Additionally, a portion of the Company's revenue is generated from consignment inventory maintained at hospitals. Our medical supply products are used primarily in hospitals, surgical centers, and alternate care facilities, such as home care and long-term care facilities, and are marketed to materials managers, group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs). We often negotiate with GPOs and IDNs, which enter into supply contracts for the benefit of their member facilities. Our four largest markets are the U.S., Western Europe, China, and Japan. Emerging markets are an area of increasing focus and opportunity, as we believe they remain under-penetrated.\nOur marketing and sales strategy is focused on rapid, cost-effective delivery of high-quality products to a diverse group of customers worldwide. To achieve this objective, our marketing and sales teams are organized around physician specialties. This focus enables us to develop highly knowledgeable and dedicated sales representatives who are able to foster strong relationships with physicians and other customers and enhance our ability to cross-sell complementary products.\nWe are not dependent on any single customer for more than 10 percent of our total net sales.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Segment and Market Geography\n\nThe charts below illustrate the percent of net sales by market geography for fiscal years 2023 and 2022:\n\nThe table below includes net sales by market geography for each of our segments for fiscal years 2023 and 2022:\n,U.S.(1),,Non-U.S. Developed Markets(2),,Emerging Markets(3)\n(in millions),Fiscal Year 2023,,Fiscal Year 2022,,% Change,,Fiscal Year 2023,,Fiscal Year 2022,,% Change,,Fiscal Year 2023,,Fiscal Year 2022,,% Change\nCardiovascular,,$5,848,,,,$5,545,,,5%,,,,$3,564,,,,$3,866,,,(8)%,,,,$2,161,,,,$2,012,,,7%,\nMedical Surgical,3,658,,,3,862,,,(5),,,3,080,,,3,373,,,(9),,,1,694,,,1,905,,,(11),\nNeuroscience,6,018,,,5,753,,,5,,,1,658,,,1,801,,,(8),,,1,283,,,1,229,,,4,\nDiabetes,849,,,974,,,(13),,,1,106,,,1,085,,,2,,,307,,,279,,,10,\nTotal,,$16,373,,,,$16,135,,,1%,,,,$9,408,,,,$10,126,,,(7)%,,,,$5,446,,,,$5,426,,,—%,\n(1)U.S. includes the United States and U.S. territories.\n(2)Non-U.S. developed markets include Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Canada, and the countries within Western Europe.\n(3)Emerging markets include the countries of the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the countries of Asia that are not included in the non-U.S. developed markets, as defined above.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Medtronic plcNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)\n\nThe table below illustrates net sales by market geography and segment for fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021:\n,U.S.(1),,Non-U.S. Developed Markets(2),,Emerging Markets(3)\n(in millions),Fiscal Year 2023,,Fiscal Year 2022,,Fiscal Year 2021,,Fiscal Year 2023,,Fiscal Year 2022,,Fiscal Year 2021,,Fiscal Year 2023,,Fiscal Year 2022,,Fiscal Year 2021\nCardiovascular,,$5,848,,,,$5,545,,,,$5,248,,,,$3,564,,,,$3,866,,,,$3,752,,,,$2,161,,,,$2,012,,,,$1,773,\nMedical Surgical,3,658,,,3,862,,,3,650,,,3,080,,,3,373,,,3,320,,,1,694,,,1,905,,,1,766,\nNeuroscience,6,018,,,5,753,,,5,456,,,1,658,,,1,801,,,1,724,,,1,283,,,1,229,,,1,015,\nDiabetes,849,,,974,,,1,171,,,1,106,,,1,085,,,1,019,,,307,,,279,,,222,\nTotal,,$16,373,,,,$16,135,,,,$15,526,,,,$9,408,,,,$10,126,,,,$9,815,,,,$5,446,,,,$5,426,,,,$4,777,\n(1)U.S. includes the United States and U.S. territories.\n(2)Non-U.S. developed markets include Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Canada, and the countries within Western Europe.\n(3)Emerging markets include the countries of the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the countries of Asia that are not included in the non-U.S. developed markets, as defined above.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Medtronic plcNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)\nGeographic Information\n\nNet sales are attributed to the country based on the location of the customer taking possession of the products or in which the services are rendered.

We remain committed to developing technological enhancements and new indications for existing products, and less invasive and new technologies for new and emerging markets to address unmet patient needs. That commitment leads to our initiation and participation in hundreds of clinical trials each fiscal year as the demand for clinical and economic evidence remains high. Furthermore, our development activities are intended to help reduce patient care costs and the length of hospital stays in the future. We have not engaged in significant customer or government-sponsored research.\nOur R&D activities include improving existing products and therapies, expanding their indications and applications for use, developing new therapies and procedures, and entering into arrangements with third parties to fund the development of certain technologies.

Along with other programs, the Medtronic Employee Assistance Program and the Medtronic Employee Emergency Assistance Fund have historically supported employees and their families when faced with difficult times by providing a variety of services such as mental health, safety, and financial resources and support at no cost. These programs have proven invaluable in navigating our employees through unique challenges, including in fiscal year 2023. The Medtronic Employee Emergency Assistance Fund is supported by donations from employees and the Medtronic Foundation, and over the last five years has provided over $6 million in grants to employees experiencing unexpected events creating a financial hardship.\nFor more information on Human Capital Management at Medtronic, please refer to our 2022 Integrated Performance Report(1) as well as Medtronic’s 2022 Global Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Report(1) available on our company website.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Aggregate market value of voting and non-voting common equity of Medtronic plc held by non-affiliates of the registrant as of October 28, 2022, based on the closing price of $86.82 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange: approximately $115.5 billion.

For example, business in China comprises approximately seven percent of our total revenues. This may increase our vulnerability to our technology being reverse engineered or our trade secrets being compromised. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property in China or other countries, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

The products include those for advanced and general surgical products, surgical stapling devices, vessel sealing instruments, wound closure, electrosurgery products, hernia mechanical devices, mesh implants, advanced ablation, interventional lung, ventilators, airway products, renal care products, and sensors and monitors for pulse oximetry, capnography, level of consciousness and cerebral oximetry. Medical Surgical’s net sales for fiscal year 2023 were $8.4 billion, a decrease of 8 percent as compared to fiscal year 2022. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable currency impact of $454 million, provincial volume-based procurement (VBP) stapling tenders in China, and a decline in ventilator sales due to the high COVID-19 demand in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Supply chain disruptions, particularly in Surgical Innovations, also contributed to the net sales decrease for fiscal year 2023.\nThe charts below illustrate the percent of Medical Surgical net sales by division for fiscal years 2023 and 2022:\n\nSurgical Innovations net sales for fiscal year 2023 decreased 7 percent as compared to fiscal year 2022. The net sales decline was led by Advanced Surgical instruments, driven by global supply chain challenges, including resins, semiconductors, and packaging trays, which impacted energy and stapling products, and provincial VBP stapling tenders and COVID-19 lockdowns in China. These declines were partially offset by growth in Advanced Energy in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.\nRespiratory, Gastrointestinal, & Renal (RGR) net sales for fiscal year 2023 decreased 10 percent as compared to fiscal year 2022. RGR net sales declines were largely due to declines in ventilator demand when compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year as demand dropped below pre-pandemic levels, as well as declines in RCS driven by product availability challenges in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2023, and only two months of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 as a result of the April 1, 2023 contribution of half of the Company's RCS business to form Mozarc Medical.

We intend to continue to expand our operations and to pursue growth opportunities outside the U.S., especially in emerging markets. Operations in different countries including emerging markets could expose us to additional and greater risks and potential costs, including:\n•fluctuations in currency exchange rates,\n•healthcare reform legislation,\n•the need to comply with different regulatory regimes worldwide that are subject to change and that could restrict our ability to manufacture and sell our products,\n•local product preferences and product requirements,\n•longer-term receivables than are typical in the U.S.,\n•economic sanctions, export controls, trade protection measures, tariffs and other border taxes, and import or export licensing requirements,\n•less intellectual property protection in some countries outside the U.S. than exists in the U.S.,\n•different labor regulations and workforce instability,\n•political and economic instability, including as a result of wars and insurrections,\n•the expiration and non-renewal of foreign tax rulings and/or grants,\n•potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws, and\n•economic instability and inflation, recession or interest rate fluctuations.\nThe ongoing global economic competition and trade tensions between the U.S. and China present risk to Medtronic. Although we have been able to mitigate some of the impact on Medtronic from increased duties imposed by both sides (through petitioning both governments for tariff exclusions and other mitigations), the risk remains of additional tariffs and other kinds of restrictions. Tariff exclusions awarded to Medtronic by the U.S. Government require periodic renewal, and policies for granting exclusions could shift. The U.S. and China, which\nTable of Contents\ncomprises approximately seven percent of our total revenues, could impose other types of restrictions such as limitations on government procurement or technology export restrictions, which could affect Medtronic’s access to the markets.\nThe Russia-Ukraine conflict and resulting sanctions and export restrictions are creating barriers to doing business in Russia and Belarus and adversely impacting global supply chains. While we have no manufacturing, distribution or direct material suppliers in the region, we continue to closely monitor the potential raw material/sub-tier supplier impact in both Russia and Ukraine. Materials like palladium and neon, which are both dependent on Russia supply, are part of broader semiconductor shortages in industry. Additional sanctions, export restrictions, and potential countermeasures within Russia may lead to greater uncertainty and geopolitical shifts in Asia that could cause additional adverse impacts on global supply chains and our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.\nMore generally, several governments including the U.S. have raised the possibility of policies to induce “re-shoring” of supply chains, less reliance on imported supplies, and greater national production. Examples include potential “Buy America” requirements in the U.S. If such steps triggered retaliation in other markets restricting access to foreign products in purchases by their government-owned healthcare systems, the result could be a significant impact on Medtronic.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Business and Operational Risks\nSub-subsection: We have debt obligations that create risk.\n\nWe are required to use a portion of our operating cash flow to pay interest or principal on our outstanding indebtedness instead of for other corporate purposes, including funding future expansion of our business.

Over the course of the past fiscal year, interest rate increases in the U.S. and Europe, and recent disruptions in the financial services industry, caused periods of tightened credit availability and volatility in borrowing terms.

The Company's management has chosen to organize the entity based upon therapy solutions provided by each segment. The four principal segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately, as each one develops and manufactures products and provides services oriented toward targeted therapy solutions. The primary products and services from which the Cardiovascular Portfolio segment derives its revenues include products for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiac rhythm disorders and cardiovascular disease, as well as services to diagnose, treat, and manage heart and vascular-related disorders and diseases. The primary products and services from which the Medical Surgical Portfolio segment derives its revenues include those focused on diseases of the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, pelvic region, kidneys, obesity, and other preventable complications. The primary products and services from which the Neuroscience Portfolio segment derives its revenues include those focused on neurostimulation therapies and drug delivery systems for the treatment of chronic pain, as well as various areas of the spine and brain, along with pelvic health and conditions of the ear, nose, and throat. The primary products from which the Diabetes Operating Unit segment derives its revenues include those focused on diabetes management, including insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring systems and sensors, and smart insulin pens. As of the beginning of fiscal year 2024, the Company realigned the operating segment structure as a result of changes in segment leadership and how the Company makes operating decisions and assesses business performance. We continue to have four reportable segments: Cardiovascular Portfolio, Medical Surgical Portfolio, Neuroscience Portfolio, and Diabetes Operating Unit; however, the transition activities from the previously divested businesses in the Medical Surgical Portfolio segment are now in an all other reporting segment. Segment disclosures are on a performance basis, consistent with internal management reporting. Net sales of the Company's segments include end-customer revenues from the sale of products the segment develops, manufactures, and distributes. Refer to Note 2 for discussion on net sales by segment. There are certain corporate and centralized expenses that are not allocated to the segments. The Company's management evaluates the performance of the segments and allocates resources based on net sales and segment operating profit.

We remain committed to being recognized as a company of dedication, honesty, integrity, and service. Building on this strong foundation, we are embracing our role as a healthcare technology leader and evolving our business strategy in four key areas:\n•Leveraging our pipeline to accelerate revenue growth: The combination of our good end markets, recent product launches and robust pipeline is expected to continue accelerating our growth over both the near-and long-term. We aim to bring inventive and disruptive technology to large healthcare opportunities which enables us to better meet patient needs. Patients around the world deserve access to our life-saving products, and we are driven to use our local presence and scale to increase the adoption of our products and services in markets around the globe.\n•Serving more patients by accelerating innovation driven growth and delivering shareholder value: We listen to our patients and customers to better understand the challenges they face. From the patient journey, to creating agile partnerships that produce novel solutions, to making it easier for our customers to deploy our therapies — everything we do is anchored in deep insight, and creates simpler, superior experiences.\n•Creating and disrupting markets with our technology: We are confident in our ability to maximize new technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and data and analytics to tailor therapies in real-time, facilitating remote monitoring and care delivery that conveniently manages conditions, and creates new standards of care.\n•Empowering our operating units to be more nimble and more competitive: Our operating model, which was effective February 2021, simplified our organization to accelerate decision making, improve commercial execution, and more effectively leverage the scale of our company.\nWe have four operating and reportable segments that primarily develop, manufacture, distribute, and sell device-based medical therapies and services: the Cardiovascular Portfolio, the Medical Surgical Portfolio, the Neuroscience Portfolio, and the Diabetes Operating Unit.

These activities did not directly result in any revenues or profits for Medtronic. Medtronic did not engage in these activities during the first and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2023.

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.\nTotal debt at April 28, 2023 was $24.4 billion, as compared to $24.1 billion at April 29, 2022. The increase in total debt was driven by issuance of Euro-denominated and USD-denominated Senior Notes, and fluctuations in exchange rates, offset by repayment of Euro-denominated and USD-denominated Senior Notes.\nIn May 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.

If these conditions were to recur or worsen, we may experience reduced demand for a number of our products.

The continuing efforts of governmental authorities, insurance companies and other payers of healthcare costs to contain or reduce these costs could lead to patients being unable to obtain approval for payment from these third-party payers. If third-party payer payment approval cannot be obtained by patients, sales of finished medical devices that include our components may decline significantly and our customers may reduce or eliminate purchases of our components. The cost-containment measures that healthcare providers are instituting, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S., could harm our ability to operate profitably. For example, managed care organizations have successfully negotiated volume discounts for pharmaceuticals, and GPOs and IDNs have also concentrated purchasing decisions for some customers, which has led to downward pricing pressure for medical device companies, including us.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Economic and Industry Risks\nSub-subsection: Changes in the prices of our goods and services and/or inflationary costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.\n\nWe have experienced, and may continue to experience, decreasing prices for certain of our goods and services due to pricing pressure from managed care organizations and other third-party payers on our customers, increased market power of our customers as the medical device industry consolidates and increased competition among medical engineering and manufacturing services providers. We have also recently experienced, and may continue to experience, rising costs due to inflation.

We expect medical procedure rates to continue to vary by therapy and country, and could be impacted by regional COVID-19 case volumes, healthcare system staffing shortages and supply chain issues that affect their ability to provide care, patients’ ability or willingness to schedule deferrable procedures, travel restrictions, transportation limitations, quarantine restrictions, vaccine and booster immunization rates, and new COVID-19 variants.\nTogether with the preventative and precautionary measures being taken, as well as the corresponding need to adapt to new and improved methods of conducting business, such as increased remote monitoring, COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on certain aspects of our Company and business, including the demand for and supply of certain of our products, operations, supply chains and distribution systems, and our ability to generate cash flow. Some of our products are more sensitive to reductions in deferrable and emergent medical procedures, and certain medical procedures have been and may continue to be suspended or postponed. It is not possible to predict the timing of deferrable medical procedures and, to the extent individuals and hospital systems de-prioritize, delay or cancel these procedures, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could continue to be negatively affected.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES\n\nWe have used various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in \"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data\" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.\nThe 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.\nOur critical accounting estimates include the following:\n**Revenue Recognition** The Company sells its products through direct sales representatives and independent distributors. Additionally, a portion of the Company's revenue is generated from consignment inventory maintained at hospitals and royalty and intellectual property arrangements. The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer. For products sold through direct sales representatives and independent distributors, control is transferred upon shipment or upon delivery, based on the contract terms and legal requirements. For consignment inventory, control is transferred when the product is used or implanted. Payment terms vary depending on the country of sale, type of customer, and type of product.\nThe amount of revenue recognized reflects sales rebates and returns, which are estimated based on sales terms, historical experience, and trend analysis. In estimating rebates, the Company considers the lag time between the point of sale and the payment of the rebate claim, the stated rebate rates, and other relevant information. The Company records adjustments to rebates and returns reserves as increases or decreases of revenue.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Production and Availability of Raw Materials\n\nWe manufacture products at manufacturing facilities located in various countries throughout the world. We purchase many of the components and raw materials used in manufacturing our products from numerous suppliers in various countries. Certain components and raw materials are available only from a sole supplier. We work closely with our suppliers to help ensure continuity of supply while maintaining high quality and reliability. Generally, we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of such raw materials and components. However, due to the U.S. FDA’s manufacturing requirements, we may not be able to quickly establish additional or replacement sources for certain components or materials if we experience a sudden or unexpected reduction or interruption in supply and are unable to develop alternative sources.\nFor additional information related to our manufacturing facilities refer to “Item 2.

These markets are characterized by rapid change resulting from technological advances, innovations and scientific discoveries. In the product lines in which we compete, we face a range of competitors from large companies with multiple business lines to small, specialized manufacturers that offer a limited selection of niche products. Development by other companies of new or improved products, processes, technologies, or the introduction of reprocessed products or generic versions when our proprietary products lose their patent protection may make our existing or planned products less competitive. In addition, we face competition from providers of alternative medical therapies, such as pharmaceutical companies.\nWe believe our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:\n•product performance and reliability,\n•product technology and innovation,\n•product quality and safety,\n•breadth of product lines,\n•product support services,\n•customer support,\n•cost-effectiveness and price,\n•reimbursement approval from healthcare insurance providers, and\n•changes to the regulatory environment.\nCompetition may increase as additional companies enter our markets or modify their existing products to compete directly with ours. In addition, academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also may conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for discovery, research, clinical development and marketing of products similar to ours. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, as well as in acquiring necessary product technologies. From time to time we have lost, and may in the future lose, market share in connection with product problems, physician advisories, safety alerts and publications about our products, which highlights the importance of product quality, product efficacy and quality systems to our business. In the current environment of managed care, consolidation among healthcare providers, increased competition, declining reimbursement rates, and national and provincial tender pricing, as recently experienced in China, competitively priced product offerings are essential to our success. Further, our continued growth and success depend on our ability to develop, acquire and market new and differentiated products, technologies and intellectual property, and as a result we also face competition for marketing, distribution, and collaborative development agreements, establishing relationships with academic and research institutions and licenses to intellectual property. In order to continue to compete effectively, we must continue to create, invest in or acquire advanced technology, incorporate this technology into our proprietary products, obtain regulatory approvals in a timely manner, and manufacture and successfully market our products. Given these factors, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively or continue our level of success.\nTable of Contents", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Legal and Regulatory Risks\nSub-subsection: We are subject to extensive and complex laws and governmental regulations and any adverse regulatory action may materially adversely affect our financial condition and business operations.\n\nGovernmental regulations in the U.S. and outside the U.S. are constantly changing and may become increasingly stringent.

Our operations and those of certain third-party suppliers involve the use of substances subject to these laws and regulations, primarily those used in manufacturing and sterilization processes. If we or our suppliers violate these environmental laws and regulations, facilities could be shut down and violators could be fined, or otherwise sanctioned.

Our international operations subject us to these laws and regulations, which are complex, restrict our business dealings with certain countries, governments, entities, and individuals, and are constantly changing. Further restrictions may be enacted, amended, enforced or interpreted in a manner that materially impacts our operations.\nFrom time to time, certain of our subsidiaries have limited business dealings in countries subject to comprehensive sanctions, including Iran, Syria, Cuba, and the region of Crimea, as well as Russia and Belarus. Certain of our subsidiaries sell medical devices, and may provide related services, to distributors and other purchasing bodies in such countries/region. These business dealings represent an insignificant amount of our consolidated revenues and income, but expose us to a heightened risk of violating applicable sanctions regulations. Violations of these regulations are punishable by civil penalties, including fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts and revocations or restrictions of licenses, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment. We have established policies and procedures designed to assist with our compliance with such laws and regulations. However, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will prevent us from violating these regulations in every transaction in which we may engage, and such a violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Legal and Regulatory Risks\nSub-subsection: We are substantially dependent on patent and other proprietary rights and failing to protect such rights or to be successful in litigation related to our rights or the rights of others may result in our payment of significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments, negatively impacting our ability to sell current or future products.\n\nWe are substantially dependent on patent and other proprietary rights and rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, and agreements (such as employee, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements) to protect our business and proprietary intellectual property. We also operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation. Patent litigation can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent our manufacture and sale of affected products or require us to pay significant royalties in order to continue to manufacture or sell affected products. At any given time, we are generally involved as both a plaintiff and a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of patent litigation, it is possible that the results of such litigation could require us to pay significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments, negatively impact our ability to sell current or future products, or that enforcement actions to protect our patent and proprietary rights against others could be unsuccessful, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. In addition, any public announcements related to litigation or administrative proceedings initiated or threatened against us could cause our stock price to decline.\nWhile we intend to defend against any threats to our intellectual property, our patents, trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets or agreements (such as employee, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements) may not adequately protect our intellectual property. Further, pending patent applications may not result in patents being issued to us, patents issued to or licensed by us may be challenged or circumvented by competitors and such patents may be found invalid, unenforceable or too limited in scope to protect our technology or provide us with any competitive advantage. In addition, our patents will expire over time, our ability to protect novel business models is uncertain, and infringement may go undetected. Third parties could obtain patents that may require us to negotiate licenses to conduct our\nTable of Contents\nbusiness, and such licenses may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. In addition, license agreements could be terminated. We also rely on non-disclosure and non-competition agreements with certain employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. We cannot be certain that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information, or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or proprietary knowledge.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting\n\nDuring the quarter ended April 28, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.", "Ticker: MDT; CIK: 0001613103; Filing Date: 20230428; Filing Year: April 28, 2023; Company Name: Medtronic plc\n\nSub-section: Medtronic plcNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)\n\n**Currency Translation ** Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. dollar functional currency entities are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the currency impacts arising from the translation of the assets and liabilities are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, a component of *accumulated other comprehensive loss, *on the consolidated balance sheets. Elements of the consolidated statements of income are translated at the average monthly currency exchange rates in effect during the period. Currency transaction gains and losses are included in *other operating (income) expense, net* in the consolidated statements of income.**Stock-Based Compensation ** The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are expected to vest.

Our comprehensive professional development programs empower our people to build rewarding careers and help us attract world-class talent from global and diverse populations. Our suite of professional development programs ensures that our employees, regardless of level, location, language or learning preferences, have access to opportunities to develop and grow. Our investment in employee development has contributed to more than 32 percent of our open roles being filled with internal employees.\nWe have shifted away from degree requirements to focus on skills-based certification for certain roles within Medtronic. Additionally, as members of the Multiple Pathways Initiative, we have used a skills-based approach to offering opportunities to expanded pools of external talent that have previously been held back due to lack of access to undergraduate education. Internally, employees can now participate through MAPS (Medtronic Advancement Pathways and Skill-building) in undergraduate courses from top-tier universities to enhance or obtain new skills, at no cost to the employee. Our change in approach has opened up opportunities for employees who have been otherwise restricted from career advancement due to degree requirements." ]
