The organic revenue growth comparison excludes: • Other revenue of $72 million in the current year and -$52 million in the prior year; and • Foreign currency benefit of $159 million on the remaining segments. Q1 revenue by segment included: • Cardiovascular Portfolio revenue of $3.285 billion increased 9.3% as reported and 7.0% organic, with a high-single digit increase in Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure, mid-single digit increase in Structural Heart & Aortic, and low-single digit increase in Coronary & Peripheral Vascular, all on an organic basis; • Neuroscience Portfolio revenue of $2.416 billion increased 4.3% reported and 3.1% organic, with a high-single digit increase in Neuromodulation and mid-single digit increase in Cranial & Spinal Technologies, offset by a low-single digit decrease in Specialty Therapies, all on an organic basis; 2 • Medical Surgical Portfolio revenue of $2.083 billion grew 4.4% as reported and 2.4% organic, with low-single digit organic growth in both Surgical & Endoscopy and Acute Care & Monitoring; and • Diabetes business revenue of $721 million increased 11.5% as reported and 7.9% organic. Q1 GAAP operating profit and operating margin were $1.445 billion and 16.8%, respectively, increases of 13% and 70 basis points, respectively. As detailed in the financial schedules included at the end of the release, Q1 non-GAAP operating profit and operating margin were $2.016 billion and 23.6%, respectively, an increase of 3% and decrease of 80 basis points, respectively. Q1 GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.040 billion and $0.81, respectively, flat and an increase of 1%, 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 $1.626 billion and $1.26, respectively, both increases of 2%. Non-GAAP diluted EPS had no impact from foreign currency translation. Guidance The company today reiterated its FY26 revenue growth and raised its FY26 EPS guidance. The company continues to expect FY26 organic revenue growth of approximately 5%. The organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange and revenue reported as Other. Including Other revenue and the impact of foreign currency exchange, assuming recent foreign currency exchange rates, FY26 revenue growth on a reported basis would be in the range of 6.5% to 6.8%. Excluding the potential impact from tariffs, Medtronic now expects underlying FY26 diluted non-GAAP EPS growth to be approximately 4.5% versus the prior guidance of approximately 4%. Including the reduced potential impact from tariffs of approximately 3 $185 million versus the prior range of approximately $200 million to $350 million, Medtronic is raising its FY26 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance to the new range of $5.60 to $5.66 versus the prior range of $5.50 to $5.60. “As a result of our Q1 EPS outperformance and improved tariff impact assumption, we are raising our full year EPS guidance,” said Thierry Piéton, Medtronic chief financial officer. “Our confidence continues to increase as we advance our revenue growth drivers and execute on efficiencies in manufacturing, supply chain, and operating expenses to drive earnings growth, and increase our growth investments in R&D, sales, and marketing, all with a deliberate focus on creating long-term shareholder value.” Video Webcast Information Medtronic will host a video webcast today, August 19, at 8:00 a.m. EDT (7:00 a.m. CDT) to provide information about its business for the public, investors, analysts, and news media.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks related to competitive factors, difficulties and delays inherent in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of medical products, government regulation, geopolitical conflicts, changing global trade policies, material acquisition and divestiture transactions, general economic conditions, and other risks and uncertainties described in the company’s periodic reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of the company. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words or expressions, such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “looking ahead,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “going to,” “will,” and similar words or expressions, the negative or plural of such words or expressions and other comparable terminology. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Medtronic does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or any of the information contained in this press release, including to reflect future events or circumstances. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This press release contains financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and organic revenue, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. References to quarterly or annual figures increasing, decreasing or remaining flat are in comparison to fiscal year 2025, and references to sequential changes are in comparison to the prior fiscal quarter. Unless stated otherwise, quarterly and annual rates and ranges are given on an organic basis. 5 Medtronic management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the company’s underlying operational performance and trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the med tech industry. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS exclude the effect of certain charges or gains that contribute to or reduce earnings but that result from transactions or events that management believes may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments). Medtronic generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s review of the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and investors are cautioned that Medtronic may calculate non-GAAP financial measures in a way that is different from other companies. Management strongly encourages investors to review the company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial schedules accompanying this press release. Medtronic calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as significant acquisitions, divestitures, or other significant discrete items. Forward-looking diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance also excludes other potential charges or gains that would be recorded as Non-GAAP Adjustments to earnings during the fiscal year. Medtronic does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP EPS guidance to projected GAAP EPS guidance because the combined impact and timing of recognition of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance. -end- Contacts: Erika Winkels Public Relations +1-763-526-8478 6 Ryan Weispfenning Investor Relations +1-763-505-4626 7 FINANCIAL SCHEDULES Page World Wide Revenue 9 U.S. Revenue 10 International Revenue 11 Consolidated Statements of Income 12 GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations 13 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 16 8 MEDTRONIC PLC WORLD WIDE REVENUE (1) (Unaudited) FIRST QUARTER REPORTED ORGANIC (in millions) FY26 FY25 Growth Currency Impact (4) FY26 (5) FY25 (5) Growth Cardiovascular $ 3,285 $ 3,007 9.3 % $ 68 $ 3,217 $ 3,007 7.0 % Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure 1,712 1,535 11.5 37 1,676 1,535 9.1 Structural Heart & Aortic 930 856 8.7 22 908 856 6.1 Coronary & Peripheral Vascular 643 616 4.5 10 633 616 2.9 Neuroscience 2,416 2,317 4.3 27 2,389 2,317 3.1 Cranial & Spinal Technologies 1,211 1,147 5.5 12 1,199 1,147 4.5 Specialty Therapies 702 713 (1.5) 9 694 713 (2.7) Neuromodulation 504 457 10.2 7 496 457 8.6 Medical Surgical 2,083 1,996 4.4 40 2,044 1,996 2.4 Surgical & Endoscopy 1,612 1,544 4.4 32 1,580 1,544 2.3 Acute Care & Monitoring 471 452 4.3 8 464 452 2.6 Diabetes 721 647 11.5 23 698 647 7.9 Total Reportable Segments 8,506 7,967 6.8 159 8,347 7,967 4.8 Other (2) 72 (52) NM (3) 3 — — — TOTAL $ 8,578 $ 7,915 8.4 % $ 162 $ 8,347 $ 7,967 4.8 % (1) The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded to the nearest million and, therefore, may not sum.
