Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present in this earnings press release certain financial measures that facilitate management's review of the operational performance of MiniMed and serve as a basis for strategic planning; however, such financial measures are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This includes Organic Revenue Growth. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and trends and may facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the medical technologies industry.

In particular, we believe that the use of Organic Revenue Growth is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management to assess the health of our business and our operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

In the tables included at the end of this earnings press release, a reconciliation is provided for each historical non-GAAP financial measure included in this release to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

MiniMed calculates forward-looking Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures, based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. MiniMed does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measure because certain items cannot be reasonably predicted without reasonable effort. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks related to competitive factors, difficulties and delays inherent in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of medical products, government regulation, geopolitical conflicts, changing global trade policies, general economic conditions, and other risks and uncertainties described in the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words or expressions, such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "looking ahead," "may," "plan," "possible," "potential," "project," "should," "going to," "will," and similar words or expressions, the negative or plural of such words or expressions and other comparable terminology. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. MiniMed does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or any of the information contained in this press release, including to reflect future events or circumstances.

(1)  Organic Revenue Growth measures revenue growth trends excluding the 
     impacts of foreign currency rate fluctuations and adjustments to 
     MiniMed's Italian payback accrual for certain prior years since 2015. We 
     use Organic Revenue Growth to assess our performance on a consistent 
     basis by removing the impacts of foreign currency rate fluctuations and 
     adjustments to the Italian payback accrual that we believe do not 
     directly reflect our underlying operations. The data in the schedules 
     above have been intentionally rounded to the nearest million and, 
     therefore, may not sum. Percentages have been calculated using actual, 
     non-rounded figures and, therefore, may not recalculate precisely. 
(2)  U.S. includes the United States and U.S. territories. International 
     includes all other non-U.S. countries. 
(3)  The three months ended July 31, 2026, excludes $14 million of revenue 
     adjustments related to favorable currency impact on net sales, and a $7 
     million benefit from Q1 FY26 related to the Italian payback accrual. The 
     currency impact to net sales measures the change in net sales between 
     current and prior year periods using constant exchange rates.
