Dow’s measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes is Operating EBIT as this is the manner in which the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general counsel, and senior vice president of corporate development, together the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), assesses performance and allocates resources for thethree operating segments. The CODM compares quarterly results to both the year-ago and sequential periods to assess performance and allocate resources to each segment. The Company defines Operating EBIT as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items. Operating EBIT by segment includes all operating items relating to the businesses; items that principally apply to Dow as a whole are assigned to Corporate.

1. Significant expense categories are presented on an operating basis, net of the impact of significant items.

2. SARD includes selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses.

3. Other segment income (expense) items includes amortization of intangibles and sundry income (expense) - net.

Segment Operating EBIT for TDCC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is substantially the same as that of Dow Inc. and therefore is not disclosed separately in the table above.
