Forward Guidance
DuPont expects demand to remain strong in most end-markets, but anticipates continued softness in consumer electronics and some slowing in semiconductor fab production rates. The company plans to reduce production rates to realign working capital and expects incremental currency headwinds to further impact results. Full year organic sales growth is expected to be high-single digits, and updated full year adjusted EPS guidance includes a $0.09 headwind from an increased tax rate, offset by a lower share count and net interest benefits.
Positive Outlook
- Demand across most key end-markets remained strong.
- Teams continued to successfully execute in a challenging macro environment.
- Expect demand to remain strong in most end-markets, notably water, industrial and auto adhesives.
- Expect full year organic sales growth of high-single digits remains unchanged.
- Lower share count resulting from planned share repurchases and net interest benefits expected to be realized related to cash proceeds received from the M&M transaction.
Challenges Ahead
- Challenging macro environment marked by inflation and foreign currency headwinds.
