3M recently released its second-quarter 2025 results, reporting sales of $6.3 billion, up 1.4% year-on-year. The company reported organic sales were up 0.6% year-on-year. Adjusted sales for the quarter were $6.2 billion, up 2.3% year-on-year. Organic sales for the quarter were up 1.5% year-on-year.

"We delivered strong results in the second quarter, posting positive organic sales growth and double-digit EPS growth," said William Brown, 3M chairman and CEO. "This continues our trend from Q1 with all three business groups growing organically for the third quarter in a row. Our 3M eXcellence operating model is the foundation for delivering on each of our strategic priorities, and it drives the operating rigor and rhythm of our performance culture. With execution improving and solid results in the first half, we have confidence in our increased full-year EPS guidance, which now embeds the expected impact of tariffs."

Given the company’s performance in the first half of 2025, 3M updated its full year 2025 guidance. The updated guidance includes the impact from tariffs. The company announced that it expects adjusted total sales growth in the range of ~2.5 percent, reflecting adjusted organic sales growth of ~2.0 percent. It expects adjusted EPS in the range of $7.75 to $8.00.

In relation to its full-year guidance, the company stated that 3M cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures and, therefore, does not provide them on a forward-looking basis reflecting these items.
