PR Newswire (US)
MIDLAND, Mich., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow (NYSE: DOW):
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSNet sales were $9.8 billion, down 6% year-over-year, reflecting flat sales in Performance Materials & Coatings and declines in the other operating segments.Volume decreased 2% year-over-year, driven by declines in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, which was impacted by the Middle East conflict. Gains in Packaging & Specialty Plastics from higher polyethylene volumes were more than offset by lower merchant olefins sales following the idling of a cracker in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) in mid-2025 and planned maintenance activity in the U.S. Gulf Coast.Local price was down 7% versus the year-ago period.The Company suspended Sadara equity loss recognition in the first quarter of 2026 in accordance with GAAP. The carrying value of all liabilities on the balance sheet reached total existing relevant obligations and commitments.GAAP net loss was $445 million. Op. EBIT1 was $154 million, down $76 million year-over-year. This was primarily driven by lower prices, which were partly offset by tailwinds from the Company's cost reduction program.GAAP loss per share was $0.74; operating earnings per share (EPS)1 was a loss of $0.14, compared to earnings of $0.02 in the year-ago period. Op. EPS excludes significant items totaling $0.60 per share, driven by an adjustment to the Sadara guarantee liability and taxes associated with receipt of payment from NOVA Chemicals related to the Company's ongoing litigation. Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $1.1 billion, up $1.0 billion year-over-year, primarily driven by receipt of payment from NOVA Chemicals and working capital improvements. Returns to shareholders totaled $252 million of dividends in the quarter.CEO QUOTE
"In the first quarter, our results reflect the growing impact of Dow's self-help actions. Additionally, the margin backdrop began to positively inflect in March following global supply constraints, as impacts from the conflict in the Middle East quickly became widespread," said Jim Fitterling, Dow chair and CEO. "The strength of Dow's advantaged portfolio is a clear differentiator, enabling us to win in our key end markets. Our unmatched Americas manufacturing footprint, leading European feedstock flexibility and agile global supply chains allow us to continue to innovate and serve our customers safely and reliably through all cycles and macroeconomic conditions. We also remain steadfast in our commitment to Transform to Outperform, which is already becoming a catalyst for growth, productivity and sustained value creation well into the future."SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Local price decreased 9% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower polyethylene prices. Currency increased net sales by 3%. Volume decreased 1% year-over-year as higher polyethylene volumes in all regions were offset by lower merchant olefins sales and lower licensing revenue.Op. EBIT was $208 million, a decrease of $134 million compared to the year-ago period, driven by lower integrated margins and higher planned maintenance activity, partly offset by higher polyethylene volumes that were enabled by our new polyethylene unit in Freeport, Texas and tailwinds from the Company's cost reduction program.Packaging and Specialty Plastics business reported a net sales decrease versus the year-ago period, as lower polyethylene prices and lower licensing revenue were partly offset by higher volume in resilient flexible packaging applications.Hydrocarbons & Energy business reported a net sales decrease year-over-year, driven by lower merchant olefins sales due to planned maintenance activity in the U.S. Gulf Coast and the idling of a cracker in EMEAI in mid-2025.Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure

EBIT was $117 million, an increase of $68 million versus the year-ago period. This was driven primarily by volume gains across both businesses and lower fixed costs, including lower planned maintenance activity and tailwinds from the Company's cost reduction program, which were partly offset by lower price.Consumer Solutions business reported an increase in net sales versus the year-ago period, driven by currency tailwinds and volume gains in downstream silicones, led by gains in electronics applications globally and home and personal care applications in the U.S. & Canada, which were partially offset by lower local prices.Coatings & Performance Monomers business reported a decrease in net sales compared to the year-ago period, as lower prices were partly offset by higher acrylic monomers volume, primarily in the U.S. & Canada.OUTLOOK

This earnings release includes information that does not conform to GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's 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 GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 11. Dow does not provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period.Operating Earnings Per Share is defined as "Loss per common share - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items.Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Loss before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items.Operating EBIT Margin is defined as Operating EBIT as a percentage of net sales.Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Loss before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items.Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations," less capital expenditures. Under this definition, Free Cash Flow represents the cash generated by the Company from operations after investing in its asset base. Free Cash Flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represent the cash available to fund obligations and provide returns to shareholders. Free Cash Flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process.Cash Flow Conversion is defined as "Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations," divided by Operating EBITDA. Management believes Cash Flow Conversion is an important financial metric as it helps the Company determine how efficiently it is converting its earnings into cash flow.Operating Return on Capital (ROC) is defined as net operating profit after tax, excluding the impact of significant items, divided by total average capital, also referred to as ROIC.

MIDLAND, Mich., Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow (NYSE: DOW):
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSNet sales were $9.5 billion, down 9% year-over-year, reflecting declines in all operating segments. Sequentially, net sales were down 5%, led by local price and volume declines from normal seasonality.Volume decreased 2% year-over-year, led by declines in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, driven by lower merchant olefins sales in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) following the idling of a cracker in the region earlier in the year. Sequentially, volume decreased 2%, led by normal seasonality across building & construction.Local price was down 8% versus the year-ago period and down 3% sequentially.GAAP net loss was $1.5 billion. Op. EBIT1 was $33 million, down $421 million year-over-year. This was primarily driven by price declines and lower operating rates, which were partly offset by tailwinds from the Company's cost reduction program. Sequentially, Op. EBIT decreased $147 million, driven by margin compression and seasonally lower demand, partly offset by lower fixed costs.GAAP loss per share was $2.15; operating earnings per share (EPS)1 was a loss of $0.34, compared to $0.00 in the year-ago period and a loss of $0.19 in the prior quarter. Op. EPS excludes significant items totaling $1.81 per share, led by impairment charges associated with the Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals business and non-cash pension settlement charges.Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $298 million, down $513 million year-over-year, primarily driven by lower earnings. Sequentially, it was down $832 million, primarily driven by advance payments received for low-carbon solutions and other long-term supply agreements in the prior quarter.Returns to shareholders totaled $251 million of dividends in the quarter.The Company delivered full year net sales of $40.0 billion in 2025. GAAP net loss was $2.4 billion, down from income of $1.2 billion in 2024. Operating EBIT was $0.4 billion, down from $2.6 billion last year. Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $1.1 billion compared to $2.9 billion in 2024.

"In 2025, we achieved well over half of our more than $6.5 billion in near-term cash and cost support actions, including the accelerated delivery of more than $400 million in cost savings from our $1 billion program. As we move forward, Transform to Outperform represents a comprehensive and radical simplification of our operating model. It aims to deliver step-change productivity across every business and function and growth with our customers. We expect these efforts to provide at least $2 billion in additional near-term earnings while helping Dow set new competitive standards and improve shareholder returns."SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTSPackaging & Specialty Plastics

This earnings release includes information that does not conform to GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's 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 GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 11. Dow does not provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period.Operating Earnings Per Share is defined as "Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items.Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items.Operating EBIT Margin is defined as Operating EBIT as a percentage of net sales.Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items.Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," less capital expenditures. Under this definition, Free Cash Flow represents the cash generated by the Company from operations after investing in its asset base. Free Cash Flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represent the cash available to fund obligations and provide returns to shareholders. Free Cash Flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process.Cash Flow Conversion is defined as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," divided by Operating EBITDA. Management believes Cash Flow Conversion is an important financial metric as it helps the Company determine how efficiently it is converting its earnings into cash flow.Operating Return on Invested Capital ("ROC") is defined as net operating profit after tax, excluding the impact of significant items, divided by total average capital, also referred to as ROIC.
