In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all of 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. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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. </span></div>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 26, 2019.

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. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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 litigation charges and gains related to significant legal matters as certain litigation charges. During the three and six months ended October 25, 2019, the Company recognized $121 million and $168 million, respectively, of certain litigation charges related to probable and estimable damages for significant legal matters. During the six months ended October 26, 2018, the Company recognized $103 million of certain litigation charges. There were 0 certain litigation charges recognized during the three months ended October 26, 2018. At October 25, 2019 and April 26, 2019, accrued litigation was approximately $0.6 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively. 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 </span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">other accrued expenses</span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;"> and </span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">other liabilities</span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;"> on the consolidated balance sheets.

Two subsidiaries of Covidien supplied pelvic mesh products to one 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 15,800 claimants have asserted or may assert claims involving products manufactured by Covidien’s subsidiaries. As of November 6, 2019, the Company had reached agreements to settle approximately 15,400 of these claims. The Company's accrued expenses for this matter are included within accrued litigation as discussed above. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Patent Litigation</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration: underline;">Ethicon</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">On December 14, 2011, Ethicon filed an action against Covidien in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, alleging patent infringement and seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. On January 22, 2014, the district court entered summary judgment in Covidien's favor, and the majority of this ruling was affirmed by the Federal Circuit on August 7, 2015. Following appeal, the case was remanded back to the District Court with respect to one patent. On January 21, 2016, Covidien filed a second action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, seeking a declaration of non-infringement with respect to a second set of patents held by Ethicon. The court consolidated this second action with the remaining patent issues from the first action. Following consolidation of the cases, Ethicon dismissed six of the asserted patents, leaving a single asserted patent. In addition to claims of non-infringement, the Company asserts an affirmative defense of invalidity. The Company has not recognized an expense related to damages in connection with this matter, because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration: underline;">Sasso</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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. The Company has strong arguments to appeal the verdict and has filed post-trial motions and appeals with the appropriate appellate courts. The Company's accrued expenses for this matter are included within accrued litigation as discussed above. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Shareholder Related Matters</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration: underline;">Covidien Acquisition</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">On July 2, 2014, Lewis Merenstein filed a putative shareholder class action in Hennepin County, Minnesota, District Court seeking to enjoin the then-potential acquisition of Covidien. The lawsuit named Medtronic, Inc., Covidien, and each member of the Medtronic, Inc. Board of Directors at the time as defendants, and alleged that the directors breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders with regard to the then-potential acquisition. On August 21, 2014, Kenneth Steiner filed a putative shareholder class action in Hennepin County, Minnesota, District Court, also seeking an injunction to prevent the potential Covidien acquisition.

On March 20, 2015, the District Court issued an order and opinion granting Medtronic’s motion to dismiss the case. In May of 2015, the plaintiffs filed an appeal, and, in January of 2016, the Minnesota State Court of Appeals affirmed in part, and reversed in part. On April 19, 2016 the Minnesota Supreme Court granted the Company’s petition to review the issue of whether most of the original claims are properly characterized as direct or derivative under Minnesota law. In August of 2017, the Minnesota Supreme Court affirmed the </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">decision of the Minnesota State Court of Appeals, sending the matter back to the trial court for further proceedings, which are ongoing. The Company has not recognized an expense related to damages in connection with this matter, because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP.

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.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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 two landfills, capping of the remaining three landfills, installation of a groundwater extraction system and long-term monitoring of the site and the three remaining landfills.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Following a trial in March 2002, the Court 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 Court 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 Court 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. A third trial to determine the course of remediation to be pursued is scheduled to occur in fiscal year 2021.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The Company's accrued expenses for environmental proceedings are included within accrued litigation as discussed above. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Government Matters</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Since 2017, the Company has been responding to requests from the Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for information about business practices relating to a neurovascular product developed and first marketed by ev3 and Covidien. The Company has provided information in response to these requests and is cooperating with the inquiry. The Company has not recognized an expense in connection with any ongoing investigation, because any such potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from the ongoing information requests. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;">Income Taxes</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">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 on June 9, 2016, issued its opinion with respect to the allocation of income between the parties for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The U.S. Tax Court generally rejected the IRS’s position, but also made certain modifications to the Medtronic, Inc. tax returns as filed. On April 21, 2017, the IRS filed their Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit regarding the Tax Court Opinion. Oral argument for the Appeal occurred on March 14, 2018. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals issued their opinion on August 16, 2018, and remanded the case back to the U.S. Tax Court for additional factual findings. U.S. Tax Court trial is scheduled to occur in April of 2020.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">In October 2011, the IRS issued its audit report on Medtronic, Inc. for fiscal years 2007 and 2008.

The Tax Sharing Agreement covers certain income tax liabilities for periods prior to and including the spin-off. Medtronic’s share of the income tax liabilities for these periods is 42 percent, with Johnson Controls and TE Connectivity share being 27 percent, and 31 percent, respectively. If Johnson Controls and TE Connectivity default on their obligations to the Company under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company would be liable for the entire amount of these liabilities. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these tax liabilities are being shared equally among the parties. The most significant amounts at risk under this Tax Sharing Agreement were resolved with the U.S. Tax Court and IRS Appeals resolutions reached in May 2016. However, the Tax Sharing Agreement remains in place with respect to income tax liabilities that are not the subject of such resolution, including certain state and international tax matters that remain open.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The Company has used available information to develop its best estimates for certain assets and liabilities related to periods prior to the 2007 separation, including amounts subject to or impacted by the provisions of the Tax Sharing Agreement. The actual amounts that the Company may be required to ultimately accrue or pay under the Tax Sharing Agreement, however, could vary depending upon the outcome of the unresolved tax matters. Final determination of the balances will be made in subsequent periods, primarily related to tax years that remain open for examination. These balances will also be impacted by the filing of final or amended income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco International, Covidien and/or Tyco Electronics legal entities for periods prior to the 2007 separation.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 26, 2019 for additional information.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:8pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">As part of the Company’s sale of the Patient Care, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and Nutritional Insufficiency businesses to Cardinal on July 29, 2017, the Company has indemnified Cardinal for certain contingent tax liabilities related to the divested businesses that existed prior to the date of divestiture.
