(1) The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 resulted from the adoption of accounting guidance that requires the recognition of an allowance that reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of certain financial instruments and financial assets, including trade receivables. As a result of the adoption, the Company adjusted the opening balance of retained earnings for $24 million as of April 25, 2020.

Medtronic plc
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)



1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Medtronic plc and its subsidiaries (Medtronic plc, Medtronic, or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all the adjustments necessary for a fair statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
The Covid-19COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19" or the "pandemic") has had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, and its future impacts remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. While there was not a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended July 30, 2021,29, 2022, changes in the Company’s assessment about the length and severity of the pandemic, as well as other factors, could result in actual results differing from estimates.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medtronic plc, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts reported in millions within this quarterly report are computed based on the amounts in thousands, and therefore, the sum of the components may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. Additionally, certain columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.29, 2022. The Company’s fiscal years 2023, 2022, 2021, and 20202021 will end or ended on April 28, 2023, April 29, 2022, and April 30, 2021, and April 24, 2020, respectively. Fiscal year 2021 was a 53-week year, with the extra week having occurred in the first fiscal month of the first quarter.year.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
For the three months ended July 30, 2021,29, 2022, there were no newly adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. As of July 30, 2021,29, 2022, there are no recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements that are expected to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
The Company's revenues are principally derived from device-based medical therapies and services related to cardiac rhythm disorders, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, neurological disorders and diseases, spinal conditions and musculoskeletal trauma, chronic pain, urological and digestive disorders, ear, nose, and throat conditions, and diabetes conditions as well as advanced and general surgical care products, respiratory and monitoring solutions, and neurological surgery technologies.

Based upon preliminary valuations, assets acquired were primarily comprised of $66 million of goodwill and $57 million of technology-based intangible assets with estimated useful lives of 16 years. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The Company recognized $73 million of contingent consideration liabilities in fiscal year 2020.connection with these acquisitions during the three months ended July 29, 2022, which are comprised of revenue and regulatory milestone-based payments.
Subsequent Acquisitions
Subsequent to July 29, 2022, on August 30, 2022 the Company acquired Affera, Inc. (Affera) a privately-held manufacturer of cardiac mapping and navigation systems and catheter-based cardiac ablation technologies. The acquisition expands the Cardiovascular segment portfolio of advanced cardiac ablation products and accessories to include its first cardiac mapping and navigation platform to meet physician needs within a growing patient population. Total consideration for the transaction is up to $1.0 billion, including up to $250 million of undiscounted contingent consideration related to certain technical and regulatory milestones. The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. This requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
Due to the limited amount of time since the acquisition date and the significant limitations on access to Affera information prior to the acquisition date, the preliminary acquisition valuation for the business combination is incomplete at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the information required for valuation of intangible assets and goodwill. We will include such disclosures in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending October 28, 2022.

Contingent Consideration
Certain of the Company’s business combinations involve potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain product development milestones and/or contingent on the acquired business reaching certain performance milestones. A liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within other operating expense, (income), net in the consolidated statements of income. Contingent consideration payments made soon after the acquisition date are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Contingent consideration payments not made soon after the acquisition date that are related to the acquisition date fair value are reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and amounts paid in excess of the original acquisition date fair value are reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The fair value of contingent consideration at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 202129, 2022 was $294$193 million and $270$119 million, respectively.

Equity Securities, Equity Method Investments, and Other Investments
The Company holds investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values, equity investments without readily determinable fair values, investments accounted for under the equity method, and other investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are measured using quoted market prices. Equity method investments and investments without readily determinable fair values are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. To determine the fair value of these investments, the Company uses all pertinent financial information available related to the investees, including financial statements, market participant valuations from recent and proposed equity offerings, and other third-party data.
The following table summarizes the Company's equity and other investments at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, which are classified as other assets in the consolidated balance sheets:

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
At July 30, 2021,29, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was $29.2$20.1 billion compared to a principal value of $26.1$21.1 billion. At April 30, 2021,29, 2022, the estimated fair value was $28.6$22.9 billion compared to a principal value of $26.5$24.2 billion. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the publicly registered Senior Notes, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values and principal values consider the terms of the related debt and exclude the impacts of debt discounts and hedging activity.
8. Derivatives and Currency Exchange Risk Management
The Company uses operational and economic hedges, including currency exchange rate derivative contracts and interest rate derivative instruments, to manage the impact of currency exchange and interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. In addition, the Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps to manage currency risk related to certain debt. In order to minimize earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from currency exchange rate changes, the Company enters into derivative instruments, principally forward currency exchange rate contracts. These contracts are designed to hedge anticipated foreign currency transactions and changes in the value of specific assets and liabilities. At inception of the contract, the derivative is designated as either a freestanding derivative or a cash flow hedge. Currencies of our derivative instruments include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, and others. The Company does not enter into currency exchange rate derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The gross notional amount of all currency exchange rate derivative instruments outstanding was $15.0$17.7 billion and $14.7$13.8 billion at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, respectively.
The Company also uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage the impact of currency exchange rate changes on net investments in foreign currency-denominated operations. The information that follows explains the various types of derivatives and financial instruments used by the Company, reasons the Company uses such instruments, and the impact such instruments have on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.
Freestanding Derivative Contracts
Freestanding derivative contracts are primarily used to offset the Company’s exposure to the change in value of specific foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities, and to offset variability of cash flows associated with forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The gross notional amount of the Company's freestanding currency exchange rate contracts outstanding at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 202129, 2022 was $5.2$5.1 billion and $5.7$4.9 billion, respectively. The Company's freestanding currency exchange rate contracts are not designated as hedges, and therefore, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related change in value of foreign-currency-denominated assets, liabilities, and cash flows.
The Company also uses total return swaps to hedge the liability of a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The gross notional amount of the Company's total return swaps outstanding at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 202129, 2022 was $235$212 million and $243$226 million, respectively. The Company's total return swaps are not designated as hedges, and therefore, changes in the value of these instruments are recognized in

Cash Flow Hedges
Forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are designed to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency that will take place in the future. The gross notional amount of these contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, outstanding at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 202129, 2022 was $9.8$8.1 billion and $9.0$8.8 billion, respectively, and will mature within the subsequent three-year period. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reclassified into earnings and is included in other operating expense, (income), net or cost of products sold in the consolidated statements of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts excluded from the measurement of hedge effectiveness are recognized in earnings in the current period. The cash flows related to all of the Company's derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. No components of the hedge contracts were excluded in the measurement of hedge effectiveness, and no forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were derecognized or discontinued during the three months ended July 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020.

Forecasted Debt Issuance Interest Rate Risk
Forward starting interest rate derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are designed to manage the exposure to interest rate volatility with regard to future issuances of fixed-rate debt. The gains or losses on forward starting interest rate derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Beginning in the period in which the planned debt issuance occurs and the related derivative instruments are terminated, the gains or losses are then reclassified into interest expense over the term of the related debt. For the three months ended July 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the reclassifications of net (gains) losses on forward starting interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense were not significant.

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually asAs a result of the first day ofagreement with DaVita, as disclosed in Note 4 to the third quarter ofconsolidated financial statements, the fiscal year and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The test for impairmentCompany allocated $208 million of goodwill requiresto the RCS business that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Upon allocation, a goodwill impairment test was performed for the RCS business, and the Company to make several estimates about fair value, mostrecognized $61 million of which are based on projected future cash flows. The Company calculates the excess of each reporting unit's fair value over its carrying amount, including goodwill, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. Internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans are used as a basis for the cash flow analysis. The Company also utilizes assumptions for working capital, capital expenditures, and terminal growth rates. The discount rate applied to the cash flow analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") for each reporting unit. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit's net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment during the three months ended July 29, 2022. The goodwill impairment charges are recognized in other operating expense, net in the consolidated statements of income. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairments during the three months ended July 30, 2021 or July 31, 2020.2021.

11. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended July 30, 202129, 2022 was 7.7 percent,10.7%, as compared to 15.9 percent7.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2020.30, 2021. The decreaseincrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year,29, 2022, was primarily due to the tax impact of the MCS charges and year-over-year changes in operational results by jurisdictionthe three months ended July 30, 2021, partially offset by a $39 million charge in the three months ended July 30, 2021 related to a change in the Company's permanent reinvestment assertion on certain historical earnings. The increase was also partially offset by a $25 million benefit in the three months ended July 29, 2022 related to a valuation allowance release associated with certain carryover attributes due to the anticipated RCS transaction, as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
At both July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits were $1.7 billion. In addition, the Company had accrued gross interest and penalties of $104$123 million at July 30, 2021.29, 2022. If all of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, approximately $1.6 billion would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. At July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, the amount of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits, net of cash advance, recorded as a noncurrent liability within accrued income taxes on the consolidated balance sheets was $810$889 million and $809$802 million, respectively. The increase in the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits, net of cash advance, was primarily due to the decrease in advance payments available to offset unrecognized tax benefits. The

Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters within income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income and records the liability within either current or noncurrent accrued income taxes on the consolidated balance sheets.
Subsequent to the quarter close on July 29, 2022, on August 18, 2022 the U.S. Tax Court (Tax Court) issued its opinion on the previously disclosed litigation regarding the allocation of income between Medtronic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 (Opinion). While the Opinion rejected the IRS’s position and the Tax Court determined the methodology advanced by Medtronic was appropriate for purposes of determining the intercompany royalty rate between Puerto Rico and the U.S., it determined that the royalty rate should be higher, thereby increasing income allocated to the U.S. and consequently subject to U.S. tax. This case relates only to fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The Opinion remains subject to finalization by the Tax Court and to appeal by either or both parties. At this time, the Company is evaluating the impact of the Opinion and whether the Company will appeal. If the Opinion is finalized as is, without appeal by either party, the Company anticipates the findings will likely be applied for all years following fiscal year 2006. Under this potential scenario, the Company has currently estimated a potential income tax charge, including interest, of up to $2.0 billion.
Refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the status of current tax audits and proceedings.
12. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, as the Company's A Preferred Shares are considered participating securities. Accordingly, earnings are allocated to both ordinary shares and participating securities in determining earnings per ordinary share. Due to the limited number of A Preferred Shares outstanding, this allocation had no effect on the ordinary earnings per share; therefore, it is not presented below. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive ordinary shares been issued, and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased with the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive ordinary shares include stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan.
The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

proceedings and investigations, including those described below. With respect to governmental proceedings and investigations, like other companies in our industry, the Company is subject to extensive regulation by national, state, and local governmental agencies in the United States and in other jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate. As a result, interaction with governmental agencies is ongoing. The Company’s standard practice is to cooperate with regulators and investigators in responding to inquiries. The outcomes of legal actions are not within the Company’s complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the enforcement agencies or private claimants seek damages, as well as other civil or criminal remedies (including injunctions barring the sale of products that are the subject of the proceeding), that could require significant expenditures, result in lost revenues, or limit the Company's ability to conduct business in the applicable jurisdictions.

The Company records a liability in the consolidated financial statements on an undiscounted basis for loss contingencies related to legal actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount may be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages with incomplete scientific facts or legal discovery, involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages, potentially involve penalties, fines or punitive damages, or could result in a change in business practice. The Company classifies certain specified litigation charges and gains related to significant legal matters as certain litigation charges. Duringcharges in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recognized no certain litigation charges during the three months ended July 30, 2021,29, 2022, whereas the Company recognized $26 million of certain litigation charges.

At July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, accrued litigation was approximately $0.3 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively.billion. The ultimate cost to the Company with respect to accrued litigation could be materially different than the amount of the current estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows. The Company includes accrued litigation in other accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. While it is not possible to predict the outcome for most of the legal matters discussed below, the Company believes it is possible that the costs associated with these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows.

Product Liability Matters
Pelvic Mesh Litigation
The Company is currently involved in litigation in various state and federal courts against manufacturers of pelvic mesh products alleging personal injuries resulting from the implantation of those products. NaNTwo subsidiaries of Covidien supplied pelvic mesh products to 1one of the manufacturers, C.R. Bard (Bard), named in the litigation. The litigation includes a federal multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia and cases in various state courts and jurisdictions outside the U.S. Generally, complaints allege design and manufacturing claims, failure to warn, breach of warranty, fraud, violations of state consumer protection laws and loss of consortium claims. In fiscal year 2016, Bard paid the Company $121 million towards the settlement of 11,000 of these claims.In May 2017, the agreement with Bard was amended to extend the terms to apply to up to an additional 5,000 claims. That agreement does not resolve the dispute between the Company and Bard with respect to claims that do not settle, if any. As part of the agreement, the Company and Bard agreed to dismiss without prejudice their pending litigation with respect to Bard’s obligation to defend and indemnify the Company. The Company estimates law firms representing approximately 16,200 claimants have asserted or may assert claims involving products manufactured by Covidien’s subsidiaries. As of August 4, 2021,3, 2022, the Company had reached agreements to settle approximately 15,900 of these claims. The Company's accrued expenses for this matter are included within accrued litigation as discussed above.

Hernia Mesh Litigation

The majorityAs of August 10, 2022, subsidiaries of the pendingCompany have been named as defendants in lawsuits filed on behalf of approximately 6,050 individual plaintiffs, and certain plaintiffs’ law firms have advised the Company that they may file additional cases arein the future.

The Company has not recorded an expense related to damages in connection with these matters because any potential loss is not currently probable orand reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP.estimable. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

Patent Litigation
Sasso
The Company is involved in litigation in Indiana relating to certain patent and royalty disputes with Dr. Sasso under agreements originally entered into in 1999 and 2001. On November 28, 2018, a jury in Indiana state court returned a verdict against the Company for approximately $112 million.On June 15, 2021, pursuant to an order from the state court, the Company paid the judgment plus accrued interest to Dr. Sasso, subject to repayment if the Company's ongoing appeal is successful.

Environmental Proceedings
The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including removal of solvents, metals and other hazardous substances from soil and groundwater. The ultimate cost of site cleanup and timing of future cash flows is difficult to predict given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods.

The Company is a successor to a company which owned and operated a chemical manufacturing facility in Orrington, Maine from 1967 until 1982, and is responsible for the costs of completing an environmental site investigation as required by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP). MDEP served a compliance order on Mallinckrodt LLC and U.S. Surgical Corporation, subsidiaries of Covidien, in December 2008, which included a directive to remove a significant volume of soils at the site. After a hearing on the compliance order before the Maine Board of Environmental Protection (Maine Board) to challenge the terms of the compliance order, the Maine Board modified the MDEP order and issued a final order requiring removal of 2two landfills, capping of the remaining 3three landfills, installation of a groundwater extraction system and long-term monitoring of the site and the 3three remaining landfills.

The Company has proceeded with implementation of the investigation and remediation at the site in accordance with the MDEP order as modified by the Maine Board order.

Since the early 2000s, the Company or its predecessors have also been involved in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Maine People’s Alliance. Plaintiffs sought an injunction requiring the Company's predecessor to conduct extensive studies of mercury contamination of the Penobscot River and Bay and options for remediating such contamination, and to perform appropriate remedial activities, if necessary.

Following a trial in March 2002, the Courtcourt held that conditions in the Penobscot River and Bay may pose an imminent and substantial endangerment and that the Company’s predecessor was liable for the cost of performing a study of the River and Bay. Following a second trial in June 2014, the Courtcourt ordered that further engineering study and engineering design work was needed to determine the nature and extent of remediation in the Penobscot River and Bay. The Courtcourt also appointed an engineering firm to conduct such studies and issue a report on potential remediation alternatives. In connection with these proceedings, reports have been produced including a variety of cost estimates for a variety of potential remedial options. In March 2021, the parties notified the Courtcourt that they had agreed on a settlement in principle of all issues in this matter. Finalization of the proposed settlement remains subject to a fairness hearing and Courtcourt approval.

The Company's accrued expenses for environmental proceedings are included within accrued litigation as discussed above.

Income Taxes
In March 2009, the IRS issued its audit report on Medtronic, Inc. for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Medtronic, Inc. reached agreement with the IRS on some, but not all matters related to these fiscal years. The remaining unresolved issue for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 relates to the allocation of income between Medtronic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico, which is one of the Company's key manufacturing sites. The U.S. Tax Court reviewed this dispute, and onin June 9, 2016, issued itsan opinion with respect to the allocation of income between the parties for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The U.S. Tax Court2006 whereby it generally rejected the IRS’s position, but also made certain modifications to the Medtronic, Inc. tax returns as filed.

Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company and/or its affiliates periodically enter into agreements that require one or more of the Company and/or its affiliates to indemnify customers or suppliers for specific risks, such as claims for injury or property damage arising as a result of the Company or its affiliates’ products, the negligence of the Company's personnel, or claims alleging that the Company's products infringe on third-party patents or other intellectual property. The Company also offers warranties on various products. The Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees is unable to be estimated. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses on these types of guarantees.
The Company believes the ultimate resolution of the above guarantees is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows.
17. Segment and Geographic Information
Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. Net sales of the Company's reportable segments include end-customer revenues from the sale of products the segment develops, manufactures, and distributes. There are certain corporate and centralized expenses that are not allocated to the segments.
The Company’s management evaluates performance of the segments and allocates resources based on net sales and segment operating profit. Segment operating profit represents income before income taxes, excluding interest expense, amortization of intangible assets, centralized distribution costs, non-operating income or expense items, certain corporate charges, and other items not allocated to the segments.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.29, 2022. Certain depreciable assets may be recorded by one segment, while the depreciation expense is allocated to another segment. The allocation of depreciation expense is based on the proportion of the assets used by each segment.
Effective February 1, 2021, the Company implemented a new operating model, moving from a Group structure to a Portfolio structure: Cardiovascular Portfolio (formerly Cardiac and Vascular Group), Neuroscience Portfolio (formerly Restorative Therapies Group), and Medical Surgical Portfolio (formerly Minimally Invasive Therapies Group).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
UNDERSTANDING OUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of Medtronic plc and its subsidiaries (Medtronic plc, Medtronic, or the Company, or we, us, or our). For a full understanding of financial condition and results of operations, you should read this discussion along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.29, 2022. In addition, you should read this discussion along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto at and for the three months ended July 30, 2021.29, 2022. Amounts reported in millions within this quarterly report are computed based on the amounts in thousands, and therefore, the sum of the components may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. Additionally, certain columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.
Financial Trends
Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we present certain financial measures that we use to evaluatefacilitate management's review of the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning; however, such financial measures are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP). These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We generally use non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company's underlying operational performance and trends and may facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the medical technologies industry.
As presented in the GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below, our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain charges or benefits that contribute to or reduce earnings and that may affect financial trends and include certain charges or benefits that result from transactions or events that we believe may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to our operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments).
In the event there is a Non-GAAP Adjustment recognized in our operating results, the tax cost or benefit attributable to that item is separately calculated and reported. Because the effective rate can be significantly impacted by the Non-GAAP Adjustments that take place during the period, we often refer to our tax rate using both the effective rate and the non-GAAP nominal tax rate (Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate). The Non-GAAP Nominal Tax Rate is calculated as the income tax provision, adjusted for the impact of Non-GAAP Adjustments, as a percentage of income before income taxes, excluding Non-GAAP Adjustments.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting property, plant, and equipment additions from operating cash flows.
Refer to the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations," "Income Taxes," and "Free Cash Flow" sections for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

While mostSeveral of our businesses werecontinued to be affected by a declinethe pandemic, including the most recent COVID-19 lockdowns in globalChina which began in late March and continued through the end of May, and the impacts of healthcare system staffing shortages on procedural volumes during fiscal year 2021, particularly involumes. In addition to the first and second quarters,impacts of the pandemic, certain businesses continue to be impacted by supply chain disruptions that began during the firstfourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 most of our businesses performed at or above pre-COVID-19 levels. At the same time, we did experience a slowdown in elective procedures in certain businesses and geographies, including some areas of the U.S. during the last few weeks of July as a result of the Delta variant of COVID-19. While we believe the impact of the Delta variant may be less severe than prior waves of COVID-19 as healthcare systems are more prepared and vaccination rates continue to rise, we2022. We cannot predict with confidence the duration and severity of the pandemic and its impact on global procedure volumes. We expect medical procedure rates tomay continue to vary by therapy and country and to be impacted by regional COVID-19 case volumes, vaccine and booster immunization rates, and new COVID-19 variants. Additionally, we cannot predict the impact further healthcare system staffing shortages will have on procedural volumes, and the continued impact supply chain disruptions will have on the business.

Subsequent to the quarter close on July 29, 2022, on August 18, 2022 the U.S. Tax Court (Tax Court) issued its opinion on the previously disclosed litigation regarding the allocation of income between Medtronic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 (Opinion). While the Opinion rejected the IRS’s position and the Tax Court determined the methodology advanced by Medtronic was appropriate for purposes of determining the intercompany royalty rate between Puerto Rico and the U.S., it determined that the royalty rate should be higher, thereby increasing income allocated to the U.S. and consequently subject to U.S. tax. This case relates only to fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The Opinion remains subject to finalization by the Tax Court and to appeal by either or both parties. At this time, the Company is evaluating the impact of the Opinion and whether the Company will appeal. If the Opinion is finalized as is, without appeal by either party, the Company anticipates the findings will likely be applied for all years following fiscal year 2006. Under this potential scenario, the Company has currently estimated a potential income tax charge, including interest, of up to $2.0 billion, which would result in a future cash payment of up to $2.5 billion and no material impact to the Company’s tax rate going forward. The impact of this potential scenario was contemplated in the Company's fiscal year 2023 adjusted earnings per share guidance reiterated on August 23, 2022.

Operating Activities The $1.0 billion increase$209 million decrease in net cash provided was primarily driven by an increasea decrease in cash collected from customers, partially offset by an increasea decrease in cash paid for income taxes and cash paid to employees. The increasedecrease in cash collected from customers was primarily related to COVID-19 driving decreasedsupply chain challenges, which caused lower net sales as compared to the corresponding period in the fourth quarter ofprior fiscal year 2020 and first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The increase in cash paid for income taxes in the three months ended July 30, 2021 was primarily due to a tax payment associated with a foreign audit settlement.year. Cash paid to employees increaseddecreased due to higherlower annual incentive plan payouts for prior year performance compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.
Investing ActivitiesThe $792$801 million increase in net cash used was primarily attributable to an increasecash paid for acquisitions of $1.2 billion, partially offset by a decrease in net purchases of investments of $688$332 million, during the three months ended July 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. For more information on the aforementioned acquisitions, refer to Note 4to the current's period's consolidated financial statements.
Financing Activities The $3.0 billion increaseThere was a $105 million decrease in net cash used was largelyduring the result ofthree months ended July 29, 2022, as compared to the Mizuho Bank term loan under which the Company borrowed $2.8 billioncorresponding period in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. In the current period, the Company issued short-term borrowings of approximately $2.3 billion under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement and used the proceeds to fund the early redemption of senior notes for total consideration of $2.3 billion. Also contributing to the total change was the decrease in share issuances of $68 million and increase in cash used was the increase in net cash used for share repurchasesdividends paid of $315$57 million.

Debt and Capital
Our capital structure consists of equity and interest-bearing debt. We primarily utilize unsecured senior debt obligations to meet our financing needs and, to a lesser extent, bank borrowings. From time to time, we may repurchase our outstanding debt obligations in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
Total debt at July 30, 202129, 2022 was $26.0$23.2 billion as compared to $26.4$24.1 billion at April 30, 2021.29, 2022. The decrease in total debt was driven by fluctuations in exchangesexchange rates as it pertains to our Euro-denominated senior notes.
On May 2, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. for an aggregate principal amount of up to ¥300 billion with a term of 364 days. In May and June 2022, Medtronic Luxco borrowed an aggregate of ¥297 billion, or approximately $2.3 billion, of the term loan, under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds of the borrowings to fund the early redemption of $1.9 billion of Medtronic Inc. Senior Notes for $1.9 billion of total consideration, and $368 million of Medtronic Luxco Senior Notes for $376 million of total consideration. The Company recognized a total loss on debt extinguishment of $53 million in the quarter ended July 29, 2022, which primarily includes cash premiums and accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiums. The loss was recognized in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

We repurchase our ordinary shares from time to timeon occasion as part of our focus on returning value to our shareholders. In March 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $6.0 billion of the Company's ordinary shares. There is no specific time period associated with these repurchase authorizations. During the three months ended July 30, 2021,29, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 23 million shares under this program at an average price of $126.23.$96.48. At July 30, 2021,29, 2022, we had approximately $5.1$2.6 billion remaining under the share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors.
For more information on credit arrangements, refer to Note 7 to the current period's consolidated financial statements and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.29, 2022.
Liquidity
Our liquidity sources at July 30, 202129, 2022 included $3.0$2.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $7.6$6.7 billion of current investments. Additionally, we maintain a commercial paper program (no commercial paper outstanding at July 30, 2021)programs and a Credit Facility.
45


Our investments primarily include available-for-sale debt securities, including U.S. and non-U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, certificates of deposits, and other asset-backed securities. Refer to Note 6 to the current period's consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements.
We maintain multicurrency commercial paper programs for short-term financing, which allow us to issue unsecured commercial paper notes on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $3.5 billion. At both July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, we had no commercial paper outstanding. The issuance of commercial paper reduces the amount of credit available under our existing line of credit, as explained below.
We also have a $3.5 billion five-year syndicated credit facility (Credit Facility), which expires in December 2025.2026. At each anniversary date of the Credit Facility we can request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The Credit Facility provides backup funding for the commercial paper programs and may also be used for general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility provides us with the ability to increase our borrowing capacity by an additional $1.0 billion at any time during the term of the agreement. At each anniversary date of the Credit Facility, but not more than twice prior to the maturity date, we could also request a one-year extension of the maturity date. At July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 2021,29, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Interest rates on advances of our Credit Facility are determined by a pricing matrix based on our long-term debt ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody’s). Facility fees are payable on the Credit Facility and are determined in the same manner as the interest rates. We are in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility.

The following table is a summary of our S&P and Moody's long-term debt ratings and short-term debt ratings:
Agency Rating(1)
July 30, 202129, 2022April 30, 202129, 2022

(1) Agency ratings are subject to change, and there may be no assurance that an agency will continue to provide ratings and/or maintain its current ratings. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agency, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

S&P and Moody's long-term debt ratings and short-term debt ratings at July 30, 202129, 2022 were unchanged as compared to the ratings at April 30, 2021.29, 2022. We do not expect the S&P and Moody's ratings to have a significant impact on our liquidity or future flexibility to access additional liquidity given our balance sheet, Credit Facility, and related commercial paper programs.
We have future contractual obligations and other minimum commercial commitments that are entered into in the normal course of business. We believe our off-balance sheet arrangements do not have a material current or anticipated future effect on our consolidated earnings, financial position, and/or cash flows. There have been no material changes to our long-term contractual obligations as reported in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.29, 2022.
ACQUISITIONS
Intersect ENT Pending Acquisition

On August 6, 2021, Medtronic and Intersect ENT entered into a definitive agreement in which Medtronic will acquire all outstanding shares of Intersect ENT for $28.25 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.1 billion. The acquisition is expected to close toward the end of fiscal year 2022 pending clearance of anti-trust filings, approval by Intersect ENT’s stockholders, and other closing conditions.
Additional informationInformation regarding acquisitions is included in Note 4 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

29, 2022.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates reflect our best judgment about economic and market conditions and the potential effects on the valuation and/or carrying value of assets and liabilities based upon relevant information available. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
As of July 30, 2021,29, 2022, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
Due to the global nature of our operations, we are exposed to currency exchange rate changes, which may cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows. We use operational and economic hedges, including currency exchange rate derivative instruments to manage the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. In order to minimize earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from currency exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into derivative instruments, principally forward currency exchange rate contracts. These contracts are designed to hedge anticipated transactions in other currencies and changes in the value of specific assets and liabilities. At inception of the contract, the derivative instrument is designated as either a freestanding derivative or a cash flow hedge. Currencies of our derivative instruments include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, and others. Fluctuations in the currency exchange rates of currency exposures that are unhedged, such as in certain emerging markets, may result in future earnings and cash flow volatility. We do not enter into currency exchange rate derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
The gross notional amount of all currency exchange rate derivative instruments outstanding at July 30, 202129, 2022 and April 30, 202129, 2022 was $15.0$17.7 billion and $14.7$13.8 billion, respectively. At July 30, 2021,29, 2022, these contracts were in a net unrealized lossgain position of $35$854 million. Additional information regarding our currency exchange rate derivative instruments is included in Note 8 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

A sensitivity analysis of changes in the fair value of all currency exchange rate derivative contracts at July 30, 202129, 2022 indicates that, if the U.S. dollar
50


uniformly strengthened/weakened by 10 percent against all currencies, it would have the following impact on the fair value of these contracts:
Increase (decrease)
(in millions)July 30, 202129, 2022
10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar$1,095391 
10% depreciation in the U.S. dollar(1,095)(391)

Any gains and losses on the fair value of derivative contracts would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying transactions. These offsetting gains and losses are not reflected in the above analysis.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, we began accounting for our operations in Argentina as highly inflationary, as the prior three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100 percent. The change did not have a material impact on our results for the three months ended July 30, 2021.
INTEREST RATE RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk on our short-term investments and our borrowings. We manage interest rate risk in the aggregate, while focusing on our immediate and intermediate liquidity needs. Our debt portfolio at July 30, 202129, 2022 was comprised of debt predominatelypredominantly denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, and Euros,Yen, of which substantially all is fixed rate debt. We are also exposed to interest rate changes affecting our investments in interest rate sensitive instruments, which include our marketable debt securities.
A sensitivity analysis of the impact on our interest rate-sensitive financial instruments of a hypothetical 10 basis point change in interest rates, as compared to interest rates at July 30, 2021,29, 2022, would have the following impact on the fair value of these instruments:
Increase (decrease)
(in millions)July 30, 202129, 2022
10 basis point increase in interest rates$1955 
10 basis point decrease in interest rates(19)(55)

For a discussion of current market conditions and the impact on our financial condition and results of operations, please see the “Liquidity” section of the current period's Management's Discussion and Analysis. For additional discussion of market risk, refer to Notes 6 and 8 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) and changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company has not experienced any material impacts to its internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of its employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In August 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an updated ruling regarding theaccordance with Item 103 of Regulation S-K, we have adopted a $1 million disclosure threshold for disclosure of proceedings under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party. In accordance with this updated ruling, we have adopted a disclosure threshold of $1 million in such circumstances,party, as we believe matters under this threshold are not material to the Company. A discussion of the Company’s policies with respect to legal proceedings is included in the management’s discussion and analysis, and our legal proceedings and other loss contingencies are described in Note 16 to the current period's consolidated financial statements.

Item 5. Other Information
Medtronic has engaged in certain activities that it is required to disclose pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The activities described herein are expressly authorized by the U.S. Government under applicable economic sanctions regulations.Not applicable.
Specifically, Medtronic’s affiliate in Russia, Medtronic Russia LLC (“Medtronic Russia”), is required under Russian law to complete certain notification and filing requirements to Russia’s Federal Security Service (“FSB”) regarding certain Medtronic medical devices that make use of encryption functionality that are imported into Russia. While the FSB has been included on the Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) List administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), these activities are and remain authorized. In particular, Cyber General License No. 1B (“Cyber GL 1B”), issued by OFAC, authorizes all transactions ordinarily incident to obtaining such permits from the FSB, provided that certain conditions are met.
51
Historically, Medtronic has not been required to disclose these lawful dealings with the FSB. However, on March 2, 2021, OFAC designated the FSB pursuant to an additional sanctions authority. While OFAC amended the applicable general license to confirm that all previously authorized dealings with the FSB remain authorized (notwithstanding the additional designation), the designation of the FSB with a [NPWMD] tag pursuant to Executive Order 13382 means that Medtronic is required under Section 13(r)(1)(D)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act to disclose certain information as a result of this additional designation, as Section 13(r)(1)(D)(ii) does not contain an exception from its reporting requirements for activities that are authorized by the U.S. Government.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, in the normal course of business and consistent with the authorization of Cyber GL 1B, Medtronic Russia filed four notifications with the FSB, as required under local Russian law for the import of medical devices that make use of encryption functionality. These activities did not directly result in any revenues or profits for Medtronic. Medtronic intends to continue engaging in activities for which it is authorized by Cyber GL 1B (or any successor GL), to the extent necessary to comply with local law requirements in Russia.
