Financial Results
Medtronic reported Q1 worldwide revenue of $7.702 billion, an increase of 4.5% as reported and 6.0% on an organic basis. The company’s organic revenue results reflect broad strength across businesses and geographies, driven by execution, innovation, and improved underlying fundamentals.

- The unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of $43 million on the remaining segments.
As reported, Q1 GAAP net income and diluted EPS were $791 million and $0.59, respectively, representing decreases of 15% and 16%, respectively. As detailed in the financial schedules included at the end of this release, Q1 non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS were $1.596 billion and $1.20, respectively, both representing increases of 6%. Included in non-GAAP diluted EPS was an 8 cent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, a 2 cent improvement from what was projected from May rates.
“We are pleased with the strong start to our fiscal year. We executed and delivered another quarter of mid-single digit revenue growth. Our solid results were broad-based, with each of our four segments delivering 6% organic revenue growth,” said Geoff Martha, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. “We also continue to make great strides on our comprehensive transformation designed to ensure durable growth and create value for shareholders.”

Revenue of $2.039 billion increased 5.5% as reported and 6.1% organic, with a high-single digit organic increase in SE and mid-single digit organic increase in PMRI.
- SE results driven by high-single digit growth in Advanced Surgical Technologies and mid-single digit growth in Endoscopy on continued supply improvement

Diabetes
Diabetes revenue of $578 million increased 6.8% as reported and 6.3% organic.

- U.S. launch of MiniMed™ 780G system off to great start, resulting in low-30’s growth in U.S. durable pump sales
- High-single digit U.S. declines resulted from decreases in CGM and consumable sales given installed base attrition versus the prior year; expected to improve with growth in installed base
- Coverage secured for MiniMed 780G™ system with Guardian™ 4 sensor for over 95% of U.S. population, including expanded access for Medicare beneficiaries in July
- Several clinical and real-world datasets studying the MiniMed™ 780G system with proprietary Meal Detection™ technology presented at American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions in June; showed Time in Range outcomes exceed consensus guidelines and reduction of time spent in hyperglycemia in children and adults
Guidance
The company today raised its FY24 revenue growth and EPS guidance.
The company increased its FY24 organic revenue growth guidance to 4.5% versus the prior range of 4.0% to 4.5%. The organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency and revenue related to certain businesses reported as Other. If foreign currency exchange rates as of the beginning of August hold, FY24 revenue growth on a reported basis would be approximately 2.75%.
The company increased its FY24 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance from the prior range of $5.00 to $5.10 to the new range of $5.08 to $5.16, a 7 cent increase at the midpoint, inline with the company’s operational EPS outperformance in the first quarter.
“Our revenue outperformance and focus on expense management drove operating margin expansion and mid-single digit adjusted earnings growth this quarter,” said Karen Parkhill, Medtronic EVP & chief financial officer. “Given our first quarter performance, including a 7 cent operational beat on the bottom line, and improved fundamentals, we’re raising our full year organic revenue growth and EPS guidance.”
