costs to secure revolving lines of credit, which are, at the outset,
not associated with an outstanding borrowing. ASU No. 2015-15 provides commentary that the SEC staff would not object to an
entity deferring and presenting costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortizing
them ratably over the term of the revolving debt arrangement. For 3M, ASU No. 2015-03 is effective January 1, 2016, with
early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2015 with retrospective application to
prior periods. As a result, debt issue costs aggregating $26 million previously included within Other Assets have been
reflected as reductions in the balances of Long-Term Debt as of December 31, 2014.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Arrangement, which requires
a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. If the arrangement contains a
software license, the customer would account for fees related to the software license element in a manner consistent with
accounting for the acquisition of other acquired software licenses. If the arrangement does not contain a software license,
the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. An arrangement would contain a software license
element if both (1) the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the
hosting period without significant penalty and (2) it is feasible for the customer to either run the software on its own
hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the vendor to host the software. For 3M, this ASU is effective January
1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The standard provides for adoption either fully retrospectively or prospectively to
arrangements entered into, or materially modified, after the effective date. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a
material impact on 3M's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset
Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This standard modifies existing disclosure requirements such that investments for
which the practical expedient is used to measure their fair value at net asset value (NAV) would be removed from the fair
value hierarchy disclosures. Instead, an entity would be required to include those investments as a reconciling item such
that the total fair value amount of investments in the fair value hierarchy disclosure is consistent with the amount on the
balance sheet. Changes were also made to the requirements in a sponsor's employee benefit plan asset disclosures. For 3M,
this standard is effective January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the fourth
quarter of 2015 with retrospective application to prior periods. As a result, Note 11, Pension and Postretirement Benefit
Plans, reflects the modified disclosures with respect to applicable plan assets. As this ASU only relates to certain
disclosures, it did not impact the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies existing
requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount
requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin.
The new ASU replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less
reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider
replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. For 3M, this standard is
effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing this
ASU's impacts on 3M's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, that
eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments
retrospectively. Under existing standards, an acquirer in a business combination reports provisional amounts with respect
to acquired assets and liabilities when their measurements are incomplete as of the end of the reporting period. Prior to
the impact of this ASU, an acquirer is required to adjust provisional amounts (and the related impact on earnings) by
restating prior period financial statements during the measurement period which cannot exceed one year from the date of
acquisition. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement-period adjustment (including the impact
on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified-eliminating the requirement
to restate prior period financial statements. The new standard requires disclosure of the nature and amount of
measurement-period adjustments as well as information with respect to the portion of the adjustments recorded in
current-period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustments to provisional
amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The ASU is applied prospectively to measurement-period adjustments
that occur after the effective date. For 3M, this standard is required prospectively beginning January 1, 2016, with early
adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard with respect to measurement-period adjustments beginning in the
fourth quarter of 2015. Additional disclosure, as applicable, is included in Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires entities
to present deferred tax assets (DTAs) and deferred tax liabilities (DTLs), along with any related valuation allowance, as
noncurrent in a balance sheet. This ASU eliminates current guidance requiring deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be
presented as a net current asset or liability and a net noncurrent asset or liability. As a result, each jurisdiction would
have one net noncurrent DTA or DTL balance. The ASU does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting
DTAs and DTLs within a particular jurisdiction. For 3M, this standard is effective January 1, 2017, with early adoption
permitted. In light of the process simplification provided by this ASU, the Company adopted this standard in the fourth
quarter of 2015 with retrospective application to prior periods. As a result, the December 31, 2014 balances of DTAs and
DTLs previously reported were impacted as follows:
December 31, 2014
(Millions) Previously Reported Impact As Adopted
Prepaid expenses and other (within other current assets) $ 595 $ 169 $ 764
Other current tax assets (within other current assets) 444 (444) -
Deferred tax assets (within other assets) 889 241 1,130
Deferred tax liabilities (within other current liabilities) 34 (34) -
In conjunction with the adoption of this ASU, 3M reclassified $169 million of remaining other current tax assets to prepaid
expenses and other to conform to the 2015 presentation.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities, which revises the accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity
securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The ASU
also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The new guidance
requires the fair value measurement of investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity,
including investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies (collectively, equity
securities) that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method. Entities will need to
measure these investments and recognize changes in fair value in net income. Entities will no longer be able to recognize
unrealized holding gains and losses on equity securities they classify under current guidance as available for sale in
other comprehensive income (OCI). They also will no longer be able to use the cost method of accounting for equity
securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Instead, for these types of equity investments that do not
otherwise qualify for the net asset value practical expedient, entities will be permitted to elect a practicability
exception and measure the investment at cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes (in orderly
transactions). The ASU also establishes an incremental recognition and disclosure requirement related to the presentation
of fair value changes of financial liabilities for which the fair value option (FVO) has been elected. Under this guidance,
an entity would be required to separately present in OCI the portion of the total fair value change attributable to
instrument-specific credit risk as opposed to reflecting the entire amount in earnings. For derivative liabilities for
which the FVO has been elected, however, any changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk would
continue to be presented in net income, which is consistent with current guidance. For 3M, this standard is effective
beginning January 1, 2018 via a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings, except for guidance relative
to equity securities without readily determinable fair values which is applied prospectively. The Company is currently
assessing this ASU's impacts on 3M's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
NOTE 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions:
3M makes acquisitions of certain businesses from time to time that are aligned with its strategic intent with respect to,
among other factors, growth markets and adjacent product lines or technologies.
The impact on the consolidated balance sheet of the purchase price allocations related to 2015 acquisitions and assigned
weighted-average intangible asset lives, including adjustments relative to other acquisitions within the measurement
period, follows. The allocation of purchase consideration related to the August 2015 Capital Safety and Polypore
Separations Media acquisitions is considered preliminary, primarily with respect to certain tax-related assets and
liabilities. 3M expects to finalize the allocation of purchase price within the one year measurement-period following these
acquisitions. Adjustments to preliminary allocations primarily related to the identification and valuation of certain
indefinite-lived intangible assets (further discussed below). The change to provisional amounts resulted in an immaterial
impact to results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2015, a portion of which relates to earlier quarters in the
measurement period.

3M completed one acquisition (Treo Solutions, LLC) during 2014, the impact of which on the consolidated balance sheet was
not considered material. Separately, as discussed in Note 6, during 2014, 3M (via Sumitomo 3M Limited) purchased Sumitomo
Electric Industries, Ltd.'s 25 percent interest in 3M's consolidated Sumitomo 3M Limited subsidiary for 90 billion Japanese
Yen. Because 3M already had a controlling interest in this consolidated subsidiary, this transaction was separately
recorded as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.
There were no acquisitions that closed during 2013.
Goodwill resulting from business combinations is largely attributable to the existing workforce of the acquired businesses
and synergies expected to arise after 3M's acquisition of these businesses. Pro forma information related to acquisitions
was not included because the impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations was not considered to be material.
In addition to business combinations, 3M periodically acquires certain tangible and/or intangible assets and purchases
interests in certain enterprises that do not otherwise qualify for accounting as business combinations. These transactions
are largely reflected as additional asset purchase and investment activity.
2015 acquisitions:
In March 2015, 3M (Health Care Business) purchased all of the outstanding shares of Ivera Medical Corp., headquartered in
San Diego, California. Ivera Medical Corp. is a manufacturer of health care products that disinfect and protect devices
used for access into a patient's bloodstream. In addition, in the first quarter of 2015, 3M (Industrial Business) purchased
the remaining interest in a former equity method investment for an immaterial amount.
In August 2015, 3M (Safety and Graphics Business) acquired all of the outstanding shares of Capital Safety Group S.A.R.L.,
with operating headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota, from KKR & Co. L.P. for $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired. The net
assets acquired included the assumption of $0.8 billion of debt. Capital Safety is a leading global provider of fall
protection equipment.
In August 2015, 3M (Industrial Business) acquired the assets and liabilities associated with Polypore International, Inc.'s
Separations Media business, headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, for $1.0 billion. Polypore's Separations Media business is
a leading provider of microporous membranes and modules for filtration in the life sciences, industrial and specialty
segments.
Purchased identifiable finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisition activity in 2015 totaled $1.0 billion. The
associated finite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2015 will be amortized on a systematic and rational basis (generally
straight line) over a weighted-average life of 14 years (lives ranging from two to 20 years). Indefinite-lived intangible
assets of $520 million relate to certain tradenames associated with the Capital Safety acquisition which have been in
existence for over 55 years, have a history of leading market-share positions, have been and are intended to be
continuously renewed, and the associated products of which are expected to generate cash flows for 3M for an indefinite
period of time. Acquired in-process research and development and identifiable intangible assets for which significant
assumed renewals or extensions of underlying arrangements impacted the determination of their useful lives were not
material.
2014 acquisitions:
During 2014, 3M completed one business combination. The purchase price paid for this business combination (net of cash
acquired) and the impact of other matters (net) during 2014 aggregated to $94 million.
In April 2014, 3M (Health Care Business) purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of Treo Solutions LLC,
headquartered in Troy, New York. Treo Solutions LLC is a provider of data analytics and business intelligence to healthcare
payers and providers.
Purchased identifiable finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisition activity in 2014 totaled $34 million. The
associated finite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2014 will be amortized on a systematic and rational basis (generally
straight line) over a weighted-average life of six years (lives ranging from three to 10 years). Acquired in-process
research and development and identifiable intangible assets for which significant assumed renewals or extensions of
underlying arrangements impacted the determination of their useful lives were not material.
Divestitures:
3M may divest certain businesses from time to time based upon review of the Company's portfolio considering, among other
items, factors relative to the extent of strategic and technological alignment and optimization of capital deployment, in
addition to considering if selling the businesses results in the greatest value creation for the Company and for
shareholders.
In January 2015, 3M (Electronics and Energy Business) completed the sale of its global Static Control business to Desco
Industries Inc., based in Chino, California. 2014 sales of this business were $46 million. This transaction was not
considered material.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, 3M (Safety and Graphics Business) entered into agreements with One Equity Partners Capital
Advisors L.P. (OEP) to sell the assets of 3M's library systems business. The sales of the North American business and the
majority of the business outside of North America closed in October and November 2015, respectively. The sale of the
remainder of the library systems business is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016. In December 2015, 3M (Safety
and Graphics Business) also completed the sale of Faab Fabricauto, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3M, to Hills Numberplates
Limited. The library systems business, part of the Traffic Safety and Security Division, delivers circulation management
solutions to library customers with on-premise hardware and software, maintenance and service, and an emerging cloud-based
digital lending platform. Faab Fabricauto, also part of the Traffic Safety and Security Division, is a leading French
manufacturer of license plates and signage solutions. The aggregate cash proceeds relative to the 2015 global library
systems and Faab Fabricauto divestiture transactions was $104 million. The Company recorded a net pre-tax gain of $40
million (approximately $10 million after tax) in 2015 as a result of the sale and any adjustment of carrying value.
In January 2016, 3M (Industrial Business Group) entered into an agreement to sell to Innovative Chemical Products Group, a
portfolio company of Audax Private Equity, the assets of 3M's pressurized polyurethane foam adhesives business (formerly
known as Polyfoam). This business is a provider of pressurized polyurethane foam adhesive formulations and systems into the
residential roofing, commercial roofing and insulation and industrial foam segments in the United States with annual sales
of approximately $20 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary close
conditions.
In June 2013, 3M (Consumer Business) completed the sale of its Scientific Anglers and Ross Reels businesses to The Orvis
Company, Inc. based in Manchester, Vermont. This transaction was not considered material
The aggregate operating income of these businesses included in the Company's operating results for the periods presented
and the amounts of major assets and liabilities of any associated disposal groups classified as held-for-sale as of
December 31, 2015 were not material.
NOTE 3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Purchased goodwill from acquisitions totaled $2.5 billion in 2015, $636 million of which is deductible for tax purposes.
Purchased goodwill from acquisitions totaled $65 million in 2014, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The amounts
in the "Translation and other" column in the following table primarily relate to changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. The goodwill balance by business segment follows:
Goodwill

Total Company $ 7,345 $ 65 $ (360) $ 7,050 $ 2,495 $ (296) $ 9,249
As described in Note 16, effective in the third quarter of 2015, within the Health Care business segment, the Company
formed the Oral Care Solutions Division, which combined the former 3M ESPE and 3M Unitek divisions. For any product moves
that resulted in reporting unit changes, the Company applied the relative fair value method to determine the impact on
goodwill of the associated reporting units. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company completed its assessment of any
potential goodwill impairment for reporting units impacted by this new structure and determined that no impairment existed.
The Company also completed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2015 for all reporting units and
determined that no impairment existed. In addition, the Company had no impairments of goodwill in prior years.
Acquired Intangible Assets
For 2015, the intangible assets (excluding goodwill) acquired through business combinations increased the gross carrying
amount. Balances are also impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The gross carrying amount and accumulated
amortization of acquired intangible assets as of December 31, follow:
(Millions) 2015 2014
Customer related intangible assets $ 1,973 $ 1,348
Patents 616 581
Other technology-based intangible assets 525 407
Definite-lived tradenames 421 401
Other amortizable intangible assets 216 221
Total gross carrying amount $ 3,751 $ 2,958
Accumulated amortization - customer related (668) (597)
Accumulated amortization - patents (481) (472)
Accumulated amortization - other technology based (252) (215)
Accumulated amortization - definite-lived tradenames (215) (195)
Accumulated amortization - other (169) (167)
Total accumulated amortization $ (1,785) $ (1,646)
Total finite-lived intangible assets - net $ 1,966 $ 1,312
Non-amortizable intangible assets (primarily tradenames) 635 123
Total intangible assets - net $ 2,601 $ 1,435
Certain tradenames acquired by 3M are not amortized because they have been in existence for over 55 years, have a history
of leading-market share positions, have been and are intended to be continuously renewed, and the associated products of
which are expected to generate cash flows for 3M for an indefinite period of time.
Amortization expense for the years ended December 31 follows:
(Millions) 2015 2014 2013
Amortization expense $ 229 $ 228 $ 236
Expected amortization expense for acquired amortizable intangible assets recorded as of December 31, 2015 follows:

(Millions) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2020
Amortization expense $ 252 $ 226 $ 205 $ 192 $ 183 $ 908
The preceding expected amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts of amortization expense may differ from
estimated amounts due to additional intangible asset acquisitions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, impairment
of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of intangible assets and other events. 3M expenses the costs incurred to
renew or extend the term of intangible assets.
NOTE 4. Restructuring Actions
2015 Restructuring Actions:
During the fourth quarter of 2015, management approved and committed to undertake certain restructuring actions primarily
focused on structural overhead, largely in the U.S. and slower-growing markets, with particular emphasis on Europe, Middle
East, and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America. This impacted approximately 1,700 positions worldwide and resulted in a
fourth-quarter 2015 pre-tax charge of $114 million.
Components of these restructuring charges are summarized by business segment as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2015
(Millions) Employee-Related Asset-Related Total

Purchase and Sale of Subsidiary Shares
On September 1, 2014, 3M (via Sumitomo 3M Limited) purchased Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.'s 25 percent interest in
3M's consolidated Sumitomo 3M Limited subsidiary for 90 billion Japanese Yen. Upon completion of the transaction, 3M owned
100 percent of Sumitomo 3M Limited. This transaction was recorded as a financing activity (Purchase of noncontrolling
interest) in the statement of cash flows.
In April 2014, 3M purchased the remaining noncontrolling interest in a consolidated 3M subsidiary for an immaterial amount,
which was classified as a financing activity (Purchase of noncontrolling interest) in the consolidated statement of cash
flows.
The following table summarizes the effects of these 2014 transactions on equity attributable to 3M Company shareholders:

Net income attributable to 3M $ 4,956
Impact of purchase of subsidiary shares (409)
Change in 3M Company shareholders' equity from net income
attributable to 3M and impact of purchase of subsidiary shares $ 4,547
In March 2013, 3M sold shares in 3M India Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, in return for $8 million. The
noncontrolling interest shares of this subsidiary trade on a public exchange in India. This sale of shares complied with an
amendment to Indian securities regulations that required 3M India Limited, as a listed company, to achieve a minimum public
shareholding of at least 25 percent. As a result of this transaction, 3M's ownership in 3M India Limited was reduced from
76 percent to 75 percent. The $8 million received in the first quarter of 2013 was classified as other financing activity
in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Because the Company retained its controlling interest, the sale resulted in an
increase in 3M Company shareholder's equity of $7 million and an increase in noncontrolling interest of $1 million.
