Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Description of Business
Solventum Corporation ("Solventum," "we," "our," "us," 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.
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, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”).

NOTE 2. Revenue Recognition
Contract Balances
Unearned revenue primarily relates to revenue that is recognized over time for one-year software license contracts. Approximately $226 million of the December 31, 2025 balance was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026, while approximately $220 million of the December 31, 2024 balance was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating Lease Revenue
Sales of software and rental includes rental revenue from durable medical devices as part of operating lease arrangements (reported within the MedSurg segment), which was $151 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $144 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Customer Concentration
No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. Additionally, no customers accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

NOTE 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
The Company had no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
In December 2025, the Company acquired Acera Surgical ("Acera"), a privately held bioscience company. Refer to the Company's 2025 Annual Report for additional details of the acquisition.

Total purchase consideration includes a future payment that is contingent on the acquired business achieving a sales-based milestone on or before December 31, 2030. The payment owed upon achievement of the milestone is $125 million. The fair value of the future milestone payment was $80 million at December 31, 2025. The change in the fair value of the contingent payment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was not material. The contingent payment is classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Acera purchase price allocations are considered preliminary as of March 31, 2026, with final estimates of fair value expected to be completed by the end of 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an adjustment to the purchase price allocation of $21 million, primarily related to deferred taxes.
Divestitures
On September 1, 2025, Solventum completed the sale of its Purification and Filtration business to Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. ("Buyer"). Refer to the Company's 2025 Annual Report for additional details of the divestiture.
In connection with the sale, the Company entered into various transition service agreements to provide certain support services for a period of up to 24 months from the closing of the sale. As certain services were contracted at a price below fair market value, the Company recognized an unfavorable contract liability of $113 million. The liability is being recognized as services are provided over the terms of the agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $34 million of transition service income, including income related to the unfavorable contract liability, within selling, general and administrative expenses as an offset to costs incurred to support transition services provided to Buyer. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining balance of the unfavorable contract liability was $86 million.

NOTE 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The acquisition activity in the following table includes the net impact of adjustments to the preliminary allocation of purchase price within the one year measurement-period following prior acquisitions related to the Acera acquisition, which decreased goodwill by $21 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

•Defined benefit pension and postretirement plans: amounts were reclassified into other expense (income), net (see Note 10).
•Cash flow hedging: foreign currency forward contract amounts were reclassified into cost of sales (see Note 11).
•The tax effects, if applicable, associated with these reclassifications were reflected in provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

NOTE 8. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 19.3% and (262.1)%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the non-recurrence of the prior year tax benefit related to the Purification and Filtration divestiture, as well as an unfavorable geographic mix of earnings.

12
The Company’s income tax provision or benefit for the interim periods is determined based on an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. Because significant foreign earnings are generated by the Company’s subsidiaries organized in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate may be materially impacted if earnings in these lower-tax jurisdictions fluctuate.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized based on an evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount realizable.

NOTE 9. Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying value includes the impact of debt issuance costs. Long-term debt and short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted of the following:

Senior Notes
The Company’s borrowings include $5.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes with maturity dates ranging from 2027 through 2064 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture between the Company and a trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge, convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets. In addition, the Indenture contains other customary terms, including certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the Senior Notes may be declared immediately due and payable. The Company is in compliance with all covenants related to the Senior Notes.
Other borrowings consists of term loans utilized in connection with the exit of certain transition agreements with 3M.
Credit Facilities
On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into credit agreements providing for:
•a five year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $2.0 billion expiring in 2029 (the “5-year Revolving Credit Facility”); and
•an eighteen month senior unsecured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (matured in 2025) and a three year senior unsecured term credit loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (together, the “Term Loan Credit Facilities,” and together with the 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan Credit Facilities have a floating interest rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) index.
At March 31, 2026, there are no amounts outstanding under the 5-year Revolving Credit Facility.

13
Commercial Paper
On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into a commercial paper program that allows it to issue up to $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of short-term notes to finance short-term liabilities. Any such issuance will mature within 364 days from date of issue. There was no commercial paper outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
Future Maturities of Long-term Debt: Maturities of long-term debt in the table below reflect the impact of repayment such that total maturities equal the contractual value of long-term debt net of amounts repaid as of March 31, 2026. The maturities of long-term debt for the periods subsequent to March 31, 2026 are as follows (in millions):

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. At March 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt obligations, comprised of both Senior Notes and Term Loan Credit Facilities with current portions excluded, was $4.7 billion compared to a carrying value of $4.6 billion. At December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt obligations, comprised of both Senior Notes and Term Loan Credit Facilities with current portions excluded, was $5.2 billion compared to a carrying value of $5.0 billion. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the publicly registered Senior Notes, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values and principal values consider the terms of the related debt and exclude the impacts of debt discounts. Because there is no active market for trading outstanding term loans, the fair values of the Term Loan Credit Facilities are estimated to be equal to their respective carrying values.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company made cash contributions totaling $4 million to its international pension plans. In 2026, the Company expects to make total cash contributions of approximately $22 million to these plans. The Company funds annually, at a minimum, the statutorily required minimum amount for our qualified plans. Non-qualified plans are unfunded and we pay benefits from our cash on hand. Future contributions will depend on market conditions, interest rates and other factors.

NOTE 11. Derivatives
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and net investments in foreign operations. Refer to the Company's 2025 Annual Report for additional details on the Company's derivative instruments both designated and not designated in hedging relationships.
14
Cash Flow Hedges - For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
Cash Flow Hedging - Foreign Currency Forward Contracts: The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement or extension of these derivatives will result in reclassifications (from accumulated other comprehensive income) to earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Solventum may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance of the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the forecasted transaction occurs or becomes probable of not occurring. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings. The maximum length of time over which Solventum hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows of the forecasted transactions is 24 months.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a balance of $1 million associated with the after-tax net unrealized loss associated with cash flow hedging instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Of the total after-tax net unrealized balance as of March 31, 2026, Solventum expects to reclassify to earnings approximately $2 million after-tax net unrealized loss over the next 12 months based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2026.
Fair Value Hedges - The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt. Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps and changes in fair value of the hedged debt are recorded to interest expense in the period they occur. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the gain associated with the designated interest rate swaps and the change in fair value of the hedged debt was not material. There were no derivative instruments designated in fair value hedging relationships for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
In January 2026, the Company entered into an additional $100 million notional fixed-to-floating interest rate swap with a maturity date of March 2031. In February 2026, the Company entered into an additional $100 million notional fixed-to-floating interest rate swap with a maturity date of March 2033. These derivatives were designated as fair value hedges of the Company's Senior Notes.
At March 31, 2026, the total notional amount of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $300 million.
Net Investment Hedges - The Company enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge portions of the Company’s investment in foreign operations and manage foreign exchange risk. For instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations and that meet the effectiveness requirements, the net gains and losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in cumulative translation within other comprehensive income. The remainder of the change in value of such instruments is recorded in earnings. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded in cumulative translation is limited to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the foreign operation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the pre-tax gain recognized in cumulative translation within other comprehensive income (loss) was $37 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the pre-tax loss recognized in cumulative translation within other comprehensive income (loss) was $11 million.
At March 31, 2026, the total notional amount of cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges was approximately $1.2 billion.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments - Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments include foreign currency contracts to offset, in part, the impacts of changes in value of various non-functional currency denominated items including certain intercompany financing balances.
These derivative instruments are not designated in a hedging relationship: therefore, fair value gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in earnings.
15
Statement of Income Location and Impact of Derivative Instruments
The impact to income related to both derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedging relationships and those not designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material. The impact from derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedging relationships was reflected within cost of sales and the impact from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was reflected within other expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.    
The amount of gain (loss) excluded from effectiveness testing recognized in income relative to instruments designated in net investment hedge relationships is not material.
Location, Fair Value, and Gross Notional Amounts of Derivative Instruments

Fair Value Disclosure: The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are required to be recorded at fair value. The Company’s derivatives that are recorded at fair value include foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps. Solventum has determined that these derivatives are considered Level 2 fair value measurements. Solventum determines fair value using observable inputs including foreign currency exchange rates.
Credit Risk and Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities of Derivative Instruments: The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties in forward contracts. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by selecting major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties. Solventum enters into master netting arrangements with counterparties, which may allow each counterparty to net settle amounts owed between a Solventum entity and the counterparty as a result of multiple, separate derivative transactions. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties.
Solventum has elected to present the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis even when derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements and may otherwise qualify for net presentation. Solventum determined that the impact of the amount of eligible offsetting derivative assets and liabilities was not material if it had elected to offset the asset and liability balances of derivative instruments, netted in accordance with various criteria in the event of default or termination as stipulated by the terms of netting arrangements with each of the counterparties. For each counterparty, if netted, the Company would offset the asset and liability balances of all derivatives at the end of the reporting period based on the Solventum entity that is a party to the transactions. Derivatives not subject to master netting agreements are not eligible for net presentation. For the periods presented, Solventum has not received cash collateral from derivative counterparties.

NOTE 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Solventum is the subject of numerous claims and lawsuits, principally in the United States, and regulatory proceedings worldwide. These claims, lawsuits and proceedings relate to matters including, but not limited to, product liability (involving products that the Company now or formerly manufactured and sold, including products made by the Health Care Business Group at 3M), intellectual property, commercial, antitrust, federal healthcare program related laws and regulations, such as the False Claims Act and anti-kickback laws in the United States and other jurisdictions. Unless otherwise stated, Solventum is vigorously defending any litigation and proceedings involving these matters. From time to time, Solventum also receives subpoenas, investigative demands or requests for information from various government agencies in the United States and foreign countries. Solventum generally responds in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such requests can also lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of administrative, civil, or criminal legal proceedings against Solventum and others, as well as to settlements. The outcomes of legal proceedings and regulatory matters are often difficult to predict. Any determination that the Company’s operations or activities are not, or were not, in compliance with applicable laws or regulations could result in an award of damages or the imposition of fines, civil or criminal penalties, and equitable remedies, including disgorgement, suspension or debarment or injunctive relief.
Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings
Many lawsuits and claims involve highly complex issues relating to causation, scientific evidence, and alleged actual damages, all of which are otherwise subject to substantial uncertainties. Assessments of lawsuits and claims can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The categories of legal proceedings in which the Company is involved may include multiple lawsuits and claims, may be spread across multiple jurisdictions and courts that may handle the lawsuits and claims differently, may involve numerous and different types of plaintiffs, raising claims and legal theories based on specific allegations that may not apply to other matters, and may seek substantial compensatory and, in some cases, punitive, damages. These and other factors contribute to the complexity of these lawsuits and claims and make it difficult for the Company to predict outcomes and make reasonable estimates of any resulting losses. The Company's ability to predict outcomes and make reasonable estimates of potential losses is further influenced by the fact that a resolution of one or more matters within a category of legal proceedings may impact the resolution of other matters in that category in terms of timing, amount of liability, or both.
When making determinations about recording liabilities related to legal proceedings, the Company complies with the requirements of ASC 450, Contingencies, and related guidance, and records liabilities in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when the loss is probable. Where the reasonable estimate of the probable loss is a range, the Company records as an accrual in its financial statements the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range if there is no one best estimate. The Company either discloses the amount of a possible loss or range of loss in excess of established accruals if estimable, or states that such an estimate cannot be made. The Company discloses significant legal proceedings even where liability is not probable or the amount of the liability is not estimable, or both, if the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. Based on experience and developments, the Company reexamines its estimates of probable liabilities and associated expenses and receivables each period, and whether a loss previously determined to not be reasonably estimable and/or not probable is now able to be reasonably estimated or has become probable. Where appropriate, the Company makes additions to or adjustments of its reasonably estimated losses and/or accruals. As a result, the current accruals and/or estimates of loss and the estimates of the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the legal proceedings and claims pending against the Company will likely change over time. During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized no legal charges and $12 million in legal charges, respectively. During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company made payments of zero and $3 million, respectively, related to a legal settlement, which reduced the accrued litigation balance. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrued litigation costs were $31 million.
Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or developments could occur, the Company may ultimately incur charges substantially in excess of presently recorded liabilities, including with respect to matters for which no accruals are currently recorded because losses are not currently probable and reasonably estimable. Many of the matters described herein are at varying stages, seek an indeterminate amount of damages or seek damages in amounts that the Company believes are not indicative of the ultimate losses that may be incurred. It is not uncommon for claims to be resolved over many years. As a matter progresses, the Company may receive information, through plaintiff demands, through discovery, in the form of reports of purported experts, or in the context of settlement or mediation discussions that purport to quantify an amount of alleged damages, but with which the Company may not agree. Such information may or may not lead the Company to determine that it is able to make a reasonable estimate as to a probable loss or range of loss in connection with a matter. However, even when a loss or range of loss is not probable and reasonably estimable, developments in, or the ultimate resolution of, a matter could be material to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its
17
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, future adverse rulings or developments, or settlements in, one or more matters could result in future changes to determinations of probable and reasonably estimable losses in other matters.
Process for Disclosure and Recording of Insurance Receivables Related to Legal Proceedings
The Company estimates insurance receivables based on an analysis of the terms of its numerous policies, including their exclusions, pertinent case law interpreting comparable policies, its experience with similar claims, and assessment of the nature of the claim and remaining coverage, and records an amount it has concluded is recognizable and expects to receive in light of the loss recovery and/or gain contingency models under ASC 450, ASC 610-30, and related guidance. For those insured legal proceedings for which the Company has recorded an accrued liability in its financial statements, the Company also records receivables for the amount of insurance that it concludes as recognizable from the Company’s insurance program. For those insured matters for which the Company has not recorded an accrued liability because the liability is not probable or the amount of the liability is not estimable, or both, but for which the Company has incurred an expense in defending itself, the Company records receivables for the amount of insurance that it concludes as recognizable for the expense incurred.
Product Liability Litigation
The following sections first describe the significant legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, and then describe the liabilities, if any, the Company has accrued relating to its significant legal proceedings.
3M is a named defendant in over 8,500 lawsuits in the United States and one Canadian putative class action with a single named plaintiff, alleging that they underwent various joint arthroplasty, cardiovascular, and other surgeries and later developed surgical site infections due to the use of the Bair Hugger patient warming system. Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between Solventum and 3M (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"), Solventum has agreed to indemnify 3M for uninsured liabilities related to the Bair Hugger patient warming system, to manage the litigation, and pay for legal expenses.
The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ("JPML") has consolidated all cases pending in federal courts to the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota to be managed in a multi-district litigation ("MDL") proceeding. In July 2019, the court excluded several of the plaintiffs’ causation experts, and granted summary judgment for 3M in all cases pending at that time in the MDL; however, those decisions were subsequently reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The parties are actively litigating several MDL bellwether and state court cases, with trials anticipated in 2026.
In addition to the federal MDL cases, there are eight state court personal injury cases relating to the Bair Hugger patient warming systems, including a multi-plaintiff case of amputees in Ramsey County, Minnesota. Additionally, a putative class action has been filed in Ramsey County, Minnesota, seeking economic damages for the use of the Bair Hugger system in knee and hip replacement surgeries involving medically obese people in Minnesota from May 2017 to the present.
In June 2016, 3M was served with a putative class action filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for all Canadian residents who underwent various joint arthroplasty, cardiovascular, and other surgeries and later developed surgical site infections that the representative plaintiff claims were due to the use of the Bair Hugger patient warming system. The representative plaintiff seeks relief (including punitive damages) under Canadian law based on theories similar to those asserted in the MDL.
For product liability litigation matters described in this section for which a liability has been recorded, the amount recorded is included in the disclosed amounts in the preceding "Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings" section and is not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In addition, the Company is not able to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded liability at this time.
Warranties/Guarantees
The Company had approximately $90 million and $82 million in bank guarantees, surety bonds, and other similar instruments issued and outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These instruments are utilized in connection with normal business activities. Furthermore, the Company does not disclose information on its product warranties, as management considers the balance immaterial to its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 13. Restructuring
Transform for the Future
In November 2025, the Company approved its new multiyear 'Transform for the Future' global initiative (the "Program") to further enable its long-term growth strategy and ensure it's best positioned to compete-to-win in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Designed to transform the cost structure, enhance operational efficiency, and reposition for profitable growth, the primary activities of the Program include operating structure optimization and workforce reorganization, procurement and cost management, supply chain, manufacturing and global footprint optimization, and streamlining systems and increased automation to improve operational efficiency. Once fully implemented, the four-year program is expected to generate approximately $500 million in annual cost savings, a portion of which will be reinvested in strategic growth initiatives. The Company anticipates cumulative pretax costs related to the Program will be approximately $500 million.

NOTE 14. Earnings Per Share
The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) is reflected in the calculation of earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share excludes certain shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans because the effect would have been antidilutive.
The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

NOTE 15. Stock-Based Compensation
Solventum grants annual stock-based compensation awards to certain employees and non-employee directors. In 2026, the Company's annual grant occurred in the first quarter and included: 1.3 million RSUs that vest over 3 years with a weighted average grant date fair value of $70.78 and 0.5 million PSUs that vest based on a combination of service, performance and market conditions, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $73.28. The actual number of PSUs that vest could range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares granted and will be determined based on the Company's performance against financial targets and total shareholder return relative to a selected industry peer group; performance is measured over a three-year period ending December 31, 2028.
RSU awards granted as part of the annual grant contain a retirement provision whereby employees who have reached age 55 and completed ten years of service with the Company continue to vest in their award after they retire. Expense for the RSU awards granted to retirement eligible recipients is immediately recognized on the grant date as the award contains a non-substantive vesting condition. Annual PSU awards contain a similar retirement provision, but include a one-year service condition to fully vest in the award. Expense for PSU awards to retirement eligible recipients is recognized over the one-year service period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Solventum offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which provides substantially all employees the option to purchase company stock through payroll deductions at a 15% discount, calculated based on the closing market price of Solventum stock at the end of the offering period. The plan provides two six-month offering periods, commencing on January 1 and July 1. An aggregate of 4.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock has been authorized for issuance under the ESPP. Expense related to the ESPP was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and is reflected in the stock-based compensation expense table below.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, RSUs, and PSUs are provided in the following table.

NOTE 16. Related Parties
Related Party Transactions After Spin-Off
Separation and Distribution Agreement and Other Related Party Transactions with 3M
In connection with the Spin-Off on April 1, 2024, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for Solventum's relationship with 3M after the separation and distribution. Below is a summary of activity between Solventum and 3M for the periods presented:
•Separation related adjustments, which are the net impact of certain assets and liabilities that were retained by 3M and those that were transferred to Solventum as of March 31, 2024. This activity, including adjustments since the Spin-Off, is reflected in the “Net transfers from/to 3M” line item of the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity.
•Transition agreement expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $105 million and $137 million, respectively, and are related to services received under transition agreements between the Company and 3M and its affiliates. These expenses are reflected in cost of product and operating expense (which is comprised of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses) on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income.
•Master Supply Agreements - The Company recognized revenue and cost of sales associated with products sold to 3M of $17 million and $11 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company recognized revenue and cost of sales associated with products sold to 3M of $20 million and $15 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cost of product related to purchases from 3M under the master supply agreements was $64 million and $63 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Related Party Transactions
The Company had the following transactions with 3M and its affiliates, primarily in connection with the transition and master supply agreements, reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:

Current amounts due from and due to 3M under various agreements described above are recognized within the due from related parties and due to related parties, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no non-current amounts due to 3M at March 31, 2026.

NOTE 17. Business Segments
Operating segments include components of an enterprise where separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The primary profitability measurement used by the CODM to review segment operating results is segment operating income. The CODM uses segment operating income to allocate resources during the strategic planning process and then holds the segments accountable to the resourcing decisions during the annual budgeting process. The CODM does not use asset information by segment to evaluate reportable segments as the CODM does not receive discrete asset information by segment. Beginning in third quarter 2025, as a result of the sale of the Purification and Filtration business, the Company’s operating activities are managed primarily through the following reportable segments: MedSurg, Dental Solutions, and Health Information Systems. There have been no changes to the composition of or to financial information reported within each of these reportable segments. These segments have been identified based on the nature of the products sold and how the Company manages its operations. Transactions among reportable segments are recorded at cost. No operating segments have been aggregated to form reportable segments.
All Other includes the Water Business, which was previously reported within the Purification and Filtration business segment. The Water Business results have been reclassified for comparability within All Other for all historical periods. All Other also includes sales and cost of sales related to our supply agreements with 3M and other supply agreements assumed by the Company at Spin-Off related to legacy 3M businesses, which were historically included in Corporate and Unallocated.
Certain items are maintained at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments ("Corporate and Unallocated"). Corporate and Unallocated primarily includes amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and related charges, timing related benefits or costs associated with capitalized manufacturing variances, charges and recoveries related to certain litigation, transaction-related costs for acquisitions and divestitures, and gains on sale of businesses. In addition, Corporate and Unallocated includes Spin-Off and separation related costs. Spin-Off and separation related costs include any costs incurred as part of our separation from 3M and costs to setup operations as a standalone company, including system implementations, manufacturing relocations, certain equity awards granted as part of the Spin-Off, profit mark-ups on transition service arrangements with 3M and other one-time costs. Corporate and Unallocated also includes income and costs related to transition service agreements entered into in connection with the sale of the Purification and Filtration business.
Because Corporate and Unallocated includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis. Business segment operating income is reconciled to total operating income and pre-tax income below.
Consistent accounting policies have been applied on a consolidated basis as well as by all segments for all reporting periods.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Solventum Corporation's ("Solventum," "we," "our," "us," or the "Company") condensed consolidated financial statements and corresponding notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of Solventum for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. For full understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, the discussion below should be read alongside the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of Solventum’s financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. Solventum’s MD&A is presented in the following sections:
•Overview
•Results of Operations
•Performance by Business Segment
•Financial Condition and Liquidity

Overview
Solventum is a leading global healthcare company developing, manufacturing, and commercializing a broad portfolio of solutions that leverages deep material science, data science, and digital capabilities to address critical customer and patient needs. We constantly seek to enable the improvement of standards of care and move healthcare forward with innovation powered by insights, clinical intelligence, technology, and manufacturing expertise. Our 70+ year history of discovering and innovating advanced solutions has helped us solve our customers’ toughest challenges and become a trusted partner.
Economic Environment - Tariffs
In 2025, the United States government announced new tariffs on imported goods from certain countries, and in response, foreign governments have threatened or imposed tariffs or other actions. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision concluding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (the "IEEPA") does not provide authority for the President to impose tariffs. During 2025, certain tariffs that affected us were imposed under this statute pursuant to presidential executive order. After the ruling, the U.S. President signed an Executive Order which implemented a new tariff under Section 122 authority.
On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the IEEPA were unlawful and directed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund the collected IEEPA tariffs. The administrative process for seeking refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid remains under development and ultimate financial impact of this decision cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent and timing of any potential recoveries of tariffs previously paid remain subject to further legal interpretation and administrative processes. The U.S. Administration has signaled that further tariffs under new authority will be released in 2026. The Company will continue to monitor developments and will evaluate the effect of the ruling on future reporting periods as additional information becomes available.

Due to uncertainty around process, timing, and amount of any recovery, the Company has not recorded any potential benefit from a refund as of March 31, 2026.

Operating Segments and Sales Change Information
Solventum manages its operations in three reportable business segments: MedSurg, Dental Solutions, and Health Information Systems. On February 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement to sell its Purification and Filtration business to Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. ("Buyer"). On June 25, 2025, the Company and Buyer entered into an Amended and Restated Transaction Agreement to exclude the Company’s drinking water filtration business (the "Water Business") from the scope of the Purification and Filtration business to be acquired by Buyer (such acquired business, the "Business"). On

Table of Contents
September 1, 2025, Solventum completed the sale of the Business to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The cash consideration paid to Solventum at closing was approximately $4 billion.
References are made to organic sales change, which is defined as the change in net sales, absent the separate impacts on sales from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures. Constant currency, as reflected in the tables below, is defined as the change in net sales absent the impact on sales from foreign currency translation. Other, as comprised in the tables below, includes acquisition and divestiture-related activities. Total Company divestiture impacts include lost sales from the Company’s Purification and Filtration business that was sold in September 2025. Solventum believes this information is useful to investors and management in understanding ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
Sales and operating income by business segment:
The following tables contain sales and operating results by business segment for all periods presented. The Company’s use of the term “NM” reflects results considered not material due to either not having material activity in comparable prior years or is not meaningful. Refer to the section entitled “—Performance by Business Segment” below for discussion of sales change and operating performance. Refer to Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on business segments.

Net Sales by Geographic Area
While the Company manages its businesses globally and believes its business segment results are the most relevant measure of performance, the Company also utilizes geographic area data as a secondary performance measure. Sales are generally reported within the geographic area based on the location of the customer taking possession of the products or in which services are rendered.
Percent change information compares the three months ended March 31, 2026 with the same period for the prior year, unless otherwise indicated.

Additional information beyond what is included in the preceding table is as follows:
First quarter 2026 results:
•In the United States geographic area, both total sales and organic sales increased. Organic growth occurred across all segments, led by MedSurg and Health Information Systems. Other is comprised of lost sales due to the divestiture of the Purification and Filtration business in September 2025, partially offset by sales from the December 2025 Acera acquisition.
•In the International geographic area, both total sales and organic sales decreased. Organic growth in Dental Solutions was more than offset by decreases in both MedSurg and Health Information Systems. Other is comprised of lost sales due to the divestiture of the Purification and Filtration business in September 2025.
Managing currency risks
Refer to Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on the Company's hedging program.
Foreign currency had a positive worldwide impact on sales for the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period last year. Solventum estimates that year-on-year foreign currency transaction effects, including hedging impacts, decreased pre-tax income by approximately $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively.

result, the Company is impacted by changes in the global regulatory and economic environment, including tariffs. The evolving regulatory and economic environment may impact our cost or ability to source products. To the extent possible the Company takes actions to offset these costs or identify alternative sources of supply.
Cost of product, measured as a percent of sales of product, increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by increased costs due to the impact of higher sourcing costs, including tariffs which did not impact the first quarter of 2025. Higher costs were partially offset by the benefit from portfolio actions, including the sale of the Purification and Filtration business, and other cost savings initiatives.
Cost of Software and Rentals
Cost of software and rentals includes compensation-related costs associated with installation, training and maintenance for our software products, and depreciation, maintenance and refurbishment cost and logistics costs related to our hardware rental units.
Cost of software and rentals, measured as a percent of sales of software and rentals, decreased during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period last year due to the impact, driven by benefits from both price and product mix.

SG&A, measured as a percent of total net sales, increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by higher costs associated with activities to separate operations from 3M and the cost of actions, net of savings from our Transform for the Future restructuring program.
Research and Development
R&D, measured as a percent of total net sales, was relatively flat in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by additional amortization expense from the acquisition of Acera.

Interest expense, net includes interest accrued on debt obligations, offset by interest income from cash and marketable securities. Interest expense, net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period last year due to lower interest expense as a result of lower debt outstanding.

Other expense (income), net includes the non-service component of periodic pension cost, investment gains and losses, and foreign currency transaction gain (loss). Other expense (income), net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower periodic pension costs and higher gains on investments.

Performance by Business Segment
Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements provides an overview of Solventum’s reportable business segments. Upon closing the sale of our Purification and Filtration business, we primarily manage our operations in three business segments: MedSurg, Dental Solutions, and Health Information Systems. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates segment operating performance using net sales and business segment operating income.
All Other
All Other primarily consists of the Water Business that was retained after the sale of the Purification and Filtration Business. All Other also includes sales and cost of sales related to our agreements to supply 3M and other supply agreements assumed by the Company at Spin-Off related to legacy 3M businesses, which were historically included within Corporate and Unallocated.
Corporate and Unallocated
Certain items are maintained at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments ("Corporate and Unallocated"). Corporate and Unallocated primarily includes amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and related charges, timing related benefits or costs associated with capitalized manufacturing variances, charges and recoveries related to certain litigation, transaction-related costs for acquisitions and divestitures and gains on sale of businesses. In addition, Corporate and Unallocated includes Spin-Off and separation related costs. Spin-Off and separation related costs include any costs incurred as part of our separation from 3M and costs to setup operations as a standalone company, including system implementations, manufacturing relocations, certain equity awards granted as part of the Spin-Off, profit mark-ups on transition service arrangements with 3M and other one-time costs. Corporate and Unallocated also includes income and costs related to transition service agreements entered into in connection with the sale of the Purification and Filtration business.
Because Corporate and Unallocated includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis.

•Organic growth was primarily driven by volume growth in I.V. site management products, including Tegaderm CHG, within our Infection Prevention and Surgical Solutions business. Advanced Wound Care business growth was driven by negative pressure wound therapy and advanced skin care. Growth was partially offset by our SKU rationalization program, which had a larger impact on our Infection Prevention and Surgical Solutions business.
•Foreign currency translation positively impacted sales by 3.0%.
Business segment operating income margin decreased when compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of higher product costs due to tariffs and other inflation, including freight. These additional costs were partly offset by savings programs, including Transform for the Future benefits.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Solventum's principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and access to both our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, which the Company believes will satisfy our foreseeable operating needs, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements. Discretionary cash may be allocated to strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, or repayment of debt obligations. The Company's cash position reflects business results and a global cash management strategy that leverages liquidity management along with analyzing economic factors and tax considerations.
Debt and Credit Facilities
Refer to Note 9 of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on the Company's long-term debt and short-term borrowings.
The Company had approximately $90 million and $82 million in bank guarantees, surety bonds, and other similar instruments issued and outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These instruments are utilized in connection with normal business activities.
Commercial Paper
On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into a commercial paper program that allows it to issue up to $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of short-term notes to finance short-term liabilities. Any such issuance will mature within 364 days from date of issue. There was no commercial paper outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
As of March 31, 2026, Solventum had $561 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $488 million was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and approximately $73 million was held in the United States. These balances are invested in bank instruments and other high-quality fixed income securities. As of December 31, 2025, Solventum had $878 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $800 million was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and $78 million was held in the United States. There were immaterial amounts of marketable securities at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are provided in the table that follows. Individual amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows exclude the effect of exchange rate impacts on cash and cash equivalents, which are presented separately in the cash flows. Thus, the amounts presented in the following operating, investing and financing activities table reflect changes in balances from period to period adjusted for these effects.

Operating Activities
In the first three months of 2026, cash flows used in operating activities increased compared to the first three months of 2025 primarily due higher payments for annual incentive compensation and payments made in connection with the exit of certain transition agreements with 3M.
Investing Activities
In the first three months of 2026, cash flows used in investing activities decreased compared to the first three months of 2025 primarily due to capital spending related to the Purification and Filtration business that was included in the prior year comparable period.
Financing Activities
In the first three months of 2026, cash flows used in financing activities decreased as compared to the first three months of 2025, due to a net benefit from debt issuance and repayment activity, partially offset by cash outflows related to the Company's share repurchase program.
30
Table of Contents
In November 2025, Solventum's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, which authorizes the Company to purchase up to $1 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock. Under this program, the Company repurchased 922,636 shares of its common stock for total consideration of $67 million through open market repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There were no repurchases made under this program in 2025.
Material Cash Requirements from Known Contractual and Other Obligations:
Solventum’s material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to the following, for which information on both a short-term and long-term basis is provided in the indicated notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements:
•Tax obligations—Refer to Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
•Debt—Refer to Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
•Commitments and contingencies—Refer to Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Solventum purchases the majority of its materials and services as needed, with no unconditional commitments. In limited circumstances, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors that may take the form of, for example, take or pay contracts in which the Company guarantees payment to ensure availability of certain materials or services or to ensure ongoing efforts on capital projects. Additionally, the Company enters into contractual obligations for cloud storage solutions, enterprise resource planning and other IT-related services. The Company expects to receive underlying materials or services for these purchase obligations. To the extent these purchase obligations fluctuate, it largely trends with normal-course changes in regular operating activities. Additionally, contractual capital commitments represent a small part of the Company’s expected capital spending.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events and trends, and actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those reflected in any such forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors.

Important information as to these factors can be found in this document, including, among others, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings of “Overview,” “Financial Condition and Liquidity” and annually in “Critical Accounting Estimates.” Discussion of these factors is incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this document, and should be considered an integral part of Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” For additional information concerning factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in the forward-looking statements, see our reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC from time to time and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Solventum assumes no obligation to update or revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks:
Solventum faces transactional exchange rate risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the United States and from intercompany transactions between affiliated entities. Foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates may cause fluctuations in cash flows related to foreign denominated transactions. The Company is also exposed to the translation of foreign currency earnings to the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rates Risk:
Solventum manages interest rate risk and expense using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt. In addition, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges. The Company's interest rate sensitivity analysis includes the impact of interest rate changes on its floating-rate notes, interest rate swap agreements, and cash balances.
Commodity Prices Risk:
Solventum manages commodity price risks through negotiated supply contracts and price protection agreements. The Company does not participate in material commodity hedging activity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Processes
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we completed the second phase of the implementation of our new SAP enterprise resource planning system, which primarily consisted of deployments within certain operations in Europe and China. This implementation included changes to certain financial processes and related internal controls. We are continuing to evaluate and monitor the impact of these changes on our processes, procedures and internal control over financial reporting. There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
