Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

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.

Effective April 1, 2024, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, as the Spin-Off was completed on such date. 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.

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”).

Commitments and Contingencies

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.
