Performance by Business Segment

Disclosures relating to 3M’s business segments are provided in Note 20. 3M manages its continuing operations in three business segments. The reportable segments are Safety and Industrial; Transportation and Electronics; and Consumer.

Safety and Industrial Business (45.6% of consolidated sales):
20252024
Sales (millions)$11,384$10,961
Sales change analysis:
Organic sales(b)3.2%0.7%
Translation0.7(0.7)
Total sales change3.9%—%
Business segment operating income (millions)$2,836$2,491
Percent change13.9%7.2%
Percent of sales24.9%22.7%

Year 2025 results: Sales in Safety and Industrial were up 3.9 percent in U.S. dollars.

Organic sales increased in electrical markets, industrial adhesives and tapes, personal safety, abrasives and industrial specialties, driven by demand in key underlying markets and commercial excellence; challenges in roofing granules and automotive aftermarket resulted in decreased sales.

Business segment operating income margins increased year-on-year primarily driven by benefits from growth, productivity and lower restructuring costs. These benefits were partially offset by continued growth investments in the business and cost dis-synergies due to the exit of PFAS manufacturing and 2024 spin of Solventum.

Adjusting for special item costs for significant litigation (non-GAAP measure) related to respirator mask/asbestos, business segment operating income margins increased YoY from 23.1 percent to 25.4 percent. Refer to the Certain amounts adjusted for special items - (non-GAAP measures) section below for additional details.

Year 2024 results: Sales in Safety and Industrial were flat in U.S. dollars.

Organic sales increased in roofing granules, industrial adhesives and tapes and in electrical markets due to strong demand for bonding solutions and residential roof replacements, were flat in automotive aftermarket and personal safety, and decreased in industrial specialties and abrasives as industrial end-market demand remained mixed and cautious, including weaker EMEA industrial and manufacturing conditions.

Business segment operating income margins increased year-on-year primarily driven by benefits from growth, productivity and spending discipline partially offset by translation, growth investments and dis-synergies due to the spin of Solventum.

Adjusting for special item costs for significant litigation (non-GAAP measure) related to respirator mask/asbestos, business segment operating income margins increased YoY from 22.0 percent to 23.1 percent. Refer to the Certain amounts adjusted for special items - (non-GAAP measures) section below for additional details.

Transportation and Electronics Business (33.2% of consolidated sales):
20252024
Sales (millions)$8,272$8,380
Sales change analysis:
Organic sales(b)(1.5)%(1.0)%
Acquisitions(c)—0.6
Divestitures(c)(0.1)—
Translation0.3(1.0)
Total sales change(1.3)%(1.4)%
Business segment operating income (millions)$1,436$1,578
Percent change(9.0)%20.2 %
Percent of sales17.4%18.8 %

Year 2025 results: Sales in Transportation and Electronics were down 1.3 percent in U.S. dollars.

Organic sales increased in commercial branding and transportation and decreased in advanced materials, electronics, and automotive and aerospace, driven by commercial excellence, while growth was negatively impacted by headwinds related to PFAS manufactured products (impacting electronics and advanced materials), the automotive OEM business, and commercial vehicles.

Divestitures:

Impact relates to the lost sales year-on-year from a divestiture discussed in Note 4.

Business segment operating income margins decreased YoY due to challenging comparison against last year's strong share gains from spec-in wins and new product introductions in automotive and consumer electronics, continued growth investments in the business, and cost dis-synergies due to the exit of PFAS manufacturing and 2024 spin of Solventum, partially offset by benefits from growth, productivity and lower restructuring costs. PFAS manufacturing losses increased YoY as manufacturing concluded in 2025. PFAS manufacturing results were also negatively impacted by updates to depreciable lives and salvage values of remaining treatment-related assets based on site disposition activities.

Adjusted for special item PFAS manufacturing products (non-GAAP measure), sales of $7,603 million were up 2.3 percent YoY in U.S. dollars, or up 2.0 percent organically; while business segment operating income margins decreased YoY from 23.2 percent to 22.7 percent. Refer to the Certain amounts adjusted for special items - (non-GAAP measures) section below for additional details.

Year 2024 results: Sales in Transportation and Electronics were down 1.4 percent in U.S. dollars.

Organic sales increased in electronics driven by new product launches and spec-wins that supported share gains, were flat in commercial branding and transportation, and decreased in advanced materials due to headwinds in PFAS manufactured products (which also negatively impacted electronics) and in automotive and aerospace from lower automotive OEM build rates.

Acquisitions/divestitures:

Divestiture and acquisition impacts relate to lost/gained Transportation and Electronics sales year-on-year from the Aearo Entities. In the third quarter of 2022, 3M deconsolidated the Aearo Entities and, in the second quarter of 2023, reconsolidated those entities. For each of the 12-months post-deconsolidation and post-reconsolidation, impacts are each reflected separately as divestiture and acquisition, respectively.

Business segment operating income margins increased year-on-year driven by benefits from non-PFAS manufacturing growth and productivity, spending discipline, and restructuring partially offset by dis-synergies due to the spin of Solventum. Margins were also impacted by decreased PFAS manufacturing.

Adjusting for special item PFAS manufactured products (non-GAAP measure), sales of $7,435 million were up 3.1 percent YoY in U.S. dollars, or up 3.4 percent organically; while business segment operating income margins increased YoY from 21.0 percent to 23.2 percent. Refer to the Certain amounts adjusted for special items - (non-GAAP measures) section below for additional details.

Consumer Business (19.7% of consolidated sales):
20252024
Sales (millions)$4,920$4,931
Sales change analysis:
Organic sales(b)(0.3)%(1.2)%
Translation0.1(0.7)
Total sales change(0.2)%(1.9)%
Business segment operating income (millions)$996$932
Percent change6.9%3.1%
Percent of sales20.2%18.9%

Year 2025 results: Sales in Consumer were down 0.2 percent in U.S. dollars.

Organic sales increased in consumer safety and well-being and home and auto care, driven by new product launches, service improvements, and increased advertising and merchandising investment; while soft consumer discretionary spending contributed to flat sales in home improvement and decreased sales in packaging and expression.

Business segment operating income margins increased YoY driven by benefits from growth, productivity, and lower restructuring costs partially offset by continued growth investments in the business and cost dis-synergies due to the exit of PFAS manufacturing and 2024 spin of Solventum.

Year 2024 results: Sales in Consumer were down 1.9 percent in U.S. dollars.

Organic sales increased in home improvement, and decreased in home and auto care, packaging and expression and consumer safety and well-being, driven by softness in consumer discretionary spending along with product portfolio and geographic prioritization.

Business segment operating income margins increased year-on-year driven by benefits from productivity actions, portfolio initiatives, and spending discipline partially offset by organic decline and dis-synergies due to the spin of Solventum.

Corporate and Other: Outside of 3M's reportable 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 is further described in Note 20.

Refer to the Certain amounts adjusted for special items - (non-GAAP measures) section below and Note 20 for details on the components of corporate special items and their impact. Corporate-level income, net, increased YoY in 2025, primarily due to the extent of transition arrangement income from divested businesses (and associated costs) largely related to Solventum's April 2024 Separation as well as the extent of non-discontinued operations-eligible former Solventum-allocated costs included in Corporate and Other prior to the Separation. Corporate-level expense, net, decreased YoY in 2024, primarily due to the extent of non-discontinued operations-eligible former Solventum-allocated costs included in Corporate and Other prior to Solventum's April 2024 Separation.
