NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, collectively referred to as the “2015 Annual Report”. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained, as well as variable interest entities (VIEs) for which DuPont is the primary beneficiary.

Basis of Presentation

Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current year's presentation. On July 1, 2015, the company completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (Chemours). In accordance with GAAP, the financial position and results of operations of the Performance Chemicals segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to the Performance Chemicals segment have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Amounts related to the Performance Chemicals segment are consistently included or excluded from the Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements based on the respective financial statement line item. See Note 3 for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Implemented in 2016

In November 2015, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments under the new guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The amendments in this ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, $368 and $37 of deferred tax assets and liabilities, respectively, were reclassified from current to noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share or its Equivalent. This guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented and early adoption is permissible. The company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016. The guidance ~~will~~ only ~~impact~~impacts disclosure and ~~will~~did not impact the company's financial position or results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements to be Implemented

In ~~March~~August 2016, the FASB ~~Issued~~issued ASU No. ~~2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation~~2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic ~~718)~~230), ~~Improvements~~Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.

The guidance is effective for ~~annual periods~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2016,~~2017, and interim periods within those ~~annual periods.~~fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, ~~for any entity~~including adoption in ~~any~~an interim ~~or annual~~ period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The new guidance will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU was issued as part of the FASB Simplification Initiative and involves several aspects of accounting for shared-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under the new guidance will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, other than leases that meet the definition of a short- term lease. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease ~~accounting, but without explicit bright lines.~~accounting. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new leasing standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, requiring application at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued ASU No. ~~2014-9,~~2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which was further updated in March, April, and ~~April~~May 2016. The new guidance clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a deferral of the ASU effective date from annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 2. Proposed Merger with Dow Chemical

On December 11, 2015, DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) announced entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of ~~equals.~~equals (the Merger Transaction) subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval. The ~~companies anticipate that the merger will close and become effective (the Effective Time), in the second half of 2016 and the~~ combined company will be named ~~DowDuPont.~~DowDuPont Inc. (DowDuPont). Following the consummation of the ~~merger,~~Merger Transaction, DuPont and Dow intend to pursue, subject to the receipt of approval by the board of directors of DowDuPont, the separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, specialty products business and material science business through a series of tax-efficient transactions (collectively, the Business Separations.)

Additional information about the Merger Agreement and the Business Separations is set forth in the company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the ~~SEC~~U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 11, ~~2015 and~~2015; the company’s 2015 Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 4, 2016 and the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-209869) (as amended, the Registration Statement) filed by DowDuPont and declared effective by the SEC on June 9, 2016. The Registration Statement constitutes a prospectus of DowDuPont and a joint proxy statement of Dow and DuPont. The joint proxy statement relates to the separate special meetings of the companies’ respective common stock shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 2, 2016, to adopt the Merger Agreement and related matters. DuPont's special meeting of stockholders was held on July 20, 2016, which resulted in a vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of related matters.

On August 11, 2016, DuPont and Dow confirmed that the European Commission had initiated a Phase II review of the proposed merger under the European Union Merger Regulation. Phase II generally provides the Commission with 90 working days to review the pending transaction. On September 2, 2016, DuPont and Dow mutually agreed to grant the European Commission an extension of 10 working days in connection with its Phase II review. The European Commission subsequently announced that it suspended its review pending receipt of additional information. After receiving the additional information, the European Commission resumed its review in late September 2016. As a result, the European Commission could take until early February 2017 to complete its review. DuPont and Dow continue to work constructively with regulators to address questions and obtain approval, and to prepare for closing as soon as possible after closing conditions have been met. Consummation of the Merger Transaction is contingent on satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval from the U.S., European Union, China, Brazil and Canada. In the event that regulators in key jurisdictions utilize their respective full allotted time to complete review and approval of the Merger Transaction, closing would be expected to occur in the first quarter of 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a $2 net adjustment to the estimated costs associated with the 2014 restructuring program was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. This was primarily due to the identification of additional projects in certain segments, offset by lower than estimated individual severance costs and workforce reductions achieved through non-severance programs.

~~2014 Restructuring Program~~Asset Impairment

~~At March 31,~~During the third quarter 2016, ~~total liabilities~~the company completed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests. The company recognized a $158 pre-tax impairment charge in employee separation / asset related charges, net during the three months ended September 30, 2016 related to indefinite-lived intangible trade names within the ~~2014 restructuring program were $55. A complete discussion~~Industrial Biosciences segment. In connection with business strategy reviews and brand realignment conducted during the third quarter 2016, the company decided to phase out the use of ~~restructuring initiatives is included~~certain acquired trade names within the segment resulting in a change from an indefinite life to a finite useful life for these assets. As a result of these changes, the carrying value of the trade name assets exceeded the fair value.

The basis of the fair value for the charges was calculated utilizing an income approach (relief from royalty method) using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the ~~company's~~company’s 2015 Annual Report in Note ~~4, "Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net."~~1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The key assumptions used in the calculation included projected revenue, royalty rates and discount rates. These key assumptions involve management judgment and estimates relating to future operating performance and economic conditions that may differ from actual cash flows. The remaining net book value of the trade names at September 30, 2016 was approximately $28, which represents fair value.

Cost Basis Investment Impairment

During the first quarter 2015, a $38 pre-tax impairment charge was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net within the Other segment. The majority related to a cost basis investment in which the assessment resulted from the venture's revised operating plan reflecting underperformance of its European wheat based ethanol facility and deteriorating European ethanol market conditions. As a result, the carrying value of DuPont's 6 percent cost basis investment in this venture exceeded its fair value by $37, such that an impairment charge was recorded.

The following table summarizes the impacts of the company's foreign currency hedging program on the company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and 2015. The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The hedging program gains (losses) are largely taxable (tax deductible) in the U.S., whereas the offsetting exchange gains (losses) on the re-measurement of ~~the~~certain net monetary asset positions are ~~often~~ not taxable (tax deductible) in their local jurisdictions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other (loss) income, net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for income taxes on continuing operations in the interim Consolidated Income Statements.

Note 6. Income Taxes

Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is reasonably possible that net reductions to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be in the range of $100 to $120 within the next twelve months with the majority due to the settlement of uncertain tax positions with various tax authorities.

Note 10. Short-Term and Long-Term Borrowings

Repurchase Facility

In February 2016, the company entered into a committed receivable repurchase agreement of up to $1,000 (the Repurchase Facility). The Repurchase Facility is structured to account for the seasonality of the agricultural business and expires on November 30, 2016. Under the Repurchase Facility, the company may sell a portfolio of available and eligible outstanding customer notes receivables within the Agriculture segment to participating institutions and simultaneously must agree to repurchase such notes receivable at a future date. The Repurchase Facility is considered a secured borrowing with the customer notes receivables utilized as collateral. The amount of collateral required equals 105% of the outstanding borrowing amounts. Borrowings under the Repurchase Facility have an interest rate of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 0.75%.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, ~~$315~~$1,050 of notes receivable, recorded in accounts and notes receivable, net, were pledged as collateral against outstanding borrowings under the Repurchase Facility of ~~$300,~~$1,000, recorded in short-term borrowings and capital lease obligations.

Term Loan Facility

In March 2016, the company entered into a credit agreement that provides for a three-year, senior unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500 (the Term Loan Facility). DuPont may make up to seven term loan borrowings within one year of the closing date and amounts repaid or prepaid are not available for subsequent borrowings. The Term Loan Facility matures in March 2019 at which time all outstanding borrowings, including accrued but unpaid interest, become immediately due and payable.

Under the Term Loan Facility, DuPont can borrow funds at LIBOR plus a spread from 0.75% to 1.25% (LIBOR Loan Rate) depending on DuPont's long term credit rating. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, the company had borrowed $500 at the LIBOR Loan Rate and had unused commitments of $4,000 under the Term Loan Facility.

DuPont has the option of obtaining a same day loan under the Term Loan Facility at an interest rate based on the higher of a) the LIBOR Loan Rate, b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% plus a margin from 0.00% to 0.25% depending on DuPont's long term credit rating (Margin) or c) the prime rate plus Margin.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Guarantees

Indemnifications

In connection with acquisitions and divestitures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transaction. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, the company indemnifies its duly elected or appointed directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, against liabilities incurred as a result of their activities for the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability or have a liability increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future payments is generally unlimited.

Obligations for Equity Affiliates & Others

The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to equity affiliates, customers and suppliers. In connection with the separation, the company has directly guaranteed Chemours' purchase obligations under an agreement with a third party supplier. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the company had directly guaranteed $~~323~~319 and $337, respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under the guarantees. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party.

The company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

In certain cases, the company has recourse to assets held as collateral, as well as personal guarantees from customers and suppliers. Assuming liquidation, these assets are estimated to cover 2722 percent of the $~~112~~105 of guaranteed obligations of customers and suppliers.

Litigation

The company is subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of its business including product liability, intellectual property, commercial, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. Although considerable uncertainty exists, management does not anticipate that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, the ultimate liabilities could be material to results of operations in the period recognized.

PFOA

DuPont used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt), as a processing aid to manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia. ~~At March 31, 2016,~~

Since 2006, DuPont has an accrual balance of $14 related to the PFOA matters discussed below. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3, the company is indemnified by Chemours for the PFOA matters discussed below. As a result, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of $14 corresponding to the accrual balance as of March 31, 2016.

~~The accrual includes charges related to DuPont's~~undertaken obligations under agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and voluntary commitments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental ~~Protection.~~Protection (NJDEP). These obligations and voluntary commitments include surveying, sampling and testing drinking water in and around certain company sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national ~~Provisional Health Advisory.~~health advisory level, even if provisional, as established from time to time by EPA. A provisional health advisory level was set in 2009 at 0.4 parts per billion (ppb) for PFOA in drinking water considering episodic exposure. In May 2016, EPA announced a health advisory level of 0.07 ppb for PFOA in drinking water considering lifetime versus episodic exposure.

At September 30, 2016 DuPont had an accrual balance of $18 related to the PFOA matters discussed in this Note. The company recorded an additional $5 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily for the impact of the new health advisory level on the company's obligations to EPA which have expanded the previously established testing and water supply commitments around the Washington Works facility. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3, the company is indemnified by Chemours for PFOA matters. As a result, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of $18 corresponding to the accrual balance as of September 30, 2016.

Drinking Water Actions

In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach vv. DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living near the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004 that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $23 and made a payment of $70, which class counsel designated to fund a community health project. The company funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science panel of experts (the C8 Science Panel). The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to evaluate available scientific evidence on whether any probable link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and human disease.

The C8 Science Panel found probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol.

In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic testing of eligible class members. In September 2014, the medical panel recommended follow-up screening and diagnostic testing three years after initial testing, based on individual results. The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion of its protocol. The company is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members and, in addition, administrative costs associated with the program, including class counsel fees. In January 2012, the company established and put $1 into an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Dollars in millions, except per share)~~

Under the settlement agreement, the balance in the escrow amount must be at least $0.5; as a result, transfers of additional funds may be required periodically. The court appointed Director of Medical Monitoring has established the program to implement the medical panel's recommendations and the registration process, as well as eligibility screening, is ongoing. Diagnostic screening and testing has begun and associated payments to service providers are being disbursed from the escrow account; at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, less than $1 has been disbursed. While it is probable that the company will incur liabilities related to funding the medical monitoring program, such liabilities cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding the level of participation by eligible class members and the scope of testing.

In addition, under the settlement agreement, the company must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA), and private well users.

Class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for those human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel determined a probable link exists. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were approximately 3,500 lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia. These lawsuits are consolidated in multi-district litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio ~~federal court (MDL)~~(the Court). ~~About 75 percent of~~DuPont, through Chemours, denies the allegations in these lawsuits ~~allege personal injury claims associated only with high cholesterol and/or thyroid disease from exposure to PFOA in drinking water.~~and is defending itself vigorously. As a result of plaintiffs' corrected pleadings and further discovery, in the first quarter 2016, the company ~~has~~ revised downward to 30 the estimated number of the pending lawsuits ~~alleging~~that allege wrongful death.

In 2014, six plaintiffs from the MDL were selected for individual trial. ~~The~~One of these six cases was voluntarily withdrawn by plaintiffs. In the first case tried to verdict, captioned Bartlett v. DuPont, in October 2015, the jury awarded $1.6 in compensatory damages ~~in the first individual trial, captioned Bartlett v DuPont, which was tried to a verdict in October 2015.~~and no punitive damages. The plaintiff alleged that exposure to PFOA in drinking water had caused kidney cancer. DuPont ~~through Chemours,~~ is appealing the decision. The second matter selected for trial, Wolf vv. DuPont, involved allegations that exposure to PFOA in drinking water caused ulcerative ~~colitis,~~colitis; prior to trial, a confidential settlement for an ~~inconsequential~~immaterial amount was reached ~~and substantially completed~~ in ~~Wolf v DuPont. Three~~the first quarter 2016. Two cases ~~are scheduled for trial in 2016 starting in May, August and November, respectively; the plaintiffs in each of these cases allege exposure to PFOA in drinking water caused cancer.~~

In January 2016, the court determined that 40 cases in which plaintiffs assert cancer claims, would be scheduled for trial in 2017, beginning in April of that year. Less than 10 percent of the 3,500 pending lawsuits involve claimsalleging that exposure to PFOA in drinking water caused ~~cancer.~~kidney cancer were settled in the second quarter 2016, for amounts immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

In the second case to be tried to a verdict, Freeman v. DuPont, the plaintiff alleged that exposure to PFOA in drinking water caused testicular cancer. In July 2016, the jury awarded $5.1 in compensatory damages plus $0.5 in punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. The company is appealing the decision.

As a result, four of the six cases have been resolved and the two that were tried to a verdict have been or will be appealed. In January 2016, the Court determined that 40 cases asserting cancer claims, to be identified by plaintiffs' attorneys, would be scheduled for trial through ~~Chemours, denies~~2017. In July 2016, the ~~allegations~~Court scheduled the first case for trial in November 2016 and the second case for trial in January 2017. In both of these cases, plaintiffs allege that exposure to PFOA in drinking water caused testicular cancer and high cholesterol. The Court announced that the remaining 38 trials would be scheduled to begin each week starting in May 2017.

An approximate breakdown of the about 3,500 lawsuits still pending in the MDL is shown below.



Alleged Injury	Number of Claims
Kidney cancer	200
Testicular cancer	70

Preeclampsia	200

This type of litigation could take place over many years and interim results do not predict the final outcome of cases. While DuPont believes it is ~~defending itself vigorously.~~probable that it could incur liabilities related to the lawsuits still pending in the MDL beyond the settlements discussed above, a range of such liabilities cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Given the wide range of outcomes associated with the six initial cases in the MDL as discussed above, including two cases that have been or will be appealed, the company does not believe activity to date provides a reasonable basis to derive a range of loss for the remaining lawsuits still pending in the MDL in total or by category of claim. The possible range of loss is unpredictable and involves significant uncertainty due to the uniqueness of the remaining, individual plaintiff's claims and the company's defenses to those claims both as to potential liability and damages on an individual claims basis, among other factors.

The Court has ordered the parties to participate in confidential, nonbinding mediation regarding global resolution of the MDL. This process is ongoing.

Additional Actions

In the first quarter 2016, a confidential settlement was reached in the Ohio action brought by the LHWA claiming, “imminent and substantial endangerment to health and or the environment” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in addition to general claims of PFOA contamination of drinking water. The cost of the settlement was paid by Chemours.

Under the Separation Agreement, all liabilities associated with the PFOA ~~Summary~~

~~While it is probable that the company will incur~~matters discussed above, including liabilities related to ~~funding~~judgments, including punitive damages, or settlements associated with the ~~medical monitoring program, such liabilities cannot be reasonably estimated due~~MDL, are subject to ~~uncertainties surrounding the level of participation~~indemnification by eligible class members and the scope of testing. DuPont believes that it is reasonably possible that it could incur additional liabilities related to the other PFOA matters discussed above; however, a range of such liabilities, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, due to the uniqueness of the individual MDL plaintiff's claims and the company's defenses to those claims both as to potential liability and damages on an individual claims basis, among other factors. As noted above, the company is indemnified by Chemours for these PFOA matters.Chemours.

Environmental

The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company accrues for environmental remediation activities consistent with the policy as described in the company's 2015 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Much of this liability results from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred to as Superfund), RCRA and similar state and global laws. These laws require the company to undertake certain investigative, remediation and restoration activities at sites where the company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where company-generated waste was disposed. The accrual also includes estimated costs related to a number of sites identified by the company for which it is probable that environmental remediation will be required, but which are not currently the subject of enforcement activities.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Dollars in millions, except per share)~~

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of potentially responsible parties. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of ~~$492,~~$497, relating to these matters and, in management's opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. The average time frame over which the accrued or presently unrecognized amounts may be paid, based on past history, is estimated to be 15-20 years. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and, under adverse changes in circumstances, the potential liability may range up to ~~$1,025~~$976 above the amount accrued as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3, the company is indemnified by Chemours for certain environmental matters, included in the liability of ~~$492,~~$497, that have an estimated liability of ~~$282~~$280 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, and a potential exposure that ranges up to approximately ~~$618~~$600 above the amount accrued. As such, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of ~~$282~~$280 corresponding to the company’s accrual balance related to these matters at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016.

Note 12. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

2015 Share Buyback Plan

In the first quarter 2015, DuPont announced its intention to buy back shares of about $4,000 using the distribution proceeds received from Chemours. In connection with the completion of the spin-off of Chemours, the Board of Directors authorized the use of the distribution proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock as follows: $2,000 to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2015, which was completed during 2015, with the remainder to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2016. There were no share repurchases under this plan in the first and second quarter 2016. As a result of ~~March 31,~~the planned merger with Dow, the company’s opportunity to repurchase shares was restricted until after the shareholder vote on the merger. The shareholder vote occurred on July 20, 2016. During the third quarter 2016, the company purchased and retired 6 million shares in the open market for a total cost of $416. As of September 30, 2016, in aggregate, the company has paid ~~$2,000~~$2,416 and received and retired 3541 million shares. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the company will evaluate the opportunities to enter the market and plans to make additional repurchases; however, the company will not complete the remainder of the $2,000 stock buyback by year-end 2016.

2014 Share Buyback Plan

In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5,000 share buyback plan that replaced the 2011 plan. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2015, the company purchased and retired ~~3.6~~4.6 million shares in the open market for a total cost of ~~$282,~~$353, which offset the dilution from employee compensation plans in the first and second quarter of 2015. There were no share repurchases under this plan in the first, second and third quarter 2016. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, in aggregate, the company has purchased 34.7 million shares at a total cost of $2,353 under the plan. There is no required completion date for the remaining stock ~~purchases.~~purchases under the 2014 plan.

Noncontrolling Interest

In September 2015, the company obtained a controlling interest in a joint venture included in the Performance Materials segment. Accordingly, the company consolidated the entity at September 30, 2015 and recorded the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the amount of $157 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

^1.

The ~~increase in~~ currency translation ~~adjustment gains over prior year~~gain for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 is primarily driven by the modest weakening of the U.S. dollar (USD) against the European Euro (EUR) and the Brazilian ~~real.~~real (BRL). The ~~increase in~~ currency translation ~~adjustment losses over prior year~~loss for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2015 ~~is primarily~~was driven by the strengthening of the USD against the ~~European Euro~~BRL partially offset by the USD weakening against the EUR. The currency translation loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was driven by the strengthening of the USD against both the BRL and ~~Brazilian real.~~the EURO.


^2.	These amounts represent changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss excluding changes due to reclassifying amounts to the interim Consolidated Income Statements. See Notes 13 and 14 for additional information.


^3.	These accumulated other comprehensive loss components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost of the company's pension and other long-term employee benefit plans. See Note 14 for additional information.


^4.	The unrealized ~~loss~~gain (loss) on securities during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 is due to the re-measurement of USD denominated marketable securities held by certain foreign entities at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 with a corresponding offset to cumulative translation adjustment.

^1.	Available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were ~~$260~~$161 and $626 in the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2016.~~September 30, 2016, respectively.


^2.	Held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost.

The estimated fair value of the company's cash equivalents, which approximates carrying value as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was determined using level 1 and level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 measurements were based on observed net asset values and level 2 measurements were based on current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity.

~~(Dollars in millions, except per share)~~

The estimated fair value of the held-to-maturity securities, which approximates carrying value as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described below. Level 2 measurements were based on current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity. The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the investments.

The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale securities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was determined using level 1 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 measurements were based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The available-for-sale securities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are held by certain foreign subsidiaries in which the USD is not the functional currency. The fluctuations in foreign exchange are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These fluctuations are subsequently reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings in the period in which the ~~marketable~~available-for-sale securities are sold and the gains and losses on these securities offset a portion of the foreign exchange fluctuations in earnings for the company.

Debt

The estimated fair value of the company's total debt, including interest rate financial instruments, was determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2015 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's debt was approximately $~~10,310~~12,040 and $9,050 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps. The company has not designated any ~~nonderivatives~~non derivatives as hedging instruments.

The company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The company's derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the company's derivative instruments were as follows:


	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency contracts	$	1	$	10	$	—	$	10
Commodity contracts	265		356		26		356
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency contracts	9,320		8,065		7,758		8,065
Commodity contracts	16		70		13		70

Foreign Currency Risk

The company's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign currency rate changes. Accordingly, the company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and cash flows.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Dollars in millions, except per share)~~

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts, including forward exchange and option contracts, to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, net of related tax effects, are minimized. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. The objective of the hedge program is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

~~Interest Rate Risk~~

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

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn, soybeans and soybean meal. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agricultural commodity exposures.

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company uses foreign currency exchange instruments such as forwards and options to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency denominated revenues. In addition, the company occasionally uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated transactions such as capital expenditures.

Commodity Contracts

The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments, including options, futures and swaps, to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agriculture commodity exposures.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the next two-year period. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring. The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 and 2015:


	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Contracts

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts, including forward exchange and options contracts, to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts, including forward exchange and options contracts, to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Commodity Contracts

The company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn, soybeans and soybean meal.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The table below presents the fair values of the company's derivative assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2015 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Note 14. Long-Term Employee Benefits

Pension Plans

The workforce reductions in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2016 related to the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan triggered ~~a curtailment~~curtailments for certain of the company's pension plans, including the principal U.S. pension plan. ~~As a result, the company recorded a curtailment loss of $49 and re-measured~~For the principal U.S. pension plan, the company recorded curtailment losses of $63 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and re-measured the plan as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. The curtailment ~~loss was~~losses were driven by the ~~change~~changes in the benefit obligation based on the demographics of the terminated positions partially offset by accelerated recognition of a portion of the prior service benefit. In connection with the re-measurement, the company updated the discount rate assumed at December 31, 2015 from 4.47 percent to ~~4.13~~3.74 percent ~~for the plan.~~as of June 30, 2016. The re-measurement increased the underfunded status of the principal U.S. pension plan by ~~$1,191~~$2,352 with a corresponding increase in net loss within other comprehensive loss for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016. In addition, the company recorded $15 and $51 of settlement charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the company's Pension Restoration Plan which provides for lump sum payments to certain eligible retirees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company recorded $44 of settlement charges related to the Pension Restoration Plan, of which $32 related to settlements that occurred in prior periods.

Other Long-Term Employee Benefit Plans

As a result of the workforce reductions noted above, ~~a curtailment was~~curtailments were triggered for the company's other long term employee benefit plans. The company recorded a curtailment ~~gain~~gains of ~~$30~~$33 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and re-measured the associated plans as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. The curtailment ~~gain was~~gains were driven by accelerated recognition of a portion of the prior service benefit partially offset by the change in the benefit obligation based on the demographics of the terminated positions. In connection with the re-measurement, the company updated the associated plans’ weighted average discount rate assumed at December 31, 2015 from 4.30 percent to ~~3.94 percent.~~3.55 percent as of June 30, 2016. The re-measurement resulted in a net increase of ~~$124~~$265 to the company’s other long-term employee benefit obligation with a corresponding increase to net loss within other comprehensive loss for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016.

Recent Developments

DuPont Dow Merger of Equals

On December 11, 2015, DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) announced entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of ~~equals.~~equals (the Merger Transaction), subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval. The ~~companies anticipate that the merger will close and become effective (the Effective Time), in the second half of 2016 and the~~ combined company will be named ~~DowDuPont.~~ DowDuPont Inc. (DowDuPont). DuPont's special meeting of stockholders was held on July 20, 2016, which resulted in a vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of related matters. See Note 2 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

On August 11, 2016, DuPont and Dow confirmed that the European Commission had initiated a Phase II review of the proposed merger under the European Union Merger Regulation. Phase II generally provides the Commission with 90 working days to review the pending transaction. On September 2, 2016, DuPont and Dow mutually agreed to grant the European Commission an extension of 10 working days in connection with its Phase II review. The European Commission subsequently announced that it suspended its review pending receipt of additional information. After receiving the additional information, the European Commission resumed its review in late September 2016. As a result, the European Commission could take until early February 2017 to complete its review. DuPont and Dow continue to work constructively with regulators to address questions and obtain approval, and to prepare for closing as soon as possible after closing conditions have been met. Consummation of the Merger Transaction is contingent on satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval from the U.S., European Union, China, Brazil and Canada. In the event that regulators in these key jurisdictions utilize their respective full allotted time to complete review and approval of the Merger Transaction, closing would be expected to occur in the first quarter of 2017.

Following the consummation of the merger, DuPont and Dow intend to pursue, subject to the receipt of approval by the board of directors of DowDuPont, the separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, specialty products business and material science business through a series of tax-efficient ~~transactions (collectively, the Business Separations.)~~transactions. Dow and DuPont currently anticipate that the intended business separation transactions will ~~be consummated as soon as practicable following the consummation of the merger, but consummation of the intended business separation transactions is not expected to exceed 18-24~~occur in about 18 months after the ~~merger.~~merger is consummated.

During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, the company has incurred ~~$24~~$122 million and $222 million, respectively, of costs in connection with the planned merger with Dow. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements ~~for the three months ended March 31, 2016,~~ and primarily include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses.

~~DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited~~

~~In March~~ For full-year 2016, the company ~~sold 100 percent~~now expects to incur about $390 million ($0.37 per share) of ~~its ownership interest in DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited~~transaction costs related to the Feixiang Group. The sale of the entity resulted in a pre-tax gain of $369 million ($214 million net of tax). The gain was recorded in other income, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and reflected as a Corporate item.

~~La Porte Plant, La Porte, Texas~~

In March 2016, DuPont announced its decision to not re-start the Agriculture segment’s insecticide manufacturing facility at the La Porte site located in La Porte, Texas. The facility manufactures Lannate^® ~~and Vydate~~^® insecticides and has been shut down since November 2014. As a result of this decision, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, a pre-tax charge of $75 million was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net which included $41 million of asset related charges, $18 million of contract termination costs, and $16 million of employee severanceplanned merger with Dow and related ~~benefit costs. This charge~~activities as the timing of when certain costs will be incurred is ~~not reflected in Agriculture's segment operating earnings for~~contingent on when the ~~three months ended March 31, 2016.~~Merger Transaction closes.

Agriculture's segment operating earnings was negatively impacted by $40 million from the shutdown of the La Porte manufacturing facility for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in prior year due to lower sales of Lannate^® ~~and Vydate~~^® ~~insecticides, fixed overhead costs and write-off of inventory. The DuPont Crop Protection business has identified alternative sources for the supply of methomyl, the active ingredient in Lannate~~^® in order to meet the majority of the expected demand for this product. These new sources have either been or are in the process of being registered in the relevant markets. In addition, the business is actively pursuing the procurement of oxamyl, the active ingredient in Vydate^®.

2016 Global Cost Savings and Restructuring Plan

In December 2015, DuPont announced a 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan designed to reduce $730 million in costs in 2016 compared with 2015, which represents a reduction of operating costs on a run-rate basis of about $1.0 billion by end of 2016. As part of the plan, the company committed to take structural actions across all businesses and staff functions globally to operate more efficiently by further consolidating businesses and aligning staff functions more closely with them. In connection with the ~~first~~restructuring actions, the company recorded a pre-tax charge to earnings of $798 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, comprised of $656 million of severance and related benefit costs, $109 million of asset related charges, and $33 million of contract termination costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, in connection with the restructuring actions, the company recorded a net pre-tax ~~charge~~benefit to earnings of $2$71 million, comprised of ~~$(44)~~a reduction of $135 million ofin severance and related benefit costs, ~~$37~~offset by $53 million of asset related charges, and $9$11 million of contract termination costs. The reduction in severance and related benefit costs was driven by elimination of positions at a lower cost than expected. The 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan is on track to deliver $730 million in cost reductions in 2016 versus prior year.

The restructuring actions associated with this charge are expected to impact approximately 10 percent of DuPont’s workforce and to be substantially complete in 2016.

Separation of Performance Chemicals

On July 1, 2015 (the Distribution Date), DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (Chemours). The financial position and results of operations of the Performance Chemicals segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

Volume growth reflects ~~reduced demand for crop protection insecticide products and soybean seeds, competitive pressures impacting Solamet~~^® ~~paste, lower demand for ethylene and ethylene-based products and lower demand for Protection Solutions products. Lower volumes were partially offset by increased corn seed volumes~~increases in most of the reportable segments, with 6 percent increases in North America and ~~Brazil~~Asia Pacific. Currency impact on sales was negligible as the stronger Brazilian real and ~~broad-based growth~~Japanese yen offset the weaker Chinese yuan and currencies in ~~Nutrition & Health.~~developing EMEA. The 2 percent decline in local price and product mix principally reflects lower price for crop protection products and the pass-through of lower raw material costs. Net sales of $2.0 billion in developing markets, declined 4 percent to $2.1 billion, reflecting a 9 percent negative currency impact, largely due to weaker currencies in Latin America and Eastern Europe, partially offset by 5 percent increase in volume and local price, primarily from Agriculture and Nutrition & Health in Europe and Asia Pacific, principally China. Developing marketswhich include China, India, and countries ~~located~~ in Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Southeast ~~Asia.~~Asia, increased 2 percent with 2 percent higher volume.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $19.4 billion, 2 percent below $19.8 billion in the prior year, reflecting 1 percent higher volume more than offset by 1 percent lower prices and a 2 percent negative currency impact. Currency impact primarily reflects the weaker Brazilian real, Euro and Chinese yuan. Volume primarily reflects growth in the Asia Pacific region and for Industrial Biosciences, Performance Materials, Nutrition & Health, and Agriculture. The 1 percent decline in local price and product mix principally reflects the pass-through of lower raw material costs and lower prices for ethylene. Net sales in developing markets of $6.2 billion increased 1 percent from prior year, as a negative currency impact, largely due to the weaker Brazilian real and weaker currencies in developing EMEA, were offset by volume growth, principally from increased sales in developing Asia and higher seed volume in Latin America. Sales in developing markets represent 32 percent of total company sales, increasing from 31 percent last year.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS totaled ~~$4.2~~$3.1 billion for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016, flat versus ~~$4.5~~the prior year. Lower costs for raw materials offset an increase from higher volume. COGS as a percentage of sales was 63 percent, unchanged from the prior year.

COGS for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $11.3 billion versus $11.7 billion in the prior year, a 63 percent decrease, principally due to lower raw material costs and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus global ~~currencies, lower volume and lower costs for raw materials, energy and freight.~~currencies. COGS as a percentage of ~~net~~ sales was ~~essentially flat~~58 percent versus 59 percent in the prior year, ~~over year at about 57 percent.~~

the improvement primarily due to lower costs noted above.

Other Operating Charges

Other operating charges ~~were $185~~of $176 million for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 ~~versus $148~~increased from $91 million in the prior year, ~~a 25 percent increase,~~ primarily due to ~~litigation expenses and~~ the absence of ~~$35~~$147 million ~~of insurance recoveries related to~~in Imprelis^® herbicide ~~claims, partially~~insurance recoveries received in the prior year period offset by lower environmental costs, lower costs related to the 2016 cost savings and restructuring plan and the absence of separation costs associated with the separation of Performance Chemicals.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, other operating charges were $504 million versus $413 million in the prior year, an increase of $91 million reflecting lower Imprelis^® herbicide insurance recoveries, partly offset by a ~~$23 million~~ reduction in the estimated liability related to Imprelis^® herbicide claims and the absence of separation costs associated with the separation of Performance Chemicals. ~~Additional information related to the separation is included in Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A ~~totaled $1.1 billion~~ for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 decreased $30 million or 3 percent to $1,016 million versus ~~$1.2 billion~~the prior year. Lower costs related to the 2016 cost savings and restructuring plan were largely offset by $122 million of costs associated with the planned merger with Dow. SG&A was approximately 21 percent of net sales for the third quarter 2016 and 2015.

SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $3,355 million versus $3,540 million in the prior ~~year, an 8 percent~~year. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs related to the 2016 cost savings and restructuring plan and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus global currencies, partially offset by ~~$24~~$222 million of ~~transaction~~ costs associated with the planned merger with ~~the Dow and related activities.~~Dow. SG&A was approximately 1517 percent and 1618 percent of net sales for the ~~first quarter~~nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was ~~due to the lower costs noted above.~~primarily driven by a decrease in cost.

Research and Development Expense (R&D)

R&D totaled ~~$418~~$410 million and $441 million for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 ~~versus~~ and ~~$479~~2015, respectively. Year-to-date R&D totaled $1,260 million and $1,415 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in ~~the prior year, a 13 percent decrease,~~both periods was primarily due to lower costs related to the 2016 cost savings and restructuring plan and ~~the~~ strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus global currencies. R&D was approximately 68 percent and 9 percent of net sales for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively. R&D was approximately 7 percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Other (Loss) Income, Net

Other (loss) income, net, totaled ~~$372~~$(16) million for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 ~~an increase of $173 million~~ compared to ~~$199~~$98 million in the prior year, ~~primarily~~a decrease of $114 million due to the absence of gains on sales of businesses and other assets and an increase in net pre-tax exchange losses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, other (loss) income, net, was $407 million compared to $552 million in the prior year, a decrease of $145 million. A gain of $369 million associated with the sale of DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited entity was partially offset by an increase in net pre-tax exchange losses of ~~$200 million.~~$266 million and the absence of a prior year gain for settlement of a legal claim. The increase in net pre-tax ~~net~~ exchange losses was driven by losses on foreign currency exchange contracts.

See Notes 5 and 13 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company's policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

~~Additional information related to the company's other income, net, is included in Note 5 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled ~~$92~~$93 million and $82 million in the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 ~~compared to $84 million in~~and 2015, respectively, an increase of ~~10 percent,~~$11 million, primarily due to higher borrowings and lower capitalized interest related to construction projects.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, interest expense was $278 million versus $260 million in the prior year, reflecting lower capitalized interest related to construction projects, partially offset by ~~lower borrowings.~~the absence of a $20 million premium paid on the early retirement of DuPont debt in 2015.

Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net

Employee separation / asset related charges, net totaled $172 million during the third quarter 2016, due to a $158 million impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible trade names within the Industrial Biosciences segment and a $14 million charge associated with the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan. The impairment charge was the result of realignment of brand marketing strategies and a determination to phase out the use of certain acquired trade names.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, employee separation / asset related charges, net ~~were $77~~was $159 million ~~compared to $38~~versus $40 million in ~~2015. First quarter~~the prior year, due to a $158 million impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible tradenames and a $1 million net charge associated with the 2016 ~~included~~global cost savings and restructuring plan. A net benefit of $74 million was primarily driven by a reduction in severance and related benefit costs in the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan. The reduction in severance and related benefit costs was driven by the elimination of positions at a lower cost than expected as a result of redeployments and attrition as well as lower than estimated individual severance costs. This was offset by a $75 million charge in the first quarter related to the decision not to re-start the insecticide manufacturing facility at the La Porte site located in La Porte, ~~Texas and a $2 million net restructuring charge associated with the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring program. First quarter~~Texas. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a $38 million charge related to cost investment ~~impairments.~~impairments and a $2 million net restructuring charge related to the 2014 restructuring program.

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

Provision for Income Taxes on Continuing Operations

The company's effective tax rate for the ~~first~~third quarter 2016 was ~~24.8~~123.2 percent on a pre-tax (loss) from continuing operations of $(56) million as compared to ~~34.2~~42.3 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $227 million in 2015. The higher effective tax rate is primarily driven by the impact of costs associated with the planned merger with Dow and related activities, in addition to the impact of the impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets within the Industrial Biosciences segment. These impacts were partially offset by favorable geographic mix of earnings as well as the impact of the certain net exchange gains recognized on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions which were not taxable in their local jurisdictions.

The company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 22.1 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2.9 billion as compared to 29.4 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $3.0 billion in 2015. The lower effective tax rate is primarily driven by the impact of the ~~company’s~~certain net exchange gains ~~/ (losses)~~ recognized on the ~~re-measurement~~remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions which ~~are often~~were not taxable ~~/ (tax deductible)~~ in their local jurisdictions, ~~as well as the absence of the 2015 tax impact associated with the Ukraine hryvnia re-measurement,~~ partially offset by the tax consequences of the gain on the sale of an entity ~~and unfavorable geographic mix of earnings.~~in the first quarter 2016.

See ~~Notes 3 and 5~~Note 6 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

~~Outlook~~

~~The company has revised its full-year 2016 outlook from previous expectations included within the 2015 Annual Report to include the following:~~

~~Since December 2015, the U.S. dollar has weakened against most other currencies; as a result the company expects currency to be less of a headwind for full-year 2016 than previously anticipated.~~

In Agriculture, higher-than-anticipated corn planted area is expected to partially offset the impact of Pioneer’s transition to an agency-based route-to-market approach in the southern U.S., which will shift some sales from 2016 to the first quarter of 2017. Seasonal timing benefits realized through the first quarter 2016 from a stronger-than-anticipated start in Agriculture are expected to be offset in the second quarter.

~~For full-year 2016, the company expects to incur about $420 million ($0.40 per share) of transactions costs related to the planned merger with Dow and related activities.~~

Workforce reductions in the first quarter 2016 related to the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan triggered curtailments and related re-measurements of the U.S. pension and other-post-retirement employee benefit plans. As a result, the company has reduced the expected decrease in 2016 long-term employee benefits expense from continuing operations as compared to 2015 to $120 million from $230 million at December 31, 2015. See further information included in Note 14 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The company expects future workforce reductions associated with this plan during the year to trigger additional settlements and curtailments, the impacts of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Agriculture -~~First~~Third quarter 2016 segment net sales of ~~$3,786~~$1,119 million increased $26 million, or 2 percent, primarily due to higher volumes and a benefit from currency, partially offset by lower local price and portfolio changes. Increased seed volumes were partially offset by lower fungicide and insecticide volumes. Increased seed prices were more than offset by lower crop protection prices. Seed sales were up 10 percent and crop protection sales were down 4 percent. A seasonal operating loss of $189 million improved $21 million, or 10 percent, as cost savings, higher volumes and a $28 million benefit from currency were partially offset by lower local price and higher product costs. Prior year operating earnings included $27 million for gains on the sales of assets and $21 million benefit related to an adjustment for prior periods’ cost of golds sold.

Year-to-date segment net sales of $8,123 million decreased ~~$151~~$125 million, or 42 percent, primarily due to the negative impact of currency and lower volumes, partially offset with higher local price from pricing actions to mitigate currency impacts in Europe and Brazil and improved mix from new products in North America corn seed. Lower insecticide and soybean seed volumes wereas well as an impact of portfolio changes, partially offset by ~~increased~~higher volumes and local price. Increased corn seed volumes in Latin America and North America due to higher ~~expected~~ acreage, were partially offset by lower insecticide volumes due to continued low pest pressure and higher ~~corn~~inventories, and soybean seed ~~volume~~and fungicide volumes. Increases in ~~Brazil~~local prices were driven by improved mix from ~~the Safrinha season~~new seed products and ~~increased demand~~pricing actions to offset currency for ~~sunflower seed in Europe.~~crop protection products. Operating earnings of ~~$1,101~~$1,777 million ~~decreased $37~~increased $77 million, or 35 percent, primarily due to ~~an $83~~cost savings and higher local price and product mix, partially offset by a $91 million negative impact from currency ~~impact, lower volumes~~ and ~~about a $40 million~~the negative impact from the shutdown of the La Porte manufacturing facility due to lost sales, fixed overhead costs and inventory ~~write-offs, partially offset by local price and product mix gains and cost savings.~~

~~Outlook~~ Full year 2016 segment net sales are expected to be down low-single digits percent as local price and product mix gains are more than offset by the negative impact of currency. Higher corn seed volumes are expected to be offset by lower insecticide and soybean seed volumes. Full year operating earnings are expected to be up mid-single digits percent as cost savings and local price and product mix gains more than offset the negative impact of currency.write-offs.

Electronics & Communications - ~~First~~Third quarter 2016 segment net sales of ~~$452~~$493 million decreased ~~$65~~$39 million, or 137 percent, primarily due to ~~competitive pressures impacting Solamet~~lower demand, driven by declines in Tedlar^®~~paste,~~ film for photovoltaics, and continued weakness in the consumer electronics market, as well as lower local price. Operating earnings of $108 million increased $4 million, or 4 percent, as cost savings more than offset lower sales.

Year-to-date segment net sales of $1,439 million decreased $138 million, or 9 percent, due to lower demand for products for the consumer electronics market, ~~lower pricing from the pass-through of lower metals prices~~competitive pressures impacting Solamet^® paste, and ~~the negative impact of currency, partially offset by~~ volume ~~growth for~~declines in Tedlar^®film for photovoltaics. Operating earnings of ~~$59~~$260 million decreased ~~$20~~$12 million, or 254 percent, as lower sales and a $16 million litigation expense were partially offset by cost savings.

~~Outlook~~Industrial Biosciences - ~~Full year~~Third quarter 2016 segment net sales are expected to be down low-single digits percent with second half growth in photovoltaics and consumer electronics which will mostly offset first half declines. Full year operating earnings are expected to be up low-teensof $392 million increased $18 million, or 5 percent, due to ~~second half~~increased demand in bioactives and biomaterials, primarily from growth in home and personal care and the apparel market, and the impact of portfolio changes, partially offset by a negative impact of currency.

~~Industrial Biosciences -~~ ~~First quarter 2016~~Year-to-date segment net sales of ~~$352~~$1,099 million increased $2$18 million, or 12 percent, ~~primarily due to higher pricing and volume from new product introductions~~as increased demand in bioactives and ~~increased demand for~~ biomaterials ~~mostly~~was partially offset by lower volumes in clean technologies and the negative impact of ~~currency and lower demand for clean technologies offerings.~~currency. Operating earnings of ~~$63~~$203 million increased $9$38 million, or 1723 percent, ~~reflecting~~as cost savings, higher sales and the absence of cost from the write-off of a prior year acquisition related indemnification asset in clean technologies ~~and improved mix from new products,~~were partially offset by ~~a negative impact from currency.~~

~~Outlook~~ Full year 2016 segment net sales are expected to be about flat. Volume improvement, pricing, the impact of new product introductions in bioactives, including increased market penetration in animal nutrition and home and personal care, and the portfolio impact from the fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of enzyme and technology assets from Dyadic International Inc. are expected to be offset by lower demand for clean technology offerings and the negative impact of currency. ~~Full year 2016 operating earnings are expected to be up by the low-teens percent, primarily due mix enrichment and cost savings.~~

Nutrition & Health - ~~First~~Third quarter 2016 segment net sales of ~~$801~~$823 million ~~decreased $12~~increased $13 million, or 12 percent, ~~primarily~~ due to ~~the negative impact of currency, partially offset by~~ broad-based volume growth led by probiotics, cultures and ingredient systems, ~~texturants and specialty proteins. Operating earnings of $104 million increased $18 million, or 21 percent, as volume growth and cost savings more than offset a negative currency impact.~~

~~Outlook~~ Full year 2016 segment net sales are expected to be about flat with continued strength in probiotics and cultures, offset by the negative impact of currency. Full year 2016 operating earnings are expected to be up in the low-twenty percent range, as mix enrichment and cost savings more than offset the negative impact of currency.

~~Performance Materials -~~ First quarter 2016 segment net sales of $1,249 million decreased $132 million, or 10 percent, primarily due lower local price, lower volume and a negative impact from currency. Lower price was driven by lower ethylene prices and competitive pressure in commodity product lines. Lower volumes in ethylene and ethylene-based products were partially offset by increased demand in Asia Pacific automotive markets, primarily in China. Operating earnings of $273 million decreased $44 million, or 14 percent, primarily due to lower sales and a $19 million negative impact from currency, partially offset by lower costs.

~~Outlook~~ Full year 2016 segment net sales are expected to be about flat and full year 2016 operating earnings are expected to be down in the mid-single digits percent range, as volume growth is anticipated to be more than offset by lower local price and the negative impact of currency. ~~Full~~Operating earnings of $135 million increased $33 million, or 32 percent, on cost savings, volume growth, and lower product costs.

Year-to-date segment net sales of $2,459 million remained about flat from prior year ~~2015 operating~~due to broad-based volume growth led by probiotics, specialty proteins and ingredient systems offset by the negative impact of currency and lower local price.

Performance Materials - Third quarter 2016 segment net sales of $1,334 million increased $32 million, or 2 percent, as increased demand for polymers in Asia Pacific automotive markets, primarily in China, were partially offset by lower prices driven by pricing pressure for raw materials pass-through. Operating earnings of $371 million increased $54 million, or 17 percent, as cost savings, increased volumes and lower product costs more than offset the absence of a $16 million net benefit from a joint venture and a $14 million negative impact from currency.

Year-to-date segment net sales of $3,918 million decreased $103 million, or 3 percent, due to lower local price driven by pricing pressure for raw materials pass-through and the ~~sale~~negative impact from currency, partially offset by increased demand for polymers in automotive markets. Operating earnings of $969 million increased $34 million, or 4 percent, as cost savings and increased demand more than offset a ~~business and realization of tax benefits associated with a manufacturing site.~~$49 million negative impact from currency.

Protection Solutions - ~~First~~Third quarter 2016 segment net sales of ~~$729~~$722 million were flat with prior year, as increased volumes driven by increased demand in Tyvek^®protective materials and Corian^® and Zodiaq^® solid surfaces, primarily in North America, were offset by lower volume in Nomex^® thermal-resistant fiber and Kevlar^®high-strength material driven by weakness in the oil and gas industry and in military spending, as well as unfavorable mix. Operating earnings of $162 million increased $16 million, or 11 percent, driven by cost savings and increased volumes, partially offset by a negative currency impact.

Year-to-date segment net sales of $2,237 million decreased ~~$61~~$82 million, or 84 percent, ~~primarily~~ due to lower volume, the negative impact of currency, and ~~lower local price.~~unfavorable mix.

Total debt as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 was ~~$9.8~~$11.4 billion, a ~~$1.0~~$2.5 billion increase from $8.8 billion as of December 31, 2015, due primarily to borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Repurchase Facility, discussed below, as well as increased commercial paper borrowings, ~~net of~~partially offset by repayments for debt maturities. The increase in total debt from December 31, 2015 is primarily due to normal seasonal working capital requirements.

In March 2016, the company entered into a credit agreement that provides for a three-year, senior unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $4.5 billion (the Term Loan Facility). DuPont may make up to seven term loan borrowings within one year of the closing date and amounts repaid or prepaid are not available for subsequent borrowings. The proceeds from the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will be used for the company's general corporate purposes including debt repayment, working capital and share repurchases. The Term Loan Facility matures in March 2019 at which time all outstanding borrowings, including accrued but unpaid interest, become immediately due and payable. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, the company had borrowed ~~$500 million~~$0.5 billion and had unused commitments of ~~$4.0~~$4 billion under the Term Loan Facility.

In addition, in March 2016, the company amended the existing revolving credit facility to reduce the aggregate principal amount of commitments from $4 billion to $3 billion consistent with lower expected commercial paper borrowings.

The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings and generally consistent with those applicable to DuPont’s long-term public debt. The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility contain a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization for DuPont and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.6667. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016, the company was in compliance with this financial covenant.

The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility impose additional affirmative and negative covenants on DuPont and its subsidiaries after the closing of the proposed merger with Dow, subject to certain limitations, including to:

not sell, lease or otherwise convey to DowDuPont, its shareholders or its non-DuPont subsidiaries, any assets or properties of DuPont or its subsidiaries unless the aggregate amount of revenues attributable to all such assets and properties so conveyed after the merger does not exceed 30% of the consolidated revenues of DuPont and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015; and

not guarantee any indebtedness or other obligations of DowDuPont, Dow or their respective subsidiaries (other than of DuPont and its subsidiaries).

The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility will terminate, and the loans and other amounts thereunder will become due and payable, upon the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Agriculture line of business to DowDuPont, its shareholders or any of its non-DuPont subsidiaries.

In February 2016, in line with seasonal agricultural working capital requirements, the company entered into a committed receivable repurchase agreement of up to $1 billion (the Repurchase Facility) that expires on November 30, 2016. Under the Repurchase Facility, the company may sell a portfolio of available and eligible outstanding customer notes receivables within the Agriculture segment to participating institutions and simultaneously agree to repurchase at a future date. See further discussion of this facility in Note 10 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company has access to approximately ~~$8.6~~$7.9 billion in unused credit lines, an increase of ~~$3.7~~$3 billion from $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2015 due to the Term Loan ~~Facility and Repurchase~~ Facility discussed above, partially offset by the amended revolving credit facility discussed above. These unused credit lines provide support to meet short-term liquidity needs and general corporate purposes including letters of credit.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash used for operating activities was ~~$1.8~~$1.1 billion for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016 compared to ~~$2.1~~$1.8 billion during the same period in 2015. The ~~$0.3 billion~~ decrease in cash used for operations was primarily due ~~primarily~~ to lower working capital ~~requirements~~and lower tax payments, partially offset by increased employer pension contributions.

Cash used for investing activities was $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 essentially flat compared to the same period last year.

The ~~change was primarily the result of proceeds received from the sale of an entity, the sale of marketable securities and reduced purchases of property, plant and equipment.

In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion share buyback plan that replaced the 2011 plan. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2015, the company purchased and retired ~~3.6~~4.6 million shares in the open market for a total cost of ~~$282~~$353 million, which offset the dilution from employee compensation plans in the first and second quarter of 2015. There were no share repurchases under this plan ~~in the first~~through third quarter 2016. There is no required completion date for the remaining stock purchases.

In the first quarter 2015, DuPont announced its intention to buy back shares of about $4 billion using the distribution proceeds received from Chemours. In connection with the completion of the spin-off of Chemours, the Board of Directors authorized the use of the distribution proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock as follows: $2 billion to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2015, which was completed during 2015, with the remainder to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2016. ~~There~~As a result of the planned merger with Dow, the company’s opportunity to repurchase shares was restricted until after the July 20, 2016 shareholder vote on the merger, and therefore there were no share repurchases under this plan in the first or second quarter 2016. ~~DuPont's objective continues to be to complete~~During the ~~remaining $2 billion stock buyback by year end 2016.
