DuPont Reaffirms Guidance, Accelerates Electronics Spin-off
January 16, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
DuPont announced the acceleration of the separation of its Electronics business and is now targeting November 1, 2025 to complete the transaction. This decision recognizes the size and importance of Electronics to the overall shareholder value creation opportunity and DuPont's desire to complete the separation as quickly as possible.
Additionally, DuPont no longer intends to separate its Water business. The company evaluated all strategic alternatives and concluded the best path to generate value is for the Water business to remain in the DuPont portfolio. This also enhances DuPont's ability to continue optimizing its portfolio following the Electronics separation.
"We remain confident in the opportunity to create significant shareholder value through the separation of the Electronics business," said Ed Breen, DuPont Executive Chairman. "Achieving an independent Electronics company as soon as possible is the right decision for our shareholders."
"We remain excited about the value creation opportunity for DuPont following the Electronics separation," added Lori Koch, DuPont Chief Executive Officer. "The decision for Water to remain with DuPont provides the new organization with greater strategic flexibility over time and another high growth business alongside Healthcare. We continue to have conviction in the attractive outlook for Water and expect 2025 to be a strong year for the business."
Reaffirms Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook
DuPont reaffirms its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial guidance for net sales, operating EBITDA and adjusted EPS as provided on November 5, 2024 as part of its third quarter earnings release, including the expected continued improved performance in Water.
