Operating Segments and Sales Change Information

Solventum manages its operations in four business segments: MedSurg, Dental Solutions, Health Information Systems, and Purification and Filtration. On February 25, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Purification and Filtration business to Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. for $4.1 billion. The closing of the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the 2025 calendar year, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

References are made to organic sales change, which is defined as the change in net sales, absent the separate impacts on sales from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures, and to constant currency change, which is defined as the change in net sales absent the impact on sales from foreign currency translation. Other, as comprised in the tables below, includes acquisition and divestiture-related activities. Acquisitions include non-health care related supply agreements that conveyed from 3M to the Company at Spin-Off and sales from new supply agreements with 3M that commenced at Spin-Off. Divestiture impacts include lost sales from the Company’s dental anesthetics business that was sold in August 2023 as well as lost sales from certain health care businesses retained by 3M India in connection with the Spin-Off. Solventum believes this information is useful to investors and management in understanding ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Net Sales by Geographic Area

While the Company manages its businesses globally and believes its business segment results are the most relevant measure of performance, the Company also utilizes geographic area data as a secondary performance measure. Sales are generally reported within the geographic area based on the location of the customer taking possession of the products or in which services are rendered.

Percent change information compares the three months ended March 31, 2025 with the same period for the prior year, unless otherwise indicated.

Additional information beyond what is included in the preceding table is as follows:

First quarter 2025 results

•In the United States geographic area, both total sales and organic sales increased. Organic growth occurred across all segments, led by MedSurg.

•In the International geographic area, total sales were flat while organic sales increased. Organic growth was led by MedSurg.

Managing currency risks

Prior to April 1, 2024, Solventum indirectly participated in 3M’s centrally managed hedging program, which utilizes a number of tools to manage currency risk including natural hedges such as pricing, productivity, hard currency, hard currency-indexed billings, and localizing source of supply. 3M also used financial hedges to mitigate currency risk. Starting in the second quarter of 2024, Solventum established its own hedging program. Refer to Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

The stronger U.S. dollar had a negative worldwide impact on sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024. Solventum estimates that year-on-year foreign currency transaction effects, including hedging impacts, decreased pre-tax income by approximately $2 million at March 31, 2025.
