DuPont Reports 3Q Net Sales of $3.3 Billion, Up 4%
November 9, 2022 | DuPontEstimated reading time: 1 minute
DuPont announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022.
"Despite a continued challenging macro environment marked by substantial cost inflation, we delivered better than expected top-line and bottom-line financial performance through disciplined operational execution including necessary targeted pricing actions," said Ed Breen, DuPont Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Underlying demand during the quarter remained strong in most of our key end-markets notably semiconductor, water and general industrial. Looking ahead, we remain focused on solid execution and operating discipline to maintain strong financial performance in a global environment facing continued uncertainties."
"Last week's closing of the M&M divestiture to Celanese was a milestone event for DuPont, advancing our strategy to concentrate the Company's portfolio in more stable, higher-growth and higher-margin businesses," Breen continued. "With the M&M sale now complete, we are returning substantial excess capital to shareholders while also further strengthening our balance sheet to maintain financial flexibility. Our announcement today of a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program and our intent to retire $2.5 billion in long-term debt highlight our commitment to a balanced capital allocation approach focused on shareholder value creation."
