Cardiovascular Portfolio The Cardiovascular Portfolio includes the Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure (CRHF), Structural Heart & Aortic (SHA), and Coronary & Peripheral Vascular (CPV) divisions. Revenue of $3.102 billion increased 6.1% as reported and 5.6% organic, with a high-single-digit increase in SHA and mid-single-digit increases in CRHF and CPV, all on an organic basis.
  • CRHF results included mid-single digit growth in Cardiac Rhythm Management, driven by high-single-digit growth in Defibrillation Solutions and Cardiac Pacing Therapies, including high-teens growth in Micra™ transcatheter pacing systems; Cardiac Ablation Solutions had flat results as strong growth of the PulseSelect™ pulsed field ablation (PFA) system offset declines in cryoablation
  • SHA results were 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
  • Launched Avalus Ultra™ surgical valve in Western Europe and VitalFlow™ Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) system in the U.S.
  • In September, Symplicity™ blood pressure procedure was named to the FORTUNE 2024 'Change the World' list.
  • Earlier this month, granted transitional pass-through (TPT) payment under the U.S. Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System beginning January 1, 2025, for Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation (RDN) catheter, used in the Symplicity™ blood pressure procedure.
Neuroscience Portfolio The Neuroscience Portfolio includes the Cranial & Spinal Technologies (CST), Specialty Therapies, and Neuromodulation divisions. 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 is 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
  • Speciality Therapies results were driven by mid-single digit growth in both Neurovascular, with continued strength in hemorrhagic stroke products, and Pelvic Health, on the 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(opens new window), part of the prestigious Nature Portfolio of journals
  • In September, expanded the AiBLE™ spine surgery ecosystem with new technologies and announced a partnership with Siemens Healthineers to co-market and integrate the Siemens Healthineers Multitom Rax™ imaging system.
Medical Surgical Portfolio The Medical Surgical Portfolio includes the Surgical & Endoscopy (SE) and the Acute Care & Monitoring (ACM) divisions. Revenue of $2.128 billion increased 1.2% as reported and increased 0.7% organic, with a 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 the prior year's 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 the Simplera Sync™ sensor.
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%. 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."
