DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

Current report

Supply chain and operational disruptions, including those that affect the Company's customers and suppliers, could significantly increase costs and expenses, adversely impact the Company’s sales and earnings and impact access to sources of liquidity.

Current report

DuPont’s operations require the continued availability of energy and raw materials and rely on third-party suppliers, contract manufacturers and service providers. The Company’s supply chains are complex and extend across multiple countries in all regions of the world, and, therefore, are subject to global economic and geopolitical dynamics and risks including military conflicts (such as those in the Middle East) and related governmental actions.

Current report

Supply chain and operational disruptions, plant and/or power outages, labor shortages and/or strikes, geo-political activity, weather events and natural disasters, manmade disasters, perceived or actual global health risks or pandemics, governmental, legislative or regulatory actions (including sanctions, trade restrictions or transportation limitations), or other business continuity events, could adversely affect the Company's operations as well as the operations of its customers and suppliers. Such events, including the conflict in the Middle East, may contribute to volatility or disruptions to the global energy markets, increased costs or shortages of raw materials, and constraints on global logistics and transportation routes. Depending on the length and severity of disruption, DuPont's ability to meet demand and its commitments to customers and suppliers; and access the liquidity markets could be seriously impacted and adversely affect the Company's operating profit or cash flows. In addition, the Company’s suppliers may experience capacity limitations in their own operations or may elect to reduce or eliminate certain product lines. To address this risk, generally, the Company seeks to have many sources of supply for key raw materials in order to avoid significant dependence on any one or a few suppliers. In addition, and where the supply market for key raw materials is concentrated, DuPont takes additional steps to manage its exposure to supply chain risk and price fluctuations through, among other things, negotiated long-term contracts some which include minimum purchase obligations. However, there can be no assurance that such mitigation efforts will prevent future difficulty in obtaining sufficient and timely delivery of certain raw materials.

Current report

DuPont takes actions to offset the effects of higher energy and raw material costs, which are subject to global supply and demand and other factors beyond the Company's control, through selling price increases, productivity improvements and cost reduction programs. Success in offsetting higher raw material costs with price increases is largely influenced by competitive and economic conditions and could vary significantly depending on the market served. As a result, volatility or sustained increases in these costs may negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Current report

DuPont’s financial results may be materially and adversely impacted by a variety of factors that have not yet been determined, including potential impairments of goodwill and other assets. DuPont, when necessary, will take actions, including reducing costs, restructuring actions, and delaying certain capital expenditures and non-essential spend. In addition, the Company may consider reductions in force or furloughing operations in response to declines in demand and/or supply chain disruptions. There can be no guarantee that such actions would significantly mitigate the impact on the company’s business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity or financial condition and the Company may experience materially adverse impacts to its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as a result of related global economic impacts, including inflationary pressures that have occurred and may continue to occur in the future.

Previous report

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

Previous report

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

Previous report

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

Previous report

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

Previous report

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

Previous report

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no purchases of the Company’s common stock. As described in Management’s Discussion & Analysis, the company repurchased and retired $500 million of common stock under the $1B Share Buyback Program prior to its expiration on June 30, 2025.
