    Dow (NYSE: DOW):

    FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

    • GAAP loss per share was $0.04; Operating EPS¹ was $0.50 and excludes significant items in the quarter totaling $0.54 per share, primarily related to restructuring and asset-related charges, net of a gain on the divestiture of non-revenue generating rail infrastructure assets.
    • Net sales were $9.7 billion, down 10% versus the year-ago period, primarily driven by decreased local prices due to lower global energy prices. Dow’s third quarter sales increased 16% versus the prior quarter.
    • Local price declined 9% versus the year-ago period. Currency was flat. Local prices increased 5% sequentially, with an additional 2% benefit from currency.
    • Volume declined 1% versus the year-ago period. Sequentially, volume increased 9% with all operating segments and regions delivering gains on improved industry demand trends across furniture & bedding, appliances, packaging, construction and automotive end markets.
    • Equity earnings were $60 million, compared to an equity loss of $44 million in the year-ago period, a $104 million increase primarily driven by improved financial results at Sadara.
    • GAAP Net Loss was $1 million. Operating EBIT1 was $761 million, down from $1.1 billion in the year-ago period. Targeted expense reductions were more than offset by Op. EBIT margin compression. Sequentially, Dow delivered a 710-basis point Op. EBIT margin improvement with gains in every operating segment.
    • Cash provided by operating activities – continuing ops. was $1.8 billion, approximately flat compared to the year-ago period. Cash conversion increased to 119% in the period. Free cash flow1 was $1.5 billion, up $156 million year-over-year.
    • Dividend returns to shareholders totaled $518 million in the quarter.
    • Total cash and available committed liquidity at quarter-end was in excess of $13.5 billion, representing an increase of more than $1.5 billion over the prior quarter.
    • The Company achieved a net debt improvement of more than $1.8 billion year-to-date, enabled by strong cash generation and prudent liquidity management. Dow also continued to take proactive liability management actions with a $2 billion debt neutral bond issuance resulting in no substantive long-term debt maturities due until the second half of 2024.
    • Dow completed the divestiture of its North American rail infrastructure assets, receiving $315 million in the quarter. The Company also signed an agreement to divest certain U.S. Gulf Coast marine and terminal operations and assets, with expected cash proceeds of $620 million at close before year end.

    CEO QUOTE

    Jim Fitterling, Dow’s chairman and chief executive officer, commented on the quarter:

    “The Dow team delivered improved sequential results well above second quarter lows and robust operating cash flow in line with the year-ago period, enabled by rebounding demand and the early actions we took to focus on cash, reduce expenses and pay down debt. We increased our operating rates to match rising demand as the recovery gained momentum. In polyethylene, we achieved pricing gains of 12% over the prior quarter as demand for packaging remained resilient, and in polyurethanes, we delivered higher volumes and margins underpinned by improving consumer durable demand.

    "At the same time, we enhanced our competitiveness by implementing our restructuring program – set to deliver $300 million in annualized EBITDA benefit. We also announced a second infrastructure asset sale for select marine and terminal assets on the U.S. Gulf Coast aligned with our best-owner mindset. Throughout the quarter, we also advanced our sustainability initiatives, creating new opportunities for growth, driving innovative solutions for our customers, and increasing efficiencies throughout our operations.”

    Packaging & Specialty Plastics net sales were $4.6 billion, down 10% versus the year-ago period. Volume increased 1% due to integrated plastics demand, partly offset by lower licensing activity. Local price declined 12% versus the year-ago period from lower global energy prices, and currency increased net sales by 1%. On a sequential basis, the segment recorded a 14% net sales improvement driven by strong pricing momentum as evidenced by four consecutive months of polyethylene price increases in consumer packaging applications.

    Equity earnings for the segment were $71 million, compared to $23 million in the year-ago period. Gains were driven by improved integrated olefin and aromatics margins at the Sadara and Thai joint ventures.

    Operating EBIT was $647 million, compared to $798 million in the year-ago period. Targeted expense reductions and volume gains were more than offset by integrated margin compression. Sequentially, the segment expanded Op. EBIT margins by 630 basis points driven by a strong rebound in consumer and industrial sectors.

    Packaging and Specialty Plastics reported a net sales decline driven by reduced polyethylene prices compared to the year-ago period. Volume was flat as gains in Asia Pacific and double-digit gains in Latin America were offset by declines in the rest of the world. Notably, the decline in the U.S. & Canada was primarily driven by lower licensing revenue and hurricane-driven outages. The business captured strong demand growth in flexible food and specialty packaging; infrastructure, consumer and transportation packaging; and health and hygiene applications. Compared to the prior quarter, the business delivered local price gains in all regions and double-digit gains in the U.S. & Canada and Latin America.

    Hydrocarbons & Energy reported lower net sales as volume gains were more than offset by reduced prices compared to the year-ago period. Declines were driven by lower global energy prices as well as decreased by-product prices resulting from soft end-market demand. Sequentially, the business delivered double-digit local price gains in all regions in line with the global energy price recovery.

    Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure net sales were $3.1 billion, down 9% versus the year-ago period. Volume declined 3% due to reduced demand in automotive, industrial and energy end markets, particularly in the U.S. & Canada. Local price decreased 7% and currency increased net sales by 1%. On a sequential basis, the segment recorded a 27% net sales improvement driven by significant volume recovery in polyurethane applications as demand for durable goods, construction and automotive improved.

    Equity losses for the segment were $13 million, an improvement of $57 million compared to equity losses of $70 million in the year-ago period, driven by higher sales volume, margin expansion and improved operations at our Sadara joint venture, partly due to a third party gas supplier outage in the year-ago period and improved end-market demand.

    Operating EBIT was $104 million compared to $193 million in the year-ago period due to weaker demand and margin compression in the core businesses. Sequentially, the segment expanded Op. EBIT margins by 1,250 basis points driven by significant recovery in sales volume and improvement in margin-over-raw material costs in polyurethane applications.

    Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals reported a net sales decline compared to the year-ago period primarily on lower local prices driven by reduced global energy costs and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Following broader macroeconomic recovery patterns, volume growth in EMEAI and Asia Pacific was more than offset by declines in the U.S. & Canada and Latin America. Demand in furniture & bedding and appliances exceeded the year-ago period. And sequentially, the business delivered double-digit volume growth overall, primarily driven by a rebound in consumer durables, construction and automotive end markets.

    Industrial Solutions reported lower net sales driven by decreased local prices and volume compared to the year-ago period. Improved demand for electronics and pharma applications was more than offset by declines in materials for industrial and energy sectors as a result of the pandemic. Volume gains in EMEAI – driven by catalyst sales as well as heat transfer fluids for concentrated solar power applications – were more than offset by declines in other regions. Sequentially, demand improved driven by industrial market recovery.

    Performance Materials & Coatings net sales were $2 billion, down 11% versus the year-ago period. Volume declined 5% as growth in home care products as well as do-it-yourself (DIY) architectural coatings was more than offset by declines in automotive, construction, and oil & gas applications. Local price decreased 6%, and currency was flat. On a sequential basis, the segment recorded an 8% net sales improvement driven by volume recovery in coatings and silicones applications.

    Operating EBIT was $75 million, compared to $200 million in the year-ago period, primarily driven by margin compression in siloxanes and reduced demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sequentially, the segment expanded Op. EBIT margins by 220 basis points led by demand recovery in silicones offerings and coatings.

    Consumer Solutions reported a decrease in net sales due to lower volumes in all regions except Latin America, which was flat compared to the year-ago period, as well as reduced local prices, primarily due to excess global supply of siloxanes. Demand growth in home care applications was more than offset by volume declines in automotive and construction end markets. High-end personal care applications continue to follow restricted workplace and social activities, which lag recovery in other industries. Compared to the prior quarter, the business delivered volume gains as industrial manufacturing activity, high-rise building projects, and mobility & transportation began to improve.

    Coatings & Performance Monomers reported lower net sales as volume increases were more than offset by local price declines primarily due to weak supply/demand fundamentals in monomers compared to the year-ago period. Demand increased in architectural coatings as residential construction end-market dynamics improved and consumers continued DIY projects at home. The business achieved volume growth in all regions except the U.S. & Canada which was flat versus the year-ago period, despite lower demand for monomers used in oil & gas applications. Sequentially, the business captured demand growth – with double-digit increases in nearly all regions – led by architectural coatings.

    OUTLOOK

    “We enter the fourth quarter with sequential momentum, improved financial flexibility, and a consistent focus on cash which will continue to benefit us as the gradual recovery strengthens and broadens," said Fitterling. "I am tremendously proud of the Dow team’s discipline in the face of the pandemic and multiple natural disasters. Although the third quarter rebound was significant, the recovery has been uneven across markets, and we expect this will continue in the near term. We are determined to continue delivering against our strategic and operational objectives. Our proactive and agile approach to evolving market conditions – combined with our fundamental competitive advantages of industry-leading feedstock flexibility, geographic breadth, and participation in diverse end markets and technologies – will enable us to continue to build on our performance and advance our ambition."

    Separation from DowDuPont

    On April 1, 2019, DowDuPont Inc. ("DowDuPont" and effective June 3, 2019, n/k/a DuPont de Nemours, Inc. or "DuPont") completed the separation of its materials science business and Dow Inc. became the direct parent company of The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("TDCC" and together with Dow Inc., "Dow" or the "Company"), owning all of the outstanding common shares of TDCC. For filings related to the period commencing April 1, 2019 and thereafter, TDCC was deemed the predecessor to Dow Inc., and the historical results of TDCC are deemed the historical results of Dow Inc. for periods prior to and including March 31, 2019. The information in this report reflects the results of Dow and its consolidated subsidiaries, after giving effect to the distribution to DowDuPont of TDCC’s agricultural sciences business (“AgCo”) and specialty products business (“SpecCo”) and the receipt of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries' (“Historical DuPont”) ethylene and ethylene copolymers business (other than its ethylene acrylic elastomers business) ("ECP").

    The separation was contemplated by the merger of equals transaction effective August 31, 2017, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017. TDCC and Historical DuPont each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont and, as a result, TDCC and Historical DuPont became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, TDCC and Historical DuPont engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. Dow Inc. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont to serve as the holding company for the materials science business.

    Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

    In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations and results by segment, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information has been included in the following financial schedules. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the consolidated financial statements of TDCC, adjusted to give effect to the separation from DowDuPont as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 pro forma adjustments have been made for (1) the margin impact of various manufacturing, supply and service related agreements entered into with DuPont and Corteva in connection with the separation which provide for different pricing than the historical intercompany and intracompany pricing practices of TDCC and Historical DuPont and (2) the elimination of the impact of events directly attributable to the Merger, internal reorganization and business realignment, separation, distribution and other related transactions (e.g., one-time transaction costs). The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2019, are presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

    The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Dow's results of operations actually would have been had the separation from DowDuPont been completed as of January 1, 2017, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Dow. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect restructuring or integration activities or other costs following the separation from DowDuPont that may be incurred to achieve cost or growth synergies of Dow. For further information on the unaudited pro forma financial information, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 3, 2019.

    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 the Company's pro forma consolidated results and pro forma earnings per share on an adjusted basis. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's 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 alternatives 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. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 13. Dow 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.

    Operating earnings (loss) per share is defined as "Earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items. Pro forma operating earnings per share is defined as "Pro forma earnings per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items.

    Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items. Pro forma operating EBIT is defined as pro forma earnings (i.e., "Pro forma income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items.

    Operating EBIT margin is defined as Operating EBIT as a percentage of net sales. Pro forma Operating EBIT margin is defined as pro forma Operating EBIT as a percentage of pro forma net sales.

    Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items. Pro forma operating EBITDA is defined as pro forma earnings (i.e., "Pro forma income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items.

    Free cash flow is defined as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," less capital expenditures. Under this definition, free cash flow represents the cash generated by the Company from operations after investing in its asset base. Free cash flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represent the cash available to fund obligations and provide returns to shareholders. Free cash flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process.

    Cash flow conversion is defined as "Cash provided by operating activities - continuing operations," divided by Operating EBITDA. Management believes cash flow conversion is an important financial metric as it helps the Company determine how efficiently it is converting its earnings into cash flow.

    Net debt is defined as total gross debt minus "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Marketable securities." The Company believes net debt is the best representation of its financial leverage at this point in time.
