DuPontTM and all products, unless otherwise noted, denoted with TM, SM or ® are trademarks, service marks or registered trademarks of affiliates of DuPont de Nemours, Inc. ("DuPont" or the "Company").
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 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 New Arclin U.S. Holding Corp., 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.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this document may be considered forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “see”, “will”, “would”, “target”, “outlook”, “stabilization”, “confident”, “preliminary”, “initial”, “continue”, “may”, “could”, “project”, “estimate”, “forecast” and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain and subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, many of which are beyond DuPont's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. 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, contractual allocation to, and assumption by Qnity of certain liabilities, including certain legacy liabilities with respect to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and 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; (iii) risks and costs related to the impact of the arrangement to share future eligible PFAS costs by and among DuPont, Corteva, Inc. and The Chemours Company, including the outcome of pending or future litigation related to PFAS or PFOA, which includes personal injury claims and natural resource damages claims; the extent and cost of ongoing and potential future remediation obligations; and changes in laws and regulations applicable to PFAS chemicals; (iv) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with the Electronics Separation, the Aramids Divestiture and completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and other portfolio management, productivity and infrastructure actions; (v) risks and uncertainties that are outside the Company’s control but adversely impact the overall environment in which DuPont, its customers and/or its suppliers operate, including changes in economic, political, regulatory, international trade, geopolitical, military conflicts, capital markets and other external conditions, including pandemics and responsive actions, as well as natural and other disasters or weather-related events; (vi) the ability to offset increases in cost of inputs, including raw materials, energy and logistics; (vii) the risks and uncertainties associated with continuing or expanding geopolitical conflicts or trade disputes or restrictions and responsive actions, new or increased tariffs
or export controls, including on exports to China of U.S.-regulated products and technology; (viii) other risks to DuPont’s business and operations, including the risk of impairment; (ix) risks and uncertainties in connection with completing the $2 billion share buyback announced on November 6, 2025, including timeline, associated costs and the possibility that the authorization may be suspended or discontinued prior to completion; (x) the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Reverse Stock Split; (xi) the impact of the invalidation of certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and (xii) 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.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to enhance the understanding of the Company’s operations and present business environment. Components of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include:
-
Overview
-
Result of Operations
-
Segment Results
-
Changes in Financial Condition
OVERVIEW
DuPont is a leading provider of advanced solutions that improve everyday life across healthcare, water, construction and industrial markets. The Company is committed to helping customers advance their technology pipelines and provide solutions that address their unique challenges. From delivering clean water to enabling medical packaging solutions which enhance safety and performance, DuPont's innovations power the essential products and technologies people rely on every day.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $2.9 billion of working capital and approximately $1.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The Company expects its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and ability to access the debt capital markets to provide sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility to meet the liquidity requirements associated with its continuing operations.
Outlined below are material historical transactions and recent developments impacting this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Aramids Divestiture
On April 1, 2026, DuPont completed the sale of the Aramids business (the "Aramids Divestiture") to Arclin, a portfolio company of an affiliate of TJC LP, ("TJC"), in return 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 the New Arclin U.S. Holding Corp ("Arclin") that holds the Arclin global materials business and the Aramids business being divested. The financial results of the Aramids divested business are reflected in DuPont's interim Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations, along with comparative periods.
Electronics Separation
On November 1, 2025, the Company 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 results of operations of the Electronics Business are reflected in DuPont's interim Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations for all periods.
Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Split
On May 26, 2026, DuPont’s Board of Directors (the "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 approved by shareholders, and amended the Certificate of Incorporation to reflect a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on June 24, 2026. All share and share-related information presented in these interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted in all periods presented to reflect the decreased number of shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split and related impacts.
Macroeconomic Conditions
In February 2026, military conflict in the Middle East involving the United States, Israel, and Iran heightened geopolitical uncertainty. The Company does not have operations in Iran, and the conflict has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations to date. The impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations will depend on factors such as the severity and duration of the conflict, the scope and enforcement of related
governmental actions and the degree of disruption to global logistics and supply chains. The Company continues to monitor developments and assess potential impacts.
See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.
International Emergency Economic Powers Act Tariffs
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and the collecting agency subsequently ceased assessing those tariffs. While a refund process has been established, the ruling remains subject to further appeal by the U.S. government. Through June 30, 2026, the Company began to receive refunds and was notified the U.S. Treasury approved payment for the first phase of claim submissions, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of continuing operations. Further, in accordance with the Electronics Tax Matters Agreement, the Company shares with Qnity 44 percent of the refunds related to tariffs paid prior to November 1, 2025. The Company continues to monitor developments related to the ruling, the ultimate outcome of which could affect future results.
Dividends
On April 15, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a second quarter 2026 dividend of $0.60 per share, retrospectively adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, which was paid on May 29, 2026 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026.
On June 24, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2026 dividend of $0.60 per share, which is payable on September 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on August 31, 2026.
The Company expects to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

1.Organic sales (which includes both volume and selling price impacts), is defined as the change in net sales, absent the impacts from currency and portfolio. DuPont believes this information is useful to investors and management in understanding ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
The Company reported net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $1.8 billion, up 4 percent from $1.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to a 4 percent increase in organic sales. Organic sales increased in Healthcare & Water Technologies (up 4 percent) and Diversified Industrials (up 3 percent).
The Company reported net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $3.5 billion, up 4 percent from $3.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to a 3 percent increase in organic sales and a 1 percent favorable currency impact. Organic sales increased in Healthcare & Water Technologies (up 3 percent) and Diversified Industrials (up 2 percent). The currency impact was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, up slightly from $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflects increased sales volume.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was consistent at 65 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Cost of sales was $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, slightly up from $2.2 billion and June 30, 2025. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflects increased sales volume and productivity initiatives.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 65 percent and 66 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses ("R&D")
R&D expenses totaled $42 million in the second quarter of 2026, down from $53 million in the second quarter of 2025. R&D as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was relatively consistent at 2 percent compared with 3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
R&D expenses totaled $89 million in the first six months of 2026, down from $103 million in the first six months of 2025. R&D as a percentage of net sales was consistent period over period at 3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A expenses were $269 million in the second quarter of 2026, slightly up from $262 million in the second quarter of 2025. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was consistent period over period at 15 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
For the first six months of 2026, SG&A expenses were $524 million, up from $496 million in the first six months of 2025. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was consistent period over period at 15 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $68 million in the second quarter of 2026, down from $74 million in the second quarter of 2025. In the first six months of 2026, amortization of intangibles was $136 million, down from $149 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared with the same periods of the prior year was primarily due to the absence of amortization in the current period from fully amortized assets.
Restructuring and Asset Related (Benefits) Charges - Net
Restructuring and asset related (benefits) charges – net were $3 million of benefits and $43 million of charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily reflecting activity related to the 2026 DuPont Restructuring Program. Comparatively, Restructuring and asset related (benefits) charges – net for the first six months of 2025 were $39 million, primarily reflecting charges related to the Transformational Separation-Related Restructuring Program during the first quarter of 2025. See Note 5 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Acquisition, Integration and Separation Costs
Acquisition, integration and separation costs primarily consist of financial advisory, information technology, legal, accounting, consulting, other professional advisory fees, other contractual transaction payments and certain costs to achieve cost savings targets following the Electronics Separation and the Aramids Divestiture. The Company recorded $7 million in costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily related to costs to achieve cost savings targets following the Aramids Divestiture and Electronics Separation. Comparatively, the Company recorded $55 million and $105 million in costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which were primarily related to preparations for the Electronics Separation and Aramids Divestiture.
Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Nonconsolidated Affiliates
The Company's share of earnings from nonconsolidated affiliates was flat at $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. In the first six months of 2026, the Company's share of earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates was $8 million. The Company's share of loss of nonconsolidated affiliates was $6 million first six months of 2025. The increase in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates over the six month periods was primarily driven by higher equity earnings from Derby in the first six months of 2026 compared to 2025.

Sundry Income (Expense) – Net
Sundry income (expense) – net includes a variety of income and expense items such as foreign currency exchange gains or losses, interest income, dividends from investments, gains and losses on sales of investments, losses on debt extinguishments and assets, non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit plan credits or costs, interest rate swap mark-to-market adjustments, interest rate swap net interest settlement and certain litigation matters.
Sundry income (expense) – net in the second quarter of 2026 was income of $42 million compared with expense of $9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in income was primarily driven by the absence of a non-cash mark-to-market loss related to the 2022 Swaps and 2024 Swaps, as well as foreign exchange gains in 2026 compared to losses in the prior-year period. Sundry income (expense) - net for the first six months of 2026 was income of $78 million, compared with income of $91 million in the first six months of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the absence of a non-cash mark-to-market gain related to the 2022 Swaps and 2024 Swaps, offset by a foreign exchange gains in 2026 compared to losses in the prior-year period. See Notes 6 and 17 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $41 million and $84 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $81 million and $167 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest expense from the prior year for both periods is primarily due to the changes in capital structure during 2025 as a result of the Electronics Separation, partially offset by a reduction in capitalized interest and interest expense from the interest rate swap.
Provision for Income Taxes on Continuing Operations
The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, where income is earned and the level of income relative to tax attributes. The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the second quarter of 2026 was 28.2 percent, compared with an effective tax rate of 69.2 percent for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2026, compared with 2025, was primarily due to transaction-related items recognized in 2025. For the first six months of 2026, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 23.7 percent, compared with 40.6 percent for the first six months of 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2026, compared with 2025, was primarily due to transaction-related items recognized in 2025.
SEGMENT RESULTS
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 / other post-employment benefits ("OPEB") / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, excluding costs related to activities the Company will or continues to undertake post-closing of the Aramids Divestiture and Electronics Separation, and for which it is or will be reimbursed ("Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs"), environmental remediation costs, including certain investigate, remediate and restoration costs, associated with discontinued or divested operations, businesses or product lines ("Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs"), and is adjusted for significant items.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity & Capital Resources
Information related to the Company's liquidity and capital resources can be found in the Company's 2025 Annual Report, Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources. The discussion below provides the updates to this information for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The Company continually reviews its sources of liquidity and debt portfolio and may make adjustments to one or both to help ensure adequate liquidity and increase the Company’s optionality and financing efficiency as it relates to financing cost and balancing terms/maturities. The Company’s primary source of incremental liquidity is cash flows from operating activities. Management expects the generation of cash from operations and the ability to access the debt capital markets and other sources of liquidity will continue to provide sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility to meet the Company’s and its subsidiaries' obligations as they come due. However, DuPont is unable to predict the extent of macroeconomic related impacts which depend on uncertain and unpredictable future developments. In light of this uncertainty, the Company has taken steps to further ensure liquidity and capital resources, as discussed below.
| In millions | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,740 | $ | 715 | ||||
| Total debt | $ | 3,125 | $ | 3,194 |
The Company's cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $1.7 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, of which approximately $0.8 billion and $0.6 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories. For each of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company makes an assertion regarding the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance available to be repatriated to the United States. Due to the Electronics Separation, the Company reevaluated its permanent reinvestment assertion and determined that certain foreign earnings would be repatriated to the United States. Refer to subsequent paragraphs for drivers of the change in cash and cash equivalents.
Total debt at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $3,125 million and $3,194 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the commercial paper borrowing and the mark-to-market impact of the redesignated interest rate swap.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company is contractually obligated to make future cash payments of $3.2 billion and $2.0 billion associated with principal and interest, respectively, on debt obligations. Related to the principal, all payments will be due subsequent to 2026. Related to interest, $165 million will be due in the next twelve months, and the remainder will be due subsequent to June 30, 2027. The majority of interest obligations will be due in 2031 or later.
Revolving Credit Facilities
In May 2026, the Company entered into a $750 million 364-day revolving credit facility (the "2026 $750 million Revolving Credit Facility"). Prior to entering the new facility, the Company held a $1 billion 364-day revolving credit facility that expired in May 2026. There were no drawdowns of either facility during the six month period ended June 30, 2026. The new 2026 $750 million Revolving Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes.
In May 2026, the Company entered into a $2 billion five-year revolving credit facility (the "2026 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility"). Prior to entering the new facility, the Company held another $2 billion five-year revolving credit facility that was terminated when the 2026 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility became effective. There were no drawdowns of either facility during the six month period ended June 30, 2026. The new 2026 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility serves as a backstop to the Company's commercial paper and letter of credit issuance.
New Jersey Settlement Agreement
In August 2025, DuPont together with Chemours and Corteva agreed to a proposed Judicial Consent Order with the State of New Jersey (the "NJ Settlement") to resolve all outstanding claims by the State of New Jersey pending against the companies related to legacy use of a wide variety of substances of concern, including, but not limited to DNAPL (dense non-aqueous phase liquids), chemical solvents, and PFAS. The NJ Settlement is subject to approval from the Federal District Court of New Jersey (Camden), (the "NJ Court"). The NJ Settlement is subject to the entry of a Judicial Consent Order ("JCO") by the NJ Court. It is payable over 25 years. DuPont's initial payment will be due within 30 days of the entry of the JCO.
Contingent upon the NJ Settlement being approved by the NJ Court, DuPont and Corteva will purchase Chemours’ interest in future, if any, insurance proceeds related to PFAS claims. DuPont and Corteva will make the purchase by contributing a total of
$150 million ($106.5 million from DuPont, $43.5 million from Corteva) into an escrow fund to be applied to Chemours’ share of the NJ Settlement. See Note 13 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Pursuant to the Legacy Liabilities Assignment Agreement, 44 percent of any funding obligations related to the NJ Settlement will be contractually allocated to Qnity (and for which Qnity will indemnify the Company). See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Credit Ratings
The Company's credit ratings impact its access to the debt capital markets and cost of capital. The Company remains committed to maintaining a strong financial position with a balanced financial policy focused on maintaining a strong investment-grade rating and driving shareholder value. At July 31, 2026, DuPont's credit ratings were as follows:
| Credit Ratings | Long-Term Rating | Short-Term Rating | Outlook | ||||||||
| Standard & Poor’s | BBB+ | A-2 | Stable | ||||||||
| Moody’s Investors Service | Baa1 | P-2 | Stable | ||||||||
| Fitch Ratings | BBB+ | F-2 | Stable |
The Company's indenture covenants include customary limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and mergers and consolidations, subject to certain limitations. The 2026 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility and the 2026 $750 million Revolving Credit Facility each contain a financial covenant, typical for companies with similar credit ratings, requiring that the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with this financial covenant.
Summary of Cash Flows
The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities from continuing operations and cash used in discontinued operations, as reflected in the interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table.
| Cash Flow Summary | Six Months Ended | |||||||
| In millions | June 30, 2026 | June 30, 2025 | ||||||
| Cash provided by (used for) continuing operations: | ||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 632 | $ | 151 | ||||
| Investing activities | $ | 989 | $ | (165) | ||||
| Financing activities | $ | (425) | $ | (373) | ||||
| Cash (used in) provided by discontinued operations | $ | (167) | $ | 330 | ||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (7) | $ | 44 | ||||
Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities – Continuing Operations
In the first six months of 2026, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $632 million, compared with $151 million in the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations is primarily due to higher earnings and improvements in net working capital.
The table below reflects net working capital on a continuing operations basis:
| Net Working Capital | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| In millions (except ratio) | ||||||||
| Current assets | $ | 4,856 | $ | 3,719 | ||||
| Current liabilities | 2,001 | 1,991 | ||||||
| Net working capital | $ | 2,855 | $ | 1,728 | ||||
| Current ratio | 2.43:1 | 1.87:1 |
Cash Flows provided by (used for) Investing Activities – Continuing Operations
In the first six months of 2026, cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations was $989 million, compared with cash used for investing activities of $165 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily driven by the proceeds from the Aramids Divestiture.
Cash Flows used for Financing Activities – Continuing Operations
In the first six months of 2026, cash used for financing activities of continuing operations was $425 million compared with cash used of $373 million in the same period last year. The increase in cash used for financing activities of continuing operations is primarily attributable to cash used to repay commercial paper borrowings and share buyback activities, partially offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock and lower dividends paid to stockholders in 2026.
Cash Flows provided by (used in) Discontinued Operations
In the first six months of 2026 cash used in discontinued operations was $167 million compared with cash provided by discontinued operations of $330 million in the same period last year. The activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 presents the cash flows of the Aramids Business as discontinued operations. The activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025 presents the cash flows of the Aramids Business and the Electronics Business as discontinued operations. Cash used from discontinued operations includes MOU activity, refer to Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Dividends
On February 19, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2026 dividend of $0.60 per share, retrospectively adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, which was paid on March 16, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 2, 2026.
On April 15, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a second quarter 2026 dividend of $0.60 per share, retrospectively adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, which was paid on May 29, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026.
On June 24, 2026, the Company announced that its Board declared a third quarter 2026 dividend of $0.60 per share payable on September 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on August 31, 2026.
The Company expects to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Share Buyback Programs
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the $2B Authorization. Under the $2B Authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions off market, including accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") transactions. The $2B Authorization will terminate once the authorized amount of shares have been repurchased and retired or when terminated by the Board of Directors. In the fourth quarter of 2025, DuPont entered into an ASR agreement with one counterparty for repurchase of about $500 million of common stock ("Q4 2025 ASR Transaction"). DuPont paid an aggregate of $500 million to the counterparty, whereby the counterparty is required to deliver a variable number of shares to the Company. DuPont received initial deliveries of 3.4 million shares of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as an increase to accumulated deficit of $400 million.
In January 2026, the Q4 2025 ASR Transaction was completed. The settlement resulted in the delivery of approximately 0.7 million shares of additional DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as an increase to accumulated deficit of approximately $90 million. In total, the Company repurchased 4.1 million shares at an average price of $122.66 per share under the Q4 2025 ASR Transaction.
On May 5, 2026, the Company launched an accelerated share repurchase transaction under the $2B Authorization to repurchase $275 million, in aggregate, of common stock ("Q2 2026 ASR Transaction"). In the same month, the Q2 2026 ASR Transaction was completed. The Q2 2026 ASR transaction resulted in the delivery of approximately 1.8 million shares of additional DuPont common stock at a price per share of $148.91, which were retired immediately and recorded as an increase to accumulated deficit of approximately $270 million.
On August 4, 2026, the Company announced that it expects to repurchase $250 million, in aggregate, of common stock under the $2B Authorization during the third quarter of 2026.
Pension and Other Post-Employment Plans
DuPont expects to make additional contributions in the aggregate of approximately $31 million by year-end 2026 to pension and other post-employment benefit plans. Any such contribution could be funded by existing cash balances and/or cash from other available sources of liquidity.
Restructuring and Other Cost Savings
In February 2026, the Company committed to a plan aimed at reducing costs, streamlining operations, and aligning its organizational and cost structure with its strategic priorities (the "2026 DuPont Restructuring Program"). Anticipated pre-tax restructuring charges and asset related charges and other cost savings of approximately $100 million to $150 million, starting in the first quarter of 2026 and continuing through 2028, are expected under the program. The Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $51 million inception-to-date, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $50 million and $1 million of asset related charges. Total current liabilities related to the Company's plan to reduce costs, streamline operations, and align its organizational and cost structure with its strategic priorities were $39 million at June 30, 2026 recognized in "Accrued and other current liabilities" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncurrent liabilities related to the 2026 DuPont Restructuring Program totaled $6 million and were recognized in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects the program to be substantially complete by the end of 2028.
In March 2025, the Company approved targeted restructuring actions to streamline, right-size and optimize specific organizational structures in preparation for the Electronics Separation and the future structure of DuPont (the "Transformational Separation-Related Restructuring Program"). The Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $61 million inception-to-date, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $50 million, $6 million of asset related charges and $5 million of accelerated restricted stock compensation expense. Total liabilities related to the Transformational Separation-Related Restructuring Program were $16 million at June 30, 2026 recognized in "Accrued and other current liabilities" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects the program to be substantially complete in 2026.
See Note 5 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company's restructuring programs.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See Note 17 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. See also Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information on the Company's utilization of financial instruments and an analysis of the sensitivity of these instruments.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, as its principal executive officer ("CEO"), and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, as its principal 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. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that was conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Environmental Proceedings
The Company believes it is remote that the following matters will have a material impact on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
New Jersey PFAS Directive
This matter is resolved by the proposed Judicial Consent Order with the State of New Jersey reached in August 2025. See Note 13 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Spruance Site, Richmond, Virginia-EPA Notice to Show Cause
On March 25, 2025, Region 3 of Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued a Notice to Show Cause letter to the Company’s Spruance facility in Richmond, Virginia. The letter alleged that the Company violated the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act relating to the storage of hazardous waste at the site as well as alleged discharges of hazardous waste to the subsurface groundwater from an on-site impoundment. The Company is engaged in discussions with the EPA regarding this matter.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than updates to 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, 2025.
Supply chain and operational disruptions, including those that affect the Company's customers and suppliers, could significantly increase costs and expenses, adversely impact the Company’s sales and earnings and impact access to sources of liquidity.
DuPont’s operations require the continued availability of energy and raw materials and rely on third-party suppliers, contract manufacturers and service providers. The Company’s supply chains are complex and extend across multiple countries in all regions of the world, and, therefore, are subject to global economic and geopolitical dynamics and risks including military conflicts (such as those in the Middle East) and related governmental actions.
Supply chain and operational disruptions, plant and/or power outages, labor shortages and/or strikes, geo-political activity, weather events and natural disasters, manmade disasters, perceived or actual global health risks or pandemics, governmental, legislative or regulatory actions (including sanctions, trade restrictions or transportation limitations), or other business continuity events, could adversely affect the Company's operations as well as the operations of its customers and suppliers. Such events, including the conflict in the Middle East, may contribute to volatility or disruptions to the global energy markets, increased costs or shortages of raw materials, and constraints on global logistics and transportation routes. Depending on the length and severity of disruption, DuPont's ability to meet demand and its commitments to customers and suppliers; and access the liquidity markets could be seriously impacted and adversely affect the Company's operating profit or cash flows. In addition, the Company’s suppliers may experience capacity limitations in their own operations or may elect to reduce or eliminate certain product lines. 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. 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 other things, negotiated long-term contracts some which include minimum purchase obligations. However, there can be no assurance that such mitigation efforts will prevent future difficulty in obtaining sufficient and timely delivery of certain raw materials.
DuPont takes actions to offset the effects of higher energy and raw material costs, which are subject to global supply and demand and other factors beyond the Company's control, through selling price increases, productivity improvements and cost reduction programs. Success in offsetting higher raw material costs with price increases is largely influenced by competitive and economic conditions and could vary significantly depending on the market served. As a result, volatility or sustained increases in these costs may negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
DuPont’s financial results may be materially and adversely impacted by a variety of factors that have not yet been determined, including potential impairments of goodwill and other assets. DuPont, when necessary, will take actions, including reducing costs, restructuring actions, and delaying certain capital expenditures and non-essential spend. In addition, the Company may consider reductions in force or furloughing operations in response to declines in demand and/or supply chain disruptions. There can be no guarantee that such actions would significantly mitigate the impact on the company’s business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity or financial condition and the Company may experience materially adverse impacts to its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as a result of related global economic impacts, including inflationary pressures that have occurred and may continue to occur in the future.
