Our performance reflects a solid start to the season in the Northern Hemisphere coupled with disciplined cost management and continued demand for our advanced technology, all of which allowed us to deliver earnings growth and margin expansion. We also made good progress on our separation, naming executive leadership teams for both future companies, filing our initial Form 10, and announcing Vylor, the new name for our future advanced seed and genetics company. We remain focused on launching two strong companies, on track for the fourth quarter, and on delivering our 2026 targets. Our future is bright. "Chuck Magro
Chief Executive Officer______________________________________________________________________________________Company UpdatesSeparation Update: Key Milestone TargetsCorteva remains on track to complete the planned separation in the second half of 2026, with already announced key milestonesAnnounced Luke Kissam as New Corteva CEO, along with other key executive leadership rolesVylor was announced as the name of the future advanced seed and genetics companyInitial Form 10 filed with the SEC – due to regulatory requirements, Vylor will be shown as the continuing operations of Corteva, Inc. with New Corteva presented as discontinued operationsOne-time separation costs4 expected to be ~$350 million, consistent with external benchmark rangesNet dis-synergies estimate of ~$100 million trending favorably; $50 million included in full-year 2026 guidanceIn April 2026, the Board of Directors approved a discretionary contribution to the principal U.S. pension plan of approximately $1.5 billion (on a pre-tax basis) to be made on or before July 31, 2026. The company continues to expect both companies at separation to have strong balance sheets and investment grade credit ratings.Key separation milestones still expected to be achieved in the first half of 2026:Form 10 public filing in late Q2 Credit agency review and response to capital structure submissions for both companiesAdditional key milestones and updates that will occur in the second half of 2026:Approval of final capital structuresAppointment of both companies' Board of DirectorsForm 10 goes effectiveWebcasted Investor Day events at New York Stock Exchange on September 15, 2026Seed SummarySeed net sales were $3.02 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up from $2.71 billion in the first quarter of 2025. The sales increase was driven by a 6% increase in volume, 3% increase in price/mix, and 3% favorable currency impact.Price/mix gains in all regions demonstrate demand for top technology and the strength of the portfolio. Volume increases in North America and EMEA2 are due to timing shifts and favorable weather in the northern hemisphere. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Euro.Segment operating EBITDA was $1,034 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 23% from the first quarter of 2025. Volume, price execution, net cost and productivity benefits, and net royalty improvement more than offset higher selling expense and compensation. Segment operating EBITDA margin improved by about 310 basis points versus the prior-year period.

The sales increase was driven by a 6% increase in volume, a 6% favorable currency impact, partially offset by a 2% decrease in price.Volume improvement was driven by demand for new products and spinosyns, coupled with timing shifts in North America and EMEA. Price declines, primarily in Latin America and APAC, are due to continued competitive market dynamics in those regions. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Euro and Brazilian Real.Segment operating EBITDA was $434 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 15% from the first quarter of 2025.

Growers are increasingly prioritizing advanced genetics and higher-value, technology-enabled solutions to optimize yield outcomes, reinforcing strong demand for differentiated offerings. At the same time, reduced export availability from China is contributing to a gradual tightening in global supply-demand dynamics as the season progresses. Grain and oilseed markets have shown improvement, supported in part by evolving geopolitical factors, providing a more constructive backdrop for the sector.Across the portfolio, our full-year outlook remains constructive. In Seed, we expect continued demand for our technology-driven offerings, supported by product innovation and a solid start to the Northern Hemisphere planting season. In Crop Protection, we anticipate volume growth driven by demand for differentiated solutions, with an improving supply-demand environment helping to moderate prior headwinds. Farm-level conditions remain measured, as growers continue to manage input costs carefully, but investment in yield-enhancing technologies remains a clear priority. Overall, we expect the net impact from geopolitical and trade developments on our full-year results to be manageable within our current guide, and underlying demand is expected to remain resilient.As a result, the Company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance3 with Operating EBITDA1 expected to be $4.0 billion to $4.2 billion, growth of 7% at the mid-point. Operating EPS1 is expected to be $3.45 to $3.70 per share, growth of 7% at the mid-point. The Company expects to repurchase approximately $500 million of shares during the first half of 2026.The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of its control, such as Significant Items, without unreasonable effort.First Quarter Conference CallThe Company will host a live webcast of its first quarter 2026 earnings conference call with investors to discuss its results and outlook tomorrow, May 6, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

Where, in any forward-looking statement or other estimate, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of Corteva's management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Corteva disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law. A detailed discussion of some of the significant risks and uncertainties which may cause results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled "Risk Factors" in Corteva's annual and quarterly reports filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.Regulation G (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may include organic sales, organic growth (including by segment and region), operating EBITDA, operating earnings (loss) per share, and base income tax rate. 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 in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page A-5 of the Financial Statement Schedules.Corteva is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of the Company's control, such as significant items, without unreasonable effort. For significant items reported in the periods presented, refer to page A-8 of the Financial Statement Schedules. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company presents accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a significant item. Accelerated prepaid royalty amortization represents the non-cash charge associated with the recognition of upfront payments made to Monsanto in connection with the Company's non-exclusive license in the United States and Canada for Monsanto's Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits. Due to the ramp-up of Enlist E3TM, Corteva significantly reduced the volume of products with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits beginning in 2021, with expected minimal use of the trait platform thereafter. In 2023 and 2024, the Company committed to restructuring activities to optimize the Crop Protection network of manufacturing and external partners, which are expected to be substantially complete in 2026. The Company expects to record approximately $80 million to $90 million net pre-tax restructuring charges during 2026 for these activities.Organic sales is defined as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio and other impacts, including significant items. 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 other post- employment benefit (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. Base income tax rate is defined as the effective income tax rate less the effect of exchange gains (losses), significant items, separation costs, amortization of intangibles (existing as of Corteva Separation), mark-to-market (gains) losses on certain foreign currency contracts not designated as hedges, and non-operating (benefits) costs.® TM Corteva Agriscience and its affiliated companies.

Organic1 sales decreased 4%.Volume was down 5% versus prior year largely due to seasonal timing shifts into third quarter 2025 and first quarter 2026 in both Crop Protection and Seed. Crop Protection volume decreased 2% over the prior year, driven primarily by a seasonal shift in North America to the first quarter of 2026 and the timing of fungicide demand in Latin America. Seed volume decreased 8% versus prior year due primarily to a shift of certain North American deliveries into first quarter 2026 due to freight optimization and weather-related delays, as well as a shift into third quarter 2025 for early deliveries in Latin America in advance of the safrinha season.Price was up 1% versus prior year. Seed price/mix was up 3% over the prior year with gains in nearly all regions, offset by a shift in out-licensing income to the third quarter in North America. Crop Protection price was down 1% driven largely by competitive pricing dynamics in Latin America and partially offset by price/mix increases in North America.GAAP loss from continuing operations after income taxes was $537 million in fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of $50 million in fourth quarter of 2024. Operating EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 was income of $446 million, down 15% compared to prior year.

The sales decrease reflects an 8% decrease in volume, partially offset by a 3% increase in price/mix and a 3% favorable currency impact.Volume declines in the quarter were due primarily to a shift of certain North American deliveries into first quarter 2026 due to freight optimization and weather-related delays. In addition, early deliveries ahead of the safrinha season in Latin America shifted volumes into the third quarter. The increase in price is due primarily to continued demand for top technology, partially offset by a shift of out-licensing income into the third quarter in North America. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real.Segment operating EBITDA was $124 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an improvement of 33% from the fourth quarter of 2024. Cost benefits from productivity and deflation drove the improvement versus prior year, partially offset by higher compensation expense, bad debt, and R&D expense.

The sales decrease over the prior period reflects a 2% decrease in volume and a 1% price decline, partially offset by a 2% favorable benefit from currency.The decrease in volume was primarily driven by a seasonal shift to the first quarter of 2026 in North America and the timing of fungicide demand in Latin America, partially offset by strong demand for biologicals. The price decline was primarily due to the competitive pricing environment in Latin America, partially offset by North America price increases. Favorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real.Segment operating EBITDA was $360 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, down 22% from the fourth quarter of 2024. Productivity savings were more than offset by price pressure and higher compensation and R&D costs. Segment operating EBITDA margin declined by approximately 435 basis points versus the prior-year period.

The sales increase reflects a 5% increase in volume, partially offset by a 2% decline in price and a 1% unfavorable impact from currency.The increase in volume was driven by demand for new products, herbicides, and biologicals. The price decline was primarily due to competitive market dynamics in Latin America, partially offset by North America price increases. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Turkish Lira and the Brazilian Real.Segment operating EBITDA was $1,350 million for the full year of 2025, up 6% from the same period last year. Raw material deflation, productivity savings, and volume growth more than offset the unfavorable impact of currency, price pressure, and higher compensation and bad debt in SG&A.

Global corn area was up in 2025, most notably in North America, driven by favorable corn economics relative to soybeans, with a mid-single digit planted area increase in Latin America. However, the large crop production year in 2025 kept pace with record demand. As a result, any shift from corn to soybean planted acres in the US in 2026 is expected to be manageable.The global crop protection industry is expected to improve modestly with volume gains more than offsetting ongoing pricing pressure in certain key regions including Latin America and Asia Pacific.As it pertains to incremental global tariff impacts in 2026 across both businesses, the Company's current estimate is ~$80 million, which is included in our current 2026 guidance. For the full year 2026, Corteva expects operating EBITDA1 to be $4.0 billion to $4.2 billion, growth of 7% at the mid-point. Operating EPS1 is expected to be $3.45 to $3.70 per share, growth of 7% at the mid-point.The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of its control, such as Significant Items, without unreasonable effort.Fourth Quarter Conference CallThe Company will host a live webcast of its fourth quarter 2025 earnings conference call with investors to discuss its results and outlook tomorrow, February 4, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about Corteva's financial results or outlook; strategy for growth; product development; regulatory approvals; market position; capital allocation strategy; liquidity; sustainability targets and initiatives; the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, restructuring actions, or cost savings initiatives; the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Separation; and the outcome of contingencies, such as litigation and environmental matters, are forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statements and other estimates are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be accurate or realized. Forward-looking statements and other estimates also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control. While the list of factors presented below is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

Additionally, there may be other risks and uncertainties that Corteva is unable to currently identify or that Corteva does not currently expect to have a material impact on its business. Where, in any forward-looking statement or other estimate, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of Corteva's management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Corteva disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law. A detailed discussion of some of the significant risks and uncertainties which may cause results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the "Risk Factors" section of Corteva's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as modified by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.Regulation G (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may include organic sales, organic growth (including by segment and region), operating EBITDA, operating earnings (loss) per share, and base income tax rate. 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 in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page A-5 of the Financial Statement Schedules.Corteva is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of the Company's control, such as significant items, without unreasonable effort. For significant items reported in the periods presented, refer to page A-10 of the Financial Statement Schedules. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company presents accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a significant item. Accelerated prepaid royalty amortization represents the non-cash charge associated with the recognition of upfront payments made to Monsanto in connection with the Company's non-exclusive license in the United States and Canada for Monsanto's Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits. Due to the ramp-up of Enlist E3TM, Corteva significantly reduced the volume of products with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits beginning in 2021, with expected minimal use of the trait platform thereafter. In 2023 and 2024, the company committed to restructuring activities to optimize the Crop Protection network of manufacturing and external partners, which are expected to be substantially complete in 2026. The company expects to record approximately $80 million to $90 million net pre-tax restructuring charges during 2026 for these activities.Organic sales is defined as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio and other impacts, including significant items. 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 other post- employment benefit (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. Base income tax rate is defined as the effective income tax rate less the effect of exchange gains (losses), significant items, separation costs, amortization of intangibles (existing as of Corteva Separation), mark-to-market (gains) losses on certain foreign currency contracts not designated as hedges, and non-operating (benefits) costs.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.® TM Corteva Agriscience and its affiliated companies.
