Fair Value Hedges:
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivatives as well
as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings.
Fair Value Hedging - Interest Rate Swaps: The Company manages interest expense using a mix of fixed and floating rate
debt. To help manage borrowing costs, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps. Under these arrangements, the
Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated
by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. The mark-to-market of these fair value hedges is recorded as
gains or losses in interest expense and is offset by the gain or loss of the underlying debt instrument, which also is
recorded in interest expense. These fair value hedges are highly effective and, thus, there is no impact on earnings due to
hedge ineffectiveness. The dollar equivalent (based on inception date foreign currency exchange rates) gross notional
amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps at December 31, 2014, was $1 billion.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of underlying fixed rate
obligations. In July 2007, in connection with the issuance of a seven-year Eurobond for an amount of 750 million Euros,
the Company completed a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on a notional amount of 400 million Euros as a fair value
hedge of a portion of the fixed interest rate Eurobond obligation. In August 2010, the Company terminated 150 million
Euros of the notional amount of this swap. As a result, a gain of 18 million Euros, recorded as part of the balance of the
underlying debt, was amortized as an offset to interest expense over this debt’s remaining life. Prior to termination of the
applicable portion of the interest rate swap, the mark-to-market of the hedge instrument was recorded as gains or losses
in interest expense and was offset by the gain or loss on carrying value of the underlying debt instrument. Consequently,
the subsequent amortization of the 18 million Euros recorded as part of the underlying debt balance was not part of gains
on hedged items recognized in income in the tables below. The remaining interest rate swap of 250 million Euros (notional
amount) matured in July 2014.
In November 2013, 3M issued an eight-year 1.875% fixed rate Eurobond for a face amount of 600 million Euros. Upon
debt issuance, 3M completed a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on a notional amount of 300 million Euros as a fair
value hedge of a portion of the fixed interest rate Eurobond obligation.
In June 2014, 3M issued a five-year 1.625% fixed rate medium-term note for a face amount of $625 million. Upon debt
issuance, 3M completed a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on a notional amount of $600 million as a fair value hedge of
a portion of the fixed interest rate medium-term note obligation.
The location in the consolidated statements of income and amounts of gains and losses related to derivative instruments
designated as fair value hedges and similar information relative to the hedged items are as follows:
