Derivative Instruments
Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The Company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the Company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps.

The Company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the Company's derivative instruments were as follows:

Derivatives Designated in Hedging Relationships
Net Foreign Investment Hedge
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a fixed-for-fixed cross currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $1 billion to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged $1 billion at an interest rate of 4.73 percent for €819 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.26 percent. The cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge and expires on November 15, 2028.

The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for the net investment hedge using the spot method. The Company has also elected to amortize the excluded components in interest expense in the related quarterly accounting period that such interest is accrued. The cross-currency swap is marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments within AOCL, net of amounts associated with excluded components which are recognized in interest expense in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. The Company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the Company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on the contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedges are used to offset foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The amount charged on a pre-tax basis related to foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedges, which was included in “Sundry income (expense) - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations, was a loss of $4 million and a loss of $55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was a loss of $24 million and $74 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements ("2022 Swaps") with an aggregate notional principal amount totaling $1 billion to hedge changes in the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt due to interest rate change movements. These swaps converted $1 billion of the Company’s $1.65 billion principal amount of fixed rate notes due 2038 into floating rate debt for the portion of their terms through 2032 with an interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Under the terms of the agreements, the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, fixed for floating interest amounts based on the agreed upon notional principal amount. The 2022 Swaps expire on November 15, 2032 and are carried at fair value.

Since inception of the 2022 Swaps, fair value hedge accounting has been applied and thus, changes in the fair value of the 2022 Swaps and changes in the fair value of the related hedged portion of long-term debt were presented and net to zero in "Sundry income (expense) – net" in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. On June 5, 2024, DuPont issued a notice of redemption to the bond trustee with respect to a partial redemption of $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 2038 Notes in accordance with their terms. The redemption was effective on June 15, 2024. As a result of the announced redemption, the Company dedesignated the current hedging relationship. At the time of dedesignation, the total amount recorded as a cumulative fair value basis adjustment on the 2038 Notes was a loss of $81 million of which $32 million was recognized as a component of the loss from partial extinguishment of debt. The remaining basis adjustment is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2038 Notes. Refer to Note 13 for additional details on the partial redemption of the 2038 Notes.

In June 2024, the Company entered into two forward-starting fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements (“2024 Swaps”) to hedge the changes in the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt due to interest rate change movements. One swap converted $2.15 billion principal amount of the fixed rate notes due 2048 into floating rate debt for the portion of their terms from 2025 through 2048 with an interest rate based on SOFR. The other swap converted $1 billion principal amount of the fixed rate notes due 2038 into floating rate debt for the portion of their terms from 2032 through 2038 with an interest rate also based on SOFR. The 2024 Swaps have a mandatory early termination date of December 15, 2025 and are carried at fair value. Fair value hedge accounting has not been applied.
The 2022 Swaps and 2024 Swaps are considered economic hedges of the Company’s fixed rate debt. As such, changes in the fair value of the 2022 Swaps after the date of dedesignation and changes in the fair value of the 2024 Swaps since inception have been recorded in “Sundry income (expense) – net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount charged related to interest rate swaps not designated as hedges was a loss of $39 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and zero for the three and six months six months ended June 30, 2023.
