Solventum CorporationSUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATIONNON-GAAP MEASURES(Unaudited) In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement thefinancial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include (1) adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income andadjusted operating income margin, (2) adjusted diluted earnings per share, and (3) free cash flow. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating current performance and focusing management on our underlying operational results. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this information statement. These non-GAAP financialmeasures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. In addition, othercompanies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures.Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by othercompanies. Management cautions you not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures, but instead to consider themwith the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and shouldnot be considered in isolation. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplements to, not substitutes for, or superior to,the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The tables below reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest financial measure that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP for theperiods presented. Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Non-GAAP measures)
Page 7
Adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin are not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, theyshould not be considered a substitute for earnings data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarlytitled measures used by other companies. Solventum defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding the effects of restructuringcosts, Spin-Off and separation-related costs, separation-related impacts due to the sale of the Purification and Filtration business, andacquisition-related costs. Solventum defines adjusted operating income as operating income excluding the effects of amortization,restructuring costs, Spin-Off and separation-related costs, certain litigation-related costs, separation-related impacts due to the sale of thePurification and Filtration business, acquisition-related costs and costs related to the planned separation of the Health Information Systemsbusiness. Adjusted operating income margin is adjusted operating income divided by the U.S GAAP measure total net sales for the sameperiod. The Company believes adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin provide investorswith visibility into the Company's unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and reflects underlying financial performance. However, adjustedgross margin and adjusted operating income should not be construed as inferring that the Company's future results will be unaffected by theitems for which the measure adjusts. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for earnings dataprepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Solventumdefines adjusted diluted earnings per share as net income excluding the after-tax effects of amortization, restructuring costs, Spin-Off andseparation-related costs, certain litigation-related costs, separation-related impacts due to the sale of the Purification and Filtration business,acquisition-related costs and costs related to the planned separation of the Health Information Systems business. The Company believesadjusted earnings per share provides investors with improved comparability of underlying operating results and a further understanding andadditional transparency regarding how the Company evaluates the business. However, adjusted earnings per share should not be construedas inferring that the Company's future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.

Solventum CorporationSUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATIONNON-GAAP MEASURES – (CONTINUED)*(Unaudited) Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure): Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared inaccordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company defines freecash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. It should not be inferredthat the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is meaningful toinvestors as it is a useful measure of liquidity and the Company uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the Company and itsability to generate cash. Free cash flow varies across quarters throughout the year. Below find a recap of free cash flow.
