Restructuring Actions | NOTE 6. Restructuring Actions 2023 to 2025 Structural Reorganization Actions: In 2023, 3M announced it would undertake structural reorganization actions to reduce the size of the corporate center of the Company, simplify supply chain, streamline 3M’s geographic footprint, reduce layers of management, further align business go-to-market models to customers, and reduce manufacturing roles to align with production volumes. This aggregate initiative, beginning in the first quarter of 2023 and continuing through 2025, is expected (as updated to exclude discontinued operations) to impact approximately 8,000 positions worldwide with an expected pre-tax charge of $700 million to $800 million over that period. During 2023, management approved and committed to undertake associated actions resulting in a 2023 pre-tax charge of $415 million. During 2024, management approved and committed to undertake additional actions under this initiative impacting approximately 1,100 positions and other actions resulting in a pre-tax charge of $187 million. Since its beginning in 2023 through committed 2024 actions, this initiative has impacted approximately 6,800 positions worldwide. Remaining activities related to the restructuring actions approved and committed through 2024 under this initiative are expected to be completed in 2025. 3M expects to commit to further actions under this initiative.
