18.2 percent in Display and Graphics, 10.4 percent in Industrial, 4.8 percent in Electro and Communications, 4.3 percent in Transportation, 4.2 percent in Consumer and Office, 3.4 percent in Safety, Security and Protection Services, and .3 percent in Health Care. Currency effects increased sales by 2.8 percent while selling prices declined 1.0 percent.
Sales outside the United States totaled $3.04 billion, an increase of 14.4 percent versus the second quarter of last year. Volumes increased 10.9 percent, while selling prices declined 1.3 percent. Currency translation effects increased international sales by 4.8 percent. Local-currency sales increased 18.5 percent in Asia Pacific, 13.8 percent in the combined Latin America, Africa and Canada region and 0.5 percent in Europe.
In the United States, sales totaled $1.97 billion, up 2.7 percent from the same quarter of 2003. Volumes increased 3.1 percent, and selling prices declined by 0.4 percent.
“Our broad-based growth in the second quarter reflects the fundamental strength of the 3M business model. Organic growth remains our focus, enabled by the 3M Acceleration initiative and the market focused organization structure we established in 2003,” McNerney said. “Although continued geopolitical uncertainty causes us to maintain a conservative economic outlook, we are confident in our ability to deliver solid results.”
3M also increased its earnings outlook for 2004. The company now expects reported earnings will be within a range of $3.72 to $3.75 per share for the year, versus a previous expectation of $3.60 to $3.70 per share. 3M expects third-quarter earnings per share to match the company’s record second quarter performance of .97 per share.
Petrick D. Campbell, senior vice president and chief financial officer, will conduct an investor teleconference at 9 a.m. Eastern Time (8 a.m. Central) today. Investors can access a webcast of this conference, along with related charts and materials, at http://investor.3M.com.

(a) In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also discloses non-GAAP results that exclude special items. Special items represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the company’s ongoing operations. The company provides reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial reporting to the most comparable GAAP reporting. The company believes that discussion of results excluding special items provides a useful analysis of ongoing operating trends. Earnings per share and other amounts before special items are not measures recognized under GAAP. The determination of special items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. During the first quarter of 2003, 3M recorded pretax charges of $93 million ($58 million after-tax) related to an adverse court ruling in a lawsuit filed against 3M in 1997 by LePage’s Inc.

(a) Free cash flow is not defined under GAAP. Therefore, it is considered a non-GAAP measure. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The company believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company and its ability to generate cash.
(b) The company also uses non-GAAP measures that place emphasis and focus on certain working capital assets and liabilities. 3M’s net working capital index is defined as quarterly net sales multiplied by four, divided by ending net accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable. This measure is not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
