Dow reports third quarter 2024 results
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
GAAP earnings per share was $0.30; operating earnings per share (EPS)1 was $0.47, compared to $0.48 in the year-ago period and $0.68 in the prior quarter. Op. EPS excludes significant items totaling $0.17 per share, including restructuring and efficiency costs and charges related to a previously divested business.

Net sales were $10.9 billion, up 1% compared to the year-ago period, led by higher sales in the U.S. & Canada. Sales were flat sequentially.

Volume increased 1% compared to the year-ago period, driven by gains in Performance Materials & Coatings. Sequentially, volume increased 1%, led by gains in Packaging & Specialty Plastics and Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure.

Local price was flat year-over-year, as gains in Packaging & Specialty Plastics were offset by decreases in Performance Materials & Coatings. Sequentially, local price was down 1%, reflecting minor declines in all segments.

Currency was flat both year-over-year and sequentially.

Equity earnings were $2 million, up $9 million compared to the year-ago period. Sequentially, equity earnings were down $24 million.

GAAP net income was $240 million. Op. EBIT1 was $641 million, up $15 million year-over-year, primarily driven by higher integrated margins in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, which were partly offset by the impact of an unplanned cracker outage in Texas and higher planned maintenance activity. Sequentially, Op. EBIT was down $178 million, reflecting the impact of the same unplanned cracker outage and lower local prices, primarily in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) and Asia Pacific.

Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $800 million, down $858 million year-over-year, primarily due to higher inventory to support both sales growth and labor-related supply chain disruptions. Sequentially, cash from operating activities was down $32 million.

Returns to shareholders totaled $584 million in the quarter, including $490 million in dividends and $94 million in share repurchases.

CEO QUOTE
Jim Fitterling, chair and chief executive officer, commented on the quarter:

“In the third quarter, Team Dow delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year volume growth, while managing ongoing macroeconomic softness and an unplanned cracker outage in Texas. Our cost-advantaged footprint in the Americas continues to provide a strong competitive edge, enabling Dow to capture demand growth in attractive markets. However, a meaningful recovery has yet to materialize in Europe and China. In addition, Europe’s regulatory environment has led to increasing challenges across many sectors and value chains. Since 2023, we have proactively taken targeted actions to optimize our global asset footprint. Consistent with our best-owner mindset, we are announcing a strategic review of select assets in Europe, primarily those in our Polyurethanes business. We will continue to optimize our global footprint, while maximizing cash generation as we make progress on our higher-return investments that will drive long-term shareholder value.”

OUTLOOK

“Looking forward, we continue to operate with discipline as we capitalize on areas of demand strength and leverage our global scale and advantaged cost positions,” said Fitterling. “As cycle dynamics improve, we remain well-positioned to enable higher returns to shareholders. Our financial strength will continue to support our counter-cyclical growth investments, which are focused in higher-value businesses and regions, particularly where demand is resilient and we have a competitive cost advantage. Altogether, these investments are expected to deliver more than $3 billion in underlying earnings by 2030.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes information that does not conform to GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. 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 GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to 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 GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 11. Dow does not provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable 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 GAAP results for the guidance period.

Operating Earnings Per Share is defined as "Earnings per common share - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items.

Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income 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.

Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income 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.

Operating Return on Capital (ROC) is defined as net operating profit after tax, excluding the impact of significant items, divided by total average capital, also referred to as ROIC.
