Accounting standards require that goodwill be tested for impairment annually and between annual tests in certain
circumstances such as a change in reporting units or the testing of recoverability of a significant asset group within a
reporting unit. At 3M, reporting units correspond to a division.
As described in Note 16, effective in the first quarter of 2016, the Company changed its business segment reporting in its
continuing effort to improve the alignment of its businesses around markets and customers. For any product changes 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 first quarter of 2016, 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 2016 for all reporting units and
determined that no impairment existed. In addition, the Company had no impairments of goodwill in prior years.

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:

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had tax effected operating losses, capital losses, and tax credit carryovers for
federal (approximately $21 million), state (approximately $1 million), and international (approximately $71 million), with
all amounts before valuation allowances. The federal tax attribute carryovers will expire after 15 to 20 years, the state
after 5 to 10 years, and the international after one to three years or have an indefinite carryover period. The tax
attributes being carried over arise as certain jurisdictions may have tax losses or may have inabilities to utilize certain
losses without the same type of taxable income. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has provided $47 million of valuation
allowance against certain of these deferred tax assets based on management's determination that it is more-likely-than-not
that the tax benefits related to these assets will not be realized.

Effective worldwide tax rate 28.3 % 29.1 % 28.9 %
The effective tax rate for 2016 was 28.3 percent, compared to 29.1 percent in 2015, a decrease of 0.8 percentage points,
impacted by several factors. Primary factors that decreased the Company's effective tax rate included the recognition of
excess tax benefits beginning in 2016 related to employee share-based payments (resulting from the adoption of ASU No.
2016-09, as discussed in Note 1) and a reduction in state taxes. Combined, these factors decreased the Company's effective
tax rate by 3.2 percentage points. The decrease was partially offset by a 2.4 percentage point increase, which related to
remeasurements of 3M's uncertain tax positions and international taxes that were impacted by changes to both the geographic
mix of income before taxes and additional tax expense related to global cash optimization actions.
The effective tax rate for 2015 was 29.1 percent, compared to 28.9 percent in 2014, an increase of 0.2 percentage points,
impacted by many factors. Primary factors which increased the Company's effective tax rate included international taxes,
which were impacted by both changes in foreign currency rates and changes to the geographic mix of income before taxes, and
an increase in state taxes. Combined, these factors increased the Company's effective tax rate by 2.4 percentage points.
This increase was partially offset by a 2.2 percentage point decrease, which related to the remeasurements of 3M's
uncertain tax positions, including the restoration of tax basis on certain assets for which depreciation deductions were
previously limited, and increases in the domestic manufacturer's deduction and U.S. research and development credit
benefits.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With
few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by
tax authorities for years before 2005.
The IRS has completed its field examination of the Company's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2005 through
2014. The Company protested certain IRS positions within these tax years and entered into the administrative appeals
process with the IRS. In December 2012, the Company received a statutory notice of deficiency for the 2006 year. The
Company filed a petition in Tax Court in the first quarter of 2013 relating to the 2006 tax year.
Currently, the Company is under examination by the IRS for its U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2015 and 2016.
It is anticipated that the IRS will complete its examination of the Company for 2015 by the end of the second quarter of
2017 and for 2016 by the end of the first quarter of 2018. As of December 31, 2016, the IRS has not proposed any
significant adjustments to the Company's tax positions for which the Company is not adequately reserved.
Payments relating to other proposed assessments arising from the 2005 through 2016 examinations may not be made until a
final agreement is reached between the Company and the IRS on such assessments or upon a final resolution resulting from
the administrative appeals process or judicial action. In addition to the U.S. federal examination, there is also audit
activity in several U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions.
3M anticipates changes to the Company's uncertain tax positions due to the closing and resolution of audit issues for
various audit years mentioned above and closure of statutes. Currently, the Company is estimating a decrease in
unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months as a result of anticipated resolutions of audit issues.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (UTB) is as follows:
Federal, State and Foreign Tax
(Millions) 2016 2015 2014
Gross UTB Balance at January 1 $ 381 $ 583 $ 659
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 67 77 201
Additions for tax positions of prior years 43 140 30
Reductions for tax positions of prior years (66) (399) (74)
Settlements (95) (4) (154)
Reductions due to lapse of applicable statute of limitations (11) (16) (79)
Gross UTB Balance at December 31 $ 319 $ 381 $ 583
Net UTB impacting the effective tax rate at December 31 $ 333 $ 369 $ 265
The total amount of UTB, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate by $333 million as of December 31, 2016, $369
million as of December 31, 2015, and $265 million as of December 31, 2014. The ending net UTB results from adjusting the
gross balance for items such as Federal, State, and non-U.S. deferred items, interest and penalties, and deductible taxes.
The net UTB is included as components of Other Assets, Accrued Income Taxes, and Other Liabilities within the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. The Company
recognized in the consolidated statement of income on a gross basis approximately $10 million of expense, $2 million of
expense, and $14 million of benefit in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The amount of interest and penalties recognized
may be an expense or benefit due to new or remeasured unrecognized tax benefit accruals. At December 31, 2016, and December
31, 2015, accrued interest and penalties in the consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis were $52 million and $45
million, respectively. Included in these interest and penalty amounts are interest and penalties related to tax positions
for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such
deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the
shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the
taxing authority to an earlier period.
As a result of certain employment commitments and capital investments made by 3M, income from certain manufacturing
activities in the following countries is subject to reduced tax rates or, in some cases, is exempt from tax for years
through the following: China (2016), Thailand (2018), Korea (2019), Brazil (2023), Switzerland (2024), and Singapore
(2025). The income tax benefits attributable to the tax status of these subsidiaries are estimated to be $142 million (23
cents per diluted share) in 2016, $114 million (18 cents per diluted share) in 2015, and $99 million (15 cents per diluted
share) in 2014.
The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to international companies that have been
considered to be reinvested indefinitely. The unremitted earnings relate to ongoing operations and were approximately $14
billion as of December 31, 2016. Because of the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits, the multiple avenues in which to
repatriate the earnings to minimize tax cost, and because a large portion of these earnings are not liquid, it is not
practical to determine the income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.
NOTE 9. Marketable Securities
The Company invests in asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit/time deposits, commercial paper, and other
securities. The following is a summary of amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for marketable securities
(current and non-current).
December 31, December 31,
(Millions) 2016 2015
Corporate debt securities $ 10 $ 10
Foreign government agency securities - 10

Current marketable securities $ 280 $ 118
U.S. municipal securities $ 17 $ 9
Non-current marketable securities $ 17 $ 9
Total marketable securities $ 297 $ 127
Classification of marketable securities as current or non-current is based on the nature of the securities and availability
for use in current operations. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, gross unrealized gains and/or losses (pre-tax) were not
material. Refer to Note 6 for a table that provides the net realized gains (losses) related to sales or impairments of debt
and equity securities, which includes marketable securities. The gross amounts of the realized gains or losses were not
material. Cost of securities sold use the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Since these marketable securities are
classified as available-for-sale securities, changes in fair value will flow through other comprehensive income, with
amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income into earnings upon sale or "other-than-temporary" impairment.
3M reviews impairments associated with its marketable securities in accordance with the measurement guidance provided by
ASC 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, when determining the classification of the impairment as "temporary" or
"other-than-temporary". A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other
comprehensive income component of shareholders' equity. Such an unrealized loss does not reduce net income attributable to
3M for the applicable accounting period because the loss is not viewed as other-than-temporary. The factors evaluated to
differentiate between temporary and other-than-temporary include the projected future cash flows, credit ratings actions,
and assessment of the credit quality of the underlying collateral, as well as other factors.
The balance at December 31, 2016, for marketable securities by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may
differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without
prepayment penalties.

3M has a diversified marketable securities portfolio. Within this portfolio, asset-backed securities primarily include
interests in automobile loans, credit cards and other asset-backed securities. 3M's investment policy allows investments in
asset-backed securities with minimum credit ratings of Aa3 by Moody's Investors Service or AA- by Standard & Poor's or
Fitch Ratings or DBRS. Asset-backed securities must be rated by at least two of the aforementioned rating agencies, one of
which must be Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's. At December 31, 2016, all asset-backed security investments
were in compliance with this policy. Approximately 84.8 percent of all asset-backed security investments were rated AAA or
A-1+ by Standard & Poor's and/or Aaa or P-1 by Moody's Investors Service and/or AAA or F1+ by Fitch Ratings. Interest rate
risk and credit risk related to the underlying collateral may impact the value of investments in asset-backed securities,
while factors such as general conditions in the overall credit market and the nature of the underlying collateral may
affect the liquidity of investments in asset-backed securities. 3M does not currently expect risk related to its holding in
asset-backed securities to materially impact its financial condition or liquidity.
