General Comments Background On April 1, 2019, DowDuPont completed the separation of its materials science business and Dow Inc. became the direct parent company of TDCC, owning all of the outstanding common shares of TDCC. For filings related to the period commencing April 1, 2019 and thereaf ter, TDCC was deemed the predecessor to Dow Inc., and the historical results of TDCC are deemed the historical results of Dow Inc. for periods prior to and including March 31, 2019. The separation was contemplated by the merger of equals transaction effective August 31, 2017, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017. TDCC and Historical DuPont each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont and, as a result, TDCC and Historical DuPont became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, TDCC and Historical DuPont engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. Dow Inc. was f ormed as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont to serve as the holding company for the materials science business. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Inf ormation In order to prov ide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations and results by segment, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information has been included in the f ollowing f inancial schedules. The unaudited pro f orma f inancial information is based on the consolidated financial statements of TDCC, adjusted to give effect to the separation from DowDuPont as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2017. For the twelv e months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, pro f orma adjustments have been made for (1) the margin impact of various manufacturing, supply and service related agreements entered into with DuPont and Cortev a in connection with the separation which prov ide for different pricing than the historical intercompany and intracompany pricing practices of TDCC and Historical DuPont, and (2) the elimination of the impact of ev ents directly attributable to the Merger, internal reorganization and business realignment, separation, distribution and other related transactions (e.g., one-time transaction costs). The unaudited pro f orma f inancial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Dow's results of operations actually would hav e been had the separation f rom DowDuPont been completed as of January 1, 2017, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Dow. The unaudited pro f orma information does not reflect restructuring or integration activities or other costs f ollowing the separation f rom DowDuPont that may be incurred to achieve cost or growth sy nergies of Dow.

Non-GAAP & Definitions Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes information that does not conform to GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year-over-year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Dow does not provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period.

Dow announces targets to conserve water and nature
| • | Dow expands Protect the Climate targets to include climate adaptation benchmarks focused on water and nature |
| • | This reflects Dow’s holistic approach to climate protection, considering both climate change mitigation and adaptation |
MIDLAND, Mich. – May 16, 2024 – Dow (NYSE: DOW) today announced it will expand its Protect the Climate targets by setting distinct milestones for climate change mitigation that focus on water and nature conservation. These targets include:
| • | By 2030, Dow will implement a robust land management strategy, its top 20 water-dependent sites will have water stewardship plans, and 10 of those sites will be water-resilient. |
| • | By 2035, all Dow sites will have water stewardship plans. |
| • | By 2050, Dow will partner to conserve 50,000 acres of habitat and its top 20 water-dependent sites will be water-resilient. |
As a science-based company, Dow understands the impact that rapidly changing climate and socio-economic conditions are having on water and nature. The new Water & Nature strategy is designed to support resiliency for its sites and surrounding natural ecosystems to be able to withstand unpredictable conditions, such as drought and flooding.
Dow is uniquely positioned to apply its materials science expertise and advanced engineering capabilities for the benefit of water resiliency and healthy ecosystems. Its new strategy focuses on three main areas:
| • | Sustainably managing site footprint, supporting business continuity through world-class water stewardship and positively impacting habitat through smart land management; |
| • | Engaging the entire supply chain, working to reduce the demand and impact on water and nature ecosystems; and |
| • | Innovating with customers and value chain partners, deploying research and development (R&D) for products and solutions that are better for water and nature. |
“To deliver on Dow’s purpose—a sustainable future for all—we must maintain a balanced relationship with water and nature,” said Jim Fitterling, Dow’s chair and chief executive officer. “Dow’s holistic, next-generation Water & Nature strategy is designed to support water resilience for our sites and their surrounding communities, conserve habitat in key ecosystems, and positively impact nature across the supply chain as we continue to drive business growth.”
Dow primarily uses water to manage cooling processes, with more than 95% of water withdrawn returned to the environment. Water and nature are also connected to Dow’s Decarbonize & Grow strategy, as some decarbonization technologies and bio-based resources present emerging dependencies on natural ecosystems.
To advance water resilience and healthy ecosystems, Dow will work together with water basin stakeholders and conservation organizations to support consistent quality and access, adequate supply, and infrastructure that is prepared for fluctuating conditions. The new strategy reflects the complexity of water and nature stewardship by considering Dow’s operations and its supply chain, as well as water basin and land dynamics.
“This new Water & Nature strategy builds upon decades of work at Dow to conserve healthy ecosystems. Considering the rapidly changing conditions, we conducted a detailed evaluation of our strategies and commitments and determined we needed to take this next step on our journey,” said Andre Argenton, Dow’s chief sustainability officer and vice president of Environment, Health & Safety. “For the sake of our planet, we want to be a pacesetter for our industry in decarbonization, water stewardship and healthy ecosystems.”
Dow is committed to reporting progress on these targets with voluntary disclosures under the Taskforce for Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) beginning with the 2025 reporting year. The Company will also continue to report withdrawal, consumption and intensity as part of its annual INtersections progress report.

Dow and Freepoint Eco-Systems announce supply agreement to transform plastic waste into new circular products
The supply agreement for 65,000 metric tons of circular feedstock advances the Companies’ shared goal to support a circular economy for plastics in North America.
| • | Once completed, Freepoint Eco-Systems’ advanced recycling facility, to be built in Arizona, will be ISCC Plus-Certified and will recycle end-of-life plastic waste, otherwise destined for landfills or incineration, from the region. |
| • | As the sole offtaker from phase one of the Arizona facility, Dow will transform the certified-circular liquid supply into virgin-grade equivalent plastics and develop new products to meet customer demand for recycled content through a mass balance approach. |
| • | The supply agreement demonstrates Dow’s momentum towards achieving its “Transform the Waste” goal to accelerate the circular ecosystem. |
MIDLAND, Mich. & STAMFORD, Conn. – May 16, 2024 – Today, Dow (NYSE: DOW) and Freepoint Eco-Systems Supply & Trading LLC (“Freepoint Eco-Systems”) announced an agreement for an estimated 65,000 metric tons per year of certified-circular, plastic waste-derived pyrolysis oil to produce new, virgin-grade equivalent plastics in Dow’s U.S. Gulf Coast operations. Together, Dow and Freepoint Eco-Systems are building a recycling system that converts plastic waste into valuable materials and fosters a circular economy for plastics in North America.
The pyrolysis oil will be produced at a new advanced recycling facility owned and operated by Freepoint Eco-Systems Eloy Recycling LLC, a Freepoint Eco-Systems affiliate. Once completed, the new advanced recycling facility, to be constructed in Arizona, will be ISCC Plus-Certified. The facility will process end-of-life plastic waste in the region, diverting it from landfills or incineration, by converting that waste into recycled pyrolysis oil. For every ton of plastic waste, approximately 70% is expected to be converted to pyrolysis oil and sold exclusively to Dow for phase one of the facility, beginning as early as 2026.
Utilizing the circular liquid supply, Dow will produce new products with virgin-grade equivalent plastics, replacing those made from conventional feedstock. The resulting circular products will be suitable for use in various applications including food-grade packaging (such as pet food, confectionery, and snacks) as well as medical and pharmaceutical packaging, while maintaining existing product performance and reducing reliance on fossil feedstocks.
“This agreement with Dow represents a substantial step toward accelerating the circular economy in the region and helps to scale what will be an important advanced recycling facility in the U.S.,” added Jeff McMahon, managing director at Freepoint Eco-Systems. “We are expanding capabilities for more circular economy solutions for plastic waste globally.”
“Our agreement with Freepoint Eco-Systems marks another important step in Dow’s pursuit to source circular supply and transform end-of-life plastic waste into products that help our customers meet their recycled content goals,” said Victor Zapata, North America commercial vice president of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics. “The Dow team is energized to work with an innovative partner like Freepoint Eco-Systems that shares our commitment to building a much-needed infrastructure for circular plastics.”
“Through this collaboration, Dow is redefining how we source raw materials for our products while tackling the challenge of plastic pollution,” said Issam Lazraq, Dow global sustainable feedstocks director, Feedstocks and Commodities. “By converting locally available plastic waste, that was destined for landfills or incineration, into pyrolysis oil supply for our U.S. Gulf Coast operations, we are building a reliable circular feedstock supply portfolio.”
As Freepoint Eco-Systems previously announced, once fully operational, the new facility will have a total nameplate capacity to recycle approximately 180,000 tons of plastic waste per year – equivalent to the weight of approximately 9,000 fully loaded semi-trailer trucks. Phase one, expected to start up in 2026, will initially process 90,000 tons of waste, yielding 65,000 metric tons of pyrolysis oil sold exclusively to Dow. The facility will be located in Eloy, Arizona, on 40 acres of undeveloped land.
“The development of this advanced recycling facility by Freepoint Eco-Systems and its affiliates, supported by the agreement with Dow, furthers Arizona’s position as a leader in the circular economy evolution for the region, creating quality green jobs and fueling continued sustainable economic growth for Eloy,” said Eloy Mayor Micah Powell.
Dow and Freepoint Eco-Systems share a commitment to advancing more sustainable, commercially viable, innovative solutions that build a global circular economy. This agreement is an example of how Dow works with expert partners to scale a materials ecosystem that aims to unlock the value of waste and build a progressive recycling infrastructure for plastics.

The parties anticipate that subsequent phases of the partnership will include sourcing of plastic waste feedstocks in South-east Asia including potential expansion into other parts of the region including China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand.
“Asia has one of the largest sources of convertible plastic waste. We want to disrupt how the region currently handles waste and structure a new model that values, sources, and transforms plastic waste. Our partnership with SCGC will enable both companies to be key players in enabling greater circularity in the region by leveraging our complementary portfolio, research and development capabilities, and technology licensing,” said Bambang Candra, APAC commercial vice president, Packaging & Specialty Plastics, Dow. “Combined with our existing technical expertise in producing high-performance resins, our customers will also find value in the optimization of total cost in use, availability and quality of plastic waste across the materials ecosystem.”
“This collaboration between SCGC and Dow marks a significant milestone where two leading organizations in sustainable plastics will join forces to drive and elevate the circular plastic ecosystem in the Asia Pacific region efficiently throughout the value chain,” said Sakchai Patiparnpreechavud, chief executive officer and president of SCGC. “SCGC is ready to leverage its expertise in green polymer and compound technology to enhance the performance of plastic resins. This initiative aims to restore the value to used plastics according to circular economy principles through mechanical recycling and advanced recycling processes while maintaining properties that satisfy customers’ needs. This will enhance business potential and support the growing demand for high-quality PCR in the global market, from packaging to electrical appliances, reflecting SCGC’s Low Waste, Low Carbon approach concretely.”
“Dow Thailand is proud to begin a new chapter in our 57-year journey in the country with a groundbreaking circular economy partnership alongside our trusted partner, SCGC. Our 37 years of shared commitment to excellence and sustainability make SCGC the ideal partner to explore the new joint business opportunities, and together, we aim to further enhance the value we deliver to our customers and contribute to a sustainable future for the region,” added Chatchai Luanpolcharoenchai, Dow Thailand president.
The partnership supports Dow’s “Transform the Waste” target which aims to transform plastic waste and other forms of alternative feedstock to commercialize 3 million metric tons of circular and renewable solutions annually by 2030. The partnership also addresses SCGC’s sustainability goals under the “Low Waste, Low Carbon” initiative, striving for carbon neutrality by 2050. SCGC is also reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% and expanding its production capacity for its green polymer portfolio with a sales target of 1 million tons per year by 2030.

Dow, State of Wyoming and University of Wyoming partner to advance oil recovery
Field pilot projects under the Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative will extend the life of oilfields and recover more oil with fewer resources
MIDLAND, Mich, – May 16, 2024 – In a unique state-university-industry collaboration, Dow (NYSE: DOW), the State of Wyoming and the University of Wyoming have come together to launch The Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative (WGII), a program designed to enhance oil well productivity and recovery from existing fields and wells in Wyoming.
WGII will provide field pilot testing of advanced oil recovery methods, such as foam-assisted gas injection using recovered hydrocarbon gases, carbon dioxide or other gases for revitalization of oil fields, as well as mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions by operations in Wyoming. The State of Wyoming will provide $25 million in matching funds through the University of Wyoming to assist the oil and gas operators selected for the project – including, Ballard Petroleum Holdings, Devon Energy Corp. and Occidental – on enhanced recovery projects over a five-year period. Private operators selected for WGII contribute $25 million to the pilot, matched by $25 million from the state. As part of these projects, Dow and the Center of Innovation for Flow Through Porous Media (COIFPM) at the University of Wyoming, along with the oil and gas operators, will implement technologies to catalyze the beneficial use of greenhouse gases for carbon sequestration and oil recovery.
“The Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative is a powerful example of the possibilities that can be brought to life through collaboration with like-minded organizations, in this case meeting the world’s growing energy demand with more sustainable technology,” said Pankaj Gupta, business vice president, Dow Industrial Solutions. “Our team is proud to share our materials science portfolio and experience to help shape a future where oil recovery is optimized, resources are conserved, and greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced in Wyoming and across the globe.”
Dow will support the field implementation and the research activities to be conducted at COIFPM by providing tailored conformance control agents (foaming additives) and sharing learnings from previous field pilot projects. Initial research will develop novel formulations using Dow’s ELEVATE™ additives, which have the potential to increase oil production significantly and extend the economic life of oil assets. These formulations will then be further optimized and piloted in several Wyoming-based reservoirs with the selected oilfield operators to improve the utilization efficiency of gas injection recovery techniques.
“In Wyoming, our energy strategy is focused on using the full value of our energy resources and enhanced oil recovery is an important part of that strategy,” said Governor Mark Gordon. “The Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative will not only help breathe new life into our oilfields, but also allow us to recover oil more efficiently while supporting our critical energy and manufacturing industries.”

Dow India signs carbon neutral façade agreement with Glass Wall Systems
The collaboration with India’s leading façade fabricator sets a global precedent to support carbon neutral silicone sealants for building façades
MIDLAND, Mich. – May 16, 2024 – Signaling a shared commitment towards carbon neutrality, Dow Chemical International Private Limited (Dow India), and Glass Wall Systems India signed an agreement for Dow to supply DOWSIL™ Facade Sealants from Dow’s Decarbia™ portfolio of reduced-carbon solutions, for Glass Wall System’s curtain wall system.
A first-of-its-kind global initiative, this collaboration demonstrates an unwavering dedication from organizations in the building and infrastructure industry to reduce embodied carbon in building materials. Dow’s carbon neutral silicone sealants for building façades, verified through PAS 2060 Standard(1), have the unique advantage of a lower embodied carbon footprint due to Dow’s investments in the decarbonization of its silicon metal assets in Brazil.
“Silicone sealants used in façades are already known for their positive contribution to lowering the operating carbon emissions coming from the cooling and heating of buildings, as they provide durable bonding in insulated prefabricated façade elements,” said Jean-Paul Hautekeer, global marketing director for Building & Infrastructure at Dow Consumer Solutions. “With this program, we are going one step further by eliminating their embedded carbon. We appreciate the shared vision and collaboration with Glass Wall Systems.”
Glass Wall Systems can achieve carbon neutrality through the use of DOWSIL™ 983 Structural Glazing Sealant and DOWSIL™ 791 Weatherproofing Sealant. The carbon neutrality, following PAS 2060, was achieved by the responsible sourcing of low-carbon feedstocks, Dow’s actions to reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process, the use of renewable energy sources, and compensation of the remaining emissions.
Aligned with the Decarbia™ portfolio, the DOWSIL™ carbon neutral silicone service for building façades from Dow supports green-building design initiatives, enhances façade sustainability, and can improve green-building ratings across the construction industry.
In addition to carbon neutral silicones, Dow continues to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for the building and infrastructure industry. For more information on the latest developments, please visit dow.com/dowbuildingscience.
