Item 2. Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales were $6,379 million and $6,456 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily drivenby a 3 percent decrease in volume, partially offset by a 1 percent increase in price and a 1 percent favorable impact from currency. The decrease in volume was driven by timing shifts in North America and Brazil, partially offset by broad-based Crop Protection growth in Asia Pacific. North America volumes were impacted by the acreage shift from corn to soy as well as channel purchase timing from Crop Protection customers, while EMEA Crop Protection volumes were impacted by dry weather. The Seed pricing and mix improvement was driven by demand for top technology and increased out-licensing income, partially offset by the competitive Crop Protection pricing environment in Latin America. The favorable currency impacts were driven by the Brazilian Real and the Euro, partially offset by the Indian Rupee.
