Discussion of Second Quarter Results
All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted
- Organic sales growth of +9.5% in the quarter reflects strong performance across all reportable segments, primarily driven by volume and product mix and including the expected benefit of advance orders placed ahead of ERP cutovers.
- GAAP and adjusted gross margin both increased, driven by IEEPA tariff refund.
- GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher costs associated with separation activities and net legal costs. Adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales was 26.0%, a decrease of 130 bps vs. prior year.
- GAAP operating income margin decreased, primarily driven by net legal costs, separation and restructuring costs. Adjusted operating income margin increased primarily due to a combination of IEEPA tariff refund and ERP-timing benefit.
- Operating cash flow for the quarter was $227 million and free cash flow was $144 million, ahead of expectations driven by timing of tax payments and insurance proceeds.
Other Business and Operational Highlights
- Announced the intent to separate its Health Information Systems business segment as part of the portfolio optimization phase of its transformation strategy. The proposed separation is expected to strengthen Solventum’s focus as a dedicated MedTech company while enabling both businesses to pursue distinct growth and innovation priorities.
- The Solventum Foundation announced a $350,000 grant to America’s ToothFairy to expand access to oral health screenings, dental education and fluoride treatment for more than 100,000 children and caregivers in underserved communities over the next year.
- For the second year in a row, named a Best Company to Work For by U.S. News & World Report in the categories of ‘Health Care and Research’ and ‘Midwest.’

Full-Year 2026 Guidance
Solventum is updating its full year 2026 guidance as follows:
- Increased organic sales growth range to +2.5% to +3.0% (+3.5% to +4.0% excluding ~100 bps of SKU exit impact); from prior range of +2.0% to +3.0%
- Increased adjusted EPS range to $7.10 to $7.20; from the upper end of prior range of $6.40 to $6.60
- Increased free cash flow to be in the range of $200 million to $300 million; from prior estimate of ~$200M
Organic sales, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow amounts included in Solventum’s full-year guidance are non-GAAP financial measures. Solventum does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the respective GAAP metrics as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort certain items, such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, impacts associated with business acquisitions or divestitures, and the timing and magnitude of restructuring activities, among other items.
See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for explanations of our non-GAAP financial measures.

Solventum intends the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in those sections. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, but instead represent only Solventum’s beliefs regarding future goals, plans and expectations about its prospects for the future and other events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Solventum’s control.

Forward-looking statements notice
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements are the following: (1) whether Solventum will be able to identify or develop any strategic alternatives for Solventum’s health information systems business; (2) Solventum’s ability to execute on material aspects of any strategic alternatives that are identified and pursued; (3) whether Solventum can actually achieve the potential benefits of any strategic alternatives; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the abandonment of the review of strategic alternatives or pursuit of a different structure or strategic alternative; (5) uncertainties as to the timing of the review of strategic alternatives; (6) the effects of, and changes in, worldwide economic, political, regulatory, international, trade and geopolitical conditions, natural disasters, war, public health crises and other events beyond Solventum’s control; (7) operational execution risks; (8) damage to Solventum’s reputation or its brands; (9) risks from acquisitions, strategic alliances, divestitures and other strategic events; (10) Solventum’s business dealings involving third-party partners in various markets; (11) Solventum’s ability to access the capital and credit markets and changes in Solventum’s credit ratings; (12) exposure to interest rate and currency risks; (13) the highly competitive environment in which Solventum operates and consolidation in the healthcare industry; (14) reduction in customers’ research budgets or government funding; (15) the timing and market acceptance of Solventum’s new product and service offerings; (16) ongoing working relationships with certain key healthcare professionals; (17) changes in reimbursement practices of governments or private payers or other cost containment measures; (18) Solventum’s ability to obtain components or raw materials supplied by third parties and other manufacturing and related supply chain difficulties, interruptions and disruptive factors; (19) legal and regulatory proceedings and legal compliance risks (including third-party risks) with regards to antitrust, FCPA and other anti-bribery laws, environmental laws, anti-kickback and false claims laws, privacy laws, product liability claims, tax laws, and other laws and regulations in the United States and other countries in which Solventum operates; (20) potential liabilities related to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, collectively known as “PFAS”; (21) risks related to the highly regulated environment in which Solventum operates; (22) risks associated with product liability claims; (23) climate change and measures to address climate change; (24) security breaches and other disruptions to information technology infrastructure; (25) artificial intelligence risks; (26) Solventum’s failure to obtain, maintain, protect or effectively enforce its intellectual property rights; (27) pension and postretirement obligation liabilities; (28) Solventum's separation from 3M and performance as a standalone company, including the tax-free nature of the spin and its ability to execute on its short- and long-range plans and capital allocation strategies; and (29) restructuring programs, and other risks and uncertainties described in Solventum’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The above list is not exhaustive or necessarily set forth in the order of importance. 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. A further description of these factors is located under “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Solventum’s periodic reports on file with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. Solventum assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements discussed herein as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Solventum also provides non-GAAP measures that we use, and plan to continue using, when monitoring and evaluating operating performance and measuring cash available to invest in our business. The adjusted measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of our performance and our liquidity that we believe help investors understand our underlying business performance and Solventum uses these measures as an indication of the strength of Solventum and its ability to generate cash.
Solventum calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including organic sales growth, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. Solventum does not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort certain items such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, impacts associated with business acquisitions or divestitures, and the timing and magnitude of restructuring activities, among other items. The timing and amounts of these items are uncertain and could have a material impact on Solventum’s results in accordance with GAAP.
The Q2 2026 financial statements and financial information, including reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, are available on Solventum’s website: investors.solventum.com.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include (1) adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin, (2) adjusted diluted earnings per share, and (3) free cash flow. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating current performance and focusing management on our underlying operational results.
There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this information statement. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Management cautions you not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplements to, not substitutes for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The tables below reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest financial measure that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the periods presented.
Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Non-GAAP measures)
Adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin are not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, they should not be considered a substitute for earnings data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Solventum defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding the effects of restructuring costs, Spin-Off and separation-related costs, separation-related impacts due to the sale of the Purification and Filtration business, and acquisition-related costs. Solventum defines adjusted operating income as operating income excluding the effects of amortization, restructuring costs, Spin-Off and separation-related costs, certain litigation-related costs, separation-related impacts due to the sale of the Purification and Filtration business, acquisition-related costs and costs related to the planned separation of the Health Information Systems business. Adjusted operating income margin is adjusted operating income divided by the U.S GAAP measure total net sales for the same period. The Company believes adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin provide investors with visibility into the Company’s unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and reflects underlying financial performance. However, adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating income should not be construed as inferring that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for earnings data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Solventum defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as net income excluding the after-tax effects of amortization, restructuring costs, Spin-Off and separation-related costs, certain litigation-related costs, separation-related impacts due to the sale of the Purification and Filtration business, acquisition-related costs and costs related to the planned separation of the Health Information Systems business. The Company believes adjusted earnings per share provides investors with improved comparability of underlying operating results and a further understanding and additional transparency regarding how the Company evaluates the business. However, adjusted earnings per share should not be construed as inferring that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.

Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure):
Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is meaningful to investors as it is a useful measure of liquidity and the Company uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. Free cash flow varies across quarters throughout the year. Below find a recap of free cash flow.
