Corteva Agriscience Reports Second Quarter 2019 Operating Results -
Capitalizes on Strong Performance Outside North America
Company Updates Full Year Outlook
| |
| • | GAAP earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations was $0.63, with operating EPS1 of $1.42. |
| |
| • | The Company delivered net sales of $5.6 billion, down 3 percent versus the same quarter last year, primarily due to unprecedented weather impacts in North America2. |
| |
| • | Outside North America, favorable conditions supported strong organic sales1 growth in both Crop Protection and Seed, up 21 percent and 10 percent for the quarter, respectively. |
| |
| • | GAAP net income from continuing operations totaled $0.5 billion, down 50 percent versus the same quarter last year on a pro forma basis3. Operating EBITDA1 was $1.5 billion, down 6 percent versus the same quarter last year on a pro forma basis, with operating EBITDA improvement in Crop Protection from new products and cost savings from synergies offset by currency headwinds and lower Seed results due primarily to declines in the North American market. |
| |
| • | The Company realized cost synergies of approximately $200 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, bringing the cumulative realized savings since merger close to $700 million out of the total $1.2 billion that are expected by 2021. |
| |
| • | During the first half 2019, the Company announced new regulatory approvals in Seed, together with new and expanded registrations across the Crop Protection portfolio, including the expanded federal label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Transform® WG insecticide with Isoclast™ active. |
| |
| • | Full-year pro forma operating EBITDA1 is now expected to be in the range of $1.9 billion and $2.05 billion, guidance updated as a result of the impact from unprecedented weather events driving reduced crop planting and loss of early season crop protection applications in North America. Net sales for the full year are expected to be down 3 percent. |
WILMINGTON, Del., August 1, 2019 - Corteva, Inc. (NYSE: CTVA) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and provided updated guidance for the full year.
Commenting on the Company’s second quarter 2019 performance, Chief Executive Officer Jim Collins said, “On June 1, 2019, we completed an important separation milestone, becoming a global, standalone, pure-play agriculture company - taking this step during an extraordinary period in our industry. In our initial quarter as a standalone company, we delivered technology-driven, organic growth in nearly all regions despite continued pressure from the unprecedented weather events that challenged near-term market conditions in North America.”
Collins continued, “We remain committed to executing on our priorities and adjusting our actions focused on delivering continuous value for our customers and shareholders. We are delivering on our cost synergy targets, with an additional $200 million realized in the first half, and we continue to demonstrate our commitment to customer-centered innovation through the acceleration of new product launches that are helping to address real-time challenges facing growers around the world.”

Summary of Second Quarter 2019
Weather-related planting delays and lower than expected planted area in corn, soybeans, and canola pressured sales in North America, and together with an unfavorable currency impact, drove a decrease in net sales of 3 percent in the second quarter 2019 versus the same period last year. Organic sales1 growth in Latin America was driven by strong early demand for Crop Protection products, while EMEA2 and Asia Pacific organic growth was primarily driven by strong demand for new products, including IsoclastTM insecticide, ZorvecTM fungicide and ArylexTM herbicide.
Local price declined 1 percent in the second quarter 2019 versus the year-ago period, with price gains in Rest of World2 more than offset by decreases in North America due to higher replant in corn and competitive pricing pressure on soybeans. Volumes were essentially flat versus the prior-year period due to 5 percent lower volumes in North America on weather-related impacts, offset by performance across the Rest of the World2 on volume growth of 14 percent led by Latin America on pre-season early demand. Currency represented a headwind of 2 percent compared with the same quarter last year, with impacts driven predominately by the Euro.
GAAP net income from continuing operations totaled $0.5 billion in the second quarter 2019, down 50 percent versus the same quarter last year on a pro forma basis. Operating EBITDA1 for the second quarter 2019 was $1.5 billion, a decrease of 6 percent as compared to the same period last year on a pro forma basis. Improvement in Crop Protection segment operating EBITDA from new products and cost savings from synergies were more than offset by currency impacts, lower Seed results due to competitive pricing pressure in soybeans, higher replant in corn and lower Seed margins.
Summary of First Half 2019
Net sales for the first half 2019 were $9 billion, down 6 percent as compared to the prior-year period. Volumes were down 3 percent, with gains in Latin America, EMEA and Asia Pacific more than offset by the declines in North America. Price was flat for the period, with price improvements primarily due to strong demand for new products offset by North America. Currency was a headwind of 3 percent compared with the prior-year period.
Pro forma net income from continuing operations totaled $0.6 billion for the first half 2019, down 48 percent versus the same period last year. Pro forma operating EBITDA1 for the first half 2019 was $2 billion, down 13 percent as compared to the prior-year period. Declines in Crop Protection and Seed were primarily due to lower sales from the impact of weather delays and reduced planted area in North America, competitive pricing pressure, lower margins and currency offsetting cost savings from synergies.
The Company reported GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.63, with operating EPS1 of $1.42 for the second quarter 2019. Pro forma GAAP EPS for the first half 2019 was $0.77 with pro forma operating EPS1 of $1.75.

Outlook
Corteva revised its full year guidance of pro forma operating EBITDA2 to a range of $1.9 billion to $2.05 billion. Net sales for the full year are expected to be down about 3 percent.
Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Collins said, “Despite the first-half challenges, we continue to see strength across our global business. Looking ahead to the second-half, we expect ongoing, solid adoption for high-demand products and anticipate continued ramp-up of recent product launches to continue driving high-value sales globally. We remain focused on delivering cost-synergy commitments and expect to see ongoing improvements from productivity actions in the second half. Overall, we remain firm in executing against our plans, capitalizing on the strength of our industry-leading product portfolio and business model in the face of a historic external environment.”

Crop Protection net sales were $1.9 billion in the second quarter 2019, down 1 percent from the second quarter 2018. A 3 percent increase in volume was more than offset by a 4 percent decline in currency. Rest of World organic growth was 21 percent compared to the prior-year period.
Volume growth in the segment was primarily driven by strong early demand for spinosyns insecticides and seed applied technologies in Latin America, and sales from new products, including ZorvecTM fungicide, IsoclastTM insecticide and ArylexTM herbicide, which increased 73 percent from prior year. This growth was partially offset by the impacts of wet weather in North America, which negatively impacted corn and soybean herbicide and nitrogen stabilizer applications. Unfavorable currency impacts were driven predominately by the Euro.
Crop Protection operating EBITDA was $0.5 billion in the second quarter 2019, up 6 percent from the second quarter 2018 on a pro forma basis. Cost synergies, ongoing cost reductions and sales from new products more than offset the unfavorable impact of currency.
Crop Protection net sales were $3.3 billion for the first six months of 2019, down 2 percent from the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to a 5 percent decline from currency, partially offset by a 2 percent increase in local price and a 1 percent increase in volume. Rest of World organic growth was 17 percent compared to the prior-year period.
Unfavorable currency impacts primarily due to the Euro were partially offset by increases in local price. The increase in volume was driven by sales from new product launches, including ZorvecTM fungicide and IsoclastTM insecticide, which increased 56 percent for the first half, and strong early demand for spinosyns insecticides in Latin America, partially offset by the impacts of wet weather in North America.
Crop Protection pro forma operating EBITDA was $0.7 billion for the first six months of 2019, down 10 percent from the first six months of 2018. The unfavorable impact of currency, volume declines in North America and higher input costs more than offset cost synergies and ongoing cost reductions.

Seed net sales were $3.7 billion in the second quarter 2019, down 4 percent from the second quarter 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a 2 percent decline in local price, a 1 percent decline in currency, and a 1 percent decline in volume. Rest of World organic growth was 10 percent compared to the prior-year period.
The decrease in local price was driven by competitive pressure in soybeans in North America, as well as an increase in corn seed replant in the U.S. Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the Euro. The decline in volume was driven by significant weather-related planting delays and flooding in North America, leading to a reduction in expected planted acres for corn, soybeans, and canola. Volume declines were partially offset by corn sales recovered from the first quarter weather-related delays and a change in the route-to-market in several markets, coupled with increased demand in EMEA for corn and sunflower seed, as well as strong early demand for corn seed in Latin America.
Seed pro forma operating EBITDA was $1.0 billion in the second quarter 2019, a decline of 11 percent compared to the second quarter 2018 on a pro forma basis. Competitive pricing pressure and lower margins more than offset cost synergies in R&D and ongoing cost reductions.
Seed net sales were $5.7 billion for the first six months of 2019, down 8 percent from the first six months of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a 4 percent decline in volume, a 3 percent decline in currency, and a 1 percent decline in local price. Rest of World organic growth was 7 percent compared to the prior-year period.
The decline in volume was driven by weather-related impacts in North America and the impact of early deliveries of corn seed in the fourth quarter 2018, which were partially offset by favorable corn seed demand in EMEA. Unfavorable currency impacts were driven predominately by the Euro. The decrease in local price was driven by the impact of the North American market.
Seed pro forma operating EBITDA was $1.4 billion for the first six months of 2019, a decline of 15 percent compared to the first six months of 2018 on a pro forma basis. Volume declines in North America, competitive pricing pressure and the unfavorable impact of currency more than offset cost synergies in R&D and ongoing cost reductions.

Corteva Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information for the first quarter of 2019 and prior has been included in this presentation. This presentation presents the pro forma results of Corteva, after giving effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, the divestiture of Historical DuPont’s specialty products and materials science businesses, the receipt of Dow AgroSciences, debt retirement transactions related to paying off or retiring portions of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("Historical DuPont")’s existing debt liabilities, and the separation and distribution to DowDuPont stockholders of all the outstanding shares of Corteva common stock; (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. Refer to Amendment No. 4 of Corteva’s registration statement on Form 10 filed on May 6, 2019, which can be found on the investors section of the Corteva website, for further details on the above transactions. The pro forma financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and are presented for informational purposes only, and do not purport to represent what the results of operations would have been had the above actually occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the results of operations for any future period or as of any future date.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include organic sales, operating EBITDA, pro forma operating EBITDA, segment operating EBITDA, pro forma segment operating EBITDA, operating earnings per share, and pro forma operating earnings per share. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year over year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 13. These non-GAAP measures are being reconciled to a pro forma GAAP financial measure prepared and presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. See Article 11 Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations starting on page 21.
Corteva does not provide forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.
Organic sales is defined as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio impacts. Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., income from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating costs, net and foreign exchange gains (losses), excluding the impact of adjusted significant items. Non-operating costs, net consists of non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) costs, environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites of Historical DuPont. Segment Operating EBITDA is defined as Operating EBITDA excluding corporate expenses. Operating earnings and operating earnings per share are defined as "Earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, the after-tax impact of non-operating costs, net, and the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Separation from DowDuPont. Although amortization of the Company's intangible assets is excluded from these non-GAAP measures, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to
revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.

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. The net pre-tax exchange gains and losses are recorded in other income - net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
