DuPont Reports 4Q and Full-Year Operating EPS of $0.27 and $2.77

Increasing 2016 Cost Savings to Annual Run Rate of $1.0 Billion

Company Expects 2016 Full-Year Operating Earnings of $2.95 - $3.10 Per Share

Fourth-Quarter Highlights

Fourth-quarter operating earnings per share were $0.27, in line with expectations, versus $0.57 in prior year. GAAP1 (losses) earnings per share were ($0.26) versus $0.63 in prior year.

Excluding currency, sales declined 1 percent. Currency negatively impacted sales by an additional 8 percent.

Segment pre-tax operating earnings of $553 million included $170 million, or $0.17 per share, of negative impact from currency. Growth in Industrial Biosciences and Nutrition & Health was more than offset by declines in Agriculture, Performance Materials, Safety & Protection and Electronics & Communications.

Cost reductions from operational redesign contributed an incremental $0.10 per share to fourth-quarter operating earnings.

Actions underway for 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan, expected to reduce operating costs2 by about $1.0 billion on run-rate basis by end of 2016, which represents about $730 million in cost reductions in 2016 versus prior year.

Completed $2 billion accelerated share repurchase program; announces first quarter dividend of $0.38 per share.

Full-Year Highlights

Reported full-year operating earnings per share of $2.77 versus $3.36 in prior year. Operating earnings, excluding negative currency impact of $0.71 per share, increased 4 percent. GAAP1 earnings per share were $2.09 versus $3.39 in prior year.

Excluding currency and portfolio, sales declined 3 percent. Currency and portfolio negatively impacted sales by an additional 7 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

Segment pre-tax operating earnings of $4.2 billion included approximately $785 million of negative impact from currency. Operating margins expanded in each segment, except Agriculture, on cost reductions and productivity.

Cost reductions from 2014 operational redesign are essentially complete and contributed an incremental $0.40 per share to full-year operating earnings.

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 26, 2016 - DuPont (NYSE: DD), a science company that brings world-class, innovative products, materials, and services to the global marketplace, today announced fourth-quarter 2015 operating earnings of $0.27 per share compared with $0.57 per share in the prior year. GAAP1 (losses) earnings were ($0.26) per share, compared with $0.63 per share in the prior year. Refer to Schedule B for details of significant items.

For the full-year 2015, DuPont delivered operating earnings of $2.77 per share, compared with $3.36 per share in the prior year. GAAP1 earnings were $2.09 per share, compared with $3.39 per share in the prior year.

Fourth-quarter sales were $5.3 billion, down 9 percent versus prior year due to negative impacts from currency (8 percent) and volume (1 percent). Full-year sales were $25.1 billion, down 12 percent versus prior year due to negative impacts from currency (7 percent), portfolio (2 percent) and volume (3 percent).

DuPont’s board of directors approved a first-quarter dividend of 38 cents per share, the 446th consecutive quarterly dividend since the company's first dividend in the fourth quarter of 1904. The first-quarter dividend of 38 cents per share of common stock is payable on March 14, 2016, to stockholders of record at the close of business on Feb. 12, 2016. Regular quarterly dividends of $1.125 per share on the $4.50 series preferred stock and $0.875 cents per share on the $3.50 series preferred stock also were declared, both payable on April 25, 2016, to stockholders of record as of April 8, 2016.

On Dec. 11, 2015, DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company announced that their boards of directors unanimously approved a definitive agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals. The combined company will be named DowDuPont. The merger is expected to close in the second half of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and approval by both Dow and DuPont shareholders. The parties intend to subsequently pursue a separation of DowDuPont into three independent, publicly traded companies through tax-free spin-offs. These separations would occur as soon as feasible, subject to regulatory and board approval.

“We are making progress on key initiatives, including further improving our cost structure and restructuring our organization to enhance our competitiveness,” said Ed Breen, Chair and CEO of DuPont. “In this pivotal year for DuPont we have three priorities: deliver operating earnings growth while positioning our businesses to compete successfully over the long term; continue to improve our capital allocation and working capital performance; and complete the proposed merger of equals with Dow.  Our merger process is on track. We are meeting key milestones and have begun our planning to create three strong, highly focused, independent businesses in agriculture, material science and specialty products.”

(1)  See Schedules B and C for listing of significant items and their impact by segment.
(2)  See Schedule D for additional information on exchange gains and losses.
The following is a summary of business results for each of the company’s reportable segments comparing fourth quarter with the prior year, unless otherwise noted.

Agriculture - An operating loss of $54 million resulted in $188 million lower operating earnings as increases in local price and cost reductions and continued productivity improvements were more than offset by a $139 million negative currency impact and about a $30 million negative impact from the continued shutdown of the LaPorte manufacturing facility. Prior year results benefitted from a timing impact from performance-based compensation adjustments and $36 million in gains from portfolio actions. Excluding the impact of currency, the segment would have reported operating earnings of $85 million.
Electronics & Communications - Operating earnings of $87 million decreased $5 million, or 5 percent, as cost reductions and continued productivity improvements were more than offset by competitive pressures impacting Solamet® paste. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have decreased by about 10 percent.
Industrial Biosciences - Operating earnings of $55 million increased $11 million, or 25 percent, as benefits from cost reductions and continued productivity improvements were partially offset by a $2 million negative impact from currency and slightly lower pricing. Operating margins improved 450 basis points. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have increased 30 percent.
Nutrition & Health - Operating earnings of $85 million increased $6 million, or 8 percent, as cost reductions, continued productivity improvements and broad-based volume growth led by probiotics, cultures, and ingredient systems, more than offset the absence of an $18 million gain on termination of a distribution agreement in the prior year and a $12 million negative currency impact. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have increased by about 23 percent.




6

Performance Materials - Operating earnings of $281 million decreased $45 million, or 14 percent. Cost reductions, continued productivity improvements and increased demand for Performance Polymers in global automotive markets, were more than offset by lower ethylene price and volume and $19 million of negative currency impact. Operating earnings included a $33 million benefit from the sale of a business and tax benefits associated with a manufacturing site. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have decreased by about 8 percent.
Safety & Protection - Operating earnings of $182 million decreased $23 million, or 11 percent. Cost reductions and productivity improvements were more than offset by lower demand and a $2 million negative currency impact. Volume declines in Nomex® thermal-resistant fiber, Kevlar® high-strength material and Sustainable Solutions offerings were driven by weakness in the oil and gas industry and in military spending. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have decreased by about 10 percent.

2016 Outlook
Current difficult global economic conditions in agriculture and slower growth in emerging markets are expected to continue, challenging the company’s sales growth in 2016. The company expects 2016 operating earnings of $2.95 to $3.10 per share, including an expected benefit of $0.64 per share from the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan. The increase in the expected benefit results from identification of additional savings that will be delivered from the existing plans, including previously announced employee reduction estimates. The benefit from the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan will be weighted toward the second half of 2016 as specific actions continue to be implemented in the first and second quarters. 2016 operating earnings also includes approximately $0.30 per share of estimated negative currency impact due to the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar, pressuring both the top and bottom line. A higher base tax rate, reflecting the expected geographic mix of earnings, is expected to negatively impact operating earnings by $0.05 - $0.10 per share. The currency impact is expected to be most significant in the first half of the year due to a further strengthening of the U.S dollar. Given the seasonality of the company’s operating earnings from Agriculture in the northern hemisphere, the company anticipates approximately two-thirds of the expected currency impact to occur in the first half of 2016. Excluding the impact of currency, the guidance for full-year operating earnings per share, including expected benefits from cost savings and share repurchases, represents a 17-23 percent increase year over year.

DuPont will hold a conference call and webcast on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016, at 8:00 AM EDT to discuss this news release.  The webcast and additional presentation materials can be accessed by visiting the company’s investor website (Events & Presentations) at www.investors.dupont.com.  A replay of the conference call webcast will be available for 90 days by calling 1-630-652-3042, Passcode 9594983#.  For additional information see the investor center at http://www.dupont.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Management believes that certain non-GAAP measurements are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company. Such measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in schedules A, C and D.

Schedule of Significant Items from Continuing Operations
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)



SCHEDULE B (continued)
 
(1)
Third quarter and first quarter 2015 included charges of $(9) and $(12), respectively, recorded in other operating charges associated with transaction costs related to the separation of the Performance Chemicals segment. Second quarter 2015 included charges of $(25) associated with transaction costs related to the separation of the Performance Chemicals segment consisting of $(5) recorded in other operating charges and $(20) recorded in interest expense. Second quarter 2015 also includes a tax charge of $(17) due to a state tax rate change associated with the separation.
 
Fourth, third, second and first quarter 2014 included charges of $(16), $(10), $(4) and $(3), respectively, recorded in other operating charges associated with transaction costs related to the separation of the Performance Chemicals segment.

 
 
(2)
Fourth quarter 2015 included a $(798) restructuring charge consisting of $(793) recorded in employee separation/asset related charges, net and $(5) recorded in other income, net associated with structural actions across all businesses and staff functions globally to operate more efficiently by further consolidating businesses and aligning staff functions more closely with them. The charge included $(656) of severance and related benefit costs, $(109) of asset related charges, and $(33) of contract termination costs. Pre-tax charges by segment are: Agriculture - $(161), Electronics & Communications - $(93), Industrial Biosciences - $(51), Nutrition & Health - $(47), Performance Materials - $(61), Safety & Protection - $(53), Other - $(2), and Corporate expenses - $(330).
 

 
Fourth and Second quarter 2015 included a $23 and $(2) restructuring benefit (charge) recorded in employee separation/asset related charges, net, respectively, associated with the 2014 restructuring program. These adjustments were primarily due to the identification of additional projects in certain segments, offset by lower than estimated individual severance costs and workforce reductions achieved through non-severance programs. The net reduction impacted segment earnings as follows: Agriculture - $(3), Electronics & Communications - $15, Industrial Biosciences - $(1), Nutrition & Health - $(3), Performance Materials - $(1), Safety & Protection $4, Other - $(1), and Corporate expenses - $11.
 
As a result of the company's plan to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of the Performance Chemicals segment and to improve productivity across all businesses and functions, fourth quarter and second quarter 2014 included $(297) and $(244) restructuring charges, respectively. The charges include $(301) of severance and related benefit costs, $(17) of other non-personnel charges, and $(223) of asset related charges, including $(65) of charges associated with the restructuring actions of a joint venture. The fourth quarter charge consisted of $(232) recorded in employee separation/asset related charges, net, and $(65) recorded in other income, net. The second quarter charge was recored to employee separation/asset related charges, net. Fourth quarter 2014 pre-tax charges by segment were: Agriculture - $(87), Electronics & Communications - $(16), Industrial Biosciences - $(11), Nutrition & Health - $(7), Performance Materials - $(70), Safety & Protection - $(21), Other - $(8), and Corporate expenses - $(77). Second quarter pre-tax charges by segment are: Agriculture - $(47), Electronics & Communications - $(68), Industrial Biosciences - $(2), Nutrition & Health - $(8), Performance Materials - $(29), Safety & Protection - $(31), Other - $(2), and Corporate expenses - $(57).
 
 
(3)
Fourth quarter and second quarter 2015 included gains of $33 and $112, respectively, net of legal expenses, recorded in other income, net related to the company's settlement of a legal claim. This matter relates to the Safety & Protection segment.
 
 
(4)
Fourth quarter 2015 included a benefit of $130 in other operating charges for reduction in accrual for customer claims related to the use of the Agriculture segment’s Imprelis® herbicide. At December 31, 2015, the company had an accrual balance of $41 which represents the company’s best estimate associated with resolving the remaining claims for this matter.
The company recorded net insurance recoveries of $147 and $35 in other operating charges in the third and first quarter 2015, respectively, and $210 in the fourth quarter of 2014 for recovery of costs for customer claims related to the use of the Imprelis® herbicide.


 
 
(5)
During first quarter of 2015, a $(37) pre-tax impairment charge was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net for a cost basis investment within the Other segment. 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 has communicated they would not fund the revised operating plan of the investee. As a result, the carrying value of our 6% equity investment in this venture exceeds its fair value.

 
 
(6)
First quarter 2015 included a charge of $(40) in other income, net associated with remeasuring the company’s Ukrainian hryvnia net monetary assets. Ukraine’s central bank adopted a decision to no longer set the indicative hryvnia exchange rate. The hryvnia became a free-floating exchange rate and lost approximately a third of its value through the quarter.

 
 
(7)
Second quarter 2014 included a charge of $(58) recorded in other income, net associated with remeasuring the company's Venezuelan net monetary assets from the official exchange rate to the SICAD II exchange system.
 
 
(8)
Fourth quarter 2014 included a gain of $240 recorded in other income, net associated with the sale of copper fungicides and land management businesses, both within the Agriculture segment. Second quarter 2014 included a gain of $391 recorded in other income, net associated with the sale of Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls in the Performance Materials segment.
 
 
(9)
Fourth quarter 2015 included charges of $(10) recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses related to transaction costs associated with the planned merger with the Dow Chemical Company announced on December 11, 2015.
 
 
(10)
Earnings per share for the year may not equal the sum of quarterly earnings per share due to the changes in average share calculations.

Exchange Gains/Losses on Operating Earnings (3)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes. The net pre-tax exchange gains and losses are recorded in other income, net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on the Consolidated Income Statements.

Conference Call DuPont Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Earnings January 26, 2016


 
1 Regulation G The attached charts include company information that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company. These measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies. This data should be read in conjunction with previously published company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K. These reports, along with reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are available on the Investor Center of www.dupont.com under Filings and Reports – Reconciliations and Other Data. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are also included with this presentation. Forward-Looking Statements This document contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about the company’s strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approval, market position, anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions, timing of anticipated benefits from restructuring actions, outcome of contingencies, such as litigation and environmental matters, expenditures and financial results, and timing of, as well as expected benefits, including synergies, from proposed merger with The Dow Chemical Company and intended post-merger separations, are forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be realized. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company’s control. 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 are: fluctuations in energy and raw material prices; failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; ability to respond to market acceptance, rules, regulations and policies affecting products based on biotechnology and, in general, for products for the agriculture industry; outcome of significant litigation and environmental matters, including realization of associated indemnification assets, if any; failure to appropriately manage process safety and product stewardship issues; changes in laws and regulations or political conditions; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inflation, interest and currency exchange rates; business or supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, natural disasters and weather events and patterns which could affect demand as well as availability of products for the agriculture industry; ability to protect and enforce the company’s intellectual property rights; successful integration of acquired businesses and separation of underperforming or non-strategic assets or businesses; and risks related to the agreement entered on December 11, 2015, with The Dow Chemical Company pursuant to which the companies have agreed to effect an all- stock merger of equals, including the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, the ability to fully and timely realize the expected benefits of the proposed transaction and risks related to the intended business separations contemplated to occur after the completion of the proposed transaction. The company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new information. Developing Markets Total developing markets is comprised of Developing Asia, Developing Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. A detailed list of all developing countries is available on the Earnings News Release link on the Investor Center website at www.dupont.com.

Operating earnings included a $33 million benefit from the sale of a business and tax benefits associated with a manufacturing site.  Pricing gains, cost reductions and continued productivity in Agriculture were more than offset by the negative impact of currency and about a $30 million negative impact from the LaPorte shutdown.

APPENDIX 1: FOURTH QUARTER 2015 SEGMENT COMMENTARY This data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s fourth quarter earnings news release dated January 26, 2016, DuPont’s 4Q 2015 Earnings Conference Call presentation materials and reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures included in the presentation materials and posted on the DuPont Investor Center website at www.dupont.com. 1/25/2016 16


 
Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 17 Industrial Biosciences In Industrial Biosciences, fourth-quarter sales declined 6 percent as flat volumes were more than offset by significant pressure from currency and slightly lower prices. Volume in enzymes, animal nutrition and biomaterials was flat with the prior year. While strength in household and personal care and food helped Bioactives deliver volume and price improvements, these gains were more than offset by currency and unfavorable pricing trends in Biomaterials, which saw continued pressure from petroleum-based alternatives. Despite the sales decline, operating earnings of $55 million increased 25 percent ($11 million) in the quarter, due to cost reductions and continued productivity partly offset by negative pricing. Operating margins improved 450 basis points year over year. Excluding a $2 million negative impact of currency, operating earnings would have increased by 30 percent. Sales for Industrial Biosciences for the full year matched the fourth-quarter trend, declining 6 percent, driven by currency. Volume growth and pricing gains in Bioactives offset weakness in Biomaterials. Operating earnings rose 6% to $203 million for 2015. Volume gains, cost reductions and productivity more than offset pressure from price/mix and currency. Turning to 2016, in the first quarter, we anticipate sales up by the low single digits percent, reflecting volume growth from bioactives partly offset by continued pressure from currency. We expect first-quarter operating earnings to to be down by the mid single digit percent, with cost reductions and continued productivity offset by higher input costs and currency. As for the full-year outlook, we project 2016 sales growth in the low-single digits percent, driven by volume improvement, pricing and the impact of new product introductions in bioactives, including increased market penetration in the food segment. We anticipate that operating earnings will be about flat, as cost savings and productivity are expected to be offset by higher product costs and currency.


 
In Nutrition & Health, the business continued to deliver solid results and margin improvement despite significant headwinds from currency. Sales were 4 percent lower as broad-based volume growth of 4 percent -- led by probiotics, cultures, and ingredient systems -- was more than offset by an 8 percent negative impact from currency. Operating earnings increased $6 million, or 8 percent, as cost reductions, productivity improvements and volume growth more than offset the absence of a $18 million gain on termination of a distribution agreement in the prior year and a $12 million negative currency impact. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have increased by about 23 percent. For the full year, sales were 8 percent lower as solid volume growth in a challenging market was more than offset by the negative impact of currency. Operating earnings were up 1 percent as cost reductions, productivity improvements and volume gains more than offset the negative impact of currency. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings would have increased by about 15 percent. Full-year operating margin improved about 110 basis points, and we have grown operating margins year-over-year for ten consecutive quarters. Looking forward to 2016, market conditions are expected to remain challenging with currency headwinds persisting, primarily in Europe. In the first quarter, we expect sales to be down low-single digits percent as volume growth is more than offset by the negative impact of currency with operating earnings up low-single digits percent, benefitting from cost reductions and continued productivity. Full-year 2016 sales are expected to be down low-single digits percent as volume growth, driven by investments in probiotics and cultures, is more than offset by the negative impact of currency. We expect operating earnings will be up high-teens percent, benefiting from cost reductions and productivity improvements, further expanding operating margins. Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 18 Nutrition & Health


 
In Electronics & Communications, fourth-quarter sales were 14 percent lower due to the impact of competitive pressures on sales of Solamet® paste, lower metals pricing and the negative impact of currency. Operating earnings of $87 million decreased $5 million, or 5 percent, as cost reductions and continued productivity were more than offset by lower sales of Solamet® paste. For the full year, sales were 13 percent lower as volume growth in Tedlar® film in photovoltaics and in consumer electronics related businesses was more than offset by the impact of competitive pressures on sales of Solamet® paste, lower metals pricing and the negative impact of currency. Operating earnings were 7 percent higher as cost reductions and productivity improvements more than offset lower sales. Looking forward to 2016, we expect the photovoltaic market to remain strong with module installations forecasted to increase mid-teens percent, driving strong growth in Tedlar® film in photovoltaics. Segment results are expected to continue to be negatively impacted by declines in Solamet® paste with the impact lessening in the second half of the year due to more favorable year-over-year comparisons and expected new product introductions. We anticipate consumer electronics markets will have a weaker start to the year but strengthen in the second half as channel inventories are worked off. For the first quarter we expect sales to be down mid-teens percent from continuing challenges in Solamet® paste, weaker consumer electronics demand and lower metals prices. Operating earnings are expected to be down mid-teens percent as cost reductions and productivity are not able to offset lower sales. Full year 2016 sales are expected to be about flat as strong volume growth in Tedlar® film for photovoltaics is offset by lower sales of Solamet® paste and lower metals pricing. For the full year we expect operating earnings to be in the low- twenty percent range higher from increased volume and cost reductions and continued productivity improvements.

Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 20 Safety & Protection Sales of $864 million in the fourth quarter declined 8 percent on a 4-percent negative impact of volume, a 3-percent negative impact of currency and a 1-percent negative impact from price. Demand from the oil and gas industry and the military was weak, which lowered sales of Nomex® thermal resistant fiber, Kevlar® high-strength materials, and Sustainable Solutions offerings. Supply constraints for Tyvek® limited its sales growth for the quarter. Fourth-quarter operating earnings of $182 million declined 11 percent, including $2 million of negative impact from currency. Benefits from cost reductions and continued productivity were more than offset by pressure from volume declines, higher unit costs and currency. For 2015, sales of $3.5 billion declined by 9 percent. Excluding 4 points of pressure from currency and 4 points from portfolio changes, sales declined 1 percent due to softness in volume. Operating earnings for the segment in 2015 declined by 9 percent to $704 million, including benefits from cost reductions and productivity, more than offset by higher unit costs associated with the Chamber Works outage, unfavorable currency and volumes. Turning to 2016, in the first quarter, sales are expected to be down by the mid teens percent, driven by volume declines (reflecting continued weakness in oil and gas and military tenders), pressure from currency and pricing. We anticipate operating earnings to be down high teens percent vs. prior year, as cost reductions and continued productivity will be more than offset by the impact of our lower sales and currency. Looking ahead to full-year 2016, we project sales up in the low single digits percent, with volume growth partly offset by currency pressures. Operating earnings are anticipated to grow by the mid teens percent, based on cost reductions and productivity improvements, leading to operating margin expansion for the year.


 
Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 21 Performance Materials Sales of $1.3 billion were down 11 percent on lower ethylene prices and the negative impact of currency. Price was down 6 percent in the quarter, with average ethylene spot prices down over 60 percent year over year. Currency negatively impacted sales by 5 percent. Segment volume decreased 1 percent as increased demand for Performance Polymers in global automotive markets, primarily Asia and Europe, was offset by lower ethylene volumes. According to IHS, global automotive market demand was up 2 percent in the fourth quarter, driven by growth in China, Europe and North America. IHS forecasts 8 percent growth in China as a result of economic stimulus actions in the quarter. IHS is forecasting year over year growth of 3 percent in 2016, with 2 percent growth in first quarter versus prior year. Operating earnings were down 14 percent as cost reductions, productivity improvements and increased Performance Polymer demand were more than offset by lower ethylene price and volume and $19 million of negative impact from currency. Operating earnings included a $33 million benefit from the sale of a business and realization of tax benefits associated with a manufacturing site. Full year operating earnings were down 4 percent, as cost reductions, productivity improvements and volume growth for ethylene were more than offset by $132 million of negative currency impact, lower ethylene price and the portfolio change from the sale of Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls. Prior year ethylene sales were constrained due to the scheduled outage at the ethylene unit in Orange, Texas. Excluding the impact of currency, operating earnings increased 6 percent year over year. Operating margins increased 200 basis points to close the year at about 23 percent.


 
Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 22 Performance Materials (continued) For the first quarter, we anticipate sales will be down in the high-single-digits percent range, with operating earnings down about 25 percent, on lower ethylene price and volume, the negative impact of currency and competitive pressure on local pricing. For the full year of 2016, we anticipate sales down in the low-single digits and operating earnings down about 10 percent as volume growth will be more than offset by lower ethylene price and the negative impact of currency. 2015 operating earnings included $49 million of benefits from a joint venture, the sale of a business and realization of tax benefits associated with a manufacturing site.


 
Segment Commentary Third Quarter Earnings 2015 23 Agriculture In our Agriculture segment, fourth-quarter sales are largely driven by the summer and Safrinha seasons in Latin America and the beginning of shipments to customers in the northern hemisphere in advance of the 2016 planting season. Continued challenging conditions in agriculture markets were compounded by strong currency headwinds, particularly from a weaker Brazilian Real. Fourth-quarter Agriculture sales were 11 percent lower as 6 percent higher local prices were more than offset by a 16 percent negative currency impact. The segment had a 1 percent negative impact from portfolio actions. Seed sales were 2 percent higher, and crop protection sales were down 24 percent versus last year. Higher corn seed volumes from a strong start to the North America season and a shift in seasonal timing in Brazil (which benefited the fourth quarter versus the third quarter) were offset by lower crop protection volumes. Low expected insect pressure, the adoption of insect-protected soybean varieties, higher inventories and a challenging macro environment have softened the demand for insect control products, where we have a strong market position. Insect control volumes continue to be impacted by the shutdown of the LaPorte manufacturing facility. An operating loss of $54 million resulted in $188 million lower operating earnings as increases in local price and cost reductions and continued productivity were more than offset by a $139 million negative currency impact and about a $30 million negative impact from the continued shutdown of the LaPorte manufacturing facility. Prior-year results benefitted from a timing impact from performance-based compensation adjustments and $36 million in gains from portfolio actions. Excluding the impact of currency, the segment would have reported operating earnings of $85 million. For the full year, sales decreased 13 percent as higher local prices were more than offset by a 9 percent negative impact of currency, and lower seed and crop protection volumes. Operating earnings were 30 percent lower as the decrease in sales


 
Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 24 Agriculture (continued) was partially offset by cost reductions and productivity improvements. Excluding the impact of currency, the segment would have reported about 5 percent lower operating earnings. Turning to the outlook for 2016, farmer net returns for row crops continue to trend down as land and rent prices have lagged the transition to lower commodity prices while grain stocks remain at elevated levels. We expect the economic environment in the agriculture sector to remain challenged with commodity prices at the low end of normal until demand accelerates or there is a disruption in global production. Volatile currency markets will also continue to present headwinds given the size of our businesses in Europe and Latin America. As farmers look to relative economics between crop alternatives, we expect a slight year-over-year uptick in Brazil Safrinha and North America corn area, provided weather cooperates during planting. Our order book in North America suggests a modest improvement in corn demand at the expense of soybeans in a highly competitive seed market. In crop protection, continued weak demand for foliar-applied insecticides in Brazil and elevated distributor inventories will continue to present challenges. For the first half of 2016, which reflects the majority of the northern hemisphere season, we expect Agriculture segment sales to be mid-single digits percent lower with operating earnings low-teens percent below 2015 as local price gains and the benefit of cost actions are more than offset by lower insecticide and soybean volumes and currency. Our volume forecast includes a continued impact from the shutdown of the LaPorte manufacturing facility. Volumes will be more challenged in the first quarter due to the strong start in North America corn seed, which benefited the fourth quarter of 2015 and a larger first-quarter impact in Brazil crop protection. We expect first quarter sales to be about ten percent lower and operating earnings in the low-twenty percent range below 2015. For the full year we expect sales to be down mid-single digits percent and operating earnings about flat as local price gains and cost actions are offset by currency headwinds and lower volumes. Excluding the impact of currency, we would expect operating earnings to be up about 10 percent.


 
Segment Commentary Fourth Quarter Earnings 2015 25 Agriculture (continued) While markets remain challenging, we are confident in the long-term growth in demand for agricultural products and in our pipeline of new genetics, unique trait combinations and innovative crop protection solutions coming from our focused investments in R&D. We are taking disciplined actions to streamline our cost structure and further focus our investments on the highest growth opportunities, building upon the work we began back in 2014. These actions better position DuPont Agriculture for the current challenging environment and will allow us to emerge stronger when markets improve. In Brazil we have successfully launched Leptra® corn hybrids for the Safrinha season. Production plans for Leptra® are on track for one of the fastest technology ramp-ups in Pioneer history in the summer season. In North America, we held corn market share in 2015 during one of the most competitive sales seasons in recent history. Our two newest classes of genetics demonstrated strong harvest performance and are expected to comprise over half of our North America corn sales volume in 2016. Qrome™ corn products continue to progress well toward commercialization. We will expand testing this coming summer in our IMPACT™ trials, as we await final import approvals in key markets. While we did lose between one and two points of North America market share in soybeans, we are very excited about the improved yield performance growers experienced last fall from our newest classes of T Series soybean. T Series will represent about 80 percent of 2016 soybean volume as we continue meaningful progress in our soybean transition. We also have a strong portfolio of herbicide options for soybean growers, including varieties tolerant to glyphosate, glufosinate, and our proprietary BOLT™ technology; we also are currently taking pre-orders for Roundup Ready 2 Xtend™ technology, pending regulatory approvals. In crop protection we continue to receive registrations of Cyazypyr® insecticide in additional countries and are preparing for new launches of Zorvec™ fungicide and Pyraxalt™ insecticide for rice, pending regulatory approvals. Finally, while Rynaxypyr® sales declined in 2015 in Latin America, it remains the foundation of our insect-control lineup with good growth opportunities in additional crops and countries and from the expansion of seed treatment offerings like Lumivia® in corn.
