Exhibit 99.1 1    News Release Abbott Reports Third-Quarter 2024 Results and Raises Midpoint of Full-Year EPS Guidance Range – Sales of $10.6 billion driven by strong underlying base business performance – Reported sales growth of 4.9 percent; organic sales growth for underlying base business of 8.2 percent 1 , led by double-digit growth in Medical D evices – Continues to strengthen portfolio with steady cadence of new product approvals, reimbursement coverage, and clinical data ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Oct. 16, 2024 — Abbott today announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2024. • Third-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $0.94 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.21, which excludes specified items. • Abbott maintains its full-year 2024 organic sales growth guidance range of 9.5% to 10.0%, excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales 2 . • Abbott now projects full-year diluted EPS on a GAAP basis of $3.34 to $3.40 and projects adjusted diluted EPS of $4.64 to $4.70, which represents an increase at the midpoint of the guidance range. • In October, Abbott's board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $7 billion of the company's common shares. • In August, Abbott announced a unique global partnership with Medtronic to collaborate on connecting Abbott's world-leading continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system with Medtronic's insulin delivery devices. • In September, Abbott announced the U.S. launch of Lingo ™ , the company's first continuous glucose monitoring system available without a prescription and designed for people interested in improving their overall health and wellness. • In September, Abbott announced a partnership with the Big Ten Conference ® to conduct a nationwide blood donation competition to help increase the U.S. blood supply. • In September, Abbott completed enrollment ahead of schedule in its VOLT-AF IDE trial, which is designed to evaluate the Volt ™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System for treating patients with heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AFib). "Our results this quarter demonstrate the strength of our diversified business model," said Robert B. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "We're well-positioned to achieve the upper end of our initial guidance ranges for the year and have great momentum heading into next year." -- more --   Page 1 of 20 THIRD-QUARTER BUSINESS OVERVIEW Management believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange and the impact of discontinuing the ZonePerfect ® product line in the Nutrition business, is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the core underlying performance of the business. Management further believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis excluding COVID-19 tests is an appropriate way for investors to best understand underlying base business performance as the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted to an endemic state, resulting in significantly lower demand for COVID-19 tests. Note: In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.

In the third quarter of 2023, total worldwide sales were $10.143 billion and COVID-19 testing-related sales were $305 million. 2 Abbott has not provided the related GAAP financial measure for organic sales growth, excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales, on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of foreign exchange due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates, which could significantly impact reported sales growth. In addition, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted to an endemic state, the company has determined that it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty future COVID-19 test sales due to the unpredictability of demand for COVID-19 tests. 3 Diagnostic sales and COVID-19 testing-related sales in 2024 and 2023 are summarized below: Sales 3Q24 COVID Tests Sales 3Q24 ($ in millions) U.S. Int'l Total U.S. Int'l Total Total Diagnostics 1,032  1,380  2,412  206  59  265  Core Laboratory 332  982  1,314  1  2  3  Molecular 37  91  128  2  1  3  Rapid Diagnostics 560  264  824  203  56  259  Sales 3Q23 COVID Tests Sales 3Q23 ($ in millions) U.S. Int'l Total U.S. Int'l Total Total Diagnostics 1,013  1,436  2,449  207  98  305  Core Laboratory 317  997  1,314  2  3  5  Molecular 38  95  133  5  3  8  Rapid Diagnostics 561  301  862  200  92  292  Sales 9M24 COVID Tests Sales 9M24 ($ in millions) U.S. Int'l Total U.S. Int'l Total Total Diagnostics 2,775  4,046  6,821  428  143  571  Core Laboratory 969  2,879  3,848  3  5  8  Molecular 112  272  384  7  3  10  Rapid Diagnostics 1,386  762  2,148  418  135  553  Sales 9M23 COVID Tests Sales 9M23 ($ in millions) U.S. Int'l Total U.S. Int'l Total Total Diagnostics 3,309  4,145  7,454  1,031  267  1,298  Core Laboratory 917  2,872  3,789  6  10  16  Molecular 128  293  421  19  17  36  Rapid Diagnostics 1,975  853  2,828  1,006  240  1,246  -- more -- Page 8 of 20 Abbott Laboratories and Subsidiaries Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions, except per share data) (unaudited) 3Q24 3Q23 % Change Net Sales $10,635 $10,143 4.9  Cost of products sold, excluding amortization expense 4,698  4,605  2.0  Amortization of intangible assets 470  496  (5.1) Research and development 713  672  6.1  Selling, general, and administrative 2,895  2,723  6.3  Total Operating Cost and Expenses 8,776  8,496  3.3  Operating Earnings 1,859  1,647  12.8  Interest expense, net 51  69  (26.0) Net foreign exchange (gain) loss (11) (10) n/m Other (income) expense, net (121) (83) n/m Earnings before taxes 1,940  1,671  16.1  Taxes on earnings 294  235  25.6  Net Earnings $1,646 $1,436 14.6  Net Earnings excluding Specified Items, as described below $2,119 $2,000 5.9  1) Diluted Earnings per Common Share $0.94 $0.82 14.6  Diluted Earnings per Common Share, excluding Specified Items, as described below $1.21 $1.14 6.1  1) Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding Plus Dilutive Common Stock Options 1,748  1,748  NOTES: See tables on page 13 for an explanation of certain non-GAAP financial information. n/m = Percent change is not meaningful.
