48 rewritten, 20 added, 23 removed, 176 unchanged
DuPont could incur additional tax liabilities if certain internal transactions undertaken in connection with the completed divestiture of a majority of [removed: its historic] [added: the] Mobility & Materials [removed: segment] [added: business] to [removed: Celanese,] [added: Celanese] and [removed: in connection with DuPont’s pursuit] [added: divestiture] of [removed: plans to divest] the Delrin® [removed: business,] [added: business to TJC (the "M&M Divestitures"),] fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment.
Prior to the [removed: Closing] [added: closing] of the M&M [removed: Divestiture,] [added: Divestitures,] DuPont engaged in certain internal reorganization activities to separate [removed: the M&M Divested Businesses, and in certain cases in connection therewith, the Delrin® business,] into [removed: separate subsidiaries] and to [added: separately] align the [removed: subsidiaries] [added: legal entities] holding the M&M [removed: Divested Businesses] [added: Business] and the Delrin® business [removed: (referred to collectively as the "M&M Businesses")] for [removed: disposition in a tax-efficient manner.][added: disposition.]
DuPont has recognized a tax liability [added: pursuant to these reorganization activities] related to the M&M [removed: Divestiture.][added: Divestitures.]
However, if certain [removed: internal transactions related to the separation] of [removed: the M&M Businesses] [added: these internal reorganization activities] fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state, local tax and/or foreign tax law, DuPont could incur additional tax liabilities.
[removed: On November 7, 2022, DuPont’s] [added: Subsequent to year end, in the first quarter 2024, the Company’s] Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase [removed: program, which terminates on June 30, 2024, unless extended or shortened by the Board,] [added: program] authorizing the repurchase and retirement of up to [removed: $5] [added: $1] billion of common [removed: stock.][added: stock (“the $1B Program”).]
Under [removed: these] [added: this] or any other future share repurchase programs, DuPont may make share repurchases through a variety of methods, including open share market purchases or privately negotiated [removed: transactions,] [added: transactions off market,] including additional ASR agreements in accordance with applicable federal securities laws.
The existence of [removed: these] share repurchase programs could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to be higher than it otherwise would be and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for DuPont stock.
The distribution by DuPont to its stockholders of all the issued and outstanding shares of N&B through the Exchange Offer ("N&B Distribution") and the merger of N&B with a wholly-owned subsidiary of IFF ("N&B Merger") are expected to be tax-free to DuPont stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except to the extent that cash was paid to DuPont stockholders in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to the N&B Merger Agreement), and the N&B Contribution, [added: defined below,] N&B Distribution, and the one-time payment from N&B to DuPont of approximately $7.3 billion ("Special Cash Payment") are expected to result in no recognition of gain or loss by DuPont for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If any of [added: those] assumptions or representations are, or become, inaccurate or incomplete, reliance on the IRS private letter ruling may be affected.
[removed: Other provisions of federal, state, local, or foreign] law may establish similar liability for other matters, including laws governing tax-qualified pension plans, as well as other contingent liabilities.
Third parties could also seek to hold DuPont responsible for any of the liabilities allocated to Dow and Corteva, including those related to EIDP’s materials science and/or agriculture businesses, or for the conduct of such businesses prior to the distributions, and such third parties could seek damages, other monetary penalties (whether civil or criminal) and/or other [added: remedies.]
Additionally, DuPont generally assumes and is responsible for the payment of the Company’s share of (i) certain liabilities of DowDuPont relating to, arising out of or resulting from certain general corporate matters of DuPont and (ii) certain separation expenses not otherwise allocated to Corteva or Dow (or allocated specifically to it) pursuant to the Core Agreements, and third parties [removed: could] [added: may] seek to hold it responsible for Dow’s or Corteva’s share of any such liabilities.
Stray Liabilities include liabilities arising out of actions to the extent related to or resulting from EIDP’s development, testing, manufacture or sale of per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, (“PFAS Stray [removed: Liabilities”).][added: Liabilities”), that are not otherwise defended and indemnified by Chemours.]
At December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] the Company has recorded an indemnification liability related to Stray Liabilities.
At December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] the Company had recorded indemnification assets related to Stray Liabilities and other matters.
[removed: Furthermore, under the terms of the DWDP Tax Matters Agreement, as amended, a party also generally will be responsible for any taxes imposed on the other parties that arise from the failure of either distribution to qualify as tax-free for] U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code or the failure of certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment, to the extent such failure to qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions relating to such party, or such party's affiliates’, stock, assets or business, or any breach of such party's representations made in connection with the IRS Ruling or in any representation letter provided to a tax advisor in connection with certain tax opinions, including the Tax Opinions, regarding the tax-free status of the distributions and certain related transactions.
[removed: The extent] [added: DuPont is unable] to [removed: which] [added: predict] the [removed: novel coronavirus and variants (COVID-19) and measures taken in response to it, impact DuPont’s] [added: extent of pandemic related impacts on its] business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition [added: which] depends on [removed: future developments, which are] highly uncertain and [removed: cannot be predicted.][added: unpredictable future developments.]
DuPont’s manufacturing operations may be [removed: further] adversely affected by impacts [removed: from COVID-19 including, among other things, additional] [added: of pandemics including] government actions and other responsive measures, [removed: more and /or deeper supply chain disruptions,] quarantines and health and availability of essential onsite personnel.
DuPont, when necessary, [removed: is taking] [added: will take] actions, including reducing costs, restructuring actions, and delaying certain capital expenditures and non-essential spend.
There can be no guaranty that such actions [removed: will] [added: would] significantly mitigate the impact [removed: of COVID-19] on the company’s business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity or financial condition and the Company may [removed: continue to] experience materially adverse impacts to its business, results of operations and financial condition as a result of related global economic impacts, including inflationary pressures that have occurred and may continue to occur in the future.
Supply chain and operational [removed: disruptions] [added: disruptions, including those as a result of pandemics] and [added: climate change, and] volatility in energy and raw material [removed: costs] [added: costs,] could significantly increase costs and [removed: expenses and] [added: expenses,] adversely impact the Company’s sales and [removed: earnings.][added: earnings and impact access to sources of liquidity.]
In addition, the [removed: Company’] [added: Company’s] suppliers may experience capacity limitations in their own operations or may elect to reduce or eliminate certain product lines.
In addition, and where the supply market for key raw materials is concentrated, DuPont takes additional steps to manage its exposure to supply chain risk and price fluctuations through, among [removed: other things, negotiated long-term contracts some which include minimum purchase obligations.]
[added: As a] result, volatility in these costs may negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected by interruption [added: or regulation] of the Company’s information technology or network systems and [added: storage of information and] other business disruptions.
DuPont relies on centralized and local information technology [added: and physical] networks and systems, some of which are managed or accessible by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to otherwise manage or support its business.
Additionally, the Company [removed: collects] [added: collects, stores, processes, uses] and [removed: stores] [added: has access to] certain data, including proprietary business [removed: information,] and [removed: has access to confidential or] personal information [added: or data] that is subject to privacy and security laws, [removed: regulations] [added: regulations, orders] and [removed: customer-imposed controls.][added: controls or rules imposed by customer or other contracts.]
The interpretation and application of data protection laws in the U.S., Europe, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, Asia Pacific, Latin [removed: America,] [added: America] and elsewhere are continuing to evolve and may be different across these jurisdictions.
[removed: Violations of these laws could result in criminal or civil sanctions and even] [added: Even] the mere allegation of such violations, could harm the Company’s ability to do business, its results of operations, financial position and reputation.
Like [removed: most] [added: other] major corporations, DuPont is the target of [removed: industrial espionage, including] cyber-attacks, from time to [removed: time.][added: time, which include phishing, spam emails, hacking, social engineering, industrial espionage and malicious software.]
[removed: Although management does not believe that DuPont has experienced any material losses to date related to these security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents,] [added: Although,] there can be no assurance that DuPont will not suffer such losses in the future.
[removed: As part of preparatory and post-closing integration activities, the Company: (i) conducts a cybersecurity risk threat assessment and when evidence of a breach is] uncovered, conducts additional due diligence; (ii) based on the assessment, the Company develops and implements risk mitigation plans if needed and brings the acquisition under the Company’s cyber-attack/breach detection and response programs; and (iii) conducts an internal controls risk and compliance assessment and [removed: creates] [added: creates, as needed,] responsive action plans [removed: as needed] [added: intended] to mitigate and remediate identified weaknesses in the control environment.
Since certain of the Company's assets, especially those related to the Water & Protection and Electronics and Industrial segment, and those carried at Corporate & Other at December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] are heritage EIDP, declines, if any, in projected cash flows could have a material, negative impact on the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and assets.
In accordance with US GAAP, at least [removed: annually,] [added: annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified,] DuPont must assess both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.
Where DuPont utilizes discounted cash flow methodologies in determining fair values, significant negative industry or economic [removed: trends,] [added: trends and forecasts (including projected revenue, gross margins, selling, administrative, research and development expenses, capital expenditures, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rates, and the tax rates),] disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant change or planned changes in use of our assets, changes in the structure of our business, divestitures, market capitalization declines or increases in associated discount rates may impair our goodwill and other intangible assets.
A variety of factors may adversely affect the Company’s ability to realize the targeted cost synergies, including failure to successfully optimize the Company’s facilities footprint, the failure to take advantage of the Company’s global supply chain, the failure to identify and eliminate duplicative [added: programs.]
Demand for the Company’s products, which impacts revenue and profit margins, will be affected by (i) the development and timing of the introduction of competitive products; (ii) the Company’s response to downward pricing trends to stay competitive; (iii) changes in customer preferences, order patterns, such as changes in the levels of inventory maintained by customers and the timing of customer purchases which may be affected by announced price [removed: changes;] [added: changes and other factors outside of the Company's control;] (iv) availability and cost of raw materials and energy, as well as the Company’s ability and success in passing through increases in such costs; (v) levels of economic growth in the geographic and end use markets served by the Company; [removed: and] (vi) [added: changes in buying patterns thought to be temporary destocking could be indicative of loss of market share and (vii)] the mega-trends in digital transformation, connectivity, automation and ethics, environmental impact and sustainability driven purchasing decisions.
Demand for product offerings that are less carbon-intensive or customers determine support their respective sustainability [removed: goals,] [added: goals (in areas such as Substances of Concern, Circular Economy, Waste, Water, nature/biodiversity, Responsible Procurement, Human Rights)] is expected to continue to increase, driven by end-user and customer demand, investor preference, and government legislative and market- and product-specific actions in response to risks created by climate change.
If the Company is unable to successfully integrate, motivate and reward its employees, it may not be able to retain them or attract new employee in the future which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to [removed: effectively compete.][added: compete effectively.]
The Company may be required to increase salary and/or benefits to attract top performers which could significantly increase the [removed: Company] [added: Company's] costs and [added: adversely impact its] results of operations.
Other provisions of federal, state, local, or foreign

Violations of these laws or standards could result in criminal or civil sanctions, investigations, or enforcement actions.
However, risks from previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected, and are not reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial.
As part of preparatory and post-closing integration activities, the Company: (i) conducts a cybersecurity risk threat assessment and when evidence of a breach is
Refer to note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the goodwill impairment recorded in 2023.
When DuPont utilizes the market approach in determining fair values, adverse changes in projected EBITDA and derived multiples from comparable market transactions may impair our goodwill.
The demand for product offerings that align with sustainability goals is expected to continue to increase.
Customers are seeking products that are made using environmentally sound practices and materials, and which adhere to ethical and human rights standards.
The Company invests resources in technology and its operational assets to satisfy anticipated demand.
There is no guarantee that demand will support the Company’s new investments.

China’s policy to enhance domestic supply in sectors where the Company competes, could impact future demand for the Company’s products.
The Company has ongoing federal, state and international income tax audits in various jurisdictions and evaluates uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by local tax authorities.
The impact, if any, of these audits to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits is not estimable.
On November 1, 2022, DuPont and one of its subsidiaries completed the sale to Celanese of a majority of the Company’s historic Mobility & Materials segment, including the Engineering Polymers business line and select product lines within the Performance Resins and Advanced Solutions business lines (the “M&M Divested Businesses”) for $11 billion in cash, subject to customary transaction adjustments in accordance with the Transaction Agreement (the “M&M Divestiture”).
On February 18, 2022, DuPont also announced that its Board of Directors approved the divestiture of the Delrin® Business subject to entry into a definitive agreement and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
There can be no assurance as to the outcome, timing or ability to realize expected benefits from the Delrin® business divestiture process.

DuPont is actively monitoring the global impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impacts from responsive measures, and remains focused on its top priorities - the safety and health of its employees and the needs of its customers.
The Company’s business and financial condition, and the business and financial condition of the company’s customers and suppliers, have been and continue to be impacted by the significantly increased economic, supply and demand uncertainties created by the COVID-19 outbreak.
In addition, public and private sector responsive measures, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, quarantines, adoption of remote working, and suspension of non-essential business and government services, have impacted the
Company’s business and financial condition.
Many of DuPont’s facilities and employees are based in areas impacted by the virus.
While most DuPont manufacturing sites remain in operation, DuPont has reduced or furloughed, when necessary, certain operations in response to government measures, employee welfare concerns and the impact of COVID-19 on the global demand and supply chain.
In response, the Company developed site-by-site protocols in 2020 under which the Company continues to operate.
These protocols include pre-entrance screening, restricting visitor access, social distancing and masking requirements, additional sanitization and disinfecting requirements, restrictions on all nonessential travel and implementation of work-from-home protocols.
Limitations on travel and doing business in-person has increased the Company’s exposure to cybersecurity risks and could negatively impact the Company's innovation and marketing efforts, challenge the ability to deliver against the Company’s strategic priorities and to otherwise transact business in a timely manner, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm DuPont’s business.
Furthermore, COVID-19 continues to adversely impact the broader global economy, including negatively impacting economic growth and creating disruption and volatility in the global financial and capital markets, which could result in increases in the cost of capital and/or adversely impact the availability of and access to capital, which could negatively affect DuPont’s liquidity.
DuPont is unable to predict the extent of COVID-19 related impacts on its business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition which depends on highly uncertain and unpredictable future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, its severity, the emergence of new variants, actions taken in response, the efficacy and availability of vaccines, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume.

On November 1, 2023, the Company closed the sale of the Delrin® business to TJC LP ("TJC"), (the “Delrin® Divestiture”).
DuPont received cash proceeds of approximately $1.28 billion, which includes certain customary transaction adjustments, a note receivable of $350 million and acquired a 19.9 percent non-controlling equity interest in Derby Group Holdings LLC, (“Derby”).
The customary transaction adjustments related to $27 million of cash transferred with the Delrin® Divestiture for which DuPont was reimbursed at closing resulting in net cash proceeds of $1.25 billion.
TJC, through its subsidiaries, holds the 80.1 percent controlling interest in Derby.
The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 present the financial results of the Delrin® Divestiture through the November 1, 2023 transaction date, as discontinued operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the cash flows of the Delrin® Divestiture as discontinued operations.
In the comparative period, the cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 present the financial results of the M&M Businesses as discontinued operations.

The Retained Businesses are included in Corporate & Other.
Spectrum Acquisition
On August 1, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Spectrum Plastics Group (“Spectrum”) from AEA Investors (the “Spectrum Acquisition”).
Spectrum manufactures flexible packaging products, plastic and silicone extrusions, and components for the industrial, food and medical business sectors throughout the United States and international markets.
Spectrum is being integrated into the Electronics & Industrial segment.
The net purchase price was approximately $1,792 million, including a net upward adjustment of approximately $43.1 million for acquired cash and net working capital, among other items.
Laird PM has been integrated into the Electronic & Industrials segment.
[Table](#i351898e36c754d9d8c741ba1c4923915_7) [of](#i351898e36c754d9d8c741ba1c4923915_7) [Contents](#i351898e36c754d9d8c741ba1c4923915_7)
In 2023, DuPont continued to experience the impact of macroeconomic factors primarily involving channel inventory destocking and slower industrial demand in China.
The ultimate extent to which these macroeconomic factors will continue to impact DuPont's results is not known.
The global economy has been impacted in recent years by supply chain disruptions and inflationary cost pressures as well as the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The military conflict in the Ukraine did not have a significant impact on results in 2023.
The COVID-19 pandemic is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's businesses globally in the foreseeable future.
The pre-tax charges for the year ended December 31, 2023, are primarily driven by the definitive agreement reached in June 2023 by Chemours, Corteva, EIDP and DuPont to comprehensively resolve all PFAS-related claims of a defined class of U.S. public water systems, (the “Water District Settlement Agreement”) for $1.185 billion in cash to be paid to a Qualified Settlement Fund, (the “Water District Settlement Fund”) of which DuPont is responsible for $400 million.
DuPont’s $400 million contribution was made in the third quarter 2023 and is reflected in “Restricted cash and cash equivalents “on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023.
The increase in pre-tax charges also reflects the agreement by Chemours, Corteva and DuPont with the State of Ohio in which the three companies agreed to pay $110 million of which DuPont’s portion is $39 million.
The Ohio agreement triggers a supplemental payment of $25 million to the State of Delaware related to an agreement reached in 2021 of which the Company’s portion is $9 million.
[Table](#i351898e36c754d9d8c741ba1c4923915_7) [of](#i351898e36c754d9d8c741ba1c4923915_7) [Contents](#i351898e36c754d9d8c741ba1c4923915_7)
The remaining $250 million was completed in 2022 as part of the Company's $3.25B ASR Transaction discussed below.
In connection with the completion of the transaction, the remaining $613 million was settled as a forward contract indexed to DuPont common stock at the time of settlement, classified within stockholders’ equity.
At the completion of the $3.25B ASR Transaction, the Company had repurchased and retired a total of 46.8 million shares at an average price of $69.44 per share.
In the third quarter 2023, DuPont entered into an ASR agreement with three financial counterparties to repurchase an aggregate of $2.0 billion of common stock (the "$2B ASR Transaction").
DuPont paid an aggregate of $2.0 billion to the counterparties and received initial deliveries of 21.2 million shares in aggregate of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as a reduction to retained earnings of $1.6 billion.
The remaining $400 million was evaluated as an unsettled forward contract indexed to DuPont common stock, classified within stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023.
Subsequent to year end, in the first quarter of 2024, the accelerated share repurchase agreements under the $2B ASR Transaction were settled.
The settlement resulted in the delivery of 6.7 million additional shares of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and will be recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2024.
In total, the Company repurchased 27.9 million shares at an average price of $71.67 per share under the $2B ASR Transaction.
The completion of the $2B ASR Transaction completes the $5B Share Buyback Program and the Company's stock repurchase authorization.
Subsequent to year end, in the first quarter 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase and retirement of up to $1 billion of common stock (“the $1B Program”).
In the first quarter 2024, DuPont entered an ASR agreement with one counterparty for the repurchase of about $500 million of common stock; DuPont received initial deliveries in February 2024, of 6 million shares of common stock.
Final settlement is expected in the second quarter of 2024.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced a 1 percent nondeductible excise tax imposed on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022.
Effective with the signing of the Transaction Agreement, the Retained Businesses were realigned to Corporate & Other.
The reporting changes have been retrospectively applied for all periods presented.
Other Discontinued Operations Tax Matter
Subsequent to the Company’s earnings announcement on February 7, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment to the provision for income taxes related to Discontinued Operations and deferred income tax liabilities of Discontinued Operations (the “Tax Adjustment”).
The Tax Adjustment resulted in an increase of $70 million in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” and a decrease of $70 million in “Liabilities of discontinued operations” as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and a corresponding impact on net income.
The Tax Adjustment did not impact the results of Continuing Operations.
The Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information included in this annual report on Form 10-K reflect the Tax Adjustment.
Certain macroeconomic factors, including the inflationary cost environment and supply chain disruptions, along with the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its variants, continue to adversely impact the global economy, including certain suppliers of the Company’s key raw materials.
As a result of COVID-19, the Company qualified for a tax credit of payroll taxes under the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act as enhanced by the Consolidated Appropriations Act and American Rescue Plan Act.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded approximately $59 million of benefit to the ERC for full year 2020 and Q1 2021 payroll taxes previously paid.
The benefit was recorded as an offset to the Cost of Sales, Research and Development Expenses ("R&D") and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"), with a portion, approximately $7 million, of the benefit relating to discontinued operations.
The Company anticipates receiving a refund of the credit in 2023.
With respect to the war in the Ukraine, the Company’s business and operational environment is impacted by, among other things, responsive governmental actions including sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments.
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company exited substantially all business operations in Russia, the net sales from which were less than one percent of DuPont’s consolidated net sales in 2021.
In 2022, DuPont experienced supply chain challenges and increased logistics, raw material and energy costs due in part to the negative impact on the global economy from the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The extent to which the conflict may continue to impact DuPont in future periods will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflict, its impact on regional and global economic conditions, and the extent of supply chain disruptions.
DuPont will continue to monitor the conflict and assess the related sanctions and other effects and may take further actions if necessary.
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company's Board of Directors approved a $2 billion share buyback program, which expired on June 1, 2021.
At the expiry of the 2019 Share Buyback Program, the Company had repurchased and retired a total of 29.9 million shares at a cost of $2 billion.

*2021 versus 2020*
Portfolio and other changes and currency were flat.
Volume grew across all geographic regions and across all segments, most notably Electronics & Industrial (up 12 percent).
Local price and product mix increased across all regions and all segments with the exception of Electronics & Industrial and EMEA where it was flat.
Portfolio and other changes were flat overall as the July 1, 2021 acquisition of Laird PM in Electronics & Industrial (up 6 percent) was offset by the decline within Corporate & Other (down 15 percent) due to the sale of the Clean Technologies and Solamet® businesses.
The increase was partially offset by the absence of charges in the prior year associated with temporarily idling several manufacturing plants to align supply with demand due to COVID-19.
R&D expense in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was relatively consistent.
The slight decline in R&D expense in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to productivity actions.
The increase in SG&A costs in 2021 compared with 2020 was primarily due to incremental costs from higher personnel related expenses, currency fluctuations, and SG&A costs for six months of the Laird PM acquisition.
The increase in amortization expense in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the Laird PM Acquisition, partially offset by lower amortization due to the sale of the trichlorosilane business ("TCS Business") in the third quarter of 2020, as well as the classification of the Biomaterials and Clean Technologies business units as held for sale in the third quarter of 2020.
The charges for the year ended December 31, 2020 included a $270 million impairment charge related to long-lived assets and a $52 million impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible assets in Corporate & Other, a $318 million impairment charge related to long-lived assets and a $150 million charge related to the 2020 Restructuring Program.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, goodwill impairment charges of $1,862 million related to a business reported in Corporate & Other and the Industrial Solutions reporting unit.
The decrease in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the sale of DC HSC Holdings LLC and Hemlock Semiconductor L.L.C. (the "HSC Group") in the third quarter of 2020.
The year ended December 31, 2020 included a net pre-tax benefit of $396 million associated with the TCS/HSC Disposal, a pre-tax gain of $197 million related to the sale of the Compound Semiconductor Solutions business unit in the Electronics & Industrial segment, miscellaneous income of $24 million, and income related to non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit plans of $12 million, partially offset by foreign currency exchange losses of $54 million.
The effective tax rate differential was principally the result of the non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charges impacting Corporate & Other.
in the current and historical periods.
Mobility & Materials segment (the "Retained Businesses") are not in the scope of the M&M Divestitures.
The reporting changes have been retrospectively reflected for all periods presented.
2021 Versus 2020
Volume growth was driven by Industrial Solutions primarily due to increased demand in consumer electronics and healthcare markets.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY.
0 rewritten, 41 added, 0 removed, 0 unchanged
New section this year
Risk Management and Strategy
DuPont has implemented processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, which are integrated into the Company’s overall risk management systems and processes.
DuPont’s cybersecurity risk management program leverages the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework.
The Company regularly assesses the threat landscape and takes a holistic view of cybersecurity risks, with a layered cybersecurity strategy based on prevention, detection and containment.
The Company has other policies and procedures which directly or indirectly relate to cybersecurity, including those related to remote access monitoring, encryption standards, antivirus protection, multifactor authentication, confidential information and the use of the internet, social media, email and wireless devices.
The Company also engages third parties in connection with the assessment of its cybersecurity risk management processes against the NIST framework.
DuPont has dedicated Information Technology security professionals that form the DuPont Cyber Incident Response Team (“DCIRT”).
The DCIRT is led by our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) and is responsible for the detection and initial assessment of cybersecurity threats and incidents (collectively, “cyber incidents”), whether internal or experienced by significant third-party service providers, using, among other means, third-party software.
The DCIRT classifies detected cyber incidents into one of four categories based on potential impact to the functionality of the affected systems, possible or known information involved and recoverability effort.
The classification of a cyber incident is designed to allow rapid prioritization, response and escalation.
The CISO and the Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) are alerted as to any detected cyber incident that is potentially significant.
Incidents are documented for regular internal reporting processes including notations and considerations of related attacks.
The CIO and CISO are required to engage the Cybersecurity Incident Review Committee (“CIRC”), a subcommittee of the DuPont Disclosure Committee, if a cyber incident has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
The CIRC is engaged if, in the opinion of the DCIRT, based on information then-available, a cyber incident is, or it is reasonably possible it may be, classified in one of the highest two severity categories discussed above.
The CIRC includes membership representation from information technology, legal, finance, investor relations and internal audit and, if appropriate, the impacted business.
The CIRC is responsible for performing a materiality assessment, activating the Crisis Management Committee (“CMC”) when applicable, and overseeing the public disclosure of material cybersecurity matters, as appropriate.
The CIRC coordinates with the Company’s legal counsel and third parties, such as consultants and legal advisors, as needed.
The CMC is a standing committee comprised of senior management and reports to the CEO.
In the event the CMC is activated in relation to a cyber incident, the CEO is required by Board adopted policy to notify the Lead Director and any member of the Board of Directors identified as having cybersecurity expertise.
As part of preparatory and post-closing integration activities in connection with merger and acquisition activity, the Company: (i) conducts a cybersecurity risk threat assessment and when evidence of a breach is uncovered, conducts additional due diligence; (ii) based on the assessment, the Company develops and implements risk mitigation plans if needed and brings the acquisition under the Company’s cyber-attack/breach detection and response programs; and (iii) conducts an internal controls risk and compliance assessment and creates, as needed, responsive action plans intended to mitigate and remediate identified weaknesses in the control environment.
DuPont deploys annual cybersecurity training for employees and considers this a critical step in safeguarding the Company’s data and assets.
The training provides employees and contractors with a baseline understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals to prevent security breaches and safely identify potential threats.
The course includes enhancements to strengthen our defensive stance against the increasing number and sophistication of cyberattacks worldwide and includes interactive modules covering various areas, including insider attacks, phishing and email attacks, preventing malware attacks, data protection, data handling, passwords, cloud and internet security and cybersecurity fundamentals for mobile devices.
Like other major corporations, DuPont is the target of cyber-attacks from time to time.
However, risks from previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected, and are not reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
For additional information about risks related to cybersecurity, see "The Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected by interruption of the Company’s information technology or network systems and other business disruptions” in Item 1A.
Risk Factors of this Annual Report.
Governance
*Roles and Responsibilities*
Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for DuPont’s Board of Directors and management.
The CIO and the CISO are primarily responsible for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats.
The CIO has fifteen years of cybersecurity experience, including six years with DuPont, and the CISO has twenty-six years of cybersecurity experience, including one year with DuPont.
Each of the CIO and CISO maintain industry recognized credentials relevant to their roles.
The Board, acting through its committee structure, is responsible for overseeing management’s implementation and execution of the risk management process and for coordinating the outcome of reviews by Committees in their respective risk areas.
Although each Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of certain risks, the full Board is regularly informed by the Committees about these risks.
This helps enable the Board and the Committees to coordinate risk oversight and the relationships among the various risks faced by the Company, including cybersecurity risk.
The full Board is responsible for oversight of cybersecurity risk and receives regular reports from the CIO and the CISO.
The CIO and the CISO also present their assessment of material risks from cybersecurity threats to the Board at least annually.
The Audit Committee receives periodic reports regarding information technology general controls (“ITGC”) in connection with its oversight of internal control over financial reporting.
The impact, if any, of cyber incidents on internal control over financial reporting is also discussed with the full Board.

As of December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 that was conducted during the quarter ended December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The Company has completed its evaluation of its internal controls and has concluded that the Company's system of internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] (see page F-2).
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 excluded Spectrum Plastics Group, which was acquired by the Company in August 2023.
The total assets and total net sales of Spectrum Plastics Group excluded from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting represent less than 1 percent and less than 2 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting in the year of acquisition while integrating the acquired company under guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

*Goodwill impairment – Protection reporting unit*
Management performed quantitative testing on the Protection reporting unit using a combination of the discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approach) and the Guideline Public Company Method (a form of market approach).
As a result of the analysis performed, management concluded the carrying amount of the Protection reporting unit exceeded its fair value resulting in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $804 million.
As disclosed by management, under the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate.
Management uses internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and includes an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on its most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit.
Under the market approach, management applies the Guideline Public Company Method ("GPCM"), which uses projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and derived multiples from comparable market transactions.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment analysis, including controls over the valuation of the Protection reporting unit and controls over the development of the significant assumptions related to projected revenue, gross margins, SARD, capital expenditures, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rate, the tax rate and market multiples.

*Valuation of customer-related intangible asset - Spectrum Plastics Group acquisition*
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of Spectrum Plastics Group (“Spectrum”) for total consideration of $1,792 million on August 1, 2023, which resulted in $772 million of a customer-related intangible asset being recorded.
Fair value of the acquired customer-related intangible asset was determined by management using the multi-period excess earnings method.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the customer-related intangible asset acquired in the acquisition of Spectrum is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer-related intangible asset acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to projected revenue, net sales attributable to existing customers, EBITDA margin, customer attrition rate, discount rate, economic life and contributory asset charges; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer-related intangible asset and controls over the development of significant assumptions related to projected revenue, net sales attributable to existing customers, EBITDA margin, customer attrition rate, discount rate, economic life, and contributory asset charges.
These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for estimating the fair value of the customer-related intangible asset acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation method; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used by management in the valuation method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to projected revenue, net sales attributable to existing customers, EBITDA margin, customer attrition rate, discount rate, economic life, and contributory asset charges.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s valuation method and (ii) the reasonableness of customer attrition rate, discount rate, economic life and contributory asset charges assumptions.

*Goodwill impairment analyses for Mobility & Materials Divestitures disposal groups and certain reporting units resulting from the segment realignment and certain annual goodwill impairment analyses*
During the first quarter of 2022, in conjunction with the announcement of the divestiture of the majority of the historical Mobility & Materials (“M&M”) segment and the determination that certain historical M&M businesses (“M&M Divestitures disposal groups”) met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and presented as discontinued operations, the Company realigned certain reporting units previously reported within the historical M&M segment to Corporate & Other.
This announcement and the related realignment served as triggering events requiring management to perform impairment analyses related to goodwill carried by the impacted reporting units as of the announcement.
As part of the announcement and segment realignment, management assessed and re-aligned certain reporting units and M&M Divestitures disposal groups, including a reallocation of goodwill on a relative fair value basis, as applicable, to the newly identified reporting units and M&M Divestitures disposal groups.
Goodwill impairment analyses were then performed for the M&M Divestitures disposal groups and new reporting units reported within the Corporate & Other segment.
No impairments were identified as a result of the interim or annual impairment analyses described above.
Fair value of the reporting units and the M&M Divestitures disposal groups were estimated using a combination of an income approach and/or market approach.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment analyses, including controls over the valuation of the M&M Divestitures disposal groups and certain reporting units.
*Determination of the tax consequences of certain internal restructurings relating to the divestiture of the majority of the historical M&M business*
As described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed certain internal restructurings in connection with the divestiture of the majority of the M&M historical business which resulted in estimated income tax impacts from a United States federal and state and foreign jurisdiction perspective.
As disclosed by management, the determination of the estimated tax impacts required significant judgment by management regarding the application of tax laws and regulations.
Upon final resolution by the United States Internal Revenue Service or foreign tax authority through audit or litigation, the Company’s income tax calculations and related filing positions regarding certain elements of these transactions could be different, which could have a material impact on the Company.
The tax effect of these internal restructurings are included in the overall tax consequences of the M&M Divestiture.
The estimated tax impact of certain internal restructurings was calculated using valuations of components of legal entities and intellectual property, which involved the use of the income and/or market approach and assumptions, including, projected EBITDA, the weighted average costs of capital, royalty rates, capital expenditures, tax rate, and terminal growth rates for the income approach and projected EBITDA and market multiples for the market approach.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the determination of the tax consequences of certain internal restructurings relating to the divestiture of the majority of the historical M&M business is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgments made by management regarding the application of tax laws and regulations in determining the tax consequences of certain internal restructurings and in estimating the fair value of certain components of legal entities and intellectual property utilized in the internal restructurings; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the tax consequences of certain internal restructurings, the reasonableness of management’s estimates of the fair value of certain components of legal entities and intellectual property utilized in the internal restructurings, and management’s significant assumptions related to projected EBITDA, the weighted average costs of capital, royalty rates, capital expenditures, tax rate, and terminal growth rates for the income approach and projected EBITDA and market multiples for the market approach; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s determination of the tax consequences of certain internal restructurings relating to the divestiture of the majority of the historical M&M business, including controls relating to management’s estimates of the fair value of certain components of legal entities and intellectual property utilized in the internal restructurings.
These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating the information, including third party opinions, tax law, and other relevant evidence used by management to support its position regarding the tax consequences of the transactions; (ii) testing the information used in the calculation of the financial statement impact of the transactions, including testing management’s estimate of the fair value of certain components of legal entities and intellectual property utilized in the internal restructurings; and (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of management’s significant assumptions related to projected EBITDA, the weighted average costs of capital, royalty rates, capital expenditures, tax rate and terminal growth rates for the income approach and projected EBITDA and market multiples for the market approach.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of (i) the transactions and certain assertions from management; (ii) the application of relevant tax laws; and (iii) the Company’s income and/or market approaches and the evaluation of the reasonableness of management’s significant assumptions related to the weighted average costs of capital, royalty rates, terminal growth rates, and market multiples.
