Corteva, Inc.
A global agricultural company that supplies farmers with seeds and crop protection products, from Pioneer corn and soybean seeds to Enlist herbicides. It was born in 2019 when chemical giants Dow and DuPont merged and then split into three companies, with agriculture spun off as Corteva. The name blends the Latin word for heart with the Hebrew word for nature, and its seed roots trace to Henry Wallace, who pioneered hybrid corn in the 1920s after being inspired by George Washington Carver.

Recent Developments Proposed Separation On October 1, 2025, the company announced its intent to pursue, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and any required regulatory approvals, its separation into two independent publicly traded companies - one for each of its Seed and Crop Protection businesses. The transaction is intended to be a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 2026 Restructuring Actions On March 15, 2026, management of the company approved a restructuring program designed to align the company’s organizational structure and geographic footprint with the operational needs of each function as the company prepares for the intended separation of its businesses (the “2026 Restructuring Actions”). The restructuring actions primarily consist of workforce reductions across commercial and functional support areas and are intended to right‑size the organization and support the future standalone operating models. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially complete by December 2026. The 2026 Restructuring Actions are expected to contribute to the company's ongoing cost and productivity improvement efforts through achieving an estimated $115 million to $125 million of savings on a run rate basis by 2027. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details. Crop Protection Operations Strategy Restructuring Program On November 5, 2023, management of the company approved a plan to further optimize its Crop Protection network of manufacturing and external partners (the "Crop Protection Operations Strategy Restructuring Program"). On June 12, 2026, the company disclosed that its management recently committed to the next phase of the plan to include the intended cessation of the company's production activities at its site in Asturias, Spain. The intended cessation is subject to a consultation process with the applicable works council and union representatives at the facility. Management revisions were also made to previous estimates associated with the company's exit of its Pittsburg, California production activities. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details.

In addition to the financial highlights above, the following event occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026: •The company returned approximately $740 million to shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2026 under its previously announced share repurchase programs and through common stock dividends. Results of Operations Net Sales Net sales were $6,379 million and $6,456 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a 3 percent decrease in volume, partially offset by a 1 percent increase in price and a 1 percent favorable impact from currency. The decrease in volume was driven by timing shifts in North America and Brazil, partially offset by broad-based Crop Protection growth in Asia Pacific. North America volumes were impacted by the acreage shift from corn to soy as well as channel purchase timing from Crop Protection customers, while EMEA Crop Protection volumes were impacted by dry weather. The Seed pricing and mix improvement was driven by demand for top technology and increased out-licensing income, partially offset by the competitive Crop Protection pricing environment in Latin America. The favorable currency impacts were driven by the Brazilian Real and the Euro, partially offset by the Indian Rupee.

Net sales were $11,284 million and $10,873 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by a 2 percent favorable impact from currency, a 1 percent increase in volume and a 1 percent increase in price. The favorable currency impacts were driven by the Euro and Brazilian Real, partially offset by the Turkish Lira. Volume increases were driven by demand for Crop Protection new products, partially offset by timing impacts in Latin 44 Table of Contents America Seed and channel purchase timing in North America Crop Protection. Favorable Seed pricing and mix was driven by demand for top technology and the strength of the portfolio, coupled with increased out-licensing income, which was partially offset by the competitive pricing environment impacting Latin America Crop Protection.

Research and Development Expense (“R&D”) R&D expense was $388 million (6 percent of net sales) and $375 million (6 percent of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $729 million (6 percent of net sales) and $710 million (7 percent of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in R&D expense is in support of the company’s long-term investment plans and was primarily driven by unfavorable currency impacts and increases in salaries, contract labor and field, lab and facilities costs, partially offset by cost recoveries received from third parties. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) SG&A expenses were $1,164 million (18 percent of net sales) and $1,156 million (18 percent of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change was primarily driven by unfavorable currency impacts and an increase in stock-based compensation and personnel and information technology costs, partially offset by lower bad debt expense, legal support fees, commissions and variable compensation. SG&A expenses were $2,041 million (18 percent of net sales) and $1,907 million (18 percent of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change was primarily driven by unfavorable currency impacts and an increase in bad debt expense, consulting fees and personnel and information technology costs, partially offset by lower legal support fees. Amortization of Intangibles Intangible asset amortization was $194 million and $161 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $354 million and $323 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

See Note 10 - Other Intangible Assets, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net Restructuring and asset related charges - net were $49 million and $79 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $141 million and $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The charges in the second quarter of 2026, as well as the second quarter and first half of 2025, primarily consisted of severance and related benefit costs, asset related charges, decommissioning and demolition costs and contract terminations under the Crop Protection Operations Strategy Restructuring Program. The charges in the first half of 2026 also included severance and related benefit costs under the 2026 Restructuring Actions. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information. Other Income (Expense) - Net Other income (expense) - net was $(115) million and $103 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Higher other expense was driven by litigation settlements and higher net exchange losses, as well as the absence of the receipt of insurance proceeds related to prior significant items during the second quarter of 2025. Other income (expense) - net was $(232) million and $118 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The decreases were driven by lower short-term borrowing rates. Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes on Continuing Operations The company’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $408 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $1,625 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.1 percent. The effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by a $50 million charge associated with the Discretionary Pension Contribution, valuation allowances on certain foreign tax credits, as well as withholding taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the U.S. primarily from current year earnings. Those unfavorable impacts were partially offset by $9 million of net tax benefits associated with changes in deferred taxes and accruals for certain prior year tax positions. The company's provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $422 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $1,804 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.4 percent. The effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by tax impacts of certain net exchange losses recognized on the remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not tax-deductible in their local jurisdictions, as well as withholding taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the U.S. primarily from current year earnings. The company’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $541 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2,483 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.8 percent. The effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by a $50 million charge associated with the Discretionary Pension Contribution, valuation allowances on certain foreign tax credits, as well as withholding taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the U.S. primarily from current year earnings. Those unfavorable impacts were partially offset by $56 million of net tax benefits associated with changes in deferred taxes and accruals for certain prior year tax positions, as well as $31 million of net tax benefits related to intellectual property realignment. The company's provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $539 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2,588 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.8 percent. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $55 million deferred tax benefit associated with a change in a legal entity’s U.S. tax characterization, as well as net tax benefits associated with changes in accruals for certain prior year tax positions. Those favorable impacts were partially offset by tax impacts of certain net exchange losses recognized on the remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not tax-deductible in their local jurisdictions, as well as withholding taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the U.S. primarily from current year earnings. 46 Table of Contents Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations After Tax Income (loss) from discontinued operations after tax was $(52) million and $(54) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The result for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by charges recognized relating to the MOU with Chemours and DuPont, comprised of litigation charges as well as PFAS environmental remediation activities, along with other environmental matters. Income (loss) from discontinued operations after tax was $(66) million and $(77) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The result for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by charges recognized relating to the MOU with Chemours and DuPont, comprised of a litigation charge associated with the NJ Statewide Settlement as well as PFAS environmental remediation activities primarily at Chemours' Fayetteville Works facility, along with other environmental matters. These charges were partially offset by the prior year derecognition of an indemnification liability associated with the Water District Settlement Fund contribution.

Segment Reviews The company operates in two reportable segments: Seed and Crop Protection. Seed The company’s Seed segment is a global leader in developing and supplying commercial seed combining superior germplasm with advanced traits to produce high yield potential for farmers around the world. The segment offers seed and trait technologies that improve resistance to weather, diseases, pests and herbicides used to manage weeds. Its digital solutions provide data driven insights that assist farmer decision-making with a view to optimize product selection and, ultimately, help maximize yield and profitability. The segment competes in a wide variety of agricultural markets. Crop Protection The Crop Protection segment serves the global agricultural input industry with products that protect against weeds, insects and other pests, and disease, and that improve overall crop health both above and below ground via nitrogen management and seed-applied technologies. The segment offers crop protection solutions and digital solutions that provide farmers the tools they need to improve productivity and profitability, and help keep fields free of weeds, insects and diseases. The segment is a leader in global herbicides, insecticides, nitrogen stabilizers, pasture and range management herbicides and biologicals. Summarized below are comments on individual segment net sales and segment operating EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025. The company defines segment operating EBITDA as earnings (loss) (i.e., income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, non-operating benefits (costs), foreign exchange gains (losses), and net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, excluding the impact of significant items and separation costs. Non-operating benefits (costs) consists of non-operating pension and OPEB credits (costs), tax indemnification adjustments and environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the company as pre-tax income or expense. See Note 17 - Segment Information, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for details related to significant pre-tax benefits (charges) excluded from segment operating EBITDA. All references to prices are based on local price unless otherwise specified. A reconciliation of segment operating EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations after income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is included in Note 17 - Segment Information, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The flat sales over the prior period was driven by a 3 percent increase in price, partially offset by a 3 percent decrease in volume. The increase in pricing and mix was driven by demand for top technology and increased out-licensing income, while the decline in volume was driven by timing shifts in North America and Brazil, coupled with the acreage shift from corn to soybean in North America and corn to sunflower in EMEA. Segment operating EBITDA was $1,966 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 6 percent from $1,863 million in second quarter of 2025. The improvement was driven by more favorable pricing and mix, reductions in net royalty expense, and ongoing cost and productivity actions, which more than offset lower volumes, increased research and development expense and functional cost. Segment operating EBITDA margin improved by approximately 230 basis points versus the prior-year period. Seed net sales were $7,555 million in the first half of 2026, up 4 percent from $7,244 million in the first half of quarter of 2025. The sales increase over the prior period was driven by a 3 percent increase in price and a 1 percent favorable impact from currency. Pricing and mix gains in all regions, led by North America, demonstrate demand for top technology and the strength of the portfolio, coupled with increased out-licensing income. Volumes were flat, as higher soybean area in North America was offset by lower corn area in North America and timing shifts in Latin America. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Euro and the Brazilian Real, partially offset by the Turkish Lira. Segment operating EBITDA was $3,000 million in the first half of 2026, up 11 percent from $2,705 million in first half of 2025. The improvement was driven by more favorable pricing and mix, reductions in net royalty expense and ongoing cost and productivity actions, all of which more than offset increased selling, administrative and research and development expenses, including higher bad debt. Segment operating EBITDA margin improved by approximately 235 basis points versus the prior-year period. 49 Table of Contents Crop Protection Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net sales $ 1,847 $ 1,919 $ 3,729 $ 3,629 Segment Operating EBITDA $ 342 $ 334 $ 776 $ 711 Crop Protection Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025 Percent Change Due To: Net Sales Change Price & Portfolio / ($ In millions) $ % Product Mix Volume Currency Other North America $ (82) (12) % — % (12) % — % — % EMEA (7) (2) % (1) % (3) % 2 % — % Latin America 1 — % (10) % 3 % 7 % — % Asia Pacific 16 6 % (5) % 13 % (2) % — % Total $ (72) (4) % (4) % (2) % 2 % — % Crop Protection Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025 Percent Change Due To: Net Sales Change Price & Portfolio / ($ In millions) $ % Product Mix Volume Currency Other Herbicides $ (63) (6) % (2) % (7) % 3 % — % Insecticides (37) (8) % (6) % (3) % 1 % — % Fungicides (79) (23) % (4) % (21) % 2 % — % Biologicals (11) (11) % (8) % (10) % 7 % — % Other 118 241 % (18) % 238 % 21 % — % Total $ (72) (4) % (4) % (2) % 2 % — % Crop Protection First Half 2026 vs. First Half 2025 Percent Change Due To: Net Sales Change Price & Portfolio / ($ In millions) $ % Product Mix Volume Currency Other North America $ (26) (2) % — % (3) % 1 % — % EMEA 69 6 % (1) % — % 7 % — % Latin America 26 3 % (10) % 5 % 8 % — % Asia Pacific 31 7 % (4) % 11 % — % — % Total $ 100 3 % (3) % 2 % 4 % — % Crop Protection First Half 2026 vs. First Half 2025 Percent Change Due To: Net Sales Change Price & Portfolio / ($ In millions) $ % Product Mix Volume Currency Other Herbicides $ 104 6 % (2) % 3 % 5 % — % Insecticides 4 1 % (5) % 3 % 3 % — % Fungicides (49) (8) % (3) % (10) % 5 % — % Biologicals (25) (14) % (6) % (13) % 5 % — % Other 66 38 % (7) % 41 % 4 % — % Total $ 100 3 % (3) % 2 % 4 % — % Crop Protection Crop Protection net sales were $1,847 million in the second quarter of 2026, down 4 percent from $1,919 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sales decrease over the prior period was driven by a 4 percent decrease in price and a 2 percent decrease in volume, partially offset by a 2 percent favorable impact from currency. The price decline was primarily due to the competitive pricing environment in Latin America. The decrease in volume was driven primarily by channel purchase timing in North America, coupled with dry weather in EMEA, partially offset by broad-based volume growth in Asia Pacific. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real and the Euro. 50 Table of Contents Segment operating EBITDA was $342 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 2 percent from $334 million in the second quarter of 2025. Ongoing cost and productivity actions and favorable currency impacts more than offset the unfavorable impact of volume and Latin America price pressure. Segment operating EBITDA margin improved by approximately 110 basis points versus the prior-year period. Crop Protection net sales were $3,729 million in the first half of 2026, up 3 percent from $3,629 million in the first half of 2025. The sales increase over the prior period was driven by a 4 percent favorable impact from currency and a 2 percent increase in volume, partially offset by a 3 percent decrease in price. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Euro and Brazilian Real. The increase in volume was driven by demand for new products, partially offset by channel purchase timing in North America. The price decline was primarily due to market dynamics in Latin America. Segment operating EBITDA was $776 million in the first half of 2026, up 9 percent from $711 million in the first half of 2025. Ongoing cost and productivity actions, favorable currency impacts and volume growth more than offset the unfavorable impact of Latin America price pressure and higher selling and administrative expenses. Segment operating EBITDA margin improved by approximately 120 basis points versus the prior-year period. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The company presents certain financial measures that do not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include Operating EBITDA and operating earnings (loss) per share. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting, including allocating resources and evaluating incentive compensation. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company and a more useful comparison of year over year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the company’s U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided below. Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) (i.e., income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating benefits (costs), foreign exchange gains (losses), and net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, excluding the impact of significant items and separation costs. Non-operating benefits (costs) consists of non-operating pension and OPEB credits (costs), tax indemnification adjustments and environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the company as pre-tax income or expense. Operating earnings (loss) per share is defined as “earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations - diluted” excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, the after-tax impact of separation costs, the after-tax impact of non-operating benefits (costs), the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Corteva Separation from DowDuPont, and the after-tax impact of net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Although amortization of the company's intangible assets is excluded from these non-GAAP measures, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in amortization of additional intangible assets. Net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting represents the non-cash net gain (loss) from changes in fair value of certain undesignated foreign currency derivative contracts. Upon settlement, which is within the same calendar year of execution of the contract, the realized gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the non-qualified foreign currency derivative contracts will be reported in the relevant non-GAAP financial measures, allowing quarterly results to reflect the economic effects of the foreign currency derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility. The company also uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to evaluate and discuss its liquidity position and ability to generate cash. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by (used for) operating activities – continuing operations, less capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow provides investors with meaningful information regarding the company’s ongoing ability to generate cash through core operations, and the company’s ability to service its indebtedness, pay dividends (when declared), make share repurchases, and meet its ongoing cash needs for its operations. 51 Table of Contents Reconciliation of Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations after Income Taxes to Operating EBITDA Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Income (loss) from continuing operations after income taxes (GAAP) $ 1,217 $ 1,382 $ 1,942 $ 2,049 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations 408 422 541 539 Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes (GAAP) $ 1,625 $ 1,804 $ 2,483 $ 2,588 Depreciation and amortization 339 301 636 597 Interest income (27) (31) (61) (63) Interest expense 47 52 83 88 Exchange (gains) losses - net 75 25 142 52 Non-operating (benefits) costs - net 17 3 (1) 13 Mark-to-market (gains) losses on certain foreign currency contracts not designated as hedges 21 43 24 52 Significant items (benefit) charge 85 (33) 262 26 Separation costs 79 — 131 — Operating EBITDA (Non-GAAP) $ 2,261 $ 2,164 $ 3,699 $ 3,353 Significant Items Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Restructuring and asset related charges - net $ (49) $ (79) $ (141) $ (101) Litigation settlement 1 (36) — (121) — Gain (loss) on sale of assets 2 — 14 — 14 AltEn facility remediation charges 3 — — — (37) Insurance proceeds 3 — 98 — 98 Total pre-tax significant items benefit (charge) $ (85) $ 33 $ (262) $ (26) Total tax (provision) benefit impact of significant items 4 20 (6) 62 8 Tax only significant item benefit (charge) 5 — — — 55 Total significant items benefit (charge), after tax $ (65) $ 27 $ (200) $ 37 1.Relates to estimated settlements associated with various lawsuits filed as described in the section entitled “Federal Trade Commission Investigation” within Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. 2.Incremental gains (losses) associated with activities related to the 2022 Restructuring Actions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity & Capital Resources. The discussion below provides the updates to this information for the six months ended June 30, 2026. (In millions) June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 June 30, 2025 Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities $ 2,365 $ 4,530 $ 2,141 Total debt $ 4,875 $ 2,580 $ 3,629 The increase in debt balances from December 31, 2025 was primarily due to higher short-term debt, which was used to fund the company's working capital needs, including the Bayer resolution payment and the FMC rimisoxafen prepayment, as well as capital spending, dividend payments and share repurchases. See further information in Note 11 - Short-Term Borrowings, Long-Term Debt and Available Credit Facilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The company believes its ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets and commercial paper markets will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund its operations, including seasonal working capital, capital spending, dividend payments, share repurchases, pension obligations and litigation costs, net of recoveries. Corteva’s strong financial position, liquidity and credit ratings will provide access as needed to capital markets and commercial paper markets to fund seasonal working capital needs. The company’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including cash provided by operating activities, commercial paper, syndicated credit lines, bilateral credit lines, long-term debt markets, bank financing and committed receivable repurchase facilities. Corteva considers the borrowing costs and lending terms when selecting the source to fund its operations and working capital needs. 53 Table of Contents The company had access to approximately $6.1 billion, $6.2 billion and $6.2 billion at June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, in committed and uncommitted unused credit lines, which includes the uncommitted revolving credit lines relating to the foreign currency loans. These facilities provide support to meet the company’s short-term liquidity needs and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding of discretionary and non-discretionary contributions to certain benefit plans, severance payments, repayment and refinancing of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, repurchases and redemptions of securities, acquisitions and Corteva’s costs and expenses, including the settlement of litigation and environmental remediation. These facilities are provided to the company by highly rated and well capitalized global financial institutions. In June 2024, the Revolving Credit Facilities were refinanced for purposes of extending the maturity dates for the five-year and three-year revolving credit facilities to June 2029 and June 2027, respectively, and lowering the facility amount of the five-year revolving credit facility to $2.85 billion and the three-year revolving credit facility to $1.90 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities will have an interest rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR, which is Term SOFR plus 0.10 percent, plus the applicable margin. The Revolving Credit Facilities may serve as a substitute to the company’s commercial paper program, and can be used, from time to time, for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the funding of seasonal working capital needs. The Revolving Credit Facilities contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facilities contain a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization for Corteva and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At June 30, 2026, the company was in compliance with these covenants. In February 2026, the company amended its January 2023 (as amended in July 2023, January 2024, February 2024 and February 2025) 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”), increasing the facility amount from $750 million to $1.25 billion, extending the expiration date to February 2027 and amending the interest rate to Term SOFR plus the applicable margin. In February 2025, the company amended the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, decreasing the facility amount from $1 billion to $750 million and extending the expiration date to February 2026. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility includes a provision under which the company may convert any advances outstanding prior to the maturity date into term loans having a maturity date up to one year later. In May 2026, the company drew down $600 million under the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, to repay the $600 million senior notes that matured in May 2026. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings. Additionally, the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization for Corteva and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.60. At June 30, 2026, the company was in compliance with these covenants. In May 2025, the company issued $500 million of 5.125 percent Senior Notes due in May 2032 (the “May 2025 Debt Offering”). The proceeds were used to repay the $500 million senior notes that matured in July 2025. The company’s indenture covenants include customary limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and mergers and consolidations affecting manufacturing plants, mineral producing properties or research facilities located in the U.S. and the consolidated subsidiaries owning such plants, properties and facilities subject to certain limitations. The outstanding long-term debt also contains customary default provisions. The company has meaningful seasonal working capital needs based in part on providing financing to its customers. Working capital is funded through multiple methods including cash, commercial paper, the Revolving Credit Facilities, the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, and factoring. The company has factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell its trade receivables under both recourse and non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds in an effort to reduce its receivables risk. For arrangements that include an element of recourse, the company provides a guarantee of the trade receivables in the event of customer default. Refer to Note 8 - Accounts and Notes Receivable - Net, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information. The company also organizes agreements with third-party financial institutions who directly provide financing for select customers of the company’s Seed and Crop Protection products in each region. Terms of the third-party loans are less than a year and programs are renewed on an annual basis. In some cases, the company guarantees a portion of the extension of such credit to such customers. Refer to Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information on the company’s guarantees. 54 Table of Contents The company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 are $2.4 billion, $4.5 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, of which $1.5 billion, $2.1 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, was held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are concentrated subject to local restrictions with highly rated and well capitalized global financial institutions. The underlying credit worthiness and exposures to these counterparties are monitored on a regular basis in line with the company’s overall risk management procedures. Upon actual repatriation, such earnings could be subject to withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes, and taxes resulting from the impact of foreign currency movements. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries is generally used to finance the subsidiaries’ operational activities and future foreign investments. At June 30, 2026, management believed that sufficient liquidity is available in the U.S. with global operating cash flows, borrowing capacity from existing committed credit facilities, and access to capital markets and commercial paper markets. Summary of Cash Flows Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations was $(3,345) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $(1,139) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change was driven by the discretionary pension contribution, the Bayer resolution payment, higher compensation payments and the FMC rimisoxafen prepayment, partially offset by improved collections. Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - discontinued operations was $(12) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $(23) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The cash outflows were primarily related to PFAS activities that are subject to the MOU with Chemours and DuPont associated with environmental remediation activities primarily at Chemours’ Fayetteville Works facility, along with litigation matters. Cash provided by (used for) investing activities was $(247) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $(198) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change was primarily driven by the acquisition of a business in June 2026. Cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $1,530 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $187 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to higher short-term borrowings to fund working capital and other corporate needs, including the items noted above within cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations. In January 2026, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on March 16, 2026, to the shareholders of record on March 2, 2026. In April 2026, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on June 15, 2026, to the shareholders of record on June 1, 2026. In July 2026, the company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on September 15, 2026, to the shareholders of record on September 1, 2026. On November 19, 2024, Corteva, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $3 billion share repurchase program to purchase Corteva, Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date (“2024 Share Buyback Plan”). The timing, price and volume of purchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. In connection with the 2024 Share Buyback Plan, the company repurchased and retired 3,095,000 and 6,285,000 shares in the open market for a total cost (excluding excise taxes) of $250 million and $500 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and 280,000 shares in the open market for a total cost (excluding excise taxes) of $20 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. On September 13, 2022, Corteva, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program to purchase Corteva, Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date (“2022 Share Buyback Plan”). The timing, price and volume of purchases were based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The company completed the 2022 Share Buyback Plan during the second quarter of 2025 and repurchased and retired 7,815,000, 17,909,000, and 10,026,000 shares in the open market and through privately-negotiated transactions for a cost (excluding excise taxes) of $500 million, $1 billion and $500 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information related to the share buyback plans. EIDP Liquidity Discussion As discussed in EIDP Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, to the EIDP interim Consolidated Financial Statements, EIDP is a subsidiary of Corteva, Inc. and continues to be a reporting company, subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act. The 55 Table of Contents discussion below relates to EIDP only and is presented to provide a Liquidity discussion for the differences between EIDP and Corteva, Inc. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors of EIDP authorizes and declares a quarterly dividend to Corteva, Inc., from which the proceeds are intended to be used to fund Corteva, Inc. share repurchases and common stock dividends during the subsequent quarter. In July 2026, EIDP declared a dividend of $118 million to Corteva Inc., which is expected to be paid during the third quarter of 2026. Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations EIDP’s cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations was $(3,345) million and $(1,139) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change was primarily driven by the items noted above, in the section entitled “Summary of Cash Flows.” Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - discontinued operations EIDP’s cash provided by (used for) operating activities - discontinued operations was $(12) million and $(23) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change was primarily driven by the items noted above, in the section entitled “Summary of Cash Flows.” Cash provided by (used for) investing activities EIDP’s cash provided by (used for) investing activities was $(247) million and $(198) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Read original filing text →The company is subject to various legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, commercial, property damage, personal injury, environmental and regulatory matters arising out of the normal course of its current businesses…
The company is subject to various legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, commercial, property damage, personal injury, environmental and regulatory matters arising out of the normal course of its current businesses or legacy EIDP businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses but allocated to Corteva as part of the Corteva Separation from DuPont. Often these proceedings raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and which could require significant amounts of the senior leadership team’s time. Litigation and other claims, along with regulatory proceedings, against the company could also materially adversely affect its operations, reputation, and/or result in the incurrence of unexpected expenses and liability. Even when the company believes liabilities are not expected to be material or the probability of loss or of an adverse unappealable final judgment is remote, the company may consider settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the company, including avoidance of future distraction and litigation defense cost, and its shareholders. Information regarding certain of these matters is set forth below and in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Litigation related to Corteva’s current businesses Inari Disputes On September 27, 2023, Corteva filed a lawsuit in Delaware federal court against Inari Agriculture, Inc. and Inari Agriculture N.V. (collectively “Inari”) asserting claims of Plant Variety Protection infringement, indirect patent infringement, breach of contract, and civil conversion. Corteva’s lawsuit alleges Inari illegally obtained various varieties of seed technologies from a seed depository and illegally transported them abroad for the purpose of performing gene editing on the technologies and then filing a patent for such technologies. In August 2024, the court denied Inari’s motion to dismiss the complaint. In September 2024, Corteva amended its complaint to include additional infringement claims with respect to soybean and corn technologies. In May 2025, the federal court dismissed Inari’s claims of sham litigation, patent misuse, and state-based deceptive trade practices claims. This May 2025 order was amended to reinstate Inari’s estoppel defense. The trial is expected to begin in September 2026. Bayer Disputes Corteva resolved its outstanding litigation with Bayer. Further information with respect to these proceedings and their respective resolution is set forth under “Bayer Disputes” in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Other Matters Further information with respect to litigation matters related to Corteva's current business is set forth under “Federal Trade Commission Investigation” and “Lorsban® Lawsuits” in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Litigation related to legacy EIDP businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses As discussed below and in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, certain of the environmental proceedings and litigation allocated to Corteva as part of the Separation from DuPont relate to the legacy EIDP businesses, including their use of PFOA, which, for purposes of this report, means collectively perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts, including the ammonium salt and does not distinguish between the two forms, and PFAS, which means per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, including PFOA, PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid), GenX and other perfluorinated chemicals and compounds (“PFCs”). This litigation includes multiple natural resource damage lawsuits across the United States filed by municipalities and alleging PFOA contamination, as well as, lawsuits by four municipalities in the Netherlands alleging contamination of land and groundwater resulting from the emission of PFOA and GenX by Corteva, DuPont and Chemours. In addition to the matters set forth in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, on March 25, 2019, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) issued a Statewide PFAS Directive to several companies, including Chemours, DuPont, and EIDP. The Directive seeks information relating to the use and environmental release of PFAS and PFAS-replacement chemicals at and from two former EIDP sites in New Jersey, Chambers Works and Parlin, and a funding source for costs related to the NJDEP’s investigation of PFAS issues and PFAS testing and remediation. This matter will be resolved upon the court’s approval of the NJ Statewide Settlement described in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. 58 Table of Contents Other Environmental Proceedings The company believes it is remote that the following matters will have a material impact on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Related to Corteva’s current businesses Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, AltEn Facility The EPA and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (“NDEE”) are pursuing investigations, response and removal actions, litigation and enforcement action related to an ethanol plant located near Mead, Nebraska and owned and operated by AltEn LLC (“AltEn”). Corteva is one of six seed companies, who were customers of AltEn (collectively, the “Facility Response Group”), participating in the NDEE’s Voluntary Cleanup Program to address certain interim remediation needs at the site. Further information with respect to these proceedings is set forth under “Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, AltEn Facility” in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. AZ Concordia Chile Site On February 9, 2026, a water reservoir at the AZ Concordia site overflowed during a refilling, resulting in the collapse of part of the embankment and the release of all stored water beyond Corteva’s facilities resulting in flooding and other damage impacting government-managed infrastructure and wastewater systems. Corteva is working with local authorities on the resolution of matters related to this incident. Related to legacy EIDP businesses unrelated to Corteva’s current businesses Divested Neoprene Facility, La Place, Louisiana - EPA Compliance Inspection In 2016, the EPA conducted a focused compliance investigation at the Denka Performance Elastomer LLC (“Denka”) neoprene manufacturing facility in La Place, Louisiana. EIDP sold the neoprene business, including this manufacturing facility, to Denka in the fourth quarter of 2015. In the spring of 2017, the EPA, the DOJ, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, EIDP and Denka began discussions relating to the inspection conclusions and allegations of noncompliance arising under the Clean Air Act, including leak detection and repair. In March 2025, the EPA and DOJ dismissed the action against Denka and EIDP. Following the dismissal, a private action mirroring the government’s original claims was filed, as well as adding allegations of violations of the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and U.S. Clean Water Act. Under the Separation Agreement, DuPont is defending and indemnifying the company in this matter. New Jersey Directive Pompton Lakes On March 27, 2019, the NJDEP issued to Chemours and EIDP a Natural Resource Damages Directive relating to chemical contamination (non-PFAS) at and around EIDP’s former Pompton Lakes facility in New Jersey. The Directive alleges that this contamination has harmed the natural resources of New Jersey. It seeks $125,000 as reimbursement for the cost of preparing a natural resource damages assessment, which the State will use to determine the extent of such damage and the amount it expects to seek to restore the affected natural resources to their pre-damage state. This matter will be resolved upon the court’s approval of the NJ Statewide Settlement described in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. EPA CERCLA Claim In April 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) also designated PFOA and PFAS as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). In November 2024, the EPA issued a letter to DuPont, EIDP and Corteva asserting CERCLA claims related to alleged PFAS contamination from six historical and present DuPont and Chemours sites and providing a demand for cleanup and restoration costs. In September 2025, the EPA announced its intent to retain the designation of PFOA and PFOS as CERCLA hazardous substances. Discussions among the parties are ongoing. 59 Table of Contents
