Pro Forma Financial Information
Included in Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, are unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the “pro forma financial statements”) of
Solventum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Solventum” or the “Company”) relating to Solventum’s previously announced Transaction (as defined below) with Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”).
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and do not purport to reflect what the Company’s actual results of
operations or financial condition or this pro forma financial information would have been had the Transaction occurred in as of and for the periods indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company's future results of operations or
financial condition. Notably, among other limitations, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect:
|
• |
the Company’s intent to use the net proceeds from the Transaction through the pay down of term loans and bond buyback; and
|
|
• |
any actions the Company may take to address general corporate overhead costs which were historically allocated to the business to be divested, including labor and non-labor expenses related to the
Company’s corporate support functions, such as those related to finance, accounting, tax, treasury, information technology, human resources, legal, and others.

Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
As previously disclosed, on February 25, 2025, Solventum and the Buyer entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Initial Agreement”), pursuant to
which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Buyer agreed to acquire from Solventum certain assets and liabilities related to Solventum’s purification and filtration business. On June 25, 2025, Solventum and Buyer entered into
an Amended and Restated Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”) to exclude Solventum’s drinking water filtration business from the scope of the purification and filtration business to be acquired by Buyer and reduce the cash consideration payable for
the acquired business at the closing of the transaction from approximately $4.10 billion to approximately $4.00 billion, with net proceeds still intended to be used primarily to pay down debt (the “Transaction”). The closing purchase price continues
to be subject to customary adjustments for closing cash and debt, unpaid transaction expenses and working capital as set forth in the Agreement.
The pro forma financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K have been derived from the Company’s historical
consolidated financial statements and give effect to the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 reflects the Company’s financial position as if the Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2025 (“Pro
Forma Balance Sheet”). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 reflect the Company’s results as if the Transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2024
for all periods presented (“Pro Forma Statements of Income”). The Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Statements of Income are both filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The pro forma financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K have been prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only and
are subject to assumptions and adjustments, which management believes to be reasonable, given the information available on the date hereof. It is subject to other uncertainties and does not purport to reflect what Solventum’s actual results of
operations or financial condition or this pro forma financial information would have been had the Transaction been completed on the dates assumed for purposes of such pro forma financial information or to be indicative of Solventum’s financial
condition, results of operations or metrics as of or for any future date or period. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not modify or update the consolidated financial statements of Solventum included in Solventum’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2024 or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
