For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net sales increased 3% year-over-year to $3,257 million, and for the six months, they rose 4% to $6,323 million. This growth was primarily due to a 4% volume increase in Q2 and 5% for 6M, partially offset by a 2% and 1% decrease in local price and product mix, respectively.
DuPont reported a net loss of $512 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a substantial decline from $382 million net income in the prior year period. This was primarily driven by a $768 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge in Q1 2025 and a $202 million loss from discontinued operations.
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased to $763 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1,020 million in the prior year. This decrease is primarily from increased cash used by net working capital, driven by higher trade receivables and inventory, partially offset by higher accounts payable.
