Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Overview
Effective August 31, 2017, pursuant to the merger of equals transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017, The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Historical Dow”) and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Historical DuPont”) each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont Inc. (“DowDuPont”) and as a result, Historical Dow and Historical DuPont became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, Historical Dow and Historical DuPont engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. Dow Inc. (“Dow”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont to serve as the holding company for the materials science business and Corteva Inc. (“Corteva”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont to serve as the holding company for the agriculture business.
DowDuPont previously announced its intent to separate into three, independent, publicly traded companies through the Dow Distribution followed by the intended Corteva Distribution (together the “Distributions”). Following the Distributions, DowDuPont will continue to hold the specialty products business and operate as “DuPont” and as such, is referred to as DuPont in this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
In contemplation of the Distributions and to achieve the respective credit profiles of each of the intended future companies, in the fourth quarter of 2018, DowDuPont consummated a public underwritten offer of eight series of senior unsecured notes (the “DowDuPont Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $12.7 billion and also entered into a term loan agreement consisting of two term loan facilities (“Term Loan Facilities”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion; the funds from such Term Loan Facilities were not drawn as of December 31, 2018 but are expected to be drawn prior to the Corteva Distribution (collectively referred to herein as “the Financings”). The net proceeds from the Financings either have been or are intended to reduce or otherwise delever the outstanding liabilities allocable to Dow and Corteva and also were used to fund DowDuPont’s $3.0 billion share repurchase program announced in November 2018 (“Share Repurchase Program”).
Spin-Off of Dow
Effective as of 5:00 p.m. on April 1, 2019, DowDuPont completed the Dow Distribution. Immediately after the distribution, DowDuPont does not beneficially own any equity interest in Dow and will no longer consolidate Dow into its financial results. Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, Dow’s historical financial results for periods prior to April 1, 2019 will be reflected in DuPont’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.
IntendedSpin-Off of Corteva
On June 1, 2019, DowDuPont intends to complete the Corteva Distribution. As of the effective date and time of the intended distribution, it is expected that DowDuPont will not beneficially own any equity interest in Corteva and will no longer consolidate Corteva into its financial results. Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, Corteva’s historical financial results for periods prior to June 1, 2019 will be reflected in DuPont’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information and accompanying notes (the “pro forma financial statements”) are derived from DowDuPont’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, adjusted to give effect to the Merger, the Dow Distribution and the intended Corteva Distribution, both of which will be treated as discontinued operations, and the Financings, including the use and intended use of proceeds from such Financings (collectively “the Transactions”). The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results. Information in the pro forma financial statements is presented as follows:
| • | | The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet is presented as the Distributions, along with intended borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities and intended use of proceeds from the Financings, had been consummated on December 31, 2018. |
| • | | The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 give effect to the pro forma discontinued operations presentation of the materials science and agriculture businesses, further adjusted to present the Merger, Financings and Distributions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2017. |
| • | | The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 gives effect only to the pro forma discontinued operations presentation of the materials science and agriculture businesses of Historical Dow as if the Distributions had occurred on January 1, 2016. |
