FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

3M Reports Record Second-Quarter Results;
Company Posts Sales of $7.8 Billion and Earnings per Share of $1.71

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. — July 25, 2013 - 3M (NYSE: MMM) today reported second-quarter earnings of $1.71 per share, an increase of 3.0 percent versus the second quarter of 2012. Sales grew 2.9 percent year-on-year to a record $7.8 billion. Organic local-currency sales grew 2.3 percent and acquisitions added 1.9 percent to sales. Currency impacts reduced sales by 1.3 percent year-on-year.

 

Operating income was $1.7 billion and operating income margins for the quarter were 22.0 percent. Second-quarter net income was $1.2 billion and free cash flow was $1.3 billion.

 

The company paid $436 million in cash dividends to shareholders and repurchased $1.2 billion of its own shares during the quarter.

 

Organic local-currency sales growth was 5.7 percent in Health Care, 3.3 percent in Industrial, 2.9 percent in Consumer and 2.0 percent in Safety and Graphics; Electronics and Energy declined 2.1 percent year-on-year. On a geographic basis, organic local-currency sales grew 8.5 percent in Latin America/Canada, 2.2 percent in Asia Pacific, 1.9 percent in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and 0.8 percent in the U.S.

 

“This was a good quarter for 3M, with strong performances across the portfolio,” said Inge G. Thulin, 3M’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Four of our five business segments achieved positive organic growth and posted operating margins above 21 percent. We converted 107 percent of net income to free cash flow in the quarter, which fueled ongoing investment in the business and allowed for significant cash returned to shareholders. Our employees executed well in the face of continued slow economic growth.”

 

3M reiterated its 2013 full-year performance expectations. The company anticipates 2013 earnings to be in the range of $6.60 to $6.85 per share with organic local-currency sales growth of 2 to 5 percent. 3M continues to expect free cash flow conversion will be in the range of 90 to 100 percent.

 

In addition, the company now expects full-year gross share repurchases will be in the range of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion versus a previous range of $2 billion to $3 billion.

(a)         Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with 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 various working capital 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. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

3M Company and Subsidiaries

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

(Dollars in millions)

(Unaudited)

 

Effective in the first quarter of 2013, 3M completed a realignment of its business groups (segments) to better serve global markets and customers. This realignment included:

 

·                  The alignment of divisions into five business groups (segments) as further described below.

·                  The combination of certain existing divisions into new divisions. These included the Traffic Safety and Security Division (reflecting the combination of the former Traffic Safety Systems Division and Security Systems Division) and the Optical Systems Division (reflecting the combination of the former Optical Systems Division and Mobile Interactive Solutions Division).

·                  The movement of certain product lines between various divisions.

 

In addition to the above, there were also adjustments for dual credit reporting to reflect the realigned structure. The new structure is comprised of five business segments: Industrial, Safety and Graphics, Electronics and Energy, Health Care, and Consumer.

 

Industrial: This business segment, previously referred to as Industrial and Transportation, is largely unchanged, except for the transfer of the Renewable Energy Division to the Electronics and Energy business segment.

 

Safety and Graphics: This business segment includes Architectural Markets, Building and Commercial Services, Commercial Graphics, Industrial Mineral Products, Personal Safety, and Traffic Safety and Security. This new business segment also reflects the movement of certain product lines between various divisions.

 

Electronics and Energy: This business segment includes Communication Markets, Electrical Markets, Electronics Markets Materials, Electronic Solutions, Infrastructure Protection, Optical Systems, Renewable Energy, and 3M Touch Systems. This new business segment also reflects the movement of certain product lines between various divisions.

 

Health Care: This business segment is largely unchanged, except for the movement of certain product lines between various divisions.

 

Consumer: This business segment, previously referred to as Consumer and Office, is largely unchanged, except for the movement of certain product lines between various divisions.

 

The financial information presented herein reflects, for all periods presented, the impact of this realignment.
