Overview
On May 26, 2026, DuPont’s Board of Directors announced a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-3, as well as a reduction in the number of authorized shares of its common stock by a corresponding ratio (the "Reverse Stock Split"), as approved by shareholders. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on June 24, 2026. All share and share-related information presented in these interim Consolidated Financial Statements has been retroactively adjusted in all periods presented to reflect the decreased number of shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split and related impacts.
On April 1, 2026, DuPont completed the sale of the Aramids business (the "Aramids Business" and the divestiture of the Aramids Business, the "Aramids Divestiture") to a subsidiary of ARC Falcon Holdings LP ("Arclin"), a portfolio company of an affiliate of TJC LP for pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion, subject to customary transaction adjustments, a note receivable in the principal amount of $300 million (the "Aramids Note Receivable") and a non-controlling common equity interest (the "Aramids Equity Consideration"), valued at $325 million, in Arclin which now owns the Arclin global materials business and the Aramids Business. The financial results of the divested Aramids Business are reflected in DuPont's interim Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations, along with comparative periods.
On November 1, 2025, DuPont completed the separation of its semiconductor and interconnect solutions businesses (the "Electronics Business" and the separation of the Electronics Business, the "Electronics Separation") into an independent public company, Qnity Electronics, Inc. ("Qnity"), by way of the distribution to DuPont's stockholders of record as of October 22, 2025 of all the issued and outstanding common stock of Qnity on November 1, 2025 (the "Qnity Distribution"). As a result, the financial results of the divested Electronics Business are reflected in DuPont's interim Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations for all periods.

Some of the important factors that could cause DuPont's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Electronics Separation and the Qnity Distribution, including achievement of the intended tax treatment and the contractual allocation to, and assumption by, Qnity of liabilities and obligations, including certain legacy liabilities, as well as the possibility of disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the Electronics Separation and Qnity Distribution; (ii) the impact of the Aramids Divestiture on DuPont’s balance sheet, financial condition and future results of operations, as well as any post-closing adjustments, and disputes or unanticipated costs in connection with the Aramids Divestiture; (iii) risks and costs associated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and the related arrangement among DuPont, Corteva, Inc. and The Chemours Company to share certain eligible costs, including the outcome of pending or future litigation, which includes personal injury claims and natural resource damages claims; the extent and cost of ongoing or future remediation and other environmental obligations; the collectability or availability of indemnification, reimbursement or cost-sharing rights; and applicable changes in laws, regulations, or enforcement policies; (iv) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions and other portfolio-management, productivity and infrastructure actions; (v) risks and uncertainties outside the Company’s control that adversely affect the economic and operating environment in which DuPont, its customers and/or its suppliers operate, including inflationary or deflationary pressures, changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit availability, consumer and industrial demand, economic slowdowns or recessions, political and regulatory developments, international trade policies, geopolitical tensions and military conflicts, capital market volatility as well as pandemics, natural disasters, severe weather events and other disruptions; (vi) the availability and cost of raw materials, energy, transportation and logistics, including the Company’s ability to mitigate or offset cost increases, shortages, delays or other supply-chain disruptions through pricing, productivity initiatives, alternative sourcing or otherwise; (vii) risks and uncertainties associated with continuing or expanding geopolitical conflicts, trade disputes, sanctions, trade restrictions and responsive or retaliatory actions, including the imposition, modification, invalidation, reinstatement or replacement of tariffs, export controls, including on exports to China of U.S.-regulated products and technology, or other trade measures; (viii) other risks to DuPont’s business and operations, including cybersecurity, operational and impairment risks; (ix) risks and uncertainties associated with the timing, amount and completion of repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase authorization, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, alternative uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, associated costs and the possibility that repurchases may be reduced, suspended or discontinued prior to completion; (x) the effects of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading price, liquidity and marketability of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s ability to realize the intended benefits of the Reverse Stock Split; and (xi) other risk factors discussed in DuPont’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business or supply chain disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on DuPont’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial metrics presented reflect continuing operations only.
This communication includes information that does not conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company, including allocating resources. DuPont’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information related to the ongoing performance of DuPont to offer a more meaningful comparison related to future results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these Non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 12. Non-GAAP measures included in this communication are defined below. The Company has not provided forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain future events. These events include, among others, the impact of portfolio changes, including asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; contingent liabilities related to litigation, environmental and indemnifications matters; impairments and discrete tax items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.
Key Terms
Significant Items
Significant items are items that arise outside the ordinary course of business for the Company and includes items for nonconsolidated affiliates, that the Company’s management believes may cause misinterpretation of underlying business and investment performance, both historical and future, based on a combination of some or all of the item’s size, unusual nature and infrequent occurrence. Management classifies as significant items certain costs and expenses associated with integration and separation activities related to transformational acquisitions and divestitures as they are considered unrelated to ongoing business performance. There were no significant items associated with nonconsolidated affiliates recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025.
Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs
Indirect costs, such as those related to corporate and shared service functions previously allocated to the separated Electronics Business and Aramids Business, do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and are reported within continuing operations in all respective periods presented. The Company has, is, will or expects to be reimbursed in accordance with the applicable transition service agreements (“TSAs”) for the portion of indirect costs related to activities the Company is, will or expects to undertake on a transitional basis to support a) Qnity not beyond year end 2027 for services and 2040 for site leases and, b) the Aramids Business post the Aramids Divestiture, but not beyond 2028 (such indirect costs “Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs”). Services provided and costs reimbursed in accordance with the applicable TSAs include but are not limited to, costs associated with information technology services/support, product stewardship and regulatory support, facilities services, and shared property lease costs.
Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and therefore are included in both GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations and in GAAP Cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations for all periods presented. Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings, Operating EBITDA and Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow, each defined below. Such indirect costs that are not subject to future reimbursement are reported within continuing operations in Corporate and are included within Adjusted Earnings, Operating EBITDA, and Cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations.
Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs
Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs are environmental remediation costs, including certain investigate, remediate and restoration costs, associated with discontinued or divested operations, businesses or product lines (“Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs”). DDOB Remediation Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Operating EBITDA, as defined below, to provide better insight into the underlying business performance of the Company.
Non-GAAP Measure Definitions
Organic Sales
Organic Sales is defined as net sales excluding the impacts of currency and portfolio.
Adjusted Earnings
Adjusted Earnings is defined as income from continuing operations excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, after-tax impact of amortization expense of intangibles, the after-tax impact of non-operating pension / other post employment benefits (“OPEB”) credits / costs, Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs and Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs.
Adjusted Earnings is the numerator used in the calculation of Adjusted EPS, as well as the denominator in Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion.
Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Earnings per common share - diluted. Management estimates amortization expense in 2026 associated with intangibles to be about $270 million on a pre-tax basis, or approximately $1.53 per share.
Operating EBITDA, EBITDA Margin & Incremental Margin
The Company's measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes is Operating EBITDA as this is the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company defines Operating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., “Income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension / OPEB benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, excluding Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs, and adjusted for significant items. Reconciliations of these measures are provided on the following pages.
Operating EBITDA Margin is defined as Operating EBITDA divided by Net Sales.
Incremental Margin is the change in Operating EBITDA divided by the change in Net Sales for the applicable period.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow & Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures and excluding the impact of cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business liquidity. As a result, Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents cash that is available to the Company, after investing in its asset base, to fund obligations using the Company’s primary source of liquidity, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. Management believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow, even though it may be defined differently from other companies, is useful to investors, analysts and others to evaluate the Company’s cash flow and financial performance, and it is an integral measure used in the Company’s financial planning process. Management notes that there were no exclusions for items that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted Earnings. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion as an indicator of our ability to convert earnings to cash.
Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow & Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion
Management believes supplemental non-GAAP financial measures including Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion (each defined below) provide an integral view of information on the Company's underlying business performance during this period of transformational change. Management believes the Electronics Separation and Aramids Divestiture collectively represent a significant transformational change for the Company and separation-related transaction cost payments impact comparability to the Company’s continuing operations. Management believes Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which may be defined differently from other companies, is useful to investors, analysts and others to evaluate the Company’s cash flow and financial performance, and it is an integral measure used in the Company’s financial planning process. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.
Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures and removing the impact of separation-related transaction costs and other payment and cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business liquidity.
Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding separation-related transaction costs, divided by Adjusted Earnings.
Separation-related transaction costs and other payments include cash outflows directly associated with the Electronics Separation and the Aramids Divestiture. These costs include advisor and banking fees, payments related to establishing a new capital structure (including fees associated with interest rate swaps), capital expenditures required to facilitate physical asset separation, restructuring payments associated with senior leadership, and Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, among other expenditures.
Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Operating EBITDA. To provide comparable data analysis, the Company has also adjusted payments associated with Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs within Separation-related transaction costs and other payments. This adjustment is intended to provide insight into the Company's underlying business performance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company adjusted $8 million associated with Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs within Separation-related transaction costs and other payments.
Additionally, $2 and $7 million were reflected in Separation-related transaction costs and other payments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, respectively, for capital expenditures incurred to complete the physical separation of shared locations.
Finally, $6 million of restructuring and short-term incentive program payments to former senior leadership were reflected in Separation-related transaction costs and other payments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2026. These payments were reflected in other cash payments as they related to the establishment of the post-spin leadership structure.
