Total restructuring, associated, and other costs for the three months ended July 31, 2026 were $89 million, as compared to $67 million for the three months ended July 25, 2025.
MiniMed Restructuring Actions
In December 2025, the Board of Directors approved a series of restructuring actions designed to support the separation and position of both Medtronic and MiniMed by enabling greater strategic focus, improving operational efficiency, aligning organizational structures of each, and driving long-term business growth and efficiencies in the individual organizations.
The restructuring actions are expected to result in pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $300 million to $500 million, to be incurred at varying intervals between the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 and the finalization of the Transition Services Agreement (which governs services to be provided to MiniMed by Medtronic, and which will conclude no later than 24 months following the March 9, 2026 MiniMed IPO). The expected completion date of these restructuring actions is fiscal year 2029. The restructuring activities include organizational realignments, workforce-related actions, and separation of duplicated shared services, locations, systems, and operational functions. Of the total actions, the Company anticipates that materially all of the charges will relate to employee termination benefits, with the potential for other charges to include contract termination costs and asset write-offs. The Company expects these costs to be recognized primarily within restructuring charges, net, cost of products sold, and selling, general, and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The costs of this program were not recorded in a specific reportable segment. Since inception, the Company has incurred pre-tax exit and disposal and other costs of $201 million in connection with the MiniMed Restructuring Actions.
