Section 7 - Regulation FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
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”). The transaction is expected to close around the end of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. In addition, on February 18, 2022, the Company announced it is advancing the process to divest its Delrin® acetal homopolymer (H-POM) business (the Delrin® business together with the M&M Divestiture businesses, the "M&M Businesses”), subject to entry into a definitive agreement and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Delrin® divestiture together with the M&M Divestiture discussed above (the "M&M Divestitures") represent a strategic shift that will have a major impact on DuPont's operations and results.

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.

These reporting changes have been retrospectively applied for all periods presented.

Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited Revised Combined Statements of Operations and Historical Segment Information

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”). The transaction is expected to close around the end of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. In addition, on February 18, 2022, the Company announced it is advancing the process to divest its Delrin® acetal homopolymer (H-POM) business (the Delrin® business together with the M&M Divestiture businesses, the "M&M Businesses”), subject to entry into a definitive agreement and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Delrin® divestiture together with the M&M Divestiture discussed above (the "M&M Divestitures") represent a strategic shift that will have a major impact on DuPont's operations and results. The Auto Adhesives & Fluids, MultibaseTM and Tedlar® product lines previously within the historic Mobility & Materials segment (the "Retained Businesses") are not included within the M&M Divestitures.

The following unaudited revised financial information and historical segment information for DuPont are derived from DuPont’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes adjusted to give effect to the separation of the M&M Businesses through the M&M Divestitures, which is treated as discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“ASC 205”). The unaudited revised financial information reflects the Company’s current best estimate of its historical results. These amounts are considered preliminary, and as such, actual amounts could differ from these estimates. The Retained Businesses are reported in Corporate & Other along with previously divested businesses and general corporate costs. These reporting changes have been retrospectively applied for all periods presented.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
These supplemental schedules include information that does not conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company, including allocating resources. DuPont’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information related to the ongoing performance of DuPont to offer a more meaningful comparison related to future results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided herein and are defined below.

The historic Mobility & Material segment costs that are 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 Adjusted EPS and 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 Adjusted EPS and Operating EBITDA.

Adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted ("Adjusted EPS"), is defined as earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted, excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, after-tax impact of amortization expense of intangibles, the after-tax impact of non-operating pension / other post employment benefits (“OPEB”) credits / costs and Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs.

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 are provided on the following pages.

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