Insights

DuPont posts strong Q1 growth, boosts 2026 guidance and executes major portfolio moves.

DuPont delivered broad-based improvement in Q1 2026. Net sales of $1.681 billion rose 4%, with 2% organic growth, while operating EBITDA climbed 15% to $414 million. Adjusted EPS increased 53% to $0.55, reflecting higher segment earnings and lower interest expense and corporate costs.

Segment performance was balanced. Healthcare & Water Technologies grew net sales 6% with organic growth of 3% and achieved an operating EBITDA margin of 30.3%. Diversified Industrials posted 3% higher sales and lifted margins to 22.9%, helped by favorable mix and productivity even as some construction-exposed businesses remained soft.

Strategically, DuPont completed the $1.2 billion cash sale of its Aramids business, plus a $300 million note and $325 million equity interest, and plans a $275 million accelerated share repurchase. Management now targets full-year 2026 net sales of $7.155–$7.215 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.35–$2.40, above prior guidance, tying the higher outlook partly to interest income from the Aramids transaction and about 4% organic growth assumptions.

Operating EBITDA financial
"Operating EBITDA of $414 million; Operating EBITDA margin of 24.6%"
Operating EBITDA is a measure of the cash profit a company generates from its core business activities, calculated by taking earnings and adding back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization while excluding one‑time items and non‑operating income. For investors it acts like checking how much money a store makes from selling its products before financing, taxes and accounting charges, helping compare operational performance across companies and periods.
Adjusted EPS financial
"GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.36; adjusted EPS of $0.55"
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.
Transaction-adjusted free cash flow financial
"transaction-adjusted free cash flow of $147 million and 65%, respectively"
Transaction-adjusted free cash flow measures the cash a company generates from its normal operations after paying for necessary capital spending, but strips out one-time cash effects from deals like acquisitions, divestitures, or large asset sales. For investors it shows the business’s recurring cash-generating ability—like looking at a household’s monthly budget after removing big one-off purchases or windfalls—so you can better judge dividend potential, debt capacity, and underlying financial health.
Significant items financial
"Significant items are items that arise outside the ordinary course of business"
Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs financial
"Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations"
Intended Reverse Stock Split financial
"plans to seek approval ... to effect ... a reverse stock split ... (the "Intended Reverse Stock Split")"

Guidance

For Q2 2026, DuPont estimates net sales of about $1.8 billion, operating EBITDA of about $430 million, and adjusted EPS of approximately $0.59. For full-year 2026, it guides to net sales of $7.155–$7.215 billion, operating EBITDA of $1.73–$1.76 billion, and adjusted EPS of $2.35–$2.40.

“For the second quarter 2026, we estimate net sales of about $1.8 billion, operating EBITDA of about $430 million and adjusted EPS of approximately $0.59 per share,” said Antonella Franzen, DuPont Chief Financial Officer. “Our second quarter guidance estimates organic sales growth of about 3%, with currency a slight tailwind in the quarter.”

“We are raising our full year 2026 guidance given our strong start to the year and the interest income benefit from the Aramids transaction. In addition, our full year net sales guidance now assumes about 4% organic growth including about 1% of pricing due to actions taken to fully offset higher input costs related to the Middle East conflict,” Franzen concluded.

Overview
On April 1, 2026, DuPont completed the sale of the Aramids business (the “Aramids Business" and the divestiture of the Aramids Business, the "Aramids Divestiture”) to Arclin, a portfolio company of an affiliate of TJC LP, (“TJC”), for pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion, subject to customary transaction adjustments, a note receivable in the principal amount of $300 million and a non-controlling common equity interest (the "Aramids Equity Consideration"), valued at $325 million, in New Arclin U.S. Holding Corp., which now owns the Arclin global materials business and the Aramids Business. The financial results of the divested Aramids Business are reflected in DuPont's interim Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations, along with comparative periods.

On March 18, 2026, the Company announced that it plans to seek approval at its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect, at the discretion of DuPont’s Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"), a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 or more than 1-for-4, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors at a later date (the "Intended Reverse Stock Split"). If and when the Intended Reverse Stock Split is effected, the Certificate of Incorporation will also be amended to reflect a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock by the selected reverse stock split ratio. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements have not been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Intended Reverse Stock Split, which remains subject to stockholder approval.

On November 1, 2025, DuPont completed the separation of its semiconductor and interconnect solutions businesses (the "Electronics Business" and the separation of the Electronics Business, the “Electronics Separation”) into an independent public company, Qnity Electronics, Inc. (“Qnity”), by way of the distribution to DuPont's stockholders of record as of October 22, 2025 of all the issued and outstanding common stock of Qnity on November 1, 2025 (the “Qnity Distribution”). As a result, the financial results of the divested Electronics Business, are reflected in the comparative period of DuPont's interim Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements in this release may be considered forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “see”, “will”, “would”, “target”, “outlook”, “stabilization”, “confident”, “preliminary”, “initial”, “continue”, “may”, “could”, “project”, “estimate”, “forecast” and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain and subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, many of which are beyond DuPont's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. Some of the important factors that could cause DuPont's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Electronics Separation and the Qnity Distribution, including achievement of the intended tax treatment, contractual allocation to, and assumption by Qnity of certain liabilities, including certain legacy liabilities with respect to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and the possibility of disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the Electronics Separation and Qnity Distribution; (ii) the impact of the Aramids Divestiture on DuPont’s balance sheet, financial condition and future results of operations; (iii) risks and costs related to the impact of the arrangement to share future eligible PFAS costs by and among DuPont, Corteva, Inc. and The Chemours Company, including the outcome of pending or future litigation related to PFAS or PFOA, which includes personal injury claims and natural resource damages claims; the extent and cost of ongoing and potential future remediation obligations; and changes in laws and regulations applicable to PFAS chemicals; (iv) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with the Electronics Separation, the Aramids Divestiture and completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and other portfolio management, productivity and infrastructure actions; (v) risks and uncertainties that are outside the Company’s control but adversely impact the overall environment in which DuPont, its customers and/or its suppliers operate, including changes in economic, political, regulatory, international trade, geopolitical, military conflicts, capital markets and other external conditions, including pandemics and responsive actions, as well as natural and other disasters or weather-related events; (vi) the ability to offset increases in cost of inputs, including raw materials, energy and logistics; (vii) the risks and uncertainties associated with continuing or expanding geopolitical conflicts or trade disputes or restrictions and responsive actions, new or increased tariffs or export controls, including on exports to China of U.S.-regulated products and technology; (viii) other risks to DuPont’s business and operations, including the risk of impairment; (ix) risks and uncertainties in connection with completing the $2 billion share buyback announced on November 6, 2025, including timeline, associated costs and the possibility that the authorization may be suspended or discontinued prior to completion; (x) the ability to implement, and realize the intended benefits of, the Intended Reverse Stock Split; (xi) the impact of the invalidation of certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and (xii) other risk factors discussed in DuPont’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business or supply chain disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on DuPont’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial metrics presented reflect continuing operations only.

This communication 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. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company, including allocating resources. DuPont’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information related to the ongoing performance of DuPont to offer a more meaningful comparison related to future results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and 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 U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 12. Non-GAAP measures included in this communication are defined below. The Company has not provided forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain future events. These events include, among others, the impact of portfolio changes, including asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; contingent liabilities related to litigation, environmental and indemnifications matters; impairments and discrete tax items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.

Key Terms

Significant Items

Significant items are items that arise outside the ordinary course of business for the Company and includes items for nonconsolidated affiliates, that the Company’s management believes may cause misinterpretation of underlying business and investment performance, both historical and future, based on a combination of some or all of the item’s size, unusual nature and infrequent occurrence. Management classifies as significant items certain costs and expenses associated with integration and separation activities related to transformational acquisitions and divestitures as they are considered unrelated to ongoing business performance. There were no significant items associated with nonconsolidated affiliates recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs

Indirect costs, such as those related to corporate and shared service functions previously allocated to the separated Electronics Business and Aramids Business, do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and are reported within continuing operations in all respective periods presented. The Company has, is, will or expects to be reimbursed in accordance with the applicable transition service agreements (“TSAs”) for the portion of indirect costs related to activities the Company is, will or expects to undertake on a transitional basis to support a) Qnity not beyond year end 2027 for services and 2040 for site leases and, b) the Aramids Business post the intended Aramids Divestiture, but not beyond 2028 (such indirect costs “Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs”). Services provided and costs reimbursed in accordance with the applicable TSAs include but are not limited to, costs associated with information technology services/support, product stewardship and regulatory support, facilities services, and shared property lease costs.

Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and therefore are included in both GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations and in GAAP Cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations for all periods presented. Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings, Operating EBITDA and Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow, each defined below. Such indirect costs that are not subject to future reimbursement are reported within continuing operations in Corporate and are included within Adjusted Earnings, Operating EBITDA, and Cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations.

Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs

Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs are environmental remediation costs, including certain investigate, remediate and restoration costs, associated with discontinued or divested operations, businesses or product lines (“Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs”). DDOB Remediation Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Operating EBITDA, as defined below, to provide better insight into the underlying business performance of the Company.

Non-GAAP Measure Definitions

Organic Sales

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

Adjusted Earnings

Adjusted Earnings is defined as income from continuing operations excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, after-tax impact of amortization expense of intangibles, the after-tax impact of non-operating pension / other post employment benefits (“OPEB”) credits / costs, Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs and Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs.

Adjusted Earnings is the numerator used in the calculation of Adjusted EPS, as well as the denominator in Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Earnings per common share - diluted. Management estimates amortization expense in 2026 associated with intangibles to be about $275 million on a pre-tax basis, or approximately $0.51 per share.

Operating EBITDA, EBITDA Margin & Incremental Margin

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 / OPEB benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, excluding Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs, and adjusted for significant items. Reconciliations of these measures are provided on the following pages.

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

Incremental Margin is the change in Operating EBITDA divided by the change in Net Sales for the applicable period.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow & Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures and excluding the impact of cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business liquidity. As a result, Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents cash that is available to the Company, after investing in its asset base, to fund obligations using the Company’s primary source of liquidity, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. Management believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow, even though it may be defined differently from other companies, is useful to investors, analysts and others to evaluate the Company’s cash flow and financial performance, and it is an integral measure used in the Company’s financial planning process. Management notes that there were no exclusions for items that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence for the three month period ended March 31, 2026.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted Earnings. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion as an indicator of our ability to convert earnings to cash.

Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow & Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Management believes supplemental non-GAAP financial measures including Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion (each defined below) provide an integral view of information on the Company's underlying business performance during this period of transformational change. Management believes the Electronics Separation and Aramids Divestiture collectively represent a significant transformational change for the Company and separation-related transaction cost payments impact comparability to the Company’s continuing operations. Management believes Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which may be defined differently from other companies, is useful to investors, analysts and others to evaluate the Company’s cash flow and financial performance, and it is an integral measure used in the Company’s financial planning process. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures and removing the impact of separation-related transaction costs and other payment and cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business liquidity.

Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding separation-related transaction costs, divided by Adjusted Earnings.

Separation-related transaction costs and other payments include cash outflows directly associated with the Electronics Separation and the Aramids Divestiture. These costs include advisor and banking fees, payments related to establishing a new capital structure (including fees associated with interest rate swaps), capital expenditures required to facilitate physical asset separation, restructuring payments associated with senior leadership, and Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, among other expenditures.

Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Operating EBITDA. To provide comparable data analysis, the Company has also adjusted payments associated with Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs within Separation-related transaction costs and other payments. This adjustment is intended to provide insight into the Company's underlying business performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company adjusted $8 million associated with Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs within Separation-related transaction costs and other payments.

Additionally, $3 million was reflected in Separation-related transaction costs and other payments for the three month period ended March 31, 2026, respectively, for capital expenditures incurred to complete the physical separation of shared locations.

Finally, $6 million of restructuring and short-term incentive program payments to former senior leadership were reflected in Separation-related transaction costs and other payments for the three month period ended March 31, 2026. These payments were reflected in other cash payments as they related to the establishment of the post-spin leadership structure.
