Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Risks related to recent trade disputes, responsive actions, investigations by foreign governments, regulations and policies could have an adverse impact on our operations and reduce the competitiveness or availability of our products relative to local and global competitors.

Trade regulations, policies and disputes can and have increased tariffs and trade barriers, which can and have limited DuPont’s ability to sell certain products to certain customers, and have otherwise impacted its global supply and distribution chains and research and development activities, particularly those arising out of relations between the U.S. and China. The U.S. government recently announced tariffs on product imports from certain countries, including Canada, Mexico and China. These actions have resulted, and are expected to further result, in responsive actions by impacted countries on U.S. goods and companies. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on DuPont’s business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of merchandise, and DuPont’s buying organization’s ability to execute our merchandise sourcing model to offset the effects of the tariffs.

In addition, the Company is subject to export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations that restrict the delivery of some products and services to certain countries (and nationals thereof), to certain end users, and for certain end uses. These restrictions have and may in the future prohibit the transfer of certain of DuPont’s products, services and technologies, and have and may in the future require us to obtain a license from the U.S. government before delivering the controlled item or service. Obtaining export licenses may be difficult, costly and time-consuming, and DuPont may fail to receive licenses that it applies for on a timely basis or at all. The Company must also comply with export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations imposed by other countries. DuPont’s export and trade control compliance program may be ineffective or circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. Compliance with these laws could significantly limit the Company’s sales in the future.

Ultimately, changes in, and responses to, U.S. trade controls have the potential to reduce the competitiveness of DuPont products and cause sales to decline, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Such risks may be especially exacerbated as they relate to China and Hong Kong, a market that represented approximately 19 percent of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On April 4, 2025, the Company announced that it was aware of a report that the State Administration for Market Regulation of the People's Republic of China ("SAMR") has initiated an investigation in connection with the Company’s Tyvek® business. On July 22, 2025, SAMR announced it had suspended the antitrust investigation process. DuPont Tyvek® sales to China in full year 2024 were approximately $90 million, less than 1 percent of DuPont’s 2024 consolidated net sales.
