• SE results were affected by ongoing stapling segment pressures and a transient change in U.S. distributor buying patterns, partially offset by high-single digit growth in Emerging Markets and high-single digit growth in Advanced Energy on continued adoption of LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology
• ACM performance included high-single digit declines in Nellcor™ blood oxygen management products on a 30% year-over-year market decline in U.S. respiratory-related hospitalizations in the quarter; this was partially offset by high-single digit growth in Perioperative Complications

Diabetes

Revenue of $694 million increased 8.4% as reported and 10.4% organic.

Guidance

Medtronic today reiterated its revenue growth and EPS guidance for FY25.

The company continues to expect FY25 organic revenue growth in the range of 4.75% 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 would be in the range of 3.4% to 3.8%.

The company continues to expect FY25 diluted non-GAAP EPS in the range of $5.44 to $5.50. This includes an estimated -5% impact from foreign currency exchange based on recent rates. The company's guidance represents FY25 diluted non-GAAP EPS growth in the range of 4.6% to 5.8%.

"EPS came in above the high end of our guidance range. We were pleased with the operational performance of the business this quarter, turning mid-single digit organic growth into leveraged earnings, highlighted by healthy gross margin improvement," said Gary Corona, Medtronic interim chief financial officer. "Looking ahead, our restored earnings power continues. We will accelerate both top and bottom line growth in Q4, resulting in high-single digit adjusted EPS growth in the back half of our fiscal year."
