FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

3M Reports Higher First-Quarter Sales and Earnings

Q1 2005 EPS Increases 14.4 percent

 

ST.  PAUL, Minn. – April 18, 2005 – 3M (NYSE:MMM) today announced a 14.4 percent increase in first-quarter earnings per share.

 

The company reported net income of $809 million, or $1.03 per share, versus $722 million, or $0.90 per share in the first quarter of 2004.  Net income increased 12.0 percent.

 

“Broad-based productivity improvements achieved through our corporate initiatives and solid growth in key areas, like optical films and health care, helped us deliver over 14 percent earnings per share growth in the first quarter,” said W. James McNerney, Jr., 3M Chairman and CEO.  “Improved operational efficiency, sales growth, and pricing were key to overcoming slow economic growth in Western Europe and Japan and continued raw material price pressure.”

 

Worldwide sales in the first quarter totaled $5.17 billion, 4.6 percent higher than in the year-earlier quarter. Local currency sales increased 2.3 percent, with selling prices contributing 0.5 percent.  Currency effects increased sales by 2.3 percent. Local-currency sales increased 5.2 percent in Health Care; 4.5 percent in Transportation; 3.0 percent in Safety, Security and Protection Services; 2.6 percent in Industrial; and 0.6 percent in Display and Graphics; and declined 0.5 percent in Consumer and Office, and 1.4 percent in Electro and Communications.

 

“Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage sales growth and productivity improvements into sustainable earnings growth despite continued slow growth in the mature economies,” McNerney said. “We expect to deliver higher organic growth rates the rest of this year through new product sales enabled by our diverse technology platforms; our Acceleration initiative; growth drivers, like LCD films; and our strong presence in fast-growth markets like China and Eastern Europe.”

 

3M also reaffirmed its earnings guidance for 2005.  For the year, the company expects earnings to be within a range of $4.15 to $4.25 per share. The company expects full-year local currency growth of 5 to 8 percent.  Second-quarter earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.08 to $1.10 per share, with local currency growth of 4 to 7 percent.

 



 

Patrick D. Campbell, senior vice president and chief financial officer, will conduct an investor teleconference at 9 a.m. Eastern Time (8 a.m. Central Time) today. Investors can access a webcast of this conference, along with related charts and materials, at http://investor.3M.com.

(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 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.

Segment assets for the seven operating business segments (excluding Corporate and Unallocated) primarily include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment – net; goodwill and intangible assets; and other miscellaneous assets. Assets included in Corporate and Unallocated principally are cash and cash equivalents; insurance receivables; deferred income taxes; certain investments and other assets, including prepaid pension assets; and certain unallocated property,

 



 

plant and equipment. Corporate and Unallocated assets increased approximately $2.6 billion in 2004, primarily due to increases in prepaid pension assets ($2.0 billion) and increases in cash and cash equivalents ($0.9 billion), with partial offsets in other asset accounts. Corporate and Unallocated assets increased approximately $2.0 billion in 2003 due to increases in cash and cash equivalents ($1.2 billion), increases in other current assets and other assets primarily related to higher insurance receivables and prepaid items ($500 million), and goodwill increases related to the 2003 acquisition of an additional 25% of Sumitomo 3M ($300 million). For management reporting purposes, corporate goodwill (which at December 31, 2004, totaled approximately $360 million), is not allocated to the seven operating business segments. Corporate goodwill has been allocated to the respective market segments as required by SFAS No. 142 for impairment testing.

 

Corporate and Unallocated operating income principally includes corporate investment gains and losses, certain derivative gains and losses, insurance-related gains and losses, certain litigation expenses, corporate restructuring program charges and other miscellaneous items. Because this category includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis. In 2004, Corporate and Unallocated operating income includes increases of $40 million in the respirator mask/asbestos litigation reserves, partially offset by a $20 million increase in the associated receivables resulting in a net cost of $20 million, and also includes a $6 million increase in implant litigation reserves and a $10 million decrease in implant receivables resulting in a net cost of $16 million. In 2003, this includes a pre-tax charge of $93 million recorded during the first quarter related to an adverse ruling associated with a lawsuit filed against 3M in 1997 by LePage’s Inc. Corporate and unallocated operating income in 2003 also includes increases of $231 million in the respirator mask/asbestos litigation reserves, partially offset by a $205 million increase in the associated receivables, resulting in a net cost of $26 million. In 2002, Corporate and Unallocated operating income includes charges of $202 million related to the 2001/2002 corporate restructuring program. Depreciation and amortization of $954 million included accelerated depreciation (shortened lives) of $47 million related to the restructuring plan (recorded in Corporate and Unallocated).
