• SHA results driven by high-single digit growth in Structural Heart, on the U.S. launch of the Evolut™ FX+ TAVR system, and low-double digit growth in Cardiac Surgery
• CPV delivered mid-single digit growth in both Coronary, with strength in guide catheters and balloons, and Peripheral Vascular Health
• Ramping commercial availability of the Affera™ Mapping and Ablation System and Sphere-9™ catheter following late October U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval
• Received CE Mark for Evolut™ FX+ TAVR system in late October; started commercial launch across Europe this month

Revenue of $2.451 billion increased 7.1% as reported and 6.7% organic, with a low-double digits increase in Neuromodulation and mid-single digit increases in both CST and Specialty Therapies, all on an organic basis.

• CST above market performance driven by continued adoption of the AiBLE™ ecosystem of spine implants and enabling technology, with mid-single digit growth in Core Spine and high-single digit growth in Biologics and Neurosurgery
• Specialty Therapies results driven by mid-single digit growth in both Neurovascular, with continued strength in hemorrhagic stroke products, and Pelvic Health, on continued adoption of the InterStim X™ system; ENT grew low-single digits on strength in capital placements
• Neuromodulation drove above market performance, with high-teens growth in Brain Modulation on the continued launch of the Percept™ RC deep brain stimulator (DBS) with BrainSense™ technology; Pain Therapies grew low-double digits, including low-double digit growth in U.S. Pain Stim on the continued launch of the Inceptiv™ spinal cord stimulator
• Medtronic pioneering ADAPT-PD clinical trial methods and preliminary data studying adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) published in September in npj Parkinson’s Disease, part of the prestigious Nature Portfolio of journals

Revenue of $2.128 billion increased 1.2% as reported and increased 0.7% organic, with low-single digit organic increase in ACM and flat organic result in SE. SE year-over-year results were affected by a difficult comparison from prior year supply recovery in Surgical and increased high-single digits sequentially.

• SE results included flat results in both Advanced Surgical Technologies, with strength in Advanced Energy, driven by continued adoption of the LigaSure™ Maryland XP vessel sealer, offsetting declines in Advanced Stapling; General Surgical Technologies grew low-single digits, with strength in Hernia and Wound Management products
• ACM performance included high-single digit growth in Nellcor™ Blood Oxygen Management products

Diabetes
Revenue of $686 million increased 12.4% as reported and 11.0% organic.

• U.S. revenue grew high-single digits on the continued adoption of the MiniMed™ 780G automated insulin delivery (AID) system
• International revenue grew low-double digits on increasing CGM attachment rates and the continued roll-out of Simplera Sync™ sensor
• In September, meta-analysis of 28 randomized control trials published in Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews concluded MiniMed™ 780G achieved highest time-in-range among seven commercial AID systems

Guidance
The company today raised its FY25 revenue growth and EPS guidance.

The company raised its FY25 organic revenue growth guidance to 4.75% to 5% versus the prior range of 4.5% to 5%. The organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency and revenue reported as Other. Including Other revenue and the impact of foreign currency exchange, if recent foreign currency exchange rates hold, FY25 revenue growth on an adjusted basis would be in the range of 3.4% to 3.9%.

The company raised its FY25 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance to the new range of $5.44 to $5.50 versus the prior $5.42 to $5.50. This includes an estimated -5% impact from foreign currency exchange based on recent rates, unchanged from the prior guidance. The company’s guidance represents FY25 diluted non-GAAP EPS growth in the range of 4.6% to 5.8%.

“We’re restoring our earnings power through our focus on underlying margin improvement, delivering another quarter of high-single digit constant currency adjusted EPS growth,” said Gary Corona, Medtronic interim chief financial officer. “And now, as the impact from foreign currency abates, we expect to report high-single digit adjusted EPS growth in the back half of our fiscal year, in line with our long-term commitment to deliver durable, mid-single digit organic revenue growth with EPS leverage.”
