Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Medtronic plc and its subsidiaries (Medtronic plc, Medtronic, or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all the adjustments necessary for a fair statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medtronic plc, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts reported in millions within this quarterly report are computed based on the amounts in thousands, and therefore, the sum of the components may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. Additionally, certain columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023. The Company’s fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 will end or ended on April 26, 2024, April 28, 2023, and April 29, 2022, respectively.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

Supplier Finance Programs

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities— Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50), which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The Company adopted this guidance on April 29, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which requires incremental disclosures on reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures on significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 for our annual report and for interim periods starting in fiscal year 2026. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires incremental annual disclosures on income taxes, including rate reconciliations, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 for our annual report. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

3. Revenue

The Company's revenues are principally derived from device-based medical therapies and services related to cardiac rhythm disorders, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and diseases, spinal conditions and musculoskeletal trauma, chronic pain, urological and digestive disorders, ear, nose, and throat conditions, and diabetes conditions as well as advanced and general surgical care products, respiratory and monitoring solutions, and neurological surgery technologies. The Company's primary customers include healthcare systems, clinics, third-party healthcare providers, distributors, and other institutions, including governmental healthcare programs and group purchasing organizations. Prior period revenue has been recast to reflect the new reporting structure, which primarily includes allocating certain prior Medical Surgical businesses to the Other line. Refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Company's reporting structure.

The amount of revenue recognized is reduced by sales rebates and returns. Adjustments to rebates and returns reserves are recorded as increases or decreases to revenue. At January 26, 2024, $1.1 billion of rebates were classified as other accrued expenses, and $575 million of rebates were classified as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. At April 28, 2023, $1.1 billion of rebates were classified as other accrued expenses, and $555 million of rebates were classified as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations

Deferred revenue at January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023 was $447 million and $405 million, respectively. At January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, $350 million and $314 million was included in other accrued expenses, respectively, and $97 million and $91 million was included in other liabilities, respectively. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024, the Company recognized $274 million of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of April 28, 2023.

Remaining performance obligations include goods and services that have not yet been delivered or provided under existing, noncancellable contracts with minimum purchase commitments. At January 26, 2024, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to unsatisfied performance obligations for executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more was approximately $0.5 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the majority of these remaining performance obligations over the next three years.

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, the Company had acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations. The assets and liabilities of the businesses acquired were recorded and consolidated on the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Goodwill resulting from business combinations is largely attributable to future, yet to be defined technologies, new customer relationships, existing workforce of the acquired businesses, and synergies expected to arise after the Company's acquisition of these businesses. The pro forma impact of these acquisitions was not significant, either individually or in the aggregate, to the consolidated results of the Company for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023. The results of operations of acquired businesses have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of income since the date each business was acquired. For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, purchase price allocation adjustments were not significant.

Fiscal Year 2024

The acquisition date fair value of net assets acquired during the nine months ended January 26, 2024 was $107 million. Based on preliminary valuations, assets acquired were primarily comprised of $51 million of goodwill and $29 million of technology-based intangible assets with estimated useful lives of 10 years. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The Company recognized $25 million of non-cash contingent consideration liabilities in connection with these business combinations during the nine months ended January 26, 2024, which are comprised of revenue and product development milestone-based payments.

Fiscal Year 2023

Intersect ENT

On May 13, 2022, the Company acquired Intersect ENT, a global ear, nose, and throat (ENT) medical technology leader. The acquisition expands the Neuroscience segment portfolio of products used during ENT procedures, and combined with the Company's navigation, powered instruments, and existing tissue health products, offers a broader suite of solutions to assist surgeons treating patients who suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Total consideration, net of cash acquired, for the transaction, in which the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Intersect ENT for $28.25 per share, was $1.2 billion consisting of $1.1 billion of cash and $98 million previously held investments in Intersect ENT. The Company acquired $615 million of goodwill, $635 million of technology-based intangible assets, $35 million of customer-related intangible assets, and $13 million of tradenames with estimated useful lives of 20 years. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Revenue and net loss attributable to Intersect ENT since the date of acquisition as well as costs incurred in connection with the acquisition included in the consolidated statements of income were not significant for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023.

Total consideration, net of cash acquired for the transaction, was $904 million. The Company acquired $660 million of goodwill and $300 million of in-process research and development, which was capitalized into intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company recognized $201 million of contingent consideration liabilities in connection with the acquisition, which are comprised of product development milestone-based payments.

Revenue and net loss attributable to Affera since the date of acquisition as well as costs incurred in connection with the acquisition included in the consolidated statements of income were not significant for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023.

The acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:


(in millions)	Intersect ENT		Affera
Cash and cash equivalents	$	39	$	66

Acquired In-Process Research & Development (IPR&D)

IPR&D with no alternative future use acquired outside of a business combination is expensed immediately. The Company did not acquire any IPR&D in connection with asset acquisitions of technology not yet approved during the three months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, IPR&D acquired in connection with asset acquisitions of technology not yet approved was not significant.

Contingent Consideration

Certain of the Company’s business combinations involve potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain product development milestones and/or contingent on the acquired business reaching certain performance milestones. A liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within other operating expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities at January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023 was $172 million and $206 million, respectively. At January 26, 2024, $118 million was recorded in other accrued expenses, and $55 million was recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. At April 28, 2023, $34 million was recorded in other accrued expenses, and $171 million was recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.

Activity related to the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities portfolio is as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended

Equity Securities, Equity Method Investments, and Other Investments

The Company holds investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values, equity method investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option, equity investments without readily determinable fair values, investments accounted for under the equity method, and other investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are measured using quoted market prices. Equity method investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. To determine the fair value of these investments, the Company uses a discounted cash flow methodology, taking into consideration various assumptions including discount rate, and all pertinent financial information available related to the investees, including historical financial statements and projected future cash flows. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, and that are not accounted for via the fair value option, are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are measured using the measurement alternative at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

The following table summarizes the Company's equity and other investments at January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, which are classified as primarily other assets in the consolidated balance sheets:


(in millions)	January 26, 2024		April 28, 2023
Investments with readily determinable fair value (marketable equity securities)	$	46	$	115
Investments for which the fair value option has been elected	493		531
Investments without readily determinable fair values	919		872
Equity method and other investments	131		89
Total equity and other investments	$	1,589	$	1,607

Gains and losses on the Company's portfolio of equity and other investments are recognized in other non-operating income, net in the consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, there were $25 million and $95 million of net unrealized losses, respectively, on equity securities and other investments still held at January 26, 2024. During the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, there were $10 million and $15 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, on equity securities and other investments still held at January 27, 2023.

Mozarc Medical Investment

On April 1, 2023, the Company sold half of its RCS business to Mozarc, and as a result of the transaction the Company retained a 50% equity interest in Mozarc. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on this transaction. Although the equity investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over Mozarc, the Company has elected the fair value option to account for this equity investment. The Company believes the fair value option best reflects the economics of the underlying transaction.

Under the fair value option, changes in the fair value of the investment are recognized through earnings each reporting period in other non-operating income, net in the consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $39 million.

7. Financing Arrangements

Commercial Paper

The Company maintains commercial paper programs that allow the Company to issue U.S. dollar or Euro-denominated unsecured commercial paper notes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

In September 2022, Medtronic Global Holdings S.C.A. (Medtronic Luxco) issued four tranches of Euro-denominated Senior Notes with an aggregate principal of €3.5 billion, with maturities ranging from fiscal year 2026 to 2035, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $3.4 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs. The Company used the net proceeds to repay at maturity €750 million of Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes for $772 million of total consideration in December 2022 and €2.8 billion of Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes for $2.9 billion of total consideration in March 2023.

In March 2023, Medtronic Luxco issued two tranches of USD-denominated Senior Notes with an aggregate principal of $2.0 billion, with maturities ranging from fiscal year 2028 to 2033, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs. The Company used the net proceeds supplemented by additional cash to repay the ¥297 billion Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement discussed below for $2.3 billion of total consideration.

The Euro-denominated debt issued in September 2022 is designated as a net investment hedge of certain of the Company's European operations. Refer to Note 8 for additional information regarding the net investment hedge.

Term Loan Agreements

In May 2022, Medtronic Luxco entered into a term loan agreement (Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement) by and among Medtronic Luxco, Medtronic plc, Medtronic, Inc., and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as administrative agent and as lender. The Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement provides an unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to ¥300 billion with a term of 364 days. Borrowings under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement bear interest at the TIBOR Rate (as defined in the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 0.40% per annum. Medtronic plc and Medtronic, Inc. have guaranteed the obligations of Medtronic Luxco under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement. In May and June 2022, Medtronic Luxco borrowed an aggregate of ¥297 billion, or approximately $2.3 billion, of the term loan, under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds of the borrowings to fund the early redemption of $1.9 billion of Medtronic Inc.'s 3.500% Senior Notes due 2025 for $1.9 billion of total consideration, and $368 million of Medtronic Luxco's 3.350% Senior Notes due 2027 for $376 million of total consideration. The Company recognized a total loss on debt extinguishment of $53 million in the three months ended July 29, 2022, which primarily includes cash premiums and accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiums. The loss was recognized in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of income during the nine months ended January 27, 2023. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company repaid the term loan in full, including interest.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

At January 26, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was $21.8 billion compared to a principal value of $24.3 billion. At April 28, 2023, the estimated fair value was $21.7 billion compared to a principal value of $24.5 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 and hedging activity.

8. Derivatives and Currency Exchange Risk Management

The Company uses derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated debt to manage the impact that currency exchange rate and interest rate changes have on reported financial statements. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to the variability of future cash flows that are denominated in a foreign currency.

At inception, foreign currency forward and option contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged transaction affects earnings. When the hedged transaction affects earnings, the gain or loss on the derivative is reclassified to earnings. Amounts excluded from the measurement of hedge effectiveness are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the term of the hedge. Cash flows are reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company's cash flow hedges will mature within the subsequent three-year period. At January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, the Company had $167 million and $93 million in after-tax unrealized gains, respectively, associated with cash flow hedging instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company expects that $140 million of after-tax net unrealized gains at January 26, 2024 will be recognized in the consolidated statements of income over the next 12 months.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated debt to manage foreign currency risk associated with its net investment in foreign operations. The derivative instruments that the Company uses for this purpose may include foreign currency forward exchange contracts used on a standalone basis or in combination with option collars and standalone cross currency interest rate contracts.

For instruments that are designated as net investment hedges, the gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The gains or losses are reclassified into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of the foreign subsidiary. Amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in interest expense, net on a straight-line basis over the term of the hedge. During the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the Company recognized $49 million and $148 million, respectively, in gains representing excluded components in interest expense, net. During the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, the Company recognized $26 million and $74 million in unrealized gains representing excluded components in interest expense, net. The cash flows related to the Company's derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows attributable to amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Undesignated Derivatives

The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to offset the Company’s exposure to the change in the value of non-functional currency denominated assets, liabilities, and cash flows.

These foreign currency forward exchange rate contracts are not designated as hedges at inception, and therefore, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Cash flows related to the Company’s undesignated derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the derivative instrument.

Outstanding Instruments

The following table presents the contractual amounts of the Company's outstanding instruments:

As further described in Note 17, the Company has certain new operating segments as of the beginning of fiscal year 2024. Each new operating segment is considered a standalone reporting unit as of the beginning of fiscal year 2024. As a result of the realignment of the operating segment structure, the Company allocated all goodwill that was previously assigned to the Medical Surgical reporting unit to the new reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. Reporting units were tested for impairment before and after the alignment. No goodwill impairment was identified in either test as of the beginning of the fiscal year 2024; however, the Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by less than 10 percent. As of July 28, 2023, $3.0 billion of goodwill was allocated to the Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions reporting unit.

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of the third quarter of the fiscal year and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company calculates the excess of each reporting unit's fair value over its carrying amount, including goodwill, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and revenue and earnings multiples using comparable public company information. Significant assumptions used in reporting unit fair value measurements include forecasted cash flows, including revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates, and revenue and earnings multiples. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. No goodwill impairment was recognized during the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 and the three months ended January 27, 2023. As of January 26, 2024, the Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by greater than 10 percent.

As a result of the agreement with DaVita, as disclosed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company allocated $208 million of goodwill to the RCS business that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and was subsequently sold on April 1, 2023. Upon allocation, a goodwill impairment test was performed for the RCS business, and the Company recognized $61 million of goodwill impairment during the nine months ended January 27, 2023. The goodwill impairment charges were recognized in other operating expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of income.

The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of intangible assets:


	January 26, 2024				April 28, 2023
(in millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Company did not recognize any indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments during the three months ended January 26, 2024. Indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments were not significant for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023. Due to the nature of IPR&D projects, the Company may experience future delays or failures to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, failures of clinical trials, delays or failures to obtain required market clearances, other failures to achieve a commercially viable product, or the discontinuation of certain projects, and as a result, may recognize impairment losses in the future.

Amortization Expense

Intangible asset amortization expense for the three months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023 was $419 million and $431 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023 was $1.3 billion. Estimated aggregate amortization expense by fiscal year based on the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets at January 26, 2024, excluding any possible future amortization associated with acquired IPR&D which has not yet met technological feasibility, is as follows:


(in millions)	Amortization Expense

11. Income Taxes

The Israeli Central-Lod District Court issued its decision in Medtronic Ventor Technologies Ltd (Ventor) v. Kfar Saba Assessing Office on June 1, 2023. The court determined that there was a deemed taxable transfer of intellectual property. As a result, the Company recorded a $187 million income tax charge during the nine months ended January 26, 2024. During the three months ended January 26, 2024, the Company filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Israel.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 was 9.2% and 23.5%, respectively, as compared to 10.6% and 31.9% for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended January 26, 2024 primarily relates to a Swiss Cantonal tax rate change on previously recorded deferred tax assets, which was partially offset by an increase in Puerto Rico withholding tax rates and finalization of certain tax returns and statute of limitation lapses for the quarter ended January 27, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 was attributable to the previously highlighted items and the $764 million income tax charge recorded during the nine months ended January 27, 2023 related to the U.S. Tax Court decision partially offset by the Ventor court decision noted above and the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain net operating losses.

At January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits were $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. In addition, the Company had accrued gross interest and penalties that were not significant at January 26, 2024. If all of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, approximately $2.6 billion would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. At both January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, the amount of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits, net of cash advance, recorded as a noncurrent liability within accrued income taxes on the consolidated balance sheets was $1.8 billion. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters within income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income and records the liability within either current or noncurrent accrued income taxes on the consolidated balance sheets.

Refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the status of current tax audits and proceedings.

12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive ordinary shares been issued, and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased with the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive ordinary shares include stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan.

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.99	$	0.92	$	2.27	$	1.94

The calculation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding excludes options to purchase approximately 29 million and 28 million ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, respectively, and 28 million and 23 million ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive on the Company’s earnings per share.

The income tax on gains and losses on investment securities in other comprehensive income before reclassifications during the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, was an expense of $9 million and a benefit of $22 million, respectively. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, realized gains and losses on investment securities reclassified from AOCI were reduced by income taxes of $4 million and $6 million, respectively. When realized, gains and losses on investment securities reclassified from AOCI are recognized within other non-operating income, net. Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

For the nine months ended January 26, 2024, there was no income tax on cumulative translation adjustment. For the nine months ended January 27, 2023, the income tax on cumulative translation adjustment was a benefit of $4 million.

During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, there were no tax impacts on net investment hedges. Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The net change in retirement obligations in other comprehensive income includes amortization of net actuarial losses included in net periodic benefit cost. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024, there were no tax impacts on retirement obligations. During the nine months ended January 27, 2023, the net change in retirement obligations in other comprehensive income before reclassifications resulted in income tax benefit of $1 million. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, the gains and losses on defined benefit and pension items reclassified from AOCI were reduced by income taxes of $2 million and $8 million, respectively. When realized, net gains and losses on defined benefit and pension items reclassified from AOCI are recognized within other non-operating income, net. Refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The income tax on unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income before reclassifications during the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, was an expense of $75 million and $20 million, respectively. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, gains and losses on cash flow hedges reclassified from AOCI were reduced by income taxes of $48 million and $98 million, respectively. When realized, gains and losses on currency exchange rate contracts reclassified from AOCI are recognized within other operating expense (income), net or cost of products sold. Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company and its affiliates are involved in a number of legal actions from time to time involving product liability, employment, intellectual property and commercial disputes, shareholder related matters, environmental proceedings, tax disputes, and governmental

Medtronic plc

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

proceedings and investigations, including those described below. With respect to governmental proceedings and investigations, like other companies in our industry, the Company is subject to extensive regulation by national, state, and local governmental agencies in the United States and in other jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate. As a result, interaction with governmental agencies is ongoing. The Company’s standard practice is to cooperate with regulators and investigators in responding to inquiries. The outcomes of legal actions are not within the Company’s complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the enforcement agencies or private claimants seek damages, as well as other civil or criminal remedies (including injunctions barring the sale of products that are the subject of the proceeding), that could require significant expenditures, result in lost revenues, or limit the Company's ability to conduct business in the applicable jurisdictions.

The Company records a liability in the consolidated financial statements on an undiscounted basis for loss contingencies related to legal actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount may be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages with incomplete scientific facts or legal discovery, involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages, potentially involve penalties, fines or punitive damages, or could result in a change in business practice. The Company classifies certain specified litigation charges and gains related to significant legal matters as certain litigation charges in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recognized no certain litigation charges during the three months ended January 26, 2024 and the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023. The Company recognized $105 million of certain litigation charges during the nine months ended January 26, 2024. At January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, accrued litigation was approximately $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively. The ultimate cost to the Company with respect to accrued litigation could be materially different than the amount of the current estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows. The Company includes accrued litigation in other accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. While it is not possible to predict the outcome for most of the legal matters discussed below, the Company believes it is possible that the costs associated with these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows.

Intellectual Property Matters

At any given time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other intellectual property (IP) rights, and licenses, acquisitions or other agreements relating to such rights. This litigation includes, but is not limited to, alleged infringement or misappropriation of IP rights, or breach of obligations related to IP rights, or other claims asserted by competitors, individuals, or, consistent with a growing trend across technology-intensive industries, other entities created specifically to fund IP litigation. While the outcome of these litigation matters is inherently uncertain, it is possible that the results of such litigation could require the Company to pay significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments, and negatively impact the Company's ability to sell current or future products, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Colibri

The Company is a defendant in patent litigation brought by Colibri Heart Valve LLC (Colibri) in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Colibri alleges infringement of one patent by the Company’s Evolut family of transcatheter aortic valve replacement devices. The patent asserted by Colibri has expired. On February 8, 2023, a jury returned a verdict against the Company for approximately $106 million. In July 2023, the Company filed its appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company has not recognized an expense in connection with this matter because it does not currently believe a loss is probable.

Product Liability Matters

Hernia Mesh Litigation

Starting in fiscal year 2020, plaintiffs began filing lawsuits against certain subsidiaries of the Company in U.S. state and federal courts that allege personal injury from hernia mesh products sold by those subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits filed on behalf of approximately 7,950 individual plaintiffs, and certain plaintiffs’ law firms have advised the Company that they may file additional cases in the future. Approximately 6,500 plaintiffs have pending lawsuits in a coordinated proceeding in Massachusetts state court, where they have been consolidated before a single judge. Approximately 500 plaintiffs have pending lawsuits in a coordinated action in Minnesota state court, and there are approximately 900 actions coordinated in a federal Multidistrict Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts plus seven one-off cases filed in other courts. The pending lawsuits relate almost entirely to hernia mesh products that have not been subject to recalls, withdrawals, or other adverse regulatory action. The Company has not recorded an expense related to damages in connection with these matters because any potential loss

Medtronic plc

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

is not currently probable and reasonably estimable. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

Diabetes Pump Retainer Ring Litigation

Starting in fiscal year 2021, plaintiffs began filing lawsuits against the Diabetes operating unit in U.S. state and federal courts alleging personal injury from Series 600 insulin pumps with allegedly defective clear retainer rings that were subject to field corrective actions in 2019 and 2021. As of February 5, 2024, 23 lawsuits have been filed on behalf of a total of 86 individual plaintiffs, and certain plaintiffs’ law firms have notified the Company that they may file additional lawsuits in the future on behalf of thousands of additional claimants. Most of the filed suits are coordinated in California state court. The Company has not recorded an expense related to damages in connection with these matters because any potential loss is not currently probable and reasonably estimable. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

Environmental Proceedings

The Company is a successor to several investigation and cleanup actions at various stages related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites, including in Orrington, Maine. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including removal of solvents, metals and other hazardous substances from soil and groundwater. The ultimate cost of site cleanup and timing of future cash flows is difficult to predict given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods.

The Company is also a successor to a party named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine in the early 2000's by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Maine People's Alliance relating to mercury contamination of the Penobscot River and Bay and options for remediating such contamination. In March 2021, the parties notified the court that they had agreed on a settlement in principle of all issues in this matter, and in September 2022 the parties filed a joint motion for final approval by the court. In October 2022, the court issued a final order approving the settlement and the parties are working with consultants on implementation of remedial activities. The final court order did not result in a change to the Company's previous accrual for this matter.

The Company's accrued expenses for these various environmental proceedings are included within accrued litigation as discussed above.

Anti-Corruption Matters

The Company has regular and ongoing interactions with governmental agencies, and its practice is to cooperate with such inquiries. In addition, from time to time, the Company self-discloses potential concerns to governmental regulators. Like many in the medical device industry or with international operations, the Company engages in periodic discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, and various authorities in China regarding certain activities, largely involving historical conduct of third-party distributors, primarily in China. The Company is committed to regularly evaluating and, as appropriate, strengthening its anti-corruption compliance programs and practices. Any possible future determination that certain of our operations and activities, and/or those of our third-party distributors, are not in compliance with existing laws could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, and equitable remedies in the United States or in other jurisdictions. The Company has not recorded an expense in connection with these matters because any potential loss is not currently probable and reasonably estimable. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

Income Taxes

In March 2009, the IRS issued its audit report on Medtronic, Inc. for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Medtronic, Inc. reached agreement with the IRS on some, but not all matters related to these fiscal years. The remaining unresolved issue for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 relates to the allocation of income between Medtronic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico, which is one of the Company's key manufacturing sites. The U.S. Tax Court (Tax Court) reviewed this dispute, and in June 2016, issued an opinion with respect to the allocation of income between the parties for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 whereby it generally rejected the IRS’s position, but also made certain modifications to the Medtronic, Inc. tax returns as filed. In April 2017, the IRS filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit regarding the Tax Court opinion. The U.S. Court of Appeals issued its opinion in August 2018 and remanded the case back to the Tax Court for additional factual findings. The Tax Court issued its second opinion in August 2022, the IRS filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in September 2023, and Medtronic subsequently filed a cross-appeal in October 2023.

The IRS has issued its audit reports on Medtronic, Inc. for fiscal years 2007 through 2016. Medtronic, Inc. and the IRS have reached agreement on all significant issues except for the allocation of income between Medtronic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico for the businesses that are the subject of the U.S. Tax Court matter for fiscal years 2005 and 2006.

Medtronic plc

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Medtronic, Inc.’s fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019 U.S. federal income tax returns are currently being audited by the IRS.

Covidien LP (a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc) has either reached agreement with the IRS or the statute of limitations has lapsed on its U.S. federal income tax returns through fiscal year 2020.

Although it is not possible to predict the outcome for most of the income tax matters discussed above, the Company believes it is possible that charges associated with these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows.

Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion of income taxes.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company and/or its affiliates periodically enter into agreements that require one or more of the Company and/or its affiliates to indemnify customers or suppliers for specific risks, such as claims for injury or property damage arising as a result of the Company or its affiliates’ products, the negligence of the Company's personnel, or claims alleging that the Company's products infringe on third-party patents or other intellectual property. The Company also offers warranties on various products. The Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees is unable to be estimated. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses on these types of guarantees.

The Company believes the ultimate resolution of the above guarantees is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows.

17. Segment and Geographic Information

Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. Net sales of the Company's reportable segments include end-customer revenues from the sale of products the segment develops, manufactures, and distributes. The Company’s management evaluates performance of the segments and allocates resources based on net sales and segment operating profit. Segment operating profit represents income before income taxes, excluding interest income or expense, amortization of intangible assets, centralized distribution costs, currency impact of remeasurement and hedging, non-operating income or expense items, certain corporate charges, stock-based compensation, and other items not allocated to the segments.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023. Certain depreciable assets may be recorded by one segment, while the depreciation expense is allocated to another segment. The allocation of depreciation expense is based on the proportion of the assets used by each segment.

As of the beginning of fiscal year 2024, the Company realigned the operating segment structure as a result of how the Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses business performance. We continue to have four reportable segments: Cardiovascular Portfolio, Neuroscience Portfolio, Medical Surgical Portfolio, and Diabetes Operating Unit. The Medical Surgical Portfolio now consists of two operating segments which have been aggregated based upon similar economic and operating characteristics. Prior period segment operating profit has been recast to reflect the new reporting structure, which primarily includes allocating certain prior Medical Surgical businesses to the Other line. Prior period amounts have also been recast to reallocate certain expenses from segment operating profit to centralized distribution costs to conform to classifications used in the current year.

18. Subsequent Events

On February 20, 2024, the Company announced the decision to exit its ventilator product line and retain and combine the remaining Patient Monitoring and Respiratory Interventions (PMRI) businesses into one business unit called Acute Care and Monitoring (ACM). For the nine months ended January 26, 2024, ventilator product line revenue was $111 million and is included in our Medical Surgical reportable segment. The Company expects to record an estimated pre-tax charge of $350 million to $425 million, the majority of which is expected to be recorded in the quarter ending April 26, 2024, primarily related to non-cash impairment of long-lived intangible assets. The Company will continue to honor existing ventilator contracts to serve the needs of its customers and their patients.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

UNDERSTANDING OUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of Medtronic plc and its subsidiaries (Medtronic plc, Medtronic, or the Company, or we, us, or our). For a full understanding of financial condition and results of operations, you should read this discussion along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023. In addition, you should read this discussion along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto at and for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024. Amounts reported in millions within this quarterly report are computed based on the amounts in thousands, and therefore, the sum of the components may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. Additionally, certain columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.

Financial Trends

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we present certain financial measures that facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning; however, such financial measures are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP). These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company's underlying operational performance and trends and may facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the medical technologies industry.

As presented in the GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations section on the following pages, our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets and certain charges or benefits that contribute to or reduce earnings and that may affect financial trends and include certain charges or benefits that result from transactions or events that we believe may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to our operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments).

In the event there is a Non-GAAP Adjustment recognized in our operating results, the tax cost or benefit attributable to that item is separately calculated and reported. Because the effective rate can be significantly impacted by the Non-GAAP Adjustments that take place during the period, we often refer to our tax rate using both the effective rate and the non-GAAP nominal tax rate (Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate). The Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate is calculated as the income tax provision, adjusted for the impact of Non-GAAP Adjustments, as a percentage of income before income taxes, excluding Non-GAAP Adjustments.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting property, plant, and equipment additions from operating cash flows.

Refer to the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations," "Income Taxes," and "Free Cash Flow" sections for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1)Associated costs include costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program, such as salaries for employees supporting the program, consulting expenses, and asset write-offs.

(2)The charges primarily include business combination costs, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and charges related to the potential separation of the Patient Monitoring and Respiratory Interventions businesses within our Medical Surgical Portfolio.

(3)We exclude unrealized and realized gains and losses on our minority investments as we do not believe that these components of income or expense have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future business operations.

(4)The charges represent incremental costs of complying with the new European Union (E.U.) medical device regulations for previously registered products and primarily include charges for contractors supporting the project and other direct third-party expenses. We consider these costs to be duplicative of previously incurred costs and/or one-time costs, which are limited to a specific time period.

(5)The net tax benefit primarily relates to a change in a Swiss Cantonal tax rate associated with previously established deferred tax assets from intercompany intellectual property transactions and the step up in tax basis for Swiss Cantonal purposes.

(1)Associated costs include costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program, such as salaries for employees supporting the program, consulting expenses, and asset write-offs.

(4)The charges represent incremental costs of complying with the new European Union medical device regulations for previously registered products and primarily include charges for contractors supporting the project and other direct third-party expenses. We consider these costs to be duplicative of previously incurred costs and/or one-time costs, which are limited to a specific period.

(5)The net charge primarily relates to an income tax reserve adjustment associated with the June 1, 2023, Israeli Central-Lod District Court decision and the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain net operating losses which were partially offset by a benefit from the change in a Swiss Cantonal tax rate associated with previously established deferred tax assets from intercompany intellectual property transactions and the step up in tax basis for Swiss Cantonal purposes.

(6)The charges relate to the early redemption of approximately $2.3 billion of debt and were recorded within interest expense, net within the consolidated statements of income.

(7)The charge primarily relates to a $764 million reserve adjustment that was a direct result of the U.S. Tax Court opinion, issued on August 18, 2022, on the previously disclosed litigation regarding the allocation of income between Medtronic, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by subtracting additions to property, plant, and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. Free cash flow should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) and free cash flow are as follows:


	Nine months ended
(in millions)	January 26, 2024		January 27, 2023

(1)U.S. includes the United States and U.S. territories.

(2)Non-U.S. developed markets include Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Canada, and the countries within Western Europe.

(4)Includes revenue from the divested Renal Care Solutions business and Transition Manufacturing Agreements from previously divested businesses.

The increase in net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, was driven primarily by growth in most businesses, including Diabetes, Cardiac Surgery, Core Spine, Structural Heart and Cardiac Pacing, as well as strength in international markets.

Looking ahead, a number of macro-economic and geopolitical factors could negatively impact our business, including without limitation:

•Competitive product launches and pricing pressure, geographic macro-economic risks including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, general price inflation, changes in interest rates, reimbursement challenges, impacts from changes in the mix of our product offerings, delays in product registration approvals, replacement cycle challenges, and supply chain challenges from time to time;

•National and provincial tender pricing for certain products, particularly in China;

•The sanctions and other measures being imposed in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict are having, and could continue to have impacts on revenue and supply chain. The financial impact of the conflict in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, including on accounts receivable and inventory reserves, was not material, and for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the business of the Company in these countries represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated revenues and assets. Although the implications of this conflict are difficult to predict at this time, the ongoing conflict may increase pressure on the global economy and supply chains, resulting in increased future volatility risk for our business operations and performance.

•Although the long-term implications of Israel's recent conflict are difficult to predict at this time, the financial impact of the conflict in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, including on accounts receivable and inventory reserves, was not material. For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the business of the Company in Israel represented less than 1% of the Company's consolidated revenues and assets.

Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular also includes Cath Lab Managed Services (CLMS) within the Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure division. Cardiovascular's net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 were $2.9 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively, an increase of 6 percent for both periods as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The net sales increase for both periods was primarily due to strong performance of Micra, TAVR, and Perfusion.

The graphs below illustrate the percent of Cardiovascular net sales by division for the three months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023:

Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure (CRHF) net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 increased 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The net sales increase for both periods was driven by continued adoption of Micra, including the U.S. launch of Micra AV2 and Micra VR2, and international growth of Arctic Front cryoablation catheters.

Structural Heart & Aortic (SHA) net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 increased 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The net sales increase was driven by growth in TAVR, including strong growth in Western Europe and Japan from adoption of Evolut FX TAVR system, and in Cardiac Surgery driven by growth in Perfusion particularly in the U.S.

Coronary & Peripheral Vascular (CPV) net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 increased 6 percent and 4 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net sales was driven by growth in guide catheters, balloons, and drug-eluting stents, as well as growth in our Vascular Embolization products.

In addition to the macro-economic and geopolitical factors described in the Executive Level Overview, looking ahead, we expect Cardiovascular could be affected by the following:

•Continued growth of our Micra transcatheter pacing system including the U.S. launch of Micra AV2 and Micra VR2 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, and increasing global penetration. Micra AV2 and Micra VR2 received CE Mark in January 2024.

Medical Surgical

Medical Surgical’s products span the entire continuum of patient care from diagnosis to recovery, with a focus on diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, pelvic region, obesity, and preventable complications. The products include those for advanced and general surgical products, surgical stapling devices, vessel sealing instruments, wound closure, electrosurgery products, hernia mechanical devices, mesh implants, advanced ablation, interventional lung, ventilators, airway products, and sensors and monitors for pulse oximetry, capnography, level of consciousness and cerebral oximetry. Medical Surgical's net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 were $2.1 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, an increase of 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The net sales increase for both periods was primarily driven by growth in Advanced Surgical Technologies and General Surgical Technologies.

The graphs below illustrate the percent of Medical Surgical net sales by division for the three months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023:

Surgical & Endoscopy (SE) net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 increased 5 percent and 6 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase for both periods was predominantly attributable to growth in Advanced Surgical Technologies, primarily driven by supply expansion, as well as continued growth in Wound Management, Electrosurgery, and Endoscopy. The increase for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 was also driven by growth in GI Genius and EndoFlip.

Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions (PMRI) net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 increased 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The net sales increase for both periods was largely due to growth in Nellcor pulse oximetry monitors and airways, partially offset by declines in ventilator sales.

In addition to the macro-economic and geopolitical factors described in the Executive Level Overview, looking ahead we expect Medical Surgical could be affected by the following:

•Acceptance and continued growth of Open-to-MIS (minimally invasive surgery) techniques and tools through our efforts to transition open surgery to MIS. Open-to-MIS initiative focuses on capturing the market opportunity that exists in transitioning open procedures to MIS, whether through traditional MIS, advanced instrumentation, or robotics. Through our approach, in parallel, we also expand our presence and optimize open surgery in current open surgery markets.

•Continued global acceptance and future growth of powered stapling and energy platform.

•Our ability to execute ongoing strategies addressing the competitive pressure of reprocessing vessel sealing disposables, near term pressures to bariatric surgery procedure volumes in the U.S. from pharmaceuticals, and growth of our surgical soft tissue robotics procedures in the U.S.

•Our ability to create markets and drive products and procedures into emerging markets with our high quality and cost-effective surgical products designed for customers in emerging markets. An example is our ValleyLab LS10 single channel vessel sealing generator, which is compatible with our line of LigaSure instruments and designed for simplified use and affordability.

•Expanding the use of less invasive treatments and furthering our commitment to improving options for women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Our expanded and strengthened surgical offerings complement our global gynecology business.

•Global adoption of robotic-assisted surgery and installations of Hugo robotic assisted surgery (RAS) system for urologic, bariatric, gynecologic, hernia, and general surgery procedures. This includes continued integration and adoption of Touch Surgery Enterprise with the first artificial intelligence powered surgical videos and analytics platform to make it easier to train and discover new techniques within the robotics platform. The Hugo RAS system, which received CE Mark in October 2021, as well as secured additional regulatory approvals outside the U.S., is designed to help reduce unwanted variability, improve patient outcomes, and, by extension, lower per procedure cost.

•Our recent decision to exit our ventilator product line and retain and combine the remaining PMRI businesses into one business unit called Acute Care and Monitoring (ACM). For the nine months ended January 26, 2024, ventilator product line revenue was $111 million. The Company expects to record an estimated pre-tax charge of $350 million to $425 million, the majority of which is expected to be recorded in the quarter ending April 26, 2024, primarily related to non-cash impairment of long-lived intangible assets. The Company will continue to honor existing ventilator contracts to serve the needs of its customers and their patients.

•Our ability to meet growing demand for our existing products and to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize the products within our pipeline, which include our Hugo RAS system in the U.S., Signia powered stapling devices, and our next-gen Ligasure and Sonicision vessel sealing devices.

Diabetes

Diabetes' products include insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, and consumables. Diabetes' net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 were $640 million and $1.8 billion, respectively, an increase of 12 percent and 10 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net sales for both periods was primarily driven by strong international growth as a result of the continued international expansion of the MiniMed 780G insulin pump system and integrated CGM. The launch of the MiniMed 780G insulin pump system in the U.S., during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, also contributed to the growth for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024.

In addition to the macro-economic and geopolitical factors described in the Executive Level Overview, looking ahead we expect Diabetes could be affected by the following:

•Continued acceptance and growth for the MiniMed 780G insulin pump system, which is powered by SmartGuard technology and features the added benefits of meal detection technology that automatically adjusts and corrects sugar levels every five minutes. The global adoption of our Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems has resulted in strong

•Changes in medical reimbursement policies and programs, along with additional payor coverage on insulin pumps.

•Our ability to meet growing demand for our existing products and to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize the products within our pipeline, including our next-generation sensor Simplera, which has been submitted for approval to the U.S. FDA and received CE Mark in September 2023.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

The following is a summary of cost of products sold, research and development, and selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023:

Cost of Products Sold Cost of products sold for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 was $2.8 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively, as compared to $2.7 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cost products sold as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 26, 2024 was primarily due to reduced freight costs, volume improvements, and stabilizing of raw material costs. The increase in cost products sold as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 was primarily attributable to increased labor and direct material manufacturing costs, predominantly due to inflationary pressures and supply constraints from time to time.

Research and Development Expense We remain committed to deliver the best possible experiences for patients, physicians, and caregivers we serve; to create technologies that expand what’s possible across the entire human body to transform lives; to turn data and insights into real action to serve patient needs improving care; and to expand healthcare access and deliver positive outcomes. Research and development expense for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 was $695 million and $2.1 billion, respectively, as compared to $688 million and $2.1 billion, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense Our goal is to continue to leverage selling, general, and administrative expense initiatives. Selling, general, and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries and wages, other administrative costs, such as professional fees and marketing expenses, certain acquisition, divestiture, and separation-related costs, and restructuring expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 was $2.7 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively, as compared to $2.6 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense for both periods is primarily due to reduced incentive performance in the prior year.

The following is a summary of other costs and expenses (income):

Simplification was designed to focus the organization on accelerating innovation, enhancing customer experience, driving revenue growth and winning market share, and had total cumulative pre-tax charges of $0.5 billion.

For additional information about our restructuring programs, refer to Note 5 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

Certain Litigation Charges We classify specified certain litigation charges and gains related to significant legal matters as certain litigation charges in the consolidated statements of income. For additional information, refer to Note 16 in the current period's consolidated financial statements.

Other Operating Expense (Income), Net Other operating expense (income), net primarily includes royalty expense, currency remeasurement and derivative gains and losses, Puerto Rico excise taxes, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, certain acquisition and divestiture-related items, and income from funded research and development arrangements.

For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the decrease in other operating expense (income), net was driven by the net currency impact of remeasurement expense and our hedging programs, which resulted in a net loss of $12 million and net gain of $16 million, respectively, as compared to a net gain of $132 million and $351 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease was partially offset by a decrease of $22 million and $67 million in Puerto Rico Excise Taxes for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024. As a result of newly enacted tax legislation in Puerto Rico, the Company is no longer subject to Puerto Rico Excise Tax, but is now subject to a higher withholding tax, which is recorded in income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income.

For the nine months ended January 26, 2024, the decrease in other operating expense (income), net was also driven by a decrease in acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, which was primarily attributable to non-cash pre-tax charges of $81 million, primarily related to goodwill, recorded in the prior year as a result of the April 1, 2023 sale of half of the Company's RCS business.

Other Non-Operating Income, Net Other non-operating income, net includes the non-service component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, investment gains and losses, and interest income.

For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the increase in other non-operating income, net is primarily attributable an increase in interest income, partially offset by net losses on our minority investment portfolio. Interest income was $170 million and $429 million for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, respectively, and $118 million and $246 million for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, respectively. Net losses on minority investments were $24 million and $113 million for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, respectively, as compared to a net gain of $7 million and $22 million for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, respectively.

Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net includes interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings, amortization of debt issuance costs and debt premiums or discounts, amortization of amounts excluded from the effectiveness assessment of certain net investment hedges, and charges recognized in connection with the early redemption of senior notes.

For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024, the increase in interest expense, net was primarily driven by increased interest rates on our global liquidity structures, the impact of higher coupons on Senior Notes issued in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, and the higher outstanding commercial paper balance. Partially offsetting the increase for the three and nine months was $49 million and $148 million, respectively, in after-tax gains representing amounts excluded from the effectiveness assessment of certain net investment hedges, compared to $26 million and $74 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior year. Also partially offsetting the increase in interest expense, net was the $53 million charge incurred as a result of the early redemption of approximately $2.3 billion of senior notes during the nine months ended January 27, 2023.

INCOME TAXES


	Three months ended						Nine months ended
(in millions)	January 26, 2024			January 27, 2023			January 26, 2024			January 27, 2023
Income tax provision	$	135		$	146		$	936		$	1,218
Income before income taxes	1,472			1,375			3,982			3,813
Effective tax rate	9.2		%	10.6		%	23.5		%	31.9		%

Non-GAAP income tax provision	$	312		$	239		$	954		$	736
Non-GAAP income before income taxes	2,055			1,973			5,965			5,706
Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate	15.2		%	12.1		%	16.0		%	12.9		%

Difference between the effective tax rate and Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate	6.0		%	1.5		%	(7.5)		%	(19.0)		%

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 was 9.2% and 23.5%, respectively, as compared to 10.6% and 31.9% for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 26, 2024 primarily relates to a Swiss Cantonal tax rate change on previously recorded deferred tax assets, which was partially offset by an increase in Puerto Rico withholding tax rates and finalization of certain tax returns and statute of limitation lapses for the quarter ended January 27, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 was attributable to the previously highlighted items and the $764 million income tax charge recorded during the nine months ended January 27, 2023 related to the U.S. Tax Court decision, partially offset by the Ventor court decision noted above and the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain net operating losses.

Our Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 was 15.2% and 16.0%, respectively, as compared to 12.1% and 12.9% for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2023, respectively The change in our Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate was primarily due to an increase in Puerto Rico withholding tax rates, year-over-year changes in operational results by jurisdiction, and a decrease in benefit related to the finalization of certain returns and statute of limitation lapses from the quarter ended January 27, 2023. An increase in our Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate of 1 percent would result in an additional income tax provision for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 of approximately $21 million and $60 million, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are currently in a strong financial position, and we believe our balance sheet and liquidity as of January 26, 2024 provide us with flexibility, and our cash, cash equivalents, and current investments, along with our credit facility and related commercial paper programs will satisfy our foreseeable operating needs.

Our liquidity and capital structure are evaluated regularly within the context of our annual operating and strategic planning processes. We consider the liquidity necessary to fund our operations, which includes working capital needs, investments in research and development, property, plant, and equipment, and other operating costs. We also consider capital allocation alternatives that balance returning value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, satisfying maturing debt, and acquiring businesses and technology.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following is a summary of cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, and the net change in cash and cash equivalents:


	Nine months ended
(in millions)	January 26, 2024		January 27, 2023
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	4,010	$	3,579
Investing activities	(1,670)		(3,018)
Financing activities	(2,091)		(70)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(170)		317
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	80	$	808

Operating Activities The $431 million increase in net cash provided was primarily driven by an increase in cash collected from customers due to an increase in sales. The increase in net cash was partially offset by timing of payments to vendors, as well as an increase in cash paid for interest and litigation. For more information on litigation payments, refer to Note 16.

Investing Activities The $1.3 billion decrease in cash used was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions of $1.8 billion, partially offset by an increase in net purchases of investments of $195 million, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.

Financing Activities There was a $2.0 billion increase in net cash used during the nine months ended January 26, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. In the current period, there was an increase in commercial paper that was issued and outstanding at quarter end of $385 million. This increase in cash provided by financing activities was offset by activity in the prior fiscal year. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company issued four tranches of Euro-denominated Senior Notes of approximately $3.4 billion. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company issued short-term borrowings of approximately $2.3 billion under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement and used the proceeds to fund the early redemption of senior notes for total consideration of $2.3 billion. For more information on the commercial paper, Senior Notes issued, Term Loan and redemption of senior notes, refer to the Debt and Capital section.

Debt and Capital

Our capital structure consists of equity and interest-bearing debt. We primarily utilize unsecured senior debt obligations to meet our financing needs and, to a lesser extent, bank borrowings. From time to time, we may repurchase our outstanding debt obligations in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Total debt at January 26, 2024 was $25.2 billion as compared to $24.4 billion at April 28, 2023. The increase in total debt was driven by commercial paper outstanding of $1.0 billion, offset by fluctuations in exchange rates.

In May 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. for an aggregate principal amount of up to ¥300 billion with a term of 364 days. In May and June 2022, Medtronic Global Holdings S.C.A. (Medtronic Luxco) borrowed an aggregate of ¥297 billion, or approximately $2.3 billion, of the term loan, under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds of the borrowings to fund the early redemption of $1.9 billion of Medtronic Inc. Senior Notes for $1.9 billion of total consideration, and $368 million of Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes for $376 million of total consideration. The Company recognized a total loss on debt extinguishment of $53 million within interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of income in the quarter ended July 29, 2022, which primarily included cash premiums and accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiums. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company repaid the term loan in full, including interest.

In September 2022, we issued four tranches of Euro-denominated Senior Notes with an aggregate principal of €3.5 billion, with maturities ranging from fiscal year 2026 to 2035, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $3.4 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs. The Company used the net proceeds to repay at maturity €750 million of 0.000% Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes for $772 million of total consideration in December 2022 and €1.5 billion of 0.375% Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes and €1.25 billion of 0.000% Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes for $2.9 billion of total consideration in March 2023.

In March 2023, Medtronic Luxco issued two tranches of USD-denominated Senior Notes with an aggregate principal of $2.0 billion, with maturities ranging from 2028 to 2033, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs. The Company used the net proceeds supplemented by additional cash to repay the ¥297 billion Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement discussed above for $2.3 billion of total consideration.

We repurchase our ordinary shares on occasion as part of our focus on returning value to our shareholders. In March 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $6.0 billion of the Company's ordinary shares. There is no specific time period associated with these repurchase authorizations. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 6 million shares under this program at an average price of $81.83. At January 26, 2024, we had approximately $1.9 billion remaining under the share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors.

For more information on credit arrangements, refer to Note 7 to the current period's consolidated financial statements and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023.

Liquidity

Our liquidity sources at January 26, 2024 included $1.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $6.7 billion of current investments. Additionally, we maintain commercial paper programs and a Credit Facility.

Our investments primarily include available-for-sale debt securities, including U.S. and non-U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, certificates of deposit, and other asset-backed securities. Refer to Note 6 to the current period's consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements.

We maintain multicurrency commercial paper programs for short-term financing, which allow us to issue unsecured commercial paper notes on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $3.5 billion. At January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, we had $1.0 billion and no commercial paper outstanding, respectively. The issuance of commercial paper reduces the amount of credit available under our existing line of credit, as explained below.

We also have a $3.5 billion five-year syndicated credit facility (Credit Facility), which expires in December 2027. At each anniversary date of the Credit Facility we can request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The Credit Facility provides backup funding for the commercial paper programs and may also be used for general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility provides us with the ability to increase our borrowing capacity by an additional $1.0 billion at any time during the term of the agreement. At January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Interest rates on advances of our Credit Facility are determined by a pricing matrix based on our long-term debt ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody’s). Facility fees are payable on the Credit Facility and are determined in the same manner as the interest rates. We are in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility.

The following table is a summary of our S&P and Moody's long-term debt ratings and short-term debt ratings:

Agency Rating(1)

January 26, 2024

April 28, 2023

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services

(1) Agency ratings are subject to change, and there may be no assurance that an agency will continue to provide ratings and/or maintain its current ratings. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agency, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

S&P and Moody's long-term debt ratings and short-term debt ratings at January 26, 2024 were unchanged as compared to the ratings at April 28, 2023. We do not expect the S&P and Moody's ratings to have a significant impact on our liquidity or future flexibility to access additional liquidity given our balance sheet, Credit Facility, and related commercial paper programs.

We have future contractual obligations and other minimum commercial commitments that are entered into in the normal course of business. We believe our off-balance sheet arrangements do not have a material current or anticipated future effect on our consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows. Refer to the Debt and Capital section above for changes in debt obligations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024; there have been no other material changes to our long-term contractual obligations as reported in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023.

ACQUISITIONS

Information regarding acquisitions is included in Note 4 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

GOODWILL

We assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the third quarter of the fiscal year and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. There were no impairments of goodwill in the current period as a result of the annual impairment test. As further described in Note 10, we have certain new operating segments as of the beginning of fiscal year 2024. Goodwill reporting units were tested for impairment before and after the alignment. There was no impairment of goodwill as a result of the impairment test.

The Company calculates the excess of each reporting unit's fair value over its carrying amount, including goodwill, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and revenue and earnings multiples using comparable public company information. Significant assumptions used in reporting unit fair value measurements include forecasted cash flows, including revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates, and revenue and earnings multiples. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. There were no impairments of intangible assets in the current period. Further adverse changes to macroeconomic conditions or significant changes to our current and future expected financial performance could lead to goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges in future periods, and such charges could be material to our results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We have used various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates reflect our best judgment about economic and market conditions and the potential effects on the valuation and/or carrying value of assets and liabilities based upon relevant information available. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

As of January 26, 2024, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

Due to the global nature of our operations, we are exposed to currency exchange rate changes, which may cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows. Fluctuations in the currency exchange rates of currency exposures that are unhedged, such as in certain emerging markets, may result in future earnings and cash flow volatility. The gross notional amount of all currency exchange rate derivative instruments outstanding at January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023 was $22.8 billion and $22.0 billion, respectively. At January 26, 2024, these contracts were in a net unrealized gain position of $413 million. Additional information regarding our currency exchange rate derivative instruments is included in Note 8 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

A sensitivity analysis of changes in the fair value of all currency exchange rate derivative contracts at January 26, 2024 indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened/weakened by 10 percent against all currencies, the fair value of these contracts would increase/decrease by approximately $1.7 billion. Any gains and losses on the fair value of derivative contracts would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying transactions. These offsetting gains and losses are not reflected in the above analysis.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk on our short-term investments and our borrowings. We manage interest rate risk in the aggregate, while focusing on our immediate and intermediate liquidity needs. Our debt portfolio at January 26, 2024 was comprised of debt predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros, of which substantially all is fixed rate debt. We are also exposed to interest rate changes affecting our investments in interest rate sensitive instruments, which include our marketable debt securities.

A sensitivity analysis of the impact on our interest rate-sensitive financial instruments of a hypothetical 50 basis point change in interest rates, as compared to interest rates at January 26, 2024, indicates that the fair value of these instruments would correspondingly change by $61 million.

For a discussion of current market conditions and the impact on our financial condition and results of operations, please see the “Liquidity” section of the current period's Management's Discussion and Analysis. For additional discussion of market risk, refer to Notes 6 and 8 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) and changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In accordance with Item 103 of Regulation S-K, we have adopted a $1 million disclosure threshold for proceedings under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party, as we believe matters under this threshold are not material to the Company. A discussion of the Company’s legal proceedings and other loss contingencies are described in Note 16 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.
