FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This communication contains "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. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," "target," and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words.

Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain and subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which that 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) in connection with the Intended Rogers Acquisition, the failure to (x) obtain the necessary approval from Rogers shareholders, regulatory approvals, or anticipated tax treatment, or (y) satisfy any of the other conditions to closing; (ii) the possibility that unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies could impact the value, timing or pursuit of the closing of the Intended Rogers Acquisition; (iii) the timing and outcome of the In-Scope M&M Divestiture Process and the risks, costs and ability to realize benefits from the pursuit of any disposition of the In-Scope M&M Businesses resulting therefrom; (iv) the ability to achieve expected benefits, synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the Laird PM Acquisition within the expected time frames or at all or to successfully integrate Laird PM; (v) ability to achieve anticipated tax treatments in connection with the N&B Transaction, Laird PM

Acquisition or the DWDP Distributions; (vi) changes in relevant tax and other laws; (vii) indemnification of certain legacy liabilities of EID in connection with the Corteva Distribution; (viii) risks and costs related to the performance under and impact of the cost sharing arrangement by and between DuPont, Corteva and The Chemours Company related to future eligible PFAS costs; (ix) failure to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, joint ventures and other portfolio changes, including meeting conditions under the Letter Agreement entered in connection with the Corteva Distribution, related to the transfer of certain levels of assets and businesses; (x) uncertainty as to the long-term value of DuPont common stock; (xi) risks and uncertainties related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the responses thereto (such as voluntary and in some cases, mandatory quarantines as well as shut downs and other restrictions on travel and commercial, social and other activities) on DuPont’s business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition which depend on highly uncertain and unpredictable future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume; and (xii) other risks to DuPont's business, operations; each as further discussed in detail in and results of operations as discussed in DuPont’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. 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. You should not place undue reliance 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which are considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Results from interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for the full year. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2021, collectively referred to as the "Recast 2020 Annual Report," which was filed in order to recast the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect the presentation of the N&B Business as discontinued operations and to reflect the changes in the Company's reportable segments. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained.

Basis of Presentation
Effective August 31, 2017, pursuant to the merger of equals transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017 ("Merger Agreement"), The Dow Chemical Company ("TDCC") and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("EID") each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont Inc. ("DowDuPont") and, as a result, TDCC and EID became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the "DWDP Merger"). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term "TDCC" includes TDCC and its consolidated subsidiaries and "EID" includes EID and its consolidated subsidiaries.

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the separation of the materials science business through the spin-off of Dow Inc., (“Dow”) including Dow’s subsidiary TDCC (the “Dow Distribution”). On June 1, 2019, the Company completed the separation of the agriculture business through the spin-off of Corteva, Inc. (“Corteva”) including Corteva’s subsidiary EID, (the “Corteva Distribution" and together with the Dow Distribution, the “DWDP Distributions”).

Following the Corteva Distribution, DuPont holds the specialty products business as continuing operations. On June 1, 2019, DowDuPont changed its registered name from "DowDuPont Inc." to "DuPont de Nemours, Inc." doing business as "DuPont." Beginning on June 3, 2019, the Company's common stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "DD."

N&B Transaction
On February 1, 2021, DuPont completed the separation and distribution of the Nutrition & Biosciences business segment (the "N&B Business"), and the merger of Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. (“N&B”), a DuPont subsidiary formed to hold the N&B Business, with a subsidiary of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. ("IFF"). The distribution was effected through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) and the consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B with a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF (the “N&B Merger” and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “N&B Transaction”). See Note 3 for more information.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS
On July 1, 2021, DuPont completed the acquisition (the "Laird PM Acquisition") of 100% of the ownership interest of Laird Performance Materials (“Laird PM”) from Advent International for aggregate, adjusted cash consideration of approximately $2,404 million. The cash consideration paid included a net upward adjustment of approximately $100 million for acquired cash and net working capital, among other items. Laird PM is a leader in high-performance electromagnetic shielding and thermal management solutions. Laird PM is being integrated into the Interconnect Solutions business within the Electronics & Industrial segment, in order to enhance the Company's position in advanced electronics applications. The Company accounted for the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The table below presents the provisional fair values allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase accounting and purchase price allocation for Laird PM are substantially complete. However, the Company continues to refine the preliminary valuation of certain acquired assets and liabilities, including income tax related amounts, which could impact the amount of residual goodwill recorded. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as it obtains the information necessary to complete the analysis, but no later than one year from the date of the acquisition. Final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented in the following table:

Total Liabilities$353 
Net Assets (Consideration for Laird PM)$2,404 

The significant fair value adjustments included in the provisional allocation of purchase price are discussed below.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is comprised of machinery and equipment of $67 million, buildings and building improvements of $18 million, leasehold improvements of $10 million, construction in progress of $5 million and land and land improvements of $4 million. The preliminary estimated fair value was primarily determined using a market approach for land and certain types of equipment, and a replacement cost approach for the remaining depreciable property, plant and equipment. The market approach for certain types of equipment represents a sales comparison that measures the value of an asset through an analysis of sales and offerings of comparable assets. The replacement cost approach used for all other depreciable property, plant and equipment measures the value of an asset by estimating the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets and adjusts for age and condition of the asset.

Table of Contents
Goodwill
The excess of the consideration for Laird PM over the preliminary net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the provisional recognition of $1,219 million of goodwill, which has been assigned to the Electronics & Industrial segment. Goodwill is attributable to Laird PM’s assembled workforce and expected cost synergies to be obtained through procurement efficiencies and the optimization of the combined the Electronics & Industrial segment and Laird PM businesses’ global activities across sales, manufacturing, research & development, and administrative functions.

Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets with definite lives include acquired customer-related intangible assets of $840 million, developed technology of $290 million and trademark/tradename of $30 million. Acquired customer-related intangible assets, developed technology, and trademark/tradename have useful lives of 14 years, 8 years, and 3 years, respectively. The preliminary customer-related intangible assets' fair value was determined using the excess earnings method while the preliminary developed technology and trademark/tradename fair values were determined utilizing the relief from royalty method.

Total sales included in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are $131 million. The Company evaluated the disclosure requirements under ASC 805 and determined Laird PM was not considered a material business combination for purposes of disclosing the earnings of Laird PM since the date of acquisition or
supplemental pro forma information.

NOTE 3 - DIVESTITURES
N&B Transaction
On February 1, 2021, DuPont completed the separation and distribution of the N&B Business, and merger of N&B, a subsidiary DuPont formed to hold the N&B Business, with a subsidiary of IFF. The distribution was effected through an exchange offer where, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, eligible participating DuPont stockholders had the option to tender all, some or none of their shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DuPont (the “DuPont Common Stock”) for a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of N&B (the “N&B Common Stock”) and which resulted in all shares of N&B Common Stock being distributed to DuPont stockholders that participated in the Exchange Offer. The consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B with a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF (the “N&B Merger” and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “N&B Transaction”). The N&B Transaction was subject to IFF shareholder approval, customary regulatory approvals, tax authority rulings including a favorable private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service which confirms the N&B Transaction to be free of U.S. federal income tax, and expiration of the public exchange offer. DuPont does not have an ownership interest in IFF as a result of the N&B Transaction.

In the Exchange Offer, DuPont accepted approximately 197.4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for about 141.7 million shares of N&B Common Stock as of the date of the N&B Transaction. As a result, DuPont reduced its common stock outstanding by 197.4 million shares of DuPont Common Stock. In the N&B Merger, each share of N&B Common Stock was automatically converted into the right to receive one share of IFF common stock, par value $0.125 per share, based on the terms of the N&B Merger Agreement.

The results of operations of N&B are presented as discontinued operations as summarized below:

In connection with the N&B Transaction and in accordance with the terms of the N&B Transaction Agreements, defined below, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer and the N&B Merger, DuPont received a one-time cash payment of approximately $7.3 billion, (the "Special Cash Payment"), which is subject to post closing adjustment pursuant to the terms of the N&B Separation & Distribution Agreement. The special cash payment was partially funded by an offering of $6.25 billion of senior unsecured notes (the “N&B Notes Offering”). The net proceeds of approximately $6.2 billion from the N&B Notes Offering were deposited into an escrow account and at December 31, 2020, are reflected as restricted cash in the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In order to fund the remainder of the Special Cash Payment, on February 1, 2021, N&B borrowed $1.25 billion under a senior unsecured term loan agreement (the "N&B Term Loan"). The obligations and liabilities associated with the N&B Notes Offering and the N&B Term Loan were separated from the Company on February 1, 2021 upon consummation of the N&B Transaction. The obligations and liabilities of $6.2 billion associated with the N&B Notes Offering are classified as "Liabilities of discontinued operations" in the Company's interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020.

The Company recognized a non-taxable gain of approximately $4,940 million on the N&B Transaction. The gain is recorded in "(Loss) Income from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the Company's interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Assets Held for Sale
In October 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Biomaterials business unit, which includes the Company's equity method investment in DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products. The sale of the Biomaterials business unit is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to close within one year. In January 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Clean Technologies business, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021. These divestitures are expected to generate in aggregate pre-tax cash proceeds of about $750 million. The Company also signed a non-binding letter in March 2021 with the intent to sell Chestnut Run labs, a portion of the Company's Chestnut Run campus. This transaction is expected to close within one year.

The assets and liabilities associated with the Biomaterials and Clean Technologies businesses, as well as Chestnut Run labs, remain classified as held for sale at September 30, 2021. The results of operations of the Biomaterials and Clean Technologies businesses are reported in Corporate.

NOTE 4 - REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
Products
Substantially all of DuPont's revenue is derived from product sales. Product sales consist of sales of DuPont's products to supply manufacturers and distributors. DuPont considers purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year.

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by segment and business or major product line and geographic region, as the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows.

On February 1, 2021, the Company realigned and renamed certain businesses as part of the 2021 Segment Realignment resulting in changes to its management and reporting structure (see Note 23 for additional details). In conjunction with the 2021 Segment Realignment, DuPont made the following changes to its major product lines:
Within Electronics & Industrial (formerly known as Electronics & Imaging) realigned product lines to include businesses formerly in Transportation & Industrial and renamed the Image Solutions product lines as Industrial Solutions;
Renamed Safety & Construction as Water & Protection;
Realigned certain businesses from the former Non-Core segment and renamed product lines within Mobility & Materials (formerly known as Transportation & Industrial) as Advanced Solutions, Engineering Polymers, and Performance Resins.

DowDuPont Cost Synergy Program
In September and November 2017, the Company approved post-merger restructuring actions under the DowDuPont Cost Synergy Program (the "Synergy Program"), which was designed to integrate and optimize the organization following the DWDP Merger and in preparation for the DWDP Distributions. The Company has recorded pre-tax restructuring charges attributable to the continuing operations of DuPont of $345 million inception-to-date, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $137 million, asset related charges of $159 million and contract termination charges of $49 million.

Total liabilities related to the Synergy Program were $8 million at September 30, 2021 and $20 million at December 31, 2020, respectively, and recorded in "Accrued and other current liabilities" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Synergy Program is considered substantially complete.

Other Restructuring Actions
In October 2021, the Company approved targeted restructuring actions to capture near term cost reductions. The Company expects to incur costs of up to $75 million primarily related to the payment of severance and related benefits and asset related charges, the majority of which are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Asset Impairments
In the third quarter of 2020, the TCS/HSC Disposal, as well as further softening conditions in the aerospace markets, gave rise to fair value indicators and, thus, served as triggering events requiring the Company to perform a recoverability assessment related to asset groups within its Photovoltaic and Advanced Materials (“PVAM”) business unit. The Company first performed a long-lived asset impairment test and determined that, based on undiscounted cash flows, the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets was not recoverable. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair value of these assets using both an income approach and a market approach utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. As a result, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $318 million ($242 million net of tax) in the Mobility and Materials segment recorded within “Restructuring and asset related charges - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 with the charge impacting definite-lived intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment.

Additionally, the Company recorded a pre-tax asset impairment charge of $52 million ($39 million net of tax) in the third quarter of 2020 related to indefinite-lived intangible assets reflected in Corporate which were deemed no longer recoverable as a result of the Held for Sale Disposal Group classification (refer to Note 3 for additional information). The charge was recorded within “Restructuring and asset related charges – net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $21 million pre-tax impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Mobility & Materials segment. This charge was recorded within “Restructuring and asset related charges - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 13 for further discussion.

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable and may exceed their fair value. For purposes of determining impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2020, expectations of proceeds related to certain potential divestitures within Corporate gave rise to fair value indicators and, thus, triggering events requiring the Company to perform a recoverability assessment related to its Biomaterials business unit. The Company performed a long-lived asset impairment test and determined that, based on undiscounted cash flows, the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets was not recoverable. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair value of these assets using a market approach utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. As a result, the Company recognized a $270 million pre-tax impairment charge recorded within “Restructuring and asset related charges - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 with the charge impacting definite-lived intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
At December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $6.2 billion recorded within non-current “Restricted cash and cash equivalents” in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The restricted cash relates to net proceeds received from an offering of $6.25 billion of senior unsecured notes (the "N&B Notes Offering") associated with the N&B transaction. On February 1, 2021 this amount was released from escrow as part of the N&B Transaction and is no longer restricted. The liability from the N&B Notes Offering was classified as "Liabilities of discontinued operations" in the Company's interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Company's divestiture of the N&B business.

In connection with the cost sharing arrangement entered into as part of the MOU, the Company is contractually obligated to make deposits into an escrow account to address potential future PFAS costs. At September 30, 2021, the Company had restricted cash attributable to the cost sharing arrangement of $50 million included within non-current “Restricted cash and cash equivalents” in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional information regarding the MOU and the escrow account can be found in Note 15 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accrued and Other Current Liabilities
"Accrued and other current liabilities" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $1,335 million at September 30, 2021 and $1,085 million at December 31, 2020. Accrued payroll, which is a component of "Accrued and other current liabilities," was $480 million at September 30, 2021. No other component of "Accrued and other current liabilities" was more than 5 percent of total current liabilities at September 30, 2021 and no component was more than 5 percent of total current liabilities at December 31, 2020.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
Each year the Company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the Company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The ultimate resolution of such uncertainties is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of 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 third quarter of 2021 was 22.4 percent, compared with an effective tax rate of 58.7 percent for the third quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was principally the result of a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge and a non-tax-deductible goodwill allocation in connection with the TCS/HSC Disposal impacting Corporate.

For the first nine months of 2021, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 16.7 percent, compared with (8.5) percent for the first nine months of 2020. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 was principally the result of a $59 million tax benefit related to the step-up in tax basis in the goodwill of the Company’s European regional headquarters legal entity. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was principally the result of a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge impacting Corporate in the first and third quarter and a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge impacting the Mobility & Materials and Industrial Solutions reporting units in the second quarter, coupled with an allocation of non-tax-deductible goodwill related to the TCS/HSC Disposal.

In connection with the integration of Laird PM, the Company completed certain internal restructurings that were determined to be tax free under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. If the aforementioned transactions were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the Company could be subject to significant tax liability.

Certain internal distributions and reorganizations that occurred in preparation for the N&B Transaction qualified as tax-free transactions under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. If the aforementioned transactions were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the Company could be subject to significant tax liability. In connection with the closing of the N&B Transaction, DuPont, N&B and IFF entered into the N&B Tax Matters Agreement. Under the N&B Tax Matters Agreement, the Company would generally be allocated such liability and not be indemnified, unless certain non-qualifying actions are undertaken by N&B or IFF. To the extent that the Company is responsible for any such liability, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future reporting periods.

For periods between the DWDP Merger and the DWDP Distributions, DuPont's consolidated federal income tax group and consolidated tax return included the Dow and Corteva entities. Generally, the consolidated tax liability of the DuPont U.S. tax group for each year was apportioned among the members of the consolidated group in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated Tax Matters Agreement, between DuPont, Corteva and Dow, effective as of April 1, 2019 (the “Amended and Restated DWDP Tax Matters Agreement”). DuPont, Corteva and Dow intend that to the extent Federal and/or State corporate income tax liabilities are reduced through the utilization of tax attributes of the other, settlement of any receivable and payable generated from the use of the other party’s sub-group attributes will be in accordance with the Amended and Restated DWDP Tax Matters Agreement.

The Company maintained an ownership interest in 14 nonconsolidated affiliates at September 30, 2021.

Sales to nonconsolidated affiliates represented less than 2 percent of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and less than 2 percent and 3 percent of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sales to nonconsolidated affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily related to the sale of trichlorosilane, a raw material used in the production of polycrystalline silicon, to the HSC Group, prior to the TCS/Hemlock Disposal in the third quarter of 2020. Sales of this raw material to the HSC Group are reflected in Corporate. Purchases from nonconsolidated affiliates represented less than 4 percent of “Cost of sales” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and less than 3 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

1.On July 1, 2021, DuPont completed the acquisition of Laird PM. Final determination of the goodwill value assigned may result in adjustments to the preliminary value recorded. See Note 2 for additional information.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter as of October 1, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value is below carrying value. As a result of the related acquisition method of accounting in connection with the DWDP Merger, EID’s assets and liabilities were measured at fair value resulting in increases to the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value valuation increased the risk that declines in financial projections, including changes to key assumptions, could have a material, negative impact on the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and assets, and therefore could result in an impairment.

The 2021 Segment Realignment served as a triggering event requiring the Company to perform an impairment analysis related to goodwill carried by its reporting units as of February 1, 2021, prior to the realignment. As part of the 2021 Segment Realignment, the Company assessed and re-defined certain reporting units effective February 1, 2021, including reallocation of goodwill on a relative fair value basis, as applicable, to new reporting units identified. Goodwill impairment analyses were then performed for the new reporting units identified in the Electronics & Industrial and Mobility & Materials segments impacted by the 2021 Segment Realignment. No impairments were identified as a result of the analyses described above.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $183 million, impacting Corporate, which is reflected in "Goodwill impairment charges" in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $2,498 million, impacting its Mobility & Materials and Industrial Solutions reporting units, which is reflected in "Goodwill impairment charges" in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

1.As part of the Laird PM Acquisition, the Company acquired customer-related intangible assets of $840 million, developed technology of $290 million and trademark/tradename of $30 million. See Note 2 for additional information.

As part of the 2021 Segment Realignment, the Company reallocated its intangible assets with indefinite lives to align with the new segment structure. This served as a triggering event requiring the Company to perform an impairment analysis related to intangible assets with indefinite lives carried by its existing Electronics & Imaging and Transportation & Industrial segments as of February 1, 2021, prior to the realignment. Subsequent to the realignment the Company realigned intangible assets with indefinite lives as applicable to align the intangible assets with indefinite lives with the new segment structure. Impairment analyses were then performed for the intangible assets with indefinite lives carried by the Electronics & Industrial and Mobility & Materials segments. No impairments were identified as a result of the analyses described above.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax asset impairment charge of $52 million ($39 million net of tax) related to indefinite-lived intangible assets within Corporate which were deemed no longer recoverable as a result of an impairment test performed related to the Held For Sale Disposal Group classification (see Note 3 for additional information). The charge was recorded within “Restructuring and asset related charges – net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In the first quarter and third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to definite-lived intangible assets impacting Corporate reflected within “Restructuring and asset related charges - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 5 for further discussion.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company performed quantitative testing on indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to the Mobility & Materials segment, for which the Company determined that the fair value of certain tradenames had declined. As a result of the testing, the Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $21 million ($16 million after tax), which is reflected in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net," in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The remaining net book value of the tradenames attributable to the Mobility & Materials segment at September 30, 2020 was approximately $289 million, which represents fair value.

N&B Transaction
As part of the N&B Transaction, the Company received a Special Cash Payment of approximately $7.3 billion. The Special Cash Payment was partially funded by the N&B Notes Offering, which was completed on September 16, 2020. In order to fund the remainder of the Special Cash Payment, immediately prior to the consummation of the N&B Transaction, N&B borrowed $1.25 billion under the N&B Term Loan on February 1, 2021. The obligations and liabilities associated with the N&B Notes Offering and the N&B Term Loan were separated from the Company on February 1, 2021 upon consummation of the N&B Transaction. See Note 3 for more information.

May 2020 Debt Offering
On May 1, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of senior unsecured notes (the “May 2020 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2 billion of 2.169 percent fixed rate Notes due May 1, 2023 (the “May 2020 Debt Offering”). The consummation of the N&B Transaction triggered the special mandatory redemption feature of the May 2020 Debt Offering. The Company redeemed the May 2020 Notes on May 13, 2021 and funded the redemption with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

Term Loan Facilities
On February 1, 2021, the Company terminated its fully drawn term loan facilities in the aggregate principle amount of $3 billion (the "Term Loan Facilities"). The termination triggered the repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $3 billion, plus accrued and unpaid interest through and including January 31, 2021. The Company funded the repayment with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

Uncommitted Credit Facilities and Outstanding Letters of Credit
Unused bank credit lines on uncommitted credit facilities were $828 million at September 30, 2021. These lines are available to support short-term liquidity needs and general corporate purposes including letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit were $164 million at September 30, 2021. These letters of credit support commitments made in the ordinary course of business.

Debt Covenants and Default Provisions
The Company's indenture covenants include customary limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and mergers and consolidations, subject to certain limitations. The 2018 Senior Notes also contain customary default provisions. The Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facility contain a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with this financial covenant. There were no material changes to the debt covenants and default provisions at September 30, 2021.

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Litigation, Environmental Matters, and Indemnifications
The Company and certain subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims and environmental actions that have arisen in the normal course of business with respect to product liability, patent infringement, governmental regulation, contract and commercial litigation, as well as possible obligations to investigate and mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain substances at various sites. In addition, in connection with divestitures and the related transactions, the Company from time to time has indemnified and has been indemnified by third parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with, among other things, business activities prior to the completion of the respective transactions. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. The Company records liabilities for ongoing and indemnification matters when the information available indicates that it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has recorded indemnification assets of $56 million within "Accounts and notes receivable - net" and $239 million within "Deferred charges and other assets" and indemnification liabilities of $177 million within "Accrued and other current liabilities" and $189 million within "Other noncurrent obligations" within the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s accruals discussed below for indemnification liabilities related to the binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between Chemours, Corteva, EID and the Company and to the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Letter Agreement between the Company and Corteva (together the “Agreements”), are included in the balances above.

PFAS Stray Liabilities: Future Eligible PFAS Costs
On July 1, 2015, EID, a Corteva subsidiary since June 1, 2019, completed the separation of EID’s Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of Chemours to holders of EID common stock (the “Chemours Separation”).

On January 22, 2021, the Company, Corteva, EID and Chemours entered into the MOU pursuant to which the parties have agreed to release certain claims that had been raised by Chemours including any claims arising out of or resulting from the process and manner in which EID structured or conducted the Chemours Separation, and any other claims that challenge the Chemours Separation or the assumption of Chemours Liabilities (as defined in the Chemours Separation Agreement) by Chemours and the allocation thereof, subject in each case to certain exceptions set forth in the MOU. In connection with the MOU, the confidential arbitration process regarding certain claims by Chemours was terminated in February 2021. The parties have further agreed not to bring any future, additional claims regarding the Chemours Separation Agreement or the MOU outside of arbitration.

Pursuant to the MOU, the parties have agreed to share certain costs associated with potential future liabilities related to alleged historical releases of certain PFAS (per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, which include perfluorooctanoic acids and its ammonium salts (“PFOA”)) out of pre-July 1, 2015 conduct (“eligible PFAS costs”) until the earlier to occur of (i) December 31, 2040, (ii) the day on which the aggregate amount of Qualified Spend, as defined in the MOU, is equal to $4 billion or (iii) a termination in accordance with the terms of the MOU.

The parties have agreed that, during the term of this sharing arrangement, Qualified Spend up to $4 billion will be borne 50 percent by Chemours and 50 percent, up to a cap of $2 billion, by the Company and Corteva. The Company and Corteva will split their 50 percent of Qualified Spend in accordance with the Agreements. After the term of this arrangement, Chemours’ indemnification obligations under the Chemours Separation Agreement would continue unchanged, subject in each case to certain exceptions set forth in the MOU.

In order to support and manage any potential future eligible PFAS costs, the parties also agreed to establish an escrow account. The MOU provides that (1) no later than each of September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022, Chemours shall deposit $100 million into an escrow account and DuPont and Corteva shall together deposit $100 million in the aggregate into an escrow account and (2) no later than September 30 of each subsequent year through and including 2028, Chemours shall deposit $50 million into an escrow account and DuPont and Corteva shall together deposit $50 million in the aggregate into an escrow account. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the MOU, each party may be permitted to defer funding in any year (excluding 2021). Additionally, if on December 31, 2028, the balance of the escrow account (including interest) is less than $700 million, Chemours will make 50 percent of the deposits and DuPont and Corteva together will make 50 percent of the deposits necessary to restore the balance of the escrow account to $700 million. Such payments will be made in a series of consecutive annual equal installments commencing on September 30, 2029 pursuant to the escrow account replenishment terms as set forth in the MOU. As of September 30, 2021, the initial escrow deposit was completed by all parties in accordance with the MOU. DuPont's $50 million deposit into the escrow account is reflected in "Restricted cash and cash equivalents" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Table of Contents

The parties have agreed to cooperate in good faith to enter into additional agreements reflecting the terms set forth in the MOU. Under the Agreements, Divested Operations and Businesses ("DDOB") liabilities of EID not allocated to or retained by Corteva or the Company are categorized as relating to either (i) PFAS Stray Liabilities, if they arise out of actions related to or resulting from the development, testing, manufacture or sale of PFAS; or (ii) Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities, (and together with PFAS Stray Liabilities, the “EID Stray Liabilities”).

The Agreements provide that the Company and Corteva will each bear specified amounts plus an additional $200 million of Indemnifiable Losses, described below, in relation to certain EID Stray Liabilities. The Agreements further provide that the Company and Corteva will each bear 50 percent, $150 million each, of the first $300 million of total Indemnifiable Losses related to PFAS Stray Liabilities. When the companies meet their respective $150 million threshold, Indemnifiable Losses related to PFAS Stray Liabilities will be borne 71 percent by DuPont and 29 percent by Corteva. Indemnifiable Losses up to $150 million incurred for PFAS Stray Liabilities are credited against each company’s $200 million threshold.

Whenever Corteva or DuPont meets its $200 million threshold, the other would generally bear all Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities until meeting its $200 million threshold. Thereafter, DuPont will bear 71 percent and Corteva will bear 29 percent of Indemnifiable Losses related to Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities.

Indemnifiable Losses, as defined in the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement, include, among other things, attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of EID Stray Liabilities.

In connection with the MOU and the Agreements, the Company has recognized the following indemnification liabilities related to eligible PFAS costs:

2.Excludes liabilities of $27 million recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2020 related to the settlement of the Ohio MDL, discussed below.

In addition to the above, as of September 30, 2021, the Company has recognized a liability of $12.5 million related to the settlement agreement between Chemours, Corteva and DuPont and Delaware's Attorney General, discussed below.

Future charges, if any, associated with the MOU would be recognized over the term of the agreement as a component of income from discontinued operations to the extent liabilities become probable and estimable.

In 2004, EID settled a West Virginia state court class action, Leach v. DuPont, which alleged that PFOA from EID’s former Washington Works facility had contaminated area drinking water supplies and affected the health of area residents. Members of the Leach class have standing to pursue personal injury claims for just six health conditions that an expert panel appointed under the Leach settlement reported in 2012 had a “probable link” (as defined in the settlement) with PFOA: pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol. In 2017, Chemours and EID each paid $335 million to settle the multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (“Ohio MDL”), thereby resolving claims of about 3,550 plaintiffs alleging injury from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. The 2017 settlement did not resolve claims of Leach class members who did not have claims in the Ohio MDL or whose claims are based on diseases first diagnosed after February 11, 2017. Since the 2017 settlement about 100 additional cases alleging personal injury, including kidney and testicular cancer claims, had been filed or noticed and were pending in the Ohio MDL.

Table of Contents
On January 21, 2021, EID and Chemours entered into settlement agreements with plaintiffs’ counsel representing the Ohio MDL plaintiffs providing for a settlement of cases and claims in the Ohio MDL, except as noted below (the “Settlement”). The total settlement amount is $83 million in cash with each of the Company and EID contributing $27 million and Chemours contributing $29 million. At June 30, 2021 the Company had paid in full its $27 million contribution. The Settlement was entered into solely by way of compromise and settlement and is not in any way an admission of liability or fault by the Company, Corteva, EID or Chemours. In connection with the Settlement, in April 2021 the plaintiffs filed a motion to terminate the Ohio MDL. The case captioned “Abbott v. E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company” is not included in the Settlement and is presently pending appeal.

In the Abbott case, the jury returned a verdict in March 2020 against EID, awarding $50 million in compensatory damages to the plaintiff and his wife, who claimed that exposure to PFOA in drinking water caused him to develop testicular cancer. In March 2021, the trial judge entered an order denying EID’s post-trial motions for a reduction in the verdict amount for Mr. Abbott but reduced Mrs. Abbott’s verdict for loss of consortium from $10 million to $250,000, reducing the total verdict to $40.25 million. EID has appealed the verdict. The plaintiffs also sought but were not awarded punitive damages.

In addition to the actions described above, there are several cases alleging damages to natural resources, the environment, water, and/or property as well as various other allegations. DuPont and Corteva are named in most of the actions discussed below. Such actions include additional claims based on allegations that the transfer by EID of certain PFAS liabilities to Chemours prior to the Chemours Separation resulted in a fraudulent conveyance or voidable transaction. With the exception of the fraudulent conveyance claims, which are excluded from the MOU, legal fees, expenses, costs, and any potential liabilities for eligible PFAS costs presented by the following matters will be shared as defined in the MOU between Chemours, EID, Corteva and DuPont.

Since May 2017, a number of state attorneys general have filed lawsuits against DuPont, Corteva, EID, Chemours, and others, claiming environmental contamination by certain PFAS compounds. Such actions are currently pending in New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Vermont. In the second quarter 2021, the Michigan action was transferred to the SC MDL, discussed below. Generally, the states raise common law tort claims and seek economic impact damages for alleged harm to natural resources, punitive damages, present and future costs to cleanup contamination from certain PFAS compounds, and to abate the alleged nuisance. Most of these actions include fraudulent transfer claims related to the Chemours Separation and the DowDuPont separations.

In July 2021, Chemours, Corteva (for itself and EID) and DuPont reached a resolution with the State of Delaware that avoids litigation and addresses potential Natural Resources Damages (“NRD”) from known historical and current releases by the companies in or affecting Delaware. The resolution releases potential state NRD claims arising from the environmental impacts of various chemicals, including PFAS, across all current and historical locations. Consistent with the MOU, Chemours will bear 50 percent or $25 million of the $50 million settlement and Corteva and DuPont will each bear $12.5 million. The settlement also calls for a potential Supplemental Payment to Delaware up to a total of $25 million funded 50 percent by Chemours and 50 percent by Corteva and DuPont, jointly, under certain circumstances which are not deemed probable.

Several additional lawsuits have been filed by residents, local water districts, and private water companies against EID, Chemours, Corteva, DuPont and others in New York, New Jersey, and California generally alleging contamination of water systems due to the release of PFAS compounds. These suits seek compensatory and punitive damages, as well as present and future costs to clean up the alleged contamination. This includes a putative class action filed in the Northern District of New York on behalf of all individuals who, as of December 1, 2015, are or were owners of real property located in the Village of Hoosick Falls, New York and who obtain their drinking water from a privately owned well which has allegedly been contaminated by PFAS. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages as well as medical monitoring. The certification of the class is currently pending before the court.

Additionally, there are several actions that have been filed in New Jersey against EID and Chemours on behalf of residents who allege personal injuries due to exposure to PFAS in their drinking water. These lawsuits generally seek compensatory and punitive damages stemming from those alleged injuries and medical monitoring.

In April 2021, Chemours, Corteva and DuPont and certain of their respective Dutch entities, received a civil summons filed before the Court of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on behalf of four municipalities neighboring the Chemours Dordrecht facility. The municipalities are seeking liability declarations relating to the Dordrecht site’s current and historical PFAS operations and emissions.

Table of Contents
Beginning in April 2019, several dozen lawsuits involving water contamination arising from the use of PFAS-containing aqueous firefighting foams (“AFFF”) were filed against EID, Chemours, 3M and other AFFF manufacturers and in different parts of the country. Most were consolidated in multi-district litigation docket in federal district court in South Carolina (the “SC MDL”). Many of those cases also name DuPont as a defendant. Those actions largely seek remediation of the alleged PFAS contamination in and around military bases and airports as well as medical monitoring of affected residents. The first ten bellwether cases have been selected by the court, all of which are water district contamination cases.

As of September 30, 2021, approximately 1,600 personal injury cases have been filed directly in the SC MDL and assert claims on behalf of individual firefighters and others who allege that exposure to PFAS in firefighting foam caused them to develop cancer, including kidney and testicular cancer, or other injuries. DuPont has been named as a defendant in most of these personal injury AFFF cases. DuPont is seeking the dismissal of DowDuPont and DuPont from these actions. EID and the Company have never made or sold AFFF, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid ("PFOS") or PFOS containing products.

Additionally, a case filed by a former firefighter is pending in the Southern District of Ohio seeking certification of a nationwide class of individuals who have detectable levels of PFAS in their blood serum. The suit was filed against 3M and several other defendants in addition to Chemours and EID. The complaint specifically seeks, among other things, the creation of a “PFAS Science Panel” to study the effects of PFAS, but expressly states that the class does not seek compensatory damages for personal injuries. In February 2020, the court denied the defendants' motion to transfer this case to the SC MDL. The decision of whether to certify the class is currently pending before the court.

There are several actions pending in federal court against EID and Chemours, relating to discharges of PFCs, including GenX, into the Cape Fear River. GenX is a polymerization processing aid and a replacement for PFOA introduced by EID which Chemours continues to manufacture at its Fayetteville Works facility in Bladen County, North Carolina. One of these actions is a consolidated putative class action that asserts claims for damages and other relief on behalf of putative classes of property owners and residents in areas near or who draw drinking water from the Cape Fear River. Another action is a consolidated action brought by various North Carolina water authorities, including the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority and Brunswick County, that seek actual and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief. In addition, an action is pending in North Carolina state court on behalf of about 200 plaintiffs who own wells and property near the Fayetteville Works facility. The plaintiffs seek damages for nuisance allegedly caused by releases of certain PFCs from the site.

Additionally, there are lawsuits filed in North Carolina state court against Chemours, EID, Corteva and DuPont seeking damages for alleged personal injuries to more than 100 individuals due to alleged exposure to PFOA and GenX originating from the Fayetteville Works plant. These lawsuits also include fraudulent transfer allegations related to the Chemours Separation.

While Management believes it has appropriately estimated the liability associated with eligible PFAS matters and Indemnifiable Losses as of the date of this report, it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur additional eligible PFAS costs and Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the amounts accrued. These additional costs could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition and/or cash flows in the period in which they occur; however, costs qualifying as Qualified Spend are limited by the terms of the MOU.

Other Litigation Matters
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is party to claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business with respect to product liability, patent infringement, governmental regulation, contract and commercial litigation, and other actions. Certain of these actions may purport to be class actions and seek damages in very large amounts. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has liabilities of $18 million associated with these other litigation matters. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the possibility is remote that the aggregate of all such other claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. In accordance with its accounting policy for litigation matters, the Company will expense litigation defense costs as incurred, which could be significant to the Company’s financial condition and/or cash flows in the period.

Environmental Matters
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. At September 30, 2021, the Company had accrued obligations of $210 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs. These obligations are included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. It is reasonably possible that environmental remediation and restoration costs in excess of amounts accrued could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies for handling site remediation and restoration.

The accrued environmental obligations includes the following:

2.Pursuant to the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Dow and Corteva for certain Non-PFAS clean-up responsibilities and associated remediation costs.
3.The MOU related obligations are included in the Indemnified Liabilities Related to the MOU presented above.

Guarantees
Obligations for Equity Affiliates & Others
The Company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to equity affiliates and customers. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had directly guaranteed $178 million and $189 million, respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees. The Company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party.

The Company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

In certain cases, the Company has recourse to assets held as collateral, as well as personal guarantees from customers. At September 30, 2021, no collateral was held by the Company.

The following table provides a summary of the final expiration year and maximum future payments for each type of guarantee:

A summary of the Company's stock-based compensation plans can be found in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Recast 2020 Annual Report.

In the second quarter of 2020, the stockholders of DuPont approved the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") which allows the Company to grant options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), share bonuses, other share-based awards, cash awards, or a combination of the foregoing. Under the 2020 Plan, a maximum of 18 million shares of common stock are available for award as of September 30, 2021. In June of 2019, DuPont adopted the DuPont Omnibus Incentive Plan ("DuPont OIP") which provides for equity-based and cash incentive awards to certain employees, directors, independent contractors and consultants in the form of stock options, RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). Under the DuPont OIP, a maximum of 1 million shares of common stock are available for award as of September 30, 2021.

DuPont recognized share-based compensation expense in continuing operations of $17 million and $21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $55 million and $81 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements were $3 million and $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $11 million and $16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company granted 0.6 million RSUs, 0.6 million stock options and 0.4 million PSUs. The weighted-average fair values per share associated with the grants were $72.88 per RSU, $16.92 per stock option and $78.23 per PSU. The stock options had a weighted-average exercise price per share of $72.98. There was minimal activity in the second quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company granted 0.3 million RSUs with a weighted-average fair value per share of $71.42 per RSU. There was minimal stock option and PSU activity.

Effect of the N&B Transaction on Equity Awards
At the time of the N&B Transaction, outstanding, unvested share-based compensation awards that were denominated in DuPont common stock and held by N&B employees were terminated and reissued as equity awards issued under the IFF stock plan.

Derivative Instruments
Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, and interest rate risks. The Company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the Company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps.

The Company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the Company's derivative instruments were as follows:

Derivatives Designated in Hedging Relationships
Net Foreign Investment Hedge
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a fixed-for-fixed cross currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $1 billion to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged $1 billion at an interest rate of 4.73% for €819 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.26%. The cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge and expires on November 15, 2028.
41


Table of Contents
The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for the net investment hedge using the spot method. The Company has also elected to amortize the excluded components in interest expense in the related quarterly accounting period that such interest is accrued. The cross-currency swap is marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments within AOCL, net of amounts associated with excluded components which are recognized in interest expense in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. The Company may use foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the Company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on the contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Effect of Derivative Instruments
Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedges are used to offset foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The amount charged on a pre-tax basis related to foreign currency derivatives not designated as a hedge, which was included in “Sundry income (expense) - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations, was a loss of $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and a loss of $38 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was a $3 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and a $1 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The income statement effects of other derivatives were immaterial.

NOTE 23 - SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS
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 / OPEB benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, adjusted for significant items. Reconciliations of these measures are provided on the following pages.

Effective February 1, 2021, in conjunction with the closing of the N&B Transaction, the Company completed the 2021 Segment Realignment resulting in a change to its management and reporting structure. These changes resulted in the following:
Realignment of certain businesses from Transportation & Industrial to Electronics & Imaging;
Dissolution of the Non-Core segment with the businesses to be divested and previously divested reflected in Corporate;
Realignment of the remaining Non-Core businesses to Transportation & Industrial.

In addition, the following name changes occurred:
Electronics & Imaging was renamed Electronics & Industrial;
Transportation & Industrial was renamed Mobility & Materials;
Safety & Construction was renamed Water & Protection.

The reporting changes have been retrospectively reflected in the segment results for all periods presented.

NOTE 24 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Intended Rogers Corporation Acquisition
On November 2, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of Rogers Corporation (“Rogers”) for about $5.2 billion (the “Intended Rogers Acquisition”). The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022 and, when complete, is expected to broaden the Company’s presence in the electronic materials market. Rogers is complementary and aligned strategically with the Company’s existing Electronics & Industrial business. The completion of the acquisition is subject to approval by Rogers shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

DuPont entered into a Bridge Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Letter”) in an aggregate principal amount of $5.2 billion to secure committed financing for the Intended Rogers Acquisition. The Company intends to replace the Bridge Letter with other sources of financing prior to the closing of the Intended Rogers Acquisition.

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:

Recent Developments
Result of Operations
Segment Results
Changes in Financial Condition

Overview
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has $4.3 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. The Company continually assesses its liquidity position, including possible sources of incremental liquidity, in light of the current economic environment, capital market conditions and Company performance.

On February 1, 2021, DuPont completed the separation and distribution of the Nutrition & Biosciences business segment (the "N&B Business"), and the merger of Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. (“N&B”), a DuPont subsidiary formed to hold the N&B Business, with a subsidiary of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. ("IFF"). The distribution was effected through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) where, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, eligible participating DuPont stockholders had the option to tender all, some or none of their shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DuPont (the “DuPont Common Stock”) for a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of N&B (the “N&B Common Stock”) and which resulted in all shares of N&B Common Stock being distributed to DuPont stockholders that participated in the Exchange Offer. The consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B with a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF (the “N&B Merger” and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “N&B Transaction”). In connection with and in accordance with the terms of the N&B Transaction, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer and the N&B Merger, DuPont received a one-time cash payment of approximately $7.3 billion, (the "Special Cash Payment"), which is subject to post-closing adjustment pursuant to the terms of the N&B Separation and Distribution Agreement. The company used a portion of the proceeds to retire its $3 billion term loan facilities on February 1, 2021 and used the proceeds to fund the redemption, in accordance with their terms, of the $2 billion May 2020 Notes issuance.

On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Laird Performance Materials ("Laird PM") from Advent International. The Company paid for the acquisition from existing cash balances. See discussion below and within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information.

DWDP Merger and DWDP Distributions
Effective August 31, 2017, pursuant to the merger of equals transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017 ("Merger Agreement"), The Dow Chemical Company ("TDCC") and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("EID") each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont Inc. ("DowDuPont") and, as a result, TDCC and EID became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the "DWDP Merger").

DowDuPont completed a series of internal reorganizations and realignment steps in order to separate into three, independent, publicly traded companies - one for each of its agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses. DowDuPont formed two wholly owned subsidiaries: Dow Inc. ("Dow", formerly known as Dow Holdings Inc.), to serve as a holding company for its materials science business, and Corteva, Inc. ("Corteva"), to serve as a holding company for its agriculture business.

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the separation of the materials science business through the spin-off of Dow Inc., including Dow’s subsidiary TDCC (the “Dow Distribution”). On June 1, 2019, the Company completed the separation of the agriculture business through the spin-off of Corteva including Corteva’s subsidiary EID, (the “Corteva Distribution" and together with the Dow Distribution, the “DWDP Distributions”).

48


Table of Contents
Following the Corteva Distribution, the Company holds the specialty products business as continuing operations. On June 1, 2019, DowDuPont changed its registered name from "DowDuPont Inc." to "DuPont de Nemours, Inc." doing business as "DuPont" (the "Company"). Beginning on June 3, 2019, the Company's common stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "DD."

N&B Transaction
The financial position of DuPont as of December 31, 2020 and the results of operations of DuPont for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 present the historical financial results of N&B as discontinued operations. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to N&B have not been segregated and are included in the interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements refer only to DuPont's continuing operations and do not include discussion of balances or activity of N&B. See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the N&B Transaction.

2021 Segment Realignment
Immediately following the separation and distribution of the N&B Business, the Company made changes to its management and reporting structure (the “2021 Segment Realignment”) (see Note 23 for additional details). The reporting changes have been retrospectively reflected for all periods presented.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Intended Rogers Acquisition
On November 2, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of Rogers Corporation (“Rogers”) for about $5.2 billion (the “Intended Rogers Acquisition”). The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022 and, when complete, is expected to broaden the Company’s presence in the electronic materials market. Rogers is highly complementary and aligned strategically with the Company’s existing Electronics & Industrial segment. The completion of the acquisition is subject to approval by Rogers shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Mobility & Materials Segment Intended Divestiture
On November 2, 2021 the Company announced that it has initiated a divestiture process related to a substantial portion of the Mobility & Materials segment, which predominantly includes the Engineering Polymers and Performance Resins lines of business (the “In-Scope M&M Businesses”). The outcome of which, including the entry into definitive agreements, is subject to approval of the DuPont Board of Directors. The scope of the intended divestiture excludes certain product lines including Auto Adhesives and MultibaseTM. The divestiture of the In-Scope M&M Businesses may include a full or partial separation of the businesses from the Company. The Mobility & Materials segment will remain in its current management and reporting structure while these strategic alternatives are considered.

Laird Performance Materials
On July 1, 2021, DuPont completed the acquisition of Laird PM from Advent International (“Laird PM Acquisition”) for cash consideration of $2,404 million, which reflects adjustments, primarily for acquired cash and net working capital. See Note 2 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Dividends
On June 17, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.30 per share, paid on September 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on July 30, 2021.

On October 14, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.30 per share payable on December 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on November 30, 2021.

Volume increased across all regions. Local price was up 6 percent compared with the same period last year driven by Mobility & Materials (up 16 percent). Currency was up 1 percent compared with the same period last year, driven primarily by EMEA (up 2 percent), Latin America (up 2 percent) and Asia Pacific currencies (up 2 percent). Portfolio and other changes contributed a 1 percent growth as the addition of Laird PM in Electronics & Industrial (up 11 percent) offset the decline within Corporate (down 49 percent) due to the sale of businesses previously held in non-core.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $12.4 billion, up 17 percent from $10.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to a 12 percent increase in volume, a 3 percent increase in local price and product mix, a 2 percent favorable currency impact, and portfolio remained flat. Volume increased across all operating segments, the most notable volume increases were in Mobility & Materials (up 19 percent), Electronics & Industrial (up 13 percent) and Water & Protection (up 7 percent). Volume grew across all geographic regions. Local price and product mix was up 3 percent with the same period last year. Local price increased across all regions except EMEA (flat). Currency was up 2 percent compared with the same period last year, driven primarily by EMEA (up 6 percent) and Asia Pacific currencies (up 2 percent). Portfolio and other was flat as the addition of Laird PM in Electronics & Industrial (up 4 percent) offset the decline within Corporate (down 32 percent) due to the sale of businesses previously held in non-core.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $2.8 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021, up from $2.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Cost of sales increased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to increased sales volume, higher raw materials costs and higher logistics costs primarily related to freight. The increase was partially offset by the absence of approximately $60 million of charges in the prior year associated with temporarily idling several manufacturing plants to align supply with demand due to COVID-19.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 65 percent compared with 67 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Research and Development Expenses ("R&D")
R&D expenses totaled $152 million in the third quarter of 2021, up from $140 million in the third quarter of 2020. R&D as a percentage of net sales was 4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily due to incremental costs from the Laird PM Acquisition and higher personnel related expenses.

For the first nine months of 2021, R&D expenses totaled $456 million, down from $466 million in the first nine months of 2020. R&D as a percentage of net sales was 4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily due to productivity actions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A expenses were $475 million in the third quarter of 2021, up from $403 million in the third quarter of 2020. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 11 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily due to incremental costs from the Laird PM Acquisition, currency fluctuations and higher personnel related expenses.

For the first nine months of 2021, SG&A expenses totaled $1,390 million, up from $1,299 million in the first nine months of 2020. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 11 percent and 12 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily due to incremental costs from higher personnel related expenses, currency fluctuations, and the Laird PM Acquisition.

Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $196 million in the third quarter of 2021, up from $172 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily due to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the Laird PM Acquisition.

In the first nine months of 2021, amortization of intangibles was $530 million, up from $527 million in the same period of the prior year. The slight increase in the amortization of intangibles for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with the same period of the prior year is 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. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on intangible assets.

These costs were $29 million in the third quarter of 2021, up from $22 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase is related to the execution of these strategic initiatives in 2021. In the first nine months of 2021, acquisition, integration and separation costs were $58 million, down from $161 million in the same period last year. The decline was primarily related to the timing of the post-DWDP Merger integration activities and the DWDP Distributions.

Equity in Earnings of Nonconsolidated Affiliates
The Company's share of the earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates was $25 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $29 million in the third quarter of 2020. In the first nine months of 2021, the Company's share of the earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates was $76 million, down from $170 million in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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.

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 attribute. The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the third quarter of 2021 was 22.4 percent, compared with an effective tax rate of 58.7 percent for the third quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was principally the result of a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge and a non-tax-deductible goodwill allocation in connection with the TCS/HSC Disposal impacting Corporate.

For the first nine months of 2021, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 16.7 percent, compared with (8.5) percent for the first nine months of 2020. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 was principally the result of a $59 million tax benefit related to the step-up in tax basis in the goodwill of the Company’s European regional headquarters legal entity. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was principally the result of a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge impacting Corporate in the first and third quarter and a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge impacting the Mobility & Materials and Industrial Solutions reporting units in the second quarter, coupled with an allocation of non-tax-deductible goodwill related to the TCS/HSC Disposal.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity & Capital Resources
Information related to the Company's liquidity and capital resources can be found in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2021, Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources. Discussion below provides the updates to this information for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company continually reviews its sources of liquidity and debt portfolio and may make adjustments to one or both to 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.

1.Includes the current portion of long-term debt that is within the "Accrued and other current liabilities" line in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of which $1.4 billion at September 30, 2021 and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2020 were held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries in foreign countries is due to repatriation activities necessary for completing the acquisition of Laird PM. 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. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the completion of the Laird PM Acquisition.

Total debt at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $10.6 billion and $15.6 billion, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the termination and repayment of the Company's $3 billion Term Loan Facilities in the first quarter of 2021, and the redemption of the May 2020 Notes in the second quarter of 2021, described further below, in accordance with special mandatory redemption feature.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company is contractually obligated to make future cash payments of $10,700 million and $6,183 million associated with principal and interest, respectively, on debt obligations assuming held to maturity. Related to the principal balance, the majority of it will be due subsequent to September 30, 2022. Related to interest, $503 million will be due in the next twelve months and the remainder will be due subsequent to September 30, 2022. The decrease in debt and interest obligations since December 31, 2020 is mostly due to the termination and repayment of the $3 billion Term Loan Facilities and the redemption of the May 2020 Notes.

Special Cash Payment
In connection with and in accordance with the terms of the N&B Transaction, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer and the N&B Merger, DuPont received a one-time cash payment of approximately $7.3 billion, (the "Special Cash Payment"), which is subject to post-closing adjustment pursuant to the terms of the N&B Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Company utilized the Special Cash Payment to repay the $3 billion Term Loan Facilities and used a portion of the Special Cash Payment to redeem the May 2020 Notes, as discussed below.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities
In November 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement that establishes two term loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $3 billion, (the “Term Loan Facilities”) as well as a five-year $3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility”). Effective May 2, 2019, the Company fully drew the two Term Loan Facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion and the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility became effective and available. The Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility is generally expected to remain undrawn, and serve as a backstop to the Company’s commercial paper and letter of credit issuance.

On February 1, 2021, the Company terminated its fully drawn $3 billion Term Loan Facilities. The termination triggered the repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $3 billion, plus accrued and unpaid interest through and including January 31, 2021. The Company funded the repayment with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into an updated $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility (the “2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facility") as the $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility entered in April 2020 (the “2020 $1B Revolving Credit Facility") expired mid-April. As of the effectiveness of the 2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 $1B Revolving Credit Facility was terminated. The $1B Revolving Credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes.

May 2020 Debt Offering
On May 1, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of senior unsecured notes (the “May 2020 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2 billion of 2.169 percent fixed rate Notes due May 1, 2023 (the “May 2020 Debt Offering”). Upon consummation of the N&B Transaction, the special mandatory redemption feature of the May 2020 Debt Offering was triggered, requiring the Company to redeem all of the May 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the May 2020 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company redeemed the May 2020 Notes on May 13, 2021 and funded the redemption with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

Laird Performance Materials
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Laird PM from Advent International for aggregate consideration of $2.4 billion, which reflects adjustments, including for acquired cash and net working capital. The acquisition is part of the Interconnect Solutions business within the Electronics & Industrial segment. The Company paid for the acquisition from existing cash balances.

Intended Rogers Acquisition
On November 2, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of Rogers for about $5.2 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022 and, when complete, is expected to broaden the Company’s presence in the electronic materials market. Rogers is highly complementary and aligned strategically with the Company’s existing Electronics & Industrial segment. The completion of the acquisition is subject to Rogers shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

The Company entered into a Bridge Letter in an aggregate principal amount of $5.2 billion to secure committed financing for the Intended Rogers Acquisition. The Company intends to replace the Bridge Letter with other sources of financing prior to the closing of the Intended Rogers Acquisition.

Credit Ratings
The Company's credit ratings impact its access to the debt capital markets and cost of capital. The Company remains committed to a strong financial position and strong investment-grade rating. At October 29, 2021, DuPont's credit ratings were as follows:
Credit RatingsLong-Term RatingShort-Term RatingOutlook
Standard & Poor’sBBB+A-2Stable
Moody’s Investors ServiceBaa1P-2Stable
Fitch RatingsBBB+F-2Stable

The Company's indenture covenants related to its 2018 Senior Notes contain certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens and enter into sale lease-back transactions, mergers and consolidations as well as customary events of default. The Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facilities 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 September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with this financial covenant.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
In the first nine months of 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $1,660 million, compared with $2,794 million in the same period last year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in the use of cash for net working capital. Activity related to the N&B business is included in all nine months of the comparative period and the first month of 2021.

The assets and liabilities related to the N&B Transaction are presented as assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
In the first nine months of 2021, cash used for investing activities was $2,727 million, compared an inflow of cash from investing activities of $35 million in the first nine months of 2020. The increase in cash used was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Laird PM on July 1, as well as a decrease in proceeds from sales of property and businesses (net of cash dividend), offset by lower capital expenditures. Activity related to the N&B business is included in all nine months of the comparative period and the first month of 2021.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
In the first nine months of 2021, cash used for financing activities was $5,921 million compared with cash provided by financing activities of $5,830 million in the same period last year. The primary driver of the increase in cash used was an increase in payments on long-term debt, a decrease in proceeds from long-term debt issuances, and an increase in share purchases of common stock, partially offset by proceeds from issuances of long-term debt transferred to IFF at split-off. Activity related to the N&B business is included in all nine months of the comparative period and the first month of 2021.

Dividends
On February 18, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter dividend of $0.30 per share, paid on March 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2021.

On April 28, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.30 per share, paid on June 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on May 28, 2021.

On June 17, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.30 per share, paid on September 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on July 30, 2021.

On October 14, 2021, the Company announced that its Board declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.30 per share payable on December 15, 2021, to shareholders of record on November 30, 2021.

Restructuring
In March 2020, the Company approved restructuring actions designed to capture near-term cost reductions and to further simplify certain organizational structures in anticipation of the N&B Transaction (the "2020 Restructuring Program"). As a result of these actions, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $181 million inception-to-date, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $129 million and asset related charges of $52 million. Actions associated with the 2020 Restructuring Program are considered substantially complete. Future cash payments related to the 2020 Restructuring Program are anticipated to be $25 million primarily related to the payment of severance and related benefits.

In June 2019, DuPont approved restructuring actions to simplify and optimize certain organizational structures following the completion of the DWDP Distributions (the "2019 Restructuring Program"). As a result of these actions, the Company has recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $126 million inception-to-date, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $99 million and asset related charges of $27 million. Actions associated with the 2019 Restructuring Program are considered substantially complete. Future cash payments related to the 2019 Restructuring Program are anticipated to be $5 million and relate to the payment of severance and related benefits.

In September and November 2017, the Company approved post-merger restructuring actions under the DowDuPont Cost Synergy Program (the "Synergy Program"), adopted by the DowDuPont Board of Directors. The Synergy Program was designed to integrate and optimize the organization following the DWDP Merger and in preparation for the DWDP Distributions whereby the Company has recorded pre-tax restructuring charges attributable to the continuing operations of DuPont of $345 million inception-to-date, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $137 million, asset related charges of $159 million and contract termination charges of $49 million. Actions associated with the Synergy Program, including employee separations, are considered substantially complete. Future cash payments related to the Synergy Program are anticipated to be $8 million and relate to the payment of severance and related benefits.

See Note 5 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company's restructuring programs.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees arise in the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated affiliates when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specific triggering events occur. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had directly guaranteed $178 million and $189 million, respectively, of such obligations. Additional information related to the guarantees of the Subsidiaries can be found in the “Guarantees” section of Note 15 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Divested Neoprene Facility, La Place, Louisiana - EPA Compliance Inspection
In 2016, the EPA conducted a focused compliance investigation at the Denka Performance Elastomer LLC (“Denka”) neoprene manufacturing facility in La Place, Louisiana. EID sold the neoprene business, including this manufacturing facility, to Denka in the fourth quarter of 2015. Subsequent to this inspection, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”), the Company (originally through EID), and Denka began discussions in the spring of 2017 relating to the inspection conclusions and allegations of noncompliance arising under the Clean Air Act, including leak detection and repair. DuPont, Denka, EPA, DOJ and DEQ are continuing these discussions, which include potential settlement options.

New Jersey Directive PFAS
On March 25, 2019, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) issued a Directive and Notice to Insurers to a number of companies, including Chemours, DowDuPont, EID, and certain DuPont subsidiaries. NJDEP’s allegations relate to former operations of EID involving poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, (“PFAS”), including PFOA and PFOA- replacement products. The NJDEP seeks past and future costs of investigating, monitoring, testing, treating, and remediating New Jersey’s drinking water and waste systems, private drinking water wells and natural resources including groundwater, surface water, soil, sediments and biota. The Directive seeks certain information as to future costs and information related to the historic uses of PFAS and replacement chemicals including “information ranging from use and discharge of the chemicals through wastewater treatment plants, air emissions, and sales of products containing the chemicals to current development, manufacture, use and release of newer chemicals in the state.”
