April 26 (Reuters) - Diversified manufacturer 3M Co MMM.N
reported a 2.2 percent fall in quarterly revenue as sluggish
economic growth in emerging markets including China hurt demand
and a strong dollar eroded the value of sales from outside the
United States.
Net income attributable to 3M rose to $1.28 billion, or
$2.05 per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from $1.20
billion, or $1.85 per share, a year earlier.
3M, which makes Post-it notes as well as adhesives,
abrasives and other products for a variety of industries, said
revenue fell to $7.41 billion from $7.58 billion.
The company gets nearly two-thirds of its revenue from
outside the United States.
