:MMM MMM Myeloid metaplasia with myelofibrosis, see there ) today announced its sales and profit results for the second quarter 2006.

Second-quarter worldwide sales totaled $5.7 billion, up 7.5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2005. Total local-currency sales increased 7.2 percent, including 2.6 percent from acquisitions, primarily CUNO. Local-currency sales increased 11 percent in Industrial and Transportation, 8.3 percent in Safety, Security and Protection Services, 6.5 percent in Display and Graphics, 6.1 percent in Electro E`lec´tro

 and Communications, 4.6 percent in Consumer and Office, and 4.1 percent in Health Care. All six businesses posted positive local currency growth for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Second-quarter net income was $882 million, or $1.15 per share, including net gains of $0.10 per share due to the combination of positive benefits from income tax adjustments(a), partially offset by settlement costs of a previously disclosed dis·close

Included in these results are stock options related costs of $0.07 per share in the second quarter of 2006 and $0.04 per share in the second quarter of 2005(d). Reported net income and earnings per share increased 16.9 percent and 19.8 percent, respectively.

"While forecasting demand in this business is difficult, we anticipate that inventories will return to normal in the second half of the year and sales growth will accelerate as consumer demand for LCD TV A flat panel TV that uses LCD technology or a rear-projection TV that is based on LCD microdisplay panels.

Margins will be somewhat lower due to a shift in mix from monitors to larger format LCD televisions."

Stake also addressed the issue of higher start up costs in the company's new multilayer optical film facility. "Our new facility is designed to produce larger-format films for LCD TVs, which is the fastest-growing segment of the LCD market," he noted. "Producing these new highly complex films at the quality levels demanded by our customers and at acceptable yields is a tremendous challenge. We have been manufacturing multilayer optical films for over a decade, and we are confident that we can resolve these issues to meet the expected increase in seasonal demand."

The company also noted that gross margins were below expectations, largely a result of the optical film issues, but also due in part to capacity constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference.

As communicated in the previously mentioned July 7 press release, 3M expects calendar year 2006 reported earnings to be in the range of $4.55 to $4.65 per share. Included in this estimate is the combination of previously mentioned net gains of $0.10 per share in the second quarter of 2006, and an estimated annual cost of $0.17 per share due to expensing of stock options. 3M also expects full-year organic local-currency sales growth of between 5.5 and 8 percent, which is unchanged versus its previous expectation. The company estimates that acquisitions will add about 2 percent to 2006 sales growth.

For the third quarter of 2006, the company expects organic local-currency sales growth of 4 to 8 percent. Acquisitions are expected to add approximately ap·prox·i·mate

The company expects third-quarter earnings per share will be in the range of $1.10 to $1.15, including an estimated $0.04 per share cost from stock options expensing. In the third quarter of 2005, 3M earned $1.08 per share including $0.02 per share from stock options expensing.

(a) Second quarter tax adjustments are due to the resolution of
        U.S. tax audits through 2001, the substantial resolution of
        audits in certain European countries and adjustments to tax
        accruals for all other open audit years.

    (b) 3M entered into an agreement in principle during the second
        quarter to resolve the antitrust class action involving direct
        purchasers of transparent tape that as previously disclosed
        had been scheduled to start trial at the end of May. The
        settlement is conditioned on court approval, which will be
        sought promptly upon execution of final settlement documents
        and is expected to be granted later this year or early next
        year.

    (c) In 2005, 3M reinvested $1.7 billion of foreign earnings in the
        United States pursuant to the provisions of the American Jobs
        Creation Act of 2004. This act provided the company the
        opportunity to tax efficiently repatriate foreign earnings for
        U.S. qualifying investments specified in its domestic
        reinvestment plan. As a consequence, in the second quarter of
        2005, 3M recorded a non-recurring charge of $75 million
        dollars, net of available foreign tax credits.

    (d) 3M adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
        123R effective Jan. 1, 2006, using the modified retrospective
        method, with prior periods adjusted to give effect to the
        fair-value-based method of accounting for stock option awards
        granted in fiscal years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 1995.
        The increase in option expense in the second quarter of 2006
        is largely due to a requirement under SFAS No. 123R to
        immediately expense stock options upon grant date for those
        employees who are considered retirement eligible. A 3M
        employee is considered to be retirement eligible upon reaching
        age 55 with 5 years of service. Approximately 25 percent of
        the number of stock-based compensation awards are made to
        retirement eligible employees. Since 3M's annual grant of
        stock options is in the second quarter, the immediate
        expensing of those options resulted in approximately $0.05 per
        share of higher stock-option expense in the second quarter of
        2006. The accounting rules related to the immediate expensing
        of grants to retirement eligible employees applied only to
        grants made after Jan. 1, 2006; therefore, the second quarter
        of 2005 was not impacted by this requirement.

    (e) In addition to disclosing results that are determined in
    accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
    (GAAP), the company also discloses non-GAAP results that exclude
    special items. Special items represent significant charges or
    credits that are important to an understanding of the company's
    ongoing operations. The company provides reconciliations of its
    non-GAAP financial reporting to the most comparable GAAP
    reporting. The company believes that discussion of results
    excluding special items provides a useful analysis of ongoing
    operating trends. Earnings per share and other amounts before
    special items are not measures recognized under GAAP. The
    determination of special items may not be comparable to similarly

    $74 million due to the combination of positive benefits from
    income tax adjustments, partially offset by settlement costs of a
    previously disclosed antitrust class action and costs related to
    the company's current efforts to seek strategic alternatives for
    its branded pharmaceuticals business.

    In the second quarter of 2005, 3M recorded a charge of $75
    million, net of available foreign tax credits, related to its
    plans to reinvest approximately $1.7 billion of foreign earnings
    in the United States pursuant to the provisions of the American
    Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

    (f) Refer to the preceding Note (d) for discussion of SFAS No.
    123R. Included in both reported and excluding special items
    results are stock options related costs of $0.07 per share in the
    second quarter of 2006 and $0.04 per share in the second quarter
    of 2005.

    (g) In addition to disclosing results that are determined in
    accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
    (GAAP), the company also discloses non-GAAP results that exclude
    special items. Special items represent significant charges or
    credits that are important to an understanding of the company's
    ongoing operations. The company provides reconciliations of its
    non-GAAP financial reporting to the most comparable GAAP
    reporting. The company believes that discussion of results
    excluding special items provides a useful analysis of ongoing
    operating trends. Earnings per share and other amounts before
    special items are not measures recognized under GAAP. The
    determination of special items may not be comparable to similarly
    titled measures used by other companies. Refer to the preceding
    Note (e) for discussion of the special items that impacted the six
    months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

OTHER NON-GAAP MEASURES:
Net Working Capital Turns (j)                             5.2     5.6

(i) Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). Therefore, it should not be considered a
substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other companies. The company defines free cash flow as net cash
provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and
equipment. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow
amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The company
believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and uses
this measure as an indication of the strength of the company and its
ability to generate cash.

(j) The company uses various working capital measures that place
emphasis and focus on certain working capital assets and liabilities.
3M's net working capital index is defined as quarterly net sales
multiplied by four, divided by ending net accounts receivable plus
inventory less accounts payable. This measure is not recognized under
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    (m) In addition to disclosing results that are determined in
    accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
    (GAAP), the company also discloses non-GAAP results that exclude
    special items. Special items represent significant charges or
    credits that are important to an understanding of the company's
    ongoing operations. The company provides reconciliations of its
    non-GAAP financial reporting to the most comparable GAAP reporting
    (reconciliations for the second and fourth quarter of 2005 were
    provided in Form 8-K's filed on July 18, 2005 and January 24,
    2006, respectively). The company believes that discussion of
    results excluding special items provides a useful analysis of
    ongoing operating trends. Earnings per share and other amounts
    before special items are not measures recognized under GAAP. The
    determination of special items may not be comparable to similarly
    titled measures used by other companies. Refer to the preceding
    Note (e) for discussion of the special items that impacted the
    three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. In March 2005, the FASB
    issued Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset
    Retirement Obligations--an interpretation of FASB Statement
    No.143" ("FIN 47"). In adopting FIN 47 in the fourth quarter of
    2005, 3M recorded a non-cash charge of $35 million after-tax, as a
    cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. This charge
    represents conditional retirement obligations associated with 3M's
    long-lived assets.
