3M 1Q22 results—2022 guidance:

2022 GAAP EPS guidance of $9.89-10.39 was lowered by $0.26 to account for previously announced charge related to PFAS environmental remediation in Belgium (#msg-168387784).

3M will continue to report both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings; however, starting with 1Q22 non-GAAP earnings will exclude litigation expenses (as well as one-off items such as the $0.26 charge for environmental remediation mentioned above). On this basis, 3M issued 2022 non-GAAP EPS guidance of $10.75-11.25, +6-11% YoY (vs 2021’s $10.12).

(Both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS guidance exclude the effect of the planned spinoff of the food-service business and its combination with NEOG.)
