Organization and Description of Business

Solventum Corporation (“Solventum” or the “Company”) was a business of 3M Company (“3M”). On April 1, 2024 (the “Distribution Date”), 3M completed the previously announced spin-off of Solventum Corporation (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of approximately 80.1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock to holders of record of 3M’s common stock as of the close of business on March 18, 2024 (the “Distribution”), which resulted in the issuance of 172,709,505 shares of common stock. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. Solventum’s common stock is listed under the symbol “SOLV” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Solventum is a leading global healthcare company with a broad portfolio of trusted solutions that leverage deep material science, data science, and digital capabilities to address critical customer needs. Solventum is organized into three reportable business segments that are aligned with the end markets that the Company serves: MedSurg, Dental Solutions and Health Information Systems.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The interim condensed 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 periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to April 1, 2024, Solventum was a carve-out business of 3M. The Company’s financial statements prior to April 1, 2024 were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of 3M, including the historical cost basis of assets and liabilities comprising the Company, as well as the historical revenues, direct costs, and allocations of indirect costs attributable to the operations of the Company, using the historical accounting policies applied by 3M. The financial statements included in this interim report are referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for all periods presented.

All amounts discussed are in millions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Amounts reported within this interim report are rounded to the nearest million and the sum of the components may not equal the total amount reported due to rounding. Additionally, certain columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.

All intercompany transactions and balances within Solventum have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include certain transactions with 3M, which are disclosed as related party transactions in Note 16, “Related Parties”.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
