OVERVIEW



DuPont is a global innovation leader with technology-based materials and
solutions that help transform industries and everyday life by applying diverse
science and expertise to help customers advance their best ideas and deliver
essential innovations in key markets including electronics, transportation,
building and construction, healthcare and worker safety.


As of March 31, 2022, the Company has $2.9 billion of working capital and
approximately $1.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The Company expects its
cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and ability to access
the debt capital markets to provide sufficient liquidity and financial
flexibility to meet the liquidity requirements associated with its continuing
operations.

Outlined below are recent developments and material historical transactions impacting this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



Mobility & Materials Intended Divestitures
On February 17, 2022, DuPont entered into a Transaction Agreement (the
"Transaction Agreement") with Celanese Corporation ("Celanese") to divest a
majority of the historic Mobility & Materials segment, including the Engineering
Polymers business line and select product lines within the Advanced Solutions
and Performance Resins business lines (the "M&M Divestiture") for $11 billion in
cash, subject to customary transaction adjustments in accordance with the
Transaction Agreement. Closing is expected around the end of 2022, subject to
customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The Company also
announced on February 18, 2022 that its Board of Directors approved of the
divestiture of the Delrin® acetal homopolymer (H-POM) business (the "Delrin®
Divestiture"), subject to entry into a definitive agreement and satisfaction of
closing conditions. The Delrin® Divestiture together with the M&M Divestiture
discussed above (the "M&M Divestitures") represents a strategic shift that will
have a major impact on DuPont's operations and results.

The financial position of DuPont as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021
present the businesses to be divested as part of the M&M Divestiture and the
Delrin® Divestiture (the "M&M Businesses") as held for sale presented as
discontinued operations. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021 present the financial results of the M&M Businesses as
discontinued operations. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to the
M&M Businesses have not been segregated and are included in the interim
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and interim Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Unless otherwise
indicated, the information in the notes to the interim Consolidated Financial
Statements refer only to DuPont's continuing operations and do not include
discussion of balances or activity of the M&M Businesses. See Note 4 to the
interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Auto Adhesives & Fluids, MultibaseTM and Tedlar® product lines (the
"Retained Businesses") are not included within the M&M Divestitures. Effective
with the signing of the transaction agreement, the Retained Businesses were
realigned to Corporate & Other. The reporting changes have been retrospectively
applied for all periods presented.

COVID-19 Pandemic
As described in the Analysis of Operations section within the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and its variants
continue to adversely impact the global economy, including certain suppliers of
the Company's key raw materials. Within the first quarter of 2022, while
end-market demand remained strong, the Company experienced supply chain
challenges driven by COVID-19, including the related mandatory site shutdowns in
China. At this time, the Company is not able to predict the extent to which the
COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact its consolidated results of operations
or financial condition.

Russia, Belarus, Ukraine
With respect to the war in the Ukraine, the Company's business and operational
environment is impacted by, among other things, responsive governmental actions
including sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments. In light of the
conflict during the first quarter, the Company suspended its business operations
in Russia and Belarus, the net sales from which are less than one percent of
DuPont's consolidated net sales in 2021. The Company does not have operations in
the Ukraine. DuPont has experienced supply chain challenges and increased
logistics and raw materials costs due in part to the negative impact on the
global economy from the ongoing war in Ukraine. The extent to which the conflict
may continue to impact DuPont in future periods will depend on future
developments, including the severity and duration of the conflict, its impact on
regional and global economic conditions, and the extent of supply chain
disruptions. DuPont will continue to monitor the conflict and assess the related
sanctions and other effects and may take further actions if necessary.

Dividends

On February 7, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2022 dividend of $0.33 per share, which was paid on March 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on February 28, 2022.

On April 21, 2022, the Company announced that its Board declared a second quarter dividend of $0.33 per share payable on June 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on May 31, 2022.



Laird Acquisition
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Laird Performance
Materials ("Laird PM") from Advent International. The Company paid for the
acquisition from existing cash balances. See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated
Financial Statements and within "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more
information.

N&B Transaction
On February 1, 2021, the Company completed the divestiture of the Nutrition &
Biosciences ("N&B") business to International Flavors & Fragrance Inc. ("IFF").
The distribution was effected through an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer")
and the consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B
with a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of IFF (the "N&B Merger" and, together with the Exchange Offer,
the "N&B Transaction").

The results of operations of DuPont for the three months ended March 31, 2021
present the historical financial results of N&B as discontinued operations. The
cash flows and comprehensive income related to N&B have not been segregated and
are included in the interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and interim
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the
notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements refer only to DuPont's
continuing operations and do not include discussion of balances or activity of
N&B. See Note 4 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information on the N&B Transaction.

1.Corporate & Other includes activities of the Retained Businesses, Biomaterials
and previously divested businesses.
2.Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The Company reported net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $3.3
billion, up 9 percent from $3.0 billion for the three months ended March 31,
2021, due to a 6 percent increase in local price and product mix, a 3 percent
increase in volume, and a 2 percent increase in portfolio actions, partially
offset by a 2 percent unfavorable currency impact. Local price and product mix
increase driven by Water & Protection (up 10 percent) and Corporate & Other (up
10 percent). Local price and product mix increased across all regions. Volume
increase was driven by Electronics & Industrial (up 8 percent), partially offset
by Corporate & Other (down 6 percent). Portfolio and other changes contributed 2
percent growth as the addition of Laird PM in Electronics & Industrial (up 11
percent) was partially offset by declines within Corporate & Other (down 23
percent) due to the sale of businesses. Currency was down 2 percent compared
with the same period last year, driven by EMEA (down 6 percent).

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $2.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, up
from $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of sales
increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to increased
sales volume, higher raw materials costs and higher logistics costs, primarily
related to freight.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 64 percent compared with 62 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021.



Research and Development Expenses ("R&D")
R&D expenses totaled $143 million in the first quarter of 2022, up from $139
million in the first quarter of 2021. R&D as a percentage of net sales was
consistent period over period at 4 percent and 5 percent for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A expenses were $389 million in the first quarter of 2022, down from $395
million in the first quarter of 2021. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was
consistent period over period at 12 percent and 13 percent for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $153 million in the first quarter of 2022, up
from $125 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 as compared with the same period of the prior year
was primarily due to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the
Laird PM acquisition.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net
Restructuring and asset related charges - net were $101 million in the first
quarter of 2022, up from $2 million in the first quarter of 2021. The charges in
the first quarter of 2022 include a $94 million impairment charge of an equity
method investment and a $7 million charge related to the 2021 Restructuring
Actions. The activity in the first quarter of 2021 is due to a $2 million charge
related to the 2020 Restructuring Program.

See Note 6 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.



Acquisition, Integration and Separation Costs
Acquisition, integration and separation costs, primarily consist of financial
advisory, information technology, legal, accounting, consulting, and other
professional advisory fees. The Company recorded costs of $8 million and $6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, these costs were primarily associated
with the execution of activities related to strategic initiatives including the
acquisition of Laird PM and the Intended Rogers Acquisition. For the three
months ended March 31, 2021, these costs were primarily associated with the
execution of activities related to strategic initiatives, which primarily
includes the sale of the Solamet® business unit and the planned divestiture of
the Biomaterials business unit.

See Note 4 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.



Equity in Earnings of Nonconsolidated Affiliates
The Company's share of the earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates was $26
million in the first quarter of 2022, up from $23 million in the first quarter
of 2021. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021
is primarily due to higher equity earnings across the portfolio.

Sundry Income (Expense) - Net
Sundry income (expense) - net includes a variety of income and expense items
such as foreign currency exchange gains or losses, interest income, dividends
from investments, gains and losses on sales of investments and assets,
non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit plan credits or costs,
and certain litigation matters. Sundry income (expense) - net in the first
quarter of 2022 was income of $3 million compared with income of $19 million in
the first quarter of 2021. The first quarter of 2022 included income related to
non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit credits of $7 million,
partially offset by foreign currency exchange losses of $5 million. The first
quarter of 2021 included benefits related to the sale of assets within the
Electronics & Industrial segment of $24 million and income related to
non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit credits of $6 million,
partially offset by a $15 million impairment charge related to an asset sale and
foreign currency exchange losses of $6 million.

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $120 million and $146 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in interest expense
primarily relates to the reduction in long-term debt following the N&B
Transaction, specifically the early repayment of the $3.0 billion Term Loan
Facilities in February 2021 and the redemption of the May 2020 notes completed
in May 2021. Refer to Note 15 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information.

Provision for Income Taxes on Continuing Operations
The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, where
income is earned and the level of income relative to tax attribute. The
effective tax rate on continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022 was
16.8 percent, compared with an effective tax rate of (0.3) percent for the first
quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate differential for the first quarter of
2022 was principally the result of a $94 million impairment charge on an equity
method investment which resulted in a tax benefit of $29 million. The effective
tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was principally the result of a $59
million tax benefit related to the step-up in tax basis in the goodwill of the
Company's European regional headquarters legal entity.

SEGMENT RESULTS



Effective February 2022, the revenues and certain expenses of the M&M Businesses
are classified as discontinued operations in the current and historical periods.
In addition, the Auto Adhesives & Fluids, MultibaseTM and Tedlar® product lines
within the historic Mobility & Materials segment (the "Retained Businesses") are
not included in the scope of the M&M Divestitures. The Retained Businesses are
reported in Corporate & Other. The reporting changes have been retrospectively
reflected for all periods presented.

Mobility & Material businesses costs classified as discontinued operations
include only direct operating expenses incurred by the M&M Businesses which the
Company will cease to incur upon the close of the M&M Divestitures. Indirect
costs, such as those related to corporate and shared service functions
previously allocated to the M&M Businesses, do not meet the criteria for
discontinued operations and remain reported within continuing operations. A
portion of these indirect costs include costs related to activities the Company
will continue to undertake post-closing of the M&M Divestiture, and for which it
will be reimbursed ("Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs"). Future Reimbursable
Indirect Costs are reported within continuing operations but are excluded from
operating EBITDA as defined below. The remaining portion of these indirect costs
are not subject to future reimbursement ("Stranded Costs"). Stranded Costs are
reported within continuing operations in Corporate & Other and are included
within Operating EBITDA.

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, and adjusted for significant
items. Reconciliations of these measures can be found in Note 23 to the interim
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Electronics & Industrial net sales were $1,536 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2022, up 18 percent from $1,300 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2021. Net sales increased due to an 11 percent portfolio
increase, an 8 percent increase in volume and a 1 percent increase in local
price, partially offset by 2 percent unfavorable currency impact. The portfolio
impact reflects the July 1, 2021 acquisition of Laird PM. Volume growth was led
by Semiconductor Technologies which was driven by transition to more advanced
node technologies, growth in high performance computing and 5G communications.
Within Industrial Solutions, volume gains were driven by growth in display
materials, healthcare and industrial markets. Within Interconnect Solutions,
volume gains in industrial markets were more than offset by weakness in consumer
electronics.

Operating EBITDA was $476 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, up
9 percent compared with $436 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021
primarily driven by the acquisition of Laird PM and strong volume growth,
partially offset by higher raw materials and logistics costs and the absence of
a gain on an asset sale.

Water & Protection net sales were $1,429 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2022, up 8 percent from $1,328 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. Net sales increased due to a 10 percent increase in local price,
partially offset by a 2 percent unfavorable currency impact. Volume and
portfolio remained flat. Strong demand for water technologies within Water
Solutions, increased demand in Shelter Solutions residential construction and
improvement in commercial construction were offset by volume declines in Safety
Solutions. Within Water & Protection pricing actions throughout the segment were
led by Shelter Solutions and Safety Solutions.

Operating EBITDA was $341 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022,
down 4 percent compared with $355 million for the three months ended March 31,
2021 as pricing actions were more than offset by changes in product mix and
higher raw material, logistics and energy costs.


Corporate & Other



Corporate & Other includes sales and activity of the Retained Businesses
including the Auto Adhesives & Fluids, MultibaseTM and Tedlar® product lines,
previously reported in the historic Mobility & Materials segment. Related to the
M&M Divestitures, Corporate & Other includes Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs.
The results of Corporate & Other include the sales and activity of to be
divested and previously divested businesses including the operations of
Biomaterials, Clean Technologies, and Solamet® business units. Corporate & Other
also includes certain enterprise and governance activities including
non-allocated corporate overhead costs and support functions, leveraged
services, non-business aligned litigation expenses and other costs not absorbed
by reportable segments.

Corporate & Other net sales were $309 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, down from $389 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net sales primarily decreased due to the divestitures of the Clean Technologies and Solamet® businesses in the second half of 2021.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity & Capital Resources
Information related to the Company's liquidity and capital resources can be
found in the Company's 2021 Annual Report, Part II, Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Discussion below provides the updates to this
information for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company continually reviews its sources of liquidity and debt portfolio and
may make adjustments to one or both to ensure adequate liquidity and increase
the Company's optionality and financing efficiency as it relates to financing
cost and balancing terms/maturities. The Company's primary source of incremental
liquidity is cash flows from operating activities. Management expects the
generation of cash from operations and the ability to access the debt capital
markets and other sources of liquidity will continue to provide sufficient
liquidity and financial flexibility to meet the Company's and its subsidiaries'
obligations as they come due.

          In millions                    March 31, 2022    December 31, 2021
          Cash and cash equivalents     $         1,672   $            1,972
          Total debt                    $        11,039   $           10,782



The Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 and December 31,
2021 were $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of which $1.5 billion
at March 31, 2022 and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2021 were held by
subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories. The
increase in cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries in foreign countries
is due to operating cashflows during the period, partly offset by repatriation.
For each of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company makes an assertion regarding
the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance
available to be repatriated to the United States.

Total debt at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $11.0 billion and $10.8 billion, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the increase in commercial paper issuances.



As of March 31, 2022, the Company is contractually obligated to make future cash
payments of $10.7 billion and $5.9 billion associated with principal and
interest, respectively, on debt obligations assuming held to maturity. Related
to the principal balance, all payments will be due subsequent to December 31,
2022. Related to interest, $504 million will be due in the next twelve months
and the remainder will be due subsequent to March 31, 2023.

Special Cash Payment
In connection with and in accordance with the terms of the N&B Transaction,
prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer and the N&B Merger, DuPont received
a one-time cash payment of approximately $7.3 billion, (the "Special Cash
Payment"), which is subject to post-closing adjustment pursuant to the terms of
the N&B Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Company utilized the Special
Cash Payment to repay the $3 billion Term Loan Facilities and used a portion of
the Special Cash Payment to redeem the May 2020 Notes, as discussed below.

Term Loan Facilities
On February 1, 2021, the Company terminated its fully drawn $3 billion term loan
facilities. The termination triggered the repayment of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of $3 billion, plus accrued and unpaid interest through and
including January 31, 2021. The Company funded the repayment with proceeds from
the Special Cash Payment.

Revolving Credit Facilities
On April 12, 2022, the Company entered into a new $2.5 billion five-year
revolving credit facility (the "$2022 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility"). As
of the effectiveness of the 2022 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the
Company's prior $3 billion five-year revolving credit facility entered in May
2019 was terminated. The 2022 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility is generally
expected to remain undrawn and serve as a backstop to the Company's commercial
paper and letter of credit issuance.

On April 12, 2022, the Company entered into an updated $1.0 billion 364-day
revolving credit facility (the "2022 $1B Revolving Credit Facility") as the $1.0
billion 364-day revolving credit facility entered in April 2021 (the "2021 $1B
Revolving Credit Facility") had an expiration date in mid-April. As of the
effectiveness of the 2022 $1B Revolving Credit Facility, the 2021 $1B Revolving
Credit Facility was terminated. The 2022 $1B Revolving Credit facility may be
used for general corporate purposes.

May 2020 Debt Offering
On May 1, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of senior
unsecured notes (the "May 2020 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $2
billion of 2.169 percent fixed rate Notes due May 1, 2023 (the "May 2020 Debt
Offering"). Upon consummation of the N&B Transaction, the special mandatory
redemption feature of the May 2020 Debt Offering was triggered, requiring the
Company to redeem all of the May 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the aggregate principal amount of the May 2020 Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest. The Company redeemed the May 2020 Notes on May 13, 2021 and funded the
redemption with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

Laird Performance Materials
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Laird PM from Advent
International for aggregate consideration of $2.4 billion, which reflects
adjustments, including for acquired cash and net working capital. The
acquisition is part of the Interconnect Solutions business within the
Electronics & Industrial segment. The Company paid for the acquisition from
existing cash balances.

Intended Rogers Acquisition
On November 2, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of Rogers for about $5.2
billion. The acquisition is expected to to close late in the second quarter or
early in the third quarter of 2022 subject to regulatory approvals and other
customary closing conditions.

Concurrent with the signing of the definitive agreement, the Company entered
into a Bridge Commitment Letter (the "Bridge Letter") in an aggregate principal
amount of $5.2 billion to secure committed financing for the Intended Rogers
Acquisition. On November 22, 2021, the Company entered into a two-year senior
unsecured committed term loan agreement in the amount of $5.2 billion (the "2021
Term Loan Facility"). The 2021 Term Loan Facility is intended to fund the
Intended Rogers Acquisition and will be drawn upon contemporaneously with the
close of the Intended Rogers Acquisition. The 2021 Term Loan Facility is
required to be repaid upon completion of the intended divestiture of the
In-Scope M&M Businesses. Commensurate with the entry into the 2021 Term Loan
Facility, the commitments under the Bridge Letter were terminated.

Credit Ratings
The Company's credit ratings impact its access to the debt capital markets and
cost of capital. The Company remains committed to maintaining a strong financial
position with a balanced financial policy focused on maintaining a strong
investment-grade rating and driving shareholder value and remuneration. At April
30, 2022, DuPont's credit ratings were as follows:

Credit Ratings                 Long-Term Rating    Short-Term Rating     Outlook
Standard & Poor's                    BBB+                 A-2            Stable
Moody's Investors Service            Baa1                 P-2           Negative
Fitch Ratings                        BBB+                 F-2            Stable



The Company's indenture covenants include customary limitations on liens, sale
and leaseback transactions, and mergers and consolidations, subject to certain
limitations. The senior unsecured notes (the "2018 Senior Notes") also contain
customary default provisions. The 2021 Term Loan Facility, the Five-Year
Revolving Credit Facility, the 2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facilities and the
revolving credit facilities entered into in 2022 contain a financial covenant,
typical for companies with similar credit ratings, requiring that the ratio of
Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization for the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance
with this financial covenant.

Summary of Cash Flows
The Company's cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as
reflected in the interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized
in the following table. The cash flows related to N&B and the M&M Divestitures
have not been segregated and are included in the interim Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
