“EOY” = End of Year, “BOY” = Beginning of Year Pension value service cost is calculated as the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to services rendered by the executive during the applicable fiscal year under the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, using the same methodology used in the Company’s GAAP financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. (ii)For this purpose, the fair value of equity awards was calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The fair value of unvested time-based share awards, as well as the fair value of all share-based awards upon vesting, is based upon the closing price for a share of 3M common stock on the NYSE for the applicable date of measurement. The fair value of unvested performance share awards is based upon the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions at the time of measurement. The fair value of unvested options, and the fair value received upon the vesting of stock options, is based upon the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of measurement, consistent with the stock option valuation model used to determine amounts reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. |  |  |

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return | Relationship between Company TSR and Peer Group TSR and CAP and Company TSR. The graphs below illustrate the relationship between our TSR and the Peer Group TSR, as well as the relationship between CAP and our TSR for the CEO and other NEOs. For reference, SCT total compensation values for each year are also shown. As the graphs below illustrate, CAP amounts for our CEO are generally aligned with 3M’s TSR. For the other NEOs, CAP and SCT total compensation values in 2023 are much higher than in the prior years due primarily to the special make-whole cash and RSU awards provided to Mr. Hanson to replace compensation he forfeited when he left his prior employer to join 3M. Because of these one-time awards, the alignment between CAP amounts for our other NEOs and 3M’s TSR in 2023 is not as apparent. The graph below also illustrates the relationship between our TSR and the Peer Group TSR. CEO pay vs. performance: Total shareholder return
n | CEO SCT | n | CEO CAP | — | Peer Group TSR | — | 3M TSR
Other NEOs Pay vs. performance: Total shareholder return
n | Other NEOs SCT | n | Other NEOs CAP | — | Peer Group TSR | — | 3M TSR
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income | Relationship between CAP and GAAP Net Income. The graph below reflects the relationship between the CEO and average other NEO CAP and our GAAP Net Income. Average other NEO CAP value in 2023 is much higher than in the prior years due primarily to the special make-whole cash and RSU awards provided to Mr. Hanson to replace compensation he forfeited when he left his prior employer to join 3M. Our fiscal year 2023 financial results include special items that had a significant negative impact on our GAAP net income, the most significant of which was $11.6 billion in after-tax net costs for significant litigation associated with PFAS-related other environmental and Combat Arms Earplugs matters. GAAP net income is not used as a metric in our annual or long-term incentive plans. Refer to the CD&A for information on the financial metrics utilized in our compensation plans, and to the Appendices for a detailed reconciliation of these measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
n | CEO CAP | n | Other NEOs CAP |  | GAAP Net Income
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure | Relationship between CAP and Organic Sales Growth (our Company-Selected Measure). The graph below reflects the relationship between CEO and average other NEO CAP and Organic Sales Growth. 2023 organic growth was negatively impacted by declines in consumer-facing markets such as electronics and consumer retail, disposable respirator sales declines, normalization of post-COVID-related biopharma demand, declines in health information systems from tighter hospital budgets, the Company’s exit from Russia, and slowing growth in China. Average other NEO CAP value in 2023 is much higher than in the prior years due primarily to the special make-whole cash and RSU awards provided to Mr. Hanson to replace compensation he forfeited when he left his prior employer to join 3M.
