Guidance for Full Year 2026

Qnity is raising full‑year guidance based on strong third‑quarter performance and continued momentum in the business.

Qnity’s full year 2026 guidance ⁽³⁾ is as follows:

Net Sales	$5.77B - $5.83B
Adjusted Operating EBITDA	$1.785B - $1.805B
Adjusted EPS	$4.95 - $5.05
Adjusted Free Cash Flow	$800M - $900M

(3) We calculate forward-looking Adjusted Operating EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow based on internal forecasts that exclude certain information that would be included in the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures. We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measure for these measures due to the unreasonable effort and uncertainty in estimating certain items necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for significant items, interest expense, indirect legacy costs/benefits, transformation, integration, and other charges, share-based compensation amounts, non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information that does not conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are considered non-GAAP measures, including the presentation of Organic Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Pro Forma Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Operating EBITDA, Adjusted Operating EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Pro Forma Operating EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Pro Forma EPS, Base Tax Rate, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Pro Forma Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Pro Forma Base Tax Rate. The non-GAAP measures presented are not necessarily indicative of the future possible key performance indicators or non-GAAP measures of Qnity.

Qnity believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information related to the performance of Qnity on an as-managed basis by DuPont and a stand-alone basis. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reflect results in a manner that enables, in some instances, more meaningful analysis of trends and facilitates comparison of results across periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided below. Non-GAAP measures included in this press release are defined below.

Adjusted Earnings is defined as net income available for Qnity common stockholders excluding the after-tax impacts of significant items, amortization expense of intangibles, non-operating pension / other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”) credits / costs, and indirect legacy costs / benefits and adjusted for the income tax effect of these excluded items. Adjusted Earnings is the numerator used in the calculation of Adjusted EPS.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Earnings per common share - diluted.

Base Tax Rate is a non-GAAP measure defined as the GAAP Effective Tax Rate excluding the tax rate impacts of adjustments to net income available for Qnity common stockholders in determining Adjusted Earnings.

Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as Pre-tax Earnings (i.e., “Income before income taxes") before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension / OPEB benefits credits / costs, foreign exchange gains / losses, indirect legacy costs / benefits, and adjusted for significant items.

Adjusted Operating EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted Operating EBITDA divided by Net Sales.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities less capital expenditures and excluding the impact of indirect legacy costs / benefits related to cost sharing arrangements executed between DuPont and Qnity at the time of spin-off, IT independence costs, and transformation, integration, and other charges, as well as cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's underlying business liquidity.

Significant items are items that impact Qnity and arise outside the ordinary course of business that management believes may cause misinterpretation of underlying business performance, both historical and future, based on a combination of some or all of the item’s size, unusual nature and infrequent occurrence. Within this definition, Management classifies as significant items certain costs and expenses associated with transformation, integration, and other charges related to transformational activities, including acquisitions and divestitures, as they are considered unrelated to ongoing business performance.

Indirect legacy costs/benefits relate to cost sharing arrangements executed between DuPont and Qnity at the time of the spin-off. Such costs include certain litigation and environmental-related shared costs, taxes, and indirect cost sharing arrangements, and are excluded from Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Operating EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as defined above, as they are considered unrelated to ongoing Qnity business performance.

Organic Sales is defined as net sales excluding the impacts of currency and portfolio actions.

Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated as Gross Profit (net sales less cost of sales), excluding the impact of Significant items on Net Sales and Cost of Sales and the impact on Cost of Sales from certain services associated with transaction agreements entered with DuPont, including the Transition Services Agreement, certain product service agreements, contract manufacturing agreements, raw materials supply agreements, and site services agreements. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by Net Sales.

Qnity has also presented measures on a pro forma basis which were prepared in a manner consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Our pro forma results give effect to the spin-off and related transactions as if the Spin Off occurred on January 1, 2025. Our Pro Forma adjustments reflect:

• Interest expense associated with our current debt structure;
• Income tax effect of incremental interest expense;
• The impact of the Transition Services Agreements and other commercial agreements entered into with DuPont in connection with the spin-off; and
• Transaction and other incremental costs required to operate as a stand-alone entity.

We believe pro forma measures are helpful to supplement our financial results as they allow a comparison of results as a stand-alone company as if the agreements were in place for the periods presented.

Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings is defined as net income available for Qnity common stockholders excluding the impacts of significant items, amortization expense of intangibles, non-operating pension / other post-employment benefits credits / costs, and indirect legacy costs / benefits, less the after-tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments described above and adjusted for the income tax effect of these excluded items. Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings is the numerator used in the calculation of Adjusted Pro Forma EPS.

Adjusted Pro Forma EPS is defined as Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings per common share - diluted.

Adjusted Pro Forma Base Tax Rate is a non‑GAAP measure defined as the Base Tax Rate adjusted to reflect the estimated income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments described above.

Adjusted Pro Forma Operating EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Operating EBITDA less certain pro forma adjustments described above.

Adjusted Pro Forma Operating EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted Pro Forma Operating EBITDA divided by Net Sales.

Adjusted Pro Forma Free Cash Flow is defined as pro forma cash provided by/used for operating activities less capital expenditures and excluding the impact of indirect legacy costs / benefits related to cost sharing arrangements executed between DuPont and Qnity at the time of spin-off, IT independence costs, transformation, integration, and other charges, and transaction and other incremental costs required to operate as a stand-alone entity, as well as cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's underlying business liquidity.

Adjusted Pro Forma Gross Profit is calculated as Gross Profit (net sales less cost of sales), excluding the impact on Cost of Sales from certain services associated with transaction agreements entered with DuPont, including the Transition Services Agreement, certain product service agreements, contract manufacturing agreements, raw materials supply agreements, and site services agreements.

Key Terms

non-gaap measures financial

Financial results that companies present using formulas or adjustments different from standard accounting rules (GAAP) to highlight what management considers the business’s ongoing performance. Investors care because these figures can make trends or profitability look clearer—like showing a car’s fuel efficiency after removing unusual trips—but they can also hide one‑time costs or aggressive assumptions, so comparing them with GAAP numbers helps judge reliability.

pro forma financial

Pro forma refers to financial information that is prepared based on estimates or adjustments to show what a company's results might look like under certain scenarios, such as new projects or acquisitions. It helps investors understand the potential impact of future events by providing a clear, hypothetical view of financial performance, much like a weather forecast shows possible future conditions.

stock-based compensation financial

Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.

View in glossary

noncontrolling interests financial

The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and profits that belongs to outside owners rather than the parent company; when a parent reports consolidated results it includes the whole subsidiary but shows the noncontrolling slice separately. Think of a company’s subsidiary as a pie where the parent owns most slices but some are held by other investors — noncontrolling interests tell you how much of the pie and its future earnings don’t belong to the parent, which affects how much profit and net assets are truly attributable to the parent’s shareholders.
