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, 2013, collectively referred to as the “2013 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, including separately stating Cost of goods sold and Other operating charges on the interim Consolidated Income Statements. In February 2013, the company sold its Performance Coatings business (which represented a reportable segment). In accordance with GAAP, the results of Performance Coatings are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to Performance Coatings have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Amounts related to Performance Coatings are consistently included in or excluded from the Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements based on the financial statement line item and period of each disclosure. See Note 2 for additional information.

Venezuelan Foreign Currency Translation

Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy under US GAAP and the U.S. dollar (USD) is the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. During the first quarter 2014, the Venezuelan government enacted certain changes to the country’s foreign exchange systems including the expansion of the use of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (“SICAD 1”) auction rate and introduction of the SICAD 2 auction process. The official exchange rate continues to be set through the National Center for Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX, previously CADIVI) at 6.3 Bolivar Fuertes (BsF) to USD. The SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchange rates were 10.7 BsF and 50.85 BsF, respectively, at March 31, 2014. The company is evaluating the Venezuelan government’s recent actions affecting foreign exchange systems including restrictions, limitations and ability to obtain USD at a particular rate or through a specific exchange mechanism in relation to DuPont's in-country operations. The company continues to remeasure its Venezuelan BsF net monetary assets, which is approximately $70 at March 31, 2014, at the official CENCOEX rate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 will adopt 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 current standards.

Note 2. Divestitures and Other Transactions

Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls

In November 2013, DuPont entered into a definitive agreement to sell Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls (GLS/Vinyls), a part of Packaging & Industrial Polymers, to Kuraray Co. Ltd. for $543, plus the value of the inventories. The sale is expected to close about mid-2014 pending customary closing conditions, including timing of antitrust clearance.

The assets classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 related to GLS/Vinyls primarily consist of inventory and property, plant and equipment.

Performance Chemicals

On October 24, 2013, DuPont announced that it intends to separate its Performance Chemicals segment through a U.S. tax-free spin-off to shareholders, subject to customary closing conditions. The company expects to complete the separation about mid-2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the company incurred $16 of costs associated with the transaction which were reported in Other operating charges in the interim Consolidated Income Statements. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and separation activities within finance, legal and information system functions.

Performance Coatings

In February 2013, the company sold its Performance Coatings business to Flash Bermuda Co. Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited liability company formed by affiliates of The Carlyle Group (collectively referred to as "Carlyle"). The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2,683 ($1,942 net of tax). The gain was recorded in Income from discontinued operations after income taxes in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The results of discontinued operations are summarized below:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2013
Net sales	$	331
Income before income taxes	$	2,715
Provision for income taxes	747
Income from discontinued operations after income taxes	$	1,968

Other income, net	$	17		$	92

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 continuing operations on the interim Consolidated Income Statements. Exchange gains (losses) related to earnings of affiliates was $(2) and $5 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The $(96) net exchange loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014, includes $(39) and $(14) exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia and Argentinian peso, respectively. The $11 net exchange gain for the three months ended March 31, 2013, includes a $(36) exchange loss, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.


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

Note 4. Income Taxes

In the first quarter 2014, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $357, including $28 of tax benefit, primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

In the first quarter 2013, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $387, including $34 of tax expense, primarily associated with the company's policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Included in the provision was a net tax benefit of $42 consisting of a $68 tax benefit derived from the 2013 extension of certain U.S. business tax provisions offset by $26 of tax expense related to the global distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the Performance Coatings business.

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 taxing authorities. Positions challenged by the taxing 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 changes to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be significant, however, due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of completion of audits and possible outcomes, a current estimate of the range of increases or decreases that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Set forth below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2014			2013
Numerator:
Income from continuing operations after income taxes attributable to DuPont	$	1,439		$	1,380
Preferred dividends	(2		)	(3		)
Income from continuing operations after income taxes available to DuPont common stockholders	$	1,437		$	1,377

Income from discontinued operations after income taxes	$	—		$	1,968

Net income available to common stockholders	$	1,437		$	3,345

Denominator:
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - Basic	923,461,000			928,348,000
Dilutive effect of the company’s employee compensation plans	7,271,000			7,042,000
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - Diluted	930,732,000			935,390,000

The following average number of stock options were antidilutive, and therefore, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2014	2013
Average number of stock options	—	10,384,000

The change in the average number of stock options that were antidilutive in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year was due to changes in the company’s average stock price.

¹	Primarily consists of sales and grower networks, marketing and manufacturing alliances and noncompetition agreements.

Microbial cell factories, derived from natural microbes, are used to sustainably produce enzymes, peptides and chemicals using natural metabolic processes. The company recognized the microbial cell factories as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Danisco. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.

Pioneer germplasm is the pool of genetic source material and body of knowledge gained from the development and delivery stage of plant breeding. The company recognized germplasm as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Pioneer. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.

The aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for definite-lived intangible assets was $125 and $106 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for the remainder of 2014 and each of the next five years is approximately $247, $384, $349, $220, $206 and $202, respectively, which is primarily reported in Cost of goods sold.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Guarantees

Indemnifications

In connection with acquisitions and divestitures, 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the company had directly guaranteed $563 and $561, 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 48 percent of the $374 of guaranteed obligations of customers and suppliers. Set forth below are the company's guaranteed obligations at March 31, 2014:



	Short-Term		Long-Term		Total

Imprelis^®

The company has received claims and has been served with multiple 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. The appeal by one class member is pending.

As part of the settlement, DuPont paid about $7 in plaintiffs' attorney fees and expenses. In addition, DuPont is providing a warranty against new damage, if any, caused by the use of Imprelis^® on class members' properties through May 2015. Certain class members opted out of the settlement. The opt-outs have filed about 125 individual actions encompassing about 400 claims for property and related damage in state court in various jurisdictions. DuPont has removed most of these cases to federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once removed to federal court, the individual actions remain stayed pending further action by the court.

The company has established review processes to verify and evaluate damage claims. There are several variables that impact the evaluation process including the number of trees on a property, the species of tree with reported damage, the height of the tree, the extent of damage and the possibility for trees to naturally recover over time. Upon receiving claims, DuPont verifies their accuracy and validity which often requires physical review of the property.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

At March 31, 2014, DuPont had recorded charges of $1,175, within Other operating charges, to resolve these claims, which represents the company's best estimate of the loss associated with resolving these claims. The company did not take any charges related to this matter during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The three months ended March 31, 2013 included charges of $35. At March 31, 2014, DuPont had accruals of $426 related to these claims. The company has an applicable insurance program with a deductible equal to the first $100 of costs and expenses. The insurance program limits are $725 for costs and expenses in excess of the $100. DuPont has submitted and will continue to submit requests for payment to its insurance carriers for costs associated with this matter. The company has begun to receive payment from its insurance carriers and continues to seek recovery although the timing and outcome remain uncertain. To date the company has received insurance recoveries of $73.

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. Except as otherwise noted, management does not anticipate their resolution will have a materially adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, the ultimate liabilities could be significant 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 March 31, 2014, DuPont has accruals of $15 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. The medical panel is expected to address monitoring and may make additional recommendations in a subsequent report. The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion. The company is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members. In January 2012, the company put $1 in an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement. The court has appointed a Medical Monitoring Director to implement the medical panel's recommendations who is in the process of setting up a program. Testing has not yet begun and no money has been disbursed from the fund.

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.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

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 March 31, 2014, the multi-district litigation in Ohio federal court (“MDL”) included 104 lawsuits, an increase of 21 cases over year-end 2013. These lawsuits, some of which have more than one plaintiff, were filed in federal court in Ohio and West Virginia. The MDL lawsuits allege personal injury and 6 of them allege wrongful death from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. In March 2014, 900 lawsuits alleging personal injury on substantially similar grounds as the MDL were filed in state court in Wood County, West Virginia. At March 31, 2014, these 900 lawsuits had not been served on the company. Based on comments from attorneys for the plaintiffs, DuPont expects additional lawsuits may be filed. 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). DuPont denies these claims and is defending itself vigorously.

While it is probable that the company will incur losses related to funding the medical monitoring program, such losses cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding implementation. 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.

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 2013 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), 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.

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 March 31, 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of $467, 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, potential liability may range up to three times the amount accrued as of March 31, 2014.

Note 9. 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. There is no required completion date for purchases under the 2014 plan. In February 2014, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a financial institution. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, in February 2014, the Company paid $1,000 to the financial institution and received and retired an initial delivery of 12.5 million shares, which represents 80 percent of the $1,000 notional amount of the ASR agreement. The purchase price per share and final number of shares retired will be determined using the volume-weighted price of the company's stock over the term of the ASR agreement. This ASR will be completed in the second quarter 2014. In February 2014, the company also repurchased 1.0 million shares in the open market at an average price of $61.32 per share for a total of $61. These shares were retired upon repurchase.

In December 2012, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,000 share buyback plan. In February 2013, the company entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution under which the company used $1,000 of the proceeds from the sale of Performance Coatings for the purchase of shares of common stock. The 2012 $1,000 share buyback plan was completed in the second quarter 2013 through the ASR agreement, under which the company purchased and retired 20.4 million shares.

Note 10. 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 2013 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 $11,930 and $12,860 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to debt maturities during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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 2013 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Level 1 measurements are based on quoted market prices and level 2 measurements are based on current interest rates for similar instruments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity. The company held $271 and $5,116 of money market funds (level 1 measurements) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The company held $2,061 and $2,256 of other cash equivalents (level 2 measurements) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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:



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Interest rate swaps	$	1,000	$	1,000
Foreign currency contracts	865		1,107
Commodity contracts	358		606
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency contracts	10,822		9,553
Commodity contracts	238		281

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 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.

Interest Rate Risk

The company uses interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of the total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed for floating rate interest payments to effectively convert fixed rate debt into floating rate debt based on USD LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow the company to achieve a target range of floating rate debt.

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 energy feedstock and agricultural commodity exposures.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps

At March 31, 2014, the company maintained a number of interest rate swaps, which were implemented at the time debt instruments were issued. All interest rate swaps qualify for the shortcut method of hedge accounting, thus there is no ineffectiveness related to these hedges.

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.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

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 energy feedstock and 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 will not materialize. The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2014			2013
Beginning balance	$	(48	)	$	3
Additions and revaluations of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges	24			(9		)
Clearance of hedge results to earnings	11			(6		)
Ending balance	$	(13	)	$	(12	)

At March 31, 2014, the after-tax amount expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings over the next 12 months is $(13).

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company routinely uses forward exchange 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. Additionally, the company had cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency fluctuations on long-term intercompany loans. These swaps matured during 2013.

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.

Recent Developments

Separation of Performance Chemicals

On October 24, 2013, DuPont announced that it intends to separate its Performance Chemicals segment through a U.S. tax-free spin-off to shareholders, subject to customary closing conditions. The company expects to complete the separation about mid-2015. As part of the separation, DuPont incurred $16 million in transaction costs in the first quarter 2014, which were recorded in Other operating charges. For full-year 2014, costs associated with the separation are expected to be about $170 million ($0.13 per share). The company expects to incur additional costs related to the separation in 2015. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and separation activities within finance, legal and information system functions.

Venezuelan Foreign Currency Translation

During the first quarter 2014, the Venezuelan government enacted certain changes to the country’s foreign exchange systems including the expansion of the use of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (“SICAD 1”) auction rate and introduction of the SICAD 2 auction process. The official exchange rate continues to be set through the National Center for Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX, previously CADIVI) at 6.3 Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. dollar (USD). The SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchange rates were 10.70 BsF and 50.85 BsF, respectively, at March 31, 2014. The company is evaluating the Venezuelan government’s recent actions affecting foreign exchange systems including restrictions, limitations and ability to obtain USD at a particular rate or through a specific exchange mechanism in relation to DuPont's in-country operations. Due to the limited period in which these exchanges have existed, the company believes there is considerable uncertainty regarding the company's ability and intent to settle transactions through either SICAD 1 or SICAD 2. At March 31, 2014, the company continues to use the official CENCOEX rate to re-measure its Venezuelan net monetary assets. If the company had re-measured its Venezuelan net monetary assets using either the SICAD 1 or SICAD 2 rate as of March 31, 2014, the company would have recorded a charge to Other income, net of approximately $30 million ($20 million after tax) or approximately $60 million ($50 million after tax), respectively. See Note 1 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Results of Operations

Overview

The following is a summary of the results of continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014:


•	Net Sales were $10.1 billion, 3 percent below prior year, reflecting 1 percent lower volume, 1 percent lower selling prices, and a 1 percent adverse currency impact.

•

Total segment pre-tax operating income (PTOI) of $2.2 billion was essentially flat with prior year. PTOI increased in 5 of the 7 segments primarily driven by increased sales volumes. Agriculture PTOI of $1.4 billion decreased 3 percent on lower volumes due to differences in timing of seed shipments and planted area, partly offset by the absence of prior-year charges related to Imprelis^®herbicide claims. Performance Chemicals PTOI declined 20 percent due to lower selling prices.


•	Income from continuing operations after income taxes was $1.4 billion, an increase of 4 percent from the same period last year.


•	Management believes the adverse weather conditions in the first quarter 2014 impacted results by an estimated $0.07 per share reflecting increased operating costs and lost sales.

Net Sales

Net sales for the first quarter were $10.1 billion versus $10.4 billion in the prior year reflecting 1 percent lower selling prices, 1 percent lower volume, and a 1 percent adverse currency impact. Higher Agriculture selling prices were more than offset by lower prices in Performance Chemicals and Electronics & Communications. Volume reflects the earlier timing of seed shipments and lower corn planted area in the Agriculture segment and the impact of harsh winter weather conditions in North America. This was partially offset by worldwide volume increases in 5 segments, supported by 6 percent volume growth in EMEA and Asia Pacific. Negative currency impact principally reflects a weaker Japanese Yen, Brazilian Real, and Indian Rupee, partly offset by a stronger Euro and Chinese Yuan.

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



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014				Percent Change Due to:
	Net Sales ($ Billions)		Percent Change vs. 2013		Local Price		Currency Effect		Volume		Portfolio/Other
Worldwide	$	10.1	(3	)	(1	)	(1	)	(1	)	—
U.S. & Canada	4.4		(8	)	—		—		(7	)	(1	)
Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA)	3.0		8		1		1		6		—
Asia Pacific	1.7		—		(3	)	(3	)	6		—
Latin America	1.0		(10	)	(1	)	(4	)	(5	)	—

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, totaled $17 million for the first quarter 2014, a decrease of $75 million compared to $92 million in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to $107 million higher pre-tax exchange losses partially offset by $20 million higher income related to equity method investments.

Additional information related to the company's other income, net, is included in Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS totaled $6.0 billion in the first quarter 2014 versus $6.2 billion in the prior year, a 3 percent decrease, principally due to decreases in pension and other postretirement employee benefit (OPEB) costs and lower raw material costs. COGS was approximately 59 percent of net sales for the first quarter 2014 and 2013.

Table of Contents

Other Operating Charges

Other operating charges totaled $797 million in the first quarter 2014 versus $912 million in the prior year, a 13 percent decrease, primarily due to lower manufacturing and corporate overhead costs, and reduced costs for pension and OPEB. Other operating charges includes $16 million of costs associated with the separation of the Performance Chemicals Segment. See Note 2 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to this matter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A totaled $925 million for the first quarter 2014 versus $983 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced sales commissions within the Agriculture segment, cost savings in administrative functions as a result of the 2012 restructuring program as well as reduced pension and OPEB costs. SG&A was 9 percent of net sales for the first quarter 2014 and 2013.

Research and Development Expense (R&D)

R&D totaled $518 million and $521 million for the first quarter 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower pension and OPEB costs. R&D was approximately 5 percent of net sales for the first quarter 2014 and 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $103 million in the first quarter 2014, compared to $117 million in 2013. The decrease was due to lower average borrowings.

Provision for Income Taxes on Continuing Operations

The company's effective tax rate for the first quarter 2014 was 19.8 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations as compared to 21.8 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations in 2013. The lower effective tax rate principally relates to a favorable settlement in the first quarter 2014 in addition to geographic mix of earnings.

See Note 4 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income from Continuing Operations after Income Taxes

Income from continuing operations after income taxes for first quarter 2014 of $1,445 million, increased 4 percent versus $1,387 million in the same period last year principally due to lower income taxes, lower pension and OPEB related costs, and lower interest expense, in addition to the reasons noted above.

Segment Reviews

Summarized below are comments on individual segment sales and PTOI for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period in 2013. Segment PTOI is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes excluding non-operating pension and other postretirement employee benefit costs, exchange gains (losses), corporate expenses and interest. All references to prices are on a U.S. dollar (USD) basis, including the impact of currency. A reconciliation of segment sales to consolidated net sales and segment PTOI to income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is included in Note 12 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes first quarter 2014 segment sales and related variances versus first quarter 2013:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2014				Percentage Change Due to:
	Segment Sales ($ Billions)		Percent Change vs. 2013		Price		Volume		Portfolio and Other

Agriculture - Segment sales of $4,394 million declined $275 million, or 6 percent, on lower volumes due to earlier timing of seed shipments, lower corn planted area in Brazil's Safrinha season and in North America, and lower herbicide volumes in North America, partially offset by higher insecticide volumes in Latin America. Price increased 1 percent, despite a 2 percent negative currency impact. PTOI of $1,442 million declined $39 million, or 3 percent, due to lower volumes partially offset by higher seed pricing, lower seed input costs, and the absence of a prior year charge of $35 million related to Imprelis^® claims. The earlier timing of seed shipments caused approximately $100 million of PTOI to be realized in the fourth quarter 2013 rather than first quarter this year. See Note 8 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the Imprelis^® matter.

Electronics & Communications - Segment sales of $580 million declined $36 million, or 6 percent, largely due to the pass-through of substantially lower metals prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes, mainly in photovoltaic markets. PTOI of $75 million increased $26 million, or 53 percent, largely due to higher sales volumes.

Industrial Biosciences - Segment sales of $301 million increased $12 million, or 4 percent, on increased enzyme demand for ethanol production. PTOI of $56 million increased $15 million, or 37 percent, from increased enzyme demand and lower costs.

Nutrition & Health - Segment sales of $861 million decreased $7 million, or 1 percent, as price gains were more than offset by unfavorable currency. PTOI of $93 million increased $17 million, or 22 percent, driven by improved product mix, productivity gains and lower raw material costs.

Performance Chemicals - Segment sales of $1,532 million decreased $53 million, or 3 percent, as increased volumes, primarily for titanium dioxide and fluoroproducts, were more than offset by lower prices. PTOI of $200 million decreased $51 million, or 20 percent, due primarily to lower prices in fluoroproducts, principally refrigerants. Higher raw material and energy costs as a result of the adverse weather and lower titanium dioxide prices were also contributors to the decline in PTOI. This was partially offset by higher volumes and productivity improvements.

Performance Materials - Segment sales of $1,593 million increased $34 million, or 2 percent on higher sales into automotive markets. Volumes increased in all regions outside of North America, as North America volumes were constrained in preparation for a second quarter scheduled ethylene production unit outage. PTOI of $299 million increased $7 million, or 2 percent, reflecting stronger volumes in automotive markets, largely offset by higher ethane and natural gas costs due primarily to weather related factors.

Safety & Protection - Segment sales of $947 million increased $40 million, or 4 percent, on higher volumes driven by sales of building materials and aramids products. PTOI of $175 million increased $37 million, or 27 percent, primarily due to productivity gains and higher volumes.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

Information related to the company's liquidity and capital resources can be found on page 28 of the company's 2013 Annual Report. Discussion below provides the updates to this information for the three months ended March 31, 2014.



(Dollars in millions)	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	3,849	$	9,086
Total debt	11,317		12,462

Total debt at March 31, 2014 was $11.3 billion, a decrease of $1.1 billion from $12.5 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to debt maturities during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash used for operating activities was $2.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to cash used for operating activities of $2.7 billion during the same period last year. The $0.3 billion change was primarily due to lower year-over-year income tax payments.

The change in other operating charges and credits - net for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $0.3 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion from the same period last year. The increase is due to year-over-year changes in fair value of derivative instruments and absence of costs associated with the sale of the Performance Coatings business in 2013. Other operating charges and credits - net primarily consists of expenses related to pension plans as well as reclassifications of items whose cash effects are investing or financing activities.

Cash used for investing activities was $0.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4.6 billion for the same period last year. The $4.8 billion change was primarily due to the proceeds received from the sale of the Performance Coatings business in 2013.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $0.3 billion, about the same as last year.

Cash used for financing activities was $2.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.3 billion for the same period last year. The $2.8 billion decrease was due primarily to a decrease in borrowings in 2014 versus an increase in 2013.

Dividends paid to shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $0.4 billion. In January 2014, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share. This dividend is the same as what was paid in the fourth quarter 2013. With the first quarter dividend, 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 that replaced the 2011 plan. The company expects to repurchase $2 billion in 2014 with the remainder to be repurchased over time. There is no required completion date for purchases under the 2014 plan. In February 2014, the company entered into a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a financial institution and received and retired an initial delivery of 12.5 million shares, which represents 80 percent of the $1 billion notional amount of the ASR agreement. This ASR will be completed in the second quarter 2014. See Part II, Item 2 and Note 9 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the ASR. In February 2014, the company also repurchased 1.0 million shares in the open market at an average price of $61.32 per share for a total of $61 million. These shares were retired upon repurchase.

In December 2012, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $1 billion share buyback plan. In February 2013, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a financial institution under which the company used $1 billion of the proceeds from the sale of Performance Coatings for the purchase of shares of common stock. The 2012 $1 billion share buyback plan was completed in the second quarter 2013 through the ASR agreement, under which the company purchased and retired 20.4 million shares. See Note 9 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
