On January 15, 2025, DuPont announced it is targeting November 1, 2025, for the completion of the intended separation of the Electronics business (the "Intended Electronics Separation"). DuPont also announced that it would retain the Water business.

On July 28, 2024, DuPont completed the acquisition of Donatelle Plastics, LLC ("Donatelle Plastics"), for a net purchase price of $365 million (the "Donatelle Plastics Acquisition") which includes immaterial adjustments for acquired cash and net working capital.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $56 million to its pension plans in 2025. The amount and timing of actual future contributions will depend on applicable funding requirements, discount rates, investment performance, plan design, and various other factors.

The Company expects 2025 capital expenditures to be about $660 million which includes separation-related capital expenditures. The Company may adjust its spending throughout the year as economic conditions develop.

In December 2023, the Company approved targeted restructuring actions to capture near-term cost reductions due to macroeconomic factors as well as to further simplify certain organizational structures following the Spectrum acquisition and Delrin® Divestiture (the "2023-2024 Restructuring Program"). DuPont recorded a pre-tax charge related to the 2023-2024 Restructuring Program in the amount of $199 million, inception to date, recognized in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, comprised of $114 million of severance and related benefit costs and asset related charges of $85 million.

The Company continuously strives for zero workplace injuries, occupational illnesses and incidents. The Company's safety metrics are continually measured against this goal, and DuPont's Environmental, Health, Safety & Sustainability Committee oversees improvements in the Company's health and safety practices.

DuPont may be unable to achieve all the benefits that it expects to achieve from the Intended Electronics Separation, if the Intended Electronics Separation is effected at all. The success of the Intended Electronics Separation ultimately depends on, among other things, DuPont's ability to internally separate the Electronics business in a manner that facilitates the Intended Electronics Separation on a U.S. federal income tax-free basis and enables the future Electronics company as well as “new” DuPont, as a diversified industrials-focused company, (the “FutureCos” and each, a “FutureCo”), to benefit from increased focus and agility in their respective industries.

The Intended Electronics Separation may adversely impact DuPont's ability to access the capital markets and its cost of capital. The Intended Electronics Separation may have the effect of, among other things: requiring the Company to dedicate significant cash flow to the Company's debt, including, without limitation, the payment of principal and interest, payment of costs associated with the refinance, repayment, redemption, repurchase or exchange of the Company's outstanding debt, and payment of costs associated with the Intended Electronics Separation, which will reduce funds the Company has available for other purposes.

Supply chain and operational disruptions, including those as a result of pandemics and climate change, and volatility in energy and raw material costs, could significantly increase costs and expenses, adversely impact the Company's sales and earnings and impact access to sources of liquidity.

The markets in which the Company participates compete primarily through technology, range of products and services, performance, quality, reliability, brand, reputation, service and support. The Company provides extensive support, technical services and testing services for its customers, in addition to new product development.

DuPont is a multi-industrial company and is subject to competition across all product and service areas. Key competitors include but are not limited to: Electronics & Industrial: Element Solutions, Entegris, Fujifilm, Henkel, JSR, Merck KGaA, MKS Instruments, and Resonac.

DuPont is a multi-industrial company and is subject to competition across all product and service areas. Key competitors include but are not limited to: Water & Protection: 3M, Honeywell, Hydranautics, Kingspan, Kolon, Lanxess, Owens-Corning, Ecolab, Avient, Toray, Teijin, and Yantai.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 64 percent compared with 65 percent for the year ended December 31, 2023.

To address this risk, generally, the Company seeks to have many sources of supply for key raw materials in order to avoid significant dependence on any one or a few suppliers.

DuPont also takes actions to offset the effects of higher energy and raw material costs through selling price increases, productivity improvements and cost reduction programs.

The Company will invest approximately $70 million in its Electronics & Industrial segment to build new production assets at a Dayton, Ohio plant. The new assets will expand polymer production capacity to meet growing customer demand from the semiconductor market.

Additionally, the Company expects to invest about $165 million over the next five years at its Newark, Delaware plant to expand domestic production capacity to meet global customer demand from the semiconductor market.

Innovation is the business imperative. By uniting market-driven science and engineering with the strength of highly regarded brands including KEVLAR® high-strength material, NOMEX® thermal-resistant material, CORIAN® solid surfaces, TYVEK® selective barriers, FILMTECTM reverse osmosis elements, AMBERLITET™ ion exchange resins, STYROFOAMT™ insulation and GREAT STUFFT™ insulating foam sealants, the segment strives to bring new products and solutions to solve customers' needs faster, better and more cost effectively.

In connection with the Previously Intended Separations and continuing in light of the Intended Electronics Separation, DuPont announced its intent not to complete the remaining $500 million in share buyback authority under the $1B Share Buyback program.

Following the M&M Divestiture, in November 2022, DuPont redeemed in full $2.5 billion in fixed-rate long term senior unsecured notes due November 2023.

Following the announcement of the Previously Intended Business Separations, in the second quarter 2024, DuPont completed a partial redemption of $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 2038 Notes and entered into two forward-starting fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements ("2024 Swaps") to hedge the changes in the fair value of the Company's long-term debt due to interest rate change movements.

DuPont's sustainability strategy is focused on driving innovations to create sustainable solutions that help address the most pressing challenges facing society and the planet; enhancing the sustainability of its operations and facilities; and protecting the health and well-being of its employees and communities.

DuPont believes that climate change is an important global environmental issue that presents risks and opportunities. The Company is continuously evaluating opportunities for existing and new product and service offerings to meet the anticipated demands of a low-carbon economy.

The Company is committed to ensuring fair access to growth and fulfillment opportunities for its employees and to positively impacting communities in which it operates. In furtherance of these commitments, the Company supports several employee-led resource groups which are open to all employees.

Certain of the Company's sales are seasonal as consumer electronics and North American and European construction end-market demand generally increases in the second and third fiscal quarters resulting in sales increases in Interconnect Solutions and Shelter Solutions, respectively.

For the full year 2025, the Company anticipates ongoing strength within semiconductor markets as well as more normalized sales patterns in China.

The Company is subject to risks which include, but are not limited to, product safety or quality; shifting consumer preferences and public perception; federal, state, and local regulations on manufacturing or labeling; packaging, environmental, health and safety regulations; and customer product liability claims.
