Union Carbide Corporation and Subsidiaries

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise indicated by the context, the terms "Corporation" or "UCC" as used herein mean Union Carbide Corporation and its subsidiaries.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements often address expected future business and financial performance, financial condition, and other matters, and often contain words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “outlook,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “would” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words or phrases.

Forward-looking statements are based on current assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are beyond the Corporation’s control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and speak only as of the date the statements were made. These factors include, but are not limited to: sales of UCC's products; UCC's expenses, future revenues and profitability; the continuing global and regional economic impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and other public health-related risks and events on the Corporation’s business; any sanctions, export restrictions, supply chain disruptions or increased economic uncertainty related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; capital requirements and need for and availability of financing; unexpected barriers in the development of technology, including with respect to UCC’s contemplated capital and operating projects; significant litigation and environmental matters and related contingencies and unexpected expenses; the success of competing technologies that are or may become available; the ability to protect UCC's intellectual property in the United States and abroad; developments related to contemplated restructuring activities and proposed divestitures or acquisitions such as workforce reduction, manufacturing facility and/or asset closure and related exit and disposal activities, and the benefits and costs associated with each of the foregoing; fluctuations in energy and raw material prices; management of process safety and product stewardship; changes in consumer preferences and demand; changes in laws and regulations, political conditions or industry development; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inflation, market uncertainty, interest and currency exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices; business or supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; weather events and natural disasters; disruptions in the Corporation’s information technology networks and systems; and, since The Dow Chemical Company ("TDCC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Inc. (together, with TDCC and its consolidated subsidiaries, "Dow"), is the primary customer of UCC: Dow's ability to realize its commitment to carbon neutrality on the contemplated timeframe; the size of the markets for Dow’s products and services and its ability to compete in such markets; Dow's failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Dow’s products; and changes in relationships with Dow’s significant customers and suppliers.

Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. A detailed discussion of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled "Risk Factors" contained in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Corporation faces. There may be other risks and uncertainties that the Corporation is unable to identify at this time or that it does not currently expect to have a material impact on its business. If any of those risks or uncertainties develops into an actual event, it could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business. The Corporation assumes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable laws.

NOTE 1 - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Union Carbide Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation" or "UCC") were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 10-K").

The Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company ("TDCC"). In accordance with the accounting guidance for earnings per share, the presentation of earnings per share is not required in financial statements of wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Corporation’s business activities comprise components of TDCC’s global operations rather than stand-alone operations. TDCC conducts its worldwide operations through global businesses. Because there are no separate reportable business segments for UCC under the accounting guidance related to segment reporting and no detailed business information is provided to a chief operating decision maker regarding the Corporation’s stand-alone operations, the Corporation’s results are reported as a single operating segment.

Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Transactions with the Corporation’s parent company, TDCC, and other subsidiaries of TDCC, have been reflected as related company transactions in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 10 for additional information.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE

Substantially all of the Corporation's revenue is generated by sales of products, primarily to TDCC. Products are sold to and purchased from TDCC at prices determined in accordance with the terms of an agreement between UCC and TDCC. The Corporation sells its products to TDCC to simplify the customer interface process.

The Corporation’s contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under long-term contracts for product sales and royalties with remaining contract terms that range up to 18 years. Amounts are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations for the contract are met. The Corporation has rights to additional consideration when product is delivered to the customer. The balance of contract liabilities at

9

March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $35 million, of which $2 million was included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and $33 million was included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Corporation disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type of customer (sales to related companies and sales to trade customers) as presented in the consolidated statements of income and believes this disaggregation best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows. Substantially all of the product sales are made to the Corporation's parent company, TDCC, and there are no unique economic factors that affect revenue recognition and cash flows associated with these product sales.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

A summary of the Corporation's commitments and contingencies can be found in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Environmental Matters

Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. At March 31, 2022, the Corporation had accrued obligations of $177 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs ($148 million at December 31, 2021), including $23 million for the remediation of Superfund sites ($23 million at December 31, 2021). This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the Corporation has accrued liabilities, although it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to approximately two times that amount. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that environmental remediation and restoration costs in excess of amounts accrued could have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. It is the opinion of the Corporation’s management that the possibility is remote that costs in excess of the range disclosed will have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown environmental conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies for handling site remediation and restoration. As new or additional information becomes available and/or certain spending trends become known, management will evaluate such information in determination of the current estimate of the environmental liability.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation recorded a pretax charge of $37 million, included in "Cost of sales" in the consolidated statements of income, related to environmental remediation at a number of current and historical locations. The charge primarily resulted from updated remediation estimates and scope changes on existing matters.

Litigation

Asbestos-Related Matters

Each quarter, the Corporation reviews claims filed, settled and dismissed, as well as average settlement and resolution costs by disease category. The Corporation also considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of pending claims, trial experience of the Corporation and other asbestos defendants, current spending for defense and processing costs, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, trends in the tort system, and their respective effects on expected future resolution costs. UCC management considers these factors in conjunction with the most recent actuarial study and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted. Based on the Corporation's review of 2022 activity, it was determined that no adjustment to the accrual was required at March 31, 2022.

The Corporation’s total asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims and defense and processing costs was $1,005 million at March 31, 2022 ($1,016 million at December 31, 2021), and was included in “Asbestos-related liabilities - current” and “Asbestos-related liabilities - noncurrent” in the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2022, approximately 26 percent of the recorded claim liability related to pending claims and approximately 74 percent related to future claims.

NOTE 6 - LEASES

For additional information on the Corporation's leases, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 10-K.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Corporation's financial instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements. For assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 measurements, where the security is frequently traded in less active markets, fair value is based on the closing price at the end of the period; where the security is less frequently traded, fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability, or by using observable market data points of similar, more liquid securities to imply the price. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and subjected to tolerance and quality checks.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Pursuant to General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) for Form 10-Q "Omission of Information by Certain Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries," the Corporation is filing this Form 10-Q with a reduced disclosure format.

References to "TDCC" refer to The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as otherwise indicated by the context. Union Carbide Corporation (the "Corporation" or "UCC") has been a wholly owned subsidiary of TDCC since 2001. TDCC has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Inc. since 2019.

TDCC conducts its worldwide operations through global businesses. UCC's business activities comprise components of TDCC’s global businesses rather than stand-alone operations. Because there are no separate reportable business segments for UCC and no detailed business information is provided to a chief operating decision maker regarding the Corporation’s stand-alone operations, the Corporation’s results are reported as a single operating segment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Total net sales were $1,579 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $1,003 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 57 percent. Net sales to related companies, principally to TDCC, were $1,518 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $969 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 57 percent. Selling prices to TDCC are determined in accordance with the terms of an agreement between UCC and TDCC.

Average selling price increased 47 percent in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the same quarter last year. Price increased across all product lines, driven by tight supply and demand dynamics, with the most significant price increases in polyethylene, oxo alcohols, glycol ethers, ethanolamines and plastics used for wire and cable applications. Volume increased 10 percent in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the same quarter last year as

15

freeze-related impacts of Winter Storm Uri on the U.S Gulf Coast severely limited production in the first quarter of 2021. Volume increased across most product lines with the most significant volume increases in oxo alcohols and acrylic monomers, partially offset by volume decreases in vinyl acetate monomers due to a utility outage, which resulted in unplanned maintenance, downtime and process issues in the first quarter of 2022.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $1,215 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $1,037 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 17 percent. The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher raw material and feedstock costs and increased sales volume as product sales and production in the first quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by precautionary shutdowns, raw material supply disruptions and equipment damage resulting from Winter Storm Uri. Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2022 was also negatively impacted by environmental charges of $37 million, resulting primarily from updated remediation estimates and scope changes on existing matters.

Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes

The Corporation is subject primarily to U.S. federal and state taxes. In the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation reported a tax provision of $80 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 23.9 percent compared with a credit for income taxes of $15 million in the first quarter of 2021, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 23.4 percent.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to UCC

The Corporation reported net income of $255 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with a net loss of $49 million in the first quarter of 2021. The net loss reported in the first quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by production disruptions, increasing feedstock and energy costs not recovered through selling price increases, and repair and start-up costs resulting from the extreme weather caused by Winter Storm Uri.

OTHER MATTERS

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's 2021 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Corporation’s critical accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Corporation’s 2021 10-K. Since December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes in the Corporation’s accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates.

Asbestos-Related Matters

The Corporation is and has been involved in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past four decades. These suits principally allege personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos‑containing products and frequently seek both actual and punitive damages. The alleged claims primarily relate to products that UCC sold in the past, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products located on UCC’s premises, and UCC’s responsibility for asbestos suits filed against a former UCC subsidiary, Amchem Products, Inc. ("Amchem"). In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable loss as a result of such exposure, or that injuries incurred in fact resulted from exposure to UCC’s products.

The table below provides information regarding asbestos-related claims pending against the Corporation and Amchem based on criteria developed by UCC and its external consultants:

Asbestos-Related Claim Activity	2022	2021
Claims unresolved at Jan 1	8,747	9,126
Claims filed	1,214	1,110
Claims settled, dismissed or otherwise resolved	(1,154)	(1,428)
Claims unresolved at Mar 31	8,807	8,808
Claimants with claims against both UCC and Amchem	(2,072)	(2,541)
Individual claimants at Mar 31	6,735	6,267

16

Plaintiffs' lawyers often sue numerous defendants in individual lawsuits or on behalf of numerous claimants. As a result, the damages alleged are not expressly identified as to UCC, Amchem or any other particular defendant, even when specific damages are alleged with respect to a specific disease or injury. In fact, there are no personal injury cases in which only the Corporation and/or Amchem are the sole named defendants. For these reasons and based upon the Corporation's litigation and settlement experience, the Corporation does not consider the damages alleged against it and Amchem to be a meaningful factor in its determination of any potential asbestos-related liability.

For additional information, see Asbestos-Related Matters in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings; and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 10-K.

Debt Covenants and Default Provisions

The Corporation’s outstanding public debt has been issued under indentures which contain, among other provisions, covenants that the Corporation must comply with while the underlying notes are outstanding. Such covenants are typically based on the Corporation’s size and financial position and include, subject to the exceptions and qualifications contained in the indentures, obligations not to (i) allow liens on principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, (ii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, or (iii) merge into or consolidate with any other entity or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets. Failure of the Corporation to comply with any of these covenants could, after the passage of any applicable grace period, result in a default under the applicable indenture which would allow the note holders to accelerate the due date of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the subject notes. Management believes the Corporation was in compliance with the covenants referred to above at March 31, 2022.

Dividends

On a quarterly basis, the Corporation's Board of Directors ("the Board") reviews and determines if there will be a dividend distribution to its parent company and sole shareholder, TDCC. The Board takes into consideration the level of earnings and cash flows, among other factors, in determining the amount of the dividend distribution. In the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation declared and paid a cash dividend of $225 million to TDCC ($40 million in the first quarter of 2021). On April 18, 2022, the Board approved a dividend to TDCC of $296 million, payable on or before June 24, 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Omitted pursuant to General Instruction H of Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's Disclosure Committee and the Corporation's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 that was conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Asbestos-Related Matters

No material developments in asbestos-related matters occurred in the first three months of 2022. For a current status of asbestos-related matters, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Since December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the Corporation's Risk Factors, except as noted below:

Global Economic Considerations: The Corporation operates in a global, competitive environment, which gives rise to operating and market risk exposure.

The Corporation sells substantially all of its products to TDCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Inc., which operates in a competitive, global environment, and competes worldwide for sales. Increased levels of competition could result in lower prices or lower sales volume, which could have a negative impact on the Corporation's results of operations. Sales of TDCC's products are also subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations; trade agreements; import and export controls; taxes; and duties and tariffs. The imposition of additional regulations, controls, taxes and duties and tariffs or changes to bilateral and regional trade agreements could result in lower sales volume, which could negatively impact the Corporation's results of operations.

Economic conditions around the world, and in certain industries in which the Corporation and TDCC do business, also impact sales price and volume. As a result, market uncertainty or an economic downturn driven by political tensions; war, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions and export restrictions; terrorism; epidemics; pandemics; or political instability in the geographic regions or industries in which UCC products are sold could reduce demand for these products and result in decreased sales volume, which could have a negative impact on UCC's results of operations.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine resulting in the United States, Canada, the European Union and other countries imposing economic sanctions on Russia. Dow suspended all purchases of feedstocks and energy from Russia and has significantly reduced its operations and product offerings in the country. Dow has also stopped all investments in and is only supplying limited essential goods to Russia. These actions have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations. However, the fluidity and continuation of the conflict may result in additional economic sanctions and other impacts which could have a negative impact on TDCC’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which could also negatively impact the Corporation. These include decreased sales; supply chain and logistics disruptions; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy; and heightened cybersecurity threats.
