# Solventum: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Solventum reports revenue across 4 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Med Surg is the largest, with $4.8 billion of revenue (58% of the total), followed by Health Information Systems at $1.4 billion (16%). 56% of revenue came from the United States.

## How Does Solventum Make Money?

No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Med Surg, is 58%, which spreads Solventum's exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Dental Solutions grew fastest (+4.2%) and Purification and Filtration slowest (-29.9%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Dental Solutions while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Med Surg | $4.8 billion | $4.6 billion | 57.9% | 3.9% |
| Health Information Systems | $1.4 billion | $1.3 billion | 16.3% | 4.1% |
| Dental Solutions | $1.3 billion | $1.3 billion | 16.2% | 4.2% |
| Purification and Filtration | $497 million | $709 million | 6.0% | -29.9% |

## Which Solventum Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Med Surg | $810 million | 16.8% |
| Health Information Systems | $496 million | 36.5% |
| Dental Solutions | $346 million | 25.6% |
| Purification and Filtration | $96 million | 19.3% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure Solventum reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within Solventum more safely than against another company.

## What Does Solventum Sell?

Solventum also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product | $6.3 billion | $6.3 billion | 76.3% | 0.0% |
| Cost of Software and Rentals | $2.0 billion | $1.9 billion | 23.7% | 3.7% |

## Where Does Solventum's Revenue Come From?

Regions follow the definitions in the filing; most companies assign revenue by customer location.

| Region | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | $4.7 billion | $4.6 billion | 56.1% | 2.4% |
| Outside the United States | $3.7 billion | $3.7 billion | 43.9% | -1.0% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 96% of Solventum's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Solventum reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 27, 2026 (accession 0001964738-26-000007), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
