DuPont de Nemours Inc

The revenues and certain expenses of the Delrin® Divestiture are classified as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition, the Auto Adhesives & Fluids, Multibase TM and Tedlar® product lines within the historical Mobility & Materials segment (the "Retained Businesses") were not included in the scope of the M&M Divestitures and are included in Corporate & Other.

Historical Delrin® costs that were classified as discontinued operations in prior years included only direct operating expenses incurred by Delrin® prior to the November 1, 2023 divestiture. Indirect costs, such as those related to corporate and shared service functions previously allocated to the Delrin® Business, did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and were reported within continuing operations in the respective prior years. A portion of these historical indirect costs included costs related to activities the Company is undertaking on behalf of Delrin®, and for which it is reimbursed (“Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs”). Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are reported within continuing operations but are excluded from operating EBITDA as defined below. The remaining portion of these indirect costs are not subject to reimbursement (“Stranded Costs”). Stranded Costs are reported within continuing operations in Corporate & Other and are included within Operating EBITDA.

On August 1, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Spectrum Plastics Group (“Spectrum”) from AEA Investors (the “Spectrum Acquisition”). Spectrum is part of Industrial Solutions within the Electronics & Industrial segment.

The Company's measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes is Operating EBITDA as this is the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company defines Operating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., “Income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension / other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”) / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, excluding Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, and adjusted for significant items.

Electronics & Industrial net sales were $1,508 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, up 15 percent from $1,312 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net sales increased due to a 10 percent increase in sales volume and a 9 percent increase in portfolio actions partially offset by a 2 percent decline in local price and product mix and a 2 percent unfavorable currency impact. Volume growth in Semiconductor Technologies and Interconnect Solutions was partially offset by declines in Industrial Solutions. Within Semiconductor Technologies, volume gains were driven by continued semiconductor demand recovery, including demand growth in artificial intelligence ("AI") driven technology, as well as higher volume in OLED materials led by new product launches. Broad based volume growth in Interconnect Solutions driven by consumer electronics recovery was partially offset by local price and product mix declines. Volume declines in Industrial Solutions were driven by ongoing channel inventory destocking for Kalrez® and biopharma markets. The portfolio impact reflects the August 2023 acquisition of Spectrum. The unfavorable currency impact is primarily driven by the Japanese yen.

Operating EBITDA was $419 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, up 20 percent compared with $349 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to volume growth and the impact of increased production rates in Semiconductor Technologies and Interconnect Solutions, the earnings contribution from the Spectrum acquisition partially offset by higher selling and administrative costs.

Electronics & Industrial net sales were $2,873 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, up 10 percent from $2,608 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net sales increased due to a 9 percent increase in portfolio actions and a 5 percent increase in sales volume partially offset by a 2 percent decline in local price and product mix and a 2 percent unfavorable currency impact. The portfolio impact reflects the August 2023 acquisition of Spectrum. Volume growth in Semiconductor Technologies and Interconnect Solutions was partially offset by declines in Industrial Solutions. Within Semiconductor Technologies, volume gains were driven by continued semiconductor demand recovery, including demand growth in AI driven technology, as well as higher volume in OLED materials. Broad based volume growth in Interconnect Solutions driven by consumer electronics market recovery was partially offset by local price and product mix declines, including the impact of lower pass-through metals. Volume declines in Industrial Solutions were related to channel inventory destocking, primarily for Kalrez® and biopharma markets. The unfavorable currency impact is primarily driven by the Japanese yen.

Operating EBITDA was $793 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, up 12 percent compared with $711 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due the earnings contribution from the Spectrum acquisition, volume growth, the impact of increased production rates in Semiconductor Technologies and Interconnect Solutions and higher equity earnings partially offset by higher selling and administrative costs.
