Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation: The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in its 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. In addition, information provided herein reflects the impact of the following changes for all applicable periods presented. •As discussed in Note 2, on April 1, 2024, 3M completed the previously announced separation of its Health Care business (the Separation) resulting in Solventum becoming an independent public company. As a result, 3M no longer consolidates Solventum into 3M’s financial results and reports Solventum's historical net income, applicable assets and liabilities in 3M's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. New Accounting Pronouncements: Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in 3M's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of applicable standards issued and not yet adopted by 3M.
