Forward Guidance
For third quarter, we expect sales to be slightly up sequentially with improvement in automotive and residential construction mostly offset by seasonal patterns in Nutrition & Biosciences as well as the impact of supply constraints across our Tyvek® enterprise as we perform routine maintenance on the assets. Oil & gas, aerospace, industrial, and commercial construction markets will remain challenged. We expect third quarter adjusted EPS in the range of $0.71 - $0.73.
