PFAS escrow funding requirements– Pursuant to the binding MOU that we entered into with DuPont, Corteva, and EID in January 2021, the parties have agreed to establish an escrow account in order to support and manage the payments for potential future legacy PFAS liabilities. In September 2023, we entered into a supplemental agreement to the binding MOU with DuPont, Corteva, and EID, whereby the parties agreed to i) release funds held in escrow to fund, in part, the qualified settlement fund per the terms of the U.S. public water system settlement agreement, ii) waive the escrow funding obligation of each party due no later than September 30, 2023 and iii) waive the escrow funding obligation due no later than September 30, 2024 under certain conditions as agreed to by the parties. The parties agreed to fund the payments due by September 30, 2024, and we funded $50 million into the escrow account on September 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the PFAS Insurance Proceeds Memorandum of Understanding ("PFAS Insurance MOU"), the parties agreed to suspend the obligation of each of the parties to fund the $50 million MOU payments due by September 30, 2025. Additionally, also pursuant to the terms of the PFAS Insurance MOU, the parties agreed that our future MOU funding requirements will be reduced by amounts released from the insurance proceeds escrow to fund the New Jersey settlement. The next escrow payment of $50 million is currently due on or before September 30, 2026 and the following payments are expected on or before September 30 of each subsequent year through and including 2028. As such, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $50 million deposited into the escrow account.

Other legal settlements- In addition to the legal items noted above, we have other legal settlements that we expect to pay within the next 12 months and beyond. In November 2023, we, DuPont, Corteva, and EID entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Ohio to settle claims, including for environmental releases or sales of products containing PFAS or other known contaminants. Our share of this settlement was $45 million that was paid to the state in November 2025, and the remaining share of $10 million, was paid in April 2026, which represented our portion of the contribution consistent with the MOU entered into among the parties in January 2021. Following the settlement agreement with the State of Ohio and pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with the State of Delaware entered into in 2021, in January 2026, we contributed our portion of the supplemental payment to the State of Delaware for $13 million. In June 2025, EID and Chemours reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Hoosick Falls class action lawsuit. Our portion of the total settlement in accordance with the MOU is $13.5 million, of which, $11 million was paid in July 2026, and the remaining $2.5 million paid in five installments annually. In August 2025, Chemours, Chemours FC LLC, Corteva, EID, DuPont and DuPont Specialty Products (collectively, “the NJ Settling Companies”), and the State of New Jersey agreed to a Judicial Consent Order (“JCO”) on terms consistent with the recommended settlement agreement. Under the JCO, the Companies will make scheduled annual settlement payments totaling $875 million over a 25-year period. Our portion of the scheduled annual settlement payments is $269 million as of June 30, 2026 on a net present value basis. We expect that the $150 million consideration pursuant to the PFAS Insurance MOU as well as the $50 million restricted cash in the MOU escrow account will fully fund our New Jersey settlement payment obligations through at least 2030. In June 2026 we entered into an agreement with EPA, as well as the WVDEP, whereas we are expected to pay the EPA and WVDEP a $23 million civil penalty over a three-year period.

In addition, concurrent with the JCO being finalized, the PFAS Insurance MOU with Corteva and DuPont was enacted. This resulted in Corteva and DuPont funding $150 million into an escrow account for the restricted purpose of funding the Company’s future New Jersey annual settlement payments. We expect that the remaining restricted cash received pursuant to the PFAS Insurance MOU will fully fund our New Jersey annual settlement payment obligations through at least 2030. In June 2026 we entered into an agreement with EPA, as well as the WVDEP, whereas we are expected to pay the EPA and WVDEP a $23 million civil penalty over a three-year period. We have accrued litigation of $553 million at September 30, 2026, of which $191 million is classified as current. Refer to “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statementsfor further discussion.

The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash provided by (used for) our operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Current wording
The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash provided by (used for) our operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Previous wording
We generated $114 million in cash flows for our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Comparatively, we used $19 million in cash flows for our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in our operating cash inflows was primarily attributable to changes in net working capital as a result of fewer inventory purchases made in 2026, in addition to higher earnings in the second quarter of 2026.
Current wording
We generated $263 million in cash flows for our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Comparatively, we generated $127 million in cash flows for our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in our operating cash inflows was primarily attributable to a reduced inventory balance as a result of our effort to optimize inventory levels and performance, timing of payments, as we paid for 2024 year-end plant turnaround activities and capital expenditure projects in 2025, and a cash inflow related to the PFAS Insurance MOU, net of the first annual New Jersey settlement payment in 2026.
Previous wording
We generated $195 million in cash flows for our investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Comparatively, we used $128 million in cash flows for our investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in our investing cash inflows was primarily attributable to $294 million in proceeds from sales of assets and business, primarily due to the net proceeds of the Kuan Yin land sale. This cash generation was partially offset by purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $93 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $127 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cash spending related to property, plant, and equipment is due to timing of payments, as there were more payments in 2025, partially offset by increased capital project spend incurred year-over-year.
Current wording

Comparatively, we used $163 million in cash flows for our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in our investing cash inflows was primarily attributable to $342 million in proceeds from sales of assets and business, primarily due to the net proceeds of the Kuan Yin land sale. This cash generation was partially offset by purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $144 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $168 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in cash spending related to property, plant, and equipment is due to timing of payments, as there were more payments in 2025, partially offset by increased capital project spend incurred year-over-year.

We had a provision for income taxes of $307 million and $128 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. There was a $179 million increase in our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Our provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to the same factors discussed above. In addition to these, the Company recorded the recognition of a full valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, inclusive of approximately $208 million related to prior year deferred tax assets. Our provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to $153 million tax expense to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset for U.S. federal and state interest carryforwards. These were partially offset by a $70 million tax benefit related to environmental and litigation reserve. See "Note 6 - Income Taxes" to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Our Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment’s net sales decreased by $50 million (or 9%) to $510 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with segment net sales of $560 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease in segment net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to a 9% decrease in volumes. The decrease in volumes was primarily attributable to lower stationary AC aftermarket refrigerant sales of TSS Opteon™ blends in North America, compared with elevated demand in the third quarter of 2025 driven by the stationary technology transition under the U.S. AIM Act.
