The company has also made adjustments to its segment information and disaggregated revenue data to reflect changes in its business segments and the impact of the Solventum separation. 3M's continuing operations are managed across three business segments: Safety and Industrial, Transportation and Electronics, and Consumer. The company has highlighted the importance of organic sales change as a metric, which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures. Additionally, 3M has noted the impact of special items on its financials, including significant litigation costs and sales and income from manufactured PFAS products. Investors and management are provided with non-GAAP measures adjusted for these special items to better understand ongoing operations and analyze operating trends.
