NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , collectively referred to as the “2014 Annual Report”. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained, as well as variable interest entities for which DuPont is the primary beneficiary.

Basis of Presentation

Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current year's presentation.

The company’s cost structure has been impacted by the global, multi-year initiative to redesign its global organization and operating model to improve productivity and agility across all businesses and functions. Effective December 31, 2014, in order to better align to the transforming company’s organization and resulting cost structure, certain costs were reclassified from other operating charges to selling, general and administrative expenses. Prior year data has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Other operating charges primarily include, costs associated with the Performance Chemical separation, product claim charges and non-capitalizable costs associated with capital projects. Selling, general and administrative expense primarily includes selling and marketing expenses, commissions, functional costs, and business management expenses. Cost of goods sold primarily includes the cost of manufacture and delivery, ingredients or raw materials, direct salaries, wages and benefits and overhead.

Foreign Currency Translation

The company's worldwide operations utilize the U.S. dollar (USD) or local currency as the functional currency, where applicable. The company identifies its separate and distinct foreign entities and groups the foreign entities into two categories: 1) extension of the parent (USD functional currency) and 2) self-contained (local functional currency). If a foreign entity does not clearly align with either category, factors are evaluated and a judgment is made to determine the functional currency.

For foreign entities where the USD is the functional currency, all foreign currency asset and liability amounts are remeasured into USD at end-of-period exchange rates, except for inventories, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured at historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts remeasured at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in income in the period in which they occur.

For foreign entities where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies are translated into USD at end-of-period exchange rates and the resultant translation adjustments are reported, net of their related tax effects, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. Assets and liabilities denominated in other than the local currency are remeasured into the local currency prior to translation into USD and the resultant exchange gains or losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Income and expenses are translated into USD at average exchange rates in effect during the period.

The company changes the functional currency of its separate and distinct foreign entities only when significant changes in economic facts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed. As a result of the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment, coupled with the company’s redesign initiative, the functional currency at certain of the company’s foreign entities is being re-evaluated which, in some cases, has resulted in a change in the foreign entities’ functional currency.

Venezuelan Foreign Currency

Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy under GAAP and the USD is the functional currency for the company's subsidiaries in Venezuela. The official exchange rate continues to be set through the National Center for Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX, previously CADIVI). Based on its evaluation of the restrictions and limitations affecting the availability of specific exchange rate mechanisms, management concluded in the second quarter of 2014 that the SICAD 2 auction process would be the most likely mechanism available. As a result, in the second quarter of 2014, the company changed from the official exchange rate to the SICAD 2 exchange rate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

During the first quarter of 2015, the Venezuelan government enacted additional changes to the country’s foreign exchange systems including the introduction of the SIMADI (Foreign Exchange Marginal System) auction process. Management has concluded that the SIMADI auction process would be the most likely exchange mechanism available. As a result, effective in the first quarter of 2015, the company changed from the SICAD 2 to the SIMADI exchange rate, to remeasure its Bolivar Fuertes (VEF) denominated net monetary assets which resulted in a charge of $3 recorded within other income, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The remaining net monetary assets and non-monetary assets are immaterial at June 30, 2015 .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share or its Equivalent. This guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented and earlier application is permitted. The company anticipates that this guidance will only impact disclosure and will not have an impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The amendments under the new guidance modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities and eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a deferral of the ASU effective date from annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending existing requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, discontinued operations reporting will be limited to disposal transactions that represent strategic shifts having a major effect on operations and financial results. The amended guidance also enhances disclosures and requires assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation to be classified as such for all periods presented in the financial statements. Public entities will apply the amended guidance prospectively to all disposals occurring within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. The company adopted this standard on January 1, 2015. Due to the change in requirements for reporting discontinued operations described above, presentation and disclosures of future disposal transactions after adoption may be different than under previous standards.

Note 2. Divestitures and Other Transactions

Performance Chemicals

On July 1, 2015 (the Distribution Date), DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (Chemours). As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2015, Chemours' financial results will be reflected in DuPont's Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation, along with comparative periods. See Note 15 for additional information.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , and the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, the company incurred, $119 and $200 , and $35 and $51 of costs associated with the transaction which were reported in other operating charges in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and separation activities within finance, tax, legal and information system functions. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 , the company incurred $20 of transaction costs for a premium associated with the early retirement of DuPont debt. The company exchanged notes received from Chemours in May 2015 (as part of a dividend payment) for DuPont debt that it then retired. These costs were reported in interest expense in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements.

Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls

In June 2014, the company sold Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls (GLS/Vinyls), a part of the Performance Materials segment, to Kuraray Co. Ltd. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $391 ( $273 net of tax). The gain was recorded in other income, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2014.

Note 3. Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net

Chemours Restructuring Program

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 , a restructuring charge of $61 was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net, consisting of severance and related benefit costs in the Performance Chemicals segment to achieve fixed cost and operational productivity improvements for Chemours post-spin.

Account balances and activity for the Chemours restructuring program are summarized below:



	Employee Separation Costs
Charges to income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015	$	61
Payments	(8		)
Balance as of June 30, 2015	$	53

2014 Restructuring Program

At June 30, 2015 , total liabilities related to the 2014 restructuring program were $183 . A complete discussion of restructuring initiatives is included in the company's 2014 Annual Report in Note 3, "Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net."

Account balances and activity related to the 2014 restructuring program are summarized below:



	Employee Separation Costs			Other Non-Personnel Charges ¹			Total
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	264		$	4		$	268
Payments	(77		)	(1		)	(78		)

Other adjustments	—			—			—
Balance as of June 30, 2015	$	180		$	3		$	183


¹	Other non-personnel charges consist of contractual obligation costs.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the company recorded adjustments to the estimated costs associated with the 2014 restructuring program in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. This was primarily due to lower than estimated individual severance costs and workforce reductions achieved through non-severance programs, partially offset by identification of additional projects in certain segments. There was no impact from these adjustments to the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. The adjustments impacted segment results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as follows: Agriculture - $(4) , Electronics & Communications - $11 , Industrial Biosciences - $(1) , Nutrition & Health - $(4) , Performance Chemicals - $2 , Performance Materials - $(2) , and Safety & Protection $1 , and Other - $(3) .

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, a pre-tax charge of $263 was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. The charge consisted of $166 employee separation costs, $3 of other non-personnel charges and $94 of asset shut down costs. The charge impacted segment results for the second quarter 2014 as follows: Agriculture - $47 , Electronics & Communications - $68 , Industrial Biosciences - $2 , Nutrition & Health - $8 , Performance Chemicals - $19 , Performance Materials - $29 , and Safety & Protection - $31 , Other - $2 , as well as Corporate expenses - $57 .

Cost Basis Investment Impairment

During the first quarter 2015, a $38 pre-tax impairment charge was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net within the Other segment. The majority relates to a cost basis investment in which the assessment resulted from the venture's revised operating plan reflecting underperformance of its European wheat based ethanol facility and deteriorating European ethanol market conditions. One of the primary investors communicated that they would not fund the revised operating plan of the investee. As a result, the carrying value of DuPont's 6 percent cost basis investment in this venture exceeds its fair value by $37 , such that an impairment charge was recorded.

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. 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 on net monetary asset positions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income, net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for income taxes on the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. The $26 net exchange gain (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , was driven by an $88 adjustment for gains, attributable to the first quarter 2015, on foreign exchange contracts. These contracts were used to align the hedge portfolio to the revised currency exposure of certain foreign entities associated with their change in functional currency during the first quarter of 2015 resulting from the Performance Chemicals separation, coupled with the company's redesign initiative. The impact of the adjustment was not material to either period. The increase in year-to-date pre-tax exchange gains over prior year was driven by gains on foreign currency contracts due to strengthening of the USD versus global currencies partially offset by losses on the related foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The $90 net exchange gain (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , includes a net $(32) pre-tax exchange loss associated with the devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia. The $(109) net exchange loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , includes $(58) and $(7) exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar and Ukrainian hryvnia, respectively. The $(205) net exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , includes $(58) , $(46) and $(14) exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuela bolivar, Ukrainian hryvnia, and Argentinian peso, respectively.


²	Miscellaneous income and expenses, net, includes interest items, certain insurance recoveries and litigation settlements and other items.

Note 5. Income Taxes

In the second quarter 2015 , the company recorded a tax provision of $230 , including $30 of tax benefit associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations and gains or losses on foreign currency contracts in addition to $26 of tax benefit associated with the reversal of a tax valuation allowance related to net operating losses. This valuation allowance reversal should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014. The impact of this adjustment was not material in either period.

Year to date 2015, the company recorded a tax provision of $796 , including $182 of tax expense primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations and gains or losses on foreign currency contracts in addition to $26 of tax benefit discussed above.

In the second quarter 2014 , the company recorded a tax provision of $366 , including $3 of tax expense, primarily associated with the company's policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Year to date 2014, the company recorded a tax provision of $723 , including $25 of tax benefit, primarily associated with the company's policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is reasonably possible that net reductions to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be in the range of $100 to $125 within the next twelve months with the majority due to the settlement of uncertain tax positions with various tax authorities.

Note 9. Long-Term Borrowings

In connection with the spin-off, as previously discussed in Note 2, the company received a dividend from Chemours in May 2015 of $3,923 comprised of a cash distribution of $3,416 and a distribution in-kind of $507 of 7% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (Chemours Notes Received). Chemours financed the dividend payment through issuance of approximately $4,000 of debt comprised of $1,500 aggregate principal amount of borrowing under a senior secured term loan facility with variable interest rates and a term of seven years, $1,350 of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2023, $750 of 7% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and €360 of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (collectively, Chemours' Debt). As of June 30, 2015, Chemours was a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of the company, as a result, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015 includes Chemours' Debt. The transfer of the liabilities associated with Chemours' Debt, as well as all other assets and liabilities transferred to Chemours, will be reflected in the company's financial statements in the third quarter of 2015.

In the second quarter of 2015, DuPont exchanged the Chemours Notes Received for $488 of company debt due in 2016 as follows: $152 of 1.95% notes, $277 of 2.75% notes, and $59 of 5.25% notes. The company paid a premium of $20 , recorded in interest expense in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements, in connection with the early retirement of the $488 of 2016 notes. The debt for debt exchange was considered an extinguishment.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Guarantees

Indemnifications

In connection with acquisitions and divestitures as of June 30, 2015 , the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transaction. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, the company indemnifies its duly elected or appointed directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, against liabilities incurred as a result of their activities for the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability or have a liability increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future payments is generally unlimited.

Obligations for Equity Affiliates & Others

The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to equity affiliates, customers and suppliers. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the company had directly guaranteed $409 and $513 , respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under the guarantees. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party.

The company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

In certain cases, the company has recourse to assets held as collateral, as well as personal guarantees from customers and suppliers. Assuming liquidation, these assets are estimated to cover 42 percent of the $229 of guaranteed obligations of customers and suppliers. Set forth below are the company's guaranteed obligations at June 30, 2015 :



	Short-Term		Long-Term		Total
Obligations for customers and suppliers ¹ :
Bank borrowings (terms up to 7 years)	$	155	$	73	$	228

Imprelis ^®

The company has received claims and lawsuits alleging that the use of Imprelis ^® herbicide caused damage to certain trees. Sales of Imprelis ^® were suspended in August 2011 and the product was last applied during the 2011 spring application season. The lawsuits seeking class action status were consolidated in multidistrict litigation in federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In February 2014, the court entered the final order dismissing these lawsuits as a result of the class action settlement.

As part of the settlement, DuPont paid about $7 in plaintiffs' attorney fees and expenses. DuPont also provided a warranty, which expired on May 31, 2015, against new damage, if any, caused by the use of Imprelis ^® on class members' properties. In the third quarter 2014, the company settled the majority of claims from class members that opted out of the class action settlement. About 30 opt-out actions are pending at June 30, 2015, a decrease of 10 from December 31, 2014.

DuPont recorded income of $35 for insurance recoveries, within other operating charges in the interim Consolidated Income Statements, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . At June 30, 2015 , DuPont had an accrual balance of $216 related to these claims and insurance receivables of $15 .

Insurance recoveries are recognized when collection of payment is considered probable. The remaining coverage under the insurance program is $300 for costs and expenses. DuPont has submitted requests for payment to its insurance carriers for costs associated with this matter. The timing and outcome remain uncertain.

Litigation

The company is subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of its business including product liability, intellectual property, commercial, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. Although considerable uncertainty exists, management does not anticipate that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, the ultimate liabilities could be material to results of operations in the period recognized.

PFOA

DuPont used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt), as a processing aid to manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia. At June 30, 2015 , DuPont has an accrual balance of $14 related to the PFOA matters discussed below.

The accrual includes charges related to DuPont's obligations under agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and voluntary commitments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. These obligations and voluntary commitments include surveying, sampling and testing drinking water in and around certain company sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national Provisional Health Advisory.

Drinking Water Actions

In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living near the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004 that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $23 and made a payment of $70 , which class counsel designated to fund a community health project. The company funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science panel of experts (the C8 Science Panel). The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to evaluate available scientific evidence on whether any probable link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and human disease.

The C8 Science Panel found probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol.

In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic testing of eligible class members. In September 2014, the medical panel recommended follow-up screening and diagnostic testing three years after initial testing, based on individual results. The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion of its protocol. The company is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members and, in addition, administrative costs associated with the program, including class counsel fees. In January 2012, the company put $1 in an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement. The court appointed Director of Medical Monitoring has established the program to implement the medical panel's recommendations and the registration process, as well as eligibility screening, is ongoing. Diagnostic screening and testing has begun and associated payments to service providers are being disbursed from the escrow account.

In addition, under the settlement agreement, the company must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA), and private well users.

Class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for those human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel determined a probable link exists. At June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, there were approximately 3,500 lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia. The number of lawsuits pending at June 30, 2015 , reflects the filing of about 50 additional cases and plaintiffs' voluntary dismissal of about 40 cases during the second quarter 2015. In accordance with a stipulation reached in the third quarter 2014 and other court procedures, these lawsuits have been or will be served and consolidated in multi-district litigation in Ohio federal court (MDL). Based on information currently available to the company the majority of the lawsuits allege personal injury claims associated with high cholesterol and thyroid disease from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. At June 30, 2015 , 37 of the pending lawsuits allege wrongful death. While attorneys for the plaintiffs have indicated that additional lawsuits may be filed, the rate of such filings has substantially decreased. In 2014, six plaintiffs from the MDL were selected for individual trial. The first trial is scheduled to begin in September 2015, and the second in November 2015. DuPont denies the allegations in these lawsuits and is defending itself vigorously.

Additional Actions

An Ohio action brought by the LHWA is ongoing. In addition to general claims of PFOA contamination of drinking water, the action claims “imminent and substantial endangerment to health and or the environment” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In the second quarter 2014, DuPont filed a motion for summary judgment and LHWA moved for partial summary judgment. In the first quarter of 2015, the court granted in part and denied in part both parties’ motions. As a result, the litigation process is continuing with respect to certain of the plaintiffs’ claims and trial has been set for October 2015.

PFOA Summary

While it is probable that the company will incur costs related to funding the medical monitoring program, such costs cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding the level of participation by eligible class members and the scope of testing. DuPont believes that it is reasonably possible that it could incur losses related to the other PFOA matters discussed above; however, a range of such losses, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, due to the uniqueness of the individual MDL plaintiff's claims and the company's defenses to those claims both as to potential liability and damages on an individual claims basis, among other factors.

Environmental

The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company accrues for environmental remediation activities consistent with the policy as described in the company's 2014 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Much of this liability results from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred to as Superfund), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and similar state and global laws. These laws require the company to undertake certain investigative, remediation and restoration activities at sites where the company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where company-generated waste was disposed. The accrual also includes estimated costs related to a number of sites identified by the company for which it is probable that environmental remediation will be required, but which are not currently the subject of enforcement activities.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of potentially responsible parties. At June 30, 2015 , the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of $477 , relating to these matters and, in management's opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. The average time frame over which the accrued or presently unrecognized amounts may be paid, based on past history, is estimated to be 15 - 20 years. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and, under adverse changes in circumstances, the potential liability may range up to $1,100 above the amount accrued as of June 30, 2015 .

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5,000 share buyback plan that replaced the 2011 plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the company purchased and retired 1.0 million and 4.6 million shares, respectively, in the open market, which offset the dilution from employee compensation plans in the first and second quarter of 2015. As of June 30, 2015 , the company has purchased 34.7 million shares at a total cost of $2,353 under the plan. There is no required completion date for the remaining stock purchases.

In the first quarter 2015, DuPont announced its intention to buy back shares of about $4,000 using the distribution proceeds received from Chemours. In connection with the completion of the spin-off of Chemours, the Board of Directors authorized the use of the distribution proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock as follows: $2,000 to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2015 with the remainder to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2016.

Note 12. Financial Instruments

Debt

The estimated fair value of the company's total debt, including interest rate financial instruments, was determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2014 Annual Report in Note 1, “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. ” Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's debt was approximately $13,217 and $11,394 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respe ctively.

Cash Equivalents

The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its stated value. The estimated fair value of the company's cash equivalents was determined using level 1 and level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2014 Annual Report in Note 1, “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. ” Level 1 measurements are based on observable net asset values and level 2 measurements are based on current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity. The company held $334 and $1,436 of money market funds (level 1 measurements) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The company held $2,214 and $3,293 of other cash equivalents (level 2 measurements) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

Derivative Instruments

Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps. The company has not designated any nonderivatives as hedging instruments.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

The company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The company's derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the company's derivative instruments were as follows:



	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	1,000
Foreign currency contracts	14		434
Commodity contracts	126		388
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency contracts	9,015		10,586
Commodity contracts	17		166

Foreign Currency Risk

The company's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign currency rate changes. Accordingly, the company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and cash flows.

The company routinely uses forward exchange and option contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, net of related tax effects, are minimized. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. The objective of the hedge program is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as copper, corn, soybeans and soybean meal. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agricultural commodity exposures.

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company uses foreign currency exchange instruments such as forwards and options to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. In addition, the company occasionally uses forward exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated transactions such as capital expenditures.

Commodity Contracts

The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments, including options, futures and swaps, to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agriculture commodity exposures.

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the next two-year period. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring. The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company routinely uses forward exchange and options contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Commodity Contracts

The company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn, soybeans and soybean meal.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

Spin-off of The Chemours Company

On July 1, 2015, DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (Chemours). As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2015, Chemours' historical financial results for periods prior to the Distribution Date will be reflected in DuPont's Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation. To effect the spin-off, DuPont distributed to its stockholders one share of Chemours common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every five shares of DuPont common stock, par value $0.30 per share, (the Distribution) outstanding as of 5:00 p.m. June 23, 2015, the record date for the Distribution. In lieu of fractional shares of Chemours, stockholders of DuPont will receive cash, which generally will be taxable.

During the third quarter of 2015, the company expects to record a curtailment gain estimated to be $230 to $240 related to employees transferring to Chemours who will cease accruing benefits under DuPont retirement plans upon transfer coupled with the associated required remeasurement. This gain will be reflected in income from discontinued operations of the company’s Consolidated Financial Results.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information was derived from the historical consolidated income statements of DuPont, which were prepared in accordance with GAAP. This unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is presented as if the spin-off had occurred on January 1, 2015 and has been presented for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to reflect or be indicative of DuPont's results of operations had the spin-off occurred as of the date presented, and should not be taken as representation of DuPont's future results of operations.

DuPont's current estimates on a discontinued operations basis are preliminary as the company finalizes discontinued operations accounting to be reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2015 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015.

For some of the important factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements, see the Risk Factors discussion set forth under Part I, Item 1A of the company's 2014 Annual Report.

Recent Developments

Separation of Performance Chemicals

On July 1, 2015 (the Distribution Date), DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment though the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Chemours. The company filed a Form 8-K (including pro forma financials) on July 8, 2015 in connection with the completion of the spin. Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, Chemours' financial results will be reflected in DuPont's Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation, along with comparative prior periods.

In connection with the spin-off, the company received a dividend from Chemours in May 2015 of $3,923 million comprised of a cash distribution of $3,416 million and a distribution in-kind of $507 million in the form of ten-year notes maturing in 2025 with a fixed interest rate of 7% (the Chemours Notes Received). DuPont will use the distribution proceeds to buy back shares of common stock. See Liquidity & Capital Resources for additional information.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, DuPont anticipates it will incur additional transaction costs of approximately $130 million. These costs primarily relate to non-recurring professional fees associated with regulatory filings and separation activities within finance, legal and information system functions. The company expects a majority of the transaction costs to be incurred as of December 31, 2015.

Table of Contents

Redesign Initiative

In June 2014, DuPont announced its global, multi-year initiative to redesign its global organization and operating model to reduce costs and improve productivity and agility across all businesses and functions. DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to realign and rebalance staff function support, enhance operational efficiency, and to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment. The company continues to make significant progress in this effort with cost savings of $0.10 per share and $0.20 per share in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and expected to increase to $0.40 per share for 2015. The company expects to yield savings on a run-rate basis of approximately $1 billion by the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.3 billion by 2017.

Results of Operations

Overview

The following is a summary of the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 :


•	Net Sales were $8.6 billion versus $9.7 billion in the same period last year, down 11 percent due to negative currency impact, the absence of sales from divested businesses, lower sales volume and local selling prices and product mix.

•

Total segment pre-tax operating income (PTOI) was $1.6 billion, 16 percent below $2.0 billion last year, principally due to the absence of a prior-year gain on the sale of Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls (GLS/Vinyls), the negative currency impact and a significant decline in Performance Chemicals PTOI, partially offset with productivity improvements, a pre-tax gain of $112 million related to the company’s settlement of a legal claim and lower restructuring charges.


•	Net Income was $940 million, 12 percent below $1,070 million, principally due to lower segment PTOI. Earnings per share were $1.03 verses $1.15 in the same period last year.


•	Cost savings from the strategic redesign of the company’s operating model improved earnings $0.10 per share.

The following is a summary of the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 :


•	Net Sales were $17.8 billion versus $19.8 billion in the same period prior last year, down 10 percent due to negative currency impacts, lower sales volume and local selling prices, and the absence of sales from divested businesses.

•

Total segment PTOI was $3.6 billion, 15 percent below $4.2 billion last year, principally due to the absence of a prior-year gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls, negative currency impact from a stronger U.S. dollar, and PTOI declines in Performance Chemicals and Agriculture partially offset with productivity improvements, a pre-tax gain of $112 million related to the company’s settlement of a legal claim and lower restructuring charges.


•	Net Income was $2.0 billion, 21 percent below $2.5 billion last year, principally due to lower segment PTOI. Earnings per share were $2.15 verses $2.70 in the same period last year.


•	Cost savings from the strategic redesign of the company’s operating model improved earnings $0.20 per share.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $8.6 billion versus $9.7 billion in the prior year, an 11 percent decline, principally attributable to a 5 percent negative currency impact, largely from a weakness in the Euro, Russian ruble, Brazilian real and eastern European currencies; a 2 percent impact from absence of sales from divested businesses; 2 percent lower volume and 2 percent lower local prices. Higher prices in Agriculture were more than offset by lower prices in the other segments, principally Performance Chemicals. Lower volume primarily reflects a decline in Agriculture in the Americas. Total company sales in developing markets were $2.5 billion, down 11 percent, reflecting a 7 percent negative currency impact, largely due to weaker currencies in Eastern Europe and Latin America, and a combined 4 percent negative impact from lower local selling prices, volume, and absence of sales from divested businesses. Developing markets include China, India and countries located in Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.

The tables below shows a regional breakdown of net sales based on location of customers and percentage variances from the prior year:



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2015				Percent Change Due to:
	Net Sales ($ Billions)		Percent Change vs. 2014		Local Price and Product Mix		Currency		Volume		Portfolio and Other
Worldwide	$	8.6	(11	)	(2	)	(5	)	(2	)	(2	)
U.S. & Canada	4.3		(8	)	(2	)	(1	)	(3	)	(2	)

Table of Contents

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $17.8 billion, down 10 percent versus $19.8 billion in the prior year. Lower sales are attributable to a 5 percent negative currency impact, 2 percent lower volume, a 2 percent negative impact from absence of sales from divested businesses, and 1 percent lower local prices. Volume reflects declines in Agriculture and Electronics & Communications, partly offset with increases in Performance Materials and Industrial Biosciences. Agriculture prices were 2 percent higher, but were more than offset by lower prices in the other segments, principally Performance Chemicals. Total company sales in developing markets were $5.0 billion, down 13 percent versus $5.8 billion in the prior year, reflecting 8 percent negative currency impact, largely due to weaker currencies in Eastern Europe and Latin America, lower local selling prices, volume decline, and the absence of sales from divested businesses.



	Six Months Ended June 30, 2015				Percent Change Due to:
	Net Sales ($ Billions)		Percent Change vs. 2014		Local Price and Product Mix		Currency		Volume		Portfolio and Other

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, totaled $283 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $125 million compared to $408 million in the prior year primarily due to the absence of the $391 million gain related to the sale of GLS/Vinyls within the Performance Materials segment, offset by $112 million of income for a litigation claim settled in the second quarter of 2015 and an increase in pre-tax exchange gain (loss) of $135 million. The pre-tax exchange gain was driven by an $88 million adjustment for gains, attributable to the first quarter 2015, on foreign exchange contracts. These contracts were used to align the hedge portfolio to the revised currency exposure of certain foreign entities associated with their change in functional currency during the first quarter of 2015 resulting from the Performance Chemicals separation, coupled with the company's redesign initiative. The impact of the adjustment was not material to either period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other income, net, was $481 million compared to $425 million in the prior year, an increase of $56 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax exchange gains, which was driven by gains on foreign currency contracts due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus global currencies, as well as the $112 million of income for a litigation claim settlement in the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by the absence of the $391 million gain related to the sale of GLS/Vinyls within the Performance Materials segment.

Additional information related to the company's other income, net, is included in Note 4 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS totaled $5.3 billion in the second quarter 2015 versus $6.0 billion in the prior year, a 12 percent decrease principally due to the currency impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and divestitures. COGS as a percent of net sales decreased to 61 percent from 62 percent last year primarily due to improved productivity partially offset by the negative impact of currency which decreased sales by 5 percent and COGS by 4 percent.

COGS for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $10.8 billion versus $12.0 billion in the prior year, a 10 percent decrease principally due to the currency impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and divestitures. COGS as a percent of net sales increased to 61 percent from 60 percent last year primarily due to the negative impact of currency which decreased sales by 5 percent and COGS by 4 percent, partially offset by improved productivity.

Other Operating Charges

Other operating charges were $349 million in the second quarter 2015, versus $300 million in the prior year, a 16 percent increase, primarily due to increased separation transaction costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other operating charges were $632 million versus $586 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased separation costs partially offset by insurance recoveries and lower project related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A totaled $1.4 billion for the second quarter 2015 versus $1.5 billion in the prior year. Year-to-date SG&A totaled $2.7 billion versus $2.9 billion in the prior year. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus global currencies, cost savings from the company's operational redesign initiative, and lower selling and commission expense. SG&A was approximately 16 percent of net sales for the second quarter 2015 and 15 percent for 2014. SG&A was approximately 15 percent of net sales for the six months ended in 2015 and 2014.

Research and Development Expense (R&D)

R&D totaled $515 million and $545 million for the second quarter 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of currency, improved productivity and lower spend. R&D was approximately 6 percent of net sales for the second quarter 2015 and 2014.

R&D was relatively flat at $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six months ended in June 30, 2015, R&D is slightly less due to the impact of currency, improved productivity and lower spend. R&D was approximately 6 percent and 5 percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $127 million in the second quarter 2015, compared to $94 million in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, interest expense was $211 million versus $197 million in the prior year. The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher borrowings for Chemours debt and the premium paid on the early retirement of DuPont debt. See Liquidity & Capital Resources for additional information.

Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net

Employee separation / asset related charges, net totaled $61 million in the second quarter 2015, compared to $263 million in the prior year. In the second quarter 2015, a restructuring charge of $61 million was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net consisting of severance and related benefit costs in the Performance Chemicals segment to achieve fixed cost and operational productivity improvements for Chemours post-spin. In the second quarter 2014, $263 million was recorded for the 2014 restructuring program.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, employee separation / asset related charges, net were $99 million, compared to $263 million in 2014. The six months ended June 30, 2015 included charges recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net of $38 million in the first quarter related to cost investment impairments and $61 million consisting of severance and related benefit costs in the Performance Chemicals segment. The six months ended June 30, 2014 includes a charge of $263 million was recorded for the 2014 restructuring program.

See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Provision for Income Taxes

The company's effective tax rate for the second quarter 2015 was 19.6 percent as compared to 25.4 percent in 2014. The lower effective tax rate is primarily driven by the impact of the company’s higher exchange gains recognized for the second quarter of 2015 on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions which are often not taxable in their local jurisdictions. The unfavorable impact of the Venezuelan bolivar devaluation in 2014 also contributed to the decrease in the effective tax rate.

The company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 28.7 percent as compared to 22.3 percent in 2014. About 5 percent of the higher effective tax rate is driven by the impact of the company’s hedging program which is largely taxable in the U.S., whereas the offsetting exchange losses on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions are often not tax deductible in their local jurisdictions. Transaction costs related to the Performance Chemicals segment and geographic mix of earnings also contributed to the increase in the effective tax rate.

See Note 5 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Outlook

In July 2015, the company revised its 2015 outlook to exclude the anticipated full-year earnings from the Performance Chemicals segment. In addition, consistent with continuing weakness in global agricultural markets, the company is reducing expectations for the year in its Agriculture segment due to weaker demand in global crop protection markets, reduced expectations for corn area in Latin America, and lower than expected soybean volumes in North America.

Agriculture - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $3,218 million decreased $397 million, or 11 percent, driven by lower volumes and the negative impact of currency of $194 million, partially offset by higher local prices and improved mix of Pioneer's new corn hybrids and soybean varieties. Decreased volumes are due to reduced soybean seed sales, lower crop protection volumes, and reductions in global corn planted area. PTOI of $774 million decreased $15 million, or 2 percent, on lower sales and a $84 million negative currency impact, partially offset by improved productivity and disciplined cost actions and the absence of $47 million associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014. Second quarter 2015 PTOI included charges of $4 million associated with the 2014 restructuring program.

Table of Contents

Year-to-date segment sales of $7,155 million decreased $854 million, or 11 percent on the negative impact of currency of $528 million and lower volumes, partially offset by improved mix of Pioneer's new corn hybrids and soybean varieties and pricing actions in Europe to mitigate the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. Decreased volumes are due to reduced soybean sales, reductions in global corn planted area and the timing of seed shipments. PTOI of $1,948 million decreased $283 million or 13 percent on $290 million negative currency impact and lower sales partially offset by disciplined cost actions, increases in pricing from new product mix, insurance recoveries of $35 million for recovery of costs for customer claims related to the use of the Imprelis® herbicide and the absence of $47 million associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014. See Notes 10 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the Imprelis ^® matter.

Outlook For the full year 2015, sales are expected to be in the high-single-digits percent lower with PTOI in the low-twenty percent range below 2014 due to the negative impact of currency and lower volumes, partially offset by pricing gains, productivity and disciplined cost management.

Electronics & Communications - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $534 million decreased $83 million, or 13 percent due to competitive pressures impacting sales of Solamet ^® paste, lower pricing from the pass-through of lower metals prices and the negative impact of currency partially offset by volume growth in Tedlar ^® film in photovoltaics and products for the consumer electronics market. PTOI of $104 million increased $83 million due to productivity gains and the absence of $68 million associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014, partially offset by lower sales. Second quarter 2015 PTOI included $11 million benefit associated with the 2014 restructuring program.

Year-to-date segment sales of $1,055 million decreased $142 million, or 12 percent on lower volumes and reduced selling prices due to competitive pressures impacting sales of Solamet ^® paste, lower pricing from the pass-through of metals prices, and the negative impact of currency partially offset by increased volumes in Tedlar ^® film and products for the consumer electronics market. PTOI of $189 million increased $93 million or 97 percent driven by productivity gains and the absence of $68 million associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014, partially offset by the above mentioned competitive pressures and negative impact of currency.

Outlook For the full year 2015, sales are expected to be down high-single-digits percent on lower sales of Solamet ^® paste, lower metal prices and currency. PTOI is expected to increase in the low-single-digits percent as productivity gains will more than offset the negative impacts of currency.

Industrial Biosciences - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $288 million decreased $29 million, or 9 percent driven by the negative impact of currency of $24 million, lower pricing, and lower biomaterials sales in U.S. residential home improvement markets, partially offset by volume growth in enzymes, principally for animal nutrition, health and personal care and food markets. PTOI of $49 million decreased $8 million, or 14 percent, on lower pricing and the negative impact of currency, partially offset by productivity improvements and increased enzyme demand. Second quarter 2015 and second quarter 2014 PTOI included charges of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, associated with the 2014 restructuring program.

Year-to-date segment sales of $573 million decreased $45 million, or 7 percent due to the negative impact of currency of $39 million and lower prices and lower demand for biomaterials, partially offset by enzyme volume growth discussed above. PTOI of $105 million decreased $8 million, or 7 percent driven by lower pricing and the negative impact of currency, partially offset with productivity gains and enzyme demand.

Outlook For the full year 2015, sales are expected to be down mid-single-digits percent due primarily to currency. PTOI is expected to be down low-single-digits percent as higher volumes, prices and improved mix will be more than offset by currency.

Nutrition & Health - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $826 million decreased $100 million, or 11 percent, driven by the negative impact of currency of $83 million and the pass-through of lower soybean crush commodity prices. Volume growth in probiotics, texturants, cultures and ingredient systems was offset by lower volumes in specialty proteins. PTOI of $99 million increased $2 million, or 2 percent driven by productivity gains, mostly offset by the negative impact of currency of $12 million. Second quarter 2015 and second quarter 2014 PTOI included charges of $4 million and $8 million, respectively, associated with the 2014 restructuring program.

Year-to-date segment sales of $1,639 million decreased $148 million, or 8 percent, driven by the negative impact of currency of $151 million partially offset with volume growth. Volume growth in probiotics, texturants, cultures and ingredient systems was partially offset by lower volumes in specialty proteins. PTOI of $188 million decreased $2 million, or 1 percent driven by the negative impact of currency of $23 million, partially offset by volume and productivity gains.

Table of Contents

Outlook For the full year 2015, sales are expected to be mid-single-digits percent lower as volume gains are more than offset by currency. PTOI is expected to be about flat as both product margin expansion and productivity gains are offset by currency.

Performance Chemicals - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $1,502 million decreased $194 million, or 11 percent, and PTOI of $54 million decreased $178 million or 77 percent, driven by lower prices primarily for titanium dioxide, and the negative impact of currency of $68 million for segment sales and $43 million for PTOI. Titanium dioxide prices continue to be negatively impacted by strong regional competition. PTOI decline was partially offset by the absence of a $19 million charge associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014. The second quarter 2015 PTOI included a $61 million charge associated with the Chemours restructuring program and a $2 million benefit associated with the 2014 restructuring program.

Year-to-date 2015 segment sales of $2,866 million decreased $421 million, or 13 percent, and PTOI of $183 million decreased $255 million or 58 percent, driven by lower prices and volumes primarily for titanium dioxide, and the negative impact of currency of $124 million for segment sales and $71 million for PTOI.

Performance Materials - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $1,365 million decreased $217 million, or 14 percent, driven by the negative impact of currency of $104 million, the portfolio changes from the sale of Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls (GLS/Vinyls) and lower ethylene pricing. Partially offsetting the declines are increased volumes of ethylene as prior year ethylene sales were constrained due to a scheduled outage at the Orange, Texas ethylene unit. Second quarter PTOI of $309 million decreased $356 million or 54 percent, driven by the absence of the $391 million pre-tax gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls in the second quarter 2014 and the negative impact of currency of $42 million, partially offset by lower product costs, productivity and ethylene volume growth. Second quarter 2015 and 2014 PTOI included a charge of $2 million and $29 million, respectively, associated with the 2014 restructuring plan.

Year-to-date 2015 segment sales of $2,776 million decreased $340 million, or 11 percent, driven by the portfolio changes from the sale of GLS/Vinyls, the negative impact of currency of $180 million and lower ethylene pricing. Partially offsetting the declines are increased volumes of ethylene as prior year ethylene sales were constrained in advance of a scheduled outage at the Orange, Texas ethylene unit. PTOI of $636 million decreased $322 million or 34 percent, driven by the absence of the $391 million pre-tax gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls in the second quarter 2014 and the negative impact of currency of $66 million, partially offset by volume growth of ethylene and lower product costs.

Outlook For the full year 2015, sales are expected to be down about 10 percent due primarily to currency, portfolio changes from the sale of GLS/Vinyls, and lower ethylene prices. PTOI is expected to be down mid-single-digits percent as volume growth is more than offset by the negative impacts from currency and portfolio changes.

Safety & Protection - Second quarter 2015 segment sales of $925 million decreased $104 million or 10 percent due to the portfolio impact of the Sontara ^® divestiture and the negative impact of currency of $47 million. Increased demand for Tyvek ^® protective material, including medical packaging and protective garments, was offset by lower demand, particularly in the oil and gas industry, impacting Nomex ^® thermal resistant fiber and Sustainable Solutions offerings. PTOI of $308 million increased $130 million or 73 percent, driven by a pre-tax gain of $112 million, net of legal expenses, recorded in other income, net related to the company’s settlement of a legal claim. In addition, PTOI includes the negative impact of currency of $20 million and higher costs associated with the first quarter outage at the Chambers Works facility in New Jersey that were offset by productivity improvements and the absence of a $31 million charge associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014. The second quarter 2015 PTOI included a $1 million benefit associated with the 2014 restructuring program.

Year-to-date 2015 segment sales of $1,834 million decreased $142 million or 7 percent due to the portfolio impact of the Sontara ^® divestiture and the negative impact of currency of $85 million partially offset by volume growth driven by increased demand for Tyvek ^® protective material. PTOI of $492 million increased $139 million or 39 percent, driven by a pre-tax gain of $112 million, net of legal expenses, recorded in other income, net related to the company’s settlement of a legal claim. In addition, PTOI includes the negative impact of currency of $35 million and higher costs associated with the first quarter outage at the Chambers Works facility in New Jersey offset by productivity improvements and the absence of a $31 million charge associated with the 2014 restructuring program in second quarter 2014.

Outlook For the full year 2015, sales are expected to be down in the low-single-digits percent range as volume growth in Tyvek ^® , Nomex ^® , and Kevlar ^® high-strength materials will be more than offset by the negative impacts of currency and portfolio changes from the Sontara ^® divestiture. PTOI is expected to increase low-single-digits percent range due to volume growth and productivity.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

Information related to the company's liquidity and capital resources can be found in the company's 2014 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 six months ended June 30, 2015.



(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	5,302	$	7,034
Total debt	12,735		10,656

Total debt as of June 30, 2015 was $12.7 billion, a $2.0 billion increase from $10.7 billion as of December 31, 2014. The increase in total debt is primarily due to the debt issued by Chemours. These Chemours arrangements were offset by a $488 million debt exchange, in which the company retired $152 million of 1.95% notes, $277 million of 2.75% notes, and $59 million of 5.25% notes all due in 2016. The company paid a premium of $20 million in connection with the early retirement of the $488 million of 2016 notes. The company's debt was also reduced due to the pay down of maturing debt.

In connection with the separation, the company received dividend proceeds from Chemours in May 2015 of $3,923 million comprised of a cash distribution of $3,416 million and a distribution in-kind of $507 million in the form of ten-year notes maturing in 2025 with a fixed interest rate of 7%. Chemours financed the dividend payment through issuance of approximately $4,000 million of debt comprised of $1,500 million aggregate principal amount of borrowing under a senior secured term loan facility with variable interest rates and a term of seven years, $1,350 million of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2023, $750 million of 7% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and €360 million of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2023. Since at June 30, 2015, Chemours was a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of the company, DuPont’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the period ended June 30, 2015 includes Chemours’ Debt. The transfer of the liability associated with Chemours’ Debt, as well as all other assets and liabilities transferred to Chemours, will be reflected in DuPont’s financial statements in the third quarter of 2015.

The company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are $5.3 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively. The $1.7 billion decrease was primarily due to cash used to fund normal working capital needs, payments of the shareholder dividends, as well as debt retirement, partially offset by cash received from issuance of Chemours debt.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash used for operating activities was $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, essentially equal to the same period last year. The decline in net income coupled with higher income tax payments was offset by various working capital benefits.

Cash used for investing activities was $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.2 billion for the same period last year. The $0.8 billion increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to the absence of proceeds from the sale of the GLS/Vinyls business which occurred in 2014 coupled with an increase in investment in short-term financial instruments partially offset by an increase in cash settlements from foreign currency contracts. Purchases of property, plant and equipment increased by $0.2 billion primarily due to an adjustment to reflect these purchases on a cash basis. The impact of the adjustment was not material to prior periods.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.4 billion of cash used for financing activities for the same period last year. The $3.4 billion increase in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to Chemours borrowings coupled with lower repurchase of common stock.

Dividends paid to shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $0.9 billion. In July 2015, the Board of Directors declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.38 per share. The company has paid quarterly consecutive dividends since the company’s first dividend in the fourth quarter 1904.

In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion share buyback plan. During the three and six months ended June, 30, 2015, the company purchased and retired 1.0 million and 4.6 million shares, respectively, in the open market which offset the dilution from employee compensation plans in the first and second quarter 2015. As of June 30, 2015 , the company has purchased 34.7 million shares at a total cost of $2.4 billion under the plan. There is no required completion date for the remaining stock purchases.

In the first quarter 2015, DuPont announced its intention to buy back shares of about $4 billion using the distribution proceeds received from Chemours. In connection with the completion of the spin-off of Chemours, the Board of Directors authorized the use of the distribution proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock as follows: $2 billion to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2015 with the remainder to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2016. The company expects to use an accelerated share repurchase plan in connection with the $2 billion buyback by year end.
