Restructuring Actions | NOTE 6. Restructuring Actions 2023 to 2025 Structural Reorganization Actions: As described in Note 6 in 3M's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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. 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, the relevant portion of which relating to the first quarter is indicated in the table below. In the first quarter of 2025, management approved and committed to undertake additional actions resulting in a pre-tax charge as indicated in the table below. Since its beginning in 2023 through committed first quarter 2025 actions, this initiative impacted approximately 6,800 positions worldwide. Remaining activities related to the restructuring actions approved and committed through March 31, 2025 under this initiative are expected to be largely completed in 2025. 3M expects to commit to further actions under this initiative. The related restructuring charges for periods presented were recorded in the income (loss) statement as follows:

In the first quarter of 2024, management approved and committed to undertake actions resulting in an immaterial pre-tax charge. During the first quarter of 2025, such actions resulted in a pre-tax charge as indicated in the table below.
