DuPont Reports 3Q 2025 Results

Announces $2 billion share repurchase authorization and $500 million accelerated share repurchase.

DuPont announces its financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, which includes the segment results of IndustrialsCo, excluding the Aramids business, which is reported as discontinued operations, and ElectronicsCo.

“We exceeded our previously announced third quarter guidance, delivering another quarter of year-over-year growth in organic sales and operating EBITDA,” says Lori Koch, DuPont CEO. “Ongoing strength in electronics, healthcare and water end-markets, along with our team’s focus on operational execution continued to drive strong top-line growth and cash conversion. As a result of our strong third quarter performance and operational improvements, we are raising our full year earnings guidance for new DuPont.

“We also announced a $2 billion share repurchase authorization including an accelerated share repurchase of $500 million, and our initial dividend for new DuPont,” Koch continues. “As a leading advanced solutions provider, the new DuPont is well-positioned to drive continued value creation for our shareholders.”

Net sales increased 7% to $3.1 billion, as a 7% increase in volume and a 1% currency benefit was partially offset by a 1% decrease in price. DuPont saw a 10% organic sales growth in ElectronicsCo, and 4% organic sales growth in IndustrialsCo.

GAAP income/GAAP EPS decreased as the benefit from higher segment earnings was more than offset by higher separation transaction costs and the absence of prior year gains related to interest rate swaps. Operating EBITDA increased on organic growth and productivity, partially offset by growth investments.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the quarter was $591 million, capital expenditures of $146 million and separation related transaction cost and other payments of $131 million resulted in transaction-adjusted free cash flow and related conversion of $576 million and 126%, respectively.

The company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $2 billion of DuPont common stock, DuPont expects to repurchase $500 million, in aggregate, of its common stock through an accelerated share repurchase to be launched imminently.

The company also announces that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend for new DuPont of $0.20 per share on its outstanding common stock, payable Dec. 15, 2025, to holders of record at the close of business on Nov. 28, 2025. The dividend is in line with new DuPont’s targeted 35-45% payout ratio.

“I am pleased with the strong execution in third quarter and the momentum we are building as new DuPont. As a result of our third quarter performance as well as operational improvements within the business, we are raising our full year 2025 earnings guidance,” said Antonella Franzen, DuPont CFO. “Organic sales growth for the full year remains in line with the guidance we provided at Investor Day, up 2 percent year-over-year on strong demand in healthcare and water end-markets partially offset by continued weakness in construction markets.”
