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”).
