Third Quarter Highlights


•	Operating earnings per share of $0.54 were up 20 percent from $0.45 per share last year, in-line with the company’s expectations communicated with 2Q earnings. GAAP¹ earnings per share were $0.47 versus $0.28 last year.


•	Sales were $7.5 billion versus $7.7 billion in the same period last year, down 3 percent due to portfolio changes.


•	Volume grew across most segments with decline limited to Agriculture, where higher crop protection volume was more than offset by lower seed volume.

•	The Performance Chemicals separation remains on track for mid-2015.

WILMINGTON, Del., October 28, 2014 - Today DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced third quarter 2014 operating earnings of $0.54 per share compared to $0.45 per share in the prior year. GAAP¹ earnings per share were $0.47 versus $0.28 last year. Consolidated sales were $7.5 billion, 3 percent below last year, reflecting portfolio changes, as price, volume and currency were in line with the prior year period.

"In the third quarter, we improved our operating margins in five of seven segments and grew operating earnings per share 20 percent, despite a weaker Ag environment and sluggish economic growth in most of the world," said DuPont Chair and CEO Ellen Kullman. "Our increase in margins in a slow growth environment reflects the momentum we are building as we execute our plan, which is driving new products, portfolio enhancements and a broad initiative to redesign our operating model with a smaller cost base and a simplified support structure. We are positioning DuPont for our next stage of growth, while increasing returns to our shareholders."

The following is a summary of business results for each of the company’s reportable segments in the third quarter, which compares the current period with the prior year. References to selling price are on a U.S. dollar basis, including the impact of currency.

Agriculture - A seasonal operating loss of $55 million improved $7 million, or 11 percent, due primarily to lower seed input costs and operating cost improvements, partially offset by lower sales and the absence of the prior year $26 million gain from the acquisition of a controlling interest in Pannar. Increases in insecticide and fungicide volumes, mainly in Latin America, were more than offset by lower corn seed and herbicide volumes and lower corn seed price.

Electronics & Communications - Operating earnings of $94 million decreased $3 million, or 3 percent, due to competitive pressures impacting Solamet^®paste, and a decrease in other income, partially offset by stronger volume and productivity gains.

Industrial Biosciences - Operating earnings of $47 million increased $2 million, or 4 percent, from increased enzyme demand principally for ethanol production, partially offset by higher product costs.

Nutrition & Health - Operating earnings of $100 million increased $19 million, or 23 percent, from volume growth, mix enrichment, productivity actions and lower raw material costs.

Performance Chemicals - Operating earnings of $249 million decreased $12 million, or 5 percent, due primarily to lower prices and portfolio changes, partially offset by productivity improvements.

Performance Materials - Operating earnings of $370 million increased $3 million. Increased ethylene and polymer volumes were partially offset by the impact of portfolio changes, principally the Glass Laminating/Vinyls sale. A prior year $30 million benefit from a joint venture was partially offset by a $23 million gain on sale of a majority interest in a joint venture during the third quarter 2014.

Safety & Protection - Operating earnings of $201 million increased $30 million, or 18 percent, primarily due to lower product costs and productivity improvements, resulting in over a 300 basis point increase in operating margins.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter, the company expects sluggish growth in the global economy, along with continuing headwinds in agriculture and from currency. However, the company remains confident in its ability to create higher value from its portfolio while continuing to deliver against cost productivity and corporate initiatives. Overall, the company expects fourth quarter operating earnings per share to grow about 20 percent from last year's $0.59 per share, matching the growth rate the company achieved in the third quarter, and bringing full year 2014 operating earnings within its previously communicated outlook range of $4.00 - $4.10 per share.

Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in schedules A, C and D.

The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes. The net pre-tax exchange gains and losses are recorded in other income, net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on the Consolidated Income Statements.
